NOTE 19  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

Southern California Retail Operations 

 

On June 10, 2024, Unrivaled entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “MIPA”) and simultaneously completed the sale of its controlling membership interest in People's First Choice, LLC ("PFC"), which operates as Blüm Santa Ana, for a total sale price of $22.54 million. Effective upon the closing of the transaction, the buyer assumed full operational and management control of the PFC business pursuant to a Management Services Agreement (the "MSA"), pending transfer of the cannabis licenses. As a result of the MSA, the Company no longer had a controlling financial interest and deconsolidated all assets and operations related to PFC as of June 10, 2024. The Company has continuing involvement in PFC as a result of the Trademark License Agreement in which the buyer shall have the right to continued use of the “Blüm” name and registered trademarks in connection with the on-going business of Blüm Santa Ana on a royalty-free basis for up to 18 months, and for a license fee thereafter at the buyer’s option. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had cash inflows and outflows of nil from discontinued operations related to PFC after the disposal date.
 
On February 18, 2024, The Spot closed its doors for in-store shopping and continued offering cannabis delivery. During the fiscal second quarter of 2024, the Company ceased operations at The Spot. On April 11, 2024, Unrivaled entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to sell 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of The Spot for a purchase price of $0.53 million to be paid in cash. The transaction closed on October 25, 2024. 
 
The assets and liabilities related to PFC and The Spot were measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell ("FVLCTS") upon classification as held for sale. The Company concluded that the disposal of PFC and the exit of The Spot, as reported under the cannabis retail segment, 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 entities were classified as discontinued operations. Revenue and expenses, gains or losses relating to the discontinuation of such 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.
