NOTE 10 – LEASES

Management determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset. Such assets are classified as right-of-use assets (“lease assets”) with a corresponding lease liability.

Finance and operating lease assets and liabilities are recorded at commencement at the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term. As the implicit discount rate for the present value calculation is not determinable in most of the Company’s leases, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement of the lease. The expected lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such options. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Leases with an expected term of 12 months or less are not accounted for on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.

Operating Lease

On October 1, 2024, the Company acquired Edible Garden Corp. (“EGC”) from Unrivaled Brands, Inc., our former parent company, for the nominal price of $1.00. At our inception, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of EGC from Unrivaled Brands, Inc., except for the lease agreement between EGC and Whitetown Realty, LLC (the “Landlord”), made as of December 30, 2014 (the “Lease Agreement”), as amended by a lease extension agreement between EGC and the Landlord dated September 10, 2019 (the “Lease Extension,” together with the Lease Agreement, the “Lease”), for a 5-acre greenhouse location in Belvidere, New Jersey. As a result, prior to October 1, 2024, we operated the New Jersey property through an informal arrangement with EGC in which the Company effectively rented the property on a month-to-month basis with no set term. On October 1, 2024, upon the closing of the acquisition of EGC, we assumed the Lease and became subject to its terms. The Lease has a term that commenced on January 1, 2015 and ends on December 31, 2029. Under the terms of the Lease, the Company will pay the Landlord a monthly lease payment of approximately $22,000 in 2025.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, total operating lease cost was $646,526, of which $14,689 was associated with short-term leases. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, total operating lease cost was $136,244, of which $28,463 was associated with short-term leases.
