The Company maintains an allowance against trade accounts receivable (the "AR Allowance"), and had previously also reserved against cash advanced by the Company to a cannabis-licensed client or working capital purposes (the "WC Reserve"), both of which were reported as components of the allowance for doubtful accounts in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts activity was as follows (in thousands):

2022 $ 41,401  $ 3,752  $ (11,300) $ (29,250) $ 4,603 

The amount reported under "Charges (credits) to other accounts" for the year ended December 31, 2022 represents the elimination of the reserve for trade receivables from a former client of the Company's in connection with the purchase accounting when the Company acquired this client. Of the amount reported under "Write-offs" for the year ended December 31, 2022, $29.0 million represents the write-off of a fully reserved trade receivable from a related party in connection with that party's bankruptcy declaration.

First State Compassion Center

Omnibus Agreement

On July 1, 2023 (the "Omnibus Agreement Date"), the Company entered into an Omnibus Agreement with First State Compassion Center ("FSCC"), the Company's cannabis-licensed client in Delaware: (a) consolidating all amounts owed by FSCC to the Company and its affiliated entities as described below, aggregating $11.0 million (the "Omnibus Agreement"); (b) providing for the automatic conversion of all amounts owed by FSCC to the Company, 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 Omnibus Agreement 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, and 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. The state of Delaware recently approved the adult use of cannabis, with the implementation period expected to extend through approximately November 2024. The Omnibus Agreement is reported as a component of Other assets in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023.

Notes Receivable From FSCC Prior to the Omnibus Agreement Date

The notes receivable from FSCC described below in the aggregate were converted into the Omnibus on the Omnibus Agreement Date:

FSCC issued a 10-year promissory note to the Company in May 2016 for $0.7 million, which bore interest at a rate of 12.5% per annum and matured in April 2026, as amended (the “FSCC Initial Note”). The monthly payments on the FSCC Initial Note were approximately $10,000. At December 31, 2022, the current portion of the FSCC Initial Note was approximately $85,000, and is included in Notes receivable, current portion, in the consolidated balance sheet.

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 Company had granted FSCC an interest holiday in 2023 from January 1, 2023 through the Omnibus Agreement Date and accordingly, no interest was accrued in 2023. At December 31, 2022, the current portion 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 had granted FSCC an interest holiday for the six months ended June 30, 2023. At 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.

Healer LLC

In March 2021, the Company was issued a promissory note in the principal amount of approximately $894,000 (the "Revised Healer Note") 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 totaling $0.8 million, plus approximately $94,000 of accrued interest through the Revised Healer Note issuance date. The Revised Healer Note bears interest of 6.0% per annum and requires quarterly payments of interest through its 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 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 balance to approximately $866,000.

At each of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the total amounts of principal and accrued interest due under the Revised Healer Note were approximately $866,000, of which approximately $52,000 was current.
