Table of Contents Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Members’ and Board of Directors of Green Tree Combined Entities

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Green Tree Combined Entities which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of income, statement of Members’ Equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Green Tree Combined Entities as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Green Tree Combined Entities and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained

is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the

Table of Contents aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:

oExercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

oIdentify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

oObtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Green Tree Combined Entities internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

oEvaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

oConclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Green Tree Combined Entities ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

Notes to Financial Statements

1.	ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

The financial statements presented herein are the combined financial statements of Ancient Alternatives, LLC, Natural Alternatives for Life, LLC, Hillside Enterprises, LLC, Mountainside Industries, LLC, and GT Creations, LCC (altogether “Green Tree” or the “Company”). The Company’s principal businesses include the cultivation and wholesale distribution of cannabis, and the retail sale of both medicinal and recreational cannabis products, including the production and sale of marijuana infused products. The Companies’ operations are located in Boulder, Longmont, and Berthoud, Colorado.

The Company’s business is subject to legal risk. Even though the State of Colorado has granted licenses to the Company for cultivation and retail distribution of marijuana products, these activities remain illegal under federal law. This causes difficulty in obtaining traditional banking and financing relationships. If the federal government elects to enforce the laws as currently written or changes the laws with respect to cannabis, it could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations, including potential prosecution under the laws and liquidation of the Company. The Company is also subject to a variety of state laws, regulations, and local ordinances.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Transactions between two or more of the companies within the combined group have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates, and such results could be material.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. FDIC insured cash balances held in a bank are approximately $107,000 and $482,000 as of December 31, 2021 and 2010, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses on this account, and management believes that the Company’s risk of loss is remote. The remainder of the Company’s recorded cash balances consist of cash on hand and a money market investment .

Inventories

Inventories consists of marijuana plants, marijuana flower, edibles, concentrates, and accessories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The Company periodically reviews physical inventory to specifically identify and adjust the value of excess, obsolete, and otherwise unsaleable items. Based on the low level of historical write-offs and frequent inventory turnover, management believes that obsolete inventory as of the fiscal year end is immaterial, and therefore no reserve for obsolete inventory is recorded as of December 31, 2021 or 2020.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. When property and equipment is sold or retired, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and gains or losses are recorded in the statements of income. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Table of Contents

Green Tree

Notes to Financial Statements

Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:


Leasehold improvements	3-12 years
Furniture and equipment	5-7 years
Computer equipment	5 years

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

GAAP requires that long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to undiscounted future net cash flows the asset is expected to generate. Specifically, management projects undiscounted cash flows expected over the period to be benefited. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent management’s best estimate based on currently available information and reasonable, supportable assumptions. Any impairment recognized is permanent and may not be restored. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company believes no indicators of impairment exist.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (the “revenue standard” or “ASC 606”).

The Company generates revenue from the sale of cannabis to wholesale and individual retail customers. It recognizes this revenue at a point in time when control of the goods has been transferred to the customer at an amount which reflects the consideration the Company receives in exchange for those goods. The Company’s sales consist of a single performance obligation for which the transaction price for a given product sold is equivalent to the price quoted for the product, net of any discounts or allowances applicable at a point in time.

The Company has elected to exclude from measurement of the transaction price all taxes (e.g., sales, use, value added and certain excise taxes) that are assessed by a governmental authority in connection with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from the customer. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue net of taxes.

The Company generally does not have contract assets or contract liabilities.

Leases

The Companies account for leases in accordance with ASC 842 requires companies leasing assets to recognize on their balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset. The Company elected to apply the short-term lease exemption for all leases with an original term of less than 12 months, for purposes of applying the recognition and measurement requirements in the new lease standard. See Note 4 for further discussion of the Company’s leases.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes the costs of inventory sold including the product packaging as well as any inventory shrink due to theft or waste.

Advertising and Marketing costs

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred.

Table of Contents

Green Tree

Notes to Financial Statements

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as an S-Corporation under the provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, taxable income and losses of the Company are reported on the income tax returns of the Company’s member and no provision for income taxes has been reflected in these financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Certain accounting standards have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date and are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption. These financial statements do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to the Companies’ financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

3.	PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment consisted of the following:


As of December 31,		2021		2020
Leasehold improvements	$	2,065,049	$	2,031,786
Furniture and equipment		718,641		709,546
Computer equipment		61,154		6,059
Total property and equipment		2,844,844		2,747,391
Less: Acummulated depreciation		(1,403,009)		(1,106,186)
Property and equipment, net	$	1,441,834	$	1,641,206

4.	LEASES

The Company has operating leases for cultivation facilities, retail store locations and warehouse space. The company’s warehouse leases are short-term related party leases with no long-term agreements and are therefore not recorded on the accompanying balance sheets. Certain other leases are also related party leases, see Note 7 for additional information on related party leases.

The Company’s long-term leases include options to extend the lease term, however these options are not reasonably certain to be exercised and therefore are not included in the determination of the lease obligation or ROU asset. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The weighted average remaining term of the Company’s long-term leases is 2.8 years as of December 31, 2021.

In addition to the monthly base rent payments, the Company’s lease agreements contain non-lease components such as common-area maintenance costs, insurance costs, and real estate taxes. These non-lease components are accounted for separately, and, in accordance with ASC 842, are excluded from the recognition and measurement of the lease obligation.

The Company’s operating lease liabilities and ROU assets are presented separately on the accompanying Balance Sheet. The leases do not have a stated interest rate, and therefore management used a discount rate of 10% to determine the present value of the lease obligation.


Maturity of Lease Obligation as of December 31, 2021
2022	$	558,224
2023		366,348
2024		66,640

Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line bases over the term of the lease. Lease expense related to the cultivation facilities is included in Costs of Goods Sold and lease expense related to the retail store locations and warehouse space are included in Occupancy costs in the accompanying Statement of Income and Member’s Equity. The total lease cost, including short-term leases, was approximately $558,000 and $764,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

5.	ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES

Details of the Company’s accrued expenses and other current liabilities are as follows:

Sales tax and excise tax payable		151,342		136,063
Other payables and accruals		25,057		22,567
Total accounts payable and accrued expenses	$	342,580	$	431,022

6.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of local and state regulation. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on its operations, or losses of permits that could result in the Company ceasing operations. While management of the Company believes that the Company followed applicable local and state regulation for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and through the date of the financial statements, 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.

7.	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related Party Leases

As discussed above in Note 4, the Company’s has certain leases with related parties. The related party leases cultivation, retail, and warehouse facilities. The total related party lease payments were approximately $208,000 and $229,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The portion of the Company’s lease obligation and associated ROU asset attributable to the related party leases are as follows:


As of December 31,		2021		2020
Related party ROU	$	261,271	$	389,344
Related party lease obligation		318,791		459,920

Related Party Salaries

The Company compensates its owners for their role in managing the business. The Company paid the owners approximately $1,585,000 and $1,285,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These costs are included in Labor and benefits in the accompanying Statement of Income and Members’ Equity. The Company also made immaterial payments of professional fees to related parties.

9.	SALE OF BUSINESS

$700,000, which included approximately $292,000 of cash and a $408,000 promissory note-receivable. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of this cultivation operation of approximately $438,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2021, the remaining balance on the note receivable was approximately

$172,000.

10.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

2.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these unaudited combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited combined financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company at the dates and for the periods indicated. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. The comparative balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 is derived from the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates, and such results could be material.

Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies are included in Note 2 of the Company’s audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. There were not changes to these accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
