Item 1.  Financial Statements

Forward Looking Statement

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “Village Farms,” “Village Farms International,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar references refer to Village Farms International, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries, and the term “Common Shares” refers to our common shares, no par value. Our financial information is presented in U.S. dollars and all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “$” means U.S. dollars and all references to “C$” means Canadian dollars.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also contains “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities law. We refer to such forward-looking statements and forward-looking information collectively as “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements may relate to the Company’s future outlook or financial position and anticipated events or results and may include statements regarding the financial position, business strategy, budgets, expansion plans, litigation, projected production, projected costs, capital expenditures, financial results, taxes, plans and objectives of or involving the Company. Particularly, statements regarding future results, performance, achievements, prospects or opportunities for the Company, the greenhouse vegetable industry or the cannabis industry are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by such terms as “outlook”, “may”, “might”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “occur”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “try”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, “continue”, “likely”, “schedule”, “objectives”, or the negative or grammatical variation thereof or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are subject to risks that may include, but are not limited to: our limited operating history, including that of our Pure Sunfarms Corp. joint venture for the production of cannabis in Canada (our “Joint Venture”) and ourstart-up operations of growing hemp in the United States; the legal status of our Joint Venture;Pure Sunfarms cannabis business; risks relating to obtaining additional financing, including our dependence upon credit facilities; potential difficulties in achieving and/or maintaining profitability; variability of product pricing; risks inherent in the cannabis, hemp and agricultural businesses; the ability of our Joint VenturePure Sunfarms to cultivate and distribute cannabis in Canada; existing and new governmental regulations, including risks related to regulatory compliance and licenses (e.g., our Joint Venture’sPure Sunfarms ability to obtain licenses for its Delta 2 greenhouse facility as well as additional licenses under the Canadian act respecting cannabis to amend to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Criminal Code and other Acts, S.C. 2018, c. 16 (Canada) for its Delta 3 greenhouse facility), and changes in our regulatory requirements; risks relating to conversion of our greenhouses to cannabis production for our Joint Venture;Pure Sunfarms; risks related to rules and regulations at the U.S. federal (Food and Drug Administration and United States Department of Agriculture), state and municipal levels with respect to produce and hemp; retail consolidation, technological advances and other forms of competition; transportation disruptions; product liability and other potential litigation; retention of key executives; labor issues; uninsured and underinsured losses; vulnerability to rising energy costs; environmental, health and safety risks, foreign exchange exposure, risks associated with cross-border trade; difficulties in managing our growth; restrictive covenants under our credit facilities; natural catastrophes; the ongoing and developing COVID-19 pandemic; and tax risks.

The Company has based these forward-looking statements on factors and assumptions about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based upon assumptions that management believes are reasonable based on information currently available to management, there can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, that may cause the Company’s or the industry’s actual results, performance, achievements, prospects and opportunities in future periods to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the factors contained in the Company’s filings with securities regulators, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In particular, we caution you that our forward-looking statements are subject to the ongoing and developing circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and future financial results.

When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties and should not be read as guarantees of future results, performance, achievements, prospects and opportunities. The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

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 selling, general and administrative 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:

Pure Sunfarms Corp.

On June 6, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to form Pure Sunfarms, a B.C. corporation, with Emerald Health Therapeutics Inc. (“Emerald”). The purpose 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 loss as a result of its involvement with Pure Sunfarms as of June 30, 2020 relates primarily to the Company’s investment of $61,721 and the recovery of the outstanding loan to Pure Sunfarms of $10,661.

The Company is required to apply the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) 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 that 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.

DEBTPURE SUNFARMS ACQUISITION

At June 30,On November 2, 2020, the Company hadVillage Farms consummated a Term Loan financingdefinitive purchase and sale agreement with a Canadian creditorEmerald Health Therapeutics Inc. (“FCC Loan”Emerald”), acquiring 36,958,500 common shares in the capital of Pure Sunfarms owned by Emerald, and increasing Village Farms’ ownership of Pure Sunfarms to 100%. The non-revolving variable rate term loan hasshares were acquired for a maturity datetotal purchase price of April 1, 2025C$79.9 million (US$60.0 million), satisfied through an initial C$60.0 million (US$45.0 million) cash payment and a balance of $29,766 as of June 30, 2020. The outstanding balance is repayable by way of monthly installments of principal and interest, with the balance and any accrued interestC$19.9 million (US$15.0 million) secured promissory note that was payable to be paidEmerald, which promissory note was repaid in full on April 1, 2025. Effective August 1, 2020, monthly principal payments are reduced to $164 from $257. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, borrowings under the FCC Loan agreement were subject to an interest rate of 4.68% and 6.391%, respectively.February 8, 2021.

The Company’s subsidiary VFCEacquisition was a business combination and has been accounted for in accordance with the measurement and recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASC Topic 850”). ASC Topic 805 requires that the purchase consideration be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a loan agreement with a Canadian Chartered Bank that includes a non-revolving fixed rate loan of CA$3.0 million with a maturitybusiness combination based upon their estimated fair values at the date of June 2023acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated to the underlying assets acquired and fixed interest rateliabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of 4.98%. Asacquisition. The Company used information available to make fair value determinations and engaged independent valuation specialists to assist in the fair value determination of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019,acquired intangible assets. The estimated fair value of licenses was determined using a multi-period excess earnings method. This earnings-based method considers the balance was US$882 and US$1,066, respectively. The loan agreement also includes an uncommitted, non-revolving credit facility for up to CA$300 to cover Letters of Guarantee issued by the bank on behalf85 net present value of the Company, with a maximum term of 365 days, renewable annually. The loan agreement also includes an uncommitted credit facility for up to CA$700 to support financing of certain capital expenditures. The Company received an initial advance of CA$250 in October 2017. Each advance is to be repaid on a five-year, straight-line amortization of principal, repaid in monthly installments of principal plus interestlicenses’ cash flows discounted at an interestasset specific discount rate. The net present value attributable to the licenses deducts the contributory asset charges used in connection with the licenses. The estimated fair value of the brand was determined using the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes that the brand has value to the extent that their owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from them. This method requires the Company to estimate the future revenues for the related brand, the appropriate royalty rate, and an asset specific discount rate. This measure of CA$ prime rate plus 200 basis points. Asfair value requires considerable judgment about the value a market participant would be willing to pay to achieve the benefits associated with the brand. Acquired property, plant and equipment and software was valued using the replacement cost method, which requires the Company to estimate the costs to construct an asset of June 30, 2020,equivalent utility at prices available at the time of the valuation analysis, with adjustments in value for physical deterioration and December 31, 2019,functional and economic obsolescence.

The Company has a linethe consideration issued for the acquisition of credit agreement with a Canadian Chartered Bank (“Operating Loan”). The revolving Operating Loan has a line of credit up to CA$13,000, less outstanding letters of credit totaling US$150 and CA$38, and variable interest rates with a maturity date on May 31, 2021. The Operating Loan is subject to margin requirements stipulated by the bank. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the amount drawn on this facility was US$4,000 and US$2,000, respectively.

The Company’s borrowings (“Credit Facilities”) are subject to certain positive and negative covenants, including debt ratios,Pure Sunfarms and the fair value of all assets and liabilities acquired. The goodwill is attributable to the acquired workforce and potential for growth through the conversion of the Delta 1 greenhouse facility and future accretive acquisitions. The Company is required to maintain certain minimum working capital. In December 2019,record a deferred tax liability for the difference between the assigned values and the tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. As a result of the acquisition, the Company receivedalso recognized a waiver for its annual debt service coverage and debtgain of $23.6 million due to EBITDA covenants under its Term Loan.

Recent developments relatingUpdate Relating to the outbreakOutbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”)Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus a global pandemic. This outbreak continues to cause 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 and Canada have enacted temporary closures of businesses, issued quarantine or shelter-in-place orders, and taken other restrictive measures in response to COVID-19.

To date, all of our operations are operating normally, however, the extent to which COVID-19 and the related global economic crisis affect our 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. We continue to service our customers amid uncertainty and disruption linked to COVID-19 and we are actively managing our business to respond to the impact.

Recent Developments

Repayment of Emerald Promissory Note

On February 5, 2021, Village Farms repaid in full the Promissory Note of C$19,900 plus accrued interest of C$622 to Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc. (”Emerald”), that was issued in conjunction with the Purchase Agreement on September 8, 2020. The Company no longer owes any amounts to Emerald with respect to the Pure Sunfarms Transaction and the previously pledged 9,239,625 Common Shares of Pure Sunfarms have been released to the Company by the collateral agent.

The Company was added to the S&P/TSX Composite Index

Village Farms was added to the S&P/TSX Composite Index (Consumer Staples sector) prior to trading on March 22, 2021. The S&P/TSX Composite Index is the headline index for the Canadian equity market and is the broadest index in the S&P/TSX family. We believe that inclusion in the S&P/TSX Composite Index can potentially broaden participation in the Company's investor base by enabling investments from index funds and similar investment vehicles.

Exercise of Warrants

In the first quarter of 2021, warrants issued as part of the September 2020 registered direct offering were exercised, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $17,663 and the issuance of 3,045,283 additional Common Shares. There are 1,652,830 remaining warrants from the September 2020 registered direct offering as of the date of this filing.

Amendment of the Company’s Operating Loan

On May 7, 2021, Village Farms amended the Operating Loan terms to extend the credit agreement with an amended line of credit of C$10,000 and maturity date of May 7, 2024. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Operating Loan”.

Pure Sunfarms

During the first quarter of 2021, Pure Sunfarms continued seeking opportunities to increase its production, sales, brand awareness and global footprint. A few notable accomplishments include:

Pure Sunfarms unveiled its first cannabis-infused edible products, Pure Sunfarms Real Fruit Gummies, made using real fruit, containing only natural flavors and colors, and are pectin-based, clean label and vegan.

On March 15, 2021, Pure Sunfarms amended its existing bank syndicated loan facilities, extending the maturity date from February 2022 to February 2024. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Pure Sunfarms Loans”.

Village Farms Clean Energy

In November 2020, VFCE entered into a partnership with Mas Energy to convert the current landfill gas to electricity business into a state-of-the-art landfill gas to high-demand renewable natural gas facility. Mas Energy will design, build, finance, own and operate the Delta RNG Project. VFCE renewed and extended the existing contract with the City of Vancouver to capture the landfill gas at its Delta, B.C. site. The 20-year extension, with a five-year option, commences upon the start-up of the commercial operations of the Delta RNG Project. We anticipate that the conversion to the Delta RNG Project will begin mid-2021 with commercial operations to commence in mid-2022. We expect the project to capture the CO2 from the renewable natural gas production process and make it available to Village Farms for producing crops in its three Delta, B.C. vegetable and cannabis greenhouses. The reduction in natural gas requirements is expected to decrease the total carbon footprint of Village Farms.

International

On February 8, 2021, Village Farms exercised an option to increase its equity investment in Altum from 6.6% to just under 10%. On May 5, 2021, Village Farms exercised its remaining option to increase its equity investment in Altum to just under 12%. The investment in Altum, one of Asia-Pacific’s leading CBD platforms, represents a capital efficient means to participate in opportunities in this region.

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“Non-GAAP Measures” for a definition and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) 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 majority non-controlling interest in Pure Sunfarms (through November 1, 2020), and 65% interest in VFH.


JV Cannabis Business – Pure Sunfarms

Set forth below are the operatingWe caution that our results of PSF,operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 may not be indicative of our future performance, particularly in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

A discussion of our consolidated results, including our Produce Segment, is included further below.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Sales

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $9,386 and $24,244, respectively, a decrease of (61.3%). The decrease was a result of lower 2020 average selling price for the three months ended June 30, 2020 versus the three months ended June 30, 2019 at which time all of Pure Sunfarms’ sales were solely through the wholesale channel during a period of elevated market pricing.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, 56% of kilograms sold (flower) were to provincial boards, with the remaining 44% of kilograms sold (flower and trim) being through the wholesale channel, including nonmonetary transactions with extraction licensed producers in which Pure Sunfarms sold extraction grade dried flower and trim and purchased various forms of distillate from the same counterparties, which will be Pure Sunfarms in future cannabis 2.0 product launches.

The net average selling price for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was lower than the net average selling price for the three months ended March 31, 2020 by (48.6%).

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, Pure Sunfarms’ cost of sales included a $2,925 charge from the revaluation of its inventory to fair value at November 2, 2020 acquisition date.

Discussion of Financial Results

A discussion of our consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 increased 89% overis included below. The consolidated results include all three of our operating segments, which include produce, cannabis and energy, along with all public company expenses. Pure Sunfarms was acquired in its entirety on November 2, 2020; for the three months ended March 31, 2021, the operating results of Pure Sunfarms are consolidated in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), and for the three months ended March 31, 2020, Pure Sunfarms’ results are included in equity earnings from unconsolidated entities in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

We also present a discussion of the operating results of Pure Sunfarms, before any allocation to Village Farms, which were not consolidated in our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 but were consolidated in our results for the three months ended March 31, 2021. As a result of the Pure Sunfarms Acquisition, Pure Sunfarms recognized an increase in the fair value of its inventory on-hand on the acquisition date, resulting in a $2,925 charge to cost of sales to provincial boards in the first quarter of 2020. Wholesale kilograms sold decreased (39%)2021 and a $3,295


charge to cost of sales in the second quarter for 2020 versus the firstfourth quarter of 2020. Total kilogram volume sold2020 from the revaluation of its inventory to fair value. This is a non-cash accounting charge to cost of sales and should be adjusted for when analyzing the actual operational results of Pure Sunfarms.

Consolidated Results

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

Sales

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was consistent with the kilograms sold in the first quarter.

Net sales, and hence net average selling price, for three months ended June 30, 2020 was impacted by price adjustments, cash discounts and increased co-op allowances on small format and pre-roll SKUs in orderMarch 31, 2021 were $52,396 as compared to continue Pure Sunfarms market leading value priced SKUs, in part due to the success of the Pure Sunfarms large format SKUs. Additionally, an increase in the provision for returns was taken on various strains with a single provincial board that Pure Sunfarms has agreed to accept, and which Pure Sunfarms will utilize of its future cannabis 2.0 products.

Cost of Goods

Cost of goods sold$32,112 for the three months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2020. The increase in sales was primarily due to the inclusion of Pure Sunfarms’ Q1 2021 revenues of $17,460 and 2019 was $6,266 and $3,956, respectively, an increase of 58.4%. The total cost increase is driven by an increase in retailproduce supply partner sales of $4,139, partially offset by a decrease in our own produce sales of ($1,234) and VFCE power sales of ($81). The produce supply partner sales increase was due to higher volumes of pounds sold of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and mini-cucumbers. The decrease in our own produce sales was due to a period over period(24%) decrease in the average selling price of tomatoes in the three months ended March 31, 2021 versus March 31, 2020, partially offset by a 14% increase in grams sold.our own production volume. The all-in costprice decrease is the result of grams solda market supply overage caused by lower retailer demand along with an increase in Canadian tomato production from new acreage under light in 2021. The tomato produce industry is currently experiencing one of the lowest pricing environments for tomatoes-on-the-vine and beefsteak varieties in the second quarterpast ten years.

Cost of 2020 was $0.61 per gram (CA$0.84), versus $0.49 per gram (CA$0.65) in the second quarterSales

Cost of 2019. The higher cost in 2020 was primarily driven by additional packaging and logistics costs incurred for retail sales versus all sales were made to wholesale channel in 2019.

Costs per gram sold for the three months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 were lower than costs per gram sold in$50,089 as compared to $31,347 for the first quarter of 2020, by 5%, even with the significantthree months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in retailcost of sales quarter over quarter, which iswas primarily due to the addition of Pure Sunfarms’ Q1 2021 cost of sales of $15,248, an increase in produce supply partner costs of $3,282 and higher clean energy costs of $356, partially offset by a reflectiondecrease in our own production cost of sales of ($144). The Q1 2021 cost of sales for Pure Sunfarms includes a $2,925 charge from the revaluation of its inventory to fair value at acquisition date. The increase in produce supply partner cost of sales was driven by higher volumes of pounds sold and the increase in large format SKUsclean energy costs were driven by higher depreciation charges. The decrease in the product mixour own production costs was driven by lower cost per pound production at two of our Texas facilities and continued lowbetter utilization of our transportation and handling cost, of cultivation.primarily due to greenhouse management efficiency efforts.

Gross Margin

Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was 33.2% versus 83.7%March 31, 2021 increased $1,542 to $2,307, for a 4% gross margin (including the $2,925 charge from the revaluation of Pure Sunfarms’ inventory to fair value at acquisition date), in comparison to $765, for a 2% gross margin, for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The reduction wasMarch 31, 2020. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased $4,467 to $5,232, for a 10% gross margin (excluding the $2,925 charge from the revaluation of Pure Sunfarms’ inventory to fair value at acquisition date).

Non-GAAP Measures

References in this reportMD&A to “Adjusted EBITDA” are to earnings (including the equity in earnings of the Pure Sunfarms)Sunfarms and VFH) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), as further adjusted to exclude foreign currency exchange gains and losses on translation of long-term debt, unrealized gains on the changes in the value of derivative instruments, stockshare-based compensation, and gains and losses on asset sales and adjusts for the differenceother adjustments set forth in accounting treatment of Pure Sunfarms, which we believe is necessary to reflect the true economic value of our interest in Pure Sunfarms.table below. Adjusted EBITDA is a cash flow measure that is not recognized under GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Investors are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our performance or to cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities as measures of liquidity and cash flows. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure in evaluating the historical performance of the Company.

We also present Adjusted EBITDA, earnings per share and diluted earnings per share on a proportionate segment basis. Each of the components of Adjusted EBITDA, on a proportionate segment basis (which include our proportionate share of the Pure Sunfarms and VF HempVFH operations), are presented in the table Reconciliation of GAAP to Proportionate Results below. We believe that the ability of investors to assess our overall performance may be improved by the disclosure of proportionate segment Adjusted EBITDA, earnings per share and diluted earnings per share, given that our joint ventures represent a significant percentage of our net income.

The GAAP treatment(1)

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, Pure Sunfarms is fully consolidated in the financial results of the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, our equity earningshare of Pure Sunfarms earnings is different than under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Under GAAP the Emerald shares heldreflected in escrow are not considered issued until paid for pursuant to the GAAP concept of ‘hypothetical liquidation’. As a result, our ownership percentage for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was 61.4% and 60.8%, respectively, compared to our economic interest under IFRS of 50% for the same periods.equity earnings from unconsolidated entities.

(2)

The purchase price adjustment reflects the non-cash accounting charge to cost of sales resulting from the revaluation of Pure Sunfarms’ inventory to fair value at the acquisition date.

(3)

See “Results of Operations – Consolidated Results – Gain on Settlement Agreement” above.

(4)

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.

Notes:

 

(1)

(1)

The adjusted consolidated financial results have been adjusted to include our share of sales and expenses from Pure Sunfarms and HempVFH 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 additional non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted EBITDA.

The adjusted results are not generally accepted measures of financial performance under GAAP. Our method of calculating these financial performance measures may differ from other companies and accordingly, they may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.

 

(2)

(2)

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 majority non-controlling interest Pure Sunfarms (through November 1, 2020), and our 65% interest in VF Hemp.VFH.


New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to debt instruments, derivatives, and other contracts that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. This guidance is optional and may be elected through December 2019,31, 2022 using a prospective application on all eligible contract modifications. The Company has a line of credit that incorporates LIBOR as a referenced interest rate. It is difficult to predict what effect, if any, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifyingphase-out of LIBOR and the Accounting for Income Taxes.” ASU 2019-12 simplifiesuse of alternative benchmarks may have on the accounting for income taxes by removingCompany’s business or on the overall financial markets. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions withinthrough March 31, 2021 but will continue to evaluate 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 effectpossible adoption of any enacted changes in tax lawssuch expedients 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. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.exceptions.

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 Form 10-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.


Item 3.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its long-term debt, for which the interest rates charged fluctuate based on the 90-day LIBOR rate. If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher (lower), the net income duringfor the periodsthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 would have been lowerhigher (lower) by $40$81 and $43,$40, respectively. This represents $40$81 and $43$40 in increased (decreased) interest expense for the periodsthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, 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 June 30,March 31, 2021, and 2020, and 2019, the Canadian/U.S. foreign exchange rate was C$1.00 = US$0.73300.7941 and C$1.00 = US$0.7636,0.7056, respectively. Assuming that 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 June 30,March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019 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 Form 10-K.

Item 4.
