3 | NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
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 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 phase-out of LIBOR and the use of alternative benchmarks may have on the Company’s business or on the overall financial markets. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions through June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions.

The acquisition wasthe Acquisition, have remained in their current roles with Rose post-Acquisition and have retained a business combination and has been accounted fornon-voting 30% interest in accordanceRose (the “Retained Interest”). In conjunction with the measurementAcquisition, Village Farms and recognition provisionsthe Management Shareholders have entered into a unanimous shareholders agreement (the “USA”) providing Village Farms with a call option to acquire the Retained Interest between December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 or upon the occurrence of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”certain liquidity events with respect to Village Farms (the “Call Option”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASC Topic 850”). ASC Topic 805 requires thatAs part of the purchase consideration be allocatedCall Option, Village Farms can also acquire 34% of the Retained Interest between December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023. A put right has also been granted to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price has been allocatedManagement Shareholders to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The Company used information availablerequire Village Farms to make fair value determinations and engaged independent valuation specialists to assist in the fair value determination of acquired intangible assets. The estimated fair value of licenses was determined using a multi-period excess earnings method. This earnings-based method considers the 85 net present value of the licenses’ cash flows discounted at an asset 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 fair 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 were valued using the replacement cost method, which requires the Company to estimate the costs to construct an asset of equivalent utility at prices available at the time of the valuation analysis, with adjustments in value for physical deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence. Uponcomplete the acquisition of Pure Sunfarms, the Company identified goodwillRetained Interest upon their death or disability or the occurrence of C$30,618 (US$24,698)certain liquidity events with respect to Village Farms (the “Put Option”, and together with the Call Option, the “Put/Call Option”). This goodwillThe price for the Put/Call Option was calculated as the difference between the fair valueset at a multiple solely based on Rose’s adjusted EBITDA performance of the consideration issued for the acquisition of 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 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 also recognized a gain of $23.6 million due to the revaluation of its previously held investment in Pure Sunfarms to its fair value at the acquisition date. The initial accounting for the business combination was considered complete for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The following table shows the allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on estimates of fair value, including a summary of the identifiable classes of consideration transferred, and amounts by category of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

Prior to its acquisition on November 2, 2020, the Company accounted for its investment in Pure Sunfarms, in accordance with ASC Topic 323, Equity Method and Joint Ventures (“ASC Topic 323”), using the equity method. The Company determined that Pure Sunfarms was a variable interest entity (“VIE”), however the Company did not consolidate Pure Sunfarms because the Company was not the primary beneficiary. Although the Company was able to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Pure Sunfarms through its then 58.7% majority interest, the Company shared joint control of the board of directors and therefore was not the primary beneficiary. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s equity earnings from Pure Sunfarms were $463 and $3,994, respectively.
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 C$6.5 million (US$4.7 million). The Company recorded this amount as a gain and included it as a gain on settlement agreement on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

$34,548 and a redeemable NCI classified as temporary mezzanine equity of $16,479. The goodwill has been allocated to the Canadian Cannabis reporting segment. The Company expects to recognize intangible assets but is still in the process of identifying and valuing them as well as the fair value of the Put Option identified and classified as redeemable non-controlling interest. The Company expects the accounting for the business combination to be complete by June 30, 2022.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Village Farms International, Inc. (“VFF”), (togethertogether with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “Village Farms”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is one ofa corporation existing under the largest and longest-operating vertically integrated greenhouse growers in North America. Following our acquisition of the remaining 41.3% interest in British Columbia-basedCanada Business Corporations Act. The Company’s principal operating subsidiaries are Village Farms Canada LP, Village Farms LP, VF Clean Energy, Inc. (“VFCE”), Pure Sunfarms Corp.Corp (“Pure Sunfarms” or “PSF”) that was completed, Balanced Health Botanicals, LLC (“Balanced Health” or “BHB”) and Rose LifeScience Inc. “(Rose LifeScience” or “Rose”). Village Farms acquired 70% ownership of privately-held, Quebec-based Rose LifeScience on November 2, 2020 (the “Pure15, 2021 and acquired 100% interest in privately held Colorado-based Balanced Health on August 16, 2021.
The Company’s overall strategy is to be recognized as an international leader in consumer products 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 (primarily tomatoes) across other plant-based opportunities. In Canada, we converted two produce facilities to grow cannabis for the Canadian adult use market. Our focus for our Canadian cannabis segment is to produce the highest quality cannabis products at an “everyday premium price”. This market position, together with our cultivation expertise, has enabled us to evolve into one of the few consistently profitable Canadian licensed producers (“LPs”) under our Pure Sunfarms Acquisition”subsidiary.
Additionally, through organic growth, acquisitions and/or exports, we plan to participate in other international markets where cannabis attains legal status. In March 2022, Pure Sunfarms received European Union Good Manufacturing Practice (“EU GMP”) certification for its 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. We expect international expansion should enhance our profitability while expanding our brand and experience into emerging new legal cannabis markets.
Within the U.S., we whollyacquired Balanced Health, an industry-leading cannabinoid business which extends our portfolio into cannabidiol (“CBD”) consumer products. We also operate a large, well-established produce business under the Village Farms Fresh (“VF Fresh”) brand which sells into food and mass retail stores. We own and operate produce cultivation assets in both B.C. and Texas and source produce from our growing partners, predominantly in Mexico. Our intention is to use our assets, expertise and experience (across cannabis, CBD and produce) to participate in the U.S. cannabis market when legally permitted to do so.

Our Response to the Ongoing Coronavirus 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 ofSeveral 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 inmeasures. In response to COVID-19. To date,the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company implemented safety protocols and procedures to protect its employees, its subcontractors, and its customers. These protocols take into consideration guidance from state and local government agencies as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other public health authorities.
As of May 9, 2022, all of ourthe Company’s operations are operating normally, however, the extent to which COVID-19 and the related global economic crisis affect ourthe 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. We continueVillage Farms continues to service ourits customers amid uncertainty and disruption linked to COVID-19 and we areis actively managing ourits business to respond to the impact.
Update RelatingImpact of Inflation and the Russia/Ukraine Conflict
Our business has been affected, and we expect will continue to be affected for the Texas Winter Stormforeseeable future, by rising inflation and supply chain issues arising from COVID-19, and indirectly, the Russia/Ukraine conflict may impact the price of February 2021
From February 13-17, 2021, a major winteroil and ice storm with extremely cold temperatures impacted parts of the United States and Canada and in particular Texas. The unprecedented winter storm caused electricity demand in Texas to increase dramatically as Texas facilities were not built for such climate conditions. The storm caused major problems with sources of electricity, due to frozen wind turbines, natural gas production losses,which may negatively affect our operating results. Inflation has affected and power generator outages, leadingcontinues to a short-term situation in which demand vastly exceededaffect, amongst other items, supply within the Texas power grid, which is not connected to the larger U.S. power grid. The loss of fuel supplychain and power generating capacity forced the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (“ERCOT”), the nonprofit grid operator, to declare an Energy Emergency Alert Level 3 and begin rotating power outages. Throughout the 5-day emergency period, the real-time price for electricity elevated to the maximum allowable price of $9,000 per MWh, which is more than 100 times higher than the prices observed in early February 2021 and historical February pricing.
The impact on Texas from the winter storm and rolling blackouts led to a number of deaths and billions of dollars in damages, making the weather event one of the costliest in Texas history. Since Texas has a deregulated electricity market, all customers from large industrial companies to residential customers purchase their electricity from third-party power suppliers, at the prevailing market price, which fluctuates by the hour. The Texas legislature was analyzing this event to determine necessary changes to the current structure of its power gridlabor costs as well as the oversight provided by the Public Utility Commissionpurchasing decisions of Texas and ERCOT, but no measures were passed by the Texas legislature to address the astronomical rate increases for the 2021 freeze, nor to implement measures or regulations to address the demand/supply situation, should such an event reoccur.
Our Texas operations, including the four greenhouses and distribution center, use a small amount of power to run its operational systems, but due to the more than 100 times increase in rates, we were financially impacted by the winter storm. The Company incurred an incremental electricity expense in Q2 2021 for the February 5-day period of $1,400, solely due to the significant temporary increase in electricity pricing. The freeze itself had noconsumers which may impact on our operations, nor our use of electricity. Due to the overall impact on many Texas businesses, utility companies and retail customers had expectations that the Texas legislature would address the incremental costs to users. Due to this expectation of legislative involvement, the electricity invoices that included the activity of February 13-17 were not sent until late May when it became evident that the Texas legislature was not going to address the issue. As such, the Company received its initial invoices for the freeze period in late May and after reviews, audits of all facility meters and material invoice corrections with the power companies, the invoices were finalized and paid in June 2021.
Our Texas operations are designed with back-up and redundant systems to handle temporary systems or weather events. Our facilities have back-up diesel generators that can run our heating systems. We hold two to three days of diesel to run the back-up generators, but due to the effect of the freeze and resulting Texas highway closures, additional diesel supply was unavailable and could not be transported to our Texas sites, so we could not take the Texas facilities off the grid to avoid a potential price surge. Our decision not to utilize our back-up systems was due to the rotating power outages and the risk of running out of dieseldemand for our back-up systems, whichproducts. See Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, in turn would have led to the loss of the crops in all four greenhouses.
In order to mitigate future price instability, in winter months, the Company has initiated fixed contracts for a significant portion of its anticipated electricity requirements at all our Texas facilities to mitigate future surcharges. In addition, the Company is reassessing its back-up systems to ensure that the greenhouses have enough capacity to produce the required electrical output if an outage occurs again in the future.

The project is designed to generate renewable natural gas and CO2 from the methane gas created at the nearby landfill. Village Farms plans to utilize the CO2 from the renewable natural gas production process for use in our three Delta, B.C. vegetable and cannabis greenhouse facilities, thereby reducing natural gas requirements and decreasing the total carbon footprint of Village Farms. Mas Energy intends to sell the renewable natural gas and VFCE will receive a portion of the revenues in the form of a royalty. When announced in November 2020, we anticipated attaining all regulatory approvals in the first half of 2021 with an expected operational start up as early as the first half of 2022.

We caution that our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 may not be indicative of our future performance, particularly in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We are currently unable to assess the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and our results of operations for future periods.
Discussion of Financial Results
A discussion of our consolidated results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is included below. The consolidated results include all three of our operating segments, which include produce, cannabis and clean energy, along with all public company expenses. The remaining 41.3% interest in Pure Sunfarms was acquired by Village Farms on November 2, 2020; for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the operating results of Pure Sunfarms are consolidated in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, Pure Sunfarms’ results are included in equity earnings from unconsolidated entities in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
Under “Cannabis Segment Results”, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2020 but were consolidated in our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 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 ($133) charge to cost of sales in the second quarter of 2021 and a ($2,925) charge to cost of sales in the first quarter of 2021 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 June 30, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
Sales
Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $70,374 as compared to $47,573 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in sales was primarily due to the inclusion of Pure Sunfarms’ Q2 2021 revenues of $24,761 and an increase in produce supply partner sales of $1,867, partially offset by a decrease in our own produce sales of ($3,676) and VFCE power sales of ($151). 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 (42%) decrease in the average selling price of tomatoes in the three months ended June 30, 2021 versus June 30, 2020, partially offset by a 33% increase in our own production volume. The price decrease is the result of a market supply overage caused by lower retailer demand along with an increase in Canadian and U.S. tomato production. The tomato produce industry experienced one of the lowest pricing environments for tomatoes-on-the-vine and beefsteak varieties in the past ten years through late Q2 2021 with signs of pricing moving back into historical ranges towards the end of Q2 2021.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $65,109 as compared to $44,044 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the addition of Pure Sunfarms’ Q2 2021 cost of sales of $14,941, an increase in our produce costs of $4,286, higher produce supply partner costs of $1,319 and an increase in clean energy costs of $519. The Q2 2021 cost of sales for Pure Sunfarms includes a $133 charge from the revaluation of its inventory to fair value at acquisition date and our produce costs include the $1,400 incremental utility charges associated with the Texas freeze of February 2021 that was settled and paid in Q2 2021. The increase in our own production costs was driven by the increase in volume as the Texas facilities improved production cost per pound in Q2 2021 through better utilization of our labor, transportation and handling cost, primarily due to greenhouse management efficiency efforts. The increase in produce supply partner cost of sales was driven by higher volumes of pounds sold and the increase in clean energy costs were driven by higher depreciation charges as the depreciable life of VFCE assets have been accelerated due to the upcoming transition of operations to the Delta RNG Project expected to become operational in the fall of 2022.
Gross Margin
Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $1,736 to $5,265, or a 7% gross margin, in comparison to $3,529, or a 7% gross margin, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Excluding the $133 charge from the revaluation of Pure Sunfarms’ inventory to fair value at acquisition date and $1,400 from the incremental Texas freeze utility expenses, gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $3,269 to $6,798, or a 10% gross margin. The positive variance between periods is primarily attributable to Pure Sunfarms’ Q2 2021 gross margin of $9,820 and higher produce supply partner gross margin of $548, partially offset by lower gross margin from our produce operations of ($7,962) and clean energy of ($670).
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $5,212 to $9,025 compared to $3,813 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of Pure Sunfarms’ expenses of $4,370, higher produce related legal fees and an increase in corporate expenses, primarily related to public company costs such as investor relations, legal and regulatory fees and incremental costs of U.S. reporting compliance.
Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $1,887 as compared to $328 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in share-based compensation was primarily due to the vesting of performance shares earned by key corporate and operations employees in Q2 2021 as compared to Q2 2020 and the cost of stock options for Pure Sunfarms’ management of $191 in Q2 2021 versus nil in Q2 2020.
Recovery of (Provision for) Income Taxes
Income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was a recovery of $1,781 compared to a provision for ($69) for the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, our effective tax rate, including both current and deferred income taxes, was (28.6%) and 17.3%, respectively. The equity losses for our unconsolidated entity, VFH, is reported post-tax and therefore does not affect our tax calculation.
Equity (Losses) Earnings from Unconsolidated Entities
Our share of losses from our joint ventures for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was ($86) compared to earnings of $350 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The Q2 2021 equity loss includes only our proportionate share of the losses of VFH compared to Q2 2020 which includes our proportionate share of the earnings of Pure Sunfarms and VFH. Our share of income from
Pure Sunfarms was presented in equity earnings from unconsolidated entities for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Village Farms began fully consolidating operating results of Pure Sunfarms on November 2, 2020 and its results are presented in the Company’s consolidated operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2021. For information regarding the results of operations from our joint ventures, see “Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Results to Proportionate Results” below.
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was ($4,517) as compared to ($119) for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net loss was primarily due to a lower gross margin from our produce operations and higher corporate share-based compensation, partially offset by an improved operating profit for Pure Sunfarms in the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to June 30, 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $1,547 compared to $2,268 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower operating results of the produce business, partially offset by the improvement in operating profit for Pure Sunfarms. See the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income in “Non-GAAP Measures—Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Adjusted EBITDA”.
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
The foreign currency translation adjustment for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $2,366 compared to $55 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Village Farms’ functional currency is the U.S. dollar while Pure Sunfarms’ functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The 2021 currency translation adjustment is due to the Canadian dollar strengthening versus the U.S. dollar during the second quarter of 2021, as Pure Sunfarms has more Canadian dollar assets than Canadian dollar liabilities on its balance sheet, resulting in a gain on its functional currency when converted on its balance sheet to U.S. dollars.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Sales
Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $122,770 as compared to $79,685 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in sales was primarily due to the inclusion of Pure Sunfarms’ 2021 revenues of $42,221 and an increase in produce supply partner sales of $6,005, partially offset by a decrease in our own produce sales of ($4,909) and VFCE power sales of ($232). The produce supply partner sales increase was due to higher volumes of pounds sold of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and mini-cucumbers, partially offset by lower price per pound for tomatoes and peppers. The decrease in our own produce sales was due to a (30%) decrease in the average selling price of tomatoes in the six months ended June 30, 2021 versus June 30, 2020, partially offset by a 23% increase in our own production volume despite the ongoing virus pressure, primarily from the tomato brown rugose fruit virus, at all of the Texas facilities. The commodity price decrease is the result of a market supply overage caused by an increase in Canadian winter production and a change in retailer buying habits to more specialty tomatoes. The tomato produce industry experienced one of the lowest pricing environments for tomatoes-on-the-vine and beefsteak varieties in the past ten years through late Q2 2021 with signs of pricing moving back into historical ranges towards the end of Q2 2021.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $115,198 as compared to $75,391 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the addition of Pure Sunfarms’ 2021 cost of sales of $30,189, higher produce supply partner costs of $4,600, an increase in our produce costs of $4,143 and higher clean energy costs of $875. The 2021 cost of sales for Pure Sunfarms includes a $3,108 charge from the revaluation of its inventory to fair value at acquisition date and our produce costs include incremental utility charges of $1,400 associated with the Texas freeze of February 2021. The increase in our own production costs was driven by the 23% increase in production volume in the first six months of 2021 versus the first six months of 2020. The increase in produce supply partner cost of sales was driven by higher volumes of pounds sold and the increase in clean energy costs were driven by higher depreciation charges as the depreciable life of VFCE assets have been accelerated due to the upcoming transition of operations to the Delta RNG Project expected to become operational in the fall of 2022.
Gross Margin
Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $3,278 to $7,572, or a 6% gross margin, in comparison to $4,294, or a 5% gross margin, for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Excluding the $3,108 charge from the revaluation of Pure Sunfarms’ inventory to fair value at acquisition date and $1,400 from the incremental Texas freeze utility expenses, gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $7,786 to $12,080, or a 10% gross margin. The positive variance between periods is primarily attributable to Pure Sunfarms’ 2021 gross margin of $12,032 and higher produce supply partner gross margin of $1,405, partially offset by lower gross margin from our produce operations of ($9,052) and clean energy of ($1,107).
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $9,383 to $17,117 compared to $7,734 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of Pure Sunfarms’ expenses of $8,336, higher produce related legal fees and an increase in corporate expenses, primarily related to public company costs such as investor relations, legal and regulatory fees, listing fees for the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), the January 2021 equity raise and incremental costs of U.S. reporting compliance.
Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $3,885 as compared to $857 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in share-based compensation was primarily due to the vesting of performance share grants and stock options for Pure Sunfarms’ management of $1,285 in 2021 versus nil in 2020 as well as the vesting of performance shares earned by corporate and operations employees in 2021 as compared to 2020.
Gain on Settlement Agreement
On March 2, 2020, pursuant to the settlement agreement between the Company, Pure Sunfarms and Emerald (“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 $4,681 (C$6,500). The Company recorded this amount as a gain on non-monetary exchange on the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Recovery of Income Taxes
Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was a recovery of $3,620 compared to a recovery of $943 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, our effective tax rate, including both current and deferred income taxes, was (23.6%) and (209.1%), respectively. The equity losses for our unconsolidated entity, VFH, is reported post-tax and therefore does not affect our tax calculation.
Equity (Losses) Earnings from Unconsolidated Entities
Our share of losses from our joint ventures for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was ($213) compared to earnings of $3,579 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The 2021 equity loss includes only our proportionate share of the losses of VFH compared to 2020 which includes Pure Sunfarms and VFH. Our share of income from Pure Sunfarms was presented in equity earnings from unconsolidated entities for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Village Farms began fully consolidating operating results of Pure Sunfarms on November 2, 2020 and its results are presented in the Company’s consolidated operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2021. For information regarding the results of operations from our joint ventures, see “Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Results to Proportionate Results” below.
Net (Loss) Income
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was ($11,899) as compared to net income of $4,071 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in net income in the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to June 30, 2020 was primarily due to lower operating profit of the produce operations, higher corporate expenses and accelerating the depreciable life of the clean energy assets due to the upcoming transition of operations to the Delta RNG Project expected to become operational in the fall of 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $1,951 compared to $3,364 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower operating results from our produce business, partially offset by the improvement in operating profit for Pure Sunfarms. See the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income in “Non-GAAP Measures—Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Adjusted EBITDA”.
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
The foreign currency translation adjustment for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $4,077 compared to ($72) for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Village Farms’ functional currency is the U.S. dollar while Pure Sunfarms’ functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The 2021 currency translation adjustment is due to the Canadian dollar strengthening versus the U.S. dollar during the first six months of 2021, as Pure Sunfarms has more Canadian dollar assets than Canadian dollar liabilities on its balance sheet, resulting in a gain on its functional currency when converted on its balance sheet to U.S. dollars.

We caution that our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 may not be indicative of our future performance, particularly in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We are currently unable to assess the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and our results of operations for future periods.
Discussion of Financial Results
A discussion of our consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 is included below. The consolidated results include all four of our operating segments, VF Fresh (produce), Canadian cannabis, U.S. cannabis and clean energy, along with all public company expenses. Village Farms acquired 100% of Balanced Health on August 16, 2021 and their operating results are consolidated in our Consolidated Statements of Loss for January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2022. The Company acquired 70% of Rose LifeScience on November 15, 2021 and their operating results are consolidated in our Consolidated Statements of Loss and the minority interest is presented in Net Loss Attributable to Non-controlling Interests, Net of Tax for January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2022. For a discussion of our segmented results, please see “Segmented Results of Operations” below.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Sales
Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $70,156 as compared to $52,396 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in sales of $17,760 or 34% was attributable to revenue growth in our key operating segments: VF Fresh, Canadian cannabis and U.S. cannabis. VF Fresh’s sales increased $6,566, Canadian cannabis increased $4,309 and U.S. cannabis increased $7,043 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The acquisitions of Balanced Health and Rose contributed $7,043 and $3,608, respectively, to the quarter-over-quarter revenue growth while the remaining $7,109 was derived from organic growth of VF Fresh and Pure Sunfarms.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $60,252 as compared to $50,089 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in cost of sales of ($10,163) or (20%) was primarily derived from an increase in VF Fresh cost of sales of ($11,454) and an increase in U.S. cannabis cost of sales of ($2,331), partially offset by a decrease in Canadian cannabis cost of sales of $2,989 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Gross Margin
Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased $7,597 to $9,904, for a 14% gross margin, in comparison to $2,307, for a 4% gross margin, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Statutory gross margin by segment for Q1 2022 was (10%) for VF Fresh, 44% for Canadian cannabis and 67% for U.S. cannabis as compared to 2% for VF Fresh and 13% for Canadian cannabis in Q1 2021.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased $8,879 to $16,971 or 24% of sales compared to $8,092 or 15% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the acquisition of Balanced Health and Rose LifeScience and inclusion of their expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2022. In addition, corporate expenses increased $1,027 due to Q1 2022 costs associated with the start-up of Leli and our development team, and an increase in audit, regulatory and compliance fees in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $964 as compared to $1,998 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in share-based compensation was primarily due to the vesting of performance share grants for Canadian cannabis management and corporate management in Q1 2021 associated with attained milestones and conditions met associated with the Company’s acquisition of the remaining 41.3% of Pure Sunfarms on November 2, 2020.
Net Loss Attributable to Village Farms International Inc.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was ($6,517) as compared to a net loss of ($7,382) for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The improvement in net loss was due to positive net income contribution from the Canadian cannabis and U.S. cannabis segments in 2022, offset by an increase in net loss from VF Fresh for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was ($6,111) compared to $404 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower operating results of VF Fresh. See the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income in “Non-GAAP Measures—Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Adjusted EBITDA”.

Cannabis Segment ResultsPRODUCE SEGMENT RESULTS – Pure SunfarmsVF FRESH
Pure Sunfarms’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 Pure SunfarmsVillage Farms LP and Village Farms Canada LP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2020, not accounting for the percentage owned by Village Farms. See “Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Results to Proportionate Results” for a presentation of Pure Sunfarms’ proportionate results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.2021.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Sales
VF Fresh sales for three months ended March 31, 2022 were $41,349 as compared to $34,867 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in sales of $6,482 or 19% was due to increases in our own produce revenues of $3,472 and our grower partner revenues of $3,010. The increase in our own produce revenues was primarily due to an increase in tomato volume of 19% while the selling price of our own tomatoes was relatively flat due to a change in sales mix to a greater percentage of higher priced specialty tomatoes. The increase in grower partner revenues was primarily due to higher volumes of pounds sold of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and mini-cucumbers, partially offset by decreases in tomato prices of (2%), pepper prices of (25%), cucumber prices of (7%) and mini-cucumber prices of (29%) in Q1 2022 as compared to Q1 2021.
Cost of Sales
VF Fresh cost of sales for three months ended March 31, 2022 were $45,520 as compared to $34,150 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Cost of sales increased ($11,370) or (33%) due to increases in our own produce cost of sales of ($7,054) and our grower partner cost of sales of ($4,316). The increase in our own produce cost of sales was driven by the 19% increase in tomato volume at our Texas greenhouses as well as an increase in the sales mix for specialty tomatoes which require higher costs for cultivation and packaging. The increase in volume and an incremental increase in freight costs of approximately ($1,803) drove higher transportation and handling costs of produce in Q1 2022 as compared to Q1 2021. In addition, in Q1 2022, we incurred an incremental catch up to our cost of sales of $1,779 on our Texas crop cycle that began in summer/fall 2021 and ends in late Q2 2022 due to an expected lower total crop volume and higher cost of production for the growing cycle due to ongoing disease pressure and supply chain cost increases, effectively increasing our production price per pound for our Texas tomato crop. The increase in grower partner cost of sales was driven by an increase in purchased production from our grower partners as well as fixed contract pricing on some of our grower partner tomato varieties. Our facility management has implemented changes to increase crop yield and reduce cost per pound, however our efforts could not mitigate the increases in supply chain costs and incremental freight experienced in Q1 2022.
Gross Margin
The gross margin for VF Fresh was ($4,171) for three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $717 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Gross margin in the first quarter of 2022 has been greatly affected by the higher cost of sales, which was attributable to additional freight per pound, a revised production forecast and higher cultivation costs in our Texas facilities and lower grower partner gross margin of ($1,306). The higher freight per pound was mostly due to increases in fuel prices and trucker shortages which could not be passed on to our customers.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
VF Fresh selling, general and administrative expenses for three months ended March 31, 2022 were $3,140 or 8% of sales as compared to $2,551 or 7% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The quarter-over-quarter increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to legal fees.
Net Loss
VF Fresh’s net loss for three months ended March 31, 2022 was ($5,626) as compared to ($1,585) for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in net loss for the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the first quarter of 2021 was primarily due to the lower gross margin and higher selling, general and administrative expenses incurred in 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA
The Adjusted EBITDA for VF Fresh was ($6,201) for three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to ($492) for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The lower Adjusted EBITDA was due to a decrease in operating margin of ($5,477) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.
CANNABIS SEGMENT RESULTS - CANADA
The Canadian cannabis segment currently consists of Pure Sunfarms and Rose LifeScience. The comparative analysis for Canadian cannabis is based on the consolidated results of Pure Sunfarms and Rose LifeScience for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the results of Pure Sunfarms for March 31, 2021. The Company acquired 70% of Rose LifeScience on November 15, 2021 and as such the operating results of Rose LifeScience from January 1, 2022 to March 31, 2022 are consolidated in our results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 with the minority interest presented in Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Non-controlling Interests, Net of Tax.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Pure Sunfarms’Sales
Canadian cannabis net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 were $24,761$21,769 as compared to $17,460 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The sequentialperiod-over-period net sales increase of $4,309 or 25% includes $3,609 in Q1 2022 net sales from Rose. The increase between comparable quarters was compriseddriven by a 79% increase in non-branded sales and an 8% increase in branded sales. The 79% increase in non-branded sales was due primarily to the continued development and strengthening of a 22%relationships with other key LPs that are purchasing high potency, high-quality flower and trim made available as Pure Sunfarms expanded its cultivation footprint. The 8% increase in branded sales was attained through the addition of Rose branded sales in Q122, partially offset by a (10%) decline in Pure Sunfarms branded sales driven by selective price decreases on slower moving flower and a 121% increase in non-branded sales.cannabis derivative products. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, 66%March 31, 2022, 67% of revenue was generated from branded flower, andinclusive of pre-rolls, and 8% of revenue from branded oils, ediblescannabis derivative products and vapes (“Cannabis Derivate Products”)25% from non-branded sales as compared to 71% of revenue from branded flower, inclusive of pre-rolls, 13% from cannabis derivative products and pre-rolls and 13% of revenue16% from Cannabis Derivative Productsnon-branded sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, non-branded sales represented 26% of revenues compared to 16% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in branded sales between sequential periods was largely attributable to increased production of high-potency flower and trim released in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, many provinces began their COVID-19 re-opening plans as COVID-19 pressures began subsiding and capacity restrictions decreased, particularly in Ontario, which helped spur demand in the latter half of Q2 2021. Similarly, the increase in non-branded sales was largely attributable to the availability of high-potency flower and trim to meet demand from other licensed producers (“LPs”) in the wholesale market.
Cost of Sales

As a result of the Pure Sunfarms Acquisition, Pure Sunfarms recognized an increase in the fair value of its inventory on the acquisition date, resulting in a ($133) charge toThe period-over-period net cost of sales decrease of $2,989 or 20% includes $2,388 in the second quarter of 2021 and a ($2,925) charge toQ1 2022 cost of sales infrom Rose. In addition, the first quarterQ2 2022 cost of sales for Pure Sunfarms includes a positive adjustment of $2,050 and the Q1 2021 cost of sales for Pure Sunfarms includes a ($2,778) charge from the revaluation of its inventory to fair value. This is a non-cash accounting charge tovalue at acquisition date of November 2, 2020. The cost of sales decrease is partly attributable to ongoing improvements in yields, potency and should be adjusted for when analyzing the actual operational resultsgrowing practices as well as a higher proportion of Pure Sunfarms. The decrease in cost ofnon-branded sales between thecomparable periods, was driven by theas non-branded products require lower charge from the revaluation of inventory to fair value at acquisition date. In addition, cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased from 71% to 60% for the sequential quarter as our cost of production decreased due to increased yields in cultivation.manufacturing, packaging and distribution costs.

Asnear future, however, as noted in “Recent Developments and Updates – International Update”, we entered into an option agreement to receive the irrevocable right to acquire 80% ownership of June 30, 2021, Pure Sunfarms hadLeli. This potential investment is being evaluated by the Company and may require a service agreement with an unrelated party. Inmaterial contractual obligation in the event Pure Sunfarms terminatesthat we exercise the agreement, Pure Sunfarms would be requiredOption.
In addition, we currently have material long-term debt and lines of credit that we rely on to paymeet financing needs of the counterparty a C$1,000 termination fee. This is considered a commitment.Company. The long-term debt and lines of credit have interest rate terms whereas the possibility of rising interest rates may impact the cost of capital for the Company. See “Item 7A – Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk – Interest Rate Risk” below for additional information.
Non-GAAP Measures
References in this MD&A to “Adjusted EBITDA” are to earnings (including the equity earnings of Pure Sunfarms andthe joint venture, 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, share-based compensation, gains and losses on asset sales and the other adjustments set forth in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA is a cash flow measure of operating performance 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.performance. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure in evaluating the historical performance of the Company.Company because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect our business performance.
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 VFH 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.

NewRecent 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 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 phase-out of LIBOR and the use of alternative benchmarks may have on the Company’s business or on the overall financial markets. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions through June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or 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 for the year ended December 31, 20202021 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.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. 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 phase-out of LIBOR and the use of alternative benchmarks may have on the Company’s business or on the overall financial markets. If interest rates had been 50fifty basis points higher, (lower), the net income during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 would have been lower by $76 and $81, respectively. This represents $76 and $81 in increased interest expense for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020 would have been higher (lower) by $81 and $40, respectively and net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 would have been higher (lower) by $161 and $80, respectively. These net income effects represent increased (decreased) interest expense for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, the Canadian/U.S. foreign exchange rate was C$1.00 = US$0.80660.7995 and C$1.00 = US$0.7330,0.7941, 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, 2022 and 2021 and June 30, 2020 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 to our market risks from those disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure 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.
The Company’sAs required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and PrincipalChief Financial and Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosureour disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that,procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report the Company’son Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2022, 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, 2021.
Material Weakness in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
As of December 31, 2021, 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, 2021, 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 one of its debt covenants. The Company’s controls related to the review of debt covenant calculations failed to identify a violation of a debt covenant as at December 31, 2021 in a timely manner. The lender subsequently waived the debt covenant prior to filing and therefore there was no impact on the Company’s December 31, 2021 financial statements.
Remediation Plan and Status
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company implemented remediation measures improving the review of the calculation of its debt covenants by applying additional independent review of the calculations. In addition, the Company is working with its lender group to modify and synchronize its loan covenants such that definitions of loan covenants are aligned going forward to avoid conflicting covenants between the Company and one of its subsidiaries. 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 the end of the second quarter of 2022.
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 theour fiscal quarter ended June 30,December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
From time to time the Company is engaged in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe any current legal proceedings are material to our business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business, operations, and financial condition are subject to various risks and uncertainties. The risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, as filed with the SEC on March 15, 20211, 2022 and amended on March 18, 2021,14, 2022, should be carefully considered, together with the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings filed with the SEC in connection with evaluating us, our business, and the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021, except as described below.
Inflation may continue to rise and increase our operating costs.
For the year ended March 2022, the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics reported that inflation increased 8.5 percent as against prices from March 2021. This represents the largest 12-month advance since 1981. Rising inflation affects our cultivation costs, distribution costs and operating expenses. We believe that volatile prices for commodities have impacted our operating results. We maintain strategies to mitigate the impact of higher raw material, energy and commodity costs, which include cost reduction, sourcing, passing along certain cost increases to customers and other actions, which may help to offset a portion of the adverse impact.
The effect of sanctions and an escalation of the conflict in Ukraine may further disrupt supply chains and adversely impact our business.
As a result of the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine and related geopolitical tensions, there have been, and may continue to be, significant adverse impacts on fuel, transportation costs and natural resources. Additionally, the governments of the United States, the European Union, Canada and other jurisdictions have announced the imposition of sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia as well as enhanced export controls on certain products and industries. These and any additional sanctions and export controls, as well as any counter responses by the governments of Russia, could adversely affect, the global supply chain, and the availability and prices of raw materials, energy prices, as well as the global financial markets and financial services industry.
