Item 3 Financial Statements and Other Information

 

The following financial statements are attached as schedules to this Amended and Restated Business Acquisition Report and form an integral part of this Amended and Restated Business Acquisition Report:

 

Exhibit A — Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data

 

Attached as Exhibit A are the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements of Aphria for the year ended May 31, 2017 and six month period ended November 30, 2017, by combining the actual results of Aphria with the constructed results of Broken Coast and Cannan for the year ended June 30, 2017.

 

The constructed statements of net income for both Broken Coast and Cannan have been constructed with a period from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017. To arrive at this constructed period, Broken Coast and Cannan’s three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were utilized to calculate results for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016. The six months ended June 30, 2016 were removed from Broken Coast and Cannan’s twelve months ended December 31, 2016 results. The resulting amounts were then added to the result for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Similarly, the constructed results for the six month period ended November 30, 2017 were calculated by combining Aphria’s actual results from June 1 to November 30, 2017 with the constructed results for Broken Coast and Cannan for the six months ended December 31, 2017. To arrive at this constructed period, Broken Coast and Cannan’s three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were utilized to calculate results for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The six months ended June 30, 2017 were removed from Broken Coast

and Cannan’s twelve months ended December 31, 2017 results. All giving the effect to the successful completion of the Transaction as if the Transaction occurred on June 1, 2016.

 

Exhibit B - Audited Financial Statements of Broken Coast

 

Attached as Exhibit B hereto are the audited financial statements of Broken Coast as at and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the notes thereto, together with the independent auditor’s report thereon.

 

Exhibit C - Audited Financial Statements of Cannan

 

Attached as Exhibit C hereto are the audited financial statements of Cannan as at and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the notes thereto, together with the independent auditor’s report thereon.

 

Caution Regarding Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

 

This Amended and Restated Business Acquisition Report contains the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of the Company comprised of the pro forma consolidated statements of net income of the Company for the six months ended November 30, 2017 and the year ended May 31, 2017, giving effect to the Transaction.

 

Such unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared using certain of the Company’s, Broken Coast’s and Cannan’s respective historical financial statements as more particularly described in the notes to such unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. In preparing such unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements, the Company has not independently verified the financial statements of Broken Coast or Cannan that were used to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The historical unaudited consolidated and historical audited consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements to give effect to events that are: (i) directly attributable to the pro forma events, for which there are firm commitments and for which the complete financial effects are objectively determinable and (ii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of earnings, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company’s results. As such, the impact from merger-related expenses is not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of earnings. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not reflect any cost savings from operational efficiencies or synergies that could result from the Transaction or for liabilities that may result from integration planning. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect what the combined company’s financial condition and results of operations would have been had the Transaction occurred on the dates indicated.

 

They also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of the operations of the combined company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. The pro forma adjustments and purchase price allocation for Broken Coast and

Cannan are based on preliminary estimates of the fair value of the consideration paid and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, currently available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable in the circumstances, as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. As a result of these factors, the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and the differences may be material.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Amended and Restated Business Acquisition Report may contain certain “forward-looking statements” or “forward-looking information” under applicable securities laws. Forward-looking terms such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “potential,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “project,” “target,” “believe,” “estimate” or “expect” and other words, terms and phrases of similar nature are often intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made and represent management’s best judgment based on facts and assumptions that management considers reasonable.

 

Any such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and expectations to differ materially from the anticipated results or expectations expressed in this Amended and Restated Business Acquisition Report. The Company cautions readers that should certain risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary significantly from those expected. You are referred to the risk factors described in the Company’s most recent annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Annual Information Form and other documents on file with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities, which are available online under the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com or on the Company’s website at www.aphria.com. The forward-looking statements and information contained in this Amended and Restated Business Acquisition Report represent the Company’s views only as of today’s date. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by law, rule or regulation. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Aphria Inc.

Notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements

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

 

1.             Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on the historical financial statements of Aphria Inc. (“Aphria”), Broken Coast Cannabis Ltd. (“Broken Coast”), and Cannan Growers Inc. (“Cannan”), consolidated and adjusted to give effect to the acquisition by Aphria, of approximately 99.86% of the issued and outstanding shares of Broken Coast and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cannan (the “Acquisitions”). They are presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be indicative of the consolidated company’s financial position or results of operations that would have actually occurred had the Acquisitions been completed at or as of the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of our future operating results or financial position.

 

The data in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of net income for the year ended May 31, 2017 and the six month period ended November 30, 2017 assumes that the Acquisitions took place at June 1, 2016, the beginning of the financial year.

 

The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Acquisitions, (2) objectively determinable, and (3) with respect to the statements of net income, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements was based on and should be read in conjunction with the following historical financial statements and accompanying notes of Broken Coast and Cannan for the applicable periods, which are included elsewhere in the business acquisition report, and the financial statements of Aphria:

 

·                  Historical audited consolidated financial statements of Aphria for the year ended May 31, 2017 and the related notes;

·                  Historical unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Aphria for the three and six months ended November 30, 2017 and the related notes;

·                  Historical audited financial statements of Broken Coast for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the related notes;

·                  Historical audited financial statements of Cannan for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the related notes; and

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements is presented for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of the financial position that would have prevailed and operating results that would have been obtained if the Acquisitions had been completed on those dates or for the periods presented, nor do they claim to project the financial position or operating results which may be obtained in the future. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not forecast or projection of future results. The actual financial position and results of operation of Aphria for any period following the closing of the Acquisitions will vary from the amounts set forth in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and such variations may be material. Any potential integration gains that may be realized and integration costs that may be incurred upon completion of the Acquisitions, have been excluded from the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements.

 

In the opinion of management, the accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated interim statements of net income for the six months ended November 30, 2017 and for the year ended May 31, 2017, include all the adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Acquisitions in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and incorporate the significant accounting policies expected to be used to prepare Aphria’s consolidated financial statements. Certain financial statement line items included in Broken Coast and Cannan’s historical presentation have been disaggregated or condensed to conform to corresponding financial statement line items included in Aphria’s historical presentation.

Aphria Inc.

Notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements

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

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”), as described in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Aphria for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2017. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price of an acquisition is allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The pro forma adjustments related to the purchase price allocation in connection with the Acquisitions are preliminary and based upon information obtained to date and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The actual purchase accounting adjustments are described in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Aphria for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2017 are preliminary and will be finalized as information becomes available, but limited to one year after the acquisition date, and may differ from those reflected in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements presented above. The actual amounts that we record are based on our final allocation of the purchase price, after giving effect to the final purchase price adjustments at the closing date, and our final assessment of fair values may differ materially from those recorded in our unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of net income do not reflect any acquisition costs in connection with the Acquisitions.

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of net income for the year ended May 31, 2017 has been derived as follows:

Independent Auditor’s Report

 

To the Shareholders of

Broken Coast Cannabis Ltd.

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Broken Coast Cannabis Ltd., which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2017 and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes, which comprise a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

 

Management’s responsibility for the financial statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1)             Nature of operations

 

Broken Coast Cannabis Ltd. (the “Company”, or “Broken Coast”), formerly Greenleaf Medicinals Ltd., was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on 21 February 2013.

 

The registered and records office of the Company is 4th Floor, 931 Fort Street, Victoria, BC, V8V 3K3.

 

The Company is a licensed producer of medical marihuana based in Duncan, British Columbia, licensed under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (Canada). The principal activities of the Company are the production and sale of medical marihuana as regulated by the Access to Cannabis for Medicinal Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”)

 

2)             Basis of preparation — Statement of Compliance

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and related IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRICs”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

 

These financial statements were approved by the board of directors and authorized for issue on 8 May 2018.

 

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgments, and assumptions that affect the application of the Company’s accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, profit and expenses. The areas involving a higher degree of judgements or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed Note 4. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on current facts and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

3)             Summary of significant accounting policies

 

a)             Basis of measurement

 

These financial statements have been prepared in Canadian dollars on a historical cost basis except for biological assets, which are measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based upon the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company.

 

b)             Biological assets

 

The Company measures biological assets consisting of medicinal cannabis plants at fair value less costs to sell up to the point of harvest, which becomes the basis for the cost of finished goods inventories after harvest.

 

c)              Inventory

 

Inventories of harvested finished goods and packing materials are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventories of harvested cannabis are transferred from biological assets at their fair value at harvest, which becomes deemed cost. Any subsequent post-harvest costs are capitalized to inventory to the extent that cost is less than net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

d)             Measurement uncertainty

 

The preparation of these financial statements, in conformity with IFRS, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.

 

The Company’s key estimates relate to the valuation and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment, and the fair value measurement of inventory and biological assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates require the extensive use of judgment about the nature, cost and timing of the work to be completed, and may change with future changes to costs, environmental laws and regulations. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

e)              Property, plant and equipment and intangibles

 

Amortization is charged so as to write off the cost of the asset using the stated method over the estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Computer equipment

 

Straight-line

 

3 years

 

Equipment

 

Straight-line

 

5 years

 

Security equipment

 

Straight-line

 

5 years

 

Building

 

Straight-line

 

10 years

 

Website

 

Straight-line

 

5 years

 

Construction in progress

 

No term

 

Not amortized

 

 

Where an item of property, plant and equipment is comprised of major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

 

Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of property, plant and equipment that is accounted for separately, are capitalized. Directly attributable expenses incurred for major capital projects and site preparation are capitalized until the asset is brought to a working condition for its intended use.

 

The costs of day-to-day servicing are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. These costs are more commonly referred to as “maintenance and repairs.”

 

Financing costs directly associated with the construction or acquisition of qualifying assets are capitalized at interest rates relating to loans specifically raised for that purpose, or at the average borrowing rate where the general pool of group borrowings is utilized. Capitalization of borrowing costs ceases when the asset is substantially complete.

BROKEN COAST CANNABIS LTD.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The amortization method, useful life and residual values are assessed annually.

 

Subsequent costs

 

The cost of replacing part of an item within property, plant and equipment is recognized when the cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognized as an expense as incurred.

 

Impairment

 

The Company’s tangible and intangible assets are reviewed for an indication of impairment at each statement of financial position date. If indication of impairment exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

 

An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset, or its cash-generating unit, exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss for the period.

 

Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to cash-generating units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro-rata basis.

 

The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

 

Reversal of impairment

 

An impairment loss is reversed if there is an indication that there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of amortization or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized. An impairment loss with respect to goodwill is never reversed.

f)               Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is recognized at the fair value consideration received or receivable. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all of the following conditions have been satisfied, which is generally met once the products are shipped to customers.

 

·                  The Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

 

·                  The Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

 

·                  The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;

 

·                  It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and

 

·                  The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be reliably measured.

 

As at 31 December 2017 the Company recognized deferred revenue totaling $64,926 (2016 - $14,867) for sales made to customers via the Company’s website for which products have not been shipped to customers.

 

g)             Research and development

 

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures are capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development to use or sell the asset. Other development expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. To date, no development costs have been capitalized.

 

h)             Share-based payments

 

Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and are amortized over the vesting periods using a graded attribution approach. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or at the fair value of the equity instruments issued (if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured), and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received.

 

i)                Joint arrangements

 

The Company applies IFRS 11 to all joint arrangements. Under IFRS 11 investments in Joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures, depending on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor. Joint arrangements that are classified as joint operations are accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method whereby the Company recognizes its share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the joint operations. Joint arrangements classified as joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.

j)                Income taxes

 

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.

 

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

 

Deferred tax is recognized using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

 

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

 

k)             Financial instruments

 

All financial instruments must be recognized, initially, at fair value on the statement of financial position. The Company has classified each financial instrument into the following categories: “held-for-trading,” “loans and receivables,” “other financial liabilities”, and “fair value through profit and loss”. Subsequent measurement of the financial instruments is based on their respective classification. Unrealized gains and losses on held-for-trading instruments are recognized in earnings. The other categories of financial instruments are recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company had made the following classifications:

 

Financial Assets or Liabilities

 

Category

Cash

 

Loans and receivables

Accounts receivable

 

Loans and receivables

Bank loans payable

 

Other financial liabilities

Note payable

 

Other financial liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

 

Other financial liabilities

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

l)                Financial liabilities and equity

 

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.

 

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

 

Other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized on an effective yield basis.

 

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expenses over the corresponding period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments over the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

 

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.

 

4)             Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

 

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount and classification of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revisions affect only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.

 

The following are the critical judgments and areas involving estimates, that management have made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amount recognized in the financial statements.

 

a)             Key sources of estimation uncertainty

 

Useful life of property, plant and equipment

 

The Company reviews the estimated lives of its property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. There were no material changes in the lives of plant and equipment for the years ended 31 December 2017 or 2016.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Biological assets and inventory

 

In calculating the value of the biological assets and inventory, management is required to make a number of estimates, including estimating the stage of growth of the cannabis up to the point of harvest, harvesting costs, selling costs, sales price, wastage and expected yields for the cannabis plant. In calculating final inventory values, management is required to determine an estimate for spoiled or expired inventory and compares the inventory cost verses net realizable value.

 

5)             Accounting standards issued but not yet effective

 

The following accounting standards have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board but are not yet effective for the Company; both the effective date and the expected impact are noted, based on the information currently available.

 

a)             IFRS 9, Financial Instruments

 

IFRS 9 was initially issued by the IASB on 12 November 2009 and issued in its completed version in July 2014, and will replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 replaces the multiple rules in IAS 39 with a measurement model for debt instruments having three categories: amortized cost, fair value through OCI and fair value through profit and loss. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Financial assets that are equity instruments are measured at fair value through profit and loss unless irrevocably designated as fair value through OCI. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, based on expected credit losses, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018.

 

b)             IFRS 15, Revenue from Contract with Customers

 

IFRS 15 is 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 is currently assessing the effects of these new standards and intends to adopt them on their effective dates.

 

6)             Financial instrument classification and measurement

 

Financial instruments of the Company carried on the statement of financial position are carried at amortized cost. There are no significant differences between the carrying value of financial instruments and their estimated fair values as at 31 December 2017.

 

The Company classifies the fair value of these transactions according to the following hierarchy.

 

·                  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments.

 

·                  Level 2 — quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

 

11



 

BROKEN COAST CANNABIS LTD.

Canadian Dollars

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

·                  Level 3 — valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

a)             Fair values of financial assets and liabilities

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, bank loans payable, and notes payable. As at 31 December 2017 and 2016, the carrying value of cash is fair value. Amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, bank loans payable, and note payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

b)             Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Company’s earnings or the value of its financial instruments. Market risk is comprised of commodity price risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns. The Company is not exposed to significant market risk.

 

c)              Credit risk

 

Credit risk arises from the potential that a counter party will fail to perform its obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk from customers. The Company has a significant number of customers which minimizes the concentration of credit risk. Further mitigation of credit risk is achieved as the Company’s retail customers pay for their purchases before goods are shipped. The Company’s retail sales comprise 90% (2016 - 99%) of gross sales; accordingly, the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk.

 

d)             Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk of losses that arise as a result of changes in contracted interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on variable rate term loan with Vancity. A 1% shift in the Company’s variable rate term loan would result in an impact of approximately $30,000.

 

e)              Currency risk

 

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s operations are limited to Canada which significantly reduces exposure to currency risk. As at 31 December 2017 and 2016, the Company holds no cash denominated in foreign currency and therefore is not exposed to significant foreign currency risk.

 

f)               Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company controls liquidity risk by ensuring that it has sufficient cash resources to pay for its financial obligations. As at 31 December 2017, the Company had a cash balance of $2,112,182 to settle current monetary liabilities of $8,614,587 which are due within one year. Subsequent to year-end, the Company was acquired by Aphria Inc. and the bank loans payable have been repaid in full. Accordingly, the Company is not significantly exposed to liquidity risk. The Company is obligated to the following contractual maturities of cash flows:

$

All of the plants are to be harvested as agricultural produce. The significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of biological assets are as follows:

 

i)                 Expected yields by plant;

ii)              stage of growth;

iii)           selling prices;

iv)          wastage; and

v)             harvesting and selling costs.

 

The Company estimates the harvest yields for the plants at various stages of growth. The Company’s 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.

 

Sales price used in the valuation of biological assets is based on the average selling price of all cannabis products, and can vary based on different strains being grown as well as 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 variety of factors, such as strains being grown, length of growing cycle, and space allocated for growing.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Management reviews all significant inputs based on historical information obtained as well as based on planned production schedules. Only when there is a material change from the existing 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.

 

Inventory is comprised of the following items:

The Company estimates the harvest yields for the plants at various stages of growth. As of 31 December 2017, it is expected that the Company’s biological assets will yield approximately 468kg (2016 – 71kg). The Company’s estimates are, by their nature, subject to change. Changes in the anticipated yield will be reflected in future changes in the gain or loss on biological assets. As at 31 December 2017, the Company held 546kg of dry cannabis (2016 – 81kg) and 125kg of cannabis oil (2016 – 15kg).

Pursuant to the loan agreements, the Company must maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of a minimum of 1.35 and a Debt to Equity Ratio not exceeding 2:1 to be in effect at all times. Default occurs if breach of the above covenants are not corrected within 15 days of notice having been provided to the Company.

In addition to the above covenants, the Company shall not, without prior written consent of the Bank, alter the ownership of any capital stock of the Company.

12)      Note payable

 

On 4 March 2015 the Company entered into a Binding Heads of Agreement (the “Agreement’) with Capital Mining Limited (“CMY”) whereby CMY agrees to acquire certain shares in the Company. Upon execution of the Agreement, CMY agrees to make a loan available to the Company in the amount of $500,000. The loan is unsecured, and bears no interest. On 4 March 2016, at the election of the Company, $250,000 of the loan shall be forgiven and the remaining $250,000 of the principal amount shall be repaid to CMY in cash; or, the principal amount will be converted into common shares of the Company at an issue price based on a valuation of all issued and allotted shares of the Company. During the year ended 31 December 2015, the Company elected to accept forgiveness of the $250,000 and repay the remaining $250,000. However, the Company did not repay the $250,000 on 4 March 2016 as required by the Agreement. Accordingly, CMY commenced legal proceedings against the Company to recover the full $500,000 note payable. In an effort to resolve the claim, the Company and CMY agreed to participate in mediation in the Court of Western Australia. On 24 March 2017, the Company and CMY entered into a deed of settlement and agreed to settle the note payable for $250,000.

To the Shareholders of

Cannan Growers Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Cannan Growers Inc., which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2017 and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes, which comprise a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

 

Management’s responsibility for the financial statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

 

1)             Nature of operations

 

Cannan Growers Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on 29 August 2013 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia and its principle business is to hold investment funds in Canadian Controlled Private Corporations.

 

The address of the Company’s corporate and administrative office is located #3709 1st Avenue, Burnaby, BC, V5C 3V6 and its operations are within the Province of British Columbia.

 

2)             Basis of preparation — Statement of Compliance

 

These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and related IFRS interpretations Committee (“IFRIC’s”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

 

These financial statements were approved by the board of directors and authorized for issue on 8 May 2018.

 

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgements, and assumptions that affect that application of the Company’s accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, profit and expenses. The areas involving a higher degree of judgements or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 5. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on current facts and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

3)             Summary of significant accounting policies

 

a)             Basis of measurement

 

These financial statements have been prepared in Canadian dollars on a historical cost basis. Historical cost is generally based upon the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company.

 

b)             Measurement uncertainty

 

The preparation of these financial statements, in conformity with IFRS, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.

 

The Company’s key estimates relate to the valuation for deferred tax assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates require the extensive use of judgment about the nature, cost and timing of the work to be completed, and may change with future changes to costs, environmental laws and regulations. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

 

c)              Financial instruments

 

All financial instruments must be recognized, initially, at fair value on the statements of financial position. The Company has classified each financial instrument into the following categories: “fair value through profit or loss,” “loans and receivables,” and “other liabilities.” Subsequent measurement of the financial instruments is based on their respective classification. Unrealized gains and losses on fair value through profit or loss instruments are recognized in earnings. The other categories of financial instruments are recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company has made the following classifications:

 

Financial Asset or Liability

 

Category

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Loans and receivables

 

Due from related parties

 

Loans and receivables

 

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

 

Other liabilities

 

Due to shareholders

 

Other liabilities

 

 

d)             Income taxes

 

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the statements of comprehensive income except to the extent it relates to items recognized in equity.

 

Current income tax

 

Current tax expense is based on the results for the period as adjusted for items that are not taxable or not deductible. Current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that were enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. Provisions are established where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

 

Deferred tax

 

Deferred taxes are the taxes expected to be payable or recoverable on the difference between the carrying amounts of assets in the statements of financial position and their corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and their corresponding tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

 

Deferred tax liabilities:

 

·                  are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences;

·                  are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries except where the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

·                  are not recognized on temporary differences that arise from goodwill which is not deductible for tax purposes.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

 

Deferred tax assets:

 

·                  are recognized to the extent it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized; and

·                  are reviewed at the end of the reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of an asset to be recovered.

 

e)              Investment in equity investees

 

The Company’s investment in Broken Coast Cannabis Ltd. is accounted for using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28. The investment is initially recognized at the historical cost of each purchase of shares and includes transaction costs. After initial recognition, the 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 investee 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 investment in equity investee is tested for impairment in accordance with the policy described below.

 

f)               Cash

 

Cash consists of cash deposited in a large Canadian credit union.

 

g)             Financial liabilities and equity

 

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.

 

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

 

Other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized on an effective yield basis.

 

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expenses over the corresponding period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments over the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

 

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.

h)             Impairment of long-lived assets

 

At each financial position reporting date the carrying amounts of the Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use, which is the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in the profit or loss for the period.

 

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

4)             Restatement of previously reported financial statements

 

Subsequent to the issuance of the previously reported financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 (filed on SEDAR on March 1, 2018) management determined that the income from equity investee and deferred income tax expense should be considered operating income not other comprehensive income. Management also identified a loan which had been settled for shares was shown as a cash payment and receipt within the statements of cash flows.

 

The following table summarize the effects of the adjustments described above:

5)             Critical accounting judgements and estimates

 

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount and classification of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in

CANNAN GROWERS INC.

Canadian Funds

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

 

which the estimate is revised if the revisions affect only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.

 

The following are the critical judgments and areas involving estimates, that management have made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amount recognized in the financial statements.

 

a)             Key sources of estimation uncertainty

 

Income taxes

 

Provisions for income taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by taxing authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were originally recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

 

6)             Accounting standards issued but not yet effective

 

The following accounting standards have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) but are not yet effective for the Company; both the effective date and the expected impact are noted, based on the information currently available.

 

a)             IFRS 9, Financial Instruments

 

IFRS 9 was initially issued by the IASB on 12 November 2009 and issued in its completed version in July 2014, and will replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 replaces the multiple rules in IAS 39 with a measurement model for debt instruments having three categories: amortized cost, fair value through OCI and fair value through profit and loss. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Financial assets that are equity instruments are measured at fair value through profit and loss unless irrevocably designated as fair value through OCI. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, based on expected credit losses, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018.

 

7)             Financial instrument classification and measurement

 

Financial instruments of the Company carried on the statements of financial position are carried at amortized cost. There are no significant differences between the carrying value of financial instruments and their estimated fair values as at 31 December 2017.

 

a)             Fair values of financial assets and liabilities

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to shareholders. As at 31 December 2017 and 2016, the carrying value of cash is fair value. Due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to shareholders equal their fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

b)             Credit risk

 

Credit risk arises from the potential that a counter party will fail to perform its obligations. The Company is not exposed to significant credit risk.

 

10



 

CANNAN GROWERS INC.

Canadian Funds

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

 

c)              Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk of losses that arise as a result of changes in contracted interest rates. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as all amounts are held through non-interest or fixed interest related party loans.

 

d)             Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk arises through the excess of financial obligations over available financial assets due at any point in time. As the Company is a vehicle through which other investments are held, its strategy is to minimize the total amount of ongoing liquidity requirements to amounts that can be discharged and funded by related parties.

 

8)             Investment in Broken Coast Cannabis Ltd.

 

Broken Coast Cannabis Ltd. (“Broken Coast”), formerly Greenleaf Medicinals Ltd., was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on 21 February 2013.

 

The registered and records office of the Broken Coast is 4th Floor, 931 Fort Street, Victoria, BC, V8V 3K3.
