Goodwill - December 31, 2019 and 2020
−Removed: Goodwill is tested for impairment annually

−Removed: The valuation date for the
−Removed: Company annual impairment testing is December 31.
−Removed: On this date, the Company performed a qualitative test to determine whether it
−Removed: is necessary to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test.
−Removed: After assessing the totality of the events
−Removed: and circumstances surrounding the performance and outlook of Red Barn and Arizona entities the Company determined that it is more
−Removed: likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount.
−Removed: As such, the first and second steps of the
−Removed: goodwill impairment test are unnecessary, and no impairment charge was taken.
−Removed: On December 31, 2019, the Company compared
−Removed: the current fair value of each reporting unit to the net book value, including goodwill.
−Removed: The Company utilized a discounted cash
−Removed: flow model (“ DCF model ”) to estimate the current fair value of reporting units, as management believes forecasted
−Removed: operating cash flows are the best indicator of current fair value.
−Removed: A number of significant assumptions and estimates were involved
−Removed: in the preparation of DCF models including future revenues and operating margin growth, the weighted-average cost of capital of

−Removed: of the Red Barn and Elephant Head Farms reporting units exceeded their current fair values.
−Removed: Accordingly, the second step of the
−Removed: goodwill impairment test (“ Step 2 ”) was performed to determine if an impairment existed and the amount of goodwill
−Removed: impairment to record, if any.
−Removed: Step 2 compared
−Removed: the net book value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the implied fair value of that goodwill.
−Removed: The implied fair value
−Removed: of goodwill represents the excess of fair value of the reporting units over the fair value amounts assigned to all of the assets
−Removed: and liabilities of the reporting unit if it were to be acquired in a hypothetical business combination and the current fair value
−Removed: of the reporting unit represented the purchase price.
−Removed: The result was that the net book value of two reporting units’ goodwill
−Removed: exceeded the implied fair values.
−Removed: Accordingly, an impairment charge of $8,538,414 was recorded (Elephant Head Farm:
−Removed: As a result of
−Removed: the impairment, the difference between the carrying value of the reporting unit and its fair value (typically referred to as “headroom”)
−Removed: is smaller at the time of acquisition for Elephant Head Farm.
−Removed: Accordingly, a relatively small decrease in reporting unit fair value
−Removed: can trigger an impairment test which could potentially result in an additional impairment charge.
−Removed: During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company acquired
−Removed: cannabis licenses in Arizona, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Rhode Island.
−Removed: The fair value allocated to a license is
