Equity investments where the Company does not exert a controlling interest are not consolidated. All intercompany balances and transactions involving controlled entities are eliminated on consolidation.
3.2 Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”)
Under certain provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810 – Consolidations (“ASC 810”), the Company determines whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE. We assess whether we have the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
A VIE is a legal entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or is structured that such equity investors lack the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights or do not substantively participate in the gains or losses of the entity. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We assess all variable interests in the entity and use our judgment when determining if we are the primary beneficiary. Other qualitative factors that are considered include decision-making responsibilities, the VIE capital structure, risk and rewards sharing, contractual agreements with the VIE, voting rights, and level of involvement of other parties. We assess the primary beneficiary determination for a VIE on an ongoing basis if there are any changes in the facts and circumstances related to a VIE. See Note 5.
Where we determine we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consolidate the accounts of that VIE, under the guidance of ASC 805, Business Combinations, ("ASC 805"). The equity owned by other shareholders of the VIE is shown as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
3.3 Earnings per share
The basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, including Equity Shares, multiple voting shares of the Company (“Multiple Voting Shares”), and Exchangeable Shares, during the period. The diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of shares by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding to assume conversion of potentially dilutive shares, such as Warrants, Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), and Vested Options. The treasury stock method is used for the assumed proceeds upon the exercise of the Exchangeable Shares, Warrants, and Vested Options that are used to purchase Equity Shares at the average market price during the period. If the Company incurs a net loss during a reporting period, the calculation of fully diluted loss per share will not include potentially dilutive equity instruments such as Warrants, RSUs, and Vested Options, because their effect would be anti-dilutive, therefore, basic loss per share and diluted loss per share will be the same. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the potentially dilutive earnings per share included nil and 0.4 million warrants (2021: 6.3 million and 6.5 million) and 3.6 million and 3.2 million RSUs (2021: 1.6 million and 1.4 million), totaling 3.6 million and 3.6 million shares (2021: 7.9 million and 7.9 million) of potentially dilutive securities.
3.4 Significant accounting judgments and estimates
Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to: economic lives of leased assets; allowances for potential uncollectability of accounts receivable; provisions for inventory obsolescence; impairment assessment of goodwill and long-lived assets; depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment; useful lives of intangible assets; accruals for contingencies, including tax contingencies; valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets; estimates of fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, including contingent consideration obligations; estimates of fair value of derivative instruments; and estimates of the fair value of stock-based payment awards.
The global pandemic outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus (“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, as well as the increase in inflation and gas prices, has cast uncertainty on the assumptions used by management in making its judgments and estimates. Management has not observed any indicators of impairment to assets or a significant change in the fair value of assets due to COVID-19. The Company implemented new safety procedures in accordance with the guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at all locations to better protect the health and safety of both employees and customers. The Company is re-assessing its response to and any potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on an ongoing basis.

3.5 Change in accounting standards
The Company is treated as an “emerging growth company” per the definition under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies may delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until the standards apply to private companies.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Topic 326 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which was subsequently revised by ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-11, ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03 (“ASU 2016-13”), which introduces a new model for assessing impairment on most financial assets. Entities will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model, which will replace the current incurred loss model, which will result in earlier recognition of allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods therein. The adoption of ASU 2016-13, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's interim financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 Topic 740 – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods therein. The adoption of ASU 2019-12, on January 1, 2022, did not have a material impact on the Company's interim financial statements.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01 Topic 321 – Investments - Equity Securities, Topic 323 – Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Topic 815 – Derivatives and Hedging (collectively “ASU 2020-01”), which is intended to clarify the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 2020-01 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods therein. The adoption of ASU 2020-01, on January 1, 2022, did not have a material impact on the Company's interim financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 Subtopic 470-20 – Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Subtopic 815-40 – Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity: Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), to improve financial reporting associated with accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods therein. The early adoption of ASU 2020-06, on January 1, 2022, did not have a material impact on the Company's interim financial statements.

4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ASSET ACQUISITIONS
Transactions accounted for as business combinations have been accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, with the results included in the Company’s results from operations from the date of acquisition. The fair value considerations have been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
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 Equity 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 Equity Shares of the Company. The Company treats the Exchangeable Shares as options with a value equal to a share of Equity 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 condensed financial statements due to the fact that (i) they are economically equivalent to the Company’s publicly traded Equity Shares and (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 through the CSE by exchanging them for Equity 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.
The goodwill recognized on acquisitions is attributable mainly to the expected future growth potential and expanded customer base arising as a result of the 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 8.

8. | GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS |
Goodwill
The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs, or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. An impaired asset is written down to its estimated fair value based on the most recent information available.
ASC 350 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Testing Goodwill for Impairment, provides entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether a further quantitative analysis of goodwill is required. In performing the qualitative assessment for the Company’s goodwill impairment test, the Company is required to make assumptions and utilized judgements when evaluating triggering events. If impairment indicators are present after performing the qualitative assessment, the Company would perform a quantitative impairment analysis to estimate the fair value of goodwill.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company performed the qualitative impairment test. As a result of the analysis, no further quantitative impairment test was deemed necessary at this time. There were no impairments of goodwill or intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company’s goodwill is as follows:

In June 2022, the Company completed a sale and lease back transaction to sell two cultivation and processing facilities for a purchase price of $28.1 million, excluding transaction costs. The Company will lease back the facilities and continue to operate and manage them under a long-term agreement. As a result of the sale, the Company divested of $22.2 million of buildings and improvements, and $3.7 million of land. The Company recognized a gain on sale related to the transaction of $2.2 million which was recorded within gain on sale of assets on the Interim Statement of Operations. The lease was recorded as an operating lease and resulted in a lease liability of $25.3 million and an ROU asset of $25.3 million, which was recorded net of a $0.8 million work allowance.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company closed on a real estate financing transaction resulting in $27.6 million of cash proceeds for the sale and simultaneous leaseback of a cultivation facility. The transaction includes a construction financing allowance of up to $14.2 million, which will increase the base rent at the time the construction financing is drawn down. Control was never transferred to the buyer-lessor because the transaction did not qualify for sale-leaseback treatment. Therefore, the Company is deemed to own this real estate and will continue to depreciate the assets and reflect the properties on the Company’s Interim Balance Sheet. The Company recorded a financing obligation for the consideration received from the buyer-lessor, and future cash lease payments will be allocated between interest expense and reduction to the financing obligation, as applicable. As the transactions did not qualify for sale-leaseback treatment, under ASC 842, Leases, no gain or loss was recognized.

13. | DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES |
Purchase Consideration and Contingent Consideration
The earn-out provision related to the acquisition of Sira Naturals, Inc. (“Sira”) is measured at fair value by taking a probability-weighted average of possible outcomes, as estimated by management, and discounting the payment to a present value. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value was $25.4 million and $25.3 million, respectively.
The earn-out provisions related to the acquisitions of Oasis, GSD NJ, LLC (“GSD”), PA Natural, and Cultivauna are measured at fair value based on unobservable inputs and is considered a Level 3 measurement. The provision uses a Monte-Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value through the end of the earn-out period based on the Company’s share price at the acquisition date and other inputs based on other observable market data.
As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of Oasis, GSD, PA Natural, and Cultivauna earn-out provisions were $nil, $90.4 million, $nil, and $5.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of Oasis, GSD, and PA Natural earn-out provisions were $28.7 million, $91.7 million, and $39.9 million, respectively.
During the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company paid and settled its earn-out provision related to the PA Natural acquisition. Ayr paid $10.0 million of cash, issued $14.9 million of promissory notes, and issued $11.7 million of Equity Shares, and recognized a gain during the period of $3.2 million on the change in fair value of the contingent consideration obligation.
During the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company acquired Herbal Remedies and recorded a fair value adjustment on the purchase consideration settlement of $1.8 million related to the issuance of a promissory note.
The fair value adjustment relating to derivative liabilities has been reflected in the Interim Statements of Operations under “Fair value gain (loss) on financial liabilities” as detailed below:

14. | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION |
The Company has adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (“the Plan”), as amended on May 2, 2021, which allows the Company to compensate qualifying plan participants through stock-based arrangements and provide them with opportunities for stock ownership in the Company, thereby aligning the interests of such persons with the Company’s shareholders. Under the Plan, the Company may grant stock options, RSUs, performance compensation awards, and unrestricted stock bonuses or purchases.
In addition, CSAC Acquisition Inc. established a Restricted Stock Plan (the “AcquisitionCo Plan”) to facilitate the granting of restricted Exchangeable Shares.

14. | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued) |
The stock-based compensation expense is based on either the Company’s share price for service-based conditions or the Company’s share price fair value on the date of the grant. The RSUs vest over a one to four-year period, based on service, market, and/or performance conditions. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognized in the current period with no adjustment to prior periods for expense previously recognized. During the periods ended June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recognized stock-based compensation relating to the granting of RSUs.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 547 thousand, of which 294 thousand were issued due to net settlement, Equity Shares vested.

15. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Contingencies
The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of local and state governmental regulations. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on its operations, or losses of permits and/or licenses that could result in the Company ceasing operations. While management of the Company believes that the Company is in compliance, in all material respects, with applicable local and state governmental regulations as of June 30, 2022, cannabis regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations. As a result, the Company may be subject to regulatory fines, penalties, or restrictions in the future.
Claims and Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2022, there were no material pending or threatened lawsuits that could be reasonably expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s operations. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates are an adverse party or have a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.
16. | FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS |
(a) | Fair value |
• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
• Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly.
• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions and are not based on observable market data.
There were no transfers between levels in the hierarchy during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. For financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value, their carrying value is considered to approximate fair value due to their market terms.
The carrying values of cash, deposits, accounts receivable, trade payables, accrued liabilities, accrued interest payable, and purchase consideration payable approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Long-term debt is recorded at amortized cost.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured at their fair values periodically:

16. | FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS (Continued) |
(a) | Fair value (continued) |
The following table summarizes the inputs used at the initial and subsequent measurement dates to value the contingent consideration in the table above:
Equity Volatility | 55.65 - 65.87% | |
Revenue Volatility | 12.45 - 23.96% | |
Risk-free Rate | 1.51 - 2.84% | |
Revenue Risk Premium | 5.76 - 9.61% | |
Credit Risk Rate | 10.50 - 14.00% | |
Discount Rate | 8.40 - 10.00% |
(b) | 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 seeks to manage liquidity risk through maintaining sufficient funds on hand and continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. Refer to Notes 9 and 11 for future lease and debt commitments. The Company has the following gross obligations as of June 30, 2022, which are expected to be payable:

(c) | 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.

17. | TAXATION |
As the Company operates in the legal cannabis industry, the Company is subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E for United States federal income tax purposes as well as state income tax purposes. Under IRC Section 280E, the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E. Therefore, the effective tax rate can be highly variable and may not necessarily correlate with pre-tax income or loss.
The Company is treated as a United States corporation for the United States federal income tax purposes under IRC Section 7874 and is subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide income. However, for Canadian tax purposes, the Company, regardless of any application of IRC Section 7874, is treated as a Canadian resident company (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ITA”) for Canadian income tax purposes. As a result, the Company is subject to taxation both in Canada and the United States. The Company is also subject to state income taxation in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Florida, Arizona, Illinois, and New Jersey. Income Tax is accounted for in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes including ASU 2019-12. The following table summarizes the Company’s income tax expense and effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | |||||||||||||||

Effective tax rate | -32 | % | -29 | % | -74 | % | -35 | % |
The Company’s quarterly tax provision is calculated under the discrete method which treats the interim period as if it were the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on that basis. The discrete method is applied when application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate. The Company believes, at this time, the use of this discrete method is more appropriate than the annual effective tax rate method due to the high degree of uncertainty in estimating annual pre-tax income due to the early growth stage of the business.
18. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
The Company’s management has evaluated subsequent events through the date the interim financial statements were issued.
