COVID-19 Pandemic InMarch 2020 , theWorld Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Despite being deemed as an essential retailer in its core markets, the Company has experienced a negative impact on sales in certain markets as a result of shelter-at-home orders, social distancing efforts, restrictions on the maximum allowable number of people within a retail establishment and declining tourism. Although the Company permanently closed one store as a result of COVID-19, certain markets, such asCalifornia andNevada , experienced a greater impact on sales due to reduced store hours and foot traffic in certain locations, as well as limits on the number of customers that may be in a store at any one time. Other markets, such asIllinois ,Florida andNew York have not been significantly impacted by COVID-19 and in some cases, stores in those markets have generated increased sales. Due to its strong vendor partnerships in each market, the Company has not experienced a significant impact to its supply chain in each market. At this time, it is unclear how long these measures may remain in place, what additional measures may be imposed, or when our operations will be restored to the levels that existed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

of its customers and associates, which may have the effect of discouraging
shopping or limiting the occupancy of our stores. These measures, and any
additional measures that have been and may continue to be taken in response to
the COVID-19 pandemic, have substantially decreased and may continue to
decrease, the number of customers that visit our stores which has had, and will
likely continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. The ultimate magnitude of COVID-19,
including the extent of its overall impact on our financial and operational
results cannot be reasonably estimated at this time; however, the Company has
experienced significant declines in sales. The overall impact will depend on
the length of time that the pandemic continues, the extent to which it affects
our ability to raise capital, and the effect of governmental regulations
imposed in response to the pandemic as well as uncertainty regarding all of the
foregoing. At this time, it is unclear how long these measures may remain in
place, what additional measures maybe imposed, or when our operations will be
restored to the levels that existed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. TrendsMedMen is subject to various trends that could have a material impact on the Company, its financial performance and condition, and its future outlook. A deviation from expectations for these trends could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking information included in this MD&A and the Company's financial statements. These trends include, but are not limited to, the following:
? Liberalization of Cannabis Laws. The Company is reliant on the existing legal
and regulatory administration as to the sale and consumption of cannabis in the
states in which the Company operates not being repealed or overturned and on
the current approach to enforcement of federal laws by the federal government.
The Company is also reliant on the continuation of the trend toward increased
liberalization of cannabis laws throughout
adoption of medical cannabis regulations in states without cannabis programs
and the conversion of medical cannabis laws to recreational cannabis laws in
states with medical cannabis programs. Although the Company is focused on
with new opportunities to deploy capital and expand geographically. The
opportunity for geographic expansion is important because some jurisdictions
with existing cannabis programs limit the number of retail locations that can
be owned by a single entity.
? Popular Support for Cannabis Legalization. The Company is reliant on the
continuation of the trend toward increased popular support and acceptance of
cannabis legalization. This trend could change if there is new research
conducted that challenges the health benefits of cannabis or that calls into
question its safety or efficacy or significant product recalls or broad-based
deleterious health effects. This trend could also be influenced by a shift in
the political climate, or by a decision of
enforce federal laws that make cannabis illegal. Such a change in popular
support could undermine the trend toward cannabis legalization and possibly
lead states with existing cannabis programs to roll them back, either of which
would negatively impact the Company's growth plans.
61
? Balanced Supply and Demand in States. The Company is reliant on the maintenance
of a balance between supply and demand in the various states in which it
operates cannabis retail stores. Federal law provides that cannabis and
cannabis products may not be transported across state lines in the United
States. As a result, all cannabis consumed in a state must be grown and
produced in that same state. This dynamic could make it more difficult, in the
short term, to maintain a balance between supply and demand. If excess
cultivation and production capacity is created in any given state and this is
not matched by increased demand in that state, then this could exert downward
pressure on the retail price for products. A substantial increase in retail
licenses offered by state authorities in any given state could result in
increased competition and exert downward pressure on the retail pricing. If
cultivation and production in a state fails to match demand, there could be
insufficient supply of product in a state to meet demand, causing retail
revenue in that state to fall or stagnate, including due to retail locations
closing while supply is increased.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue For the fiscal year endedJune 26, 2021 , the Company derives the majority of its revenue from direct sales to customers in its retail stores. Approximately 61% of revenue was generated from operations inCalifornia , with the remaining 39% from operations inArizona ,Nevada ,Illinois andFlorida . Revenue through retail stores is recognized upon delivery of the goods to the customer and when collection is reasonably assured, net of an estimated allowance for sales returns.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
Gross profit is revenue less cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold includes the costs directly attributable to product sales and includes amounts paid for finished goods, such as flower, edibles and concentrates, packaging and other supplies, fees for services and processing, and allocated overhead, such as allocations of rent, administrative salaries, utilities and related costs. 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. Gross margin measures gross profit as a percentage of revenue. Expenses General and administrative expenses represent costs incurred inMedMen's corporate offices, primarily related to personnel costs, including salaries, incentive compensation, benefits, share-based compensation and professional service costs, including legal and accounting. Sales and marketing expenses consist of selling costs to support customer relationships and to deliver product to retail stores. It also includes an investment in marketing and brand activities and the corporate infrastructure required to support the ongoing business. Depreciation and amortization expenses represent the portion of the Company's definite-lived property, plant and equipment and intangible assets that is being used up during the reporting period. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration expense represent the realized gain or loss upon the settlement of contingent liabilities related to the Company's business acquisitions and the unrealized gain or loss on the changes in fair value of such outstanding liabilities upon remeasurement at each reporting period. Impairment expense represents the permanent reduction of an assets carrying value down to fair value and may include inventory, property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets, goodwill and other assets. Other operating income and expenses consist of the gain or loss on disposal of assets from assets held for sale and discontinued operations, restructuring fees or reorganization expenses, gain or loss on settlement of accounts payable, and gain on lease
terminations. Income Taxes
MedMen is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates and, consequently, income tax expense is a function of the allocation of taxable income by jurisdiction and the various activities that impact the timing of taxable events. As the Company operates in the legal cannabis industry, the Company is subject to the limits of Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E and a higher effective tax rate than most industries. However, the state ofCalifornia does not conform to IRC Section 280E and, accordingly, the Company deducts all operating expenses on its California Franchise Tax Returns. 62

Revenue for the year endedJune 26, 2021 was$145.1 million , a decrease of$10.2 million , or 7%, compared to revenue of$155.3 million for the year endedJune 27, 2020 . The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 on overall retail traffic and tourism as further discussed below. During the fiscal year endedJune 26, 2021 ,MedMen had 26 active retail locations in the states ofCalifornia ,New York ,Nevada ,Arizona ,Illinois andFlorida , of which four retail locations located within the state ofNew York were classified as discontinued operations, compared to 26 active retail locations for the same period in the prior year. SinceJune 27, 2020 , the Company opened theirFort Lauderdale andMiami locations inFlorida as well as theirEmeryville location inCalifornia and temporarily closed five retail locations in the state ofFlorida to redirect inventory from itsEustis facility to its highest performing stores. The Company also divested three retail locations inIllinois andArizona sinceJune 27, 2020 to raise non-dilutive financing through the sale of non-core assets. During the year endedJune 26, 2021 , the Company contemplated the sale of four retail stores inNew York and entered into a definitive investment agreement to sell a controlling interest, subject to regulatory approval. As ofJune 26, 2021 , the Company had 22 active retail locations related to continuing operations. 63
The decrease in revenue was primarily related to the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which affected the Company's operations for the majority of the current fiscal year compared to the latter four months of the prior fiscal year. The Company experienced decreased sales in certain locations withinCalifornia due to reduced foot traffic as a result of business and occupancy restrictions and a slowdown in tourism. Retail revenue for the year endedJune 26, 2021 inCalifornia decreased$21.6 million compared to the year endedJune 27, 2020 . InFlorida andIllinois , revenues have not been significantly impacted by COVID-19 with retail locations in those markets having increased sales by$5.9 million and$4.2 million , respectively, during the year endedJune 26, 2021 . During the year endedJune 26, 2021 , the Company continues to enhance its retail experience through better product assortment, customer service and purchasing options with an emphasis on curbside pickup and delivery in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the majority of the fiscal year endedJune 26, 2021 , the Company maintained modified store operations based onCenters for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and local ordinances which limit in-store traffic for certain locations and consequently increased focus on direct-to-consumer delivery, including curbside pickup.MedMen expects to continue offering a variety of purchasing options for its customers to navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic, which is expected to increase revenues in the coming periods.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
Cost of goods sold for the fiscal year endedJune 26, 2021 was$77.8 million , a decrease of$22.1 million , or 22%, compared with$99.9 million of cost of goods sold for fiscal year endedJune 27, 2020 . The decrease in cost of goods sold is primarily driven by the decrease in cultivation and manufacturing facilities. For the year endedJune 26, 2021 , the Company had 26 active retail locations in the states ofCalifornia ,New York ,Nevada ,Arizona ,Illinois andFlorida , of which four retail locations located within the state ofNew York were classified as discontinued operations, compared to 26 active retail locations for the same period in the prior year. Gross profit for the year endedJune 26, 2021 was$67.3 million , representing a gross margin of 46%, compared with gross profit of$55.4 million , representing a gross margin of 36%, for the year endedJune 27, 2020 . The increase in gross margin is primarily due to the Company's focus on retail profitability and improvements in its supply chain and cultivation facilities. During the year endedJune 26, 2021 , the Company strategically closed five retail locations inFlorida to provide better and consistent supply for its patients. While these dispensaries remain temporarily closed as ofJune 26, 2021 , the Company saw improved plant yields and quality driving improved margins. For the year endedJune 26, 2021 ,MedMen operated five cultivation and production facilities, of which one facility located inNew York was classified as discontinued operations, compared to six facilities in the comparative prior period. InNovember 2020 , the Company completed the sale of one facility inArizona (Tempe ) as a result of the Company's plan to divest non-core assets. During the year endedJune 26, 2021 , the Company also reduced the cash burn associated with cultivation and manufacturing operations inCalifornia andNevada and continues to evaluate strategic partnerships for these facilities.MedMen expects margins to improve in the coming periods as the Company restructures certain operations and divests licenses in non-core markets. Total Expenses
Total expenses for the fiscal year endedJune 26, 2021 were$134.9 million , a decrease of$352.8 million , or 72%, compared to total expenses of$487.7 million for the fiscal year endedJune 27, 2020 , which represents 93% of revenue for the fiscal year endedJune 26, 2021 compared to 314% of revenue for the fiscal year endedJune 27, 2020 . The decrease in total expenses was attributable to the factors described below. General and administrative expenses for the year endedJune 26, 2021 andJune 27, 2020 were$124.6 million and$192.7 million , respectively, a decrease of$68.1 million , or 35%. General and administrative expenses have decreased primarily due to the Company's focus on right-sizing its corporate infrastructure by reducing company-wide SG&A while improving efficiency. Key drivers of the decrease in general and administrative expenses include overall corporate cost savings, strategic headcount reductions across various departments, and elimination of non-core functions and overhead in several departments. The decrease of$68.1 million compared to the year endedJune 27, 2020 was primarily related to a decrease in payroll and payroll related expenses of$29.4 million , a decrease of$5.5 million in licenses, fees and taxes, a decrease in professional fees of$3.9 million and a decrease in stock compensation expense of$6.8 million . Sales and marketing expenses for the year endedJune 26, 2021 andJune 27, 2020 were$1.1 million and$10.7 million , respectively, a decrease of$9.6 million , or 90%. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses is primarily attributed to the reduction in marketing and sales related spending due to the implementation of the Company's cost-cutting strategy. During the current fiscal year, the Company maintained its focus on budget allocation to marketing and redefined its marketing initiatives to target its changing customer base. The Company shifted its approach from third-party listing services to integration efforts with its point-of-sale systems to increase awareness in local customers and improve the customer experience while providing higher returns. Traditional and digital paid media marketing campaign of$7.2 million in the comparative prior period was reduced to$0.1 million during the year endedJune 26, 2021 . 64
Depreciation and amortization for the year endedJune 26, 2021 andJune 27, 2020 was$31.1 million and$37.7 million , respectively, a decrease of$6.6 million , or 18%. The decrease is attributable to the reduction in capital expenditures through a slow-down in new store buildouts of the Company's operations through acquisitions and a delay of capital-intensive projects during the current fiscal year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company's turnaround plan. Realized and unrealized changes in fair value of contingent consideration for the year endedJune 26, 2021 andJune 27, 2020 was a loss of$0.4 million and$9.0 million , respectively, a decrease of$8.6 million , or 96%. The contingent consideration is related to an acquisition of aCalifornia dispensary license during the year endedJune 27, 2020 wherein the expiration of the lock-up period occurred during the fiscal second quarter of 2021. Impairment expense for the year endedJune 26, 2021 andJune 27, 2020 was$2.4 million and$246.7 million , respectively, a decrease of$244.3 million , or 99%. During the year endedJune 26, 2021 , the Company recorded impairment on an intellectual property asset in the amount of$1.6 million . During the comparative period, the Company recognized an impairment expense of$143.0 million on property and equipment,$39.0 million on intangible assets,$33.5 million on goodwill,$19.8 million on operating lease right-of-use assets,$5.9 million on other assets, and$5.6 million on assets held for sale. Other operating income for the year endedJune 26, 2021 andJune 27, 2020 was$24.7 million and$9.1 million , respectively, an increase of$15.6 million , or 171%. The change was primarily attributable to the$16.3 million gain related to the lease deferral with the REIT during the fiscal first quarter of 2021 as the decrease in present value of lease payments was greater than the remaining net asset balance of finance lease assets. The Company also recognized a$2.9 million gain on lease terminations inFlorida andIllinois during the fiscal second quarter of 2021. Such gains were offset by restructuring fees of$5.0 million during the year endedJune 26, 2021 . Total Other Expense Total other expense for the fiscal year endedJune 26, 2021 was$76.0 million , an increase of$10.8 million compared to total other expense of$65.2 million , or 17%, for the fiscal year endedJune 27, 2020 . The increase in total other expense was primarily a result of the decrease of loss on extinguishment of debt which totaled$43.8 million during the year endedJune 27, 2020 primarily related to the First and Third Amendment of the Convertible Facility, compared to a net loss on extinguishment of debt of$16.1 million during the current period of which$10.1 million was due to the Fourth Amendment of the Convertible Facility and$4.0 million was related to a commitment to issue warrants in connection with the Unsecured Convertible Facility. This decrease was offset by an increase of amortization of debt discount of$20.1 million compared to the year endedJune 27, 2020 as a result of the Company's higher debt balance. During the current period, proceeds from issuances of the Convertible Facility totaled$14.6 million and proceeds from issuances of notes payable, including the 2020 Term Loan and the Unsecured Convertible Facility, totaled$15.8 million . Additionally, the Company saw a$7.9 million decrease in gains on investments and other assets and a$7.9 million decrease in changes in fair value of derivatives which are based on the closing price of the Company's warrants related to bought deals traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker symbol "MMEN.WT" which have stabilized during the year endedJune 26, 2021 , compared to the same period prior.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income tax expense for the fiscal year endedJune 26, 2021 was$1.8 million compared to the provision benefit for income tax benefit of$40.9 million for the year endedJune 27, 2020 , primarily due to the Company reporting increased expenses subject to IRC Section 280E relative to pre-tax book loss. The Company incurred a large amount of expenses that were not deductible due to IRC Section 280E limitations which resulted in income tax expense being incurred while there were pre-tax losses for the year endedJune 26, 2021 . Net Loss Net loss from continuing operations for the year endedJune 26, 2021 was$145.4 million , a decrease of$311.2 million , or 68%, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of$456.6 million for the year endedJune 27, 2020 . The decrease in net loss from continuing operations was mainly attributable to the decrease impairment expense recognized during the current fiscal year and the decrease in general and administrative expenses and sales and marketing expenses as a direct result of the Company's turnaround plan which includes efforts to optimize SG&A and right-size the Company's corporate infrastructure. Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest for the year endedJune 26, 2021 was$33.5 million , resulting in net loss of$124.1 million attributable to the shareholders ofMedMen Enterprises Inc. compared to$247.2 million for the
year endedJune 27, 2020 . 65 Three Months EndedJune 26, 2021 Compared to Three Months EndedJune 27, 2020 Three Months Ended June 26, June 27, ($ in Millions) 2021 2020 $ Change % Change Revenue$ 42.0 $ 27.3 $ 14.7 54 % Cost of Goods Sold 22.3 16.3 6.0 37 % Gross Profit 19.7 11.0 8.7 79 % Expenses: General and Administrative 32.9 38.6 (5.7 ) (15 )% Sales and Marketing 0.6 0.2 0.4 200 % Depreciation and Amortization 6.1 15.0 (8.9 ) (59 )% Realized and Unrealized Changes in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration - 0.5 (0.5 ) (100 )% Impairment Expense - 229.8 (229.8 ) (100 )% Other Operating Expense (Income) 1.8 (7.5 )

For the three months endedJune 26, 2021 ,MedMen had 26 active retail locations in the states ofCalifornia ,New York ,Nevada ,Arizona ,Illinois andFlorida , of which four were located within the state ofNew York were classified as discontinued operations, which was consistent with the same period in the prior year. During the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021, five retail locations in the state ofFlorida remained temporarily closed in order to redirect inventory from itsEustis cultivation facility to its highest performing stores and thus excluded from the number of active retail locations as ofJune 26, 2021 . As ofJune 26, 2021 , the Company had 22 active retail locations related to continuing operations. The increase in revenue was primarily related to the Company's continued initiatives in light of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the gradual reopening across the country. During the three months endedJune 26, 2021 , the Company continued to enhance its retail experience through better product assortment, customer service and purchasing options with an emphasis on curbside pickup and delivery which have proven to be effective service enhancements in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Previously modified store operations based onCenters for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and local ordinances, which limit in-store traffic for certain locations, began to operate at a less restrictive scale during the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021 as COVID-related restrictions began to lift, resulting in increased tourism and normalizing retail traffic levels.MedMen expects to continue offering a variety of purchasing options for its customers to navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic, which is expected to continue to increase revenues in the coming periods. As the Company's key markets continue to recover from the pandemic,MedMen also expects to utilize their marketing communications and revised assortment to drive and serve retail traffic at a much higher volume and rate. 66
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
Cost of goods sold for the three months endedJune 26 , 2021was$22.3 million , an increase of$6.0 million , or 37%, compared with$16.3 million of cost of goods sold for the three months endedJune 27, 2020 . Gross profit for the three months endedJune 26, 2021 was$19.7 million , representing a gross margin of 47%, compared with gross profit of$11.0 million , representing a gross margin of 40%, for the three months endedJune 27, 2020 . The increase in gross margin is primarily due to the Company's retail optimization efforts in which improvements in the Company's product sourcing and favorable changes to pricing and payment terms in key vendor agreements resulted in improved margins for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021. In addition, the Company's shrink-to-grow plan inFlorida continues to drive results in which manufacturing consistency and cultivation yields has produced additional margins. For the three months endedJune 26, 2021 , the Company had 26 active retail locations in the states ofCalifornia ,New York ,Nevada ,Arizona ,Illinois andFlorida , of which four were located within the state ofNew York were classified as discontinued operations, compared to 26 active retail locations for the comparative prior period.MedMen operated five cultivation and production facilities in the states ofNevada ,California ,New York ,Florida andArizona , of which one facility located inNew York was classified as discontinued operations, compared to six cultivation facilities for the three months endedJune 27, 2020 . During the fiscal fourth quarter of 2020, five retail locations inFlorida were temporarily closed in order to shift supply levels from itsEustis cultivation facility to the Company's highest-performing stores inFlorida which remain closed as ofJune 26, 2021 . As of the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021, the Company continues to evaluate strategic partnerships for its cultivation and production facilities inCalifornia andNevada where the Company continues to incur significant fixed costs.MedMen expects margins to improve in the coming periods as the Company restructures certain operations and divests licenses in non-core markets. Total Expenses
Total expenses for the three months endedJune 26, 2021 were$41.4 million , a decrease of$235.2 million , or 85%, compared to total expenses of$276.6 million for the three months endedJune 27, 2020 , which represents 99% of revenue for the three months endedJune 26, 2021 , compared to 1,013% of revenue for the three months endedJune 27, 2020 . The decrease in total expenses was attributable to the factors described below. General and administrative expenses for the three months endedJune 26, 2021 andJune 27, 2020 were$32.9 million and$38.6 million , respectively, a decrease of$5.7 million , or 15%. General and administrative expenses have decreased primarily due to the Company's continued efforts to reduce company-wide selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"). Key drivers of the decrease in general and administrative expenses include overall corporate cost savings, strategic headcount reductions across various departments, and elimination of non-core functions and overhead in several departments, resulting in a decrease in deal costs of$5.6 million and a decrease in banking fee and charges of
$0.5 million . Sales and marketing expenses for the three months endedJune 26, 2021 andJune 27, 2020 were$0.6 million and$0.2 million , respectively, an increase of$0.4 million , or 200%. The increase in sales and marketing expenses is primarily attributed to an increase in marketing and promotions of$0.2 million and an increase in public relations expense of$0.1 million for the three months endedJune 26, 2021 compared to the same period prior. Depreciation and amortization for the three months endedJune 26, 2021 andJune 27, 2020 was$6.1 million and$15.0 million , respectively, a decrease of$8.9 million , or 59%. The decrease is attributable to the reduction in capital expenditures through a slow-down in new store buildouts of the Company's operations through acquisitions and a delay in capital-intensive projects throughout the fiscal year endedJune 26, 2021 , resulting in a decrease in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
Realized and unrealized changes in fair value of contingent consideration
remained generally consistent for the three months ended
Impairment expense for the three months endedJune 26, 2021 andJune 27, 2020 was nil and$229.8 million , respectively, a decrease of$229.8 million , or 100%. The Company did not identify indicators of impairment of its goodwill or long-lived assets during their annual impairment assessment during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021. In the prior year, the Company recognized a significant amount of impairment expense as a result of the economic and market conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the regulatory environment, which has been less volatile during the current period. Other operating expense (income) for the three months endedJune 26, 2021 was$1.8 million , a decrease of$9.3 million , or 124% from the income of$7.5 million for the three months endedJune 27, 2020 . During the three months endedJune 26, 2021 , the Company recognized$2.3 million of restructuring fees which was offset by a gain on disposal of assets held for sale of$1.6 million , a gain on disposal of assets of$0.2 million and a gain on settlement of accounts
payable of$0.3 million . 67 Total Other Expense Total other expense for the three months endedJune 26, 2021 was$20.0 million , an increase of$6.2 million , or 45%, compared to total other expense of$13.8 million for the three months endedJune 27, 2020 . The increase in total other expense was primarily attributable to the Company's higher debt balance as ofJune 26, 2021 which increased$26.6 million compared toJune 27, 2020 as a result of the 2020 Term Loan and the Unsecured Convertible Facility as well as issuances from the Convertible Facility. Accordingly, amortization of debt discount and loan origination fees of$10.2 million for the three months endedJune 26, 2021 increased by$8.8 million compared to$1.4 million for the three months endedJune 27, 2020 . This was offset by interest expense of$10.0 million during the three months endedJune 26, 2021 which decreased by$2.9 million compared to$12.9 million for the three months endedJune 27, 2020 . Provision for Income Taxes The provision for income tax benefit for the three months endedJune 26, 2021 was$0.3 million , a decrease of$17.7 million , or 102% compared to the provision for income tax expense of$17.4 million for the three months endedJune 27, 2020 , primarily attributable to an increase in expenses incurred during the three months endedJune 26, 2021 that carry deferred tax impacts resulting in no effect on the annual estimated tax rate relative to pre-tax book income. Net Loss Net loss from continuing operations for the three months endedJune 26, 2021 was$41.4 million , a decrease of$255.4 million , or 86%, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of$296.8 million for the three months endedJune 27, 2020 . The decrease in net loss from continuing operations was mainly attributable to the decrease of$229.8 million in impairment expense as described above. In addition, the Company's continued focus on cost efficiency within the corporate structure, which includes strategic headcount reductions, elimination of non-core functions and overhead in several departments, and renegotiation of ancillary cost to the business has resulted in additional cost savings during the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021. Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest for the three months endedJune 26, 2021 was$7.3 million , resulting in net loss of$38.9 million attributable to the shareholders ofMedMen Enterprises Inc. compared to$156.8 million for the three months
endedJune 27, 2020 . Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing financial measurements based on GAAP, the Company provides additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision-making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate the Company's financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures (collectively, the "non-GAAP financial measures") are: Adjusted Net Loss from Net Loss from Continuing Operations adjusted for Continuing Operations transaction costs, restructuring costs, share-based compensation, and other non-cash operating costs. This non-GAAP measure represents the profitability of the Company excluding unusual and infrequent expenditures and non-cash operating costs. EBITDA from Continuing Net Loss from Continuing Operations adjusted for Operations interest and financing costs, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. This non-GAAP measure represents the Company's current operating profitability and ability to generate cash flow. Adjusted EBITDA from EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) Continuing Operations adjusted for transaction costs, restructuring costs, share-based compensation, and other non-cash operating costs, such as changes in fair value of derivative liabilities and unrealized changes in fair value of investments. This non-GAAP measure represents the Company's current operating profitability and ability to generate cash flow excluding non-recurring, irregular or one-time expenditures in order improve comparability. Working Capital Current assets less current liabilities. This non-GAAP measure represents operating liquidity available to the Company. 68 Corporate SG&A Selling, general and administrative expenses related to the Company's corporate functions. This non-GAAP measure represents scalable expenditures that are not directly correlated with the Company's retail operations. Retail Revenue Consolidated revenue less non-retail revenue, such as cultivation and manufacturing revenue. This non-GAAP measure provides a standalone basis of the Company's performance as a cannabis retailer in theU.S. considering the Company's long-term viability is correlated with cash flows provided by or used in retail operations. Retail Cost of Goods Sold Consolidated cost of goods sold less non-retail cost of goods sold. This non-GAAP measure provides a standalone basis of the Company's performance as a cannabis retailer in theU.S. considering the Company's long-term viability is correlated with cash flows provided by or used in retail operations. Retail Gross Margin Retail Revenue (Non-GAAP) less the related Retail Cost of Goods Sold (Non-GAAP). Retail Gross Margin (Non-GAAP) is reconciled to consolidated gross margin as follows: consolidated revenue less non-retail revenue reduced by consolidated cost of goods sold less non-retail cost of goods sold. This non-GAAP measure provides a standalone basis of the Company's performance as a cannabis retailer in theU.S. considering the Company's long-term viability is correlated with cash flows provided by or used in retail operations. Retail Gross Margin Rate Retail Gross Margin (Non-GAAP) divided by Retail Revenue (Non-GAAP). Retail Gross Margin Rate (Non-GAAP) is reconciled to consolidated gross margin rate as follows: consolidated revenue less non-retail revenue reduced by consolidated cost of goods sold less non-retail cost of goods sold, divided by consolidated revenue less non-retail revenue. This non-GAAP measure provides a standalone basis of the Company's performance as a cannabis retailer in theU.S. considering the Company's long-term viability is correlated with cash flows provided by or used in retail operations. Retail Adjusted EBITDA Retail Gross Margin (Non-GAAP) less direct store Margin operating expenses, including rent, payroll, security, insurance, office supplies and payment processing fees, local cannabis and excise taxes, distribution expenses, and inventory adjustments. This non-GAAP measure provides a standalone basis of the Company's performance as a cannabis retailer in theU.S. considering the Company's long-term viability is correlated with cash flows provided by or used in retail operations. Retail Adjusted EBITDA Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP) divided by Margin Rate Retail Revenue (Non-GAAP), which is calculated as consolidated revenue less non-retail revenue. This non-GAAP measure provides a standalone basis of the Company's performance as a cannabis retailer in theU.S. considering the Company's long-term viability is correlated with cash flows provided by or used in retail operations.
In addition to providing financial measurements based on GAAP, the Company provides additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision-making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate the Company's financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures that are not defined under GAAP. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures assess the Company's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business, as they facilitate comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures and believes they enhance an investors' understanding of the Company's financial and operating performance from period to period. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to evaluate the Company's operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management. 69 In particular, the Company continues to make investments in its cannabis properties and management resources to better position the organization to achieve its strategic growth objectives which have resulted in outflows of economic resources. Accordingly, the Company uses these metrics to measure its core financial and operating performance for business planning purposes. In addition, the Company believes investors use both GAAP and non-GAAP measures to assess management's past and future decisions associated with its priorities and allocation of capital, as well as to analyze how the business operates in, or responds to, swings in economic cycles or to other events that impact the cannabis industry. However, these measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies in the Company's industry. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain material non-cash items and certain other adjustments the Company believes are not reflective of its ongoing operations and performance. These financial measures are not intended to represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or operating cash flows or as measures of liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under GAAP. For example, certain of these non-GAAP financial measures:
? exclude certain tax payments that may reduce cash available to the Company;
? do not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being
depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future;
? do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and
? do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to
service interest or principal payments on debt.
Other companies in the cannabis industry may calculate these measures differently than the Company does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Retail Performance Within the cannabis industry,MedMen is uniquely focused on the retail component of the value chain. For the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021, the Company is providing detail with respect to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") attributable to the Company's national retail operations to show how it is leveraging its retail footprint and strategically investing in the future. The table below highlights the Company's national Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP), which excludes corporate marketing expenses, distribution expenses, inventory adjustments, and local cannabis and excise taxes. Entity-wide Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) is presented in Item 7 "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

(3) Other non-retail operating expenses excluded from Retail Adjusted EBITDA

2021 primarily consist of transaction costs and restructuring costs of
million and
million and
EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP). Refer to Item 7
"Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
(4) For the current period, direct store operating expenses now includes local
taxes of
26, 2021 and
and excise taxes imposed by municipalities in which the Company has active
retail operations and vary by jurisdiction. Local taxes are not a cost
required to directly operate the Company's stores, but rather a byproduct of
retail operations. In addition, distribution expenses of
respectively, are also included in direct store operating expenses for the
current reporting period. Distribution expenses relate to additional porter
fees. Such expenses were presented as additional adjustments to arrive at
Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP) in prior periods and are now
presented within retail operating expenses for a condensed presentation of
Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP). The non-GAAP retail performance measures demonstrate the Company's four-wall margins which reflect the sales of the Company's retail operations relative to the direct costs required to operate such dispensaries. Retail revenue is related to net sales from the Company's stores, excluding non-retail revenue, such as cultivation and manufacturing revenue. Similarly, retail cost of goods sold and direct store operating expenses are directly related to the Company's retail operations. Non-Retail Revenue includes revenue from third-party wholesale sales. Non-Retail Cost of Goods Sold includes costs directly related to third-party wholesale sales produced by the Company's cultivation and production facilities, such as packaging, materials, payroll, rent, utilities, security, etc. While third-party sales were not significant for the fiscal quarter endedJune 26, 2021 , Non-Retail Cost of Goods Sold related to cultivation and wholesale operations was$3.9 million due to unallocated overages from increased production burn rate. Non-Retail Operating Expenses include ongoing costs related to the Company's cultivation and wholesale operations, corporate spending, and depreciation and amortization. Non-Retail EBITDA Margin reflects the gross margins of the Company's cultivation and wholesale operations excluding any related operating expenses. To determine the Company's four-wall margins, certain costs that do not directly support the Company's retail function are excluded from Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP). 71 For the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021, retail revenue was$40.7 million across the Company's continuing operations inCalifornia ,Nevada ,Arizona ,Illinois andFlorida . This represents a 20% increase, or$6.9 million , over the fiscal third quarter of 2021 of$33.8 million . The increase in retail revenue from continuing operations was driven primarily by increased consumer spending during the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021 wherein the number of COVID-19 cases nationwide declined and vaccines became available, allowing certain states to reopen and slowly lift restrictions. In particular, the gradual reopening inCalifornia during the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021, which is the largest market in which the Company operates in, resulted in an increase in retail revenue of$4.9 million compared to the prior quarter. Similarly inNevada ,Las Vegas is starting to return to normalcy with increased tourism during the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021 in which retail revenue increased$1.4 million compared to the fiscal third quarter of 2021. The Company expects traffic levels to normalize as the Company's key markets continue to recover from the pandemic. Retail Gross Margin Rate (Non-GAAP), which is Retail Gross Margin (Non-GAAP) divided by Retail Revenue (Non-GAAP), for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021 was 55% compared to the fiscal third quarter of 2021 of 56%. Retail Gross Margin (Non-GAAP) is Retail Revenue (Non-GAAP) less the related Retail Cost of Goods Sold (Non-GAAP). The Company had an aggregate Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin Rate (Non-GAAP), which is Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP) divided by Retail Revenue (Non-GAAP), of 22% for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021 which represents a decrease compared to the 24% realized in the fiscal third quarter of 2021 primarily due to direct store operating expenses which include, but are not limited to, rent, utilities, payroll and payroll related expenses, employee benefits, and security. Direct store operating expenses increased$2.8 million , or 26%, compared to the fiscal third quarter of 2021, primarily driven by higher general and administrative expenses and local tax adjustments during the current period. Corporate SG&A Corporate-level general and administrative expenses across various functions including Marketing, Legal, Retail Corporate, Technology, Accounting and Finance, Human Resources and Security (collectively referred to as "Corporate SG&A") are combined to account for a significant proportion of the Company's total general and administrative expenses. For the current reporting period, Corporate SG&A now includes pre-opening expenses of$4.7 million and$5.4 million for the fiscal quarter endedJune 26, 2021 andMarch 27, 2021 , respectively, which were presented as non-Corporate SG&A in prior periods. Pre-opening expenses is excluded from Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP) and thus more appropriately classified as Corporate SG&A.

Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP). Refer to Item 7 "Retail Performance" and notes
therein for further information. For the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021, Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) includes Corporate SG&A (Non-GAAP) of$16.8 million , representing an increase of$0.4 million , or 2%, from the$16.4 million that Corporate SG&A (Non-GAAP) contributed to Adjusted EBITDA Loss from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) in the fiscal third quarter of 2021. The increase was related to higher accounting and legal fees as well as salaries and benefits. 72

(2) Income tax effects to arrive at Adjusted Net Loss from Continuing Operations
(Non-GAAP) are related to temporary tax differences in which a future income
tax benefit exists, such as changes in fair value of investments, assets held
for sale and other assets, changes in fair value of contingent consideration,
gain/loss from disposal of assets, and impairment expense. The income tax
effect is calculated using the federal statutory rate of 21.0% and statutory
rate for the state in which the related asset is held or the transaction
occurs, most of which is inCalifornia with a statutory rate of 8.84%. 73 Adjusted Net Loss from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) represents the profitability of the Company excluding unusual and infrequent expenditures and non-cash operating costs. The change in Adjusted Net Loss from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) was primarily due to reductions in SG&A as a direct result of successful implementation of the Company's cost reduction initiatives. Accordingly, Adjusted Net Loss from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) improved in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the prior period. EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) represents the Company's current operating profitability and ability to generate cash flow and includes significant non-cash operating costs. Net Loss is adjusted for interest and financing costs as a direct result of debt financings, income taxes, and amortization and depreciation expense to arrive at EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP). Considering these adjustments, the Company had EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) of$(13.1) million and$(49.1) million for the three months and year endedJune 26, 2021 improved compared to the comparative prior periods. The change in EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) was primarily due to the impairments recognized during the 2020 fiscal year as a result of the economic and market conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and regulatory environment. For the three months and year endedJune 26, 2021 , the Company saw an improvement in Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) of$(9.7) million and$(46.0) million , respectively, compared to$(22.7) million and$(112.7) million for the three months and year endedJune 27, 2020 , respectively. The improvement is the direct result of the Company's turnaround progress and execution on their transition to growth during fiscal year 2021. The financial performance of the Company is expected to further improve as the Company has a clear path towards profitability, and coupled with significant deleveraging of its balance sheet, will reposition the Company for growth. Refer to Item 7 "Liquidity and Capital Resources"for further discussion of management's future outlook and executed strategic plan.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was$59.7 million for the fiscal year endedJune 26, 2021 , a decrease in$50.0 million , or 46%, compared to$109.7 million for the year endedJune 27, 2020 . The decrease in cash used was primarily due to implementation of the Company's cost rationalization strategy during the fiscal year endedJune 26, 2021 . Specifically, general and administrative expenses include corporate-level expenses across various functions including Marketing, Legal, Retail Corporate, Technology, Accounting and Finance, Human Resources and Security which are combined to account for a significant proportion of the Company's total general and administrative expenses. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the majority of the fiscal year endedJune 26, 2021 , versus the last fourth months of the fiscal year endedJune 27, 2020 , which resulted in a decrease in traffic levels due to retail occupancy restrictions and a significant slowdown in tourism.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was$11.2 million for the fiscal year endedJune 26, 2021 , a decrease of$30.5 million , or 158%, compared to$19.3 million used for the year endedJune 27, 2020 . The increase in net cash provided in investing activities was primarily due to the Company's strategic plan to limit cash outlays and divest non-core assets. Net cash was positively impacted by a decrease in purchases of property and equipment of$50.6 million , offset by a decrease in proceeds from the sale of investments of$12.5 million and a decrease in proceeds from the sale of property of$9.3 million . 74
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was$50.7 million for the fiscal year endedJune 26, 2021 , a decrease of$56.4 million , or 53%, compared to$107.1 million for the year endedJune 27, 2020 . The decrease in change of net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to a decrease of$33.7 million in the issuance of equity instruments for cash and a decrease of$35.4 million in proceeds from the credit facility withGotham Green Partners . The decrease in debt and equity financings was offset by an increase in principal repayments of the credit facility withGotham Green Partners in the amount of$8.0 million and a decrease of$14.0 million in principal repayments on notes payable compared to the same period in the prior year.

During the fiscal year endedJune 26, 2021 , the Company stabilized liquidity by successfully accessing the equity and debt capital markets to properly position the Company for growth. In addition, the Company has the support of certain lenders, includingGotham Green Partners ,Stable Road Capital and affiliates, and its most significant landlord,Treehouse Real Estate Investment Trust , as a part of its financial restructuring and turnaround plan to support the expansion of the Company's retail footprint. OnJuly 2, 2020 , the Company amended the Convertible Facility and 2018 Term Loan wherein all interest payable throughJune 2021 will be paid-in-kind. Further, onJuly 2, 2020 , the Company also amended its lease terms with the REIT wherein a portion of the total current monthly base rent will be deferred for the 36-month period betweenJuly 1, 2020 andJuly 1, 2023 . The$81.8 million increase in working capital deficit was primarily related to an increase of$24.7 million assets held for sale related to the Company's divestiture of non-core assets during the year endedJune 26, 2021 , an increase of$2.3 million in cash as described above, and a decrease of$3.1 million in due from related party as individuals previously identified as related party as ofJune 27, 2020 were no longer deemed related as ofJune 26, 2021 . The net increase in current liabilities was due to the an increase of$87.3 million in current notes payable primarily related the senior secured term loan withHankey Capital LLC , an increase of$18.1 million in liabilities held for sale, and a$21.4 million increase in income taxes payable, offset by a decrease of$19.5 million of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company's working capital will be significantly impacted by continued growth in retail operations, operationalizing existing licenses, and the success of the Company's cost-cutting measures. The ability to fund working capital needs will also be dependent on the Company's ability to raise additional debt and equity financing.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements of the business, including operationalizing existing licenses, capital expenditures, debt service and acquisitions. The primary source of liquidity has primarily been private and/or public financing and to a lesser extent by cash generated from sales. The ability to fund operations, to make planned capital expenditures, to execute on the growth/acquisition strategy, to make scheduled debt and rent payments and to repay or refinance indebtedness depends on the Company's future operating performance and cash flows, which are subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond its control. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due. 75 As ofJune 26, 2021 , the Company had$11.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and$191.9 million of working capital deficit, compared to$9.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and$110.1 million of working capital deficit as ofJune 27, 2020 . For the fiscal year endedJune 26, 2021 , the Company's monthly burn rate, which was calculated as cash spent per month in operating activities, was approximately$5.0 million compared to a monthly burn rate of approximately$9.1 million for the fiscal year endedJune 27, 2020 . During the fiscal year endingJune 26, 2021 , management continued their efforts of executing the Company's strategic plan to limit significant cash outlays and reduce the overall cash burn. As ofJune 26, 2021 , cash generated from ongoing operations may not be sufficient to fund operations and, in particular, to fund the Company's growth strategy in the short-term or long-term. During the fiscal year endedJune 26, 2021 , management focused its efforts on a disciplined turnaround plan which has allowed the Company's story to turn from one of turnaround to one of growth. Subsequent toJune 26, 2021 , management preserved its strategic plan, which includes, but is not limited to, capital raised subsequent to year-end, monitoring of corporate-level expenses, and rationalization of capital expenditures to correlate to our new store opening strategy. The Company maintains its focus on the optimization of SG&A expenses while improving overall efficiency and attracting world-class talent. Revisions to its dynamic pricing model has resulted in gains and management constantly seeks improvements in its cost structure to achieve better margins. The Company is focused on improving its supply chain and cultivation facilities to increase manufacturing consistency and cultivation yields to drive additional gains in EBITDA, particularly inFlorida where they have expanded their cultivation capacity while improving the quality of flower production. Management believes theFlorida market is an exciting area for expansion asMedMen executes against a disciplined growth plan. To further drive revenue growth, ongoing initiatives include marketing campaigns and digital media to drive retail traffic, investment in its delivery program by offering service enhancements, and revamped assortment to serve customers at higher volume and rate. In addition, capital raised subsequent to year-end has givenMedMen the cash and flexibility to continue the expansion of its retail footprint. Prior toU.S. federal legalization of cannabis, and subject to compliance with applicable laws and stock exchange rules,MedMen will actively explore opportunities to expandMedMen's footprint across international markets. The Company continues to execute on its plan to achieve its growth and profitability goals and explore additional strategic opportunities. The Company continues to explore avenues of raising additional funds from debt and equity financing subsequent toJune 26, 2021 to mitigate any potential liquidity risk. The Company intends to continue raising capital by utilizing debt and equity financings on an as needed basis. Management evaluated its financial condition as ofJune 26, 2021 in conjunction with recent financings and transactions which provide capital subsequent to the fiscal year ended
June 26, 2021 as discussed below.
Amendment and Extension of Gotham Green Convertible Notes
OnAugust 17, 2021 , the Company announced that Tilray, Inc. ("Tilray") acquired a majority of the outstanding senior secured convertible notes under the Convertible Facility (the "Notes") fromGotham Green Partners, LLC and other funds. Under the terms of the transaction, a newly formed limited partnership (the "SPV") established by Tilray and other strategic investors acquired an aggregate principal amount of approximately$165.8 million of the Notes and warrants issued in connection with the Convertible Facility, all of which were originally issued byMedMen and held by GGP, representing 75% of the outstanding Notes and 65% of the outstanding warrants under the Convertible Facility. Specifically, Tilray's interest in the SPV represents rights to 68% of the Notes and related warrants held by the SPV, which are convertible into, and exercisable for, approximately 21% of the outstanding Class B Subordinate Voting Shares ofMedMen upon closing of the transaction. Tilray's ability to convert the Notes and exercise the warrants is dependent uponU.S. federal legalization of cannabis or Tilray's waiver of such requirement as well as any additional regulatory approvals.
In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Company amended and restated the Convertible Facility ("Sixth Amendment") to, among other things, extend the maturity date toAugust 17, 2028 , eliminate any cash interest obligations and instead provide for payment-in-kind interest, eliminate certain repricing provisions, and eliminate and revise certain restrictive covenants. The amendments are intended to provideMedMen the flexibility to execute on its growth priorities and explore additional strategic opportunities. In connection with the Sixth Amendment, accrued payment-in-kind interest on the Notes will be convertible at price equal to the trailing 30-day volume weighted average price of the Company's Subordinate Voting Shares. The Notes may not be prepaid until the federal legalization of marijuana. The Notes will also provide the holders with a top-up right to acquire additional Subordinate Voting Shares and a pre-emptive right with respect to future financings of the Company, subject to certain exceptions, upon the issuance byMedMen of certain equity or equity-linked securities. No changes have been made to the conversion and exercise prices of the Notes or related Warrants. 76Backstopped Equity Investment OnAugust 17, 2021 , the Company entered into subscription agreements with various investors led bySerruya Private Equity Inc. ("SPE") to purchase$100,000,000 of units ("Units") of the Company at a purchase price of$0.24 per Unit (the "Private Placement") wherein certain investors associated with SPE agreed to backstop the Private Placement (the "Backstop Commitment"). The proceeds from the Private Placement will allowMedMen to expand its operations in key markets such asCalifornia ,Florida ,Illinois andMassachusetts and identify and accelerate further growth opportunities acrossthe United States . Each Unit consists of one Class B Subordinate Voting Share (each, a "Share") and one-quarter share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant permits the holder to purchase one Share for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of$0.288 (C$0.384 ) per Share. Each Unit issued to certain SPE purchasers consists of one Share and one-quarter of one Warrant plus a proportionate interest in a short-term warrant (the "Short-Term Warrant") which expires onDecember 31, 2021 . The Short-Term Warrant entitles the holders to acquire, at the option of the holders and upon payment of$30,000,000 , an aggregate of 125,000,000 Units at an exercise price of$0.24 (C$0.32 ) per Unit, or$30,000,000 principal amount of notes at par, convertible into 125,000,000 Shares at a conversion price of$0.24 (C$0.32 ) per Share. The Company will use any proceeds from exercise of the Short-Term Warrant to pay down an existing debt instrument. In consideration for the Backstop Commitment, certain investors associated with SPE will receive a fee of$2,500,000 to be paid in the form of 10,416,666 Shares at a deemed price of$0.24 (C$0.32 ) per Share.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no material undisclosed off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on its results of operations, financial condition, revenues or expenses, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies, Significant Judgments and Estimates and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
A detailed description of our critical accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements are detailed in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
The Company makes judgments, estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the review affects both current and future periods. The preparation of the Company's annual Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of total net revenue and expenses during the reporting period which are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenue, costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results the Company experiences may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company's future results of operations will be affected. Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the annual Consolidated Financial Statements are described below.
Depreciation of Property and Equipment
Depreciation of property and equipment is dependent upon estimates of useful lives which are determined through the terms and methods in accordance with GAAP. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets is dependent upon estimates of useful lives and residual values which are determined through the exercise of judgment. Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions. 77 Inventory Valuation The Company periodically reviews physical inventory for excess, obsolete, and potentially impaired items and reserves. The Company reviews inventory for obsolete, redundant and slow-moving goods and any such inventory is written down to net realizable value. The reserve estimate for excess and obsolete inventory is dependent on expected future use. Business Combinations In a business combination, all identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired are accounted for using the acquisition method. One of the most significant estimates relates to the determination of the fair value of these assets and liabilities. Contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Management exercises judgment in estimating the probability and timing of when earn-outs are expected to be achieved which is used as the basis for estimating fair value. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with ASC 450, "Contingencies", as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognized in earnings in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations". For any intangible asset identified, depending on the type of intangible asset and the complexity of determining its fair value, an independent valuation expert or management may develop the fair value, using appropriate valuation techniques, which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future net cash flows. The evaluations are linked closely to the assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of the assets concerned and any changes in
the discount rate applied.
Convertible Instruments and Derivative Liabilities
The identification of components embedded within financial instruments is based on interpretations of the substance of the contractual arrangement and therefore requires judgment from management. The separation of the components affects the initial recognition of the financial instruments at issuance and the subsequent recognition of interest on the liability component. Where the conversion option has a variable conversion rate, the conversion option is recognized as a derivative liability measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The instrument is recognized as a financial liability and subsequently measured at amortized cost. The determination of the fair value of the liability is also based on a number of assumptions, including contractual future cash flows, discount rates and the presence of any derivative financial instruments. Share-Based Compensation
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or the Monte-Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of equity-based grants. In estimating fair value, management is required to make certain assumptions and estimates such as the expected life of units, volatility of the Company's future share price, risk-free rates, future dividend yields and estimated forfeitures at the initial grant date. Changes in assumptions used to estimate fair value could result in materially different results.
Goodwill Impairment, Other Intangible Assets, Long-Lived Assets and Purchase Asset Valuations
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill has been impaired. In the impairment test, the Company measures the recoverability of goodwill by comparing a reporting unit's carrying amount to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The carrying amount of each reporting unit is determined based upon the assignment of the Company's assets and liabilities, including existing goodwill, to the identified reporting units. The Company relies on a number of factors, including historical results, business plans, forecasts and market data. Changes in the conditions for these judgments and estimates can significantly affect the recoverable amount. Long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, are tested annually for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Once a triggering event has occurred, the impairment test employed is based on whether the intent is to hold the asset for continued use or to hold the asset for sale. The impairment test for assets held for use requires a comparison of cash flows expected to be generated over the useful life of an asset group to the carrying value of the asset group. An asset group is established by identifying the lowest level of cash flows generated by a group of assets that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and could include assets used across multiple businesses or segments. If the carrying value of an asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment would be measured as the difference between the fair value of the group's long-lived assets and the carrying value of the group's long-lived assets. The impairment is only to the extent the carrying value of each asset is above its fair value. For assets held for sale, to the extent the carrying value is greater than the asset's fair value less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference. Determining whether a long-lived asset is impaired requires various estimates and assumptions, including whether a triggering event has occurred, the identification of the asset groups, estimates of future cash flows and the discount rate used to
determine fair values. 78
The estimates and assumptions used in management's impairment analysis are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about its impairment analysis. The impairment estimates and assumptions bear the risk of change due to its inherent nature and subjectivity. The unanticipated effects of a longer or more severe COVID-19 outbreaks and decreases in consumer demand could reasonably expected to negatively affect the key assumptions and estimates. Deferred Tax Assets Deferred tax assets, including those arising from tax loss carryforwards, require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate sufficient taxable earnings in future periods in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits depend on management's estimates of future cash flows. In addition, future changes in tax laws could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in future periods. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the net deferred tax assets recorded at the reporting date could be
impacted. Income Taxes Current tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that the Company believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, all available positive and negative evidence are considered, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If it is determined that the Company would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded, which would reduce the provision for income taxes Uncertain tax positions are recorded in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liabilities
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, which is calculated as the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, any initial direct costs and related restoration costs. The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimates of economic life. The Company's lease liability is recognized net of lease incentives receivable. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate. The period over which the lease payments are discounted is the expected lease term, including renewal and termination options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Refer to "Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal years endedJune 26, 2021
andJune 27, 2020 in Item 8.
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell ("FVLCTS") unless the asset held for sale meets the exceptions as denoted by ASC 360. FVLCTS is the amount obtainable from the sale of the asset in an arm's length transaction, less the costs of disposal. A component of an entity is identified as operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and financially, from the rest of the entity. A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale. 79 Down Round Features
InJuly 2017 , the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, "Earnings Per Share (Topic 260)" wherein the amendments change the classification of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. For freestanding equity-classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share ("EPS") in accordance with ASC 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. For freestanding equity-classified financial instruments, the value of the effect of the down round feature is measured as the difference in fair value of the financial instrument without the down round feature with a strike price corresponding to the stated strike price versus the reduced strike price upon the down round feature being triggered. The fair value is measured in accordance with the measurement guidance in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement" in which the Company utilizes the Black-Scholes pricing model. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). During the year endedJune 26, 2021 , a down round feature present in the Convertible Facility and the 2020 Term Loan was triggered. Refer to Note 18 and Note 19 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year endedJune 26, 2021 in Item 8.
Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations
Under ASC 205-20 "Discontinued Operations", interest on debt that is to be assumed by the buyer and interest on debt that is required to be repaid as a result of a disposal transaction is allocated to discontinued operations. The amount of interest expense reclassified to discontinued operations is directly related to the amount of debt that will be repaid with funds received from the sale of discontinued operations. During the year endedJune 26, 2021 , the Company classified itsNew York operations as discontinued operations as a result of definitive agreements wherein the aggregate proceeds will be assigned to the lender of the 2020 Term Loan in partial satisfaction of the outstanding debt. Refer to Note 28 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year endedJune 26, 2021 in Item 8. The Company elected not to reclassify other interest expenses which are not directly attributable to discontinued operations as permitted under ASC 205-20.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Section 2(a) of the Exchange Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Start-ups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of this extended transition period and as a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. 80
