Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements made by us. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, including statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, beliefs, business strategies, future events, business conditions, results of operations, financial position, business outlook, business trends, and other information, may be forward-looking statements. Words such as “might,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “estimates,” “expects,” “continues,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “intends,” “believes,” “forecasts,” “future,” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based upon our current expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections, and various assumptions, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Our expectations, beliefs, estimates, and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates, and projections will occur or can be achieved and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements.
There are a number of risks, uncertainties, and other important factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Such risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ include, among others, the risk, uncertainties and factors set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and in other filings we make from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
We caution you that the risks, uncertainties, and other factors set forth in our periodic filings with the SEC may not contain all of the risks, uncertainties, and other factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results, benefits, or developments that we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our business in the way expected. There can be no assurance that: (i) we have correctly measured or identified all of the factors affecting our business or the extent of these factors’ likely impact, (ii) the available information with respect to these factors on which such analysis is based is complete or accurate, (iii) such analysis is correct, or (iv) our strategy, which is based in part on this analysis, will be successful. All forward-looking statements in this report apply only as of the date of the report or as of the date they were made and, except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

•Blüm San Leandro, a California corporation (“Blüm San Leandro”)
•Halladay Holding, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Halladay”)
•People’s First Choice, LLC, a California limited liability company (“People’s”)
•UMBRLA, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("UMBRLA")
References in this document to “the Company”, “Unrivaled”, “we”, “us”, or “our” are intended to mean Unrivaled Brands, Inc., individually, or as the context requires, collectively with its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933 and reflect the accounts and operations of the Company and those of its subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. In accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation,” the Company consolidates any variable interest entity (“VIE”) of which it is the primary beneficiary. The typical condition for a controlling financial interest ownership is holding a majority of the voting interests of an entity; however, a controlling financial interest may also exist in entities, such as VIEs, through arrangements that do not involve controlling voting interests. ASC 810 requires a variable interest holder to consolidate a VIE if that party has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company does not consolidate a VIE in which it has a majority ownership interest when it is not considered the primary beneficiary. The Company evaluates its relationships with all the VIEs on an ongoing basis to reassess if it continues to be the primary beneficiary.
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 have been included. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the more detailed audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. The December 31, 2022 balances reported herein are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
8
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect total assets, total liabilities, stockholders' deficit, revenues or net loss.
Going Concern
While the Company incurred a pre-tax net income from continuing operations of $1.07 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company has incurred significant losses in prior periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred a pre-tax net loss from continuing operations of $12.22 million. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $439.64 million and $440.05 million, respectively. At March 31, 2023, the Company had a consolidated cash balance of $1.36 million. Management expects to experience further net losses in 2023 and in the foreseeable future. The Company may not be able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund its ongoing operations. The Company's future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to generate enough revenue or raise capital to support its operations.
The Company will be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, additional collaborative relationships or other arrangements until it is able to raise revenues to a point of positive cash flow. The Company is evaluating various options to further reduce its cash requirements to operate at a reduced rate, as well as options to raise additional funds, including obtaining loans and selling common stock. There is no guarantee that it will be able to generate enough revenue or raise capital to support its operations, or if it is able to raise capital, that it will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, on an acceptable schedule, or at all.
The issuance of additional securities may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of the Company's current stockholders. Obtaining loans, assuming these loans would be available, will increase the Company's liabilities and future cash commitments. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain further funds required for its continued operations or that additional financing will be available for use when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If the Company is not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, it will not be able to meet its other obligations as they become due and the Company will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease its operations.
The risks and uncertainties surrounding the Company's ability to continue to raise capital and its limited capital resources raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. In an effort to achieve liquidity that would be sufficient to meet all of its commitments, the Company has undertaken a number of actions, including minimizing capital expenditures and reducing recurring expenses. However, management believes that even after taking these actions, the Company will not have sufficient liquidity to satisfy all of its future financial obligations. The risks and uncertainties surrounding the ability to raise capital, the limited capital resources, and the weak industry conditions impacting the Company’s business raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern.
Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies and critical estimates applied by the Company in these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K, unless otherwise disclosed in these accompanying notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim period ended March 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of total net revenue and expenses in the reporting periods. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns, inventory valuation, stock-based compensation expense, goodwill and purchased intangible asset valuations, derivative liabilities, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions, tax contingencies, litigation and other loss contingencies.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
9
These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenue, costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results the Company experiences may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations will be affected.
Loss Per Common Share
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”, net loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. During a loss period, the effect of the potential exercise of stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debt are not considered in the diluted loss per share calculation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. If the Company is in a net income position, diluted earnings per share includes stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debt that are determined to be dilutive using the treasury stock method for all equity instruments issuable in equity units and the “if converted” method for the Company’s convertible debt. The Company's operations resulted in net income and net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Dilutive securities that are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive are as follows (in common equivalent shares):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| 2023 | | 2022 |
| | | |
Common Stock Warrants | 101,161,796 | | | 24,945,055 | |
Common Stock Options | 43,331,576 | | | 87,851,618 | |
| 144,493,372 | | | 112,796,673 | |
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Subtopic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2021-08”), which is intended to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. This update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date of the amendments. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (“ASU 2022-02”), which eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) for creditors and amends the guidance on “vintage disclosures” to require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination. The ASU also updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under the current guidance and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurements—Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (Topic 820)”. ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. It also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
10
In June 2016, the FASB ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”)”. ASU 2016-13 replaces the “incurred loss” credit losses framework with a new accounting standard that requires management's measurement of the allowance for credit losses to be based on a broader range of reasonable and supportable information for lifetime credit loss estimates. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the standard. The adoption of this standard do not have a material impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 3 – CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains cash balances in several financial institutions that are insured by either the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Association up to certain federal limitations. At times, the Company’s cash balance exceeds these federal limitations, and it maintains significant cash on hand at certain of its locations. The Company has not historically experienced any material loss from carrying cash on hand. The amount in excess of insured limitations was at $1.21 million and nil as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers located throughout the U.S. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. There were no customers that comprised more than 10.0% of the Company's revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
The Company sources cannabis products for retail, cultivation, and production from various vendors. However, as a result of regulations in the State of California, the Company’s California retail, cultivation, and production operations must use vendors licensed by the State. As a result, the Company is dependent upon the licensed vendors in California to supply products. If the Company is unable to enter into a relationship with sufficient members of properly licensed vendors, the Company’s sales may be impacted. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any concentration of vendors for inventory purchases. However, this may change depending on the number of vendors who receive appropriate licenses to operate in the State of California.
NOTE 4 – INVENTORY
Raw materials consist of materials and packaging for manufacturing of products owned by the Company. Work-in-progress consists of cultivation materials and live plants. Finished goods consists of cannabis products sold in retail and distribution. Inventory as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | |

Finished Goods | 1,800 | | | 1,131 | |
Total Inventory | $ | 2,558 | | | $ | 1,939 | |
NOTE 5 – INVESTMENTS
On May 3, 2022, Edible Garden Corp. ("Edible Garden") completed a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. As a result, the Company held 1,000,000 shares in Edible Garden. On May 5, 2022, Edible Garden announced the pricing of its initial public offering of 2,930,000 shares of its common stock and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 2,930,000 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $5.00 per share. Each share of common stock was sold together with one warrant at a combined offering price of $5.00, for gross proceeds of approximately $14.70 million. As a result of the initial public offering, the Company reassessed its write down on the investment and recorded a write up to its fair value, which is categorized within the fair value hierarchy as Level 2. In November 2022, the lock-up restriction on the Company's shares in the Purchaser expired and accordingly, the Company's investment transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 fair value measurement.

NOTE 10 – LEASES
A lease provides the lessee the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating lease right-of-use assets are included in other assets while lease liabilities are a line item on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Most operating leases contain renewal options that provide for rent increases based on prevailing market conditions. The terms used to calculate the right-of-use assets for certain properties include the renewal options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.
The discount rate used to determine the commencement date present value of lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease, or when that is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its secured borrowing rate. Right-of-use assets include any lease payments required to be made prior to commencement and exclude lease incentives. Both right-of-use assets and lease liabilities exclude variable payments not based on an index or rate, which are treated as period costs. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain significant residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants.

On March 6, 2023, the Company entered into a binding settlement term sheet ("Settlement Term Sheet") to resolve pending litigation matters with People’s California, LLC, whereby the parties agreed to amend the terms of that certain secured promissory note ("Original Note"), issued by the Company to People's California, LLC on November 22, 2021. The Original Note was amended and restated into two secured promissory notes: a $3.00 million note ("$3M Note") and a $20.00 million note ("Settlement Note"). The $3M Note accrues simple interest at 10.0% annually, interest payable monthly in cash, and principal is due 180 days after effective date of the Settlement Term Sheet.
The Settlement Note accrues interest at 5.0% for the first 180 days, and 10.0% thereafter, interest is paid in cash (or the Company’s common stock based on the 10-day volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") at the date of issuance) starting 180 days after the effective date of the Settlement Term Sheet and on the first of the month thereafter. The amount of $5.00 million of principal is due in cash within 90 days of the effective date of the Settlement Term Sheet with the balance due on the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the Settlement Term Sheet, which is March 6, 2028. When the $5.00 million principal payment for the Settlement Note and the $3.00 million payment under the $3M Note are paid (“Up-front Settlement”) in accordance with the Settlement Term Sheet, People's California, LLC will be obligated to transfer the Riverside and Costa Mesa licenses and stores to the Company as described in that certain membership interest purchase agreement, dated as of November 22, 2021, with Peoples's California, LLC for no additional consideration.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The conversion price is the lower of $0.20 or the 10-day VWAP of the Company's common stock. Upon payment of the Up-front Settlement, the Company has the option to convert the unpaid principal balance of either notes into the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $0.20 per shareas long as the at the time of the conversion the Company's common stock has a 10-day VWAP of $0.20 per share or greater.
After the first $5.00 million principal payment on the Settlement Note, principal payments made in cash prior to the first anniversary of the Settlement Term Sheet reduce the principal balance by twice the amount of the cash payment. The modification to the Company's promissory note under the Settlement Term Sheet was classified as troubled debt restructuring pursuant to ASC 470-60, "Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors," and the Company recorded a premium of $0.47 million. See "Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies" for details on the related litigation matters.

As of March 31, 2023, total unrecognized stock-based compensation was $0.35 million. Such costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.22 years. The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the applicable service period of the award. The service period is generally the vesting period.
The Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. Hence, the Company uses the “simplified method” described in Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 to estimate the expected term of share option grants. The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical volatilities for the Company’s common stock. The Company will continue to analyze the historical stock price volatility and expected term assumptions as more historical data for the Company’s common stock becomes available. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. treasury instruments whose term was consistent with the expected term of the Company’s stock options. The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company has assumed no dividend yield for purposes of estimating the fair value of the Company stock-based compensation.

NOTE 15 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Oregon Operations
On December 28, 2022, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to which the Company sold all of its equity interests in LTRMN, Inc., which conducts cannabis distribution and wholesale activities in Oregon, for an aggregate purchase price of $0.25 million. The purchase price was paid in the form of a secured promissory note at a rate of 8.0% per annum due and payable on the third anniversary of the date of issuance. However, upon a final and binding settlement of certain ongoing litigation that is approved by UMBRLA, the purchase price shall be automatically revised to be nil and the promissory note shall be deemed paid and satisfied in-full.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
18
On December 28, 2022, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to which the Company sold its 50.0% equity interests in Psychonaut Oregon, LLC (“Psychonaut”) to Joseph Gerlach for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00. Mr. Gerlach owns the other 50.0% of the equity interests in Psychonaut and is also the Company’s Chief Cultivation Officer. In connection with the sale of Psychonaut, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note dated December 28, 2022 (the “Psychonaut Note”) pursuant to which the Company consolidated all current liabilities due to Mr. Gerlach totaling $0.15 million. The Psychonaut Note accrues interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum and is due and payable on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance.
The Company concluded that the sale of LTRMN, Inc. and Psychonaut (together, the "Oregon operations") represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results and thus all assets and liabilities allocable to the operations within the state of Oregon were classified as discontinued operations. The assets associated with the Oregon operations were measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell ("FVLCTS"). Revenue and expenses, gains or losses relating to the discontinuation of Oregon operations were eliminated from profit or loss from the Company’s continuing operations and are shown as a single line item in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.
The Company recognized a loss upon sale of the Oregon operations of $0.50 million for the net carrying value of the assets as of the disposition date which was determined as the book value less direct costs to sell and is recognized as a component of loss on disposal of assets and other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for Discontinued Operations during the year ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the Oregon operations have been fully deconsolidated by the Company and the Company does not have any continuing involvement with the former subsidiary outside of the Magee litigation disclosed in “Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies”.

OneQor
During fiscal year 2020, management suspended the operations of OneQor due to (i) a lack of proper growth in customer acquisition and revenue for this CBD operation during the COVID-19 pandemic and (ii) the overall financial health of the Company as a result of COVID-19 and social unrest. The Company plans to focus its attention and resources on growing its THC business. In November 2022, the Company received confirmation for the legal dissolution of OneQor. Accordingly, all liabilities and existing obligations related to OneQor were extinguished as of December 31, 2022.
The completed sales of our NuLeaf operations during the periods presented represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. As a result, management determined the results of these components qualified for discontinued operations presentation in accordance with ASC 205, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosure of Disposals of Components of an Entity".

Litigation and Claims
The Company is the subject of lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time. The Company reviews any such legal proceedings and claims on an ongoing basis and follows appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. The Company establishes accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and it discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued if such disclosure is necessary for the Company’s financial statements to not be misleading. To estimate whether a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of the loss. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated.
Based upon present information, the Company determined that there was one matter that required an accrual as of March 31, 2023. Accordingly, the Company has accrued $0.50 million for the Magee litigation detailed below.
Magee v. UMBRLA, Inc. et al. - The Company is currently involved in a breach of contract action brought by former LTRMN, Inc. (“LTRMN”) employee, Kurtis Magee, which was filed by Mr. Magee in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange, on July 21, 2020. Mr. Magee alleges breach of contract in connection with Mr. Magee’s separation agreement with LTRMN. Trial in this matter is set for April 29, 2024.
Terra Tech Corp. v. National Fire & Marine Ins. Co., et al. - On or about December 6, 2021, the Company initiated an action in California Superior Court, County of Alameda, against National Fire & marine Insurance Company (“National Fire”), Woodruff-Sawyer & Co., and R-T Specialty, LLC in connection with the denial of an insurance claim by National Fire following the vandalism and looting of the Company’s Bay Area dispensaries in May 2020. The Company alleges that coverage levels for the Company were changed after the policy was bound, in a manner inconsistent with the binder, which prevented the Company from fully recovering its losses in connection with the incidents. Trial in this matter has not been set.
Unrivaled Brands, Inc. et al v. Mystic Holdings, Inc., et al. - On May 11, 2022, Unrivaled and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Medifarm I, LLC (“Plaintiffs”) initiated an action in the Second Judicial District of the State of Nevada, County of Washoe, against Mystic Holdings, Inc.

Outlook
The Company will continue to focus on its performing assets, particularly California retail assets.

The Company will continue to focus on reducing and streamlining its corporate overhead and rightsizing the Company. This outlook is based on several management assumptions that are largely outside the control of the Company. With a disciplined approach to retail performance, a management team with extensive cannabis industry, capital markets experience, deep relationships in the industry, and a commitment to investing in its team and, specifically, its company culture, the Company is encouraged that Unrivaled will emerge from its current restructuring efforts as an effective cannabis company. We will continue to seek further opportunities to expand profitability and maximize returns for its shareholders.

Revenue
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company generated revenue from continuing operations of $8.73 million composed of retail revenue of $7.96 million and cultivation/distribution revenue of $0.77 million. This compared to revenue from continuing operations of $18.45 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, which included retail revenue of $12.11 million and cultivation/distribution revenue of $6.34 million. This was a decrease of $9.72 million or 53.0% in revenue from continuing operations.
Retail revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased compared to the same period in the prior year by $4.15 million or 34.3% due to closure of our non-storefront delivery in Sacramento, California, the divestiture of the Downtown Los Angeles retail operations during the second quarter of 2022 and a general depression of the cannabis market during the last half of 2022. While we operated the non-storefront Sacramento retail operation and the Los Angeles retail operations during the first quarter of 2022, there were no operations of the same non-storefront Sacramento retail and Los Angeles retail operations during the first quarter of 2023, which contributed $1.38 million in revenues in the prior year.
Cultivation and distribution revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $5.57 million or 87.8% compared to the same period in the prior year due to changes in the Company’s operations that were implemented as part of its turnaround plan in 2022. In addition, we eliminated third-party distribution operations in California which contributed $5.23 million of revenue in the same period in the prior year. We also began slowing down cultivation operations at a facility based in California which provided $0.65 million of revenue in the current year compared to $1.10 million in the prior year.
Gross Profit
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $4.55 million, a decrease of $8.19 million or 64.0% compared to $12.74 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in cost of goods sold was directly impacted by the decrease in revenues for the current reporting period as compared to the prior year.
Gross profit from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $4.18 million compared to a gross profit of $5.71 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $1.53 million or 27.0%. The decrease in gross profit was directly impacted by the decrease in revenues for the current reporting period as compared to the prior year. However, the Company's gross margin improved for the three months March 31, 2023 to 47.9% as compared to 31.0% for the same period in the prior year as the Company focused on its core assets and divested non-performing assets related to its distribution operations.
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses
The merger with UMBRLA and the acquisitions of People's First Choice and SilverStreak Solutions in 2021 led to more operations with additional facilities, employees, and costs to support them through most of the year 2022. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $7.10 million, compared to $17.93 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $10.83 million or 60.4%. As a result of the Company's restructuring plan to focus on efficiencies, its core assets and reducing its non-core assets implemented during the third fiscal quarter of 2022, the Company saw significant reductions in expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in the prior year. As a result of the restructuring plan, the Company saw a decrease of $2.48 million in depreciation and amortization expense, a decrease of $1.38 million in facility related expenses, such as rent, utilities, repairs and maintenance, security, and insurance, a decrease of $2.93 million in salaries and benefits, and a decrease of $1.73 million in stock-based compensation.
Operating Loss
The Company realized an operating loss from continuing operations of $2.92 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to an operating loss from continuing operations of $12.02 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $9.10 million or 75.7%. This improvement from the same period in the prior year was primarily attributable to the results of the Company's restructuring objectives noted above.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $3.99 million compared to other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $0.19 million, a decrease of $4.18 million. The change from the prior year was primarily attributable to the decline in interest expense as a result of reduced debt compared to the same period in the prior year, a gain on settlement of liabilities of $1.51 million, and a gain on extinguishment of debt of $3.03 million.
Discontinued Operations
Net income from discontinued operations was nil for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $1.93 million for the comparative prior period. All discontinued operations were fully divested as of December 31, 2022, and as a result, the Company had no income or loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Revenue
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, revenues were consistent with the preceding quarter ended December 31, 2022. The Company's revenue from retail, cultivation and distribution remained consistent quarter over quarter.
Gross Profit
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $4.55 million, a decrease of $0.36 million or 7.0%, compared to $4.91 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in cost of goods sold was directly impacted by the improvement in efficiency and cost cutting measures at the Company's cultivation facility and its operations.
Gross profit from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $4.18 million compared to a gross profit of $3.82 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $0.36 million or 10.0%. The increase in gross profit was directly impacted by the decrease in cost of goods sold for the current reporting period as compared to
the immediate prior quarter. As a result, the Company's gross margin improved for the three months March 31, 2023 to 47.9% as compared to 43.8% for the immediate prior quarter.
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.99 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2022 primarily as a result of (1) an increase in professional fees of $1.05 million due to legal fees in defending the Company in litigation and legal fees resulting from the settlement and negotiation of settlements of various liabilities, and (2) an increase in allowance for doubtful accounts. In the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized a reversal of $1.08 million in the allowance for doubtful accounts, which resulted in a reduction in total selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to nil reversals or bad debt expense for the quarter ending March 31, 2023.
Operating Income and Loss
The Company realized an operating loss from continuing operations of $2.92 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to an operating income from continuing operations of $8.77 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $11.69 million or 133.3%. The decline from the immediate prior quarter was primarily due to the onetime gains recognized in the fourth quarter of 2022 related to the $9.07 million gain recognized on the shut down of its non-core assets during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, while no such transaction occurred during three months ended March 31, 2023..
Other Income and Expense
Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $3.99 million compared to $2.03 million expense recognized in the three months ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $6.01 million. This change from was primarily attributable to the decline in interest expense as a result of reduced debt compared to the same period in the prior year and the gain on settlement of liabilities of $1.51 million and gain on extinguishment of debt of $3.03 million which had no such gains in the same period in the prior year.
Non-GAAP Reconciliations
Non-GAAP earnings is a supplemental measure of our performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). Non-GAAP earnings is not a measurement of the Company's financial performance under US GAAP and should not be considered as alternative to net income, operating income, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with US GAAP, or as alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of the Company's liquidity. In addition, in evaluating non-GAAP earnings, you should be aware that in the future the Company will incur expenses or charges such as those added back to calculate non-GAAP earnings. The Company's presentation of non-GAAP earnings should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
Non-GAAP earnings has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under US GAAP. Some of these limitations are (i) it does not reflect the Company's cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, (ii) it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs, (iii) it does not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company's debt, (iv) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and non-GAAP earnings does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements, (v) it does not adjust for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in the Company's statements of cash flows, and (vi) other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as comparative measures.
The Company compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the US GAAP amounts excluded from such non-GAAP financial measures. The Company further compensates for the limitations in our use of non-GAAP financial measures by presenting comparable US GAAP measures more prominently.
The Company believes that non-GAAP earnings facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies.
These potential differences may be caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense). The Company also presents non-GAAP earnings because (i) it believes that this measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company's industry, (ii) the Company believes that investors will find these measures useful in assessing the Company's ability to service or incur indebtedness, and (iii) the Company uses non-GAAP earnings internally as benchmark to compare its performance to that of its competitors.
In the presentation of the financial results below, the Company reconciles Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Income (Loss) with net income (loss) attributable to continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Management believes that this presentation may be more meaningful in analyzing our income generation.
On a non-GAAP basis, the Company recorded Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Loss of $1.15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $5.08 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The details of those expenses and non-GAAP reconciliation of these non-cash items are set forth below:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We incurred net income (for 2023) and net losses (for 2022) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively and have an accumulated deficit of $439.64 million and $440.05 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of $33.09 million, including $1.36 million of cash compared to a working capital deficit of $54.57 million, including $1.20 million of cash, as of December 31, 2022. Current assets were approximately 0.14 times current liabilities as of March 31, 2023, compared to approximately 0.08 times current liabilities as of December 31, 2022.
We have not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund our ongoing operations. Since our inception, we have raised capital through private sales of common stock, preferred stock and debt securities. Our future success is dependent upon our ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations.
We will be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, additional collaborative relationships or other arrangements until we are able to raise revenues to a point of positive cash flow. We believe our existing and available capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy our funding requirements through the end of 2023. However, we continue to evaluate various options to further reduce our cash requirements to operate at a reduced rate, as well as options to raise additional funds, including obtaining loans and selling common stock. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations, or if we are able to raise capital, that such capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, on an acceptable schedule, or at all.
The risks and uncertainties surrounding the Company’s ability to continue to raise capital and its limited capital resources raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern.
Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $2.28 million, compared to $3.43 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $1.15 million, or 33.6%. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to a slowdown in cash payments of payables and accrued expenses, partly due to the lack of capital during the current period as compared to the same period in the prior year and our increased efforts to scale back on non-accretive expenditures. For fiscal year 2022, management focused on its turnaround plan to stabilize operations to put the Company on a path to profitability. We took decisive action to preserve operating cash flow by reducing cash burn, prioritizing payments, renegotiating vendor agreements and closing underperforming business units. Management expects to see improvements in cash flow from operating activities as the Company continues to execute its strategic restructuring.
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $0.69 million, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $14.19 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $13.50 million, or 95.1%. The decrease in cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to the cash received upon disposing some of the Company's subsidiaries, which the Company had no such transactions in the current year.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $1.75 million, compared to cash used in financing activities of $14.24 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an improvement of $15.98 million, or 112.3%. The decrease in cash used in financing activities as compared to the prior year was primarily due to the significant debt payments made on the Company's debt in the prior year, while the Company has minimal debt payments in the current year.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section discusses our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. These accounting policies are described in “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
DISCLOSURE ABOUT OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of March 31, 2023, the Company does not have any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that constitute off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
This item is omitted as it is not required for a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer are responsible for conducting an evaluation 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, as of March 31, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to a reasonable level as of March 31, 2023.
Based on the results of its assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2023 based on such criteria due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below:
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
•The Company’s primary user access controls (i.e. provisioning, de-provisioning, and quarterly user access review) to ensure appropriate segregation of duties that would adequately restrict user and privileged access to the financially relevant systems and data to appropriate Company personnel were not operating effectively. Automated process-level controls and manual controls that are dependent upon the information derived from such financially relevant systems were also determined to be ineffective as a result of such deficiency.
•The Company did not maintain adequate and timely review transactions and account reconciliations resulting in material audit adjustments.
Remediation Plan
We plan to enhance our internal control over financial reporting in an effort to remediate the material weaknesses described above. We are committed to ensuring that our internal control over financial reporting is designed and operating effectively. Our remediation process will include:
•Investing in IT systems to enhance our operational and financial reporting and internal controls.
•Enhancing the organizational structure to support financial reporting processes and internal controls.
•Providing guidance, education and training to employees relating to our accounting policies and procedures.
•Further developing and documenting detailed policies and procedures regarding business processes for significant accounts, critical accounting policies and critical accounting estimates.
•Establishing effective general controls over IT systems to ensure that information produced can be relied upon by process level controls is relevant and reliable.
We expect to remediate these material weaknesses during fiscal year 2023. However, we may discover additional material weaknesses that may require additional time and resources to remediate.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We regularly assess the adequacy of our internal controls over financial reporting and enhance our controls in response to internal control assessments and external audit and regulatory recommendations. No changes in internal control over financial reporting have been identified in connection with the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Company is the subject of lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time. See “Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies” for further information about legal activity.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, except for the risk factors noted below. Please refer to that section for disclosures regarding the risk and uncertainties relating to our business.
We have entered into binding term sheets with third parties and cannot assure you that any anticipated arrangements under such term sheets will lead to definitive agreements. If we are unable to complete these arrangements in a timely manner and on terms favorable to us, our business may be adversely affected.
We have engaged in negotiations with a number of third parties and have agreed to terms regarding settlement of litigation in which the Company is involved and restructuring of certain debt. We may be unable to negotiate final terms in a timely manner, or at all, and there is no guarantee that the terms of any final, definitive, binding agreement will be the same or similar to those currently contemplated in the term sheets. Final terms may be less favorable to us than those set forth in the term sheets. Delays in negotiating final, definitive, binding agreements could slow the Company’s development, divert management’s attention from other matters, result in wasted resources, and cause the Company to consume capital significantly faster than it currently anticipates.
The effects of war, acts of terrorism, threat of terrorism, or other types of violence, could adversely affect our business.
Some of our stores are located in areas with a high amount of foot traffic. Any threat of terrorist attacks or actual terrorist events, or other types of violence, such as shootings or riots, could lead to lower consumer traffic and a decline in sales. Decreased sales could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If our acquired intangible assets become impaired in the future, we may incur significant impairment charges.
At least annually, or whenever events or circumstances arise indicating impairment may exist, we review goodwill for impairment as required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Long-lived assets other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.
In the future, we may need to further reduce the carrying amount of goodwill and incur additional non-cash charges to our results of operations. Such charges could have the effect of reducing goodwill with a corresponding impairment expense and may have a material effect upon our reported results. The additional expense may reduce our reported profitability or increase our reported losses in future periods and could negatively affect the value of our securities, our ability to obtain other sources of capital, and may generally have a negative effect on our future operations.
