Cresco Labs Inc.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

To the Shareholders of Cresco Labs Inc.:

Management of Cresco Labs Inc. and its subsidiaries (combined the “Company”) is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, including responsibility for significant accounting judgements and estimates in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and ensuring that all information in the annual report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements. This responsibility includes selecting appropriate accounting principles and methods, and making decisions affecting the measurement of transactions in which objective judgement is required.

In discharging its responsibilities for the integrity and fairness of the consolidated financial statements, management designs and maintains the necessary accounting systems and related internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are authorized, assets are safeguarded, and financial records are properly maintained to provide reliable information for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) is responsible for overseeing management in the performance of its financial reporting responsibilities, and for approving the financial information included in the annual report. The Board fulfils these responsibilities by reviewing the financial information prepared by management and discussing relevant matters with management and external auditors. The Audit Committee is also responsible for recommending the appointment of the Company’s external auditors.

Marcum LLP, an independent firm, is appointed by the shareholders to audit the consolidated financial statements and report directly to them; their report follows. The external auditors have full and free access to, and meet periodically and separately with, both the Audit Committee and management to discuss their audit findings.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders of Cresco Labs Inc.

Our Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Cresco Labs Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2019, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Basis For Our Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities For The Audit Of The Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis Of A Matter – Change In Accounting Principle

As disclosed in note 2 (q), the Company adopted IFRS 16, Leases, effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Our report is not modified with respect to this matter.

Other Matter

The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018, were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those consolidated financial statements on May 6, 2019.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Independent Auditors’ Report

Page 2

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities Of Management And Those Charged With Governance For The Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities For The Audit Of The Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independent Auditors’ Report

Page 3

The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Cresco Labs Inc. (“Cresco” or the “Company”), formerly known as Randsburg International Gold Corp. was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia under the Company Act (British Columbia) on July 6, 1990. On December 30, 1997, the Company changed its name from Randsburg Gold Corporation to Randsburg International Gold Corp. (“Randsburg”) and consolidated its common shares on a five-old for one-new basis.

On November 30, 2018, in connection with the reverse takeover (the “Transaction”) (as described further in Note 3), the Company (i) consolidated its outstanding Randsburg Common Shares on an 812.63 old for one (1) new basis, and (ii) filed an alteration to its Notice of Articles with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies to change its name from Randsburg to Cresco Labs Inc. and to amend the rights and restrictions of its existing classes of common shares, redesignate such classes as the class of Subordinate Voting Shares (“SVS”) and create the classes of Proportionate Voting Shares (“PVS”) and the Super Voting Shares (“MVS”).

Pursuant to the Transaction, among the Company (then Randsburg) and Cresco Labs, LLC (“Cresco Labs”), a series of transactions was completed on November 30, 2018 resulting in a reorganization of Cresco Labs and Randsburg and pursuant to which Randsburg became the indirect parent and sole voting unitholder of Cresco. The transaction constituted a reverse takeover of Randsburg by Cresco Labs under applicable securities laws. Cresco Labs was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of Illinois on October 8, 2013 and is governed by the Pre-Combination LLC Agreement. The Pre-Combination LLC Agreement was further amended and restated in connection with the completion of the Transaction.

The 2018 comparative amounts presented in the financial statements are those of Cresco Labs, LLC.

On December 3, 2018, the Company began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the ticker symbol “CL.” On March 6, 2019, Cresco shares were approved to be quoted on the Over-the-Counter Market (“OTC”) and is traded under the ticker symbol “CRLBF.” On August 13, 2019, the Company began trading its Euro-denominated shares on the Frankfort Stock Exchange (“FSE”) and are trading under the symbol “6CQ.”

The Company is licensed to cultivate, manufacture and sell wholesale and retail cannabis and wholesale and retail cannabis products. The Company operates in and/or has ownership interests in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, California, Maryland, Nevada, Arizona, New York and Massachusetts, pursuant to the Illinois Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act, the Pennsylvania Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Act, the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program, the California Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act, the Maryland Medical Marijuana Act, the Nevada Revised Statutes section 453A, the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, the New York Compassionate Care Act and the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission, respectively.

The Company’s head office is located at Suite 110, 400 W Erie St., Chicago, IL 60654 and the registered office is located at Suite 2200, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 2E9.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Preparation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) in effect for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on April 28, 2020.

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(b) Basis of Measurement

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for biological assets, which are measured at fair value less costs to sell; certain investments in associates, which are accounted for under the equity method; loans receivable measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”); and certain investments, derivative instruments, and deferred and contingent consideration, which are recorded at fair value. Historical cost is generally based upon the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets and the contractual obligation for liabilities.

Management has applied judgements in concluding that there remain no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, which judgments include effect of subsequent events (see note 26); and the Company’s ability to realize its assets and settle its obligations in the normal course of operations for at least twelve months from the date of the financial statements.

(c) Classification of Expenses

The expenses within the accompanying statements of operations are presented by function. See Note 16 for details of expenses by nature.

(d) Functional and Presentation Currency

The Company’s functional currency and that of all its subsidiaries, as determined by management, is the United States (“U.S.”) dollar. The Company’s presentation currency is the U.S. dollar. As such, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. All references to “C$” refer to Canadian dollars. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are re-measured into the functional currency using period-end exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

(e) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries with intercompany balances and transactions eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Company has the power over the investee, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The following are Cresco’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities over which the Company has control as of December 31, 2019:

Cresco U.S. Corp., which is wholly owned by the Company, is the sole manager of Cresco Labs, LLC; Cresco Labs, LLC is the sole owner and manager of Cresco Labs Note Issuer, LLC. Therefore, the Company controls Cresco Labs Note Issuer, LLC and has consolidated its results into the Consolidated financial statements.

Non-controlling interests (“NCI”) represent ownership interests in consolidated subsidiaries by parties that are not shareholders of the Company. They are shown as a component of total equity in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, and the share of income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests is shown as a component of net loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Changes in the parent company’s ownership that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash deposits in financial institutions, other deposits that are readily convertible into cash and cash on hand. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

(g) Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents amounts held in escrow related to the Company’s pending acquisitions. The Company held $5,050 thousand and $6,726 thousand of restricted cash as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

(h) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivables are classified as financial assets initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, less any provisions for impairment. When an account receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the provision. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

(i) Biological Assets

The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants and are valued at fair value less costs to sell up to the point of harvest, which becomes the basis for the cost of internally produced Work-in-process and Finished Goods inventory after harvest. The net unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in fair value less costs to sell during the year are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

10

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

All production costs related to biological assets are expensed as incurred and are included as Cost of sales – production costs. They include the direct cost of seeds and growing materials as well as other indirect costs such as utilities and supplies used in the growing process. Indirect labor for individuals involved in the growing and quality control process is also included, as well as depreciation on production equipment and overhead costs such as rent to the extent it is associated with the growing space. Unrealized fair value gains/losses on growth of biological assets are recorded in a separate line on the face of the income statement.

The Company capitalizes cost incurred after harvest to bring the products to their present location and condition in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 2 Inventories.

(j) Inventory

Inventories of purchased finished goods and packing materials are initially valued at cost and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventories of harvested cannabis are transferred from biological assets at their fair value less costs to sell at harvest which becomes the deemed cost. Any subsequent post-harvest costs are capitalized to inventory. Post-harvest costs include costs such as materials, labor and depreciation expense on equipment involved in manufacturing, packaging, labeling and inspection. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Products for resale and supplies and consumables are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value.

The Company reviews inventory for obsolete, redundant and slow-moving goods and any such inventory is written-down to net realizable value.

(k) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Land is recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the useful life of the asset. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. Equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the asset) is included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in the year the asset is derecognized.

Category		Estimated   Useful Life
Leasehold Improvements	Amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or
	estimated useful life of the improvement	8 - 15 years
Machinery and Equipment	Over the estimated useful life of the asset	5 - 15 years
Furniture and Fixtures	Over the estimated useful life of the asset	3 - 7 years
Vehicles	Over the estimated useful life of the asset	5 years
Website and Software	Over the estimated useful life of the asset	3 years
Computer Equipment	Over the estimated useful life of the asset	3 - 5 years
Buildings	Over the estimated useful life of the asset	30 - 40 years
Building Improvements	Over the estimated useful life of the asset	8 - 15 years

Repairs and maintenance that do not improve efficiency or extend economic life are charged to expense as incurred.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(l) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date or date of consolidation/control. Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets is recorded on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed the contractual period, if any, over the following terms:

Market Related Intangibles (Trade Names)	18 months
Customer Relationships	8 years
Non-Compete Agreements	4 - 5 years
Permit Application Fees	1 - 2 years

The estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each year end, and any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization. The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of licenses, which, for valuation purposes, represent the future benefits associated with the Company’s cultivation, processing, and dispensary licenses. Absent such license intangibles, the Company cannot continue as a going concern and as such, there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which these assets are expected to generate future cash inflows to the Company.

Definite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment when there is an indication of impairment. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently as warranted if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment (refer to Note 10 for additional detail on impairment tests). For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses.

(m) Investments in Associates

The Company determines how to account for investments based on the level of control it has over the investment. If control is determined, then the investment should be consolidated. Investments in which the Company has significant influence, but no control, are considered investments in associates. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but without control or joint control over those policies. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Interests in associates accounted for using the equity method are initially recognized at cost. The carrying value is then adjusted for the Company’s share of comprehensive income (loss), additional contributions and distributions from the investee. The carrying value of associates is assessed for impairment at each balance sheet date. Investments that the Company does not have control or significant influence over are first recognized at cost. At each reporting period, changes from the initial cost and fair value are recognized through profit and loss. The Company’s investments in equity-accounted investees are classified within Investments in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

(n) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for the acquisition of a business over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) or CGUs which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently as warranted if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets have been allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs representing the lowest level that the assets are monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment by comparing the carrying value of each CGU containing the assets to its recoverable amount (the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use); an

12

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognized in respect of a CGU are first allocated to the carrying value of goodwill and any excess is allocated to the carrying amount of assets in the CGU. Any goodwill impairment loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in the period in which the impairment is identified. Impairment losses on goodwill are not subsequently reversed. The Company’s most recent goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter did not result in the recognition of any impairment losses. The Company has not recorded any goodwill impairment for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

(o) Income Taxes

Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of current and deferred taxes not recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) or directly in equity.

Current Tax

Current tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred Tax

Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilized against future taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a right and intention to offset current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) or equity, respectively.

(p) Revenue Recognition

The Company’s primary source of revenue is from wholesale of cannabis products to dispensary locations and direct retail sales to eligible customers at the Company owned dispensaries.

The Company adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective approach as of the date of initial application on January 1, 2018, with no revision of comparative period amounts. As the effect of adopting IFRS 15 did not have a material impact on the financial statements, there was no adjustment made to the opening balance of equity at the date of initial application.

The standard includes a five-step model for contracts with customers as follows:

1. Identify the contract with a customer;

2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

3. Determine the transaction price, which is the total consideration provided by the customer;

4. Allocate the transaction price among the performance obligations in the contract based on their relative fair values; and

5. Recognize revenue when the relevant criteria are met for each unit (at a point in time or over time).

13

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

The Company recognizes revenue upon satisfaction of the performance obligation, when control of the promised goods is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods, upon delivery and acceptance by wholesale and retail customers.

Contract Costs

In accordance with IFRS 15, incremental costs to obtain a contract are capitalized and amortized over the contract term if the cost are expected to be recoverable. The Company does not capitalize incremental costs to obtain a contract where the contract duration is expected to be one year or less. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any costs capitalized.

(q) Change in Accounting Policy—Leases

In January 2016, the IASB published IFRS 16 Leases, replacing IAS 17 Leases IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease. IFRS 16 introduced a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets for the right to use as well as lease liabilities for the outstanding lease payments. The Company adopted IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application, without revising prior periods.

IFRS 16 permits entities to elect a number of practical expedients to simplify the adoption of IFRS 16 as well as the ongoing application of IFRS 16.

Upon adoption of IFRS 16, the Company elected to adopt the following practical expedients:

• The existing leases were not reassessed at the initial application date to determine whether or not they are leases under the criteria of IFRS 16. Instead, contracts classified as leases under IAS 17 or IFRIC 4 will continue to be accounted for as leases;

• Leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application of the standard were treated as short-term leases and recognized as rent expense within Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term; and

• A single discount rate was applied to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

On an ongoing basis, the Company elected to adopt the following practical expedient:

• The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use (“ROU“) assets and lease liabilities where the total lease term is less than or equal to 12 months. The payments for such leases are recognized as rent expense within SG&A in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has real estate leases for retail stores, cultivation facilities, corporate offices, and equipment leases. At inception of a contract, the Company estimates whether the contract includes a lease. A contract contains a lease if it includes enforceable rights and obligations under which the right to control the use of an identified asset is conveyed for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company recognized a ROU asset and a lease liability at the commencement date – the date when the asset is available for use by the lessee.

The Company assesses at lease commencement whether it is reasonably certain to exercise extension or termination options. The Company reassesses its lease portfolio to determine whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the options if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances within its control. The extension options which are considered reasonably certain to be exercised are mainly those for which operational decisions have been made which make the leased assets vital to the continued relevant business activities.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

Liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities include the value of the following payments:

• Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;

• The exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

• Penalties for early termination of the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising an option to terminate the lease.

The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The lease liability is decreased by cash paid less interest expense incurred. The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an extension, purchase, or termination option.

ROU assets are measured at cost and are comprised of the following:

• The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

• Lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;

• Any initial direct costs; and

• An estimate of costs of dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or the underlying asset, if applicable.

The ROU asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement date to the end of the lease term. The depreciation expense on ROU assets replaces rent expense. The value of the ROU asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain revaluations of the lease liability.

On initial application, the Company elected to measure the ROU assets on a lease-by-lease basis at either 1) an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments or deferred rent payments or 2) at its carrying amount as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date but discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019.

On initial application, the lease payments were discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate was 13%.

The Company recognized a ROU asset of $32,519 thousand, lease liability of $37,707 thousand, accumulated deficit of $1,466 thousand, a reduction of deferred rent of $2,196 thousand and a reduction of non-controlling interest of $1,526 thousand at January 1, 2019. The cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit and NCI was a result of measuring the ROU asset for certain leases as if IFRS 16 had been applied since their respective commencement dates.

Effect of discounting		(57,672	)
Lease liability recognized as of January 1, 2019	$	37,707

Refer to Note 8 for additional information on the impact of IFRS 16.

(r) Share and Unit-Based Compensation

The Company measures equity settled share and unit-based payments based on their fair value at the grant date and recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. Expected forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant and subsequently adjusted if further information indicates actual forfeitures may vary from the original estimate. The impact of the revision of the original estimate is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate. For share and unit-based payments granted to non-employees, the compensation expense is measured at the fair value of the good and services received except where the fair value cannot be estimated in which case it is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The fair value of share and unit-based compensation to non-employees is periodically re-measured until counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the period and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity instruments.

For awards where the holder has the election of settling their award in either cash or equity, the fair value of share-based compensation is remeasured at the end of each reporting period until the corresponding awards vest.

(s) Financial Instruments

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRS 9 requires all recognized financial assets to be measured at amortized cost or fair value in subsequent accounting periods following initial recognition. IFRS 9 also amends the requirements around hedge accounting, and introduces a single, forward looking expected loss impairment model. All financial assets and financial liabilities, in respect of financial instruments, are recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are incremental and are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expires, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. The classification of financial instruments dictates how these assets and liabilities are measured subsequently in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(i) Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

Financial instruments are classified as FVTPL when they are held for trading. A financial instrument is held for trading if it was acquired for the purpose of sale in the near term. Derivative financial instruments that are not designated and effective as hedging instruments are also classified as FVTPL. Financial instruments classified as FVTPL are stated at fair value with any changes in fair value recognized in earnings for the period. Financial assets in this category include certain short-term investments, derivatives and contingent consideration.

(ii) Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost

Financial assets measured at amortized cost are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are initially recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Financial assets in this category include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables, other receivables, and loans receivable.

Loans receivable primarily consist of loans to entities in which the Company has a potential future investment. These loans are measured at either FVTPL if they have derivative qualities or at amortized cost, less expected credit losses.

(iii) Impairment of Financial Assets

The Company assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

The Company recognizes expected credit losses (“ECL”) for trade receivables based on the simplified approach under IFRS 9. The simplified approach to the recognition of expected losses does not require the Company to track the changes in credit risk; rather, the Company recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date from the date of the trade receivable.

Evidence of impairment may include indications that a debtor or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Trade receivables are reviewed qualitatively on a case-by-case basis to determine whether they need to be written off.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the Company recognizes loss allowances for ECLs on its financial assets measured at amortized cost. ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. The Company applies a three-stage approach to measure ECLs. The Company measures loss allowance at an amount equal to 12 months of expected losses for performing loans receivable if the credit risk at the reporting date has not increased significantly since initial recognition (Stage 1) and at an amount equal to lifetime expected losses on loans receivable that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk since origination (Stage 2) and at an amount equal to lifetime expected losses which are credit impaired (Stage 3).

17

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

The Company considers a significant increase in credit risk to have occurred if contractual payments are more than 30 days past due and considers the loans receivable to be in default if they are 90 days past due. A significant increase in credit risk or default may have also occurred if there are other qualitative factors (including forward looking information) to consider; such as borrower specific information (i.e., change in credit assessment).

Objective evidence of impairment of financial assets carried at amortized cost exists if the counterparty is experiencing significant financial difficulty, there is a breach of contract, concessions are granted to the counterparty that would not normally be granted, or it is probable the counterparty will enter into bankruptcy or a financial reorganization.

(iv) Financial Liabilities Measured at Amortized Cost

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are recognized initially at fair value net of any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Other financial liabilities are de-recognized when the obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. Financial liabilities in this category include accounts payable and accrued liabilities and deferred consideration and other payables.

Summary of the Company’s Classification and Measurements of Financial Assets and Liabilities

	IFRS 9
	Classification	Measurement
Cash and cash equivalents	FVTPL	Fair value
Restricted cash	Amortized cost	Amortized cost
Accounts receivable	Amortized cost	Amortized cost
Loans receivable	Amortized cost or FVTPL	Amortized cost or fair value
Investments	FVTPL	Fair value
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and Other long-
term liabilities	Amortized cost	Amortized cost
Deferred consideration and other payables	Amortized cost or FVTPL	Amortized cost or fair value
Derivative liabilities and contingent consideration	FVTPL	Fair value

(t) Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding, for the effects of all dilutive potential shares, which are comprised of redeemable LLC shares, warrants, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and options issued. Items with an anti-dilutive impact are excluded from the calculation. The number of shares included with respect to options, warrants and RSUs is computed using the treasury stock method.

(u) Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates, and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements under IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities. Estimates and related assumptions are based on historical experience and other relevant factors. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis for reasonableness and relevancy. Where revisions are required, they are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised for the current as well as future periods that are affected.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

Significant judgements, estimates, and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are described below.

(i) ECL on Loan Receivables and Trade Receivables

The Company calculates ECLs for trade receivables based on the historical default rates over the expected life of the trade receivable and adjusts for forward-looking estimates, which is determined through the exercise of judgement. The Company calculates ECLs for loan receivables by considering cash shortfalls on a discounted basis it would incur in various default scenarios for prescribed future periods and multiplying the shortfalls by the probability of each scenario occurring, which is determined through the exercise of judgement. The Company’s ECL models rely on forward looking information and economic inputs, such as default rates, industry growth rate, licensing rules, etc. The inputs and models used for calculating expected credit losses may not always capture all characteristics of the market at the date of the financial statements. To reflect this, qualitative adjustments or overlays may be made as temporary adjustments using expert credit judgement. The allowance the Company records, if any, is the sum of these probability weighted outcomes.

(ii) Biological assets and Inventory

The valuation of biological assets at the point of harvest is the cost basis for all cannabis-based inventory and thus any critical estimates and judgements related to the valuation of biological assets are also applicable for inventory. In calculating the value of the biological assets and inventory, the estimates management makes includes estimating the stage of growth of the cannabis up to the point of harvest, harvesting costs, selling costs, average or expected selling prices and expected yields for the cannabis plants. In calculating final inventory values, management compares the inventory cost to estimated net realizable value. The Company must also determine if the cost of any inventory exceeds its net realizable value, such as cases where prices have decreased, or inventory has spoiled or has otherwise been damaged. Further information on estimates used in determining the fair value of biological assets is contained in Note 5.

(iii) Estimated Useful Lives, Depreciation of Property and Equipment, and Amortization of Intangible Assets

Depreciation of property and equipment is dependent upon estimates of useful lives which are determined through the exercise of judgement.

Amortization of intangible assets is dependent upon estimates of useful lives which are determined through the exercise of judgement.

(iv) Property and Equipment Impairment

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets at the end of each reporting period whenever there is any indication that a long-lived asset is impaired. Such indicators include evidence of physical damage, indicators that the economic performance of the asset is worse than expected, or that the decline in asset value is more than the passage of time or normal use, or significant changes occur with an adverse effect on the Company’s business. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. An asset is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The Company measures impairment based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the long-lived asset. The fair value is determined primarily by using the projected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved as well as market valuations. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that the fair values are reduced for an estimate of the cost to dispose or abandon.

(v) Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets has been impaired. In order to determine if the value of these assets has been impaired, the CGU to which the assets have been allocated must be valued using present value techniques. When applying this valuation technique, the Company relies on a number of factors, including historical results, business plans, forecasts, market data and discount rates. Changes in the conditions for these judgements and estimates can significantly affect the assessed value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. The Company has determined that the goodwill associated with all acquisitions belongs to each respective state as this is the lowest level at which management monitors goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. See Note 10 for additional detail.

(vi) Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions

Determination of an acquisition as a business combination or an asset acquisition depends on whether the assets acquired constitute a business. The classification can have a significant impact on the accounting on and subsequent to the acquisition date.

a. Business Combinations

A business combination is a transaction or event in which an acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses and is accounted for by applying the acquisition method. The total consideration transferred in a business combination is the sum of the fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity interests issued by the acquirer in exchange for control of the acquiree. The acquisition date is the date where the Company obtains control of the acquiree. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their acquisition date fair values, except for deferred taxes and share-based payment awards where IFRS 3 Business Combinations provides exceptions to recording the amounts at fair value. Acquisition costs are expensed to profit or loss.

In determining the fair value of all identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired, the most significant estimates relate to contingent consideration and intangible assets. Management exercises judgement in estimating the probability and timing of when contingent payments are expected to be made and at what amounts, which is used as the basis for estimating fair value. For any intangible asset identified, depending on the type of intangible asset and the complexity of determining its fair value, an independent valuation expert or management may develop the fair value, using appropriate valuation techniques, which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future net cash flows. The evaluations are linked closely to the assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of these assets and any changes in the discount rate applied.

Non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, is recognized either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets, determined on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. For each acquisition, the excess of total consideration over the fair value of previously held equity interest prior to obtaining control, and the non-controlling interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, is recorded as goodwill.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

b. Asset Acquisitions

Acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business combination are accounted for as an asset acquisition. Consideration paid for an asset acquisition is allocated to the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. Goodwill is not recorded as a result of an asset acquisition.

(vii) Control Over the Investee, Principles of Consolidation

The Company examines three elements to determine whether control exists. When all of these three elements of control are present, then an investor is considered to control an investee and consolidation is required. When one or more of the elements is not present, an investor will not consolidate but instead be required to determine the nature of its relationship with the investee. The three elements of control that serve as the basis of consolidation include: identify the investee, understand the purpose and design of the investee, and identify the relevant activities of the investee and how decisions about these relevant activities are made. The Company exercises its judgement when determining control over an investee in when it has all of the following attributes: power over the investee, such as the ability to direct relevant activities of the investee; exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, such as returns that are not fixed and have the potential to vary with performance of the investee; and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns, such as identifying the link between power and returns.

Cresco Labs Inc. through Cresco U.S. Corp has control over Cresco Labs, LLC. Despite holding only a minority interest, the Company has the full decision-making power over Cresco Labs. According to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, an investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The Company has the right to direct all the relevant activities of Cresco Labs and to affect its returns under the amended and restated LLC Agreement. The Company is also exposed to variable returns through its own shareholding in the Cresco Labs. The Company also exercises judgement in applying the provisions of IFRS 10 to determine when to consolidate its acquired entities, which may occur before the related transactions have been fully funded. See Note 14 for additional information.

(viii) Share-Based Compensation

In calculating the share-based compensation expense, key estimates such as the rate of forfeiture of awards granted, the expected life of options, the volatility of the Company’s stock price and the risk-free interest rate are used.

(ix) Income Tax

Provisions for taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by taxing authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

(x) Implementation of IFRS 16

The adoption of IFRS 16 Leases required, as of January 1, 2019, the Company to assess its significant judgements and certain key estimates when applying the standard in Note 2(q) and Note 8.

21

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

Critical judgements required in the application of IFRS 16 include the following:

• Identifying whether a contract or part of a contract includes a lease at inception of the contract. The Company’s assessment includes the exercise of judgement about whether the contract depends on a specific asset, whether the Company obtains substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset, and whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset and non-lease components;

• Identifying lease components and allocating the consideration to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of each lease component. The Company assesses each lease component for a right to use an underlying asset and, if necessary, determines the relative stand-alone price for each lease component based on current market prices;

• Determining whether it is reasonably certain that an extension, purchase or termination option will be exercised, on a lease by lease basis. The Company considers all facts and circumstances and examines whether there is an economic incentive or penalty affecting the decision to exercise an option; and

• Establishing whether there are multiple leases in an arrangement. The Company’s assessment includes the exercise of judgement whether it has the right to control multiple assets within a contract.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty in the application of IFRS 16 include the following:

• Estimating the lease term. The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of the lease at the commencement date, adjusted for any purchase, renewal or termination options it deems reasonably certain to exercise;

• Determining the appropriate incremental borrowing rate specific to each leased asset. The Company establishes incremental borrowing rates used as discount factors in discounting payments reflecting the Company’s borrowing rate, duration of lease term and credit spread; and

• Assessing whether a ROU asset is impaired if indicators are present.

Unanticipated changes in these judgements or estimates could affect the identification and determination of the fair value of lease liabilities and ROU assets at initial recognition, as well as the subsequent measurement of lease liabilities and ROU assets. Changes in the economic environment or changes in the cannabis and retail industry may impact Management’s assessment of lease terms, and any changes in Management’s estimate of lease terms may have a material impact on the Company’s statement of financial position and Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. In addition, the Company’s assessed incremental borrowing rates are subject to change mainly due to macroeconomic changes in the environment and cannabis industry and the Company’s creditworthiness.

These items could potentially result in changes to amounts reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and Financial Position of the Company.

(xi) Sale and Leaseback Accounting

A sale and leaseback transaction involves the transfer of an asset to another entity and the leaseback of the same asset. The Company applies IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 when accounting for sale and leaseback transactions. A sale and leaseback is recognized as a sale when the control of the asset has been transferred to the purchaser. The Company recognizes any gain or loss related to the transfer of rights of the asset to the buyer-lessor and measures the ROU asset arising from the leaseback at the retained portion of the previous carrying amount.

(v) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following IFRS standards have been recently issued by the IASB. Pronouncements that are not applicable to the Company have been excluded herein.

(i) IAS 28 Long-term Interests (“IAS 28”)

In October 2017, the IASB amended IAS 28, Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures. The amendments were added to clarify that an entity applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture that form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture but to which the equity method is not applied. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

(ii) IFRS 3 Business Combination (“IFRS 3”)

In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations, Definition of Business. The amendments clarify that to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. It also narrowed the definitions of a business and of outputs by focusing on goods and services provided to customers and by removing the reference to an ability to reduce costs and removed the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing inputs or processes and continuing to produce outputs. In addition, the amendments added an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business.

The amendments must be applied to transactions that are either business combinations or asset acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Consequently, entities do not have to revisit such transactions that occurred in prior periods. Earlier application is permitted and must be disclosed. The Company elected early application for interim and annual periods beginning July 1, 2019. There was no impact from the adoption of IFRS 3 amendments related to the year ended December 31, 2019.

3. REVERSE TAKEOVER TRANSACTION

On October 10, 2018, Randsburg and the Company announced that they had entered into a binding letter agreement to affect a transaction that resulted in a reverse takeover of Randsburg by Cresco.

The Transaction was treated for accounting purposes as an asset acquisition of Randsburg by Cresco. In consideration for the acquisition of Randsburg, the Company issued SVS of Cresco for each outstanding common share of Randsburg totaling approximately 258,205 SVS to shareholders of Randsburg.

Additionally, each Randsburg share purchase warrant which gives the holder the right to acquire shares in the common stock of Randsburg when presented for execution will be exchanged for a warrant which will give the holder the right to acquire SVS of Cresco on the same basis as the exchange of Randsburg common shares for Cresco SVS. These warrants were classified as derivative liabilities and measured at FVTPL. They have been included in the purchase consideration at their fair value of approximately $146 thousand based on the Black-Scholes pricing model.

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

The Company accounted for the Transaction as a deemed issuance of shares for the purchase of the net nil net assets of Randsburg. A non-cash listing expense of $1,839 thousand is based on the following: 258,205 shares measured at a fair value of $6.54 per share ($1,693 thousand) and 53,325 purchase warrants measured at a fair value of $2.74 per share ($146 thousand). As a result of the reverse takeover, the Company recorded $1,654 thousand of transaction costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as a selling, general, and administrative expense during the period ended December 31, 2018. See Note 16 for further detail. As part of the Transaction, unit holders of Cresco Labs, LLC exchanged their units for a new class of redeemable units in Cresco Labs, LLC. Each Redeemable unit is only exchangeable for the equivalent of one SVS in Cresco Labs Inc. (without any obligation to redeem in cash). On close of the transaction, the former unit holders of Cresco Labs, LLC controlled approximately 59% of the continuing entity through the Redeemable units. These unit holders hold an interest only in Cresco Labs, LLC; they participate in the earnings of only Cresco Labs, LLC and not the earnings of the combined entity. Therefore, in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations, this is presented as a non-controlling interest in the reverse takeover, the value of which was recognized at its proportionate interest in the pre-combination carrying amounts of Cresco Labs, LLC. See Note 12 for further detail.

4. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, Accounts receivable consisted of the following:

($ in thousands)	2019			2018
Accounts receivable, gross	$	16,726		$	3,678
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(271	)		(20	)
Total accounts receivable, net	$	16,455		$	3,658

See Note 20 for the analysis of accounts receivable aging and disclosure of bad debt expense.

5. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants. The changes in the carrying value of biological assets for the periods ending December 31, 2019 and 2018 consisted of the following:

($ in thousands)
Biological assets at January 1, 2018	$	2,637
Biological Assets Acquired (Note 14)		4,154
Transferred to inventory upon harvest		(41,681	)
Changes in fair value of biological assets		52,563
Biological assets at December 31, 2018		17,673
Biological Assets Acquired (Note 14)		1,436
Transferred to inventory upon harvest		(96,849	)
Changes in fair value of biological assets		109,531
Biological assets at December 31, 2019	$	31,791

Biological assets are measured at fair value less costs to sell until harvest. All production costs related to biological assets are expensed as incurred. The fair value measurements for biological assets have been categorized as Level 3 fair values based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. The fair value was determined using an expected cash flow model which assumes the biological assets at the balance sheet date will grow to maturity, be harvested and converted into finished goods inventory and sold in the retail and medical cannabis market.

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

This model utilizes the following significant assumptions:

Inputs and assumptions	Calculation method	Effect changes of unobservable inputs has on fair value
Selling price per gram, less cost to sell	Based on observable market data or calculated wholesale prices with reasonable margins.	An increase in selling price per gram would increase the fair value of biological assets.
Attrition rate	Based on weighted average number of plants lost during each stage of production.	An increase in attrition rate would result in a decrease to the fair value of biological assets.
Average yield per plant	Based on the average number of grams of dried cannabis inventory expected to be harvested from each cannabis plant.	An increase to the average yield per plant would result in an increase to the fair value of biological assets.
Cumulative stage of completion in the production process	Based on an average number of days in production over a total average grow cycle of between 15 and 20 weeks.	An increase to the average stage of completion of the plants would result in an increase to the fair value of biological assets.

The Company’s estimates are, by their nature, subject to change and differences from the above assumptions will be reflected in the unrealized gain or loss on changes in fair value of biological assets in future periods.

The Company estimates the harvest yields for cannabis at various stages of growth. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, it was expected that the Company’s biological assets would yield approximately 13,142 thousand and 6,506 thousand grams, respectively.

The Company has quantified the sensitivity of the inputs in relation to biological assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and expects the following effect on fair value as shown in the table below:

			Effect on fair value ($ in thousands)
Significant inputs & assumptions	Range of inputs	Sensitivity	2019			2018
Selling price per gram, less cost to sell	$1.77 to $6.55	Increase 5%	$	6,360		$	2,759
		Decrease 5%		(6,360	)		(2,759	)
Average yield per plant	34 grams to 188 grams	Increase 5%		1,590			884
		Decrease 5%		(1,590	)		(884	)

6. INVENTORY

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, inventory was comprised primarily of cannabis and cannabis-related products. The Company wrote off $8,421 thousand and $nil of inventory during years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, due to obsolescence primarily related to damaged work-in-process inventory in its Ohio operation. This write-off is included in the Realized changes in fair value of inventory sold presented on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had inventory reserves of $173 thousand.

^(a)  Other Intangibles includes market related intangibles and non-compete agreements.

Amortization expense of $2,911 thousand and $916 thousand was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, of which $1,364 thousand and $458 thousand, respectively, is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses, with the remainder in Cost of sales – production costs and ending inventory.

As of December 31, 2019, ending inventory includes $253 thousand of capitalized amortization. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, $1,371 and $534 thousand of amortization expense was recorded to Cost of sales – production costs, which includes $88 and $83 thousand, respectively, related to amortization capitalized in prior periods.

License intangible assets of $65,400 thousand were acquired from business combinations (Note 14) and are classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets as the Company cannot continue as a going concern without such licenses.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets have been allocated to CGUs representing the lowest level that the assets are monitored for internal reporting purposes. CGUs are determined based on the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of cash inflows from other assets or group of assets. Management has determined the Company’s CGUs that hold such goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets to be Illinois, Maryland, Arizona, New York and Massachusetts.

Annual impairment testing involves determining the recoverable amount of the CGU group to which goodwill is allocated and comparing this to the carrying value of the CGU groups. The measurement of the recoverable amount of the CGU groups was calculated based on the higher of the CGUs fair value less costs to sell or value in use, which are Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

The calculation of the recoverable amount based on discounting the future cash flows (value in use) was based on the following key assumptions:

• Cash flows were projected based on the Company’s long-term business plan for the periods 2020 through 2024.

• Cash flows beyond 2024 were projected to grow at a perpetual growth rate, which was estimated to be 3%.

• The business plan contains forecasts based on past experience of actual operating results in conjunction with anticipated future growth opportunities. While the forecast does assume some base business expansion, largely related to synergies gained through further incorporation of recent acquisitions into the Company’s infrastructure, the primary engine of growth is strategic in nature and is consistent with the projects and expectations as articulated in the Company’s strategic plan.

• Discount rates applied in determining the recoverable amount of the CGU groups were 14.5% based on the pre-tax weighted average cost of capital of each CGU group and other competitors in the industry. The values assigned to the key assumptions represent Management’s assessment of future trends in the industries in which the CGU groups operate and are based on both external and internal sources and historical trend data.

The Company believes a reasonable increase or decrease in the discount rates or perpetual growth rates used in the analysis would not cause the recoverable amount to decrease below the carrying value.

11. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND OTHER ACCRUED EXPENSES

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, Accounts payable and other accrued expenses were comprised of the following:

As long as any PVS remain outstanding, the Company will not, without the consent of the holders of the PVS and Super Voting Shares by separate special resolution, prejudice or interfere with any right or special right attached to the PVS. The holder of PVS shall have the right to receive dividends, out of any cash or other assets legally available therefore, pari passu as to dividends and any declaration or payment of any dividend on the SVS.

iv. Pre-RTO Capital Structure

Prior to the reverse takeover transaction, the Company was authorized to have six classes of units (the “Units”), designated as Founder’s Units (“Founder’s Units”), Class A Units (“A Units”), Class B Units (“B Units”), Class C Units (“C Units”), Class D Units (“D Units”), Class E Units (“E Units”), and Class F Units (“F Units”). Under the Company’s Operating Agreement (the “Agreement”), the Founder’s Units, A Units, B Units, C Units, E Units and F Units were identical in all respects except that C Units are non-voting. To the extent the Founder’s Units represented not less than fifteen percent of all outstanding Units, the Founder’s Units, as a class, had voting rights equal to the greater of the actual voting rights of the Founder’s Units and fifty percent plus one vote of the aggregate voting rights of the Company’s outstanding units. If the Founder’s Units represented less than fifteen percent of the outstanding Units, the Founder’s Units, A Units, B Units, E Units and F Units would vote as a single class, with each Unit representing one vote.

D Units are issued pursuant to a Profits Interest Plan, which is defined as any profits interest award plan of the Company, as amended, modified, supplemented, or replaced from time to time. D Units were awarded to individuals at fair value and had no voting rights.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

The fair value of stock options granted was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following range of assumptions at the time of the grant:

	2019	2018
Risk-free annual interest rate	1.97% to 2.49%	2.53% to 2.77%
Expected annual dividend yield	0%	0%
Expected stock price volatility	77% to 88%	49% to 99%
Expected life of stock options	5.5 to 7 years	2.5 to 7 years
Forfeiture rate	0% to 3%	0%
Fair value at grant date	$3.88 to $8.26	$0.00 to $3.71
Stock price at grant date	$5.90 to $11.25	$1.14 to $6.75
Exercise price range	$5.90 to $11.25	$1.14 to $6.50

Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group of publicly traded companies. The expected life in years represents the period of time that options issued are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. treasury bills with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the weighted-average fair value of stock options granted was $5.52 and $1.39 per option, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, stock options outstanding have a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 8.7 years.

Restricted stock units

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company established an RSU program to provide employees an additional avenue to participate in the successes of the Company. The fair value of RSUs granted was determined by the fair value of the Company’s share price on the date of grant. A number of RSUs granted have the ability to settle in cash. These awards have been determined to be liability-classified awards and are required to be marked-to-market as of the end of each reporting period. The Company recorded $339 thousand in Deferred consideration, contingent consideration and other payables on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position related to these awards.

A summary of outstanding RSUs is provided below:

	Number of RSUs outstanding		Weighted average fair value
Outstanding—January 1, 2018		—		—
Granted		404,215	$	8.58
Outstanding—December 31, 2019		404,215	$	8.58
Liability classified as of December 31, 2019		63,554	$	6.86

The Company recorded compensation expense in the amount of $1,220 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019, of which $268 thousand is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses, with the remainder in Cost of sales – production costs and ending inventory.

Unrecognized compensation expense as of December 31, 2019 is $1,856 thousand and will be recognized over the course of the next four years.

As of December 31, 2019, ending inventory includes $944 thousand of capitalized compensation expense related to both options and RSUs. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, $821 and $302 thousand, respectively, of compensation expense was recorded to Cost of sales – production costs, which includes $39 thousand and $nil, respectively, related to compensation expense capitalized to inventory in prior periods.

No goodwill for any acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Additionally, per IFRS 3, the Company will retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date. During the measurement period, the Company will also recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. The measurement period ends as soon as the Company receives the information it was seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date or learns that more information is not obtainable. However, the measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation for these transactions is substantially complete, with the exception of certain amounts related to valuation of certain fixed assets, intangible assets and income taxes. Purchase accounting is expected to be completed within twelve months from the acquisition dates.

No goodwill for any acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. Additionally, per IFRS 3, the Company will retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date. During the measurement period, the Company recognized additional goodwill of $13 thousand related to final adjustments to deferred consideration. The above purchase price allocation schedule has been updated for this measurement period adjustment. The Company did not retrospectively restate prior year balances due to immateriality of the adjustments.

On November 26, 2018, Cresco Labs, LLC acquired MedMar to expand its retail footprint in the Illinois market. MedMar operates two medical cannabis dispensaries in Chicago’s Wrigleyville neighborhood and the northern Illinois city of Rockford.

Cresco Labs, LLC acquired 87.6% and 75.0% of the issued and outstanding units of MedMar Lakeview and MedMar Rockford, respectively, for aggregate consideration of $30,538 thousand, comprised of $7,244 thousand cash, $19,498 thousand equity, and $3,796 thousand contingent consideration. Certain agreements were executed giving the Company de facto control before cash and share consideration was settled. The equity consideration is comprised of 3,020 thousand Cresco F Units convertible to publicly traded shares to be issued to the sellers, valued at the Company’s RTO price of $6.54. The contingent consideration consists of two components. The first provides for a $1,000 thousand cash payment to the sellers of MedMar for each additional dispensary license that MedMar obtains in the 30 months following the acquisition, not to exceed an aggregate $2,000 thousand. The fair value of this component was $1,096 thousand as of the acquisition date; without discounting, the amount is $1,434 thousand. The discount rate used in the valuation was 10.8%. The second component provides for the Company to reimburse the sellers for certain income tax payments. The first component relates to transfer tax, for maximum contingent consideration of $2,000 thousand, which was recorded by the Company in its entirety. The second component relates to certain tax distributions to owners of a maximum of $900 thousand, of which the Company has recorded $700 thousand. This amount has been recorded as contingent consideration of $2,000 thousand and deferred consideration and other payables of $700 thousand. Of the total purchase consideration, $17,143 thousand was allocated to MedMar Lakeview and $13,395 thousand was allocated to MedMar Rockford. Refer to the table above for detailed information about the purchase price allocation.

Although the MedMar cash and share consideration was not yet funded as of the acquisition date or as of December 31, 2018, due to provisions contained in certain agreements related to the acquisition, the Company has the full decision-making power over both MedMar Lakeview and MedMar Rockford. According to IFRS 10.6, an investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

As of October 1, 2018, the investment had a carrying value of $1,001 thousand and a fair value of $3,641 thousand.

Accordingly, a gain of $2,640 thousand was recorded in Other (expense) income, net. The sellers could elect to receive their purchase consideration in either cash or shares as a later date. This share consideration was measured based on 80% of the expected RTO share price. Due to number of shares being variable at the

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments are held at amortized cost (adjusted for impairments or expected credit losses, as applicable) or FVTPL. The carrying values of financial instruments held at amortized cost approximate their fair values as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 due to their nature and relatively short maturity date. Financial assets and liabilities with embedded derivative features are carried at FVTPL.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs to fair value measurements. The three levels of hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Unless otherwise noted, the Company considers all financial instruments classified as FVTPL to be Level 1 instruments.

There have been no transfers between fair value levels valuing these assets during the year.

(i) Short-Term Loans Receivable with Derivative Features

In conjunction with its agreement to purchase membership interest in Lighthouse equal to a 25% interest in Lighthouse’s subsidiary, Nevada Business Services Group, dated January 26, 2018, the Company entered into an escrow and loan arrangement, with certain embedded derivative. In the first quarter of 2018, the Company paid approximately $5,500 thousand in cash. The Company also transferred 500,000 Class E Units to be issued upon closing, valued at approximately $567 thousand, which are held in escrow until certain contingent events occur and recorded as shares to be issued. Portions of the Company’s escrow payments are drawn as a loan, with a stated interest rate of 6% measured at FVTPL.

On August 12, 2019, the Company settled its outstanding short-term loan receivable with Lighthouse through receipt of Lighthouse membership units approximating 1.2% ownership of the parent company and the issuance of a new secured convertible promissory note that is convertible, at the Company’s discretion, into additional membership units approximating 1% ownership of the parent company. The new loan has a maturity of 18 months and an option for the Company to convert into additional membership units. This new loan had a fair value of $2,758 thousand in August 2019 and was held as a long-term loan receivable measured at FVTPL. The Company recognized an unrealized loss of $522 thousand as of December 31, 2019 due primarily to the change in fair value of the underlying investment. The settlement of the agreement dated January 26, 2018 resulted in cancellation of the 500,000 Cresco Class E Units previously held in escrow.

In connection with the HHH acquisition on October 1, 2019, the Company settled a loan receivable that was valued at $4,807 thousand, including accrued interest receivable, and was classified as consideration paid as part of the acquisition.

In connection with the Valley Ag acquisition on October 8, 2019, the Company settled the loan receivable that was valued at $10,146 thousand, including accrued interest receivable, and was classified as consideration paid as part of the acquisition.

As part of the termination agreement, the Company forgave the outstanding loan and interest receivable balance of $3,037 thousand and recorded an impairment loss in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Expected Credit Loss (ECL)

The Company calculates ECLs for loan receivables and restricted cash by considering cash shortfalls on a discounted basis it would incur in various default scenarios for prescribed future periods and multiplying the shortfalls by the probability of each scenario occurring, which is determined through the exercise of judgement. No events or changes have occurred that would materially affect the expected credit loss over the life of these instruments and no impairment losses were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2019 or 2018.

(b) Loans Receivable, Long-Term

The Company entered into certain loan arrangements that contained embedded derivatives comprising of a call and put option and a stated interest rate of 5.25%. Settlement of the instruments varies based on contingent events and returns are not fixed. As such, the Company records this loan receivable at FVTPL. Each period, the loan is measured using a probability-weighting analysis of expected outcomes, which utilize Level 3 inputs. The inputs included market rates ranging from 2.7% to 18.3%, a risk-free rate of 1.6% and expected settlement timing of 1.47 to 1.69 years. Changes in Level 3 inputs and assumptions utilized resulted in a fair value gain of $2,037 as of December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2019, of the $15,500 thousand maximum loan commitment, $10,471 thousand had been drawn on these loans.

(e) Share Purchase Warrants

At December 31, 2019, of the 6,453,784 warrants outstanding, 18,253 warrants issued to previous holders of Randsburg warrants (measured at FVTPL) were classified as a long-term derivative liability with a fair value of $50 thousand at December 31, 2019. 35,071 warrants were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2019 for $204 thousand, resulting in a realized gain of $35 thousand and an increase to share capital of $368 thousand. The Company recorded a mark-to-market loss of $155 thousand due to changes in share price, partially offset by a $12 thousand unrealized foreign exchange gain on outstanding warrants at December 31, 2019.

	December 31, 2019	December 31, 2018
Risk-free annual interest rate	1.61%	1.25%
Expected annual dividend yield	0%	0%
Expected stock price volatility	81%	90%
Expected life of stock warrants	0.4 years	1 year
Forfeiture rate	0%	0%
Share price at period end	$6.86	$6.75

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

Pursuant with the acquisition of Valley Ag, the Company issued 2,000 thousand share purchase warrants with a fair value of $5,437 thousand classified as a long-term derivative liability and measured at FVTPL. The Company recorded a mark-to-market loss of $2,127 thousand due to changes in share price, partially offset by a $290 thousand unrealized foreign exchange gain on outstanding warrants for the year ended December 31, 2019.

At both the issuance dates and as of December 31, 2019, the fair value of warrants issued through the September 2019 financing, corresponding overallotment and Valley Ag acquisition were determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizing the following assumptions:

	Issuance date	December 31, 2019
Risk-free annual interest rate	1.73% to 1.77%	1.58%
Expected annual dividend yield	0%	0%
Expected stock price volatility	82%	81%
Expected life of warrants	1.5 years	1.4 years
Forfeiture rate	0%	0%
Share price on valuation date	$5.67—$6.32	$6.86

Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group of publicly traded cannabis companies.

Financial Risk Management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board mitigates these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management processes:

(a) Credit and Banking Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure at December 31, 2019 and 2018 is the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its customers or loan counterparties, based on the continued economic strength of the U.S, strength in the U.S. capital markets, and the low interest rate environment. Although all deposited cash is placed with U.S. financial institutions in good standing with regulatory authorities, changes in U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the cannabis industry have passed the House of Representatives, but has not yet been voted on within the Senate. 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 cannabis industry.

The Company’s aging of accounts receivables as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

($ in thousands)	2019		2018
0 to 60 days	$	10,276	$	3,469
61 to 120 days		5,551		181
120 days +		899		28
Total accounts receivable, gross	$	16,726	$	3,678

The Company recorded bad debt expense of $251 thousand and $nil for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, to account for expected credit loss and an additional $185 thousand in bad debt expense related to invoice write-offs for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

Included in the Accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2019 are amounts receivable from Origin House of $8,004 thousand. The outstanding receivables were subsequently collected in January of 2020.

(b) 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.

(c) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due. In February 2020, the Company entered into a non-brokered credit agreement for a senior secured term loan with an initial principal balance of $100,000 thousand. The Company will continue to raise capital as needed to fund operations and expansion. The maturity analysis for lease obligations is located in Note 8.

In addition to the commitments outlined in Note 11 and Note 14, the Company has the following contractual obligations as of December 31, 2019:

($ in thousands)	< 1 Year		1 to 3 Years		3 to 5 Years		Total

In addition to the commitments outlined in Note 11 and Note 14, the Company has the following contractual obligations as of December 31, 2018:

Total obligation as of December 31, 2018	$	22,468	$	3,096	$	—	$	25,564

(d) Market Risk

(i) Currency Risk

The operating results and financial position of the Company are reported in U.S. dollars. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated solely in U.S. dollars. However, from time to time, some of the Company’s financial transactions are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks. The Company recorded an immaterial amount of foreign exchange losses related to warrants during the year ended December 31, 2019. See Note 17 for additional detail.

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

(ii) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company calculates an incremental borrowing rate to use in the valuation of its financial instruments. The Company does not have material long-term interest-bearing debt on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

(iii) Price Risk

Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. The Company is subject to price risk related to derivative liabilities, contingent consideration and liability-classified RSUs that are valued based on the Company’s own stock price. An increase or decrease of stock price by 10% would result in an associated increase or decrease in fair value and Other (expense) income, net of $5,287 thousand.

(iv) Tax Risk

Tax risk is the risk of changes in the tax environment that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Currently, state licensed marijuana businesses are assessed a comparatively high effective federal tax rate due to section 280E which bars businesses from deducting all expenses except their cost of sales when calculating federal tax liability. Any increase in tax levies resulting from additional tax measures may have a further adverse effect on the operations of the Company, while any decrease in such tax levies will be beneficial to future operations. See Note 25 for the Company’s disclosure of uncertain tax positions.

(v) Regulatory Risk

Regulatory risk pertains to the risk that the Company’s business objectives are contingent, in part, upon the compliance of regulatory requirements. Due to the nature of the industry, the company recognizes that regulatory requirements are more stringent and punitive in nature. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals can significantly delay operational and product development and can have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operation, and financial condition.

The Company is cognizant of the advent of regulatory changes occurring in the cannabis industry on the city, state, and national levels. Although regulatory outlook on the cannabis industry has been moving in a positive trend, the Company is aware of the effect of unforeseen regulatory changes can have on the goals and operations of the business as a whole.

21. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure that there are adequate capital resources to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and maintain adequate levels of funding to support its ongoing operations and development such that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

The capital structure of the Company consists of items included in shareholders’ equity. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the Company’s underlying assets.

Potentially dilutive shares of 152,079 and 150,711 thousand were not included in the calculation of EPS for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive due to net losses in these periods.

The following is a reconciliation for the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share (in thousands, except per share amounts) for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:

	Year ended December 31,

25. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based upon anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying values of assets and liabilities and the respective tax bases. As a result of the Transaction, the Company recognized a net deferred tax liability of $607 thousand with a corresponding decrease to Shareholders’ Equity.

As the Company operates in the legal cannabis industry, the Company is subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E for U.S. federal income tax purposes as well state income tax purposes for Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Nevada, Arizona, New York, and Massachusetts. Under 280E, the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E. However, the State of California does not conform to IRC Section 280E and, accordingly, the Company deducts all operating expenses on its California Franchise Tax Returns.

The Company intends to be treated as a United States corporation for United States federal income tax purposes under section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code and is expected to be subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide income. However, for Canadian tax purposes, the Company is expected, regardless of any application of section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code, to be treated as a Canadian resident company (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ITA”) for Canadian income tax purposes. As a result, the Corporation will be subject to taxation both in Canada and the United States.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has $1,677 thousand of non-capital Canadian losses which expire in 2038- 2039, $12,346 thousand of California net operating losses which expire in 2038-2039, and $922 thousand of U.S. federal net operating losses which have an indefinite carryforward period.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company has $37 thousand of non-capital Canadian losses which expire in 2038, $1,733 thousand of California net operating losses which expire in 2038, $21 thousand of U.S. federal net operating losses which expire in 2037 and $42 thousand of U.S. federal net operating losses which have an indefinite carryforward period.

The Company determined that the tax impact of certain arrangements between its management companies and operating companies are not probable that they would be sustained under IFRIC 23 due to the evolving interpretations of Section 280E. As a result, the Company recorded a reserve for an uncertain tax positions of $7,494 thousand and $2,619 thousand as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Of this amount, $455 thousand relates to penalties and $246 thousand relates to interest as of December 31, 2019, and $275 thousand relates to penalties as of December 31, 2018. All interest and penalties are classified as Accounts payable and other accrued expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company early adopted IFRIC 23 as of December 31, 2018.
