3.

Adoption of new accounting pronouncements

 

(a)

IFRS 16, Leases

 

IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and replaces the previous guidance on leases, predominantly IAS 17, Leases. The Company has applied IFRS 16 with an initial application date of January 1, 2019, in accordance with the transitional provisions specified in IFRS 16. As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for lease contracts as detailed below. The Company has applied the following practical expedients:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

The Company applied the simplified transition approach and did not restate comparative information. As a result, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 as an adjustment to the accumulated deficit as at January 1, 2019.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

On transition to IFRS 16, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. The Company applied IFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17, and IFRIC 4, Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease, were not reassessed for whether they contain a lease. The Company applied the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In accordance with the practical expedients applied, the Company has recognized lease liabilities and right-of-use assets at the date of initial application for leases previously classified as operating leases in accordance with IAS 17. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The Company has elected to measure the right-of-use assets at the carrying amount as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date, discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. For the lease previously classified as a finance lease under IAS 17, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at the date of initial application is equal to the carrying amount of the leased asset and lease liability immediately before the date of initial application.

 

The following table summarizes the impacts of adopting IFRS 16 on the Company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at the date of initial application:

)

(i)

The adjustments are due to the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease obligations for lease contracts previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17 prior to the date of initial application. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities recognized at the date of initial application is 12%. There would be no difference between the discounted value of the operating lease commitments disclosed at December 31, 2018 and the adjustments above. Furthermore, there were no onerous lease contracts that would have required an adjustment to the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application.

Adoption of new accounting pronouncements (continued)

 

(a)

IFRS 16, Leases (continued)

 

The following is the Company's policy for accounting for lease contracts in accordance with IFRS 16:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of the lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use assets are adjusted for impairment losses, if any. The estimated useful lives and recoverable amounts of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

 

(b)

IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over income tax treatments

 

IFRIC 23 clarifies the application of recognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12, Income taxes, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. It specifically addresses whether an entity considers each tax treatment independently or collectively, the assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities, how an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, and how an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances. IFRIC 23 became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier application permitted. The Company has adopted this interpretation as of its effective date and has assessed no significant impact as a result of the adoption of this interpretation.

Biological assets and inventory (continued)

 

 

 

 

 

(a)

Biological assets (continued)

 

As at June 30, 2019, the Company has 81,874 plants classified as biological assets which are expected to ultimately yield 4,585 kg of dry cannabis (December 31, 2018 - 46,004 plants which were expected to ultimately yield 6,303 kg of dry cannabis).

 

The Company measures its biological assets at fair value less costs to sell. This valuation is based on the expected harvest yield (on a grams per plant basis) for plants currently being cultivated, adjusted for the expected net selling price less post-harvest costs attributable to bringing a harvested gram of cannabis to a saleable condition and ultimate sale (on a per gram basis). The Company accretes the fair value of each cannabis plant on a straight-line basis over the expected growing cycle. As at June 30, 2019, the plants were on average 7 weeks into the growing cycle, 47% complete, and were ascribed approximately 47% (December 31, 2018 - 6 weeks, 37%, and 37%, respectively) of their expected fair value at harvest date.

Biological assets and inventory (continued)

 

(c)

Direct and indirect cost allocations

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Costs incurred to transform biological assets up to the point of harvest ("production costs") are capitalized as they are incurred, which become the cost basis of the biological assets. These costs include direct costs such as nutrients, soil, and seeds, as well as other indirect costs such as utilities, an allocation of indirect labour, property taxes, and depreciation of equipment used in the growing process. The biological assets are then revalued to fair value less costs to sell immediately prior to harvest and at the end of each reporting period. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value less costs to sell, excluding capitalized production costs, are presented as unrealized changes in the fair value of biological assets. At the point of harvest, agricultural produce consisting of cannabis is considered inventory. The fair value less costs to sell becomes the cost base of inventory. Any subsequent post-harvest costs ("processing costs"), including direct costs attributable to processing and related overhead, are capitalized to inventory as they are incurred. Upon ultimate sale of inventory, the associated production and processing costs are presented as cost of sales before fair value adjustments; the remaining cost of inventory, associated with fair value less costs to sell prior to harvest, is presented as realized fair value adjustments on inventory sold in the period.

 

The direct and indirect costs related to biological assets and inventory are allocated as follows. The allocation basis was consistent for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, unless otherwise specified.

(d)

Significant inputs and sensitivity analyses

 

 

 

 

 

The Company has made the following estimates related to significant inputs in the valuation model:

 

Significant inputs

Definition

Net selling price per gram

Estimated net selling price per gram of dry cannabis based on historical sales of dry cannabis, excluding sales of cannabis oil, and anticipated prices, after adjustment for excise taxes

Harvest yield per plant

Expected grams of dry cannabis to be harvested from a cannabis plant, based on the weighted average historical yields by plant strain

Stage of growth

Weighted average plant age (in weeks) out of the 14 week (December 31, 2018 - 16 week) growing cycle as of the period end date

Processing costs per gram

Estimated post-harvest costs per gram to bring a gram of harvested cannabis to its saleable condition, including drying, curing, testing and packaging, and overhead allocation; estimated based on post-harvest costs incurred during the period divided by number of grams processed during the period

Selling costs per gram

Estimated shipping, order fulfillment, and labelling costs per gram; calculated as selling costs incurred during the period divided by number of grams sold during the period

Equivalency factor

Estimated grams of dry cannabis required to produce one millilitre of cannabis oil; estimated based on historical conversion results

Mass multipliers

Estimated multiples of crude extract and isolate mass in diluted cannabis oil products

 

 

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

 

 

The following table quantifies each of the significant unobservable inputs described above and provides a sensitivity analysis of the impact on the reported values of biological assets and inventory. The sensitivity analysis for each significant input is performed by assuming a 5% decrease in the input while other significant inputs remain constant at management's best estimate as of the period end date.

Equity accounted investees (continued)

 

 

(i)

Whistler was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada and is a License Holder with production facilities in British Columbia, Canada. Although the Company held less than 20% of the ownership interest and voting control of Whistler as at December 31, 2018, the Company had the ability to exercise significant influence through both its power to elect board members, and aggregately, with affiliated shareholders, the Company held over 20% of the voting control of Whistler.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On March 4, 2019, the Company sold all 2,563 shares of Whistler, representing approximately 19.0% of Whistler's issued and outstanding common shares, to Aurora Cannabis Inc. ("Aurora"), in connection with Aurora's acquisition of Whistler (the "Whistler Transaction"). As a result of the closing of the Whistler Transaction, the Company received 2,524,341 Aurora common shares with an aggregate value of approximately $24,682. The closing of the Whistler Transaction resulted in a gain of $20,606 recognized in net income, with the Aurora common shares received being measured at fair value through profit or loss. Refer to Note 6. In addition, the Company expects to receive further Aurora common shares valued at an aggregate of approximately $7,600 upon the satisfaction of certain specified milestones, which has not been recognized in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The exact number of Aurora common shares to be issued to the Company following the satisfaction of each such milestone will be determined in reference to the five-day volume weighted average price of Aurora common shares immediately prior to the achievement of the applicable milestone.

 

 

 

(ii)

MedMen Canada was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act ("CBCA") on March 13, 2018, with the objective of distribution, sale, and marketing of cannabis products in Canada. MedMen Canada holds the exclusive license to the MedMen brand in Canada for a minimum term of 20 years commencing from 2018.

 

(iii)

Cronos GrowCo was incorporated under the CBCA on June 14, 2018, with the objective of building a cannabis production greenhouse, applying for cannabis licenses under the Cannabis Act, and growing, cultivating, extracting, producing, selling, and distributing cannabis in accordance with such licenses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iv)

Cronos Australia Pty. Ltd. was incorporated under the Corporations Act 2001 (Australia) on December 6, 2016. On September 27, 2018, Cronos Australia Pty. Ltd. underwent a restructuring, resulting in the incorporation of Cronos Australia Limited on that date, which became the ultimate holding company of the group, owning 100% of Cronos Australia Group Pty. Ltd., which in turn owns 100% of Cronos Australia - Marketing & Distribution Pty. Ltd., Cronos Australia - Operations Pty. Ltd, and Cronos Australia – New Zealand Ltd. Cronos Group has committed to provide 50% of the capital expenditure and operating expense funding requirements, amounting to approximately $10,000. The timing of these funding obligations has not been determined as of June 30, 2019.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Advances are denominated in Australian dollars ("AUD"). $1,474 ($1,500 AUD) (December 31, 2018 - $990 ($1,000 AUD)) is governed by an unsecured loan bearing interest at a rate of 12% per annum, calculated and compounded daily, in arrears, on the amounts advanced from the date of each advance. The loan is due at the earlier of Cronos Australia's initial public offering date and December 1, 2020. If the loan is overdue, the outstanding amount bears interest at an additional 2% per annum.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(v)

The Company indirectly holds a 50% interest in NatuEra Colombia S.A.S. ("NatuEra Colombia") through the Company's joint venture, NatuEra. NatuEra Colombia is a wholly owned subsidiary of NatuEra, incorporated in Colombia. Advances are denominated in United States dollars ("USD"). $297 ($226 USD) (December 31, 2018 - $nil) is governed by an unsecured promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 1% per annum. The loan is due January 25, 2020.

(ii)

On March 16, 2017, Evergreen received a cultivation license under the Cannabis Act. As a result, the Company completed its subscription for a second tranche of common shares of Evergreen for $100 and exercised its option to acquire an additional 5% of the equity of Evergreen for $500, for a total additional investment of $600. However, Evergreen, through its counsel, has indicated that the Company is not entitled to any interest in Evergreen and has rejected the payment. The Company filed a statement of claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia and Evergreen has filed a statement of defence. The Company intends to vigorously pursue the enforcement of its rights to acquire equity in Evergreen.

 

(iii)

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company exercised 182,927 share warrants for aggregate consideration of $113, for additional shares of ABcann. Prior to the exercise, the share warrants were revalued to fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Subsequently, the Company sold all of its shares of ABcann for proceeds of $280.

(i)

On June 28, 2019, the Company entered into a promissory note receivable agreement (the "promissory note") for $16,350 with Mucci, the other 50% shareholder of Cronos GrowCo. The outstanding principal amount of the promissory note bears interest at 3.95% due within 90 days of demand. The Company does not intend to demand the loan within 12 months. Interest accrued under the promissory note until July 1, 2021 shall be satisfied by a way of capitalization on the principal amount and interest thereafter shall be paid in cash on a quarterly basis. The loan is secured by a general security agreement covering all assets of Mucci.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

The loan is due on demand. The loan accrued interest at 8% per year, up to March 31, 2017, calculated and payable annually in arrears. Refer to Note 6(ii) for details.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Company has revised its assessment of the loan receivable from Evergreen and now expects to realize its investment in the long term. The comparative balance has been adjusted to conform to current period classifications.

Subsidiaries with non-controlling interests

 

 

 

 

 

In September 2018, the Company subscribed for its equity interest in a strategic joint venture in Israel, consisting of four legal entities, with the Israeli agricultural collective settlement Kibbutz Gan Shmuel ("Gan Shmuel"), for the production, manufacturing and distribution of medical cannabis. The Company's equity interest subscription in all four of the Israeli entities comprising Cronos Israel, was accounted for as an asset acquisition as the Israeli entities did not meet the definition of a business at the respective dates Cronos Group acquired control. Gan Shmuel provided the Company a promissory note for monies advanced from the Company up to the sum of $978 (2,700 Israeli Shekels ("ILS")). During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company advanced a sum of $1,304 (3,600 ILS). As such, $326 (900 ILS) of the receivable was unsecured. From September 2018 and onwards, Cronos Israel has been included in these consolidated financial statements.

On August 23, 2017, Peace Naturals, as borrower, signed a construction loan agreement with Romspen Investment Corporation as lender, to borrow $40,000, to be funded by way of multiple advances. The aggregate advances were limited to $35,000 until the lender received an appraisal valuing the property in British Columbia at an amount of not less than $8,000. The loan bore interest at a rate of 12% per annum, calculated and compounded monthly, in arrears, on the amounts advanced from the date of each advance. The term of the loan was two years, with the borrower's option to extend for another twelve months. The loan was guaranteed by Cronos Group, Hortican, OGBC, the responsible-person-in-charge and the senior-person-in-charge of OGBC and Peace Naturals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On January 23, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as administrative agent and lender, and the Bank of Montreal, as lender, in respect of a $65,000 secured non-revolving term loan credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Company used the funds available under the Credit Facility to fully repay the construction loan payable, consisting of $21,311 in loan principal and $275 in accrued interest and fees, calculated for the period from January 1, 2019 to January 22, 2019. On March 8, 2019, the Credit Facility was fully repaid. In connection to the Credit Facility, the Company incurred financing costs of $523 which were expensed upon repayment of the Credit Facility.

Derivative liabilities

 

On March 8, 2019, the Company closed the previously announced investment in the Company (the "Altria Investment") by Altria Group, Inc. ("Altria"), pursuant to a subscription agreement dated December 7, 2018. Upon closing, the Altria Investment consisted of 149,831,154 common shares of the Company (refer to Note 14(a)), and one warrant of the Company (the "Altria Warrant"), refer to Note 13(a), issued to wholly owned subsidiaries of Altria. As of the closing date, Altria beneficially held an approximate 45% ownership interest in the Company (calculated on a non-diluted basis). As summarized in this note, if exercised in full on such date, the exercise of the Altria Warrant would result in Altria holding a total ownership interest in the Company of approximately 55% (calculated on a non-diluted basis). Pursuant to the investor rights agreement between the Company and Altria, entered into in connection with the closing of the Altria Investment (the "Agreement"), the Company granted Altria certain rights, among others, summarized in this note.

Derivative liabilities (continued)

 

The summaries below are qualified entirely by the terms and conditions fully set out in the Agreement and the Altria Warrant, as applicable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(a)

As at June 30, 2019, the Altria Warrant entitles the holder, subject to certain qualifications and limitations, to subscribe for and purchase up to 74,698,787 common shares at the exercise price of $19.00 per common share, until expiry on March 8, 2023. The number of common shares of the Company to which the holder is entitled, and the corresponding exercise price, is subject to adjustment pursuant to a share dividend, share issuance, distribution, or share subdivision, split or other division, share consolidation, reverse-split or other aggregation, share reclassification, a capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, binding share exchange, merger or other combination, certain securities issuances, redemptions or certain other actions that would result in a reduction in the number of common shares of the Company outstanding, in each case, executed by the Company. If and whenever there is a reclassification of the common shares or a capital reorganization of the Company, or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, binding share exchange or merger of the Company, in each case executed by the Company and pursuant to which (i) in the event the consideration received by the Company's shareholders is exclusively cash, the Company or the successor entity is required to purchase the Altria Warrant in cash equal to the amount by which the purchase price per share paid for the common shares acquired exceeds the exercise price of the Altria Warrant multiplied by the number of common shares that would be issuable upon exercise of the Altria Warrant, and (ii) in the event the consideration received by the Company's shareholders is not exclusively cash, the Altria Warrant shall remain outstanding in accordance with its terms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(b)

The Company granted to Altria, subject to certain qualifications and limitations, upon the occurrence of certain issuances of common shares of the Company executed by the Company (including issuances pursuant to the research and development partnership with Ginkgo Bioworks Inc. (the "Ginkgo Agreement"), refer to Note 19(a)(i)), the right to purchase up to such number of common shares of the Company in order to maintain its ownership percentage of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company immediately preceding any shares so issued by the Company ("Pre-emptive Rights"), at the same price per common share of the Company at which the common shares of the Company are sold in the relevant issuance; provided that the price per common share of the Company to be paid pursuant to its exercise of its Pre-emptive Rights related to the Ginkgo Agreement will be $16.25 per common share of the Company. These rights may not be exercised if Altria's ownership percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company falls below 20%.

 

(c)

In addition to (and without duplication of) the Pre-emptive Rights, the Company granted to Altria, subject to certain qualifications and limitations, the right to subscribe for common shares of the Company issuable in connection with the exercise, conversion or exchange of convertible securities of the Company issued prior to March 8, 2019 or thereafter, a share incentive plan of the Company, the exercise of any right granted by the Company pro rata to all shareholders of the Company to purchase additional common shares and/or securities of the Company, bona fide bank debt, equipment financing or non-equity interim financing transactions that contemplates an equity component or bona fide acquisitions, mergers or similar business combination transactions or joint ventures involving the Company in order to maintain their ownership percentage of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company immediately preceding any such transactions ("Top-up Rights"). The price per common share to be paid by Altria pursuant to the exercise of its Top-up Rights will be, subject to certain limited exceptions, the 10-day volume-weighted average price of the common shares of the Company on the TSX at the time of exercise; provided that the per price per common share of the Company to be paid by Altria pursuant to the exercise of its Top-up Rights in connection with the issuance of common shares of the Company pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants that are outstanding as of March 8, 2019 will be $16.25 per common share. These rights may not be exercised if Altria's ownership percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company falls below 20%.

Derivative liabilities (continued)

 

The Company's policy for accounting for its derivative liabilities is as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Derivative liabilities are initially recognized at fair value at the date on which the derivative contract is entered into. Any attributable transaction costs are recognized in net income (loss) as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative liabilities are measured at fair value, and changes are recognized immediately in net income (loss).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Altria Warrant, Pre-emptive Rights, and the fixed price Top-up Rights have been classified as derivative liabilities; related transaction costs of $29,660 have been expensed as financing costs. A reconciliation of the carrying amounts from the date of initial recognition, March 8, 2019, to June 30, 2019 is presented below:

13.

Derivative liabilities (continued)

 

(i)

The risk-free interest rate was based on Bank of Canada government treasury bills and bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the derivative liabilities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

The expected life in years represents the period of time that the derivative liabilities are expected to be outstanding. The expected life of the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights is determined based on the expected term of the underlying options, warrants, and shares, to which the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights are linked.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iii)

Volatility was estimated by taking the average of the historical volatility of the Company and its peer group.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following table quantifies each of the significant unobservable inputs described above and provides a sensitivity analysis of the impact on the reported values of the derivative liabilities. The sensitivity analysis for each significant input is performed by assuming a 10% decrease in the input while other significant inputs remain constant at management's best estimate as of the respective dates.

Assuming a 10% increase in the input while other significant inputs remain constant at management's best estimate as of the respective dates, there would be an equal but opposite impact on impact on net income (loss) as at June 30, 2019 and impact on share capital as at March 8, 2019, refer to Note 14(a).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These inputs are level 3 on the fair value hierarchy, and are subject to volatility and several uncontrollable factors, which could significantly affect the fair value of these derivative liabilities in future periods.

(a)

Common shares

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value common shares.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The holders of the common shares are entitled to receive dividends which may be declared from time to time, and are entitled to one vote per share at shareholder meetings of the Company. All common shares are ranked equally with regards to the Company's residual assets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company issued 149,831,154 common shares in connection with the Altria Investment. The total gross proceeds received by the Company were $2,434,757, which were first allocated to the derivative liabilities issued in connection with the Altria Investment, refer to Note 13, and the residual of $334,099 were allocated to share capital. Pursuant to the Altria Investment, the Company incurred transaction costs of $34,662, of which $5,002 was allocated to share capital and $29,660 to the derivative liabilities based on the relative values assigned to the respective components. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company issued 50,938 common shares upon Altria's exercise of Top-up Rights for gross cash proceeds of $828, in addition to the $738 partial extinguishment of derivative liability.

Stock options

 

(i)

Stock option plans

 

The Company had adopted an amended and restated stock option plan dated May 26, 2015 (the "2015 Stock Option Plan") which was approved by shareholders of the Company at the annual and general meeting of shareholders held on June 28, 2017. The 2015 Stock Option Plan allowed the Board to award options to purchase shares to certain directors, officers, key employees and service providers of the Company. The 2015 Stock Option Plan was amended by the Board in August 2019 to provide for certain provisions relevant to the treatment of options that have been issued to participants resident in Israel, in order to reflect the requirements of certain Israeli tax laws. No further awards will be granted under the 2015 Stock Option Plan; however, shares may be purchased via option exercise by the holders of any outstanding stock options previously issued under the 2015 Stock Option Plan.

 

On June 28, 2018, the shareholders of the Company approved a new stock option plan (the "2018 Stock Option Plan") which superseded the 2015 Stock Option Plan. The 2018 Stock Option Plan was amended by the Board in May 2019 to provide for certain provisions relevant to the treatment of options that may be issued from time to time to participants resident in Israel, in order to reflect the requirements of certain Israeli tax laws.

 

Participants under the 2018 Option Plan are eligible to be granted options to purchase shares at an exercise price established upon approval of the grant by the Board. When options are granted, the exercise price is, with respect to a particular date, the closing price as reported by the TSX on the immediately preceding trading day (the "Fair Market Value"). The 2018 Option Plan does not authorize grants of options with an exercise price below the Fair Market Value.

 

Vesting conditions for grants of options are determined by the Board. The typical vesting for employee grants is quarterly vesting over four to five years, and the typical vesting for directors and executive officers is quarterly vesting over three to five years. The term of the options is established by the Board, provided that the term of an option may not exceed seven years from the date of the grant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 2018 Option Plan also provides for the issuance of share appreciation rights ("SARs") in tandem with options. Each SAR entitles the holder to surrender to the Company, unexercised, the right to subscribe for shares pursuant to the related option and to receive from the Company a number of shares, rounded down to the next whole share, with a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of each such SAR that is equal to the difference between such Fair Market Value and the exercise price under the related option, multiplied by the number of shares that cease to be available under the option as a result of the exercise of the SAR, subject to satisfaction of applicable withholding taxes and other source deductions. Each unexercised SAR terminates when the related option is exercised or the option terminates, including upon a change in control. Upon each exercise of an SAR, in respect of a share covered by an option, such option is cancelled and is of no further force or effect in respect of such share.

(collectively, the "Plaintiffs") commenced a claim against Peace Naturals and a number of other parties, for $15,000 in damages allegedly resulting from the termination of a share purchase transaction for the acquisition of the Plaintiffs' company, MedCann Access. The Company believes that the allegations contained in the statement of claim are without merit and plans to vigorously defend itself; accordingly, no provision for loss has been recognized. On February 21, 2018, the parties began the discovery phase of the proceedings, which is ongoing.

 

 

(ii)

Jeffrey Gobuty, brother to Mark Gobuty, former CEO of Peace Naturals, brought a claim against Peace Naturals for $300 and for warrants valued at $125 that were purportedly issued by Mark Gobuty, the former CEO of Peace Naturals. This matter remains in the early stages of litigation and has not yet advanced to the discovery phase.

(iii)

Former Employees' Unlawful Termination Claims. Peace Naturals and Cronos Group were served with claims by Jennifer Caldwell, a former employee, for damages of $580 and 30,000 options of the Company, in connection with claims of alleged wrongful termination. The Company believes that the allegations contained in the statement of claim are without merit and plans to vigorously defend itself; accordingly, no provision for loss has been recognized.

 

(d)

The Company has committed to the following supply agreements:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

In May 2019, the Company announced a take or pay supply agreement with MediPharm Labs Corp ("MediPharm") for cannabis concentrate.

In addition, the Company announced a tolling agreement with MediPharm, where the Company may supply bulk quantities of dried cannabis to MediPharm for processing on a fee for service basis into bulk resin or other cannabis oil derivative products.

Financial instruments

 

(a)

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. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, primarily accounts receivable, and its investing activities, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and related interest receivable held with banks and financial institutions, advances to joint ventures, and loans receivable. The Company's maximum exposure to this risk is equal to the carrying amount of these financial assets.

 

(i)

Accounts receivable

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on the days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns. The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money, and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due. As at June 30, 2019, the Company recognized an approximate expected credit loss allowance of $350 (December 31, 2018 - $50).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Provided below is the information about the credit risk exposure on the Company's accounts receivable using a provision matrix of expected credit loss rates against an analysis of the age of accounts receivable:

The Company has assessed that there is a concentration of credit risk; 83% of the Company's accounts receivable were due from 3 customers as at June 30, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - 88% due from 5 customers).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and interest receivable

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Company held cash and cash equivalents amounting to $1,579,231 at June 30, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $32,634). The short-term investments and related interest receivable of $750,687 (December 31, 2018 - $nil) represents short-term investments with a maturity of less than a year and accrued interest as at June 30, 2019. The cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are held with central banks and financial institution counterparties that are highly rated. As such, the Company has assessed an insignificant loss allowance on these financial instruments.

Financial instruments (continued)

 

(a)

Credit risk (continued)

 

(iii)

Advances to joint ventures

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Company has assessed that there has been no significant increase in credit risk of these advances from initial recognition based on the financial position of the borrowers, and the regulatory and economic environment of the borrowers. As a result, the loss allowance recognized during the period was limited to 12 month expected credit losses. Based on historical information, and adjusted for forward-looking expectations, the Company has assessed an insignificant loss allowance on these advances as at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iv)

Loans receivable

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Credit risk associated with the loans receivable arises from the possibility that the counterparty may experience financial difficulty and be unable to make the contractual payments. The Company has assessed that there has been no significant increase in credit risk of these advances from initial recognition based on the financial position of the borrowers, and the regulatory and economic environment of the borrowers. As a result, the loss allowance recognized during the period was limited to 12 month expected credit losses. Based on historical information, and adjusted for forward-looking expectations, the Company has assessed an insignificant loss allowance on these loans receivable as at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

(b)

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due, and arises principally from the Company's accounts payable and other liabilities, holdbacks payable, government remittances payable, construction loan payable, derivative liabilities, lease obligations, and due to non-controlling interests. The Company's policy is to review liquidity resources and ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet financial obligations as they become due. Further, the Company's management is responsible for ensuring funds exist and are readily accessible to support business opportunities as they arise. The Company's funding is primarily provided in the form of capital raised through the issuance of shares and share-based instruments.

 

The following represents an analysis of the age of accounts payable:

Financial instruments (continued)

 

(c)

Market risk

 

(i)

Price risk

 

 

Price risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company's financial instruments will significantly fluctuate due to changes in market prices. The value of the financial instruments can be affected by changes in interest rates, market and economic conditions, and equity and commodity prices. The Company is exposed to price risk in divesting its investments, such that, unfavourable market conditions could result in dispositions of investments at less than favourable prices. Further, the revaluation of securities classified as fair value through other comprehensive income, could result in significant write-downs of the Company's investments, which would have an adverse impact on the Company's financial position.

 

 

The Company previously managed price risk by having a portfolio of securities from multiple issuers, such that the Company was not singularly exposed to any one issuer. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company substantially divested from its investments subject to price risk. Refer to Note 6.

 

(d)

Currency risk

 

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company's financial instruments will significantly fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to this risk on advances to joint ventures denominated in AUD and USD, refer to Note 5(a). The Company is further exposed to this risk through subsidiaries operating in Israel, refer to Note 2(d). The Company does not currently use foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure to currency risk as management has determined that this risk is not significant at this point in time. As such, the Company's financial position and financial results may be adversely affected by the unfavourable fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

 

The following table provides a summary of financial instruments and other monetary instruments denominated in foreign currency (in thousands):

A 10% strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the foreign currencies listed above would decrease net income by $161 and increase other comprehensive income by $364 (December 31, 2018 - increase net loss by $90 and decrease other comprehensive income by $326). A 10% weakening of the Canadian dollar against the foreign currencies listed above would result in an equal, but opposite effect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(e)

Interest rate risk

 

The Company's exposure to interest rate risk only relates to any investments of surplus cash. The Company invests surplus cash in highly liquid investments with short terms to maturity that would accumulate interest at prevailing rates for such investments. As at June 30, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and related interest receivable amounting to $2,329,918 (December 31, 2018 - $32,634).

23.

Fair value hierarchy

 

Assets recorded at fair value on the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position 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 and liabilities. In these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, other investments (Canopy) are included in this category.

 

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 or indirectly. In these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, there are no financial instruments included in this category.

 

Level 3 - valuation techniques using the inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. In these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, other investments (Evergreen), biological assets, and derivative liabilities are included in this category.

 

The Company's policy for determining when transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy occur is based on the date of the event or changes in circumstances that caused the transfer. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no transfers between levels.

 

For all financial instruments classified as amortized cost, the carrying value approximated fair value at the reporting dates.

 

24.

Capital management

 

The Company's objectives when managing its capital are to maintain a sufficient capital base to: (i) meet its short-term obligations, (ii) sustain future operations and expansions, (iii) ensure its ability to continue as a going concern, and (iv) retain stakeholder confidence. The Company defines capital as its net assets, total assets less total liabilities. 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, options, or warrants, 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 is reasonable. There have been no changes to the Company's capital management approach in the period.

 

As at June 30, 2019, the Company managed net assets of $1,224,463 (December 31, 2018 - $211,640).

Subsequent events

 

 

(a)

On August 2, 2019, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire four of Redwood Holding Group, LLC's operating subsidiaries (collectively, "Redwood"). Redwood manufactures, markets and distributes hemp-derived CBD infused skincare and other consumer products online and through retail and hospitality partner channels in the United States under the brand, Lord Jones™. Redwood’s products use pure hemp oil that contains natural phytocannabinoids and terpenes found in the plant. Cronos Group plans to use its resources to capitalize on the significant demand to further create and scale hemp-derived consumer products and brands.

 

 

 

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will acquire Redwood for approximately $300 million USD, net of Redwood’s estimated cash and debt and subject to a customary working capital adjustment as described in the agreement. $225 million USD of the total consideration (subject to the foregoing adjustments) will be paid in cash with the balance paid in newly issued Cronos Group common shares based on the average of the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on NASDAQ on each of the ten consecutive trading days prior to the date of the agreement. Cronos Group will fund the cash portion of the transaction with cash on hand.

 

 

 

The Company expects the transaction to close in the third quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of Redwood Holding Group, LLC and approved by the Company's Board of Directors following the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of independent directors ("Special Committee"). A Special Committee composed entirely of independent directors of the Company was formed to evaluate and make recommendations to the Board of Directors was established since Michael Gorenstein, Chief Executive Officer and a director of Cronos Group, and Jason Adler, a director of Cronos Group, each hold an indirect interest in Redwood Holding Group, LLC by way of their interest in certain funds affiliated with Gotham Green Partners, which are each limited liability company members of Redwood Holding Group, LLC.

 

 

(b)

On July 31, 2019, the Company closed the previously announced acquisition of certain assets from Apotex Fermentation Inc., including an 84,000 square foot GMP compliant fermentation and manufacturing facility in Winnipeg, Canada. The state-of-the-art facility, which will operate as "Cronos Fermentation", includes fully equipped laboratories covering microbiology, organic and analytical chemistry, quality control and method development as well as two large scale microbial fermentation production areas with a combined production capacity of 102,000 liters, three downstream processing plants, and bulk product and packaging capabilities. The acquisition is expected to provide the fermentation and manufacturing capabilities Cronos Group needs in order to capitalize on the progress underway with Ginkgo, by enabling the Company to produce the target cannabinoids contemplated in the Ginkgo Agreement at commercial scale with high quality and high purity.

 

 

(c)

On July 23, 2019, the Company entered into a contract manufacturing agreement with Heritage Cannabis Holdings Corp. ("Heritage"), a vertically integrated cannabis producer. Heritage will be responsible for providing cannabis extract and the filling and packaging of vaporizer devices for the Canadian cannabis adult-use and medical markets for the Spinach™ and PEACE NATURALS™ brands. The agreement has a two-year term with an option to extend upon agreement by both parties, at an annual potential contract value of $35 million, based on current projections.
