Notes to Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Flora Growth Corp.Notes to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statementsFor the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023(In thousands of United States dollars, except shares and per share amounts)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Flora Growth Corp. (the "Company" or "Flora") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada on March 13, 2019. The Company is a manufacturer and distributor of global cannabis and pharmaceutical products and brands, building a connected, design-led collective of plant-based wellness and lifestyle brands. The Company's registered office is located at 365 Bay Street, Suite 800, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2V1, Canada and our principal place of business in the United States is located at 3230 W. Commercial Boulevard, Suite 180, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33309.

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 11.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements apply the same accounting policies as those used in the financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, meaning that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations.

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 unaudited condensed interim 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 unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are issued and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

The Company had cash of $4.2 million at March 31, 2024, net loss of $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and an accumulated deficit of $145.6 million at March 31, 2024. 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 unaudited condensed interim 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 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. The unaudited condensed interim 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.

Basis of consolidation

These unaudited condensed interim 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. At March 31, 2024, the Company's subsidiaries and respective ownership percentage have not changed from the year ended December 31, 2023, except as noted below.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company voluntarily dissolved the Cardiff Brand Corp. U.S. entity. Also during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company signed articles of organization for Just Brands FL LLC, a United States domestic limited liability company, which is 100% owned by the Company and has a functional currency of the United States dollar.

3. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

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 its shares in its Colombian related subsidiaries and its Colombian assets for a purchase price of CAD $0.8 million (USD $0.6 million). The sale relates to all of Flora's operations in Colombia, including its interest in (i) its 361-acre Cosechemos farm located in Giron, Colombia and its related processing facilities and inventory and (ii) all other assets relating to Flora Lab 2, Flora Lab 4 and Flora's Colombian food and beverage and consumer products business. The Company received proceeds of CAD $0.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 which completed the sale and transfer of Flora Growth Corp Colombia S.A.S, Flora Lab S.A.S., Flora Med S.A.S., Labcofarm Laboratorios S.A.S., Kasa Wholefoods Company S.A.S., Flora Growth Corp. Sucursal Colombia and Flora Beauty LLC Sucursal Colombia. The Company and Lisan completed the sale of Cosechemos Ya S.A.S on November 1, 2023.

The sale enabled the Company to concentrate on its core business divisions, which are lifestyle brands in the United States and international pharmaceutical distribution. The sale was part of several strategic changes to cut costs and streamline operations.

The following table summarizes the major classes of line items included in loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

The subsidiaries sold included Cosechemos Ya S.A.S, which was part of the commercial and wholesale segment; Flora Lab S.A.S, Flora Med S.A.S. and Labcofarm Laboratories S.A.S, which were part of the pharmaceuticals segment; Flora Growth Corp Colombia S.A.S., Kasa Wholefoods Company, S.A.S. and Flora Beauty LLC Sucursal Colombia which were part of the house of brands segment.

The Company applies significant judgement in determining whether a disposal meets the criteria to present as held for sale at the reporting date, and whether the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on its operations and financial results in order to be classified as a discontinued operation. The criteria evaluated are both quantitative and qualitative in nature, to evaluate the significance of the disposal relative to the operations of the Company as a whole. The Company has determined this disposition represents a strategic shift in operations that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results, and accordingly, has been presented as discontinued operations.

8. ASSET IMPAIRMENT

As discussed in Note 14, on May 7, 2024, Just Brands agreed to a settlement and general release, whereby Just Brands will remove the products subject to the stop sales orders from the state of Florida and accept a five-year revocation of its food permit in the state of Florida. As a result of this settlement, the Company began negotiations to exit its current warehouse lease in Pompano Beach, FL, and searching for a new warehousing facility in a different state. The Company considered this to be an indicator of impairment and, thus, performed a quantitative analysis as of March 31, 2024 to determine if impairment existed by comparing the carrying amount of the operating lease right of use asset and related leasehold improvements to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate over its remaining life. This analysis indicated the asset values may not be recoverable. The Company then calculated the fair value of this asset using an income approach. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment of operating lease right of use assets and property, plant and equipment within its Vessel asset group within the house of brands segment totaling $0.9 million. These charges were recorded in the asset impairment caption on the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

9. DEBT

Euro credit facility

The Company, through FGH, has credit facilities totaling 4.3 million Euro ($4.6 million USD), at three different banks in Germany. These arrangements are open ended without predetermined maturity dates. Principal and interest payments are due at the end of each term. Interest rates can change with each new amount drawn. As of March 31, 2024, the total outstanding amount on these credit facilities was 2.9 million Euro ($3.1 million USD) with interest rates ranging from 5.45% to 6.44% and due within the next twelve months. These credit facilities were secured by various guarantees, including joint and several guarantees of two managing directors of Phatebo, a subsidiary of FGH, and payment guarantees upon default.

12. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

The Company's 2022 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2022 Plan") and its previous "'rolling" stock option plan (the "Prior Plan") are described in the Company's 2023 Form 10-K.

OPTIONS

Stock options granted under the Prior Plan are non-transferable and non-assignable and may be granted for a term not exceeding five years. Under the 2022 Plan, stock options may be granted with a term of up to ten years and in the case of all stock options, the exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a Common Share on the date the award is granted. Stock option vesting terms are subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. Common shares are newly issued from available authorized shares upon exercise of awards. The Company no longer makes new grants of stock options under the Prior Plan.

Information relating to share options outstanding and exercisable as at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows:

Options Outstanding
Number of options (in thousands) · Weighted average exercise · Weighted average remaining life (years) · Aggregate intrinsic value

The total expense related to the options granted in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was less than $0.1 million (2023 total expense - $0.1 million). This expense is included in the share-based compensation line on the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Generally, the options granted in 2023 vest one to two years following the date of grant provided that the recipient is still employed or engaged by the Company.

At March 31, 2024 the total remaining stock option cost for nonvested awards is $nil.

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

Restricted stock is a grant of common shares which may not be sold or disposed of, and which is subject to such risks of forfeiture and other restrictions as the Committee, in its discretion, may impose. A participant granted restricted stock generally has all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. Subject to certain exceptions, the vesting of restricted stock awards is subject to the holder's continued employment or engagement through the applicable vesting date. Unvested restricted stock awards will be forfeited if the holder's employment or engagement ceases during the vesting period and may, in certain circumstances, be accelerated. The Company values restricted stock awards based on the closing share price of the Company's common shares as of the date of grant. The fair value of the restricted stock award is recorded as expense over the vesting period.

The legal disputes balance as of March 31, 2024, relate to the settlement of a contractual dispute involving the Company. It involves a former shareholder of ACA Mueller, an entity that was part of the Company's acquisition of FGH in December 2022, who filed a statement of claim against a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company in the Constance Regional Court in Germany. In March 2024, the Constance Regional Court in Germany ordered the Company to pay the plaintiff $3.0 million plus interest thereon at arate of 5% above the prime rate since September 6, 2020 in addition to 83% of the legal fees. The Company has since filed an appeal. While the Company believes that this claim is without merit, at this time the Company believes it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the Company is able to reasonably estimate the loss of $4.1 million, including $1.0 million of interest accrued in the three months ended March 31, 2024. As a result, without acknowledgement (explicitly or implicitly) of any amount of liability arising from this claim, the Company recognized a provision of $4.1 million to reflect the value of the claim. This dispute is covered under an indemnification agreement between the Company and the former Chief Executive Officer and shareholder of FGH. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself through appropriate legal proceedings. The $4.1 million is recorded within contingencies and within indemnification receivables on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

The settlement of legal disputes in 2024 related to the settlement of an action brought against the Company in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice by Gerardo Andres Garcia Mendez claiming that the Company was obligated to issue 3,000,000 common shares (pre-splits) to him for a purchase price of $0.05 per share as a result of alleged consulting services he performed in 2019. In December 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Mr. Garcia Mendez pursuant to which the Company will pay less than $0.1 million to Mr. Garcia Mendez to settle the dispute. The payment was made in January 2024. The amount was recorded within contingencies on the consolidated statements of financial position and expense on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2023.

On April 30, 2024, a group representing the sellers of Just Brands LLC to Flora in February 2022 brought an action against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York claiming that the Company failed to promptly issue additional shares in accordance with a specific formula set forth in the securities purchase agreement after the two-year anniversary of the closing, which occurred on February 24, 2024. The plaintiffs claim that they are entitled to 182,889 common shares and $38.0 million to complete the acquisition of Just Brands LLC. The Company has assessed the claims and concluded that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and that the Company is able to reasonably estimate the loss based on the fair value of 632,484 common shares of the Company. As at March 31, 2024, this value is $1.5 million and has been recorded in the contingent purchase considerations on the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position.

The Sales tax relates to estimated amounts owed to certain jurisdictions in the Unites States for sales from the Company's JustCBD operations. The ending balance is recorded within contingencies on the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position, and additions to the provision as a reduction of revenue on the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Legal proceedings

The Company records liabilities for legal proceedings in those instances where it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss and where liability is probable. The Company is engaged from time-to-time in various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The outcome of all the proceedings and claims against the Company is subject to future resolution, including the uncertainties of litigation. Based on information currently known to the Company and after consultation with outside legal counsel, management believes that the probable ultimate resolution of any such proceedings and claims, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company, taken as a whole as at March 31, 2024.

On November 1, 2023, Just Brands filed an Emergency Complaint for Declaratory Judgment and Injunctive Relief in the Southern District of Florida against the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (the "Department") stemming from stop sale orders issued by the Department whereby the Department prohibited Just Brands from selling and moving most of its products. Relying on Florida Statute Section 581.217, which includes the definition of "attractive to children," the Department determined Just Brand's product could not be sold or moved because the products were manufactured in the shape of humans, cartoons, or animals; in a form that bears a reasonable resemblance to an existing candy product; and containing color additives. The Court ruled in favor of the Department and that Order was being appealed to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Since then, the Department has initiated an Administrative Action claiming Just Brands moved product outside the State of Florida in violation of the stop sale orders. The statute provides for a penalty of up to $5,000 per violation. The Department sought to assess penalties on what they claimed to be a total of 215,154 violations (one for each package). The Company disputed their claim and intended to vigorously defend against this action. The Company has not accrued a liability as of March 31, 2024. The total value of inventory impacted by the stop sale orders was $1.9 million at March 31, 2024. On May 7, 2024, Just Brands and the Department agreed to a settlement and general release, whereby Just Brands will remove the products subject to the stop sales orders from the state of Florida, pay the Department $60,500 to reimburse the Department’s attorney’s fees, and accept a five-year revocation of its food permit in the state of Florida. By signing the release, Just Brands waived, settled and released all claims it had or might have against the Department.

On May 31, 2023, Maria Beatriz Fernandez Otero and Sara Cristina Jacome De Torres brought an action against the Company in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice claiming that the Company is obligated to issue 500,000 common shares (pre-splits) each for a purchase price of $0.05 per share. The plaintiffs claim that they are entitled to such shares as compensation for alleged consulting services performed. The Company disputes their claim and intends to vigorously defend against this action. The Company believes that an unfavorable settlement in this matter is remote, and, as such, has not accrued a liability as of March 31, 2024.

On May 31, 2023, Ramon Ricardo Castellanos Saenz and Miriam Ortiz brought an action against the Company in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice claiming that the Company is obligated to issue 1,500,000 common shares (pre-splits) each for a purchase price of $0.05 per share. The plaintiffs claim that they are entitled to such shares as compensation for alleged consulting services performed. The Company disputes their claim and intends to vigorously defend against this action. The Company believes that an unfavorable settlement in this matter is remote, and, as such, has not accrued a liability as of March 31, 2024.

In connection with the Company's acquisition of FGH, the Company's current CEO and the former Chief Executive Officer of FGH, together with certain affiliated entities under his control, entered into an agreement pursuant to which they agreed to indemnify the Company for certain potential liabilities of FGH and its subsidiaries, up to a maximum of $5.0 million. In addition to the matter regarding the former shareholder of ACA Mueller, discussed above, the following actions are pending as of the date hereof:

On February 3, 2023, an action was brought in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice by Nathan Shantz and Liberacion e Inversiones S.A. against various parties including Clifford Starke, the Company's current CEO and FGH's former Chief Executive Officer, and FGH. The statement of claim alleges that, prior to the closing of the Arrangement,8,831,109 FGH shares purportedly owned by the plaintiffs were wrongfully transferred to third parties, in part through alleged unauthorized steps taken by Mr. Starke. Plaintiffs seek, among other things, a declaration that they are the rightful owners of the shares or, in the alternative, damages. Against FGH, they claim a declaration that, by virtue of the alleged unauthorized transfer of shares, FGH acted oppressively and seek damages in the amount of $4.0 million. The defendants have brought motions to stay the proceedings on the grounds that the Ontario court lacks jurisdiction over the claim. In the event FGH should incur any losses in connection with this matter, such losses are to be indemnified by Mr. Starke subject to the maximum threshold of the indemnity agreement. The Company believes that an unfavorable settlement in this matter is remote, and, as such, has not accrued a liability as of March 31, 2024.

The total amount claimed against the former entities of FGH currently exceeds the maximum $5.0 million of the indemnification agreement. However, the Company is estimating the likelihood of loss in these cases will not exceed $4.1 million.

15. LOSS PER SHARE

The Company calculates basic earnings per share based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, while the calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes all potential common shares if their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect. Restricted stock award recipients under the 2022 Plan have a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends declared by the Company and are therefore included in computing earnings per share.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value

The Company's financial instruments measured at amortized cost as at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consist of cash, trade and amounts receivable, loans receivable, trade payables, contingencies, accrued liabilities, lease liabilities, and debt and loans payable. The amounts reflected in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Financial instruments recorded at the reporting date at fair value are classified into one of three levels based upon the fair value hierarchy. Items are categorized based on inputs used to derive fair value based on:

Flora Growth Corp.Notes to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statementsFor the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023(In thousands of United States dollars, except shares and per share amounts)

Level 1 - quoted prices that are unadjusted 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/liability either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 - inputs for the instruments are not based on any observable market data.

The Company's contingent purchase considerations consist of the estimated fair value of contingent purchase consideration from the acquisitions of JustCBD in February 2022 and Original Hemp in March 2023. The amount for JustCBD is measured at FVPL as a Level 2 fair value financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy as at March 31, 2024. The fair value was determined using a simplified calculation which took the expected shares to be issued (632,484) multiplied by the Company's closing share price at March 31, 2024 ($2.31). The amount for Original Hemp is measured at FVPL as a Level 3 fair value financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy as at March 31, 2024. The fair value was determined using discounted cash flow models utilizing two different rates, high (25.1%) and low (18.4%), to estimate the present value of the future cash outflows. As valuations of investments for which market quotations are not readily available are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate within short periods of time and are based on estimates, determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have resulted if a ready market existed for the investments. Such changes may have a significant impact on the Company's financial condition or operating results.

The following tables present information about the Company's financial instruments and their classifications as at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs utilized to determine such fair value.
