Expressed in United States Dollars, unless otherwise indicated

 

 

 

2.2 Basis of Consolidation

 

The subsidiaries are those companies controlled by the Company, as the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiaries and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiaries by way of its ownership and rights pertaining to the subsidiaries. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date control ceases. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

2.3 Basis of Measurement

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments and biological assets, which are measured at fair value, as described herein.

 

2.4 Change in Fiscal Year End

 

Effective December 31, 2023, the Company changed its financial year-end to December 31 from October 31. Comparative figures in preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, and to reflect the results for the three months ended April 30, 2023 in the condensed consolidated interim statements of operations and comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in equity.

 

2.5 Functional and Presentation Currency

 

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar, and the functional currency of its subsidiaries is the United States dollar. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.

 

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency using exchange rates in effect at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. All exchange gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

 

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company are expressed in U.S. Dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and reported as currency translation reserve in shareholders’ equity.

 

Foreign exchange gains or losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future and which, in substance, is considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation, are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. Areas that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the two months ended December 31, 2023. The accounting policies applied in these unaudited condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the two months ended December 31, 2023.

 

2.6 Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

 

The amendment to IAS 1 specifies that the classification of current versus non-current liabilities may change (e.g. convertible debt). Prior to this amendment, the classification of liabilities was considered current when there was no unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date. Under the amendment to IAS 1, the IASB removed the requirement for a right to be unconditional and instead requires that a right to defer settlement must exist at the reporting date and have substance. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The Company adopted the amendments to IAS 1 effective January 1, 2024, which impacts the classification of the Company’s Financial Statements by recording its convertible debt as a current liability in its consolidated statements of financial position dated March 31, 2024.

 

2.7 New Accounting Pronouncements

 

IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts

 

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts within the scope of the standard. The objective of IFRS 17 is to ensure that an entity provides relevant information that faithfully represents those contracts. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

 

Biological assets consist of cannabis plants, which reflect measurement at FVLCTS. Changes in the carrying amounts of biological assets for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the two months ended December 31, 2023, are as follows:

 

    Three months ended     Two months ended  
    March 31,
2024
    December 31,
2023
 
    $     $  
Beginning balance     1,723,342       1,566,822  
Increase in biological assets due to capitalized costs     1,699,644       1,057,764  
Change in FVLCTS due to biological transformation     403,414       686,867  
Transferred to inventory upon harvest     (2,020,824 )     (1,588,111 )
Ending balance     1,805,576       1,723,342  

 

FVLCTS is determined using a model which estimates the expected harvest yield for plants currently being cultivated, and then adjusts that amount for the expected selling price and also for any additional costs to be incurred, such as post- harvest costs.

 

The following significant unobservable inputs, all of which are classified as level 3 on the fair value hierarchy, were used by management as part of this model:

 

- Expected costs required to grow the cannabis up to the point of harvest

- Estimated selling price per pound

- Expected yield from the cannabis plants

- Estimated stage of growth – the Company applied a weighted average number of days out of the approximately 62-day growing cycle that biological assets have reached as of the measurement date based on historical evidence. The Company assigns fair value according to the stage of growth and estimated costs to complete cultivation.

18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

18.1 Market Risk (Including Interest Rate Risk, Currency Risk and Other Price Risk)

 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risk reflects interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risks.

 

18.1.1 Interest Rate Risk

 

At March 31, 204, and December 31, 2023, the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates to long term debt and finance lease obligations; each of these items bear interest at a fixed rate.

 

18.1.2 Currency Risk

 

As at March 31, 2024, the Company had a portion of its accounts payable and accrued liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars which amounted to CAD$194,179 (CAD $155,679 at December 31, 2023). The Company is exposed to the risk of fluctuation in the rate of exchange between the Canadian Dollar and the United States Dollar.

 

18.1.3 Other Price Risk

 

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk and a change in the price of cannabis. The Company is not exposed to significant other price risk.

18.2 Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a loss for the other party by failing to pay for its obligation.

 

Credit risk to the Company is derived from cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash in deposit with United States financial institutions. The Company has established a policy to mitigate the risk of loss related to granting customer credit by primarily selling on a cash-on-delivery basis.

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $8,703,084 and $6,054,579 in excess of the FDIC insured limit, respectively.

 

Accounts receivable primarily consist of trade accounts receivable and sales tax receivable. The Company provides credit to certain customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk. Credit risk is assessed on a case-by-case basis and a provision is recorded where required.

 

The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, and notes receivables represent the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk; the balances of these accounts are summarized in the following table:

 

    March 31,
2024
    December 31,

The allowance for doubtful accounts at March 31, 2024, was $463,390 (December 31, 2023 - $373,393).

Major customers are defined as customers that each individually account for greater than 10% of the Company’s annual revenues. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there was no major customer that accounted for greater than 10% of revenues (Three months ended April 30, 2023 – one major customer accounted for over 11% of revenues). There was one customer with an accounts receivable balance greater than 10% at March 31, 2024, in which the balance of the customer comprised 15% of the total accounts receivable balance (December 31, 2023 – one major customer comprised 11% of total accounts receivable balance.).

 

18.3 Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will have difficulties in paying its financial liabilities.

 

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when they become due. At March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company’s working capital accounts were as follows:

 

    March 31,
2024
    December 31,
2023
 
    $     $  
Cash     9,453,084       6,804,579  
Current assets excluding cash     10,591,455       8,807,958  
Total current assets     20,044,539       15,612,537  
Current liabilities     (17,248,883 )     (11,770,203 )
Working capital     2,795,656       3,842,334  

 

The current liabilities included to derive working capital excludes the current portion of convertible debt which has a maturity greater than one year but is classified as current liabilities based on the newly adopted amendment to IAS 1 effective January 1, 2024.

 

The contractual maturities of the Company’s liabilities occur over the next five years are as follows:

Total     3,646,282       2,995,348       3,102,163  

 

18.4 Fair Values

 

The carrying amounts for the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, prepaid and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, current portions of debt and debentures payable, unearned revenue, and interest payable approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these items.

18.5 Fair Value Hierarchy

 

A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair value for both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The Company has an established framework, which includes team members who have overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values. When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. The Company regularly assesses significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

 

Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; or

 

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The carrying values of the financial instruments at March 31, 2024, are summarized in the following table:

20. INCOME TAXES

 

As the Company operates in the legal cannabis industry, certain subsidiaries of the Company are subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under IRC Section 280E, these subsidiaries are generally only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to the cost of goods sold. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E. Therefore, the effective tax rate can be highly variable and may not necessarily correlate with pre-tax income or loss recognized for financial reporting purposes.

 

The Company is treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under IRC Section 7874 and is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide income. However, for Canadian tax purposes, the Company, regardless of any application of IRC Section 7874, is treated as a Canadian resident company for Canadian income tax purposes as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada). As a result, the Company is subject to taxation both in Canada and the United States. The

The following tax assets arising from temporary differences and non-capital losses have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the two months ended December 31, 2023:

 

    March 31,
2024
   

December 31,
2023

 
    $     $  
Property, plant and equipment     32,187       8,061  
Inventory     344,827       129,573  
ROU Leases     (207,586 )     (168,327 )
Net Operating Loss Carryforward (federal)     170,117       274,831  
Net Operating Loss Carryforward (state)     -       2,156  
Net deferred tax assets     339,545       246,294  

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities result primarily from amounts not taxable until future periods. Deferred income tax assets result primarily from operating tax loss carry forwards and temporary differences related to property, plant and equipment and inventory, and have been offset against deferred income tax liabilities. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has estimated Canadian non-capital losses of CAD$9,748,296 and capital losses of CAD$5,168,246. The Canadian non-capital losses are available to be carried forward, to be applied against Grown Rogue International Inc.’s taxable income earned in Canada over the next 20 years and expire between 2030 and 2043. The Canadian capital losses can be carried forward indefinitely. The deferred tax benefit of these Canadian tax losses has not been set up as an asset as it is not probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available for Canadian tax purposes to realize the carryforward of unused tax losses. Additionally, the deferred tax benefit of capitalized transaction costs and startup costs have not been setup as a deferred tax asset since it is not probable that the Company would be able to realize these deductible temporary differences for U.S. tax purposes.

 

The Company operates in various U.S. state tax jurisdictions and is subject to examination of its income tax returns by tax authorities in those jurisdictions who may challenge any item on these returns. Because the tax matters challenged by tax authorities are typically complex, the ultimate outcome of these challenges is uncertain. In accordance with IAS 12, the Company recognizes the benefits of uncertain tax positions in our consolidated financial statements only after determining that it is more likely than not that the uncertain tax positions will be sustained. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the two months ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not record an accrual for uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. There are no positions for which it is reasonably possible that the uncertain tax benefit will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months. The Company files income tax returns in the United States, including various state jurisdictions, and in Canada, which remain open to examination by the respective jurisdictions starting with the 2018 tax year to the present.

 

U.S. Federal and state tax laws impose restrictions on net operating loss carryforwards in the event of a change in ownership of the Company, as defined by the IRC Section 382. The Company does not believe that a change in ownership, as defined by IRC Section 382, has occurred but a formal study has not been completed.

 

U.S. Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022. The Company does not anticipate any impact to its income tax provision as a result of the new U.S. legislation.

In January of 2023, GR Unlimited exercised its option to acquire 87% of the membership units of Canopy from the CEO. Prior to this, ninety-six percent (96%) of Canopy was owned by officers and directors of the Company, and four percent (4%) was owned by a third party. Ownership by officers and directors, excluding the CEO, was pursuant to agreements which caused their ownership of Canopy to be equal to their ownership in GR Michigan (Note 23.2), which total 3.5%. The CEO owned 92.5% of Canopy, which was analogous to the CEO’s 5.5% ownership of GR Michigan, and an additional 87% of Canopy, which was and is equal to the Company’s 87% ownership of GR Michigan. Following GR Unlimited’s acquisition of 87% of the membership units of Canopy in January of 2023, Canopy became owned 87% by GR Unlimited; 7.5% by officers and directors; and 5.5% by the CEO.

24. LEGAL MATTERS

 

On September 22, 2022, the SEC issued an Order Instituting Proceedings pursuant to Section 12(j) of 1934 Act, against the Company alleging violations of the 1934 Act, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder, by failing to timely file periodic reports. Section 12(j) authorizes the SEC as it deems necessary or appropriate for the protection of investors to suspend for a period not exceeding 12 months, or to revoke, the registration of a security if the SEC finds, on the record after notice and opportunity for hearing, that the issuer of such security has failed to comply with any provision of the 1934 Act, as amended, or the rules promulgated thereunder. The Company has filed an answer to the Order Instituting Proceedings and is seeking a hearing in the matter. The Company is currently fully compliant with all of its filings, is vigorously defending itself in the matter, and is preparing to re-register its security if necessary.

On March 1, 2024, the Company announced it has accelerated the expiry date of an aggregate of 23,270,249 common share purchase warrants comprised of the December Warrants, July Warrants and August Warrants. The Company issued the notice of acceleration required by the warrant certificates governing these warrants on March 1, 2024, thereby accelerating the expiry date to 90 days from the date of notice. As of April 10, 2024, all 23,270,249 common share purchase warrants were exercised for an aggregate of 23,270,249 common shares for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$4.7 million.

 

25.2 Canopy Buyout

 

On April 25, 2024, the Company announced that it has increased ownership in its Michigan operations from 52.2% to 80% in two transactions for total consideration of US$2.8M, with US$0.2M paid in cash and US$2.6M paid by way of 4 year sellers’ notes. Grown Rogue increased its ownership in Golden Harvests, the entity that controls its Michigan operations, operating out of an 80,000 sq ft facility that contains approximately 15,000 square feet of flowering bench space. We purchased the total remaining minority interest in Canopy for US$0.8M, which includes a 20% down payment in cash and monthly payments for a period of 4 years with an interest rate of 5.2% per annum. Additionally, the Company purchased 20% of the minority interest in Golden Harvests for US$2.0M, which includes minimum quarterly payments in cash for a period of 4 years. The transaction provides for a valuation of Golden Harvests at US$10.0M. All payments owing to the sellers are expected to be completed with cash on hand and cash generated from operations. The Company retains the option to acquire the remaining 20% of Golden Harvests at a fair market valuation.
