(7) INVESTMENTS
The Company’s investments at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were all classified as current and were comprised of the following (in thousands):
The Company did not have any noncurrent investments at September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
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”). In accordance with the purchase agreement for this transaction, each shareholder of Terrace received 0.4973 shares in Flowr for each Terrace share held (the “Flowr Investment”).
The Flowr Investment is recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded as a component of Other (expense) income, net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded losses of $0.1 million and $0.2 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and losses of $0.5 million and $0.9 million in of the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, respectively. These amounts represent the changes in the fair value of the Flowr Investment in the respective periods.
WM Technology Inc. (formerly MembersRSVP LLC)
In January 2021, the Company and MembersRSVP LLC, an entity that develops cannabis-specific software (“MRSVP”) in which the Company owned a 23.0% membership interest, entered into an agreement under which the Company returned membership interests comprising 11.0% ownership in MRSVP in exchange for a release of the Company from any further obligation to make any incremental investments or payments to MRSVP, 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. As a result, the Company no longer had the ability to exercise significant influence over MRSVP, and accordingly, as of January 1, 2021, the Company discontinued accounting for this investment under the equity method.
In September 2021, MRSVP sold substantially all of its assets pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. In connection with this transaction, the Company received cash proceeds of $1.5 million, which represented the Company’s pro rata share of the cash consideration received by MRSVP at the closing of the transaction. The cash proceeds reduced the Company’s MRSVP investment balance to zero and resulted in a gain of $0.3 million, which gain was reported as a component of Other (expense) income, net.
As an ongoing member of MRSVP, the Company was entitled to its pro rata share of any additional consideration received by MRSVP pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, which could include securities or other forms of non-cash or in-kind consideration and holdback amounts, if and when received and distributed by MRSVP. In February 2022, the Company received 121,968 shares of common stock of WM Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MAPS), a technology and software infrastructure provider to the cannabis industry, which represented the Company’s pro rata share of the additional consideration received by MRSVP pursuant to the asset purchase agreement. The Company recognized losses of $0.2 million and $0.8 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, which are included as components of Other (expense) income, net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for those periods. This amount represents the change in the fair value of the MAPS shares in the respective periods.
