1. Nature of operations
TerrAscend Corp. (the "Issuer") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on March 7, 2017. The Issuer, through its subsidiaries, TerrAscend Growth Corp. (“TerrAscend”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company”), is a leading North American cannabis company. TerrAscend has vertically integrated licensed operations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, Maryland and California. In addition, the Company has retail operations in Ontario, Canada with a majority-owned dispensary in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In the United States, TerrAscend’s cultivation and manufacturing provide product selection to both the medical and legal adult-use markets. Notwithstanding the fact that various states in the United States have implemented medical marijuana laws or have otherwise legalized the use of cannabis, the use of cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law for any purpose, by way of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.
The Company operates under one operating segment, which is the cultivation, production and sale of cannabis products.
The Company owns a portfolio of operating businesses, including:
•TerrAscend New Jersey (“TerrAscend NJ”), a majority owned operation with three dispensaries, and a cultivation/processing facility;
•TerrAscend Maryland (“TerrAscend MD”), a wholly-owned operation with four dispensaries, and a cultivation/processing facility;
•TerrAscend Pennsylvania (“TerrAscend PA”), a wholly-owned operation with six dispensaries, and a cultivation/processing facility;
•TerrAscend Michigan (“TerrAscend MI”), a wholly-owned operation with twenty dispensaries, and three cultivation and processing facilities;
•TerrAscend California (“TerrAscend CA”), a wholly-owned operation with four dispensaries, and a cultivation facility; and
•TerrAscend Canada Inc. (“TerrAscend Canada”), a cannabis retailer in Ontario, Canada with a majority-owned dispensary in Toronto, Ontario, Canada ("Cookies Canada").
The common shares in the capital of the Company ("Common Shares") commenced trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") on May 3, 2017 under the ticker symbol "TER" and continued trading on the CSE until the listing of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"). Effective July 4, 2023, the Common Shares commenced trading on the TSX under the ticker symbol "TSND". The Common Shares commenced trading on OTCQX on October 22, 2018 under the ticker symbol "TRSSF", which was subsequently changed to "TSNDF", effective July 6, 2023. The Company’s registered office is located at 77 City Centre Drive, Suite 501, Mississauga, Ontario, L5B 1M5, Canada.
2.Summary of significant accounting policies
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) of the Company and its subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year ended December 31, 2024, or any other interim or future periods.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 14, 2024 (the "Annual Report"). There were no significant changes to the policies disclosed in Note 2 of the summary of significant accounting
TerrAscend Corp.
Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except for share and per share amounts)
policies of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 in the Company's Annual Report .
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value as described herein.
The Company previously concluded that substantial doubt existed as to its ability to continue as a going concern primarily due to the Company's current liabilities exceeding its current assets related to its loans maturing within the current year. During the period ended on September 30, 2024, the Company entered into a four-year $140,000 senior secured term loan which was primarily used to retire a majority of the Company's loans coming due within the next year. See Note 10 for more information regarding the refinancing.
Following the retiring and financing of the Company’s loans coming due within the next year, along with its ability to identify access to future capital, and continued improvement in cash flow from the Company's consolidated operations, management has determined that substantial doubt no longer exists in the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Specifically, (Gain) loss on disposal of fixed assets has been reclassified out of Impairment of property and equipment and right of use assets and into Other operating (income) expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest by evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity (“VOE”) or a variable interest entity (“VIE”).
In connection with the listing of the Common Shares on the TSX, the Company reorganized its ownership structure to segregate the Company’s Canadian retail operations from TerrAscend's cultivation and manufacturing operations in the United States (the "Reorganization"). Following the completion of the Reorganization, the Company owns 95% of its Canadian retail business. The Company continues to consolidate both its Canadian and U.S. cannabis operations under two different consolidation models.
Subsequent to the Reorganization, all operations in the United States have a functional currency of the U.S. dollar ("USD"). Canadian operations continue to have a functional currency of the Canadian dollar ("CAD").
Voting Interest Entities
A VOE is an entity in which (1) the total equity investment at risk is deemed sufficient to absorb the expected losses of the entity, (2) the at-risk equity holders, as a group, have all of the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and (3) the entity is structured with substantive voting rights. The Company consolidates the Canadian operations under a VOE model based on the controlling financial interest obtained through Common Shares with substantive voting rights.
Variable Interest Entities
A VIE is an entity that lacks one or more characteristics of a controlling financial interest defined under the voting interest model. The Company consolidates VIE when it has a variable interest that provide it with (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (power) and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE (benefits).
In connection with the Reorganization, TerrAscend issued and sold, on a private placement basis, Class A shares in the capital of TerrAscend ("Class A Shares") for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,000 to an investor ("Investment"). See Note 10 for accounting treatment of the Class A Shares. Following the closing of the Investment, the Class B shares ("Class B Shares") in the capital of TerrAscend held by the Company, representing all of the issued and outstanding Class B shares, were automatically exchanged for non-voting, non-participating exchangeable shares in the capital of TerrAscend ("Non-Voting Shares"), representing approximately 99.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of TerrAscend on an as-converted basis. As a result of the limited rights associated with Non-Voting Shares that the Company holds following the closing of the Investment, the Company and TerrAscend entered into a protection agreement dated April 18, 2023 ("Protection Agreement"). The Protection Agreement provides for certain negative covenants in order to preserve the value of the Non-Voting Shares until such time as the Non-Voting Shares are converted into Class A Shares.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except for share and per share amounts)
The Issuer determined that TerrAscend is a VIE, as all of the Company’s U.S. activities continue to be conducted on behalf of the Company which has disproportionately few voting rights. After conducting an analysis of the following VIE factors; purpose and design of the VIE, the Protection Agreement in place, the structure of the Company's board of directors (the "Board"), and substantive kick-out rights of the holders of the Class A Shares, it was determined that the Company has the power to direct the activities of TerrAscend. In addition, given the structure of the Class A Shares where all of the losses and substantially all of the benefits of TerrAscend are absorbed by the Company, the Company consolidates as the primary beneficiary in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation.
The Company's U.S. operations are consolidated through the VIE model. Therefore, substantially all of the Company's current assets, non-current assets, current liabilities and non-current liabilities are consolidated through the VIE model. The Company's assets and liabilities that are not consolidated through the VIE model include convertible debt, and derivative liability. The Company also consolidates a minimal amount of assets and liabilities within Canada. See Note 21 for more information.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between Company’s closing stock price on September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of the in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had they exercised their in-the-money options on September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the market price of the Common Shares on the exercise date and the price paid by the option holder to exercise the option) related to stock options exercised is presented below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The fair value of the various stock options granted were estimated using the Black-Scholes Model with the following assumptions:
| | | | | | | | |
| | September 30, 2024 | | | December 31, 2023 | |
Common Stock Price of TerrAscend Corp. | | $1.18 - $2.14 | | | $1.25 - $2.05 | |
Volatility | | 77.54% - 78.31% | | | 77.79% - 80.16% | |
Risk-free interest rate | | 3.18% - 4.45% | | | 2.85% - 4.26% | |
Expected life (years) | | 4.01 - 10.01 | | | 9.78 - 10.01 | |
Dividend yield | | | 0.00 | % | | | 0.00 | % |
Volatility was estimated by using the historical volatility of the Company's stock price in USD as reflected on the OTCQX. In prior periods, the Company’s fair value calculations for stock options were consistently reported in USD. However, the stock price assumption used in calculating the fair value was previously stated in CAD. Effective as of the current period, the stock price assumption has been updated to reflect a USD-denominated stock price for consistency in financial reporting. The fair value amounts reported in prior periods remain unchanged, as the fair value itself has always been presented in USD. The expected life in years represents the period of time that the options issued are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. treasury bond issues with a remaining term approximately equal to the expected life of the options. Dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The total estimated fair value of stock options that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $5,647 and $4,587, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, there was $6,677 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options.

Parties are related if one party has the ability to control or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financing and operating decisions. At September 30, 2024, amounts due to/from related parties consisted of:
(a)Loans payable: During the period ended September 30, 2024, a related person, who is a key stakeholder of the Company, participated in the FG Loan (see Note 10), which makes up $5,500 of the total loan principal balance at September 30, 2024.
The Company's effective tax rate was (204)% and (450)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and (265)% and (418)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The Company has computed its provision for income taxes based on the actual effective tax rate for the quarter as the Company believes this is the best estimate for the annual effective tax rate. The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and Canada.
Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s uncertain tax positions and determining the provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes benefits from uncertain tax positions based on the cumulative probability method whereby the largest benefit with a cumulative probability of greater than 50% is recorded. An uncertain tax position is not recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.

The Company had an unrecognized tax benefits of $139,609 and $84,485 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The increase in uncertain tax positions is primarily due to legal interpretations that challenge the Company's tax liability under the Code (“280E Tax Position”). The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will increase over the next 12 months due to its 280E Tax Position. Of the unrecognized tax benefits amounts, $13,900 and $10,459 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, is unrelated to its 280E Tax Position. The unrecognized tax liabilities are combined with other long term liabilities of $1,006 and $4,667 as at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets.
Related to its 280E Tax Position, the Company has filed all of its amended federal and state returns for tax years 2020 through 2022. During the period ended September 30, 2024, the Company received refunds related primarily to the amended federal tax return for tax year 2020 in the amount of $8,699, including interest. During the period ended September 30, 2024, the Company's 2021 amended federal income tax return, which requests a refund of $14,940, was selected for a routine examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company does not currently anticipate completion of the audit within the next twelve months. Subsequent to the period ended September 30, 2024, upon the expiration of the statute of limitations associated with tax year 2020, the Company expects to release a portion of its uncertain tax benefits in the amount of $8,361.

24.Commitments and contingencies
Legal proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in a number of lawsuits incidental to its business, including litigation related to intellectual property, employment, and commercial matters. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, management believes that any ultimate liability would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. At September 30, 2024, there were no pending lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the proceedings described below.
Pure X Litigation
On August 9, 2023, AEY Capital LLC (“AEY”), a licensed subsidiary of TerrAscend, filed a lawsuit in Oakland County Circuit Court (the "Oakland Court") against Pure X, LLC (“Pure X”) seeking damages in the amount of $14,969 (the “AEY Claim”). The AEY Claim alleged breach of contract, quantum meruit/unjust enrichment, account stated and statutory conversion. AEY’s alleged damages were related to Pure X’s failure to pay for various cannabis products sold by AEY. This matter was settled between the parties and dismissed with prejudice by the Oakland Court on June 28, 2024.

Overview
The Company is a leading North American cannabis company. The Company has vertically integrated licensed operations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, Maryland and California. In addition, the Company has retail operations in Ontario, Canada with a majority-owned dispensary in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The Company operates under one operating segment, which is the cultivation, production and sale of cannabis products.
The Company owns a portfolio of operating businesses, including:

Components of Results of Operations
The following discussion sets forth certain components of the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss as well as factors that impact those items.
Revenue, net
The Company generates revenue from the sale of cannabis products, brands, and services to the U.S. and Canadian markets. Revenues consist of wholesale and retail sales in the legal medical and adult-use market across Canada and in several U.S. states where cannabis has been legalized for medical or adult-use cannabis.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales primarily consists of expenses related to providing cannabis products and services to the Company's customers, including personnel-related expenses, the depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of acquired intangible assets, certain royalties, and other overhead costs.
Operating Expenses
General and administrative
General and administrative ("G&A") expenses consist primarily of personnel costs related to finance, human resources, legal, certain royalties, and other administrative functions. Additionally, G&A expenses include professional fees to third parties, as well as marketing expenses. Moreover, G&A expenses includes share-based compensation on options, restricted stock units and warrants. The Company expects that G&A expenses will increase in absolute dollars as the business grows.
Amortization and depreciation
Amortization and depreciation includes the amortization of intangible assets. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following terms:
| |
Brand intangibles- indefinite lives | Indefinite useful lives |
Brand intangibles- definite lives | 3 years |
Software | 5 years |
Licenses | 5-30 years |
Non-compete agreements | 3 years |
Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset using the following terms:
| |
Buildings and improvements | 15-30 years |
Land | Not depreciated |
Machinery & equipment | 5-15 years |
Office furniture & production equipment | 3-5 years |
Right of use assets | Lease term |
Assets in process | Not depreciated |
Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill
Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually and whenever there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amount has been impaired. The Company first performs a qualitative assessment. If based on the results of a qualitative assessment it has been determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, an additional quantitative impairment test is performed which compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment is recorded.
Definite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment when there are indications that an asset may be impaired. When indicators of impairment exist, the Company performs a quantitative impairment test which compares the carrying value of the assets for intangible assets to their estimated fair values. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment is recorded.
Impairment of property and equipment and right of use assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment and right of use assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset, or asset group, may not be recoverable. When the Company determines that the carrying value of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more indicators, the assets are assessed for impairment based on the estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value.
Other operating expense (income)
Other operating expense (income) primarily represents (gains) losses on lease terminations and (gains) losses on disposal of fixed assets.
Loss (gain) from revaluation of contingent consideration
As a result of some of its acquisitions, the Company recognizes a contingent consideration payable, which is an obligation to transfer additional assets to the seller if future events occur. The liability is revalued at the end of each reporting period to determine its fair value. A gain or loss is recognized as a result of the revaluation.
(Gain) loss on fair value of derivative liabilities and purchase option derivative assets
The Company issues warrants that are remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting unit using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. A gain or loss is recognized as a result of the revaluation.
Finance and other expenses
Finance and other expenses consist primarily of interest and accretion expense on the Company's outstanding debt obligations.
Transaction and restructuring costs
Transaction costs include costs incurred in connection with the Company's acquisitions, such as expenses related to professional fees, consulting, legal and accounting. Restructuring costs are those costs associated with severance and restructuring of business units.
Unrealized and realized foreign exchange (gain) loss
Unrealized and realized foreign exchange (gain) loss represents the (gain) loss recognized on the remeasurement of USD denominated
cash and other assets recorded in the Canadian dollars functional currency at the Company's Canadian operations.
Unrealized and realized (gain) loss on investments
The Company accounts for its investment in equity securities without readily determinable fair values using a valuation technique which maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs, with subsequent holding changes in fair value recognized in unrealized gain or loss on investments in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss.
Loss on extinguishment of debt
Loss on extinguishment of debt represents the Company's debt that was retired prior to its scheduled maturity at a different amount than the book value and the amount paid.
Provision for income taxes
Provision for income taxes consists of U.S. federal and state income taxes in certain jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business.
Results from Operations - Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023
The following tables represent the Company’s results from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Revenue decreased from $89,240 to $74,168 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily driven by a decline in retail sales in Michigan and New Jersey. The decline in retail sales was related to reduced discounting and promotions in Michigan leading to lower foot traffic and increased competitive pressure in New Jersey.

| | | | | | | | |
| For the Three Months Ended | |
| | September 30, 2024 | | | September 30, 2023 | |

% change | | | 8 | % | | | |
The increase of $2,253 in general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, is primarily related to an increase in stock-based compensation due to a one-time modification for option expiry from five years to ten years. This was offset by a reduction in headcount.

The loss from the revaluation of contingent consideration for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the gain from the revaluation of contingent consideration for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was due to a loss on the revaluation of contingent liability for State Flower, The Apothecarium, and Peninsula acquisition resulting from a decrease in the Company's share price.
(Gain) loss on fair value of derivative liabilities and purchase option derivative assets
| | | | | | | | |
| For the Three Months Ended | |

$ change | | $ | (3,886 | ) | | | |
% change | | | -121 | % | | | |
The warrant liability was remeasured to fair value at September 30, 2024 using the Black-Scholes Model. The Company recognized a gain of $669 during the three months ended September 30, 2024 as a result of the reduction of the Company's share price.

| For the Three Months Ended | |
| | September 30, 2024 | | | September 30, 2023 | |

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Loss on extinguishment of debt increased as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, due to extinguishment of the majority of the Company's debt in relation to the FG Loan which included write-offs of deferred financing costs.

Liquidity and going concern
The Company previously concluded that substantial doubt existed as to its ability to continue as a going concern primarily due to the Company's current liabilities exceeding its current assets related to its loans maturing within the current year. During the period ended on September 30, 2024, the Company entered into a four-year $140,000 senior secured term loan which was primarily used to retire a majority of the Company's loans coming due within the next year. See Note 10 for more information regarding the refinancing.
Following the retiring and financing of the Company’s loans coming due within the next year, along with its ability to identify access to future capital, and continued improvement in cash flow from the Company's consolidated operations, management has determined that substantial doubt no longer exists in the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Since its inception, the Company's primary sources of capital have been through the issuance of equity securities or debt facilities, and the Company has received aggregate net proceeds from such transactions totaling $782,388 as of September 30, 2024.
The Company expects to fund any additional future requirements through the following sources of capital:
•cash from ongoing operations.
•additional debt from additional creditors.
•sale leaseback transactions.
•exercise of options and warrants.
Capital requirements
The Company has $205,733 in principal amounts of loans payable at September 30, 2024. Of this amount, $8,387 are due within the next twelve months.
The Company has entered into leases for certain premises and offices for which it owes monthly lease payments. The Company has $89,849 in lease obligations. Of this amount, $9,402 are due in the next twelve months.
The Company's undiscounted contingent consideration payable is $4,373 at September 30, 2024, of which, $2,546 is due in the next twelve months. The contingent consideration payable relates to the Company's acquisitions of Peninsula and the remaining 50.1% equity in both State Flower and three Apothecarium dispensaries in California. The contingent considerations are based upon the price protection of Common Shares issued under the terms of the applicable acquisition agreements. The contingent considerations are measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes Model and revalued at the end of each reporting period.
At September 30, 2024, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $46,381 and corporate income taxes payable of $11,075.
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition, including and without limitation, such consideration as liquidity and capital resources.
The Company intends to meet its capital commitments through any or all of the sources of capital noted above. The Company's objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure it has sufficient cash resources to maintain its ongoing operations and finance future obligations.

Ilera Term Loan
On December 18, 2020, WDB Holding PA, a subsidiary of TerrAscend, entered into a senior secured term loan with a syndicate of lenders in the amount of $120,000 (the “Ilera Term Loan”). The Ilera Term Loan was solely secured by Ilera. The Ilera Term Loan bore interest at 12.875% per annum and was set to mature on December 17, 2024. Subject to certain conditions of the agreement, the Company had the ability to increase the facility by up to $30,000. WDB Holding PA's obligations under the Ilera Term Loan and related transaction documents were guaranteed by the Company, TerrAscend USA, Inc. ("TerrAscend USA"), and certain subsidiaries of WDB Holding PA, and secured by TerrAscend USA's equity interest in WDB Holding PA and substantially all of the assets of WDB Holding PA and the subsidiary guarantors party thereto. The loan could be refinanced at the option of the WDB Holding PA after 18 months from the closing date subject to a premium payment due. Of the total proceeds received, $105,767 was used to satisfy the remaining Ilera earn-out payments.
On April 28, 2022, the Ilera Term Loan was amended to provide WDB Holding PA with greater flexibility by resetting the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio levels that must be satisfied at the end of each measurement period and extending the date in which WDB Holding PA was required to deliver its budget for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

The
amendment further provided that should WDB Holding PA fail to maintain the prescribed interest coverage ratio, the Company shall be required to deposit funds, as outlined in the amendment, into a restricted account, and no event of default shall occur.

Chicago Atlantic Term Loan
In connection with the Gage Acquisition, the Company assumed a senior secured term loan (the "Chicago Atlantic Term Loan") with an acquisition date fair value of $53,857. The credit agreement bore interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Prime Rate plus 7% or (ii) 10.25%. The term loan was payable monthly and had a maturity date of November 30, 2022. The Chicago Atlantic Term Loan was secured by a first lien on all Gage Growth assets. As a result of the amendment, the Company paid a loan amendment fee of $1,109 which was capitalized.
On August 10, 2022, the Chicago Atlantic Term Loan was amended as a result of the corporate restructure in conjunction with the Gage Acquisition. The amendment to the Chicago Atlantic Term Loan included the addition of a borrower and guarantor under the term loan and a right of first offer in favor of the administrative agent for a refinancing of the term loan. This amendment was not considered extinguishment of debt under ASC 470, Debt.
On November 29, 2022, the Company repaid $30,000 outstanding principal amount on the Chicago Atlantic Term Loan. On November 30, 2022, the remaining loan principal amount of $25,000 on the Chicago Atlantic Term Loan was amended (the "Amended Chicago Atlantic Term Loan"). The Amended Chicago Atlantic Term Loan bore an interest on $25,000 at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the U.S. "prime rate" plus 6.00%, and (ii) 13.0% and was set to mature on November 1, 2024. Commencing on May 31, 2023, the Company made monthly principal repayments of 0.40% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding. Additionally, the unpaid principal amount of the loan bore paid in kind interest at a rate of 1.50% per annum. No prepayment fees were owed if the Company voluntarily prepaid the loan after 18 months. If such prepayment occurred prior to 18 months, a prepayment fee equal to all of the interest on the loans that would be due after the date of such prepayment, was owed. Under the Amended Chicago Atlantic Term Loan, the Company had the ability to borrow incremental term loans of $30,000 at the option of the Company and subject to consents from the required lenders. The additional $30,000 incremental term loans available under the amendment were not drawn as of December 31, 2023. This loan represents a loan syndication, and therefore the Company assessed each of the lenders separately under ASC 470, Debt to determine if this represented a modification, or an extinguishment of debt. For three of the four remaining lenders, it was determined
that this was a modification. For the remaining lender, it was determined that this represented an extinguishment of debt and therefore the fees paid to the lenders on modification were expensed. As a result of this transaction, the Company expensed $1,907 of fees paid to the lenders and third parties as they did not meet the criteria for capitalization under ASC 470, Debt.
On June 9, 2023, the Company agreed to an amendment, among other things, to (i) permit changes necessary for the TSX Transaction (as defined therein) and (ii) to permit certain indebtedness and waive certain tax provisions. This amendment was not considered extinguishment of debt under ASC 470, Debt.

On August 1, 2024, as described above, the Company entered into the FG Loan, of which, a portion of the proceeds from the Delayed Draw, which occurred on September 30, 2024, was used to retire the Chicago Atlantic Term Loan and pay the outstanding principal amount of $22,557.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to reporting the financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company reports certain financial results that differ from what is reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP measures used by management do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company believes that certain investors and analysts use these measures to measure a company’s ability to meet other payment obligations or as a common measurement to value companies in the cannabis industry, and the Company calculates: (i) Free cash flow from net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less capital expenditures for property and equipment which management believes is an important measurement of the Company's ability to generate additional cash from its business operations, and (ii) EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as net loss, adjusted to exclude provision for income taxes, finance expenses, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss (gain) from revaluation of contingent consideration, loss (gain) on disposal of fixed assets, impairment of property and equipment and right of use assets, bad debt recovery, unrealized and realized loss on investments, (gain) loss on lease termination and derecognition of finance lease, unrealized and realized foreign exchange, gain on fair value of derivative liabilities and purchase option derivative assets, Employee Retention Credits and Transfer Fee, and certain other items, which management believes is not reflective of the ongoing operations and performance of the Company.
Such information is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a useful performance measure to assess the performance of the Company as it provides more meaningful ongoing operating results by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of the Company’s underlying business performance and other one-time or non-recurring expenses. The table below reconciles net loss to EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in gross profit driven by reduced sales. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due a decrease in gross profit margin.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company's future financial statements will be affected.
There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting estimates from the information provided in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", as contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that the Company (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
The Company will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier to occur of: (i) December 31, 2027 (a) in which the Company has total annual gross revenue of $1,235,000 or more, or (b) in which the Company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of the Company's Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700,000 as of the last business day of the Company’s most recent second fiscal quarter; and (ii) the date on which the Company has issued more than $1,000,000 in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There have been no material changes in the Company's primary risk exposures or management of market risks from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company's management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2024, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in a number of lawsuits incidental to its business, including litigation related to intellectual property, employment, and commercial matters. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, management believes that any ultimate liability would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or results of operations. As of September 30, 2024, there were no pending lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, except for the proceedings described below.
Pure X Litigation
On August 9, 2023, AEY Capital LLC (“AEY”), a licensed subsidiary of the Company, filed a lawsuit in Oakland County Circuit Court (the “Oakland Court”) against Pure X, LLC (“Pure X”) seeking damages in the amount of $14,969 (the “AEY Claim”). The AEY Claim alleged breach of contract, quantum meruit/unjust enrichment, account stated and statutory conversion. AEY’s alleged damages were related to Pure X’s failure to pay for various cannabis products sold by AEY. This matter was settled between the parties and dismissed with prejudice by the Oakland Court on June 28, 2024.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Investing in the Company's Common Shares involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors described in Part I, Item 1.A. “Risk Factors” in the Company's Annual Report. The Company may disclose changes to risk factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in its future filings with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems immaterial may impair its business operations. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company's Annual Report.
The Company cannot guarantee that the share repurchase program will be fully consummated or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. Share repurchases could also increase the volatility of the trading price of the Company’s Common Shares and could diminish our cash reserves.
While the Company’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program, the program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific dollar amount or acquire any specific number of Common Shares. The actual timing and number of shares repurchased remains subject to a variety of factors, including share price, trading volume, market conditions, compliance with applicable legal requirements, and other general business considerations. The share repurchase program expires on August 21, 2025, and the
Company cannot guarantee that the share purchase program will be fully utilized or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. The Company’s failure to repurchase Common Shares after announcing a share repurchase program may negatively impact the Company’s share price, reputation, and investor confidence.
Furthermore, the Company’s execution of the share repurchase program could affect the trading price of its Common Stock and increase volatility. The existence of a share repurchase program could cause the Company’s share price to be higher than it otherwise would be and could potentially reduce the market liquidity for the Company's shares. Although the Company's share repurchase program is intended to enhance long-term stockholder value, there is no assurance that it will do so because the market price of the Company’s Common Shares may decline below the levels at which it repurchases shares, and short-term shares price fluctuations could reduce the effectiveness of the program. Repurchasing Common Shares reduces the amount of cash the Company has available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions or investments, other business opportunities, and other general corporate projects, as well as to invest in securities to generate returns on the Company's cash balance. The Company also may fail to realize the anticipated long-term stockholder value of any share repurchase program.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On August 20, 2024, the Board approved a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $10,000 of the Company’s common shares (“Shares”). The share repurchase program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to 10,000,000 common shares of the Company at any time, or from time to time, from August 22, 2024 until August 21, 2025. The share repurchase program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to 65,361 Shares daily, which represents 25% of the Company’s average daily trading volume on the Toronto Stock Exchange of 261,445 Shares. Any repurchases under the program may be made by means of open market transactions, negotiated block transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a repurchase plan administered in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The size and timing of any repurchases will depend on price, market and business conditions, and other factors. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased Shares as set forth below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Period | | Total Number of Shares Purchased | | | Weighted Average Price Paid per Share | | | Total Number of Shares as Part of a Publicly Announced Program | | | Number of Shares that may yet be Purchased under the Program | |
July 1 through July 30, 2024 | | | — | | | $ | — | | | | — | | | | 10,000,000 | |
August 1 through August 31, 2024 | | | — | | | $ | — | | | | — | | | | 10,000,000 | |
September 1 through September 30, 2024 | | | 107,400 | | | $ | 1.24 | | | | 107,400 | | | | 9,892,600 | |
For the Quarter Ended September 30, 2024 | | | 107,400 | | | $ | 1.24 | | | | 107,400 | | | | 9,892,600 | |
