1A. RISK FACTORS
There
have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 21, 2025, except as set forth below.
We have incurred
significant operating and net losses and anticipate that we will continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.
The
Company has incurred net losses of $7.1 million and $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the
six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company used $7.9 million and $0.4 million in operating activities, respectively.
Our
ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon successful execution of management’s intended plan over the next twelve
months to improve our liquidity and profitability, which includes, without limitation:
■
Further reducing operating
costs expense by taking additional restructuring actions to align cost with revenue
■
Increasing revenue by introducing
new products and acquiring new customers.
■
Execute on strategic partnerships
accretive to margins and operating cash
■
Seeking additional capital
through the issuance of equity securities or obtaining debt financing.
There
can be no assurance that any such measures will be successful. If we are not successful in improving our liquidity position and the profitability
of our operations, we may need to consider all strategic alternatives, including seeking additional debt or equity capital, reducing
or delaying our business activities and strategic initiatives, or selling assets, other strategic transactions and/or other measures,
including receivership or, to the extent available, bankruptcy protection. In addition, the perception that we may not be able to continue
as a going concern may cause vendors and customers to choose not to do business with us due to concerns about our ability to meet our
contractual obligations. If we seek additional financing to fund our operations and there remains substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern, our financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding to us on commercially reasonable
terms or at all. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this going
concern uncertainty. Such adjustments could be material.

We
have failed, and may continue to fail, to meet the listing standards of Nasdaq, and as a result our Class A common stock may become delisted,
which could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity of our Class A common stock.
If
we fail to continue to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, such as the corporate governance or public float requirements,
or the minimum closing bid price requirement, Nasdaq will take steps to de-list our Class A common stock. As a result of several factors,
including but not limited to our financial performance, market sentiment about the cannabis industry, volatility in the financial markets
generally due to the tightening of monetary policy by the Board of Governors of the United States Federal Reserve Bank (the “Federal
Reserve”) and other geopolitical events, events such as the ongoing wars around the world, the per share price of our Class A common
stock has declined below the minimum bid price threshold required for continued listing. Such a de-listing would likely have a negative
effect on the price of our Class A common stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our Class A common stock when you wish
to do so, as well as adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and obtain additional financing in the future.
On
May 5, 2025, Greenlane Holdings, Inc. received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock
Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), stating that based on its review of the Company’s public filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), its staff has determined to delist the Company’s securities pursuant to its
discretionary authority under Listing Rule 5101. Only July 29 , 2025, after a
hearing with the Nasdaq Hearings Board, the Company was notified that the “Company had demonstrated compliance with Listing
Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”) and satisfied the conditions of the Hearings Panel’s decision dated May 30,
2025. Although the Company has regained compliance with the referenced concern, based on the facts underlying the public interest
concern raised by Staff and the Company’s history of repeated bid price compliance issues, the Panel imposed a one-year
Discretionary Panel Monitor pursuant to its discretion under Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(A).
On July 29, 2025, Greenlane Holdings,
Inc. received a notification letter from the Listing qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, that the Company has demonstrated
compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”) and satisfied the conditions of the Hearings Panel’s
(“Panel”) decision dated May 30, 2025 (the “Decision”).
Nasdaq will continue to monitor
Greenlane Holdings, Inc.’s continued compliance with the Bid Price Rule and other Nasdaq Rules.
New
tariffs and the evolving trade policy dispute between the United States and China may adversely affect our business.
In
2018, the United States imposed significant tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from a number of countries, including China. These
tariffs and the evolving trade policy dispute between the United States and China may have a significant impact on the industries in
which we participate. Many of the products we sell, including without limitation, certain vaporizer products, aluminum grinders, paper
products and plastic products, are subject to tariffs and such tariffs, along with resultant price increases, may negatively impact our
pricing and customer demand for these products. In March and April 2025, the US announced a series of additional special tariffs. The
additional special tariffs coupled with tariffs already in effect as of the date of this filing include at least a 145% tariff on substantially
all products of Chinese origin. Some of these special tariffs on products of Chinese origin have been temporarily paused at 30%. A “trade
war” between the United States and China or other governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements or policies
has the potential to adversely impact demand for our products, our costs, customers, suppliers and/or the United States economy or certain
sectors thereof and, thus, to adversely impact our businesses and results of operations.
