+Added: Value Measures
+Added: Fair Value Measurements
+Added: Fair value is defined as the exchange
+Added: price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market
+Added: for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
+Added: Valuation techniques used to
+Added: measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
+Added: Financial assets and liabilities
+Added: carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the
+Added: first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
+Added: ● Level 1—Quoted
+Added: prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
+Added: ● Level 2—Observable
+Added: inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices
+Added: in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated
+Added: by observable market data.
+Added: ● Level 3—Unobservable
+Added: inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities,
+Added: including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.
+Added: the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of
+Added: fair value requires more judgment.
+Added: Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest
+Added: for instruments categorized in Level 3.
+Added: A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest
+Added: level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
+Added: The carrying amounts of cash and cash
+Added: equivalents, accounts receivable, available for sales securities, accounts payable and all other current liabilities approximate fair
+Added: values due to their short-term nature.
+Added: The fair value of notes receivable approximates the outstanding balance and are reviewed for impairment
+Added: at least annually.
+Added: The fair value of impaired notes receivable is determined based on estimated future payments discounted back to present
+Added: value using the notes effective interest rate.

−Removed: We Evaluate Our Operations
−Removed: earn our sales primarily from the sale of hydroponic garden products, including nutrients, growing media, advanced indoor and
−Removed: greenhouse lighting, ventilation systems, and accessories for hydroponic gardening, as well as other indoor and outdoor growing
−Removed: Revenue on product sales is recognized upon delivery or shipment.
−Removed: Customer deposits and lay away sales are not reported
−Removed: as revenue until final payment is received and the merchandise has been delivery.
−Removed: sales depend on the type of products we sell and the mix between consumables and non-consumables.
−Removed: Due to their nature, purchases
−Removed: of consumables results in repeat orders as customers seek to replenish their supplies.
−Removed: In 2020, approximately 60% of our sales
−Removed: were consumables.
−Removed: Generally, in markets where legalization of plant-based medicines is recent and licensors are ramping up their
−Removed: grow operations, there are more purchases of non-consumables for build-outs compared to purchases of consumables.
−Removed: In more mature
−Removed: markets, there are generally more purchases of consumables than non-consumables.
−Removed: Our sales are also impacted by our customer mix
−Removed: of commercial and non-commercial customers, as larger commercial customers may receive volume discounts.
−Removed: More than a majority
−Removed: of our sales is derived from our commercial customers.
−Removed: calculate gross profit as sales less cost of goods sold.
−Removed: Cost of goods sold consists of cost of product sold and freight.
−Removed: profit excludes depreciation and amortization, which is presented separately in our consolidated statements of operations.
−Removed: overall gross profit margin varies with our product mix, in particular the percentage of sales of consumable products versus non-consumables,
−Removed: such as in connection with build-outs, during a particular quarter.
−Removed: In addition, our customer mix impacts gross profit margin
−Removed: due to larger commercial customers receiving discounts.
−Removed: expenses are comprised of store operations, primarily payroll, rent and utilities, and corporate overhead.
−Removed: Corporate overhead
−Removed: is comprised of share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative costs and corporate salaries

−Removed: General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) consist mainly of advertising and promotions,
−Removed: travel & entertainment, professional fees and insurance.
−Removed: G&A as a percentage of sales does not increase commensurate with
−Removed: an increase in sales.
−Removed: Our largest expenses are payroll and rent and these are largely fixed and not variable.
−Removed: Our advertising
−Removed: and marketing expenses are controllable and variable depending on the particular market.
−Removed: assess the organic growth of our sales on a same-store basis.
−Removed: We believe that our assessment on a same-store basis represents
−Removed: an important indicator of comparative financial results and provides relevant information to assess our performance.
−Removed: New and acquired
−Removed: stores become eligible for inclusion in the comparable store base if the store has been under our ownership for the entire period
−Removed: in the same-store base periods for which we are including the store.
−Removed: For example, our same store sales for the three months and

−Removed: for the three months ended September 30, 2019 an increase of approximately $25.2 million or 164%.

−Removed: September 30, 2019.
−Removed: The increase in cost of goods sold is directly attributable to the increase in the number of stores open during

−Removed: discussed in more detail above.
−Removed: profit was approximately $14.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to approximately $6.5 million for
−Removed: the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of approximately $8.1 million or 124%.

−Removed: and e-commerce accounted for approximately 29.3% of overall sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to 27.3% for
