For all other entities, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022.

Early adoption is permitted.

There was an immaterial impact upon adoption on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832):

Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance , which addresses that Current GAAP has no specific authoritative guidance on the accounting for, or the disclosure of, government assistance received by business entities.

The pronouncement and subsequent amendments require the following annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy:

1) Information about the nature of the transactions and the related accounting policy used to account for the transactions;

2) The line items on the balance sheet and income statement that are affected by the transactions, and the amounts applicable to each financial statement line item, 3) Significant terms and conditions of the transactions, including commitments and contingencies.

ASU 2021-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the updated standard will have on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40):Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing the separation 8 models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock with (1) cash conversion features, and (2) beneficial conversion features.

In addition, ASU 2020-06 enhances information transparency by making targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share guidance and amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions.

ASU 2020-06 is effective for emerging growth companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.

The Company will evaluate the impact of the pronouncement and determined if there is any impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements if preferred shares are issued in future periods.

There were no transfers between levels of the hierarchy during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

Stanley Brothers USA Holdings Purchase Option

The Monte Carlo valuation model considers multiple revenue and Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") outcomes for Stanley Brothers USA and other probabilities in assigning a fair value.

Primary assumptions utilized include financial projections of Stanley Brothers USA and the probability and timing of exercise.

The following additional assumptions are used in the model of the SBH Purchase Option:

Stanley Brothers USA Purchase Option $ — $ — $ 13,000 $ 13,000

There were no transfers between levels of the hierarchy during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

Stanley Brothers USA Purchase Option

In 2021, the Company entered into an option purchase agreement with Stanley Brothers USA.

The SBH Purchase Option was purchased for total consideration of $ 8,000 and has a five year term (extendable for an additional two years upon payment of additional consideration).

The SBH Purchase Option provides the Company the option to acquire all or substantially all the shares of Stanley Brothers USA on the earlier of February 26, 2025 and federal legalization of cannabis in the United States, or such earlier time as Stanley Brothers USA and the Company agree, at a purchase price to be determined at the time of exercise of the SBH Purchase Option.

Upon exercise of the SBH Purchase Option, the purchase price will be determined based on application of predetermined multiples of Stanley Brothers USA revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) measures.

The Company is not obligated to exercise the SBH Purchase Option.

As part of the SBH Purchase Option agreement, Stanley Brothers USA issued the Company a warrant exercisable to purchase 10 % of the outstanding Stanley Brothers USA shares and convertible securities that are considered in-the-money, subject to certain conditions and exclusions.

The warrant is exercisable at the Company's election for a nominal exercise price in the event the Company elects not to acquire all or substantially all shares of Stanley Brothers USA and expires 60 days after the expiration of the option.

The Company has elected the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825-10 guidance to record its SBH Purchase Option.

Under ASC 825-10, a business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.

The SBH Purchase Option is classified as a financial asset and is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes to fair value recognized in the statements of operations for the period.

The use of assumptions for the fair value determination includes a high degree of subjectivity and judgment using unobservable inputs (level 3 on the fair value hierarchy), which results in estimation uncertainty.

Changes in assumptions that reasonably could have been different at the reporting date may result in a higher or lower determination of fair value.

Changes in fair value measurements, if significant, may affect performance of cash flows.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, a $ 4,000 and $ 3,900 loss, respectively, related to the SBH Purchase Option was recognized as change in fair value of financial instruments and other in the statements of operations.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, a $ 5,730 and $ 4,900 gain, respectively, related to the SBH Purchase Option was recognized as change in fair value of financial instruments and other in the statements of operations.

Warrant Liabilities

The warrants offered during 2020 (the "2020 Share Offering Warrants") do not meet all of the criteria for equity classification as the warrants are denominated in Canadian dollars, which differs from the Company's functional currency.
