(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business

MariMed Inc. (“MariMed” or the “Company”) is a multi-state operator in the United States cannabis industry. MariMed develops, operates, manages and optimizes state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant facilities for the cultivation, production, and dispensing of medical and adult use cannabis. MariMed also licenses its proprietary brands of cannabis, along with other top brands, in domestic markets.

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

On March 9, 2023 (the "Ermont Acquisition Date"), the Company acquired the operating assets of Ermont, Inc. ("Ermont"), a medical-licensed vertical cannabis operator located in Quincy, Massachusetts (the "Ermont Acquisition"). The financial results of Ermont are included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements since the Ermont Acquisition Date.

On April 27, 2022 (the “Kind Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired Kind Therapeutics USA (“Kind”), the Company's former client in Maryland that holds licenses for the cultivation, production and dispensing of medical cannabis (the "Kind Acquisition"). The financial results of Kind are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods subsequent to the Kind Acquisition Date.

The Company completed two acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2022 that it recorded as asset purchases. On May 5, 2022 (the "Green Growth Acquisition Date"), the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity of Green Growth Group Inc. ("Green Growth"), an entity that holds a craft cultivation and production cannabis license in Illinois (the "Green Growth Acquisition").

Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management 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 reporting amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and judgments relied upon in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements include accounting for business combinations and asset purchases, inventory valuations, assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation, and intangible assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The fair values of these investments approximate their carrying values.

At each of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $0.1 million of cash held in escrow.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values and include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deferred rents receivable, notes receivable, term loans, mortgages and notes payable, and accounts payable.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The three-tier fair value hierarchy is based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

•Level 1. Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2. Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets).

•Level 3. Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) and does not believe that the future adoption of any such ASUs will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

(2) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ASSET PURCHASES

Business Combinations

Ermont

On February 21, 2023, the Company announced its intention to acquire the operating assets of Ermont, a medical licensed vertical cannabis operator, located in Quincy, Massachusetts, subject to approval by the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (the "CCC"). In March 2023, the CCC approved the Company's acquisition of Ermont, and the Ermont Acquisition was completed on March 9, 2023. The Ermont Acquisition provided the Company with its third dispensary in Massachusetts, substantially completing its build-out to the maximum allowable by state regulations.

Table of Contents

As consideration for the Ermont Acquisition, which totaled $13.0 million, the Company paid $3.0 million of cash, issued 6,580,390 shares of the Company's common stock, and issued a $7.0 million promissory note (the "Ermont Note" and collectively, the "Ermont Consideration"). The Ermont Note has a six-year term and bears interest at 6.0% per annum, with payments of interest-only for two years and thereafter, quarterly payments of principal and interest in arrears. The outstanding balance on the Ermont Note is due and payable in full if and when the Company raises $75.0 million of equity capital.

The Company rebranded the dispensary as Panacea Wellness Dispensary and commenced medical sales immediately after the Ermont Acquisition Date. The Ermont Acquisition also includes a Host Community Agreement with the city of Quincy to conduct adult-use cannabis sales. The Company expects to commence adult-use sales upon approval by the CCC. The Company also plans to expand the existing medical dispensary to accommodate expected increased traffic associated with adult-use sales and to repurpose Ermont's existing cultivation facility for its pheno-hunting activities. The Company has moved its pheno-hunting out of the New Bedford facility to use the freed space to cultivate its Nature's Heritage flower.

The Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023 includes $1.1 million of revenue and $1.1 million of net loss attributable to Ermont. The Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 includes $1.4 million of revenue and $1.2 million of net loss attributable to Ermont for the period since the Ermont Acquisition Date.

The Ermont Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. The Company did not assume any of Ermont's liabilities. A summary of the preliminary allocation of the Ermont Consideration to the acquired and identifiable intangible assets is as follows (in thousands):


Fair value of consideration transferred:
Cash consideration:
Cash paid	$	3,000
Less cash acquired	(13)
Net cash consideration	2,987
Common stock	2,994
Promissory note	4,569
Total fair value of consideration	$	10,550


Fair value of assets acquired and (liabilities assumed):

Property and equipment	$	800
Intangible assets:
Tradename and trademarks	1,063
Customer base	4,642
License	131

Goodwill	3,914

Fair value of net assets acquired	$	10,550

The Company is amortizing the identifiable intangible assets arising from the Ermont Acquisition in relation to the expected cash flows from the individual intangible assets over their respective useful lives, which have a weighted average life of 10.71 years (see Note 9). Goodwill results from assets not separately identifiable as part of the transaction, and is not deductible for tax purposes.

Kind

In December 2021, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with the members of Kind to acquire 100% of the equity ownership of Kind in exchange for $13.5 million payable in cash (subject to certain adjustments) and $6.5 million, payable by the issuance of four-year 6.0% promissory notes to the members of Kind, secured by a first priority lien on the Company’s property in Hagerstown, Maryland (collectively, the “Kind Consideration”). Kind was the Company's client in Maryland that held licenses for the cultivation, production and dispensing of medical cannabis. Upon execution of the membership interest purchase agreement, the Company deposited $5.0 million into escrow as a contract down payment.

Table of Contents

In April 2022, the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission approved the Company’s acquisition of Kind, and the Kind Acquisition was completed on April 27, 2022. Following the Kind Acquisition, litigation between the Company and the members of Kind was dismissed (see Note 18).

The Kind Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. A summary of the final allocation of the Kind Consideration to the acquired assets, identifiable intangible assets and certain assumed liabilities is as follows (in thousands):


Fair value of consideration transferred:
Cash consideration:
Cash paid at closing	$	10,128
Release of escrow	2,444
Severance paid from escrow	556

Licenses and customer base	4,700
Non-compete agreements	42
Goodwill	6,011
Current liabilities	(511)
Fair value of net assets acquired	$	17,952

The Company is amortizing the identifiable intangible assets arising from the Kind Acquisition in relation to the expected cash flows from the individual intangible assets over their respective useful lives, which have a weighted average life of 5.77 years (see Note 9). Goodwill results from assets not separately identifiable as part of the transaction, and is not deductible for tax purposes.

Concurrent with entering into the Kind membership purchase agreement, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with one of the members of Kind to acquire such member’s entire equity ownership interest in (i) Mari Holdings MD LLC (“Mari-MD”), the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary that owns production and retail cannabis facilities in Hagerstown, Maryland and Annapolis, Maryland, and (ii) Mia Development LLC (“Mia”), the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary that owns production and retail cannabis facilities in Wilmington, Delaware. Upon the dismissal in September 2022 of the derivative claims in the DiPietro lawsuit (see Note 18), the Company paid the aggregate purchase consideration of $2.0 million, and the transaction was completed, increasing the Company’s then-current ownership of Mari-MD and Mia to 99.7% and 94.3%, respectively.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents the condensed combined results of MariMed and Kind for the year ended December 31, 2022 as if the Kind Acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2021, with adjustments to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the Kind Acquisition. These pro forma adjustments include the reversal of MariMed revenue and related cost of sales derived from Kind prior to the Kind Acquisition Date, amortization expense for the acquired intangible assets, depreciation expense for property and equipment acquired by MariMed as part of the Kind Acquisition, and interest expense related to the Kind Notes. Pro forma adjustments also include the elimination of acquisition-related and other expenses directly attributable to the Kind Acquisition incurred during the year ended December 31, 2022.

The pro forma financial results for the year ended December 31, 2022, giving effect to the Kind Acquisition as if it had occurred at January 1, 2021 are as follows (unaudited, in thousands):





Revenue	$	136,078
Net income	$	15,823

Valuation of Acquired Intangible Assets

The valuation of acquired intangible assets is inherently subjective and relies on significant unobservable inputs. The Company uses an income approach to value acquired tradename/trademarks, licenses/customer base, and non-compete intangible assets. The valuation for each of these intangible assets was based on estimated projections of expected cash flows to be generated by the assets discounted to the present value at discount rates commensurate with perceived risk. The valuation assumptions take into consideration the Company’s estimates of new markets, products and customers and its outcome through key assumptions driving asset values, including sales growth, royalty rates and other related costs.

Asset Purchases

Green Growth

In January 2022, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the equity ownership of Green Growth Group Inc. (“Green Growth”), an entity that holds a craft cultivation and production cannabis license issued by the Illinois Department of Agriculture, in exchange for cash of $1.9 million and shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $1.5 million. Concurrently, the Company made a good faith deposit of $0.1 million.

In April 2022, the Illinois Department of Agriculture approved the Company’s acquisition of Green Growth, and the Green Growth Acquisition was completed on May 5, 2022. The Company paid the remaining $1.8 million in cash and issued 2,343,750 shares of common stock to the sellers on the Green Growth Acquisition Date. With this license, the Company can cultivate up to 14,000 square feet of canopy to grow cannabis flower and produce cannabis concentrates. The Company has allocated the purchase price to its licenses/customer base intangible asset, with an estimated useful life of ten years.

Greenhouse Naturals

In November 2021, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Greenhouse Naturals LLC (the "Greenhouse Naturals Sellers") to acquire the cannabis license and assume the property lease associated with a cannabis dispensary in Beverly, MA.

The Greenhouse Naturals Acquisition was completed on December 30, 2022, on which date the Company paid $0.1 million of cash and issued 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, with a fair value of $0.7 million, to the Greenhouse Naturals Sellers. The Company issued a note to the Greenhouse Naturals Sellers for the remaining $5.0 million of the cash purchase price payable post-closing on a monthly basis as a percentage of the dispensary's monthly gross sales (the "Greenhouse Naturals Note"). The Company has recorded the Greenhouse Naturals Note at present value of $4.3 million. The difference between the face value of the Greenhouse Naturals Note and the net present value recorded will be amortized to interest expense over the term of such note. The final inspection by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts was completed in April 2023, and the Company opened the dispensary on April 25, 2023. The Company has allocated the purchase price to a licenses/customer base intangible asset, which has an estimated useful life of 10 years.

Pending Transactions

Allgreens Dispensary, LLC ("Allgreens")

In August 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 100% of the membership interests in Allgreens Dispensary, LLC (the "Allgreens Agreement"), a conditional adult-use cannabis dispensary license in Illinois for $2.25

million of cash. Completion of the acquisition is dependent upon certain conditions, including resolution of any remaining legal challenges affecting nearly 200 social equity dispensary licenses, and regulatory approval of the acquisition. If the closing conditions are met and the acquisition is completed, which the Company expects to occur in 2023, the Company would have five adult-use dispensaries operating in Illinois.

Pursuant to the Allgreens Agreement, the Company has made payments aggregating $0.5 million to the Allgreens members, with additional cash payments aggregating $1.75 million to be made as specific milestones are reached. The Company will issue promissory notes for the final payment of $1.0 million, which will be issued at closing (the "Allgreens Notes"). The Allgreens Notes will mature one year from the date the dispensary may begin operating.

Robust Missouri Process and Manufacturing, LLC ("Robust")

In September 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the membership interests in Robust Missouri Processing and Manufacturing 1, LLC (the "Robust Agreement"), a Missouri wholesale and cultivator, for $0.7 million of cash. Completion of the acquisition is dependent upon obtaining all requisite approvals from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, which is expected to occur in 2023. Pursuant to

the Robust Agreement, the Company has made an initial advance payment of $350,000 to the Robust members, with an additional payment of $350,000 to be made at closing.

(3) EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. For periods in which the Company reports net income, diluted net income per share is determined by using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, unless the effect is antidilutive.

The number of shares used to compute earnings (loss) per share were as follows (in thousands):


	Three months ended		Six months ended
	June 30, 2023	June 30, 2022	June 30, 2023	June 30, 2022
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic	361,261	337,497	352,079	336,137
Potential dilutive common shares	—	42,129	—	43,088
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted	361,261	379,626	352,079	379,225

(4) DEFERRED RENTS RECEIVABLE

The Company is the lessor under operating leases, which contain escalating rents over time, rent holidays; options to renew; requirements to pay property taxes; insurance and/or maintenance costs; and contingent rental payments based on a percentage of monthly tenant revenues. The Company is not the lessor under any finance leases.

The Company recognizes fixed rental receipts from such lease agreements on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Differences between amounts received and amounts recognized are recorded in Deferred rents receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contingent rentals are recognized only after tenants’ revenues are finalized and if such revenues exceed certain minimum levels.

The Company is the lessor of the following owned properties:

•Delaware – a 45,000 square foot cannabis cultivation, processing, and dispensary facility, which is leased to its cannabis-licensed client under a triple net lease that expires in 2035.

Table of Contents

First State Compassion Center

The Company’s cannabis-licensed client in Delaware, First State Compassion Center (“FSCC”), issued a 10-year promissory note to the Company in May 2016 for $0.7 million, bearing interest at a rate of 12.5% per annum and maturing in April 2026, as amended (the “FSCC Initial Note”). The monthly payments on the FSCC Initial Note were approximately $10,000. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the current portions of the FSCC Initial Note were approximately $90,000 and $85,000, respectively, and were included in Notes receivable, current portion, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In December 2021, the Company converted financed trade accounts receivable balances from FSCC aggregating $7.8 million into notes receivable, which was net of the $1.3 million debt issuance discount recorded in connection with the conversion, whereby FSCC issued promissory notes aggregating $7.8 million to the Company (the “FSCC Secondary Notes”). The FSCC Secondary Notes bore interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum and matured in December 2025. FSCC was required to make periodic payments of principal and interest throughout the term of the FSCC Secondary Notes. At December 31, 2022, the FSCC Secondary Notes balance included approximately $49,000 of unpaid accrued interest. The balance at June 30, 2023 did not include accrued interest, as the Company granted FSCC an interest holiday for the six months then ended. The increase in the FSCC Secondary Notes in the six months ended June 30, 2023 was attributable to the accretion of the original debt discount, which increased the value of such notes. At each of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the current portions of the FSCC Secondary Notes aggregated $2.5 million.

In December 2022, the Company converted amounts due from FSCC aggregating $750,000 into a note receivable, whereby FSCC issued a promissory note to the Company for $750,000 (the "FSCC New Note"). The FSCC New Note bore interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum and matured in December 2026. FSCC was required to make quarterly interest payments, with the full amount of principal due on December 31, 2026; however, the Company granted FSCC an interest holiday for the six months ended June 30, 2023. At each of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the entire balance of the FSCC New Note was long-term.

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company converted $879,000 due from FSCC into a note receivable (the "FSCC Second New Note"), which was subsequently consolidated into an Omnibus Agreement with FSCC, which is described below.

In July 2023, the Company entered into an Omnibus Agreement with FSCC: (a) consolidating all amounts owing from FSCC to the Company and its affiliated entities, aggregating $11.0 million (the "FSCC Consolidated Note"), which includes the amounts due under the FSCC Initial Note, the FSCC Secondary Notes, the FSCC New Note and the FSCC Second New Note; (b) providing for the automatic conversion of the FSCC Consolidated Note, upon the approval of adult cannabis use in Delaware into 100% ownership of FSCC's licenses and business; and (c) extending to FSCC, in the Company's sole discretion, up to an additional $2.0 million of working capital loans. The FSCC Consolidated Note has a term of five years, with an automatic five-year extension if adult cannabis use is not approved in Delaware by the maturity date, bears interest, compounded semiannually and payable annually, at the appropriate rate of interest in effect under Sections 1274(d), 482 and 7872 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as calculated under Rev. Ruling 86-17, 1986-1 C.B. 377, for the period for which the amount of interest is being determined.

Healer LLC

In March 2021, the Company was issued a promissory note in the principal amount of approximately $0.9 million from Healer LLC, an entity that provides cannabis education, dosage programs, and products developed by Dr. Dustin Sulak (“Healer”). The principal balance of the note represents previous loans extended to Healer by the Company of $0.8 million, plus accrued interest through the revised promissory note issuance date of approximately $94,000 (the “Revised Healer Note”). The Revised Healer Note bears interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum and requires quarterly payments of interest through the April 2026 maturity date.

The Company has the right to offset any licensing fees payable by the Company to Healer in the event Healer fails to make any payment when due. In March 2021, the Company offset approximately $28,000 of licensing fees payable to Healer against the principal balance of the Revised Healer Note, reducing the principal amount to approximately $866,000. Of the outstanding Revised Healer Note balance at each of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately $52,000 was current.

(10) TERM LOAN

Credit Agreement

On January 24, 2023, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, by and among the Company, subsidiaries of the Company from time-to-time party thereto (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”), lenders from time-to-time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Chicago Atlantic Admin, LLC (“Chicago Atlantic”), as administrative agent for the Lenders (the "Credit Agreement").

Proceeds from the Credit Agreement were designated to complete the build-out of a new cultivation and processing facility in Illinois, complete the build-out of a new processing kitchen in Missouri, expand existing cultivation and processing facilities in Massachusetts and Maryland, fund certain capital expenditures, and repay in full the Kind Notes incurred in connection with the Kind Acquisition, which repayment occurred on January 24, 2023 (see Note 11). The remaining balance, if any, was expected to be used to fund acquisitions.

Principal, Security, Interest and Prepayments

The Credit Agreement provides for $35.0 million in principal borrowings at the Borrowers’ option in the aggregate and further provides the Borrowers with the right, subject to customary conditions, to request an additional incremental term loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million, provided that the Lenders elect to fund such incremental term loan. $30.0 million of loan principal was funded at the initial closing (the "Term Loan"), which amount was reduced by an original issuance discount of $0.9 million (the "Original Issuance Discount"). The Company had the option, during the six-month period following the initial closing, to draw down an additional $5.0 million, which it did not elect to do. The loans require scheduled amortization payments of 1.0% of the principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement per month commencing in May 2023, and the remaining principal balance is due in full on January 24, 2026, subject to extension to January 24, 2028 under certain circumstances.

The Credit Agreement provides the Borrowers with the right, subject to specified limitations, to incur (a) seller provided debt in connection with future acquisitions, (b) additional mortgage financing from third-party lenders secured by real estate currently owned and acquired after the closing date, and (c) additional debt in connection with equipment leasing transactions.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers, excluding specified parcels of real estate and other customary exclusions.

Table of Contents

The Credit Agreement provides for a floating annual interest rate equal to the prime rate then in effect plus 5.75%, which rate may be increased by 3.00% upon an event of default or 7.50% upon a material event of default as provided in the Credit Agreement.

At any time, the Company may voluntarily prepay amounts due under the facility in $5.0 million increments, subject to a three-percent prepayment premium and, during the first 20-months of the term, a “make-whole” payment.

Representations, Warranties, Events of Default and Certain Covenants

The Credit Agreement includes customary representations and warranties and customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to material indebtedness, and events of bankruptcy and insolvency.

The Credit Agreement also includes customary negative covenants limiting the Borrowers’ ability to incur additional indebtedness and grant liens that are otherwise not permitted, among others. Additionally, the Credit Agreement requires the Borrowers to meet certain financial tests. At June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the Credit Agreement covenants.

Warrant Issuance

The Credit Agreement provided for 30% warrant coverage against amounts funded under the facility, priced at a 20% premium to the trailing 20-day average price on the closing date of each such funding. At the initial closing, upon funding of the initial $30.0 million under the facility, the Company issued to the Lenders an aggregate of 19,148,936 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.47 per share, exercisable for a five-year period following issuance.

The Company recorded the warrants at present value of $5.5 million as a component of Additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 24, 2023, and discounted the Term Loan by $5.5 million (the "Term Loan Discount"). The Term Loan Discount is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement.

Interest Amortization

The Company recorded $0.5 million and $0.9 million of aggregate interest amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, related to the Original Issuance Discount and the Term Loan Discount.

(12) MEZZANINE EQUITY

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

In 2021, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with two unaffiliated institutional shareholders (the “Exchange Agreement”) whereby the Company (i) issued $4.4 million of promissory notes to the two institutional shareholders, which were retired in March 2021, and (ii) exchanged 4,908,333 shares of the Company’s common stock previously acquired by the two institutional shareholders for an equal number of shares of the Company's newly designated Series B convertible preferred stock (the “Series B Stock”).

In connection with the Exchange Agreement, the Company filed (i) a certificate of designation with respect to the rights and preferences of the Series B Stock, and (ii) a certificate of elimination to return all shares of the Series A convertible preferred stock, of which no shares were issued or outstanding at the time of filing, to the status of authorized and unissued shares of undesignated preferred stock.

The holders of Series B Stock (the “Series B Holders”) are entitled to cast a number of votes equal to the number of shares of the Company's common stock into which the shares of Series B Stock are convertible, together with the holders of the Company's common stock as a single class, on most matters. However, the affirmative vote or consent of the Series B Holders voting separately as a class is required for certain acts taken by the Company, including an amendment or repeal of certain charter provisions, liquidation or winding up of the Company, creation of stock senior to the Series B Stock, and/or other acts defined in the certificate of designation.

The Series B Stock shall, with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution, rank senior to the Company’s common stock. The Company shall not declare, pay, or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Company unless the Series B Holders shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Series B Stock in an amount calculated pursuant to the certificate of designation.

Table of Contents

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series B Holders shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of the Company's common stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share of Series B Stock equal to $3.00, plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, with any remaining assets distributed pro-rata among the Series B Holders and the holders of the Company's common stock, based on the number of shares held by each such holder, treating for this purpose all such securities as if they had been converted into shares of the Company's common stock.

At any time on or prior to the six-year anniversary of the issuance date of the Series B Stock, (i) the Series B Holders have the option to convert their shares of Series B Stock into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $3.00 per share, without the payment of additional consideration, and (ii) the Company has the option to convert all, but not less than all, shares of Series B Stock into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $3.00 if the daily volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock (the “VWAP”) exceeds $4.00 per share for at least twenty consecutive trading days prior to the date on which the Company gives notice of such conversion to the Series B Holders.

On the day following the six-year anniversary of the issuance of the Series B Stock, all outstanding shares of Series B Stock shall automatically convert into shares of the Company's common stock as follows:

•If the sixty-day VWAP is less than or equal to $0.50 per share, the Company shall have the option to (i) convert all shares of Series B Stock into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share, and pay cash to the Series B Holders equal to the difference between the sixty-day VWAP and $3.00 per share, or (ii) pay cash to the Series B Holders equal to $3.00 per share.

•If the sixty-day VWAP is greater than $0.50 per share, the Company shall have the option to (i) convert all shares of Series B Stock into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price per share equal to the quotient of $3.00 per share divided by the sixty-day VWAP, or (ii) pay cash to the Series B Holders equal to $3.00 per share, or (iii) convert all shares of Series B Stock into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price per share equal to the sixty-day VWAP and pay cash to the Series B Holders equal to the difference between $3.00 per share and the sixty-day VWAP.

The Company shall at all times when the Series B Stock is outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of common stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series B Stock.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

In March 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Hadron Healthcare Master Fund (“Hadron”) with respect to a financing facility of up to $46.0 million (the “Hadron Facility”) in exchange for newly-designated Series C convertible preferred stock of the Company (the “Series C Stock”) and warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock (the “Hadron Transaction”).

At the closing of the Hadron Transaction in March 2021, Hadron purchased $23.0 million of Units at a price of $3.70 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one share of Series C Stock and a four-year warrant to purchase two and one-half shares of the Company's common stock. The Company issued to Hadron 6,216,216 shares of Series C Stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 15,540,540 shares of its common stock. Each share of Series C Stock is convertible, at Hadron’s option, into five shares of the Company's common stock, and each warrant is exercisable at an exercise price of $1.087 per share. The warrants are subject to early termination if certain milestones are achieved and the market value of the Company’s common stock reaches certain predetermined levels. The fair value of the warrants on the issuance date was $9.5 million, which amount was recorded in Additional paid-in capital. The Company incurred $0.4 million of costs related to the issuance of these securities, which was recorded as a reduction to Additional paid-in capital in March 2021.

In connection with the closing of the Hadron Transaction, the Company filed a certificate of designation with respect to the rights and preferences of the Series C Stock. Such stock is zero coupon, non-voting, and has a liquidation preference equal to its original issuance price plus declared but unpaid dividends. Holders of Series C Stock are entitled to receive dividends on an as-converted basis.

Table of Contents

Of the $23.0 million of proceeds received by the Company from the Hadron Transaction, $7.3 million was used to fund construction and upgrades to certain of the Company’s owned and managed facilities, and $15.7 million was used to pay down debt and related interest (see Note 11).

No further funding has occurred under the Hadron Facility and, on August 4, 2022, the Company and Hadron entered into a second amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which, inter alia, (a) Hadron’s obligation to provide any further funding to the Company and the Company’s obligation to sell any further securities to Hadron was terminated, (b) Hadron’s right to appoint a designee to the Company’s board of directors was eliminated, and (c) certain covenants restricting the Company’s incurrence of new indebtedness were eliminated.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company converted, in two separate transactions at Hadron's request in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Series C Stock certificate of designation, a total of 4,276,608 shares of Series C Stock into 21,383,040 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Conversions"). The Conversions were effected at a conversion rate of five shares of the Company's common stock for each share of Series C common stock converted. The Company did not recognize a gain or loss on the Conversions as they were effected in accordance with the Series C Stock certificate of designation. At June 30, 2023, 1,939,608 shares of Series C Stock remained outstanding.

Rental income is generally a fixed amount per month that escalates over the respective lease terms. Prior to the third quarter of 2022, the Company charged additional rental fees based on a percentage of tenant revenues that exceeded specific amounts; these incremental rental fees were eliminated in connection with new contract terms with the Company's client.

•Supply procurement – resale of cultivation and production resources, supplies and equipment that the Company has acquired from top national vendors at discounted prices to its client and third parties within the cannabis industry. The Company recognizes this revenue after the delivery and acceptance of goods by a purchaser.

•Management fees – fees for providing the Company’s cannabis clients with comprehensive oversight of their cannabis cultivation, production and dispensary operations. Prior to the third quarter of 2022, these fees were based on a percentage of such client's revenue and were recognized after services were performed; these fees were eliminated in connection with new contract terms with the Company's client.

•Licensing fees – revenue from the licensing of the Company's branded products, including Betty's Eddies, Bubby's Baked, Vibations and Kalm Fusion, to wholesalers and to regulated dispensaries throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. The Company recognizes this revenue when the products are delivered.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contract with Customers, as amended by subsequently issued Accounting Standards Updates, requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The recognition of revenue is determined by performing the following consecutive steps:

•Identify the contract(s) with a customer;

•Identify the performance obligations in the contract(s);

•Determine the transaction price;

•Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and

•Recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Additionally, when another party is involved in providing goods or services to the Company’s clients, a determination is made as to who - the Company or the other party - is acting in the capacity as the principal in the sale transaction, and who is the agent arranging for goods or services to be provided by the other party.

The Company is typically considered the principal if it controls the specified good or service before such good or service is transferred to its client. The Company may also be deemed to be the principal even if it engages another party (an agent) to satisfy some of the performance obligations on its behalf, provided the Company (i) takes on certain responsibilities, obligations, and risks, (ii) possesses certain abilities and discretion, or (iii) other relevant indicators of the sale. If deemed an agent, the Company would not recognize revenue for the performance obligations it does not satisfy.

(15) MAJOR CUSTOMERS

The Company did not have any customers that contributed 10% or more of total revenue in any of the three- or six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

The Company did not have any customers that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at either June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts and historical losses have been within management’s expectations.

(16) LEASES

Arrangements that are determined to be leases with a term greater than one year are accounted for by the recognition of right-of-use assets that represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities that represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Non-lease components within lease agreements are accounted for separately.

Right-of-use assets and obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, utilizing the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company is currently the lessee under eight operating leases and fifteen finance leases. These leases contain rent holidays and customary escalations of lease payments for the type of facilities being leased. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term, including cancelable option periods which the Company fully expects to exercise. Certain leases require the payment of property taxes, insurance and/or maintenance costs in addition to the rent payments.

The Company leases the following facilities under operating leases:

•Delaware - 4,000 square feet of retail space in a multi-use building under a five-year lease that expires in April 2027 that the Company has developed into a cannabis dispensary, which is subleased to its cannabis-licensed client.

•Delaware - a 100,000 square foot warehouse, of which the Company developed 60,000 square feet into a cultivation facility that is being subleased to its cannabis-licensed client. The lease expires in March 2030, with an option to extend the term for three additional years.

Table of Contents

•Delaware - a 12,000 square foot premises, which the Company developed into a cannabis production facility with offices and which it subleases to its cannabis-licensed client. The lease expires in January 2026 and contains an option to negotiate an extension at the end of the lease.

•Massachusetts - 10,000 square feet of office space, which the Company utilizes as its corporate offices under a lease with a related party expiring in 2028, with an option to extend the term for an additional five-year period.

•Massachusetts - a 2,700 square foot dispensary, which lease the Company assumed that expires in 2026, with options to extend the term for three additional five-year periods through 2041.

•Massachusetts - an approximately 33,800 square foot building which houses both a dispensary and a cultivation facility, whose lease expires in October 2038.

•Maryland - a 2,700 square foot two-unit apartment under a lease that expires in July 2023.

•Ohio - approximately 4,700 square feet of retail space in a multi-use building under a ten-year lease that expires in February 2033, with options to extend the term for two additional five-year periods through February 2043.

The Company leases machinery and office equipment under finance leases that expire from July 2023 through March 2028, with such terms being a major part of the economic useful life of the leased property.

The components of lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (in thousands):

In November 2021, the Company entered into lease agreements for six retail properties, each with square footage between 4,000 and 6,000 square feet, in the state of Ohio (each an “Ohio Lease” and collectively the “Ohio Leases”). Each Ohio Lease had an initial lease period of eleven months, with a minimum rent of $31.00 per square foot, which increased 3.0% annually. Should the Company be awarded one or more cannabis licenses by the state of Ohio prior to the end of the initial lease period, it could extend the term of one or more of the Ohio Leases to ten years (with two additional five-year options

Table of Contents

to extend) upon the payment of $50,000 for the extended Ohio Lease, which the Company is building out into a medical use dispensary. In February 2022, the Company was notified that it was awarded a cannabis dispensary license from the state of Ohio. In April 2022, the Company extended the term of one of the Ohio Leases to February 2023 (the "Extended Ohio Lease"), and the remaining five Ohio Leases were terminated. In February 2023, the Company entered into a ten-year lease on the Extended Ohio Lease property, and the Company opened its dispensary in Tiffin, Ohio in June 2023. At December 31, 2022, the lease term of the Extended Ohio Lease was less than one year, and the Company was not required to record a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability on its balance sheet.

(17) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company’s corporate offices are leased from an entity in which the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President (the "CEO") has an investment interest. This lease expires in October 2028 and contains a five-year extension option. Expenses incurred under this lease were approximately $64,000 and $39,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and approximately $129,000 and $78,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company procures nutrients, lab equipment, cultivation supplies, furniture, and tools from an entity owned by the family of the Company’s Chief Operating Officer (the “COO”). Purchases from this entity totaled $1.4 million in each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and $2.7 million and $2.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company pays royalties on the revenue generated from its Betty’s Eddies product line to an entity owned by the COO and its Chief Revenue Officer (the “CRO") under a royalty agreement. This agreement was amended effective January 1, 2021 whereby, among other modifications, the royalty percentage changed from 2.5% on all sales of Betty’s Eddies products to 3.0% if sold directly by the Company and between 1.35% and 2.5% if licensed by the Company for sale by third parties. Future developed products (i.e., ice cream) have a royalty rate of 0.5% if sold directly by the Company and between 0.125% and 0.135% if licensed by the Company for sale by third parties. The aggregate royalties due to this entity were approximately $346,000 and $53,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and approximately $465,000 and $109,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, one of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries paid distributions in the aggregate of approximately $2,100 and $3,400, respectively, to the CEO, who owns a minority equity interest in such subsidiary. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, this majority-owned subsidiary paid distributions aggregating approximately $12,600 and $23,100 to the Company’s then-CEO and then-Chief Financial Officer (now the CEO), each of whom owned minority equity interests in such subsidiary.

The Company’s mortgages with Bank of New England, DuQuoin State Bank are personally guaranteed by the CEO. The CEO had also guaranteed the South Porte Bank Mortgage prior to its repayment in May 2023.

(18) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Maryland Litigation

Following the consummation of the Kind Acquisition, in April 2022, litigation between the Company and the members of Kind was dismissed in its entirety with prejudice, and the parties have released one another of any and all claims between them.

DiPietro Lawsuit

In December 2021, the parties to this action entered into a global confidential settlement and release agreement, along with the parties to the aforementioned Maryland litigation. At the same date, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary MariMed Advisors Inc. (“MMA”) and Jennifer DiPietro (“Ms. DiPietro”), one of the former members of Kind, entered into a membership interest purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company would purchase Ms. DiPietro’s interests in Mia Development LLC, the Company's majority-owned subsidiary that owns production and retail cannabis facilities in Wilmington, Delaware, and Mari Holdings MD LLC ("Mari-MD"), the Company's majority-owned subsidiary that owns production and retail cannabis facilities in Hagerstown, Maryland and Annapolis Maryland. Upon the court’s approval of

Table of Contents

the parties’ joint motion for approval, on June 8, 2022, the purchase of Ms. DiPietro’s interests was consummated. The parties released all direct and derivative claims against one another, and a stipulation dismissing all claims and counterclaims with prejudice was filed with the court.

Bankruptcy Claim

During 2019, the Company’s subsidiary, MariMed Hemp, Inc. ("MHI") sold and delivered hemp seed inventory to GenCanna Global Inc., a Kentucky-based cultivator, producer, and distributor of hemp (“GenCanna”). At the time of sale, the Company owned a 33.5% ownership interest in GenCanna. The Company recorded a related party receivable of approximately $29 million from the sale, which was fully reserved at December 31, 2019.

On January 24, 2020, an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding under Chapter 11 was filed against GenCanna and its wholly-owned subsidiary, OGGUSA Inc. (f/k/a GenCanna Global US, Inc.) ("OGGUSA" and together with GenCanna, the "OGGUSA Debtors") in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Eastern District of Kentucky (the "Bankruptcy Court"). In February 2020, the OGGUSA Debtors, agreed to convert the involuntary bankruptcy proceeding into a voluntary Chapter 11 proceeding. The OGGUSA Debtors' subsidiary, Hemp Kentucky LLC, also filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 in the Bankruptcy Court.

In May 2020, after an abbreviated solicitation/bid/sale process, the Bankruptcy Court, over numerous objections by creditors and shareholders of the OGGUSA Debtors, which included the Company, entered an order authorizing the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the OGGUSA Debtors to MGG Investment Group LP ("MGG"), a creditor of the OGGUSA Debtors. After the consummation of the sale of all or substantially all of their assets and business, the OGGUSA Debtors filed their liquidating plan of reorganization (the “Liquidating Plan”) to collect various prepetition payments and commercial claims against third parties, liquidate the remaining assets of the OGGUSA Debtors, and make payments to creditors. The Liquidating Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on November 12, 2020.

Since the approval of the Liquidating Plan, the OGGUSA Debtors have been in the process of liquidating the remaining assets, negotiating and prosecuting objections to other creditors’ claims, and pursuing the collection of accounts receivable and Chapter 5 bankruptcy avoidance claims.

In April 2022, the Plan Administrator filed a Complaint against MHI (the "Complaint") alleging certain preferential transfers of assets, which were valued by the Plan Administrator at $250,000, relating to payments on a $600,000 loan made to MHI by the Company prior to the filing of the OGGUSA Debtors Chapter 11 proceeding (the "Preferential Claim"). The Complaint sought to recover an amount no less than $200,000 and to disallow MHI’s unsecured general claim in the bankruptcy proceeding until such time as such preferential transfer had been repaid to the OGGUSA Debtors.

In July 2023, MHI entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement with the Plan Administrator pursuant to which it agreed to reduce its Bankruptcy Court approved unsecured general claim to $15.5 million, or by 50%, in consideration for the settlement of the Preferential Claim and a general release of MHI and the Company.

As of the date of this filing, there is insufficient information to determine how much MHI may receive upon the completion of the liquidation of the remaining assets of the OGGUSA Debtors on account of its general unsecured claim, if anything.

(19) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In July 2023, the Company entered into an Omnibus Agreement with FSCC (see Note 5).

Overview

We are a multi-state operator in the United States cannabis industry. We develop, operate, manage, and optimize state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant facilities for the cultivation, production and dispensing of medicinal and adult use cannabis. We also license our proprietary brands of cannabis and hemp-infused products, along with other top brands, in several domestic markets.

On April 27, 2022 (the “Kind Acquisition Date”), we acquired Kind Therapeutics USA (“Kind”), our former client in Maryland that holds licenses for the cultivation, production, and dispensing of medical cannabis (the “Kind Acquisition”). The financial results of Kind are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods subsequent to the Kind Acquisition Date.

On March 9, 2023 (the "Ermont Acquisition Date"), we acquired the operating assets of Ermont, Inc. ("Ermont"), a medical-licensed vertical cannabis operator located in Quincy, Massachusetts (the "Ermont Acquisition"). The financial results of Ermont are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the period subsequent to the Ermont Acquisition Date.

We completed two acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2022 that we recorded as asset purchases. On May 5, 2022 (the "Green Growth Acquisition Date"), we completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity ownership of Green Growth Group Inc. ("Green Growth"), an entity that holds a craft cultivation and production cannabis license in the state of Illinois (the "Green Growth Acquisition"). On December 30, 2022 (the "Greenhouse Naturals Acquisition Date"), we completed an asset purchase under which we acquired a cannabis license and assumed a property lease for a dispensary in Beverly, Massachusetts that had never been operational.

Table of Contents

During 2023, we are focused on continuing to execute our strategic growth plan, with priority on activities described below:

•Continuing to consolidate the cannabis businesses that we have developed and managed.

•Expanding revenues, assets, and our footprint in the states in which we operate.

•Expanding into other legal states through mergers and acquisitions and by filing new applications in states where new licensing opportunities become available.

•Increasing revenues by producing and distributing our award-winning brands to qualified strategic partners or by acquiring production and distribution licenses.

•In Massachusetts, we recently opened two additional dispensaries, and intend to significantly expand the capacity and capability of our manufacturing facility in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

•In Maryland, we opened a dispensary in Annapolis in October 2022, and we intend to expand our manufacturing facility by 40,000 square feet. We recently received Good Manufacturing Practices ("GMP") certification of our production kitchen, as well as approval to produce and sell high-dose edibles, which we have commenced. We also commenced adult-use wholesale and retail sales in Maryland. Under current Maryland cannabis laws, we have the potential to add three additional medical dispensaries, for a total of four.

•In Illinois, in May 2022, we closed on the acquisition of a craft cannabis license, which will enable us to be vertically integrated and add cultivation, manufacturing, and distribution to our four existing retail cannabis operations in Illinois. Under Illinois cannabis laws, we have the potential to add five additional dispensaries, for a total of ten.

•In Ohio, in June 2023, we opened our first medical dispensary in the state, and we intend to explore additional opportunities to grow our operations in Ohio to the maximum allowable by state regulations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and beliefs of what could occur in the future given available information. If actual results differ significantly from management’s estimates and projections, there could be a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. We consider the following accounting policies to be both those most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and those that require the most subjective judgment: accounts receivable; valuation of inventory; estimated useful lives and depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets; accounting for acquisitions and business combinations; loss contingencies and reserves; stock-based compensation; and accounting for income taxes.

Accounts Receivable

We provide credit to our clients in the form of payment terms. We limit our credit risk by performing credit evaluations of our clients and maintaining a reserve, as applicable, for potential credit losses. Such evaluations are judgmental in nature and include a review of each client’s outstanding balances with consideration toward such client’s historical collection experience, as well as prevailing economic and market conditions and other factors. Accordingly, the actual amounts collected could differ from expected amounts and require that we record additional reserves.

Inventory

Our inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, including consideration of factors such as shrinkage, the aging of and future demand for inventory, expected future selling price, what we expect to realize by selling the inventory and the

Table of Contents

contractual arrangements with customers. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventory are based upon quantities on hand, projected volumes from demand forecasts, and net realizable value. These estimates are judgmental in nature and are made at a point in time, using available information, expected business plans and expected market conditions. As a result, the actual amount received on sale could differ from the estimated value of inventory. Periodic reviews are performed on the inventory balance. The impact of any changes in inventory reserves is reflected in cost of goods sold.

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

Depreciation and amortization of property, equipment, and intangible assets are 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.

Business Combinations and Asset Purchases

Classification of an acquisition as a business combination or an asset acquisition depends on whether the assets acquired constitute a business, which can be a complex judgment. Whether an acquisition is classified as a business combination or asset acquisition can have a significant impact on how we record the transaction.

We allocate the purchase price of acquired assets and companies to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net amount of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and represents the expected future economic benefits from other assets acquired in the acquisition or business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Significant judgments and assumptions are required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, particularly acquired intangible assets, which are principally based upon estimates of the future performance and cash flows expected from the acquired asset or business and applied discount rates. While we use our best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. If different assumptions are used, it could materially impact the purchase price allocation and our financial position and results of operations. Any adjustments to assets acquired or liabilities assumed subsequent to the purchase price allocation period are included in operating results in the period in which the adjustments are determined. Intangible assets typically are comprised of trademarks and trade names, licenses and customer relationships, and non-compete agreements.

Loss Contingencies and Reserves

We are subject to ongoing business risks arising in the ordinary course of business that affect the estimation process of the carrying value of assets, the recording of liabilities, and the possibility of various loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred or an asset has been impaired and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate current information available to determine whether such amounts should be adjusted and record changes in estimates in the period they become known. We are subject to legal claims from time to time. We reserve for legal contingencies and legal fees when the amounts are probable and estimable.

Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. We use the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of stock options as of the date of grant. Determining the fair value of stock option awards at the grant date requires judgment regarding certain valuation assumptions, including the volatility of our stock price, expected term of the stock option, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Changes in such assumptions and estimates could result in different fair values and could therefore impact our earnings. Such changes, however, would not impact our cash flows.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences of differences between the tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities, measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to

Table of Contents

reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent our management concludes that it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. To assess the recoverability of any tax assets recorded on the balance sheet, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including our past operating results, the existence of cumulative income in the most recent years, changes in the business in which we operate and our forecast of future taxable income. In determining future taxable income, we make assumptions, including the amount of state and federal pre-tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage our businesses.

Results of Operations

Three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

Revenue

Our main sources of revenue are comprised of the following:

•Product sales (retail and wholesale) - direct sales of cannabis and cannabis-infused products primarily by our retail dispensaries and wholesale operations in Massachusetts, Illinois, and, as of the Kind Acquisition Date, Maryland. We recognize this revenue when products are delivered or at retail points-of-sale.

•Real estate rentals - rental income generated from leasing of our state-of-the-art, regulatory compliant cannabis facilities to our cannabis-licensed clients. Rental income is generally a fixed amount per month that escalates over the respective lease terms. Prior to the third quarter of 2022, we charged additional rental fees based on a percentage of tenant revenues that exceeded specified amounts; these incremental rental fees were eliminated in connection with new contract terms with our client.

•Supply procurement - resale of cultivation and production resources, supplies and equipment that we have acquired from top national vendors at discounted prices to our clients and third parties within the cannabis industry. We recognize this revenue after the delivery and acceptance of goods by the purchaser.

•Management fees - fees for providing our cannabis clients with comprehensive oversight of their cannabis cultivation, production and dispensary operations. Prior to the third quarter of 2022, these fees were based on a percentage of such client's revenue and were recognized after services have been performed; these fees were eliminated in connection with new contract terms with our client.

•Licensing fees - revenue from the licensing of our branded products, including Betty's Eddies, Bubby's Baked, Vibations, and Kalm Fusion, to wholesalers and to regulated dispensaries throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. We recognize this revenue when the products are delivered.

Our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was comprised of the following (in thousands):

Our total revenue increased $3.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, and $6.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Our total product revenue increased $4.3 million, or 13.9%, in the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $10.4 million, or 17.7%, in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same prior year periods. These increases in both the quarter and year-to-date 2023 periods were primarily attributable to both wholesale and retail revenue arising from the Kind Acquisition, and higher retail revenue in our Massachusetts dispensaries, primarily attributable to our recent acquisitions there. These increases were partially offset by decreases in our other revenue, primarily attributable to rent, supply procurement and fee reductions in connection with one of our clients and the Kind Acquisition.

Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Our cost of revenue represents the direct costs associated with the generation of our revenue, including licensing, packaging, supply procurement, manufacturing, supplies, depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and other product-related costs.

Our cost of revenue, gross profit and gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):


							Increase (decrease) from prior year
	2023			2022			$		%
Three months ended June 30,
Cost of revenue	$	20,143		$	17,981		$	2,162	12.0	%
Gross profit	$	16,376		$	15,005		$	1,371	9.1	%
Gross margin	44.8		%	45.5		%

Six months ended June 30,

Gross profit	$	31,764		$	31,981		$	(217)	(0.7)	%
Gross margin	44.8		%	49.8		%

Our cost of revenue increased in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same prior year periods. These increases were primarily attributable to increases in manufacturing, employee-related and facility expenses aggregating $3.7 million and $9.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. These higher costs were primarily due to our increased headcount and new facilities in connection with our recent acquisitions and in-process expansions. The increases in both current year periods were partially offset primarily by lower supply procurement and certain inventory-related expenses.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses are comprised of personnel, marketing and promotion, general and administrative, acquisition-related and other, and bad debt expenses. Our operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):


					Increase (decrease) from prior year
	2023		2022		$		%

	$	23,082	$	20,437	$	2,645	12.9	%

The increase in our personnel expenses in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same prior year periods was primarily due to the hiring of additional staff to support higher levels of projected revenue from existing operations, the Kind Acquisition and, to a lesser extent, our other recent acquisitions. Personnel costs increased to approximately 15% of revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately 10% of revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

The increase in our marketing and promotion expenses in both the three month and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same prior year periods was primarily attributable to our focused efforts to upgrade our marketing initiatives in order to expand branding and distribution of our licensed products.

The decrease in our general and administrative expenses in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to lower expenses in connection with our equity programs and professional fees, partially offset by higher facility, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, and travel expenses.

Acquisition-related and other expenses include those expenses related to acquisitions and other significant transactions that we would otherwise not have incurred, and include professional and services fees, such as legal, audit, consulting, paying agent and other fees. Our acquisition-related and other expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily related to our acquisitions and professional fees related to obtaining the Credit Agreement (as described below). Our acquisition-related and other expenses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily related to the Kind Acquisition and the listing of our common stock on the Canadian Securities Exchange.

Interest and Other (Expense) Income, Net

Interest expense primarily relates to interest on mortgages and notes payable and, effective in 2023, the Credit Agreement (as described below). Interest income primarily relates to interest receivable in connection with our notes receivable. Other (expense) income, net, includes gains (losses) on changes in the fair value of our investments and other investment-related income (expense).

Our net interest expense increased $2.4 million and $4.7 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods, primarily due to interest related to the Credit Agreement (as

described below), coupled with expense for a fair value adjustment to notes payable in connection with our early repayment of the notes payable for the Kind Acquisition.

We reported nominal net other expense in the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $0.9 million of net other expense in the six months ended June 30, 2023. The expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the write-off of assets in the first quarter of 2023 in connection with our decision to cancel our plans to expand into Nevada. We reported net other expense of $0.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily comprised of losses from the change in the fair value of our investments. We recorded $0.3 million of net other income in the six months ended June 30, 2022, comprised of $1.0 million of non-cash income from an investment, partially offset by a $0.7 million loss from the change in fair value of our investments.

Income Tax Provision

We recorded income tax provisions of $4.4 million and $5.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had cash and cash equivalents of $14.6 million and $9.7 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In addition to the discussions below of our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities, please also see our discussion of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA in the section “Non-GAAP Measurement” below, which discusses an additional financial measure not defined by GAAP which our management also uses to measure our liquidity.

Credit Agreement

On January 24, 2023,we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, by and among the Company, subsidiaries of the Company from time-to-time party thereto (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”), lenders from time-to-time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Chicago Atlantic Admin, LLC (“Chicago Atlantic”), as administrative agent for the Lenders (the "Credit Agreement").

Proceeds from the Credit Agreement were designated to complete the build-out of a new cultivation and processing facility in Illinois, complete the build-out of a new processing kitchen in Missouri, expand existing cultivation and processing facilities in Massachusetts and Maryland, fund certain capital expenditures, and repay in full the Kind Therapeutics seller notes incurred in connection with the Kind Acquisition, which repayment occurred on January 24, 2023. The remaining balance, if any, was expected to be used to fund acquisitions.

Principal, Security, Interest and Prepayments

The Credit Agreement provides for $35.0 million in principal borrowings at our option in the aggregate and further provides the Borrowers with the right, subject to customary conditions, to request an additional incremental term loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million; provided that the Lenders elect to fund such incremental term loan. $30.0 million of loan principal was funded at the initial closing and we have the option, during the six-month period following the initial closing, to draw down an additional $5.0 million, which we did not elect to do. The loans require scheduled amortization payments of 1.0% of the principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement per month commencing in May 2023, and the remaining principal balance is due in full on January 24, 2026, subject to extension to January 24, 2028 under certain circumstances.

The Credit Agreement provides the Borrowers with the right, subject to specified limitations, to incur(a) seller provided debt in connection with future acquisitions, (b) additional mortgage financing from third-party lenders secured by real estate currently owned and acquired after the closing date, and (c) additional debt in connection with equipment leasing transactions.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers, excluding specified parcels of real estate and other customary exclusions.

Table of Contents

At any time, we may voluntarily prepay amounts due under the facility in $5.0 million increments, subject to a three-percent prepayment premium and, during the first 20-months of the term, a “make-whole” payment.

Representations, Warranties, Events of Default and Certain Covenants

The Credit Agreement also includes customary negative covenants limiting our ability to incur additional indebtedness and grant liens that are otherwise not permitted, among others. Additionally, the Credit Agreement requires us to meet certain financial tests. At June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Agreement.

Warrant Issuance

The Credit Agreement provided for 30% warrant coverage against amounts funded under the facility, priced at a 20% premium to the trailing 20-day average price on the closing date of each such funding. At the initial closing, upon funding of the initial $30.0 million under the facility, we issued to the Lenders an aggregate of 19,148,936 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at $0.47 per share, exercisable for a five-year period following issuance.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our primary sources of cash from operating activities are from sales to customers in our dispensaries and to our wholesale customers. We expect cash flows from operating activities to be affected by increases and decreases in sales volumes and timing of collections, and by purchases of inventory and shipment of our products. Our primary uses of cash for operating activities are for personnel costs, purchases of packaging and other materials required for the production and sale of our products, and income taxes.

Our operating activities used $3.2 million and provided $2.2 million of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The change in cash from operating activities in the current year period compared to the prior year was primarily attributable to higher costs and operating expenses driven by our continued focus on increasing and expanding our sales activities, facilities and footprint both in the states where we currently operate and into other states. These higher costs primarily relate to personnel, cultivation/manufacturing and facility expenses.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Our investing activities used $13.4 million and $21.1 million of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we used cash of $8.8 million for capital expenditures, $3.0 million as part of the purchase consideration for the Ermont Acquisition, $0.6 million for cannabis licenses and $0.3 million for advances toward future business acquisitions. We also issued $0.9 million of notes receivable to a cannabis-licensed client. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we used $12.7 million of cash in the aggregate for purchase consideration in connection with the Kind Acquisition and the Green Growth Acquisition, $7.9 million for capital expenditures, $0.3 million for cannabis licenses and $0.3 million for advances toward future business acquisitions. These payments were partially offset by $0.1 million of proceeds from notes receivable.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Our financing activities provided $21.5 million of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and used $2.9 million of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2022. We received proceeds of $29.1 million from the Credit Agreement, of which we used $5.5 million to repay in full the notes previously issued to the sellers of Kind as part of the purchase consideration for the April 2022 Kind Acquisition. Excluding the aforementioned repayment of the notes in connection with the Kind Acquisition, we made $1.2 million of aggregate principal payments on our outstanding mortgages and promissory notes, including the repayment in full in May 2023 of our mortgage with South Porte Bank. We also made $0.6 million of payments toward the outstanding balance of the Credit Agreement, $0.2 million of principal payments of finance leases,

Table of Contents

and $0.1 million of distribution payments. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we paid $2.0 million to redeem the outstanding minority interests in one of our majority-owned subsidiaries in June 2022, made $0.6 million of aggregate principal payments on our outstanding mortgages and notes payable, made $0.2 million of distribution payments and made $0.1 million of finance lease principal payments.

Based on our current expectations, we believe our current cash and future funding opportunities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. The rate at which we consume cash is dependent on the cash needs of our future operations, including our contractual obligations at June 30, 2023, and our ability to raise additional cash through financing activities. We anticipate devoting substantial capital resources to continue our efforts to execute our strategic growth plan as described above.

Non-GAAP Measurement

In addition to the financial information reflected in this report, which is prepared in accordance with GAAP, we are providing a non-GAAP financial measurement of profitability – Adjusted EBITDA – as a supplement to the preceding discussion of our financial results.

Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as income from operations, determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the following:

•depreciation and amortization of property and equipment;

•amortization of acquired intangible assets;

•impairments or write-downs of acquired intangible assets;

•stock-based compensation;

•legal settlements; and

•acquisition-related and other.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure to assess our performance and liquidity, as it provides meaningful operating results by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of our operating business performance. In addition, our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, and for financial and operational decision-making. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes that investors and analysts benefit from considering Adjusted EBITDA in assessing our financial results and our ongoing business, as it allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business. Adjusted EBITDA is used by many investors and analysts themselves, along with other metrics, to compare financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.

As there are no standardized methods of calculating non-GAAP measurements, our calculations may differ from those used by analysts, investors, and other companies, even those within the cannabis industry, and therefore may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by others.
