Summary of significant accounting policies
(a)
Basis of presentation
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) of the Company and its subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year ended December 31, 2024, or any other interim or future periods.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 14, 2024 (the "Annual Report"). There were no significant changes to the policies disclosed in Note 2 of the summary of significant accounting policies of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 in the Company's Annual Report.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value as described herein.
The Company previously concluded that substantial doubt existed as to its ability to continue as a going concern primarily due to the Company's current liabilities exceeding its current assets related to its loans maturing within the current year. On August 1, 2024, the Company entered into a four-year $140,000 senior secured term loan with an initial draw of $114,000 used to retire the majority of its loans coming due within the next year and a delayed draw of $26,000, expected to occur on September 30, 2024 which will be used to retire the Chicago Atlantic Term Loan resulting in positive net working capital for the Company (see Note 25).
Following the retiring and financing of the Company’s loans coming due within the next year, along with its ability to identify access to future capital, and continued improvement in cash flow from the Company's consolidated operations, management has determined that substantial doubt no longer exists in the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Specifically, (Gain) loss on disposal of fixed assets has been reclassified out of Impairment of property and equipment and right of use assets and into Other operating (income) expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Consolidation
The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest by evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity (“VOE”) or a variable interest entity (“VIE”).
In connection with the listing of the Common Shares on the TSX, the Company reorganized its ownership structure to segregate the Company’s Canadian retail operations from TerrAscend's cultivation and manufacturing operations in the United States (the "Reorganization"). Following the completion of the Reorganization, the Company owns 95% of its Canadian retail business. The Company continues to consolidate both its Canadian and U.S. cannabis operations under two different consolidation models.
Subsequent to the Reorganization, all operations in the United States have a functional currency of the U.S. dollar ("USD"). Canadian operations continue to have a functional currency of the Canadian dollar ("CAD").
Voting Interest Entities
A VOE is an entity in which (1) the total equity investment at risk is deemed sufficient to absorb the expected losses of the entity, (2) the at-risk equity holders, as a group, have all of the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and (3) the entity is structured with substantive voting rights. The Company consolidates the Canadian operations under a VOE model based on the controlling financial interest obtained through Common Shares with substantive voting rights.
Variable Interest Entities
A VIE is an entity that lacks one or more characteristics of a controlling financial interest defined under the voting interest model. The Company consolidates VIE when it has a variable interest that provide it with (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (power) and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE (benefits).
In connection with the Reorganization, TerrAscend issued and sold, on a private placement basis, Class A shares in the capital of TerrAscend ("Class A Shares") for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,000 to an investor ("Investment"). See Note 10 for accounting treatment of the Class A Shares. Following the closing of the Investment, the Class B shares ("Class B Shares") in the capital of TerrAscend held by the Company, representing all of the issued and outstanding Class B shares, were automatically exchanged for non-voting, non-participating exchangeable shares in the capital of TerrAscend ("Non-Voting Shares"), representing approximately 99.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of TerrAscend on an as-converted basis. As a result of the limited rights associated with Non-Voting Shares that the Company holds following the closing of the Investment, the Company and TerrAscend entered into a protection agreement dated April 18, 2023 ("Protection Agreement"). The Protection Agreement provides for certain negative covenants in order to preserve the value of the Non-Voting Shares until such time as the Non-Voting Shares are converted into Class A Shares.
The Issuer determined that TerrAscend is a VIE, as all of the Company’s U.S. activities continue to be conducted on behalf of the Company which has disproportionately few voting rights. After conducting an analysis of the following VIE factors; purpose and design of the VIE, the Protection Agreement in place, the structure of the Company's board of directors (the "Board"), and substantive kick-out rights of the holders of the Class A Shares, it was determined that the Company has the power to direct the activities of TerrAscend. In addition, given the structure of the Class A Shares where all of the losses and substantially all of the benefits of TerrAscend are absorbed by the Company, the Company consolidates as the primary beneficiary in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, Consolidation.
The Company's U.S. operations are consolidated through the VIE model. Therefore, substantially all of the Company's current assets, non-current assets, current liabilities and non-current liabilities are consolidated through the VIE model. The Company's assets and liabilities that are not consolidated through the VIE model include convertible debt, and derivative liability. The Company also consolidates a minimal amount of assets and liabilities within Canada. See Note 21 for more information.

The total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the market price of the Common Shares on the exercise date and the price paid by the option holder to exercise the option) related to stock options exercised is presented below:
| For the Three Months Ended | For the Six Months Ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Exercised | $5 | $— | $5 | $551 |
The fair value of the various stock options granted were estimated using the Black-Scholes Model with the following assumptions:
| June 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Common Stock Price of TerrAscend Corp. | 1.91 - 2.89 | 1.71 - 2.81 |
| Volatility | 77.70% - 78.31% | 77.79% - 80.16% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.18% - 3.76% | 2.85% - 4.26% |
| Expected life (years) | 4.01 - 10.01 | 9.78 - 10.01 |
| Dividend yield | 0.00% | 0.00% |
| Forfeiture rate | 26.11% | 26.11% |
Volatility was estimated by using the historical volatility of the Company's stock price. The expected life in years represents the period of time that the options issued are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. treasury bond issues with a remaining term approximately equal to the expected life of the options. Dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The total estimated fair value of stock options that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $4,594 and $5,563, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, there was $7,658 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options.

(a)
Loans payable: During the year ended December 31, 2020, a small number of related persons, which consisted of key management of the Company, participated in the Ilera term loan (Note 10), which makesup $142 and $159 of the total loan principal balance at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The Company has computed its provision for income taxes based on the actual effective tax rate for the quarter as the Company believes this is the best estimate for the annual effective tax rate. The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and Canada.
Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s uncertain tax positions and determining the provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes benefits from uncertain tax positions based on the cumulative probability method whereby the largest benefit with a cumulative probability of greater than 50% is recorded. An uncertain tax position is not recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits for the period presented:
| Balance, beginning of period | $84,485 |
|---|---|
| Increases based on tax positions related to prior years | 32,976 |
| Additions based on tax positions related to the current year | 17,248 |
| Expirations of applicable statutes of limitations | - |
| Settlements with tax authorities | - |
| Ending carrying amount | $134,709 |
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of uncertain tax liabilities, inclusive of accruals for related penalties and interest, for the period presented:
| Balance, beginning of period | $77,084 |
|---|---|

| Additions based on tax positions related to the current year | 16,081 |
| Additions based on refunds received related to prior years | 8,371 |
| Reclass of tax payments on deposit | 1,108 |

The Company had an unrecognized tax benefits of $134,709 and $84,485 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The increase in uncertain tax positions is primarily due to legal interpretations that challenge the Company's tax liability under the Code (“280E Tax Position”). The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will increase over the next 12 months due to its 280E Tax Position. Of the unrecognized tax benefits amounts, $12,772 and $10,459 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, is unrelated to its 280E Tax Position. The unrecognized tax liabilities are combined with other long term liabilities of $1,130 and $4,667 as at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets.
Related to its 280E Tax Position, the Company has filed the majority of its amended federal and state returns for tax years 2020 through 2022.
