Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024, and October 31, 2023 (note 2.4)
Expressed in United States Dollars, unless otherwise indicated
The Board of Directors authorized the issuance of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements on November 13th, 2024.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are set forth below.
| 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.
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 unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, and to reflect the results for the three months and nine months ended October 31, 2023, in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of 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 (“U.S.”) 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.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024, and October 31, 2023 (note 2.4)
Expressed in United States Dollars, unless otherwise indicated
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 – Presentation of Financial Statements 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 condensed consolidated statements of financial position dated September 30, 2024.
| 2.7 | New Accounting Pronouncements |
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosures
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements will replace IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements. The new standard aims at improving how entities communicate in their financial statements and will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The standard is applied retrospectively, with specific transition provisions, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Biological assets consist of cannabis plants, which reflect measurement at fair value less costs to sell (“FVLCTS”). Changes in the carrying amounts of biological assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and the two months ended December 31, 2023, are as follows:
| | Nine months ended | | | Two months ended | |
| | September 30, 2024 | | | December 31, 2023 | |
| | $ | | | $ | |
Beginning balance | | | 1,723,342 | | | | 1,566,822 | |
Increase in biological assets due to capitalized costs | | | 5,360,242 | | | | 1,057,764 | |
Change in FVLCTS due to biological transformation | | | 2,065,695 | | | | 686,867 | |
Transferred to inventory upon harvest | | | (6,221,701 | ) | | | (1,588,111 | ) |
Ending balance | | | 2,927,578 | | | | 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.
| | | | | | | | Impact of 20% change | |

On December 1, 2021, the Company and the seller of the 60% controlling interest in Golden Harvests agreed to extend the due date of the cash portion of business acquisition consideration payable until December 31, 2024, in exchange for monthly payments at a rate of 18% per annum. The Company may pay all or part of the cash portion of the business acquisition consideration payable prior to December 31, 2024.
On April 24, 2024, the Company acquired an additional 20% interest in Golden Harvests for aggregate consideration of $2,342,207 comprised of deferred cash payments of $2,000,0000 (the Initial Purchase Price or “IPP”) plus true-up amounts (the Additional Purchase Price or “APP”). The IPP is to be paid for in thirteen quarterly installments beginning on January 1, 2025. The Company may pay all or part of the cash portion of the business acquisition consideration payable after January 1, 2025.

The APP is calculated on a distribution equivalent basis whereby the seller receives a true-up payment pro-rata based on the proportion of remaining IPP balance at the time of the distribution payment made to the Company. If distribution equivalent amounts in any quarter are in excess of the minimum interest amounts, then no minimum interest amount is due. The distribution equivalent is reduced pro-rata in accordance with amounts paid down against sellers IPP.

| 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.
At September 30, 2024, 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.
As at September 30, 2024, the Company had a portion of its accounts payable and accrued liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars which amounted to CAD$203,112 (CAD $155,679 at December 31, 2023). The Company also has derivative liabilities of $13,222,933 which are based on the underlying price of the Company’s stock in Canadian Dollars. The Company is exposed to the risk of fluctuation in the rate of exchange between the Canadian Dollar and the United States Dollar.

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 exposed to price risk related to its derivative liabilities and warrant assets which are based on the underlying value of the Company stock. The Company is not exposed to significant other price risks.
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, trade accounts receivable, and notes 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 and notes receivable. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $4,841,717 and $6,054,579 in excess of the FDIC insured limit, respectively. The Company has loaned ABCO Garden State, LLC $7,697,640 under secured and unsecured notes and advances.
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:
| | September 30, 2024 | | | December 31, 2023 | |
| | $ | | | $ | |
Cash | | | 5,591,717 | | | | 6,804,579 | |

Total | | | 16,647,399 | | | | 10,896,691 | |
The allowance for doubtful accounts at September 30, 2024, was $390,604 (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 nine months ended September 30, 2024, there was no major customer that accounted for greater than 10% of revenues (nine months ended October 31, 2023 – no major customer that accounted for greater than 10% of revenues). There was no customer with an accounts receivable balance greater than 10% at September 30, 2024, of the total accounts receivable balance (December 31, 2023 – one major customer comprised 11% of total accounts receivable balance).
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 September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company’s working capital accounts were as follows:

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.
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 Company is treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Internal Revenue Code (“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 Company is also subject to state income taxation in various state jurisdictions in the United States. The Company’s income tax is accounted for in accordance with IAS 12 – Income Taxes.

Net Operating Loss Carryforward (state) | | | 2,156 | | | | 2,156 | |
Net deferred tax assets: | | | 700,165 | | | | 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 September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the two months ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not record an accrual for uncertain tax positions.
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.
Upon filing of its tax return for fiscal year ending October 31, 2023, the Company has adopted a new U.S. federal income tax position as of August 15, 2024, asserting that the restrictions of IRC Section 280E do not apply to the Company’s cannabis operations. The decision to adopt this position is supported by legal interpretations that challenge the Company’s tax liability as determined pursuant to IRC Section 280E. If the Company’s interpretation is upheld, the Company’s financial position could be significantly enhanced by the ability to deduct additional ordinary and necessary business expenses that are non-deductible under IRC Section 280E.
While the Company believes its position is supported by sound legal reasoning, the cannabis industry remains in a complex regulatory environment. The U.S. federal illegality of cannabis poses unique challenges and uncertainties, including the potential for differing interpretations and enforcement actions. The Company is prepared to vigorously defend its tax position if challenged and will continue to monitor legal developments in this matter closely; however, the Company cannot be certain that it will prevail on this issue with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). As a precautionary measure, if the Company were not to prevail on this issue with the IRS, it has set aside reserves to mitigate the potential financial impact of such a determination, which is recognized within the Company’s income tax payable on its condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position (unaudited).
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.
