("Agripharm"), 10831425 Canada Ltd. d/b/a/ Greenhouse Juice Company ("Greenhouse Juice"), and NOYA Cannabis Inc. ("NOYA", formerly known as Radicle Medical Marijuana Inc.), as well as lease income of $0.1 million generated from the Company's lease agreement with The Tweed Tree Lot Inc. ("Tweed Tree Lot") related to a property that the Company formerly owned in New Brunswick.

Operating expenses were $2.5 million for the quarter.

The Company also reported a net decrease in the fair value of financial assets that are reported at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") of $36.2 million for the quarter.

RIV Capital ended the quarter with $212.5 million of cash on hand. During the quarter, the Company made a $7.5 million payment in connection with the PharmHouse Credit Facility (see below) and settled a $17.6 million tax liability, which primarily related to the capital gains realized on the transaction between RIV Capital and Canopy Growth (among others) that closed in February 2021. In connection with the disposition of the Canopy Growth shares (discussed above) at an average disposition price that was below the tax basis of said shares, the Company recognized an income tax receivable on its statement of financial position as at June 30, 2021, related to its expected recovery of cash taxes paid due to the capital loss realized on its disposition of Canopy Growth shares.
The Hawthorne Collective Investment Summary
Subsequent to Q1 2022, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement with The Hawthorne Collective, a newly-formed cannabis-focused subsidiary of The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company ("ScottsMiracle-Gro") (NYSE: SMG) for the purchase of a US$150.0 million unsecured convertible note from RIV Capital (the "Investment"). The Investment establishes RIV Capital as The Hawthorne Collective's preferred vehicle for cannabis-related investments not currently under the purview of The Hawthorne Gardening Company, ScottsMiracle-Gro's subsidiary focused on indoor and hydroponic growing supplies. RIV Capital's strategy remains the same, as the Company continues to focus on executing on its previously disclosed plans to acquire, invest in, launch, and/or develop US assets to build a multistate cannabis operating and brand platform.
Any investments or acquisitions in the US cannabis market may be inconsistent with the rules and policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"). The completion of the Investment is conditional on the Company's ability to delist its common shares from the TSX and list its common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE"), which it intends to complete prior to the closing of the Investment in order to compliantly execute its go-forward corporate strategy. Accordingly, the Company has submitted an application to voluntarily delist its common shares from the TSX and has received conditional approval to list on the CSE. The Company expects the common shares to be delisted from the TSX at the close of market on August 24, 2021, and for trading on the CSE under the symbol "RIV" to commence on or before August 24, 2021. The Investment is expected to close on or around August 24, 2021, following the completion of the stock exchange transition.
PharmHouse Update
During the quarter, PharmHouse Inc. ("PharmHouse"), through its Sale and Investor Solicitation Process, closed the sale of its greenhouse facility (the "PharmHouse Sale"). Concurrent with the closing of the PharmHouse Sale, the Company made a payment of approximately $7.5 million to the lenders (the "Lenders") of PharmHouse's $90.0 million non-revolving syndicated credit facility (the "PharmHouse Credit Facility"), which the Company had guaranteed. The net proceeds received from the PharmHouse Sale, when combined with this $7.5 million payment and the previously-announced $25.0 million payment made by the Company to the Lenders in March 2021, satisfied all obligations outstanding pursuant to the PharmHouse Credit Facility.
As a result, the PharmHouse Credit Facility was terminated and cancelled, and the Company is entitled to any cash available for distribution upon termination of PharmHouse's proceedings under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA"). Accordingly, the Company recognized a financial asset on its statement of financial position as at June 30, 2021, based upon the proceeds expected to be available for distribution of approximately $6.5 million. The Company anticipates the CCAA proceedings to be terminated, and the distribution to be received, in the coming weeks.
Q1 2022 Portfolio Updates
The following represents a brief summary of other developments in the RIV Capital portfolio during and subsequent to Q1 2022:
-- Headset Inc. ("Headset") launched its Insights Premium platform in
Pennsylvania, marking the first time a full market read of consumer
insights has been available for the state. Headset notes that
Pennsylvania's medical-only market brought in approximately US$909.0
million between April 2020 and March 2021. Headset also released several
reports highlighting trends and growth in the broader U.S. market. In
April, it projected that cannabis sales in the U.S. will reach
approximately US$23.0 billion in 2022. Finally, Headset raised US$1.8
million to expand its market-leading data platform into new markets.
-- Subsequent to the quarter, Gage Growth Corp. announced that COOKIES, one
of the best-known cannabis brands in the world, will be grown and
distributed in Canada by NOYA.
-- ZeaKal, Inc. ("ZeaKal") announced that its PhotoSeed(TM) technology is
the first plant trait proven to enhance the oil profile of hemp.
According to ZeaKal's analytical chemistry data, PhotoSeed increased oil
composition in hemp biomass by up to 50% relative to controls, comprising
up to 8% of the plant's dry weight.
-- Greenhouse Juice began distributing its products at Costco locations in
Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia and announced a new
retail location at Stackt Market in Toronto. Subsequent to the quarter,
Greenhouse Juice announced a partnership with Too Good To Go to combat
food waste.
-- Dynaleo Inc. began distributing its Sunshower and DYNATHRIVE CBD in
British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Ontario. It also completed a
$9.7 million oversubscribed equity financing.

Canopy Rivers Announces Organizational Changes to Streamline Operations
STOCKS May 28, 2020 • 7:04 AM EDT
5 MIN READ • BY ANTHONY VARRELL
SHARE Share - Facebook Share - Twitter
Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX: RIV, OTC: CNPOF) today announced a series of operational changes designed to optimize its organizational structure, streamline operations, and preserve and maximize cash-on-hand.
As part of its strategic and operational review of the business, the Company announced today the following changes:
A material reduction in the Company’s operating cash outflows, including a reduction in headcount, directors’ compensation, marketing expenses, and general corporate expenses of a minimum of 35% from the Company’s fiscal 2020 operating cash outflows on a normalized basis;
A focus on generating positive cash flow from operations for fiscal 2021 (year ended March 31, 2021); and
A focus on maximizing returns on existing assets.
The Company also reaffirms its intention, under its previously announced normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB“), to repurchase subordinated voting shares in accordance with its NCIB. Pursuant to the previously announced NCIB, the Company is permitted to repurchase up to 10% of the subordinated voting shares in the public float.
“We believe that sharpening our focus on financial discipline, operational excellence, and opportunistic capital deployment on our investment pipeline will yield long-term results for shareholders,” said Narbe Alexandrian, President & CEO. “In addition, the strategic utilization of our NCIB could be an important tool to provide attractive returns to shareholders.”
“Our cash on hand from our prior capital raises and returns from certain investments will allow us to deploy capital opportunistically moving forward, both towards new investment opportunities and in conjunction with our NCIB,” continued Alexandrian. “These unprecedented times, while difficult, are revealing investment opportunities at attractive valuations, and we intend to actively execute on our investment pipeline during this time. Our expectation is that our efforts to achieve positive operational cash flow, conserve and deploy capital on a strategic basis, and focus on our core business objectives will better align our share price with our underlying net asset value.”
