VILLAGE FARMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands of United States dollars, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)
1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Village Farms International, Inc. (“VFF” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a corporation existing under the Ontario Business Corporations Act. VFF’s principal operating subsidiaries as of June 30, 2024 were Village Farms Canada Limited Partnership, Village Farms, L.P., Pure Sunfarms Corp. (“Pure Sunfarms”), Balanced Health Botanicals, LLC (“Balanced Health”) and VF Clean Energy, Inc. ("VFCE"). VFF also owns an 80 % interest in Rose LifeScience Inc. (“Rose”) and an 85 % interest in Leli Holland B.V. ("Leli").
The address of the registered office of VFF is 4700-80th Street, Delta, British Columbia, Canada, V4K 3N3.
The Company’s shares are listed on Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “VFF”.
Village Farms owns and operates sophisticated, highly intensive agricultural greenhouse facilities in British Columbia and Texas, where it produces, markets and sells premium-quality tomatoes, bell peppers and cucumbers. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Pure Sunfarms, is a vertically integrated Licensed Producer ("LP") and supplier of cannabis products sold to customers throughout Canada and internationally. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Balanced Health, develops and sells high-quality, cannabidiol (“CBD”) based products including ingestible, edible and topical applications within the U.S. Through its 80 % ownership of Rose, the Company has a substantial presence in the Province of Quebec as a cannabis supplier, producer and commercialization expert.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2023 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date. Because certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 contained in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. When necessary, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. Interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. The Company believes that the disclosures made in these consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading.
Principals of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include Village Farms International, Inc. and its subsidiaries and include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control and, when applicable, entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Other parties’ interests in entities that the Company consolidates are reported as non-controlling interests within equity, except for mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests, which are recorded within mezzanine equity. Net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests is reported as a separate line item below net income or loss. The Company applies the equity method of accounting for its investments in entities for which it does not have a controlling financial interest, but over which it has the ability to exert significant influence. For equity investees in which the Company has an undivided interest in the assets, liabilities and profits or losses of an unconsolidated entity, but does not exercise control over the entity, the Company consolidates its proportional interest in the accounts of the entity.
Translations of Foreign Currencies
The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, with resulting translation gains or losses included within other comprehensive income or loss. Revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average rates of exchange during the applicable period. Substantially all of the Company’s foreign operations use their local currency as their functional currency. For foreign operations for which the local currency is not the functional currency, the operation’s non-monetary assets are remeasured into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates. All other accounts are remeasured at current exchange rates. Gains or losses from remeasurement are included in foreign exchange (loss) gain. Currency gains or losses resulting from transactions executed in currencies other than the functional currency are included in foreign exchange (loss) gain.
In these condensed consolidated financial statements, “$” means U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(In thousands of United States dollars, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)
General Economic, Regulatory and Market Conditions
The Company has experienced, and may continue to experience, direct and indirect negative effects on its business and operations from negative economic, regulatory and market conditions, including recent inflationary effects on fuel prices, labor and materials costs, elevated interest rates, potential recessionary impacts and supply chain disruptions that could negatively affect demand for new projects and/or delay existing project timing or cause increased project costs. The extent to which general economic, regulatory and market conditions could affect the Company’s business, operations and financial results is uncertain as it will depend upon numerous evolving factors that management may not be able to accurately predict, and, therefore, any future impacts on the Company’s business, financial condition and/or results of operations cannot be quantified or predicted with specificity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
No accounting pronouncements recently issued or newly effective have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Assessment for Indicators of Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that would indicate an impairment. The Company considers external and internal factors, including overall financial performance and relevant entity-specific factors, as part of this assessment.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company considered qualitative factors in assessing for impairment indicators for the Company’s U.S. and Canadian Cannabis segments.
Cannabis - U.S.
At June 30, 2024 , when the Company considered qualitative factors in assessing impairment indicators it concluded that the Company's U.S. - Cannabis segment more likely than not was impaired. The Company reviewed the reporting segment's assets, including goodwill and intangible assets. Based on recent historical performance during the quarter which has underperformed relative to budget, a revised June 30, 2024 forecast which shows a shortfall compared to the March 31, 2024 forecast, the new restrictions on CBD sales in an additional eight states at July 1, 2024, and the proliferation of unregulated hemp-derived products on the market which continues to challenge market share for the CBD industry, the Company concluded that as of June

(In thousands of United States dollars, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)
30, 2024, the fair value of the brand intangible asset and goodwill was fully impaired and an impairment charge to intangibles of $ 1,900 and goodwill of $ 10,039 was allocated to the U.S. Cannabis reporting unit.
Cannabis - U.S. - Goodwill
The fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on a discounted cash flow projection using projections for 2024 to 2028 with an average revenue growth rate of 6 % between 2025 to 2028 , followed by a terminal growth rate of 2 %. Management concluded that as of June 30, 2024, the fair value was lower than its carrying amount and as a result, an impairment charge to goodwill of $ 10,039 was allocated to the reporting unit.
The significant assumptions applied to the determination of the fair value are described below:
Post-tax discount rate: A market participant post-tax discount rate applied to the after-tax forecast cash flows was 12 %. A decrease of 1 % to the discount rate, would not result in a material change to the impairment charge.
Terminal growth rate: An increase of 1 % in the terminal growth rate would not result in a material change to the impairment charge.
Future cash flows: An increase in future cash flows by 10 % would not result in a material change to the impairment charge.
Cannabis – U.S. Brand
The fair value of the brand was determined based on a discounted cash flow projection. Specifically, the Company utilized a relief from royalty valuation technique to arrive at the fair value of the brand. Management concluded that as of June 30, 2024, the fair value was lower than its carrying value of $ 1,900 as the notional brand maintenance costs exceeded the incremental royalty of 3.5 %. Therefore, an impairment charge to the brand intangible of $ 1,900 was allocated to the reporting unit.
Cannabis - Canada
When the Company considered qualitative factors in assessing impairment indicators for Canadian Cannabis it concluded that no impairment indicators existed as no events or circumstances occurred that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of the reporting units to be below their carrying amounts.
At June 30, 2023 , the Company concluded that no impairment indicators existed as no events or circumstances occurred that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of the reporting units to be below their carrying amounts.

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, minority investments, line of credit, trade payables, accrued liabilities, lease liabilities, note payables and debt. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of line of credit, lease liabilities, notes payable, and debt approximate their fair values due to insignificant changes in credit risk. For its investments, the Company has selected the practicability election to fair value measurement, under which the investment is measured at cost, less impairment, plus or minus observable price changes of an identical or similar investment.
8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES
The Company leases its Rose office building from a company employee who also owns a minority interest in Rose. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company paid C $ 151 and C $ 190 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 the Company paid C $ 47 and C $ 92 , respectively, to lease this office space.
One of the Company’s employees is related to a member of the Company’s executive management team and received approximately $ 85 and $ 61 in salary and benefits during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
On May 29, 2024, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Rose and non-controlling shareholders, which includes two company employees, for the acquisition of an additional 10 % interest in Rose for a total cash purchase price of approximately $ 3,016 .
9. INCOME TAXES
The Company has recorded a provision for income taxes of ($ 260 ) and ($ 580 ) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared with a provision for income taxes of ($ 1,299 ) and ($ 1,933 ) for the same periods last year.
The Company’s income tax provision is based on management’s estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year. The tax (provision) benefit in any period will be affected by, among other things, permanent, as well as temporary, differences in the deductibility of certain items, changes in the valuation allowance related to net deferred tax assets, in addition to changes in tax legislation. As a result, the Company may experience significant fluctuations in the effective book tax rate (that is, tax expense divided by pre-tax book income) from period to period.
In order to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets, the Company will need to generate sufficient taxable income in future years. The Company analyzed all positive and negative evidence to determine if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not to realize the benefit of the net deferred tax assets. The recognition of the net deferred tax assets and related tax benefits is based upon the Company’s conclusions regarding, among other considerations, estimates of future earnings based on
10
VILLAGE FARMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(In thousands of United States dollars, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)
information currently available and current and anticipated customers, contracts, and product introductions, as well as historical operating results and certain tax planning strategies.
Based on the analysis of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company has concluded that it does not have the ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the necessary period to utilize the entire benefit for the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company established a valuation allowance of $ 45,571 as of June 30, 2024 and $ 39,530 as of December 31, 2023. The Company cannot presently estimate what, if any, changes to the valuation of its deferred tax assets may be deemed appropriate in the future.
If the Company incurs future losses, it may be necessary to record additional valuation allowance related to the deferred tax assets recognized as of June 30, 2024.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s net deferred tax assets totaled $ 4,201 and were primarily derived from net operating loss carryforwards.
