Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with (i) United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information, and (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of our management, our unaudited condensed consolidated 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 Form 10, as filed with the SEC and with the relevant Canadian securities regulatory authorities under its 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, 2022. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, statements of stockholder’s equity, and cash flows of the Company for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current year ending December 31, 2022.

Principles of consolidation

Principles of consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, which includes Jupiter Research, LLC (“Jupiter”), JJ Blocker Co., and subsidiaries (collectively, “Blocker”), Baker Technologies, Inc., and subsidiaries (collectively, “Baker”), and the businesses acquired in 2021 described below.

On March 15, 2021, TILT acquired all assets and assumed all liabilities of Standard Farms Ohio, LLC (“Standard Farms OH”), a medical cannabis provider focused on cultivation processing and CO2 extraction for the State of Ohio’s operating dispensaries. The acquisition of Standard Farms OH (the “Standard Farms OH Acquisition”) further expands the Company’s footprint into a new market, thus providing access to additional customers.  Operations of the acquired business are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for periods subsequent to the acquisition date.

On August 24, 2021, TILT acquired 100% of the Class A membership interests in Standard Farms New York, LLC (“SFNY”) through its newly formed wholly owned subsidiary SFNY Holdings, Inc. The acquisition of SFNY allowed for the Company to enter into a joint venture with Conor Green Consulting, LLC (“Conor Green”), under the newly formed entity CGSF Group, LLC (“CGSF”) with SFNY holding a 75% interest in CGSF. The acquisition of membership interest in both SFNY and CGSF, through the Company’s subsidiary SFNY Holdings, Inc., expanded the Company’s presence into a new market as the joint venture was formed for the express purpose of creating a partnership with the Shinnecock Indian Nation (“Shinnecock” or the “Nation”) to establish vertical cannabis operations on their tribal territory on Long Island, New York.  Operating results of the acquired entity are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for periods subsequent to the acquisition date.

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the Company's prior period condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The Company is presenting certain security deposits of $273 in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, which were previously included in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Use of estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated 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

Restricted Cash

The Company had $28,198 and $2,731 in restricted cash as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Included in restricted cash as of June 30, 2022 was $25,466 of cash held by an escrow agent in connection with the completion of the Taunton Facility transaction (as described in Note 11 — Notes Payable and Note 12 — Leases). This cash was reserved to pay down outstanding corporate debt. Also included in restricted cash was $1,432 of interest reserves as of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. This cash is reserved for payment of interest on the Senior Notes (as described in Note 11 — Notes Payable) and will be used to pay interest at the escrow agent’s discretion.

Estimated Useful Lives and Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment

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

3 – 10 years

Furniture and fixtures

3 – 7 years

Autos and trucks

5 years

Buildings, leasehold and land improvements

5 – 40 years

Greenhouse-agricultural structure

7 – 15 years

Construction in progress

Not depreciated

Property not in service

Not depreciated

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed annually and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. Leasehold and land improvements are amortized over the shorter of either 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

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements, other than those below, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the Association of International Certified Professional 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 Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2020-06 Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) — Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which is intended to simplify the recognition of convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, revises the derivatives scope exception, and makes targeted improvements to the related earnings per share guidance. ASU 2020-06 became effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) — Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. ASU 2021-04 clarifies whether an issuer should account for a modification or an exchange of freestanding equity-classified written calls options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange as (1) an adjustment to equity and if so, the related earnings per share effects, if any,  or (2) an expense, and if  so, the manner and pattern of  recognition. ASC 2021-04 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) : Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 requires that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in accordance with Topic 606 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) as if the entity had originated the contracts. ASU 2021-08 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. The Company will consider adopting this ASU and the effects of adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements when it next completes a business combination.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This guidance was effective upon issuance as of March 12, 2020 and may be adopted as reference rate reform activities occur through December 31, 2022. We have not yet applied any of the expedients and exceptions and do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
