Aphria Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020
(Unaudited - in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)

 

1.Nature of operations

 

Aphria Inc. (the "Company" or “Aphria”) is a leading global cannabis company inspiring and empowering the worldwide community to live their very best life. The Company exists under the laws of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), is licensed to produce and sell medical and adult-use cannabis, cannabis-derived extracts, and derivative cannabis products in Canada under the provisions of The Cannabis Act.

 

Broken Coast Cannabis Ltd. (“Broken Coast”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company licensed to produce and sell cannabis under The Cannabis Act.

 

1974568 Ontario Ltd. (“Aphria Diamond”) is a 51% majority-owned subsidiary of the Company. Aphria Diamond is licensed to produce cannabis under the provisions of The Cannabis Act.

 

SweetWater Brewing Company, LLC (“SweetWater”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary operating in the beverage alcohol industry in the United States.

 

The registered office of the Company is located at 1 Adelaide Street East, Suite 2310, Toronto, Ontario.

 

The Company’s common shares are listed under the symbol “APHA” on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) in Canada and the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations Exchange (“NASDAQ”) in the United States.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 9, 2021.

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, 2020, 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

All figures presented in the consolidated financial statements are reflected in Canadian dollars; however, the functional currency of the Company includes the Canadian dollar, United States dollar and the Euro.

Foreign currency transactions are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Company’s entities at the exchange rates in effect on the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate applicable at the statement of financial position date. Non-monetary items carried at historical cost denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the date of the transactions. Non-monetary items carried at fair value denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the date when the fair value was determined. Realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses are recognized through profit and loss.

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations reported in their functional currencies are translated into Canadian dollars, the Group’s presentation currency, at period-end exchange rates. Income and expenses, and cash flows of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars using average exchange rates. Exchange differences resulting from translating foreign operations are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity. The Company and all of its subsidiaries’ functional currency is Canadian dollars, with the exception of SweetWater and CC Pharma GmbH whose functional currency is the United States Dollar and Euro respectively.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020
(Unaudited - in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)

 

(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. The following is a list of the Company’s operating subsidiaries:

 

Subsidiaries Jurisdiction of incorporation Ownership interest
Broken Coast Cannabis Ltd. British Columbia, Canada 100%
SweetWater Brewing Company, LLC Georgia, United States of America 100%
ARA - Avanti Rx Analytics Inc. Ontario, Canada 100%
FL Group S.r.l. Italy 100%
ABP, S.A. Argentina 100%
Aphria Germany GmbH Germany 100%
Aphria RX GmbH Germany 100%
CC Pharma GmbH Germany 100%
CC Pharma Research and Development GmbH Germany 100%
Aphria Wellbeing GmbH Germany 100%
Marigold Projects Jamaica Limited Jamaica 95%1  
ASG Pharma Ltd. Malta 100%  
ColCanna S.A.S. Colombia 90%  
CC Pharma Nordic ApS Denmark 75%  
1974568 Ontario Ltd. Ontario, Canada 51%  

 

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

 

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

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, 2020. For comparative purposes, the Company has reclassified certain immaterial items on the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position and the condensed interim consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) to conform with the current period’s presentation.

 

 

 

 

1 The Company holds 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of Marigold Projects Jamaica Limited through wholly-owned subsidiary Marigold Acquisitions Inc. The Company holds rights through a licensing agreement to 95% of the results of operations of Marigold Projects Jamaica Limited.

Transferred to inventory upon harvest   (219,642)
Balance at February 28, 2021  $27,065 

The Company values cannabis plants at cost, which approximates fair value from the date of initial clipping from mother plants until half-way through the flowering cycle of the plants. Measurement of the biological transformation of the plant at fair value less costs to sell begins in the fourth week prior to harvest and is recognized evenly until the point of harvest. The number of weeks in the growing cycle is between twelve and sixteen weeks from propagation to harvest. The Company has determined the fair value less costs to sell of cannabis to be between $2.40 and $2.90 per gram, upon harvest for greenhouse produced cannabis (May 31, 2020 - $3.00 per gram) and between $3.50 and $4.00 per gram (May 31, 2020 - $4.00 per gram), upon harvest for indoor produced cannabis. The Company has determined the fair value increment on cannabis trim to be $nil per gram (May 31, 2020 - $0.01 per gram).

The fair value of biological assets is determined using a valuation model to estimate expected harvest yield per plant applied to the estimated price per gram less processing and selling costs. Only when there is a material change from the expected fair value used for cannabis does the Company make any adjustments to the fair value used. During the period, the Company amended the fair value based on an expected lower average selling price with the release of the Company’s economy brands, which the Company is using to create demand for lower potency harvested cannabis.

 

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

The harvest yield is between 20 grams and 60 grams per plant;
The selling price is between $1.50 and $6.50 per gram of cannabis;
Processing costs include drying and curing, testing, post-harvest overhead allocation, packaging and labelling costs between $0.30 and $0.80 per gram;
Selling costs include shipping, order fulfilment, patient acquisition and patient maintenance costs between $0.00 and $1.50 per gram;

 

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

 

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

Selling price per gram - a decrease in the average selling price per gram by 5% would result in the biological asset value decreasing by $674 (May 31, 2020 - $682) and inventory decreasing by $12,215 (May 31, 2020 - $9,895)
Harvest yield per plant - a decrease in the harvest yield per plant of 5% would result in the biological asset value decreasing by $404 (May 31, 2020 - $439)

 

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

On November 25, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Four Twenty Corporation, completed the purchase of all the shares of SW Brewing Company, LLC which is the holding company of 100% of the common shares of SweetWater. The purchase price consisted of cash consideration of $255,543 USD ($332,283 CAD), share consideration of 9,823,183 shares, and additional cash consideration of up to $66,000 USD contingent on SweetWater achieving specified EBITDA targets. The fair value of the shares on the date the Company closed the acquisition was $85,796, the fair value of the contingent consideration on the date the Company closed the acquisition was $58,959 USD ($76,664 CAD). During the quarter, the Company completed their review of the opening net working capital in accordance with the purchase agreement. Based on this review, the Company recorded an adjustment to the purchase price of $1,016 USD ($1,321 CAD) associated with the adjustment to the opening working capital acquired.

 

The Company is in the process of assessing the fair value of the net assets acquired and, as a result, the fair value of the net assets acquired may be subject to adjustments pending completion of final valuations and post-closing adjustments. The table below summarizes preliminary estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the effective acquisition date.

Revenue and net income and comprehensive net income for the Company would have been higher by approximately $40,000 and $16,000 for the nine months ended February 29, 2021 if the acquisition had taken place on June 1, 2020. In connection with this transaction, the Company expensed transaction costs of $20,870.

 

The contingent consideration from the acquisition of SweetWater is a fair value measurement and as such is carried at fair value. The fair value has been determined by discounting future expected cash outflows at a discount rate of 5%. The inputs into the future expected cash outflows are level 3 on the fair value hierarchy and are subject to volatility and uncertainty, which could significantly affect the fair value of the contingent consideration in future periods. As at February 28, 2021, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $76,196, expected to be paid in December 2023.

31.Financial risk management and financial instruments

 

Financial instruments

 

The Company has classified its financial instruments as described in Note 3 of the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2020.

 

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

 

The Company’s long-term debt of $25,121 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 February 28, 2021 was $24,802.

Financial risk management

 

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

 

(a)Credit risk

 

The maximum credit exposure at February 28, 2021 is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaids and other current assets, promissory notes receivable and convertible notes receivable. All cash and cash equivalents are placed with major financial institutions.

 

  Total 0-30 days 31-60 days 61-90 days 90+ days
Trade receivables                  81,890                  67,971                    9,838                    1,945                    2,136
    83% 12% 2% 3%

 

(b)Liquidity risk

 

As at February 28, 2021, the Company’s financial liabilities consist of bank indebtedness and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which have contractual maturity dates within one-year, long-term debt, and convertible debentures which have contractual maturities over the next five years.

 

Aphria maintains a debt service charge covenant on certain loans secured by its Aphria One facilities that is measured at year-end only. The Company believes that it has sufficient operating room with respect to its financial covenants for the next fiscal year and does not anticipate being in breach of any of its financial covenants.

 

The Company manages its liquidity risk by reviewing its capital requirements on an ongoing basis. Based on the Company’s working capital position at February 28, 2021, management regards liquidity risk to be low.

 

(c)Currency rate risk

 

As at February 28, 2021, a portion of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities held in United States Dollars (“USD”) and Euros consist of cash and cash equivalents, convertible notes receivable, and long-term investments. 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 the functional currency. The Company is exposed to currency rate risk in other comprehensive income, relating to foreign subsidiaries which operate in a foreign currency. The Company does not currently use foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure of its foreign currency cash flows as management has determined that this risk is not significant at this point in time.

The Company is exposed to unrealized foreign exchange risk through its cash and cash equivalents. As at February 28, 2021, approximately $190,000 USD ($240,000 CAD) of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents was in United States dollars. A 1% change in the foreign exchange rate would result in an unrealized gain or loss of approximately $2,400.

 

(d)Interest rate price risk

 

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

 

(e)Capital management

 

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

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

 

32.Commitments and contingencies

 

The Company has committed purchase orders outstanding at February 28, 2021 related to capital asset expansion of $1,840, all of which are expected to be paid within the next year.

 

The following table presents the future undiscounted payment associated with lease liabilities as of February 28, 2021:

 2025    3,847 
 2026    3,724

The Company incurred interest expense associated with its lease liabilities of $662 and $834 (2020 - $80 and $241) for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2021.

 

From time to time, the Company and/or its subsidiaries may become defendants in legal actions arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of its business.

 

As of February 28, 2021, the Company was served statements of claims in class action lawsuits against the Company and certain of its officers and former officers. These claims relate to alleged misconduct in connection with the Company’s acquisitions of LATAM Holdings Inc. ("LATAM") and Nuuvera Inc., and the Company’s June 2018 securities offering. At the present time, the representative claimants have been identified and selected in both the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. claims include alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The Canadian claims include alleged statutory and common law misrepresentation and oppression. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in each of these actions. With respect to the cases commenced in the U.S., the Company pursued a motion to dismiss the U.S. claim. The Company’s motion was denied and the claim was maintained against the Company and certain of its former and current senior officers. The Company is currently pursuing a motion to reconsider during which time, the primary action is stayed pending the decision on the motion to reconsider. In the U.S. action, the Company is self-insured for the costs associated with any award or damages arising from such actions and has entered into indemnity agreements with each of the directors and officers and, subject to certain exemptions, will cover any costs incurred by them in connection with any of the class action claims. Canadian insurance coverage may not be sufficient to fully cover any judgments against the Company. As at February 28, 2021, the Company has not recorded any uninsured amount related to this contingency.

 

As of July 20, 2020, a proposed class action (the “Langevin Class Action”) has been commenced against a number of Canadian licensed producers including the Company and its subsidiary, Broken Coast (collectively, the “Defendants”) by Lisa Marie Langevin (the “Plaintiff”) on behalf of all persons in Canada who purchased cannabis products that were manufactured, sold, promoted, or distributed by the Defendants and consumed prior to the labelled expiry date of such products on or after June 16, 2010, if such products were used for medicinal purposes and on or after October 17, 2018, if such products were used for recreational purposes (the “Proposed Class”). The Plaintiff specifically alleges that (i) the Defendants marketed medicinal and recreational cannabis products with an advertised content of THC and CBD that was “drastically different” (higher and lower percentages) from the actual amount in the cannabis products and (ii) the Plaintiff suggests that the plastic bottles or caps used to store the cannabis products may have absorbed or degraded the THC or CBD content. The Plaintiff seeks recovery of the money the Proposed Class spent on the Defendants’ products that did not contain what they were advertised to contain and compensatory damages for those who suffered physical or mental injuries as a result of the Defendants’ mislabeling of the products. Amended pleadings were served on the company on December 12, 2020 adding a new plaintiff to the action. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in each of these actions. Canadian insurance coverage may not be sufficient to fully cover any judgments against the Company. As at February 28, 2021, the Company has not recorded any uninsured amount related to this contingency.

The following event occurred subsequent to February 28, 2021:

 

a)On April 6th, 2021, the Company renegotiated its supply agreement with the 51% majority-owned subsidiary, Aphria Diamond. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the company maintains the exclusive supply of cannabis products, over a larger offering of cannabis products on more favourable pricing terms than previously agreed between the parties, wherein such favourable pricing is effective as of June 1, 2020. The transaction will be accounted for through equity and adjustments to non-controlling interest amounts in the period the agreement was reached.
