Assets held for sale consist of those classified as discontinued operations and those that do not meet the criteria for discontinued operations under ASC 205. See “Note 16 – Discontinued Operations" for further information. Subsidiaries classified as held for sale that do not qualify as discontinued operations as of September 30, 2022 consist of the following:
During the fiscal second quarter of 2022, the Company decided to divest two operating dispensaries in the state of California. In June 2022, the Company closed Blüm San Leandro and began actively marketing the retail location for sale, which is expected to close within the next year. The assets are classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2022 but do not meet the criteria for discontinued operation under ASC Subtopic 205-20.
On June 18, 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and transferred 100% of the membership interests in the People's dispensary in Los Angeles, CA wherein all operational control and risk of loss was transferred to the original licenseholder and the Company had no further obligations. As consideration received, a promissory note of $1.40 million with the buyer was forgiven. The Company recognized a loss upon sale of assets of $0.38 million for the difference between the aggregate consideration and the book value of the assets as of the disposition date which is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of June 18 2022, all assets and liabilities related to the dispensary were deconsolidated from the consolidated balance sheet. All profits or losses subsequent to June 18, 2022 are excluded from the consolidated statements of operations.
During the fiscal third quarter of 2022, the Company terminated its third-party distribution operations in California and is in the process of dissolving the related entities. Accordingly, the Company recognized a loss on disposal of assets of $1.36 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The related assets did not meet the held for sale criteria under ASC 360 and are presented as held as used until disposed of other than by sale. All liabilities will continue to remain on the consolidated balance sheets until dissolution of the legal entity. See "Note 20 – Subsequent Events".
During the fiscal third quarter of 2022, the Company terminated its retail and delivery operations at SilverStreak and surrendered the related licenses.

The related assets did not meet the held for sale criteria under ASC 360 and are presented as held as used until disposed of other than by sale.

On February 10, 2022, the Company announced the closing of the sale of the Dyer Property, resulting in the Company retiring $9.00 million of outstanding debt on the Dyer Property as disclosed in "Note 12 – Notes Payable". The Company is continuing to evaluate its options with respect to the license originally connected to the Dyer Property, including consideration of the retail density in the area.
