Aphria Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended August 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016

(Unaudited)

 

1.              Nature of operations

 

Aphria Inc. (the “Company” or “Aphria”) was continued in Ontario.

 

Pure Natures Wellness Inc. (o/a Aphria) (“PNW”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is licensed to produce and sell medical marijuana under the provisions of the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”). The registered office 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 consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on October 12, 2017.

 

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 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, 2017, 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 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 consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars.

 

(d)                   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 consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

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

(Unaudited)

 

entity. Unrealized losses are eliminated to the extent of the gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

 

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). The Company has historically presented all balances and activities of CannWay as a fully consolidated entity for financial statement presentation purposes. As of the date of amalgamation, CannWay did not have any assets or outstanding liabilities. There are no material changes to be considered prospectively or to the comparative consolidated statements as a result of the amalgamation.

 

(f)                     Interest in equity-accounted investees

 

The Company’s interest in equity accounted investees is comprised of its interest in associates.

 

Equity accounted investee

Jurisdiction of incorporation

Liberty Health Sciences Inc.

British Columbia

(formerly DFMMJ Investments, Ltd.)

 

 

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 consolidated financial statements include the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income (“OCI”) of equity accounted investees until the date on which significant influence ceases.

 

If the Company’s share of losses in an equity-accounted 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-accounted investments is tested for impairment in accordance with the policy described in the annual audited financial statements.

 

3.              Significant accounting policies

For the three months ended August 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016

New standards applicable during the reporting period

 

IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale; Assets and liabilities held for disposal are no longer depreciated and are presented separately in the statement of financial position at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. An asset is regarded as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction, rather than through continuing use. For this to be the case, the asset must be available for immediate sale and its sale must be highly probable.

 

New standards and interpretations issued but not yet adopted:

 

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. The Company is assessing the impact of the standard on its convertible notes receivable and its investments where it holds less than significant influence. The Company has determined that there will no impact on cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, other receivables, promissory notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and promissory notes payable. Convertible notes receivable are currently recorded as available for sale. Investments are currently recorded at fair value. Upon implementation of IFRS 9, these investments will need to be recorded at fair value and the Company is currently assessing available information and methods to determine their fair value. Based on investments already reflected at fair value, no significant impact is anticipated from the new standard.

 

The new standard also introduces expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation. These are expected to change the nature and extent of the Company’s disclosures about its financial instruments particularly in the period of the adoption of the new standard.

 

The Company will apply the new rules retrospectively from June 1, 2018 with the practical expedients permitted under the standards. Comparatives will not be restated.

 

IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers; effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted, specifies how and when to recognize revenue and enhances relevant disclosures to be applied to all contracts with customers. The Company continues to assess the impact of the standard on its investees with a focus on consulting contracts and royalty fees.

 

The Company is still considering the impact on its customer loyalty programme, which is currently under reconsideration. The new standard will require that the total consideration received be allocated to the points and goods based on relative stand-alone selling prices rather than based on the residual method.

 

The Company intends to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach which means that the cumulative impact of adoption will be recognized in retained earnings as of June 1, 2018 and that comparatives will not be restated.

 

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, 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 income and comprehensive income to improve clarity.

During the period, the Company recorded $1,346,162 (2016 - $1,053,916) related to production costs. Included in production costs for the period ended August 31, 2017 is $40,915 of cannabis oil conversion costs (2016 - $14,940) and $36,966 related to the cost of accessories (2016 - $nil). Included in cost of sales is amortization of $389,123 (2016 - $253,208) related to capital assets utilized in production. During the period, the Company expensed $1,135,535 (2016 $1,339,538) of fair value adjustments on the sale of its biological assets included in inventory.

 

The Company holds 721.5 kilograms of harvested cannabis (May 31, 2017 668.5 kgs), 414.7 kilograms of harvested cannabis trim (May 31, 2017 140.1 kgs) and 2,517.6 litres of cannabis oils or 419.1 kilograms equivalent (May 31, 2017 1,091.3 litres or 181.9 kilograms equivalent) at August 31, 2017.

The Company values medical cannabis plants at cost from the date of initial clipping from mother plants until the end of the twelfth week of its growing cycle. Measurement of the biological asset at fair value less costs to sell and costs to complete begins at the thirteenth week until harvest. The Company has determined the fair value less costs to sell of harvested cannabis to be $3.75 per gram. The Company has determined the fair value less costs to sell of its harvested cannabis trim to be $3.00 per gram, upon harvest.

 

The net 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 $4,265,779 during the three months ended August 31, 2017 (2016 increase of $1,800,087). In determining the fair value of biological assets, management is required to make several estimates, including: the expected cost required to grow the cannabis up to the point of harvest; harvesting costs; selling costs; sales price; and, expected yields for the cannabis plant. All of which represent Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy. These estimates are subject to volatility in market prices and several uncontrollable factors, which could significantly affect the fair value of biological assets in future periods.

During the period, the Company sold assets that were not yet in use prior to disposal with a cost of $206,910 and a net book value of $206,910, for proceeds of $199,650, resulting in a loss on sale of capital assets of $7,260.

 

On August 9, 2017, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Nuuvera Corp. (“Nuuvera”). Under the terms of one of the agreements, the Company agreed to sell 100 acres of land owned on Mersea Road 8 Leamington, Ontario in exchange for $4,000,000. The agreement is subject to standard closing conditions, including the severance of the 100 acres from the overall site owned by the Company on Mersea Road 8, Leamington, Ontario. The Company expects the transaction to close before the fiscal year-end. As a result of the agreement, the Company reclassified $3,160,426 of cost included in land to assets available for sale.

CannaRoyalty Corp.

 

On October 19, 2016, Aphria loaned $1,500,000 to CannaRoyalty Corp. (“CR”) as a convertible debenture. The convertible debenture bears interest at 5%, paid annually, matures in three years and includes the right to convert the debenture into common shares of CR at $2.00 per common share at any time before maturity. CR maintains the option of forced conversion of the convertible debenture if the common shares of CR trade on a stock exchange at a value of $4.00 or more.

 

The option to settle payments in common shares represents an embedded derivative in the form of a call option to the Company. The fair value of the derivative asset related to the convertible note is $705,750 at August 31, 2017.

 

During the period, the Company’s note receivable from CR increased by $14,426 representing the recognition of accrued interest on the note and the embedded derivative, representing the fair value of the conversion feature on the note, increased by $532,750.

 

As at August 31, 2017, the convertible note receivable totalled $2,080,724.

Copperstate Farms Investors, LLC

 

Effective August 31, 2017, the Company lent Copperstate Farms Investors, LLC (“CSF”) $2,000,000 USD ($2,501,000 CAD) in exchange for a senior secured convertible loan. The convertible debenture bears interest at 9%, is due on May 15, 2018 (“Maturity Date”). The loan is pre-payable at any time by CSF, however no principal payments are due prior to the Maturity Date. If at least $500,000 USD of the outstanding loan balance is not repaid by February 28, 2018, then an automatic conversion would be triggered for $500,000 USD plus any accrued but unpaid interest, net of any repayments towards the principal, of the loan balance at $500 USD per unit. If the outstanding loan balance has not been repaid before the Maturity Date, an automatic conversion would be triggered for the remaining loan balance at $500 USD per unit. The convertible loan is secured by a first charge on CSF’s greenhouse assets and real property located in Snowflake, Arizona. Since the option to settle payments in membership units is solely at the discretion of CSF, no embedded derivative has been recognized.

 

As at August 31, 2017, the convertible note receivable totalled $2,507,200.

 

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

 

On August 14, 2017, Aphria lent $11,500,000 to Scientus Pharma (“SP”) as a convertible debenture. 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 option to settle payments in common shares represents an embedded derivative in the form of a call option to the Company. The fair value of the derivative asset related to the convertible note is $4,450,000 at August 31, 2017.

 

As at August 31, 2017, the convertible note receivable totalled $11,500,000.

 

The fair value for the embedded derivatives was determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: the risk-free rate of 1.12-1.15%; 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. (formerly DFMMJ Investments, Ltd.)

 

On April 5, 2017 Aphria announced a strategic investment in DFMMJ Investments, Ltd. (“DFMMJ”), where DFMMJ, through a subsidiary, acquired all or substantially all of the assets of Chestnut Hill Tree Farm LLC (“Chestnut”) and would subsequently amalgamate into a subsidiary of SecureCom Mobile Inc. (“SecureCom”), as part of a business combination. As part of the steps involved in the business combination, Aphria first exchanged rights to use its intellectual property, Aphria’s Know-How-System, to DFMMJ as part of a licensing agreement in exchange for common shares, which through an arm’s length negotiation, was determined to have a fair value of $5,000,000. As a result of this in-kind transaction, Aphria was issued 192,400,000 common shares in DFMMJ. Aphria is

deemed to have significant influence over DFMMJ due to its resulting equity interest (44.0%, at April 5, 2017), whereby the investment is valued under the equity method. For accounting purposes, the Company recorded the transaction as deferred revenue of $2,800,000, representing its non-owned interest in the equity accounted investee. Management determined that the intellectual property would have a useful life of 3 years and therefore the deferred income will be recognized straight-line over its remaining useful life. For the reporting period ended August 31, 2017, the Company recognized $233,333 of the deferred income.

 

On May 24, 2017, the Company released $25,311,794, comprised of $625,000 CAD and $18,340,857 USD, which itself was comprised of $24,375,000 CAD converted into USD in March 2017 as required in the business combination agreement ($24,686,794 CAD), from escrow to DFMMJ, after satisfaction of the escrow release conditions. In addition, the Company incurred $53,898 of transaction fees related to the investment. In exchange, the Company received 120,192,308 common shares of DFMMJ. Concurrently, DFMMJ issued a further 120,192,308 common shares to third parties in exchange for $25,000,000 CAD in cash. As a result of these transactions, the Company owned 312,592,308 common shares in DFMMJ, representing approximately 46.1% of DFMMJ’s issued and outstanding common shares, at May 31, 2017.

 

On July 20, 2017, as part of the business combination DFMMJ received an investment from a third party of $9,149,997 for 43,990,370 subscription shares at $ 0.208 per share. As a result, the Company’s interest in DFMMJ was diluted from 46.1% to 43.3%, with the Company realizing a dilution gain of $1,961,383 from the change in equity interest.

 

Further on July 20 2017, DFMMJ completed its business combination with SecureCom. After amalgamation, SecureCom changed its name to Liberty Health Sciences Inc. (“LHS”) and remained the resulting issuer. Management determined the Company should account for its investment in the newly consolidated LHS using the equity method as a continuation of the treatment previously applied to its investment in DFMMJ. Prior to the transaction, the Company held 8,000,000 shares directly in SecureCom, which have been historically treated as a Level 1 Long-Term Investment. As a result of the business combination, the 130,044,447 total outstanding common shares of SecureCom were added to the share base of LHS, and the fair value of the Company’s investment in SecureCom ($1,664,000) was added to the carrying value of its interest in the equity accounted investee. Upon completion of the business combination, all 852,063,664 outstanding shares were consolidated for Consideration Shares in LHS. As a result, the Company held 320,592,308 (37.6%) of the total outstanding shares of LHS. Due to the dilution of ownership in the combined entity, the Company recognized a further unrealized gain on dilution with respect to the outstanding shares owned by third parties of $5,589,775 and a corresponding increase to the cost base of its investment by the same value.

 

For the three months ended August 31, 2017, the Company reported a total gain on dilution of ownership in equity accounted investee of $7,551,158 (2016 - $nil). Upon the completion of the transaction, LHS consolidated its issued and outstanding common shares, broker warrants and existing stock options on the basis of three pre-consolidation common shares held for one post-consolidation common share. As a result of the three-for-one exchange, Aphria now holds 106,864,102 common shares of LHS, representing a 37.6% ownership, where no new shares were issued and there was no further dilution of ownership.

 

For the four months ended August 31, 2017 for the investee, LHS reported a net loss of $23,492,596 and a net comprehensive loss of $27,001,494 on its financial statements. In accordance with the equity method, Aphria recorded a loss of $8,840,264 and an other comprehensive loss of $1,320,398 from its investee relative to its ownership of the outstanding common shares at the time.

29.               Financial risk management and financial instruments

 

Financial instruments

 

The Company has classified its cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and long-term investments, with the exception of the debentures in CannaRoyalty Corp., Copperstate Farms Investors, LLC and HydRx Ltd. (d/b/a Scientus Pharma) and embedded derivatives as fair value through profit or loss, accounts receivable and other receivables as loans and receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, promissory notes payable, and long-term debt as other financial liabilities. The debentures in CannaRoyalty Corp., Copperstate Farms Investors, LLC and HydRx Ltd. (d/b/a Scientus Pharma) are accounted for on an amortized cost basis.

 

The carrying values of accounts receivable and other receivables, 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 $32,019,235 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, 2017 was $31,863,057.

 

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 risk; liquidity; currency rate; and, interest rate price risk.

 

(a)         Credit risk

 

The maximum credit exposure at August 31, 2017 is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable and other receivables 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.

 

The Company mitigates its credit risk and volatility on its marketable securities through its investment policy, which permits investments in Federal or Provincial government securities, Provincial utilities or bank institutions and Investment grade corporate bonds.

(b)         Liquidity risk

 

As at August 31, 2017, the Company’s financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which has contractual maturity dates within one year, promissory note payable, which has a contractual maturity within 15 months and long-term debt, which has 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, 2017, management regards liquidity risk to be low.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended August 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016

(Unaudited)

 

(c)         Currency rate risk

 

As at August 31, 2017, a portion of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities held in USD consist of 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.

 

(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 period. The Company considers its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as capital.

 

30.     Commitments

 

The Company has a lease commitment until December 31, 2018 for rental of office space from a related party. The Company has an option to extend this lease for two additional 5 year periods. In July of 2016, the Company terminated its lease of greenhouse and warehouse property in conjunction with the acquisition of the 265 Talbot Street West property. The Company has a lease commitments for the use of two motor vehicles expiring September 2019 and August 2020 in the amounts payable of $ 9,313 and $ 19,599, respectively, annually and leased office space in Toronto for $ 4,500 per month until September 2017. In April of 2017, the Company indemnified the landlord of the office space leased by Liberty Health Sciences Inc. (formerly DFMMJ Investments, Ltd.). As disclosed in note 15, the Company has agreed to contribute an additional $ 1,300,000 to Green Acre Capital Fund. The Company has committed purchase orders outstanding at August 31, 2017 related to capital asset expansion of $42,449,735, of which $38,382,048 are expected to be paid within the next year. Minimum payments payable over the next five years are as follows:
