NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) included herein have been prepared by Lowell Farms Inc. (the “Company” or “Lowell”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), to present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The operating results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the full fiscal year. The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as of and for the three  months ended March 31, 2024.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after the elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

All dollar amounts in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in thousands of United States dollars (“$” or “US$”), unless otherwise indicated.

In August 2023, the Company effected a reverse stock split consolidating all of its subordinate voting shares (“Subordinate Voting Shares”) on the basis of one post-consolidation Subordinate Voting Share for every ten pre-consolidation Subordinate Voting Shares, effective August 31, 2023 (the “Effective Date”). The Company’s outstanding super voting shares were also consolidated on the same basis as of the Effective Date. All share and per share data presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in these financial statements include allowance for doubtful accounts and credit losses, carrying value of inventory, revenue recognition, accounting for stock-based compensation expense, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The global COVID-19 pandemic impacted the operations and purchasing decisions of companies worldwide. It also created significant uncertainty in the global economy. The Company has undertaken measures to protect its employees, partners, customers, and vendors. To date, the Company has been able to provide uninterrupted access to its products and services, including certain employees that are working remotely, and its pre-existing infrastructure that supports secure access to the Company’s internal systems. If the COVID-19 pandemic were to have an increased forward-looking impact on the productivity of the Company’s employees or its partners’ or customers’ decision to use the Company’s products and services, the results of the Company’s operations and overall financial performance may be adversely impacted. As of the date of issuance of the financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require updates to the Company’s estimates and judgments or revisions to the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and are recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to the unaudited financial statements.

The Company estimates that amortization expense for our existing other intangible assets will average $399 annually for the next five fiscal years.

10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

During 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2019 Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which was amended in April 2020, March 2021 and June 2023. The Plan permits the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, share units, performance shares, performance units and other stock-based awards, and, as of March 31, 2024, 2.3 million shares have been authorized to be issued under the Plan and 0.7 million are available for future grant. The Plan provides for the grant of options as either non-statutory stock options or incentive stock options and restricted stock units to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company to attract and retain persons of ability to perform services for the Company and to reward such individuals who contribute to the achievement by the Company of its economic objectives. The awards granted generally vest in 25% increments over a four-year period and option awards expire 6 years from grant date. 

The Plan is administered by the Board or a committee appointed by the Board, which determines the persons to whom the awards will be granted, the type of awards to be granted, the number of awards to be granted, and the specific terms of each grant, including the vesting thereof, subject to the provisions of the Plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company granted shares to certain employees as compensation for services. These shares were accounted for in accordance with ASC 718 - Compensation - Stock Compensation. The Company amortizes awards over the service period and until awards are fully vested.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, share-based compensation expense was as follows:

11. INCOME TAXES

There was no provision for income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023 due to operating losses incurred in both periods.

12. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Net loss per share represents the net earnings/loss attributable to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period on an as converted basis as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,			March 31,
(in thousands except per share amounts)	2024			2023
Net loss	$	(2,889	)	$	(4,040	)
Net loss per share:
Basic	$	(0.15	)	$	(0.33	)
Diluted	$	(0.15	)	$	(0.33	)
Weighted average shares outstanding:
Basic		19,024			12,177
Diluted		19,024			12,177
Weighted average potentially diluted shares (1):
Basic shares		19,024			12,177
Diluted shares		19,024			12,177

(1) For the above net loss periods, the inclusion of options, warrants, convertible debentures and restricted stock units in the calculation of diluted earnings per share would be anti-dilutive, and accordingly, were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation.

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. An asset’s or liability’s level is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are valued and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the valuation hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expense and other current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

The carrying value of the Company’s debt approximates fair value based on current market rates (Level 2).

Nonrecurring fair value measurements

The Company uses fair value measures when determining assets and liabilities acquired in an acquisition as described above in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which are considered a Level 3 measurement.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contingencies

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 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 March 31, 2024, 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.

The Company is being audited by the IRS for years 2019 and 2020 and may be subject to additional taxes, penalties and interest.

Litigation and Claims

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business.

On January 12, 2024, Cypress Holding Company, LLC (“Cypress”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, surrendered possession of approximately 10 acres of real property at 139 Zabala Road, Salinas, California (the “Zabala Road Property”) leased by Cypress pursuant to a Lease Agreement dated April 1, 2017 (the “Zabala Road Lease”) with Tinhouse, LLC, dba Tinhouse Partners, LLC, as landlord (the “Landlord”). Prior to vacating the premises on January 12, 2024, the Company had operated a cultivation facility, which included four greenhouses totaling approximately 255,000 square feet, on the Zabala Road Property.

19

In January 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors formed a strategic alternatives special committee of independent directors to explore, review and evaluate strategic and financial alternatives. As part of these efforts, Cypress Holding Company, LLC (“Cypress”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into negotiations with Tinhouse, LLC, dba Tinhouse Partners, LLC, as landlord (the “Landlord”) of approximately 10 acres of real property at 139 Zabala Road, Salinas, California (the “Zabala Road Property”) leased by Cypress pursuant to a Lease Agreement dated April 1, 2017 (the “Zabala Road Lease”) to restructure the terms of the Zabala Road Lease, which provided for an expiry date of December 31, 2027, subject to five 5-year extension options exercisable by Cypress.

Later in 2023, the Company and the Landlord reached a settlement amending the terms of the Zabala Road Lease and reaching agreement on all rent-related issues. However, the Landlord declined to finalize the settlement agreement or honor the settlement terms related to rent. Then, on October 9, 2023, the Landlord terminated the Zabala Road Lease via a letter, which was served by its counsel on the Company. In October 2023, the Company filed a lawsuit for breach of contract and specific performance of the settlement agreement against the Landlord in order to enforce the settlement terms. The Landlord filed counterclaims against the Company, claiming damages of more than $36 million, which the Landlord claims are based on an analysis of accelerated rent due through the end of the term of the Zabala Road Lease, along with attorney’s fees, improvements, and other undefined costs.  In a separate lawsuit, the Landlord filed an unlawful detainer action, seeking possession of the Zabala Road property, one year of back rent, attorney’s fees, and other damages.  The unlawful detainer action concluded in January 2024 when the Company surrendered possession of the Zabala Road property to the Landlord.  The court in the unlawful detainer action declined to award any monetary damages to the Landlord in connection with the unlawful detainer lawsuit, instead indicating that any damages related to the unlawful detainer claims would be decided in the lawsuit filed by the Company against the Landlord.

The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims made by the Landlord. However, no assurance can be provided as to whether or not the Company will prevail, and it may be required to pay significant monetary damages. It is difficult to evaluate the likely outcome of a trial at such an early stage and with competing claims and cross-claims. In addition, due to the early nature of the case, an estimate on a loss cannot be made.

A putitive class action was filed on behalf of all California consumers who purchased products made by Lowell Farms, Inc. in California. The case alleges that Lowell failed to accurately label its products with the THC% identified by its testing laboratories, and that California consumers were thereby deceived into paying higher prices for Lowell’s products than they otherwise would have.

No trial has been scheduled in this matter. The parties are presently engaged in the process by which Plaintiff will bring a motion seeking certification of a class. If class certification is denied, then Plaintiff will be relegated to his own damages, which is likely just a few hundred dollars, and the case will likely end. If class certification is granted, then the parties will engage in fact discovery and the Court will set a trial date. The class certification motion is scheduled to be heard on August 26, 2024. Plaintiff has served discovery requests limited to class certification issues, but the parties have not engaged in any merits discovery. It is difficult to evaluate any potential outcome at such an early stage of the case where there has been no merits discovery. The Company is prepared to vigorously defend itself at the trial if a class is certified and a settlement is not reached. It is difficult to evaluate the likely outcome of a trial because Plaintiff has not articulated a theory of damages. In addition, due to the early nature of the case, an estimate of a loss cannot be made.

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

We are a California-based cannabis company with vertically integrated operations including extraction, processing, manufacturing, branding, packaging and wholesale distribution to retail dispensaries. We manufacture and distribute proprietary and a limited number of third-party brands throughout the State of California, the largest cannabis market in the world. We also provide manufacturing, extraction and distribution services to several third-party cannabis and cannabis branding companies. We operate a 40,000 square foot processing facility in Monterey County, a 15,000 square foot manufacturing and laboratory facility in Salinas, California, a separate 21,000 square foot distribution and flower packing facility in Salinas, California and a warehouse depot in Los Angeles, California. On January 12, 2024, we surrendered possession of a 255,000 square foot greenhouse cultivation and warehouse facility. See “Recent Developments.”

Product Offerings

Our present product offerings include flower, pre-rolls, vape pens, oils, extracts, chocolate edibles, mints, gummies, topicals and tinctures. We sell our products under owned and third-party brands. Brands we own include the following: Cypress Cannabis (a premium flower brand); Flavor Extracts (crumble and terp sugar products): House Weed (a value driven flower, vapes and concentrates offering delivering a flavorful and potent experience); Moon (a range of high-potency, high-quality and high-value edibles); Humble Flower (a premium brand offering cannabis-infused topicals, pre-rolls, sublingual tablets); and Original Pot Company (baked edibles). We also exclusively manufacture and distribute Lowell Herb Co. and Lowell Smokes (premium packaged flower, pre-roll, concentrates, and vape products); 35s (a line of automated pre-rolls) and products for several other third party brands in California and provide third party extraction processing and distribution services and bulk extraction concentrates and flower to licensed manufacturers and distributors.

22

Processing and Manufacturing Operations

We operate a 40,000 square foot processing facility in Monterey County in close proximity to our cultivation operations that provides drying, bucking, trimming, sorting, grading, and packaging operations for up to 250,000 pounds of wholesale cannabis flower annually. The facility processed nearly all the cannabis that we grew at our existing cultivation operations until we exited the facility as well as providing processing services for regional growers from primarily the Salinas Valley area.

Our manufacturing facility is located in Salinas, California and houses our edible product operations and extraction and distillation operations. The edible product operations utilize internally produced cannabis oil, which can also be supplied from multiple external sources. Our manufacturing operations produce a wide variety of cannabis-infused products in our 15,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Salinas. Our products include chocolate confections, tinctures, baked goods, hard and soft non-chocolate confections, and topical lotions and balms. Lowell Farms utilizes modern commercial production equipment and employs food grade manufacturing protocols, including industry-leading standard operating procedures designed so that its products meet stringent quality standards. We have implemented updated compliance, packaging and labeling standards to meet the requirements of the California Medical and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act with the advent of adult use legalization in California.

We also operate an automated flower packaging line, an automated pre-roll line and a pre-roll assembly line for making finished goods in those respective categories with feedstock grown at our cultivation operations.

Debt Settlement, Asset Sale and Licensing

On October 6, 2023 the Company repurchased all of the $22,157 aggregate principal amount of outstanding Senior Secured Convertible Debentures together with the related warrants to purchase 10,627,483 subordinate voting shares of the Company and 4,324,845 common shares of Indus. Share amounts reflect the 1 for 10 reverse stock split effective August 31, 2023. A total of 6,849,572 shares of the Company were issued to holders based on the proportion of the outstanding Debentures held by such holder, of (x) membership interests in LF Brandco LLC (“Brandco”), an entity formed to hold the Company’s intellectual property relating to its “Lowell Smokes” and “Lowell Herb Co.” brands (including trademarks, logos and additional identifying marks, domain names and social media accounts).

The Company has entered into a license agreement with Brandco for the “Lowell” trademarks, logos, and related intellectual property on an exclusive basis in the State of California for a five-year license term, with up to three five-year extensions. The Company’s exercise of the extension terms is subject to mutual agreement on certain sales performance criteria for each extension term.

Distribution and Distribution Services

We have a primary distribution center, warehouse and packing facility located in Salinas, California and a warehouse depot in Los Angeles, California. We provide physical warehousing and delivery to retail dispensary customers throughout the State of California for our manufactured products as well as third-party branded products distributed on behalf of other licensed product manufacturers. Deliveries are made daily to over 80% of the licensed dispensaries in California utilizing a fleet of 20 owned and leased vehicles. We provide warehousing, delivery, customer service and collection services for select third-party brands.

Technology Platform

We maintain an automated, on-demand supply chain logistics platform, utilizing e-commerce, enterprise resource planning and other technology to manage product movement, order taking and logistics needs.

Inventory Management

We have comprehensive inventory management procedures, which we believe are compliant with the rules set forth by the California Department of Cannabis Control (formerly the California Department of Consumer Affairs’ Bureau of Cannabis Control) and all other applicable state and local laws, regulations, ordinances, and other requirements. These procedures ensure strict control over Lowell Farms’ cannabis and cannabis product inventory from cultivation or manufacture to sale and delivery to a licensed dispensary, distributor or manufacturer, or disposal as cannabis waste. Such inventory management procedures also include measures to prevent contamination and maintain the quality of the products cultivated, manufactured or distributed.

23

Sources, Pricing and Availability of Raw Materials, Component Parts or Finished Products

We source flower for sale from multiple high quality and reliable growers. We have developed relationships with local cannabis growers whereby flower quantities are readily available at competitive prices should the sourcing need arise. We source our biomass needs from third-party suppliers. Biomass material is readily available from multiple sources at competitive prices. Lowell Farms manufactures substantially all cannabis oil and distillate needs from its internal extraction operations. A small amount of specialized cannabis oil is procured from multiple external sources at competitive prices. Lowell Farms manufactures all finished goods for its proprietary brands. Third-party distributed brand product is sourced directly from third-party partners. 

Recent Developments

Surrender of Cultivation Facility

On January 12, 2024, Cypress Holding Company, LLC (“Cypress”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, surrendered possession of approximately 10 acres of real property at 139 Zabala Road, Salinas, California (the “Zabala Road Property”) leased by Cypress pursuant to a Lease Agreement dated April 1, 2017 (the “Zabala Road Lease”) with Tinhouse, LLC, dba Tinhouse Partners, LLC, as landlord (the “Landlord”). Prior to vacating the premises on January 12, 2024, the Company had operated a cultivation facility, which included four greenhouses totaling approximately 255,000 square feet, on the Zabala Road Property.

In January 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors formed a strategic alternatives special committee of independent directors to explore, review and evaluate strategic and financial alternatives. As part of these efforts, Cypress Holding Company, LLC (“Cypress”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into negotiations with Tinhouse, LLC, dba Tinhouse Partners, LLC, as landlord (the “Landlord”) of approximately 10 acres of real property at 139 Zabala Road, Salinas, California (the “Zabala Road Property”) leased by Cypress pursuant to a Lease Agreement dated April 1, 2017 (the “Zabala Road Lease”) to restructure the terms of the Zabala Road Lease, which provided for an expiry date of December 31, 2027, subject to five 5-year extension options exercisable by Cypress.

It is difficult to evaluate the likely outcome of a trial at such an early stage and with competing claims and cross-claims. In addition, due to the early nature of the case, an estimate on a loss cannot be made.

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial and Performance Measures

The Company has provided certain supplemental non-GAAP financial measures in this MD&A. Where the Company has provided such non-GAAP financial measures, we have also provided a reconciliation below to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should only be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented herein.

In this MD&A, reference is made to adjusted EBITDA and working capital which are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. The Company calculates each as follows:

 EBITDA is net income (loss), excluding the effects of income taxes (recovery); net interest expense; depreciation and amortization; and adjusted EBITDA also includes unrealized foreign currency gains/losses; share-based compensation expense; and other transactional and special expenses, such as out-of-period insurance and tax recoveries and acquisition costs and expenses related to the markup of acquired finished goods inventory, which are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are not what we consider as typical of our continuing operations. Management believes this measure provides useful information as it is a commonly used measure in the capital markets and as it is a close proxy for repeatable cash generated by operations. We use adjusted EBITDA internally to understand, manage, make operating decisions related to cash flow generated from operations and evaluate our business. In addition, we use adjusted EBITDA to help plan and forecast future periods.

Working capital is current assets less current liabilities. Management believes the calculation of working capital provides additional information to investors about the Company’s liquidity. We use working capital internally to understand, manage, make operating decisions related to cash flow required to fund operational activity and evaluate our business cash flow needs. In addition, we use working capital to help plan and forecast future periods. 

These measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The table below reconciles Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

Revenue

We derive our revenue from sales of extracts, distillates, branded and packaged cannabis flower, pre-rolls, concentrates and edible products to retail licensed dispensaries and bulk flower, biomass and concentrates to licensed manufacturers and distributors in the state of California. In addition, we distribute proprietary and several third-party brands throughout the state of California, and we provide fee services for drying and processing third-party product for licensed cultivators in the State of California. We licensed the Lowell Smokes brand in Illinois and Massachusetts beginning in 2021 and in Colorado and New Mexico beginning in 2022. In October 2023, as part of the Debenture Repurchase, the Company sold the rights to the Lowell Smokes brand.  The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of goods to customers since at this time performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company classifies its revenues into the following major categories: Consumer Packaged Goods (“CPG”) revenue, Bulk revenue, Lowell Farm Services revenue, and Licensing revenue.

· CPG products are primarily sales of proprietary and exclusively licensed brands of the Company.

· Bulk product includes revenue from flower, biomass and distillates sales.

· Lowell Farm Services revenue is related to our processing facility that provides drying, bucking, trimming, sorting, grading, and packaging services.

· Licensing revenue includes fees from licensing the Lowell Smokes brand and sales of packaging and support services associated with non-California based activities.

Revenue by Category

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2023:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,		March 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023		$ Change			% Change
CPG	$	4,125	$	4,659	$	(534	)		-11	%
Bulk		681		2,530		(1,849	)		-73	%
Lowell Farm Services		68		115		(47	)		-41	%
Licensing		-		222		(222	)		-100	%
Net revenue	$	4,874	$	7,526	$	(2,652	)		-35	%

CPG revenues decreased $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily as a result of reduced sales volumes of packaged flower, and pre-rolls. The reduction in revenue is partially driven by additional procedures to manage credit risk by only selling to credit worthy customers as well as managing the business as it shifts to procuring cannabis raw material from suppliers as the Company shifts away from self-grown cannabis raw material. This change in strategy temporarily reduced available inventory as the Company transitioned to new suppliers. Lowell brand revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $2.9 million and represented 70% of CPG revenues compared to $3.9 million in revenue and 84% of CPG sales in the same period in the prior year. The Company continues to expand its portfolio of distributed brands which has grown to $1.0 million in revenue during the current period, compared to $0.2 million in the same period of the prior year.

Bulk sales decreased $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decline during the year was the result of the Company shifting to procuring cannabis raw material from suppliers, as opposed to utilizing self-grown flower. This decision has enabled the Company to strategically purchase cannabis raw material to match demand for the CPG market but has limited the available cannabis raw material for bulk sales. The decrease in revenue reflected a 66% decrease in total pounds sold and a 10% increase in price per pound.

LFS and licensing revenues generated $0.1 million and $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. During the current period, the Company was primarily focused on managing the procurement of third party flower for CPG products, as opposed to third party processing. No licensing revenues were generated in 2024 reflecting the sale of the Lowell Smokes brand in October 2023.

Cost of Sales, Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Cost of goods sold consists of direct and indirect costs of production processing and distribution, and includes amounts paid for direct labor, raw materials, packaging, operating supplies, and allocated overhead, which includes allocations of right of use asset depreciation, insurance, managerial salaries, utilities, and other expenses, such as employee training, cultivation taxes and product testing. The Company manufactures for several brands and processes for cultivators that do not have the capability, licensing or capacity to process their own products. The fees earned for these activities absorb fixed overhead in manufacturing and generates service revenue. Our focus in 2024 is expected to be on flower, pre-rolls and on processing third party product at our processing facility. With the exit from the cultivation facility during early 2024, we will be able to react quickly to the demands of the market to better source our production needs and better control spending on third party purchased flower to manage cash outflows on flower and CPG manufacturing. We are focusing on improving our technology workflow to enable us to match production more closely with demand, executing smaller, more frequent production runs to lower inventory working capital, optimize efficiencies and expedite product getting to the market faster.

Gross profit	$	(827	)	$	132		$	(959	)		-727	%
Gross margin	-17.0		%		1.8	%

Gross margin was (17%) and 1.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Gross profit was adversely affected during the period by expenses incurred as a result of the transition away from the cultivation facility in early 2024. The expenses incurred were related to labor costs, utilities and general overhead expenses. As the Company finalizes recording the exit from the cultivation facility, these expenses are not expected to recur and the non-revenue generating expenses have unfavorably impacted gross profit and margin in the current period. Further impacting gross margin is a reduction in CPG volumes generating high fixed costs per unit and increased depreciation expense related to operating lease classification of existing leases.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses consist primarily of costs incurred at our corporate offices; personnel costs; selling, marketing, and other professional service costs including legal and accounting; and licensing costs. Sales and marketing expenses consist of selling costs to support our customer relationships, including investments in marketing and brand activities and corporate infrastructure required to support our ongoing business. Selling costs as a percentage of retail revenue are expected to decrease as our business continues to grow due to efficiencies associated with scaling the business.  We expect to incur periodic transaction costs related to expansion efforts and to continue to invest where appropriate in the general and administrative function to support the increasing complexity of the cannabis business.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2023:

	Three Months Ended

Total operating expenses	$	2,059		$	2,514		$	(455	)		-18	%
% of net revenue		42	%		33	%

Total operating expenses decreased $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily reflecting headcount reductions between years, operating efficiencies and offset by increased legal fees incurred. Operating expenses increased as a percentage of net revenue to 42% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 33% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 Other Income (Expense)

 Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2023:

Other income (expense) decreased $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of the prior year. The change was driven by the prior year results, which included interest expense related to convertible debentures, mortgage payable and interest expense on leased facilities. During the current period, the Company classifies leases as operating leases, with interest expense reflected in cost of goods sold.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary need for liquidity is to fund the working capital requirements of our business, capital expenditures, general corporate purposes, and lease financing service. Our primary source of liquidity has been funds generated by financing activities. Our ability to fund our operations, to make planned capital expenditures, to make scheduled lease payments depends on our future operating performance and cash flows, and ability to obtain equity or debt financing, which are subject to prevailing economic conditions, as well as financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Cash generated from ongoing operations have not been sufficient to fund operations and, in particular, to fund the Company’s short term capital investments into manufacturing and cultivation expansions or to fund growth initiatives in the long-term. The Company raised additional funds from a $9.0 million sale leaseback transaction during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

At March 31, 2024, we had $1.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.1 million of working capital, compared to $2.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $3.5 million of working capital at December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, included in working capital is $1.0 million of deposits that are held for future cash management needs.

The Company is focused on improving its balance sheet by improving accounts receivable collections, right-sizing inventories and increasing gross profits. We have taken a number of steps to improve our cash position and to continue to fund operations and capital expenditures including:

· Focusing on collection of principal balances only;

· Scaled back our investment in and support for non-core brands;

· Focused marketing and brand development activities on significantly growing Lowell and owned brands;

· Restructured our organization and identified operating, selling and administrative expense cost efficiencies;

· Developed Lowell Farm Services to add revenue, cash flow generation and potential flower sourcing through processing third party flower;

· In 2022 and 2023 we reduced headcount and significantly decreased our seasonal workforce as we focus on necessary infrastructure to support our current operations;

· In 2023, re-negotiating leases on facility space, including leasing more economically feasible facilities in Los Angeles and selling and leasing back our processing facility; and

· In January 2024, exited our cultivation facility to take advantage of profitably sourcing flower from multiple third party sources. Refer to “Recent Developments.”

Cash Flows

The following table presents the Company’s net cash inflows and outflows from the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,			March 31,			Change
(in thousands)	2024			2023			$			%
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(1,025	)	$	912		$	(1,937	)		-212	%
Net cash used in investing activities		-			(29	)		29			100	%
Net cash used in financing activities		(111	)		(687	)		576			84	%
Change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(1,136	)	$	196		$	(1,332	)		680	%

Cash used in operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a $1.9 million unfavorable decline, or 212%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The change was primarily driven by a $1.1 million increase in accounts payable in the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a minimal change in the prior year period, and a $0.4 million decrease in accounts receivable in the current year, compared to a $1.2 million decrease in accounts receivable in the same period in the prior year. The reduction in accounts receivable is driven by collection efforts of the Company and increased credit risk management procedures, as well as an overall reduction in total sales during the current period. The Company recorded $0.3 million of operating lease payments during the current period.

Cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company did not make any new significant investments into long-lived fixed assets during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Cash used in financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a favorable change over cash used in financing activities of $0.7 million in the same period of the prior year. The change was due to a reduction in lease payments after the Company exited its cultivation facility in 2023, as well as reclassifying existing leases as operating leases.

Working Capital and Cash on Hand

The following table presents the Company’s cash on hand and working capital position as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

⁽¹⁾ Non-GAAP measure - see Non-GAAP Financial Measures in this MD&A. (Total current assets less total current liabilities)

At March 31, 2024, we had $1.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.1 million of working capital, compared to $2.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $3.5 million of working capital at December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities.

The Company’s future working capital is expected to be significantly impacted by the growth in operations, continuing margin improvement and the ability to manage the growing complexity of the cannabis business.

CHANGES IN OR ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023. Also see Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for changes of adoption of accounting pronouncements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

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

· Estimated Credit Losses - Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts and when credit terms are extended to customers, management performs a periodic assessment of whether accounts receivable will be collected. A reserve is booked against doubtful accounts and determined based on factors such as credit worthiness of the customer, past performance with the customer, the age of the receivable and the customer’s ability to pay outstanding amounts.

· Estimated Useful Lives and Depreciation of Property and Equipment - Depreciation of property and equipment is dependent upon estimates of useful lives which are determined through the exercise of judgment. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.

·  Estimated Useful Lives and Amortization of Intangible Assets - Amortization of intangible assets is recorded on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed the contractual period, if any.

· Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at the acquisition date fair values as defined by accounting standards related to fair value measurements.

· Fair Value of Investments in Private Entities - The Company uses discounted cash flow model to determine fair value of its investment in private entities. In estimating fair value, management is required to make certain assumptions and estimates such as discount rate, long term growth rate and, estimated free cash flows.

· Share-Based Compensation - The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and warrants granted. In estimating fair value, management is required to make certain assumptions and estimates such as the expected life of units, volatility of the Company’s future share price, risk free rates, future dividend yields and estimated forfeitures at the initial grant date. Changes in assumptions used to estimate fair value could result in materially different results.

· Deferred Tax Asset and Valuation Allowance - Deferred tax assets, including those arising from tax loss carry-forwards, requires management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate sufficient taxable earnings in future periods in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. In addition, future changes in tax laws could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in future periods. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the net deferred tax assets recorded at the reporting date could be impacted.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities; current portion of long-term debt; and long-term debt. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used to make the measurements. The hierarchy is summarized as follows:

· Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) that are in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

· Level 2 - Inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or indirectly (derived from prices) for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions

· Level 3 - Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based upon observable market data

The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments and other risks to which it is exposed and assess the impact and likelihood of those risks.

These risks include: market, credit, liquidity, asset forfeiture, banking and interest rate risk.

Credit 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. All cash and cash equivalents are placed with U.S. and Canadian financial institutions.

· The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk but has limited risk as a significant portion of its sales are transacted with cash.

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.

31

·  In addition to the commitments outlined in Note 14, the Company has the following contractual obligations at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

	Maturity: < 1 Year
	March 31,		December 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023
Accounts payable and Other accrued liabilities	$	6,424	$	6,257

Market Risk

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

Interest Rate Risk

· Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s interest-bearing loans and borrowings are all at fixed interest rates; therefore, the Company is not exposed to interest rate risk on these financial liabilities. The Company considers interest rate risk to be immaterial.

Price Risk

· Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. Cannabis is a developing market and subject to volatile and possibly declining prices year over year, including volatility in bulk flower pricing, as a result of increased competition and other factors. Because adult-use cannabis is a newly commercialized and regulated industry in the State of California, historical price data is either not available or not predictive of future price levels. There may be downward pressure on the average price for cannabis. There can be no assurance that price volatility will be favorable or in line with expectations. Pricing will depend on general factors including, but not limited to, the number of licenses granted by the local and state governments, the supply such licensees are able to generate, activity by unlicensed producers and sellers and consumer demand for cannabis. An adverse change in cannabis prices, or in investors’ beliefs about trends in those prices, could have a material adverse outcome on the Company and its valuation.

Asset Forfeiture Risk

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

Banking Risk

· Notwithstanding that a majority of states have legalized medical marijuana, there has been no change in U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the marijuana industry. Given that U.S. federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there are arguments that financial institutions cannot accept for deposit funds from businesses involved with the marijuana industry and legislative efforts to provide greater certainty to financial institutions have not been successful. Consequently, businesses involved in the marijuana industry often have difficulty accessing the U.S. banking system and traditional financing sources. The inability to open bank accounts with certain institutions may make it difficult to operate the business of the Company, its subsidiaries and investee companies, and leaves their cash holdings vulnerable.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Zabala Road Lease

On January 12, 2024, Cypress Holding Company, LLC (“Cypress”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, surrendered possession of approximately 10 acres of real property at 139 Zabala Road, Salinas, California (the “Zabala Road Property”) leased by Cypress pursuant to a Lease Agreement dated April 1, 2017 (the “Zabala Road Lease”) with Tinhouse, LLC, dba Tinhouse Partners, LLC, as landlord (the “Landlord”). Prior to vacating the premises on January 12, 2024, the Company had operated a cultivation facility, which included four greenhouses totaling approximately 255,000 square feet, on the Zabala Road Property.

In January 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors formed a strategic alternatives special committee of independent directors to explore, review and evaluate strategic and financial alternatives. As part of these efforts, Cypress Holding Company, LLC (“Cypress”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into negotiations with Tinhouse, LLC, dba Tinhouse Partners, LLC, as landlord (the “Landlord”) of approximately 10 acres of real property at 139 Zabala Road, Salinas, California (the “Zabala Road Property”) leased by Cypress pursuant to a Lease Agreement dated April 1, 2017 (the “Zabala Road Lease”) to restructure the terms of the Zabala Road Lease, which provided for an expiry date of December 31, 2027, subject to five 5-year extension options exercisable by Cypress.

Later in 2023, the Company and the Landlord reached a settlement amending the terms of the Zabala Road Lease and reaching agreement on all rent-related issues. However, the Landlord declined to finalize the settlement agreement or honor the settlement terms related to rent. Then, on October 9, 2023, the Landlord terminated the Zabala Road Lease via a letter, which was served by its counsel on the Company. In October 2023, the Company filed a lawsuit for breach of contract and specific performance of the settlement agreement against the Landlord in order to enforce the settlement terms. The Landlord filed counterclaims against the Company, claiming damages of more than $36 million, which the Landlord claims are based on an analysis of accelerated rent due through the end of the term of the Zabala Road Lease, along with attorney’s fees, improvements, and other undefined costs.  In a separate lawsuit, the Landlord filed an unlawful detainer action, seeking possession of the Zabala Road property, one year of back rent, attorney’s fees, and other damages.  The unlawful detainer action concluded in January 2024 when the Company surrendered possession of the Zabala Road property to the Landlord.  The court in the unlawful detainer action declined to award any monetary damages to the Landlord in connection with the unlawful detainer lawsuit, instead indicating that any damages related to the unlawful detainer claims would be decided in the lawsuit filed by the Company against the Landlord.

The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims made by the Landlord. However, no assurance can be provided as to whether or not the Company will prevail, and it may be required to pay significant monetary damages. It is difficult to evaluate the likely outcome of a trial at such an early stage and with competing claims and cross-claims. In addition, due to the early nature of the case, an estimate on a loss cannot be made.

Potency and Labeling

A putative class action was filed in the Los Angeles County California Superior Court on behalf of all California consumers who purchased products made by Lowell Farms, Inc. in California. The case alleges that Lowell failed to accurately label its products with the THC% identified by its testing laboratories, and that California consumers were thereby deceived into paying higher prices for Lowell’s products than they otherwise would have.

No trial has been scheduled in this matter. The parties are presently engaged in the process by which Plaintiff will bring a motion seeking certification of a class. The class certification motion is scheduled to be heard on August 26, 2024. Plaintiff has served discovery requests limited to class certification issues, but the parties have not engaged in any merits discovery. It is difficult to evaluate any potential outcome at such an early stage of the case where there has been no merits discovery. The Company is prepared to vigorously defend itself at the trial if a class is certified and a settlement is not reached. It is difficult to evaluate the likely outcome of a trial because Plaintiff has not articulated a theory of damages. In addition, due to the early nature of the case, an estimate of a loss cannot be made.

There are no other legal proceedings material to the Company to which the Company or a subsidiary thereof is a party or of which any of their respective property is the subject matter, nor are there any such proceedings known to the Company to be contemplated, and there have been no such legal proceedings during the Company’s most recently completed financial year or the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 there were no unregistered sales of equity related securities identified, outside of those already reported.

Item 5.  Other Information

Securities Trading Plans of Directors and Executive Officers

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, none of our directors or executive officers adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K).
