Los Angeles Faces Another Cannabis Company Struggle
In a surprising turn of events, Gold Flora Corp., a well-known cannabis company based in Southern California, has entered receivership. This move comes as the company grapples with a growing pile of financial troubles alongside legal issues stemming from a merger gone wrong with TPCO Holdings in 2023. With 16 dispensaries scattered across California and annual revenues exceeding $100 million, the decision to go this route has left many in the community wondering what comes next for this once-thriving cannabis enterprise.
The Road to Receivership
The decision to seek a court-monitored receivership in Los Angeles Superior Court wasn’t made lightly. Rising operational costs, paired with hefty legal fees related to the merger, have forced Gold Flora to take drastic measures. With total assets valued at $209.7 million and total liabilities hitting a staggering $273.1 million as of September 30, the gap is undeniably large. The company recently reported a net loss of $18.8 million with revenues near $32.6 million for just the third quarter of 2024, clearly illustrating how hard times have hit.
