Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

As of December 31, 2023, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to errors in the calculation of the fair value of its goodwill and intangible assets, which was subsequently modified, resulting in no change in management’s determination of the fair value of its goodwill and intangible assets but, based on the COSO criteria, has been deemed to be a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The control over the determination of the fair value of the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets is an annual control that operates prior to filing. The control is dependent on a key spreadsheet that relies on inputs and assumptions and contains formulas and calculations. The precision and timeliness of the review did not prevent or detect potential material errors in valuation of goodwill or indefinite lived intangibles and the related disclosures. The Company implemented remediation measures in 2023 but they were not sufficient to deem the prior material weakness remediated. In 2024, management will continue to enhance the precision of this control including involving third party valuation specialists in order to remediate the material weakness. The material weakness will be fully remediated when, in the opinion of the company’s management, the revised control procedures are appropriately operated for a sufficient period of time to provide reasonable assurance as to their effectiveness.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Village Farms International, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Village Farms International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (together, the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), of changes in shareholders’ equity and mezzanine equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

Impairment assessment of goodwill for the Cannabis – U.S. reporting unit

As described in Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s goodwill balance for the Cannabis – U.S. reporting unit was $10.0 million as of December 31, 2023. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of December 31 each year and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting unit was determined

8


 

based on a discounted cash flow projection (the model). Management’s discounted cash flow projection for the reporting unit included significant assumptions relating to future cash flows, terminal growth rate and post-tax discount rate. Management concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Cannabis – U.S. reporting unit was lower than its carrying amount, resulting in an impairment charge to goodwill of $11.3 million.

 

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impairment assessment of goodwill for the Cannabis – U.S. reporting unit is a critical audit matter are (i) a high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity in performing procedures relating to the fair value of the reporting unit due to the judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate; (ii) the significant audit effort in evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the future cash flows, terminal growth rate and post-tax discount rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

 

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included, among others, (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value of the reporting unit; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the approach; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the model; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management, including the future cash flows, terminal growth rate and post-tax discount rate. Evaluating management’s significant assumption related to the future cash flows involved evaluating whether the significant assumption used by management was reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the reporting unit; (ii) consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the significant assumption was consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit, as applicable. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the appropriateness of the model and the reasonableness of the significant assumptions related to the terminal growth rate and post-tax discount rate.

 

Impairment assessment of goodwill for the Cannabis Canada reporting unit

As described in Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s goodwill balance for the Cannabis – Canada reporting unit was $45.8 million as of December 31, 2023. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of December 31 each year and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on a discounted cash flow projection (the model). Management’s discounted cash flow projection for the reporting unit included significant assumptions relating to future cash flows, terminal growth rate, post-tax discount rate and net working capital. Management concluded that the fair value of the Cannabis – Canada reporting unit was higher than its carrying amount as of December 31, 2023 and therefore no impairment to goodwill was required.

 

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impairment assessment of goodwill for the Cannabis – Canada reporting unit is a critical audit matter are (i) a high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity in performing procedures relating to the fair value of the reporting unit due to the judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate; (ii) the significant audit effort in evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the future cash flows, terminal growth rate, post-tax discount rate and net working capital; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

 

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included, among others, (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value of the reporting unit; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the approach; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the model; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management, including the future cash flows, terminal growth rate, post-tax discount rate and net working capital.

Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the appropriateness of the model and the reasonableness of the significant assumptions related to the terminal growth rate and post-tax discount rate.

VILLAGE FARMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands of United States dollars, except share and per share amounts and unless otherwise noted)

1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Village Farms International, Inc. (“VFF” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a corporation existing under the Ontario Business Corporations Act. VFF’s principal operating subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 are Village Farms Canada Limited Partnership, Village Farms, L.P., Pure Sunfarms Corp. (“Pure Sunfarms”), and Balanced Health Botanicals, LLC (“Balanced Health”). VFF also owns a 70% interest in Rose LifeScience Inc. (“Rose”) and an 85% interest in Leli Holland B.V. ("Leli").

The address of the registered office of VFF is 4700-80th Street, Delta, British Columbia, Canada, V4K 3N3.

The Company’s shares are listed on Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “VFF”. On April 21, 2023, the Company received notification from Nasdaq that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)) (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”) as the bid price for the Company’s common shares (the “Common Shares”) closed below US$1.00 from March 7, 2023 to April 19, 2023.

On October 18, 2023, the Company received notification from Nasdaq that Nasdaq has approved the Company’s request for a 180-calendar day extension (the “Extension”) to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. The Extension follows the expiration on October 17, 2023 of the initial 180-calendar day period to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. As a result of the Extension, the Company now has until April 15, 2024 (the “New Compliance Period”) to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.

The Extension has no immediate effect on the listing of the Common Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. During the New Compliance Period, the Common Shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If at any time before the end of the New Compliance Period, the bid price of the Common Shares closes at or above US$1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, it is expected that Nasdaq would notify the Company that it has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement by the end of the New Compliance Period, the Company may be subject to delisting of its Common Shares from the Nasdaq Capital Market, at which time the Company may request a review of the delisting determination by a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

We can provide no assurance that the Company would receive a favorable decision from a Nasdaq Hearing Panel after the end of the New Compliance Period or that the Common Shares will not be delisted from Nasdaq.

Village Farms owns and operates sophisticated, highly intensive agricultural greenhouse facilities in British Columbia and Texas, where it produces, markets and sells premium-quality tomatoes, bell peppers and cucumbers. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Pure Sunfarms, is a vertically integrated licensed producer and supplier of cannabis products sold to other licensed providers and provincial governments across Canada and internationally. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Balanced Health, develops and sells high-quality, cannabidiol (“CBD”) based products including ingestible, edible and topical applications. Through its 70% ownership of Rose, the Company has a substantial presence in the Province of Quebec as a cannabis supplier, producer and commercialization expert.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP), and include VFF and its subsidiaries and include the accounts of all majority owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control and, when applicable, entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Other parties’ interests in entities that VFF consolidates are reported as non-controlling interests within equity, except for mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests, which are classified as temporary mezzanine equity. Net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests is reported as a separate line item below net income or loss. Investments in entities for which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, but over which it has the ability to exert significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. For equity investees in which the Company has an undivided interest in the assets, liabilities and profits or losses of an unincorporated entity, but does not exercise control over the entity, the Company consolidates its proportional interest in the accounts of the entity. When appropriate, prior year amounts are reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. For the years ended December

15


 

31, 2022 and 2021, share-based compensation has been reclassified to selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) to conform with the current period presentation.

Translation of Foreign Currencies

The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, with resulting translation gains or losses included within other comprehensive income or loss. Revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average rates of exchange during the applicable period. Substantially all of the Company’s foreign operations use their local currency as their functional currency. For foreign operations for which the local currency is not the functional currency, the operation’s non-monetary assets are remeasured into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates. All other accounts are remeasured at current exchange rates. Gains or losses from remeasurement are included in foreign exchange loss, net. Currency gains or losses resulting from transactions executed in currencies other than the functional currency are included in foreign exchange gain (loss).

In these consolidated financial statements, “$” means U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

Management Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the potential future effects of macroeconomic trends and events, such as inflation and interest rate levels; supply chain disruptions; uncertainty from potential recessionary effects; climate-related matters; market, industry and regulatory factors, including permitting issues; global events, such as the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine; and public health matters. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the Company’s operating results and the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. While management believes that such estimates are reasonable when considered in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations taken as a whole, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s produce revenue transactions consist of single performance obligations to transfer promised goods at a fixed price. Quantities to be delivered to the customer are determined at a point near the date of delivery through purchase orders received from the customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it has fulfilled a performance obligation, which is typically when the customer receives the goods. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the goods. The amount of revenue recognized is reduced for estimated returns and other customer credits, such as discounts and rebates, based on the expected value to be realized. Payment terms are consistent with terms standard to the markets the Company serves. Revenue from the sale of cannabis inventories in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts, volume rebates and excise duty. The Company recognizes revenue when it has fulfilled the performance obligation to the customer through the delivery and transfer of control of the promised goods.

Direct-to-consumer product sales for loyalty members contain two distinct performance obligations for which the Company allocates the transaction price based on the relative stand-alone value of each performance obligation, such that both revenue related to the delivery of the underlying purchased goods and deferred revenue for loyalty points issued to the customer are recognized based on the allocated consideration of value, after giving consideration to loyalty point breakage. The loyalty liability represents a performance obligation to provide goods for free or at a discount to loyalty members in exchange for the redemptions of points earned from past activities.

Judgment is required in determining whether the Company is the principal or agent in certain transactions. We evaluate the presentation of revenue on a gross or net basis based on whether we control the service provided to the end-user and are the principal (i.e. “gross”), or we arrange for other parties to provide the service to the end-user and are an agent (i.e. “net”).

For each identified performance obligation in the contract with the customer, we assess whether our agency or the third-party supplier is the principal or agent. We control the specified services before transferring those services to the customer and act as the principal if we are primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service, have inventory risk, or discretion in establishing pricing. For performance obligations in which we act as principal, we record the gross amount billed to the customer within total revenue and the related incremental direct costs incurred as billable expenses.

If the third-party supplier, rather than the Company, is primarily responsible for the performance and deliverable to our customer, then we generally act as the agent and solely arrange for the third-party supplier to provide services to the customer. For performance

16


 

obligations for which we act as the agent, we record our revenue as the net amount of our gross billings less pass-through expenses charged to a customer.

Revenue received from shipping and handling fees is reflected in net sales. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales as incurred or at the time revenue is recognized for the related goods, whichever comes first.

Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

Non-controlling interest (“NCI”) in subsidiaries that are redeemable for cash or other assets outside of our control are classified as temporary mezzanine equity, outside of equity and liabilities. Initial measurement is at acquisition date fair value and subsequent measurement is at the greater of the carrying value or the redemption value. Changes in the redemption value are recognized immediately as they occur and the carrying amount of the redeemable NCI is adjusted to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method views the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the instrument. Increases or decreases in the estimated redemption amount are recorded with corresponding adjustments against equity and are reflected in the computation of earnings per share. However, the amount presented in temporary equity should be no less than the initial amount reported in temporary equity for the instrument.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Temporary differences arising between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its carrying amount on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are used to calculate future income tax assets and liabilities. This method also requires the recognition of deferred tax benefits, such as net operating loss carryforwards. Valuation allowances are recorded as appropriate to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount considered likely to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income (losses) in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment of the change. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if we believe it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on its technical merits. If the recognition threshold for the tax position is met, only the portion of the tax benefit that we believe is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized is recorded.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash deposits held with banks, and other highly liquid short-term interest-bearing securities with maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 includes a cash deposit required by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy which is managed by an insurer and held as a cell captive within a Bahamas-based financial institution.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, represent their estimated net realizable value, which approximates fair value. Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded based on historical collection experience and the age of the receivables. Receivables are written off when they are deemed uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventory includes capitalized production costs, including labor, materials, post-harvest costs and depreciation. Inventoriable costs are expensed to cost of goods sold on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the same period as finished products are sold. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realizable value and all losses of inventories are recognized as an expense in the period when the write-down or loss occurs.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company’s long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets. Purchased property and equipment is recorded at cost, or, if acquired in a business combination, at the acquisition date fair value. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for betterments and major improvements that extend the life of the related assets are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the assets. The carrying amounts of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated in the year of disposal. Gains or losses, net, from the sale of property and equipment are included within other income (expense). Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is determined on the straight-line method over the following useful lives of the assets:

Leasehold and land improvements

 

5-20 years

Buildings

3-30 years

 

The Company’s intangible assets are purchased and acquired through business combinations and have both finite and infinite useful lives. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives, which are generally based on contractual or legal rights, using the straight-line method. Amortization of finite-lived intangible assets is determined on the straight-line method over the following useful lives of the assets:

Licenses

 

5-22 years

Brand and trademarks

Computer software

 

3-5 years

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets are grouped with other assets to the lowest level to which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. Management assesses the recoverability of the carrying cost of the assets based on a review of projected undiscounted cash flows. If an asset is held for sale, management reviews its estimated fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is determined using pertinent market information, including appraisals or broker’s estimates, and/or projected discounted cash flows. In the event an impairment loss is identified, it is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the long-lived asset.

During the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 there were no material impairments of long-lived assets.

Business Combinations

The determination of the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination requires estimates and judgments of future cash flow expectations for the acquired business and the related identifiable tangible and intangible assets. Fair values of net assets acquired are calculated using expected cash flows and industry-standard valuation techniques. For current assets and current liabilities, book value is generally assumed to equal fair value. Goodwill is the amount by which consideration paid exceeds the fair value of acquired net assets. A bargain purchase gain results when the fair value of an acquired business’ net assets exceeds its purchase price. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and are included within general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Due to the time required to gather and analyze the necessary data for each acquisition, U.S. GAAP provides a “measurement period” of up to one year in which to finalize these fair value determinations. During the measurement period, preliminary fair value estimates may be revised if new information is obtained about the facts and circumstances existing as of the date of acquisition, or based on the final net assets and working capital of the acquired business, as prescribed in the applicable purchase agreement. Such adjustments may result in the recognition of, or an adjustment to the fair values of, acquisition-related assets and liabilities and/or consideration paid, and are referred to as “measurement period” adjustments. Measurement period adjustments are recorded to goodwill. Other revisions to fair value estimates that relate to facts and circumstances that occurred subsequent to the date of acquisition are reflected as income or expense, as appropriate.

For business combinations achieved in stages, the Company’s previously held interest in the acquiree is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value, with the resulting gain or loss recorded in the Statements of (Loss) Income. For a pre-existing relationship between the Company and the acquiree, that is not extinguished on the business combination, such a relationship is considered effectively settled as part of the business combination even if it is not legally cancelled. At the acquisition date, it becomes an intercompany relationship and is eliminated upon consolidation.

Leases

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that provide financing for machinery and equipment and for other of its facility, vehicle and equipment needs, including related party leases. The Company reviews all agreements to determine if a leasing arrangement exists. When a leasing arrangement is identified, a determination is made at inception as to whether the lease is an operating or a finance lease. A lease exists when a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. In determining whether a lease exists, the Company considers whether a contract provides both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of an asset and the right to direct the use of the asset. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the minimum future lease

18


 

payments over the expected term of the lease. The Company’s lease assets are primarily concentrated in vehicles, machinery and equipment.

Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are classified as short-term leases and are not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets unless the lease contains a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised, or unless it is reasonably certain that the equipment will be leased for greater than twelve months. The volume of lease activity for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less varies depending upon the number of ongoing projects at a given time, as well as the location and type of equipment required in connection with those projects. Lease payments for short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and primarily relate to equipment used on construction projects, for which the rentals are based on daily, weekly or monthly rental rates, and typically contain termination for convenience provisions. Lease determinations are reassessed in the event of a change in lease terms. The Company has a limited number of sublease, equipment and other leasing arrangements, which are not considered material to the consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of up to 6 years. Lease agreements may contain renewal clauses, which, if elected, generally extend the term of the lease for one to five years for both equipment and facility leases. Certain lease agreements may also contain options to purchase the leased property and/or options to terminate the lease. In addition, lease agreements may include periodic adjustments to payment amounts for inflation or other variables, or may require payments for taxes, insurance, maintenance or other expenses, which are generally referred to as non-lease components. The Company accounts for non-lease components together with the related lease components for all classes of leased assets. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain significant residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Lease term, discount rate, variable lease costs and future minimum lease payment determinations require the use of judgment, and are based on the facts and circumstances of each lease. Economic incentives, intent, past history and business need are among the factors considered to determine if renewal and/or purchase options are reasonably certain to be exercised. The majority of the Company’s lease agreements do not explicitly state the discount rate implicit in the lease, therefore, the Company generally uses an incremental borrowing rate to determine the value of its lease obligations. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest that would be paid to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term. The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate using a portfolio approach based on information available as of the lease commencement date, including applicable lease terms and the current economic environment.

Finance Leases

Finance lease assets are recorded within property and equipment, with a corresponding amount recorded within the Company’s debt obligations. Finance lease expense is composed of depreciation expense on the leased asset and interest on the lease liability. Additions to finance leases are included within the supplemental disclosures of non-cash information in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Operating Leases

Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets, with the related lease expense recognized over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis. Operating lease expense is recorded as rent expense, primarily within costs of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization. Fixed costs for operating leases are composed of initial base rent amounts plus any fixed annual increases. Variable costs for operating leases consist primarily of common area maintenance expenses and taxes for facility leases. Certain of the Company’s operating leases contain purchase options, for which the purchase option price is generally considered to be at fair market value. From time to time, the Company may terminate a lease before the end of the lease term. Payments related to such early lease terminations are generally recorded within general and administration expenses.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

The Company has goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets that have been recorded in connection with its acquisitions of businesses. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are allocated to reporting units and tested for impairment annually as of December 31 each year and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The Company generally elects to utilize the optional qualitative assessment for goodwill to determine whether it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit is higher than its fair value. If it is determined that the fair value is more likely than not to be lower than the carrying value, a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed by determining the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using either the income approach utilizing estimates of discounted future cash flows or the market approach utilizing recent transaction activity for comparable properties. These approaches are considered level 3 fair value measurements. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded impairment charges against goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. For additional information refer to Note 6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets.

Segment Reporting

Our operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The Company has identified four operating segments – Produce, Cannabis-Canada, Cannabis-U.S. and Energy.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We utilize a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

Level 1: Observable inputs based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company grants stock options and performance-based restricted stock (“RS”) to certain employees and directors.

Compensation costs for awards of stock-based compensation settled in shares are determined based on the fair value of the share-based instrument at the time of grant and are recognized as expense over the vesting period of the share-based instrument. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

Stock options generally vest over three years (33% per year following the grant date) and expire after ten years. Each tranche in an award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period. The fair value of each tranche is measured at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized over the tranche’s vesting period by increasing additional paid-in capital based on the number of awards expected to vest. The number of awards expected to vest is reviewed at least annually, with any impact recognized immediately.

RS grants will be settled using the Company’s own equity and issued from treasury if the performance standard is met. The equity-settled share-based compensation is measured at the fair value of the Company’s Common Shares as at the grant date in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Stock Compensation Plan. The fair value determined at the grant date is charged to income when performance-based vesting conditions are met, based on the number of RS that will eventually be converted to Common Shares, with a corresponding increase in equity.

Advertising

Advertising costs are presented within selling, general and administrative costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company supports its products with advertising to build brand awareness of the Company’s various products in addition to other marketing programs executed by the Company’s marketing teams. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $4,942 and $6,122, respectively.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income for the year ended December 31, 2023 includes a $5,585 favorable settlement relating to the partial recovery of operational losses from the Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus infestation.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income or loss is a measure of net income and other changes in equity that results from transactions other than those with shareholders. Comprehensive income or loss and related accumulated comprehensive income or loss balances consist of net income, foreign currency translation adjustments, primarily from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar and net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures

20


 

about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, it requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in this ASU retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We expect this ASU to only impact our disclosures with no impacts to our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU No. 2023-09 requires a public business entity (PBE) to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. In addition, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign and by jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. For PBEs, the new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. An entity may apply the amendments in this ASU prospectively by providing the revised disclosures for the period ending December 31, 2025 and continuing to provide the pre-ASU disclosures for the prior periods, or may apply the amendments retrospectively by providing the revised disclosures for all period presented. We expect this ASU to only impact our disclosures with no impacts to our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

4. ACQUISITIONS

Rose Acquisition - Put/Call Option

On November 15, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Rose and other parties, including the shareholders of Rose (collectively, the “Rose Sellers”), for the acquisition of a 70% interest in Rose pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

Two of the co-founders of Rose (the “Management Shareholders”), who were among the Rose Sellers of Rose in the Acquisition, have remained in their current roles with Rose post-Acquisition and have retained a non-voting 30% interest in Rose (the “Retained Interest”). In conjunction with the Acquisition, Village Farms and the Management Shareholders entered into a unanimous shareholders agreement (the “USA”) providing Village Farms with a call option to acquire the Retained Interest between December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 or upon the occurrence of certain liquidity events with respect to Village Farms (the “Call Option”). As part of the Call Option, Village Farms can also acquire 34% of the Retained Interest between December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024. A put right has also been granted to the Management Shareholders to require Village Farms to complete the acquisition of the Retained Interest upon their death or disability or the occurrence of certain liquidity events with respect to Village Farms (the “Put Option”, and together with the Call Option, the “Put/Call Option”). The price for the Put/Call Option was set at a multiple solely based on Rose’s adjusted EBITDA performance of the applicable prior calendar year. If exercised upon a liquidity event, the Option Price is subject to a minimum amount which varies depending on the year on which it is exercised.

The consideration for the acquisition of the Retained Interest may, at Village Farms’ sole discretion, be payable solely in cash or in a pre-determined combination of cash and Village Farms shares based on a formula similar to that used for the issuance of the Village Farms shares comprising part of the Purchase Price.

Leli Holland B.V. ("Leli")

In September 2021, the Company entered into an option agreement whereby the Company received the irrevocable right to acquire an 80% ownership interest (the “Option Agreement”) in Netherlands-based Leli Holland B.V. (“Leli”) upon payment of EUR50,000 (the “Option”). The Option Agreement allowed for the Company to acquire 80% of Leli’s shares for EUR3,950,000, of which EUR950,000 was due and payable to Leli’s shareholders upon the exercise of the Option and the remainder due in three equal installments subject to the achievement of certain project development milestones. The option was exercisable at the sole discretion of the Company.

On July 7, 2022, Leli received a license to cultivate cannabis legally in the Netherlands under the Dutch Closed Supply Chain Experiment program ("the Program"). On July 19, 2022, the Company exercised the Option to purchase 80% of Leli, plus an additional 5% interest, for total cash consideration of $4,693.

The acquisition has been accounted for as an asset acquisition and the full consideration paid has been allocated to the license and accounted for as an intangible asset that will be amortized over a period of 5 years which is consistent with the term of the program. There were no other assets or liabilities acquired in the acquisition.

6. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES ASSETS

At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that would indicate an impairment. The Company considers external and internal factors, including overall financial performance and relevant entity-specific factors, as part of this assessment. Throughout 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized macroeconomic challenges, decreases in market capitalization, decreases in transaction multiples, and continued ambiguity in federal regulations with respect to the U.S. CBD market.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company considered qualitative factors in assessing for impairment indicators for the Company’s U.S. and Canadian Cannabis segments. As part of this assessment, the Company considered both external and internal factors, including overall financial performance and outlook.

Year Ended December 31, 2023

As of December 31, 2023, when the Company considered qualitative factors in assessing impairment indicators it concluded that the Company's U.S. - Cannabis segment more likely than not was impaired. The Company tested that segment’s assets, including goodwill and intangible assets for impairment.

Cannabis - U.S. - Goodwill

The fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on a discounted cash flow projection from budgets approved by senior management for 2024 to 2029 with an average revenue growth rate of 8% over 6 years, followed by terminal growth rate of 4.1%. Management concluded that as of December 31, 2023, the fair value was lower than its carrying amount and as a result, an impairment charge to goodwill of $11,300 was allocated to the reporting unit.

The significant assumptions applied to the determination of the fair value are described below:

Post-tax discount rate: A market participant post-tax discount rate applied to the after-tax forecast cash flows was 11%. An increase of 1% to the discount rate, would increase the impairment by approximately $1,700.
Terminal growth rate: A decrease of 0.5% in the terminal growth rate would increase the impairment by approximately $700.
Future cash flows: A decrease in future cash flows by 10% would increase the impairment by approximately $1,300.

Cannabis – U.S. – Brand

The fair value of the brand was determined based on a discounted cash flow projection. Specifically, the Company utilized a relief from royalty valuation technique to arrive at the fair value of the brand. An average revenue growth rate of 8% was used over 6 years, followed by terminal growth rate of 4.1%. Management concluded that as of December 31, 2023, the fair value value was lower than its carrying amount and as a result, an impairment charge to the brand intangible of $2,720 was allocated to the reporting unit.

The significant assumptions applied to the determination of the fair value are described below:

Post-tax discount rate: A market participant post-tax discount rate applied to the after-tax forecast cash flows was 11%. An increase of 1% to the discount rate, would increase the impairment by approximately $200.
Royalty rate: An incremental royalty rate of 3.5% of revenues was applied to brand-specific revenues. A decrease to the incremental royalty rate by 0.5% would increase the impairment to brand by $1,600.
Future revenues: A decrease in future revenues by 10% would increase the impairment by approximately $200.

Cannabis – Canada – Goodwill

The fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on a discounted cash flow projection from budgets approved for 2024, which was extended to 2027 with a compound annual revenue growth rate of 16% from 2024 to 2027, followed by terminal growth rate of 4%. Management concluded that the fair value was higher than its carrying amount by approximately $2,565 as of December 31, 2023 and therefore no impairment to goodwill was required.

The significant assumptions applied to the determination of the fair value are described below:

Post-tax discount rate: An increase of approximately 0.07% in the discount rate would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 0.5% increase would result in an additional impairment of approximately $18,858.
Terminal growth rate: A decrease in approximately 0.1% in the terminal growth rate would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 0.5% decrease would result in an additional impairment of approximately $17,350.
Future cash flows: A decrease in the future cash flows before net working capital by approximately 1.0% would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 5% decrease would result in an additional impairment of approximately $16,595.
Net working capital: Net working capital ranges between 40% and 45% of revenue. An increase of 6% in net working capital investment would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 5% increase would result in an additional impairment of approximately $3,017.

Cannabis – Canada – Brand

The fair value of the brand was determined based on a discounted cash flow projection, covering a four-year period.

Management concluded that the fair value was higher than its carrying value of $3,545 by approximately $453 as of December 31, 2023 and therefore, no impairment to brand was allocated to the reporting unit.

The significant assumptions applied to the determination of the fair value are described below:

Post-tax discount rate: An increase in the discount rate by 1% would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 1% increase in the discount rate would result in an impairment of approximately $302.
Royalty rate: An incremental royalty rate of 3.5% of revenues was applied to brand-specific revenues. A decrease to the incremental royalty rate by 0.12% would result in the recoverable amount being equal to the carrying value.
Future revenues: A decrease in future revenues by 12% would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 10% decrease in the future revenues would result in an impairment of approximately $317.

Year Ended December 31, 2022

As of June 30, 2022, when the Company considered these qualitative factors in assessing impairment indicators it concluded that the Company's U.S. - Cannabis segment more likely than not was impaired. The Company tested that segment’s assets, including goodwill and intangible assets for impairment.

Cannabis – U.S. – Goodwill

The fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on a transaction multiple of somewhat similar CBD-based companies. Management concluded that as of June 30, 2022, the fair value was lower than its carrying amount and as a result, an impairment charge to goodwill of $25,169 was allocated to the reporting unit.

The significant assumptions applied to the determination of the fair value are described below:

Transaction multiples: A market-based revenue multiple of 1.6x was utilized to determine the fair value. A decrease in the multiple of .25x, would increase the impairment to goodwill by $7,000.

Cannabis – U.S. - Brand

The fair value of the brand was determined based on a discounted cash flow projection. Specifically, the Company utilized a relief from royalty valuation technique to arrive at the fair value of the brand.

The significant assumptions applied to the determination of the fair value are described below:

Post-tax discount rate: An increase in the discount rate by 2% would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 1% increase in the discount rate would result in an impairment of approximately $308.
Royalty rate: An incremental royalty rate of 3.5% of revenues was applied to brand-specific revenues. A decrease to the incremental royalty rate by 0.5% would result in an impairment of approximately $3,469.
Future revenues: A decrease in future revenues by 20% would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value. Any further decreases to future revenues would result in the value of the brand being written down to $nil.

Cannabis – Canada – Definite-Lived Intangible

At December 31, 2022, the Company also evaluated the recoverability of its definite-lived intangible assets which includes customer relationship and license intangibles. The Company concluded the undiscounted cash flows of the asset group exceeded its carrying value of $24,969 at December 31, 2022 and therefore no impairment to the definite-lived intangibles was required.

Cannabis – U.S. - Goodwill

The fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on a discounted cash flow projection from budgets approved by senior management covering a three-year period. Management concluded that as of December 31, 2022, the fair value was lower than its carrying amount and as a result, an impairment charge to goodwill of $13,500 was allocated to the reporting unit.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value in a hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, minority investments, line of credit, trade payables, accrued liabilities, lease liabilities, note payables and debt. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of line of credit, lease liabilities, notes payable, and debt approximate their fair values due to insignificant changes in credit risk.

 

There were no financial instruments categorized as Level 3 at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, other than the minority investments discussed below. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between levels during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

For its investments, the Company has elected the practicability exception to fair value measurement, under which the investment is measured at cost, less impairment, plus or minus any observable price changes of an identical or similar investment.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries may become defendants in certain employment claims and other litigation. The Company records a liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. The Company is not involved in any defendant legal proceedings other than routine litigation arising in the normal course of business, none of which the Company believes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

In assessing the ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon available positive and negative evidence and future taxable income, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 of $39,530 and $30,419, respectively.

Included in the schedule of deferred tax assets and liabilities above are US federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $111,831 and $106,428 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which will begin to expire in 2031. At the state level, the Company has a combined state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $43,554 and $42,768 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which started to expire in 2023. The Canadian Federal Non-Capital Loss carry forwards are $56,009 and $43,829 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Canadian Provincial Non-Capital Loss carry forwards are $13,158 and $15,974, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the balance of uncertain tax benefits is zero. The Company does not anticipate that the amount of the uncertain tax benefit will significantly increase within the next 12 months. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to uncertain tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there are no recognized liabilities for interest or penalties.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various states, as well as Canada and its provinces. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s tax years for 2020, 2021 and 2022 are subject to examination by the tax authorities. With few exceptions, as of December 31, 2023, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2020 due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.

16. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

On January 30, 2023, the Company closed a public offering (the "Offering") of 18,350,000 Common Shares at a price of US$1.35 per share together with accompanying warrants to purchase up to 18,350,000 Common Shares, which have an exercise price of US$ 1.65 per share (the "Warrants"). The gross proceeds from the Offering were approximately US$25 million before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The proceeds from the Offering are being used for general working capital. The accompanying Warrants have an exercise price of US$1.65 and became exercisable beginning six months from issuance and will expire five years from the date of initial exercisability.

On August 9, 2022, Village Farms entered into a Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement ("Sales Agreement") pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell Common Shares having an aggregate offering price up to $50 million from time to time to or through Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners. Under the Sales Agreement, the Company may offer and sell Common Shares through Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners by any method deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly

on The Nasdaq Capital Market. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had issued and sold 3,175,000 Common Shares under the Sales Agreement, resulting in net proceeds of $6,692 after deducting commissions and offering expenses.

The Company’s Share-Based Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) dated January 1, 2010, was most recently approved by Shareholders on June 10, 2021. The Plan provides that the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise or redemption of awards granted under the Plan is a rolling maximum of ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Common Shares at any point in time. Approximately 4,078 shares remain available for issuance as of December 31, 2023.

Stock options have been granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grants and have a ten-year contractual term. The stock options vest ratably over a 3- year period. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis.

The fair market value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model and the Company uses the following methods to determine its underlying assumptions: expected volatilities are based on the historical volatilities of the weekly closing price of the Company’s common stock; the expected term of options granted is based historical exercises and forfeitures; the risk-free interest rate is based on Canadian Treasury bonds issued with similar life terms to the expected life of the grant; and the expected dividend yield is based on the current annual dividend amount divided by the stock price on the date of grant. Forfeitures are recorded when incurred.

The following key assumptions were used in the valuation model to value stock option grants for each respective period:
