Ermont
On March 9, 2023, following approval by the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (the "CCC"), the Company acquired the operating assets of Ermont, a medical-licensed vertical cannabis operator located in Quincy, Massachusetts. The Ermont Acquisition provided the Company with its third dispensary in Massachusetts, substantially completing its build-out to the maximum allowable by state regulations.
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 subject to prepayment in the event the Company raises $75.0 million of equity capital. The Company recorded the Ermont Note at the present value as of the Ermont Acquisition Date of $4.6 million. The difference between the present value and face value of the Ermont Note is being amortized to interest expense through the term of such note.
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. Adult-use sales commenced on July 23, 2024. The Company expanded the existing medical dispensary to accommodate expected increased traffic associated with adult-use sales and repurposed Ermont's existing cultivation facility.
The Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 included $1.2 million of revenue and $0.7 million of net loss attributable to Ermont. The Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included $2.6 million of revenue and $1.9 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. The Company recorded adjustments to the amounts allocated to certain identifiable intangible assets and goodwill to reflect more precise forecasts of future revenue streams. These adjustments resulted in an increase to the tradename and trademarks intangible asset of $0.1 million, a decrease to the customer base intangible asset of $3.9 million and an increase to goodwill of $3.8 million.
A summary of the final allocation of the Ermont Consideration to the acquired and identifiable intangible assets is as follows (in thousands):
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 12.19 years (see Note 8). Goodwill results from assets not separately identifiable as part of the transaction and is not deductible for tax purposes.
The following unaudited pro forma information presents the condensed combined results of MariMed and Ermont for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as if the Ermont Acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2023, with adjustments to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the Ermont Acquisition. These pro
forma adjustments include amortization expense for the acquired intangible assets and interest expense related to the Ermont Note.
The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect any operating efficiencies or potential cost savings that may result from the consolidation of the operations of MariMed and Ermont. Accordingly, these unaudited pro forma results are presented for illustrative purposes and are not intended to represent or be indicative of the actual results of operations of the combined company that would have been achieved had the Ermont Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2023, nor are they intended to represent or be indicative of future results of operations. These unaudited pro forma results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are as follows (in thousands):
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 tradenames and trademarks, licenses and customer bases, and non-compete intangible assets. The valuation for each of these intangible assets is 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
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 $3.25 million, comprised of $2.25 million of cash and a promissory note for $1.0 million, which note was issued to the Allgreens members on the Allgreens Acquisition Date. Completion of the acquisition was dependent upon certain conditions, including resolution of any remaining legal challenges affecting nearly 200 social equity dispensary licenses, and regulatory approval of the acquisition. With the closing conditions met and the acquisition completed, the Company now owns and operates five adult-use dispensaries in Illinois. For the interim period until the acquisition was completed, the Company entered into a management agreement with Allgreens, with the management fees calculated as a percentage of Allgreens' revenue. Under this management agreement, the Company funded the build-out of the dispensary, including purchasing and retaining ownership of the related fixed assets it intended to use upon the transfer ownership to the Company, hired and trained employees, and implemented the processes necessary to run the dispensary, all of which was completed prior to the state's approval of the license transfer to the Company. In connection with this agreement, the Company recorded expenses related to Allgreens aggregating approximately $250,000 for the period from January 1, 2024 through the Allgreens Acquisition Date as a component of Investments, net of current portion (the "Allgreens Expenses").
Pursuant to the Allgreens Agreement, the Company had made payments aggregating $1,375,000 to the Allgreens members prior to the Allgreens Acquisition Date. On the Allgreens Acquisition Date, the Company made the final cash payment of $875,000 and issued a $1.0 million promissory note (the "Allgreens Note"). The Allgreens Note bears interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum and matures one year from the date the dispensary is permitted to commence operations.
The Company has allocated the purchase price, including the Allgreens Expenses, to its licenses intangible asset, with an estimated useful life of 10 years (see Note 8).
Our Community Wellness & Compassionate Care Center, Inc. ("MedLeaf")
On February 1, 2024 (the "P&S Date"), the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the membership interests of MedLeaf (the "MedLeaf Agreement"), which held a retail dispensary license in Maryland. The MedLeaf dispensary had ceased its operations since July 1, 2023. Upon receiving regulatory approval, the Company reopened the
dispensary and commenced adult-use retail sales on August 19, 2024. The acquisition of MedLeaf provides the Company with a second dispensary in the state of Maryland.
Pursuant to the MedLeaf Agreement, total purchase consideration was $5.25 million, comprised of $2.0 million of cash with adjustments to reflect amounts owed to the Company by the sellers of MedLeaf (the "MedLeaf Sellers"), a $2.0 million promissory note (the "MedLeaf Note"), and shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $1.25 million, with such number of shares calculated using the volume weighted average price based on the ten trading day period ending on the P&S Date. The Company made cash payments aggregating $0.5 million through the P&S Date, which funds were deposited into escrow. On the MedLeaf Acquisition Date, the outstanding cash balance was paid and the promissory note and 3.9 million shares of the Company's common stock were issued. The promissory note bears interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum and matures on October 5, 2025.
The Company has allocated the purchase price to its licenses intangible asset, with an estimated useful life of 10 years (see Note 8).
Pending Transaction at September 30, 2024
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, a Missouri wholesale and cultivator ("Robust"), for $700,000 in cash (the "Robust Agreement"). Completion of the acquisition is dependent upon obtaining all requisite approvals from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. In August 2024, the state of Missouri approved a facility license to conduct business, but has not yet approved the application to transfer the license from Robust to the Company (the "License Transfer"). The Company is currently conducting business under a managed service agreement until the final approval of the License Transfer. Pursuant to the Robust Agreement, the Company made an initial advance payment of $350,000, with the balance due at closing, which will occur upon the state of Missouri's approval of the License Transfer.
