other risks and uncertainties, including those referred to under the section titled "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report

 

Certain of the forward-looking statements contained herein concerning the cannabis industry and the general expectations of TerrAscend concerning the cannabis industry are based on estimates prepared by TerrAscend 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, TerrAscend 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 TerrAscend operates; (iii) the output from TerrAscend’s operations; (iv) consumer interest in TerrAscend’s products; (v) competition; (vi) anticipated and unanticipated costs; (vii) government regulation of TerrAscend’s activities; (viii) the timely receipt of any required regulatory approvals; (ix) TerrAscend’s ability to obtain qualified staff, equipment and services in a timely and cost efficient manner; and (x) TerrAscend’s ability to conduct operations in a safe, efficient and effective manner.

 

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 TerrAscend, 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 ("U.S.") relating to cannabis operations in the U.S.; and those discussed under Item 1A – “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2023 and 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. TerrAscend 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. TerrAscend 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.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except for share and per share amounts)

1. Nature of operations

 

TerrAscend Corp. (“TerrAscend” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Ontario Business Corporations Act on March 7, 2017. TerrAscend provides cannabis products, brands, and services to the United States (“U.S.”) and Canadian cannabinoid markets where cannabis production or consumption has been legalized for therapeutic or adult use. TerrAscend operates a number of synergistic businesses, including Gage ("Gage"), a cultivator, processor and retailer in Michigan; KISA Enterprises MI, LLC and KISA Holdings LLC (collectively "Pinnacle"); The Apothecarium (“The Apothecarium”), a cannabis dispensary with several retail locations in California, Pennsylvania and New Jersey; TerrAscend NJ, LLC ("TerrAscend NJ"), a cultivator, processor and retailer with operations in New Jersey; Ilera Healthcare (“Ilera”), Pennsylvania’s medical cannabis cultivator, processor and dispenser; vertically integrated operations in Maryland which include HMS Health, LLC and HMS Processing, LLC (collectively “HMS”), a cannabis cultivator and processor, Allegany Medical Marijuana Dispensary ("AMMD"), Peninsula Alternative Health ("Peninsula"), Blue Ridge Wellness ("Blue Ridge"), and Herbiculture Inc. ("Herbiculture"); Valhalla Confections, a cannabis-infused edibles brand; and State Flower, a California-based cannabis producer operating a licensed cultivation facility in San Francisco. Notwithstanding various states in the U.S. which have implemented medical marijuana laws, or which have otherwise legalized the use of cannabis, the use of cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law for any purpose, by way of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.

 

Effective July 4, 2023, the Company commenced trading of its common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"), under the ticker symbol "TSND". Beginning on May 3, 2017 until the Company's listing on the TSX, common shares of the Company were traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange under ticker symbol "TER".

Summary of significant accounting policies
(a)
Basis of presentation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) of the Company and its subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP").

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year ended December 31, 2023, or any other interim or future periods.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value as described herein. At September 30, 2023, TerrAscend had an accumulated deficit of $662,075. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, TerrAscend incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $8,439 and $40,472, respectively. Additionally, as of September 30, 2023 the Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets. Therefore, the Company expects that it may need additional capital to continue to fund its operations.

The aforementioned indicators raise substantial doubt about TerrAscend's ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The Company believes this concern is mitigated by steps to improve its operations and cash position, including: (i) identifying access to future capital required to meet the Company’s on-going obligations, (ii) improved cashflow growth from the Company's consolidated operations, particularly in New Jersey and most recently Maryland with conversion to adult use sales, and (iii) various cost and efficiency improvements.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022 contained in the Company's 2022 Form 10-K. There were no significant changes to the policies disclosed in Note 2 of the summary of significant accounting policies of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 in the Company's 2022 Form 10-K other than the new estimate disclosed in Note 3 of the financial statements.

TerrAscend Corp.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except for share and per share amounts)

3.
Consolidation

The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest by evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity (“VOE”) or a variable interest entity (“VIE”).

As a part of the TSX listing, the Company reorganized its ownership in subsidiaries to segregate the Company’s Canadian cannabis operations from its operations in the United States and amended its share structure at TerrAscend (the "Reorganization"). After the Reorganization, the Company owns 95% of its Canadian business. The Company continues to consolidate both its Canadian and its U.S. cannabis operation under two different consolidation models.

Subsequent to the Reorganization, all operations in the United States have a functional currency of USD. Canadian operations continue to have a functional currency of CAD.

Voting Interest Entities

 

A VOE is an entity in which (1) the total equity investment at risk is deemed sufficient to absorb the expected losses of the entity, (2) the at-risk equity holders, as a group, have all of the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and (3) the entity is structured with substantive voting rights. The Company consolidates the Canadian operations under a VOE model based on the controlling financial interest obtained through common shares with substantive voting rights.

Variable Interest Entities

 

A VIE is an entity that lacks one or more characteristics of a controlling financial interest defined under the voting interest model. The Company consolidates VIE when it has a variable interest that provide it with (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (power) and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE (benefits).

 

As a result of the Company's TSX listing effort, TerrAscend Growth Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $1 million of Class A shares to an investor. See Note 10 for accounting treatment of Class A shares. The Company’s ownership in Class B shares, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of TerrAscend Growth Corp., were exchanged for non-voting, non-participating exchangeable shares of TerrAscend Growth Corp. Simultaneously, the Company entered into a protection agreement with TerrAscend Growth Corp. that contains certain negative covenants that are designed to preserve the value of the non-voting shares until such time as they are converted into common shares. The Company determined TerrAscend Growth Corp. is a VIE as all the Company’s US activities continue to be conducted on behalf of the Company which has disproportionately few voting rights. After conducting an analysis of the following VIE factors; purpose and design of the VIE, the protection agreement in place, the board structure of TerrAscend Growth Corp., and substantive kick-out rights of the Class A shareholders, it was determined that the Company has the power to direct the activities of TerrAscend Growth Corp. In addition, given the structure of the Class A shares where all of the losses and substantially all of the benefits of TerrAscend Growth Corp. are absorbed by the Company, the Company consolidates as the primary beneficiary in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810 Consolidation. Management has applied significant judgment on the decision to consolidate its VIE's based on the facts and circumstances noted above.

 

The Company's U.S. operations are consolidated through the VIE model. Therefore, substantially all of the Company's current assets, non-current assets, current liabilities and non-current liabilities are consolidated through the VIE model. The Company's assets and liabilities that are not consolidated through the VIE model include convertible debt, derivative liability and assets and liabilities from discontinued operations. The Company also consolidates a minimal amount of assets and liabilities within Canada, see Note 21 for more information.

TerrAscend Corp.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except for share and per share amounts)

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company has an Employee Retention Credit ("ERC") for qualified wages of $14,903 which was included in other receivables in the table above at December 31, 2022. During January 2023, the Company received $12,667, pursuant to a financing agreement with a third-party lender. In exchange, the Company assigned to the lender its interests in the $14,903 ERC claim that was submitted during December 2022. The difference between the amount of the claim and the amount received from the lender is the employee retention credits transfer fee which is equal to 15% of the total claim amount. The framework prescribed in ASC 860 Transfers and Servicing was reviewed and management has concluded that this should be accounted for as an asset transfer with recourse. This fee is included in finance and other expenses. If the Company does not receive the ERC claim, in whole or in part, the Company is required to repay the related portion of the funds received plus interest of 10% accrued from the date of the financing agreement through the repayment date. The Company’s obligation under the financing agreement will be satisfied upon receipt of the ERC claim or other full repayment. As of September 30, 2023, the lender has received refunds in the amount of $11,527. Subsequent to quarter end, the lender has received a further $1,739, and is awaiting receipt of the remaining refunds. Management has concluded that collection remains probable and no additional recourse obligation was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

TerrAscend Corp.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except for share and per share amounts)

The acquired intangible assets include a medical license, which is treated as a definite-lived intangible asset and amortized over a 30-year period.

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 September 30, 2023. The fair value of net assets acquired, specifically with respect to inventory, intangible assets, property and equipment, operating right of use assets, lease liabilities, 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. An adjustment was made to decrease intangible assets of $nil for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and of $620 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to new information regarding the fair value at January 27, 2023. This resulted in an increase to goodwill of the same amount.

Costs related to this transaction were $191, including legal, accounting, due diligence, and other transaction-related expenses. Of the total amount of transaction costs, $36 and $99 were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

On a standalone basis, had the Company acquired the business on January 1, 2023, sales estimates would have been $7,956 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and net income estimates would have been $2,716. Actual sales and net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 since the date of acquisition are $7,277 and $2,472, respectively.

Peninsula

On June 28, 2023, the Company closed the acquisition of Peninsula, a dispensary located in Salisbury, Maryland. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest in Peninsula for total consideration of $15,394 exclusive of assumed financing obligations of $7,226. The consideration was comprised of 5,442,282 common shares of the Company, valued at $7,857 ("stock consideration"), a $3,646 secured promissory note at an interest rate of 7.25% maturing on June 28, 2026, and $1,234 in cash. The cash consideration paid included transaction expenses and repayments of indebtedness on behalf of Peninsula of $290 and $33, respectively.

The stock consideration was subject to a statutory lock-up restriction of 6 months, and, as such, a share restriction discount was considered in determining the fair value of the closing stock payment as at the transaction date. The Company guaranteed that if within 18 months from the transaction date of the stock consideration, the aggregate gross proceeds resulting from the sales of the common shares plus the aggregate value of the remaining common shares is less than $9,000, the Company shall pay the difference ("Peninsula contingent consideration"). The fair value of the Peninsula contingent consideration was calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model ("Black-Scholes model").

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 Leases, both parties must assess whether the buyer-lessor has obtained control of the asset and a sale has occurred. Through the Gage Acquisition, the Company entered into leaseback transactions on six 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. During 2023, five out of six agreements were amended to remove the purchase option which qualified the transactions as a sale. As a result, the Company derecognized underlying assets of $8,725 and its related financial obligations in the amount of $10,528, resulting in a gain of $1,803 during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The Company concurrently recognized an operating right of use asset and operating lease liability of $10,518 for the five dispensaries. The balance of the remaining financial obligation at September 30, 2023 was $991. Of this amount, $98 is included in other current liabilities and $893

Convertible Debt

 

In June and August 2023, the Company closed the private placements of a total of 10,355 senior unsecured convertible debentures at a price of $1,000 per debenture for total gross proceeds of $10,355. Unless repaid or converted earlier, the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the debentures will be due and payable 36 months following the closing of the debenture Offering (the “Maturity Date”). Each debenture bears interest at a rate of 9.9% per annum from the date of issuance, calculated and compounded semi-annually, and payable on the Maturity Date. Each holder had the option to elect to receive up to 4.95% per annum of such interest payable in cash on a semi-annual basis. Each debenture will be convertible into common shares, at the option of the holder, at any time or times prior to the close of business on the last business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, at a conversion price of $2.01. Holders converting their debentures will receive accrued and unpaid interest for the period from and including the date of the last interest payment date, to and including, the date of conversion.

 

In accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, the conversion option was bifurcated from the host instrument as the instrument's strike price is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the issuer. It was recorded at fair value, using the Black-Scholes model (Note 23). The proceeds are allocated first to the conversion option based on its fair value of $3,600, and the residual was allocated to the host instrument and recorded as convertible debt at a fair value of $6,755.

Private Placement Financing

 

Concurrently with convertible debenture placements (Note 12), in June 2023, the Company closed three tranches of private placements of equity securities (together with the Convertible Debt (Note 12), the "Private Placements") at a price of $1.50 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $9,871. Each unit is comprised of one common share of the Company and one-half warrant to purchase one common share. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $1.95 per common share for a period of 24 months following the date of issuance.

Detachable warrants issued in a bundled transaction are accounted for separately. Under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, the detachable warrants meet the definition of derivative because the exercise price is denominated in a currency that is different from the functional currency of the Company. It was recorded at a fair value of $2,216, using the Black-Scholes model. The proceeds are allocated first to the warrants based on their fair value, and the residual of $7,655 was allocated to the equity (Note 23). As of September 30, 2023, the warrants were revalued at $3,020 and a loss was recorded in (Gain) loss on fair value of warrants and purchase option derivative asset on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

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 U.S. treasury bond issues with a remaining term approximately equal to the expected life of the options. Dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

The total estimated fair value of stock options that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $4,587 and $6,378, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, there was $8,190 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options.

Non-controlling interest

Non-controlling interest consists mainly of the Company’s ownership minority interest in its New Jersey operations.

On June 26, 2023, the Company reduced its non-controlling interest through a buy out of the minority interest in IHC Real Estate LP (Note 10).

This transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction. The carrying amount of the non-controlling interest was adjusted by $1,323 to reflect the change in the net book value ownership interest. The difference from the consideration paid of $7,500 is recognized in additional paid in capital and attributed to the parent’s equity holders.

Related parties

Parties are related if one party has the ability to control or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financing and operating decisions. At September 30, 2023 amounts due to/from related parties consisted of:

 

(a)
Loans payable: During the year ended December 31, 2020, a small number of related persons, which consisted of key management of the Company, participated in the Ilera term loan (Note 10), which makes up $163 of the total loan principal balance at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
(b)
Private Placements: The Private Placements constitute a related party transaction because related persons, which consisted of key management and directors of the Company participated in the transaction. The Company’s Executive Chairman, participated, directly and indirectly, in the equity offering and acquired 800,002 Units for gross proceeds of $1,200. In total, the related persons acquired, in the aggregate, 2,000 Debentures and 825,734 Units in connection with the Private Placements for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,239.
17.
Income taxes

The Company's effective tax rate was (265%) and (418%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively and 10% and 8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 differed from the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to the disallowed tax deductions for

22


TerrAscend Corp.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except for share and per share amounts)

business expenses pursuant to Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and a return to provision adjustment primarily related to the Company's New Jersey tax return filings. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 differed from the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to the disallowed tax deductions for business expenses pursuant to Section 280E of the Code.

The Company's effective tax rate can vary each reporting period depending on, among other factors, the geographic and business mix of the Company's earnings, changes to the valuation allowance, and permanently non-deductible expenses. Certain of these and other factors, including the Company's history and projections of pre-tax earnings, are considered in assessing the Company's ability to realize any deferred tax assets including net operating losses.

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 and debt. The equity issuances are outlined in Note 13, debt modifications are outlined in Note 10, and debt financing are outlined in Note 12.

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 September 30, 2023.

As a result of the Reorganization, the Company has agreed to implement certain equity and capital management restrictions to comply with the rules and policies of the TSX. As such, the Company has agreed to limitations on the utilization of any proceeds raised through the sale of Company equity, including restrictions on funding of its US operations with such proceeds.

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

 

The following discussion and analysis of TerrAscend's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with TerrAscend's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial information and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 16, 2023, or the Annual Report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q including information with respect to TerrAscend's plans and strategy for its business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth under "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report, its actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the following discussion and analysis.

 

Unless otherwise noted, dollar amounts in this Item 2 are in thousands of U.S. dollars.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) of the financial condition and results of operations of TerrAscend is for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and the accompanying notes for each respective period.

 

Overview

 

TerrAscend is a leading North American cannabis operator with vertically integrated licensed operations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, Maryland and California, and is a cannabis retailer in Ontario, Canada with a majority-owned dispensary in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. TerrAscend’s cultivation and manufacturing practices yield consistent and high-quality cannabis, providing industry-leading product selection to both the medical and legal adult-use markets. Notwithstanding the fact that various states in the U.S. have implemented medical marijuana laws or that have otherwise legalized the use of cannabis, the use of cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law for any purpose, by way of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.

 

TerrAscend operates under one operating segment, which is the cultivation, production and sale of cannabis products.

TerrAscend owns a portfolio of operating businesses and several synergistic brands including:

 

Allegany Medical Marijuana Dispensary ("AMMD"), a dispensary in Cumberland, Maryland;
Blue Ridge Wellness (“Blue Ridge”), a dispensary located in Parkville, Maryland;
Gage ("Gage"), a vertically integrated cannabis cultivator, processor and dispensary operator in Michigan;
Herbiculture Inc ("Herbiculture"), a dispensary located in Burtonsville, Maryland;
HMS Health, LLC (“HMS Health”) and HMS Processing, LLC (“HMS Processing” and together with HMS Health, “HMS”), a producer and seller of dried flower and oil products for the wholesale cannabis market in Maryland;
Ilera Healthcare ("Ilera"), a vertically integrated cannabis cultivator, processor and dispensary operator in Pennsylvania;
KISA Enterprises MI, LLC and KISA Holdings, LLC (collectively "Pinnacle"), a dispensary operator in Michigan;
Peninsula Alternative Health ("Peninsula"), a dispensary located in Salisbury, Maryland;
State Flower, a California-based cannabis producer operating a licensed cultivation facility in San Francisco, California;
TerrAscend Canada (“TerrAscend Canada” or “TCI”) is a cannabis retailer in Ontario, Canada with a majority-owned dispensary in Toronto, Ontario, Canada ("Cookies Canada"). TerrAscend Canada was previously a Licensed Producer (as such term is defined in the Cannabis Act) of cannabis until TerrAscend commenced an optimization of its operations in Canada, whereby TerrAscend reduced its manufacturing footprint in order to focus on its Cookies Canada retail business, as well as monetize its intellectual property portfolio in Canada. TerrAscend ceased operations at its manufacturing facility during the three months ended December 31, 2022 and increased its ownership interest in Cookies Retail Canada Corp. to 95% of the issued and outstanding shares effective April 14, 2023;
TerrAscend NJ, LLC (“TerrAscend NJ”), a majority owned subsidiary that operates three dispensaries in New Jersey with the ability to cultivate and process;
The Apothecarium, consisting of retail dispensaries in California, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey;

Recent Developments

 

On July 4, 2023, the Company commenced trading of its common shares on the TSX under the new ticker symbol “TSND”. Subsequently, the ticker symbol on the OTC market was changed to “TSNDF” effective July 6, 2023.
On July 10, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Herbiculture, a dispensary in Maryland.
On July 28, 2023, $2,500 of the restricted cash was released from the required $5,000 on deposit in a restricted account, upon meeting certain criteria pursuant to the terms of the Stearns Loan.
On August 2, 2023, the Company closed a private placement of 250 senior unsecured convertible debentures at a price of $1,000 per debenture for total gross proceeds of approximately $250.

 

Subsequent Transactions

 

On October 2, 2023, pursuant to the terms of its senior secured term loan with WDB Holding PA, a subsidiary of the TerrAscend ("Ilera Term Loan"), the Company completed a prepayment of the Ilera Term Loan of $1,500 at the original prepayment price of 103.22% to par.

 

Components of Results of Operations

 

The following discussion sets forth certain components of the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss as well as factors that impact those items.

 

Revenue

 

TerrAscend generates revenue from the sale of cannabis products, brands, and services to the United States and Canadian markets. Revenues consist of wholesale and retail sales in the medical and legal adult use market across Canada and in several U.S. states where cannabis has been legalized for medical or adult use.

 

Cost of sales

Cost of sales primarily consists of expenses related to providing cannabis products and services to TerrAscend's customers, including personnel-related expenses, the depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and other overhead costs.

 

General and administrative

 

General and administrative ("G&A") consists primarily of personnel costs related to finance, human resources, legal, and other administrative functions. Additionally G&A expense includes professional fees to third parties, as well as marketing expenses. In addition, G&A expense includes share-based compensation on options, restricted stock units and warrants. TerrAscend expects that G&A expense will increase in absolute dollars as the business grows.

 

Amortization and depreciation

 

Amortization and depreciation includes the amortization of intangible assets. Amortization is calculated on a straight line basis over the following terms:

 

Brand intangibles- indefinite lives

Indefinite useful lives

Brand intangibles- definite lives

3 years

Software

5 years

Licenses

5-30 years

30


 

Customer relationships

5 years

Non-compete agreements

3 years

 

Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset using the following terms:

 

Buildings and improvements

Lesser of useful life or 30 years

Land

Not depreciated

Machinery & equipment

5-15 years

Office furniture & production equipment

3-5 years

Right of use assets

Lease term

Assets in process

Not depreciated

 

Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill

 

Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually and whenever there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amount has been impaired. TerrAscend first performs a qualitative assessment. If based on the results of a qualitative assessment it has been determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, an additional quantitative impairment test is performed which compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment is recorded.

 

Definite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment when there are indications that an asset may be impaired. When indicators of impairment exist, TerrAscend performs a quantitative impairment test which compares the carrying value of the assets for intangible assets to their estimated fair values. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment is recorded.

 

(Gain) loss from revaluation of contingent consideration

 

As a result of some of its acquisitions, TerrAscend recognizes a contingent consideration payable, which is an obligation to transfer additional assets to the seller if future events occur. The liability is revalued at the end of each reporting period to determine its fair value. A gain or loss is recognized in the other (income) expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as a result of the revaluation.

 

Loss (gain) on fair value of warrants and purchase option derivative asset

 

The Company's warrant liability consists of the warrant liability acquired through its Gage Acquisition, a detachable warrant liability issued through the private placement (Note 13), and a conversion option related to the convertible debenture offering (Note 12). These warrants were recorded as a warrant liability and are remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting unit using the Black-Scholes model. A gain or loss is recognized in the other (income) expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as a result of the revaluation.

 

Finance and other expenses

 

Finance and other expenses consists primarily of interest expense on TerrAscend's outstanding debt obligations.

 

Transaction and restructuring costs

 

Transaction costs include costs incurred in connection with TerrAscend's acquisitions, such as expenses related to professional fees, consulting, legal and accounting. Restructuring costs are those costs associated with severance and restructuring of business units.

 

Impairment of property and equipment

 

TerrAscend evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset, or asset group, may not be recoverable. When TerrAscend determines that the carrying value of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more indicators, the assets are assessed for impairment based on the estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the carrying

31


 

value of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value.

 

Unrealized and realized foreign exchange (gain) loss

 

Unrealized and realized foreign exchange (gain) loss represents the loss recognized on the remeasurement of USD denominated cash and other assets recorded in the Canadian dollars functional currency at TerrAscend's Canadian operations.

 

Unrealized and realized loss (gain) on investments

 

TerrAscend accounts for its investment in equity securities without readily determinable fair values using a valuation technique which maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs, with subsequent holding changes in fair value recognized in unrealized gain or loss on investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

 

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes

 

Provision for income taxes consists of U.S. federal and state income taxes in certain jurisdictions in which TerrAscend conducts business.

The increase of $6,323 in cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 was mainly due to an increase in sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue improved to 46% from 53% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, driven by increased yields in New Jersey, improved utilization in Maryland, lower costs in Pennsylvania as a result of scaling back the cultivation facility, and reduced discounting combined with improved verticalization in Michigan.

The increase in general and administrative ("G&A") expense of $1,895 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily a result of an increase in salaries and wages due to Maryland acquisitions during the third quarter of 2023.

The decrease in the revaluation of contingent consideration for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 was due to a reduction in the contingent liability for Peninsula acquisition, which was a result of the increase in the Company's share price from June 30, 2023, as compared to September 30, 2023.

Revenue increased from $178,788 to $230,762 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 driven by growth in retail and wholesale market sales. The increase was primarily a result of the implementation of adult use sales in New Jersey in April 2022 and Maryland in July 2023 along with the acquisition of AMMD, Peninsula, Blue Ridge, and Herbiculture in the first and second quarters of 2023, and the acquisition of Gage in Michigan in March 2022. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in wholesale sales in Pennsylvania and retail sales in California.

The increase of $4,749 in cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is mainly a result of impairments and write-downs of inventory in Pennsylvania of $7,422 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as well as increased yields in New Jersey, improved utilization in Maryland, lower costs in Pennsylvania as a result of scaling back the cultivation facility, and reduced discounting combined with improved verticalization in Michigan.

The increase in G&A expense of $5,752 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily a result of an increase in salaries and wages due to the addition of workforce in Maryland for the four retail acquisitions which occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 combined with a full year of adult use sales in New Jersey. The Company continues to advance its plan to optimize administrative expenses to strengthen its position in order to generate positive cashflow from operations.

The warrant liability was remeasured to fair value at September 30, 2023 using the Black-Scholes model. The Company recognized a loss of $2,564 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of the rising share price from December 31, 2022, as compared to September 30, 2023.

The Preferred Share warrant liability expired during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The purchase option derivative asset related to the option to purchase an additional 6.25% ownership of the Company's New Jersey partnership also expired during nine months ended September 30, 2023.

The warrant liability was remeasured to fair value at September 30, 2022 using the Black-Scholes model. The Company recognized a gain during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of the reduction of the Company's share price from December 31, 2021 as compared to September 30, 2022, as well as from warrants exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The combined impact resulted in a gain on fair value of warrants of $59,373. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the purchase option derivative asset related to the option to purchase an additional 6.25% of ownership of the Company's New Jersey partnership, were remeasured using the Monte Carlo simulation model and resulted in a loss of $818.

The calculation of working capital provides additional information and is not defined under GAAP. TerrAscend 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.

 

Liquidity and going concern

 

At September 30, 2023, TerrAscend had an accumulated deficit of $662,075. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, TerrAscend incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $8,439 and $40,472, respectively. Additionally, as of September 30, 2023 the Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets. Therefore, it is possible that the Company may need additional capital to continue to fund its operations.

 

The aforementioned indicators raise substantial doubt about TerrAscend's ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The Company believes this concern is mitigated by steps to improve its operations and cash position, including: (i) identifying access to future capital required to meet the Company’s on-going obligations, (ii) improved cashflow growth from TerrAscend's consolidated operations, particularly in New Jersey and most recently Maryland with conversion to adult use sales, and (iii) various cost and efficiency improvements.

 

Since its inception, TerrAscend's primary sources of capital have been through the issuance of equity securities or debt facilities, and TerrAscend has received aggregate net proceeds from such transactions totaling $654,250 as of September 30, 2023.

 

37


 

TerrAscend expects to fund any additional future requirements through the following sources of capital:

cash from ongoing operations.
market offerings.
additional debt from additional creditors.
sale of real property.
sale leaseback transactions.
exercise of options and warrants.

Capital requirements

The Company has $208,874 in principal amounts of loans payable at September 30, 2023. Of this amount, $18,448 are due within the next twelve months.

TerrAscend has entered into leases for certain premises and offices for which it owes monthly lease payments. TerrAscend has $99,003 in lease obligations. Of this amount, $9,948 are due in the next twelve months. Additionally, TerrAscend makes monthly payments on financing obligations on one of its real estate properties with $971 payable, $181 of which is due in the next twelve months.

TerrAscend's undiscounted contingent consideration payable is $6,446 at September 30, 2023. The contingent consideration payable relates to TerrAscend's business acquisitions of the Apothecarium, State Flower, and Peninsula. Those payments are due in the next twelve months, with the exception of Peninsula.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, TerrAscend expensed $7,500 related to amounts payable to an entity controlled by the minority shareholders of TerrAscend NJ pursuant to services surrounding the granting of certain licenses. The final payment of $3,750 was made in July 2023.

 

At September 30, 2023, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $51,032 and corporate income taxes payable of $58,707.

 

TerrAscend does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on TerrAscend's results of operations or financial condition, including and without limitation, such consideration as liquidity and capital resources.

 

TerrAscend intends to meet its capital commitments through any or all of the sources of capital noted above. TerrAscend's objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure it has sufficient cash resources to maintain its ongoing operations and finance future obligations.

 

Debt facilities

 

Ilera Term Loan

 

On December 18, 2020, WDB Holding PA, a subsidiary of TerrAscend, entered into a senior secured term loan with a syndicate of lenders in the amount of $120,000 ("Ilera Term Loan"). The term loan bears interest at 12.875% per annum and matures on December 17, 2024. TerrAscend has the ability to increase the facility by up to $30,000. WDB Holding PA's obligation under the Ilera Term Loan and related transaction documents are guaranteed by TerrAscend, TerrAscend USA, Inc., and certain subsidiaries of WDB Holding PA, and secured by TerrAscend USA Inc.'s equity interest in WDB Holding PA and substantially all of the assets of WDB Holding PA and the subsidiary guarantors party thereto. The loan can be refinanced at the option of the borrower after 18 months from the closing date subject to a premium payment due. Of the total proceeds received, $105,767 was used to satisfy the remaining Ilera earn-out payments.

 

On April 28, 2022, the Ilera Term Loan was amended to provide WDB Holding PA with greater flexibility by resetting the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio levels that must be satisfied at the end of each measurement period and extending the date in which WDB Holding PA is required to deliver its budget for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. In addition, the no-call period was extended from 18 months to 30 months, subject to a premium payment. This modification was not considered extinguishment of debt under ASC 470 Debt.

 

On November 11, 2022, WDB Holding PA, TerrAscend, TerrAscend USA Inc. and the subsidiary guarantors party to the Ilera Term Loan and the PA Agent (on behalf of the required lenders) entered into an amendment to the PA Credit Agreement, pursuant to which PA Agent and the required lenders agreed that WDB Holding PA's obligation to maintain the consolidated interest coverage ratio as set

38


 

forth in the PA Credit Agreement for the period ended September 30, 2022, shall not apply, subject to certain conditions, including (but not limited to) an obligation to enter into a subsequent amendment agreement on or before December 15, 2022, documenting certain enhancements and amendments to the PA Credit Agreement to be agreed. In addition, WDB Holding PA offered a prepayment of $5,000 pro rata to all lenders holding outstanding loans thereunder at a price equal to 103.22% of the principal amount prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

 

On December 21, 2022, WDB Holding PA completed an amendment to reduce TerrAscend's principal debt by $35,000 and annual interest expense by $5,000. TerrAscend agreed to make a $35,000 payment at the original prepayment price of 103.22% to par, and agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to add certain collateral to Ilera Term Loan, collectively by March 15, 2023. The amendment further provided that should WDB Holding PA not maintain the prescribed interest coverage ratio, the Company shall be required to deposit funds, as outlined in the amendment, into a restricted account, and no event of default shall occur. This amendment was not considered extinguishment of debt under ASC 470 Debt.

 

On March 15, 2023, WDB Holding PA, in exchange for a fee in the amount of 1% of the then outstanding principal loan balance, agreed to an amendment among other things, to (i) extend the obligation date to prepay TerrAscend's debt from March 15, 2023 to June 30, 2023 in which WDB Holding PA must use commercially reasonable efforts to add additional collateral to the Ilera Term Loan, (ii) increase the amount of debt to be reduced by up to $37,000, subject to certain reductions in amount based on meeting certain time based milestones, at a prepayment price of 103.22% to par, and (iii) extend the next test date in respect of the interest coverage ratio until June 30, 2023. This amendment was not considered extinguishment of debt under ASC 470 Debt.

 

On April 14, 2023, WDB Holding PA agreed to an amendment to the Ilera Term Loan to, among other things, to (i) permit changes necessary for the TSX Transaction (as defined therein), and (ii) to waive certain tax provisions.

 

On June 8, June 15, and June 29, 2023, WBD Holding PA made repayments of principal in the amounts of $7,896, $442, and $28,236, respectively.

On June 22, 2023, WDB Holding PA further agreed to an amendment among other things, to (i) extend the next test date for the interest coverage ratio from June 30, 2023 to September 30, 2023, and (ii) amend the terms for which WDB Holding PA may incur certain indebtedness and liens. There is $78,427 of principal amounts outstanding at September 30, 2023.

On October 2, 2023, TerrAscend completed a prepayment of the Ilera Term Loan of $1,500 at the original prepayment price of 103.22% to par.

Gage Loans

 

The Gage Acquisition included a senior secured term loan (the "Original Gage Term Loan") with an acquisition date fair value of $53,857. The credit agreement bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Prime Rate plus 7% or (ii) 10.25%. The term loan is payable monthly and matures on November 30, 2022. The term loan is secured by a first lien on all Gage assets.

 

On August 10, 2022, the Original Gage Term Loan was amended as a result of the corporate restructure in conjunction with the Gage Acquisition. The amendment to the Original Gage Term Loan includes the addition of a borrower and guarantor under the term loan and a right of first offer in favor of the administrative agent for a refinancing of the term loan. This amendment was not considered extinguishment of debt under ASC 470 Debt.

 

On November 29, 2022, TerrAscend Growth Corp. repaid $30,000 outstanding principal amount on the Original Gage Term Loan. On November 30, 2022, the remaining loan principal amount of $25,000 on the Original Gage Term Loan was amended (the "Amended Gage Term Loan"). The Amended Gage Term Loan bears interest on $25,000 at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the U.S. "prime rate" plus 6.00%, and (ii) 13.0% and matures on November 1, 2024. Commencing on May 31, 2023, TerrAscend Growth Corp will make monthly principal repayments of 0.40% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding. Additionally, the unpaid principal amount of the loan shall bear paid in kind interest at a rate of 1.50% per annum. No prepayment fees are owed if TerrAscend Growth Corp voluntarily prepays the loan after 18 months. If such prepayment occurs prior to 18 months, a prepayment fee equal to all of the interest on the loans that would be due after the date of such prepayment, is owed. Under the Amended Gage Term Loan, TerrAscend has the ability to borrow incremental term loans of $30,000 at the option of TerrAscend and subject to consents from the required lenders. The additional $30,000 incremental term loans available under the amendment have not been drawn as of December 31, 2022. This loan represents a loan syndication, and therefore TerrAscend assessed each of the lenders separately under ASC 470 Debt to determine if this represents a modification, or an extinguishment of debt. For three of the four remaining lenders, it was determined that this was a modification. For the remaining lender, it was determined that this represented an extinguishment of debt and therefore the fees paid to the lenders on modification were expensed. As a result of this transaction, TerrAscend expensed $1,907 of fees paid to the lenders and third parties as they did not meet the criteria for capitalization under ASC 470 Debt.

39


 

 

Additionally, the Gage Acquisition included a loan payable to a former owner of a licensed entity with an acquisition date fair value of $2,683, and a promissory note with an acquisition date fair value of $4,065. The loan payable to the former owner bears interest at a rate of 0.2%. The promissory note bears interest at a rate of 6%. There is $2,979 of principal amounts outstanding at September 30, 2023 on the loan payable and promissory note.

 

On June 9, 2023, TerrAscend Growth Corp. agreed to an amendment among other things, to (i) permit changes necessary for the TSX Transaction (as defined therein) and (ii) to permit certain indebtedness and waive certain tax provisions.

 

This amendment was not considered extinguishment of debt under ASC 470 Debt.

 

Pinnacle Loans

 

The Pinnacle Acquisition purchase price included two promissory notes in an aggregate amount of $10,000 to pay down all Pinnacle liabilities and encumbrances. The promissory note matures on June 30, 2023 and bears interest rates of 6%. On June 27, 2023, Spartan Partners Properties, LLC, agreed to an amendment among other things, to extend the obligation date of the loan until December 1, 2023. There is $5,582 of principal amounts outstanding at September 30, 2023 on the two promissory notes.

 

Pelorus Term Loan

 

On October 11, 2022, subsidiaries of TerrAscend, among others, entered into a loan agreement with Pelorus Fund REIT, LLC ("Pelorus") for a single-draw senior secured term loan ("Pelorus Term Loan") in an aggregate principal amount of $45,478. The Pelorus Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate tied to the one month secured overnight financing rate (SOFR), subject to a base rate, plus 9.5%, with interest-only payments for the first 36 months. The base rate is defined as, on any day, the greatest of (i) 2.5%, (b) the effective federal funds rate in effect on such day plus 0.5%, and (c) one month SOFR in effect on such day. The obligations of the borrowers under the Pelorus Term Loan are guaranteed by TerrAscend, TerrAscend USA Inc. and certain other subsidiaries of TerrAscend and secured by all of the assets of TerrAscend's Maryland and New Jersey businesses, including certain real estate in Maryland and New Jersey, but excludes all MD dispensaries. The Pelorus Term Loan matures on October 11, 2027. There is $45,478 of principal amounts outstanding at September 30, 2023.

 

On April 17, 2023, TerrAscend NJ, LLC agreed to an amendment among other things, to (i) permit changes necessary for the TSX Transaction (as defined therein), and (ii) to waive certain tax provisions. On June 22, 2023, TerrAscend NJ, LLC further agreed to an amendment to permit certain indebtedness.

This amendment was not considered extinguishment of debt under ASC 470 Debt.

Stearns Loan

On June 26, 2023, the Company closed on a $25,000 commercial loan with Stearns Bank, secured by the Company's cultivation facility in Pennsylvania and its AMMD dispensary in Cumberland, Maryland. The Company was required to hold $5,000 on deposit in a restricted account, of which $2,500 of the restricted cash was released on July 28, 2023 upon meeting certain criteria pursuant to the terms of the Stearns Loan. The loan carries an interest rate of prime plus 2.25% and matures in December 2024. The proceeds from the loan were used to pay down the Company's higher interest rate debt, thereby lowering the Company's overall interest expense. There is $24,913 of principal amounts outstanding at September 30, 2023.

Maryland Acquisition Loans

 

On June 28, 2023, related to the acquisition of Peninsula, the Company assumed existing indebtedness in the form of a promissory note in the amount of $7,698, which matures on June 28, 2025.

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to loan principal paid of $46,029 and distributions to minority partners of $6,966 and offset by the cash inflow of transfer with recourse of Employee Retention Credit of $12,677, net proceeds from the commercial loan with Stearns bank of $23,869, and net proceeds from private placements of $21,260.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, ws primarily due to the exercise of warrants for total proceeds of $23,797 and stock options for total gross proceeds of $361. The cash provided by financing activities was partially offset by payments of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of State Flower of $6,630, loan principal payments of $6,088, loan amendment fees paid on the modification of the Ilera term loan and the Gage senior secured term loan of $2,309, tax distributions paid on behalf of the partners of the New Jersey operations of $1,436, and distributions to non-controlling interests of $1,237.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to reporting the financial results in accordance with GAAP, TerrAscend 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. TerrAscend believes that certain investors and analysts use these metrics to measure a company’s ability to meet other payment obligations or as a common measurement to value companies in the cannabis industry, and TerrAscend calculates (i) Adjusted gross profit as gross profit from continuing operations adjusted for certain material non-cash items, and (ii) Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as EBITDA from continuing operations adjusted for certain material non-cash items and certain other adjustments which 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.

 

TerrAscend believes Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a useful performance measure to assess the performance of TerrAscend as it provides more meaningful ongoing operating results by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of TerrAscend’s underlying business performance and other one-time or non-recurring expenses.

a)
EBITDA from continuing operations is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as earnings from continuing operations before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.
b)
In connection with TerrAscend'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 TerrAscend 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.

43


 

c)
Represents inventory write downs outside of the normal course of operations. These inventory write-downs were related to the write down of aged inventory to lower of cost or market which was related to the Company's operational reconfiguration of its cultivation facility in Pennsylvania.
d)
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 $nil and $1,040 and write-downs of inventory of $nil and $1,925 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively
e)
Represents non-cash share-based compensation expense.
f)
Represents impairment charges taken on the Company's intangible assets and goodwill.
g)
Represents the revaluation of TerrAscend’s contingent consideration liabilities.
h)
Includes one-time fees incurred in connection with TerrAscend’s acquisitions, such as expenses related to professional fees, consulting, legal, settlements, and accounting, that would otherwise not have been incurred. In addition, includes one-time charges for Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2022 implementation. These fees are not indicative of TerrAscend’s ongoing costs.
i)
Represents expenses associated with ERC transfer of assets with recourse.
j)
Represents loss taken as a result on the derecognition of right of use assets.
k)
Represents the (gain) loss on fair value of warrants, including effects of the foreign exchange of the U.S. denominated preferred share warrants, as well as the revaluation of the fair value of the purchase option derivative asset.
l)
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.
m)
Represents impairment charges taken on TerrAscend's property and equipment, as well as write-downs of property and equipment.
n)
Represents (gain) loss taken on write-down of property and equipment.
o)
Represents unrealized and realized (gain) loss on fair value changes on strategic investments.
p)
Represents the remeasurement of USD denominated cash and other assets recorded in CAD functional currency.
q)
Represents other one-time adjustments to gross profit that are not indicative of ongoing costs.

 

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to implementation of adult use sales in New Jersey and Maryland along with the reduction of general and administrative expenses.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires 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 estimates from the information provided in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation," other than the significant judgment relating to variable interest entities.

 

Variable interest entities

 

Management has applied significant judgment on the decision to consolidate its variable interest entity (“VIE”), TerrAscend Growth Corp.. The Company consolidates VIE when it has a variable interest that provide it with (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (power) and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE (benefits). Key areas of judgment related to the assessment of the purpose and design of the VIE, the protection agreement in place, the board structure of TerrAscend Growth Corp., and substantive kick-out rights of the Class A shareholders.

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 its initial public offering, (b) in which the Company has total annual gross revenue of $1,235,000 or more, or (c) in which the Company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of the Company's Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700,000 as of the last business day of the Company's most recent second fiscal quarter; and (ii) the date on which the Company has issued more than $1,000,000 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, 2022.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's 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, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, the Company's 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 the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer 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 the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the Company's 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.

 

In the ordinary course of business, TerrAscend is involved in a number of lawsuits incidental to its business, including litigation related to intellectual property, 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 TerrAscend's consolidated balance sheets or results of operations. At September 30, 2023, there were no pending lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of TerrAscend's consolidated financial statements.

45


 

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Investing in the Company's common shares involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors described in Part I, Item 1.A. “Risk Factors” in the Company's Annual Report. The Company may disclose changes to risk factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in its future filings with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems immaterial may impair its business operations.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On August 2, 2023, TerrAscend closed a private placement of approximately 250,000 senior unsecured convertible debentures at a price of $1,000 per debenture for total gross proceeds of approximately $250,000. Unless repaid or converted earlier, the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the debentures will be due and payable 36 months following the closing of the debenture offering (the “Maturity Date”). Each debenture will bear interest at a rate of 9.9% per annum from the date of issuance, calculated and compounded semi-annually, and payable on the Maturity Date. Each holder may, at the option of the holder upon signing of the subscription agreement, elect to receive up to 4.95% per annum of such interest payable in cash on a semi-annual basis. Each debenture will be convertible into common shares, at the option of the holder, at any time or times prior to the close of business on the last business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, at a conversion price of $2.01. Holders converting their debentures will receive accrued and unpaid interest for the period from and including the date of the last interest payment date, to and including, the date of conversion. In connection with the terms of this debenture offering, TerrAscend agreed to make certain cash commission payments equal to an average rate of approximately 1% of the gross proceeds received by it based on the source of funds.

 

The securities issued in the private placement described above were offered and sold in reliance upon (i) the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof and (ii) exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61–101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61–101 in respect of the Insider Participation as the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the Insider Participation in the private placement is below 25% of TerrAscend’s market capitalization (as determined in accordance with MI 61-101).
