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 approximate $10,000. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the current portions of the FSCC Initial Note were approximately $87,000 and $85,000, respectively, and were included in Notes receivable, current, 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, whereby FSCC issued promissory notes aggregating $7.8 million to the Company (the “FSCC Secondary Notes”). The FSCC Secondary Notes bear interest of 6.0% per annum and mature in December 2025. FSCC is required to make periodic payments of principal and interest throughout the term of the FSCC Secondary Notes. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the FSCC Secondary Notes balance included approximately $28,000 and $49,000, respectively, of unpaid accrued interest. The increase in the FSCC Secondary Notes in the three months ended March 31, 2023 was attributable to the accreted interest, which increases the value of such notes. At each of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the current portions of the FSCC Secondary Notes aggregated $2.5 million.

In December 2022, the Company converted a short-term loan and other receivable balances 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 bears interest of 6.0% per annum and matures in December 2026. FSCC is required to make quarterly interest payments, with the full amount of principal due on December 31, 2026. At each of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the entire balance of the FSCC New Note was long-term.

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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately $52,000 was current.
