USE OF NAMES AND CURRENCY
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company,” or “TILT” refer to TILT Holdings Inc. together with its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “$,” “US$,” “USD,” or “USD$” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to United States dollars, and all references to “C$,” “CAD,” or “CAD$” refer to Canadian dollars.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States (“U.S.”) securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to expectations, projections, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, and the Company’s objectives, goals, strategies, beliefs, intentions, plans, estimates, projections and outlook, including statements relating to the Company’s plans and objectives, or estimates or predictions of actions of customers, suppliers, competitors or regulatory authorities. These statements are subject to certain risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect”, “likely,” “potential,” “proposed,” “scheduled,” “forecast,” or “anticipate,” and similar expressions, as well as future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “might,” and “could” identify forward-looking statements.
Management of the Company has based the forward-looking statements on its current views with respect to future events and financial performance and has made assumptions and applied certain factors regarding, among other things: future product pricing; costs of inputs; the Company’s ability to successfully market its products to its anticipated clients; the Company’s reliance on its key personnel; certain regulatory requirements; the application of federal and state environmental laws; the impact of increasing competition; the Company’s ability to successfully execute its operating plan for the next 12 months; the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing on favorable terms; the Company’s ability to defer principal and interest payments on certain notes; the Company’s ability to successfully negotiate a mutually agreeable waiver and forbearance agreement with certain noteholders; the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals; and the regulatory environments in which the Company operates. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. The Company’s forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. The purpose of forward-looking statements is to provide the reader with a description of management’s expectations, and such forward-looking statements may not be appropriate for any other purpose.
By its nature, forward-looking information is subject to risks and uncertainties, and there are a variety of risk factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, and that may cause actual outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the status of cannabis as a controlled substance under the U.S. Federal Controlled Substances Act; risks related to the enforcement activities by the U.S. Department of Justice; risks related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; reputational risk to third parties; risks associated with banking, financial transactions and anti-money laundering laws and regulations; risks related to federal and state forfeiture laws; the risk of heightened scrutiny by regulatory authorities; risks related to the potential negative impact of regulatory scrutiny on raising capital; risks related to regulatory or political change; risks due to industry immaturity or limited comparable, competitive or established industry best practices; risks related to the uncertainty surrounding existing protection from U.S. federal prosecution relating to cannabis laws; risks related to uncertainty with respect to geo-political disruptions; risks related to regulatory changes in relation to vaporization devices and subsequent impacts to interstate commerce, registrations and revenue reporting requirements, and potential excise tax applicability; risks relating to tax status; risks associated with the Company’s business model; risks related to the Company’s dependency on skilled labor, equipment, parts, components and key inputs; risks related to the reliance on third party suppliers; risks related to adverse economic conditions, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and increasing interest rates; risks that the Company’s actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the expectations of the Company’s management; risks related to the costs and obligations relating to the Company’s investment in infrastructure, growth, regulatory compliance and operations; risks related to the 3
Table of Contents Company’s dependency on regulatory approvals and licenses to conduct its business; risks related to the potential for changes in laws, regulations and guidelines which could adversely affect the Company’s future business; risks related to a failure on the part of the Company to comply with applicable regulations; risks related to the legal, regulatory and scientific status of cannabis; risks related to the Company’s ability to find suitable candidates and capital necessary to complete strategic alliances or partnerships; risks related to the Company’s ability to successfully identify and execute future acquisitions or dispositions; risks related to indebtedness and the Company’s ability to extend, refinance or repay such indebtedness; risks related to the Company’s ability to develop its products; risks related to the Company’s ability to achieve successful cultivation; risks related to adverse environmental conditions, accidents and labor disputes; risks related to the Company’s ability to turn a profit or generate immediate revenues; risks related to limitations on the permissible ownership of licenses; risks related to constraints on marketing the Company’s products under varying state laws; risks related to the potential results of future clinical research; risks related to the Company’s ability to effectively manage its growth and operations; risks related to the regulation of medical cannabis by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; risks related to the differing local rules and regulations and the impact this may have on the Company’s ability to expand into new markets; risks related to the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights and allegations that the Company is in violation of intellectual property rights of third parties; risks relating to access to banking; risks relating to disclosure of personal information to government or regulatory entities; risks related to the potential requirement to disclose personal identifying information to government or regulatory entities; risk that the Company may be forced to litigate or defend its intellectual property rights, or to defend against claims by third parties against the Company relating to intellectual property rights; risks related to data privacy laws, rules and regulations; risks relating to fraudulent activity by employees, contractors and consultants; risks regarding the enforceability of contracts; risk of litigation generally; risks relating to increasing competition in the industry; risks relating to the Company’s ability to secure adequate or reliable sources of funding; risks relating to product recalls; risks relating to reliance on technology systems that may be subject to cyber-attacks or security breaches; risks that the Company’s officers and directors may be engaged in a range of business activities resulting in conflicts of interest; risks that the Company’s officers, directors and other parties may exert significant influence on the Company; risks relating to the Company’s inability to successfully implement adequate internal controls over financial reporting; risks relating to restrictions on entry to the U.S. for the Company’s Canadian individuals; risks relating to the potential that bond requirements and insurance premiums may be economically prohibitive; risks relating to global economic and political instability and conflicts; the risk that the Company’s web presence’s visibility is not limited by geography; risks relating to volatility in the market price of the Company’s securities; risks related to price volatility of publicly traded securities; risks related to dilution of the Company’s securities; risks related to the Company’s securities being currently quoted on the OTCQB; and other factors beyond our control, as more particularly described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 22, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”) and on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval Plus (“SEDAR+”) at www.sedarplus.com.
Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all factors and assumptions which may have been used. Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such forward-looking information and statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information and statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information and statements. The forward-looking information and statements contained herein are presented for the purposes of assisting readers in understanding our expected financial and operating performance and our plans and objectives and may not be appropriate for other purposes.
The forward-looking information and statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represent our views and expectations as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update such forward-looking information and statements at a future time, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Nature and Continuance of Operations
TILT Holdings Inc. (“TILT” or the “Company”) is a business solutions provider to the global cannabis industry offering a diverse range of value-added products and services to industry participants. Through a portfolio of companies providing technology, hardware, cultivation and production, TILT services brands and cannabis retailers in regulated markets across 40 states in the United States (“U.S.”), as well as Canada, Israel, Mexico, South America, and the European Union.
TILT was incorporated under the laws of Nevada pursuant to NRS Chapter 78 on June 22, 2018. The Company was continued under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) pursuant to a Certificate of Continuance dated November 14, 2018. The Company is a reporting issuer in Canada in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario and its common shares are listed for trading on the Cboe Canada (formerly known as the NEO Exchange) under the symbol “TILT.” In addition, the common shares are quoted on the OTCQB in the U.S. under the symbol “TLLTF.” The Company’s head office is in Phoenix, Arizona and its registered office is located at Suite 2400, 745 Thurlow Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 0C5 Canada.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company has experienced operating losses since its inception and may continue to incur losses in the development of its business. The Company incurred a comprehensive loss of $45,606 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and has an accumulated deficit of $1,071,685 as of June 30, 2024. Additionally, as of June 30, 2024, the Company had negative working capital of $34,962 compared to negative working capital of $19,798 as of December 31, 2023. The negative working capital is related to certain notes payable becoming due within the next 12 months, including the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), the employee retention credit note, and obligation under the 2023 Refinanced Notes and 2023 New Notes (each defined below). See Note 10 — Notes Payable for additional information.
On May 2, 2024, Standard Farms, LLC (“Standard Farms PA”) entered into a Secured Promissory Note with a third party experienced retailer and operator (the “Lender”) for borrowings up to $10,500 (the “2024 Standard Farms Loan”). Proceeds from the 2024 Standard Farms Loan will be used to construct dispensaries obtained via a permit issued from the Department of Health, Bureau of Medical Marijuana, of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “Commonwealth”). The Standard Farms PA permit will allow the construction and operation of up to three medical marijuana dispensaries in the Commonwealth (collectively, the “Retail Locations”). Proceeds from the 2024 Standard Farms Loan will also be utilized for the initial setup and operation of the Retail Locations. The 2024 Standard Farms Loan will mature on December 31, 2027, and will initially bear interest at 20%. The interest rate will automatically increase to 30% upon Standard Farm PA’s opening a Retail Location and completing a first commercial sale in the Commonwealth (“Location Opening Date”). On May 2, 2024, the Company drew $3,000 in proceeds on the 2024 Standard Farms Loan, $1,700 of which is allocated to a contingent interest derivative, and recognized a debt discount of $784. See Note 10 — Notes Payable for additional information.
On February 15, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Company and its subsidiaries, Jimmy Jang, L.P. (“JJ LP”), Baker Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “Baker”), Commonwealth Alternative Care (“CAC”), and Jupiter Research LLC (“Jupiter”) (collectively, the “Subsidiary Borrowers”) entered into a first amendment (the “NPA Amendment”) to its existing junior secured note purchase agreement (the “2019 Junior Notes NPA”) with Jordan Geotas, as the noteholder representative (the “Noteholder Representative”) on behalf of the noteholders under the 2019 Junior Notes NPA (the “Note Holders”) and refinanced $38,000 in aggregate principal amount of secured promissory notes issued originally under the 2019 Junior Notes NPA (the “2023 Refinanced Notes”).

Table of Contents Pursuant to the NPA Amendment, the Subsidiary Borrowers also issued by way of private placement secured promissory notes (the “2023 New Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $8,260 to the Note Holders with a maturity date of February 15, 2027. The consideration for the 2023 New Notes was paid by an offset of an existing unsecured obligation owed by the Subsidiary Borrowers to the Note Holders. See Note 10 — Notes Payable for additional information.
On March 13, 2023, the Company, through its subsidiary Jupiter, entered into an amendment to its existing $10,000 Revolving Facility to increase the amount available under the Revolving Facility to $12,500 and extend the maturity date to July 21, 2024. The Revolving Facility bears interest at the prime rate plus 3%.
On May 15, 2023, the Company and its subsidiaries issued senior secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $4,500 (the “2023 Bridge Notes”). The 2023 Bridge Notes provided gross cash proceeds of $4,000 with an original issue discount of $500 and require monthly payments of $750 which started July 1, 2023. The 2023 Bridge Notes bore interest at the greater of 16% or the prime rate plus 8.5%, payable monthly, with a maturity date of December 1, 2023.
The Company’s operating plans for the next 12 months include (i) increasing revenue growth from the sale of existing products and the introduction of new products across all operating segments; (ii) reducing production and operational costs as a result of efficiencies in cannabis operations; (iii) reducing supply chain costs; (iv) reducing and delaying overhead and other certain expenditures; (v) obtaining other financings as necessary; and (vi) deferring principal and interest payments on the 2023 Refinanced Notes.
The Company believes that successfully implementing these operating plans will help to mitigate any substantial doubt raised by our historical operating results and satisfy our estimated liquidity needs for the 12 months following the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. However, during the second quarter of 2023, a primary supplier significantly changed the payment terms of the Company’s trade payable. This was an unexpected event impacting short-term liquidity, therefore, the Company secured additional financing through the issuance of the 2023 Bridge Notes to satisfy the transition of the new payment terms and provide working capital for the business. The issuance of the 2023 Bridge Notes required the Company to have to obtain a waiver of the financial covenant defaults expected to occur for the 2023 Refinanced Notes and 2023 New Notes. As a result of the waiver, the Company had to pay default interest rates on its 2023 Refinanced Notes and 2023 New Notes, which resulted in an increase from 16.5% as of March 31, 2023 to 25.0% as of June 30, 2023. On October 2, 2023, the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers entered into the Limited Waiver and Continued Forbearance Agreement (the “October Forbearance Agreement”) with the Noteholder Representative on behalf of the Note Holders under the 2019 Junior Notes NPA. The October Forbearance Agreement reduced the interest rate on the 2023 Refinanced Notes to 17.0% as of September 30, 2023.
However, as of June 30, 2024, the Company used a default rate of 26.0% to accrue interest on the 2023 Refinanced Notes due to noncompliance with financial covenants. The 26.0% interest rate represents the prime rate of 8.5% plus 8.5%, the 8% default interest rate, and the 1% annual increase pursuant to the NPA Amendment, as the principal balance was more than $30,000 as of the first anniversary of the Effective Date. The 2023 New Notes remain at the default interest rate of 25.0%.
The interest payments required under these rates will constrain the Company’s liquidity while these rates remain in effect. While, as of the date of this filing, the Company is not in compliance with certain payment obligations and covenants under the 2023 Refinanced Notes and the 2023 New Notes, the Note Holders have not provided the requisite notice of an event of default under these notes. The Company is currently negotiating a waiver and forbearance agreement with the Note Holders to address such non-compliance. The Company can provide no assurance that the parties will reach a mutually agreeable resolution. See Note 10 — Notes Payable for additional information.
The Company cannot predict with certainty the outcome of its actions to generate liquidity as discussed above, including the availability of additional financing as necessary, or whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity as currently planned. Therefore, management has concluded there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months after the date of this filing. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Table of Contents 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with (i) United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q, and (iii) Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of our management, our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and accompanying notes (the “Financial Statements”) include all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for the fair statement of the interim periods presented. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year, or any other period. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements (and notes thereto) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”), as filed with the SEC on March 22, 2024 and with the relevant Canadian securities regulatory authorities under our profile on SEDAR+. Except as noted below, there have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules and regulations.
The financial data included in the Financial Statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, statements of changes in shareholder’s equity, and cash flows of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current year ending December 31, 2024.
Principles of Consolidation
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as the accounts of any entities over which the Company has a controlling financial interest in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 Consolidation. All transactions and balances between these entities have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these Financial Statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Restricted Cash
The Company had $1,300 and $1,298 in restricted cash as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Included in restricted cash was a certificate of deposit related to Jupiter customs bonds totaling $1,254 and $1,253 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Table of Contents
Estimated Useful Lives and Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is dependent upon estimates of useful lives which are determined through the exercise of judgment. 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.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
| | |
|---|---|
| Machinery and equipment | 2 – 7 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | 3 – 10 years |
| Autos and trucks | 5 years |
| Buildings and land improvements | 5 – 39 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Lesser of useful life of lease term |
| Greenhouse - agricultural structure | 5 – 15 years |
| Land | Not depreciated |
The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed annually and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. Buildings, leaseholds and land improvements are amortized over the shorter of either the useful life or term of the lease. Gains or losses on disposal of an item are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the item and recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements, other than those below, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material effect on the Company’s present or future financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements. These improvements include enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, the CODM’s title and position, the measures the CODM uses to measure segment profit or loss, and how the CODM uses those measures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2024 and does not anticipate any impact on its Financial Statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.*This ASU requires public companies to annually disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, certain information about income taxes paid, and certain information disaggregated between federal, state, and/or domestic, and foreign. This guidance is effective for public business entities after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt this standard on January 1, 2025 and does not anticipate any impact to its Financial Statements.

Table of Contents 3. Fair Value Measurements
A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers all related factors of the asset by market participants in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
| ● | Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|---|---|
| ● | Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). |
| --- | --- |
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | As of June 30, 2024 | |||||||

Table of Contents Investments
The Akerna Corp. (“Akerna”) marketable security balance included in investments has Level 1 inputs. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a loss of $1 related to its investment in Akerna, which brought the carrying value of the investment to zero. This loss is included in unrealized loss on investment on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. There were no adjustments made to the Akerna investment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
The HERBL Inc. (“HERBL”) investment is recorded at cost and excluded from the schedule above. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company noted declining conditions in its investment in HERBL and performed impairment testing. The Company concluded that the balance of its investment was not recoverable due to HERBL entering into receivership in June 2023 and recorded an impairment of $6,400 on its investment in HERBL, bringing the balance of its investment to zero. These losses are included in unrealized loss on investment on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The balance was $0 as of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
See Note 6 — Investments for additional information about the Akerna and HERBL investments.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of the Company’s notes payable, which are recorded at amortized cost, approximates their fair value based upon market interest rates available to the Company for debt of similar risk and maturities, a Level 3 input. See Note 10 — Notes Payable for additional information. Additionally, the carrying amount of the Company’s loans receivable, net of expected credit losses, approximates their fair values. See Note 8 — Loans Receivable for additional information. There were no transfers between the levels of fair value hierarchy during each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
4. Inventories
The Company’s inventories consisted of the following:

During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized depreciation expense of $1,546 and $2,482, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized depreciation expense of $3,094 and $4,457, respectively. Depreciation expense is included in cost of goods sold and depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Massachusetts market continued to experience challenges marked by increased cultivation and supply, market saturation, and pricing pressure, prompting CAC to revise its financial forecast to align with the prevailing market conditions. The forecast results indicated continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset group, which resulted in the Company performing a test of its assets related to CAC as of June 30, 2024. The result of this test indicated that the fair value of this asset group was less than the carrying value, which resulted in the Company recording an impairment charge of $15,678 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This loss was allocated to the long-lived major assets of the group on a pro rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of the assets.
On February 15, 2023, the Company completed the sale and leaseback of its facility in White Haven, Pennsylvania (the “White Haven Facility”) to the buyer (the “Pennsylvania Transaction”). The Company received cash proceeds of $15,000 and derecognized the property, plant and equipment with a net carrying value of $6,599, resulting in a gain on sale of assets of $8,401. See Note 12 — Leases for additional information.
Assets Held for Sale
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, it was determined that the assets held for sale had a fair market value less costs to sell of zero. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $325 to bring these assets held for sale to fair market value less costs to sell. This loss is included in impairment loss and loss on disposal of assets in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and the assets are still held for sale as of June 30, 2024.

Table of Contents impairment, if any, and subsequently adjust for observable price changes of identical or similar investments of the same issuer. The Company intended to hold its investment in HERBL until HERBL executed its next equity financing. The Company had an arrangement with HERBL that, upon such equity financing, if the fair value of HERBL’s class B common shares was less than the initial cost, HERBL would issue additional shares to make up the difference. However, during June 2023, the Company determined that it was not probable that HERBL would issue additional shares to bring the Company’s investment up to its initial cost as HERBL entered into receivership in June 2023. Therefore, the Company recorded a loss of $6,400 on its investment in HERBL to adjust the balance to zero.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $1 from its investment in Akerna. This loss is included in unrealized loss on investment in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Little Beach Harvest Note
The balance of the loan receivable from Little Beach Harvest (the “Little Beach Harvest Note”) was subject to an interest rate of 9.0%. Interest income was $64 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and is included in interest income on the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive loss. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company determined that it may not be able to collect the full amount of its loan receivable from the Little Beach Harvest Note. As a result, the Company did not record any interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and reversed the interest income recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
On September 1, 2023, due to a strategic shift to focus on the Company’s core business, the Company divested its interests in its joint venture in Standard Farms New York LLC (“SFNY”) pursuant to a membership interest purchase agreement (“MIPA”) by and among SFNY Holdings Inc. (“SFNY Holdings”), SFNY, each wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, and CGSF Investments, LLC (“CGSF”), a wholly owned subsidiary of PowerFund Holdings II LLC (the “CGSF/SFNY Divestiture”). As a result, the Company wrote off the principal of the Little Beach Harvest Note as well as related accrued interest totaling $5,135 and the balance no longer exists.
Impairment
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether loans receivables are credit impaired by applying the guidance in ASC 326. A financial asset is considered “credit impaired” when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Credit impairment is based on observable data such as significant financial difficulty of the debtor and a breach of contract such as a default or being past due. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company did not record additional allowance for expected credit losses related to its remaining loans receivable.
Current expected credit loss (“CECL”) reserves are measured by the Company on a probability-weighted basis based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Our assessment includes a variety of factors, including underlying credit, relative maturity dates of the loans, economic considerations, as well as ongoing legal and other regulatory developments in the industry. The process includes consideration for the assumed recovery rate from underlying collateral, with adjustments for time value of money and estimated costs for obtaining and selling the collateral. Given the repayment profile and underlying terms of such loans, CECL reserves are generally estimated over the contractual term of the loan.

2024 Standard Farms Loan
On May 2, 2024, Standard Farms PA entered into a Secured Promissory Note with a third party experienced retailer and operator (the “Lender”) (the “2024 Standard Farms Loan”). Under the terms of the 2024 Standard Farms Loan, Standard Farms PA can borrow up to $10,500 from the Lender. Proceeds from the 2024 Standard Farms Loan will be used to construct dispensaries obtained via a permit issued from the Department of Health, Bureau of Medical Marijuana, of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “Commonwealth”). The Standard Farms PA permit will allow the construction and operation of up to three medical marijuana dispensaries in the Commonwealth (collectively, the “Retail Locations”). Proceeds from the 2024 Standard Farms Loan will also be utilized for the initial setup and operation of the Retail Locations.
The 2024 Standard Farms Loan will mature on December 31, 2027, and will initially bear interest at 20%.

Table of Contents On May 2, 2024, the Company drew $3,000 on the 2024 Standard Farms Loan and recognized a debt discount of $784. Of this amount, $662 was related to lender fees, and $122 represents above market interest, which is the difference between the market interest rate and the stated interest rate.
The $3,000 cash receipt was allocated first to the fair value of a bifurcated embedded derivative at $1,700, with the remainder allocated to the note balance. The embedded derivative comprises a contingent interest feature. The contingent interest feature applies an escalating interest rate to the 2024 Standard Farms Loan outstanding balance upon Standard Farms PA opening a Retail Location and completing the first commercial sale in the Commonwealth (“Location Opening Date”). At that time, the interest rate will increase to 30%, and then to 40% six months after the Location Opening Date that applies through maturity.
The Company can request the remaining $7,500 in three separate tranches based on achieving certain criteria set forth in the 2024 Standard Farms Loan agreement.
Because the capital is to fund the construction and operation of the new dispensaries, the 2024 Standard Farms Loan is secured by a first priority security interest in the retail assets of Standard Farms PA (the “Borrower Collateral”), and a second priority security interest in the equity interests of Standard Farms PA that are held by the Company’s subsidiary Baker (the “Baker Collateral”). Also on May 2, 2024, the Lender entered into a Consent, Collateral Release and Subordination Agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) with the Company’s existing creditors to subordinate the Lender’s interest in the Baker Collateral and release the existing creditors’ interest in the Borrower Collateral. The Lender’s security interest is further described in in a Security Agreement, dated May 2, 2024, by and among Standard Farms PA, the Lender and Baker Technologies, Inc. (the “Security Agreement” and, collectively with the Note and the Subordination Agreement, the “Dispensary Agreements”).
The 2024 Standard Farms Loan and the Security Agreement include usual and customary loan provisions including: affirmative and negative covenants, events of default, representations and warranties. In the case of an event of default under the 2024 Standard Farms Loan, Standard Farms PA may become obligated to pay a multiplied balance of up to four times the then-outstanding obligations under the 2024 Standard Farms Loan, all obligations under the 2024 Standard Farms Loan may be accelerated and all remedies may be exercised by Lender. All obligations under the 2024 Standard Farms Loan are guaranteed by the Company, which guarantee shall terminate if and when a first priority security interest in the properly held retail assets of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Standard Farms PA is activated. In order to provide collateral free from prior liens, under the terms of the loan documents, Lender will have a first-priority security interest in the equity interests of any such wholly-owned subsidiary that may be held by Standard Farms PA.

The Company is treated as a U.S. corporation under Section 7874 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) and is expected to be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax. However, the Company is expected, regardless of any application of Section 7874 of the IRC, to be treated as a Canadian resident Company for Canadian income tax purposes. Due to the organizational structure and multinational operations, the Company is subject to taxation in U.S. federal, state and local and Canadian jurisdictions.
As the Company operates in the cannabis industry, it is subject to the limitations of Section 280E of the IRC. This results in permanent differences for ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under Section 280E of the IRC for income tax purposes. Therefore, the effective tax rate can be highly variable and may not necessarily correlate with pre-tax income or loss.
During the current quarter, the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate was revised to include additional valuation allowance expected to be required as a result of current year operations. This revised rate also includes additional valuation allowance for the beginning of the year deferred tax assets that resulted from a change in judgement on the realizability of the beginning of the year deferred tax assets. The change in judgement resulted from changes in the underlying business and changes to the forecasted annual operations.
On February 15, 2023, the Company completed the Pennsylvania Transaction which generated ordinary and capital gains of $11,074. See Note 5 — Property, Plant and Equipment and Assets Held for Sale for further details. The Company estimates that approximately $6,814 of the gain from the sale will be offset by the net capital loss carryforward. Therefore, during 2023, the Company recognized a release of the valuation allowance related to the capital loss carryforward and the corresponding benefit of the release.
During June 2023, the Company determined its investment in HERBL was not recoverable. As a result, the Company recorded a loss of $6,400 to its HERBL investment, adjusting the balance to zero. This loss was treated as a capital loss, which will more likely than not be realized. See Note 6 — Investments for additional information.

Litigation
The Company has been named as a defendant in several legal actions and is subject to various risks and contingencies arising in the normal course of business. Management is of the opinion that the outcome of these uncertainties will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.
On February 2, 2021, the Haze Corp., Nevada (“Haze NV”) filed a complaint in Clark County, Nevada’s Eighth Judicial District Court against Brand Canna Growth Partners, Inc. (“BCGP”), Michael Orr, Santé Veritas Holdings, Inc. (“SVH”) and Santé Veritas Therapeutics Inc. (“SVT”). As explained below, Haze NV later amended its complaint to name a second plaintiff, Haze Corp., Ontario (“Haze Ontario,” and together with Haze NV, the “Plaintiffs”). SVH and SVT are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. In the operative complaint, Plaintiffs allege that Haze Ontario entered into a Finder’s Fee Agreement with BCGP in 2017 and under that agreement Haze Ontario is owed payments for acquisitions that it facilitated. Plaintiffs further allege that Haze Ontario assigned its rights to payment under the Finder’s Fee Agreement to Haze NV. Plaintiffs allege that BCGP is influenced and governed by SVH and SVT because they had the same principal, defendant Michael Orr, and SVH and SVT are liable for BCGP’s or Orr’s obligations under the Finders’ Fee Agreement. SVT and SVH moved for dismissal. On May 13, 2021, the court granted the motion without prejudice. On May 17, 2021, Haze NV moved for leave to amend its complaint, adding Haze Ontario as a plaintiff and again naming

(“TILT US” and, collectively with SVT, SVH and TILT, the “TILT Parties”) as defendants. On October 7, 2021, the motions to dismiss were denied without prejudice and the court ordered the parties to participate in limited jurisdictional discovery before entertaining renewed motions to dismiss. Upon the closing of the limited jurisdictional discovery period, the TILT Parties moved to dismiss on April 19, 2023. By order dated August 29, 2023, the court granted the TILT Parties’ motion to dismiss due to lack of personal jurisdiction. The Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on September 8, 2023. By order dated March 18, 2024, the Supreme Court of the State of Nevada dismissed the Plaintiffs’ appeal due to lack of appellate jurisdiction. On May 14, 2024, Plaintiffs moved to certify the courts dismissal as a final judgment pursuant to NRCP 54(b). By order dated July 10, 2024, the court denied the motion without prejudice.

Table of Contents Revenue
Revenue represents the amount the Company expects to receive for goods and services in its contracts with customers, net of discounts and sales taxes. The Company’s revenue is derived from the following:
Sale of Goods — Vaporization and Inhalation Devices:
Revenue from the wholesale sales of accessories is recognized when the Company transfers control and satisfies its performance obligations on wholesale sales of accessories. Revenue is recognized from product sales at a point in time following the transfer of control of such products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery, depending on the terms of sale with the customer.
Sale of Goods — Cannabis:
Revenue from the direct sale of goods to customers for a fixed price is recognized when the Company transfers control of the goods to the customer. The Company transfers control and satisfies its performance obligations on retail sales upon delivery and acceptance from the customer. For dispensary sales, this occurs at the point of sale at the dispensary. The Company satisfies its performance obligation on wholesale sales when goods are delivered to the customer.
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $26,581, down from $41,599 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, reflecting a year-over-year decrease of $15,018 or 36%. The decrease was mainly attributable to Jupiter which saw decreased revenue of $13,001 or 45% year-over-year, mainly driven by lower sales volume related to delays in shipping from a primary supplier and lower average price per unit in certain product lines as market prices have decreased from the prior period. Additionally, the cannabis division decreased revenue by $2,017 or 16% year-over-year, primarily driven by a decrease in sales volume.
Cost of Goods Sold, Gross Profit and Gross Margin Percentage
Cost of goods sold represents costs directly related to manufacturing and distribution of the Company’s products. Primary costs include raw materials, packaging, direct labor, overhead, shipping and handling, the depreciation of certain property, plant and equipment, and tariffs. Manufacturing overhead and related expenses include salaries, wages, employee benefits, utilities, maintenance, and property taxes. Cost of goods sold also includes inventory valuation adjustments.
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $22,322, down from $37,559 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 reflecting a year-over-year decrease of $15,237 or 41%, mainly attributable to the sales volume decline at Jupiter related to shipping delays from a primary supplier. In addition there were reductions in the average cost per unit at Jupiter, partially offsetting the impact of the average price decrease in certain product lines described above. The Cannabis division also decreased cost of goods sold largely due to a decrease in inventory adjustment expense from the prior year period wherein there was a $4,878 expense for the write down of the value of certain obsolete products and the downward adjustment of the valuation of other products to their net realizable value as the Company aligned product offerings with trends in customer demand.
Gross profit reflects revenue less production costs primarily consisting of labor, materials, rent and facilities, supplies, overhead, and amortization on production equipment, shipping, packaging and other expenses required to grow and manufacture cannabis products. Gross margin represents gross profit as a percentage of revenue.
The Company’s gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $4,259, up from $4,040 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, which reflects a year-over-year increase of $219 or 5%. Gross margin was 16% and 10% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increases in gross profit and gross margin were mainly driven by the absence of inventory adjustments related to obsolete inventory during the current period as described above.

Table of Contents Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses primarily consists of costs incurred at the Company’s corporate offices, share-based compensation, personnel costs including wages and employee benefits, professional service costs including accounting and legal expenses, rental costs associated with certain of the Company’s offices and facilities, insurance expenses, costs associated with advertising and marketing the Company’s products and other general and administrative expenses which support the Company’s business.
The following is a summary of the Company’s operating expenses derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:
| | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | ||||
| | 2024 | | 2023 | ||
| Wages and benefits | $ | 4,637 | | $ | 5,871 |
| General and administrative | | 3,323 | | | 4,529 |
| Sales and marketing | | 187 | | | 290 |
| Share-based compensation expense (benefit) | | 23 | | | (2,358) |
| Depreciation and amortization | | 3,862 | | | 4,712 |
| Impairment loss | | 15,728 | | | 4,947 |
| Total operating expenses | $ | 27,760 | | $ | 17,991 |
Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $27,760, an increase of $9,769 or 54% year-over-year from $17,991. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in non-cash impairment loss described below and share-based compensation expense which increased mainly due to the prior period forfeiture of equity awards by the Company’s former CEO which had resulted in a net benefit. Partially offsetting the foregoing, cost control efforts resulted in lower wages and benefits expense largely due to reduced headcount which decreased from 382 to 345 as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024 respectively and lower severance. In addition, general and administrative expense fell largely driven by a decrease in legal expenses related to litigation, a decrease in bad debt expense, lower logistics and distribution expenses related to lower sales volume, and cost reduction strategies throughout the Company.
Impairment Losses
Impairment losses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $15,728, an increase of $10,781 or 218% year-over-year from $4,947 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. During the current period, the Massachusetts market continued to experience challenges marked by increased cultivation and supply, market saturation, and pricing pressure, prompting CAC to revise its financial forecast to align with the prevailing market conditions. Consequently, a test of CAC assets was performed which indicated the fair value of this asset group was less than the carrying value, resulting in an impairment charge of $15,678 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. During the prior period, the Company refocused its Massachusetts retail operations on core assets, reducing the operating capacity of certain of its dispensaries triggering an impairment analysis which resulted in an impairment of fixed assets, right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and leasehold improvements of $3,994. Additionally, there was a $737 impairment expense related to the write-down of a management contract and a $185 impairment expense driven by the finding that certain assets held for sale had a carrying value in excess of their fair market value.

Table of Contents Total Other Expense
The following is a summary of the Company’s total other expense derived from the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:
| | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | ||||
| | 2024 | **** | 2023 | ||
| Interest income | $ | 1 | | $ | (64) |
| Other income | | 510 | | | 3 |
| Unrealized loss on investment | | - | | | (6,400) |
| Loan receivable losses | | - | | | (5,200) |
| Loss on foreign currency exchange | | - | | | (1) |
| Interest expense | | (6,792) | | | (5,466) |
| Total other expense | $ | (6,281) | | $ | (17,128) |
Other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $6,281, a decrease of $10,847 from other expense of $17,128 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily driven by the decrease in unrealized loss on investment as the Company no longer has any investments. Further contributing to the decrease in other expense, there were no loan receivable losses during the period based on the Company’s CECL analysis of loans outstanding and other income increased driven mainly by one-time credits and reimbursements from certain vendors. Partially offsetting the foregoing, interest expense increased mainly due to higher interest rates on the Company’s debt including the default interest rate on the 2023 Refinanced Notes and the 2023 New Notes. However, the Note Holders have not provided the requisite notice of an event of default under these notes and the Company is currently negotiating a waiver and forbearance agreement with the Note Holders to address such non-compliance. See Note 10 – Notes Payable for further details.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
As the Company operates in the cannabis industry, it is subject to the limits of Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to the cost of production. As such, the effective tax rate can be highly variable and may not correlate to pre-tax income or loss.
Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $6,165, an increase of $8,907 from income tax benefit of $2,742 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. See Note 15 — Income Taxes for further details.
Net Loss Attributable to TILT
The Company recorded net loss of $35,947 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net loss of $26,895 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, for an increase in net loss of $9,052 primarily driven by the $9,769 increase in operating expense which was mainly due to the increase in non-cash impairment loss and the $8,907 increase in income tax expense, partially offset by the $10,847 decrease in other expense.

Revenue
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $64,085, down from $83,863 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, reflecting a year-over-year decrease of $19,778 or 24%. The decrease was mainly attributable to Jupiter which decreased revenue by $15,189 or 26% year-over-year, mainly driven by lower sales volume related to delays in shipping from a primary supplier and lower average price per unit in certain product lines as market prices have decreased from the prior period. In addition, revenue in the cannabis division decreased by $4,589 or 18% year-over-year, primarily driven by a decrease in sales volume and price compression in the Massachusetts market.
Cost of Goods Sold, Gross Profit and Gross Margin Percentage
Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $53,109, down from $71,027 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 reflecting a year-over-year decrease of $17,918 or 25%, mainly attributable to the sales volume decline at Jupiter related to shipping delays from a primary supplier and reductions in the average cost per unit, which partially offset the impact of average price decrease in certain product lines described above. The cannabis division also decreased cost of goods sold largely due to a decrease in expenses related to the inventory adjustments for excess and obsolete products, a decrease in sales volume and a one-time credit of $821 for certain prior community impact fees which are no longer assessed.
The Company’s gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $10,976, down from $12,836 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which reflects a year-over-year decrease of $1,860 or 14%. The decrease in gross profit was mainly driven by decreased revenue at Jupiter as described above, partially offset by increased gross profit from the cannabis division driven primarily by the decrease in inventory adjustments for excess and obsolete products and by growth and improved capacity utilization in Ohio operations. Gross margin was 17% and 15% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The expansion of gross margin was primarily driven by the decrease in inventory adjustment expenses for excess and obsolete products.

| Impairment loss | | 15,740 | | | 5,135 |
| Total operating expenses | $ | 39,866 | | $ | 34,409 |
Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $39,866, an increase of $5,457 or 16% year-over-year from $34,409. The increase was primarily due to the increase in impairment loss described below and share-based compensation expense which increased mainly due to the prior period forfeiture of equity awards by the Company’s former CEO which had resulted in a net benefit. Partially offsetting the foregoing, cost control efforts throughout the Company resulted in lower general and administrative expense mainly through decreased use of 3^rd^ party service providers and lower wages and benefits expense largely due to reduced headcount and lower severance. Further contributing to the decrease in general and administrative expense there were decreases in bad debt, in legal expenses related to litigation and in one-time expenses related to sale-leaseback transactions. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense decreased mainly related to the impairment of certain assets in the prior year.
Impairment Losses
Impairment losses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $15,740, an increase of $10,605 or 207% year-over-year from $5,135 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. During the current period, the Massachusetts market continued to experience challenges marked by increased cultivation and supply, market saturation, and pricing pressure, prompting CAC to revise its financial forecast to align with the prevailing market conditions. Consequently, a test of CAC assets was performed which indicated the fair value of this asset group was less than the carrying value resulting in an impairment charge of $15,678 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The impairment loss in the prior period was mainly driven by the impairment of certain fixed assets, ROU assets and leasehold improvements related to the reduction in operating capacity of certain Massachusetts retail operations which resulted in an expense of $3,994, the $737 impairment expense related to the write-down of a management contract and the $325 write-down of certain assets held for sale to their fair market value.

Other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $12,123, a decrease of $923 from other expense of $13,046 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily driven by the decrease in unrealized loss on investments as the Company no longer has any investments, the absence of loan receivable losses during the period and the increase in other income driven mainly by one-time credits and reimbursements from certain vendors. Partially offsetting the foregoing, there was a decrease in the gain on sale of assets as there were no asset sales during the period as compared to the prior year period sale-leaseback of the Company’s White Haven facility described in Note 5 – Property, Plant and Equipment and there was an increase in interest expense mainly due to higher interest rates on the Company’s debt including the default interest rate on the 2023 Refinanced Notes and the 2023 New Notes. However, the Note Holders have not provided the requisite notice of an event of default under these notes and the Company is currently negotiating a waiver and forbearance agreement with the Note Holders to address such non-compliance. See Note 10 – Notes Payable for further details.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $4,585, an increase of $6,001 from income tax benefit of $1,416 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. See Note 15 — Income Taxes for further details.
Net Loss Attributable to TILT
The Company recorded net loss of $45,598 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net loss of $31,770 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, for an increase in net loss of $13,828 primarily driven by the $6,001 increase in income tax expense, the $5,457 increase in operating expense which was mainly driven by the increase in non-cash impairment loss, and the $1,860 decrease in gross profit, partially offset by the $923 decrease in other expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company closely monitors and manages its capital resources to assess the liquidity required to fund fixed asset capital expenditures and operations.

Table of Contents The Company has experienced operating losses since its inception and may continue to incur losses in the development of its business. The Company incurred a comprehensive loss of $45,606 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and has an accumulated deficit of $1,071,685 as of June 30, 2024. Additionally, as of June 30, 2024, the Company had negative working capital of $34,962 compared to negative working capital of $19,798 as of December 31, 2023. The negative working capital is related to certain notes payable becoming due within the next 12 months including the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), the employee retention credit note, and obligation under the 2023 Refinanced Notes and 2023 New Notes. See Note 10 — Notes Payable for additional information.
On May 2, 2024, Standard Farms, LLC (“Standard Farms PA”) entered into a Secured Promissory Note with a third party experienced retailer and operator (the “Lender”) for borrowings up to $10,500 (the “2024 Standard Farms Loan”). Proceeds from the 2024 Standard Farms Loan will be used to construct dispensaries obtained via a permit issued from the Department of Health, Bureau of Medical Marijuana, of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “Commonwealth”). The Standard Farms PA permit will allow the construction and operation of up to three medical marijuana dispensaries in the Commonwealth (collectively, the “Retail Locations”). Proceeds from the 2024 Standard Farms Loan will also be utilized for the initial setup and operation of the Retail Locations. The 2024 Standard Farms Loan will mature on December 31, 2027, and will initially bear interest at 20%. The interest rate will automatically increase to 30% upon Standard Farm PA’s opening a Retail Location and completing a first commercial sale in the Commonwealth (“Location Opening Date”). On May 2, 2024, the Company drew $3,000 in proceeds on the 2024 Standard Farms Loan, $1,700 of which is allocated to a contingent interest derivative, and recognized a debt discount of $784. See Note 10 — Notes Payable for additional information.
On February 15, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Company and its subsidiaries, Jimmy Jang, L.P. (“JJ LP”), Baker Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “Baker”), Commonwealth Alternative Care (“CAC”), and Jupiter Research LLC (“Jupiter”) (collectively, the “Subsidiary Borrowers”) entered into a first amendment (the “NPA Amendment”) to its existing junior secured note purchase agreement (the “2019 Junior Notes NPA”) with Jordan Geotas, as the noteholder representative (the “Noteholder Representative”) on behalf of the noteholders under the 2019 Junior Notes NPA (the “Note Holders”) and refinanced $38,000 in aggregate principal amount of secured promissory notes issued originally under the 2019 Junior Notes NPA (the “2023 Refinanced Notes”).
Pursuant to the NPA Amendment, the Subsidiary Borrowers also issued by way of private placement secured promissory notes (the “2023 New Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $8,260 to the Note Holders with a maturity date of February 15, 2027. The consideration for the 2023 New Notes was paid by an offset of an existing unsecured obligation owed by the Subsidiary Borrowers to the Note Holders. See Note 10 — Notes Payable for additional information.
On March 13, 2023, the Company, through its subsidiary Jupiter, entered into an amendment to its existing $10,000 Revolving Facility to increase the amount available under the Revolving Facility to $12,500 and extend the maturity date to July 21, 2024. The Revolving Facility bears interest at the prime rate plus 3%.
On May 15, 2023, the Company and its subsidiaries issued senior secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $4,500 (the “2023 Bridge Notes”). The 2023 Bridge Notes provided gross cash proceeds of $4,000 with an original issue discount of $500 and require monthly payments of $750 which started July 1, 2023. The 2023 Bridge Notes bore interest at the greater of 16% or the prime rate plus 8.5%, payable monthly, with a maturity date of December 1, 2023.
The Company’s operating plans for the next 12 months include (i) increasing revenue growth from the sale of existing products and the introduction of new products across all operating segments; (ii) reducing production and operational costs as a result of efficiencies in cannabis operations; (iii) reducing supply chain costs; (iv) reducing and delaying overhead and other certain expenditures; (v) obtaining other financings as necessary; and (vi) deferring principal and interest payments on the 2023 Refinanced Notes.
The Company believes that successfully implementing these operating plans will help to mitigate any substantial doubt raised by our historical operating results and satisfy our estimated liquidity needs for the 12 months following the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. However, during the second quarter of 2023, a primary
All dollar amounts expressed in thousands, except per share amounts

Table of Contents supplier significantly changed the payment terms of the Company’s trade payable. This was an unexpected event impacting short-term liquidity, therefore, the Company secured additional financing through the issuance of the 2023 Bridge Notes to satisfy the transition of the new payment terms and provide working capital for the business. The issuance of the 2023 Bridge Notes required the Company to have to obtain a waiver of the financial covenant defaults expected to occur for the 2023 Refinanced Notes and 2023 New Notes. As a result of the waiver, the Company had to pay default interest rates on its 2023 Refinanced Notes and 2023 New Notes, which resulted in an increase from 16.5% as of March 31, 2023 to 25.0% as of June 30, 2023. On October 2, 2023, the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers entered into the Limited Waiver and Continued Forbearance Agreement (the “October Forbearance Agreement”) with the Noteholder Representative on behalf of the Note Holders under the 2019 Junior Notes NPA. The October Forbearance Agreement reduced the interest rate on the 2023 Refinanced Notes to 17.0% as of September 30, 2023.
However, as of June 30, 2024, the Company used a default rate of 26.0% to accrue interest on the 2023 Refinanced Notes due to noncompliance with financial covenants. The 26.0% interest rate represents the prime rate of 8.5% plus 8.5%, the 8% default interest rate, and the 1% annual increase pursuant to the NPA Amendment, as the principal balance was more than $30,000 as of the first anniversary of the Effective Date. The 2023 New Notes remain at the default interest rate of 25.0%.
The interest payments required under these rates will constrain the Company’s liquidity while these rates remain in effect. While, as of the date of this filing, the Company is not in compliance with certain payment obligations and covenants under the 2023 Refinanced Notes and the 2023 New Notes, the Note Holders have not provided the requisite notice of an event of default under these notes. The Company is currently negotiating a waiver and forbearance agreement with the Note Holders to address such non-compliance. The Company can provide no assurance that the parties will reach a mutually agreeable resolution. See Note 10 — Notes Payable for additional information.
The Company cannot predict with certainty the outcome of its actions to generate liquidity as discussed above, including the availability of additional financing as necessary, or whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity as currently planned. Therefore, management has concluded there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months after the date of this filing. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $2,137 as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $440 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, mainly driven by the decrease in revenue and reclassification of certain lease payments from financing activities to operating activities. |

| ● | Investing activities: ($415). The cash flow from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $12,297 from cash provided by investing activities of $11,882 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was mainly related to the 2023 proceeds from the Pennsylvania Transaction described in Note 12 — Leases, whereas there were no such sale-leaseback transactions during the current year period. |

| ● | Financing activities: $1,465. The cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased $13,169 as compared to cash used in financing activities of ($11,704) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in cash provided was mainly driven by a decrease in repayments on notes payable compared to the prior period wherein the Company made repayments related to the retiring of the senior secured promissory notes issued on November 1, 2019 and the refinancing that resulted in the 2023 Refinanced Notes.

Table of Contents Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Interim Chief Financial Officer (“ Interim CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as the Company’s controls and procedures are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the risk related to controls and procedures.
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as of June 30, 2024, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the CEO and Interim CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation of the Company’s internal control performed during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in the status of the legal proceedings to those previously disclosed in Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” of the Form 10-K, Item 1. Refer to Note 17 — Commitments and Contingencies for additional information on the Company’s legal proceedings.
On February 2, 2021, the Haze Corp., Nevada (“Haze NV”) filed a complaint in Clark County, Nevada’s Eighth Judicial District Court against Brand Canna Growth Partners, Inc. (“BCGP”), Michael Orr, Santé Veritas Holdings, Inc. (“SVH”) and Santé Veritas Therapeutics Inc. (“SVT”). As explained below, Haze NV later amended its complaint to name a second plaintiff, Haze Corp., Ontario (“Haze Ontario,” and together with Haze NV, the “Plaintiffs”). SVH and SVT are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. In the operative complaint, Plaintiffs allege that Haze Ontario entered into a Finder’s Fee Agreement with BCGP in 2017 and under that agreement Haze Ontario is owed payments for acquisitions that it facilitated. Plaintiffs further allege that Haze Ontario assigned its rights to payment under the Finder’s Fee Agreement to Haze NV. Plaintiffs allege that BCGP is influenced and governed by SVH and SVT because they had the same principal, defendant Michael Orr, and SVH and SVT are liable for BCGP’s or Orr’s obligations under the Finders’ Fee Agreement. SVT and SVH moved for dismissal. On May 13, 2021, the court granted the motion without prejudice. On May 17, 2021, Haze NV moved for leave to amend its complaint, adding Haze Ontario as a plaintiff and again naming SVT and SVH as defendants. That motion to amend was granted by the court on June 29, 2021. SVT and SVH again moved to dismiss on July 23, 2021. On August 10, 2021, Plaintiffs again moved to amend, seeking to add TILT Holdings Inc. (“TILT”) and TILT Holdings US, Inc. (“TILT US” and, collectively with SVT, SVH and TILT, the “TILT Parties”) as defendants. On October 7, 2021, the motions to dismiss were denied without prejudice and the court ordered the parties to participate in limited jurisdictional discovery before entertaining renewed motions to dismiss. Upon the closing of the limited jurisdictional discovery period, the TILT Parties moved to dismiss on April 19, 2023. By order dated August 29, 2023, the court granted the TILT Parties’ motion to dismiss due to lack of personal jurisdiction. The Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on September 8, 2023. By order dated March 18, 2024, the Supreme Court of the State of Nevada dismissed the Plaintiffs’ appeal due to lack of appellate jurisdiction. On May 14, 2024, Plaintiffs moved to certify the courts dismissal as a final judgment pursuant to NRCP 54(b). By order dated July 10, 2024, the court denied the motion without prejudice.

WHEREAS, pursuant to recent legislation enacted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, independent grower/processors have been awarded the opportunity to open up to three (3) retail medical marijuana dispensary locations;
WHEREAS, the construction and initial setup of retail medical marijuana dispensaries requires a significant initial outlay of immediately available funds;
WHEREAS, retail medical marijuana dispensaries typically do not become cash-flow positive for some time after their initial opening, and accordingly additional capital is often required after the construction and initial setup; and
WHEREAS, the Borrower (as defined below) wishes to open, build out and operate retail medical marijuana dispensaries but requires a loan from the Lender in order to effect the foregoing.
THEREFORE, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, STANDARD FARMS LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [***] (the “Lender”), on December 31, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”) the amount of $3,000,000 as advanced on the date hereof (the “Initial Advance”), as the same may be increased by the parties in
connection with subsequent Advances (as defined below) funded by the Lender to the Borrower under this secured promissory note (this “Note”), together with simple interest at an annual rate or rates provided herein, with interest accruing on the principal amount of each Advance from and after the date of such Advance (subject to increase as set forth in Section 2 below). The sum of all Advances plus accrued interest thereon is hereinafter referred to as the “Note Balance.” The Borrower further acknowledges that in certain circumstances it may be obligated to pay the Multiplied Balance (as defined below) rather than the Note Balance.
| 1. | Funding. |

(a)At any time and from time to time prior to sixty (60) days following the Location Opening Date (as defined below), the Borrower may request advances in addition to the Initial Advance from the Lender (each such additional advance, a “Working Capital Advance”), up to a maximum principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Working Capital Ceiling”). Working Capital Advances shall only be used by the Borrower for the purpose of paying or reimbursing reasonable expenses incurred or to be incurred in connection with the build-out of the Retail Locations (as defined below) by the Loan Parties (as defined below) and other matters directly related to achievement of the conditions precedent to the DOH’s issuance of the Dispensary Permit (as defined below) to the Loan Parties (the “Working Capital Uses”), by submitting a written request to the Lender (substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule I, each, a “Borrowing Request”) setting forth (i) the Working Capital Advance requested by the Borrower and (ii) a description of the proposed Working Capital Uses of such funds, in each case not to exceed, in the aggregate, the Working Capital Ceiling. The Lender shall fund each Working Capital Advance for Working Capital Uses within ten (10) business days of the Lender’s receipt of the related Borrowing Request.
(b)In order to provide sufficient working capital for the operation of the Retail Location(s) and in protection of the Collateral used as security for the Note Balance, the Borrower acknowledges its obligation to pursue the Permit Transfer (as defined in the Security Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Security Agreement. If each of the Permit Transfer and the Location Opening Date occur prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower may submit a Borrowing Request for, and the Lender shall be obligated to make, an additional one-time advance in an amount not to exceed $3,000,000 (the “Setup Advance”). So long as the foregoing conditions have been satisfied, the Lender shall fund the Setup Advance within ten (10) business days of the Lender’s receipt of the related Borrowing Request. In the event the Permit Transfer does not occur, at any time prior to the Maturity Date the Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, fund all or any portion of the Setup Advance in its sole discretion.
(c)Subject to the occurrence of, and not earlier than ten (10) business days after, the Location Opening Date (provided the Location Opening Date occurs prior to the Maturity Date), the Borrower may request additional advances from the Lender up to a maximum principal amount of $2,500,000 (each such additional advance, a “Discretionary Advance” and, collectively with the Initial Advance, the Working Capital Advances and the Setup Advance, the “Advances”), such that the aggregate principal Note Balance after giving effect to all Advances does not exceed $10,500,000, by submitting a corresponding Borrowing Request to the Lender. The Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, fund any Discretionary Advance in its sole discretion.
2
(d)Any Borrowing Requests that are not either (i) for Working Capital Uses pursuant to Section 1(a) or (ii) in respect of the Setup Advance pursuant to Section 1(b) (subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein) may be accepted or rejected in the Lender’s sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lender shall not be obligated to make any Advances upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default. For purposes of this Note, (i) “DOH” means the Department of Health, Bureau of Medical Marijuana, of the Commonwealth (as defined below), (ii) “Dispensary Permit” means a license to open and operate up to three (3) medical marijuana dispensaries in the Commonwealth (collectively, the “Retail Locations”), and (iii) “Location Opening Date” means the date on which the Dispensary Permit has been issued in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and at least one (1) Retail Location both (A) is open for business and (B) has made at least one (1) commercial sale.
| 2. | Interest; Multiplied Balance. |
|---|
(a)Simple interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of each Advance from the date such Advance has been made until paid in full in accordance with the terms of this Note, in the following manner:
(i) During the period beginning on the date of the Initial Advance through and including the Location Opening Date (the “First Period”), at twenty percent (20%);
(ii)During the six (6)-month period immediately following the First Period (the “Second Period”), at thirty percent (30%); and
(ii)During the period immediately following the Second Period through and including the Maturity Date, at forty percent (40%).
The interest rate shall automatically, and without further action by either the Borrower or the Lender, increase to the lesser of (i) twenty percent (20%) plus the otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in clause (a) of this Section 2, and (ii) the maximum default interest rate permitted under applicable law (the “Default Interest Rate”) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below) until such time as this Note has been repaid in full; provided, however, that the Default Interest Rate shall not apply upon the occurrence of an Event of Default due to termination of any Related Contract (as defined below) for any reason other than an uncured breach thereof by the Borrower or its affiliates, including, without limitation, NewCo (as defined below). Interest shall be calculated based on a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
(b)Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (i) pursuant to Section 4(a) or any of Sections 4(e)–(j) of this Note, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the Lender four hundred percent (400%) of the then-current Note Balance and (ii) pursuant to any of Sections 4(b)–(d) of this Note, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the Lender two hundred percent (200%) of the then-current Note Balance (as applicable, the “Multiplied Balance”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Multiplied Balance shall not be payable unless and until the Lender has given written notice to the Borrower of such Event of Default and the Borrower has had at least thirty (30) days to cure any curable default; provided that the Borrower shall be limited to one (1) such
3
notice and cure period per each twelve (12)-month period while this Note remains outstanding, and provided, further, that no such notice and cure period shall be applicable to Events of Default pursuant to any of Sections 4(a)–(d) of this Note. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Note to the contrary, the Multiplied Balance shall not be payable in the case of any Event of Default that (A) is caused by the Lender’s or its affiliate’s actions or inactions in violation of applicable law or in breach of this Note, the Security Agreement (as defined below) or a Related Contract, or (B) arises from the Borrower being unable to obtain the Dispensary Permit despite using its best efforts (but without any attendant obligation to divest non-monetary assets) to do so and its compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.
(c)Taking into account the stated intention of the parties set forth herein, the Lender does not intend to charge, and the Borrower shall not be required to pay, any interest or other fees or charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law; any payments in excess of such maximum shall be refunded to the Borrower or credited to reduce principal hereunder.
| 3. | Payments; Prepayments; No Commitment Fee. |
|---|
(a)This Note shall be immediately due and payable upon the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date, in which case the Borrower shall pay the Note Balance to the Lender, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default other than pursuant to Section 4(k), in which case (subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2(b)) the Borrower shall pay the Multiplied Balance to the Lender and (iii) the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 4(k), in which case the Borrower shall pay the Note Balance to the Lender. All cash payments on account of the principal and interest (including, without limitation, in respect of the Multiplied Balance), shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America at the Lender’s address set forth on the signature page hereto, or such other place as the Lender may from time to time designate in writing to the Borrower.

4
(c)The making by any Loan Party of an assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

(f)If any representation or warranty made by the Borrower in this Note or any Related Agreement shall at any time be breached, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect, or if the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall materially fail to keep, observe or perform any of the terms, covenants, representations or warranties contained in this Note or any Related Contract or any other document given in connection with this Note or any Related Contract;
(g)If either the (i) permit previously issued to the Borrower by the DOH to function as a grower/processor of cannabis and cannabis products in the Commonwealth (the “Existing Permit”) or (ii) Dispensary Permit (once issued) is revoked, canceled, or otherwise impaired by the DOH, unless the same is caused by the Lender’s or its affiliate’s actions or inactions in violation of applicable law or in breach of this Note, the Security Agreement or a Related Contract;
(h)If any Loan Party is the subject of an action for eviction from any of the Retail Locations;
(i)If any Loan Party permits any action to occur which impairs the Lender’s security interest under the Security Agreement or any Related Contract;

(k)The exercise of rights and remedies by the Senior Lenders following an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreements (as defined below)) under the terms and conditions of either (i) that certain Secured Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2019, by and among TILT Holdings Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of British Columbia (“TILT”), Jimmy Jang, L.P.

New Lender (i) shall promptly execute and/or deliver to an Existing Creditor such UCC financing statement amendments or other documents as that Existing Creditor shall reasonably request to evidence or give notice of the priority of that Existing Creditor’s Liens in the PA Equity and (ii) shall be deemed to have authorized that Existing Creditor to file any and all UCC financing statement amendments to evidence or give notice of the priority of the Existing Creditor’s Liens in the PA Equity as and if required by the Existing Creditor in respect of such Liens.

5
and in the name of New Lender or otherwise, to execute and deliver any document or instrument which New Lender may be required to deliver pursuant to this Section 4.
**5.**Proceedings and Enforcement Actions.
(a)From and after delivery to New Lender of an Existing Creditor Default Notice (but only so long as the Event of Default giving rise to such Existing Creditor Default Notice has not been waived or cured), any payment (whether made in cash, securities or other property) received by New Lender which, but for the terms hereof, otherwise would be payable or deliverable out of, from the proceeds of, in lieu of, or in respect of the PA Equity, shall be paid or delivered directly first, to Smoore until the Smoore Indebtedness is satisfied and then to the Noteholder Representative until the Noteholder Indebtedness is satisfied (to be held and/or applied by the Existing Creditors to the repayment of any and all then outstanding Existing Creditor Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Existing Creditor Loan Documents until all Existing Creditor Indebtedness is Paid in Full), and New Lender irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs all debtors, debtors-in–possession, receivers, trustees, liquidators, custodians, conservators and others having authority in the premises to effect all such payments and deliveries, and, subject to the provisions hereof, New Lender also irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs each Existing Creditor to demand, sue for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution.
(b)New Lender agrees to execute and deliver to each other Creditor or its representative all such further instruments confirming the authorization referred to in the foregoing clause (a).
(c)In the event of a Proceeding, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of Creditors in the PA Equity even if all or part of the Liens securing the Existing Creditor Indebtedness are subordinated, set aside, avoided or disallowed in connection with any such Proceeding.
(d)Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Creditor shall be deemed to have waived or relinquished any rights that it may have with respect to any claims or otherwise in connection with any Proceeding. For purposes of clarification, each Creditor retains its rights, to the extent such Creditor’s actions are at all times consistent with and in compliance with this Agreement, to otherwise act in any Proceeding in its capacity as a holder of Indebtedness to the fullest extent provided by law.
(e)Until the Existing Creditor Loan Documents have been terminated in accordance with their terms, New Lender shall not, without the prior written consent of the Existing Creditors, take any Enforcement Action with respect to Baker’s right, title and interest in the PA Equity and the Existing Creditors shall have the exclusive right to commence and maintain any such Enforcement Action or otherwise enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set off, recoupment and the right to credit bid their debt) and to make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to such PA Equity. In commencing or maintaining any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercising rights and remedies with respect to such PA Equity, the Existing Creditors may enforce the provisions of the Existing Creditor Loan Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the
6
exercise of their sole discretion in compliance with any applicable law and without consultation with any other Creditor and regardless of whether any such exercise is adverse to the interest of any other Creditor. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by the Existing Creditors, or either of them, to sell or otherwise dispose of such PA Equity upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction. Additionally, and for the avoidance of doubt, until the Existing Loan Documents have been terminated in accordance with their terms New Lender hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not:
(1)take any action adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the PA Equity securing the Existing Creditor Indebtedness or the rights of the Existing Creditors as provided herein;
(2)make any filings (other than statements of interest) or file any responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading in any Proceeding, in each case, which are inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement;
(3)vote on any plan of reorganization, arrangement, compromise or liquidation, make other filings, make any arguments and motions, in each case, which are inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement;
(4)credit bid for the PA Equity at any public, private or judicial foreclosure upon the PA Equity initiated by an Existing Creditor, or any sale of the PA Equity during a Proceeding; or bid for or purchase the PA Equity at any public, private or judicial foreclosure upon the PA Equity initiated by an Existing Creditor, or any sale of the PA Equity during a Proceeding where such bid or purchase would not result in Payment in Full of the Existing Creditor Indebtedness; and
(5)have (and hereby agrees to waive) any and all rights it may have as a junior lien creditor (including junior lien rights to assert any marshaling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right) or otherwise to object to the manner in which an Existing Creditor seeks to enforce or collect any part of the Existing Creditor Indebtedness, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of an Existing Creditor is adverse to the interest of New Lender, provided nothing herein will prevent any New Lender from seeking adequate protection payments in any Proceeding to the extent an Existing Creditor is also being offered adequate protection payments.
(f)Each Creditor acknowledges and agrees that:
(1)the grants of Liens pursuant to the Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens; and
(2)because of, among other things, their differing rights in the assets of Obligors, the New Lender Indebtedness, the Smoore Indebtedness and the Noteholder Indebtedness each are fundamentally different and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in any Proceeding.
7
(g)The Parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement is a “subordination agreement” under section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, which will be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to any Obligor will include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in a Proceeding.
**6.**Incorrect Payments. If any payment (whether made in cash, securities or other property) not expressly permitted under this Agreement is received by New Lender on account of Indebtedness before New Lender is entitled to such payment under the terms of this Agreement, such payment shall be held in trust by New Lender first for the benefit of the Existing Creditors and shall immediately be paid over first, to Smoore until the Smoore Indebtedness is satisfied and then to the Noteholder Representative until the Noteholder Indebtedness is satisfied, or either of their designated representatives, for application to the payment of the applicable Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
**7.**Conflict. In the event of any conflict between any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement and any term, covenant or condition of any of the Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern.
**8.**Sale, Transfer. New Lender shall not sell, assign, dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations in respect of the New Lender Indebtedness unless, prior to the consummation of any such action, any such transferee or assignee, as a condition to acquiring an interest in the New Lender Indebtedness shall agree to be bound hereby, in form satisfactory to the Existing Creditors. The Existing Creditors shall not sell, assign, dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of their respective rights and obligations in respect of the Existing Creditor Indebtedness unless, prior to the consummation of any such action, any such transferee or assignee, as a condition to acquiring an interest in the Existing Creditor Indebtedness shall agree to be bound hereby, in form satisfactory to New Lender. Notwithstanding the failure to satisfy the foregoing conditions, such transfer shall be valid, and the subordination effected hereby shall survive any sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the applicable Indebtedness, and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Creditor. Each Creditor, upon the request of another Creditor and at the expense of Borrower, shall reasonably cooperate and promptly execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things as such Creditor may reasonably request in order to affect fully the purposes of this Section.
**9.**Relationship with Existing Intercreditor Agreements. Nothing herein shall amend or modify any provision of the Existing Intercreditor Agreements or any documents evidencing the Existing Creditor Indebtedness and New Lender and the Existing Creditors acknowledge and agree that the relative priorities of the Existing Creditors’ Liens, encumbrances and claims in and to the Collateral, as such exist among the Existing Creditors, will be set forth in the Existing Intercreditor Agreements.
**10.**Continued Effectiveness of this Agreement; Modifications.
(a)The terms of this Agreement, the subordination effected hereby, and the rights and the obligations of New Lender and the Existing Creditors arising hereunder, shall not
8
be affected, modified or impaired in any manner or to any extent by: (i) any amendment or modification of or supplement to the Documents (including any increase in the amount thereof or any Permitted Refinancing); (ii) the validity or enforceability of any of such documents; (iii) any exercise or non- exercise of any right, power or remedy under or in respect of the applicable Indebtedness or any of the instruments or documents referred to in clause (i) above; or (iv) the commencement of any Proceeding in respect of any Obligor.
(b)Except as expressly provided in Section 5, each Creditor may at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to any other Creditor, without incurring liability to any other Creditor and without impairing or releasing the obligations of any other Creditor under this Agreement, change the manner or place of payment or extend the time of payment of or renew or alter any Indebtedness, or amend, restate, supplement, or otherwise modify in any manner any Document.
(c)Each Creditor waives any and all rights it may have to require any other Creditor to marshal assets, to exercise rights or remedies in a particular manner, or to forbear from exercising such rights and remedies in any particular manner or order. Each Creditor hereby waives all notice of the acceptance by the other Creditors of the subordination and other provisions of this Agreement, and each Creditor expressly consents to reliance by each other Creditor upon the subordination and other agreements as herein provided.

All terms defined in the Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”) and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the UCC.
2.Joinder of Subsidiary. In order to provide collateral free from the operational risks of and liens arising out of the Borrower’s other activities, the Borrower acknowledges its obligation to seek approval from the DOH at the earliest practical opportunity to form a wholly-owned subsidiary (“NewCo”) and transfer the Dispensary Permit to NewCo in accordance with Section 6(b) of this Agreement (such terms and conditions including, without limitation, that the forgoing formation and transfer shall be consummated only in accordance with the Cannabis Laws and with all applicable regulatory approvals).

Further, the parties hereto understand and acknowledge that certain Cannabis Laws may prohibit or limit the ability of the Lender to take a security interest in or foreclose on any Collateral subject to Cannabis Laws and/or the Cannabis Licenses, and the parties hereto hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Collateral will be pledged hereunder or foreclosed on by the Lender except in accordance with all applicable Cannabis Laws and Cannabis Licenses (including without limitation filing of notices with, and obtaining pre- or post-transaction approval of, all applicable governmental authorities).
4.Security Interest in the Collateral. To secure the prompt payment and performance of the Borrower’s obligations under the Note (collectively, the “Obligations”), each Security Party hereby grants to the Lender a continuing first priority security interest (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) in and to and an encumbrance on all of its Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located.
5.Perfection of Security Interest. Each Security Party shall take all action that may be reasonably necessary or desirable in order to maintain at all times the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of the Lender’s security interest in and encumbrance on the Collateral or to enable the Lender to protect, exercise or enforce its rights hereunder and in the Collateral, including, but not limited to (i) immediately discharging all encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances; (ii) delivering to the Lender, endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of assignment as the Lender may specify, and stamping or marking, in such manner as the Lender may specify, any and all chattel paper, instruments, letters of credit and advices thereof and documents evidencing or forming a part of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any certificates representing or evidencing the Pledged Interests; (iii) entering into warehousing,

Each Security Party hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements or continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements or any similar document in any applicable jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Lender may determine are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to the Lender for its benefit. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or a description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Lender may determine is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Lender for its benefit, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.” All actual, out-of-pocket charges, expenses and fees the Lender may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating to any of the foregoing, shall be added to the Obligations, or, at the Lender’s option, shall be paid by any Security Party to the Lender immediately upon demand.
6.Protection of Collateral. The Loan Parties and the Lender understand and agree that an important purpose of the Advances is to enable the development and operation of the Retail Locations and that the Retail Locations and other Collateral will have full value as collateral only (i) following the DOH’s issuance of the Dispensary Permit, (ii) while the Dispensary Permit remains unencumbered, unchallenged and in full force and effect and (iii) when the Retail Locations are fully permitted, built out, properly managed and placed in operation in accordance with industry best practices in the Commonwealth and Sections 6(c) and 6(d) of this Agreement. Accordingly, each Loan Party will use best efforts (but without any attendant obligation to divest non-monetary assets) at all times to create value in the Collateral and safeguard, protect and preserve all Collateral other than dispositions expressly permitted hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing:
(a)the Borrower shall promptly apply for the Dispensary Permit and shall use best efforts (but without any attendant obligation to divest non-monetary assets) to meet any and all conditions precedent to the DOH’s issuance of the Dispensary Permit to the Borrower, including, without limitation, demonstrating to the DOH that the Borrower has a legal right to build out and operate the Retail Locations;
(b)in order to further protect the Collateral used as security for the Advances by ensuring separation of the Collateral from the other assets of the Borrower, as soon as permissible under the Cannabis Laws following the Location Opening Date, the Borrower shall seek approval from the DOH, at the earliest allowable opportunity, to (i) form NewCo, (ii) transfer the Dispensary Permit from the Borrower to NewCo (the “Permit Transfer”) and (iii) cause the NewCo Joinder in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement;
(c)[***]
(d)the Borrower shall, and shall cause NewCo to, as applicable, comply in good faith with the lawful directives of the Lender in respect of matters related to the Advances
5
and operate the Loan Parties’ businesses, including in respect of the Dispensary Permit and Retail Locations, (i) consistent with industry best practices and its own standard operating procedures (“SOPs”) as such SOPs are submitted to the DOH, (ii) in a manner designed to maximize the revenue of such Retail Locations and preserve the goodwill and relationships of the Loan Parties’ current and future customers, employees, licensors, contractors and others having business relationships with the Loan Parties with respect to the Retail Locations and (iii) in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations then in effect, including the Cannabis Laws; and
(e)Until full and indefeasible payment and performance of all of the Obligations under the Note (subject to the partial release of certain Collateral as set forth in Section 3(b)(i) of this Agreement), the Lender’s interest in the Collateral shall continue in full force and effect. The Loan Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to defend the Lender’s interest in the Borrower Collateral and the NewCo Collateral, and Baker shall use commercially reasonable efforts to defend the Lender’s interest in the Baker Collateral, in each case against the claims of any and all Persons whatsoever, other than the Lender and persons claiming through the Lender.
7.[***]
8.Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default (after giving effect to any period of grace) shall have occurred, each Security Party each agrees, upon the request of the Lender, to assemble all or any part of the Collateral as directed by the Lender and make it available to the Lender at any place of business of the such Security Party or any other location reasonably designated by the Lender, and it is understood and agreed that the Lender shall have the right, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times:
(a)accelerate the payment of all amounts owed under the Note or any Related Contract;
(b)with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, directly or through any designee holding any necessary cannabis or other licenses and permits, take possession of the Collateral and without liability to any Security Party for trespass to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral;
