Aphria Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months and six months ended November 30, 2017 and November 30, 2016

(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.

 

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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 9, 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, 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 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)                         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.

Aphria Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months and six months ended November 30, 2017 and November 30, 2016

(Unaudited — In thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)

 

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 investees

 

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

 

Equity 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 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 the annual audited financial statements.

 

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, 2017.

 

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 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, 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 three and six months ended November 30, 2017, the Company recorded $2,746 and $4,092 (2016 - $1,180 and $2,234) related to production costs. Included in production costs for the three and six months ended November 30, 2017 is $54 and $95 of cannabis oil conversion costs (2016 - $15 and $43) and $61 and $98 related to the cost of accessories (2016 - $nil and $nil). Included in cost of sales is amortization of $500 and $889 (2016 - $228 and $482) related to capital assets utilized in production. During the three and six months ended November 30, 2017, the Company expensed $2,671 and $3,807 (2016 — $1,233 and $2,572) of fair value adjustments on the sale of its biological assets included in inventory.

 

The Company holds 1,382.4 kilograms of harvested cannabis (May 31, 2017 — 668.5 kgs), 688.9 kilograms of harvested cannabis trim (May 31, 2017 — 140.1 kgs) and 1,646.6 litres of cannabis oils or 274.4 kilograms equivalent (May 31, 2017 — 1,091.3 litres or 181.9 kilograms equivalent) at November 30, 2017.

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 $3,115 and $7,380 during the three and six months ended November 30, 2017 (2016 — increase of $1,307 and $3,107). 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.

 

8.     Related party transactions

 

Prior to going public, the Company funded operations through the support of related parties. Since going public, the Company has continued to leverage the purchasing power of these related parties for certain of its operating expenditures. The balance owing from related parties as at November 30, 2017 was $nil (May 31, 2017 - $464). These parties are related as they are corporations that are controlled by certain officers and directors of the Company.

 

During the three and six months ended November 30, 2017, related party corporations charged or incurred expenditures on behalf of the Company (including rent) totaling $54 and $93 (2016 - $72 and $267). Included in this amount was rent of $9 and $17 charged during the three and six months ended November 30, 2017 (2016 - $8 and $33).

During the three and six months ended November 30, 2017, the Company sold assets that were not yet in use prior to disposal with a cost of $nil and $207 (2016 - $nil and $33) and a net book value of $nil and $207 (2016 - $nil and $22), for proceeds of $nil and $200 (2016 - $nil and $33), resulting in a loss on sale of capital assets of $nil and $7 (2016 - $nil and $11).

 

As at November 30, 2017, there was approximately $7,190 (May 31, 2017 - $nil) in accounts payable and accrued liabilities relating to construction in progress.

 

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. 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 of cost included in land to assets available for sale.

Copperstate Farms Investors, LLC

 

On August 31, 2017, the Company lent Copperstate Farms Investors, LLC (“CSF”) $2,000 USD ($2,501 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 USD of the outstanding loan balance is not repaid by February 28, 2018, then an automatic conversion would be triggered for $500 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 November 30, 2017, the convertible note receivable totalled $2,000 USD ($2,578 CAD).

 

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

 

On August 14, 2017, Aphria lent $11,500 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 $4,146 at November 30, 2017.

 

During the three and six month period, the Company’s note receivable from SP increased by $556 and $556 representing the recognition of accretion interest on the note and the embedded derivative decreased by $304 and $304, representing the change in fair value of the conversion feature on the note.

 

As at November 30, 2017, the convertible note receivable totalled $11,752.

 

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 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.

As at May 31, 2017 the Company owned 312,592,308 common shares in DFMMJ Investments, Ltd. (“DFMMJ”), representing approximately 46.1% of DFMMJ’s issued and outstanding common shares.

 

On July 20, 2017, as part of the business combination DFMMJ received an investment from a third party of $9,150 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 from the change in equity interest.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months and six months ended November 30, 2017 and November 30, 2016

(Unaudited — In thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)

 

Further on July 20, 2017, DFMMJ completed its business combination with SecureCom Mobile Inc. (“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) was added to the carrying value of its interest in the equity 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 $5,590 and a corresponding increase to the cost base of its investment by the same value.

 

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.

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2017, LHS issued an additional 521,833 shares to third parties. As a result, the Company’s interest in LHS was diluted and the Company realized a dilution loss of $16 from the change in equity interest.

 

For the three and six months ended November 30, 2017, the Company reported a total (loss) gain on dilution of ownership in equity investee of ($16) and $7,535 (2016 - $nil and $nil).

 

For the three months ended November 30, 2017 and for the period from May 1, 2017 to November 30, 2017 the investee, LHS, reported a net loss of $974 and $24,671, and a net comprehensive gain (loss) of $409 and ($26,798) on its financial statements. In accordance with the equity method, Aphria recorded a loss of $441 and $9,281 and an other comprehensive gain (loss) of $520 and ($801) for the three and six months ended November 30, 2017, from its investee relative to its ownership of the outstanding common shares at the time.

Discounted cash flow analysis

 

·       Future cash flows — primarily driven by future gross margin assumption

 

·       Increases (decreases) in future cash flows increase (decrease) fair value

 

·       Increases (decreases) in cash flows tend to be accompanied by increases (decreases) in discount rates that may offset changes in fair value from cash flows

 

 

·       Discount rate

 

·       Increases (decreases) in discount rate decrease (increase) fair value

 

·       Increases (decreases) in discount rates tend to be accompanied by increases (decreases) in cash flows that may offset changes in fair value from discount rates

 

 

·       Terminal EBITDA multiple

 

·       Increases (decreases) in terminal EBITDA multiple increase (decrease) fair value

 

·       No mitigating factors

 

 

·       Probability that marijuana remains a Schedule I drug

 

·       Increases (decreases) in probability that marijuana remains a schedule I drug decrease (increase) fair value

 

·       No mitigating factors

 

Key valuation assumptions include a discount rate of 13%, terminal EBITDA multiple of 7 and probability of 90% that marijuana remains a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act in the United States.

 

As a result of these transactions, the Company owns 5,000 membership units in Copperstate for total cost of $1,300 USD ($1,755 CAD), with a fair value of $7,446 and owns 13,868 membership units in CSF for a total cost of $7,094 USD ($9,407 CAD) with a fair value of $26,862 as at November 30, 2017.

(d/b/a Scientus Pharma) and embedded derivatives as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), accounts receivable and other current assets 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 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 $31,830 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 November 30, 2017 was $31,678.

 

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

(b)                 Liquidity risk

 

As at November 30, 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 November 30, 2017, management regards liquidity risk to be low.

 

(c)                  Currency rate risk

 

As at November 30, 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.

 

The Company is exposed to unrealized foreign exchange risk through its convertible notes receivable and long-term investments. A 1% change in the foreign exchange rate would result in an unrealized gain or loss of approximately $379.

 

(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.
