Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]

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.

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”.

NuLeaf

On November 17, 2021, Medifarm III, LLC (“Medifarm III”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “NuLeaf Purchase Agreement”) with NuLeaf, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“NuLeaf”). Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described in the NuLeaf Purchase Agreement, Medifarm III agreed to sell its 50.0% of the outstanding membership interests of each of NuLeaf Reno Production, LLC (“NuLeaf Reno”) and NuLeaf Sparks Cultivation, LLC (“NuLeaf Sparks”) to NuLeaf, which owned the remaining 50.0% of the membership interests of NuLeaf Reno and NuLeaf Sparks, for aggregate consideration of $6.50 million in cash. The transaction closed in April 2022.

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 and Oregon operations during the periods presented represented 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".
