| PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS |
The components of prepaid expenses and other current assets are as follows:
Employee Retention Credit Receivable
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, passed in March 2020 and subsequently amended in 2021, allowed eligible employers to take credits on certain amounts of qualified wages if the Company experienced either a full or partial suspension of operations due to COVID related government orders. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company, with guidance from a third-party specialist, determined it was entitled to employee retention credit (“ERC”) claims for previous business interruptions related to COVID and filed for such claims with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). As of December 31, 2024, the ERC claims were recorded as deferred income in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, with an offsetting receivable amount in Prepaid expenses and other current assets within the consolidated balance sheet.
On February 11, 2025, the Company executed an agreement with an unrelated third party to sell certain ERC claims, and received $5,081 in net cash proceeds on February 14, 2025. If the Company does not receive an ERC claim, in whole or in part, the Company is required to repay a portion of the funds equal to the amount of the rejected claim plus interest of 10% accrued from the date of the agreement through the repayment date. The Company is entitled to receive a portion of any interest paid on its respective ERC claims through the transaction date. The factored claims are included in Other liabilities - non-current within the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025. Amounts will be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations when the claims are paid by the IRS. As of March 31, 2025, $4,921 is included in .
The Company retained $4,162 of ERC claims. The amount reflected in as of March 31, 2025, of $1,978 represents the portion of retained claims that have not yet been refunded by the IRS.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company received payments on retained claims from the IRS in the amount of $2,168, plus interest on such amounts, which were recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the IRS paid $160 of factored claims plus interest, which is also recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations.
Assets Held for Sale
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company determined that certain assets relating to one of its dispensaries located in Nevada, with total carrying value of $611, met the criteria to be classified as assets held for sale, and is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The sale of the dispensary is expected to be completed within three months from March 31, 2025.
