Acreage Holdings, Inc.
Form 10-Q
For the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2020

Explanatory Note

Due to the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), Acreage Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us” or “Acreage”) previously filed a current report on Form 8-K to avail itself of an extension to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 (this “Quarterly Report” or “Form 10-Q”), originally due on May 15, 2020, relying on an order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 25, 2020 pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”), regarding exemptions granted to certain public companies from specified provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder. In December 2019, COVID-19 was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic”. Our operations are located in many states throughout the United States, including New York, one of the areas of the United States hardest-hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in New York City. 

As a result of COVID-19, the Company has been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its employees for the past several weeks, including the temporary closures of its offices and having employees work remotely to the extent possible, which has adversely affected employee efficiency and disrupted the Company’s business operations. In particular, these changes have affected the collaboration of our financial reporting team and the accessibility of the Company’s books and records, resulting in delays in the review, preparation and completion of its financial statements for the first quarter of 2020 due to guidance from authorities for employees to follow work from home procedures. As such, the Company has relied upon the 45-day grace period provided by the Order to delay filing of its Quarterly Report.

Finite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets are tested for impairment based on undiscounted cash flows when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Accounting for warrants

The Company determines the accounting classification of warrants it issues, as either liability or equity classified, by first assessing whether the warrants meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480-10, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, then in accordance with ASC 815-40, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock. Under ASC 480, warrants are considered liability classified if the warrants are mandatorily redeemable, obligate the Company to settle the warrants or the underlying shares by paying cash or other assets, or warrants that must or may require settlement by issuing a variable number of shares.

If warrants do not meet the liability classification under ASC 480-10, the Company assesses the requirements under ASC 815-40, which states that contracts that require or may require the issuer to settle the contract for cash are liabilities recorded at fair value, irrespective of the likelihood of the transaction occurring that triggers the net cash settlement feature. If the warrants do not require liability classification under ASC 815-40, and in order to conclude equity classification, the Company also assesses whether the warrants are indexed to its common stock and whether the warrants are classified as equity under ASC 815-40 or other applicable GAAP. After all relevant assessments, the Company concludes whether the warrants are classified as liability or equity. Liability classified warrants require fair value accounting at issuance and subsequent to initial issuance with all changes in fair value after the issuance date recorded in the statements of operations. Equity classified warrants only require fair value accounting at issuance with no changes recognized subsequentgiven to the issuance date.collectability of those balances and the allowance is adjusted accordingly. Trade accounts receivable and notes receivable are written off after exhaustive collection efforts occur and the receivable is deemed uncollectible. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $373, all of which relates to the allowance for credit losses over accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2023, the allowance on loans receivable was $15,095, of which the allowance for credit losses over notes receivable was nil as the receivables were fully reserved for. Refer to Note 6 for further discussion.

The objective of ASU 2017-04 is to simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment. Under previous GAAP, entities were required to test goodwill for impairment using a two-step approach. Under the amendments in ASU 2017-04, an entity performs its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have an effect on the Company’s Financial Statements.

On October 24, 2022, the Company entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Floating Share Agreement”) with Canopy Growth and Canopy USA, LLC (“Canopy USA”), Canopy Growth’s newly-created U.S. domiciled holding company, pursuant to which, subject to approval of the holders of the Class D subordinate voting shares of Acreage (the “Floating Shares”) and the terms and conditions of the Floating Share Agreement, Canopy USA will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Floating Shares by way of court-approved plan of arrangement (the “Floating Share Arrangement”) for consideration of 0.4500 of a common share of Canopy Growth (each whole share a “Canopy Share”) in exchange for each Floating Share. A special meeting of the holders of Floating Shares was held on March 15, 2023, where the holders of Floating Shares approved the Floating Share Arrangement (the “Special Meeting”).
Concurrently with entering the Floating Share Agreement, Canopy Growth irrevocably waived its option to acquire the Floating Shares pursuant to the Amended Arrangement.
Subject to the provisions of the Floating Share Agreement, Canopy Growth has agreed to exercise the fixed option pursuant to the Amended Agreement to acquire all outstanding Fixed Shares, representing approximately 70% of the total shares of Acreage as at the date hereof, at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.3048 of a Canopy Share for each Fixed Share.
Acreage expects the Floating Share Arrangement to close upon the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions under the Floating Share Agreement and the Amended Arrangement. It is anticipated that the acquisition by Canopy USA of the Fixed Shares pursuant to the Fixed Option will be completed immediately following closing of the Floating Share Agreement. In the event that Canopy USA exercises the Fixed Option and acquires the Floating Shares pursuant to the Floating Share Arrangement, Acreage will be wholly-owned subsidiary of Canopy USA.
On March 17, 2023, Acreage, Canopy and Canopy USA entered into a first amendment to the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement (the “First Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment, Acreage, Canopy and Canopy USA agreed to amend the Exercise Outside Date (as defined in the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement) from March 31, 2023 to May 31, 2023. On May 31, 2023, the parties entered into a second amendment to the Floating Share Arrangement, further extending the Exercise Outside date from May 31, 2023 to August 31, 2023.

Tax Receivable Agreement and Tax Receivable Bonus Plans
The Company is a party to (i) a tax receivable agreement dated November 14, 2018 and subsequently amended (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) between the Company and certain current and former unit holders of HSCP and (ii) tax receivable bonus plans dated November 14, 2018 and subsequently amended (the “Tax Receivable Bonus Plans”) between the Company and certain directors, officers and consultants of the Company (together the “Tax Receivable Recipients”). Under the Tax Receivable Agreement and the Tax Receivable Bonus Plans, the Company is required to make cash payments to the Tax Receivable Recipients equal to 85% of the tax benefits, if any, that the Company actually realizes, or in certain circumstances is deemed to realize, as a result of (i) the increases in its share of the tax basis of assets of HSCP resulting from any redemptions or exchanges of Units from the HSCP Members, and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to the Company making payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and the Tax Receivable Bonus Plan. Although the actual timing and amount of any payments that the Company makes to the Tax Receivable Recipients cannot be estimated, it expects those payments will be significant. Any payments made by the Company to the Tax Receivable Recipients may generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to it. Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are not conditioned on any Tax Receivable Recipient’s continued ownership of Units or our shares after the completion of the RTO. Payments under the Tax Receivable Bonus Plan may, at times, be conditioned on the Tax Receivable Recipient’s continued employment by the Company. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has not made any payments in relation to the Tax Receivable Agreement or the Tax Receivable Bonus Plans.

Concurrently with the execution of the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement, Canopy Growth, Canopy USA, High Street, Acreage Holdings America, Inc. and certain individuals party to the Tax Receivable Agreement, amended the Tax Receivable Agreement in accordance with the Floating Share Agreement.

In connection with the foregoing, Canopy Growth issued 5,648,927 Canopy Shares on or about November 4, 2022 and 7,102,081 Canopy Shares on or about March 17, 2023 to the Tax Receivable Agreement Members.

New York outstanding litigation

On November 2, 2018, EPMMNY LLC (“EPMMNY”) filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, asserting claims against 16 defendants, including NYCANNA, Impire State Holdings LLC (“Impire”), NY Medicinal Research & Caring, LLC (“NYMRC”) (each, a wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary of High Street) and High Street. The Index Number for the action is 655480/2018. EPMMNY alleges that it was wrongfully deprived of a minority equity interest and management role in NYCANNA by its former partner, New Amsterdam Distributors, LLC (“New Amsterdam”), which attempted to directly or indirectly sell or transfer EPMMNY’s alleged interest in NYCANNA to other entities in 2016 and 2017, including Impire, NYMRC and High Street.

EPMMNY alleges that it is entitled to the value of its alleged minority interest in NYCANNA or minority ownership in NYCANNA. EPMMNY also alleges that certain defendants misused its alleged intellectual property and/or services, improperly solicited its employees, and aided and abetted or participated in the transfer of equity and/or business opportunities from EPMMNY.

High Street, along with the other Defendants, filed motions to dismiss on April 1, 2019. The motions were fully briefed and submitted to the Court as of July 18, 2019, and oral argument was heard on September 6, 2019. Following a hearing held during April 2022, in ruling on one dismissal argument advanced by several Defendants, the Court ruled that Plaintiff had the capacity to bring this action on behalf of EPMMNY. On July 13, 2023, the Court ruled on the remaining dismissal arguments, granting the vast majority of them. As part of its ruling, the Court dismissed without prejudice every claim against NYCANNA, Impire, NYMRC, and High Street, except the claims for unjust enrichment and quantum meruit (which also were permitted to proceed against other Defendants). The only other claim that the Court did not dismiss was for breach of contract against New Amsterdam.
On July 24, 2023, EPMMNY moved for leave to file a proposed amended complaint. The proposed amended complaint names several defendants, including NYCANNA, Impire, NYMRC, High Street, and Kevin Murphy, and contains similar allegations to those in the original complaint. High Street intends to oppose the motion for leave to amend and,if necessary, move to dismiss the new complaint.
High Street intends to continue vigorously defend this action, which the Company firmly believes is without merit. EPMMNY alleges that it was improperly deprived of its equity stake in NYCANNA before NYCANNA was acquired by High Street. High Street also believes it is also entitled to full indemnity from the claims asserted against it by EPMMNY pursuant to the purchase agreement pertaining to its acquisition of NYCANNA and personal guarantee by the largest shareholders of the seller.

Strategic Priorities
The Company believes its focused strategy is the key to continued improvements in its financial results and shareholder value. For the past few years, the Company was focused on three key strategic objectives - accelerating growth in its core markets, driving profitability, and strengthening the balance sheet. For 2023 and onwards, the Company has modified its strategic objectives in response to Company and industry developments - focus on cash, accelerate growth in core markets with core brands and prepare for Canopy USA.
Focus on Cash: A combination of economic conditions, lack of regulatory change and industry competition impacting pricing have negatively impacted the Company’s ability to generate cash flow to support operational requirements and capital activities. Additionally, these factors have likely limited the additional capital that might be available to the Company. While these factors continue, the Company will focus on maximizing the cash flow generated by operating activities and limit capital expenditures to only those projects that can be funded from existing resources and are expected to generate near-term returns.
Accelerating Growth in Core Markets with Core Brands: Through prior acquisitions and capital expenditures, management believes Acreage is well positioned for future success in several key markets as regulations regarding the use of cannabis continue to evolve. The Company will continue to focus its growth in its core markets where it can take advantage of and expand on the presence already established. Additionally, the Company has developed a portfolio of core brands that resonate with its customers. The Company will focus on ensuring that these core brands feature prominently in the markets where they are available.
Prepare for Canopy USA: During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a new strategic arrangement with Canopy Growth that, would allow Canopy Growth to acquire 100% of Acreage by (i) waiving its existing Floating Share option and entering into a new Floating Share arrangement agreement; and (ii) committing to exercise its Fixed Share option, all subject to required approvals and terms of the related agreements. Throughout 2023, the Company has taken all steps necessary to date to prepare for the eventual closing of these transactions, including holding a special meeting of shareholders to approve the Floating Share arrangement agreement.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
Sources and uses of cash (all amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
OurThe Company’s primary uses of capital include operating expenses, income taxes, capital expenditures and the servicing of outstanding debt and operating expense. Ourdebt. The Company’s primary sources of capital include funds generated by cannabis sales as well as financing activities. Through March 31, 2020, we haveJune 30, 2023, the Company had primarily used private financing as a source of liquidity for short-term working capital needs and general corporate purposes. In May
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash of $30,029, including $16,401 of cash and June 2020, we closedcash equivalents and $13,628 of restricted cash, respectively, on two separate financing transactions described in detail in Note 17 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. OurUnaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company’s ability to fund ourits operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other obligations depends on ourits future operating performance and ability to obtain financing, which are subject to prevailing economic conditions, as well aas financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond ourthe Company’s control.
We expectThe Company’s future contractual obligations include the following:
Leases
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had future operating lease obligations and future finance lease obligations of $31,745 and $15,988, respectively, with $2,030 and $453 payable within the next six months, respectively. The Company leases land, buildings, equipment and other capital assets which it plans to use for corporate purposes in addition to the production and sale of cannabis products. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and are expensed in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on the straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not have any material variable lease payments, and accounts for non-lease components separately from leases. Refer to Note 8 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Debt
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding debt with varying maturities for an aggregate principal amount of $243,968 (net of $14,741 of unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs), with $12,904 payable within the remaining six months. The Company has related future interest payments of $73,514, with $16,279 payable within the remaining six months. In April 2023, the Company reached an agreement with its lenders that our cash on handwould allow it to draw a further $15,000 under its current credit agreement, but such funds would be restricted for use to only eligible capital expenditures. As part of this agreement, the Company agreed to not draw additional funds under the Credit Agreement. Refer to Notes 10 and 17 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
The Company expects that its Cash and cash flows from operations, along with our ability to obtain private and/or public financing,equivalents of $16,401 as of June 30, 2023, will be adequate to support the future obligations discussed above as well as the capital needs of the existing operations as well asand expansion plans forover the next 12twelve months. While our liquidity risk has increased since our RTO transaction as a result of the Company’s rapid growth and continued expansion resulted in negative operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2019, we believe we have alleviated the risk. Please see the disclosures under “Basis of presentation and going concern” in Note 2 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net cash used in investing activities

Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily driven by $7,790 spent on capital expenditures to build out our owned operations and $11,537 advanced to entities, net of collections, with which we have a management or consulting services arrangement.

Partially offsetting these cash disbursements were cash proceeds of $74,768 from the maturing of short-term investments.


Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities

Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily driven by proceeds from raising $27,887 as a result of the issuance of warrants, $19,438 related to a draw down associated with a credit facility entered into on March 11, 2020, as well as $22,000 related to the collateral received pursuant to the draw down. This is partially offset by the repayment of short-term related party debt of $15,000.
Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily driven by $7,621 in debt repayments and $2,790 paid to settle taxes withheld.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments and other risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks include market, credit, liquidity, asset forfeiture, banking and interest rate risk.
Market risk

Strategic and operational risks arise if the Company fails to carry out business operations and/or to raise sufficient equity and/or debt financing. These strategic opportunities or threats arise from a range of factors that might include changing economic and political circumstances and regulatory approvals and competitor actions. The risk is mitigated by consideration of other potential development opportunities and challenges which management may undertake.
Credit risk

The Company’s exposure to non-payment or non-performance by its counterparties is a credit risk. The maximum credit exposure as of March 31, 2020 is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts, notes and other receivables. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to customers. The Company mitigates its credit risk on its notes and other receivables by securing collateral, such as capital assets, and by its review of the counterparties and their businesses. The Company considers a variety of factors when determining interest rates for notes receivable, including the creditworthiness of the counterparty, market interest rates prevailing at the note’s origination, and duration and terms of the note. The Company determined expected credit losses to be immaterial due to collateral held. Analysis of collateral held and future expected cash flows within the cannabis industry were considered in its expected credit loss assessment.


Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company endeavors to ensure that there is sufficient liquidity in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company’s cash holdings. As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease liabilities and long-term debt. The Company manages its liquidity risk by reviewing its capital requirements on an ongoing basis.

Going Concern
As reflected in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2020,June 30, 2023, as well as a net loss and negative cash flow from operating activities for the reporting period then ended.six months ended June 30, 2023. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

However, management believes that substantial doubt of ourabout the Company’s ability to meet ourits obligations for the next twelve months from the date these financial statements were first made available has been alleviated due to,are issued, can be mitigated by, but not limited to, (i) capital raised between January and June 2020, (ii) access to future capital commitments (see Note 17 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), (iii) continuedexpected long-term sales growth from ourthe Company’s consolidated operations, (iv)(ii) latitude as to the timing and amount of certain operating expenses as well as capital expenditures, (v) restructuring(iii) expense reduction plans that have already been put in place to improve the Company’s profitability,results, (iv) access to the U.S. and (vi)Canadian public equity markets.

Arrangement with Canopy Growth
IfOn June 19, 2019, the Company is unable to raise additional capital whenever necessary, it may be forced to decelerate or curtail its footprint buildout or other operational activities until such time as additional capital becomes available. Such limitation of the Company’s activities would allow it to slow its rate of spending and extend its use of cash until additional capital is raised. However, management cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in accomplishing any of our plans. Management also cannot provide any assurance as to unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next twelve months or thereafter which could increase our need to raise additional capital on an immediate basis.
Asset forfeiture risk

Because the cannabis industry remains illegal under U.S. federal law, any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry which are either used in the course of conducting such business, or are the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture. Even if the owner of the property were never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which, with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.
Banking risk

Notwithstanding that a majority of states have legalized medical marijuana, there has been no change in U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the marijuana industry. Given that U.S. federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there is a strong argument that banks cannot accept for deposit funds from businesses involved with the marijuana industry. Consequently, businesses involved in the marijuana industry often have difficulty accessing the U.S. banking system and traditional financing sources. The inability to open bank accounts with certain institutions may make it difficult to operate the businessesshareholders of the Company its subsidiaries and investee companies,of Canopy Growth separately approved the Prior Plan of Arrangement involving the two companies. Subsequently, on September 23, 2020, Acreage and leaves their cash holdings vulnerable. The Company has banking relationships in all jurisdictions in which it operates.Canopy Growth entered into an amending agreement and the Amended Arrangement became effective on September 23, 2020.
In addition,During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company maintains cashentered into a new strategic arrangement with various U.S. banksCanopy Growth that, would allow Canopy Growth to acquire 100% of Acreage by (i) waiving its existing Floating Share option and credit unions with balances in excessentering into a new Floating Share acquisition agreement; and (ii) committing to exercise its Fixed Share option, all subject to required approvals and terms of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund limits, respectively. The failurerelated agreements.
Refer to Note 13 of a bank or credit union where the Company has significant deposits could result in a loss of a portion of such cash balances in excess of the insured limit, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and the market price of the Company’s Subordinate Voting Shares.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s interest-bearing loans and borrowings are all at fixed interest rates. The Company considers cash flow interest rate risk to be immaterial.


Capital risk management

The Company considers its capital structure to include contributed capital, accumulated deficit, non-controlling interests and any other component of equity. The Company’s objectives when managing its capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, to meet its capital expenditures for its continued operations and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital within a framework of acceptable risk. The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it as appropriate given changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, issue new debt, or acquire or dispose of assets. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
EvaluationEvaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, and due to the material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting described below, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective as of March 31, 2020for the period ending June 30, 2023 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).GAAP. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(i)pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;
41


(ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and
(i)    pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;

(iii)provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
(ii)    provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and

(iii)    provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The review, testing and evaluation of key internal controls over financial reporting completed by the Company resulted in the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluding that a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting remained present as of June 30, 2023. Specifically, as a result of turnover and the availability of resources with the appropriate level of technical capabilities (including the impacts on staffing and recruiting and the general global labor shortage brought about by the global COVID-19 pandemic), the Company did not have effective staffing levels and adequate segregation of duties within several finance and accounting processes. Further, and as a result of this material weakness, the Company’s financial disclosures for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2021 incorrectly disclosed certain debt that was due 11 months after the balance sheet date as long-term rather than as current liabilities. Additionally, and as a result of this material weakness, the Company’s financial disclosures for the quarterly and annual periods ended June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020, March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021 incorrectly reported the weighted average shares outstanding which resulted in an incorrect determination of earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Finally, for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not have adequate processes or sufficient resources to adequately assess the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and cutoff over inventory.

The Company has begun to address the material weaknesses described above through the following actions. Although the Company previously believed the material weaknesses would be addressed by the second half of 2023, due to continued staff turnover and the availability of resources with appropriate levels of technical capabilities, the Company now expects to complete these actions in 2024:

a.Engaging third-party consultants with appropriate expertise to assist the finance and accounting department on an interim basis until key roles are filled;
b.Assessing finance and accounting resources to identify the areas and functions that lack sufficient personnel and recruiting for experienced personnel to assume these roles;
c.Further centralization of key accounting processes to enable greater segregation of duties;
d.Developing further training on segregation of duties; and
e.Designing and implementing additional compensating controls where necessary.

The Company is working diligently to remediate this material weakness by hiring qualified and capable personnel. Further, we will continue to evaluate and assess the staffing needs of the Company as the landscape and needs of the Company continue to evolve. While we are working diligently to remediate this material weakness, there is no assurance that this material weakness will be fully remediated by December 31, 2024, given continuing lasting impacts of COVID-19 on staffing and labor for companies within our industry and otherwise.
