Basis of Presentation

Coronavirus pandemic(“COVID-19”)

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of theCOVID-19 virus a global pandemic. This outbreak is causing major disruptions to businesses and markets worldwide as the virus continues to spread. A number of countries as well as certain states and cities within the United States have enacted temporary closures of businesses, issued quarantine orshelter-in-place orders and taken other restrictive measures in response toCOVID-19.

To date, all of the Company’s operations are operating normally, however, the extent to whichCOVID-19 and the related global economic crisis, affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and any recovery period, future actions taken by governmental authorities, central banks and other third parties (including new financial regulation and other regulatory reform) in response to the pandemic, and the effects on our produce, clients, vendors and employees. Village Farms continues to service its customers amid uncertainty and disruption linked toCOVID-19 and is actively managing its business to respond to the impact.

Principals of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include Village Farms International, Inc. and related notes.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 the Company consolidates are reported as non-controlling interests within equity, except for mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests, which are recorded within mezzanine equity. Net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests is reported as a separate line item below net income or loss. The Company applies the equity method of accounting for its investments in entities for which it does not have a controlling financial interest, but over which it has the ability to exert significant influence. For equity investees in which the Company has an undivided interest in the assets, liabilities and profits or losses of an unconsolidated entity, but does not exercise control over the entity, the Company consolidates its proportional interest in the accounts of the entity.

Translations of Foreign Currencies

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ADOPTED

In August 2018,The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2018-13,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” ASU2018-13 removes the disclosure requirement for the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as the process for Level 3 fair value measurements. In addition, the ASU adds the disclosure requirements for changes in unrealizedU.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, with resulting translation gains andor losses included inwithin other comprehensive income (loss) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements heldor loss. Revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average rates of exchange during the end of the reporting period as well as the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU2018-13 on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact onapplicable period. Substantially all the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.foreign operations use their local currency as their functional currency.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is allocated between cost of sales and SG&A expenses depending on the type of asset and is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining life of the lease or useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are charged to cost of sales when incurred. Significant expenditures, which extend the useful lives of assets, are capitalized. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives of the class of assets for the current and comparative periods are as follows:3. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

During the first six months of 2023, the Company considered qualitative factors in assessing for 8,341 square feet of office space located in Lake Mary, Florida. The lease commenced on January 1, 2020 and has a lease term of 88 months with an option to extend for five years. The base rentimpairment indicators for the lease will be adjusted annually by multiplyingCompany’s U.S. and Canadian cannabis segments. As part of this assessment, the base rent by 1.025. The initial lease liability was calculatedCompany considered both external and internal factors, including overall financial performance and outlook. At June 30, 2023, the Company concluded that no impairment indicators existed as no events or circumstances occurred that would, more likely than not, reduce the presentfair value of the lease payments using an incremental borrowing ratereporting units to be below their carrying amounts.

Throughout 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.

INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES

Summarized Equity Earnings (Losses)- 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 recoverable amount 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 recoverable amount 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 recoverable amount are described below:

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

Cannabis - U.S. - Brand

The recoverable amount of the brand was determined based on a discounted cash flow projection. Specifically, the Company utilized a relief from Unconsolidated Entitiesroyalty valuation technique to arrive at the recoverable amount of the brand. Management concluded that as of June 30, 2022, the recoverable amount was lower than its carrying value of $9,250 and as a result, an impairment charge to the brand intangible of $4,630 was allocated to the reporting unit.

The significant assumptions applied to the determination of the recoverable amount 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 $530.
Royalty rate: An incremental royalty rate of 4.0% 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 $1,490.
Future revenues: A decrease in future revenues by 10% would increase the impairment by approximately $470.

On June 6, 2017,March 13, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to form Pure Sunfarms, a B.C. corporation, with Emerald Health Therapeutics Inc. (“Emerald”Note Modification Agreement (the “Modification”) for its line of credit ("Operating Loan"). The purposeModification eliminated the use of Pure Sunfarms is to produce, market and distribute cannabis in Canada.

The Company accounts for its investment in Pure Sunfarms, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 323, Equity Method and Joint Ventures (“ASC 323”), using the equity method. The Company has determined that Pure Sunfarms is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), however the Company does not consolidate Pure Sunfarms because the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Although the Company is able to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Pure Sunfarms through its 58.7% majority ownership interest, the Company shares joint control of the Board of Directors and therefore is not the primary beneficiary. The Company’s maximum exposure to lossLIBOR as a result of its involvement with Pure Sunfarms as of March 31, 2020 relates primarilybasis to determine certain interest rates and transitioned to the Company’s investment of $55,607 and the recovery of the outstanding loan to Pure Sunfarms of $9,959.

The Company is required to apply the hypothetical liquidation at book valueSecured Overnight Financing Rate (“HLBV”SOFR”) method to determine its allocation of the profits and losses in Pure Sunfarms. When determining its allocation of profits and losses, the HLBV method only considers shares thatfor such purposes. This Modification did not have been fully paid for. Therefore, due to the monthly escrow payments made by Emerald in 2019 in accordance with the Delta 2 Option and Escrow Agreements, the ownership changed each month in 2019 as escrow payment(s) were made. Under the hypothetical liquidation method, the Company received 57.4% and 57.6% of Pure Sunfarms’ earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In 2020, all of the escrow payments were made so the allocation of profits and losses is based on shares outstanding at the end of each month.

On March 31, 2019, Pure Sunfarms exercised its option to utilize the Delta 2 assets and operations. The contribution of the assets has been accounted for as a disposal of the land, greenhouse facility and other assets in exchange for 25,000,000 common shares of Pure Sunfarms. This was anon-cash transaction, and it was estimated that the fair value of the land, building and other assets was $18.7 million (CA$25 million) at the date of contribution. The Company recognized a gain of $13.6 millionmaterial effect on the contribution of the fixed assets.

On March 2, 2020, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Emerald transferred to the Company 2.5% of additional equity in Pure Sunfarms. The Company determined the fair value of the equity received from Emerald to be CA$6.5 million (US$4.7 million). The Company recorded this amount as a gain and it’s included as gain on nonmonetary exchange on the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2020.9


As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the total investment in Pure Sunfarms of $55.6 million and $41.3 million, respectively, was recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report and the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022(our "Annual Report on Form 10-K"). This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements about our plans and expectations of what may happen in the future. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and estimates that are inherently subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and our actual results could differ materially from the results anticipated by our forward-looking statements. We encourage you to review the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied by our forward-looking statements contained in this report. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this management’s discussion and analysis, and we do not intend, and do not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Village Farms International, Inc. (“VFF”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “Village Farms”, “we” “us” or “our”) is a corporation existing under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The Company’s principal operating subsidiaries are Village Farms Canada LP ("VFCLP"), Village Farms LP ("VFLP"), Pure Sunfarms Corp (“Pure Sunfarms” or "PSF"), Balanced Health Botanicals, LLC (“Balanced Health”), and Rose LifeScience Inc. ("Rose LifeScience” or “Rose”).

The Company’s vision is to be recognized as an international leader in consumer products developed from plants, whereby we produce and market value-added products that are consistently preferred by consumers. To do so, we leverage decades of cultivation expertise, investment, and experience in fresh produce across profitable, high growth plant-based opportunities.

In Canada, we converted two produce facilities to grow cannabis for the Canadian legal adult use (recreational) market. Our focus for our Canadian Cannabis segment is to produce high quality cannabis, leveraging our low-cost production to provide preferred products at an attractive price that address the largest consumer segments in the market. This market positioning, combined with our cultivation expertise, has enabled us to evolve into the best-selling Canadian licensed producer (“LP”) of dried flower products, the third best-selling Canadian producer overall and one of the few consistently adjusted EBITDA positive Canadian LPs.

Additionally, through organic growth, acquisitions and/or exports, we have a strategy to participate in other international markets where cannabis attains legal status. In September 2021, our Canadian Cannabis business began exporting cannabis products to Australia for that country’s medical market. In March 2022, our Canadian Cannabis business received European Union Good Manufacturing Practice (“EU GMP”) certification for Pure Sunfarms’ 1.1 million square foot Delta 3 cannabis facility located in Delta, British Columbia (“B.C.”) which permits Pure Sunfarms to export EU GMP-certified medical cannabis to importers and distributors in international markets that require EU GMP certification. In late 2022, Pure Sunfarms commenced exports to Israel and in 2023, Pure Sunfarms began exporting cannabis products to Germany for the medical markets in those countries. As a result of the typically higher margins in international medical markets, we expect international expansion should enhance our profitability while expanding our brand and experience into emerging legal cannabis markets. We also have one of ten licenses to cultivate cannabis legally in the Netherlands under that country’s Closed Supply Chain Experiment program through our 85% ownership of Leli Holland.

Balanced Health, our industry-leading cannabinoid business, extends our cannabis portfolio into cannabidiol (“CBD”) consumer products, which are being sold in the United States.

We also operate a large, well-established produce business (primarily tomatoes) under the Village Farms Fresh (“VF Fresh”) brand which sells into food and mass retail stores. We own and operate produce cultivation assets in Texas and Delta, B.C. and source produce from our growing partners, in Mexico and Canada. Our intention is to use our assets, expertise and experience (across cannabis, CBD and produce) to participate in the U.S. cannabis market subject to compliance with applicable US federal and state laws and stock exchange rules.

Our Operating Segments

Canadian Cannabis Segment

Our Canadian Cannabis segment is composed of wholly owned Pure Sunfarms and 70% owned Rose LifeScience.

Pure Sunfarms is one of the single largest cannabis growing operations in the world, one of the lowest-cost greenhouse producers and is the top selling dried flower brand in Canada. PSF leverages our 30 years of experience as a vertically integrated greenhouse grower for the high growth cannabis opportunity in Canada with commercial distribution in ten Canadian provinces and territories that represent 98% of total Canadian legal recreational cannabis sales. Our long-term objective for PSF is to be the leading low-cost, high-quality cannabis producer and brand in Canada.

15


Rose is one of the top-selling licensed producers of cannabis in the Province of Quebec, as well as a prominent cannabis products commercialization expert in Quebec, acting as the exclusive, direct-to-retail sales, marketing and distribution entity for some of the best-known brands in Canada, as well as Quebec-based micro and craft growers.

U.S. Cannabis Segment

Our U.S. Cannabis segment is composed of wholly owned Balanced Health.

Balanced Health is one of the leading cannabinoid brands and e-commerce platforms in the United States. Balanced Health develops and sells high-quality CBD-based health and wellness products, distributing their diverse portfolio of consumer products through retail storefronts and its top-ranked e-commerce platform, CBDistillery™.

Produce Segment

Our Produce segment is composed of VF Fresh, which currently consists of Village Farms LP and Village Farms Canada.

Through VF Fresh, we grow, market and distribute premium-quality, greenhouse-grown produce in North America. These premium products are grown in sophisticated, highly intensive agricultural greenhouse facilities located in British Columbia and Texas. We also market and distribute premium tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers produced under exclusive arrangements from our greenhouse supply partners located primarily in Mexico, B.C. and Ontario. We primarily market and distribute under our Village Farms® brand name to retail supermarkets and dedicated fresh food distribution companies throughout the United States and Canada.

Energy Segment

Our Energy segment is composed of wholly owned VF Clean Energy Inc.

VFCE, which has partnered with Mas Energy for the Delta RNG Project based on VFCE’s 20-year contract (plus five-year option) with the City of Vancouver to capture landfill gas at the Delta, B.C. landfill site (the "Delta RNG Project"). The Delta RNG Project will convert VFCE’s previous landfill gas-to-electricity business into a state-of-the-art landfill gas to high-demand renewable natural gas ("RNG") facility. Mas Energy intends to sell the renewable natural gas and VFCE will receive a portion of the revenue in the form of a royalty. The facility will also provide food-grade CO2 that can be used in both our cannabis and produce growing operations in Delta or can be provided to other users of CO2. Mas Energy is in process of completing the facility and we expect the Delta RNG Project to begin operations later this year.

Recent Developments and Updates

Canadian Cannabis Recent Developments and Updates

In April 2023, Rose LifeScience entered into an agreement pursuant to which it agreed to provide supply management and distribution services to Hexo in Quebec commencing in April 2023 until the close of the acquisition of Hexo by Tilray. As this transaction closed on June 22, 2023, all of Tilray’s sales including the now acquired Hexo Quebec sales will continue to be managed, for a distribution fee, by Rose LifeScience.
During the first half of 2023, according to independent third-party sources (amalgamated to cover all provinces), Village Farms’ Canadian Cannabis remains top three ranked by market share position across all product categories in Canada and has maintained its leading market share in dried flower category in Canada. Based on these sources, Province of Quebec-focused Rose LifeScience moved to rank number one by market share position in Quebec during the second quarter of 2023.

U.S. Cannabis Recent Developments and Updates

Balanced Health continues to launch incremental products under its successful 2022 new Synergy+ line. It was the first CBD company to advertise on Twitter under its recent new cannabis policy.
The Company filed an application for a Texas Medicinal license in late April 2023. The Company is hopeful that its application will be awarded the highest or one of the highest marks, putting it in a good position, should the State of Texas award additional medicinal cannabis licenses. If awarded, the Company plans to work with its listing authority to structure an acceptable ownership structure.

Delta RNG Project Update

Construction is being completed in August 2023, with commissioning to commence later in the third quarter of 2023.

16


VF Fresh (Produce)

The Company has commenced the sale process of its Monahans (Permian Basin, Texas) greenhouse facility and is expecting initial indications of interest in the third quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect our business performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect our business performance. Adjusted EBITDA includes the Company’s 70% interest in Rose LifeScience.

PRODUCE SEGMENT RESULTS – VF FRESH

The produce segment, VF Fresh, currently consists of Village Farms LP and Village Farms Canada LP. VF Fresh’s comparative analysis are based on the consolidated results of Village Farms LP and Village Farms Canada LP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2022

Sales

VF Fresh sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $43,846 as compared to $47,176 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in sales of ($3,330) or (7%) was primarily due to a decrease in supply partner revenues of ($4,513), partially offset by an increase in sales from the VF Fresh-owned greenhouses of $1,183. The decrease in supply partner revenues is due to a decrease of (18%) in product volume. The Company’s own sales increased 11% due to an 18% increase in the selling price partially offset by a decrease of (6%) in pounds produced. The decrease in production pounds is due to a (15%) strategic reduction in acres planted in Texas.

The average selling price for all produce sold, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, versus the three months ended June 30, 2022, changed as follows: tomatoes increased 5%, peppers decreased (13%), cucumbers increased 26% and mini cucumbers increased 44%. The price changes are due to both higher market pricing in 2023 versus 2022, as well as a higher percentage of VF Fresh sales going direct to retail accounts versus the first quarter of 2022.

Cost of Sales

Sales

Canadian Cannabis net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $28,065 as compared to $29,793 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease between comparable quarters was driven by a (64%) decrease in non-branded sales, as well as an unfavorable impact of exchange rate fluctuations, partially offset by an 18% increase in branded sales. The 18% increase in branded sales was attained through increased sales in Ontario and Alberta as well as Rose’s strengthening position in Quebec. Canadian Cannabis branded revenue growth was primarily in the large format and pre-rolls offset by a decrease in small formats, milled and cannabis derivative products for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The (64%) decrease in non-branded sales was primarily due to an oversupplied LP market, which has resulted in continuing desperation pricing by some LPs, which has resulted in fluctuations in our non-branded channels. International sales increased by $901, or 189%, to $1,377for the three months ended June 30, 2023 versus $476for the three months ended June 30, 2022 the increase was primarily driven by incremental sales to Australia.

The increase of $2,778(C$4,481) in excise taxes was due to an increase in kilograms sold in this provincial (branded) channel in the second quarter of 2023 versus the second quarter of 2022. The Canadian excise tax is our single largest cost of participating in the adult-use market in Canada.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, 85% of revenue was generated from branded flower, inclusive of pre-rolls, 4% of revenue from cannabis derivative products and 11% from non-branded sales as compared to 67% of revenue from branded flower, inclusive of pre-rolls, 4% from cannabis derivative products and 29% from non-branded sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Item 2.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report and the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The March 31, 2019 figures are based on the Company’s recently restated GAAP results filed on Form 8-K on April 22, 2020 and not the Company’s IFRS financial statements filed in May 2019. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements about our plans and expectations of what may happen in the future. Forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions and estimates that are inherently subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and our actual results could differ materially from the results anticipated by our forward-looking statements, particularly in light of the ongoing and developingCOVID-19 pandemic. See “Forward-Looking Statements”.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Through our majority ownership position in our joint venture, the British Columbia-based Pure Sunfarms Corp. (“PSF” or “Pure Sunfarms”), we have one of the single largest cannabis growing operations in the world. We are also one of the largest and longest-operating vertically integrated greenhouse growers in North America and the only publicly traded greenhouse produce company in Canada, and we have joint venture operations in hemp and CBD products.

Pure Sunfarms leverages our 30 years of experience as a vertically integrated greenhouse grower for the rapidly emerging cannabis opportunity following legalization of cannabis in Canada. Pure Sunfarms is currently one of the largest producers of cannabis in Canada with distribution in three of the provinces. Its long-term objective is to be the leading low cost, high quality cannabis producer in Canada. In our greenhouse operations, we produce and distribute fresh, premium-quality produce with consistency 365 days a year to national grocers in the U.S. and Canada from more than nine million square feet of Controlled Environment Agriculture (“CEA”) greenhouses in British Columbia and Texas, as well as from our partner greenhouses in British Columbia, Ontario and Mexico. We are also pursuing opportunities to become a vertically integrated leader in the U.S. hemp-derived CBD market, subject to compliance with all applicable U.S. federal and state laws. We have established two joint ventures, Village Fields Hemp USA, LLC (“VF Hemp” or “VFH”), and Arkansas Valley Green and Gold Hemp LLC, for multi-state outdoor hemp cultivation and CBD extraction and plans to pursue controlled environment hemp production at our Texas greenhouse operations, which total 5.7 million square feet of production area, subject to legalization of hemp in Texas. Our subsidiary VF Clean Energy, Inc. (“VFCE”), owns and operates a 7.0 MW power plant that generates electricity.

Recent developments relating to the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic(“COVID-19”)

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of theCOVID-19 virus a global pandemic. This outbreak is causing major disruptions to businesses and markets worldwide as the virus continues to spread. A number of countries, including Canada, as well as certain states and cities within the United States have enacted temporary closures of businesses, issued quarantine orshelter-in-place orders and taken other restrictive measures in response toCOVID-19.

To date, all of our cultivation operations as well as PSF’s cultivation operations are operating. However, the extent to whichCOVID-19 and the related global economic crisis, affects our workforce, results of operations and financial condition, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and any recovery period, future actions taken by governmental authorities, central banks and other third parties such as our produce customers, cannabis retail store operations and vendors. We continue to service our customers amid uncertainty and disruption linked toCOVID-19 and are actively managing our business to respond to the impact.

We caution you that our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 may not be indicative of our future performance, particularly considering the ongoing and developingCOVID-19 pandemic. We are currently unable to assess the ultimate impact of theCOVID-19 pandemic on our business and our results of operations for future periods.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. See“Non-GAAP Measures” for a definition and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the nearest comparable measurement under GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA includes the Company’s majoritynon-controlling interest in Pure Sunfarms and 65% interest in VFH.

JV Cannabis Business – Pure Sunfarms

Set forth below are the operating results of PSF, before any allocation to Village Farms, which are not consolidated in our financial results, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States (“GAAP”). A discussion of our consolidated results, including our Produce Segment, is included further below.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Sales

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $13,137 and $10,801, respectively, an increase of 21.6%. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, sales consisted of approximately 10,365 kilograms (“kgs”) of flower and trim, at an average sales price of $1.27 per gram (CAD $1.75 per gram). For the three months ended March 31, 2019, sales consisted of approximately 4,140 kilograms of flower and trim, at an average sales price of $2.61 per gram (CAD $3.47 per gram).

Sales includenon-monetary transactions with extraction licensed producers in which PSF sold extraction grade dried flower and trim and purchased for various forms of distillate from the same counterparties. PSF committed to sell approximately 8,802 kgs of dried flower for $7,138 of which approximately 6,256 kgs of dried flower were sold in the quarter for $5,037 and committed to and purchased 368.161 liters of distillate for $6,566 and will receive net cash of $573. The distillate will be used by PSF in future cannabis 2.0 product launches. Title and control of the extraction grade dried flower and trim was transferred and accepted by the customers, with some of it being delivered during the quarter and some of it being sold on a bill and hold basis and therefore, identified as separately belonging to the customer while still in the physical possession of PSF. Some of the distillate has been delivered and some is being held by the extraction companies, but has been identified and accepted by PSF.

Sales to provincial boards totaled 3,065 kgs during the quarter at an average price of $1.98 per gram, as compared to nil in the first quarter of 2019 when all of PSF sales were to the wholesale channel. Sales to provincial governments increased 135.8% from the fourth quarter of 2019, which was PSF’s first full quarter of retail (provincial sales). The first quarter of 2020 benefited from the initial launch and sale of product to Alberta.

Cost of Goods

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $6,258 and $3,818, respectively, an increase of 63.9%. The total cost increase is driven by a period over period increase in kgs sold. The cost of kgs sold in the first quarter of 2020 was $0.64 per kgs, versus $1.04 in the first quarter of 2019. The lower cost in 2020 was driven by full scale operations in 2020 versus 2019, providing better efficiencies and economies of scale, as well as more experience since PSF initial winter crop cycle. The cost of production in the first quarter of 2020 was higher than the fourth quarter of 2019 due the incremental use and cost of power to run the operations.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $2,434 and $999, respectively, an increase of 143.6%. The increase is primarily due to investments in retail sales, marketing and staffing.

Other Income

PSF recognized $4,348 in the first quarter of 2020 as an outcome of the March 2, 2020 Settlement Agreement between PSF, Emerald Health and the Company. This gain is PSF’s forgiveness of the shareholder loan and accrued interest owed by Emerald offset by the extinguishment of the Supply Agreement and any amounts receivable under it, which included an CA$8.1 million receivable from Emerald for sales made in 2019.

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $6,165 and $4,403, respectively, an increase of 40.0%.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), which excludes theone-off gain on settlement of net liabilities, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $4,868 and $6,451, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to lower selling prices and higher selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same prior year period.

Consolidated Line Item Results

Three months ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Three months ended March 31, 2019

Sales

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased $222, or 1%, to $32,112 compared to $31,890 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in sales is primarily due to an increase in supply partner sales of $2,257 partially offset by a decrease in our own production sales of ($1,964). The decrease in the sale of our own production is primarily attributed to a decrease of (18%) in our product volume as a result of ongoing plant disease pressure at our Texas facilities.

The average net price for all tomato pounds sold increased 12% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019 due to an increase in the average selling price of our commodity items, which includes beefsteak and tomatoes on the vine (“TOVs”). The increase in net price in the commodity item prices was primarily due to a supply shortage throughout most of the first quarter of 2020. Pepper prices increased 22% and pepper pounds decreased (49%) when compared to the same prior year period. Cucumber prices decreased (8%) and cucumber pounds remained flat for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased $132, or less than 1%, to $31,347 from $31,215 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, due to a decrease in freight expense and production costs at our Texas facilities, partially offset by an increase in contract sales costs of 4%. The decrease in freight expense and Texas facilities production costs is primarily due to a decline in our own production volume which continues to be affected by the ongoing plant disease pressure.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased ($321), or (8%), to $3,921 from $4,242 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease is primarily due to reductions in employee related expenses, accounting fees and travel offset by an increase in legal expense related primarily to public company filings and the settled matters with our Pure Sunfarms joint venture partner and increases in other public company expenses.

Stock Compensation Expenses

Share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $529 compared to $1,296 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in share-based compensation expense is primarily due to the vesting of performance shares earned related to developments in Pure Sunfarms in the first quarter of 2019.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased ($157) to $537 from $694 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease is due to lower interest rates and lower debt balances.    

Interest Income

Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $383 and $136, respectively. The increase is due to interest being earned on the VFH grid loan that did not exist during the first quarter of 2019.    

Equity Earnings from Unconsolidated Entities

Equity earnings from our unconsolidated entities increased 24% to $3,229 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $2,611 for the prior year period. The increase is primarily due to a $4,348 gain resulting from the outcome of the March 2, 2020 Settlement Agreement between PSF, Emerald Health and the Company, of which $2,496 is our share of that income, offset by a period over period increase in Pure Sunfarms’ selling, general and administrative expenses of ($1,435) and our share of VF Hemp first quarter losses of ($302). For information regarding the results of operations from our joint ventures, refer to “JV Cannabis Business” above and “Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Results to Proportionate Results” below.

Income Tax Recovery (Provision)

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded an income tax recovery of $1,012 compared to an income tax provision of ($4,436) for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The improvement is primarily due to a $13,564 gain on disposal of assets arising from the contribution of our Delta 2 assets to Pure Sunfarms during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Pure Sunfarms and VF Hemp are both reportedpost-tax and therefore do not factor into our tax calculation.

(Loss) gain on Disposal of Assets

The Company recognized a loss on disposal of assets of ($6) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to a gain of $13,564 in the prior year period. The 2019 gain was due to the contribution of Delta 2 assets to Pure Sunfarms in March 2019. The gain represents the difference between our book value of the assets contributed and the CA$25,000 fair market value of stock received in PSF.

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $4,190 and $6,466, respectively. The decrease was due to a gain on settlement of $4,681, a recovery of taxes of $1,012 and a decrease in share-based compensation of $767 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to a gain on disposal of assets of $13,564 offset by a provision for taxes of ($4,436), recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased to $1,096 from $1,344 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. See the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income in“Non-GAAP Measures - Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Adjusted EBITDA”.

Notes:

(1)

The adjusted consolidated financial results have been adjusted to include our share of sales and expenses from Pure Sunfarms and Hemp on a proportionate accounting basis, on which management bases its operating decisions and performance evaluation. GAAP does not allow for the inclusion of the joint ventures on a proportionate basis. These results include additionalnon-GAAP measures such as Adjusted EBITDA.

The adjusted results are not generally accepted measures of financial performance underhave a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Our method of calculatingTherefore, Adjusted EBITDA presented for these financial performance measures may differ from other companies and accordingly, theysegments may not be comparable to similar measures usedpresented by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. See“Non-GAAP Measures”. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA includes our majoritynon-controlling interest Pure Sunfarms and our 65% interest in VF Hemp.

(1)
Represents impairments to goodwill of ($25,159) and intangible assets of ($4,630) that were triggered by inflationary effects on consumer spending, decreases in market capitalization of CBD companies and the continued federal regulation lack of clarity with respect to CBD.
(2)
Represents exit-related costs incurred due to the winding down of the VF Hemp joint venture.
(3)
The purchase price adjustment primarily reflects the non-cash accounting charge resulting from the revaluation of Pure Sunfarms’ inventory to fair value at the acquisition date on November 2, 2020, Pure Sunfarms' intangible amortization and Rose intangible amortization resulting from the September 30, 2022 finalization of the Rose purchase price accounting.
(4)
Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA presented for these segments may not be comparable to similar measures presented for comparable segments by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company’s segments because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect the business performance of our segments. Adjusted EBITDA for Canadian Cannabis includes the 70% interest in Rose LifeScience and Adjusted EBITDA for “Corporate” and “Total” includes our 65% interest in VFH.

Constant Currency

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented constant currency adjusted financial measures for sales, cost of sales, selling, general and administrative, other income (expense), operating (loss) income, loss from consolidated entities, net loss, and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. We present constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying operations performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period income statement results in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates from the three and six month comparative periods in 2022 rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the respective current periods. All growth comparisons relate to the corresponding period in 2022. We have provided this non-GAAP financial information to aid investors in better understanding the performance of our segments without taking into account the effect of exchange rate fluctuations. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The table below sets forth certain measures of consolidated results from continuing operations on a constant currency basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 on an as reported and constant currency basis (in thousands):

In December 2019,No accounting pronouncements recently issued or newly effective have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the FASB issued ASU2019-12,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” ASU2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing exceptions within the general principles of Topic 740 regarding the calculation of deferred tax liabilities, the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, and calculating income taxes in an interim period. In addition, the ASU adds clarifications to the accounting for franchise tax (or similar tax). which is partially based on income, evaluating tax basis of goodwill recognized from a business combination, and reflecting the effect of any enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and will be applied either retrospectively or prospectively based upon the applicable amendments. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on itsCompany’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our most recent Annual Report on Form10-K have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Actual results could differ from the estimates we use in applying our critical accounting policies. We are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Goodwill

Factors Affecting Goodwill

The Company has experienced macroeconomic challenges, such as a decrease in market capitalization driven by decreases in transaction multiples for cannabis and CBD companies, as well as the continued ambiguity in federal regulations with respect to the U.S. CBD market. Macroeconomic challenges include inflation, which affects cultivation costs, distribution costs and operating expenses, as well as rising interest rates, supply shortages and volatile commodity prices.

The U.S. CBD market and the comparable market capitalizations for our CBD competitors declined throughout 2022 as a result of continued ambiguity in federal regulations. CBD was taken off the controlled substance list in the Farm Bill of 2018. In 2019, the FDA ruled that CBD was deemed to be a “medicine”. However, CBD remains subject to further study by the FDA in order to receive FDA approval to include CBD based products in food and beverages. Until the FDA receives either more scientifically-based health and wellness studies, or further Congressional direction, the FDA will not allow CBD to be put into food or beverages. As such, there has been a negative impact on the sales of all CBD products across the country since the initial interest in CBD products in 2019 and 2020. This has resulted in U.S. retailers moving away from carrying CBD based products in light of potential FDA scrutiny and has had a negative impact on the sales of all CBD products across the United States.

The FDA continues to not only publish guidance indicating their unwillingness to pursue rulemaking allowing the use of CBD in dietary supplements or conventional foods, but also issue warning letters to some CBD companies that are making health and wellness claims, which has increased regulatory uncertainty regarding CBD and has pushed U.S. retailers further away from CBD products.

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company and other cannabis and CBD companies have suffered a decline in the price of their common shares and their overall market capitalizations. These declines represented an indicator of possible goodwill and intangible asset impairment for the Company.

Cannabis – U.S.

As a result of foregoing factors, we performed a goodwill impairment assessment for the Company’s Cannabis – U.S. segment as of June 30, 2022. On June 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of goodwill for the Cannabis – U.S. segment using the market-based approach. The most significant assumption used in applying the market approach was a market-based revenue multiple of 1.6x based on transaction multiples of somewhat similar CBD-based companies. We concluded that as of June 30, 2022, the recoverable amount was lower than its carrying amount and as a result, an impairment charge to goodwill of $25,169 was allocated to the Cannabis – U.S. segment for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

In addition, due to further erosion in the market values publicly traded CBD companies relating to the ongoing uncertainty regarding the regulatory status of CBD and the corresponding decline in retail sales of CBD products, we concluded that as of December 31, 2022, the recoverable amount of goodwill for the U.S. – Cannabis segment was lower than its carrying amount and as a result, an additional impairment charge to goodwill of $13,500 was allocated to the U.S. – Cannabis segment. Accordingly, we recognized a total goodwill impairment charge of $38,669 in 2022. For more information, see Note 11 to our audited annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

As of June 30, 2023, there were no goodwill impairment indicators for the Company’s Cannabis – U.S. segment. Accordingly, the Company did not perform a goodwill impairment assessment for the Company’s Cannabis – U.S. segment as of June 30, 2023. Given this, no goodwill impairment charge was required for the Cannabis – U.S. segment.

The carrying value of goodwill associated with our Cannabis – U.S. segment was $21,339 at June 30, 2023 and $34,839 at June 30, 2022.

Cannabis - Canada

There were no goodwill impairment indicators for the Cannabis – Canada segment throughout 2022 and 2023. Accordingly, the Company did not perform a goodwill impairment assessment for the Company’s Cannabis – Canada segment.

33


The carrying value of goodwill associated with our Cannabis – Canada segment was $45,900 at June 30, 2023 and $57,804 at June 30, 2022.

Future Periods; Further Information

To the extent we continue to observe impairment indicators for our Cannabis – U.S. and/or Cannabis – Canada segments or our other reporting units, we may be required to perform quantitative goodwill impairment assessments for such reporting units in future periods.

For further information regarding our goodwill and any applicable impairment testing, see Note 11 to our audited annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Note 4 to our interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Intangible Assets

Factors Affecting Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include licenses, brands and trademarks, customer relationships, computer software and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, which were impacted by the same factors as those affecting goodwill (see “—Factors Affecting Goodwill” above).

Cannabis – U.S.

As a result of foregoing factors, we performed a brand impairment assessment for the Company’s Cannabis – U.S. segment as of June 30, 2022. On June 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Cannabis – U.S. brand was determined using a discounted cash flow projection. We concluded that as of June 30, 2022, the recoverable amount was lower than its carrying amount and as a result, an impairment charge to the brand intangible of $4,630 was allocated to the Cannabis – U.S. segment.

As of June 30, 2023, there were no brand impairment indicators for the Company’s Cannabis – U.S. segment. Accordingly, the Company did not perform a brand impairment assessment for the Company’s Cannabis – U.S. segment as of June 30, 2023.

Cannabis - Canada

There were no impairment indicators for identifiable intangibles for the Cannabis – Canada segment throughout 2022 and 2023. Accordingly, the Company did not perform impairment assessments for the Company’s Cannabis – Canada.

Future Periods; Further Information

To the extent we continue to experience intangible assets impairment indicators for our Cannabis – U.S. and/or Cannabis – Canada segments or our other reporting units, we may be required to perform quantitative intangible asset impairment assessments for such reporting units in future periods.

For additional information regarding our intangible assets and applicable impairment testing, see Note 11 to our audited annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Note 4 to our interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

InterestAs of June 30, 2023, our variable interest rate debt was primarily related to our Credit Facilities and Term Loans. Outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility and Term Loans bear interest at either the (a) Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or (b) Canadian Prime Rate, as defined in the agreement, plus an applicable margin. As of June 30, 2023, we had approximately $4,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding revolving loans under our Operating Loan with a weighted average interest rate of 6.48% and we had approximately $50,988 in aggregate principal amounts with Term Loans with a weighted average interest rate of 8.22%. The current interest rates for outstanding revolving loans under our Credit Facility and Term Loans reflect basis point increases of approximately 3.7% over the comparable period in 2022.


Our interest expense is affected by the overall interest rate environment. Our variable rate interest debt subjects us to
risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changesfrom increases in marketprevailing interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rateThis risk on its long-term debt, forincreases in the current inflationary environment, in which the Federal Reserve has increased interest rates, charged fluctuate based on the90-day LIBOR rate. Ifresulting in an increase in our variable interest rates had beenand related interest expense. An additional 50 basis points higher,point increase in the net income during the periods ended March 31, 2020applicable interest rates under our Credit Facility and 2019Term Loan would have been lower by $40 and $43, respectively. This represents $40 and $43 in increased our interest expense by approximately $131 and $65 for the periodsthree and six months ended March 31, 2020June 30, 2023, respectively and 2019,$149 and $76 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

While we cannot predict our ability to refinance existing debt or the significance of the impact that interest rate movements will have on our existing debt, management evaluates our financial position on an ongoing basis.

Foreign Exchange Risk

As of March 31, 2020,June 30, 2023 and 2019,2022, the Canadian/U.S. foreign exchange rate was C$1.00 = US$0.70560.7547 and C$1.00 = US$0.7489,0.7995, respectively. Assuming thatIf all other variables remain constant, an increase of $0.10 in the Canadian dollar would have the following impact on the ending balances of certain statements of financial position items at March 31, 2020June 30, 2023 and March 31, 20192022 with the net foreign exchange gain or loss directly impacting net income (loss).

Our exposure to foreign exchange risk and the impact of foreign exchange rates are monitored by the Company’s management but generally the Company tries to match its sales (trade receivables) and vendor payments (trade payables) such that the net impact is not material.

Other than the interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk discussed above, there have been no material changes tourto our market risks from those disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’sDisclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosureour disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined inRule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)procedures as of the end of the period covered by this

Quarterly Report.Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, theour Chief Executive Officer and the PrincipalChief Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the Company’sJune 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.not effective at a reasonable assurance level due to the material weakness described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Material Weakness in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

As of December 31, 2022, 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, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on those criteria because a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date, as described below.

The Company did not operate effective controls over the calculation of the recoverable amount of goodwill and intangible assets. The Company’s controls related to the calculation of the recoverable amount of goodwill failed to prevent or detect an error in the revision of certain of the formulas and significant assumptions within the calculation of recoverable amount. There was no impact on the Company’s December 31, 2022 financial statements.

Remediation Plan and Status

In the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company implemented remediation to improve the operation of its controls over the review of the determination of the recoverable amount of its goodwill and intangible assets. The Company will continue to review, optimize and enhance its financial reporting controls and procedures to ensure the remediation measures are effective and controls are operating effectively. The Company expects implementation of its remediation plan by December 31, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, has reviewed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Company’sExchange Act), other than to address the material weakness described in management's report on internal control over financial reporting, during the quartersix months ended March 31, 2020June 30, 2023 (as described above) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting.
