VIREO GROWTH INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Description of Business and Summary
Vireo Growth Inc. (“Vireo Growth” or the “Company”) (formerly, Goodness Growth Holdings, Inc.) was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on November 23, 2004. The Company was previously listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under ticker symbol “GDNS”. On July 8, 2024, the Company changed its name to Vireo Growth Inc., its ticker symbol on the CSE to “VREO” and its ticker symbol on the OTCQX to “VREOF.”
Vireo Growth is a cannabis company whose mission is to provide safe access, quality products and value to its customers while supporting its local communities through active participation and restorative justice programs. Vireo Growth operates cannabis cultivation, production, and dispensary facilities in Maryland, Minnesota, and New York.
While marijuana and CBD-infused products are legal under the laws of several U.S. states (with vastly differing restrictions), the United States Federal Controlled Substances Act classifies all “marijuana” as a Schedule I drug. Under U.S. federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the United States, and a lack of safety for the use of the drug under medical supervision. Recently some federal officials have attempted to distinguish between medical cannabis use as necessary, but adult-use as “still a violation of federal law.” At the present time, the distinction between “medical marijuana” and “adult-use marijuana” does not exist under U.S. federal law.
Update on Verano Litigation (Note 16)
On October 21, 2022, Vireo Growth commenced an action in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Verano Holdings Corp. ("Verano") after Verano repudiated the Arrangement Agreement with the Company dated January 31, 2022. The Company is seeking damages, costs and interest, based on Verano's breach of contract and of its duty of good faith and honest performance.
On May 2, 2024, the Company filed a Notice of Application (the "Summary Trial Application") with the Supreme Court of British Columbia seeking summary determination. The Company is seeking substantial damages, specifically $
On June 19, 2024, Verano filed a Notice of Application (the “Preliminary Suitability Application”) seeking orders dismissing the Summary Trial Application on the basis that certain issues in the action are not suitable for summary determination. The Preliminary Suitability Application is currently set for hearing on June 15 and 16, 2025.
Due to uncertainties inherent in litigation, it is not possible for Vireo Growth to predict the timing or final outcome of the legal proceedings against Verano or to determine the amount of damages, if any, that may be awarded.
Merger Agreements with Deep Roots, Proper and Wholesome
On December 18, 2024, we entered into the Merger Agreements with respect the Mergers. Each Merger is an all-share transaction whereby, at the closing of each applicable transaction, (i) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company would merge with and into Deep Roots, (ii) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company would merge with and into Wholesome, and (ii) the Proper entities would each merge with and into new wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. None of the Deep Roots Merger, the Proper Mergers or the Wholesome Merger is contingent on the completion of any of the other Mergers (Note 3).

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
None.
Net loss per share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing reported net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reported period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock of the Company during the reporting period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and the number of potential dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of vested share options and the incremental shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock units.
In computing diluted earnings per share, common share equivalents are not considered in periods in which a net loss is reported, as the inclusion of the common share equivalents would be anti-dilutive. The Company recorded a net loss for the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, presented in these financial statements, and as such there is no difference between the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share for these periods.
The anti-dilutive shares outstanding for the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:

3. Business Combinations and Dispositions
Acquisitions
On December 18, 2024, Vireo Growth Inc. (the “Company”), entered into Merger Agreements with respect to a business combination with each of (i) Deep Roots Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Deep Roots”) (the “Deep Roots Merger”); (ii) Proper Holdings Management, Inc. and NGH Investments, Inc., both Missouri corporations (together, “Proper”) (the “Proper Mergers”); and (iii) WholesomeCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Wholesome”) (the “Wholesome Merger” and, collectively with the Deep Roots Merger and the Proper Mergers, the “Mergers”). Each Merger is an all-share transaction whereby, at the closing of each applicable transaction, (i) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company would merge with and into Deep Roots, (ii) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company would merge with and into Wholesome, and (ii) the Proper entities would each merge with and into new wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. None of the Deep Roots Merger, the Proper Mergers or the Wholesome Merger is contingent on the completion of any of the other Mergers. As of March 31, 2025, none of the Merger Transactions have closed, and as such, no financial results of the single-state operators have been presented or consolidated herein.
The consideration to be paid to acquire each of Deep Roots, Proper and Wholesome is based, in each case, in part on an estimated multiple of a 2024 “Reference EBITDA”, which is pro-forma for pending acquisitions as well as planned new retail openings and expansion projects, and a US$
Pursuant to the Merger Agreements, former stockholders of each of Deep Roots, Proper and Wholesome may qualify for earnout payments made with the Company’s subordinate voting shares following December 31, 2026, based on each target’s Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the applicable Merger Agreement) growth compared to such target’s Reference EBITDA (at a
Each of the Merger Agreements provides for the clawback of up to
In connection with the Wholesome Merger Agreement (as defined herein) and Proper Merger Agreement (as defined herein), the Company will include in the stock merger consideration calculation an amount equal to (i) US$
In connection with each of the Merger Agreements, the Company will enter into an Investor Rights Agreement with the persons receiving the Company’s subordinate voting shares in the Mergers. Each Investor Rights Agreement will require the Company in certain circumstances to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a
10
registration statement covering the resale of the Company’s subordinate voting shares issued pursuant to the Merger Agreements, in each case following the expiration of the initial 12 month lock-up period following the closing of the transactions under each Merger Agreement. Each Investor Rights Agreement will also provide such persons with certain piggyback registration rights in certain circumstances.
The closing of each of the Mergers is subject to closing conditions and contained in the Merger Agreements. Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), a Schedule 14C information statement dated March 21, 2025, was prepared by the Company and filed with the SEC and mailed to the stockholders of the Company relating to stockholder approval of the issuance of the Company’s subordinate voting shares in the Mergers and approvals required under the rules of the Canadian Stock Exchange, which was obtained by written consent of the stockholders.
Assets Held for Sale
As of March 31, 2025, the Company identified property and equipment, deposits, and lease assets and liabilities associated with the businesses in New York, Nevada, and Massachusetts with carrying amounts that are expected to be recovered principally through sale or disposal rather than through continuing use. The sale of these assets and liabilities is highly probable, they can be sold in their immediate condition, and the sales are expected to occur within the next twelve months. As such, these assets and liabilities have been classified as “held for sale.” Management does not believe these divestitures represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results, and as such, none of these divestitures are considered a discontinued operation. The carrying value of these net assets did not exceed fair value less expected cost to sell, and as such, the Company recorded

4. Fair Value Measurements
The Company complies with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
11
Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
The Company’s non-financial assets, such as prepayments and other current assets, long lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. No indicators of impairment existed as of March 31, 2025, and therefore
The carrying value of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature, and the carrying value of notes receivable, long-term debt, and convertible debt approximates fair value as they bear a market rate of interest.
The carrying value of the Company’s warrants held utilize Level 3 inputs given there is no market activity for the asset. The inputs used are further described in Note 18.

Trade receivables are comprised of the following items:

Verano
On January 31, 2022, the Company entered into the Arrangement Agreement with Verano, pursuant to which Verano was to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Vireo Growth pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, holders of Vireo Growth Shares would receive
On October 13, 2022, Vireo Growth received a notice of purported termination of the Arrangement Agreement (the “Notice”) from Verano. The Notice asserted certain breaches of the Arrangement Agreement, including claims the Company’s public filings and communications with respect to its business and ongoing operations were misleading and that the Company breached its representations to Verano under the Arrangement Agreement. Verano also claimed, as a result of such breaches, it is entitled to payment of a $
On October 21, 2022, Vireo Growth commenced an action in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Verano after Verano wrongfully repudiated the Arrangement Agreement. The Company is seeking damages, costs and interest, based on Verano's breach of contract and of its duty of good faith and honest performance.
On November 14, 2022, Verano filed counterclaims against the Company for the termination fee and transaction expenses described above.
On July 31, 2023, the Company filed a requisition for adjournment of its application filed July 14, 2023, and set for hearing on July 31, 2023 to compel Verano’s compliance with document production based upon the Company’s belief that Verano was engaging in tactics to delay the litigation.
Throughout 2023, the Company served
On May 2, 2024, the Company filed the Summary Trial Application the Supreme Court of British Columbia for summary determination. The Company is seeking substantial damages, specifically US $
On June 19, 2024, Verano filed the Preliminary Suitability Application seeking orders dismissing the Summary Trial Application on the basis that certain issues in the action are not suitable for summary determination. The Preliminary Suitability Application is currently set for hearing on June 15 and 16, 2025.
Due to uncertainties inherent in litigation, it is not possible for Vireo Growth to predict the timing or final outcome of the legal proceedings against Verano or to determine the amount of damages, if any, that may be awarded. The damages sought will be significant and material given that Verano’s breach left the Company in a vulnerable position resulting in the Company being constrained in its ability to fund growth initiatives that were desirable and that its competitors were able to undertake, most notably in Minnesota and New York markets.

The CARES Act provides an employee retention credit (“CARES Employee Retention credit”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes of up to $5,000 per employee for eligible employers. The tax credit is equal to 50% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, capped at $10,000 of qualified wages per employee through December 31, 2020. Additional relief provisions were passed by the United States government, which extended and slightly expanded the qualified wage caps on these credits through December 31, 2021. Based on these additional provisions, the tax credit is now equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, and the limit on qualified wages per employee has been increased to $10,000 of qualified wages per quarter. The Company applied for and received the tax credit under the CARES Act. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded and received $

19. Segment Reporting
The Company utilized the guidance in ASC 280 to determine how many reportable segments the Company has. We considered various attributes of the overall Company including but not limited to the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the types of customers, the regulatory environment, business geography, and the level at which the Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the performance and allocates resources. Given the similarities in the types of products, cannabis products in various form factors, the types of customers, retail and wholesale customers, the geography and regulatory environment in which sales are made, the United States, and the Chief Operating Decision Maker, the Chief Executive Officer, assesses performance and allocates resources at the consolidated level, the Company has determined that it only has
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker assesses performance for the cannabis segment and decides how to allocate resources based on operating profit and net income that also is reported on the income statement as consolidated net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet total as consolidated assets. The chief operating decision maker uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding the appropriate capital allocation strategy. A comparison of budgeted results to actual results is also used by the chief operating decision maker to assess business performance.
The Company’s cannabis segment cultivates, processes and distributes medical and adult-use cannabis products in a variety of formats, as well as related accessories in the United States. Revenue is derived from the sale of these products in the United States, and the assets used to produce these products are also held in the United States. The accounting policy for recording revenue, and all other accounting policies, are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies footnote (Note 2).

21. Financial Instruments
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, and accounts receivable. A small portion of cash is held on hand, from which management believes the risk of loss is remote. Receivables relate primarily to wholesale sales. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to customers. The Company’s maximum credit risk exposure is equivalent to the carrying value of these instruments. The Company has been granted licenses pursuant to the laws of the states of Maryland, Minnesota, and New York with respect to cultivating, processing, and/or distributing marijuana. Presently, this industry is illegal under United States federal law. The Company has adhered, and intends to continue to adhere, strictly to the applicable state statutes in its operations.
Liquidity risk
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s financial liabilities consist of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, debt,
23
convertible debt, liabilities held for sale, and uncertain tax liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk by reviewing its capital requirements on an ongoing basis. Historically, the Company’s main source of funding has been additional funding from investors and debt issuances. The Company’s access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity or debt financing.
Legal Risk
Vireo Growth operates in the United States. The U.S. federal government regulates drugs through the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811), which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug. Under U.S. federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the U.S., and a lack of accepted safety for the use of the drug under medical supervision. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved marijuana as a safe and effective drug for any indication. In the U.S. marijuana is largely regulated at the state level. State laws regulating cannabis are in direct conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes cannabis use and possession federally illegal.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency rates. Given the Company’s financial transactions are rarely denominated in a foreign currency, there is minimal foreign currency risk exposure.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company currently carries variable interest-bearing debt subject to fluctuations in the United States Prime rate. A change of 100 basis points in interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2025, would have resulted in a corresponding change in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss of $

Overview of the Company
Vireo Growth is a cannabis company whose mission is to provide safe access, quality products and value to its customers while supporting its local communities through active participation and restorative justice programs. The Company is evolving with the industry and is in the midst of a transformation to being significantly more customer-centric across its operations, which include cultivation, manufacturing, wholesale and retail business lines. With our core operations strategically located in three limited-license markets through our state-licensed subsidiaries, we cultivate and manufacture cannabis products and distribute these products through our growing network of Green Goods® and other retail dispensaries we own or operate as well as to third-party dispensaries in the markets in which our subsidiaries hold operating licenses.
Operating Segment
We report our operating results in one business segment: the cultivation, production, and sale of cannabis. We cultivate, manufacture, and distribute cannabis products to third parties in wholesale markets and cultivate, manufacture, and sell cannabis products directly to approved patients and adult-use-customers in our owned or operated retail stores.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had operating revenue in three states: Maryland, Minnesota, and New York. Retail revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2025 were derived from sales in 14 dispensaries throughout these three states. We had eight operational dispensaries in Minnesota, four in New York, and two in Maryland. Wholesale revenues were derived from sales of products to third parties in Maryland, Minnesota, and New York.
Merger Agreements with Deep Roots, Proper and Wholesome
On December 18, 2024, we entered into the Merger Agreements with respect the Mergers. Each Merger is an all-share transaction whereby, at the closing of each applicable transaction, (i) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the
25
Company would merge with and into Deep Roots, (ii) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company would merge with and into Wholesome, and (ii) the Proper entities would each merge with and into new wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. None of the Deep Roots Merger, the Proper Mergers or the Wholesome Merger is contingent on the completion of any of the other Mergers.
Three months ended March 31, 2025, Compared to Three months ended March 31, 2024
Revenue
We derived our revenue from cultivating, processing, and distributing cannabis products through our fourteen dispensaries in three states and our wholesale sales to third parties in three states. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, 78% of our revenue was generated from retail dispensaries and 22% from the wholesale business. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, 81% of our revenue was generated from retail business and 19% from wholesale business.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Minnesota operations contributed approximately 47% of revenues, New York contributed 9%, and Maryland contributed 44%. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Minnesota operations contributed approximately 46% of revenues, New York contributed 12%, and Maryland contributed 42%.
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $24,540,641, an increase of $453,326 or 2% compared to revenue of $24,087,315 for the three-months ended March 31, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to increased revenue contributions from the Maryland wholesale business partially offset by the decrease in New York revenues.
Retail revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $19,233,641 a decrease of $365,799 or 2% compared to retail revenue of $19,599,440 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to decreased revenue contributions from the New York business.
Wholesale revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $5,307,000, an increase of $819,125 compared to wholesale revenue of $4,487,875 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to increased revenue contributions from the Maryland business.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Gross profit reflects total net revenue less cost of sales. Cost of sales represents the costs attributable to producing bulk materials and finished goods, which includes direct materials, labor, and certain indirect costs such as depreciation, insurance, utilities and valuation adjustments. Cannabis costs are affected by various state regulations that limit the sourcing and procurement of cannabis product, which may create fluctuations in gross profit over comparative periods as the regulatory environment changes.
Cost of sales are determined from costs related to the cultivation and processing of cannabis and cannabis-derived products as well as the cost of finished goods inventory purchased from third parties and valuation adjustments.
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $12,128,329, an increase of $285,441 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, of $11,842,888.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $12,412,312, representing a gross margin of 51%. This is compared to gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024, of $12,244,427 or a 51% gross margin. The increase in gross profit was driven by an increase in sales holding flat margins.
We believe our current production capacity has not been fully realized and we expect future operations to benefit from increased revenue growth reflective of higher demand, increased product output and new product development. However, we expect gradual price compression as markets mature, which could place downward pressure on our retail and wholesale gross margins.
Total Expenses
Total expenses other than the cost of sales consist of selling costs to support customer relationships, marketing, and branding activities. It also includes a significant investment in the corporate infrastructure required to support ongoing business.
Selling costs generally correlate to revenue. In the short-term as a percentage of sales, we expect selling costs to remain relatively flat. However, as anticipated positive regulatory developments in our core markets occur, we expect selling costs as a percentage of sales to decrease via growth in our retail and wholesale channels.
General and administrative expenses also include costs incurred at the corporate offices, primarily related to personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, and other professional service costs, as well as corporate insurance, legal and professional fees associated with being a publicly traded company. We expect general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales to decrease as we realize revenue growth organically and through anticipated positive regulatory developments in our core markets.
Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $10,436,623 an increase of $2,951,640 compared to total expenses of $7,484,983 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in total expenses is primarily attributable to a increase in stock-based compensation expense and transaction costs associated with the Merger transactions.
Operating Income before Other Income (Expense) and Income Taxes
Operating income before other income (expense) and provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $1,975,689 a decrease of $2,783,755 compared to $4,759,444 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
27
Total Other Expense
Total other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $6,809,479, a decrease of $716,425 compared to other expense of $7,525,904 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This change is primarily attributable to increased other income driven by the increasing value of the warrants we hold in Grown Rogue.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income tax expense is recognized based on the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year-end. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, tax expense totaled $1,675,000 compared to tax expense of $3,945,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that does not have a standardized definition under the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Total Revenues excluding revenues from states where we have divested operations is also a non-GAAP measure that does not have a standardized definition under GAAP. The following information provides reconciliations of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measure EBITDA presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measure Total Revenues that excludes revenues from states where we have divested operations presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP can be found in the tables above where the measure appears. We have provided these non-GAAP financial measures, which are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, as supplemental information and in addition to the financial measures that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity, Financing Activities During the Period, and Capital Resources
We are an early-stage growth company. We are generating cash from sales and deploying our capital reserves to acquire and develop assets capable of producing additional revenues and earnings over both the immediate and near term. Capital

reserves are for capital expenditures and improvements in existing facilities, product development and marketing, customer, supplier, investor, industry relations, and working capital.
Current management forecasts and related assumptions support the view that we can adequately manage the operational needs of the business.
Credit Facility
During 2017 the Company signed a promissory note payable in the amount of $1,010,000. The note bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum with interest payments required on a monthly basis. In 2019 the Company’s promissory note payable in the amount of $1,010,000 was modified to increase the amount payable to $1,110,000. The Company paid the note off in full during the year ended December 31, 2024.
On November 19, 2021, the Company signed a promissory note payable in the amount of $2,000,000 in connection with the acquisition of Charm City Medicus, LLC. The note bears an interest rate of 8% per annum with interest payments due on the last day of each calendar quarter. On November 19, 2023, the Company and lender amended the note. Per the terms of the amendment, the interest rate was modified to 15%, and the Company paid off $1,000,000 of principal. On November 27, 2024, the Company and lender executed the second amendment to the note. Per the terms of the amendment, the maturity date was extended, the interest rate was increased to 18%, and the Company repaid $100,000 in principal. The remaining principal balance of $900,000 was repaid in full during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
On March 25, 2021, the Company entered into a credit agreement for a senior secured delayed draw term loan with an aggregate principal amount of up to $46,000,000 (the “Credit Facility”), and executed a draw of $26,000,000 in principal. The unpaid principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate of (a) the U.S. prime rate plus 10.375%, payable monthly in cash, and (b) 2.75% per annum paid in kind (“PIK”) interest payable monthly. In connection with the Credit Facility, the Company also pays a monthly credit monitoring fee in the amount of $130,400 which is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
On November 18, 2021, the Company and lenders amended the Credit Facility to provide for an additional loan of $4,200,000 with a cash interest rate of 15% per annum and PIK interest of 2% per annum and a maturity date of November 29, 2024. Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company.
On January 31, 2022, Vireo Growth and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (collectively, “Borrowers”), entered into a Third Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Third Amendment”) providing for additional delayed draw term loans of up to $55 million (the “Delayed Draw Loans”). The cash interest rate on the Delayed Draw Loans under the Third Amendment is equal to the U.S. prime rate plus 10.375%, with a minimum required rate of 13.375% per annum, in addition to PIK interest of 2.75% per annum.
On March 31, 2023, the Company executed a fifth amendment to its Credit Facility with its senior secured lender, Chicago Atlantic Admin, LLC (the "Agent"), an affiliate of Green Ivy Capital, and a group of lenders. The amended credit facility extends the maturity date on its Delayed Draw Loans to April 30, 2024, through the issuance of 15,000,000 Subordinate Voting Shares in lieu of a cash extension fee. These 15,000,000 shares were valued at $1,407,903 using a fair value per share of $0.094 and considered a deferred financing cost. The fair value per share reflects a 22% discount to the market price at the time of issuance to account for the four-month trading lock-up imposed on the shares. The amendment also provides the Company with reduced cash outlays by eliminating required amortization of the loan, and requires the Company to divest certain assets to improve its liquidity position and financial performance. The Company has the potential to extend the maturity date on its Delayed Draw Loans up to January 31, 2026 with the satisfaction of certain financial performance-related conditions.
On April 30, 2024, the Company executed a short-term extension of the maturity date on the Credit Facility with the Agent. The Credit Facility was extended until June 14, 2024, matching all other terms of the existing agreement. On June 14, 2024, another short-term extension was executed which extended the maturity date on the Credit Facility to July 31, 2024, matching all other terms of the existing agreement.
29
On May 21, 2024 the Company executed a $1,200,000 term loan with the Agent to assist with the purchase of a site for a new dispensary location. The loan bears an interest rate of 12.0% and is due on May 28, 2027. Financing costs of $68,600 were incurred in connection with the closing of the loan.
On July 31, 2024, the Company executed a ninth amendment to the Company’s Credit Facility. The ninth amendment to the Company’s Credit Facility extends the maturity date on the Credit Facility loans to January 29, 2027, adjusts and extends the deadline with respect to the Company’s ongoing disposition of its New York operations through July 31, 2025, and amends certain financial measure definitions and covenants within the agreement. The Company issued 12,500,000 Subordinate Voting Shares to the lenders in consideration for the credit facility amendment. These 12,500,000 shares were valued at $5,387,500 using a fair value per share of $0.431 and considered a deferred financing cost.
Unless otherwise specified, all deferred financing costs are treated as a contra-liability, to be netted against the outstanding loan balance and amortized over the remaining life of the loan. As of March 31, 2025, $5,704,752 (December 31, 2024 - $6,576,985) of deferred financing costs remain unamortized.
Convertible Notes
On July 31, 2024, the holders voluntarily converted convertible notes issued in 2023 into 73,016,061 Subordinate Voting Shares of the Company.
On November 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Joinder and Tenth Amendment to Credit Agreement. The Tenth Amendment provides a convertible note facility (the “New Convertible Notes”) with a maximum principal amount of $10,000,000. The New Convertible Notes mature November 1, 2027, have a cash interest rate of 12.0 percent per year, are convertible into that number of the Company’s subordinate voting shares determined by dividing the outstanding principal amount plus all accrued but unpaid interest on the Convertible Notes on the date of such conversion by a conversion price of $0.625. The Company incurred $145,717 in financing costs in connection with the signing of the Tenth Amendment.
All deferred financing costs are treated as a contra-liability, to be netted against the outstanding loan balance and amortized over the remaining life of the loan. As of March 31, 2025, $125,472 (December 31, 2024 - $137,622) of deferred financing costs remain unamortized.
Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $2.1 million as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase is primarily attributed to less favorable changes in working capital, particularly assets held for sale, and increased transaction costs associated with the Merger transactions.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $0.1 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to increased property, plant, and equipment additions relative to the prior year.
Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a change of $0.2 million as compared to $1.1 million used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change was principally due to decreased debt principal payments during the three months ended March 31, 2025 relative to the prior year quarter.
30
Lease Transactions
As of March 31, 2025, we have entered into lease agreements for the use of buildings used in cultivation, production and/or sales of cannabis products in Maryland, Minnesota, and New York.
The lease agreements for all of the retail space used for our dispensary operations are with third-party landlords and remaining duration ranges from 1 to 6 years. These agreements are short-term facility leases that require us to make monthly rent payments as well as funding common area costs, utilities and maintenance. In some cases, we have received tenant improvement funds to assist in the buildout of the space to meet our operating needs. As of March 31, 2025, we operated 14 retail locations secured under these agreements.
We have also entered into sale and leaseback arrangements for our cultivation and processing facilities in Minnesota and New York with a special-purpose real estate investment trust. These leases are long-term agreements that provide, among other things, funds to make certain improvements to the property that will significantly enhance production capacity and operational efficiency of the facility.
Excluding any contracts under one year in duration, the future minimum lease payments (principal and interest) on all our leases are as follows:

Description of Business and Summary | VIREO GROWTH INC. Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 1. Description of Business and Summary Vireo Growth Inc. (“Vireo Growth” or the “Company”) (formerly, Goodness Growth Holdings, Inc.) was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on November 23, 2004. The Company was previously listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under ticker symbol “GDNS”. On July 8, 2024, the Company changed its name to Vireo Growth Inc., its ticker symbol on the CSE to “VREO” and its ticker symbol on the OTCQX to “VREOF.” Vireo Growth is a cannabis company whose mission is to provide safe access, quality products and value to its customers while supporting its local communities through active participation and restorative justice programs. Vireo Growth operates cannabis cultivation, production, and dispensary facilities in Maryland, Minnesota, and New York. While marijuana and CBD-infused products are legal under the laws of several U.S. states (with vastly differing restrictions), the United States Federal Controlled Substances Act classifies all “marijuana” as a Schedule I drug. Under U.S. federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the United States, and a lack of safety for the use of the drug under medical supervision. Recently some federal officials have attempted to distinguish between medical cannabis use as necessary, but adult-use as “still a violation of federal law.” At the present time, the distinction between “medical marijuana” and “adult-use marijuana” does not exist under U.S. federal law. Update on Verano Litigation (Note 16) On October 21, 2022, Vireo Growth commenced an action in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Verano Holdings Corp. ("Verano") after Verano repudiated the Arrangement Agreement with the Company dated January 31, 2022. The Company is seeking damages, costs and interest, based on Verano's breach of contract and of its duty of good faith and honest performance. On May 2, 2024, the Company filed a Notice of Application (the "Summary Trial Application") with the Supreme Court of British Columbia seeking summary determination. The Company is seeking substantial damages, specifically $860.9 million, as well as other costs and legal fees, based on Verano’s breach of contract and of its duty of good faith and honest performance. On June 19, 2024, Verano filed a Notice of Application (the “Preliminary Suitability Application”) seeking orders dismissing the Summary Trial Application on the basis that certain issues in the action are not suitable for summary determination. The Preliminary Suitability Application is currently set for hearing on June 15 and 16, 2025. Due to uncertainties inherent in litigation, it is not possible for Vireo Growth to predict the timing or final outcome of the legal proceedings against Verano or to determine the amount of damages, if any, that may be awarded. Merger Agreements with Deep Roots, Proper and Wholesome On December 18, 2024, we entered into the Merger Agreements with respect the Mergers. Each Merger is an all-share transaction whereby, at the closing of each applicable transaction, (i) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company would merge with and into Deep Roots, (ii) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company would merge with and into Wholesome, and (ii) the Proper entities would each merge with and into new wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. None of the Deep Roots Merger, the Proper Mergers or the Wholesome Merger is contingent on the completion of any of the other Mergers (Note 3). |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 4, 2025, (the "Annual Financial Statements"). There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies. Basis of presentation The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company. The information included in these statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the financial data presented includes all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Results of interim periods should not be considered indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Basis of consolidation These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following entities wholly owned, or effectively controlled by the Company during the period ended March 31, 2025:
The entities listed are wholly owned or effectively controlled by the Company and have been formed or acquired to support the intended operations of the Company, and all intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements None. Net loss per share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing reported net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reported period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock of the Company during the reporting period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and the number of potential dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of vested share options and the incremental shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock units. In computing diluted earnings per share, common share equivalents are not considered in periods in which a net loss is reported, as the inclusion of the common share equivalents would be anti-dilutive. The Company recorded a net loss for the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, presented in these financial statements, and as such there is no difference between the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share for these periods. The anti-dilutive shares outstanding for the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:
Revenue Recognition The Company’s primary source of revenue is from wholesale of cannabis products to dispensary locations and direct retail sales to eligible customers at Company-owned dispensaries. Substantially all of the Company’s retail revenue is from the direct sale of cannabis products to adult-use and medical customers. The following table represents the Company’s disaggregated revenue by source:
New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted None. |

Business Combinations and Dispositions | 3. Business Combinations and Dispositions Acquisitions On December 18, 2024, Vireo Growth Inc. (the “Company”), entered into Merger Agreements with respect to a business combination with each of (i) Deep Roots Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Deep Roots”) (the “Deep Roots Merger”); (ii) Proper Holdings Management, Inc. and NGH Investments, Inc., both Missouri corporations (together, “Proper”) (the “Proper Mergers”); and (iii) WholesomeCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Wholesome”) (the “Wholesome Merger” and, collectively with the Deep Roots Merger and the Proper Mergers, the “Mergers”). Each Merger is an all-share transaction whereby, at the closing of each applicable transaction, (i) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company would merge with and into Deep Roots, (ii) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company would merge with and into Wholesome, and (ii) the Proper entities would each merge with and into new wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. None of the Deep Roots Merger, the Proper Mergers or the Wholesome Merger is contingent on the completion of any of the other Mergers. As of March 31, 2025, none of the Merger Transactions have closed, and as such, no financial results of the single-state operators have been presented or consolidated herein. The consideration to be paid to acquire each of Deep Roots, Proper and Wholesome is based, in each case, in part on an estimated multiple of a 2024 “Reference EBITDA”, which is pro-forma for pending acquisitions as well as planned new retail openings and expansion projects, and a US$0.52 share reference price for the Company’s subordinate voting shares.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreements, former stockholders of each of Deep Roots, Proper and Wholesome may qualify for earnout payments made with the Company’s subordinate voting shares following December 31, 2026, based on each target’s Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the applicable Merger Agreement) growth compared to such target’s Reference EBITDA (at a 4x multiple), adjusted for incremental debt and certain other matters, respectively, and paid out using a share price for the Company’s subordinate voting shares of the higher of US$1.05 or the 20-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s subordinate voting shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange, converted to United States Dollars based on the average exchange rate posted by the Bank of Canada as of the end of each trading day during such 20-day period, as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P. (“VWAP”) as of December 31, 2026. Reference EBITDA for Deep Roots, Proper and Wholesome are US$31.0 million, US$31.0 million, and US$16.0 million, respectively. EBITDA growth is defined as the increase between Reference EBITDA and the higher of 2026 Adjusted EBITDA or trailing nine-month annualized Adjusted EBITDA as of December 31, 2026. In no event shall the number of earnout shares issued under each Merger Agreement exceed the number of shares issued as closing merger consideration in each Merger Agreement.
Each of the Merger Agreements provides for the clawback of up to 50% of the upfront merger consideration (excluding, in the case of Proper and Wholesome, the amounts attributable to Arches, as defined below) on December 31, 2026, if, in each case, (a) 2026 Adjusted EBITDA underperforms 96.5% of the Reference EBITDA, and (b) retail revenue market share or EBITDA margin for 2026 is less (or lower) than 2024 and (c) the 20-day VWAP as of December 31, 2026 is greater than US$1.05 per share. The amount of shares subject to a clawback would be equal to the Acquisition Multiple (as defined in each Merger Agreement) for each of Deep Roots, Proper and Wholesome, respectively, multiplied by the EBITDA shortfall, and subject to certain other adjustments set forth in the applicable Merger Agreement, divided by US$0.52 per share, not to exceed 50% of the upfront consideration. In connection with the Wholesome Merger Agreement (as defined herein) and Proper Merger Agreement (as defined herein), the Company will include in the stock merger consideration calculation an amount equal to (i) US$11,860,800 for the stockholders of Wholesome and (ii) US$2,139,200 for the stockholders of Proper for all of the outstanding equity interests in Arches IP, Inc. (“Arches”) owned by Wholesome and Proper, respectively. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Wholesome Merger Agreement and the Proper Merger Agreement, each of Wholesome, Proper and Arches option holders are collectively entitled to earnout payments based on performance of Arches, based on the greater of US$37.5 million or 5x certain revenue percentages of Arches, with such revenue percentage amounts measured at the higher of trailing-twelve-month or nine-month annualized amounts as of December 31, 2026, paid out using a share price for the Company’s subordinate voting shares at the higher of US$1.05 or 20-day VWAP as of December 31, 2026. In connection with each of the Merger Agreements, the Company will enter into an Investor Rights Agreement with the persons receiving the Company’s subordinate voting shares in the Mergers. Each Investor Rights Agreement will require the Company in certain circumstances to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement covering the resale of the Company’s subordinate voting shares issued pursuant to the Merger Agreements, in each case following the expiration of the initial 12 month lock-up period following the closing of the transactions under each Merger Agreement. Each Investor Rights Agreement will also provide such persons with certain piggyback registration rights in certain circumstances.
The closing of each of the Mergers is subject to closing conditions and contained in the Merger Agreements. Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), a Schedule 14C information statement dated March 21, 2025, was prepared by the Company and filed with the SEC and mailed to the stockholders of the Company relating to stockholder approval of the issuance of the Company’s subordinate voting shares in the Mergers and approvals required under the rules of the Canadian Stock Exchange, which was obtained by written consent of the stockholders. Assets Held for Sale As of March 31, 2025, the Company identified property and equipment, deposits, and lease assets and liabilities associated with the businesses in New York, Nevada, and Massachusetts with carrying amounts that are expected to be recovered principally through sale or disposal rather than through continuing use. The sale of these assets and liabilities is highly probable, they can be sold in their immediate condition, and the sales are expected to occur within the next twelve months. As such, these assets and liabilities have been classified as “held for sale.” Management does not believe these divestitures represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results, and as such, none of these divestitures are considered a discontinued operation. The carrying value of these net assets did not exceed fair value less expected cost to sell, and as such, the Company recorded no impairment loss. Assets and liabilities held for sale are as follows:
Current assets and liabilities held by our New York business have not been classified as held for sale. Pre-tax operating losses attributable to the New York business were $4,859,841 and $3,698,934 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. |

Fair Value Measurements | |
Fair Value Measurements | 4. Fair Value Measurements The Company complies with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis The Company’s non-financial assets, such as prepayments and other current assets, long lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. No indicators of impairment existed as of March 31, 2025, and therefore no impairment charges were recorded. The carrying value of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature, and the carrying value of notes receivable, long-term debt, and convertible debt approximates fair value as they bear a market rate of interest. The carrying value of the Company’s warrants held utilize Level 3 inputs given there is no market activity for the asset. The inputs used are further described in Note 18. |

The Company capitalized into inventory $545,262 and $560,180 relating to depreciation associated with manufacturing equipment and production facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The capitalized depreciation costs associated are added to inventory and expensed through cost of sales product cost on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, in conjunction with the Company’s held for sale assessment and disposal of certain long-lived assets, the Company evaluated whether property and equipment showed any indicators of impairment, and it was determined that the recoverable amount of certain net assets was above book value.

On November 27, 2024, the Company and lender executed the second amendment to the note. Per the terms of the amendment, the maturity date was extended, the interest rate was increased to 18%, and the Company repaid $100,000 in principal. The remaining principal balance of $900,000 was repaid in full during the three months ended March 31, 2025. On March 25, 2021, the Company entered into a credit agreement for a senior secured delayed draw term loan with an aggregate principal amount of up to $46,000,000 (the “Credit Facility”), and executed a draw of $26,000,000 in principal. The unpaid principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate of (a) the U.S. prime rate plus 10.375%, payable monthly in cash, and (b) 2.75% per annum paid in kind (“PIK”) interest payable monthly. In connection with the Credit Facility, the Company also pays a monthly credit monitoring fee in the amount of $130,400 which is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. On November 18, 2021, the Company and lenders amended the Credit Facility to provide for an additional loan of $4,200,000 with a cash interest rate of 15% per annum and PIK interest of 2% per annum and a maturity date of November 29, 2024. Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. On January 31, 2022, Vireo Growth and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (collectively, “Borrowers”), entered into a Third Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Third Amendment”) providing for additional delayed draw term loans of up to $55 million (the “Delayed Draw Loans”). The cash interest rate on the Delayed Draw Loans under the Third Amendment is equal to the U.S. prime rate plus 10.375%, with a minimum required rate of 13.375% per annum, in addition to PIK interest of 2.75% per annum. On March 31, 2023, the Company executed a fifth amendment to its Credit Facility with its senior secured lender, Chicago Atlantic Admin, LLC (the "Agent"), an affiliate of Green Ivy Capital, and a group of lenders. The amended credit facility extends the maturity date on its Delayed Draw Loans to April 30, 2024, through the issuance of 15,000,000 Subordinate Voting Shares in lieu of a cash extension fee. These 15,000,000 shares were valued at $1,407,903 using a fair value per share of $0.094 and considered a deferred financing cost. The fair value per share reflects a 22% discount to the market price at the time of issuance to account for the four-month trading lock-up imposed on the shares. The amendment also provides the Company with reduced cash outlays by eliminating required amortization of the loan, and requires the Company to divest certain assets to improve its liquidity position and financial performance. The Company has the potential to extend the maturity date on its Delayed Draw Loans up to January 31, 2026 with the satisfaction of certain financial performance-related conditions. On April 30, 2024, the Company executed a short-term extension of the maturity date on the Credit Facility with the Agent. The Credit Facility was extended until June 14, 2024, matching all other terms of the existing agreement. On June 14, 2024, another short-term extension was executed which extended the maturity date on the Credit Facility to July 31, 2024, matching all other terms of the existing agreement. On May 21, 2024 the Company executed a $1,200,000 term loan with the Agent to assist with the purchase of a site for a new dispensary location. The loan bears an interest rate of 12.0% and is due on May 28, 2027. Financing costs of $68,600 were incurred in connection with the closing of the loan. On July 31, 2024, the Company executed a ninth amendment to the Company’s Credit Facility. The ninth amendment to the Company’s Credit Facility extends the maturity date on the Credit Facility loans to January 29, 2027, adjusts and extends the deadline with respect to the Company’s ongoing disposition of its New York operations through July 31, 2025, and amends certain financial measure definitions and covenants within the agreement. The Company issued 12,500,000 Subordinate Voting Shares to the lenders in consideration for the credit facility amendment. These 12,500,000 shares were valued at $5,387,500 using a fair value per share of $0.431 and considered a deferred financing cost. Unless otherwise specified, all deferred financing costs are treated as a contra-liability, to be netted against the outstanding loan balance and amortized over the remaining life of the loan. As of March 31, 2025, $5,704,752 (December 31, 2024 - $6,576,985) of deferred financing costs remain unamortized. The following table shows a summary of the Company’s long-term debt:

On November 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Joinder and Tenth Amendment to Credit Agreement. The Tenth Amendment provides a convertible note facility (the “New Convertible Notes”) with a maximum principal amount of $10,000,000. The New Convertible Notes mature November 1, 2027, have a cash interest rate of 12.0 percent per year, are convertible into that number of the Company’s subordinate voting shares determined by dividing the outstanding principal amount plus all accrued but unpaid interest on the Convertible Notes on the date of such conversion by a conversion price of $0.625. The Company incurred $145,717 in financing costs in connection with the signing of the Tenth Amendment. All deferred financing costs are treated as a contra-liability, to be netted against the outstanding loan balance and amortized over the remaining life of the loan.

Stock-Based Compensation | 15. Stock-Based Compensation Stock Options In January 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan under which the Company may grant incentive stock options, restricted shares, restricted share units, or other awards. Under the terms of the plan, a total of ten percent of the number of shares outstanding assuming conversion of all super voting shares and Multiple Voting Shares to Subordinate Voting Shares are permitted to be issued. The exercise price for incentive stock options issued under the plan will be set by the Compensation Committee but will not be less 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s shares on the date of grant. Incentive stock options have a maximum term of 10 years from the date of grant. The incentive stock options vest at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Options granted under the equity incentive plan were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
Stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and for the year ended December 31, 2024, is presented below:
During the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $172,721 and $86,732 in stock-based compensation relating to stock options, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options awards granted was $617,196. In addition, the weighted average period over which the unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized is approximately 1.8 years. The total intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and exercisable as of March 31, 2025, was $4,382,709 and $4,183,499, respectively. The Company does not estimate forfeiture rates when calculating compensation expense. The Company records forfeitures as they occur. Warrants Subordinate Voting Share (SVS) warrants entitle the holder to purchase one Subordinate Voting Share of the Company. A summary of the warrants outstanding is as follows:
Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) The expense associated with RSUs is based on the closing share price of the Company’s subordinate voting shares on the business day immediately preceding the grant date, adjusted for the absence of future dividends and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the periods during which the restrictions lapse. The Company currently has RSUs that vest over a three year period. The awards are generally subject to forfeiture in the event of termination of employment. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $1,288,129 and $93,057, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs.

Commitments and Contingencies | 16. Commitments and Contingencies Legal proceedings Verano On January 31, 2022, the Company entered into the Arrangement Agreement with Verano, pursuant to which Verano was to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Vireo Growth pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, holders of Vireo Growth Shares would receive 0.22652 of a Verano Subordinate Voting Share, subject to adjustment as described below, for each Subordinate Voting Share held, and 22.652 Verano Subordinate Voting Shares for each Multiple Voting Share and Super Voting Share held, immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement.
On October 13, 2022, Vireo Growth received a notice of purported termination of the Arrangement Agreement (the “Notice”) from Verano. The Notice asserted certain breaches of the Arrangement Agreement, including claims the Company’s public filings and communications with respect to its business and ongoing operations were misleading and that the Company breached its representations to Verano under the Arrangement Agreement. Verano also claimed, as a result of such breaches, it is entitled to payment of a $14,875,000 termination fee and its transaction expenses. Vireo Growth denies all of Verano’s allegations and affirmatively asserts that it has complied with its obligations under the Arrangement Agreement, and with its disclosure obligations under US and Canadian law, in all material respects at all times. The Company believes that Verano has no factual or legal basis to justify or support its purported termination of the Arrangement Agreement, which the Company determined to treat as a repudiation of the Arrangement Agreement.
On October 21, 2022, Vireo Growth commenced an action in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Verano after Verano wrongfully repudiated the Arrangement Agreement. The Company is seeking damages, costs and interest, based on Verano's breach of contract and of its duty of good faith and honest performance.
On November 14, 2022, Verano filed counterclaims against the Company for the termination fee and transaction expenses described above.
On July 31, 2023, the Company filed a requisition for adjournment of its application filed July 14, 2023, and set for hearing on July 31, 2023 to compel Verano’s compliance with document production based upon the Company’s belief that Verano was engaging in tactics to delay the litigation.
Throughout 2023, the Company served 4 lists of documents, reviewed document production from Verano, and prepared for examinations for discovery. On May 2, 2024, the Company filed the Summary Trial Application the Supreme Court of British Columbia for summary determination. The Company is seeking substantial damages, specifically US $860.9 million, as well as other costs and legal fees, based on Verano’s breach of contract and of its duty of good faith and honest performance.
On June 19, 2024, Verano filed the Preliminary Suitability Application seeking orders dismissing the Summary Trial Application on the basis that certain issues in the action are not suitable for summary determination. The Preliminary Suitability Application is currently set for hearing on June 15 and 16, 2025. Due to uncertainties inherent in litigation, it is not possible for Vireo Growth to predict the timing or final outcome of the legal proceedings against Verano or to determine the amount of damages, if any, that may be awarded. The damages sought will be significant and material given that Verano’s breach left the Company in a vulnerable position resulting in the Company being constrained in its ability to fund growth initiatives that were desirable and that its competitors were able to undertake, most notably in Minnesota and New York markets. Lease commitments The Company leases various facilities, under non-cancelable finance and operating leases, which expire at various dates through September 2041. |

Other Income (Expense) | 18. Other Income (Expense) The CARES Act provides an employee retention credit (“CARES Employee Retention credit”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes of up to $5,000 per employee for eligible employers. The tax credit is equal to 50% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, capped at $10,000 of qualified wages per employee through December 31, 2020. Additional relief provisions were passed by the United States government, which extended and slightly expanded the qualified wage caps on these credits through December 31, 2021. Based on these additional provisions, the tax credit is now equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, and the limit on qualified wages per employee has been increased to $10,000 of qualified wages per quarter. The Company applied for and received the tax credit under the CARES Act. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded and received $972,888 (2024 - $0) related to the CARES Employee Retention credit in other income on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025. On May 25, 2023, the Company and Grown Rogue International, Inc. (“Grown Rogue”) entered into a strategic agreement whereby Grown Rogue will support the Company in the optimization of its cannabis flower products. As part of this strategic agreement Grown Rogue granted the Company 8,500,000 warrants to purchase subordinate voting shares of Grown Rogue on October 5, 2023. Subsequently, on October 9, 2024, the Company and Grown Rogue mutually agreed to terminate the advisory agreement. As part of the termination agreement, the Company forfeited 4,500,000 of the previously granted 8,500,000 warrants. On March 31, 2025, these 4,000,000 warrants were revalued at a fair value of $1,751,906 (December 31, 2024 - $2,270,964). The fair value was derived from a black-scholes valuation using a stock price of $0.52, an exercise price of $0.158, an expected life of 3.52 years, an annual risk free rate of 3.96%, and volatility of 100%. The change in valuation from December 31, 2024, to March 31, 2025, of $519,058 (March 31, 2024 - $1,327,879 of other income) was recorded as other expense in the statement of net loss and comprehensive loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2025.

Segment Reporting | |
Segment Reporting | 19. Segment Reporting The Company utilized the guidance in ASC 280 to determine how many reportable segments the Company has. We considered various attributes of the overall Company including but not limited to the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the types of customers, the regulatory environment, business geography, and the level at which the Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the performance and allocates resources. Given the similarities in the types of products, cannabis products in various form factors, the types of customers, retail and wholesale customers, the geography and regulatory environment in which sales are made, the United States, and the Chief Operating Decision Maker, the Chief Executive Officer, assesses performance and allocates resources at the consolidated level, the Company has determined that it only has one reportable segment, cannabis. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker assesses performance for the cannabis segment and decides how to allocate resources based on operating profit and net income that also is reported on the income statement as consolidated net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet total as consolidated assets. The chief operating decision maker uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding the appropriate capital allocation strategy. A comparison of budgeted results to actual results is also used by the chief operating decision maker to assess business performance. The Company’s cannabis segment cultivates, processes and distributes medical and adult-use cannabis products in a variety of formats, as well as related accessories in the United States. Revenue is derived from the sale of these products in the United States, and the assets used to produce these products are also held in the United States. The accounting policy for recording revenue, and all other accounting policies, are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies footnote (Note 2).

Financial Instruments | |
Financial Instruments | 21. Financial Instruments Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, and accounts receivable. A small portion of cash is held on hand, from which management believes the risk of loss is remote. Receivables relate primarily to wholesale sales. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to customers. The Company’s maximum credit risk exposure is equivalent to the carrying value of these instruments. The Company has been granted licenses pursuant to the laws of the states of Maryland, Minnesota, and New York with respect to cultivating, processing, and/or distributing marijuana. Presently, this industry is illegal under United States federal law. The Company has adhered, and intends to continue to adhere, strictly to the applicable state statutes in its operations. Liquidity risk The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s financial liabilities consist of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, debt, convertible debt, liabilities held for sale, and uncertain tax liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk by reviewing its capital requirements on an ongoing basis. Historically, the Company’s main source of funding has been additional funding from investors and debt issuances. The Company’s access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity or debt financing. Legal Risk Vireo Growth operates in the United States. The U.S. federal government regulates drugs through the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811), which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug. Under U.S. federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the U.S., and a lack of accepted safety for the use of the drug under medical supervision. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved marijuana as a safe and effective drug for any indication. In the U.S. marijuana is largely regulated at the state level. State laws regulating cannabis are in direct conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes cannabis use and possession federally illegal. Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency rates. Given the Company’s financial transactions are rarely denominated in a foreign currency, there is minimal foreign currency risk exposure. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company currently carries variable interest-bearing debt subject to fluctuations in the United States Prime rate. A change of 100 basis points in interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2025, would have resulted in a corresponding change in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss of $140,878.

Net loss per share | Net loss per share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing reported net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reported period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock of the Company during the reporting period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and the number of potential dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of vested share options and the incremental shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock units. In computing diluted earnings per share, common share equivalents are not considered in periods in which a net loss is reported, as the inclusion of the common share equivalents would be anti-dilutive. The Company recorded a net loss for the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, presented in these financial statements, and as such there is no difference between the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share for these periods. The anti-dilutive shares outstanding for the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:
