Management to host a webcast today at 4:30 P.M. ET

 

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, USA. & TORONTO, CAN.– August 15, 2022 -- Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) (“Flora” or the “Company”), a manufacturer and distributor of global cannabis products and brands, reported today its financial and operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2022. All financial information is provided in U.S. dollars unless indicated otherwise.

 

“In the first half of 2022, Flora delivered on its promise to double revenue compared to the second half of 2021, and we expect to maintain that trajectory to deliver our full year guidance as a result of continued growth in our House of Brands, the launch of several new brands in the United States, and the commencement of sales in our Commercial Wholesale and Life Sciences business,” said Luis Merchan, Chairman and CEO of Flora. “We started 2022 with the integration of both Vessel and JustCBD, and despite macro headwinds in the global markets as well as global cannabis regulations, we are extremely pleased with our growth year-to-date. We are also seeing positive movement in our Life Sciences division with progress on the approval of our clinical trials in the United Kingdom and the acquisition of Masaya, a science-backed, high-potency CBD brand.”

 

Merchan added: “We continue to prudently manage our overhead and working capital as we expect to improve profitability going forward. With all three of our core pillars generating revenue in the second half of 2022, continued gross margin expansion and a focus on streamlining operating expenses – we believe we have a path to profitability that few global cannabis companies can achieve in this difficult environment. The execution of our key initiatives is a testament to our team’s ability to deliver on plan. We will continue to execute as we focus on profitability and long term value creation.”

 

H1 2022 Financial Highlights:

 

 

·

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was $14.9 million, up more than 7x year-over-year and 2x sequentially, with the growth driven by Flora’s House of Brands division, which includes the acquisitions of JustCBD and Vessel.

 

 

 

 

·

Gross profit for the period increased to approximately $6.5 million, up more than 5x year-over-year and 4x sequentially.

 

 

 

 

·

Net loss was approximately $32.7 million compared to a net loss of $5.1 million in H1 2021 and a net loss of $16.2 million in H2 2021. The increase in net loss included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $16.0 million related to the Vessel acquisition value, driven by a decline in market conditions (Vessel’s peer group public share prices) and the Company’s stock price.

 

 

 

 

·

Adjusted EBITDA was $(8.2) million compared to $(4.9) million in H1 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved significantly from -233% in H1 2021 to -55% in H1 2022. For a reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures, please see Table 4 under “Reconciliation of IFRS to non-IFRS financial results” included at the end of this release.

 

 

 

 

·

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $10.3 million in cash compared to $37.6 million on December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to cash paid for the JustCBD acquisition in February 2022, as well as higher operating expenses related to investments in headcount, sales and marketing to deliver on the Company’s growth objectives.

 

 

 

 

 

Reaffirms 2022 Outlook

The Company is reaffirming its 2022 revenue guidance to range between $35.0 million - $45.0 million, projecting growth of approximately 300% - 400% over 2021.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release contains ‘‘forward-looking statements,’’ as defined by federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements reflect Flora’s current expectations and projections about future events at the time, and thus involve uncertainty and risk. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “may,” “plan,” “estimate,” “intend,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” and the negatives of these words and other similar expressions generally identify forward looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Flora’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on May 9, 2022, as such factors may be updated from time to time in Flora’s periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this release and in Flora’s filings with the SEC. While forward-looking statements reflect Flora’s good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. Flora disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes after the date of this press release, except as required by applicable law. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to Flora (or to third parties making the forward-looking statements).

 

About non-IFRS financial measures

 

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), we use the following non-IFRS financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin.

 

·

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure that does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA as total net loss, plus (minus) income taxes (recovery), plus (minus) interest expense (income), plus depreciation and amortization, plus (minus) non-operating expense (income), plus share based compensation, plus impairment charges, plus (minus) fair value adjustments on investments, plus charges related to the flow-through of inventory step-up on business combinations, plus other acquisition and transaction costs, plus (minus) non-cash fair value adjustments on the sale of inventory and biological assets.

 

 

·

Adjusted EBITDA margin % is a non-IFRS financial measure that does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA margin % as adjusted EBITDA, as described above, divided by revenue for the period.

(United States dollars, except shares and per share amounts)

 

Basis of measurement

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value and biological assets as explained in the accounting policies included in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“$”) unless otherwise noted.

 

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Judgments and Estimation Uncertainties

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using the same accounting policies, judgments, estimates and assumptions as those used in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, except as noted below for the following new significant transactions that occurred in 2022.

 

Contingent Purchase Consideration

Contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition date fair value and is included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination, subject to the applicable terms and conditions. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates with the corresponding gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. Management exercises judgment to determine the classification of contingent consideration as equity or liability based on the terms of the agreement and potential for the consideration to result in a cash outflow by the Company. Fair value estimates are determined using appropriate valuation techniques based on the nature of the terms in the purchase agreement.

 

3. TRADE AND AMOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

The Company’s trade and amounts receivable are recorded at amortized cost. The trade and other receivables balance as at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consists of trade accounts receivable, amounts recoverable from the Government of Canada for Harmonized Sales Taxes (“HST”) and other receivables.

Changes in the trade accounts receivable allowance in the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily relate to establishing an allowance for expected credit losses from the acquisition of JustCBD balances. There were no write-offs of trade receivables during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company has no amounts written-off that are still subject to collection enforcement activity as at June 30, 2022. There was an additional $0.3 million of expected credit losses recorded in other receivables as at June 30, 2022. The Company’s aging of trade accounts receivable is as follows:

4. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

 

The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants throughout the growth cycle including propagation, vegetative and flowering stages. Cannabis plants cease being biological assets upon harvest when the fair value at time of harvest is transferred to harvested cannabis inventory. The Company has no biological assets with title restricted or pledged as collateral, and no significant commitments for development or acquisition of biological assets as at June 30, 2022.

 

The changes in the carrying value of biological assets are as follows:

Transferred to harvested cannabis inventory upon harvest

 

 

(69 )

Ending balance at June 30, 2022

The valuation of biological assets is based on an income approach (Level 3) in which the fair value at the point of harvesting is estimated based on selling prices less the costs to sell. For in-process biological assets (growing plants), the fair value at the point of harvest is adjusted based on the stage of growth at period-end. Harvested cannabis is transferred from biological assets at their fair value at harvest to harvested cannabis within inventory.

 

Significant inputs and assumptions used in determining the fair value of cannabis plants are as follows as at June 30, 2022:

 

Average selling price per gram of $0.10 – Represents estimated selling price of dried cannabis end products net of excise taxes, where applicable, for the period for all strains of cannabis, which is expected to approximate future selling prices. Increasing this amount results in an increase in fair value.

 

Weighted average yield of 21 gram per plant – Represents the weighted average number of grams of dried cannabis inventory expected to be harvested from each cannabis plant. Increasing this amount results in an increase in fair value.

 

Post-harvest cost per gram to complete production of $0.04 – Based on estimated future production costs incurred divided by estimated grams produced in the period. Increasing this amount results in a decrease in fair value.

 

Changes in the assumptions above of 10% would not have a significant impact on the fair value of biological assets as at June 30, 2022.

 

As at June 30, 2022, the weighted average fair value less cost to complete and cost to sell a gram of dried cannabis was $0.06 per gram. The Company’s biological assets produced 746 kilograms of dried cannabis in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the Company expects the biological assets will yield 190 kilograms of cannabis when harvested. The weighted average stage of growth for the biological assets was 41%.

7. LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS

 

As at June 30, 2022, the Company’s long-term investments consist of common shares and warrants to purchase additional common shares in an early stage European cannabis company. In 2021, the Company purchased common shares from the investee for Euro 2.0 million ($2.4 million), purchased its first tranche of warrants from existing investors in exchange for 225,000 common shares of the Company, and obtained a second tranche of warrants from the investee as an inducement to exercise some of the first tranche of warrants. As at June 30, 2022, the Company owns approximately 9.6% of the investee, or approximately 8.6% on a diluted basis including exercisable warrants of the Company and other investors.

 

The warrants allow the holder to purchase one common share of the investee for CAD 0.30 ($0.23) for the first tranche, and CAD 1.00 ($0.78) for the second tranche. The warrants were immediately exercisable and expire February 1, 2023.

 

The Company’s cost of the investments was recorded based on the fair value of the consideration exchanged as at the respective transaction dates. The investee is not a publicly listed entity and has no active quoted prices for its common shares or warrants. Subsequent remeasurements are recorded as FVPL as indicated on the unrealized investments loss caption on the statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The Company estimated the fair value of the investments as at June 30, 2022 using Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy with the fair value of the investee common shares at $0.32, the first tranche warrants at $0.13, and the second tranche warrants at $0.02.

 

The investee common shares were valued considering price to book value and price to tangible book value of the investee (3.6 and 4.8, respectively) as well as comparable guideline publicly traded companies at the time of initial investment. These initial investment multiples were compared to the guideline public company multiples observed as at June 30, 2022 (2.2 price to book value and 3.0 price to tangible value), with these updated valuation multiples applied to the investee’s estimated book value. The Company also considered the status of the investee’s milestones between the purchase date and year-end for indicators of change in value.

 

The fair value of the warrants was developed using a Black-Scholes model for each tranche with the following assumptions:

 

 

 

Warrants CAD 0.30 exercise price

 

 

Warrants CAD 1.00 exercise price

The loss on changes in fair value appear in the unrealized loss on fair value of investments caption in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

As a sensitivity assessment to the fair value calculations, a 10% change in the valuation multiples applied to the investee common shares results in a 10% change in the fair value as at June 30, 2022 of $111,000. Applying a 10% change in share price to the warrants results in an approximately $44,000 change in fair value, and a 10% change in volatility of approximately $14,000.

 

8. ASSET ACQUISITIONS AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

Just Brands LLC and High Roller Private Label LLC (collectively “JustCBD”) business combination

 

On February 24, 2022, Flora Growth U.S. Holdings Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding equity interests in each of (i) Just Brands LLC and (ii) High Roller Private Label LLC for total purchase consideration of $34.6 million. JustCBD is a manufacturer and distributor of consumable cannabinoid products, including gummies, tinctures, vape cartridges, and creams. JustCBD is based in Florida in the United States and was formed in 2017. The Company acquired JustCBD to expand its product offerings, accelerate its revenue growth, expand its customer and distribution footprints in the United States and for the acquisition of human capital through JustCBD’s management team.

 

The purchase consideration was comprised of $16.0 million of cash, 9.5 million common shares of the Company valued at $14.7 million, inclusive of a 15% fair value discount for the required six-month holding period of the shares, and $4.0 million of contingent purchase consideration. The contingent purchase consideration is based on a clause in the purchase agreement that provides that if at any time during the 24 months following the acquisition date, the five-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) per share of the Company’s common shares as quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market fails to equal or exceed $5.00, then the Company shall issue a number of additional common shares to the sellers equal to the difference between (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is $47.5 million and the denominator of which is the highest five day VWAP at any point during the 24 months following the closing and (y) the 9.5 million common shares delivered to the sellers at the closing. In no event shall the Company be required to issue more than 3.65 million common shares unless it shall have obtained the consent of the Company’s shareholders to do so. In the event the Company is required to deliver in excess of 3.65 million shares to the sellers (“Excess Shares”) and the Company shall not have obtained shareholder consent, the Company may deliver cash to the sellers in lieu of such Excess Shares determined by a formula set forth in the purchase agreement. The contingent purchase consideration is classified as a financial liability within other long-term liabilities on the statement of financial position as the Company may be required to settle any amounts due in cash instead of common shares if the Company’s common shareholders do not provide requisite shareholder approval to issue additional common shares.

 

The fair value of the contingent purchase consideration was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation incorporating Brownian motion with 100,000 trials through a binomial lattice model. The significant inputs to the valuation include the two year time period, the Company’s closing share price at February 24, 2022 ($1.82), estimated Company common share volatility (100%), and risk free rate of 1.5% to discount the ending result to present value.

The fair value of the trade receivables reflects a $291,000 discount to the gross contractual amounts as allowance for potentially uncollectible amounts. Since the acquisition date through June 30, 2022, JustCBD revenue was $10.0 million with net loss and comprehensive loss of $0.4 million.

 

The intangible assets of $4.8 million are comprised of the following categories and estimated useful lives: tradenames of $3.4 million for eight to nine years, customer relationships of $1.2 million for five to seven years, and know-how of $0.2 million for three years. The Company expects the goodwill and intangible asset values to be deductible for Unites States income tax purposes.

 

If JustCBD was acquired at January 1, 2022, the combined revenue and net loss of JustCBD and the Company would have increased approximately $5.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

 

Acquisition of Minority interests

On January 18, 2022, the Company acquired the remaining 10% of the outstanding equity interests in Flora Beauty LLC from its minority shareholder in exchange for 100,000 common shares of the Company and a stock option exercisable for up to 50,000 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $1.70 per share that expire five years from the date of the grant.

 

On January 31, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Breeze by acquiring the remaining 10% of the equity interests in Breeze from its minority shareholders in exchange for 30,282 common shares of the Company.

10. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment each reporting period or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. At June 30, 2022, the Company’s Vessel CGU had external indicators of impairment primarily due to a 2022 decline in comparable public company share prices which would negatively impact the implied valuation of Vessel. As such, the Company tested the Vessel CGU non-financial assets for impairment as at June 30, 2022. The Vessel CGU was acquired in November 2021 and is part of the Company’s consumer products reportable segment.

 

Vessel’s June 30, 2022 carrying value of $28.0 million is comprised primarily of goodwill and identified intangible assets of $28.0 million and other long-lived assets of $1.4 million. The carrying value is reduced by inseparable market participant liabilities associated with the November 2021 acquisition of Vessel which includes $1.4 million of deferred tax liability and $1.2 million of lease liability. The estimated recoverable amount of Vessel at June 30, 2022 was $11.9 million, resulting in impairment of $16.0 million as the carrying value of the CGU’s assets exceeds the recoverable amount. The impairment is recorded in goodwill impairment caption on the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

The recoverable amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal. The fair value was determined based on guideline public companies similar to Vessel considering financial metrics such as historical revenue growth, gross margin and EBITDA profitability and with operations focused on consumer brands and similar sales channels. An enterprise value to latest twelve months revenue multiple of 1.75 was selected based on consideration of the enterprise value to latest twelve months multiples of the guideline companies. The multiple was applied to Vessel’s revenue for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022. Estimated costs of disposal of 3% were subtracted to arrive at the recoverable amount. The impairment test valuation is considered a Level 3 method within the IFRS 13 fair value hierarchy.

 

After the impairment, Vessel’s carrying value is equal to its recoverable amount. Any change in the significant assumptions could result in additional impairment of its goodwill and long-lived assets as at June 30, 2022. As a sensitivity assessment to the recoverable amount calculations, reducing the selected revenue multiple by 0.5 from 1.75 above down to 1.25 (approximately 29% decrease) would result in additional goodwill impairment of approximately $3.0 million.

(United States dollars, except shares and per share amounts)

 

Most of the Company’s leases contain renewal options to continue the leases for another term equivalent to the original term, which are generally up to two years. The lease liabilities above include renewal terms that management has executed or is reasonably certain of renewing, which only included leases that would have expired in 2022. The Company’s land lease for 361 hectares of property in Santander, Colombia expires August 31, 2024 and is recorded as a right of use asset in property, plant and equipment. There is an option to extend the lease for an additional five years, unless either the Company or lessor provide notice to terminate the lease at the end of the original term with six months’ notice.

 

12. CAPITAL STOCK

On June 16, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved the repurchase of up to $5 million of its common shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, no shares were repurchased.

 

Any future repurchases will depend on factors such as market conditions, share price and other opportunities to invest capital for growth. From time to time when management does not possess material nonpublic information about the Company or its securities, the Company may enter a pre-defined plan with a broker to allow for the repurchase of shares at times when the Company ordinarily would not be active in the market due to internal trading blackout periods, insider trading rules or otherwise. Any such plans entered with our broker will be adopted in accordance with applicable securities laws such as the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

13. OPTIONS

 

In March of 2019, the Company adopted a stock option plan whereby it may grant options for the purchase of common shares to any director, consultant, employee or officer of the Company or its subsidiaries. The aggregate number of shares that may be issuable pursuant to options granted under the Company’s stock option plan will not exceed 10% of the common shares of the Company outstanding (the “Shares”) at the date of grant. The options are non-transferable and non-assignable and may be granted for a term not exceeding five years. The exercise price of the options will be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company at the time of grant, but if the Shares are traded on any stock exchange (the “Exchange”), the exercise price may not be less than the closing price of the Shares on the Exchange on the trading date immediately preceding the date of grant, subject to all applicable regulatory requirements. Stock option vesting terms are subject to the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Sales tax provision relates to estimated amounts owed to certain jurisdictions in the Unites States for sales from the Company’s JustCBD operations. The opening balance was acquired during the February 24, 2022 acquisition of JustCBD, with additional provision for estimated amounts due on sales subsequent to the acquisition. The ending balance is recorded within trade payables and accrued liabilities with current liabilities on the statement of financial position, and as a reduction of revenue on the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

The Company records liabilities for legal proceedings in those instances where it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss and where liability is probable. The Company is engaged from time-to-time in various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The outcome of all the proceedings and claims against the Company is subject to future resolution, including the uncertainties of litigation. Based on information currently known to the Company and after consultation with outside legal counsel, management believes that the probable ultimate resolution of any such proceedings and claims, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company, taken as a whole as at June 30, 2022.

 

On March 18, 2022, the Company received a letter from a law firm representing an undisclosed group of former pre-acquisition shareholders of VBI (the “VBI Shareholders”) seeking to engage in settlement discussions on the basis that the Company was purportedly misleading in its intentions to engage in a capital raising transaction shortly after the completion of the VBI acquisition. We promptly responded in writing and denied the VBI Shareholders presentation of the facts and denied all allegations against the Company. We believe that any potential claims as alleged in the letter are without merit and we intend to defend vigorously against them in connection with any future potential legal proceedings. The VBI Shareholders have not commenced litigation against the Company and it is unknown whether the VBI Shareholders will do so and what their claims may be. The Company believes that an unfavorable settlement in this matter is remote, and, as such, has not accrued a liability as of June 30, 2022.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021

(United States dollars, except shares and per share amounts)

 

On June 21, 2022, an action was brought against the Company in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice by Gerardo Andres Garcia Mendez claiming that the Company is obligated to issue 3.0 million (pre-one-for three reverse stock split) common shares to him for a purchase price of $0.05 per share. Mr. Mendez claims he is entitled to such shares as a result of alleged consulting services he performed in 2019. The Company disputes his claims and intends to vigorously defend against this action. The Company believes that an unfavorable settlement in this matter is remote, and, as such, has not accrued a liability as of June 30, 2022.

 

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of JustCBD, the former owners of JustCBD agreed to fully indemnify the Company against any losses which may arise out of certain pre-existing litigation against JustCBD (including all matters disclosed below) as well as litigation which may be brought in the future against JustCBD and pertaining to the period prior to the acquisition. Since these matters are fully indemnified, the Company has not accrued any liability with respect to these claims. As of the date hereof, the following actions are pending against JustCBD:

 

Erin Gilbert et al. vs. Just CBD LLC, et al., Case No. 062019CA020275AXXXCE. This matter involves allegations that JustCBD sold a defective Just CBD mango Vape Cartridge which is alleged to have caused Plaintiff, Erin Gilbert, to suffer personal injuries. The claims asserted against JustCBD include: (1) strict liability design defect; (2) negligent design; (3) strict liability manufacturing defect; (4) negligent manufacturing; (5) warning defects; and (6) loss of consortium. The same allegations were asserted against seven (7) other defendants, including two (2) manufacturers of the actual vape cartridge. To date, JustCBD has vigorously defended the case and the case is in the discovery phase. Currently, this matter is scheduled for trial to commence on September 19, 2022 but it is likely the trial will be continued pending further discovery.

 

William Braley vs. Just Brands USA, Inc., Just Brands FL, LLC, and SSGI Financial Services, Inc., Case No. 21-cv-06812, Northern District of Illinois. This matter involves allegations that the Defendants falsely and deceptively marketed cannabidiol infused gummies as not containing Tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”). Plaintiff asserts he has suffered damages because after ingesting the gummies he failed an employment related drug test. JustCBD disputes these claims. At this time, JustCBD has filed a motion to dismiss the RICO portion of the complaint and answered and asserted affirmative defenses to the Consumer Protection claims.

 

Management contracts

The Company is party to certain management contracts. As at June 30, 2022, these contracts require payments totaling approximately $2.3 million to be made upon the occurrence of a change in control to the officers of the Company. The Company is also committed to payments to certain individuals upon termination of approximately $1.9 million pursuant to the terms of these contracts. As a triggering event has not taken place, these amounts have not been recorded in these consolidated financial statements.

 

16. INCOME TAXES

 

Income tax expense is recognized at an amount determined by multiplying the income (loss) before income taxes for the interim period for each significant jurisdiction by management’s best estimate of the annual income tax rate expected for the full fiscal year for each significant jurisdiction.

 

There was no current or deferred income tax expense recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company’s effective income tax rate of nil% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is different than the statutory rate primarily due to the nonrecognition of deferred tax assets related to net operating losses.

 

17. LOSS PER SHARE

 

The following securities were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding because the effect would be anti-dilutive as the Company has a net loss for each period presented:

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGMENT

 

Environmental

The Company’s growth and development activities are subject to laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive. The Company believes its operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.

 

Fair value

The Company’s financial instruments measured at amortized cost as at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consist of cash, restricted cash, trade and amounts receivable, loans receivable, trade payables and accrued liabilities, lease liabilities, and debt and loans payable. The amounts reflected in the consolidated statements of financial position approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Financial instruments recorded at the reporting date at fair value are classified into one of three levels based upon the fair value hierarchy. Items are categorized based on inputs used to derive fair value based on:

 

Level 1 - quoted prices that are unadjusted in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset/liability either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 - inputs for the instruments are not based on any observable market data.

 

The Company’s long-term investments require significant unobservable inputs and as discussed at Note 7, are measured at FVPL and as a Level 3 fair value financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy as at June 30, 2022. As discussed in Note 8, the Company’s other long-term liabilities consist of the estimated fair value of contingent purchase consideration from the acquisition of JustCBD in February 2022. The amount is measured at FVPL as a Level 2 fair value financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy as at June 30, 2022. As valuations of the investments and other long-term liabilities for which market quotations are not readily available are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate within short periods of time and are based on estimates, determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have resulted if a ready market existed for the investments. Such changes may have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or operating results.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021

(United States dollars, except shares and per share amounts)

 

Risk management overview

The Company has exposure to credit, liquidity and market risks from its use of financial instruments. This note provides information about the Company’s exposure to each of these risks, the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s trade and other receivables, loans receivable and cash held with banks and other financial intermediaries.

 

The carrying amount of the cash, restricted cash, trade and amounts receivables and loan receivable represents the maximum credit exposure as presented in the statement of financial position.

 

The Company has assessed that there has been no significant increase in credit risk of the loans receivable from initial recognition based on the financial position of the borrowers, and the regulatory and economic environment of the borrowers. As a result, the loss allowance recognized during the period was limited to twelve months expected credit losses. Based on historical information, and adjusted for forward-looking expectations, the Company has assessed an insignificant loss allowance on the loans’ receivable and advances as at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

The Company provides credit to certain customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk. Credit risk for customers is assessed on a case-by-case basis and an allowance for specific expected credit losses is recorded where required, in addition to an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses for the portfolio of accounts receivable. See credit risk analysis for trade receivables at Note 3.

 

The Company held cash and restricted cash of $10.3 million and $37.6 million as at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, of which, $10.1 million and $37.4 million, respectively, was held with large financial institutions and national central banks. The remaining $0.2 million cash amounts for both periods are held with financial intermediaries in Colombia and the United States. The Company has assessed no significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition based on the availability of funds, and the regulatory and economic environment of the financial intermediary. As a result, the loss allowance recognized during the period was limited to twelve months of expected credit losses. Based on historical information, and adjusted for forward-looking expectations, the Company has assessed an insignificant loss allowance on these cash and restricted cash balances as at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market conditions, such as commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, and interest rates, will affect the Company’s net income or the value of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing the Company’s returns.

 

Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company does not currently use foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure to currency rate risk as management has determined that this risk is not significant. As such, the Company’s financial position and financial results may be adversely affected by the unfavorable fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars, Colombian pesos, British pounds, Euros and Swiss Francs are subject to foreign currency risk. The Company has estimated that as at June 30, 2022, the effect of a 10% increase or decrease in Canadian dollars, Colombian pesos, British pounds, Euros and Swiss Francs (“CHF”) against the Unites States dollar on financial assets and liabilities would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $0.3 million (December 31, 2021 – $0.5 million) to net loss and comprehensive loss.

 

The Company calculates this sensitivity analysis based on the net financial assets denominated in each currency using the June 30, 2022 exchange rate, then changing the rate by 10%. Management determined 10% is a ‘reasonably possible’ change in foreign currency rates by considering the approximate change in rates in the prior twelve months.

 

It is management’s opinion that the Company is not subject to significant commodity or interest rate risk.

 

Management considers concentration risk with counterparties considering the level of purchases and sales of its business segments (Note 21). Several of the Company’s business units purchase substantially all their inventory or materials from a single supplier.

 

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company’s financial liabilities consist of trade payables and accrued liabilities, loans payable and debt, and lease liabilities as presented on the statement of financial position. The Company had cash and restricted cash as presented on the statement of financial position. The Company has no available credit lines of facilities to draw borrowings from should additional liquidity be needed. The Company’s policy is to review liquidity resources and ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet financial obligations as they become due. Further, the Company’s management is responsible for ensuring funds exist and are readily accessible to support business opportunities as they arise.

 

Trade payables and accrued liabilities consist of invoices payable to trade suppliers for administration and professional expenditures. The Company processes invoices within a normal payment period. Trade payables have contractual maturities of less than 90 days. Some suppliers of materials and inventory require full prepayment from the Company prior to providing such goods to the Company. See schedule of future lease commitments at Note 11.

 

The Company’s long-term investments in equity of other entities are not publicly traded and there is not an active market to sell the investments for cash.

 

Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”)

The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations.

20. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

 

The Company considers the aggregate of its common shares, options, warrants and borrowings as capital. The Company’s capital management objective is to ensure sufficient resources are available to meet day to day operating requirements and to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other shareholders.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had negative cash from operations and the main source of cash flow was generated from 2021 and prior financing activities. Potential business activities are appropriately evaluated by senior management and a formal review and approval process has been established by the Board of Directors. The Company may enter new financing arrangements to meet its objectives for managing capital until the Company’s operating cash flows are sufficient to cover its operational requirements. The Company’s capital management objectives were being met in 2022 primarily from the use of existing cash balances from 2021 and prior issuances of common shares and warrants and generating increasing revenue in 2022 from the Company’s reportable segments as presented in Note 21.

 

The Company’s officers and senior management take full responsibility for managing the Company’s capital and do so through quarterly meetings and regular review of financial information. The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing this process.

 

The Company is not subject to any external capital requirements. As discussed in Note 12, on June 16, 2022, the Company announced that it plans to repurchase up to $5 million of its common shares.

 

21. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

 

The Company is engaged in the growth, cultivation, and development of medicinal cannabis and medicinal cannabis derivative products through its Colombia Cosechemos subsidiary. The Company’s other businesses are run through its other Colombia and United States subsidiaries. Management has defined the reportable segments of the Company based on this internal business unit reporting, which is by major product line, and aggregates similar businesses into the Consumer Products segment below. The Corporate segment reflects balances and expenses that do not directly influence business unit operations and includes the Company’s long-term investments. The Corporate segment revenue includes the license of intellectual property.

 

The following tables show information regarding the Company’s segments for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021. The 2022 segments were updated to reflect the acquisition of JustCBD (Note 8) with High Roller Private Label LLC operations assigned to the Pharmaceuticals and Nutraceuticals segment, and Just Brands LLC assigned to the Consumer Products segment.

Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) of Flora Growth Corp. (the “Company” or “Flora”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the accompanying notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed on May 9, 2022 (“Annual Report”) with the SEC, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as well as the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and the accompanying notes thereto filed on a Form 6-K with the SEC (collectively the “Financial Statements”). Amounts are expressed in United States dollars (“$” or “USD”) unless otherwise stated to be in Canadian dollars (“CAD”), Euro (“€” or “EUR”), or Colombia pesos (“COP”). Amounts stated in foreign currencies include approximate USD amounts based on exchange rates on June 30, 2022. Variance, ratio, and percentage changes in this MD&A are based on unrounded numbers.

 

This MD&A reports the Company’s activities through June 30, 2022, unless otherwise indicated.

 

This MD&A contains certain non-IFRS and other specified financial measures as defined under applicable securities legislation, including Adjusted EBITDA. Please see the “Adjusted EBITDA” section below for a definition and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA. In determining these measures, the Company excludes certain items which are otherwise included in determining the comparable IFRS financial measures. The Company believes such non-IFRS and other specified financial measures are key performance indicators that improve the period-to-period comparability of the Company’s results and provide investors with more insight into, and an additional tool to understand and assess, the performance of the Company's ongoing core business operations. Where required by applicable securities legislation, the Company has provided definitions of those measures and reconciliations of those measures to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related IFRS financial measures and the reconciliation of non-IFRS and other specified financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures set forth below in the section entitled “Adjusted EBITDA” and should consider non-IFRS and other specified financial measures as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

 

Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, potential target businesses, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, changes in local, regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market (supply and demand) and regulatory conditions. Please see “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the Annual Report for more information regarding forward-looking statements. 

 

Flora has a very limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of its business and prospects. Flora’s short operating history may hinder its ability to successfully meet its objectives and makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate its business or prospective operations.

Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported a net loss of $32.7 million, or $0.42 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.1 million, or $0.13 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Net loss increased from 2021 to 2022 primarily due to a $16.0 million impairment charge on the goodwill of Vessel Brand Inc. (“Vessel”), increased staffing to support expanded and future operations, increased share-based compensation due to option grants in late 2021, and a $1.3 million unrealized loss on the fair value of the Company’s long-term investment in an early-stage European cannabis company. The net loss was partially offset by an increase in gross profit due to higher volume of sales driven by the acquisitions of JustCBD in February 2022 and Vessel in November 2021.

 

The Company had working capital of $18.6 million on June 30, 2022, compared to working capital of $41.8 million on December 31, 2021. The decrease is primarily due to $15.5 million of net cash paid for the acquisition of JustCBD in February 2022 and $10.5 million used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

The Company will continue to utilize proceeds from prior financing and equity issuances as well as the revenue generated from our other business segments following its recent acquisitions and diversification to fund its operations until it reaches profitability. 

 

Revenues

 

Flora reported $14.9 million and $2.1 million in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Revenues generated for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, by the consumer products segment were $13.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The increase was driven by the acquisition of JustCBD in February 2022 and Vessel in November 2021. Revenues generated for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, by the pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals division were $3.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Revenues generated for the six months ended June 30, 2022, by the food and beverage segment of $0.3 million were flat compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. To date, Flora has generated minimal revenues from its cannabis growth segment as the Company has completed minimal harvests in 2022 and continues to build out its operations for further processing and ultimate sale.

 

Cost of sales and gross profit

 

Flora’s cost of sales were $8.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase is due to the increase in sales volume in 2022 compared to 2021 which was due to the acquisition of JustCBD in February 2022 and Vessel in November 2021. Included in the costs of sales in the consumer products segment for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1.6 million related to the markup to fair market value of inventory acquired with JustCBD. Flora also reported less than $0.1 million in unrealized gains on changes in the fair value of biological assets and realized fair value amounts included in inventory sold in its cannabis growth and derivative production segment relating to the Company’s commercial cannabis harvests in the first half of 2022.

 

Flora reported gross profit of $6.5 million and $1.0 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, respectively. Gross profit reported for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, by the consumer products segment was $4.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The increase primarily related to the acquisition of JustCBD ($3.2 million) in February 2022 and Vessel ($1.0 million) in November 2021, partially offset by the $1.6 million charge related to the markup to fair market value of inventory acquired with JustCBD recorded in cost of sales. Gross profit reported for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, by the pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals segment was $2.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The increase was due to the acquisition of JustCBD ($1.2 million) in February 2022. Gross profit reported for both the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, by the food and beverage segment was $0.1 million. The cannabis growth and derivative production segment reported a gross profit of less than $0.1 million and $0.0 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, respectively, as it completed its first commercial harvests in late 2021 and early 2022 and has generated minimal revenue.

 

 Consulting and Management Fees

 

Flora recorded consulting and management fees of $5.2 million and $2.3 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, respectively. These fees are related to consulting contracts with most of the Company’s management, as well as directors, related parties and bonuses. The increase in 2022 primarily relates to increased staffing to support expanded and future operations.

Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

 

Professional Fees

 

Flora recorded professional fees of $2.1 million and $0.8 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, respectively. The increase in 2022 is primarily due to $0.5 million legal and accounting fees related to the acquisition of JustCBD, as discussed in “Item 4.B.—Business overview—Legal Proceedings” in the Annual Report.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

Flora recorded general and administrative expenses of $2.4 million and $1.5 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, respectively. The increase in 2022 is primarily due the acquisition of JustCBD ($0.9 million) in February 2022 and Vessel ($0.1 million) in November 2021.

 

Promotion and Communication Expenses

 

Flora recorded promotion and communication expenses of $4.7 million and $1.2 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, respectively. The increase in 2022 is primarily due to promotional activities related to the Company’s JustCBD and Vessel businesses, as well as costs incurred to support the expected launch of new brands in the second half of 2022, and costs associated with the Company building its marketing strategy.

 

Travel Expenses

 

Flora recorded travel expenses of $0.6 million and $0.1 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, respectively. These expenses were for various trips related to the subsidiaries and the Company’s promotion.

 

 Share Based Compensation Expenses

 

Flora recorded share-based compensation expenses of $2.9 million and $0.1 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, respectively. These expenses represent the amortization of the fair value of share-based payments. The increase in 2022 is primarily due to the stock options granted late in 2021 and early in 2022 having a one-year vesting period that the expense is recognized over, compared to minimal grants in early 2021.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Flora research and development expenses were $0.4 million and $0.1 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021. Research and development expenses to date consist primarily of contract research fees, manufacturing, consultant fees, and study related costs related to cultivation of cannabis in Colombia for the Cosechemos business, as well as costs related to the launch of new brands for the Vessel business.

 

Goodwill

 

As a result of external indicators of impairment primarily due to a 2022 decline in comparable public company share prices which would negatively impact the implied valuation of Vessel, the Company tested the Vessel CGU non-financial assets for impairment as at June 30, 2022. This test resulted in an impairment of $16.0 million as the carrying value of the Vessel CGU’s assets exceeded the recoverable amount.

 

Bad Debt and Other

 

Flora recorded bad debt expense of $0.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to $0.1 million in the six-months ended June 30, 2021, to reflect the Company’s estimate of lifetime expected losses related to outstanding trade receivables.

 

Flora recorded other expenses (income), net of $1.2 million and ($0.1) million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, respectively. These expenses consist mainly of insurance, repairs and maintenance, rent and royalties partially offset by miscellaneous incomes. The increase in 2022 is due to the acquisition of JustCBD in February 2022 and Vessel in November 2021, as well as increased costs to support the overall increased operations of the Company.

Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

 

Unrealized (Gain) Loss on Fair Value of Investments

 

The Company’s 2021 investment in its European cannabis investee decreased approximately $1.3 million during the first six months of 2022 compared to having no such investments in the first six months of 2021. The decrease is due to decreases in observed marketplace valuation metrics affecting cannabis related companies during the first half of 2022.

 

Net Loss

 

Flora recorded net loss of $32.7 million and $5.1 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, respectively. The increase in loss was driven by the recording of goodwill impairment ($16.0 million) and amortization of the fair market value market of inventory acquired ($1.6 million), both within the consumer products segment. The Company also recorded more promotion (+$3.5 million) and stock-based compensation expenses (+$2.8 million), as well as a $1.3 million loss on investment in its European cannabis investee for the six-months ended June 30, 2022, compared to June 30, 2021.

  

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure that does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA as total net loss, plus (minus) income taxes (recovery), plus (minus) interest expense (income), plus depreciation and amortization, plus (minus) non-operating expense (income), plus share based compensation, plus impairment charges, plus (minus) fair value adjustments on investments, plus charges related to the flow-through of inventory step-up on business combinations, plus other acquisition and transaction costs, plus (minus) non-cash fair value adjustments on the sale of inventory and biological assets. Management believes that Adjusted EBTIDA provides meaningful and useful financial information as this measure demonstrates the operating performance of the business.

 

Adjusted EBITDA margin % is a non-IFRS financial measure that does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA margin % as adjusted EBITDA, as described above, divided by revenue for the period.

 

The reconciliation of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS financial measure, to net loss, the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021 is presented in the table below:

Cash flows used in investing activities for the six-months ended June 30, 2021 were due primarily to payments for business and asset acquisitions for the Company’s Colombia operations and the purchases of property, plant and equipment to support Cosechemos and other operations.

 

Working Capital

 

As of June 30, 2022, Flora had working capital of $18.6 million. The Company’s primary cash flow needs are for the development of its cannabis activities, administrative expenses and for general working capital to support growing sales and production with related receivables and payables.

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management, in consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Other than the item noted below, the Company is not aware of any matters which result in a loss contingency.

 

The Company is not able to reasonably estimate the timing of payments associated with deferred tax liabilities and therefore, the preceding table excludes total deferred tax liabilities of $1.5 million.

 

The contingent purchase consideration is based on a clause in the JustCBD purchase agreement that provides if any time during the 24 months following the February 24, 2022 acquisition date the five-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) per share of the Company's common shares as quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market fails to equal or exceed $5.00, then the Company shall issue a number of additional common shares to the sellers equal to the difference between (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is $47.5 million and the denominator of which is the highest five day VWAP at any point during the 24 months following the closing and (y) the 9.5 million common shares delivered to the sellers at the closing. In no event shall the Company be required to issue more than 3.65 million common shares unless it shall have obtained the consent of the Company’s shareholders to do so. In the event the Company is required to deliver in excess of 3.65 million shares to the sellers (“Excess Shares”) and the Company shall not have obtained shareholder consent, the Company may deliver cash to the sellers in lieu of such Excess Shares determined by a formula set forth in the purchase agreement. The settlement of any amount due may be required with cash should Flora not have required shareholder approval to issue these potential shares. The amount in the table above is the estimated fair value of the potential liability as at June 30, 2022.

 

C. Trend Information

 

For a discussion of trends, see “Item 4.B—Business Overview,” “Item 5.A—Operating Results Overview” and “Item 5.B—Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the Annual Report. The trends discussed in the Annual Report have not materially changed as of the date of this MD&A.

 

Plan of Operations

 

As noted above, the continuation of the Company’s current plan of operations is dependent on its ability to complete the development of its cannabis operations and/or other potential projects and attain future profitable production. As a result of raising capital through the sale of Common Shares offered for sale in the Company’s various equity offerings to date, in addition to revenue generated from its business, Flora believes that it will have sufficient cash resources to fund its plan of operations through 2023.

 

 
7

 

 

Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

 

Flora continually evaluates its plan of operations to determine the manner in which it can most effectively utilize its limited cash resources. The timing of completion of any aspect of its plan of operations is highly dependent upon the availability of cash to implement that aspect of the plan and other factors beyond the Company’s control. There is no assurance that the Company will successfully obtain the required capital or revenues, or, if obtained, that the amounts will be sufficient to fund its ongoing operations.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, it is eligible to take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to SEC reporting companies that are not emerging growth companies. For so long as the Company remains an emerging growth company, it will not be required to, among other things:

 

 

·

present more than two years of audited financial statements and two years of related selected financial data and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations disclosure in its registration statement;

 

 

 

 

·

have an auditor report on its internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and

 

 

 

 

·

disclose certain executive compensation related items.

 

The Company will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of its initial public offering, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year during which it has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (iii) the date on which it is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act, which means the market value of its Common Shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and (iv) the date on which it has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

 

D. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Flora’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The preparation of interim financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying its accounting policies.

 

On a periodic basis, Flora evaluates its judgments, assumptions and estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, authoritative pronouncements and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. [However, the Company estimates have not materially changed over the periods presented in the financial statements included in this MD&A.] For summary information about critical judgments, assumptions and estimation uncertainties in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements, see Note 4. Critical Judgements and Estimation Uncertainties, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report.
