Interim Unaudited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Expressed in United States dollars

 

 

1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern

 

SMAART Holdings Inc. (“SMAART” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on April 28, 2015. SMAART owns a Nevada, USA subsidiary, SMAART Holdings Corp., which in turn owns the following subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”):

 

a)Empower Healthcare Corporation (“Empower”) is an Oregon based corporation that, through its clinics in Oregon, and Washington State, provides physician services to patients in those states. Empower acquired the operations of Presto Quality Care Corporation (“Presto”) on July 12, 2015.

 

b)SMAART Inc. is an Oregon based company that currently does not have an active business.

 

c)The Hemp and Cannabis Company (“THCC Oregon”) and The Hemp and Cannabis Company Access Points Oregon (“THCF Access Points Oregon”), These are Oregon companies that currently do not have active businesses.

 

d)The Hemp and Cannabis Company (“THCC Washington”) and The Hemp and Cannabis Company Access Points Washington (“THCF Access Points Washington”), Washington companies that currently do not have active businesses.

 

e)CanMed Solutions Inc., is an Oregon corporation that was incorporated on January 27, 2017. The Company does not have an active business.

 

During the period covered by these financial statements, the business of SMAART and its subsidiaries was limited to the provision of physician services through Empower in the states listed above.

 

At June 30, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $3,175,986 (2017 - $5,278,030) has not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $10,334,214 (2017 - $5,580,023). The Company has limited revenues and the ability of the Company to ensure continuing operations is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise sufficient funds to finance development activities and expand sales. These circumstances represent a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and ultimately the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles applicable to a going concern and do not reflect adjustments, which could be material, to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities. See note 20 for subsequent events.

 

2. Basis of presentation:

 

a)        Statement of compliance

 

The Company applies International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.

 

b)        Basis of presentation

 

These financial statements have been prepared on the historical costs basis except instruments that are measured at fair value, as detailed in the Company’s accounting policies.

 

c)        Functional and presentation currency

 

The Company’s functional currency, as determined by management is the US dollar. These financial statements are presented in US dollars.

2. Basis of Presentation (continued):

 

d)        Use of estimates and judgements

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates

 

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the statement of financial position date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in the event that actual results differ from the assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to the following:

 

i)The inputs used in accounting for share based payments in the consolidate statements of operations and comprehensive loss;

 

ii)The inputs used in assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets to the extent that the deductible temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and that the Company will have future taxable income; and

 

iii)The bifurcation of the convertible debt into liability and equity components and the determination of a market rate of interest.

 

Significant judgments used in the preparation of these financial statements include, but are not limited to those relating to the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, useful life of fixed assets, impairment of assets and valuation of the acquisition of the assets of Presto.

 

3. Significant Accounting Policies:

 

a)    Basis of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the subsidiaries.

 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed, or has the rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. All significant inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation

 

b)    Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for services rendered, stated net of discounts. The Company recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Company's activities, as described below. The Company recognizes revenue from the rendering of patient services in the accounting period in which the physicians services are rendered.

 

c)    Clinic Expenses

 

The Company includes the costs of medical personal and the travel costs related to the travel medical clinics in Direct Clinic Expenses. The Company includes all other costs related to the clinics including the administrative and overhead costs of running the clinics in Clinic Operating Costs.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

d)    Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Amortization is provided using the following terms and method:

 

Building Straight-line 15 years

 

Farm Equipment Straight-line 3 years

 

Farm Furniture Straight-line 5 years

 

Computer software and equipment Straight-line 3 years

 

Office equipment and furniture Straight-line 3 years

 

An asset’s residual value, useful life and amortization method are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate. When parts of an item of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of equipment. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the equipment and are recognized in profit or loss.

 

e)    Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets, including equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at each statement of financial position date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the cash generating unit, or “CGU”). The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is the higher of its fair value, less costs to sell, and its value in use. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment charge is recognized immediately in profit or loss by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lesser of the revised estimate of recoverable amount, and the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized previously.

 

Intangible assets with a finite useful life are stated in historical cost, less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical costs includes all costs directly attributable to the acquisition. The patient records, trademarks, domain names and management software are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of five years. Estimated useful lives and the amortization method are reviewed annually with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

 

f)     Income taxes

 

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in shareholders’ equity, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in shareholders’ equity.

 

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous years.

 

The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities for accounting purposes, and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in statutory tax rates is recognized in profit or loss in the year of change. Deferred tax assets are recorded when their recoverability is considered probable and are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

g)  Loss per common share, basic and diluted

 

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its common shares. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which comprise warrants and share options issued. Items with an anti-dilutive impact are excluded from the calculation. The number of shares included with respect to options, warrants and similar instruments is computed using the treasury stock method.

 

h)  Financial instruments

 

The Company classifies its financial assets and liabilities depending on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired, their characteristics, and management intent.

 

Transaction costs 

Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

Financial assets 

The Company initially recognizes financial assets at fair value on the date that they are acquired, adjusted for transaction costs, if applicable. All financial assets (including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognized initially on the date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability. The Company classifies its financial assets as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss or loans and receivables. A financial asset is classified at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss if the Company manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss. Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognized initially at adjusted fair value, adjusted for applicable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial instrument and of allocating interest over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

 

Financial liabilities 

The Company initially recognizes financial liabilities at fair value on the date that they are originated, and are adjusted for transaction costs, if applicable. All financial liabilities (including liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognized initially on the date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. The Company classifies its financial liabilities as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss or other liabilities. Subsequent to initial recognition other liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities at fair value are stated at fair value with changes being recognized in profit or loss.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

Impairment of financial assets

 

Financial assets, other than those classified at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, and that the loss event (events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably estimated.

 

The amount of the impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The asset’s carrying amount is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

i)    Valuation of Equity Units issued in Private Placements

 

The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the most easily measurable component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. The fair value of the common shares issued in private placements is determined to be the more easily measurable.

 

Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise convertible debt that can be converted to share capital at the option of the holder. The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity convertible option. The equity component is recognized initially as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition. Interest, dividends, losses and gains relating to the financial liability are recognized in profit or loss.

 

j)    Assets Held for Sale

 

Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held for sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured as the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

 

k)  Related party transactions

 

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence, related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transactions when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

l) Convertible Debenture

 

The convertible debentures were determined to be compound instruments, comprising liability and equity (common shares and warrants). As the debentures are convertible into common shares, the liability and equity components are presented separately. The initial carrying amount of the equity component of the convertible debentures is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value the equity component at the grant date. Using the residual method, the carrying amount of the financial liability component is the difference between the principal amount and the initial carrying value of the equity component. The equity component, and any associated warrants recognized on conversion of the convertible debenture are recorded in reserves on the statement of financial position. The debentures, net of the equity components are accreted using the effective interest rate method over the term of the debentures, such that the carrying amount of the financial liability will equal the principal balance at maturity.

 

m)  Business Combinations

 

Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Company, if any, at the date control is obtained. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs, other than share and debt issue costs incurred to issue financial instruments that form part of the consideration transferred, are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair value at the acquisition date. If a business combination is achieved in stages, the Company remeasures its previously held interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and recognizes the resulting gain or loss, if any, in net income. Contingent consideration is classified as a provision and is measured at fair value, with subsequent changes recognized in income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured until it is finally settled within equity. New information obtained during the measurement period, up to 12 months following the acquisition date, about facts and circumstances existing at the acquisition date affect the acquisition accounting.

 

4. New standards, Amendments and Interpretations

 

A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued but have not yet been applied in preparing these financial statements, as set out below:

 

·IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The complete version of IFRS 9 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the guidance in IAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) and fair value through profit or loss. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss with the irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair value in OCI not recycling. There is now a new expected credit losses model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in IAS 39. For financial liabilities, there were no changes to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income, for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company adopted this standard during the period and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

4. New standards, Amendments and Interpretations (continued)

 

·IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of goods or services and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the goods or services. The standard replaces IAS 18, Revenue, and IAS 11, Construction Contracts, and related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company has adopted this standard during the period and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements

 

A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued but have not yet been applied in preparing these financial statements, as set out below:

 

·In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases, which will replace IAS 17, Leases. Under IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Under IAS 17, lessees were required to make a distinction between a finance lease and an operating lease. IFRS 16 now requires lessees to recognize a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a right-of-use asset for virtually all lease contracts. There is an optional exemption for certain short-term leases and leases of low value assets; however, this exemption can only be applied by lessees. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier application if IFRS 15 is also applied.

14.       Capital management

 

Capital is comprised of the Company’s shareholder’s equity and any debt it may issue. As at June 30, 2018, the Company’s shareholders’ equity was $(2,639,126). (December 31, 2017 $(4,806,862). The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its accumulated capital in order to provide adequate return to shareholders by maintaining a sufficient level of funds, in order to support its ongoing activities. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

 

The Company is dependent on cash flows generated from its clinical operations and from external financing to fund its activities. The Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

 

15.       Financial risk management

 

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

 

Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

 

At June 30, 2018, the Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible debt, notes payable and amounts due to related parties. The fair values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and amounts due to related parties approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term to maturity. The Company classifies its cash as FVTPL and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible debt, notes payable and due to related parties as other financial liabilities. The fair value of cash is based on level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

 

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

15. Financial risk management (continued)

 

Credit risk 

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist principally of cash. To minimize the credit risk the Company places these instruments with a high credit quality financial institution.

 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company typically settles its financial obligations out of cash. As at June 30, 2018, the Company had a cash balance of Nil and current liabilities of $3,677,471. (December 31, 2017 Nil and $5,436,664 respectively). The Company’s current resources are not sufficient to settle its current liabilities.

 

The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due in the short term. The Company’s notes payable are due on demand.

 

Interest rate risk 

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.

 

16.        Commitments

 

The Company has lease commitments as follows:

 

Fiscal 2018  $115,021 
Fiscal 2019  $214,616 
Fiscal 2020  $46,820 

 

17.        Contingent liabilities

 

The Company is involved in a number of legal actions with the former President and director of its subsidiary companies (the “Litigant”) following the termination for cause of the Litigant in June 2016.

 

In one action, as the Litigant refused to comply with the termination, the Company received a temporary restraining order (“TRO”) requiring the Litigant to comply with the termination and cease using company property. Later, following a full evidentiary hearing, the court issued a preliminary injunction consistent with the TRO. In June 2017, the Litigant, filed counterclaims against the company and its subsidiaries. The Litigant’s counterclaims broadly allege that his written agreements with the Company and its subsidiaries were induced by fraud or mistake. He claims he believed he was promised that he would own 50% of the Company in perpetuity, and that his lack of control over the Corporation and its subsidiaries has caused him economic harm in the amount of $10 million. The Litigant seeks money damages or rescission of the agreements. The Company and its subsidiaries are prosecuting their claims against the Litigant, and are vigorously defending against all of his counterclaims.

 

In a second action, the Litigant filed a lawsuit on behalf of The Hemp and Cannabis Foundation (“THCF”) for rescission of an agreement whereby THCF sold a parcel of residential real estate to one of the subsidiaries, The Hemp and Cannabis Company (“THCC”). In that case, THCF claims THCC has failed to make payments on a note. THCF’s lawyer has withdrawn, and THCF has not hired replacement counsel. THCC’s motion to dismiss is pending. THCC is vigorously defending against this.
