Business Description

Harvest Health & Recreation Inc., a British Columbia corporation (the “Company” or “Harvest”), is a vertically integrated cannabis company that operates from “seed to sale.” The Company holds licenses or provides services to cannabis dispensaries in Arizona, California, Florida, Maryland, Nevada, and Pennsylvania, with provisional licenses in Massachusetts. In addition, the Company owns CO2 extraction, distillation, purification and manufacturing technology used to produce a line of cannabis topicals, vapes and gems featuring cannabinoids and a hemp-derived product line sold in Colorado. The Company also owns, manufactures and distributes a portfolio of cannabis consumer packaged goods brands, including ROLL ONE, MODERN FLOWER, EVOLAB, CHROMA, CO2LORS, ALCHEMY, AVENUE, LOVELI, and CBX SCIENCES, to third-party licensed retail cannabis stores across the United States as well as to select retail stores the Company owns or operates, in addition to providing support services and financing to a Utah-licensed medical cannabis cultivator (on July 14, 2021, the Company completed the divestiture of its Utah cultivation and processing operations).

The Company operates in one segment, the cultivation, processing and sale of cannabis. The Company grows cannabis in outdoor, indoor, and greenhouse facilities for sale in its retail locations and for wholesale. In addition, the Company converts cannabis biomass into formulated oil using a variety of proprietary extraction techniques. The Company uses some of this oil to manufacture products such as vaporizer cartridges and edibles. Harvest sells cannabis, oil, and manufactured products in Harvest dispensaries and to third parties for resale. In addition, the Company collects licensing fees from third parties associated with operations at certain cultivation, manufacturing or retail facilities.

Harvest conducts business through wholly-owned and majority-owned operating subsidiaries, operating agreements and other commercial arrangements established to conduct the different business areas of each business (each an “Operating Subsidiary” and together, “Operating Subsidiaries”). The Company’s principal operating locations and type of operation are listed below:

On July 14, 2021, the Company divested the indoor grow location located in Ogden, Utah for an immaterial amount of cash.

The Company is in various stages of expansion as it is growing its commercial footprint by focusing on acquiring and building additional retail, cultivation and processing locations for medical and adult use cannabis in its existing key markets.

Each Operating Subsidiary either holds the active and/or pending cannabis licenses associated with its activities, or has a commercial arrangement with the operating locations, and/or owns the real estate and primary fixed assets used in the cannabis businesses.

In certain states, cannabis licenses are typically divided into three categories: dispensary, cultivation, and processing. Dispensary licenses comprise the retail operations and allow a company to dispense cannabis to patients. Cultivation licenses allow a company to grow cannabis plants. Processing licenses allow for the processing of cannabis into other products (e.g., edibles, oil, etc.). Cultivation and processing licenses comprise the wholesale operations.

In other states, cannabis licenses are defined as vertically integrated, which allows the license holder the right to engage in dispensary, cultivation and processing activities.

The Company’s corporate headquarters is located at 1155 W. Rio Salado Parkway, Suite 201, Tempe, Arizona, 85281. The Company has one class of stock that is traded on the Canadian Stock Exchange (“CSE”) and on the OTCQX International tier of the OTC Markets in the U.S. (the “OTCQX”) under the symbols HARV and HRVSF, respectively. The stock price between the CSE and the OTCQX are identical after the U.S./Canadian currency exchange conversion.

Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods, in the opinion of the Company’s management, have been included. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2021.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

(b) Basis of Measurement

These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value as described herein.

(c) Functional Currency

These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in United States dollars, which is also the functional currency of the Company and its affiliates.

(d) Basis of Consolidation

These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include the accounts of the Company, all wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling voting interest and, when applicable, variable interest entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. Investments in affiliates where the Company does not exert a controlling financial interest are not consolidated.

Subsidiaries over which the Company has a controlling financial interest are fully consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases. All of the consolidated entities were under common control during the entirety of the periods for which their respective results of operations were included in the consolidated statements (i.e., from the date of their acquisition). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

(e) Discontinued Operations

The Company followed Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 360, Property, Plant, an Equipment, and ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations, to report assets held for sale and discontinued operations.

The Company classifies assets and liabilities of a business or asset group as held for sale, and the results of its operations as income (loss) from discontinued operations, net, for all periods presented, when (i) we commit to a plan to divest a business or asset group, actively begin marketing it for sale, and when it is deemed probable of occurrence within the next twelve months, and (ii) when the business or asset group reflects a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations and its financial results. In measuring the assets and liabilities held for sale, the Company evaluates which businesses or asset groups are being marketed for sale.

See Note 4 for additional information.

(f) Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for customer contracts in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), which includes the following five-step model:

 

   

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer.

 

   

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract.

 

   

Determination of the transaction price.

 

   

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

 

   

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

10


Through application of the standard, the Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Revenues consist primarily of wholesale and retail sales of cannabis, which are generally recognized at a point in time when control over the goods have been transferred to the customer and is recorded net of sales discounts. Payment is typically due upon transferring the goods to the customer or within a specified time period permitted under the Company’s credit policy. Sales discounts were not material during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company has agreements in place whereby third-parties provide services or license the right to operate certain aspects of cannabis facilities owned by the Company. Under the terms of these agreements, the service provider operates various aspects of the business including procurement, production, regulatory compliance, marketing and sales, subject to oversight by the Company. The Company pays the service provider a fee for its services or in the case of licenses, the licensee pays the Company a license fee. The Company recorded $0.3 million and $6.2 million on a gross basis for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recorded $0.6 million and $12.6 million on a gross basis for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The determination that the Company was the principal under these agreements was made in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-36 through 55-40 and consists of the following analysis. The Company analyzed the agreements first to determine what the specified good or service is that is being provided. Secondly, whether the Company is in control of the goods prior to the goods being transferred to the customer. The specified goods consist of various cannabis products sold at either a retail location or wholesale. In order to determine whether the Company had control of the specified goods prior to transfer to the customer, the terms of the agreements to provide the goods to the customers were evaluated. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, the Company is at all times the owner of the products which are the cannabis and cannabis concentrates. Further, the service provider would not be able to sell the products to the customer without the use the of the Company’s license which permits it to sell cannabis under state law.

The following represents disaggregated revenue information:

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020

   $ 72,262      $ 13,264      $ 14,370      $ 99,896  

Our customer loyalty program enables participants to earn points for qualifying purchases that can be redeemed for discounts or product in the future. We allocate the transaction price between the goods delivered and the future goods that will be delivered, on a relative standalone selling price basis, and defer the revenues allocated to the points, less expected expirations, until such points are redeemed. The timing of loyalty point redemptions can vary significantly, and the loyalty points do not expire. As of June 30, 2021, the amount of revenue deferred related to the earned points, net of redemptions, is $2.3 million. The deferral is reflected as a current liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets because it is expected to be earned within the next 12 months.

Discontinued Operations

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, following the completion of the merger with Interurban Capital Group, LLC (formerly Interurban Capital Group, Inc.) (“ICG”), the Company sold ICG to a wholly owned subsidiary of Hightimes Holding Corp. (“Hightimes”) following the spinoff of certain assets. At the time of disposition, ICG’s primary assets consisted of rights to acquire eight “Have A Heart”-branded cannabis dispensaries in California (the “California HAH Dispensaries”). In addition, the Company agreed to sell Hightimes the equity of two additional entities controlled by Harvest that are seeking cannabis dispensary licenses in California (the “Harvest Dispensaries”). As a result, assets and liabilities allocable to these operations were classified as held for sale. In addition, revenue and expenses, gains and losses relating to the discontinuation of the California HAH Dispensaries operations were eliminated from profit or loss from the Company’s continuing operations for all periods presented.

The Company also entered into a plan to abandon certain product lines or lines of business to include CBD products or items of inventory, and the Company’s planned expansion in the state of Michigan. Any related assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale. In addition, the revenue, expenses, gains and losses related to the discontinuation of these activities were eliminated from profit or loss from the Company’s continuing operations for all periods presented.

Discontinued operations are presented separately from continuing operations in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

Leases

The Company primarily leases space for corporate offices, retail, cultivation and manufacturing under non-cancellable operating leases with initial terms typically ranging from 1 to 28 years. The Company had one finance lease at June 30, 2021.

 

14


On January 11, 2021, the Company purchased a cultivation property located in Reading, Pennsylvania. The property consists of approximately 1.36 acres of land and close to 46,800 square feet of combined office and cultivation space. The purchase price of the property was $5.2 million and was considered a finance lease prior to the building purchase.

On January 20, 2021, the Company sold an industrial property totaling approximately 292,000 square feet for $23.8 million. Concurrent with the sale, Harvest entered into a triple net lease with Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (“IIP”) to lease back the property. The lease is for a term of 20 years with an extension option. At commencement, the Company was not reasonably certain to exercise the extension option. Harvest plans to continue to operate the property as a licensed cultivation and processing facility and expects to recover up to approximately $10.8 million in tenant improvements from IIP. The total proceeds for the transaction are expected to be approximately $34.6 million. The Company determined control of the assets transferred to IIP, the sale price represented the fair value of the underlying assets sold, and the Company does not have continuing involvement with the property sold other than a normal leaseback. The Company received net proceeds of $22.3 million from the sale, after deducting a security deposit of $1.2 million, other transactions costs of $0.3 million, and incurred a gain of $1.1 million. In June 2021, we amended our lease, increasing the tenant improvement allowance under the lease by $7.1 million to a total of approximately $17.9 million, which also resulted in a corresponding adjustment to the base rent for the lease at the property.

Divestitures

In February 2020, the Company divested of non-operating retail and cultivation entities, primarily consisting of two entities that hold cannabis licenses and various real estate and equipment. In accordance with ASC 810-10-40, Derecognition, control ceased, and the Company deconsolidated its interest in the entities. A related party to the Company holds an interest of 49% which it recognized as an equity method investment due to the related party’s significant influence. The carrying value of the assets was derecognized along with the corresponding recognition of the fair value of the equity method investment resulting in a gain of $3.2 million. In conjunction with the assets being deconsolidated, the Company issued a $12.0 million note receivable to the entities in exchange for the real property and other plant and equipment deconsolidated at the time. This resulted in an additional $8.7 million gain.

Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company recorded amortization expense of $0.7 million and $0.5 million included in depreciation and amortization, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operation, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recorded amortization expense of $1.1 million and $1.0 million included in depreciation and amortization, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization periods for assets with definite lives are based on management’s estimates at the date of acquisition.

The Company is not able to readily determine the fair value of either of the Company’s equity investments listed in the table above. The investments are therefore accounted for under the measurement alternative whereby the investments are held at cost and adjusted for impairments and observable price changes, if any.

On March 13, 2021, the Company settled a lawsuit with Falcon International, Inc. (‘‘Falcon’’) whereby the Company received 10% equity ownership in Falcon and each share received came with a 10-year warrant to acquire two common shares of Falcon at an exercise price of $1.91 per warrant. In exchange, the Company settled the $50.0 million of notes receivable, including accrued interest receivable, due from Falcon. Based on the net book value of the notes receivable settled, the Company estimated the fair value of the equity and warrants received to be $21.8 million at settlement.

On June 22, 2020, the Company sold a wholly owned subsidiary to a subsidiary of Hightimes following the spinoff of certain assets. Consideration received by the Company included 600,000 of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock has a stated or liquidation value of $100 per share. The Company may convert all or a portion of the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Hightimes Class A voting Common Stock at a conversion price per share of $11, subject to adjustment to $1 per share, based on the 11-for-one forward stock split of the Hightimes Common Stock to be consummated upon completion of Hightimes’ Regulation A+ initial public offering; provided, that in no event shall the number of shares of Hightimes Common Stock issuable upon full conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, exceed 19% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hightimes Common Stock, after giving effect to such optional conversion. Based on the assets transferred, the Company estimated the fair value of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock received to be $19.1 million when the sale closed.

No impairments or observable price changes were identified during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Share-based Compensation

Stock options

During 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share-based compensation plan. The purpose of the plan is to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders by aiding the Company in attracting and retaining employees, officers, consultants, advisors and non-employee directors capable of assuring the future success of the Company. The stock options granted are non-qualified and generally vest in 25% increments over a four-year period and expire 10 years from the grant date.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on June 30, 2021, and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their in-the-money options on June 30, 2021. This amount will change in future periods based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock and the number of options outstanding.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $0.4 million. Cash received from stock option exercises was $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The following table summarizes the Subordinate Voting Shares stock options that remain outstanding as of June 30, 2021:

During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $3.7 million and $3.3 million of share-based compensation expense for stock options granted and vested during the period, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $8.5 million and $17.1 million of share-based compensation expense for stock options granted and vested during the period, respectively.

 

20


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

 

     2021   2020

Risk-Free Annual Interest Rate

   1.09% -2.25%   2.00% -2.25%

Expected Annual Dividend Yield

   0%   0%

Expected Stock Price Volatility

   99% - 197%   83% - 99%

Expected Life of Stock Options

   6.25 Years   6.25 Years

Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group of publicly traded cannabis companies. The expected life represents the period of time that the options issued are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of issuance, using rates with a term approximately equal to the expected life of the options.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the weighted-average fair value of stock options granted was $2.74 and $2.16 per option, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the weighted-average fair value of stock options granted was $3.16 and $2.16 per option, respectively. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, stock options outstanding had a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 8.2 and 8.9 years, respectively. At June 30, 2021, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested awards granted and expected to vest was $14.1 million. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

Restricted stock units

On December 31, 2020, the Company granted 208,348 restricted stock units. These restricted stock units vest in 2021. On April 6, 2020, the Company granted 98,765 restricted stock units. These restricted stock units vest throughout 2020 and 2021. The following table summarizes the status of the restricted stock units:

Each Multiple Voting Share converts into 100 Subordinate Voting Shares and each Super Voting Share converts into one Subordinate Voting Share. Holders of SVS are entitled to one vote in respect of each SVS held at stockholder meetings of the Company. Holders of MVS are entitled to 100 votes in respect of each MVS held at stockholder meetings of the Company. Holders of Super Voting Shares are entitled to 200 votes in respect of each Super Voting Share held at stockholder meetings of the Company.

Warrants

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued 307,856 stock warrants to purchase the Company’s SVS. These warrants were issued upon exercise of compensation warrants held by underwriters of the bought deal completed by the Company on October 28, 2020. The company did not record any share-based compensation expense for stock warrants outstanding during the period. Prior to June 30, 2021, all of the Company’s outstanding stock warrants qualified for liability classification in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. On June 30, 2021, the Company amended the terms of the 17,154,416 SVS warrants issued and outstanding to reflect the exercise price of such warrants in U.S. dollars. Following the conversion of the exercise price to U.S. dollars, the warrants were reclassified as equity. The Company recognized a $0.9 million change in fair value of the warrant liability upon modification and reclassified $36.9 million of the warrant liability to equity. One holder remains that did not convert, and the Company will continue to treat the warrant activity associated with that holder as liability classification.

   April 2021 - April 2023      55,350      103.36      55,350  

The fair value of the stock warrants granted was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions at the time of issuance:

 

     2021   2020

Risk-Free Annual Interest Rate

   0.11% -0.16%   2.15%

Expected Annual Dividend Yield

   0%   0%

Expected Stock Price Volatility

   95%   70% - 99%

Expected Term

   2.2 - 2.3 Years   1.0 - 5.0 years

Expected volatility was estimated by using the Company’s historical share price volatility for a period similar to the expected life of the warrants. The expected term represents the period of time that the stock warrants issued are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate, using the expected life of the warrants, is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of issuance.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, there were no stock warrants granted. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the fair value of the stock warrants granted was $2.35 and $1.50 per warrant, respectively. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, stock warrants outstanding have a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 0.8 and 2.2 years, respectively.

Warrants exercised for cash

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued 26,000 MVS and 271,742 SVS as a result of warrant exercises and received cash proceeds of approximately $3.4 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued 41,000 MVS and 2,641,164 SVS as a result of warrant exercises (including 615,710 SVS issued in relation to compensation warrants exercised) and received cash proceeds of approximately $10.3 million.

Shares held in escrow

As of June 30, 2021, the Company has 2,000,000 SVS held in escrow to be released on the achievement of certain milestones. The conditions for release were not met as of June 30, 2021. The shares are non-employee compensation for raising equity.

As the Company is in a loss position for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the inclusion of shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, vesting of restricted stock, exercise of warrants, and conversion of debt in the calculation of diluted earnings per share would be anti-dilutive and, accordingly, were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation. The weighted-average number of shares outstanding assumes the conversion of all MVS and Super Voting Shares to SVS.

Commitments and Contingencies

Regulatory environment

The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of local and state regulation. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on its operations, or losses of permits or licenses that could result in the Company ceasing operations. While management of the Company believes that the Company is in compliance with applicable local and state regulation as of June 30, 2021, cannabis regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations. As a result, the Company may be subject to regulatory fines, penalties, or restrictions in the future.

Contingencies

Claims & legal proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings, including litigation or regulatory proceedings relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. In accordance with the current accounting standards for loss contingencies under ASC Topic 450, we establish reserves for litigation-related matters that arise from the ordinary course of our business activities

 

23


when it is probable that a loss associated with a claim or proceeding has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Litigation claims and proceedings of all types are subject to many uncertain factors that generally cannot be predicted with assurance. By their nature, the amount of the contingency and the timing of a contingent event and any resulting accounting recognition are subject to our judgment of such events and our estimates of the amounts. Below we provide a description of potentially material legal proceedings and claims.

Falcon International, Inc.

On January 6, 2020, the Company terminated the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization entered into among the Company, Harvest California Acquisition Corp., Falcon International Corp. and its shareholders dated February 14, 2019, as amended (the “Falcon Merger Agreement”). The Falcon Merger Agreement was terminated as a result of defaults by Falcon and its shareholders incapable of being cured, and other improper conduct of Falcon and its principal officers and directors, James Kunevicius and Edlin Kim. On January 6, 2020, the Company also filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona (Case No. 2:20-cv-00035-DLR) (the “Falcon Lawsuit”), which identified the grounds for termination and sought a court order compelling Falcon and its shareholders to arbitrate the Company’s claims. On February 7, 2020, an Amended Complaint was filed as a matter of course, providing greater specificity after certain defendants filed a motion to dismiss. On February 26, 2020, Falcon, its subsidiaries, and its founders all stipulated to the relief sought by the Amended Complaint, to refer the matter to binding, private arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).

On March 6, 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona ordered the parties to the stipulation to binding, private arbitration of the matter before the AAA. The remedies the Company seeks in the AAA arbitration include rescission and/or termination of the Falcon Merger Agreement, all agreements entered into in connection with the Falcon Merger Agreement and the “Control Person Transaction” discussed below, an award of restitutionary damages from Falcon and its shareholders including repayment of funds advanced pursuant to promissory notes issued by Falcon and its subsidiaries in connection with the Falcon Merger Agreement, appointment of a receiver for Falcon and an award of attorneys’ fees, arbitration forum fees and costs. Remedies sought by the Company in arbitration also include rescission and/or termination remedies concerning the “Control Person Transaction” referenced in that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement entered into among James Kunevicius and Edlin Kim (collectively, the “Selling Owners”), Elemental Concepts, LLC and Compass Point, LLC (the “Sellers”) and Harvest of California, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of the “Company”) dated June 7, 2019 (the “MIPA”). Pursuant to the terms of the MIPA, the Company purchased 100% of the membership interests in two entities that hold commercial cannabis licenses in California (the “Purchased Interests”) for a purchase price of $4.1 million (the “Purchase Price”). These remedies include seeking an order which would effectively require the equivalent of the Selling Owners and the Sellers being required to repurchase from the Company all of the Purchased Interests for an amount equal to the Purchase Price as provided for in the MIPA.

On July 2, 2020, Falcon and two of its shareholders filed a counterclaim against the Company in the AAA arbitration proceeding. The counterclaim alleges that the Company breached the Falcon Merger Agreement, breached an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and intentionally interfered with Falcon’s prospective business relations and seeks monetary damages of $50.0 million pursuant to the Falcon Merger Agreement. On March 13, 2021, the parties entered into a binding settlement agreement, resulting in a final dismissal of all litigation and arbitration between them arising out of the 2019 merger agreement. In accordance with the settlement terms, Harvest owns a 10% equity interest in Falcon. Each share comes with a 10-year warrant entitling Harvest to purchase two (2) common shares of Falcon at an exercise price of $1.91, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events. See Note 10 for additional information.

AGRiMED Industries of PA, LLC

The Company appealed the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Health (“PDOH”), June 2019 denial of the renewal of a grower/processor permit issued to AGRiMED Industries of PA, LLC (“AGRiMED”) which the Company acquired through a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement on May 20, 2019. On August 28, 2019, AGRiMED filed a timely Notice of Appeal with the PDOH Docket No. 19-068 GP on the grounds that, among other things, the PDOH is equitably estopped and abused its discretion in refusing to renew AGRiMED’s permit, given AGRiMED’s recent change in ownership, the PDOH’s awareness of that change, and the limited scope of AGRiMED’s operations at the time of the non-renewal, of which the PDOH was similarly aware. Further, AGRiMED asserted that the PDOH had failed to provide AGRiMED with an opportunity to respond to or otherwise cure or correct any alleged violations identified by the PDOH. On May 6, 2021 the PDOH entered into a settlement agreement regarding the AGRiMED permit which allows for the conditional renewal of the permit and its operation by the Company as early as August 15, 2021.

The AGRiMED permit is still subject to litigation from a third-party seeking revocation of the permit. The possible revocation is related to an administrative challenge filed by Bay LLC, which was the next highest scoring applicant when AGRiMED was awarded a permit. Bay LLC’s objection to the award of the AGRiMED permit is due to the fact that one of AGRiMED’s principals (pre-Harvest’s MIPA to operate the permit) failed to disclose a criminal conviction on the AGRiMED application. On November 9, 2020, the PDOH Deputy Secretary ruled that the AGRiMED permit should not be revoked based upon an equitable estoppel theory. On December 3, 2020 Bay LLC filed a Petition for Review of the November 9, 2020 PDOH determination in the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court. Briefing of that appeal was completed in May 2021 and the Company is awaiting a ruling.

Rainbow lease and real estate litigation

On June 4, 2020, Rainbow HAH Council Bluffs LLC, Rainbow HAH Santa Cruz LLC, Rainbow HAH Coalinga LLC, Rainbow HAH LLC and Rainbow Realty Group LLC (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau (Index No.: 605323/2020) against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and certain of its current officers and directors, including Scott Atkison (the “Harvest Defendants”), ICG and certain of its subsidiaries, Hightimes Holding Corp. and one of its subsidiaries, Ryan Kunkel (“Kunkel”) and James Dennedy (“Dennedy”). Mr. Atkison is a former shareholder and director of ICG and is a party to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated March 13, 2020, between a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and ICG (the “ICG Merger Agreement”) and as result thereof, he, along with other former ICG shareholders including Daniel Reiner, a shareholder of the Company and the beneficial owner of greater than 5% of our equity securities, may have indemnification obligations to the Company. On September 24, 2020, the Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint (the “Amended Rainbow Complaint”). The Amended Rainbow Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Plaintiffs were fraudulently induced by Kunkel and Dennedy and aided and abetted by the Harvest Defendants into paying $3.5 million to purchase three cannabis dispensaries that were leased by Have a Heart branded dispensaries in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Coalinga, California and Santa Cruz, California (the “Gerra Properties”). The properties were sold to the Plaintiffs by Gerra Capital Management which was owned and controlled by certain former ICG directors and shareholders which included Kunkel and Dennedy. The Amended Rainbow Complaint alleges breach of lease, breach of guaranty, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud in the inducement, conspiracy to commit fraud, aiding and abetting fraud, violations of debtor creditor law and piercing the corporate veil (the “Rainbow Litigation”). In December 2020, the case transferred to the Commercial Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (Index No.: 452625/2020).

On July 15, 2021, the Company, Harvest Enterprises, Inc., Harvest HAH WA, Inc., Steven M. White, M. Scott Atkison and Daniel T. Reiner (collectively, the “Defendants”), and the Plaintiffs entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Release, pursuant to which, inter alia, the Company issued 150,000 SVS to the Plaintiffs in consideration for the final release (with prejudice) of all claims pending against the Defendants in the Commercial Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (Index No.: 452625/2020).

TGS National Franchise, LLC arbitration

In the Matter of Arbitration between TGS National Franchise, LLC v. San Felasco Nurseries, Inc. (“SFN”) as assignee of Florida Compassionate Growers LLC (Case No: 01-18-0003-9481) (the “SFN Arbitration”).

Prior to the Company’s acquisition of SFN via a share exchange agreement dated October 25, 2018, TGS filed several arbitrations and civil lawsuits (the “TGS Lawsuits”) arising out of franchise agreements between TGS and SFN dated April 8, 2016 (“Franchise Agreements”). The TGS Lawsuits included a demand for arbitration filed with the American Arbitration Association filed on October 22, 2018 (the “SFN Arbitration”) seeking monetary damages arising from the termination of the Franchise Agreements. On March 28, 2019, the SFN Arbitration was stayed by agreement of the parties pending resolution of a TGS appeal, to the Colorado Court of Appeals, of a decision adverse to TGS in another of the TGS Lawsuits (the “TGS Appeal”).

On February 21, 2020, TGS moved to substitute Jushi FL SPV, LLC (“Jushi”) as Claimant in the SFN Arbitration (“Claimant”) and amend the case caption to In the Matter of Arbitration between Jushi FL SPV, LLC, as assignee of TGS National Franchise, LLC v. San Felasco Nurseries, Inc., as assignee of Florida Compassionate Growers LLC (Case No: 01-18-0003-9481). On May 15, 2020, the parties stipulated to substitute Jushi as Claimant and amend the case caption. On March 26, 2020, the Colorado Court of Appeals denied the TGS Appeal and held that certain terms in the Franchise Agreements evidence “a clear intent to limit the parties’ rights and remedies otherwise available.”

With the TGS Appeal decided, the SFN Arbitration re-commenced in August 2020. On November 9, 2020, the panel in the SFN Arbitration (the “AAA Panel”) denied SFN’s motion to dismiss, which had argued that the arbitration was precluded by the earlier TGS Lawsuits. On March 29, 2021, the AAA Panel denied SFN’s request to file a pre-hearing motion to dismiss the SFN Arbitration for failure to state recoverable damages. The final hearing in the SFN Arbitration was held the week of May 3, 2021. Post-hearing briefing was completed on June 29, 2021.

The AAA Panel issued its interim award (the “Interim Award”) on July 29, 2021. The AAA Panel ruled against Claimant on its legal and equitable claims for breach of a contractual right of first refusal (“ROFR”) under the Franchise Agreements in connection with a potential sale of SFN (the “ROFR Transaction”), holding that SFN had negotiated the ROFR Transaction in good faith. Claimant prevailed, however, on its claims for breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing arising from SFN’s termination of the Franchise Agreements. The AAA Panel awarded Claimant $10.6 million based on the supposed “present value” of “unpaid future royalties” in respect of these claims. The AAA Panel awarded an additional $3.7 million in pre-award interest on these damages, and post-award interest at a rate of 12% per annum.

 

25


The Panel further determined that Claimant was the prevailing party in the arbitration and that the Franchise Agreements entitled Claimant to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, exclusive of certain arbitration costs. Claimant’s fee request currently is due to the Panel on August 12, 2021, and SFN’s response currently is due on August 26, 2021.

The Franchise Agreements provide that the Interim Award, once finalized, is subject to review by an independent panel of three arbitrators (the “Independent Panel”). The Company intends to appeal the decision to the Independent Panel on the grounds that, among other things, the damages awarded are not available under the contracts and applicable law. The appeal will be filed no later than 30 days after the Interim Award becomes final. The Company has adjusted its reserves in respect of the SFN Arbitration as a result of the Interim Award.

Litigation Arising Out of Proposed Transaction with Trulieve Cannabis Corp.

On May 10, 2021, the Company entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (“Trulieve”), pursuant to which Trulieve agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding subordinate voting shares of the Company, multiple voting shares of the Company, and super voting shares of the Company. On July 13, 2021, the Company issued its Definitive Proxy Statement (the “Proxy”) soliciting stockholder approval of the proposed transaction. Since the issuance of the Proxy, a number of purported stockholders of the Company have sent demand letters to the Company’s Board of Directors and/or commenced litigation challenging the accuracy and/or completeness of the disclosures in the Proxy. To date, the following five lawsuits have been filed, bearing the following captions:

 

   

Oppen v. Harvest Health et al., C.A. No. 21-02048 (D. Col.)

 

   

Stout v. Harvest Health et al., C.A. No. 21-06398 (S.D.N.Y.)

 

   

Jenkins v. Harvest Health et al., C.A. No. 21-02045 (D. Col.)

 

   

Coffman v. Harvest Health et al., C.A. No. 21-02026 (D. Col.)

 

   

Wean v. Harvest Health et al., C.A. No. 21-06435 (S.D.N.Y.)

 

   

Finger v Harvest Health et al., C.A. No. 21-02086 (D. Col.)

Each lawsuit asserts claims under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and alleges that the Proxy omits and/or misrepresents material information concerning: (i) the Company’s and Trulieve’s financial projections; (ii) the financial analyses performed by the Company’s financial advisors, Moelis & Company LLC and Haywood Securities Inc. (“Haywood”), in connection with their fairness opinions; (iii) information regarding the nature of Haywood’s arrangement; and (iv) the sales process leading up to the proposed transaction.

The Company vehemently denies these allegations, and intends to vigorously defend against these lawsuits. At this point, the Company is unable to state whether an outcome unfavorable to the Company is either probable or remote, or to estimate the range of possible loss in the event of an unfavorable outcome. The Company previously recorded a liability in the amount of $3.0 million during year ended December 31, 2020 and increased its liability by an additional $4.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Litigation assessment

The Company has evaluated its claims and the foregoing matters to assess the likelihood of any unfavorable outcome and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential loss as it relates to the litigation discussed above. Based on this assessment and estimate, which includes an understanding of the Company’s intention to vigorously prosecute its claims, the Company believes that any defenses of any of the counterparties lack merit, and the likelihood of any recoveries by any of the counterparties against the Company appears remote. This assessment and estimate is based on the information available to management as of the date of these financial statements and involves a significant amount of management judgment, including the inherent difficulty associated with assessing litigation matters in their early stages. As a result, the actual outcome or loss may differ materially from those envisioned by the current assessment and estimate. Our failure to successfully prosecute or settle these claims could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, revenue and profitability and could cause the market value of our subordinate voting shares to decline.

 

17.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), on a tax jurisdictional basis. The Company files a consolidated as well as several standalone company U.S. income tax returns and, at the federal level, its gross profits or income and losses are taxed at 21%. The Company’s effective tax rate varies from the U.S. Federal statutory rate due to permanent non-deductible IRS Section 280e differences, pass-through entities, and non-controlling interests. The Company recorded income tax expense of $6.8 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and $13.3 million and $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

26


The net deferred income tax liability was $53.1 million as of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and consists primarily of future tax impacts of the book and tax differences in fixed asset depreciation and intangibles acquired through purchase accounting.

During the three and six month ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the Company recognized an immaterial amount of interest and penalties. The Company has not established valuation allowances against any U.S. Federal or state deferred tax assets.
