2.Basis of preparation

(a)Statement of compliance

 

The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended May 31, 2018, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and Interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee.

 

(b)Basis of measurement

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value and biological assets that are measured at fair value less costs to sell, as detailed in the Company’s accounting policies.

 

(c)Foreign currency

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

 

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

 

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

(1)The Company defines ownership interest as the interest in which the Company is entitled a proportionate share of net income. Legal ownership of some subsidiaries may differ from ownership interest shown above.
(2)Represents inactive subsidiaries, which have no operations and do not own any assets, save and except for related party balances owing to the Company.

 

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

 

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

(e)Amalgamations

 

Effective June 1, 2017, CannWay Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (“CannWay”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was amalgamated with Pure Natures Wellness Inc. (o/a Aphria). The Company has historically presented all balances and activities of CannWay as a fully consolidated entity for financial statement presentation purposes. As of the date of amalgamation, CannWay did not have any assets or outstanding liabilities. There are no material changes to be considered prospectively or to the comparative consolidated statements as a result of the amalgamation.

Effective July 23, 2018, Pure Natures Wellness Inc. (o/a Aphria). (“PNW”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was amalgamated with Aphria Inc. The Company had historically presented all balances and activities of PNW as a fully consolidated entity for financial statement presentation purposes. There were no material changes to be considered prospectively or to the comparative consolidated statements as a result of the amalgamation.

Effective February 1, 2019, 2589671 Ontario Inc. and 2589674 Ontario Inc., each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, were amalgamated with Avalon Pharmaceuticals Inc. The Company has historically presented all balances and activities of 2589671 Ontario Inc., 2589674 Ontario Inc. and Avalon Pharmaceuticals Inc. as a fully consolidated entity for financial statement presentation purposes. There were no material changes to be considered prospectively or to the comparative consolidated statements as a result of the amalgamation.

 

(f)Interest in equity investees

 

The Company’s interest in equity investees is comprised of its interest in Althea Company Pty Ltd. (“Althea”).

 

In accordance with IFRS 10, associates are those in which the Company has significant influence, but not control or joint control over the financial and accounting policies.

 

Interests in associates are accounted for using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28. They are recognized initially at cost, which includes transaction costs. After initial recognition, the condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income (“OCI”) of equity investees until the date on which significant influence ceases.

 

If the Company’s share of losses in an equity investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.

 

Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in these entities. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

 

The carrying amount of equity investments is tested for impairment in accordance with the policy described in the annual audited financial statements.

 

3.Significant accounting policies

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies used in the preparation of the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended May 31, 2018.

 

New standards applicable during the reporting period

 

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments; Classification and Measurement, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted, introduces new requirements for the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial instruments and introduces a new impairment model for financial assets.

 

 C:

Aphria Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months and nine months ended February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018

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

 

 

Under IFRS 9, financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Subsequently, all assets within scope of IFRS 9 are measured at:

(i)Amortized cost;
(ii)Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”); or
(iii)Fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”).

 

The classification is based on whether the contractual cash flows give rise to payments on specified dates that are solely payments of principal and interest (the “SPPI test”), and the objective of the Company’s business model is to hold assets only to collect cash flows, or to collect cash flows and to sell (the “Business Model test”). Financial assets are required to be reclassified only when the business model under which they are managed has changed. All reclassifications are to be applied prospectively from the reclassification date.

The impairment requirements under IFRS 9 are based on an expected credit loss (“ECL”) model, replacing the IAS 39 incurred loss model. The expected credit loss model applies to debt instruments recorded at amortized cost or at FVOCI, such as loans, debt, securities and trade receivables, lease receivables and most loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts.

The following table summarizes the original measurement categories under IAS 39 and the new measurement categories under IFRS 9 for each class of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities:

Financial assets/liabilities IAS 39 Classification IFRS 9 Classification
Cash and cash equivalents FVTPL FVTPL
Marketable securities FVTPL FVTPL
Accounts receivable loans and receivables amortized cost
Other receivables loans and receivables amortized cost
Convertible notes receivable AFS FVTPL
Long-term investments FVTPL FVTPL
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities other financial liabilities other financial liabilities
Income taxes payable other financial liabilities other financial liabilities
Promissory note payable other financial liabilities other financial liabilities
Long-term debt other financial liabilities other financial liabilities
Derivative liability derivative financial instruments FVTPL

There were no other changes on adoption aside from the above classification changes.

 

IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers; effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, specifies how and when to recognize revenue, based on five-step model, and enhances relevant disclosures to be applied to all contracts with customers.

The Company has applied IFRS 15 retrospectively and determined that there is no change to the comparative periods or transitional adjustments required as a result of the adoption of this standard. The Company’s accounting policy for revenue recognition under IFRS 15 is as follows:

To recognize revenue under IFRS 15, the Company applies the following five steps:

1.Identify the contract(s) with a customer
2.Identify the performance obligations in the contract
3.Determine the transaction price
4.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
5.Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation

 

Revenue from the direct sale of goods to customers for a fixed price is recognized when the company transfers control of the good to the customer.

New standards and interpretations issued but not yet adopted

IFRS 16 - Leases; in January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, which specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognise, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with IFRS 16’s approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17. IFRS 16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, and a lessee shall either apply IFRS 16 with full retrospective effect or alternatively not restate comparative information but recognise the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 as an adjustment to opening equity at the date of initial application. Early adoption is permitted if IFRS 15 has also been adopted. Based on its current assets, interests and investments, no significant impact is anticipated from the new standard.

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the Company in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

The Company has reclassified certain immaterial items on the comparative consolidated statements of financial position, consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, and consolidated statements of cash flows to improve clarity.

During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019, the Company recorded $10,175 and $24,447 (2018 - $2,355 and $6,447) related to production costs. Included in production costs for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019 is $238 and $1,432 of cannabis oil conversion costs (2018 - $62 and $157), $22 and $135 related to the cost of accessories (2018 - $71 and $169) and $788 and $2,321 (2018 - $473 and $1,362) of amortization. The Company also included $1,016 and $2,452 of amortization in inventory for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019 (2018 - $237 and $237) related to capital assets utilized in production. During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019, the Company expensed $5,542 and $18,075 (2018 - $3,443 and $7,250) of fair value adjustments on the sale of its biological assets included in inventory.

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2018, the Company also disposed of 13,642 plants prior to harvest. Included in production costs is $979 of accumulated costs relating to these plants which were not harvested.

 

The Company holds 5,217.7 kilograms of harvested cannabis (May 31, 2018 - 3,221.3 kgs), 1,509.4 kilograms of harvested cannabis trim (May 31, 2018 - 702.0 kgs) and 23,456.3 litres of cannabis oils or 5,212.5 kilograms equivalent in various stages of production (May 31, 2018 - 7,724.7 litres or 1,716.6 kilograms equivalent), 836.5 litres of cannabis oils used in softgel capsules or 185.9 kilograms equivalent (May 31, 2018 - nil) at February 28, 2019.

 

7.Biological assets

Biological assets are comprised of:

          Amount
Balance at May 31, 2018        $  7,331
  Changes in fair value less costs to sell due to biological transformation                  23,136
  Production costs capitalized                    24,233
  Transferred to inventory upon harvest                   (47,439)
Balance at February 28, 2019        $  7,261

The Company values medical cannabis plants at fair value. Management determined that cost approximates fair value from the date of initial clipping from mother plants until the fourth week prior to harvest. Measurement of the biological transformation of the plant at fair value less costs to sell begins in the fourth week prior to harvest and is recognized evenly until the point of harvest. The number of weeks in the growing cycle is between twelve and sixteen weeks from propagation to harvest. The Company has determined the fair value less costs to sell of greenhouse harvested cannabis and trim to be $3.50 and $2.75 per gram respectively (May 31, 2018 - $3.75 and $3.00 per gram) and $4.00 and $3.25 per gram respectively (May 31, 2018 - $4.25 and $3.50 per gram), upon harvest for indoor produced cannabis and trim.

 

The effect of the fair value less cost to sell over and above historical cost was an increase in non-cash value of biological assets and inventory of $9,471 and $23,136 during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019 (2018 - increase of $4,101 and $11,481).

 

The fair value of biological assets is determined using a valuation model to estimate expected harvest yield per plant applied to the estimated price per gram less processing and selling costs. When there is a material change from the expected fair value used for cannabis, the Company will necessitate the fair value used in this calculation be adjusted. In the prior quarter, as a result of the newly enacted adult-use market along with the introduction of the excise duty tax, the Company determined a reduction of $0.25 per gram was warranted. The majority of the adult-use transactions are wholesale through provincial distribution agencies and as a result the net selling price and the selling costs are lower.

Aphria Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months and nine months ended February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018

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

 

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

The harvest yield is between 40 grams and 80 grams per plant;
The selling price is between $3.00 and $7.00 per gram;
Processing costs include drying and curing, testing, post-harvest overhead allocation, packaging and labelling costs between $0.30 and $0.80 per gram; and
Selling costs include shipping, order fulfilment, patient acquisition and patient maintenance costs between $0.00 and $1.50 per gram.

Sales price used in the valuation of biological assets is based on the historical average selling price of all cannabis products and can vary based on different strains being grown as well as the proportion of sales derived from wholesale compared to retail. The low-end of the selling price, processing costs and selling costs are derived from historical wholesale sales, while the higher end prices and costs are from historical retail sales. Selling costs vary depending on methods of selling and are considered based on the expected method of selling and the determined additional costs which would be incurred. Expected yields for the cannabis plant is also subject to a variety of factors, such as strains being grown, length of growing cycle, and space allocated for growing. Management reviews all significant inputs, at each reporting period, based on historical information obtained as well as based on planned production schedules.

 

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

Selling price per gram - a decrease in the average selling price per gram by 5% would result in the biological asset value decreasing by $255 (May 31, 2018 - $267) and inventory decreasing by $2,146 (May 31, 2018 - $1,040);
Harvest yield per plant - a decrease in the harvest yield per plant of 5% would result in the biological asset value decreasing by $135 (May 31, 2019 - $179).

 

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

 

8.Related party transactions

 

During the prior quarter, the Company disposed of its remaining shares in Liberty Health Sciences Inc. (“Liberty”) (note 13).

 

The Company previously funded a portion of the Canadian operating costs of Liberty, for which Liberty reimbursed the Company quarterly. Liberty was considered a related party because certain officers and directors of Aphria were directors of Liberty. During the quarter, those directors resigned from Liberty’s board and the Company ceased its relationship with Liberty.

 

The Company purchased certain electrical generation equipment from and pays rent to a company owned by a former director. Subsequent to quarter end, the director resigned his officer and director position with the Company.

 

During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019, related party corporations charged or incurred expenditures on behalf of the Company (including rent) totaling $20 and $158 (2018 - $112 and $205). Included in this amount was rent of $12 and $20 charged during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019 (2017 - $10 and $36).

Acquisition of LATAM Holdings Inc.

 

On July 17, 2018, the Company signed a share purchase agreement with Scythian Biosciences Corp. (“Scythian”) to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of LATAM Holdings Inc. (“LATAM Holdings”); a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Scythian. As outlined in the share purchase agreement, the negotiated purchase price was to be settled with the issuance of 15,678,310 shares of the Company valued on July 17, 2018 at $193,000 and the assumption of $1,000 USD ($1,310 CAD) short-term liabilities. The acquisition of LATAM Holdings closed on September 27, 2018. Therefore, in accordance with IFRS 3 - Business Combinations, the equity consideration transferred was measured at fair value at the acquisition date, which is the date control was obtained, which in this case was determined to be September 27, 2018. The fair value of the consideration shares on September 27, 2018 was $273,900.

 

LATAM Holdings, through other subsidiaries, provides the Company with access to the emerging cannabis markets in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Liberty Health Sciences Inc. (“LHS”)

In February 2018, the Company entered into a call/put obligation (“Obligation Agreement”) for the remaining shares held in Liberty, which were subject to CSE mandatory escrow requirements. As each new tranche of shares became freely trading, the Obligation Agreement resulted in the buyers acquiring the newly freely trading shares at an 18% discount to the market price of Liberty, based on Liberty’s 10-day volume weighted trading price.

The Obligation Agreement included an opt-out for Aphria’s benefit, in the event that the Toronto Stock Exchange amended their regulations such that it permitted investments by Canadian companies in U.S. based cannabis businesses, and in such instance, the Obligation Agreement would be automatically terminated. In exchange for the opt-out, the Company agreed to pay the buyers a $2,500 termination fee.

Based on the terms of the Obligation Agreement, the Company determined that the remaining shares held in Liberty met the requirements under IFRS 5 and were reclassified from interest in equity investees to assets held for sale. The Company ceased accounting for the investment as an equity investment as of November 30, 2017 and transferred the carrying value to assets held for sale.

In July 2018, 16,029,615 shares were released from escrow and sold as part of the Obligation Agreement. The Company received gross proceeds of $11,514 and recognized a gain on sale of equity investee of $9,880. As part of the transaction, the Company paid $480 in exchange for an option to buy back the shares at $1.00 a share, subject to certain downside risk protection which results in the purchaser sharing a portion of the difference between the share price on the day the option is exercised and the exercise price, provided the share price exceeds $1.25. The option to repurchase the shares is subject to the following conditions (collectively, the enumerated conditions (1) through (5), the “Conditions”):

(1)Cannabis becoming legalized federally in the United States; and

One or more of the following conditions have been satisfied:

(2)The TSX has provided its approval for the purchase of the U.S. cannabis assets;

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

(3)The TSX revises its rules such that it no longer has a prohibition against its listed companies having an interest in US assets which are involved in the cannabis business;
(4)The common shares of the Company are voluntarily or involuntarily delisted from the TSX; and/or
(5)The Company is acquired by another entity, provided that the common shares of the Company will be delisted from the TSX upon the change of control.

 

This option was initially included in long-term investments (Note 14).

During the prior quarter, the Company and the third party agreed to terminate the Obligation Agreement, in exchange for a $1,000 termination fee. The Company then entered into a share purchase agreement to divest of the remaining 64,118,462 Liberty shares in exchange for consideration in the form of a promissory note in the amount of $59,098, bearing interest at a rate of 12% due in 5 years (Note 15). As a security for the promissory note, the Liberty shares were placed in trust with an escrow agent. The purchaser was able to remove the Liberty shares from the escrow at any time by paying off the promissory note. In the event that the Company enforces the security, the escrow agent was to return the shares to the Company, provided that the Conditions are met. In the event they are not met, the escrow agent was to transfer the securities to a third-party investment bank for liquidation, with the proceeds of liquidation delivered to the Company. Simultaneously with this sale, the Company entered into an option agreement to repurchase the Liberty shares for the amount of the promissory note (Note 14). The Company agreed to pay an annual fee equal to 12.975% of the face value of the promissory note to maintain this option (Note 20). The option to repurchase the shares was subject to the Conditions described above. During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019, the Company reported a gain on sale of equity investee of $nil and $57,351.

 

On February 19, 2019, the Company and the third party agreed to liquidate the promissory note, security agreement and the option in exchange for a cash payment of $47,448 and a contingent payment up to $10,000, in the event the third party monetizes the assets held under the option within six (6) months of the transaction date.

During the three and six months ended November 30, 2017, the Company reported a total (loss) gain on dilution of ownership in equity investee of $(16) and $7,535. Prior to the Company no longer recording Liberty as an equity investee, Liberty reported a net loss of $23,493 and a net comprehensive loss of $27,001. In accordance with the equity method, the Company recorded a loss of $441 and $9,281 and other comprehensive gain (loss) of $520 and $(801).

31.Financial risk management and financial instruments

 

Financial instruments

 

The Company has classified its cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, long-term investments, and embedded derivatives as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), accounts receivable and other current assets as loans and receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, promissory notes payable, and long-term debt as other financial liabilities. The convertible notes receivable are accounted for on an amortized cost basis.

 

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

 

A portion of the Company’s long-term debt, totaling $29,526 is subject to fixed interest rates. The Company’s long-term debt is valued based on discounting the future cash outflows associated with the long-term debt. The discount rate is based on the incremental premium above market rates for Government of Canada securities of similar duration. In each period thereafter, the incremental premium is held constant while the Government of Canada security is based on the then current market value to derive the discount rate. The fair value of the Company’s portion of long-term debt subject to fixed interest rates as at February 28, 2019, was $28,546.

The Company’s objective in managing its foreign currency risk is to minimize its net exposure to foreign currency cash flows by transacting, to the greatest extent possible, with third parties in the functional currency. The Company is exposed to currency rate risk in other comprehensive income, relating to foreign subsidiaries which operate in a foreign currency. The Company does not currently use foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure of its foreign currency cash flows as management has determined that this risk is not significant at this point in time.

The Company is exposed to unrealized foreign exchange risk through its cash and cash equivalents. As at February 28, 2019, the majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents was in Canadian dollars, and therefore the Company did not have significant exposure to unrealized foreign exchange risk.

 

(d)Interest rate price risk

 

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

 

(e)Capital management

 

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

 

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

During the nine-month period, the Company was served statements of claims in class action lawsuits against the Company and certain of its officers and former officers. These claims relate to alleged misconduct in connection with the Company’s acquisitions of LATAM Holdings Inc. (“LATAM”) and Nuuvera Inc., and the Company’s June 2018 securities offering. At the present time, the Company is aware of five such claims, two of which were commenced in the United States and three of which were commenced in Canada. The U.S. claims include alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The Canadian claims include alleged statutory and common law misrepresentation and oppression. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in each of these actions. With respect to the cases commenced in the United States, the Company is self-insured for the costs associated with any award or damages arising from such actions and have entered into indemnity agreements with each of the directors and officers and, subject to certain exemptions, will cover any costs incurred by them in connection with any of the class action claims. With respect to the cases commenced in Canada, the Company’s insurance policies may not be sufficient to cover any judgments against the Company. As at February 28, 2019, the Company has not recorded any uninsured amount related to this contingency.
