BASIS OF PRESENTATION [Text Block]

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These consolidated financial statements have been presented in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company has determined that the United States dollar is the most relevant and appropriate reporting currency as, despite continuing shifts in the relative size of our operations across multiple geographies, the majority of our operations are conducted in United States dollars and our financial results are prepared and reviewed internally by management in United States dollars.

Prior to January 1, 2023, Flora was a foreign private issuer reporting its financial statements under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standard Boards. These consolidated financial statements, for all periods, are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Going concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue one year after the date these financial statements are issued and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

Pursuant to the requirements of ASC Topic 205-40, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, management must evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these financial statements are issued. This evaluation does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of management's plans that have not been fully implemented or are not within control of the Company as of the date the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists under this methodology, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management's plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

The Company had cash of $4.4 million at December 31, 2023, net loss of $56.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, and an accumulated deficit of $142.5 million at December 31, 2023. Current economic and market conditions have put pressure on the Company's growth plans. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional capital. The Company believes that its current level of cash is not sufficient to continue investing in growth, while at the same time meeting its obligations as they become due. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. To alleviate these conditions, management is currently evaluating various cost reductions and other alternatives and may seek to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, debt securities, through arrangements with strategic partners, through obtaining credit from financial institutions, through the disposition of assets or otherwise. The actual amount that the Company may be able to raise under these alternatives will depend on market conditions and other factors. As it seeks additional sources of financing, there can be no assurance that such financing would be available to the Company on favorable terms or at all. The Company's ability to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity capital markets is subject to several factors, including but not limited to market and economic conditions, the Company's performance and investor sentiment with respect to it and its industry. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments for the recovery and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Presentation of comparative financial statements

On June 9, 2023, the Company consolidated its issued and outstanding common shares based on one new common share of the Company for every twenty existing common shares of the Company. All common shares and per share amounts have been restated to give retroactive effect to the share consolidation. See discussion in Note 15.

Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are entities the Company controls when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement in the entity and can affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the date of acquisition up to the date of disposition or loss of control. As at December 31, 2023, the Company had the following subsidiaries:

On July 5, 2023, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Lisan Farma Colombia LLC ("Lisan"), a Delaware limited liability company, to sell all of its shares in certain Colombian companies and other Flora assets related to its Colombian operations for a purchase price of CAD $0.8 million (USD $0.6 million).

The results of these subsidiaries are included in discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. See discussion in Note 5.

 Hemp Textiles & Co. LLC

 Keel Brand Corp.

 Flora Growth F&B Corp

 Flora Growth Management Corp.

 Masaya Holding Corp.

Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying values of trade and amounts receivable, indemnification receivables, prepaids and other current assets, and trade and other payables, accrued liabilities, current portion of long term debt, and current portion of lease liability approximate their fair values due to their short periods to maturity. The Company calculates the estimated fair value of financial instruments, including investments, and contingent consideration, using quoted market prices when available. When quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available and may include quoted market prices, market comparable, and discounted cash flow projections.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars ("$") unless otherwise noted.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
