NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Business Description
Description of the Business
Local Bounti Corporation ("Local Bounti" or the "Company") was founded in August 2018 and is headquartered in Hamilton, Montana. The Company is a producer of sustainably grown living lettuce, herbs, and loose leaf lettuce. The Company's vision is to deliver the freshest locally grown produce over the fewest food miles possible. The Company is a CEA company that utilizes patent pending Stack & Flow TechnologyTM, which is a hybrid of vertical and hydroponic greenhouse farming, to grow healthy food sustainably and affordably. Through the Company's CEA process, it is the Company's goal to produce its products in an environmentally sustainable manner that will increase harvest efficiency, limit water usage, and reduce the carbon footprint of the production and distribution process. The environmental greenhouse conditions help to ensure nutritional value and taste, and the Company's products are non-GMO and use significantly less pesticides and herbicides than traditional farming operations. The Company's sustainable growing methods use 90% less land and 90% less water than conventional farming methods. With a mission to 'bring our farm to your kitchen in the fewest food miles possible,' Local Bounti’s food is fresher, more nutritious, and lasts 3 to 5 times longer than traditional agriculture.
On April 4, 2022, the Company acquired California-based complementary indoor farming company Hollandia Produce Group, Inc. (the "Pete's Acquisition"), which operates under the name Pete’s® ("Pete's"). Pete’s is a California-based indoor farming company with three greenhouse growing facilities, including two operating facilities in California and one in Georgia. The Georgia facility commenced commercial operations in July 2022. Pete’s has distribution to approximately 10,000 retail locations across 35 U.S. states and Canadian provinces, primarily through direct relationships with blue-chip retail customers, including Albertsons, Kroger, Target, Walmart, Whole Foods, and AmazonFresh. Pete’s primary products include living butter lettuce – where it is a leading provider with an approximate 80 percent share of the CEA market within the Western U.S. – as well as packaged salad and cress. See Note 3, Acquisitions, for additional discussion of the Pete's Acquisition.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Management of Local Bounti is responsible for the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this document, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the statements herein.
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "Annual Financial Statements") as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of June 30, 2022, and its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021, was derived from the Annual Financial Statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the Annual Financial Statements.
There have been no material changes or updates to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those described in the Annual Financial Statements except for the updates noted below.
Change in Accounting Estimate
The calculation of depreciation expense is based on the estimated economic useful lives of the underlying property, plant and equipment. In April 2022, the Company completed an assessment of the useful lives of machinery and equipment and certain production equipment and adjusted the estimated useful life of machinery and equipment from five years to 15 years and the estimated useful life of certain production equipment from five to 10 years. Based on the carrying value of machinery and certain production equipment as of April 1, 2022, and those acquired during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the effect of this change in estimate was a reduction in depreciation expense of $117 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The change in the useful lives is considered a change in accounting estimate and has been applied prospectively.
Reclassification
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such changes include reclassifications or combinations of certain accounts within property and equipment, net. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Refer to Note 5, Property and Equipment for additional detail.
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Accordingly, the purchase consideration is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated respective fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The Company’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable, and as a result, actual results may differ from estimates.
Intangible Assets, Net
Definite-lived intangible assets are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives or over the pattern in which the economic benefit is expected to be consumed.
Goodwill
The Company records goodwill when consideration paid in a purchase acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible assets and the identified intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment may exist.
The Company’s impairment tests are based on a single reporting unit structure. The goodwill impairment test consists of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company did not recognize any impairment of goodwill during the periods presented.
Impairment Assessment
The Company evaluates intangible assets and other long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. This includes but is not limited to significant adverse changes in business climate, market conditions or other events that indicate an asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows used in the test for recoverability are less than the carrying amount of these assets, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40); Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options, which clarifies the accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (e.g., warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The Company adopted ASU 2021-04 on January 1, 2022 and applied the applicable amendments on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for 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 Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2022 and applied the applicable amendments on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
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): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liability and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The standard reduces the number of models used to account for convertible instruments, removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and requires the if-converted method for calculation of diluted earnings per share for all convertible instruments. The standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which amends the guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost, the amendment eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current U.S.
GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
3. Acquisitions
Business Combination
On April 4, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Pete’s, a California-based indoor farming company. The Company acquired Pete’s in order to leverage Pete's operational scale and retail distribution footprint to create a leading, scaled CEA operator with a national distribution footprint and access to approximately 10,000 retail doors. The purchase price consideration for the acquisition was $92.5 million in cash and 5,654,600 shares of Local Bounti common stock, which had an original consideration, at the time of signing, of $30.0 million and a fair value of $50.9 million as of the closing date of the Pete's Acquisition. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination.
Acquisition related costs of $344 thousand and $4,245 thousand were included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
The purchase consideration was preliminary allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with the excess recorded to goodwill as shown below. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and expanded market opportunities and was allocated to the Company's single reporting unit. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. For tax purposes, a 338(h)(10) election was filed to step up the tax basis of assets acquired to fair market value.
The preliminary allocation is as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | |
Intangible assets | $ | 55,019 |
Goodwill | 36,598 |
Net assets acquired | 55,607 |
Net liabilities assumed | (3,776) |
Total fair value of net assets acquired: | $ | 143,448 |
The measurement period for the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed ends as soon as information on the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date becomes available, but does not exceed twelve months. The purchase price allocation is subject to future adjustments related to income taxes or other contingencies.
The following table sets forth the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired as of the date of the acquisition (in thousands):
| | | | | |
Customer relationships | $ | 41,700 |

Asset Acquisition
On April 4, 2022, in connection with consummating the transactions contemplated by the Pete's Acquisition purchase agreements, Pete’s acquired the properties previously being leased by Pete’s from STORE Master Funding XVIII, LLC ("STORE") pursuant to certain sale-leaseback agreements between Pete’s and STORE for an aggregate purchase price of $25.8 million in cash (the "Property Acquisition").

Total debt | $ | 105,182 | | $ | 11,199 |
Agreements with Cargill Financial
In September 2021, the Company and Cargill Financial entered into (a) a credit agreement (the "Original Senior Credit Agreement") for an up to $150.0 million multiple-advance term loan (the "Senior Facility") and (b) a subordinated credit agreement (the "Original Subordinated Credit Agreement" and, together with the Original Senior Credit Agreement, the "Original Credit Agreements") for an up to $50.0 million multiple-advance subordinated term loan (the "Subordinated Facility" and, together with the Senior Facility, the "Original Facilities").
First Amendment of the Original Credit Agreements
On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Original Credit Agreements (the "First Amendment") to amend the Original Credit Agreements and the Original Facilities (as amended, the "Amended Facilities"), subject to and effective upon closing the Pete’s acquisition. On April 4, 2022, the First Amendment became effective whereby (a) the Pete’s Acquisition was funded pursuant to the Amended Facilities, (b) the aggregate commitment amount of the Original Facilities was reduced to $170.0 million, (c) the minimum liquidity covenant was
reduced from $30.0 million to $20.0 million (inclusive of existing restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) and (d) the interest rate of each of the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility increased by 2%, among other matters. Pursuant to the First Amendment, in connection with the closing of the Pete's Acquisition, the Company (i) paid a $2.0 million amendment fee and (ii) issued 1,932,931 shares of common stock to Cargill Financial. The First Amendment was accounted for as a modification to a line of credit. Accordingly, the Company wrote off unamortized debt issuance costs in proportion to the decrease in borrowing capacity of the Original Credit Agreements of $735 thousand. The write-off amount was recorded as interest expense in the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The First Amendment fee of $2.0 million and the issued 1,932,931 shares of common stock with a fair value at the time of issuance of $17.4 million was recorded as additional debt discount and is amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the Amended Facilities agreement on a straightline basis.
The interest rate on the Subordinated Facility subsequent to the First Amendment is 12.5% per annum, with accrued interest on the agreement paid quarterly in arrears on the last business day of each calendar quarter, commencing the last business day of the calendar quarter ended December 31, 2021, and on the maturity date of September 3, 2028.
The interest rate on the Senior Facility subsequent to the First Amendment is equal to SOFR plus a margin (which varies between 7.5% to 8.5% depending on the Senior Facility net leverage ratio). The maturity date of the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility is September 3, 2028.
Second Amendment of the Original Credit Agreements
On August 11, 2022, the Company, along with certain subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a second amendment to the Amended Facilities (the "Second Amendment") with Cargill Financial to amend the Amended Facilities. The Second Amendment provides that, until the earliest to occur of (x) the occurrence of any event of default, (y) the effective date of a qualified equity financing and (z) March 31, 2024, (a) the requirement for the minimum interest amount for the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility is reduced to an amount equal to the greater of (i) $0 and (ii) the sum of all interest payments due and payable under the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility in respect of term loans outstanding for a period of four calendar quarters (equal to $9.1 million and $5.2 million for the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility, respectively, as of June 30, 2022).
In effect, the Second Amendment reduces the minimum interest amount from the sum of all interest payments due and payable under the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility for a period of eight calendar quarters down to a period of four calendar quarters, as described above. This reduced the amount of restricted cash by approximately $7.2 million, effective as of June 30, 2022.
The Amended Facilities have an unused revolving line commitment fee in an amount of 125 basis points per annum of the unused portion of the Amended Facilities.
As part of the Amended Facilities, the Company is required to have an interest reserve account which is shown as restricted cash and cash equivalents on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In accordance with the Second Amendment, the balance of the Company's interest reserve account was $18,583 at June 30, 2022 as compared to $4,416 at December 31, 2021. The Amended Facilities also require the Company to be in compliance with certain financial covenants, including specified debt coverage, net leverage, and interest coverage ratios. Additional covenants and other restrictions exist that limit the Company’s ability, among other things, to undergo a merger or consolidation, sell certain assets, create liens, guarantee certain obligations of third parties, make certain investments or acquisitions, and declare dividends or make distributions. In accordance with the Amended Facilities, budgets and timelines for CEA facilities also have to be approved by Cargill Financial and the Company is required to report ongoing CEA facility construction costs. The credit facility is secured with a first-priority lien against substantially all of the assets of the Company, including its intellectual property. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants as of June 30, 2022.

Unvested and outstanding at June 30, 2022 | 5,270,769 | | $ | 1.77 | | 10,307,954 | | $ | 6.71 |
The total expense of RSAs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $841 thousand and $1,758 thousand. As of June 30, 2022, the total compensation cost related to unvested RSAs not yet recognized is $4,462 thousand. Expense for unvested RSAs not yet recognized is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.97 years.
The total expense value of RSUs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $10,855 thousand and $20,951 thousand. There was no expense for RSUs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, the total compensation cost related to unvested RSUs not yet recognized is $47,617 thousand. Expense for unvested RSUs not yet recognized is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.61 years.
10. Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. In computing net loss per share, the Company’s unvested restricted common stock and warrants are not considered participating securities. Diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for all periods presented because the effects of potentially dilutive items were anti-dilutive given the Company’s net loss. Diluted net loss per common share adjusts basic net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders to give effect to all potential ordinary shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, no instrument was determined to have a dilutive effect under the treasury method.
The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s net loss per share attributable to stockholders (in thousands, except share and per share data):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| 2022 | | 2021 | | 2022 | | 2021 |
Net loss | $ | (31,663) | | | $ | (7,590) | | | $ | (57,435) | | | $ | (16,988) | |
Weighted average common stock outstanding, basic and diluted | 88,607,316 | | | 49,131,555 | | | 84,830,885 | | | 49,131,555 | |

11. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
The Company has and may become party to various legal proceedings and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is probable that a loss will be incurred, and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management is currently not aware of any matters that it expects will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
12. Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet date through the date the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued.
The Company entered into the Second Amendment with an effective date of June 30, 2022, as described in Note 7, Debt. Restricted cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2022 reflects the impact of the Second Amendment.
There have been no other events or transactions that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2022 that require recognition or disclosure.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the Notes to those statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the section entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." As discussed in more detail in the section entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," this discussion contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Overview
Local Bounti was founded in August 2018 and is headquartered in Hamilton, Montana. We are a producer of sustainably grown living lettuce, herbs, and loose leaf lettuce. Our vision is to deliver the freshest locally grown produce over the fewest food miles possible. We are a CEA company that utilizes patent pending Stack & Flow TechnologyTM, which is a hybrid of vertical and hydroponic greenhouse farming, to grow healthy food sustainably and affordably. Through our CEA process, it is our goal to produce our products in an environmentally sustainable manner that will increase harvest efficiency, limit water usage and reduce the carbon footprint of the production and distribution process. The environmental greenhouse conditions help to ensure nutritional value and taste, and our products are non-GMO and use significantly less pesticides and herbicides than traditional farming operations. Our products use 90% less water and 90% less land than conventional agriculture to produce. Our first CEA facility in Hamilton, Montana, commenced construction in 2019 and reached full commercial operation by the second half of 2020. We increased the capacity of the Montana facility by approximately 140% to 12 hydroponic ponds in the third quarter of 2021.
On April 4, 2022, we acquired Pete’s. Pete’s is a California-based indoor farming company with a distribution to approximately 10,000 retail locations across 35 U.S. states and Canadian provinces, primarily through direct relationships with blue-chip retail customers, including Albertsons, Kroger, Target, Walmart, Whole Foods, and AmazonFresh. Pete's has three greenhouse growing facilities, including two operating facilities in California and one in Georgia which commenced commercial operations in July 2022. The new Georgia facility will provide additional capacity to meet existing demand from our retail customers. Pete’s primary products include living butter lettuce – where it is a leading provider with an approximate 80% share of the CEA market within the Western U.S. – as well as packaged salad and cress. Pete’s has been in operation for over 50 years while focusing the last 25 years in leafy greens, has long-standing relationships with the majority of its customers, and has a demonstrated track record of generating positive EBITDA. We plan to install our patent pending Stack & Flow Technology™ at Pete’s facilities, combining the best aspects of vertical and greenhouse growing technologies to deliver higher yields of diverse leafy greens at superior unit economics.
We derive the majority of our revenue from the sale of produce. We grow and package fresh greens that are sold into existing markets and channels such as food retailers and food service distributors from our Montana facility, two California facilities, and the new Georgia facility. Sales are recognized at a point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer.
We periodically offer sales incentives to our customers, including temporary price reductions. We anticipate that these promotional activities could impact sales and that changes in such activities could impact period-over-period results. Sales may also vary from period to period depending on the purchase orders we receive, the volume and mix of products sold and the channels through which our products are sold. In response to realized cost inflation, the Company expects to realize the benefit from price increases during the third or fourth quarter of 2022.
We intend to increase our production capacity and expand our reach to new markets, new geographies, and new customers through either the building of new facilities or through the acquisition of existing greenhouse facilities which we will update with our Stack & Flow Technology™. Whether to build new facilities or acquire existing facilities is determined through ongoing buy versus build analyses performed by management. We also expect to expand our product offering to new varieties of fresh greens, herbs, berries, and other produce. Additionally, we evaluate commercial opportunities as part of these expansion efforts on an ongoing basis, including potential offtake agreements with national retailers, one of which is in advanced stages of negotiation but has not been finalized.
The future Pasco, Washington facility continues to progress toward construction, which is expected to recommence in September of 2022. The site is being redesigned to further optimize operational synergies, drive best in class unit economics, and to account for synergies with Pete’s growing systems to meet demand across the combined product portfolio.
Local Bounti is currently in diligence on a site for its next facility to be located in eastern Texas. This location was chosen based on conversations with customers and prospective customers in coordination with potential off-take agreements.
Environmental, Social and Governance
Conventional agriculture has been feeding the world for hundreds of years, yet given the negative impacts of climate change, it is now struggling to keep pace. Add to that the COVID–19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and its impact on not only food supply but also the cost of fertilizer and other inputs used in traditional agriculture, an already stressed food supply system is experiencing even more pressure. Sustainability has emerged as a global imperative, and when it comes to agriculture, it is clear we must find ways to do better. We believe growing healthy vegetables is good business, and our growing technology delivers clean produce with safer growing methods, which we believe benefits all stakeholders and differentiates us from traditional agriculture. We expect that consumer demand for clean, nutritious, locally grown, and high-quality products will increase over time.
Our compact, efficient, and local farms provide fresh produce with minimum transportation distances. Combined with our advanced technologies, the location of our facilities in less developed communities and areas with available supporting resources such as adequate water and renewable energy, we believe Local Bounti has the potential to be among the most sustainable produce suppliers in the nation.
More information on our key environmental, social and governance ("ESG") programs, goals and commitments, and key metrics can be found in our 2021 sustainability report, which is available on our website.
While we believe our ESG goals align with our long-term growth strategy and financial and operational priorities, they are aspirational and may change, and there is no guarantee or promise that they will be met.
Factors Affecting Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations
We expect to expend substantial resources as we:
•identify and invest in future growth opportunities, including new product lines;
•complete construction and commission the Pasco, Washington facility and invest in additional CEA facilities in the future, including our next facility to be located in eastern Texas;
•integrate Pete's operations into our business;
•invest in product innovation and development;
•invest in sales and marketing efforts to increase brand awareness, engage customers and drive sales of our products; and
•incur additional general administration expenses, including increased finance, legal and accounting expenses associated with being a public company, and growing operations.

The following sections discuss and analyze the changes in the significant line items in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the comparative periods in the table above.
Sales
Sale of Produce
We derive the majority of our revenue from the sale of produce. In response to realized cost inflation, the Company expects to realize the benefit from price increases during the third or fourth quarter of 2022.
Sale of produce increased by $6,161 thousand to $6,269 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Sales of produce increased by $6,386 thousand to $6,551 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase for both periods was due primarily to the acquisition of Pete's, which added more than 10,000 retail locations nationwide.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of costs related to growing produce at our greenhouse growing facilities, including labor, seeds and other input supplies, packaging materials, depreciation, stock-based compensation, and utilities. We expect that, over time, cost of goods sold will decrease as a percentage of sales, as a result of scaling our business.
Cost of goods sold increased by $6,200 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, due primarily to increased sales during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, cost of goods sold was negatively impacted for three months ended June 30, 2022 due to the fair value step-up to expected selling price of acquired inventory from the Pete's Acquisition during the quarter. This acquired inventory was subsequently sold during the quarter at the stepped-up value or at a zero margin, which negatively impacted gross margin by $1,042 or 16.6%. In addition, the increase in cost of goods sold reflects temporary supply chain challenges with suppliers that have since been resolved, but impacted second quarter yields in its California facilities, resulting in higher costs to fill orders.
Cost of goods sold increased by $6,394 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, due primarily to increased sales during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, cost of goods sold was negatively impacted for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to the fair value step-up to expected selling price of acquired inventory from the Pete's Acquisition during the quarter. This acquired inventory was subsequently sold during the quarter at the stepped-up value or at a zero margin, which negatively impacted gross margin by $1,042 or 15.9%. In addition, the increase in cost of goods sold reflects temporary supply chain challenges with suppliers that have since been resolved, but impacted second quarter yields in its California facilities, resulting in higher costs to fill orders.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation to employees engaged in research and development activities, including salaries, stock-based compensation, and related benefits, overhead (including depreciation, utilities and other related allocated expenses), and supplies and services related to the development of our growing processes. Our research and development efforts are focused on the development of our processes utilizing our CEA facility, increasing production yields, developing new leafy green SKUs, and entering into new crops, including berries. Due to our ongoing research and development, we are currently generating approximately 26 crop turns annually for our commercial loose-leaf lettuce, which compares to approximately 17 to 22 turns annually as of December 31, 2021. We expect, over time, that research and development will decrease as a percentage of sales, as a result of the establishment of our growing process.
Research and development costs increased by $2,350 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Research and development costs increased by $4,759 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase for both periods was due to increased investment in research and development as we continue to expand our product offering and refine our growing process. We incurred costs for research and development of our production, harvesting, and post-harvest packaging techniques and processes, as well as production surplus costs related to the development of our production process.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist of employee compensation, including salaries, stock-based compensation, and related benefits for our executive, legal, finance, information technology, human resources and sales and marketing teams, expenses for third-party professional services, insurance, marketing, advertising, computer hardware and software, and amortization of intangible assets, among others.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $20,179 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, due to a $10,673 thousand increase in stock-based compensation expense driven by the vesting of stock awards and a higher volume of equity awards granted during the three months ended June 30, 2022 at significantly higher company stock prices in 2022 as compared to 2021, a $3,639 thousand increase in salaries and wages due to increased headcount from Company growth and to support operations as a public company, a $2,096 thousand increase in amortization of intangibles acquired as part of the Pete's Acquisition, a $891 thousand increase in insurance costs, and a $612 thousand increase in professional consulting fees.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $33,246 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, due to a $16,744 thousand increase in stock-based compensation expense driven by the vesting of stock awards and a higher volume of equity awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022 at significantly higher company stock prices in 2022 as compared to 2021, a $6,699 thousand increase in salaries and wages due to increased headcount from Company growth and to support operations as a public company, a $4,245 thousand increase in transaction costs due to the acquisition of Pete's, a $2,096 thousand increase in amortization of intangibles acquired as part of the Pete's Acquisition, a $1,665 thousand increase in insurance costs, and a $819 thousand increase in professional consulting fees.
Convertible Notes Fair Value Adjustment
During 2021, we entered into a series of identical convertible long-term notes with various parties with a face value of $26,050 thousand that bore interest at 8% with a maturity date of February 8, 2023 (the "Convertible Notes"). All Convertible Notes were converted into shares of common stock in connection with the business combination of Local Bounti and Leo Holdings III Corp on November 19, 2021.
Prior to the conversion of the Convertible Notes into shares of common stock, we measured Convertible Notes at fair value based on significant inputs not observable in the market, resulting in these Convertible Notes being classified as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the fair value of Convertible Notes related to updated assumptions and estimates were recognized as a Convertible Notes fair value adjustment within the results of operations.
There was no Convertible Notes fair value adjustment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as all the Convertible Notes were converted into shares of common stock in connection with the business combination of Local Bounti and Leo Holdings III Corp on November 19, 2021.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense related to the loans with Cargill Financial and interest recognized per the terms of our financing obligation related to the Montana facility.
Interest expense, net increased by $4,197 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is primarily due to a $42,500 thousand increase in the principal amount outstanding on the Subordinated Facility and a $85,674 thousand increase in the principal amount outstanding on the Senior Facility as compared to the prior year period, which resulted in an additional interest expense of $3,354
thousand as compared to the prior year period. Additional interest expense of $932 thousand was incurred from amortization of loan origination fees for the loans with Cargill Financial and $735 thousand of unamortized debt issuance costs that were written off in connection with the First Amendment as described in Note 7, Debt . This increase was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $593 thousand related to a $10,000 thousand term loan with Cargill Financial that was paid off in September 2021 and a decrease in interest expense of $467 thousand related to our Convertible Notes which were converted into shares of common stock in connection with the business combination of Local Bounti and Leo Holdings III Corp on November 19, 2021.
Interest expense, net increased by $5,435 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is primarily due to a $42,500 thousand increase in the principal amount outstanding on the Subordinated Facility and a $85,674 thousand increase in the principal amount outstanding on the Senior Facility as compared to the prior year period, which resulted in an additional interest expense of $4,356 thousand. Additional interest expense of $1,123 thousand was incurred from amortization of loan origination fees for the loans with Cargill Financial and $735 thousand of unamortized debt issuance costs that were written off in connection with the First Amendment as described in Note 7, Debt. This increase was offset by a decrease in interest expense of $648 thousand related to a $10,000 thousand term loan with Cargill Financial that was paid off in September 2021 and a decrease of $610 thousand related to our Convertible Notes which were converted into shares of common stock in connection with the business combination of Local Bounti and Leo Holdings III Corp on November 19, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since our inception. At June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $125,677 thousand, working capital of $40,685 thousand, and cash of $41,286 thousand comprised of $22,703 cash and cash equivalents and $18,583 restricted cash and cash equivalents used to service our debt with Cargill Financial.
As of June 30, 2022, the principal amounts due under our debt instruments totaled $128.2 million, none of which is classified as current. These debt agreements contain various financial and non-financial covenants and certain restrictions on our business, which include restrictions on additional indebtedness and material adverse effects, that could cause us to be at risk of default. A failure to comply with the covenants and other provisions of this debt instrument, including any failure to make payments when required, would generally result in events of default under such instruments, which could result in the acceleration of a substantial portion of such indebtedness.
The CEA business is capital-intensive. Currently, our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, restricted cash, cash flows generated from the sale of our products and a credit facility with Cargill Financial. Cash expenditures over the next 12 months are expected to include interest payments on debt obligations, employee wages and related benefits, costs associated with planting and harvesting, such as the purchase of seeds and growing supplies and facility maintenance costs, and construction/expansion of our growing facilities.
We believe that our current cash position, cash flow from operations, and borrowing capacity under our credit facility with Cargill Financial are sufficient to fund our cash requirements for the next 12 months. Availability for reimbursement of construction costs under the credit facility is limited up to 75% of construction costs with the remaining 25% of such costs financed with Local Bounti capital. We expect that we will need to access the capital markets to finance future cash requirements, which may not occur timely or on satisfactory terms, if at all, and agree to burdensome covenants, grant further security interests in our assets or enter into equity arrangements on terms that are not favorable and dilutive to existing shareholders. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed could have significant negative consequences for our business, financial condition and results of consolidated operations. In the event that our plans change or our cash requirements are greater than we anticipate, we may need to curtail operations.
Cargill Loans
In September 2021, the Company and Cargill Financial entered into the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility whereby Cargill Financial agreed to make advances to the Company of up to $150,000 thousand and $50,000 thousand, respectively. Subsequent to the First Amendment as described in Note 7, Debt, the aggregate commitment amount was reduced to $170.0 million and the interest rate on the Subordinated Facility is 12.5% per annum and the interest rate on the Senior Facility is equal to the SOFR plus a margin (which varies between 7.5% to 8.5% depending on the Senior Facility net leverage ratio), with accrued interest paid quarterly in arrears on the last business day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the last business day of the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2021, and on the maturity date of September 3, 2028. As of June 30, 2022, a total of $42,500 thousand $85,674 was outstanding on the Subordinated Facility and the Senior Facility, respectively. The Subordinated Facility and the Senior Facility are included in "Long-term debt" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
At June 30, 2022, our payment obligations for the Subordinated Facility and the Senior Facility are as follows(1):
| | | | | |
(in thousands) | |
Remainder of 2022 | $ | 7,439 |
2023 | 14,878 |
2024 | 14,878 |
2025 | 14,878 |
2026 | 14,878 |
Thereafter | 152,969 |
Total | $ | 219,920 |
_____________________
(1)Interest is calculated based on a 12.5% interest rate for the Subordinated Facility and a 10.56% interest rate for the Senior Facility effective as of July 1, 2022. The calculation also include an unused commitment fee of 1.25%.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $142,673 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to the acquisitions described in Note 3, Acquisitions, including the Pete's Acquisition for net cash outlay of $91,393 thousand and the Property Acquisition for net cash outlay of $25,813 thousand. Additional cash used in investing activities related to $25,467 thousand of purchases of equipment and other items for the Washington, Georgia, and Montana CEA facilities.
Net cash used in investing activities was $8,087 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021, due to purchases of property and equipment and other items related to the expansion of the Montana facility and the purchase of land for the Pasco, Washington facility.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $38,906 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021, due to proceeds of $26,000 thousand from the issuance of Convertible Notes, proceeds of $10,500 thousand from the
issuance of long-term debt, and proceeds of $3,210 thousand from financing obligations related to the sale leaseback transaction with Grow Bitterroot for the Montana facility. This increase was partially offset by a $654 thousand cash repayment of debt and $150 thousand in debt issuance costs.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no changes to the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates from those described under "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For more information about recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated into this Item 2 by reference thereto.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Inflation Risk
The primary inflationary factors affecting our business are raw material costs, shipping and freight costs, and labor costs. We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations to date. Nonetheless, our costs are subject to inflationary pressures, which we expect to continue, and if those pressures become significant, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Interest Rate Risk
Borrowings under the Senior Facility bears interest based on SOFR plus a margin (which varies between 7.5% to 8.5% depending on the Senior Facility net leverage ratio). As such, this debt instrument exposes us to market risk for changes in interest rates. We do not currently hedge against interest rate risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the continuing material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the lack of adequate finance and accounting personnel as disclosed in "Part II. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Remediation Plan
Management is continuing to implement the remediation plan as disclosed in "Part II. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, to ensure that the deficiency contributing to the material weakness is remediated such that this control will operate effectively.
We believe that these actions, and the improvements we expect to achieve as a result, will effectively remediate the material weakness. However, the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until management has concluded, through testing, that controls are designed effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2022 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material updates to our risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as updated by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
There were no unregistered sales of our equity securities during the period covered by this quarterly report that were not previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 5. Other Information
Second Amendment to Credit Agreements
In September 2021, the Company, along with certain other subsidiaries of the Company entered into the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility and subsequently entered into the First Amendment in March 2022.
On August 11, 2022, the Company, along with certain subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a Second Amendment to the Amended Facilities (the "Second Amendment") with Cargill Financial to amend the Amended Facilities. The Second Amendment reduces the amount of cash required to be held in the debt service reserve account for the Credit Agreements by approximately $7.2 million under certain conditions, effective as of June 30, 2022 (the "Second Amendment Effective Date").
The Second Amendment provides that, until the earliest to occur of (x) the occurrence of any event of default, (y) the effective date of a qualified equity financing and (z) March 31, 2024, (a) the requirement for the minimum interest amount for the Senior Facility is reduced to an amount equal to the greater of (i) $0 and (ii) the sum of all interest payments due and payable under the Senior Facility in respect of term loans outstanding for a period of four (4) calendar quarters (equal to $9.1 million as of the Second Amendment Effective Date) and (b) the requirement for the initial minimum interest amount for the Subordinated Facility is reduced to an amount equal to the greater of (i) $0 and (i) the sum of all interest payments due and payable under the Subordinated Facility in respect of term loans outstanding for a period of four (4) calendar quarters (equal to $5.2 million as of the Second Amendment Effective Date).
In effect, the Second Amendment reduces the minimum interest amount from the sum of all interest payments due and payable under the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility for a period of eight calendar quarters down to a period of four calendar quarters, as described above. This reduced the amount of restricted cash by approximately $7.2 million, effective as of June 30, 2022.
The foregoing description of the Second Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

2. Amendments to Senior Credit Agreement. The Senior Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) Section 1.1 of the Senior Credit Agreement is amended by adding or amending and restating, as the case may be, the following definitions:
“Minimum Interest Amount” means (x) so long as the Qualified Reduced Interest Reserve Period is in effect, an amount equal to the greater of (I) $0 and (II) the sum of all interest payments due and payable by the Borrowers in respect of Term Loans outstanding for a period of four (4) calendar quarters (equal to $9,142,898.05 as of the Second Amendment Effective Date), and (y) at all other times until (and including) the last Business Day of the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2024, an amount equal to the greater of (I) $0 and (II) the sum of all interest payments due and payable by the Borrowers in respect of Term Loans outstanding during the period commencing on the First Amendment Funding Date and ending on the last Business Day of the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2024; provided that, in the case of each of the preceding clause (x) and clause (y), to the extent the aggregate principal balance of outstanding Term Loans during such applicable period is at any time less than $75,000,000, the Minimum Interest Amount shall be determined assuming that aggregate principal balance of outstanding Term Loans is $75,000,000.

(a) Such Loan Party is a corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization. Each Loan Party (i) has all requisite power and authority and all requisite governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals to (A) own or lease its assets and carry on its business and (B) execute and deliver this Amendment and perform its obligations under this Amendment, the Credit Agreements as amended hereby and each agreement, instrument or document entered into pursuant to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Amendment Documents”), and (ii) is duly qualified and is licensed and, if applicable, in good standing under the Laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification or license, except, in the case of clause (ii), in jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) The execution and delivery by such Loan Party of this Amendment, and the performance by such Loan Party of the Amendment Documents, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not and will not (i) contravene the terms of its Organizational Documents, (ii) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, or require any payment to be made under, (A) any Contractual Obligation (including, without limitation, any Material Agreement or any Contractual Obligation relating to borrowed money) to which such Loan Party is a party or affecting any such Loan Party or the properties of such Loan Party or (B) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which such Loan Party or its property is subject, or (iii) violate any Law other than any violation, in the case of this clause (iii), that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party. Each Amendment Document constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party
that is a party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.
(d) All of the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents, including without limitation in Article III of each Credit Agreement, are true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any such representation or warranty already qualified by materiality, in all respects) on and as of the date hereof.
(e) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would result from, (i) the execution and delivery of this Amendment or (ii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Amendment or the Credit Agreements as amended hereby.
7. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall be effective as of the Second Amendment Effective Date upon receipt by the Senior Lender and the Subordinated Lender of a copy of this Amendment, duly executed by the Loan Parties, the Senior Lender and the Subordinated Lender.

Neither the execution of this Amendment or of any other agreement, instrument or document contemplated hereunder, nor any oral communication between the Senior Lender, the Subordinated Lender and any Loan Party, nor the making of any financial accommodation, nor any acceptance of any payment of the Obligations, shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or any other breach, default or event of default under any Loan Document or other document held by the Senior Lender or the Subordinated Lender, whether or not known to the Senior Lender or the Subordinated Lender and whether or not existing on the date hereof.
9. Release of Lenders.

This Amendment, together with the Credit Agreements as amended hereby and the other Loan Documents, comprises the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to such subject matter, superseding all prior oral or written understandings.
