Flowr Corp. (formerly Terrace Inc.)

 

In December 2020, Terrace Inc., a Canadian cannabis entity in which the Company had an ownership interest of 8.95% (“Terrace”), was acquired by Flowr Corp. (TSX.V: FLWR; OTC: FLWPF), a Toronto-headquartered cannabis company with operations in Canada, Europe, and Australia (“Flowr”). Under the terms of the transaction, each shareholder of Terrace received 0.4973 of a share in Flowr for each Terrace share held.

 

This investment is carried at fair value. The decrease in fair value of this investment during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 of approximately $1,107,000 and $92,000, respectively, was reflected in the Change In Fair Value Of Investments on the statement of operations.

 

MembersRSVP LLC

 

During 2020, the Company owned a 23.0% member interest in MembersRSVP LLC (“MRSVP”), an entity that developed cannabis-specific customer relationship management software, which was accounted for under the equity method. Based on the Company’s equity in MRSVP’s net income during this period, the Company recorded earnings in 2020 of approximately $99,000, which comprised the balance of Equity in Earnings of Investments on the statement of operations.

 

In January 2021, the Company and MRSVP entered into an agreement whereby the Company assigned and transferred 11.0% of its member interests to MRSVP in exchange for a release from all further obligation by the Company to make future investments or payments and certain other non-monetary consideration. In addition to the reduction of the Company’s ownership interest to 12.0%, the Company relinquished its right to appoint a member to the board of MRSVP. In light of the Company no longer having the ability to exercise significant influence over MRSVP, the Company discontinued accounting for this investment under the equity method as of January 1, 2021.

 

In September 2021, MRSVP sold substantially all of its assets pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. In furtherance of the transaction, the Company received cash proceeds of $1,475,000, representing the Company’s pro rata share of the cash consideration received by MRSVP upon the closing of the transaction. As an ongoing member of MRSVP, the Company will receive its pro rata share of any additional consideration received by MRSVP pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, which may include securities or other forms of non-cash or in-kind consideration and holdback amounts, if and when it is received and distributed by MRSVP.

 

Upon receipt of the cash consideration, the Company reduced the investment balance to zero and recorded a gain of approximately $309,000 which comprised Other non-operating expenses on the statement of operations.

 

In February 2022, the Company received its pro rata share of additional consideration received by MRSVP pursuant to the asset purchase agreement which is further discussed in Note 22 – Subsequent Events.
