Overview of the Company
Goodness Growth is a physician-led, science-focused company and IP developer focused on building long-term, sustainable value by bringing the best of medicine, science, and engineering to the cannabis industry. With our core operations strategically located in four limited-license markets through our state-licensed subsidiaries, we cultivate and manufacture cannabis products and distribute these products through our growing network of Green Goods ® and other retail dispensaries we own or operate as well as to third-party dispensaries in the markets in which our subsidiaries hold operating licenses.
In addition to developing and maintaining cannabis businesses in our core limited-license jurisdictions, our team of scientists, engineers and attorneys also are focused on driving innovation and securing meaningful and protectable intellectual property. We believe this dual-path approach to long-term value creation enhances the potential for shareholder returns.
Our wholly-owned subsidiary Resurgent Biosciences, Inc. is a non-plant-touching entity that was formed with the intent of commercializing our intellectual property portfolio. This portfolio includes two patents for harm reduction in tobacco products as well as many other patent-pending opportunities that we believe could have potential to create additional value for shareholders through partnerships or other strategic alternatives.
While we are not currently focused on substantial capital investment or expansion outside of our core markets, we do own or effectively control additional non-core medical cannabis licenses or operations that may present opportunities in the future.
On January 31, 2022, we entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with Verano Holdings Corp. (“Verano”), pursuant to which Verano will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Goodness Growth
24
pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Arrangement”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, holders of Goodness Growth Shares will receive 0.22652 of a subordinate voting share of Verano (each a “Verano Subordinate Voting Share”), subject to adjustment as described below (the “Exchange Ratio”), for each Subordinate Voting Share held, and 22.652 Verano Subordinate Voting Shares for each Multiple Voting Share and Super Voting Share held, immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement. The Arrangement is subject to the approvals of the Supreme Court of British Columbia; receipt of U.S. regulatory approvals, and other customary conditions of closing
COVID-19
Since being declared a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, the spread of COVID-19 has severely impacted many local economies around the globe. Due to COVID-19, governments have imposed restrictions on travel and business operations, temporarily closed businesses, and implemented quarantines and shelter-in-place orders. Consequently, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted global economic activity, caused significant volatility and disruption in global financial markets, and generally introduced significant uncertainty and unpredictability throughout the world. Governments and central banks have responded with monetary and fiscal interventions to stabilize economic conditions.
The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the effectiveness of government and central bank responses, remains unclear at this time. During 2021 and thus far in 2022, the Company’s revenue, gross profit and operating income were not negatively impacted by COVID-19 and the Company generally maintained the consistency of its operations. However, the uncertain nature of the spread of COVID-19 may impact its business operations for reasons including the potential quarantine of Goodness Growth employees or those of its supply chain partners.

Revenue
We derived our revenue from cultivating, processing, and distributing cannabis products through our eighteen dispensaries in four states and our wholesale sales to third parties in four states. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, 81% of our revenue was generated from retail dispensaries and 19% from wholesale business. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, 79% of our revenue was generated from retail business and 21% from wholesale business.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, Minnesota operations contributed approximately 48% of revenues, New York contributed 18%, Arizona contributed 6%, New Mexico contributed 11%, and Maryland contributed 17%. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, Minnesota operations contributed approximately 38% of revenues, New York contributed 31%, Arizona contributed 14%, New Mexico contributed 5%, and Maryland contributed 12%.
Revenue for the three-months ended June 30, 2022 was $21,090,148, an increase of $6,859,248 or 48% compared to revenue of $14,230,900 for the three-months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to increased revenue contributions from the retail businesses in Minnesota and New Mexico of $4.6 million and $1.7 million respectively, partially offset by the lack of second quarter 2022 retail revenues in Arizona, which was divested in the fourth quarter of 2021. Key revenue drivers are the increased patient demand in Minnesota driven by the addition of cannabis flower to the Minnesota medical program in March of 2022, and the commencement of recreational marijuana sales in New Mexico on April 1, 2022.
Retail revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $17,041,492 an increase of $5,739,995 or 51% compared to retail revenue of $11,301,497 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to revenue contributions from Minnesota and New Mexico.
25
Wholesale revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $4,048,656, an increase of $1,119,253 compared to wholesale revenue of $2,929,403 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in revenue contributions was primarily due to increased wholesale demand in Maryland, and the sale of our remaining Arizona inventory.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
Gross profit reflects total net revenue less cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold represents the costs attributable to producing bulk materials and finished goods, which includes direct materials, labor, and certain indirect costs such as depreciation, insurance and utilities. Cannabis costs are affected by various state regulations that limit the sourcing and procurement of cannabis product, which may create fluctuations in gross profit over comparative periods as the regulatory environment changes.
Cost of goods sold are determined from costs related to the cultivation and processing of cannabis and cannabis-derived products as well as the cost of finished goods inventory purchased from third parties.
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $10,723,122, an increase of $3,405,111 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $7,318,011, driven by higher production volume and sales.
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $10,367,026, representing a gross margin of 49%. This is compared to gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $6,912,889 or a 49% gross margin. The increase in gross profit was driven by higher sales, while maintaining margins.
Our current production capacity has not been fully realized and we expect future gross profits to increase with revenue growth reflective of higher demand, increased product output and new product development. However, we expect gradual price compression as markets mature that could place downward pressure on our retail and wholesale gross margins.
26
Total Expenses
Total expenses other than the cost of goods sold consist of selling costs to support customer relationships, marketing, and branding activities. It also includes a significant investment in the corporate infrastructure required to support ongoing business.
Selling costs generally correlate to revenue. In the short-term as a percentage of sales, we expect selling costs to remain relatively flat. However, as positive regulatory developments in our core markets occur, we expect selling costs as a percentage of sales to decrease via growth in our retail and wholesale channels.
General and administrative expenses also include costs incurred at the corporate offices, primarily related to personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, and other professional service costs, as well as corporate insurance, legal and professional fees associated with being a publicly traded company. We expect general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales to decrease as we realize revenue growth organically and through positive regulatory developments in our core markets.
Total expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $10,058,841 a decrease of $101,610 compared to total expenses of $10,160,451 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in total expenses was attributable to a decrease in stock-based compensation expenses of $310,072.
Operating Income (Loss) before Income Taxes
Operating income (loss) before other income (expense) and provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $308,185 an increase of $3,555,747 compared to an operating loss of ($3,247,562) for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Total Other Income (Expense)
Total other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $(5,446,261), a change of $2,591,848 compared to other expense of $(2,854,413) for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This change is primarily attributable to increased interest expense driven by the Credit Facility.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income tax expense is recognized based on the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year-end. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, tax expense totaled $1,045,000 compared to a tax expense of $910,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in tax expense is primarily attributable to increased gross profit partially offset the recognition of deferred tax assets related to property, plant, and equipment impairments.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, 79% of the revenue was generated from retail dispensaries and 21% from wholesale business.

The increase is primarily attributable to increased revenue contributions from the retail businesses in Minnesota, New Mexico, and Maryland, partially offset by the lack of Arizona retail revenues, which was divested in the fourth quarter of 2021. Key revenue drivers are the acquisition of the Charm City dispensary in Maryland in the fourth quarter of 2021, increased patient demand in Minnesota, which is the result of the addition of cannabis flower to the Minnesota medical program in March of 2022, and the and the commencement of recreational marijuana sales in New Mexico on April 1, 2022.
Retail revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $29,453,715, an increase of $7,769,098 or 36% compared to retail revenue of $21,684,617 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to revenue contributions from Minnesota, New Mexico, and Maryland, partially offset by the lack of Arizona retail revenues.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $23,873,016, an increase of $8,980,957 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $14,892,059, driven by higher production volume and sales.
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $12,855,704, representing a gross margin of 35%. This is compared to gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $12,528,730 or a 46% gross margin. The decrease in margin was driven by an increase in inventory valuation adjustments of $3,413,788 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. Excluding inventory valuation adjustments, margins were relatively flat. These inventory valuation adjustments were driven by substantial write downs of Arizona inventory to net realizable value.

However, we expect gradual price compression as markets mature that could place downward pressure on our retail and wholesale gross margins.

Liquidity, Financing Activities During the Period, and Capital Resources
We are an early-stage growth company. We are generating cash from sales and deploying our capital reserves to acquire and develop assets capable of producing additional revenues and earnings over both the immediate and near term. Capital reserves are being utilized for acquisitions in the medical and adult-use cannabis markets, for capital expenditures and improvements in existing facilities, product development and marketing, as well as customer, supplier, investor, and industry relations.
Current management forecasts and related assumptions support the view that we can adequately manage the operational needs of the business.
Credit Facility
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company signed a promissory note payable in the amount of $ 1,010,000 . The note bears interest at a rate of 15 % per annum with interest payments required on a monthly basis. Effective November 13, 2019, the Company’s promissory note payable in the amount of $ 1,010,000 was modified to increase the amount payable to $ 1,110,000 and extend the maturity date to December 31, 2021 . On December 28, 2021, the Company’s promissory note payable in the amount of $ 1,110,000 was modified to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2023 , and the Company paid off $ 60,000 in principal.
On March 25, 2021, the Company entered into a credit agreement for a senior secured delayed draw term loan with an aggregate principal amount of up to $46,000,000 (the “Credit Facility”), and executed a draw of $26,000,000 in principal. Net of fees and closing costs of $1,971,705, the Company received $24,028,295 of the first tranche on March 25, 2021. Additionally, the Company incurred fees and closing costs of $1,083,422 which were paid in cash. The unpaid principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate of (a) 13.625% per annum payable monthly in cash, and (b) 2.75% per annum paid in kind interest payable monthly. The Credit Facility matures on March 31, 2024.
On March 25, 2021, in connection with closing the Credit Facility, Goodness Growth issued (a) five year warrants to the agent and each lender to purchase an aggregate of 2,803,984 subordinate voting shares at an exercise price of C$3.50 per share, and (b) a five year warrant to the broker to purchase 233,665 subordinate voting shares at an exercise price of C$3.50 per share. Each warrant provides customary anti-dilution provisions. The fair value of these warrants at the time of issuance was $5,395,759 (Note 16) which is treated as a deferred financing cost.
30
On November 18, 2021, the Company and lender amended the Credit Facility to provide for an additional loan of $4,200,000 with a cash interest rate of 15% per annum and PIK interest of 2% and no warrants were issued in connection with this loan. Cash received net of $156,900 in financing costs was $4,043,100. Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company.
On January 31, 2022, we entered into a Third Amendment to our Credit Facility (the “Third Amendment”) providing for additional delayed draw term loans of up to $55 million (the “Delayed Draw Loans”). Subject to certain conditions to be satisfied prior to the initial funding thereunder, we may borrow a portion of the $55 million for working capital and other general corporate purposes and may borrow the remainder for other specific purposes, including relating to our ongoing expansion in New York. The Delayed Draw Loans have a maturity date of April 30, 2023 with an option to extend another 12 months for an additional fee of $1,375,000. The cash interest rate on the Delayed Draw Loans under the Third Amendment is equal to the U.S. prime rate plus 10.375%, with a minimum required rate of 13.375% per annum, in addition to paid-in-kind interest of 2.75% per annum. Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, Verano will reimburse us for all interest expenses related to the Third Amendment in excess of 10% per annum until the earlier of either the completion of the Arranagement or termination of the Arrangement Agreement.
On March 3, 2022, we drew $4,075,000 in principal debt from the Delayed Draw Loans. Proceeds received, net of deferred financing fees of $1,075,000, were $3,000,000. Additionally, we incurred $115,863 of third party legal fees related to the draw. We expect to be reimbursed by Verano for the $1,075,000 in deferred financing fees netted against the proceeds received pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, and as such these are fees are included in our receivables balance (Note 5) as of March 31, 2022.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company drew $14,000,000 in principal debt from the Delayed Draw Loans. Proceeds received, net of deferred financing fees of $528,938, were $13,471,062.
Unless otherwise specified, all deferred financing costs are treated as a contra-liability, to be netted against the outstanding loan balance and amortized over the remaining life of the loan.
On November 19, 2021, we signed a promissory note payable in the amount of $2,000,000 in connection with the acquisition of Charm City Medicus, LLC (Note 3). The note bears an interest rate of 8% per annum with interest payments required due on the last day of each calendar quarter. The maturity date of the note is November 19, 2023, and the note is secured by 25% of the membership interests in Vireo Health of Charm City, LLC
Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $7.6 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease is primarily attributed to more favorable changes in working capital items.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreased property, plant, and equipment additions relative to the prior year quarter.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $7.3 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was principally due to the receipt of approximately $23 million in net proceeds from the Credit Facility in the first six months of 2021, compared to the receipt of approximately $16 million in net proceeds in the first six months of 2022.

Lease Transactions
As of June 30, 2022, we have entered into lease agreements for the use of buildings used in cultivation, production and/or sales of cannabis products in Arizona, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, and Puerto Rico.
The lease agreements for all of the retail space used for our dispensary operations are with third-party landlords and remaining duration ranges from 1 to 6 years. These agreements are short-term facility leases that require us to make monthly rent payments as well as funding common area costs, utilities and maintenance. In some cases, we have received tenant improvement funds to assist in the buildout of the space to meet our operating needs. As of June 30, 2022, we operated 18 retail locations secured under these agreements.
We have also entered into sale and leaseback arrangements for our cultivation and processing facilities in Minnesota and New York with a special-purpose real estate investment trust. These leases are long-term agreements that provide, among other things, funds to make certain improvements to the property that will significantly enhance production capacity and operational efficiency of the facility.
Excluding any contracts under one year in duration, the future minimum lease payments (principal and interest) on all our leases are as follows:
