The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2020 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures as required by GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year then ended and filed with the SEC on November 10, 2020.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub 1 will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Greenlane (“Initial Surviving Corporation”) (“Merger 1”); and (ii) the Initial Surviving Corporation will then be merged with and into Merger Sub 2 with Merger Sub 2 as the surviving limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Greenlane (“Merger 2,” and together with Merger 1, the “Mergers”).

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company’s stockholders will receive approximately 0.2546 shares of Greenlane’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A common stock”) for each share of the Company’s common stock (the “Base Exchange Ratio”), subject to adjustment as described in the Merger Agreement (the Base Exchange Ratio, as adjusted, the “Exchange Ratio”). The Base Exchange Ratio is expected to result in the Company’s stockholders owning approximately 49.9% of the Class A common stock and existing stockholders of Greenlane owning approximately 50.1% of the Class A common stock. Immediately prior to the effective time of Merger 1, each Company stock option (whether or not vested or exercisable) will be converted into an option to purchase, on the same terms and conditions that apply to such option, that number of shares of the Class A common stock of Greenlane multiplied by the Exchange Ratio at an exercise price determined by dividing the per share exercise price of the option immediately prior to Merger 1 by the Exchange Ratio. Immediately prior to Merger 1, each Company restricted stock unit will vest in full and be settled and treated as a share of the Company common stock in Merger 1. The closing of the Mergers is subject to customary closing conditions.

The closing of the Mergers is conditioned upon, among other things, the Company’s receipt of the requisite approval for the Mergers from the holders of its common stock and Greenlane’s receipt of the requisite approval from the holders of its common stock for the issuance of shares of Greenlane Class A common stock to be issued in connection with the Mergers. In addition to these stockholder approvals, the closing of the Mergers is subject to other customary closing conditions. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete the Mergers on the expected timeline or at all. See “Item 1A Risk Factors” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Subject to the satisfaction of all of the conditions to closing, including the receipt of the separate stockholder approvals, the the Mergers are expected to close in the third calendar quarter of 2021.

References to amounts in these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements are in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise specified.

References herein to a particular “fiscal” year means the fiscal year that ended on August 31 of the year indicated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, accounts receivable reserves, inventory and related reserves, warrant liability, expected future cash flows used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, estimated fair values of long-lived assets used to record impairment charges related to intangible assets and goodwill, amortization periods, accrued expenses, stock-based compensation expenses, and recoverability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets and any related valuation allowance.

Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from management’s estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.

Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus, trade receivables do not bear interest. Trade accounts receivables are evaluated bi-weekly for collectability based on the customer's past credit history and current financial condition. In addition to customer specific reserves, the Company applies an additional 1% reserve to accounts receivable. The Company’s net accounts receivable balance was $107,~~449~~398 and $9,427 as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 and August 31, 2020, respectively. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,~~838~~025 and $2,439 as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 and August 31, 2020, respectively. The Company wrote-off $~~484~~588 of customers' balances during the three month period ended May 31, 2021. The Company’s sales return reserve was $318 and $332 as of May 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, respectively, and is included in “Accounts receivable, net” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Table of Contents

during the three month period ended February 28, 2021. The Company’s sales return reserve was $306 and $332 as of February 28, 2021 and August 31, 2020, respectively, and is included in “Accounts receivable, net” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the average cost method. The Company’s inventory consists of finished goods of $5052,~~846~~370 and $28,049 as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 and August 31, 2020, respectively. The Company also makes prepayments against the future delivery of inventory classified as prepaid inventory. The Company’s prepaid inventory was $46,~~269~~752 and $3,373 as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 and August 31, 2020, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the accompanying balance sheets. The Company regularly reviews inventory and, when appropriate, records a provision for obsolete and excess inventory. The provision is based on actual loss experience and a forecast of product demand compared to its remaining shelf life. The Company's inventory reserve was $76,~~869~~681 and $10,497 as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 and August 31, 2020, respectively.

Equity Investment

On January 30, 2020, the Company partnered with XS Financial Inc. (“XS Financial”), formerly Xtraction Services Holding Corp, a provider of equipment leasing solutions to owners and operators of cannabis and hemp companies in the United States in order to provide such solutions to the Company’s network of regulated cannabis and hemp-derived cannabidiol ("CBD") operators. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Stephen Christoffersen, has served on the board of directors for XS Financial since May 2019. Under the terms of its agreement with XS Financial, upon the closing of the transaction, the Company issued 1,653 shares of its common ~~shares~~stock in exchange for 10,600 proportionate voting shares of XS Financial (the “XS Shares”), the equivalent of 19.9% of XS Financials' market capitalization on the closing date. As of ~~Feb~~May 2831, 2021, the Company owns approximately 10.3% XS Financials' market capitalization. On January 30, 2020, the value of the Company's shares issued in exchange for the equity investment in XS Financial was $2,528. The Company’s investment in XS Financial is included in “Other assets” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of Company's investment in XS Financial was $3,287 as of February 28, 2021. The fair value of Company's investment in XS Financial was $1,225 as of August 31, 2020.

Net Loss Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”). Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of (a) the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and (b) the potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Stock options and warrants are potentially dilutive securities; and the number of dilutive options is computed using the treasury stock method.

For the three months and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 and 2020, basic and diluted weighted average shares ~~are~~were the same, as the Company generated a net loss for the period. The computation for the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 does not include 1011,~~551~~844 options and 31,434 warrants, as their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share. The computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended ~~February~~May 2931, 2020 does not include 1411,~~553~~368 options and 21,737 warrants, as their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share.

Revenue Recognition

The Company markets and sells a wide variety of ancillary products and services to customers operating in the regulated medical and recreational cannabis and CBD industries. These complementary products and services include bottles, jars, bags, tubes, containers, vape cartridges, vape batteries and accessories, labels and processing supplies, solvents, natural products,

stainless steel tanks, custom branded anti-counterfeit and authentication labels, and services focused on building distribution networks of compliant hemp-derived CBD brands across conventional and other retail channels, including convenience, pet care, and beauty channels.

In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company applies the following steps to recognize revenue for the sale of products that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for the promised goods:

•Identify the contract with a customer.

Table of Contents

•Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

•Determine the transaction price.

•Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

•Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

Advertising

The Company conducts advertising for the promotion of its products and services. In accordance with ASC subtopic 720-35-25 (“ASC 720”), advertising costs are charged to expense when incurred. Advertising costs were $019 and $9621 for the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 and ~~February~~May 2931, 2020, respectively. Advertising cost were $322 and $~~178~~99 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 and ~~February~~May 2931, 2020, respectively.

The Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $21,~~097~~780 and $32,~~427~~985 for the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 and ~~February~~May 2931, 2020, respectively, in connection with the issuance of shares of common stock and options to purchase common stock. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $46,~~457~~159 and $811,~~089~~074 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 and ~~February~~May 2931, 2020, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).” ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of models used to account for convertible instruments, amends diluted EPS calculations for convertible instruments, and amends the requirements for a contract (or embedded derivative) that is potentially settled in an entity's own shares to be classified in equity. The amendments add certain disclosure requirements to increase transparency and decision-usefulness about a convertible instrument's terms and features. Under the amendment, the Company must use the if-converted method for including convertible instruments in diluted EPS as opposed to the treasury stock method. ASU 2020-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021 (the Company's Fiscal 2023). Early adoption is allowed under the standard with either a modified retrospective or full retrospective method. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Early adoption is allowed under the standard with either a modified retrospective or full retrospective method. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB Issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting of Income Taxes”, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-1, “Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815.” The ASU is based on a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force and is expected to increase comparability in accounting for these transactions. ASU 2016-1 made targeted improvements to accounting for financial instruments, including providing an entity the ability to measure certain equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Among other topics, the amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting. For public business entities, the amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Update on COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization recognized COVID-19 as a global pandemic, prompting many national, regional, and local governments, including in the markets that the Company operates in, to implement preventative or protective measures, such as travel and business restrictions, temporary store closures, and wide-sweeping quarantines and stay-at-home orders. As a result, COVID-19 has significantly curtailed global economic activity, including in the regulated cannabis and CBD industries in which the Company operates.

•State and provincial mandates requiring the temporary closure of nonessential businesses, such as the temporary closure of adult recreational use stores in Massachusetts, Nevada, and Ontario, Canada, as well as the substantial closure of many retail storefronts that sell CBD;

•Restrictions and limitations on travel that have curtailed consumer demand in tourist-heavy markets, such as Nevada and Colorado, as well as a general negative effect on the ability of our sales force to meet with potential customers and secure new orders; and

•Our customers increasingly consolidating orders and purchasing less frequently in response to general macroeconomic and business uncertainty, creating a more volatile and irregular purchasing and revenue recognition pattern.

While the U.S. has recently seen a significant decline in new cases and states are loosening their shutdown and social distancing protocols, resulting in a wide reopening of adult recreational use and medical stores as well as retail stores that sell CBD, COVID-19 continues to affect the Company's sources of revenue in Canada, particularly in provinces such as Ontario that were still under lockdown until recently.

We continue to be impacted by business and supply chain interruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has also resulted in increased air freight costs incurred by us, which we are passing on to our customers

via a surcharge, as well as general difficulties in securing space on incoming freight from international vendors in order to make room for essential items.

We continue to experience unexpected and uncontrollable delays with our international supply shipments due to a significant increase in shipments to U.S. ports, less cargo being shipped by air, and a general shortage of containers. While these delays have moderately improved in recent months, we, along with many other importers of goods across all industries, continue to experience severe congestion and extensive wait times for carriers at ports across the United States. In addition, restrictions imposed by local, state and federal agencies due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to reduced personnel of importers, government staff and others in our supply chain. We have been working diligently with our network of freight partners and suppliers to expedite delivery dates and provide solutions to reduce further impact and delays. However, we are unable to determine the full impact of these delays as they are out of our control.

We have also experienced, and could continue to experience, delays in orders from vendors, particularly in countries where the pandemic has had a significant impact, such as in China.

While the Company is continuing to navigate the financial, operational, and personnel challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, the potential uncertainty related to and proliferation of new strains, and related actions taken by the U.S. government, state and local government officials, and international governments to prevent disease spread, all of which are uncertain, out of our control and cannot be predicted at this time.

NOTE 8 – DEBT

Monroe Revolving Credit Facility

On August 21, 2019, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a secured asset based revolving credit facility (the “Monroe Revolving Credit Facility”) ~~with~~for an aggregate amount not to exceed $35.0 million outstanding at any time, with Monroe Capital Management Advisors, LLC (“Monroe”), as collateral agent and administrative agent, and the various lenders party thereto. The Monroe Revolving Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature that permits the Company to increase the available revolving commitments under the Monroe Revolving Credit Facility by up to an additional $15.0 million, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. The Monroe Revolving Credit Facility has a 5-year term, which matures on August 21, 2024 and is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The borrowing base is subject to eligible inventory and accounts receivable. The available borrowing capacity as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 was $312,~~761~~467.

The Monroe Revolving Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, including a financial covenant requiring certain minimum availability, and events of default. As of ~~February~~May 2831, 2021, the outstanding balance under the facility was $~~9,931~~663. As of August 31, 2020, there was no balance outstanding under the facility.

The Company incurred closing costs associated with the Monroe Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of $2,672, which were deferred and amortized over the 5-year term of the Monroe Revolving Credit Facility on a straight-line basis. As of February 28, 2021 and August 31, 2020, unamortized debt issuance costs of $1,750 and $2,057, respectively, are included in “Other assets.” Interest expense and amortization of debt discount, associated with the Monroe Revolving Credit Facility during the three months ended February 28, 2021 amounted to $246 and $154, respectively. Interest expense and amortization of debt discount, associated with the Monroe Revolving Credit Facility during the six months ended February 28, 2021 amounted to $299 and $307, respectively.

Monroe Warrants

Also on August 21, 2019, in connection with, and as a condition to the consummation of, the Monroe Revolving Credit Facility, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with certain entities affiliated with Monroe (collectively, the “Subscribers”), pursuant to which the Company issued to the Subscribers warrants (the “Monroe Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 500 shares of the Company common stock, at an exercise price of $4.25 per share, ~~being~~which represented the arithmetic average of the closing price of the Company's common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days prior to the date of issuance (subject to customary adjustment upon subdivision or combination of the Company's common stock). The Monroe Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time, and from time to time, on or before the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. The Monroe Warrants include a “blocker” provision that, subject to certain exceptions described in the Monroe Warrants, prevents the Subscribers from exercising the Monroe Warrants to the extent such exercise would result in a Subscriber together with certain affiliates owning in excess of 4.99% of the Company's common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. The Monroe Warrants were classified as equity.

Senior Note with HB Sub Fund

On April 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and the Investor agreed to purchase, a senior note (the “Original Note”) in a private placement offering in the aggregate principal amount of $21.3 million with an original issue discount of $1.3 million, and received net proceeds of $20.0 million. The Original Note was a senior unsecured obligation, and unless earlier redeemed, was scheduled to mature on October 30, 2020. The Original Note did not bear interest, except upon the occurrence of an event of default.

On August 21, 2019, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the Investor in order to amend and waive certain provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Original Note and exchange the Original Note for (i) a new senior note (the “First Amended Senior Note”) for the same aggregate principal amount as the Original Note and (ii) a warrant to purchase up to 650 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $4.25 per share. The warrants have an expiration date of August 21, 2024 and have not been exercised. As of August 21, 2019, the warrants were reclassified from a derivative liability to equity with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes model as of August 21, 2019 and was equal to $792. Similar to the terms of the Original Note, the First Amended Senior Note was set to mature on October 30, 2020, at which time the Company would have had to pay the Investor an amount in cash representing 120% of all outstanding principal, less original issue discount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid late charges. Similar to the terms of the Original Note, the First Amended Senior Note did not bear interest except upon the occurrence of an event of default.

On November 8, 2019, the Company entered into a Second Exchange Agreement (“Second Exchange Agreement”) with the Investor, pursuant to which the Company amended the First Amended Senior Note (the “Second Amended Senior Note”). Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended Senior Note, the maturity date was extended to April 29, 2021, and the aggregate principal amount of the Second Amended Senior Note was increased to approximately $24.0 million and the original issue discount was increased to $1.5 million. Upon maturity of the Second Amended Senior Note, the Company would have had to pay the Investor an amount in cash representing 120% of all outstanding principal, less original issue discount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid late charges. Similar to the terms of the Original Note, the Second Amended Senior Note did not bear interest except upon the occurrence of an event of default.

On June 9, 2020, the Company entered into a Third Exchange Agreement (the “Third Exchange Agreement”) with the Investor in order to (x) amend and waive certain provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended, and the Second Amended Senior Note, and (y) exchange the Second Amended Senior Note without any cash consideration for (i) a new senior note in the aggregate principal amount of $22.0 million (the “Third Amended Senior Note”) and (ii) 5,347,594 shares of the Company's common stock (the “Third Exchange Shares”). The exchange of principal and Third Exchange Shares were accounted for as an extinguishment of debt, and a loss on extinguishment of $1.65 million was recorded in the statement of operations for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020.

Similar to the terms of the Second Amended Senior Note, the Third Amended Senior Note would have matured on April 29, 2021, subject to the Investor’s right to extend such maturity date. Upon maturity, the Company would have been required to pay the Investor an amount in cash representing the aggregate outstanding principal, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid late charges. Similar to the terms of the Original Note, the First Amended Senior Note and the Second Amended Senior Note, the Third Amended Senior Note did not bear interest except upon the occurrence (and during the continuance) of an event of default, in which case the Third Amended Senior Note would bear interest at a rate of 18.0% per annum (the “Default Rate”).

On March 24, 2021, the Company paid in aggregate $17 million to retire the full principal balance and ~~accrued~~$0.8 million debt issuance cost was recorded to interest expense under the Fifth Amended Senior Note (see Note 13 below).

PPP Loan

On April 30, 2020, the Company qualified for and received a loan pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program, a program implemented by the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act from a qualified lender, for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.9 million (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan iswas unsecured and guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, ~~bears~~bore interest at a fixed rate of 1.0% per annum, and had a maturity of two years with the first six months of interest, principal and fees deferred. The principal and interest of the PPP Loan iswas eligible for forgiveness under the Paycheck Protection Program to the extent that the PPP Loan proceeds ~~are~~were used to pay expenses permitted by the Paycheck Protection Program, including eligible payroll costs, covered rent, business mortgage interest, and covered utility payments incurred by the Company during the elected 24 week covered period after loan disbursement. The Company applied and received forgiveness for the PPP Loan on February 9, 2021, with respect to these covered expenses. During the three months ended February 28, 2021 the Company recorded a gain of $1.9 million to other income related to the PPP loan being forgiven by the SBA. As of ~~February~~May 2831, 2021, the Company no longer has the PPP Loan recorded as a note payable on its balance sheet. As of August 31, 2020, the PPP Loan amounted to $1.9 million, and was included within the current portion of notes payable on the accompanying balance sheet.

NOTE 9 – WARRANT LIABILITY

Table of Contents

In addition to the ~~warrants~~Monroe Warrants described above, in June 2018, the Company issued warrants to purchase 3,750 shares of its common stock exercisable at a price per share of $5.28 (the “2018 Warrants”) to investors in a registered direct offering. The 2018 Warrants have a term of five years from the date of issuance. Pursuant to ASC Topic 815, the initial fair value of the 2018 Warrants of $15,350 was recorded as a warrant liability on the issuance date. The estimated fair values of the 2018 Warrants was computed at issuance using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The estimated fair value of the outstanding liabilities associated with the 2018 Warrants was $~~1,481~~661 and $365 as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 and August 31, 2020, respectively.

Increases or decreases in the fair value of the Company's liability associated with the 2018 Warrants are included as a component of “Other expense” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the respective period. The changes to the liability associated with the 2018 Warrants resulted in an ~~increase~~decrease of $~~933~~821 ~~and $1,116~~ in liability and a corresponding ~~loss~~gain for the three months and ~~six~~an increase of $295 in liability and a corresponding loss for the nine months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2021. The changes to the liability associated with the 2018 Warrants resulted in aan ~~decrease~~increase of $1,~~390~~160 in liability and a corresponding loss for the three months and a decrease of $43,~~595~~435 in liability and a corresponding gain for the ~~three~~nine months ~~and six months~~ ended ~~February~~May 2931, 2020.

The estimated fair value of the 2018 Warrants was computed as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 using the Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: stock price of $10.4696, volatility of ~~100~~104.54%, risk-free rate of 0.22%, annual dividend yield of 0% and expected life of 2.3 years.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value measurements are performed in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or parameters are not available, valuation models are applied.

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the financial statements are categorized based upon the hierarchy of levels of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supportable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, equity investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and obligations approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term notes payable approximates its fair value based on interest rates available to the Company for similar debt instruments and similar remaining maturities.

The Company accounts for its investment in Smoke Cartel, Inc. (“Smoke Cartel”) at fair value. On September 21, 2018, Smoke Cartel and the Company entered into an agreement to sell Rowl-Uh-Bowl (the “RUB”) web domain and inventory related to this product line and in exchange, received 1,410 shares of Smoke Cartel common stock. The fair value of the Company’s investment as of August 31, 2020 and ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 was based upon the closing price of Smoke Cartel's common stock on each respective date. The investment was classified as a Level 2 financial instrument.

The Company accounts for its investment in XS Financial at fair value. The fair value of the Company’s investment at August 31, 2020 and ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 was based upon the closing price of XS Financial common stock on each respective date. The investment was classified as a Level 2 financial instrument.

Table of Contents

In connection with the Company’s registered direct offering in June 2018, the Company issued the 2018 Warrants, which are accounted for as a warrant liability (see Note 9 above.) The estimated fair value of the liability is recorded using significant unobservable measures and other fair value inputs and is therefore classified as a Level 3 financial instrument.

The following table details the fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments, which includes the Level 2 assets and the Level 3 liabilities:

NOTE 12 – 2020 PLAN & RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

~~In the three months and six months ended February 28, 2021, the Company recorded $0.3 million and $0.3 million in restructuring costs.~~ During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company adopted and implemented a comprehensive strategic plan (the “2020 Plan”) to more effectively execute the Company’s strategy of focusing its resources on more established, financially stable, and creditworthy customers (namely multi-state operators, licensed producers, and leading brands). In connection with the 2020 Plan, the Company began implementing a restructuring plan designed to rationalize all aspects of its operations by, among other things, significantly reducing its overhead, implementing more stringent expense controls, consolidating its warehouses, reducing its inventory, and drastically altering its sales strategy to focus more on these customers. The Company believes that this strategic shift and associated restructuring has resulted in a better forecast of demand, reduction of inventory and warehouse space, improved collections and cash flow, and potential revenue upside from these customers’ continued expansion and consolidation in the marketplace.

The Company has incurred $8.7 million in restructuring charges as of February 28, 2021, and expects to incur an additional $0.9 million in restructuring charges under the 2020 Plan, which represents the Company’s best estimate as of February 28, 2021. The 2020 Plan is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2021. The recognition of restructuring

In the three months and nine months ended May 31, 2021, the Company recorded $0.3 million and $0.6 million in restructuring costs. The Company has incurred $8.9 million in total restructuring charges as of May 31, 2021, and expects to incur an additional $0.6 million in restructuring charges under the 2020 Plan, which represents the Company’s best estimate as of May 31, 2021. The 2020 Plan is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2021. The recognition of restructuring charges requires that the Company make certain judgments and estimates regarding the nature, timing and amount of costs associated with the planned reductions of workforce and facility, ROU and asset impairment costs. At the end of each reporting period, the Company will evaluate the remaining accrued balance to ensure that no excess accruals are retained, and the utilization of the provisions are for their intended purpose in accordance with developed plans. The following table reflects the movement of activity of the restructuring reserve for the nine months ended May 31, 2021:

On March 23, 2021, High Tide, a retail-focused cannabis corporation enhanced by the manufacturing and distribution of consumption accessories, completed its acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Smoke Cartel for a total consideration of $8.0 million, comprised of $6.0 million in common shares of High Tide and $2.0 million in cash. As a result of the transaction, the Company will receive 1.8 million common shares of High Tide and a total cash consideration of $0.1 million.

On March 24, 2021, we retired our Fifth Amended Senior Note with the Investor (see Note 8 above). The Company paid in aggregate $17 million to retire the full principal balance and accrued interest under the Fifth Amended Senior Note.

On March 31, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (“Greenlane”), Merger Sub Gotham 1, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Greenlane (“Merger Sub 1”), and Merger Sub Gotham 2, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Greenlane (“Merger Sub 2”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub 1 will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Greenlane (“Initial Surviving Corporation”) (“Merger 1”); and (ii) the Initial Surviving Corporation will then be merged with and into Merger Sub 2 with Merger Sub 2 as the surviving limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Greenlane (“Merger 2,” and together with Merger 1, the “Mergers”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company’s stockholders will receive approximately 0.2546 shares of Greenlane’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A common stock”) for each share of the Company’s common stock (the “Base Exchange Ratio”), subject to adjustment as described in the Merger Agreement (the Base Exchange Ratio, as adjusted, the “Exchange Ratio”). The Base Exchange Ratio is expected to result in the Company’s stockholders owning approximately 49.9% of the Class A common stock and existing stockholders of Greenlane owning approximately 50.1% of the Class A common stock. Immediately prior to the effective time of Merger 1, each Company stock option (whether or not vested or exercisable) will be converted into an option to purchase, on the same terms and conditions that apply to such option, that number of shares of the Class A common stock of Greenlane multiplied by the Exchange Ratio at an exercise price determined by dividing the per share exercise price of the option immediately prior to Merger 1 by the Exchange Ratio. Immediately prior to Merger 1, each Company restricted stock unit will vest in full and be settled and treated as a share of the Company common stock in Merger 1. The closing of the Mergers is subject to customary closing conditions.

Additional information about the Merger Agreement and the Mergers can be found in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2021. The Mergers are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete the Mergers on the expected timeline or at all.

Overview

We specialize in marketing and selling a wide variety of ancillary products and services to customers operating in the regulated medical and recreational cannabis and hemp-derived cannabidiol ("CBD") industries.

Our products primarily consist of bottles, jars, bags, tubes, containers, vape cartridges, vape batteries and accessories, labels and processing supplies, solvents, natural products, stainless steel tanks, and custom branded anti-counterfeit and authentication labels. We maintain relationships with a broad range of domestic and international manufacturers, which enables us to source a wide variety of products in a cost-effective manner and to pass such cost savings on to our customers. In addition to a complete product line, we have sophisticated labeling and customization capabilities, which allow us to add significant value to our customers’ packaging and vape hardware design processes, enabling them to turn their packaging and branding into an effective marketing tool.

Our products are relied upon by brand owners, growers, processors, producers, distributors, and licensed medical and adult recreational cannabis retailers.

Our services division focuses on building distribution networks of compliant hemp-derived CBD brands across conventional and other retail channels, including convenience, pet care, and beauty channels.

As a result, COVID-19 has significantly curtailed global economic activity, including in the regulated cannabis and CBD industries in which wethe ~~operate.~~Company operates.

COVID-19 has materially impacted our markets and sources of revenues, especially in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2020, including without limitation, as a result of the following:

For the three months ended February 28, 2021, our revenue increased to $32.9 million compared to $30.1 million for the three months ended February 29, 2020, which represents an increase of $2.7 million, or 9.1%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales to the Company's MSO and LP customers, as part of its continued strategy to align with the industry's leading operators.

The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales to our existing MSO and LP customers and securing new MSO customers, as part of our continued strategy to align with the industry's leading operators as reflected in our 2020 Plan. The increase was also due to a COVID-19-driven slowdown impacting revenue for the three months ended May 31, 2020.

Gross profit for the three months ended February 28, 2021 was $6.4 million, or 19.6% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $(8.9) million, or (29.6)% of revenue, for the three months ended February 29, 2020. The increase in gross profit percentage is due primarily to the introduction of the 2020 Plan, which resulted in prepaid inventory write-offs of $3.3 million and excess and obsolete (E&O) inventory charges of $11.9 million for the three months ended February 29, 2020.

Gross profit for the three months ended May 31, 2021 was $4.4 million, or 15.4% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $2.4 million, or 10.7% of revenue, for the three months ended May 31, 2020. The increase in gross profit percentage was due primarily to excess and obsolete (E&O) inventory charges of $2.1 million and prepaid inventory write-offs of $1.0 million for the three months ended May 31, 2020, resulting from the introduction of our 2020 Plan. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in direct material margins, driven in part by tariff pressures.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 was $2229.01 million compared to $1820.82 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~February~~May 2931, 2020. The change iswas primarily attributable to our purchase of higher levels of inventory to support anticipated sales and avoid supply disruption due to the Chinese New Year holiday and freight delays related to COVID-19.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 was $01.82 million compared to $34.63 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~February~~May 2931, 2020. The decrease iswas primarily due to lower levels of equipment purchases, technology investments and leasehold improvements during the current fiscal period.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 was $4720.39 million compared to $2931.7 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~February~~May 2931, 2020. The ~~increase~~decrease iswas primarily attributable to the net proceeds offrom our ~~line~~Monroe ofRevolving ~~credit~~Credit Facility (described below) of $100.19 million compared to the prior period's net repayment on the line of credit of $12.3 million, and repayment of notes payable of $17 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2021. The ~~increase~~decrease was partially offset by a $4.8 million reduction in proceeds from the issuance of common stock. Accordingly, cash proceeds from the issuance of common stock during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 was $37.3 million compared to $42.1 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~February~~May 2931, 2020.February 2021 Registered Direct Offering

On February 24, 2021, we sold an aggregate of 24,242,424 shares of our common stock, ~~par value $0.001 per share,~~ and warrants to purchase 9,696,969 shares of common stock (each a “February 2021 Warrant” and collectively, the “February 2021 Warrants”), in a registered direct offering (the “February 2021 Offering”) to certain accredited investors. The common stock and February 2021 Warrants were sold in units (the “Units”), with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and a February 2021 Warrant to purchase 0.4 of a share of common stock. The Units were offered by us pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-231019) filed with the SEC on April 25, 2019 and declared effective on May 6, 2019 and a prospectus supplement thereunder, dated February 22, 2021 and filed with the SEC on February 24, 2021. Subject to certain ownership

Table of Contents

~~to certain ownership~~ limitations, the February 2021 Warrants were immediately exercisable at an exercise price equal to $2.00 per share of common stock. The February 2021 Warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance.

The purchase price for a Unit was $1.65. The aggregate net proceeds from the February 2021 Offering, after deducting the placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses, was approximately $37.1 million. We have and will continue to use the net proceeds from the February 2021 Offering, together with other available funds, for working capital and for other general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, debt repayment, product development, acquisitions, capital expenditures and other business opportunities. We used a portion of the proceeds from the February 2021 Offering to retire our Fifth Amended Senior Note, as described below.

A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners acted as placement agent (the "Placement Agent") for the February 2021 Offering. We paid the Placement Agent an aggregate cash fee equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the February 2021 Offering pursuant to a Placement Agency Agreement entered into by us and the Placement Agent on February 22, 2021. We also reimbursed the Placement Agent $60,000 for fees and expenses, including the fees and expenses of the Placement Agent’s counsel.

Monroe Revolving Credit Facility

On August 21, 2019, we and our subsidiaries entered into a secured asset based revolving credit facility (the “Monroe Revolving Credit Facility”) with an aggregate amount not to exceed $35.0 million outstanding at any time with Monroe Capital Management Advisors, LLC (“Monroe”), as collateral agent and administrative agent, and the various lenders party thereto. The Monroe Revolving Credit Facility includes an accordion feature that permits us to increase the available revolving commitments under the Monroe Revolving Credit Facility by up to an additional $15.0 million, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. The Monroe Revolving Credit Facility has a 5-year term maturing on August 21, 2024 and is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Short-term Debt

On January 24, 2021, we entered into a Fifth Exchange Agreement ~~(the “Fifth Exchange Agreement”)~~ with HB Sub Fund in order to (x) amend and waive certain provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated April 29, 2019, with HB Sub Fund, as amended, and that certain Senior Note issued to HB Sub Fund in the principal amount of $19 million, on November 10, 2020 (the “Fourth Amended Senior Note”), and (y) exchange the Fourth Amended Senior Note without any cash consideration for (i) a new senior note in the aggregate principal amount of $17.0 million (the “Fifth Amended Senior Note”) and (ii) 1,481,482 shares of our common stock.

On March 24, 2021, we retired the Fifth Amended Senior Note with proceeds from our February 2021 Offering, paying in aggregate $17.0 million to retire the full principal balance and accrued interest under the note.

PPP Loan

On April 30, 2020, ~~the~~we ~~Company~~ qualified for and received a loan pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program, a program implemented by the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act from a qualified lender, for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.9 million (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan iswas unsecured and guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, ~~bears~~bore interest at a fixed rate of 1.0% per annum, and had a maturity of two years with the first six months of interest, principal and fees deferred. The principal and interest of the PPP Loan iswas eligible for forgiveness under the Paycheck Protection Program to the extent that the PPP Loan proceeds ~~are~~were used to pay expenses permitted by the Paycheck Protection Program, including eligible payroll costs, covered rent, business mortgage interest, and covered utility payments incurred by ~~the~~us ~~Company~~ during the elected 24 week covered period after loan disbursement. ~~The~~We ~~Company~~ applied and received forgiveness for the PPP Loan on February 9, 2021, with respect to these covered expenses. During the three months ended February 28, 2021 ~~the~~we ~~Company~~ recorded a gain of $1.9 million to other income related to the PPP loan being forgiven by the SBA. As of ~~February~~May 2831, 2021, ~~the~~we ~~Company~~ no longer ~~has~~have the PPP Loan recorded as a note payable on ~~its~~our balance sheet. As of August 31, 2020, the PPP Loan amounted to $1.9 million, and was included within the current portion of notes payable on the accompanying balance sheet.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

We do not currently have, and did not have during the periods presented, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC rules.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Table of Contents

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable reserves, inventory and related reserves, expected cash flows used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, estimated fair values of long-lived assets used to record impairment charges related to intangible assets and goodwill, amortization periods, accrued expenses, stock-based compensation and recoverability of our net deferred tax assets and any related valuation allowance. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates, other than the adoption of ASC 842, Leases, as described in Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and have no foreign exchange contracts. Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents. We consider investments that, when purchased, have a remaining maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. We do not believe that a notional or hypothetical 10% change in interest rate percentages would have a material impact on the fair value of our investment portfolio.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer (who is also the Company’s chairman, secretary and principal executive officer), and our chief financial officer (who is also the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Thus, in accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2021, which is the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020, and our failure to timely file two Current Reports on Form 8-K as described in the Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A filed on January 11, 2021 and Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed on January 11, 2021, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020. Our remediation efforts will continue to be implemented throughout our 2021 fiscal year. We believe that the controls that we have implemented and intend to implement will improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may determine to take additional steps to address the material weaknesses or to supplement or modify certain of our planned remediation measures.

May v. KushCo Holdings, Inc., et al. Filed April 30, 2019. Case No. 8:19-cv-00798-JLS-KES, U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. This putative ~~shareholder~~stockholder class action against the Company and certain of its current and former officers alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and sought unspecified compensatory damages and other relief on behalf of a class of purchasers of the Company’s securities between July 13, 2017 and April 9, 2019, inclusive. In September 2019, the Court appointed co-lead plaintiffs and co-lead counsel for the plaintiffs. The lead plaintiffs’ amended complaint was filed in November 2019. In February 2020, the Company moved to dismiss the amended complaint. In September 2020, the Court granted the motion to dismiss with leave to amend. On November 2, 2020, after the lead plaintiffs failed to file an amended complaint, the Court entered judgment in favor of the defendants, dismissing the action with prejudice. On December 2, 2020, the lead plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of the judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On February 18, 2021, after the lead plaintiff voluntarily dismissed his appeal, the action was dismissed in its entirety with prejudice.

Salsberg v. Kovacevich, et al. Filed May 24, 2019. Case No. 8:19-cv-00998-JLS-KES, U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and Neysmith v. Baum, et al. Filed May 31, 2019. Case No. 8:19-cv-01070-JLS-KES, U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. This purported ~~shareholder~~stockholder derivative action against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company alleges, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment. The Company is named as a nominal defendant and the plaintiffs seek, among other things, corporate governance reforms, and disgorgement of profits, benefits, and compensation obtained by the defendants from the alleged conduct, to be paid to the Company. In September 2019, the Court consolidated these cases. In December 2019, the Court ordered the action stayed pursuant to a stipulation of the parties, which stay expired in December 2020. In May 2021, the Court again ordered the action stayed, this time until the earlier of the closing of the Mergers or September 30, 2021.

Savage v. Kovacevich, et al. Filed June 14, 2019. Case No. 30-2019-01077191-CU-MC-NJC, Superior Court of California, County of Orange. This purported ~~shareholder~~stockholder derivative action against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company alleges, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment. The Company is named as a nominal defendant and the plaintiff seeks, among other things, corporate governance reforms, and unspecified damages and restitution from the defendants, to be paid to the Company. In August 2019, the Court ordered the action stayed pursuant to a stipulation of the parties, which stay expired in December 2020.

Case No. A-19-902945-B, First Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada. These purported ~~shareholder~~stockholder derivative actions against certain current and former directors and officers allege, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment. The Company is named as a nominal defendant in each action and the plaintiffs seek, among other things, equitable relief and unspecified damages from the defendants, to be paid to the Company. In August 2020 and September 2020, the Court ordered the Majchrzak action and the Bruno action, respectively, stayed, which stays expired in December 2020. In May 2021, the stay of the Bruno action was continued until August 18, 2021 and the stay of the Majchrzak action was continued indefinitely.

Choate v. Kovacevich, et al. Filed October 1, 2020, Case No. 8:20-cv-01904-JLS-KES, U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

Risk Factors Related to the Mergers

Failure to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement as currently contemplated or at all could materially and adversely affect the price of our common stock and our future business and financial results.

The consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may be delayed, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may be consummated on terms different than those contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may not be consummated at all. Failure to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement would prevent our stockholders from realizing the anticipated benefits of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In addition, the Exchange Ratio reflects a valuation of our company in excess of the price at which our common stock was trading prior to the public announcement of the parties’ entry into the Merger Agreement. The current market price of our common stock may reflect a market assumption that the Mergers will occur, and a failure to consummate the Mergers could result in a significant decline in the market price of our common stock and a negative perception of KushCo generally. Any delay in the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or any uncertainty about the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement on terms different than those contemplated by the Merger Agreement or at all could also materially and adversely affect our stock price and future business and financial results.

If the Mergers do not occur and we are required to pay a termination fee to Greenlane, our financial condition and future business and operations could be materially and adversely affected.

If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances specified in the Merger Agreement, we may be obligated to pay Greenlane a termination fee of $8,000,000. See “The Merger Agreement — Termination of the Merger Agreement” of our definitive proxy statement. If we are obligated to pay a termination fee to Greenlane pursuant to the Merger Agreement, our financial condition and future business and operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Failure to complete the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement could materially and adversely affect our future business and financial results and our stock price.

If the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not completed for any reason, the our ongoing businesses could be materially and adversely affected and we could be subject to a variety of risks associated with the failure to complete the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the following:

•We could be required, under certain circumstances specified in the Merger Agreement, to pay Greenlane a termination fee of $8,000,000;

•having to pay certain costs relating to the proposed Mergers, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees of lawyers, accountants, financial advisors and investment bankers, as well as filing, printing and mailing fees; and

•diversion of significant management focus and resources from operational matters and other strategic opportunities while working to implement the Mergers.

If the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not completed, these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial results and stock price. See “The Merger Agreement — Termination of the Merger Agreement” in our definitive proxy statement for more information regarding the specific circumstances under which termination fees are payable.

The pendency of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement could materially and adversely affect our business and operations.

Prior to the effective time of the Mergers, some of our customers or vendors may delay or defer decisions regarding whether to continue to do business with us, which could materially and adversely affect our revenues, earnings, cash flows and expenses, regardless of whether the Mergers are completed. In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts us from taking specified actions until the Mergers occur without the consent of Greenlane. These restrictions may, among other things, prevent us from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the consummation of the Mergers. See “The Merger Agreement — Covenants and Agreements” in our definitive proxy statement for a description of the restrictive covenants that apply to us.

Table of Contents

The Merger Agreement limits Greenlane’s and KushCo’s ability to pursue alternatives to the Mergers.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that make it more difficult for us to enter into alternative transactions. The Merger Agreement contains certain provisions that restrict our ability to solicit, initiate, seek, encourage or engage in discussions or negotiations regarding a proposal or inquiry that could reasonably be expected to lead to a proposal to acquire 20% of more of our assets or capital stock. Further, there are only limited exceptions to our agreement that our board of directors will not change its recommendation in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement. However, at any time prior to the receipt of the requisite approval from our stockholders, we receive an unsolicited written bona fide acquisition proposal that was not a violation of the Merger Agreement and our board of directors determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and financial advisors and taking into account all adjustments to the terms of the Merger Agreement that may be offered by Greenlane, as specified in the Merger Agreement) that such acquisition proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal (as defined below in the Merger Agreement) and our board of directors has reasonably determined (after consultation with outside counsel) that the failure to make an adverse recommendation change (as defined below) would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by our board of directors to our stockholders under applicable law, the our board of directors may make an adverse recommendation change and terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into agreement relating to an alternative transaction. If we terminate the Merger Agreement in order to pursue an alternative transaction, we will be required to pay Greenlane a termination fee of $8,000,000.

While we believe these provisions are reasonable, customary and not preclusive of other offers, the provisions might discourage a third party that has an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of KushCo from considering or proposing an alternative transaction, even if a third party were prepared to pay consideration or issue equity having a higher value than that which is anticipated in connection with the Mergers or if such party were prepared to enter into an agreement that may be more favorable to us or our stockholders.

Additional Merger Information

In connection with the proposed Mergers, Greenlane filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-256582) that includes a joint proxy statement of Greenlane and KushCo that also constitutes a prospectus of Greenlane. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on July 2, 2021. We filed the definitive joint proxy statement with the SEC on July 2, 2021 and it was mailed to our stockholders on or about July 6, 2021. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION, STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE JOINT PROXY STATEMENT AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS IN THEIR ENTIRETY AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERGERS OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE IN THE JOINT PROXY STATEMENT BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE MERGERS. The Company’s stockholders may obtain a free copy of the joint proxy statement and other relevant documents filed by the Company with the SEC at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the Company’s stockholders may obtain a copy of the proxy statement and other relevant documents free of charge from the Company’s website at www.kushco.com.

The Company and its directors, executive officers and certain other members of management and employees of the Company may be deemed to be “participants” in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Mergers. Information regarding the interests of the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be considered participants in the solicitation of the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Mergers, which may be different than those of the Company’s stockholders generally, are and will be set forth in the joint proxy statement and the other relevant documents to be filed with the SEC.

Information about our directors and executive officers is set forth in our proxy statement for the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, which was filed with the SEC on December 28, 2020. These documents can be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above. Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitations and a description of their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, are contained in the joint proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant materials filed with the SEC on July 2, 2021 and to be filed with the SEC.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As disclosed in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on November 10, 2020, on January 24, 2021 we exchanged our then outstanding Fourth Amended Senior Note in the aggregate principal amount of $19None.0 million for (i) the Fifth Amended Senior Note in the aggregate principal amount of $17.0 million and (ii) 1,481,482 shares of our common stock.The securities were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by reason of the exemption from registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(a)(2) thereof as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. No selling commissions were paid in connection with the issuance of these securities.
