Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Shareholders of

Canopy Growth Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Canopy Growth Corporation, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, and the consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits 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 consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.

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

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Canopy Growth Corporation as at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Refer to Note 14 for additional information on subsidiaries of the Company with non-controlling interests.

Business combinations

Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the recognized amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed, all measured as of the acquisition date. Any excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the assumed consideration paid is a gain on business acquisition and is recognized as a gain in the Statement of Operations. The Company elects on a transaction-by-transaction basis whether to measure non-controlling interest at its fair value or at its proportionate share of the recognized amount of the identifiable net assets, at the acquisition date.

 

Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

Basis of presentation (continued)

Joint operations

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, related to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of parties sharing control. The Company recognizes only its assets, liabilities and share of the results of operations of the joint operation. The assets, liabilities and results of joint operations are included within the respective line items of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders Equity and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

 

Refer to Note 13 for additional information on the Company’s joint operation.

 

Investments in associates

Associates are entities over which the Company exercises significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but without control or joint control over those policies. The Company accounts for associates using the equity method of accounting. Interests in associates accounted for using the equity method are initially recognized at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, the carrying value of the Company’s interest in an associate is adjusted for the Company’s share of comprehensive income and distributions of the investee. The carrying value of associates is assessed for impairment at each balance sheet date.

Refer to Note 15 for additional information on associates of the Company.

Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in Canadian dollars on a historical cost basis except for biological assets, assets classified as held for sale, available for sale investments, other long-term liabilities and derivatives, which are measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based upon the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether the price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Fair value measurements are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 - valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

Level 3 - valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist.

Further information on fair value measurements is available in Notes 5, 10(c) and 28.

Classification of expenses

The expenses within the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) are presented by function. Refer to Note 22 for details of expenses by nature.

Significant accounting policies

(a) Foreign currency translation

All figures presented in the consolidated financial statements and tabular disclosures to the consolidated financial statements are reflected in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company.

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

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition, are translated in Canadian dollars at year-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.

(b) Biological assets

The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants. With the exception of depreciation, which is directly expensed in the period and presented separately in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, the Company capitalizes the direct and indirect costs incurred related to the biological transformation of the biological assets between the point of initial recognition and the point of harvest. The Company then measures the biological assets at fair value less cost to sell up to the point of harvest, which becomes the basis for the cost of finished goods inventories after harvest. The net unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in fair value less cost to sell during the year are included in the results of operations of the related year. Seeds are measured at fair value.

(c) Inventory

Inventories of harvested work-in-process and finished goods are valued 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 the initial 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. Inventories for resale and supplies and consumables are valued at the lower of costs and net realizable value, with cost determined using the average cost basis.

(d) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the following terms:

Computer equipment

 

2-3 years

Office/lab equipment

 

3-5 years

Furniture and fixtures

 

3-10 years

Warehouse equipment

 

5-15 years

Production equipment

 

3-30 years

Leasehold improvements

 

3-20 years

Building and improvements

 

20-40 years

Greenhouse and improvements

 

20-25 years

An asset’s residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed during each financial year and adjusted if appropriate. When parts of an item of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the item and recognized in profit or loss.

Assets under capital lease are amortized according to their asset category.

Assets in process are transferred to the appropriate asset class when available for use and depreciation of the assets commences at that point.

3.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

(e) Finite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets

Finite-lived intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the following terms:

 

Domain name

 

5 years

Health Canada licenses

 

Useful life of facility or lease term

Distribution channel

 

5 years

Import license

 

4 years

Software

 

3 years

 

The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are comprised of acquired product rights and brand name which are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

(f) Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at each statement of financial position date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the cash-generating unit, or "CGU"). The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is the higher of its fair value, less costs to sell, and its value in use. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment charge is recognized immediately in profit or loss equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lesser of the revised estimate of recoverable amount, and the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized previously.

(g) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the price paid for the acquisition of an entity over the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired. Goodwill is allocated to the CGU or CGUs to which it relates. Currently, the Company has one reportable segment. The Company has determined that the goodwill associated with all acquisitions belongs to this segment as this is the lowest level at which management monitors goodwill.

 

Goodwill is measured at historical cost and is evaluated for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment. CGUs have been grouped for purposes of impairment testing. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing if the carrying value of CGUs, including goodwill, exceeds its recoverable amount determined as the greater of the estimated fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. Impairment losses recognized in respect of the CGUs are first allocated to the carrying value of goodwill and any excess is allocated to the carrying amount of assets in the CGUs. Any goodwill impairment is recorded in income in the period in which the impairment is identified. Impairment losses on goodwill are not subsequently reversed.

(h) Leased assets

The Company leases some items of property, plant and equipment. A lease of property, plant and equipment is classified as a capital lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Company. A lease of property, plant and equipment is classified as an operating lease whenever the terms of the lease do not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. Lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed.

(Expressed in CDN $000’s except share amounts)

 

3.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

(i) 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.

(j) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions have been satisfied:

 

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 measured reliably;

 

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 measured reliably.

(k) 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.

(l) Income taxes

The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities for accounting purposes, and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in statutory tax rates is recognized in profit or loss in the year of change. Deferred income tax assets are recorded when their recoverability is considered probable and are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

(m) Share-based compensation

The Company measures equity settled share-based payments based on their fair value at the grant date and recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. Expected forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant and subsequently adjusted if further information indicates actual forfeitures may vary from the original estimate. The impact of the revision of the original estimate is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate. For share based payments granted to non-employees the compensation expense is measured at the fair value of the good and services received except where the fair value cannot be estimated in which case it is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The fair value of share-based compensation to non-employees is periodically re-measured until counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the period and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity instruments. Consideration paid by employees or non-employees on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and the related share-based compensation is transferred from share-based reserve to share capital.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

(n) Earnings (loss) per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share data for its common shares. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which comprise warrants and share options issued.

(o) Financial instruments

Financial assets

The Company initially recognizes financial assets at fair value on the date that they are originated. All financial assets (including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss, “FVTPL”) are recognized initially on the date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability.

The Company classifies its financial assets as financial assets at FVTPL, available for sale (“AFS”) financial assets or loans and receivables. A financial asset is classified at FVTPL if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets are designated at FVTPL if the Company manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy. Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss.

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as AFS or are not classified as loans and receivables or financial assets at FVTPL. AFS financial assets are stated at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 28. Changes in the carrying amount of AFS monetary financial assets relating to changes in foreign currency rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and dividends on AFS equity investments are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of AFS financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). When the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in OCI is reclassified to profit or loss. AFS equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of each reporting period.

Financial liabilities

The Company initially recognizes financial liabilities at fair value on the date that they are originated. All financial liabilities (including liabilities designated at FVTPL) are recognized initially on the date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

The Company classifies its financial liabilities as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or other liabilities. Subsequent to initial recognition other liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities at fair value are stated at fair value with changes being recognized in profit or loss.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those classified at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.

(p) Critical judgments in applying accounting policies

The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations (refer to (q) below), that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.

Business combinations

Judgment is used in determining whether an acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition. Judgement is also required to assess whether the amounts paid on achievement of milestones represents contingent consideration or compensation for post-acquisition services. Judgment is also required to assess whether contingent consideration should be classified as equity or a liability. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with IAS 39, or IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognized in profit or loss.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

(p) Critical judgments in applying accounting policies (continued)

Control, joint control or level of influence

When determining the appropriate basis of accounting for the Company’s interests in affiliates, the Company makes judgments about the degree of influence that it exerts directly or through an arrangement over the investees’ relevant activities. Information about these judgments is included in Note 12,15 and 16.

Accounting for joint operation

Judgment was used to determine whether the joint venture agreement described in Note 13 should be accounted for as a joint operation or a joint venture. Given the Company has rights to substantially all the economic benefits of the arrangement, through its obligation to purchase all of the output of BC Tweed, and also has an obligation for the liabilities of the arrangement the Company has concluded it will be accounted for as a joint operation. The Company will recognize its share of assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses in its consolidated financial statements on the basis of the Company’s proportionate share of BC Tweed’s output, being 100%.

(q) Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

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, average or expected selling prices and list prices, expected yields for the cannabis plants, and oil conversion factors. In calculating final inventory values, management compares the inventory cost to estimated net realizable value. Further information on estimates used in determining the fair value of biological assets is contained in Note 5.

Estimated useful lives and depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are dependent upon estimates of useful lives, which are determined through the exercise of judgment. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.

Share-based compensation

In calculating the share-based compensation expense, key estimates such as the rate of forfeiture of options granted, the expected life of the option, the volatility of the Company’s stock price and the risk free interest rate are used. To calculate the share-based compensation expense related to key employee performance milestones associated with the terms of an acquisition, the Company must estimate the number of shares that will be earned and when they will be issued based on estimated discounted probabilities.

Fair value measurements

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. In estimating fair value the Company uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. In certain cases where Level 1 inputs are not available the Company will engage third party qualified valuers to perform the valuation.

Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of biological assets is disclosed in Note 5, the retained interest in Agripharm in Note 10(c) and financial assets and liabilities in Note 28.

(r) New and revised IFRS in issue but not yet effective

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 was issued by the IASB in May 2014 and specifies how and when revenue should be recognized based on a five-step model, which is applied to all contracts with customers. On April 12, 2016, the IASB published final clarifications to IFRS 15 with respect to identifying performance obligations, principal versus agent considerations, and licensing. The Company will adopt IFRS 15 effective April 1, 2018. The Company is currently completing its assessment of the impact of this new standard.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9")

IFRS 9 was issued by the IASB in November 2009 and October 2010 and will replace IAS 39. IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. 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 liabilities are classified in a similar manner as under IAS 39. The Company will adopt IFRS 9 effective April 1, 2018. The Company is currently completing its assessment of the impact of this new standard.

IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”)

IFRS 16 was issued by the IASB in January 2016 and specifies the requirements to recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. IFRS 16 is effective for the Company for its annual period ending March 31, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company is continuing to assess the impact of this new standard on its financial position and financial performance.

5.

Biological assets (continued)

Biological assets are valued in accordance with IAS 41 and are presented at their fair values less costs to sell up to the point of harvest. The Company’s biological assets are primarily cannabis plants, and because there is no actively traded commodity market for plants or dried product, the valuation of these biological assets is obtained using valuation techniques where the inputs are based upon unobservable market data (Level 3).

 

The valuation of biological assets is based on a market approach where fair value at the point of harvest is estimated based on selling prices less the costs to sell at harvest. For in process biological assets, the fair value at point of harvest is adjusted based on the stage of growth. As at March 31, 2018, on average, the biological assets were 12% complete as to the next expected harvest date, compared to a 43% average stage of completion as at March 31, 2017.

 

The significant unobservable inputs and their range of values are noted in the table below:

 

Unobservable Inputs

Range

Sensitivity

Estimated Yield per Plant – varies by strain and is obtained through historical growing results (trailing 6-months moving average) or grower estimate if historical results are not available.

25 grams/plant to 400 grams/plant

A slight increase in the estimated yield per plant would result in a significant increase in fair value, and vice versa.

Listed Selling Price of Dry Cannabis – varies by strain and is obtained through listed selling prices or estimated selling prices if historical results are not available.

$6 to $12/gram

A slight increase in the estimated selling price per strain would result in a significant increase in fair value, and vice versa.

Property, plant and equipment (continued)

During the year ended March 31, 2018, the assets in process additions were $201,509 of which $71,155, $64,813, and $43,847 related to the expansion or growing operations at both BC locations, Smiths Falls Ontario, and Niagara-on-the-Lake, respectively. The remaining $21,694 was for ongoing projects at the Company’s other subsidiaries.

On September 7, 2017, the Company acquired the parcel of land including an operational greenhouse adjacent to its current greenhouse facility in Niagara-on-the Lake. The purchase price of $8,865 was partially settled through the payment on closing of $6,000 cash and the issuance of 111,366 common shares with a value of $1,003. The balance will be paid through the issuance of common shares to a value of $2,000 calculated at the 5-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) on the earlier of the completion of the facility’s renovation and September 7, 2018. The value to be paid was discounted to arrive at the initial present value of the obligation of $1,862. The Company also capitalized $71 of acquisition costs. The newly acquired greenhouse is undergoing improvements and is recorded in assets in process.

The $23,666 cost adjustment from leasehold improvements is largely due to improvements which were made to the facility in Smiths Falls Ontario which were transferred to building and improvements upon acquisition on January 13, 2017. On January 13, 2017, the Company acquired the 472,000 square foot property at 1 Hershey Drive that currently houses Canopy Growth’s headquarters and the Tweed production facilities for $7,163, including transaction costs of $179, from Tweed Hershey Drive Inc. (“Tweed Hershey”). Tweed Hershey was related through common ownership (the Company’s CEO and Chairman is a significant shareholder of Tweed Hershey). The purchase price was partially settled with the issuance of 94,397 of the Company’s common shares with a value of $858 and the rent deposit of $450. The shares were subject to a 4-month lockup. The remainder was paid in cash on closing. The portion of the facility that is not currently being used by the Company has been recorded in assets in process.

Goodwill arose in these acquisitions because the cost of acquisition included a control premium. In addition, the consideration paid for the combination reflected the benefit of expected revenue growth and future market development. These benefits were not recognized separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets. None of the goodwill arising on these acquisitions are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

acquistions and disposalS (continued)

(i) Tweed Grasslands Cannabis Inc. (formerly rTrees)

On May 1, 2017, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of rTrees Producers Inc. (“rTrees”), a late-stage ACMPR applicant based in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. On June 30, 2017, rTrees changed its name to Tweed Grasslands Cannabis Inc (“Tweed Grasslands”).

The consideration for the transaction included 3,494,505 common shares issued to former shareholders of rTrees, of which 2,795,604 common shares were to be held in escrow and will be either released to the former shareholders of rTrees upon the satisfaction of certain specific license achievement, or released to the Company for cancellation. The 698,901 shares released on closing were recorded at an issue price of $9.13 per share for consideration of $6,381.

The shares being held in escrow were recorded as equity based contingent consideration. The achievement of milestones was assessed probabilities by management which were then discounted to present value in order to derive a fair value of the contingent consideration. In aggregate, the amount of contingent consideration is up to $25,524 with a fair value of $21,714 at the acquisition date. All the milestones were achieved in fiscal 2018 and the shares were released from escrow.

Other consideration included $1,079 of replacement options and $1,303 of replacement warrants. There was also an effective settlement of a note receivable of $450 for total consideration of $30,927.

For the year ended March 31, 2018, rTrees contributed a loss of $1,565.

(ii) Tweed JA

On September 6, 2017, the Company subscribed for 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of Grow House JA Limited (now operating as Tweed JA), for $3,769 payable in cash. Tweed JA is a Jamaican company that had received a provisional license to cultivate and sell medical cannabis. As of March 31, 2018, $2,000 of the subscription price has been advanced and the balance of the subscription price will be advanced based on funding milestones.

Through the shareholder agreement, the Company has rights that allow it to direct the relevant activities of Tweed JA such that the Company has control, and Tweed JA is consolidated in these financial statements. The non-controlling interest recognized at the acquisition date was recorded at its proportionate share of the identifiable net assets.

For the year ended March 31, 2018, Tweed JA contributed a loss of $391.

(iii) Spectrum Cannabis Denmark ApS and acquisition of Odense operation

On September 20, 2017, the Company formed Spectrum Cannabis Denmark ApS (“Spectrum Denmark”). Spectrum Denmark will produce, cultivate and distribute medical cannabis products in Denmark. Spectrum Denmark will also seek to establish operations in other jurisdictions in Europe where federally lawful and regulated. The Company owns 62% of the issued shares of Spectrum Denmark and Danish Cannabis ApS (“Danish Cannabis”) owns the remaining 38% of shares.

Upon achievement of defined milestones, Danish Cannabis has a right to exchange its shares in Spectrum Denmark for a maximum of 1,906,214 common shares of the Company. On issuance, the shares are subject to either a three or six month restriction on trading. If after 4 years, the defined milestones are not met then the Company will be entitled to purchase any remaining interest of Danish Cannabis in Spectrum Denmark for up to $6,000. The shares are being provided in exchange for the services that the principals of Danish Cannabis are providing to Spectrum Denmark and are being accounted for as share-based compensation expense. The fair value on the grant date of September 20, 2017, of $18,805 was estimated by discounting the quoted price of the shares to reflect the restriction on trading using a put option pricing model. The Company is amortizing the expense over the estimated vesting period. For the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded $7,206 in share-based compensation related to these shares.  

On December 5, 2017, Spectrum Denmark purchased a 40,000 square meter operating greenhouse facility in Odense, Denmark (“Odense”) from a liquidator for cash consideration of $3,228. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination and generated a bargain purchase gain of $ 638 which is included in Other income and expense. Excluding the impact of the bargain purchase gain for the year ended March 31, 2018, Odense contributed a loss of $1,772. The accounting for the acquisition of Odense was only provisionally determined at December 31, 2017. The Company has now completed its final assessment of the accounting for this transaction.

acquistions and disposalS (continued)

(iv) Vert Mirabel

On December 18, 2017, the Company, Canopy Rivers and Les Serres Stephane Bertrand Inc. (“Bertrand”) formed a new company, Les Serres Vert Cannabis Inc. (“Vert Mirabel”). Bertrand was a large-scale greenhouse operator in Mirabel, Quebec. The Company owns 40.7%, Canopy Rivers 26% and Bertrand owns 33.3% of the common shares of Vert Mirabel. Vert Mirabel will lease from Bertrand its 700,000-square foot greenhouse which will be retrofitted for cannabis production. Vert Mirabel has an option to acquire the property for a term of ten years from the date Vert Mirabel receives its sales and cultivation license under ACMPR. The purchase price for acquiring the property is $20 million (this price will increase by 3% per year from the License Date with a minimum purchase price of $23 million if exercised within five years of signing this agreement).

The Company has the option to purchase from Bertrand its interest in Vert Mirabel and Bertrand has the option to sell its interest in Vert Mirabel to the Company in exchange for shares in the Company equal to the fair value of their interest in Vert Mirabel on the date of exercise. The call and put options are exercisable only on specific dates – the 5th and 10th anniversary of receiving the sales license, the 5th anniversary of the date the property is acquired and such earlier date, as the parties may mutually agree. The put option gives rise to a liability for the Company (“Vert Mirabel Put Liability”) and is recorded in the Statements of Operations in Other long-term liabilities and is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in net income in the period in which they arise. On the acquisition date the fair value of the Vert Mirabel Put Liability was estimated to be $3,750 using a discounted cash flow approach by estimating the expected future cash flows and applying a discount rate to arrive at the present value of the put option’s strike price. On March 31, 2018 the Vert Mirabel Put Liability was estimated to be $4,850 and the increase of $1,100 was recorded in Other income and expense. For further information on valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value refer to Note 28.

 

Through its direct and indirect voting rights, the Company controls Vert Mirabel. The greenhouse operation transferred by Bertrand meets the definition of a business and will be accounted for as a business combination. The Vert Mirabel Put Liability represents the consideration paid by Canopy for acquiring control of this greenhouse operation. On this date Vert Mirabel had no identifiable assets or liabilities so the offset is to goodwill. The non-controlling interests recognized at acquisition date were recorded at their proportionate share of fair value. The difference between their proportionate share and the consideration paid of $964 was recorded in equity. Given the limited time between the acquisition and the end of the third quarter the accounting for the acquisition of Vert Mirabel was only provisionally determined as of December 31, 2017.  The Company has now completed its final assessment of the accounting for this acquisition.  

The Company has agreed to purchase from Vert Mirabel 100% of the cannabis produced for a fixed price during an initial term of two years and thereafter, for a price computed with reference to the market price and has also guaranteed a minimum level of income for Vert Mirabel under this agreement. The offtake agreement terminates upon acquisition of the property by Vert Mirabel. Upon termination of the offtake agreement, Vert Mirabel will agree to provide the Company with a right of first offer to the cannabis produced by Vert Mirabel.

Canopy Rivers has committed to contribute up to $15,000 in cash, in exchange for Class A Preferred Shares with cumulative preferred dividends at a rate of 18%. Of this amount, $750 was advanced on closing.

The Company will issue to Bertrand $2,750 of common stock in four equal tranches upon achievement of various milestones. These payments will be accounted for as share-based compensation expense. The fair value on the grant date of December 18, 2018, of $2,599 was estimated by discounting the value of the shares. The Company is amortizing the expense over the estimated vesting period. For the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded $1,131 in share-based compensation related to these shares.

Excluding the increase in the Vert Mirabel Put Liability for the year ended March 31, 2018, Vert Mirabel contributed a loss of $1,411.

Acquisition related costs of $54 were recognized as an expense for the year ended March 31, 2018.

(v) Other fiscal 2018 acquisitions

On August 28, 2017, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Spot Therapeutics Inc. (“Spot”), an ACMPR applicant based in Fredericton, New Brunswick. At closing, the Company issued 111,669 common shares to the shareholders of Spot which were recorded at an issue price of $8.90 per common share for consideration of $993. A second tranche payment which is estimated to be $907 will be satisfied by the issuance of additional common shares calculated using the VWAP for 20 days preceding satisfaction of tranche conditions. The payment is contingent on the performance of future services and the achievement of certain licensing and operational milestones. The second tranche payment will be treated as share-based compensation and the present value of $844 will be amortized rateably over the expected vesting period.

On January 24, 2018, the Company acquired certain assets, intellectual property, and assumed various lease contracts relating to Green Hemp Industries Ltd ("Green Hemp"), a veteran hemp farm operator based in Saskatchewan.

The consideration for the transaction included 24,577 common shares issued to Green Hemp. The 24,577 shares released on closing were recorded at an issue price of $34.87 per share for consideration of $857. Other consideration included a cash payment of $166 for total consideration of $1,023. A second tranche payment of 24,577 is contingent on the performance of future services and the achievement of certain milestones. This tranche will be treated as share-based compensation and the expense of $857 will be amortized rateably over the expected vesting period.

Acquisitions completed in Fiscal 2017 (continued)

Goodwill arose in these acquisitions because the cost of acquisition included a control premium. In addition, the consideration paid for the combination reflected the benefit of expected revenue growth and future market development, along with the assembled work force for Mettrum. These benefits were not recognized separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets. None of the goodwill arising on these acquisitions are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

(i) Mettrum (renamed Spectrum Cannabis Canada)

On January 31, 2017, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Mettrum Ltd. (“Mettrum”), a producer and vendor of medical cannabis. Subsequent to year end, Mettrum Ltd. changed its name to Spectrum Cannabis Canada Ltd (“Spectrum Cannabis Canada”).

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The consideration for the transaction was 34,265,042 shares issued at a price of $9.85 per share which totaled $337,511, less cash acquired of $12,309. Other consideration included $11,663 of replacement stock options, other share based payments of $480 and an effective settlement of accounts receivable of $680 for total consideration of $350,334. Mettrum shares and replacement options were exchanged at a ratio of 0.7132 Mettrum shares to 1 Canopy Growth share.

Acquisition related costs of $5,190 were recognized as an expense in the year ended March 31, 2017, $1,000 of which was satisfied by issuing 83,822 common shares at $11.93 per share.

For the year ended March 31, 2017, Mettrum accounted for $4,053 in net loss since January 31, 2017. This amount included $2,659 of unrealized gain on changes in fair value of biological assets and revenues of $3,033.

Had the business combination been effected at April 1, 2016, management estimates that the revenue of the Company would have been $15,428 higher and the net loss after income taxes of the Company would have increased by $12,673 for the year ended March 31, 2017.

Additional purchase consideration included replacement options and other stock based compensation offered to employees and directors of Mettrum including amounts provided to employees who were former shareholders of Apollo and Bodystream (refer to Note 20(c)).

Prior to the acquisition of Mettrum, the Company had accounts receivable of $680 from Mettrum. As a result of the business combination the preexisting relationship is effectively settled. The Company has increased the consideration transferred to account for this effective settlement.

(ii) MedCann GmbH (renamed Spektrum Cannabis GmbH)

On December 12, 2016, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of MedCann GmbH, a German-based pharmaceutical importer and distributor who has successfully placed Tweed-branded cannabis strains in German pharmacies. Subsequent to the acquisition, MedCann GmbH Pharma and Nutraceuticals changed its name to Spektrum Cannabis GmbH.

In connection with the acquisition of MedCann GmbH, the Company will issue up to 1,165,272 common shares to former shareholders of MedCann GmbH, of which 674,631 were released on closing for consideration of $6,746 and 490,641 common shares will be held in escrow and either (i) released to the former shareholders of Medcann GmbH upon the satisfaction of certain milestones, or (ii) released to the Company for cancellation.

The shares to be issued based on license achievements were accounted for as equity classified contingent consideration. Management assessed the probability and timing of achievement then discounted to present value using a put option pricing model in order to derive a fair value of the contingent consideration of $3,660. In aggregate, the amount of contingent consideration is up to $4,906 and the fair value was $3,660 at the acquisition date based on the expected timing of achievement. On November 23, 2017 the Company released 367,981 of the shares being held in escrow. As of March 31, 2018, 122,660 remain in escrow.

For the year ended March 31, 2017, MedCann GmbH accounted for $542 in net loss from December 12, 2016 to March 31, 2017, which included revenues of $35.

(ii) MedCann GmbH (renamed Spektrum Cannabis GmbH) (continued)

Had the business combination been effected at April 1, 2016, management estimates that the revenue of the Company would have been $106 higher and the net loss after income taxes of the Company would have increased by $462 for the year ended March 31, 2017.

(iii) Other fiscal 2017 acquisitions

On November 1, 2016, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Vert Médical Inc. – Green Medical Inc., a Quebec-based company that began its application for federal government approval to produce medical cannabis in 2013. On acquisition, the entity was amalgamated as Vert Cannabis Inc. (“Vert”). In connection with the acquisition of Vert, the Company paid $498 and will issue up to 294,900 common shares to former shareholders of Vert, of which 58,978 were released on closing for consideration of $413 and 235,922 common shares were held in escrow and will be released to the former shareholders of Vert upon the satisfaction of certain milestones.

The shares to be issued based on license achievements were accounted for as equity classified contingent consideration. Management assessed the probability and timing of achievement and then discounted to present value using a put option pricing model. In aggregate, the amount of contingent consideration is up to $1,651 and the fair value was $1,251 at November 1, 2016. In January 2018, 147,453 shares were released from escrow. As of March 31, 2018, 88,469 remain in escrow.

On November 1, 2016, the Company purchased 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hemp.CA. Through the acquisition, the Company obtained a hemp production license and Hemp.CA brands and digital properties. In connection with the acquisition of Hemp.CA, the Company paid $595 and will issue up to 258,037 common shares to former shareholders of Hemp.CA, of which 129,021 were issued on closing and 129,016 common shares were to be held in escrow until April 1, 2017. The common shares held in escrow were discounted to present value and amounted to $808 at November 1, 2016. In total, the consideration for the transaction was $2,344 which included $338 in cash, $295 paid on March 30, 2017, $903 in common shares issued and $808 in common shares held in escrow. On April 1, 2017, the Company released the remaining 129,016 common shares held in escrow in relation to the Hemp.CA purchase.

The non-controlling interest (25% ownership interest in Hemp) recognized at acquisition date was recorded at their proportionate share of the identifiable net assets.

Disposal of Consolidated Entity

Agripharm Corp. (“Agripharm’) holds the lease and a Health Canada license for a facility at Creemore, Ontario. Prior to December 1, 2017, Agripharm was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On December 1, 2017, the Company’s interest in Agripharm was diluted from 100% to 40% under an arrangement whereby Green House Holdings North America Inc. and National Concessions Group Inc. granted exclusive royalty-free licenses in Canada to certain proprietary technology, trademarks, genetics, know-how and other intellectual property to Agripharm in exchange for shares of Agripharm. At the same time, Agripharm entered into an agreement to sublicense these licenses to the Company, as permitted under the arrangement.

ACQUISTIONS AND DISPOSALS (CONTINUED)

(c) Disposal of Consolidated Entity (continued)

Following this transaction, the Company no longer controls Agripharm and the Company derecognized the assets and liabilities of Agripharm from its consolidated financial statements at their carrying amounts. Goodwill of $2,259 was allocated to Agripharm on the basis of the relative values of Agripharm on the date control was lost and the Company as a whole. The derecognized assets and liabilities on November 30, 2017, were as follows:

 

Cash and cash equivalents

Fair value of retained interest

 

 

38,400

 

Gain on disposal of consolidated entity

 

$

8,820

 

 

The gain calculated on the derecognition of Agripharm’s assets and liabilities is the difference between the carrying amounts of the derecognized assets and liabilities of Agripharm and the fair value of consideration received, being the fair value of the Company’s retained interest in Agripharm. The fair value of this interest was estimated to be $38,400 which was determined using a discounted cash flow approach. The most significant inputs to the fair value measurement are the discount rate, expectations about future prices and capacity of the facility.

Through its ownership and other rights, the Company continues to have significant influence over Agripharm and will account for its retained interest in Agripharm using the equity method of accounting. The investment will initially be recognized at its fair value and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of net income or loss and other comprehensive income. Transaction costs of $311 have been included in the carrying value of the investment. The Company will record its share of net income or loss one quarter in arrears with adjustments for any significant transactions. To the extent that there are differences between the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Agripharm and the book value of these assets and liabilities that would impact earnings the Company has accounted for these differences in its equity earnings in the investee.

The Company also entered into an agreement with Agripharm whereby Agripharm has committed to sell up to 100% of the output produced by Agripharm to the Company, subject to the right of Agripharm to sell up to 25% of its products directly in its own physical brick-and-mortar retail locations, if permitted by applicable law. The price to be paid is cost plus a percentage of profit margin.

Contemporaneously with entering into the above agreement, Canopy Rivers committed to advance up to $20,000 to Agripharm under a repayable debenture and royalty agreement. Under the repayable debenture and royalty agreement, Canopy Rivers will receive a royalty for a term of 20 years. The repayable debenture and royalty is being accounted for as one instrument and is classified as loans and receivables and is being measured at amortized cost. To date, $3,000 has been advanced under the royalty agreement and $nil advanced under the repayable debenture.

ACQUISTIONS AND DISPOSALS (CONTINUED)

(c) Disposal of Consolidated Entity (continued)

As part of the consideration for entering into the repayable debenture and royalty agreement, Canopy Rivers also received a warrant to acquire 4% of Agripharm for $5,000. The warrant expires the later of November 16, 2020, or two years after Agripharm becomes a public company. The warrant represents a derivative financial instrument that is initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured to its fair value at the end of each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded through profit or loss. On initial recognition the fair value of the warrant was estimated as $586 using a Black-Scholes model. The fair value of the warrant was recorded as a reduction to the $3,000 receivable under the royalty agreement which resulted in the residual amount of $2,414 being allocated to the royalty receivable. Estimated future cash flows to be received under the repayable debenture and royalty agreement will be discounted back to the amounts advanced to Agripharm by Canopy Rivers, net of the warrant received, at the effective interest rate. Amounts received by Agripharm will be allocated to reduce the principal amount owing and interest payments based on the effective interest rate. Estimated future cash flows will be updated at each reporting date based on the most recent information available.

Intangible assets and goodwill (continued)

The product rights were acquired as part of the acquisition of Bedrocan Canada Inc. that was completed in August 2015. On July 14, 2017 Bedrocan Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, commenced arbitration proceedings against Bedrocan International BV (“Bedrocan International”) seeking performance of Bedrocan International’s contractual obligations under the licensing and distribution agreement between the parties. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 the Company initiated settlement negotiations with Bedrocan International which would include the orderly termination of the licensing and distribution agreement. As a result of these developments management has estimated that the recoverable amount for these product rights would be minimal and an impairment loss of $28,000 has been recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations within Other Income.

On February 7, 2018, the Company acquired a brand, certain technology, and lab equipment in exchange for the issuance of 117,253 common shares with a value of $3,239. The Company capitalized $43 of acquisition costs related to this transaction. Lab equipment of $50 was recorded to property plant, and equipment with the remaining $3,232 recorded to intangible assets. Under the terms of the transaction, the sellers will receive additional shares up to a value of $1,065 if certain milestones are met. This variable consideration will be recorded if and when these milestones are achieved. On closing of the transaction the sellers entered in to consulting agreements with the Company. As additional consideration for entering in to these agreements they will receive shares to a value of $1,127, based on the 5 day VWAP at the time the shares are issued, which will be recorded as share based compensation expense over the term of the agreements.

FORMATION OF CANOPY RIVERS

On May 12, 2017, the Company advanced $20,000 in the form of a convertible debenture to a newly formed subsidiary company, Canopy Rivers. Other investors advanced $953 of seed capital to purchase 19,066,667 Class B common shares, including $503 that was advanced by certain employees of the Company and a consultant, where the Company provided a share purchase loan which was used to pay for the Class B common shares.

On June 16, 2017, Canopy Rivers completed a Class B common share offering for aggregate gross proceeds of $36,899 at which time the convertible debenture including interest of $57 was converted into Class A common shares of Canopy Rivers. This included shares with a value of $668 that were issued in exchange for services. Share issue costs net of the related tax benefit were $1,709. Through these Class A common shares, the Company’s ownership interest in Canopy Rivers was 34.1%, and represented 91.2% of the voting rights. The voting rights allow the Company to direct the relevant activities of Canopy Rivers such that the Company has control over Canopy Rivers and Canopy Rivers is consolidated in these financial statements. The difference between the consideration paid by investors to acquire the non-controlling interests and the net assets acquired of $1,065 has been recorded as a decrease to equity attributable to the parent.

Under the share purchase loan, the Company’s recourse is limited to the shares purchased by the employees and the individual. Accordingly, it is accounted for as a grant of options to acquire 8.7% of Canopy Rivers at $0.05 per Class B common share. The shares treated as options will be considered exercised on the repayment of the loan. The shares purchased by employees and the consultant have been placed in trust and vest in 3 equal tranches over 3 years if the employees remain as employees of the Company and the individual remains as a consultant and the loan is repaid. In certain cases, there are also additional performance targets. The shares were measured at fair value on May 12, 2017 using a Black-Scholes model and will be expensed over their vesting period. Shares issued to non-employees will be remeasured until their performance is complete. Where there are performance conditions in addition to service requirements, the Company has estimated the number of shares it expects to vest and is amortizing the expense over the expected vesting period. For the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded $3,090 in share-based compensation expense related to this arrangement with a corresponding increase to non-controlling interests.

During fiscal 2018 Canopy Rivers granted 3,475,000 options to purchase Class B common shares to employees of the Company and 2,440,000 options to purchase Class B common shares to consultants of the Company. The options have an exercise price of $0.60 per Class B common shares and are exercisable in increments, with one third being exercisable on each of the first, second and third anniversaries from the date of grant. The expiry date of the options ranges from December 4, 2022 to March 26, 2023. The options were measured at fair value at the date of issuance using a Black-Scholes model and will be expensed over their vesting period. Shares issued to non-employees will be remeasured until their performance is complete. For the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded $489 in share-based compensation expense related to this arrangement with a corresponding increase to non-controlling interests.

FORMATION OF CANOPY RIVERS (CONTINUED)

On January 8, 2018 Canopy Rivers completed a non-brokered private placement of 23,636,365 Class B common shares for aggregate proceeds of $26,000 including $5,141 invested by Canopy Growth. Canopy Rivers incurred and paid $738 in issuance costs related to this offering net of the associated tax benefit. Following this round Canopy Growth’s interest and voting rights were reduced to 31.5% and 89.1%, respectively. An amount of $1,047 has been recorded as an increase in the equity attributable to the parent which represents the change in the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest as a result of the difference between the consideration paid and the net assets acquired and the dilution of Canopy’s ownership interest.

JOINT OPERATION

On October 10, 2017, the Company entered into a definitive joint venture agreement with a large-scale greenhouse operator (the “Partner”) to form a new company, BC Tweed Joint Venture Inc. (“BC Tweed”). BC Tweed is 66.67% owned by the Company and 33.33% owned by the Partner. Since the decisions over relevant activities are jointly determined the Company has concluded that the Company and the Partner have joint control over BC Tweed. As part of the transaction, BC Tweed agreed to lease from the Partner a 1.3 million square feet greenhouse facility located on a 55-acre parcel of land in British Columbia (“BC lease 1”). In December 2017, BC Tweed agreed to lease and develop a second greenhouse of 1.7 million square feet (“BC lease 2”) from the Partner. BC Tweed intends to retrofit the facilities for cannabis production and obtain the necessary sales and cultivation licenses under ACMPR.

The Partner has the option to sell its interest in BC Tweed, in whole or in part, to the Company. This put option is exercisable only on specific dates following the license date – the 4th anniversary of the sales license date, then at the 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th anniversaries. The put option is accounted for as a liability of the Company (“BC Tweed Put Liability”) and is recorded on the Statements of Financial Position in Other long-term liabilities and is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in net income in the period in which they arise. On acquisition date the fair value of the BC Tweed Put Liability was estimated to be $36,400 using a discounted cash flow approach by estimating the expected future cash flows and applying a discount rate to arrive at the present value of the put option’s strike price. On March 31, 2018 the BC Tweed Put Liability was estimated to be $56,300 and the increase of $19,900 was recorded in the Statement of Operations (Note 21). For further information on valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value refer to Note 28.

The greenhouse operation transferred by the Partner meets the definition of a business and will be accounted for as a business combination. The BC Tweed Put Liability represents the consideration paid by Canopy for acquiring its interest in this greenhouse operation and the Company will recognize a liability equal to the present value of the BC Tweed put option strike price. Since the operation had no identifiable assets or liabilities the offset is to goodwill. Given the limited time between the acquisition and the end of the third quarter the accounting for the acquisition of BC Tweed was only provisionally determined as of December 31, 2018. The Company has now completed its final assessment of the accounting for this acquisition.  

To fund the development of BC Tweed, the Company will contribute, in multiple tranches, an aggregate of $20,000 in cash, of which approximately $1,000 was advanced at closing in exchange for Class A preferred shares with cumulative preferred dividends with a dividend rate of 24%. To the extent that BC Tweed requires funding beyond the initial $20,000 in cash, the Company has committed to provide additional funding in the form of preferred shares with prime rate plus 3% cumulative preferred dividends that will rank in seniority to the Class A preferred shares. The Company is obligated to purchase from BC Tweed 100% of the cannabis produced for a fixed price per gram for the first two years of the agreement and thereafter at a price that is computed with reference to the market price and has also guaranteed a minimum level of income for BC Tweed under this agreement. At March 31, 2018, the Company has advanced $79,879 to BC Tweed for preferred shares.

The Company will upon various milestones being achieved issue 310,316 common shares over two tranches and a further $2,750 of common shares of the Company in two additional tranches to the Partner. These payments will be accounted for as share-based compensation expense. The grant date fair value of the share-based compensation was $6,731. The Company is amortizing the expense over the estimated vesting period. In the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded $5,001 in share-based compensation related to these shares.

JOINT OPERATION (CONTINUED)

As part of the transaction, BC Tweed entered into call/put option agreements with the Partner to acquire all of the limited partnership units of the limited partnerships which hold the greenhouses and related property. BC Tweed has the right to exercise the call options for a term of seven years from the respective license dates of the facilities. The put option can only be exercised if BC Tweed exercises the call option (and gives the Partner the ability to receive the option price in Class B preferred shares of BC Tweed as opposed to cash). The purchase price for acquiring the limited partnership units of the entity which owns the BC lease 1 property is $28,000 less any and all liabilities of the limited partnership (this price will increase by 3% per year from the license date with further increases of 8% per year starting after the fifth anniversary from the license date until the end of the call/put option period, as applicable). The purchase price for acquiring the limited partnership units of the entity which owns the BC lease 2 property is $45,000 less any and all liabilities of the limited partnership (this price will increase by 3% per year from the license date with further increases of 8% per year starting after the fifth anniversary from the license date until the end of the call/put option period, as applicable). Since these options represent options to acquire the limited partnership units, the options will be accounted for as derivative financial instruments which will be recognized initially and subsequently at fair value through profit or loss. At inception and March 31, 2018, the fair value of these options is $nil as the exercise price of the option approximates the fair value of the limited partnership units.

BC Tweed also entered into a management services agreement with the Partner.

Excluding the increase in the put liability and the partner expense paid to the Partner for the year ended March 31, 2018 BC Tweed contributed a loss of $19,907.

Acquisition related costs of $641 were recognized as an expense in the year ended March 31, 2018.

Investments In ASSOCIATES (CONTINUED)

 

(i)

TerrAscend Corp. (“TerrAscend”) is a publicly traded licensed producer under ACMPR. On December 8, 2017, the Company subscribed for 9,545,456 units of TerrAscend directly, and 9,545,456 units indirectly through its subsidiary Canopy Rivers, for $1.10 per unit. Each unit included one common share of TerrAscend and one common share purchase warrant. The warrants are exercisable until December 8, 2020 at $1.10 per common share. The Company has allocated the purchase price to the shares and warrants based on their relative fair values, in the amount of $13,460 and $7,540 respectively. On November 27, 2017, the Company acquired an additional 1,740,000 common shares of TerrAscend directly and 1,740,000 shares indirectly through its subsidiary Canopy Rivers under a block trade at a price of $1.00 per share.

Following these transactions, the Company directly and indirectly owns 24% of the issued and outstanding shares of TerrAscend and the Company has concluded it has significant influence over TerrAscend and will account for its investment in these common shares using the equity method. Costs of $38 have been capitalized to the cost of the investment.

The warrants represent a derivative financial instrument that is initially measured at fair value in other financial assets and subsequently remeasured to its fair value at the end of each reporting period with changes in fair value through profit or loss.

TerrAscend has agreed to sell the Company approximately 25% of its current production for a term of 2 years upon receiving its license to sell cannabis, renewal annually for an additional one-year term.

 

(ii)

Radicle Medical Marijuana Inc. (“Radicle”) is an ACMPR applicant. Canopy Rivers has entered into funding arrangements with Radicle and its affiliates whereby they have committed to invest $5,000 in the form of a convertible debenture and $5,000 in a repayable debenture and has also entered into a royalty agreement with Radicle. The debentures bear interest at 5%, payable quarterly in cash, and are due at the earlier of 24 months or the date Radicle receives a sales license and are secured against all of its assets. Assuming Radicle receives a sales license before maturity, the convertible debenture automatically converts into common shares and the repayable debenture will convert into the royalty interest. Under the royalty agreement, Canopy Rivers will receive a royalty for a term of 20 years. To date $5,000 has been advanced under the convertible debenture and $3,000 has been advanced under the repayable debenture.

The convertible debenture is convertible into 23.8% of the common shares and this interest, together with other rights provided under the agreements, give Canopy Rivers significant influence over the investee and Canopy Rivers is accounting for the investment using the equity method.

The repayable debenture and royalty agreement is being accounted for as one instrument and is classified as loans and receivables and being measured at amortized cost.

Canopy Growth also entered into an agreement with Radicle whereby they have committed to sell a specified portion of their output to Canopy Growth.

 

(iii)

Canopy Health Innovations (“CHI”) was formed in December 2016 to act as a cannabis research incubator. On December 21, 2016, CHI closed an initial round of financing for gross proceeds of approximately $7,000. Following this investment, the Company had a 46.15% ownership interest in CHI, however had a $nil balance at March 31, 2017. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, CHI closed a second round of financing for $8,842 which included $4,000 invested by the Company. The Company’s ownership interest is currently 43.0%.

 

(iv)

Bedrocan Brasil S.A. (“Bedrocan Brasil”) was formed in September 2016 to facilitate the importation of Bedrocan International's proprietary standardized cannabis varieties and the Company’s know-how into the Brazilian market. At the same time, the Company partnered with Entourage Phytolab S.A. (“Entourage”) to develop cannabis-based pharmaceutical medical products for the Brazilian and international markets. The Company currently holds a 39.762% interest in Bedrocan Brasil and 39.990% interest in Entourage, however has a $nil balance at March 31, 2018.

1 Changes in fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”)

 

 

(i)

AusCann Group Holdings Ltd. (“AusCann”), operates in Australia's medical cannabis industry and is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. The Company holds 29,865,000 ordinary shares of AusCann, which represents 11% of the issued and outstanding shares at March 31, 2018, and 7,677,639 options. Of the currently held shares, 27,465,000 have been placed in escrow until February 3, 2019. The options are exercisable at AUD$ 0.20 and expire on January 19, 2020. Any shares received on exercise of the options will also be held in escrow until February 3, 2019.

 

For the year ended March 31, 2017, a gain of $15,900 (net of $2,428 in taxes) was recorded relating to the AusCann shares in fair value changes on available for sale financial assets and a gain of $5,702 was recorded on the AusCann options in other income (expense).

 

(ii)

James E. Wagner Cultivation Ltd. (“JWC”) is an ACMPR applicant. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, Canopy Rivers acquired 37,000 common shares and 5,000 warrants for $3,975, advanced $2,500 under a repayable debenture and also entered into a royalty agreement with JWC. The repayable debenture bears interest at 8%, payable quarterly in cash, and is due at the earlier of 18 months or the date the applicant receives a sales license and is secured by the assets of the applicant. As JWC received a sales license before maturity, the principal amount drawn under the repayable debenture automatically converted into a royalty interest. Under the terms of the royalty agreement, the Company will receive a royalty per gram of applicable JWC cannabis production for a term of 20 years.

The repayable debenture and royalty agreement is being accounted for as one instrument and is classified as loans and receivables and being measured at amortized cost. The carrying value approximates its fair value.

The common shares represent an 14.7% ownership interest in JWC. JWC is a private company and prior to March 31, 2018, the fair value of the Company’s equity interest could not be reliably measured and the common shares and warrants were carried at their cost of $3,863 and $112, respectively. Subsequent to year end, JWC completed a financing that provided a measure of the fair value of the common shares and warrants and the shares and warrants were adjusted to their fair value of $10,591 and $814, respectively. The difference between their carrying amount of the shares and this fair value was recorded in other comprehensive income and the difference between the carrying amount of the warrants and this fair value for the warrants.

Canopy Growth also entered into agreements with JWC whereby they have committed to sell a specified portion of their output to Canopy Growth.

(b) Omnibus plan

On September 15, 2017, shareholders approved an Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”) pursuant to which it is able to issue share-based long-term incentives. All directors, officers, employees and independent contractors of the Company are eligible to receive awards of common share purchase options (“Options”) restricted share units (“RSUs”), deferred share units (“DSUs”), stock appreciation rights (“Stock Appreciation Rights”), restricted stock (“Restricted Stock”), performance awards (“Performance Awards”) or other stock based awards (collectively, the “Awards”), under the Omnibus Plan. In addition, shareholders also approved the 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan of the Company (the “Purchase Plan”).

Under the Purchase Plan, the aggregate number of common shares that may be issued is 400,000, and the maximum number of common shares which may be issued in any one fiscal year shall not exceed 200,000.

Under the Omnibus Plan, the maximum number of shares issuable from treasury pursuant to Awards shall not exceed 10% of the total outstanding shares from time to time less the number of shares issuable pursuant to all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company (being the existing employee stock option plan ("ESOP") and the Purchase Plan). The maximum number of common shares reserved for Awards is 19,955,721 at March 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2018, the only Awards issued have been options under the ESOP, and no shares have been issued under the Purchase Plan as it has not yet been implemented.

The ESOP is administered by the Board of Directors of the Company who establishes exercise prices, at not less than the market price at the date of grant, and expiry dates. Options under the Plan generally remain exercisable in increments with 1/3 being exercisable on each of the first, second and third anniversaries from the date of grant, and has expiry dates set at six years from issuance. The Board of Directors has the discretion to amend general vesting provisions and the term of any award, subject to limits contained in the Plan.

Share capital (CONTINUED)

 

In determining the amount of share-based compensation related to options issued during the year, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to establish the fair value of options granted during the year ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 on their measurement date by applying the following assumptions:

Volatility was estimated by using the historical volatility of the Company and other companies that the Company considers comparable that have trading and volatility history prior to the Company becoming public. Beginning the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2017, the Company began using its own historical volatility. The expected life in years represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate was based on the zero coupon Canada government bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.

 

The Company recorded $3,579 (March 31, 2017 – $nil) in share-based compensation expense related to the issuance of shares and options in Canopy Rivers to employees and consultants (refer to Note 12).

During fiscal 2018, 3,912,946 ESOP options were exercised ranging in price from $0.43 to $11.71 for gross proceeds of $11,053.

Share capital (CONTINUED)

 

(i)

The obligation for share-based compensation owing to former shareholders of Apollo Applied Research Inc., and Apollo CRO Inc. (together “Apollo”) and 2344823 Ontario Inc., operating as Bodystream (“Bodystream”) was assumed by the Company in fiscal 2017 on the acquisition of Mettrum Health Corp. and its subsidiaries (“Mettrum”). The maximum number of Company shares that would be issued with respect to the Apollo and Bodystream agreements is 1,111,702 and 1,073,595 shares, respectively. The Company has estimated the number of shares it expects to vest and is amortizing the expense over the expected vesting period based on the fair value of the shares on the acquisition date.

 

(ii)

The share-based compensation expense is related to a bonus that will be paid to a former shareholder of Spektrum Cannabis GmbH within two years of the acquisition date if certain performance targets are met and the shareholder remains as an employee.

(d) Other share based payments

The Company also recorded a gain of $14 for the year ended March 31, 2018 (expense for the year ended March 31, 2017 - $396) in share-based compensation expense for escrowed shares issued on the acquisition of MedCann Access that were related to employment. These shares were measured at fair value at the date of grant and expensed over their vesting period.

In addition, the Company recorded share based payments of $1,151 (for the year ended March 31, 2017 - $1,307) related to shares provided in exchange for sales and marketing services. The Company has determined that the sales and marketing services received are best measured by reference to the fair value of the equity granted as the services are rendered. This expense is recorded in sales and marketing expenses.

On October 20, 2017, the Company agreed to issue 79,717 common shares in payment of royalties. The Company will record the expense over the subsequent year. The Company recorded an expense of $920 in cost of sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 related to this arrangement (March 31, 2017 – $nil).

Earnings per share

Net income per common share represents the net income attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net income per common share is calculated by dividing the applicable net income by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued during the period. As at March 31, 2018 and 2017, all instruments were anti-dilutive.

Financial instruments

(a) Market risk

Market risk is defined as the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument held by the Company will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk includes the risk of changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates and changes in market prices due to other factors including changes in equity prices.

 

(i)

Currency risk

As at March 31, 2018, less than 2% of the Company’s financial assets (as at March 31, 2017 – 1%) and less than 3% of the Company’s financial liabilities (as at March 31, 2017 – 1%) for which cash flows are denominated in a foreign currency. The Company has very limited currency risk. No other financial assets and liabilities are denominated in a foreign currency.

Financial instruments (CONTINUED)

 

(ii)

Interest rate risk

The Company may invest surplus cash in highly liquid investments with short terms to maturity that would accumulate interest at prevailing rates for such investments. Currently the Company’s short-term investments and restricted investments consist of $65,395 in guaranteed investment certificates which have fixed rates of interest.

Interest rate risk on the long-term debt and capital lease obligations is limited due to the fact that they are both fixed rate of interest instruments.

The Company is exposed to the risk that changes in interest rate will impact the fair value of financial instruments whose cash flows are fixed in nature.

 

(iii)

Other market risk

The Company holds financial assets in the form of shares, warrants and options that are measured at FVTPL and FVOCI. The Company is exposed to equity price risk on these financial assets.  

 

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s trade

accounts receivable. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties.

The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk, but has limited risk due to the fact that the majority of sales are transacted with credit cards. Trade accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $78.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, short-term restricted investments and amounts receivable represents the maximum exposure to credit risk and at March 31, 2018, this amounted to $344,659 (2017 - $108,165). Since the inception of the Company, no losses have been suffered in relation to cash held by the bank.

As at March 31, 2018, the Company’s aging of receivables was approximately as follows:

The Company’s accounts receivable are primarily driven by sales to government agencies and credit card processors and timing of bill payments. At March 31, 2018, the receivables from government agencies and credit card processor and bill payment receivables accounted for 19% and 42%, respectively, of trade accounts receivable (2017 - 55% and 30%, respectively).

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by reviewing on an ongoing basis its capital requirements. During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company completed several equity financings for gross cash proceeds of $470,670.

Financial instruments (CONTINUED)

During the year, there were no transfers of amounts between levels.                

 

(e) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value but fair value disclosures are required

 

The carrying values of cash, short-term investments, and restricted investments and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term to maturity. The fair value of the JWC repayable debenture, Agripharm royalty interest, Radicle repayable debenture, and mortgage payables approximate their fair value.

Segmented information

The Company operates in one segment, the production and sale of medical cannabis.

All property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are located in Canada, except for $6,242 which is located outside of Canada.

30.

Capital management

The Company’s objective is to maintain sufficient capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and customer confidence and to sustain future development of the business and provide the ability to continue as a going concern. Management defines capital as the Company’s shareholders’ equity and debt. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management; but rather promotes year over year sustainable profitable growth. The Company currently has not paid any dividends to its shareholders.

As at March 31, 2018 total managed capital was comprised of shareholders’ equity and debt of $1,251,660 (March 31, 2017 - $650,056).

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.

The Company is subject to externally imposed restrictions related to covenants on its mortgage payable (refer to Note 18).

Subsequent events (continued)

(i) Convertible debt financing

In June 2018, the Company issued $600,000 convertible senior notes, including the over-allotment option of $100,000. The notes are general unsecured, senior obligations of Canopy Growth and interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears at a rate of 4.25% annually. The initial conversion rate for the notes will be 20.7577 common shares of the Company per $1 principal amount of notes, subject to potential adjustments. The initial conversion rate is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $48.18 per Company common share. The notes will mature on July 15, 2023, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms prior to such date.

Prior to January 15, 2023, the notes will be convertible at the option of holders only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods, and thereafter, at any time until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, the notes may be settled in cash, common shares of Canopy Growth or a combination of cash and common shares of Canopy Growth, at the election of Canopy Growth.

Canopy Growth may not redeem the notes prior to July 20, 2021, except in the event of certain changes in Canadian tax law. Canopy Growth may redeem for cash all or any portion of the notes, at its option, on or after July 20, 2021 if the last reported sale price of Canopy Growth’s common shares for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Canopy Growth provides notice of redemption has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect on each such trading day. Redemptions of notes in either case shall be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If Canopy Growth undergoes a fundamental change, holders of the notes will have the right to require Canopy Growth to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. Canopy Growth will also be required, in certain circumstances, to increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its notes in connection with certain corporate events or during the related redemption period.
