Cansortium Inc. Condensed Interim Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021 (Amounts expressed in thousands of United States Dollars unless otherwise stated)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Cansortium Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada pursuant to the Ontario Business Corporations Act. (“OBCA”) on August 31, 2018. The Company’s registered office is located at 295 The West Mall, Suite 600, Toronto, Ontario, M9C 4Z4 and its head office is located at 82 North East 26th Street, Suite 110, Miami, Florida, United States, 33137.

On March 22, 2019, the Company acquired all outstanding units of Cansortium Holdings LLC (“Cansortium Holdings”), in connection with the Company's initial public offering and listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange. The Company’s shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") under the trading symbol “TIUM.U” and on the OTCQX International Market under the trading symbol “CNTMF.”

The Company, through its subsidiaries, is licensed to produce and sell medical cannabis in Florida and Texas and is licensed to sell medical cannabis in Pennsylvania.

The Company’s medical cannabis products are offered in oral drops, capsules, topicals, syringes, dried flower, pre-rolls, cartridges, and edibles. All of its products are marketed under the Fluent™ brand name, which was launched in May 2019. Prior to the launch of the Fluent brand the Company had operated under the Knox Medical brand. In Pennsylvania, the Company’s product portfolio is comprised of a variety of third-party branded medical cannabis products.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company discontinued its operations in Puerto Rico, Canada and Colombia and, as a result, classified the assets and liabilities associated with these operations as held for sale and investment held for sale, measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, and has disclosed such assets separately in the statement of financial position. Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss. The Company completed the sale of its Puerto Rican business on April 28, 2020, and completed the sale of its Canadian business on May 29, 2020. Additionally, on January 22, 2020, the Company reduced its ownership of Cansortium Colombia S.A.S (Cansortium Colombia) to 50% (see Note 7) and classified its Cansortium Colombia investment held for sale separately in the statement of financial position. In June 2022, the Company discontinued its operations in Michigan and terminated its partnership with Green Standard.

All of the Company’s operations are in one segment, the production and sale of medical cannabis. All revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, were generated in the United States.

These condensed interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they become due for the near future.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Preparation

The condensed interim unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The condensed interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, following the same accounting policies and methods of application as those disclosed in the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2021, including the accompanying notes thereto.

These consolidated interim unaudited financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 28, 2022.

(b) Basis of Measurement

The condensed interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention except for certain financial assets, liabilities and biological assets that are measured at fair value.

(c) Functional and Presentation of Foreign Currency

The condensed interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of United States (“U.S.”) dollars unless otherwise stated. The functional currency of the Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of the Brazilian subsidiary is the Brazilian Reals. The functional currency of the Australian subsidiary is the Australian dollar.

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at period end exchange rates. Income and expenses, and cash flows of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates. Exchange differences resulting from the translation of foreign operations are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(d) Basis of Consolidation

The condensed interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Subsidiaries over which the Company has control are fully consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases. Control exists when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable are considered. Non-controlling interests in the equity of consolidated subsidiaries are shown separately in the condensed interim unaudited consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss and in the condensed interim unaudited consolidated statement of changes in stakeholders’ equity. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. The information below lists the Company’s subsidiaries that are included in these condensed interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and the ownership interest held as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(e) Critical Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s condensed interim 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. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the review affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgments, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized on these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been set out in Note 2 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020.

(f) COVID-19 outbreak

Since February 2020, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID19”, has resulted in a widespread international health crisis that has materially affected economies and financial markets, resulting in the rapid onset of an economic downturn. As a result, the Governments of Canada and the U.S. have instituted various recommendation and laws to help limit its spread. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown at this time. The Company continues to monitor COVID-19 developments and its production facilities have continued operations.

The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of biological assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and year ended December 31, 2021 is as follows:

**September 30, ** **September 30, ** December 31, December 31,
2022 2021
Balance at beginning of period $ 3,297
$ 1,914
Cost incurred until harvest 15,495 14,127
Effect of unrealized change in fair value of biological assets 13,224 14,853
Transferred to inventoryupon harvest (27,303) (27,597)
Balance at end ofperiod $ 4,713 $ 3,297

As of September 30, 2022, all biological assets were live plants.

The Company measures its biological assets at their fair value less costs to sell. This is determined using a model which estimates the expected harvest yield in grams for plants currently being cultivated, and the expected selling price less costs to sell per gram.

The fair value measurements for biological assets have been categorized as Level 3 in the IFRS 13 fair value hierarchy as there is no actively traded commodity market for plants or dried product. The Company’s method of accounting for biological assets attributes value accretion on a straight-line basis throughout the life of the biological asset from initial cloning to the point of harvest.

These estimates are subject to volatility in market prices and a number of uncontrollable factors, which could significantly affect the fair value of biological assets which will affect the amount reflected in the gain or loss on biological assets in future periods.

The following table quantifies each significant unobservable input, and provides the impact that a 10% increase or decrease in each input would have on the fair value of biological assets:

  • (a) Weighted average of expected loss of plants until harvest represents the expected loss of plants that will not survive to the point of harvest. It does not include any financial loss on a surviving plant.

  • (b) Expected average yields for cannabis plants vary based on the mix of strains existing at each reporting date.

  • (c) The estimated selling price per gram represents the actual sales price for the Company’s various strains sold as retail products. The selling price is impacted by the mix of expected THC levels from the plants.

4. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS (Continued)

The Company estimates the harvest yields for cannabis at various stages of growth. As of September 30, 2022, it is expected that the Company’s biological assets will yield approximately 4,607,851 grams of dry cannabis when harvested (2021 – 2,287,825 grams). As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had 87,039 and as compared to 69,627 plants, respectively that were classified as biological assets.

5. NOTE RECEIVABLE

In connection with the Company’s agreement entered into in October 2018 with Green Standard Holdings LLC, Green Standard Cultivation LLC and Green Standard, Inc. (collectively, “Green Standard” or “GSI”) to acquire the assets of Green Standard (Notes 10 and 16 f.), the Company entered into a line of credit note with GSI (the “Green Standard Note”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to make advances to Green Standard in connection with the Michigan cultivation and operational expenses in an aggregate principal amount, not to exceed at any one time, up to $14,700.

The Green Standard Note initially bore interest at a rate of 2.7% per annum and was payable no later than the earlier of three years from the Green Standard Note issuance date or earlier based on certain triggering events.

On May 19, 2020, in conjunction with the amending agreement to acquire GSI, the Company amended the terms of the Green Standard Note to reduce the principal amount available not to exceed at any one-time outstanding balances of $7,500 and to increase the interest rate to 5% per annum.

On June 30, 2022, the Company terminated its acquisition agreement with GSI and discontinued its operation in Michigan and wrote off the Green Standard Note receivable, resulting in a loss from discontinued operations of $4,932 (Notes 10 and 22).

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Green Standard Note receivable for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021, is as follows:

10. DEPOSIT (INVESTMENT)

Green Standard

On October 8, 2018, Cansortium Holdings LLC entered into an agreement with Green Standard to acquire the cultivation, production and retail licenses applied for by Green Standard Cultivation LLC, Green Standard Processing LLC and Green Standard Retail LLC, for an aggregate purchase price of $7,500 payable through the issuance of 2,727,273 units of Cansortium Holdings LLC at a price equal to $2.75 dollars per shares (Notes 13 and 16), subject to forfeiture as follows: (a) 1,000,000 shares would be forfeited if regulatory approval of the twelve Class C licenses was not received prior to December 31, 2019; (b) 727,273 units would be forfeited if $1,000 of retail sales were not achieved in Michigan by the Company or its affiliates on or before January 1, 2021; and (c) the remaining 1,000,000 units would be forfeited if $2,000 of retail sales were not achieved in Michigan by the Company and/or its affiliates on or prior to January 1, 2022; provided, however, that with respect to (b) and (c), if the Company and/or its affiliates fails to open one dispensary in Michigan prior to January 1, 2020, the sales threshold requirements would be based on wholesale sales in Michigan by the Company and/or its affiliates to third-party retail locations (the “Original Agreement”). The Original Agreement required that the 2,727,273 units of Cansortium Holdings, LLC, which were subsequently exchanged into a like number of shares of the Company in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “Issued Shares”), have a value of $10,000 on March 31, 2020. If the valuation of Issued Shares on March 31, 2020 was not at least $10,000, the Company was required to pay additional cash or share consideration to bring the total acquisition value to $10,000.

On May 19, 2020, the Company amended and restated the Original Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Michigan Agreement”) to add Cansortium Michigan, LLC, the Company's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, as the buyer and provide that Green Standard shareholders will receive $10,000 in aggregate consideration to consist of common shares and proportionate voting shares exchangeable into an aggregate of 2,727,269 common shares of the Company, which shares were escrowed until May 15, 2021, plus cash consideration for the difference between the fair value of a common share (as valued per the agreement) and total purchase price of $10,000,000 to be generated by profits from Green Standard's Michigan business. The same number of shares of the Company that were previously issued to Green Standard shareholders and subject to vesting conditions were returned to treasury for cancellation and removal of the equity price guarantee that existed as through May 19, 2021.

On June 30 2022, the Company terminated the Amended and Restated Michigan Agreement and all obligations of the Company thereunder and discontinued its operation in Michigan, writing off its deposit in Green Standard, and resulting in a loss from discontinued operations of $2,727 (Note 5, 22).

13. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the equity price guarantee derivative liabilities from the time of issuance and during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and the year ended December 31, 2021, are as follows:

Price Guarantees are recorded as a liability measured at fair value on the condensed interim unaudited consolidated statement of financial position. In determining the fair value of the price guarantee, these liabilities are marked–to–market at each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded in the condensed interim unaudited consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss.

Fluent Servicing Acquisition

In connection with the acquisition of the remaining interest of Fluent Servicing on August 15, 2018, the Company issued 4,400,000 membership interest units of Cansortium Holdings LLC that were exchanged into 4,400,000 common shares of the Company subject to a price floor of $2.75 (“Equity Price Guarantee”), expiring on March 21, 2021.

On January 16, 2020, the Company completed the restructuring of its then existing promissory note issued in connection with the acquisition of Fluent Servicing ( the “Amended Note”), as well as the terms pertaining to the Equity Price Guarantee, by reducing the price floor from $2.75 to $0.65 per share for the 4,400,000 common shares originally issued and agreeing to transfer to the seller, Can Endeavour LLC (“Can Endeavour”), an additional 14,215,385 common shares (or equivalent proportionate voting shares), subject to a price floor of $0.65 per share that expires on May 23, 2023.

13. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES (Continued)

The Company used a Monte‐Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the Equity Price Guarantee derivative liability. This is a Level 3 recurring fair value measurement. The key Level 3 inputs used by management to determine the fair value are the expected future volatility in the price of the Company’s shares and the expected life of the Equity Price Guarantee. The Company believes that a 1 % difference in the inputs used for this fair value measurement would not cause a material difference to the fair value amount.

On May 6, 2021, the Company satisfied its obligations under the Amended Note payable dated January 16, 2020, in the principal amount of $12,933 to Can Endeavour. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Note, Can Endeavour elected to convert the principal amount of the Amended Note into 21,555,483 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.60 per share. The common shares have been issued by the Company to Can Endeavour and all accrued interest on the Amended Note has been repaid in cash. Accordingly, the Company has satisfied its obligations under the Amended Note.

The following range of assumptions were used to value the Equity Price Guarantee derivative liability during the periods ended March 31, 2021, April 30, 2021, December 31, 2021, March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30,2022:

14. NOTES PAYABLE (Continued)

(b) Senior Secured Term Loan (the “Term Loan”)

On April 29, 2021, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Term Loan in the amount of $71,000 (the “$71M Term Loan”). The $71M Term Loan bears interest of 13% per annum, payable quarterly, with a maturity date of April 29, 2025. In connection with the transaction, 12.5 million warrants with an exercise price of $1.20 were issued to certain participants in the Term Loan. Subject to certain conditions of the $71M Term Loan, the Company has the ability to prepay the $71M Term Loan as well as to increase the $71M Term Loan by $20 million. The Company assessed the prepayment option and determined that it is closely related as the exercise price of the option approximates the amortized cost of the note, and as such did not recognize a derivative instrument. The warrants had a down-round protection feature applicable for the first 60 days after the issuance of the warrants, which reduced the exercise price in the event the Company issued shares during the period for less than the exercise price.

As a result, the warrants failed fixed-for-fixed criteria and were accounted for as a derivative liability for the first 60 days accounted for at FVTPL. The Company valued the warrants at $11,207 based on the following assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model: exercise price of $1.20, underlying share price of $1.20, expected life of 4 years, risk-free interest rate of 0.77% and annualized volatility of 113%.

The Company incurred a total of $4,944 of transactions in relation to the $71M Term Loan. The Company allocated $4,164 of transaction costs to the debt and immediately expensed $780 allocated to the warrants. The fair value of the debt component was measured as the residual value of $52,659 following the deduction of the warrants value and the transaction costs from the total proceeds received of $68,030.

As part of the $71M Term Loan, the Company is required to be in compliance with the following financial covenants:

  • Minimum liquidity of $4,000 as at September 30, 2022

  • Minimum debt service coverage ratio of 2.5x.

On June 28, 2021, the down-round protection feature expired triggering the warrants to meet fixed-for-fixed criteria and the Company accounted for the warrants as equity instruments. The Company revalued the warrants at $9,018 with a gain of $2,189 recognized on the change in fair value and reclassified the outstanding balance to warrants in equity. The Company valued the warrants at $9,018 based on the following assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model: exercise price of $1.20, underlying share price of $1.01, expected life of 3.84 years, risk-free interest rate of 0.87% and annualized volatility of 113%.

On May 6, 2022 and June 6, 2022, the Company completed repayments of the $71M Term Loan in the aggregate amount of $3,418, incurring in a loss on debt settlement of $1,136. As of September 30, 2022, the principal amount outstanding under the $71M Term Loan was $65,817 and unamortized debt issuance costs was $13,578. As of December 31, 2021, the principal amount outstanding under the $71M Term Loan was $66,235 and unamortized debt issuance costs was $15,918.

As of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the $71M Term Loan.

(c) Equipment Loan

As of September 30, 2020, notes payable balance is collateralized by equipment purchased, bearing interest ranging of 0% per annum, maturing through August 2026.

As of December 31, 2021, notes payable balance is collateralized by equipment purchased, bearing interest ranging of 12% per annum, maturing through July 2024.

On July 25, 2022, the Company settled litigation related to a consulting agreement entered into with Uriah’s Urban Farms, Inc. on January 1, 2019 (the “Uriah Consulting Agreement”).

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(a) Contingencies

The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of local and state regulation. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on its operations, or losses of permits that could result in the Company ceasing operations. While management of the Company believes that the Company is in compliance with applicable local and state regulation as of September 30, 2022, medical marijuana regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations. As a result, the Company may be subject to regulatory fines, penalties, or restrictions in the future.

(b) Claims and Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2022, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s operations, except for the claims disclosed below. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.

On April 26, 2021, MXY Holdings, LLC and its affiliates (collectively "MXY") filed suit in Florida claiming breach by the Company of the Management Services Agreement ("MSA") in an amount not less than $2,500. The terms of the MSA provided MXY with a fee for management consulting services, which services were supposed to include the creation and implementation of management plans and solutions, the provision of MXY personnel with industry expertise, and intellectual property. MXY's refusal or inability to materially deliver on its obligations prompted the Company to consider termination of the MSA and the Company sent MXY a default notice on July 8, 2020.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivable, note receivable, deposits, trade payable and accrued liabilities, derivative liabilities, lease obligations and notes payable.

Financial Assets

  • (i) Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of deposits held in financial institutions and cash on hand.

Financial Liabilities

  • (i) Loans are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, which are classified as non-current assets.

  • (ii) Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise convertible notes payable that are convertible to share capital at either the option of the holder or upon consummation of a qualifying gopublic transaction. The liability component of the compound financial instruments is initially recognized as the difference between the fair value of the derivative liability (i.e., conversion feature) and the fair value of the convertible notes payable. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and the derivate liability is re-measured with subsequent changes in fair value.

  • (iii) Other financial liabilities include the Company's trade payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable . The effective interest method is used to calculate the amortized cost of a financial liability and allocates interest income over the corresponding period. The effective interest rate is the rate that is used to discount estimated future cash receipts or payments over the expected life of the financial asset or liability.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the reliability of the inputs to fair value measurements. The three levels of hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

There have been no transfers between fair value levels during the year.

The carrying values of financial instruments as of September 30, 2022 are summarized in the following table:

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

Financial Risk Management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board mitigates these risks by assessing, monitoring, and approving the Company’s risk management processes:

(a) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure as of September 30, 2022 is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivable and note receivable. All cash is placed with major U.S. financial institutions. Credit risk from due from trade receivable and note receivable arises from the possibility that amounts due become uncollectible.

(b) Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the future cash flows or the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market conditions.

(i) Other Price Risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk. The Company is not

significantly exposed to other price risk with respect to its financial instruments, as their fair values and future cash flows are not impacted materially by fluctuations in market prices.

(ii) Currency Risk

The consolidated operating results and consolidated financial position of the Company are reported in U.S. dollars. Some of the Company’s financial transactions are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time as it deems its foreign currency exposure to be nominal.

(iii) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s financial debts have fixed rates of interest and therefore expose the Company to a limited interest rate fair value risk.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

(c) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due.

The Company had the following contractual obligations as of September 30, 2022:

----- End of picture text -----

(d) Regulatory Risk

Notwithstanding that most of the states have legalized medical marijuana, there has been no change in U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the marijuana industry. Given that U.S. federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there is a strong argument that banks cannot accept for deposit funds from businesses involved with the marijuana industry. Consequently, businesses involved in the marijuana industry often have difficulty accessing the U.S. banking system and traditional financing sources. The inability to open bank accounts with certain institutions may make it difficult to operate the businesses of the Company and leaves their cash holdings vulnerable.

Because the cannabis industry remains illegal under U.S. federal law, any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry which are either used in the course of conducting such business, or are the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture. Even if the owner of the property was never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which, with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.

21. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s capital management objectives are to maintain financial flexibility in order to pursue its strategy of organic growth and to provide returns to its shareholders. The Company defines capital as the aggregate of its capital stock and borrowings.

Total managed capital is as follows:

Notes payable
Share capital
September 30,
December 31,

2021
56,056
$ 54,293
$ 180,792
180,657
236,848
$ 234,950
$

The Company manages its capital structure in accordance with changes in economic conditions. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may elect to issue or repay financial liabilities, issue shares, repurchase shares, pay dividends or undertake any other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis. There were no material changes to this approach during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

22. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In June 2022, the Company terminated the Amended and Restated Michigan Agreement and all of the Company’s obligations thereunder, discontinued its operation in Michigan, writing off the Green Standard Note receivable (Note 5), GSI deposit (Note 10) and other receivables and property and equipment of $4,932, $2,727, $225, respectively, related to GSI resulting in a loss from discontinued operations of $7,884.

In June 2022, the Company exited its Homestead Florida cultivation facility writing off certain receivables, property and equipment, which resulted a loss from discontinued operations of $688.

23. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 11, 2022, Patricia Fonseca has resigned as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") of the Company. Until the position is finalized by a permanent CFO, Liora Boudin, Corporate Controller of the Company since 2020, has been appointed as interim CFO.
