Aphria Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017

(Unaudited - in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)

 

1.              Nature of operations

 

Aphria Inc. (the “Company” or “Aphria”) was continued in Ontario and is licensed to produce and sell medical cannabis under the provisions of the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”). In February 2018, the Company acquired Broken Coast Cannabis Ltd. (“Broken Coast”) (Note 11). Broken Coast is licensed to produce and sell medical cannabis under the provision of the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”). In March 2018, the Company acquired Nuuvera Inc. (“Nuuvera”) (Note 11). Nuuvera is an international organization with a focus on building a global cannabis brand, with operations in Germany, Italy, Spain, Malta, and Lesotho. In July 2018, Aphria Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pure Natures Wellness Inc. (o/a Aphria) amalgamated.

 

1974568 Ontario Ltd. (“Aphria Diamond”) is a 51% majority owned subsidiary of the Company, incorporated in November 2017. This entity is the Company’s venture with Double Diamond Farms. Aphria Diamond has applied for its cultivation licence under the provisions of the ACMPR.

 

The registered office of the Company is located at 5300 Commerce Court West, 199 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario.

 

The Company’s common shares are listed under the symbol “APH” on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and under the symbol “APHQF” on the United States OTCQB Venture Market exchange.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on October 11, 2018.

 

2.              Basis of preparation

 

(a)                 Statement of compliance

 

The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended May 31, 2018, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and Interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee.

 

(b)                 Basis of measurement

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value and biological assets that are measured at fair value less costs to sell, as detailed in the Company’s accounting policies.

 

(c)                  Functional currency

 

The Company and its subsidiaries’ functional currency, as determined by management, is Canadian dollars. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars.

 

(d)                 Foreign currency translation

 

All figures presented in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are reflected in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and all of its subsidiaries.

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates in effect on the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Canadian dollars at the foreign exchange rate applicable at the statement of financial position date. Realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses are recognized through profit and loss.

 

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including marketable securities, long-term investments and promissory notes payable, are translated in Canadian dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expenses, and cash flows of foreign

(Unaudited - in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)

 

operations are translated into Canadian dollars using average exchange rates. Exchange differences resulting from translating foreign operations are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.

 

(e)                  Basis of consolidation

 

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly and indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity and be exposed to the variable returns from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

(1) The Company defines ownership interest as the interest in which the Company is entitled a proportionate share of net income. Ownership of some subsidiaries are held through other subsidiaries, which the Company controls.

 

Intragroup balances, and any unrealized gains and losses or income and expenses arising from transactions with jointly controlled entities are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the entity.

 

The Company treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Company. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognized in a separate reserve within equity attributable to the owners of the Company.

 

(e)                  Amalgamation

 

Effective June 1, 2017, CannWay Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (“CannWay”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was amalgamated with Pure Natures Wellness Inc. (o/a Aphria).

(Unaudited - in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)

 

(f)                   Interest in equity investees

 

The Company’s interest in equity investees is comprised of its interest in Althea Company Pty Ltd. (“Althea”).

 

In accordance with IFRS 10, associates are those in which the Company has significant influence, but not control or joint control over the financial and accounting policies.

 

Interests in associates are accounted for using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28. They are recognized initially at cost, which includes transaction costs. After initial recognition, the condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income (“OCI”) of equity investees until the date on which significant influence ceases.

 

If the Company’s share of losses in an equity investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.

 

Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in these entities. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

 

The carrying amount of equity investments is tested for impairment in accordance with the policy described in Note 3(j).

 

3.              Significant accounting policies

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies used in the preparation of the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended May 31, 2018.

 

New standards applicable during the reporting period

 

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments; Classification and Measurement, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted, introduces new requirements for the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial instruments and introduces a new impairment model for financial assets.

 

Under IFRS 9, financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Subsequently, all assets within scope of IFRS 9 are measured at:

 

(i)                  Amortized cost;

 

(ii)               Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”); or

 

(iii)            Fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”).

 

The classification is based on whether the contractual cash flows give rise to payments on specified dates that are solely payments of principal and interest (the “SPPI test”), and the objective of the Company’s business model is to hold assets only to collect cash flows, or to collect cash flows and to sell (the “Business Model test”). Financial assets are required to be reclassified only when the business model under which they are managed has changed. All reclassifications are to be applied prospectively from the reclassification date.

 

The impairment requirements under IFRS 9 are based on an expected credit loss model, replacing the IAS 39 incurred loss model. The expected credit loss model applies to debt instruments recorded at amortized cost or at FVOCI, such as loans debt securities and trade receivables, lease receivables and most loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts.

IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers; effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, specifies how and when to recognize revenue, based on a five-step model, and enhances relevant disclosures to be applied to all contracts with customers.

 

The Company has applied IFRS 15 retrospectively and determined that there is no change to the comparative periods or transitional adjustments required as a result of the adoption of this standard. The Company’s accounting policy for revenue recognition under IFRS 15 is as follows:

 

To recognize revenue under IFRS 15, the Company applies the following five steps:

 

1.              Identify the contract(s) with a customer

2.              Identify the performance obligations in the contract

3.              Determine the transaction price

4.              Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

5.              Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation

 

Revenue from the direct sale of cannabis to medical customers for a fixed price is recognized when the company transfers control of the good to the customer

 

New standards and interpretations issued but not yet adopted

 

IFRS 16 — Leases; in January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, which specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognise, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with IFRS 16’s approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17. IFRS 16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, and a lessee shall either apply IFRS 16 with full retrospective effect or alternatively not restate comparative information but recognise the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 as an adjustment to opening equity at the date of initial application. Early adoption is permitted if IFRS 15 has also been adopted. Based on its current assets, interests and investments and review of existing lease arrangements, no significant impact is anticipated from the new standard.

 

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the Company in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

 

The Company has reclassified certain immaterial items on the comparative consolidated statements of financial position, consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, and consolidated statements of cash flows to improve clarity.

During the three months ended August 31, 2018, the Company recorded $4,441 (2017 - $1,346) of production costs. Included in production costs for the three months ended August 31, 2018 is $147 of cannabis oil conversion costs (2017 - $41), $65 related to the cost of accessories (2017 - $37), and amortization of $513 (2017 - $389). The Company also included $919 of amortization which remains in inventory for the three months ended August 31, 2018 related to capital assets utilized in production. During the three months ended August 31, 2018, the Company expensed $4,205 (2017 —$1,136) of fair value adjustments on the growth of its biological assets included in inventory sold.

 

During the quarter, the Company also disposed of 13,642 plants prior to harvest. Included in production costs is $979 of accumulated costs relating to these plants which were not harvested.

 

The Company holds 4,893.7 kilograms of harvested cannabis (May 31, 2018 — 3,221.3 kgs), 699.7 kilograms of harvested cannabis trim (May 31, 2018 — 702.0 kgs), 9,295.6 litres of cannabis oils or 2,065.7 kilograms equivalent (May 31, 2018 — 7,724.7 litres or 1,716.6 kilograms equivalent), 3,026.1 litres of distillate or 672.5 kilograms equivalent and 316.9 litres (May 31, 2018 — nil) of softgel capsules or 70.4 kilograms equivalent (May 31, 2018 — nil) at August 31, 2018.

The Company values medical cannabis plants at fair value. Management determined cost approximates fair value from the date of initial clipping from mother plants until half way through the flowering cycle of the plants. Measurement of the biological transformation of the plant at fair value less costs to sell begins in the fourth week prior to harvest and is recognized evenly until the point of harvest. The number of weeks in the growing cycle is between twelve and sixteen weeks from propagation to harvest. The Company has determined the fair value less costs to sell of harvested cannabis and harvested cannabis trim to be $3.75 and $3.00 per gram respectively, upon harvest for greenhouse produced cannabis and $4.25 and $3.50 per gram respectively, upon harvest for indoor produced cannabis.

 

The effect of the fair value less cost to sell over and above historical cost was an increase in non-cash value of biological assets and inventory of $9,511 during the three months ended August 31, 2018 (2017 — $4,265).

 

The fair value of biological assets is determined using a valuation model to estimate expected harvest yield per plant applied to the estimated price per gram less processing and selling costs. Only when there is a material change from the expected fair value used for cannabis does the Company make any adjustments to the fair value used. During the period, there was no material change to these inputs and therefore there has been no change in the determined fair value per plant.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017

(Unaudited - in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)

 

In determining the fair value of biological assets, management has made the following estimates in this valuation model:

 

·                  The harvest yield is between 40 grams and 80 grams per plant;

·                  The selling price is between $2.50 and $10.00 per gram;

·                  Processing costs include drying and curing, testing, post-harvest overhead allocation, packaging and labelling costs between $0.30 and $0.80 per gram;

·                  Selling costs include shipping, order fulfilment, patient acquisition and patient maintenance costs between $0.00 and $3.00 per gram;

 

Sales price used in the valuation of biological assets is based on the historical average selling price of all cannabis products and can vary based on different strains being grown as well as the proportion of sales derived from wholesale compared to retail. Selling costs vary depending on methods of selling and are considered based on the expected method of selling and the determined additional costs which would be incurred. Expected yields for the cannabis plant is also subject to a variety of factors, such as strains being grown, length of growing cycle, and space allocated for growing. Management reviews all significant inputs, at each reporting period, based on historical information obtained as well as based on planned production schedules.

 

Management has quantified the sensitivity of the inputs and determined the following:

 

·                  Selling price per gram — a decrease in the average selling price per gram by 5% would result in the biological asset value decreasing by $187 (May 31, 2018 - $267) and inventory decreasing by $1,657 (May 31, 2018 - $1,040)

·                  Harvest yield per plant — a decrease in the harvest yield per plant of 5% would result in the biological asset value decreasing by $125 (May 31, 2018 - $179)

 

These inputs are level 3 on the fair value hierarchy, and are subject to volatility in market prices and several uncontrollable factors, which could significantly affect the fair value of biological assets in future periods.

 

8.                   Related party transactions

 

The Company funds a portion of the Canadian operating costs of Liberty Health Sciences Inc. (“Liberty”), for which Liberty reimburses the Company quarterly. Additionally, the Company purchases certain electrical generation equipment from and pays rent to a company owned by a director. These parties are related as they are corporations that are controlled by certain officers and directors of the Company.

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2018, related party corporations charged or incurred expenditures on behalf of the Company (including rent) totaling $85 (2017 - $39). Included in this amount was rent of $4 charged during the three months ended August 31, 2018 (2017 - $8).

11.            Business Acquisitions

 

Acquisition of Broken Coast Cannabis Ltd.

 

On February 13, 2018, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement to purchase all of the shares of Cannan Growers Inc. (“Cannan”), a holding company owning shares of Broken Coast Cannabis Ltd. (“Broken Coast”), and to acquire the remaining shares, for a combined total of 99.86%, of the issued and outstanding shares of Broken Coast. The combined purchase price was $214,168 satisfied through the issuance of an aggregate 14,373,675 common shares. The share purchase agreement entitled the Company to control Broken Coast effective on February 1, 2018, which became the effective acquisition date. During the quarter, the Company came to terms with the holder of the remaining 0.14% of the issued and outstanding shares of Broken Coast, accordingly the Company set aside 19,963 shares to be issued for the remaining 0.14%. Subsequent to quarter-end these shares were issued.

Acquisition of Nuuvera Corp.

 

On March 23, 2018, the Company completed a previously announced definitive arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired, by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement, under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Transaction”), 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares (on a fully diluted basis) of Nuuvera for a total consideration of $0.62 in cash plus 0.3546 of an Aphria share for each Nuuvera share held. All of Nuuvera’s outstanding options were exchanged for an equivalent option granted pursuant to Aphria’s stock option plan (each, a “Replacement Option”) to purchase from Aphria the number of common shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to: (i) the exchange ratio multiplied by (ii) the number of Nuuvera shares subject to such Nuuvera Option. Each such Replacement Option shall provide for an exercise price per common share (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to: (i) the exercise price per Nuuvera share purchasable pursuant to such Nuuvera Option; divided by (ii) the exchange ratio.

Copperstate Farms Investors, LLC

 

On May 15, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment agreement with Copperstate Farms Investors, LLC (“CSF”) which extended the maturity date and automatic conversion date to June 30, 2018, which was subsequently extended into July. As at August 31, 2018, this note was paid in full.

 

HydRx Farms Ltd. (d/b/a Scientus Pharma)

 

On August 14, 2017, Aphria purchased $11,500 in secured convertible debentures of Scientus Pharma (“SP”). The convertible debenture bears interest at 8%, paid semi-annually, matures in two years and includes the right to convert the debenture into common shares of SP at $2.75 per common share at any time before maturity. SP maintains the option of forced conversion of the convertible debenture if the common shares of SP trade on a stock exchange at a value of $3.02 or more for 30 consecutive days. The Company maintains a first charge on all assets of SP. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company agreed to share its first charge on all assets of SP with a third party on a pari passu basis.

 

During the period, the Company’s note receivable from SP increased by $155, representing the change in fair value on the note. As at August 31, 2018, the convertible note receivable totalled $16,284.

 

Fire & Flower Inc.

 

On July 26, 2018, Aphria purchased $10,000 in unsecured convertible debentures of Fire & Flower Inc. (“F&F”). The convertible debentures bear interest at 8% per annum compounded, accrued and paid semi-annually in arrears (the “Debentures”). The Debentures mature on the earlier of a public liquidity event or July 31, 2019 at which point they automatically convert into common shares of F&F at the rate of $1.15. The Debentures may also be converted into a loan on July 31, 2019 bearing interest at 12%, at the holder’s option.

 

During the period, the Company’s note receivable from F&F increased by $140, representing the change in fair value on the note. As at August 31, 2018, the convertible note receivable totalled $10,140.

 

During the period, the Company purchased a total of $10,000 in convertible notes. The unrealized gain on convertible notes receivable recognized in the results of operations amounts to $295 (2017 - $547).

 

The fair value for the was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: the risk-free rate of 0.85-1.15%; expected life of the convertible note; volatility of 70% based on comparable companies; forfeiture rate of nil; dividend yield of nil; and, the exercise price of the respective conversion feature.

Liberty Health Sciences Inc.

 

In February 2018, the Company entered into a call/put obligation (“Obligation Agreement”) for the remaining shares held in Liberty, which were subject to CSE mandatory escrow requirements. As each new tranche of shares becomes freely trading, the Obligation Agreement resulted in the buyers acquiring the newly freely trading shares at an 18% discount to the market price of Liberty, based on Liberty’s 10 day volume weighted trading price.

 

The Obligation Agreement included an opt-out for Aphria’s benefit, in the event that the Toronto Stock Exchange amended their regulations such that it permitted investments by Canadian companies in U.S. based cannabis businesses, and in such instance, the Obligation Agreement would be automatically terminated. In exchange for the opt-out, the Company agreed to pay the buyers a $2,500 termination fee.

 

Based on the terms of the Obligation Agreement, the Company determined that the remaining shares held in Liberty met the requirements under IFRS 5 and were reclassified from interest in equity investees to assets held for sale. The Company ceased accounting for the investment as an equity investment as of November 30, 2017 and transferred the carrying value to assets held for sale.

 

In July 2018, 16,029,615 shares were released from escrow and sold as part of the Obligation Agreement. The Company received gross proceeds of $11,514 and recognized a gain on sale of equity investee of $9,880. As part of the transaction, the Company paid $480 in exchange for an option to buy back the shares at $1.00 a share, subject to certain downside risk protection which results in the purchaser sharing a portion of the difference between the share price on the day the option is exercised and the exercise price, provided the share price exceeds $1.25. The option to repurchase the shares is subject to the following conditions (collectively, the enumerated conditions (1) through (5), the “Conditions”):

 

(1)              Cannabis becoming legalized federally in the United States; and

One or more of the following conditions have been satisfied:

(2)              The TSX has provided its approval for the re-purchase of the Liberty shares;

(3)              The TSX revises its rules such that it no longer has a prohibition against its listed companies having an interest in US assets which are involved in the cannabis business;

(4)              The common shares of the Company are voluntarily or involuntarily delisted from the TSX; and/or

(5)              The Company is acquired by another entity, provided that the common shares of the Company will be delisted from the TSX upon the change of control.

 

This option has been included in long-term investments (Note 14).

 

As at August 31, 2018, there were 64,118,462 Liberty shares held in escrow (May 31, 2018 — 80,148,077) with a carrying value of $16,496 (May 31, 2018 - $20,620), which remains in assets held for sale. Also included in assets held for sale is $nil of long-term investments (May 31, 2018 - $20,000). The Company maintained a derivative liability of $10,376 (May 31, 2018 - $12,451) and during the three months ended August 31, 2018, recognized an unrealized loss on derivative liability of $415 (2017 - $nil) as a result of the 18% discount to the market price of Liberty, based on Liberty’s 10 day volume weighted trading price in the Obligation Agreement.

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2017, the Company reported a total gain on dilution of ownership in equity investee of $7,551. For the four months ended August 31, 2017, Liberty reported a net loss of $23,493 and a net comprehensive loss of $27,001. In accordance with the equity method, the Company recorded a loss of $8,840 and other comprehensive loss of $1,321.

Aphria Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017

(Unaudited - in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)

 

The Company used a Monte-Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value of the derivative liability, using the following assumptions: risk-free rate of 1%; expected life of 0.4 — 2.4 years; volatility of 60% based on comparable companies; forfeiture rate of 0%; and, dividend yield of nil.

 

Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company secured an exemption from the CSE allowing it to have the remaining Liberty shares released from the CSE mandated escrow. Subsequent to the release from escrow, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement to divest of the remaining 64,118,462 Liberty shares in exchange for consideration in the form of a promissory note in the amount of $59,098, bearing interest at a rate of 12% due in 5 years. As a security for the promissory note, the Liberty shares have been placed in trust with an escrow agent. The purchaser is able to remove the Liberty shares from the escrow at any time by paying off the promissory note. In the event that the Company enforces the security, the escrow agent will return the shares to the Company, provided that the Conditions are met. In the event they are not met, the escrow agent will transfer the securities to a third-party investment for liquidation, with the proceeds of liquidation delivered to the Company. Simultaneously with this sale, the Company entered into an option agreement to repurchase the Liberty shares for the amount of the promissory note. The Company will pay an annual fee equal to 12.975% of the face value of the promissory note to maintain this option. The option to repurchase the shares is subject to the Conditions described above. In exchange for the early termination of the Obligation Agreement, the Company paid a $1,000 termination fee.

 

Althea Company Pty Ltd. (“Althea”)

 

As at August 31, 2018 the Company held 50,750,000 common shares of Althea (May 31, 2018 - 4,500) representing an ownership interest of 25% (May 31, 2018 - 37.5%).

Financial instruments

 

The Company has classified its cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, convertible notes receivable, long-term investments, and derivative liability as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), accounts receivable and other current assets as amortized cost, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income taxes payable, promissory notes payable, and long-term debt as other financial liabilities.

 

The carrying values of accounts receivable and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and promissory notes payable approximate their fair values due to their short periods to maturity.

 

The Company’s long-term debt of $55,503 is subject to fixed interest rates. The Company’s long-term debt is valued based on discounting the future cash outflows associated with the long-term debt. The discount rate is based on the incremental premium above market rates for Government of Canada securities of similar duration. In each period thereafter, the incremental premium is held constant while the Government of Canada security is based on the then current market value to derive the discount rate. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt in repayment as at August 31, 2018 was $53,643.

Fair value hierarchy

 

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. Cash and cash equivalents are Level 1. The hierarchy is summarized as follows:

 

Level 1                    quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 2                    inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) from observable market data

Level 3                    inputs for assets and liabilities not based upon observable market data

Financial risk management

 

The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: credit; liquidity; currency rate; and, interest rate price.

 

(a)                 Credit risk

 

The maximum credit exposure at August 31, 2018 is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable and other current assets and promissory notes receivable. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to customers. All cash and cash equivalents are placed with major Canadian financial institutions. Marketable securities are placed with major Canadian investment banks and are represented by investment grade corporate bonds.

(b)                 Liquidity risk

 

As at August 31, 2018, the Company’s financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which have contractual maturity dates within one-year, promissory note payable, which have a contractual maturity within 15 months and long-term debt, which have contractual maturities over the next five years. The Company manages its liquidity risk by reviewing its capital requirements on an ongoing basis. Based on the Company’s working capital position at August 31, 2018, management regards liquidity risk to be low.

 

(c)                  Currency rate risk

 

As at August 31, 2018, a portion of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities held in United States Dollars (“USD”) and Euros consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, convertible notes receivable, long-term investments and a promissory note payable. The Company’s objective in managing its foreign currency risk is to minimize its net exposure to foreign currency cash flows by transacting, to the greatest extent possible, with third parties in Canadian dollars. The Company does not currently use foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure of its foreign currency cash flows as management has determined that this risk is not significant at this point in time.

 

The Company is exposed to unrealized foreign exchange risk through its cash and cash equivalents. A 1% change in the USD foreign exchange rate would result in an unrealized gain or loss of approximately $18. A 1% change in the Euro foreign exchange rate would result in an unrealized gain or loss of approximately $52.

 

(d)                 Interest rate price risk

 

The Company manages interest rate risk by restricting the type of investments and varying the terms of maturity and issuers of marketable securities. Varying the terms to maturity reduces the sensitivity of the portfolio to the impact of interest rate fluctuations.

 

(e)                  Capital management

 

The Company’s objectives when managing its capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, to meet its capital expenditures for its continued operations, and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital within a framework of acceptable risk. The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, issue new debt, or acquire or dispose of assets. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

 

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There have been no changes to the Company’s capital management approach in the year. The Company considers its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as capital.

31.       Subsequent events

 

Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company entered into a strategic partnership with Schroll Medical, a subsidiary of prominent European flower producer, Schroll Flowers. The Company paid €100 and will provide cannabis genetics, strains and proprietary growing IP for a 15% interest in Schroll Medical.

 

Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company secured an exemption from the CSE allowing it to have the remaining Liberty shares released from the CSE mandated escrow. Subsequent to the release from escrow, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement to divest of the remaining 64,118,462 Liberty shares in exchange for a promissory note in the amount of $59,098, bearing interest at a rate of 12% due in 5 years. As a security for the promissory note, the Liberty shares have been placed in trust with an escrow agent.
