DISCLOSURES REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States (“U.S.”) securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to expectations, projections, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, and our objectives, goals, strategies, beliefs, intentions, plans, estimates, projections and outlook, including statements relating to our plans and objectives, or estimates or predictions of actions of customers, suppliers, competitors or regulatory authorities. These statements are subject to certain risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements. The words “believe”, “plan”, “intend”, “estimate”, “expect”, “likely”, “potential”, “proposed,” “scheduled,” “forecast” or “anticipate”, and similar expressions, as well as future or conditional verbs such as “will”, “should”, “would,” “may”, “might” and “could” identify forward-looking statements.

Management of the Company has based the forward-looking statements on its current views with respect to future events and financial performance and has made assumptions and applied certain factors regarding, among other things: future product pricing; costs of inputs; the Company’s ability to successfully market its products to its anticipated clients; the Company’s reliance on its key personnel; certain regulatory requirements; the application of federal and state environmental laws; the impact of increasing competition; the ability to obtain additional financing on favorable terms; the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals; and the regulatory environments in which the Company operates. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. The Company’s forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. 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.

By its nature, forward-looking information is subject to risks and uncertainties, and there are a variety of risk factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, and that may cause actual outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the status of cannabis as a controlled substance under the U.S. Federal Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”); risks related to the enforcement activities by the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”); risks related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; reputational risk to third parties; risks associated with banking, financial transactions and anti-money laundering laws and regulations; risks related to federal and state forfeiture laws; the risk of heightened scrutiny by regulatory authorities; risks related to the potential negative impact of regulatory scrutiny on raising capital; risks related to regulatory or political change; risks due to industry immaturity or limited comparable, competitive or established industry best practices; risks related to the uncertainty surrounding existing protection from U.S. federal prosecution relating to cannabis laws; risks related to uncertainty with respect to geo-political disruptions; risks related to regulatory changes in relation to vaporization devices and subsequent impacts to interstate commerce, registrations and revenue reporting requirements, and potential excise tax applicability; risks relating to tax status; risks associated with the Company’s business model; risks related to the transition of the Company’s leadership; risks related to the Company’s dependency on skilled labor, equipment, parts, components and key inputs; risks related to the reliance on third party suppliers; risks related to adverse economic conditions, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and increasing interest rates; the uncertainty of the impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on the Company and on the operations of the Company; risks that the Company’s actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the expectations of the Company’s management; risks related to the costs and obligations relating to the Company’s investment in infrastructure, growth, regulatory compliance and operations; risks related to the Company’s

dependency on regulatory approvals and licenses to conduct its business; risks related to the potential for changes in laws, regulations and guidelines which could adversely affect the Company’s future business; risks related to a failure on the part of the Company to comply with applicable regulations; risks related to the legal, regulatory and scientific status of cannabis; risks related to the Company’s ability to find suitable candidates and capital necessary to complete strategic alliances or partnerships; risks related to the Company’s ability to successfully identify and execute future acquisitions or dispositions; risks related to indebtedness and the Company’s ability to extend, refinance or repay such indebtedness; risks related to the Company’s ability to develop its products; risks related to the Company’s ability to achieve successful cultivation; risks related to adverse environmental conditions, accidents and labor disputes; risks related to the Company’s ability to turn a profit or generate immediate revenues; risks related to limitations on the permissible ownership of licenses; risks related to constraints on marketing the Company’s products under varying state laws; risks related to the potential results of future clinical research; risks related to the Company’s ability to effectively manage its growth and operations; risks related to the regulation of medical cannabis by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”); risks related to the differing local rules and regulations and the impact this may have on the Company’s ability to expand into new markets; risks related to the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights and allegations that the Company is in violation of intellectual property rights of third parties; risks relating to access to banking; risks relating to disclosure of personal information to government or regulatory entities; risks related to potential requirement to disclose personal identifying information to government or regulatory entities; risk that the Company may be forced to litigate or defend its intellectual property rights, or to defend against claims by third parties against the Company relating to intellectual property rights; risks related to data privacy laws, rules and regulations; risks relating to fraudulent activity by employees, contractors and consultants, risks regarding the enforceability of contracts; risk of litigation generally; risks relating to increasing competition in the industry; risks relating to the Company’s ability to secure adequate or reliable sources of funding; risks relating to product recalls; risks relating to reliance on technology systems that may be subject to cyber-attacks or security breaches; risks that the Company’s officers and directors may be engaged in a range of business activities resulting in conflicts of interest; risks that the Company’s officers, directors and other parties may exert significant influence on the Company; risks relating to the Company’s inability to successfully implement adequate internal controls over financial reporting; risks relating to restrictions on entry to the U.S. for the Company’s Canadian individuals; risks relating to consumer perception; risks relating to the potential that bond requirements and insurance premiums may be economically prohibitive; risks relating to global economic and political instability and conflicts, such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine; the risk that the Company’s web presence’s visibility is not limited by geography; risks relating to volatility in the market price of the Company’s securities; risks related to price volatility of publicly traded securities; risks related to dilution of the Company’s securities; risks related to the Company’s securities being currently quoted on the OTCQX; and other factors beyond our control, as more particularly described under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”) and on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (“SEDAR”) at www.sedar.com.

Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all factors and assumptions which may have been used. Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such forward-looking information and statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information and statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information and statements. The forward-looking information and statements contained herein are presented for the purposes of assisting readers in understanding our expected financial and operating performance and our plans and objectives and may not be appropriate for other purposes.

The forward-looking information and statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represent our views and expectations as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update such forward-looking information and statements at a future time, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law.

1. Nature and Continuance of Operations

TILT Holdings Inc. (“TILT” or the “Company”) is a business solutions provider to the global cannabis industry offering a diverse range of value-added products and services to industry participants. Through a portfolio of companies providing technology, hardware, cultivation and production, TILT services brands and cannabis retailers in regulated markets across 39 states in the United States (“U.S.”), as well as Canada, Israel, Mexico, South America, and the European Union.

TILT was incorporated under the laws of Nevada pursuant to NRS Chapter 78 on June 22, 2018. The Company was continued under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) pursuant to a Certificate of Continuance dated November 14, 2018. The Company is a reporting issuer in Canada in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario and its common shares are listed for trading on the Cboe Canada formerly known as the NEO Exchange under the symbol “TILT.” In addition, the common shares are quoted on the OTCQX in the U.S. under the symbol “TLLTF.” The Company’s head office is in Phoenix, Arizona and its registered office is located at 745 Thurlow Street, #2400 Vancouver, BC V6C 0C5 Canada.

Going Concern

The Company has experienced operating losses since its inception and may continue to incur losses in the development of its business. The Company incurred a comprehensive loss of $31,775 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and has an accumulated deficit of $995,473 as of June 30, 2023. Additionally, as of June 30, 2023, the Company had positive working capital of $5,597 (compared to negative working capital of $39,570 as of December 31, 2022).

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company (i) completed the Pennsylvania Transaction (as defined below), (ii) refinanced the 2019 Junior Notes (as defined below), (iii) extended the maturity date of and increased the amount available under the Revolving Facility (as defined below) and (iv) obtained additional funds through the 2023 Bridge Notes (as defined below).

On February 15, 2023, the Company completed its previously announced sale-leaseback transaction with Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (“IIP”) pertaining to its White Haven, Pennsylvania facility (“White Haven Facility”) for $15,000 with net proceeds used towards repayment of debt and working capital (the “Pennsylvania Transaction”).

On February 15, 2023, the Company entered into the NPA Amendment (as defined below) relating to the refinancing of the 2019 Junior Notes (as defined below) and issued the 2023 Refinanced Notes (as defined below) and the 2023 New Notes (as defined below). See Note 11 — Notes Payable for defined terms and more information. On February 15, 2023, the Company repaid the remaining balance of the senior secured promissory notes issued on November 1, 2019 (the “2019 Senior Notes”), retiring the remainder of its 2019 senior debt facility previously extended to February 28, 2023, with no further obligations.

On March 13, 2023, the Company, through its subsidiary Jupiter Research LLC (“Jupiter”), entered into an amendment to its existing $10,000 asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) to increase the amount available under the Revolving Facility to $12,500 and extend the maturity date to July 21, 2024. Additionally, borrowings under the Revolving Facility will bear interest at the prime rate plus 3%, and is secured by Jupiter’s inventory, accounts receivable and related property. The amendment also includes a guaranty by the Company in the amount of $6,000.

On May 15, 2023, the Company and its subsidiaries issued senior secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $4,500 (the “2023 Bridge Notes”). The 2023 Bridge Notes provided gross cash proceeds of $4,000 with an original issue discount of $500 and require monthly payments of $750 starting July 1, 2023. The 2023 Bridge Notes bear interest at the greater of 16% or the prime rate plus 8.5%, payable monthly, with a maturity date of December 1, 2023.

The Company’s operating plans for the next 12 months include (i) increasing revenue growth from the sale of existing products and the introduction of new products across all operating segments; (ii) reducing production and operational costs as a result of efficiencies in cannabis operations; (iii) reducing supply chain costs; (iv) reducing and delaying overhead and other certain expenditures; and (v) obtaining other financings as necessary.

The Company believes that these actions will help to mitigate any substantial doubt raised by our historical operating results and satisfy our estimated liquidity needs for the 12 months following the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. However, during the second quarter of 2023, a primary supplier significantly changed the payment terms of the Company’s trade payable. This was an unexpected event impacting short-term liquidity, therefore, the Company secured additional financing through the 2023 Bridge Notes to satisfy the transition of the new payment terms and provide working capital for the business. However, the issuance of the 2023 Bridge Notes caused the Company to have to obtain a waiver of the financial covenant defaults expected to occur for the 2023 Refinanced Notes (defined below) and 2023 New Notes (defined below). As a result of the waiver, the Company had to pay default interest rates on its 2023 Refinanced Notes and 2023 New Notes, which resulted in an increase from 16.5% as of March 31, 2023 to 24.75% as of June 30, 2023. See Note 11 — Notes Payable for additional information.

As a result of this and other factors, the Company cannot predict with certainty the outcome of its actions to generate liquidity as discussed above, including the availability of additional financing as necessary, or whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity as currently planned. Therefore, management has concluded there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months after the date of this filing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. See Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors for further details.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Global Conflicts

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic. The Company continues to implement and evaluate actions to strengthen its financial position and support the continuity of its business and operations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical conflicts, including the recent war in Ukraine, created much uncertainty in the global marketplace. There are many uncertainties regarding these events, and the Company is closely monitoring the ongoing impact on all aspects of its business, including how it will impact its services, customers, employees, vendors, and business partners now and in the future. While the COVID-19 pandemic and recent geopolitical conflicts did not materially adversely affect the Company’s financial results and business operations in the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company is unable to predict the impact that these events will have on its future financial position and operating results due to numerous uncertainties.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with (i) United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q and (iii) Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of our management, our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and accompanying notes (the “Financial Statements”) include all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for the fair statement of the interim periods presented. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year, or any other period. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements (and notes thereto) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”), as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2023 and with the relevant Canadian securities regulatory authorities under our profile on SEDAR. Except as noted below, there have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included

Table of Contents

in the annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules and regulations.

The financial data included in the Financial Statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, statements of stockholder’s equity, and cash flows of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current year ending December 31, 2023.

Principles of Consolidation

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as the accounts of any entities over which the Company has a controlling financial interest in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 Consolidation. All transactions and balances between these entities have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the Company's prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reclassified $4,741 of the Massachusetts Lease Liability (as defined in Note 11 — Massachusetts Lease Liability) previously included in current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 into the Massachusetts lease liability in noncurrent liabilities. See Note 11 — Massachusetts Lease Liability for additional information.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reclassified $516 of inventory valuation adjustments previously included in inventories under net change in working capital adjustments on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as of June 30, 2022 into inventory adjustments. See Note 4 — Inventories for additional information.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these Financial Statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Restricted Cash

The Company had $1,298 in restricted cash as of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Included in restricted cash was a certificate of deposit related to Jupiter customs bonds totaling $1,252 as of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Estimated Useful Lives and Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment 

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is dependent upon estimates of useful lives which are determined through the exercise of judgment. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets. 

All dollar amounts expressed in thousands, except per share amounts

11

Table of Contents

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

Machinery and equipment

2 – 7 years

Furniture and fixtures

3 – 10 years

Autos and trucks

5 years

Buildings and land improvements

5 – 39 years

Leasehold improvements

Lesser of useful life of lease term

Greenhouse - agricultural structure

5 – 15 years

Land

Not depreciated

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed annually and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. Buildings, leaseholds and land improvements are amortized over the shorter of either the useful life or term of the lease. Gains or losses on disposal of an item are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the item and recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements, other than those below, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material effect on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2020-06 Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) — Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which is intended to simplify the recognition of convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, revises the derivatives scope exception, and makes targeted improvements to the related earnings per share guidance. ASU 2020-06 became effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) — Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. ASU 2021-04 clarifies whether an issuer should account for a modification or an exchange of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange as (1) an adjustment to equity and if so, the related earnings per share effects, if any, or (2) an expense, and if so, the manner and pattern of recognition. ASC 2021-04 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This guidance was effective upon issuance as of March 12, 2020 and may be adopted as reference rate reform activities occur through December 31, 2022. The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extends the cessation date of certain LIBOR from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s Financial Statements, as none of the Company's notes utilized LIBOR rates.

3. Fair Value Measurements

A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paying to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers all related factors of the asset by market participants in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy were as follows:

The HERBL Inc. (“HERBL”) investment is recorded at cost and excluded from the schedule above. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company noted declining conditions in its investment in HERBL and performed impairment testing. The Company concluded that the balance of its investment was not recoverable due to HERBL entering into receivership in June 2023 and recorded an impairment of $6,400 on its investment in HERBL, bringing the balance of its investment to zero. These losses are included in unrealized loss on investment on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The balance was $0 and $6,400 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The Big Toe Ventures LLC (“Big Toe”) balance included in investments was initially recorded at cost, but impairment was subsequently identified and the balance was adjusted to zero as an approximation of fair value using Level 3 inputs during the year ended December 31, 2022. The balance was zero as of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Warrants

There was no warrant liability as of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded losses of $3,913 and $1,750, respectively, on the change in fair value of its warrant liability. These losses are included in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of the Company’s notes payable approximates their fair value based upon market interest rates available to the Company for debt of similar risk and maturities, a Level 3 input. See Note 11 — Notes Payable for additional information. Additionally, the carrying amount of the Company’s loans receivable, net of related current expected credit losses, approximates their fair values. See Note 9 — Loans Receivable for additional information. The carrying amounts of all financial assets and liabilities, other than notes payable and loans receivables, approximate their fair values. There were no transfers between the levels of fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

Goodwill

No impairment triggers to goodwill were identified during the six months ended June 30, 2023. As a result of missed forecasts for Jupiter, the Company conducted additional testing of its goodwill related to Jupiter as of June 30, 2022. After this review, the Company determined that the carrying amount of the Jupiter reporting unit exceeded its estimated recoverable amount and recorded a $6,668 goodwill impairment charge for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The following table summarizes the goodwill activity for the six months ended June 30, 2022:

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized depreciation expense of $4,457 and $3,946, respectively. Depreciation expense is included in cost of goods sold and depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

On February 15, 2023, the Company completed the Pennsylvania Transaction and determined that control of the White Haven Facility transferred to the buyer, resulting in a sale of the White Haven Facility. The Company received cash proceeds of $15,000 and derecognized the property, plant and equipment with a net carrying value of $6,599, resulting in a gain on sale of assets of $8,401. See Note 13 — Leases for additional information.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company refocused its Massachusetts retail operations on core assets, reducing the operating capacity of its Commonwealth Alternative Care (“CAC”) Cambridge facility, which triggered an impairment analysis for the Cambridge assets. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $2,788 to bring the assets to a fair market value of zero as of June 30, 2023. These losses are included in impairment loss and loss on disposal of assets in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a gain on disposal of assets of $1. This gain, along with the gain on sale of assets related to the Pennsylvania Transaction, are included in gain on sale of assets in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

In connection with management’s ongoing multi-phase plans to produce high-quality flowers, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company replaced existing lights with new market-standard LED lights. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on disposal in the amount of $697, which represented the net carrying value of existing lights. This loss is included in impairment loss and loss on disposal of assets in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Assets Held for Sale

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, it was determined that the assets held for sale had a fair market value less costs to sell of zero. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $325 to bring these assets held for sale to fair market value less costs to sell. This loss is included in impairment loss and loss on disposal of assets in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company recorded the investment in HERBL and Big Toe in accordance with a measurement alternative due to the lack of readily determinable fair values. The measurement alternative allows the Company to record the investments at cost, less impairment, if any, and subsequently adjust for observable price changes of identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded unrealized losses of $49 and $94, respectively, from its investment in Akerna. This loss is included in unrealized loss on investment in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company intended to hold its investment in HERBL until HERBL executed its next equity financing. The Company had an arrangement with HERBL that, upon such equity financing, if the fair value of HERBL’s class B common shares was less than the initial cost, HERBL would issue additional shares to make up the difference. However, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company determined that it is not probable that HERBL will issue additional shares to bring the Company’s investment up to its initial cost due to HERBL entering into receivership in June 2023. Therefore, the Company recorded a loss of $6,400 on its investment in HERBL to adjust the balance to zero. This loss is included in unrealized loss on investment in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

There were no goodwill impairment losses recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company conducted additional impairment testing of its goodwill related to Jupiter to determine if the carrying value of the Jupiter reporting unit exceeded its fair value.

The recoverable amount for Jupiter was based on fair value, using an income approach. Where applicable, the Company uses its comparative market multiples to corroborate discounted cash flow results. The fair value measurement was categorized as a Level 3 based on the inputs used in the valuation technique. The key assumptions used included management’s projected future cash flows for a five-year period, a terminal value, growth rate, and discount rate based on the estimated weighted average cost of capital, which incorporates the risks specific to the reporting units.

 

The following table details the key assumptions used in determining the recoverable amount as of June 30, 2022:

Based on the test results for Jupiter, the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeded its estimated recoverable amount by $6,668 as of June 30, 2022. Consequently, an impairment loss was recorded for goodwill.

The Little Beach Harvest Note loan receivable balance is subject to an interest rate of 9.0%. Accrued interest receivable was $198 as of June 30, 2023 and is included in loans receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest income was $21 and $25 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and is included in interest income on the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive loss.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company determined that it may not be able to collect the full amount of its loan receivable from the Little Beach Harvest Note. As a result, the Company did not record any interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and reversed the interest income recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether loans receivables are credit impaired by applying the guidance in ASC 326. A financial asset is considered “credit impaired” when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Credit impairment is based on observable data such as significant financial difficulty of the debtor and a breach of contract such as a default or being past due. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded an additional $5,786 of allowance for expected credit losses due to revised collectability estimates.

Current expected credit loss (“CECL”) reserves are measured by the Company on a probability-weighted basis based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Our assessment includes a variety of factors, including underlying credit, relative maturity dates of the loans, economic considerations, as well as ongoing legal and other regulatory developments in the industry. The process includes consideration for the assumed recovery rate from underlying collateral, with adjustments for time value of money and estimated costs for obtaining and selling the collateral. Given the repayment profile and underlying terms of such loans, CECL reserves are generally estimated over the contractual term of the loan.

The following tables present an analysis of the credit quality of loans receivable, together with impairment losses recognized based on lifetime CECL reserves:

On February 15, 2023, the Company repaid the remaining balance of its 2019 Senior Notes, retiring the remainder of its 2019 senior debt facility previously extended to February 28, 2023, with no further obligations.

On November 1, 2019, the Company and its subsidiaries, Jimmy Jang, L.P. (“JJ LP”), Baker Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “Baker”), CAC, and Jupiter entered into the Junior Secured Note Purchase Agreement (the “2019 Junior Notes NPA”) relating to the issuance of junior secured promissory notes (the “2019 Junior Notes”). On February 15, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Company and its subsidiaries JJ LP, Baker, CAC, and Jupiter (collectively, the “Subsidiary Borrowers”) entered into a first amendment (the “NPA Amendment”) to the 2019 Junior Notes NPA (as amended by the NPA Amendment, the “2019 NPA”) with Jordan Geotas, as the noteholder representative (the “Noteholder Representative”) on behalf of the noteholders under the 2019 Junior Notes NPA (the “Holders”) and refinanced $38,000 in aggregate principal amount of secured promissory notes issued originally under the 2019 Junior Notes NPA (the “2023 Refinanced Notes”). As part of this refinancing, the Company repaid $9,088 in interest on the 2019 Junior Notes. This refinancing was accounted for as a debt modification, and neither the Company nor the Subsidiary Borrowers received any new proceeds from the Holders as a result of the NPA Amendment.

The 2023 Refinanced Notes mature on February 15, 2026, 36 months from the Effective Date, and bear interest at the greater of 16% or the prime rate plus 8.5% payable monthly, subject to the Waiver described below. The interest rate is subject to increase by 1% annually if the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 2023 Refinanced Notes is greater than $30,000 on the first anniversary of the Effective Date or greater than $22,000 on the second anniversary of the Effective Date. The Subsidiary Borrowers are obligated to pay an aggregate of $5,000 of principal on the 2023 Refinanced Notes on each anniversary of the Effective Date of the 2023 Refinanced Notes, as well as an annual payment at the beginning of each calendar year the 2023 Refinanced Notes are outstanding that is equal to 50% of the Company’s unrestricted cash greater than $10,000 at the end of the prior calendar year. The Subsidiary Borrowers are also obligated to make mandatory prepayments of net cash proceeds from asset sales, casualty and condemnation awards, future equity or debt issuances and the settlement of certain third-party assets.

As part of the 2023 Refinanced Notes, the Company recognized a debt discount of $7,755. Included in this amount was $5,106 related to the fair value of the Debt Modification Warrants (as defined below), a $2,000 fee payable to the Noteholder Representative, and $649 of debt issuance costs. The debt discount balance net of amortization was $7,351 as of June 30, 2023.

Pursuant to the NPA Amendment, the Subsidiary Borrowers also issued by way of private placement secured promissory notes (“2023 New Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $8,260 to the Holders with a maturity date of February 15, 2027, 48 months from the Effective Date. The 2023 New Notes bear interest at the greater of 16% or the prime rate plus 8.5% payable quarterly subject to the Waiver discussed below. The Company is not required to make principal payments on the 2023 New Notes before their maturity date and until the 2023 Refinanced Notes are paid in full. Once the 2023 Refinanced Notes are paid in full, the Subsidiary Borrowers’ obligations to make principal payments will be the same as previously existed under the 2023 Refinanced Notes as described above. The 2023 New Notes were originally included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2022.

No principal payments will be due on the 2023 New Notes before their maturity date unless and until the 2023 Refinanced Notes are paid in full. Once the 2023 Refinanced Notes are paid in full, the Subsidiary Borrowers’ obligations to make principal payments will be the same as previously existed under the 2023 Refinanced Notes and described above. Any interest or principal payments under the 2023 New Notes due before the maturity date of the 2023 Refinanced Notes may, at the Subsidiary Borrowers’ election, be paid by increasing the principal amount of the 2023 New Notes on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

The 2023 Refinanced Notes and the 2023 New Notes (collectively, the “2023 Notes”) are secured by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of the Subsidiary Borrowers, except that the Holders will receive a second priority security interest in the assets that are already pledged by Jupiter under the Revolving Facility. The 2023 Notes are also guaranteed by the Company and all subsidiaries of the Company. The equity interests in all subsidiaries of the Company have also been pledged as security for the obligations under the 2023 Refinanced Notes.

The NPA Amendment includes affirmative and negative covenants (including financial maintenance covenants), events of default, representations and warranties that are customary for debt securities of this type. As of June 30, 2023, the Noteholder Representative granted the Waiver, as described below, for certain financial covenant defaults expected to occur through December 8, 2023. The 2023 Notes may be accelerated and all remedies may be exercised by the Holders in case of an event of default under the 2023 Notes, which includes events that customarily constitute an event of default for debt securities of this type as well as upon a change of control.

In connection with the NPA Amendment, the Company also issued to each Holder a warrant (each a “Debt Modification Warrant,” collectively the “Debt Modification Warrants”) to purchase 2,421.05 common shares of the Company for every $1 principal amount of the 2023 Refinanced Notes held by each Holder, for a total aggregate of 91,999,901 Debt Modification Warrants. See Note 14 — Shareholders' Equity for additional information.

On May 15, 2023, the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers entered into a Secured Note Purchase Agreement, with the Noteholder Representative on behalf of the purchasers named therein (the “Bridge Notes NPA”). Pursuant to the Bridge Notes NPA, Subsidiary Borrowers issued the 2023 Bridge Notes which provided gross cash proceeds of $4,000 and an original issue discount of $500 to the holders with a maturity date of December 1, 2023. The 2023 Bridge Notes bear interest at the greater of 16% or the prime rate plus 8.5% payable monthly.

The 2023 Bridge Notes are secured by a security interest in all of the assets of the Subsidiary Borrowers. This security interest is subordinate to the security interest in certain assets that were pledged by Jupiter to secure a revolving credit facility. In addition, payments received by the Noteholder Representative, whether under the Bridge Notes NPA or the 2019 NPA, shall be applied to repay the 2023 Bridge Notes whether such payments are as a result of the enforcement of remedies, dispositions, liquidations, or as a result of payments on claims filed in a case under the Bankruptcy Code or other similar proceedings. The 2023 Bridge Notes are also guaranteed by the Company and all subsidiaries of the Company. The equity interests in all subsidiaries of the Company have also been pledged as security for the obligations under the 2023 Bridge Notes.

The Bridge Notes NPA includes affirmative and negative covenants, events of default, representations and warranties that are customary for debt securities of this type. The 2023 Bridge Notes may be accelerated and all remedies may be exercised by the holders in case of an event of default under the 2023 Bridge Notes, which includes events that customarily constitute an event of default for debt securities of this type as well as upon a change of control, the termination of Tim Conder’s employment with the Company for any reason and the failure by the Company to appoint a replacement for Mr. Conder within 90 days that is approved to the Noteholder Representative or any default or event of default under the 2019 NPA.

Starting July 1, 2023, the Subsidiary Borrowers are obligated to pay $750 in amortization payments in addition to interest payments and a monthly payment at the beginning of each calendar month the 2023 Bridge Notes are outstanding that is equal to 50% of the Company’s unrestricted cash greater than $10,000 at the end of the prior calendar month. The Subsidiary Borrowers are also obligated to make mandatory prepayments of net cash proceeds from asset sales, casualty and condemnation awards, future equity or debt issuances and the settlement of certain third-party assets.

In connection with the Bridge Notes NPA, the Company entered into a Consent, Confirmation, Limited Waiver And Forbearance Agreement (the “Waiver”) and the Noteholder Representative under the 2019 NPA has waived the Subsidiary Borrowers’ payment obligations during a forbearance period ending on December 8, 2023 so long as the amounts otherwise due are applied under the Bridge Notes NPA, and has agreed to waive certain financial covenant defaults expected to occur during the forbearance period as a result of the Company and Subsidiary Borrowers entering into and performing their obligations under the Bridge Notes NPA. The promissory notes issued under the 2019 NPA will accrue interest at a default rate (prime rate plus 8.5%, with an additional 8% due to the default) and late fees at the rate of $40 per month will be incurred during this forbearance period. All interest payments not made when due during the forbearance period, interest at the default rate accrued thereon, and late fees incurred will be due and payable at the end of the forbearance period. As of June 30, 2023, the default interest rate of 24.75% was in effect for the 2023 Notes.

12. Massachusetts Lease Liability

On May 16, 2022, the Company, through its subsidiary CAC, completed the acquisition of a cultivation, processing and product manufacturing lab and medical and adult-use dispensary in Taunton, Massachusetts (the “Taunton Facility”) for $13,047 cash consideration pursuant to a purchase option included in the Company’s lease with the previous owner of the Taunton Facility. Concurrently with the acquisition, CAC sold the Taunton Facility to IIP for $40,000 cash consideration. The Company also entered into a long-term lease for the Taunton Facility with a term of 20 years and a maturity date of May 15, 2042, with two 5-year extensions exercisable at the Company’s discretion (the “Massachusetts Lease Liability”). The Massachusetts Lease Liability matures on May 15, 2042, with two five-year extension options. Lease payments are due monthly and are subject to an annual escalation of 2.5% after two years. CAC anticipates no disruption to its operations as a result of these transactions.

The cash proceeds from IIP were used to pay the Taunton Facility purchase price, $25,466 was remitted to an escrow account that was included in restricted cash and the remaining proceeds were used to pay transaction expenses.

The early lease termination and acquisition of the Taunton Facility resulted in derecognizing a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset balance of $3,940, and lease liability balance of $4,454; and recognizing land and building balances of $6,266 and $6,268, respectively. The transaction with IIP was accounted for as a failed sale and leaseback transaction, where the Company retained the Taunton Facility balances included in property, plant, and equipment, and recognized a note payable of $40,000.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company reclassified the portion of the Massachusetts Lease Liability previously included in current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 into the Massachusetts lease liability in noncurrent liabilities. This change was made due to a change in accounting principle made during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company was previously using an accounting alternative accepted under ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), as further described in the Company’s Form 10-K. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company determined that the interest expense on the Massachusetts Lease Liability exceeded the periodic rental payments, resulting in an accretion of the Massachusetts Lease Liability. The accretion will result in an increase in the lease liability in the next 12 months. Therefore, the change better quantifies both short-term and long-term balance sheet presentations due to no reduction of total lease liability over the next 12 months, and this approach is also acceptable under ASC 842.

The Company is treated as a U.S. corporation under Section 7874 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) and is expected to be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax. However, the Company is expected, regardless of any application of Section 7874 of the IRC, to be treated as a Canadian resident Company for Canadian income tax purposes. Due to the organizational structure and multinational operations, the Company is subject to taxation in U.S. federal, state and local and Canadian jurisdictions.

As the Company operates in the cannabis industry, it is subject to the limitations of Section 280E of the IRC. This results in permanent differences for ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E of the IRC for income tax purposes. Therefore, the effective tax rate can be highly variable and may not necessarily correlate with pre-tax income or loss.

For year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had a U.S. federal capital loss carryforward of approximately $31,971 and a U.S. state and local capital loss carryforward of approximately $18,968, which will expire in 2025 if unused. As of December 31, 2022, the capital loss carryforwards are not likely to be realized. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company completed the Pennsylvania Transaction which generated ordinary and capital gains of $8,401. See Note – 5 Property, Plant and Equipment for further details. The Company estimates that approximately $6,264 of the

gain from the sale will be offset by the net capital loss carryforward. Therefore, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized a release of the valuation allowance related to the capital loss carryforward and the corresponding benefit of the release.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company determined its investment in HERBL was not recoverable. As a result, the Company recorded a loss of $6,400 to its HERBL investment, adjusting the balance to zero. This loss was treated as a capital loss, which will more likely than not be realized. See Note 6 — Investments for additional information.

Litigation

The Company has been named as a defendant in several legal actions and is subject to various risks and contingencies arising in the normal course of business. Management is of the opinion that the outcome of these uncertainties will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

On February 2, 2021, the Haze Corp., Nevada (“Haze NV”) filed a complaint in Clark County, Nevada’s Eighth Judicial District Court against Brand Canna Growth Partners, Inc. (“BCGP”), Michael Orr, Santé Veritas Holdings, Inc. (“SVH”) and Santé Veritas Therapeutics Inc. (“SVT”). As explained below, Haze NV later amended its complaint to name a second plaintiff, the Haze Corp., Ontario (“Haze Ontario,” and together with Haze NV, the “Plaintiffs”). SVH and SVT are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. In the operative complaint, Plaintiffs allege that Haze Ontario entered into a Finder’s Fee Agreement with BCGP in 2017 and under that agreement Haze Ontario is owed payments for acquisitions that it facilitated. Plaintiffs further allege that Haze Ontario assigned its rights to payment under the Finder’s Fee Agreement to Haze NV. Plaintiffs allege that BCGP is influenced and governed by SVH and SVT because they had the same principal, defendant Michael Orr, and SVH and SVT are liable for BCGP’s or Orr’s obligations under the Finders’ Fee Agreement. SVT and SVH moved for dismissal. On May 13, 2021, the court granted the motion without prejudice. On May 17, 2021, Haze NV moved for leave to amend its complaint, adding Haze Ontario as a plaintiff and again naming SVT and SVH as defendants. That motion to amend was granted by the court on June 29, 2021. SVT and SVH again moved to dismiss on July 23, 2021. On August 10, 2021, Plaintiffs again moved to amend, seeking to add TILT Holdings Inc. (“TILT”) and TILT Holdings US, Inc. (“TILT US” and, collectively with SVT, SVH and TILT, the “TILT Parties”) as defendants. On October 7, 2021, the motions to dismiss were denied without prejudice and the court ordered the parties to participate in limited jurisdictional discovery before entertaining renewed motions to dismiss. Upon the closing of the limited jurisdictional discovery period, the TILT Parties moved to dismiss on April 19, 2023. By minute order dated July 21, 2023, the court granted the TILT Parties’ motion to dismiss due to lack of personal jurisdiction.

On November 13, 2020, VPR Brands, LP (“VPR”) filed a lawsuit against Jupiter in the United States District Court in the District of Arizona. VPR claims infringement of several claims in United States Patent Number 8,205,622. Jupiter filed an Inter Partes Review (“IPR”) as AIA Review No.: IPR2022-00299 on December 20, 2021 alleging that the patent claims involved in the suit are invalid. The request for IPR was denied on July 12, 2022 and a request on rehearing was denied on October 11, 2022. The parties filed a Joint Notice of Settlement dated April 7, 2023 and executed a settlement agreement on May 15, 2023.

The Company’s head office is located in Phoenix, Arizona and its registered office is located in Vancouver, British Columbia. 

The Company operates through two business divisions: inhalation technology and cannabis.

Significant Developments in the Quarter

Bridge Notes

On May 15, 2023, TILT and its subsidiaries, Jimmy Jang, L.P., Baker Technologies, Inc., CAC, and Jupiter Research, LLC (collectively, the “Subsidiary Borrowers”) closed an offering of up to $4,500 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured promissory notes (the “2023 Bridge Notes”), with an original issue discount of approximately $500, allowing access to funding of up to $4,000 from its existing secured note holders to assist with a transition in payment terms of a trade payable with a primary supplier. The 2023 Bridge Notes bear a floating interest rate at the higher of 16% or the prime rate plus 8.5% and mature in December 2023. Starting July 1, 2023, the Subsidiary Borrowers are obligated to pay $750 in amortization payments in addition to interest payments and a monthly payment at the beginning of each calendar month the 2023 Bridge Notes are outstanding that is equal to 50% of the Company’s unrestricted cash greater than $10,000 at the end of the prior calendar month. The Subsidiary Borrowers are also obligated to make mandatory prepayments of net cash proceeds from asset sales, casualty and condemnation awards, future equity or debt issuances and the settlement of certain third-party assets.

In connection with the issuance of the 2023 Bridge Notes, the Company entered into a Consent, Confirmation, Limited Waiver And Forbearance Agreement (the “Waiver”) with Jordan Geotas as the noteholder representative (the “Noteholder Representative”) under the first amendment to the Junior Secured Note Purchase Agreement (the “2019 NPA”) relating to the issuance of junior secured promissory notes (the “2019 Junior Notes”), wherein the Noteholder Representative waived the Subsidiary Borrowers’ payment obligations during a forbearance period ending on December 8, 2023 so long as the amounts otherwise due are applied under the Secured Note Purchase Agreement (the “Bridge Notes NPA”), and has agreed to waive certain financial covenant defaults expected to occur during the forbearance period as a result of the Company and Subsidiary Borrowers entering into and performing their obligations under the Bridge Notes NPA. The promissory notes issued under the 2019 NPA will accrue interest at a default rate (prime rate plus 8.5%, with an additional 8% due to the default) and late fees at the rate of $40 per month will be incurred during this forbearance period. All interest payments not made when due during the forbearance period, interest at the default rate accrued thereon, and late fees incurred will be due and payable at the end of the forbearance period. As a result of the Waiver, the default interest rate for the 2023 Refinanced Notes and the 2023 New Notes (as defined in Note 11 — Notes Payable) was 24.75% as of June 30, 2023.

Certain Trends and Uncertainties

The Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be unfavorably impacted by the following trends and uncertainties. See also Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and on SEDAR, for discussions of other risks that may affect the Company.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Global Conflicts

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the coronavirus 2019 disease (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic. The Company continues to implement and evaluate actions to strengthen its financial position and support the continuity of its business and operations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical conflicts, including the recent war in Ukraine, have created much uncertainty in the global marketplace. The Company is closely monitoring the ongoing impact of such events on all aspects of its business, including how it will impact its services, customers, employees, vendors, and business partners now and in the future. While the COVID-19 pandemic and recent geopolitical conflicts did not materially adversely affect the Company’s financial results and business operations in the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company is unable to predict the impact that these events will have on its future financial position and operating results due to numerous uncertainties.

Revenue

Revenue represents the amount the Company expects to receive for goods and services in its contracts with customers, net of discounts and sales taxes. The Company’s revenue is derived from the following:

Sale of Goods — Vaporization and Inhalation Devices:

Revenue from the wholesale sales of accessories is recognized when the Company transfers control and satisfies its performance obligations on wholesale sales of accessories. Revenue is recognized from product sales at a point in time following the transfer of control of such products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery, depending on the terms of sale with the customer.

Sale of Goods — Cannabis:

Revenue from the direct sale of goods to customers for a fixed price is recognized when the Company transfers control of the goods to the customer. The Company transfers control and satisfies its performance obligations on retail sales upon delivery and acceptance from the customer. For dispensary sales, this occurs at the point of sale at the dispensary. The Company satisfies its performance obligation on wholesale sales when goods are delivered to the customer.

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $41,599, down from $47,055 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting a year-over-year decrease of $5,456 or 12%. The decrease was primarily attributable to Jupiter which decreased revenue by $6,158 or 18%, mainly driven by lower sales volume and a lower average price in certain product lines as market prices have decreased. Partially offsetting Jupiter’s revenue decrease, revenue in cannabis operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $702 or 6% year-over-year, primarily in Standard Farms PA and Standard Farms OH driven mainly by increased sales volume in brand partner product lines.

Cost of Goods Sold, Gross Profit and Gross Margin Percentage

Gross profit reflects revenue less production costs primarily consisting of labor, materials, rent and facilities, supplies, overhead, and amortization on production equipment, shipping, packaging and other expenses required to grow and manufacture cannabis products. Gross margin represents gross profit as a percentage of revenue.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $37,559, up from $36,110 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 reflecting a year-over-year increase of $1,449 or 4%, driven mainly by a one-time $4,878 adjustment to inventory. In connection with changes in management during the period, the Company shifted sales strategies within cannabis operations to better align resources and product offerings with current trends in customer demand. As a result, an adjustment to inventory was made, writing off the value of certain products the Company now considers obsolete and adjusting the valuation of other products to their net realizable value. Additionally, increased sales volume at Standard Farms PA and Standard Farms OH contributed to the increase in cost of goods sold year-over-year, partially offset by decreased sales volume at Jupiter.

The Company’s gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $4,040, down from $10,945 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, which reflects a year-over-year decrease of $6,905 or 63%. Gross margin was 10% and 23% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin was mainly due to the one-time adjustment to inventory described above.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses primarily consists of costs incurred at the Company’s corporate offices, share-based compensation, personnel costs including wages and employee benefits, professional service costs including accounting and legal expenses, rental costs associated with certain of the Company’s offices and facilities, insurance expenses, costs associated with advertising and marketing the Company’s products and other general and administrative expenses which support the Company’s business.

The following is a summary of the Company’s operating expenses derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $17,991, a decrease of $6,530 or 27% year-over-year from $24,521. The decrease was primarily driven by the reduction in share-based compensation, mainly related to the forfeiture of equity awards by the Company’s former CEO. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company determined that certain performance milestones related to a consulting project were no longer probable and as a result the Company reversed all share-based compensation expense related to the project. See Note 14 — Shareholders' Equity for further details. In addition to the foregoing, impairment loss and loss on disposal of assets decreased, general and administrative expense decreased mainly due to a decline in legal fees associated with litigation activity, and wages and benefits decreased, primarily driven by a reduction in headcount in the corporate office as the Company realigns resources to fit strategic goals.

Impairment Losses

Impairment losses for the three months ended June 30, 2023, were $4,947, a decrease of $1,722 or 26% year-over-year driven mainly by the absence of goodwill impairment at Jupiter. During the period, the Company refocused its Massachusetts retail operations on core assets, reducing the operating capacity of certain of its dispensaries triggering an impairment analysis which resulted in an impairment of fixed assets, right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and leasehold improvements of $3,994. See Note 5 — Property, Plant and Equipment and Assets Held for Sale and Note 13 — Leases for further details. Additionally, there was a $737 impairment expense related to the write-down of a management contract and a $185 impairment expense driven by the finding that certain assets held for sale had a carrying value in excess of their fair market value.

Other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $17,128, an increase of $16,752 from other expense of $376 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily driven by the increase in unrealized loss on investment mainly driven by the write-down of the Company’s holdings of HERBL class B common shares to zero following HERBL entering receivership in June 2023. Additionally, there was an increase in loan receivable losses based on the Company’s current expected credit loss analysis of loans receivable, a decrease in non-cash income due to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities as there was no warrant liability for the period, and an increase in interest expense primarily driven by higher interest rates on the Company’s debt and finance expense related to the lease liability at the Company’s Taunton, Massachusetts cannabis facility (the “Taunton Facility”).

Income Tax Benefit

As the Company operates in the cannabis industry, it is subject to the limits of Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”) under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to the cost of production. As such, the effective tax rate can be highly variable and may not correlate to pre-tax income or loss.

Income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $2,742, a decrease of $4,156 from income tax benefit of $6,898 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. See Note 16 – Income Taxes for further details.

Net Loss Attributable to TILT

The Company recorded net loss of $26,895 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to net loss of $7,051 for the prior year, for an increase in net loss of $19,844 primarily driven by the $16,752 increase in other expense, the $6,905 decrease in gross profit, and the $4,156 decrease in income tax benefit, partially offset by the $6,530 decrease in operating expense.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $83,863, down from $89,407 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting a year-over-year decrease of $5,544 or 6%. The decrease was primarily attributable to Jupiter which decreased revenue by $7,948 or 12%, mainly driven by lower sales volume and a lower average price in certain product lines as market prices have decreased. Partially offsetting Jupiter’s revenue decrease, revenue in cannabis operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $2,404 or 10% year-over-year, primarily in Standard Farms PA and Standard Farms OH driven mainly by increased sales volume in brand partner product lines.

Cost of Goods Sold, Gross Profit and Gross Margin Percentage

Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $71,027, up from $69,109 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 reflecting a year-over-year increase of $1,918 or 3%, driven mainly by a one-time $4,878 adjustment to inventory during the three months ended June 30, 2023. In connection with changes in management during the period, the Company shifted sales strategies within cannabis operations to better align resources and product offerings with current trends in customer demand. As a result, an adjustment to inventory was made, writing off the value of certain products the Company now considers obsolete and adjusting the valuation of other products to their net realizable value. Additionally, increased sales volume at Standard Farms PA and Standard Farms OH contributed to the increase in cost of goods sold year-over-year, partially offset by decreased sales volume at Jupiter.

The Company’s gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $12,836, down from $20,298 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, which reflects a year-over-year decrease of $7,462 or 37%. Gross margin was 15% and 23% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin was mainly due to the one-time inventory adjustment described above, partially offset by an increase in gross profit and gross margin at Jupiter, driven primarily by lower average costs per unit in certain product lines relative to the prior year period.

Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $34,409, a decrease of $6,947 or 17% year-over-year from $41,356. The decrease was primarily driven by the reduction in share-based compensation, mainly related to the forfeiture of equity awards by the Company’s former CEO.

In addition to the foregoing, there was a decrease in impairment loss and loss on disposal of assets.

Impairment Losses

Impairment losses for the six months ended June 30, 2023, were $5,135, a decrease of $2,231 or 30% year-over-year driven mainly by the absence of goodwill impairment at Jupiter. During the period, the Company refocused its Massachusetts retail operations on core assets, reducing the operating capacity of certain of its dispensaries triggering an impairment analysis which resulted in an impairment of fixed assets, ROU assets and leasehold improvements of $3,994. See Note 5 — Property, Plant and Equipment and Assets Held for Sale and Note 13 — Leases for further details. Additionally, there was a $737 impairment expense related to the write-down of a management contract and a $325 impairment loss, driven by the finding that certain assets held for sale had a carrying value in excess of their fair market value.

Other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $13,046, an increase of $7,186 from other expense of $5,860 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily driven by the increase in unrealized loss on investment mainly driven by the write-down of the Company’s holdings of HERBL class B common shares to zero following HERBL entering receivership in June 2023. Additionally, there was an increase in loan receivable losses based on the Company’s current expected credit loss analysis of loans receivable, an increase in interest expense mainly driven by finance expense related to the lease liability at the Company’s Taunton Facility, and a decrease in non-cash income due to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities as there was no warrant liability for the period. Partially offsetting the foregoing, there was an increase in gain on sale of assets mainly related to the sale-leaseback transaction with Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. pertaining to its White Haven, Pennsylvania facility (the “Pennsylvania Transaction”) described in Note 5 – Property, Plant and Equipment.

Income Tax Benefit

Income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $1,416, a decrease of $6,814 from income tax benefit of $8,230 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. See Note 16 – Income Taxes for further details.

Net Loss Attributable to TILT

The Company recorded net loss of $31,770 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to net loss of $18,680 for the prior year, for an increase in net loss of $13,090 primarily driven by the $7,462 decrease in gross profit, the $6,814 decrease in income tax benefit and $7,186 increase in other expense, partially offset by the $6,947 decrease in operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company closely monitors and manages its capital resources to assess the liquidity required to fund fixed asset capital expenditures and operations.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The Company’s balance of cash and cash equivalents was $2,815 as of June 30, 2023 compared to $2,202 as of December 31, 2022. The Company requires cash to: (i) fund operating expenses, working capital requirements, including accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and outlays for strategic acquisitions and investments, (ii) service debt, including principal and interest; (iii) conduct research and development; and (iv) incur capital expenditures.

The Company is an early-stage growth company, generating cash primarily from revenue derived from the sale of its products, third-party debt, and proceeds from the sale and leaseback of certain of the Company’s properties.

The Company has experienced operating losses since its inception and may continue to incur losses in the development of its business. The Company incurred a comprehensive loss of $31,775 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and has an accumulated deficit of $995,473 as of June 30, 2023. Additionally, as of June 30, 2023, the Company had positive working capital of $5,597 compared to working capital of ($39,570) as of December 31, 2022.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company (i) completed the Pennsylvania Transaction, (ii) refinanced the 2019 Junior Notes, (iii) extended the maturity date of and increased the amount available under the Company’s existing $10,000 asset-based revolving credit facility, and (iv) obtained additional funds through the 2023 Bridge Notes. For further details regarding these transactions, see Note 5 — Property, Plant and Equipment and Assets Held for Sale and Note 11 — Notes Payable, to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s operating plans for the next 12 months include (i) increasing revenue growth from the sale of existing products and the introduction of new products across all operating segments; (ii) reducing production and operational costs as a result of efficiencies in cannabis operations; (iii) reducing supply chain costs; (iv) reducing and delaying overhead and other certain expenditures; and (v) obtaining other financings as necessary.

Table of Contents

The Company believes that these actions will help to mitigate any substantial doubt raised by our historical operating results and satisfy our estimated liquidity needs for the 12 months following the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. However, during the second quarter of 2023, a primary supplier significantly changed the payment terms of the Company’s trade payable. This was an unexpected event impacting short-term liquidity, therefore, the Company secured additional financing through the 2023 Bridge Notes to satisfy the transition of the new payment terms and provide working capital for the business. However, the issuance of the 2023 Bridge Notes caused the Company to have to obtain a waiver of the financial covenant defaults expected to occur for the refinanced secured promissory notes issued originally under the 2019 Junior Notes NPA (the “2023 Refinanced Notes”). As a result of the waiver, the Company had to pay default interest rates on its 2023 Refinanced Notes and the Company’s private placement secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $8,260, with a maturity date of February 15, 2027 (the “2023 New Notes”), which resulted in an increase from 16.5% as of March 31, 2023 to 24.75% as of June 30, 2023. See Note 11 — Notes Payable for additional information.

As a result of this and other factors, the Company cannot predict with certainty the outcome of its actions to generate liquidity as discussed above, including the availability of additional financing as necessary, or whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity as currently planned. Therefore, management has concluded there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months after the date of this filing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. See Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors for further details.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash was provided by (used in):

Operating activities: $440. The cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased $3,323 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, mainly driven by the decrease in revenue.
Investing activities: $11,882. The cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $26,684 from cash used in investing activities of ($14,802) for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was mainly related to the 2022 Taunton Facility transactions described in Note 12 – Massachusetts Lease Liability and the proceeds from the Pennsylvania Transaction described in Note 13 — Leases.
Financing activities: ($11,704). The cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $50,474 as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $38,770 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was mainly driven by an increase in repayments on notes payable primarily related to the retired senior secured promissory notes issued on November 1, 2019 and the 2023 Refinanced Notes which are described in Note 11 — Notes Payable and a decrease in proceeds from borrowing, mainly due to the timing of the 2022 Taunton Facility transactions described in Note 12 – Massachusetts Lease Liability.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Item 8.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

In accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators Staff Notice 51-352 Issuers with U.S. Marijuana-Related Activities, readers are referred to the subsection titled “Legal and Regulatory Matters” in our Form 10-K, which includes information regarding the current federal and state-level United States regulatory regimes in those jurisdictions where the Company is currently directly and indirectly involved in the cannabis industry, through its subsidiaries and investments. There have been no material updates to this disclosure as of the date hereof.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and, as such, is not required to provide the information under this item.

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as the Company’s controls and procedures are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the risk related to controls and procedures.

 

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as of June 30, 2023, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation of the Company’s internal control performed during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in the status of the legal proceedings to those previously disclosed in Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” of the Form 10-K. Refer to Note 18 — Commitments and Contingencies for additional information on the Company’s legal proceedings.

On February 2, 2021, the Haze Corp., Nevada (“Haze NV”) filed a complaint in Clark County, Nevada’s Eighth Judicial District Court against Brand Canna Growth Partners, Inc. (“BCGP”), Michael Orr, Santé Veritas Holdings, Inc. (“SVH”) and Santé Veritas Therapeutics Inc. (“SVT”). As explained below, Haze NV later amended its complaint to name a second plaintiff, the Haze Corp., Ontario (“Haze Ontario,” and together with Haze NV, the “Plaintiffs”). SVH and SVT are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. In the operative complaint, Plaintiffs allege that Haze Ontario entered into a Finder’s Fee Agreement with BCGP in 2017 and under that agreement Haze Ontario is owed payments for acquisitions that it facilitated. Plaintiffs further allege that Haze Ontario assigned its rights to payment under the Finder’s Fee Agreement to Haze NV. Plaintiffs allege that BCGP is influenced and governed by SVH and SVT because they had the same principal, defendant Michael Orr, and SVH and SVT are liable for BCGP’s or Orr’s obligations under the Finders’ Fee Agreement. SVT and SVH moved for dismissal. On May 13, 2021, the court granted the motion without prejudice. On May 17, 2021, Haze NV moved for leave to amend its complaint, adding Haze Ontario as a plaintiff and again naming SVT and SVH as defendants. That motion to amend was granted by the court on June 29, 2021. SVT and SVH again moved to dismiss on July 23, 2021. On August 10, 2021, Plaintiffs again moved to amend, seeking to add TILT Holdings Inc. (“TILT”) and TILT Holdings US, Inc. (“TILT US” and, collectively with SVT, SVH and TILT, the “TILT Parties”) as defendants. On October 7, 2021, the motions to dismiss were denied without prejudice and the court ordered the parties to participate in limited jurisdictional discovery before entertaining renewed motions to dismiss. Upon the closing of the limited jurisdictional discovery period, the TILT Parties moved to dismiss on April 19, 2023. By minute order dated July 21, 2023, the court granted the TILT Parties’ motion to dismiss due to lack of personal jurisdiction.

On November 13, 2020, VPR Brands, LP (“VPR”) filed a lawsuit against Jupiter in the United States District Court in the District of Arizona. VPR claims infringement of several claims in United States Patent Number 8,205,622. Jupiter filed an Inter Partes Review (“IPR”) as AIA Review No.: IPR2022‑00299 on December 20, 2021 alleging that the patent claims involved in the suit are invalid. The request for IPR was denied on July 12, 2022 and a request on rehearing was denied October 11, 2022. The parties filed a Joint Notice of Settlement dated April 7, 2023 and executed a settlement agreement on May 15, 2023.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risks described in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the Form 10-K filed with the SEC and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, and all information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our interim financial statements and the related notes thereto, before making a decision to purchase our securities.

Other than as described below, there have been no material changes since the filing of the Form 10-K to the risk factors previously disclosed therein. If any of such risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If that happens, the value of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and holders of our common shares could suffer a total loss of their investment. If we are unable to achieve our financial projections, we may need to raise additional capital to continue our operations. Such capital may not be available to us or may not be available at terms we deem acceptable, either of which could reduce our ability to compete and could negatively affect our business.

Our history of losses and negative working capital raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern, which may negatively impact the price of our common shares. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our financial statements, and it is likely that investors will lose all or part of their investment. Further, the perception that we may be unable to continue as a going concern may impede our ability to pursue strategic opportunities or operate our business due to concerns regarding our ability to fulfill our contractual obligations. In addition, if there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

Additionally, we may not be able to access a portion of our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments due to market conditions. For example, Silicon Valley Bank was taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which was appointed as the receiver of the bank. If other banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future in response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, our ability to access our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments may be threatened, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Any failure to meet our projections and/or delay to secure additional financing, or our ability to access our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments, could force us to delay, limit or terminate our operations, make further reductions in our workforce, liquidate all or a portion of our assets and/or seek protection under Chapters 7 or 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

During the second quarter of 2023, a primary supplier significantly changed the payment terms of the Company’s trade payable. This was an unexpected event impacting short-term liquidity, therefore, the Company secured additional financing through the 2023 Bridge Notes to satisfy the transition of the new payment terms and provide working capital for the business. However, the issuance of the 2023 Bridge Notes caused the Company to have to obtain a waiver of financial covenant defaults expected to occur for the 2023 Refinanced Notes. As a result of the waiver, the Company had to pay default interest rates on its 2023 Refinanced Notes and 2023 New Notes, which resulted in an increase from 16.5% as of March 31, 2023 to 24.75% as of June 30, 2023. See Note 11 — Notes Payable for additional information. In addition, if we are unable to achieve our projections and/or unable to obtain additional sources of liquidity, management anticipates that our existing cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flows from operations will not be sufficient to meet our operating and liquidity needs for any meaningful period of time following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We will likely need to engage in equity or debt financing to secure additional funds. If we raise additional equity financing, shareholders will experience significant dilution of their ownership interests to the extent we issue a significant number of common shares, and we may experience a decline in the market price of the common shares. Our current debt requires us to pay the proceeds of any equity financing to our debtholders. Our current debt also contains restrictions on our future debt financing, but if we engage in future debt financing, the holders of debt would have priority over the holders of common shares, and we may be required to accept terms that restrict our operations or our ability to incur additional indebtedness or to take other actions that would otherwise be in the interests of the debt holders. In addition, adverse macroeconomic developments, including without limitation inflation, slowing economic growth, rising interest rates or a potential economic recession, may reduce our ability to access such capital and our ability to meet and exceed forecast. Any of the above could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve our forecast or to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to meet or exceed our forecast or raise adequate additional capital when required or in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we may have to significantly reduce expenses, sell assets (potentially at a loss), cease operations altogether, pursue an acquisition of our company at a price that may result in up to a total loss on investment for our shareholders, file for bankruptcy or seek other protection from creditors, or liquidate all of our assets.

We may not successfully manage the transition of leadership associated with the resignation of our CEO and CFO, which could have an adverse impact on us.

On April 21, 2023, Gary F. Santo, Jr. resigned as CEO of the Company, and Tim Conder, a current Board member, was appointed Interim CEO. Mr. Conder has been a Board member since October 2019 and previously served as the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer from 2019 until 2020, following the Company’s acquisition of its former business unit Blackbird, a cannabis software and services company co-founded by Mr. Conder.

On May 22, 2023, Dana R. Arvidson resigned as CFO of the Company and Brad Hoch, the Chief Accounting Officer, was appointed Interim CFO. Mr. Hoch has served as the Chief Accounting Officer of the Company since December 2022. Prior to serving as the Chief Accounting Officer, Mr. Hoch served as CFO of the Company from October 2020 to December 2022 and served as the Interim CFO from June 2020 to October 2020.

Our success will depend, in part, on our management of the transition to, and integration of, the Interim CEO and CFO or permanent successors, if appointed, and the effectiveness of the Interim CEO and CFO and the permanent successors, if appointed. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in finding suitable permanent successors or in a timely manner. The CEO and CFO positions of the Company are critical to executing on and achieving our vision, strategic direction, culture, and products. The leadership transition may create uncertainty among employees, suppliers and customers, divert resources and management attention, impact public or market perception, our stock price or our performance, any of which could negatively impact our ability to operate effectively or execute our strategies and result in an adverse impact on our business. 

We may not be able to maintain the trading of our common shares on the OTCQX, which could adversely affect the liquidity of our common shares and the trading volume and market price of our common shares and decrease your investment.

 

Effective January 8, 2021, our common shares began trading, and are currently quoted, on the OTCQX International tier. To remain eligible for trading on the OTCQX International tier, we are required to maintain a minimum bid price of $0.10 per share as of the close of business for at least one of every 30 consecutive calendar days, a market capitalization of at least $5 million for at least one of every 30 consecutive calendar days, and at least two Market Makers publish priced quotations on OTC Link ATS within 90 days of the Company joining OTCQX. In the event that the Company’s bid price, the market capitalization, or the number of Market Makers fall below the minimum criteria, a cure period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance shall begin, during which time the applicable criteria must be met for 10 consecutive trading days.

On December 16, 2022, we were notified by OTC Markets that the bid price for our common shares had closed below $0.10 for more than 30 consecutive calendar days and no longer met the Standards for Continued Qualification for the OTCQX International tier, per the OTCQX Rules for International Companies.

The 180-calendar day cure period to regain compliance expired on June 14, 2023. The Company has obtained an extension of the cure period to regain compliance until August 31, 2023. If at that time the Company’s bid price has not stayed at or above the $0.10 minimum bid price for ten consecutive trading days, then our common shares will be removed from OTCQX and will be eligible to trade on the OTCQB.

No assurance can be provided that we will be able to maintain continued trading of our common shares on OTCQX. Removal of our common shares from OTCQX may have an adverse effect on the market liquidity for our common shares, limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common shares and shareholders to sell their shares in the secondary market. In addition, if our common shares are no longer quoted on the OTCQX, there can be no assurance that we will meet the eligibility criteria and requalify for quotation on the OTCQX.

We have incurred substantial indebtedness that may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and we may not be able to refinance, extend or repay this indebtedness on a timely basis or at all.

We have significant existing indebtedness. As of June 30, 2023, we had total indebtedness of $57,036. Our indebtedness could have important consequences and significant effects on our business. For example, it could:

increase our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions;

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to making payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industries in which we operate;

restrict us from exploiting business opportunities;

place us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and

limit our ability to borrow additional funds or obtain additional financing in the future.

We could also incur additional debt in the future. The terms of our secured promissory notes do not prohibit us from incurring certain permitted indebtedness. To the extent we incur additional debt, we would become even more susceptible to the leverage-related risks described above.

The agreements governing our indebtedness contain various covenants that limit management’s discretion in the operation of our business.

On February 15, 2023, we issued the 2023 Refinanced Notes, which mature on February 15, 2026, and the 2023 New Notes (together with the 2023 Refinanced Notes, the “2023 Notes”), which mature on February 15, 2027. On May 15, 2023, we issued the 2023 Bridge Notes.

The 2023 Notes and 2023 Bridge Notes contain various restrictive covenants customary for arrangements of these types that restrict our ability to, among other things:

incur additional debt;

pay dividends and make other distributions;

make investments and other restricted payments;

make acquisitions;

merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of our assets;

enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

create liens; and

enter into transactions with affiliates.

The issuance of the 2023 Bridge Notes caused us to have to obtain a waiver of the financial covenant defaults expected to occur on the 2023 Notes. As a result of the waiver, we had to pay default interest rates on the 2023 Notes, which resulted in an increase from 16.5% to 24.75%. If we have to obtain a waiver of the restrictions or financial covenants in present or future financing agreements, we may be subject to increased default interest rates which could have a material adverse impact on our business.

If we fail to comply with the restrictions or financial covenants in present or future financing agreements or fail to obtain a waiver of such restrictions or covenants, a default may occur. The 2023 Notes and 2023 Bridge Notes may be accelerated and all remedies may be exercised by the holder in case of an event of default under these notes, which includes events that customarily constitute an event of default for debt securities of this type as well as upon a change of control. A default could allow creditors to accelerate the related debt as well as any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. A default could also allow creditors to foreclose on any collateral securing such debt.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service requirements.

The 2023 Notes and 2023 Bridge Notes are subject to prepayment obligations and our ability to service our debt depends on our ability to generate the necessary cash flow. Generation of the necessary cash flow is partially subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. If we are unable to generate cash flow from operations to repay these obligations at maturity and are otherwise unable to extend the maturity dates or refinance these obligations, we would be in default. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to raise the necessary amount of capital to repay these obligations, that any obligations that are convertible will be converted into equity or that we will be able to extend the maturity dates or otherwise refinance these obligations. Upon a default, the lenders under such debt would have the right to exercise their rights and remedies to collect, which would include the ability to foreclose on our assets. Accordingly, a default by us would have a material adverse effect on our business, capital, financial condition and prospects and we would likely be forced to seek bankruptcy protection.
