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”), 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.

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-dominated shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FSE”) and are trading under the symbol “6CQ.”

The Company is licensed to cultivate, manufacture and sell retail and medical cannabis and retail and medical cannabis products and operates a retail, wholesale and online nicotine vape business. The Company operates in and/or has ownership interests in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, California, Maryland, Nevada, Arizona, New York, Massachusetts, and Canada, 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, the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission and the Canada Tobacco and Vaping Products Act, 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

  (a)

Basis of Preparation

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting, which was adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

(Unaudited)

 

 

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with accounting policies, consistently applied, critical estimates, and methods described in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on May 28, 2020.

 

  (b)

Basis of Measurement

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim 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 cost 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 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 25); 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)

Functional and Presentation Currency

The Company’s functional currency and that of the majority of 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 unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and revenues and expenses at the rate of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions during the period. Gains or losses on translation of foreign subsidiaries and net investments in foreign operations are included in other comprehensive income.

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

   12 – 18 months

Customer Relationships

   7 – 19 years

Non-Compete Agreements

   4 – 5 years

Trade Names

   10 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.

 

  (f)

Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates, and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim 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.

Significant judgements, estimates, and assumptions within these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, unless stated herein, are consistently applied to the annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

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.

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 14 and 18 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, it was expected that the Company’s biological assets would yield approximately 18,080 thousand and 13,142 thousand grams, respectively.

The Company has quantified the sensitivity of the inputs in relation to biological assets as of March 31, 2020 and 2019 and expects the following effect on fair value as shown in the table below:

The fair value of stock options granted under the Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following range of assumptions at the time of the grant:

 

     March 31, 2020

Risk-free annual interest rate

   1.18% to 1.28%

Expected annual dividend yield

   0%

Expected stock price volatility

   67% to 68%

Expected life of stock options

   5.5 to 7 years

Forfeiture rate

   5%

Fair value at grant date

   $1.84

Stock price at grant date

   $2.99

Exercise price

   $2.99

Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group of publicly traded companies. An increase in volatility would result in an increase in fair value at grant date. 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 three months ended March 31, 2020, and 2019 the weighted-average fair value of stock options granted was $1.84 and $4.86 per option, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, stock options outstanding have a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 8.5 years.

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued 629,275 replacement options with a weighted average exercise price of $4.24 in connection with the Origin House acquisition. The replacement options have expiration dates ranging between February 2023 and December 2027, though expiration will accelerate upon termination of employment. As of March 31, 2020, 609,935 options with a weighted average exercise price of $4.21 are deemed to be exercisable.

Restricted stock units (“RSUs”)

During 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. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $178 thousand and $339 thousand, respectively, in Deferred consideration, contingent consideration and other payables on the unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position related to these awards.

A summary of outstanding RSUs is provided below:

     42,982      $ 5.19  

Of the liability classified awards above, 24,428 awards were vested as of January 2020 pending issuance into shares.

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued 3,430 thousand replacement RSUs with a weighted average fair value of $5.96 in connection with the Origin House acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, the vesting of the replacement RSUs was accelerated. As such, there is no post-acquisition compensation expense required for these awards.

Deferred share awards

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued 1,632 thousand replacement deferred share awards in connection with the Origin House acquisition. The awards have a fair value of $5.96, which is based on the Company’s share price as of the acquisition date. The awards’ issuance were deferred through September 2020 as part of Origin House’s acquisition of RVR Distribution in 2018. Awards are considered to be fully vested as of the acquisition date and therefore require no post-acquisition compensation expense.

Expense Attribution

The Company recorded compensation expense for option awards in the amount of $1,435 thousand and $3,131 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company expensed $1,253 thousand and $2,877 thousand, respectively, to Selling, general and administrative expenses, with the remainder in Cost of sales – production costs and ending inventory.

Loyalty Programs

The Company has customer loyalty programs where retail customers accumulate points based on their level of spending. These points are recorded as a contract liability until customers redeem their points for discounts on cannabis and vape products as part of an in-store sales transaction. In addition, the Company records a performance obligation as a reduction of revenue based on the estimated probability of point obligation incurred, which is calculated based on a standalone selling price that ranges between $0.025 and $0.10 per loyalty point. Upon redemption, the loyalty program obligation is relieved and the offset is recorded as revenue. As of March 31, 2020, there were 24,360 thousand points outstanding, with an approximate value of $198 thousand. The Company expects the outstanding loyalty points will be redeemed within 1 year.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

 

  (a)

Claims and Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2020, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s operations. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers, or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.

 

  (b)

Contingencies

The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of local and state regulations. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on its operations, or losses of permits that could result in the Company ceasing operations. While management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with applicable local and state regulations as of March 31, 2020, 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a contingent liability of $107 thousand related to the Origin House acquisition.

 

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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 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;

 

33


Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

(Unaudited)

 

 

   

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.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

  (b)

Short-Term Loans Receivable with Derivative Features

On August 12, 2019, the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note that is convertible, at the Company’s discretion, into additional membership units approximating 1% ownership of the parent company of Lighthouse. The loan has a maturity of 18 months and an option for the Company to convert into additional membership units. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, this loan had a fair value of $2,236 thousand. This loan is measured at FVTPL and transferred classification from a long-term loan receivable to a short-term loan receivable in the current period. See Note 8 for discussion of the Company’s investment in Lighthouse.

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 three month periods ended March 31, 2020 or 2019.

 

  (c)

Loans Receivable, Long-Term

The Company entered into certain loan arrangements with Verdant Creations, LLC. 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 5.8% to 18.4%, a risk-free rate of 0.2% and expected settlement timing of 1.22 to 1.44 years. Changes in Level 3 inputs and assumptions utilized resulted in a fair value gain of $548 thousand as of March 31, 2020. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, of the $15,500 thousand maximum loan commitment, $14,598 thousand and $10,741 thousand, respectively, had been drawn on these loans.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has a loan receivable of $434 thousand and $390 thousand, respectively. The Company records this loan receivable at amortized cost and has a stated interest rate of 10%.

In connection with the acquisition of Origin House, the Company assumed a loan receivable with a fair value of $331 thousand at both the acquisition date and March 31, 2020.

 

  (d)

Derivative Liability

In conjunction with its acquisition of PDI, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $178 thousand at the acquisition date for an NCI put option, by which the remaining NCI could put their shares for a fixed amount of cash within one year of the acquisition legal close/funding date (April 2020). The derivative was valued using a discount rate of 9%. In April 2020, the holders of the unowned NCI exercised their put option which resulted in the Company paying $203 thousand to purchase the unowned interest of PDI. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a $25 thousand mark-to-market loss to match the expected settlement value.

 

  (e)

Share Purchase Warrants

At March 31, 2020, the Company had 6,441,784 warrants outstanding. Of the outstanding warrants, 6,232,503 warrants issued to underwriters associated with September 2019 financing, sellers from the Valley Ag acquisition and previous holders of Randsburg warrants were classified as long-term derivative liabilities. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, 12 thousand Valley Ag warrants were exercised for $51 thousand, resulting in a realized loss of $6 thousand and an increase to share capital of $91 thousand. There were no warrant exercises in the three months ended March 31, 2019.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a mark-to-market gain, due to changes in the Company’s share price, of $9,708 thousand and an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $600 thousand.

All warrants classified as long-term derivative liabilities are measured at FVTPL.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of liability-classified warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizing the following assumptions:

 

    

March 31, 2020

  

December 31,
2019

Risk-free annual interest rate

   1.09% - 1.10%    1.58% - 1.61%

Expected annual dividend yield

   0%    0%

Expected stock price volatility

   79%    81%

Expected life of stock warrants

   0.5 - 2.6 years    0.4 - 1.4 years

Forfeiture rate

   0%    0%

Share price at period end

   $2.99    $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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 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 cannabis industry growth in our key 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 have not yet been voted on within the Senate. Given that current 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 novel coronavirus or COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 12, 2020 and has caused significant economic uncertainty and consequently it is difficult to reliably measure the potential impact of this uncertainty on our future financial results.

  (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 7.

Market Risk

 

  a.

Currency Risk

The operating results and financial position of the Company are reported in U.S. dollars. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated primarily 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 a $600 thousand foreign exchange gain related to warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2020. See Note 17 for additional detail.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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.

 

  b.

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’s effective interest rates for its Term Loan range from 15.9% to 16.7% and the stated interest rate varies from 12.7% to 13.2% based on the term elected by the lender. The Company’s weighted average effective interest rate for its OCN Loan is 23.8% and its stated interest rate is 10%. See Note 14 for further information.

  c.

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 in stock price by 10% would result in an associated increase or decrease in fair value and Other income (expense), net of $2,072 thousand.

 

  d.

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 24 for the Company’s disclosure of uncertain tax positions.

 

  e.

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 that unforeseen regulatory changes can have on the goals and operations of the business as a whole.

 

21.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net earnings or loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding.

Potentially dilutive securities of approximately 141,843 and 154,410 thousand were excluded in the calculation of EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive due to net losses in both periods.
