+Added: The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
+Added: Incremental Borrowing Rate (Leases)
+Added: Description of the Matter
+Added: As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s reported right-of-use assets, current lease liabilities and long-term lease liabilities, utilize discount rates to calculate the estimated present value of future lease payments for all leases under ASC Topic 842 at the lease commencement date, and the lessee is required to remeasure its lease liability and adjust the related right-of-use asset upon any lease modifications not accounted for as a separate contract.
+Added: Since the Company’s lease does not provide an implicit rate, management utilized a third-party valuation specialist to assist in estimating the incremental borrowing rates used in its present value calculation, which required subjectivity.
+Added: incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.
+Added: The Company’s current operating lease had a lease commencement date in May 2020, and a lease modification in December 2020.
+Added: As of the lease commencement date on May 2020, the incremental borrowing rate used to determine the operating lease liability was 22.8%.
+Added: As of the lease modification date in December 2020, the incremental borrowing rate was 20.0%.
+Added: Auditing management’s assessment of its incremental borrowing rate is highly subjective and judgmental as the Company has no collateralized outstanding debt nor committed credit facilities, secured or otherwise, that would have comparable collateral or similar terms as their underlying lease.
+Added: Based on the level of management judgment, we have determined the incremental borrowing rate to be a critical audit matter.
+Added: This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our valuation specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimation of the incremental borrowing rate.
+Added: How we Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
+Added: With the assistance of our valuation specialists, our audit procedures included, amongst others:
+Added: ● We obtained an understanding of management’s process in regards to the methodology used and the factors considered around the inputs, sources of data used and assumptions and estimates made in determining the Company’s incremental borrowing rates, including those over management’s review of its third-party specialist valuation report.
+Added: ● We reviewed the contractual terms of the original lease agreement and the modified lease agreement to ensure the commencement date and modification date, any lease term extensions and/or early termination clauses were properly considered in determining the appropriate lease term for calculating the incremental borrowing rates.
+Added: ● We evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation methods and assumptions used by management and the Company’s valuation specialist to estimate the incremental borrowing rates for borrowing amounts and terms comparable to their outstanding leases.
+Added: ● We performed a sensitivity analysis on incremental borrowing rates used to determine the impact rate changes could have on the present value calculation of the Company’s operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability.
+Added: Acquisition Date Fair Value of Trade Name Intangible Asset
+Added: Description of the Matter
+Added: As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, on May 13, 2020, the Company acquired Dalton Adventures, LLC in a business combination.
+Added: As part of the transaction, the Company acquired fixed assets, inventory, a cultivation license and the trade name of the business, SevenFive Farm.
+Added: Due to the complexity in determining fair value, management utilized a third-party valuation specialist to assist in calculating the acquisition date fair value of the trade name intangible asset.
+Added: The acquisition date fair value of $1.0 million, which was determined using the relief from royalty method, was allocated to the acquired trade name intangible asset.
+Added: Auditing management’s assessment of the acquisition date fair value of the trade name intangible asset is highly subjective and judgmental.
+Added: Based on the level of management judgment, we have determined the evaluation of the acquisition date fair value of the trade name intangible asset to be a critical audit matter.
+Added: Testing the assumptions regarding future revenue growth rates and discount rate, which were used to determine the fair value, involved a high degree of subjectivity, auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our valuation specialist, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimation of the acquisition date fair value of the trade name intangible asset.
+Added: How we Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
+Added: With the assistance of our valuation specialists, our audit procedures included, amongst others:
+Added: ● We obtained an understanding of management’s process with regards to the methodology used, and the factors considered around the inputs, sources of data used, assumptions and estimates used in the relief from royalty method to determine the acquisition date fair value of the trade name intangible asset, including those over management’s review of its third-party specialist valuation report.
+Added: ● We tested the mathematical accuracy of the underlying schedules used in the valuation report to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the reports.
+Added: ● We evaluated the Company’s future revenue growth rates by comparing them to historical results to ensure the reasonableness of these forecasts.
+Added: ● We assessed the appropriateness of the overall approach and use of the relief from royalty method as the overall approach to determining the fair value of the trade name.
+Added: ● We evaluated the reasonableness of the methodology and assumptions used by the specialist to determine the discount and royalty rates utilized to value the trade name intangible asset.

+Added: On May 31, 2019 we received gross proceeds of $ 3 million by issuing three million shares of our common stock and three million warrants (“2019 Warrants”) to purchase shares of our common stock (“2019 Units”) in a registered direct offering for $ 1.00 per 2019 Unit (collectively defined as the “2019 Capital Raise”).
The 2019 Warrants, issued with the 2019 Capital Raise, are accounted for as a derivative liability.
The 2019 Warrant agreements contain a cash settlement provision whereby the holders could settle the warrants for cash based on the Black-Scholes value, upon certain fundamental transactions, as defined in the 2019 Warrant agreement, that are considered outside of the control of management, such as a change of control.

+Added: We received $ 90,000 in cash for the exercise and booked an adjustment to the derivative liability of $ 82,241 as a result of the transaction.
