(“Ayr”, “the Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) constitutes management’s review of the factors that affected the Company’s financial and operating performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Quarterly Report, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (the “interim financial statements”). Results are reported in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The interim financial statements and the financial information contained in this MD&A were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Further information about the Company and its operations can be obtained on www.sedar.com.

The effective date of this MD&A is August 16, 2021.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

In making these statements, in addition to those described above and elsewhere herein, the parties have made assumptions with respect to expected cash provided by continuing operations, future capital expenditures, including the amount and nature thereof, trends and developments in the industry, business strategy and outlook, expansion and growth of business and operations, accounting policies, credit risks, anticipated acquisitions, opportunities available to or pursued by the parties, and other matters.

Management’s Definition and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Management reports certain non-GAAP measures that are used to evaluate the performance of such businesses and the performance of their respective segments, as well as to manage their capital structure. As non-GAAP measures generally do not have a standardized meaning, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Securities regulations require such measures to be clearly defined and reconciled with their most directly comparable GAAP measure.

The Company references non-GAAP measures including cannabis industry metrics, in this document and elsewhere. These are provided as additional information to complement those GAAP measures by providing further understanding of the results of the operations of the Company from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation, nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP measures used to analyze the performance of the Company include “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted Gross Profit”.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. These financial measures are intended to highlight trends in the Company’s core businesses that may not otherwise be apparent when solely relying on the GAAP measures.

Adjusted EBITDA

“Adjusted EBITDA” represents loss from operations, as reported, before interest and tax, adjusted to exclude non-recurring items, other non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted to remove non-cash stock-based compensation, the accounting for the incremental costs to acquire cannabis inventory in a business combination, acquisition related costs, and start-up costs.

Adjusted Gross Profit

“Adjusted Gross Profit” represents gross profit, as reported, adjusted to exclude the accounting for the incremental costs to acquire cannabis inventory in a business combination, interest, depreciation and amortization, and start-up costs.

Reconciliations are provided elsewhere in this MD&A.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

Description of Business

Ayr is a vertically integrated cannabis multi-state operator in the U.S., with cannabis operations in Massachusetts, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Florida, Arizona, and Ohio. Through its operating companies, Ayr is a leading cultivator, manufacturer, and retailer of cannabis products and branded cannabis packaged goods, and provides operational and service support to licensed cannabis companies. The Company was previously a special purpose acquisition corporation (“SPAC”) which was incorporated for the purpose of effecting an acquisition of one or more businesses or assets, by way of a merger, amalgamation, arrangement, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or any other similar business combination involving the Company, referred to as the Company’s “Qualifying Transaction”. The Company had only one operating segment, cannabis sales, during the period ended June 30, 2021. As the Company has experienced rapid growth, operating segments will be further analyzed and are subject to future change.

The Company is a reporting issuer in the United States and Canada. The Company’s subordinate, restricted, and limited voting shares (“Subordinate Shares”) and warrants (“Warrants”) are trading on the Canadian Stock Exchange (the “CSE”), under the symbols “AYR.A”, “AYR.WT” and “AYR.RT”, respectively. The Company’s Subordinate Shares are also trading on the Over-the-Counter Market (“OTC”) in the United States under the symbol “AYRWF”. The Company originally traded on the OTC under the symbol “AYRSF”, however, that changed on December 4, 2020 to AYRWF.

History of the Company

The Company was incorporated on July 31, 2017 under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and continued on May 24, 2019 into British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) in connection with its Qualifying Transaction. The registered office of the Company is located at 666 Burrard Street, Suite 1700, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 2X8. The head office of the Company is located at 595 Madison Avenue, 20^th Floor, New York, New York, 10022.

On September 12, 2018, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Nevada, United States, named CSAC Holdings Inc., to facilitate the proposed Qualifying Transaction. On September 17, 2018, CSAC Holdings Inc. incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Nevada, United States, named CSAC Acquisition Inc. (“CSAC AcquisitionCo”).

For information on the Company’s Qualifying Transaction, please refer to the Company’s final non-offering prospectus dated February 15, 2019 and the Company’s management information circular dated February 19, 2019.

On May 24, 2019, the Company completed its Qualifying Transaction, including through operational and service agreements, of the target businesses of Washoe Wellness, LLC (“Washoe”), The Canopy NV, LLC (“Canopy”), Sira Naturals, Inc. (“Sira”), LivFree Wellness, LLC (“LivFree”) and CannaPunch of Nevada LLC (“CannaPunch”), which collectively constituted its Qualifying Transaction (collectively, the “Qualifying Transaction”).

Business combinations and asset acquisitions

Each of the acquisitions are subject to specific terms relating to the satisfaction of the purchase price by the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and incorporates payments in cash, shares, and debt as well as certain contingent considerations. The shares issued as consideration are either Subordinate Shares or non-voting exchangeable shares of the Company’s subsidiaries (“Exchangeable Shares”) that are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into an equal number of Subordinate Shares of the Company. The Company treats the Exchangeable Shares as options with a value equal to a share of Subordinate Shares, which represents the holder’s claim on the equity of the Company. The Company has presented these Exchangeable Shares as a part of shareholders’ equity within these interim financial statements due to (i) the fact that they are economically equivalent to the Company’s publicly traded Subordinate Shares (ii) the holders of the Exchangeable Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer under United States securities laws, but may dispose of the Exchangeable Shares without such restriction by exchanging them for Subordinate Shares of the Company. Changes in these assumptions would affect the presentation of the Exchangeable Shares from shareholders’ equity to non-controlling interests; however, there would be no impact on loss per share.

Ayr Wellness Inc.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

The goodwill recognized on acquisitions is attributable mainly to the expected future growth potential and expanded customer base arising as a result of completion of the respective acquisition. Goodwill has been allocated to the reporting units corresponding to the states of the acquired businesses. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. For further analysis on goodwill relating to business combinations, see Note 7 on the interim financial statements. All the acquisitions noted below were accounted for in accordance with ASC 805.

2021 First Quarter Acquisitions

Business combinations

On February 26, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of 242 Cannabis LLC and DFMMJ Investments LLC (doing business as (“dba”) Liberty Health Sciences Florida Ltd.)

Asset acquisition

Greenlight Management has a management agreement with Parma Wellness, Center, LLC (“Parma”). Collectively, the Liberty, Oasis, Ohio Medical, and Parma acquisitions are referred to as the “Q1 2021 Acquisitions.”

The details of the purchase consideration consist of cash, debt, Subordinate Shares, Exchangeable Shares, contingent consideration, purchase consideration payable, and replacement options issued.

Final valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are not yet complete due to the inherent complexity associated with valuations and the short period of time between the acquisition date and the period end. Therefore, the purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to adjustment on completion of the valuation process and analysis of resulting tax effects. During the quarter, the Company revised the previously disclosed provisional amounts reflected in the interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Further changes may still be required as management works to finalize the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Management will finalize the accounting for the acquisitions no later than one year from the date of the respective acquisition dates. Differences between these provisional estimates and the final acquisition accounting may occur and these differences could have a material impact.

Fair Value Considerations

The consideration has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The business combinations have been accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, with the results included in the Company’s net earnings from the date of acquisition.

Ayr Wellness Inc.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 

The Company plans to implement its growth strategy by targeting acquisition opportunities in limited license jurisdictions, applying for de novo licenses and expanding its presence in current markets.

COVID-19 Strategy

During the pandemic, the Company was able to maintain operations and expand delivery options and curbside pick-up to provide additional fulfillment models that are safe and efficient for employees and customers. Management has not observed any indicators of impairment to assets or a significant change in the fair value of assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company evaluated risk of supply chain disruption as well as staffing disruption. While Ayr has not experienced any failure to secure critical supplies or services, future disruptions in the supply chain are possible and may significantly increase cost or delay production time. To mitigate this risk, bulk orders are being placed in advance with key vendors. To remediate the risk of staffing disruption, the Company implemented new safety procedures in accordance with the guidance of the CDC at all locations to better protect the health and safety of both employees and customers. The Company is re-assessing its response to the COVID-19 pandemic on an ongoing basis. Due to the rapid developments and uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, it is not possible to predict the impact of these developments on all aspects of the business.

Forward-Looking Financial Projections or Targets

Based on the results to date, management is expecting revenue during Q3 2021 of approximately $100 million, which reflects growth of over 10% sequentially and 218% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to remain flat with the prior quarter on a US GAAP basis, reflecting the investment in new markets and growth projects that are expected to generate meaningful revenue in the second half of 2021 and 2022.

The company is updating its 2022 targets to reflect its accelerated investments in driving growth in both the retail and wholesale segments. The Company now expects 2022 revenue of approximately $800 million, an increase from its original guidance of at least $725 million. On a US GAAP-adjusted basis, the Company is reiterating its prior guidance for 2022 with Adjusted EBITDA of $300 million.

In developing the 2022 guidance set forth above, Ayr made the following assumptions and relied on the following factors and considerations (as well as those referred to under “Forward-Looking Information”):

Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was $91.3 million and $28.3 million, respectively, increasing $63 million or 222%. The increase in revenue was driven by both organic growth and market expansion due to acquisitions. Excluding the addition of our 6th retail store in Nevada, same store sales from our original footprint of Massachusetts and Nevada increased 185%.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was $149.7 million and $61.9 million, respectively, increasing $87.8 million or 142%. Between June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, Ayr opened or acquired 43 dispensaries further driving the increase in revenue.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was $22.3 million and $17.1 million, respectively, increasing $5.2 million or 30.4%. Gross profit percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 24.4% and 60.5%, respectively. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was $46.8 million and $33.8 million, respectively, an increase of $13.0 million or 38.5%. Gross profit percentage for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was 31.3% and 54.7%, respectively.

The decrease in gross profit percentage for the three and six month periods was primarily driven by the incremental costs to acquire cannabis inventory in a business combination. These incremental costs represent the realized fair value impact from the sales of inventory acquired in a business combination. 

Adjusted gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was $53.1 million and $18.1 million, respectively, increasing $35 million or 193.6%. Adjusted gross profit percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was 58.2% and 63.9%, respectively. The decrease was due to a lower sales base in the prior year due to the impact of COVID-19 resulting in a higher percentage of internally sourced products.

Adjusted gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was $87.3 million and $35.5 million, respectively, increasing $51.8 million or 146.0%. Adjusted gross profit percentage for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 58.3% and 57.4%, respectively. The increase was due to expansion into new markets which results in different macro-economic factors such as pricing, labor cost, and ability to scale.

Total Expenses

Total expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $47.2 million and $22.6 million, respectively, increasing $24.6 million or 109%. The increase in expense is due to an increase in general and administrative expenses and amortization expense of $16.5 and $7.6 million, respectively. Total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $80.0 million and $47.8 million, respectively, increasing $32.2 million or 67%. The increase in expense is due to an increase in general and administrative expenses and amortization expense of $23.0 and $9.3 million, respectively.

The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three and six month periods was primarily driven by the expansion to new markets and the investment in talent and infrastructure. The increase to amortization expense over the three and six month periods is driven by the acquisition of cannabis licenses, which are classified as intangible assets and amortized over their useful lives.

Total expenses as a percent of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, were 52% and 80%, respectively. Total expenses as a percent of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, were 53% and 77%, respectively. The decrease for the three and six month periods was driven by operational efficiencies providing leverage as revenue increased during the same periods by 222% and 142%, respectively.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments based on the funds available to the Company in order to support business development. The directors do not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather rely on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business. In order to carry out the planned business development and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and seek to raise additional amounts, as needed. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the periods ended June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements apart from the need to maintain its listing in accordance with stock exchange requirements.

The Company raises capital, as necessary, to meet its needs and take advantage of perceived opportunities and, therefore, does not have a numeric target for its capital structure. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company plans to use existing funds, as well as funds from the future sale of products, to fund operations and expansion activities. However, the Company may attempt to issue new shares or issue new debt for acquisitions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue raising capital in this manner.

The Company strengthened its cash position with a senior secured debt offering of $110 million that closed on December 10, 2020 and an equity offering with gross proceeds of approximately $157.6CDN million that closed on January 14, 2021.

Share Capital

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had share capital of $1,174.2 million and $524.3 million, respectively, consisting of additional paid-in capital.

Outstanding Shares

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had 9,463,575 Subordinate Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants, 3,624,429 restricted Exchangeable Share units, and 240,187 Subordinate Shares issuable upon the exercise of options. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had 10,486,312 Subordinate Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants, 4,235,150 restricted Exchangeable Share units, and 138,394 Subordinate Shares issuable upon the exercise of rights reserved for issuance.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had working capital of $163.0 million compared to December 31, 2020 when it had working capital of $127.1 million.

Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The application of the Company’s accounting policies requires management to use estimates and judgments that can have a significant effect on the revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities recognized, and disclosures made in the interim financial statements.

Management’s best estimates concerning the future are based on the facts and circumstances available at the time estimates are made. Management uses historical experience, general economic conditions, and assumptions regarding probable future outcomes as the basis for determining estimates. Estimates and their underlying assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of any changes are recognized at that time. Actual results could differ from the estimates used.

The global pandemic outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, store closures, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, may cause material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. COVID-19 has cast uncertainty on the assumptions used by management in making its judgments and estimates.

The following discusses the most significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions that the Company has made in the preparation of its financial statements.

Business combination

A business combination is a transaction or event in which an acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses and is accounted for using the acquisition method. The total consideration paid for the acquisition is the aggregate of the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and equity instruments issued in exchange for control of the acquiree at the acquisition date. The acquisition date is the date when the Company obtains control of the acquiree.

Contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition date fair value and is included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination, subject to the applicable terms and conditions.

Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with the criteria and guidance provided under ASC 450 – Contingencies.

Based on the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, management will perform a valuation analysis to allocate the purchase price based on the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. Management has one year from the acquisition date to confirm and finalize the facts and circumstances that support the finalized fair value analysis and related purchase price allocation. Until such time, these values are provisionally reported and are subject to change. Changes to fair values and allocations are retrospectively adjusted in subsequent periods.

Ayr Wellness Inc.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

In determining the fair value of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the most significant estimates generally relate to contingent consideration and intangible assets. Management exercises judgment in estimating the probability and timing of when earn-outs are expected to be achieved, which is used as the basis for estimating fair value. Identified intangible assets are fair valued using appropriate valuation techniques which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future net cash flows of the acquiree. Valuations are highly dependent on the inputs used and assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of these assets and any changes in the discount rate applied.

Judgment is applied in determining whether an acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition by considering the nature of the assets acquired and the processes applied to those assets, or if the integrated set of assets and activities is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return to investors or other owners.

Inventory

In calculating the value of inventory, management is required to make a number of estimates, including estimating the stage of growth of the cannabis up to the point of harvest, expected yields for the cannabis plants, harvesting costs, net realizable value, selling costs, average or expected selling prices, and impairment factors. In calculating final inventory values, management compares the inventory costs to estimated net realizable value as well as investigates slow moving inventory, if applicable. The estimates are judgmental in nature and are made at a point in time, using available information, such as expected business plans and expected market conditions. Periodic reviews are performed on the inventory balance with the changes in inventory reserves reflected in cost of goods sold.

Estimated useful lives and depreciation of PPE

Depreciation of PPE is dependent upon estimates of useful lives, which are determined through the exercise of judgments. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.

Valuation, estimated life and impairment of intangible assets

Management uses significant judgment in estimating the useful lives and impairment. Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Impairment tests rely on judgments and estimates related to growth rates, discount rates, and estimated margins.

Goodwill impairment

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may have been impaired. In order to determine that the value of goodwill may have been impaired, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine that it was more-likely-than-not if the reporting unit’s carrying value is less than the fair value, indicating the potential for goodwill impairment. A number of factors, including historical results, business plans, forecasts, and market data are used to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. Changes in the conditions for these judgments and estimates can significantly affect the assessed value of goodwill.

Leases

Each capitalized lease is evaluated to determine if the Company would exercise any of the renewal options offered. Several material factors are considered in determining if the renewal options would be exercised, such as length of the renewal, renewal rate, and ability to transfer locations. When measuring lease liabilities, the Company used discounted lease payments using a weighted-average rate in the range of 9.8% to 15.0% per annum. The weighted-average rate is based on the internal borrowing rate, which relies on judgments and estimates.

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

Provisions and contingent liabilities

When the Company is more likely than not to incur an outflow of resources to settle an obligation and the amount can be reasonably estimated, a contingent liability is recorded. The contingent liability is recorded at management’s best estimates of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at period end, discounted to the present value, if material.

Financial instruments

To determine the fair value of financial instruments, the Company develops assumptions and selects certain methods to perform the fair value calculations. Various methods considered include but are not limited to: (a) assigning the value attributed to the transaction at the time of origination; (b) re-measuring the instrument if it requires concurrent fair value measurement; and (c) valuing the instrument at the issuance value less any amortized costs. As judgment is a factor in determining the value and selecting a method, as well as the inherent uncertainty in estimating the fair value, the valuation estimates may be different.

Application of the option pricing model requires estimates in expected dividend yields, expected volatility in the underlying assets, and the expected life of the financial instruments. These estimates may ultimately be different from amounts subsequently realized, resulting in an overstatement or understatement of net loss and comprehensive loss.

Expected credit loss

Management determines expected credit loss (“ECL”) by evaluating individual receivable balances and considering customers’ financial condition and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. All receivables are expected to be collected within one year of the period end.

Risk Factors

Please refer to the Company’s final non-offering prospectus dated February 24, 2021, the Company’s management information circular dated June 7, 2021, and the Company’s Annual Information Form for information on the risk factors to which the Company is subject. In addition, see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information” above.

Financial Instruments, Financial Risk Management and Other Instruments

The Company does not utilize financial instruments such as derivatives to manage financial risks. The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, deposits, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debts payable, senior secured notes, and contingent consideration included as purchase consideration relating to business combinations. These financial instruments are measured at fair value or are short-term in nature where fair value approximates their carrying value (see Note 18 to the financial statements).

The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The Company’s management oversees the management of these risks. The Company`s management is supported by the members that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The Company’s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with Company policies and risk appetite.

Fair value measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits from the asset’s highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would utilize the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are considered to be appropriate in the circumstances and for which there is sufficient data with unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the interim financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy. This is described, as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

The hierarchy used to fair value the financial instruments as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, were as follows:

There were no transfers between levels in the hierarchy. For financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value, their carrying value is considered to approximate fair value due to their market terms.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk, and interest rate risk. The Company’s management oversees the management of these risks. The Company’s management is supported by the members of the Board of Directors that advise on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The Company’s financial risk activities are governed by policies and procedures and financial risks are identified, measured, and managed in accordance with the Company’s policies and the Company’s risk appetite.

The Company quantified the sensitivity of inputs in relation to the contingent consideration as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and would expect the following effects on fair value in the event of changes to the discount rate to the earn-out provisions related to the acquisitions of Sira and Oasis, respectively:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, deposits, and accounts receivable. To address its credit risk arising from cash and deposits, the Company ensures to keep these balances with reputable financial institutions. The Company has not recorded an ECL as all amounts are considered to be recoverable and are immaterial. The Company is not significantly exposed to its accounts receivable due to its diversified customer base and a stringent collection policy. No ECL has been recorded by the Company as all receivables are expected to be collected and are not significant. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the maximum amount exposed to credit risks was $130,381,243 and $130,702,566, respectively, including cash. The components of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, were:

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to generate or obtain sufficient cash in a cost-effective manner to fund its obligations as they come due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company manages liquidity risk through maintaining sufficient funds on hand and continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all trade payables and accrued liabilities are due within a year. Refer to the Summary of Future Commitments table for future lease and debt commitments. The Company has the following gross obligations as of June 30, 2021, which are expected to be payable:

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash and long-term debts. Cash and deposits bear interest at market rates. The Company’s debts have fixed rates of interest. The Company does not use any derivative instruments to hedge against interest rate risk and believes that the change in interest rates will not have a significant impact on its financial results.

Currency Risk

The operating results and financial position of the Company are reported in United States dollars. As the Company operates in an international environment, some of the Company’s financial instruments and transactions are denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time. The Company believes that a change in exchange rates will not have a significant impact on financial results. The Company performed a sensitivity analysis on the conversion rate applied to Canadian balances:
