Item 2 Details of Acquisition

2.1

Nature of the Business Acquired

The Company completed the acquisition of common shares of CanniMed Therapeutics Inc. (“CanniMed”) pursuant to a takeover bid made by the Company to purchase all of the outstanding common shares of CanniMed.

On November 24, 2017, the Company commenced a formal offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding common shares of CanniMed on the basis of 4.52586207 Common Shares for each outstanding common share of CanniMed (the “CanniMed Shares”), subject to a maximum of $24 in Common Shares determined based on the 20-day volume weighted average price of the Common Shares on the date that all of the conditions to the offer were satisfied (the “Original Offer”). The Original Offer was commenced by advertisement and a formal takeover bid circular was mailed to all of the shareholders of CanniMed (“CanniMed Shareholders”). The Original Offer was not supported by the CanniMed Board of Directors (the “CanniMed Board”) but was supported by shareholders of CanniMed representing approximately 36% of the then-outstanding CanniMed Shares (the “Locked-Up Shareholders”).

CanniMed is a Canadian-based and TSX-listed international plant biopharmaceutical company and a leader in the Canadian medical cannabis industry, with 17 years of pharmaceutical cannabis cultivation experience, a state-of-the-art, GMP-compliant plant production process, including 281 points of quality control, and world class research and development platforms with a wide range of pharmaceutical-grade cannabis products. In addition, CanniMed has an active plant biotechnology research and product development program focused on the production of plant-based materials for pharmaceutical, agricultural and environmental applications.


Each of CanniMed’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Prairie Plant Systems Inc. (“PPS”) and CanniMed, Ltd. (“CMED”) is a Licensed Producer under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”) by continuation of the Licenses granted to PPS and CMED under the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (“MMPR”) and the exemptions granted pursuant to section 56 of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (Canada). PPS was also the sole producer of cannabis for the Government of Canada for more than 13 years under the predecessor Marihuana Medical Access Regulations (“MMAR”).

CanniMed cultivates and sells pharmaceutical-grade cannabis products in both dried herbal and oil form to Canadians registered under the ACMPR. CanniMed is also a leader in the development of pharmaceutical products containing phytocannabinoids and other compounds found in cannabis. CanniMed believes the emergence of cannabis-based products, particularly cannabis oils and capsules, will have a significant impact on the global pain management market and represents a significant commercial opportunity for CanniMed. CanniMed staff has extensive experience in a number of biopharmaceutical areas, providing CanniMed with a wide base of capabilities to develop new cannabis products, improve existing technologies and to service patients and customers.

CanniMed has developed a proprietary cloning technique, which it currently uses in its propagation techniques for many nutraceutical plants including cannabis.

CanniMed also has the capability to manufacture a variety of plant-based active pharmaceutical ingredients, such as high-value proteins (including enzymes and cytokines) and phytochemicals (including purified phytocannabinoids). CanniMed has sold these compounds as research chemicals and is currently optimizing a multiple expression platform for cultivating human and nonhuman proteins in transgenic plants.

CanniMed was established in 1988 as a privately-held plant biotechnology company with a focus on research and development. CanniMed’s initial research goal was to develop fruit trees hardy enough to survive and thrive in the harsh Canadian climate.

In December 2000, Health Canada awarded PPS a five-year contract to develop comprehensive operations for the growing and cultivation of medical cannabis.

This began CanniMed’s long history of cannabis cultivation, with the first crops being grown in a biosecure underground growth chamber in Flin Flon, Manitoba. In 2001, PPS became a Licensed Dealer under the Narcotic Control Regulations (“NCR”) and the sole authorized source of dried marijuana for Health Canada under the MMAR. After being awarded its license, CanniMed engaged in an extensive research and development effort to gain a detailed understanding of cannabis genealogy, to identify, catalogue and cultivate an extensive number of cannabis strains, to design and build proprietary growing technologies and to refine its cultivation process to ensure consistent output and maximize yields. CanniMed began selling dried marijuana to the Government of Canada in early 2004.


As CanniMed’s research and development efforts continued as a Licensed Dealer, management of CanniMed recognized the potential for medical cannabis to aid patients in dealing with a large number of medical conditions, including chronic pain. In particular, management of CanniMed believed that medical cannabis products that were manufactured to a pharmaceutical-grade standard would ultimately be accepted in the medical community as a safe and effective treatment option that offers fewer side effects than existing, more aggressive, medications such as opiates that are frequently used to manage chronic pain.

Between 2009 and 2011, CanniMed employed seven patented growing technologies, processes and other trade secrets, and expanded its cultivation infrastructure with a newly constructed 35,000 sq. ft. above-ground facility in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Production in this facility is compliant with the same standards and procedures that pharmaceutical companies adhere to in manufacturing their products in North America.

The MMPR came into force on June 19, 2013 and on September 19, 2013, CanniMed’s subsidiaries, PPS and CanniMed Ltd., became the first two Licensed Producers under the MMPR.

CanniMed operates biosecure growth facilities located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, comprised of two above-ground production facilities with an aggregate of 97,000 sq. ft. and a 96,000 sq. ft. support building. The two production facilities together house 30 large individual production growth chambers and have a total growing capacity of 7,000 kilograms per annum. The 96,000 sq. ft. support building houses CanniMed’s administrative infrastructure, including laboratories, quality control facilities, maintenance areas, a customer care centre and shipping and distribution facilities. The Saskatoon facility is equipped with a robust state-of-the-art security system, with over 400 separate security devices, including over 160 cameras capturing approximately five terabytes of recorded data per month. In compliance with the ACMPR, the footage recorded by CanniMed’s cameras is stored for two years. The Saskatoon facility also houses five separate Level 7 security compliant vaults, which are required for the storage of controlled substances.

The facility in Saskatoon is focused primarily on the commercialization of medical cannabis, as well as the research and development of new strains of cannabis. The procedures at this facility place a heavy emphasis on patient safety, with a 281-point quality control process.


While traditional growing methods, including greenhouses, are limited by soil conditions and climate, CanniMed’s facilities are unique in the industry in that all crops are grown in its patented biosecure growth chambers, resulting in several key benefits:

 

Controlled Environment: Conditions are completely controlled through automation of light, heat and water. With no drought, floods, wind, insects or harsh natural elements, plants are afforded uninterrupted and optimized growing cycles, resulting in maximal product yields and consistent product quality on a continuous basis;

 

Rapid Plant Growth: Plants often grow faster and stronger in biosecure facilities than they do in fields or greenhouses, potentially as a result of slightly higher carbon dioxide levels in biosecure facilities;

 

Quality Control: The stable environment facilitates CanniMed’s thorough application of GMP, “Good Agricultural Practices”, “Good Production Practices” and “Good Laboratory Practices”;

 

Pesticides or Herbicides: With no threat of insect, pests, or the plant diseases they can carry, there is no need for pesticides or herbicides and no residues on unpurified bulk material from the CanniMed’s plants. This provides at least two benefits. First, facilitating regulatory compliance by eliminating the need to quantify unwanted material residue throughout the production process, also resulting in cost savings. Second, end- user/consumer perception that CanniMed’s customers may have a preference for material prepared without any contact with pesticides or herbicides; and

 

Secrecy: CanniMed’s Saskatoon facility incorporates extensive security features and provides a limited number of secure entry and exit points. These features facilitate protecting trade secrets and other intellectual property relating to high-value plants. Advanced intrusion alarm systems further ensure plant safety.

CanniMed has commenced a capital project to increase its current cannabinoid oils processing capacity by constructing a new facility on the existing site. The planned EU-GMP-compliant extraction facility is designed to have the initial capacity to supply the equivalent of 12 million 60 ml bottles of CanniMed oil per year. The project is estimated to employ 85 full-time employees during a 20-month construction schedule to commissioning and to create 25 new employment full-time positions. The facility has been designed to accommodate further modular increases in capacity in up to three subsequent phases. Aurora plans to accelerate the certification of CanniMed’s facility.

Acquisition Date

March 15, 2018 (approximately 84%) and March 26, 2018 (approximately 9%).

2.3

Consideration

On February 5, 2018, Aurora filed a Notice of Variation to the Original Offer providing for an improved offer (the “Improved Offer”) for all of the outstanding CanniMed Shares not owned by Aurora.

The Improved Offer provided CanniMed Shareholders with the right to elect to receive, for each CanniMed Share: (i) 3.40 common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”); (ii) $0.43 in cash; or (iii) any combination of Common Shares and cash, subject to proration of a maximum aggregate cash amount of $140,000,000. The Improved Offer was based on 24,673,523 CanniMed Shares outstanding on a non-diluted basis and 25,277,245 CanniMed Shares outstanding on a fully-diluted basis as of the close of business on February 5, 2018. The 700,600 CanniMed Shares purchased in the market and owned by the Company as at February 5, 2018 were excluded from the Improved Offer.

The Company completed an initial take up of CanniMed Shares on March 15, 2018, and a final take up of CanniMed Shares on March 26, 2018. On March 15, 2018, the Company took up 21,309,517 CanniMed Shares, representing approximately 84% of the outstanding CanniMed Shares for consideration of 62,833,216 Aurora common shares and $121,479,347 cash. On March 26, 2018, Aurora took up a further 2,202,970 CanniMed Shares, representing approximately 9% of the outstanding CanniMed Shares on a fully diluted basis for consideration of 6,495,679 Aurora common shares and $12,558,534 cash. In addition, The Company acquired a total of 700,600 CanniMed Shares in the open market for a cost of $16,144,176. As of March 26, 2018, Aurora held 24,213,087 CanniMed Shares, representing approximately 96% of the outstanding CanniMed Shares. On March 28, 2018, Aurora announced that the Improved Offer had expired, and that it would complete the acquisition of the remaining outstanding CanniMed Shares through the compulsory acquisition procedures of the Canada Business Corporations Act. On April 6, 2018 Aurora commenced the compulsory acquisition procedures, and expects to acquire the remaining CanniMed Shares on May 1, 2018. CanniMed shareholders have the opportunity to receive the same consideration and in the same form as they were entitled to receive under the Improved Offer.

The cash consideration for the Improved Offer was provided through $55 million of the funds received from the Company’s offering of Special Warrants completed November 28, 2017 and $85 million of the funds received from the offering of convertible debentures which was completed on March 9, 2018. Neither of the offerings were conducted for the specific purposes of completing the Improved Offer.



2.4

Effect on Financial Position

On March 2, 2018 prior to the completion of the acquisition, CanniMed completed the sale of certain non-core assets, including: (i) SubTerra LLC (“SubTerra”), which operated a facility located in White Pine, Michigan and has applied for a State of Michigan Class C Grower License and State of Michigan Processor License, for the production and processing of cannabis, respectively, (ii) assets relating to CanniMed’s “Fruit Tree” business, and (iii) the assets known as the Interleukin Platform, for the processing of Interleukin 37 protein. None of the assets sold currently relate to cannabis production. The purchase price for the assets was $1.0 million. CanniMed has initially retained a 19.9% interest in SubTerra and in the Interleukin Platform.

CanniMed’s assets will be integrated into Aurora’s current business structure in order to bolster Aurora’s industry standing, market share and global presence. Aurora has already begun integration of CanniMed’s assets.

2.5

Prior Valuations

Aurora is not aware of any prior valuations of CanniMed required by securities legislation or any stock exchange.

2.6

Parties to Transaction

The parties to the transaction are Aurora Cannabis Inc. and the shareholders of CanniMed. Aurora acted at arm’s length to all of the CanniMed Shareholders. Aurora entered into lock up agreements with the holders of 36% of the outstanding CanniMed Shares pursuant to which the Locked Up Shareholders agreed to tender their CanniMed Shares to the Original Offer (and the Improved Offer, once it was made) before commencing the Original Offer. In addition, in connection with the Improved Offer, holders of an additional 15% of the outstanding CanniMed Shares entered into support agreements with Aurora, agreeing to tender their shares to the Improved Offer. All CanniMed Shareholders subject to Lock Up agreements or support agreements tendered their CanniMed Shares before the initial take up on March 15, 2018.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

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.

Correction of an Immaterial Error

During the fourth quarter, the Company completed a review of its inventory and biological asset model (“Model”), including the estimates and assumptions within the Model. During this review, Management identified an immaterial error that impacts 2016 and years prior to 2016. Specifically, opening Inventories and Biological assets in 2016 were overstated by $1.6 million. In addition, in conjunction with this review, a related immaterial tax error was also identified and corrected. Accordingly, the Company has recorded an adjustment to opening retained earnings for fiscal 2016. The Company has restated the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive loss and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to correct the error.

The following table presents the impact on fiscal 2016’s opening retained earnings:

Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 26, 2018.

Details of the Company’s accounting policies, including future changes, are included in Notes 4 and 5.

Corporate reorganization

Since acquiring all of the shares of Prairie Plant Systems Inc. (“PPS”) on November 1, 2016, PPS has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of CanniMed. On October 31, 2016, prior to its acquisition by CanniMed, PPS completed a corporate reorganization (the “Reorganization”).

Prior to the Reorganization, shareholders of PPS held 3,667,695 Class “A” common shares in the capital of PPS (the “Old Shares”) and PPS owned all of the shares of PPS USA Holdings, Inc. Also, prior to the Reorganization, PPS created a new wholly-owned subsidiary, PM Power Group Holdings Ltd. (“PM Power”) which acquired all of the shares of PPS USA Holdings, Inc. Another holding company, CanniMed, was also created. Pursuant to a share exchange agreement entered into with each of its shareholders (the “Share Exchange Agreements”), PPS amended its capital by filing articles of amendment to create an unlimited number of Class “D” shares, and PPS shareholders then transferred to PPS their Old Shares effective on October 31, 2016 in exchange for one Class “D” share of PPS (the “New Shares”) and one common share of PM Power (the “PM Shares”) for each Old Share held by the PPS shareholders.

On November 1, 2016, CanniMed acquired 100 percent of the Class “D” shares of PPS by executing a share exchange transaction on a 4:1 basis where CanniMed issued 14,670,780 CanniMed common shares to PPS’ shareholders in exchange for their 3,667,695 Class “D” shares of PPS. As a result of this transaction, former shareholders of PPS held 100 percent of the common shares of CanniMed, and CanniMed became the holder of 100 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of PPS.

For the years ended October 31, 2017 and 2016
Expressed in Thousands of Canadian Dollars, except share data or as otherwise noted
 

In relation to the transaction whereby CanniMed acquired 100% of the PPS Class D shares, CanniMed is considered the acquirer and the PPS the acquiree. The acquisition was recorded using the previous carrying values of PPS’s assets and liabilities as the acquisition of the shares did not result in a substantial change in ownership. Moreover, the consolidated financial statements are under the name of CanniMed; however, they are a continuation of the financial statements of PPS, which had a financial year end of October 31, 2016. As a result, the comparative figures presented are those of PPS.

Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for biological assets and certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is CanniMed’s functional and presentation currency. The subsidiary located in the United States of America has a U.S. dollar functional currency and the subsidiaries located in Canada have a Canadian dollar functional currency.

Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements incorporate the accounts of CanniMed and entities controlled by it. Control exists when CanniMed has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that currently are exercisable are taken into account. The accounts of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Specifically, income and expenses of the subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognized in the profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary interest. All amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

At October 31, 2017, the Company had the following wholly-owned subsidiary corporations: Prairie Plant Systems Inc. (operating in Canada), CanniMed Ltd. (operating in Canada), SubTerra (operating in the US), 10420484 Canada Inc. (operating in Canada) and CanniMed International Ltd. (a holding company incorporated in Canada). Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

4.

Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies utilized by the Company have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

(a)

Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of each entity at monthly average exchange rates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the consolidated statement of financial position date are translated to each entity’s functional currency at the foreign exchange rate applicable at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.

Page 10



CanniMed Therapeutics Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended October 31, 2017 and 2016
Expressed in Thousands of Canadian Dollars, except share data or as otherwise noted
 

The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars, CanniMed’s functional currency, using exchange rates prevailing at the reporting period. The income and expense transactions of foreign operations are translated to Canadian dollars at the monthly average exchange rates, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Foreign currency differences on translation to the reporting currency are recognized directly in accumulated other comprehensive income.

On the disposal of a foreign operations (i.e. a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operations), all of the exchange difference accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.

(b)

Business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for acquisitions of subsidiaries and assets that meet the definition of a business under IFRS. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of an acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized immediately in the statement of operations as a bargain purchase gain. Associated transaction costs are expensed when incurred.

(c)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash held at banks and restricted cash.

(d)

Inventories

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

(e)

Biological assets

The Company measures biological assets, consisting of plants, at fair value less cost to sell up to the point of harvest. Agricultural produce consisting of plant produce is measured at fair value less cost to sell at the point of harvest, which becomes the basis for the cost of finished goods inventories after harvest.

Unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in fair value less cost to sell during the year, including the impact on the carrying amount of inventory, are included in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.

(f)

Convertible debenture receivable

The Company’s note receivable is presented separately from the conversion feature and warrants. The Company estimates the carrying value of the note receivable component using a discounted cash flow model, and estimated the fair value of the conversion feature and warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The value of the conversion feature is remeasured at each reporting date until settlement, with changes in the fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of (loss) income.

(g)

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Amortization is provided on a straight line basis as follows:

  Buildings 5% to 10%
  Production equipment  
        •      Growing equipment 20% to 30%
        •      Power equipment 10% to 20%
  Office and other equipment 20% to 100%
  Assets under finance lease 5%

An asset's residual value, useful lives and amortization method are reviewed at each reporting period and, if appropriate, adjusted on a prospective basis as a change in estimate. When parts of an item of property, plant and 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 property, plant and equipment and are recognized in profit or loss.

(h)

Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are comprised of costs incurred to acquire patent protection and internally generated project development costs, both of which are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The deferred patents costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related patent once the patent has been awarded. Development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 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.

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 as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

(i)

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, including property plant and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indicators of impairment at each consolidated 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 purposes 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 by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lessor of the revised estimate of recoverable amount, and the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized previously.

(j)

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing if the carrying value of a CGU, including the allocated 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 a CGU are first allocated to the carrying value of goodwill and any excess is allocated to the carrying amount of assets in the CGU. Any goodwill impairment is recorded in profit or loss in the period in which the impairment is identified. Impairment losses on goodwill are not subsequently reversed. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company's CGUs, or groups of CGUs, expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

On disposal of the relevant CGU, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

(k)

Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present obligation or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax risk free rate.

(l)

Government grants

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the grants and that the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Government grants whose primary condition is that the Company purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognized as deferred revenue in the consolidated statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

(m)

Leased assets

Leases are 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, in which case the lease is classified as a finance lease and the asset is treated as if it had been purchased outright.

Operating leases 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.

Page 13



CanniMed Therapeutics Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended October 31, 2017 and 2016
Expressed in Thousands of Canadian Dollars, except share data or as otherwise noted
 

For finance leases, the amount initially recognized as an asset is the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the value of the minimum lease payments payable over the term of the lease. The corresponding lease commitment is shown as a liability. Lease payments are analyzed between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation. The interest element is charged to the consolidated statement of operations over the period of the lease and is calculated so that it represents a constant proportion of the lease liability. The capital element reduces the balance owed to the lessor.

(n)

Discontinued operation – Non-current assets held for sale

A discontinued operation is a component of the Company’s business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the Company and which:

 

Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;

Is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or

 

Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to re- sale.

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs on disposal by sale, closure or abandonment or when the operation meets the criteria to be held-for-sale, if earlier.

With the classification of PM Power Group ("PMPG”) as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income has been reclassified as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.

Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as a discontinued operation are measured at lower of the carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell.

(o)

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the customer, the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and it is probable that the economic benefits of the transaction will flow to the Company. Significant risks and rewards are generally considered to be transferred when the Company has shipped the product to customers.

A former subsidiary of the Company, PMPG, receives revenue from the sale of power; PMPG ceased being a subsidiary of the Company on October 31, 2016. The Company considered the detailed criteria for the recognition of revenue from the sale of power set out in IAS 18, specifically whether the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Under a negotiated annual agreement with the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (“MISO”), the entity is awarded compensation according to a schedule of costs, including anticipated capital repairs and related projects, which reflects the MISO tariff in place during the settlement period, for the cost of operating and maintaining its natural gas power plant. MISO pays the entity a monthly allocation during the term of the agreement along with supplemental payments prorated for any partial monthly availability for service as a System Support Resource (“SSR”) unit. Each monthly SSR payment is made regardless of dispatch of the SSR Unit during that month. Revenue is recognized according to the consideration that the entity expects to be entitled to from MISO over the term of the agreement and on an accrual basis.

PMPG also has a Michigan Licensed Alternative Electric Supply business, UP Power Marketing, LLC (“UPPM”), fully licensed within the State of Michigan to sell retail electric energy. The energy revenue is recognized upon delivery of electricity to the customers. These contributions are recognized immediately in profit or loss as revenue under UPPM.

(p)

Employee Benefits

Short-term Employee Benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus plans if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Group RSP / Deferred Profit Sharing Plan

The Company has a group registered savings plan (“Group RSP”). Employees are required to participate in the Group RSP plan after six months of employment. Pursuant to the Group RSP, the Company provides a two percent match to those employed between six months and two years and a three percent match to those who have over two years of continuous employment. The employer portion of the Deferred Profit Sharing Plan will vest after the employee has completed two years of plan membership.

Share-based compensation

The Company has an employee stock option plan. 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. Fair value is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. 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.

Consideration paid by employees on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and the related share-based compensation is transferred from stock-based compensation reserves to share capital.

(q)

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(r)

Taxation

Income tax expense (recovery) represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The current tax expense (recovery) is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from income (loss) as reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the year.

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is charged or credited to net income (loss), except when related to items charged or credited to either other comprehensive income or directly to equity.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the year.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the year, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

(s)

Earnings per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its common shares. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the earnings attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, relating to warrants and share options issued.

(t)

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a Company entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value on the date that they are originated. 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 assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

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 fair value through profit or loss, 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 fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

The Company classifies its financial assets as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, or available for sale. A financial asset is classified at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss 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 fair value through profit or loss 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.

Available for sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available for sale or are not classified as:

  (a)

loans and receivables,

  (b)

held-to-maturity investments; or

  (c)

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

The Company classifies its financial liabilities as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss 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.

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

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

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

Repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognized and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments.

Classification of financial instruments

The Company classifies it financial assets and liabilities depending on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired, their characteristics, and management intent as outlined below:

Classification  
Cash and cash equivalents Loans and receivable
Accounts receivable Loans and receivable
Convertible debenture receivable Loans and receivable
Derivable asset Fair value through profit and loss
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Other liabilities
Derivative instrument liabilities Fair value through profit and loss
Loans and borrowings Other liabilities

Derivative financial instruments

The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate transactions. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and subsequently re-measured at fair value at the end of each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in the profit or loss.

Transaction costs are netted against the proceeds received. The liability portion of the debenture has been designated as other financial liability and is initially recognized at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, the debenture is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The common share purchase warrants are initially recognized at fair value and are not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each 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.

Accounting standards

Changes in Accounting Policies

The Company has adopted the following new standards, along with any consequential amendments, effective November 1, 2016. These changes were made in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions.

Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 Agriculture: Bearer Plants

This amendment provides guidance regarding the accounting for bearer plants by providing a definition of bearer plants and brings bearer plants within the scope of IAS 16 from IAS 41. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, and has been applied retrospectively. The amendment did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the carrying cost of bearer plants is negligible.

Disclosure Initiative (Amendments to IAS 1)

On December 18, 2014, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements as part of its major initiative to improve presentation and disclosure in financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. These amendments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

In September 2014, IFRS 10 was amended to clarify an inconsistency between this standard and IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The amendment requires that a full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if the assets are housed in a subsidiary. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. This amendment did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Future Changes in Accounting Policies

These are the changes that the Company reasonably expects will have an impact on its disclosures, financial position or performance when applied at a future date. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, IFRS 15 was issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) which provides a comprehensive framework for recognition, measurement, and disclosure of revenue from contracts with customers, excluding contracts within the scope of the standards on leases, insurance contracts and financial instruments. IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early application permitted. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt the guidance. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of IFRS 15.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 was issued by 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. Two measurement categories continue to exist to account for financial liabilities in IFRS 9, fair value through profit or loss and amortized cost. Financial liabilities held-for-trading are measured at fair value through profit or loss, and all other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost unless the fair value option is applied. The treatment of embedded derivatives under the new standard is consistent with IAS 39 and is applied to financial liabilities and non-derivative hosts not within the scope of the standard. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of IFRS 9.

IFRS 16 Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, which specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize 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 recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 as an adjustment to opening equity at the date of initial application. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of IFRS 16.

IFRS 2 Share-Based Payment

In June 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2. These amendments provide clarification on how to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions. The amendments are effective for the annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The extent of the impact of the adoption of the amendments has not yet been determined.

IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows

As part of their disclosure initiative, the IASB has issued amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows requiring a reconciliation of liabilities arising from financing activities to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate both cash flow and non-cash changes in the net debt of a Company. The amendments to IAS 7 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The Company will adopt these amendments in its financial statements for the year beginning on November 1, 2017. The extent of the impact of adoption of the amendments has not yet been determined.

IAS 12 Income Taxes

In January 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 to provide clarification on the requirements relating to the recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealized losses on debt instruments measured at fair value. Adoption of the amendments to IAS 12 is required for the annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The Company will adopt these amendments in its financial statements for the year beginning on November 1, 2017. The extent of the impact of adoption of the amendments has not yet been determined.

6.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements:

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and 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 year in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected.

Critical judgements in applying accounting policies

Revenue recognition

In relation to its discontinued operation, the Company considered the detailed criteria for the recognition of revenue from the sale of power set out in IAS 18, specifically whether the amount of revenue could be measured reliably. As a result, management made judgements regarding whether the amount of revenue could be measured reliably and determined that the revenue recognized under these contracts could be measured reliably.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Valuation of biological assets and inventories

Biological assets consisting of cannabis plants are measured at fair value less costs to sell up to the point of harvest. Determination of the fair values of the biological assets requires the Company to make assumptions about how market participants assign fair values to these assets. These assumptions primarily relate to the level of effort required to bring the cannabis plants up to the point of harvest, costs to convert the harvested plants to finished goods, sales price, risk of loss, expected remaining future yields for the plants, and estimating values during the growth cycle.

The valuation of biological assets at the point of harvest is the cost basis for all cannabis based inventory and thus any critical estimates and judgements related to the valuation of biological assets are also applicable for inventory. The valuation of work in process and finished goods also requires the estimate of conversion costs incurred, which become part of the carrying amount for the inventory. The Company must also determine if the cost of any inventory exceeds its net realizable value, such as cases where prices have decreased, or inventory has spoiled or has otherwise been damaged. See Note 8 for additional information with respect to the estimates contained within biological assets.

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

Amortization of property, plant and equipment and finite-life intangible assets are dependent upon estimates of useful lives, which are determined through the exercise of judgement. 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.

Impairment of goodwill, intangibles and long-lived assets

Determining whether impairment relating to goodwill, intangibles and long-lived assets exists requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of cash generating units (“CGUs”). Determining a CGU’s recoverable amount requires the determination of the higher of the value in use of the CGU and the fair value less cost to sell of the CGU. The determination of the recoverable amount requires the Company to estimate future cash flows, discount rates and salvage values, as applicable.

Convertible debenture receivable

Management is required to make many estimates when determining the valuation of its convertible debenture receivable. The convertible debenture receivable, and the associated conversion feature and warrants (which comprise the Derivative asset on the Statement of Financial Position), required option pricing models that involved various estimates and assumptions.

Share-based compensation

In calculating the share-based compensation expense, key estimates such as the value of the common shares, the rate of forfeiture of options granted, the expected life of the option and the risk-free interest rate are used.

Warrants

In calculating the value of the warrants, key estimates such as the value of the common shares and the risk-free interest rate are used.

Taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with tax planning strategies.

Derivative liability relating to convertible debt

Determination of the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities requires the Company to establish estimates of unobservable inputs such as the fair value of the Company’s shares.

Accounts receivable


As at October 31,   2017     2016  
Trade receivables $  940   $  786  
Scientific Research and Experimental Development investment tax credits 125 349
  $  1,065   $  1,135  

Trade receivables disclosed above include amounts that are past due but not impaired at the end of the reporting period for which the Company has not recognized an allowance for doubtful accounts because there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable. At October 31, 2017, these past due amounts were $0.06 million (October 31, 2016 - $0.1 million).

Biological assets, end of year $  1,451   $  481  

All plants are harvested for the sale of consumable product and take approximately fourteen to sixteen weeks to grow prior to harvest.

The significant assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value of biological assets are as follows:

  wastage of plants based on their various stages of biological transformation;
  fair value less cost to sell at the point of harvest;
  amounts of depreciation and overhead incurred and allocated to biological assets.

11.

Convertible debenture receivable


(a)

Convertible debenture receivable

On September 29, 2017, a subsidiary of CanniMed purchased a secured convertible debenture (the “Debenture”) in the principal amount of $4.0 million from Newstrike Resources Inc. (“Newstrike”), a company listed on the TSXV (TSXV: HIP). The Debenture will mature in three years and bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum, payable quarterly. The Debenture is convertible at the option of CanniMed into common shares of Newstrike, at a price per of $0.365 per common share. In the event of a change of control, the principal under the Debenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a premium of 10% of the principal, will be payable. In such event, the premium and accrued interest are convertible at the option of the lender into common shares of Newstrike, at the higher of $0.365 or the market price at the time of conversion.

Derivative assets

Details of the Company’s derivative assets are as follows:

Derivative assets are comprised of the conversion feature of the Debenture and of the warrants associated with the debenture. The fair value of these derivative assets was calculated as follows:

As at October 31,   2017     2016  
Fair value of conversion feature, inception $  1,573   $  -  
Mark to market derivative gain   198     -  
  $  1,771   $  -

Fair value of warrants, inception $  1,452   $  -  
Mark to market derivative gain   175     -  
  $  1,627   $  -  
             
Total derivative asset $  3,398   $  -  

The change in the fair value of the conversion feature and warrants resulted in a decrease in the Company’s net loss, due to an increase of $0.4 million in the fair value for the year ended October 31, 2017.

Black-Scholes Assumptions

The fair value of the conversion feature and common share purchase warrants were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model under the following assumptions:

    October 31,     September 29,  
    2017     2017  
Expected dividend yield (%)   0%     0%  
Average risk-free interest rate (%)   1.5%     1.6%  
Expected life (years)   2.9     3.0  
Expected volatility (%)   72.0%     76.5%

Conversion of Convertible Debentures (2016 and 2015 offerings)

During January 2017, certain debenture holders converted $11.3 million (principal balance) of convertible debentures into 514,265 fully paid Class “A” common shares of PPS. Pursuant to the Reorganization, the Class “A” common shares of PPS, pursuant to these conversions, were converted into Class “D” common shares of PPS and the resulting Class “D” common shares of PPS were then exchanged on a 4:1 basis for shares of CanniMed, for a total of 2,057,060 common shares of CanniMed. The right to convert into equity expired on January 31, 2017. Debentures that were not converted into equity, representing a principal sum of $0.2 million, now carry an interest rate of 12% per annum. The outstanding balance of the principal sum is repayable in twenty equal quarterly payments, commencing April 30, 2017. The remaining debentures are subject to a prepayment option on the part of the Company; any principal sum subject to a prepayment shall include a prepayment penalty equal to six months’ interest (based on the prescribed rate of 12%).

Stock option data for the 2016 fiscal year reflects the impact of an exchange of PPS stock options for CanniMed stock options which took place on November 1, 2016.

The weighted average market share price at the date of exercise for stock options exercised during the year ended October 31, 2017 was $10.22.

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 2017 was $3.30 and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with assumptions of a 5-year weighted average expected option life, volatility of 43.7% and an interest rate of 1.6% . The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 2016 was $5.36 and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with assumptions of a two-year weighted average expected option life, volatility of 70% and an interest rate of 0.6% . Subsequent to October 31, 2016, in conjunction with the corporate Reorganization of PPS, the option agreements for the foregoing options were exchanged for option agreements with CanniMed Therapeutics.

A deferred tax asset has not been recognized in respect of $0.4 million (2016 - $0.4 million) of realized capital losses in Canada as it is not considered probable that there will be sufficient future taxable capital gains available for which the unused capital losses can be utilized.

Discontinued Operations and Impairment Loss

Discontinued Operations

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company adopted a formal plan to dispose of its power division in conjunction with a corporate restructuring and, on October 31, 2016, PPS completed the Reorganization. Prior to the Reorganization, shareholders of PPS held 3,667,695 Class “A” common shares in the capital of PPS and PPS owned all of the shares of PPS USA Holdings, Inc., the parent company of P.M. Power Group Holdings, Inc. Also, prior to the Reorganization, PPS created a new subsidiary, PM Power Group Holdings Ltd. (“PM Power”), which acquired all of the shares of PPS USA Holdings, Inc.

Effective October 31, 2016, the Reorganization resulted in the Company distributing, to the same shareholders existing prior to the Reorganization, all of the shares of PM Power. The assets and liabilities associated with PM Power were transferred at their carrying values at October 31, 2016 due to the transfer happening with PPS’s shareholders.

The combined results of the discontinued operations included in the loss for the year ended October 31, 2016 are set out below; there are no results of discontinued operations for the year ended October 31, 2017 as PM Power is not part of the continuing operations of CanniMed.

The results of this discontinued operation were as follows:

For the years ended October 31,   2017     2016  
             
Revenue $  -   $  10,287  
Other income   -     376

The purpose of the operating agreement is for SubTerra’s to plant and grow biomass in its Underground Growth Chamber (“UGC)” and to harvest and ship plant biomass which PPS can use to develop a plant based manufacturing platform for the production of medical compounds. Subject to the terms of the Agreement, PPS has agreed to pay SubTerra a flat rate of thirty-five thousand United States Dollars ($35,000 USD) per full month of services rendered and reimbursement of various other expenses incurred by SubTerra that relate to the planting, growth, harvesting and shipping of plant biomass for PPS. During 2017, a total of $0.4 million USD was paid to SubTerra (2016 - $0.4 million USD). These payments are intercompany in nature and are eliminated on the consolidated results of operations of the Company.

Power Purchase Contract

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is also the Chief Executive Officer of PM Power. In addition, members of the Company’s Board of Directors are shareholders of PM Power and collectively hold, either individually or via organizations that they represent, approximately 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of PM Power.

In connection with the Reorganization noted above, SubTerra entered into an agreement (“the Power Purchase Contract”), pursuant to which PM Power Group, Inc. has agreed to distribute electricity to the SubTerra facility. There have been no transactions between SubTerra and PM Power with respect to the Power Purchase Contract.

Construction Services Agreement

Loan Agreement

During the third quarter of 2017, PPS (the “Lender”) entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan”) with PM Power Group Inc. (the “Borrower”) for one hundred fifty thousand United States Dollars ($150,000 USD), together with interest commencing July 6, 2017 at a rate of 1.25% per month, calculated daily and compounded monthly. The loan was initially scheduled to mature on October 31, 2017; however, an extension was granted to this deadline in exchange for an increased interest rate of 1.75% . Full repayment of the Loan was received in December 2017.

In addition to the Loan, the Borrower was indebted to the Lender in the additional amount of one hundred eight thousand three hundred thirty-five United States Dollars ($108,334 USD) which was repayable in full on or before October 31, 2017. An extension was granted to this deadline and full repayment was received in December 2017.

To secure obligations of the Borrower to pay the principal amount, interest and any and all other amounts owing to the Lender or its affiliates and related parties, the Borrower agreed to grant the Lender a primary security interest over all real and personal property of the Borrower (the “Security”). The Security ranked ahead of any security provided by the Borrower to other parties and shall be further evidenced by a general security agreement. This primary security interest was removed after payment was received in full.

Financial risk management and financial instruments

The Company is exposed to various risks through its financial instruments, as follows:

Capital Management

The Company manages its capital to provide sufficient liquidity for it operating and growth activities. In order to achieve this objective the Company prepares annual budgets and capital requirements to manage its capital structure.

The capital structure of the Company consists of loans and borrowings (Note 15) and equity, comprised of issued capital stock, share-based payments, accumulated and other comprehensive income and retained earnings.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily for trade receivables and convertible debenture receivable) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and derivatives.

The Company does not hold any collateral as security but mitigates this risk by dealing only with what management believes to be financially sound counterparties and, accordingly, does not anticipate significant loss for non-performance. The exposure on trade receivables is minimal since the majority of the amount noted is due from government agencies or insurers. There is no material exposure to credit risk on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable or convertible debenture receivable on the statement of financial position.

Liquidity

The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on the collection of accounts receivable and the raising of funds to meet commitments and sustain operations. The Company controls liquidity risk by management of working capital, cash flows and the issuance of share capital. The Company has access to lines of credit with available borrowings of $1.5 million at October 31, 2017 and cash and cash equivalents totaling $48.4 million (October 31, 2016 - $2.0 million).

The Company has the following principal payments / commitments at October 31, 2017:

In addition to the above, at October 31, 2017, the Company had $3.3 million of construction commitments relating to its capital expansion projects.

Market

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings that arise from fluctuations of foreign exchange rates, specifically the U.S. Dollar. Currency risk arises as a result of the Company's investment in SubTerra. Management believes this risk is reduced by the fact that this U.S. subsidiary operates in a politically and economically stable foreign country. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency changes is considered to be not material.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the loans and borrowings obligations with floating interest rates. The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to fix its exposure to variable interest rates on approximately one half of its long-term debt. In addition, the Company has a convertible debenture receivable with a fixed interest rate.

Categories of financial instruments

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 that 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.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 and 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

Level 1 inputs are from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 inputs are the unobservable inputs for assets and liabilities.

The following table provides information with respect to financial instruments held as at:

Subsequent Events

CanniMed Therapeutics Inc. and Aurora Cannabis Agree to Terms on Friendly Transaction

On January 24, 2018, CanniMed Therapeutics Inc. and Aurora Cannabis Inc. (“Aurora”) (TSX: ACB) (OTCQB: ACBFF) (Frankfurt: 21P; WKN: A1C4WM) announced that they have entered into a support agreement (the “Support Agreement”) whereby the Board of Directors and the Special Committee of the CanniMed Board have agreed to support a new offer (“New Offer”) made by Aurora for the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of CanniMed not owned by Aurora.

Under the New Offer, CanniMed shareholders may receive in respect of each CanniMed share, 3.40 Aurora shares or a combination of cash and shares at the election of each CanniMed Shareholder, subject to pro-ration with the maximum aggregate cash consideration of $140 million. Based on an implied Aurora share price of $12.65 and the 3.40 exchange ratio, the New Offer would equate to $43.00, representing a 181% premium over the closing price of CanniMed Shares on November 14, 2017, the last day prior to the public disclosure of Aurora’s intention to pursue a combination with CanniMed, and a 79% increase to the previous offer Cap Price of $24.00.

The total consideration for CanniMed under the New Offer is approximately $1.1 billion based on Aurora’s implied share price of $12.65 and the maximum amount of cash of $140 million. The number of Aurora shares to be issued will be between approximately 72 million (assuming full cash elections) and 84 million (assuming full share elections and no cash elections). Assuming maximum cash elections, each CanniMed shareholder would receive $5.70 in cash and 2.9493 Aurora shares.

Support Agreement

The Support Agreement provides that CanniMed will support the New Offer and will recommend to its shareholders in an amended directors circular that CanniMed Shareholders will tender to the Aurora New Offer. In addition to the foregoing, Aurora will receive customary non-solicitation protection and a right to match any competing proposal made to CanniMed and a break fee payable to Aurora in certain circumstances, together with customary representations and warranties. In addition to the locked-up shareholders certain CanniMed shareholders representing approximately 15% of the issued shares of CanniMed, including Brent Zettl, Chief Executive Officer, have agreed to support the New Offer.

The New Offer and the transaction are subject to customary closing conditions, including Canadian Competition Act Approval.

Correction of an Immaterial Error

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company completed a review of its inventory and biological asset model (“Model”), including the estimates and assumptions within the Model. During this review, Management identified an immaterial error that impacted 2016 and years prior to 2016. Specifically, opening Inventories and Biological assets in 2016 were overstated by $1.6 million. In addition, in conjunction with this review, a related immaterial tax error was also identified and corrected. Accordingly, the Company recorded an adjustment to opening retained earnings for fiscal 2016. As a result, the Company has restated the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive loss and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for fiscal 2016, as reported in the Company’s audited annual financial statements for 2017, and for the quarterly results of fiscal 2017, noted below, to correct the error.

Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), following the same accounting policies and methods of application as those used in preparing the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2017. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2017 annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 16, 2018.

Details of the Company’s accounting policies, including future changes, are included in Notes 4 and 5.

Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for biological assets and certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is CanniMed’s functional and presentation currency. The subsidiary located in the United States of America has a U.S. dollar functional currency and the subsidiaries located in Canada have a Canadian dollar functional currency.

Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements incorporate the accounts of CanniMed and entities controlled by it. Control exists when CanniMed has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that currently are exercisable are taken into account. The accounts of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Specifically, income and expenses of the subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognized in the profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary interest. All amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

At January 31, 2018, the Company had the following wholly-owned subsidiary corporations: Prairie Plant Systems Inc. (operating in Canada), CanniMed Ltd. (operating in Canada), SubTerra (operating in the US), 10420484 Canada Inc. (a holding company operating in Canada) and CanniMed International Ltd. (a holding company incorporated in Canada).

Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

4.

Significant accounting policies

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared, except as noted below (Note 5), using accounting policies consistent with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended October 31, 2017. The accounting policies utilized by Management for the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, unless otherwise indicated.

5.

Accounting standards

Changes in Accounting Policies

The Company has adopted the following new standards, along with any consequential amendments, effective November 1, 2017. These changes were made in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions.

IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows

As part of their disclosure initiative, the IASB has issued amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows requiring a reconciliation of liabilities arising from financing activities to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate both cash flow and non-cash changes in the net debt of a Company. The amendments to IAS 7 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted these amendments in its financial statements for the year beginning on November 1, 2017. The amendments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

IAS 12 Income Taxes

In January 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 to provide clarification on the requirements relating to the recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealized losses on debt instruments measured at fair value. Adoption of the amendments to IAS 12 is required for the annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted these amendments in its financial statements for the year beginning on November 1, 2017. The amendments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Future Changes in Accounting Policies

These are the changes that the Company reasonably expects will have an impact on its disclosures, financial position or performance when applied at a future date. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, IFRS 15 was issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) which provides a comprehensive framework for recognition, measurement, and disclosure of revenue from contracts with customers, excluding contracts within the scope of the standards on leases, insurance contracts and financial instruments. IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early application permitted. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt the guidance. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of IFRS 15.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 was issued by 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. Two measurement categories continue to exist to account for financial liabilities in IFRS 9, fair value through profit or loss and amortized cost. Financial liabilities held-for-trading are measured at fair value through profit or loss, and all other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost unless the fair value option is applied. The treatment of embedded derivatives under the new standard is consistent with IAS 39 and is applied to financial liabilities and non-derivative hosts not within the scope of the standard. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of IFRS 9.

IFRS 16 Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, which specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize 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 recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 as an adjustment to opening equity at the date of initial application. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of IFRS 16.

IFRS 2 Share-Based Payment

In June 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2. These amendments provide clarification on how to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions. The amendments are effective for the annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The extent of the impact of the adoption of the amendments has not yet been determined.

6.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements:

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires Management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and 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 year in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected.

Valuation of biological assets and inventories

Biological assets consisting of cannabis plants are measured at fair value less costs to sell up to the point of harvest.

Determination of the fair values of the biological assets requires the Company to make assumptions about how market participants assign fair values to these assets. These assumptions primarily relate to the level of effort required to bring the cannabis plants up to the point of harvest, costs to convert the harvested plants to finished goods, sales price, risk of loss, expected remaining future yields for the plants, and estimating values during the growth cycle.

The valuation of biological assets at the point of harvest is the cost basis for all cannabis based inventory and thus any critical estimates and judgements related to the valuation of biological assets are also applicable for inventory. The valuation of work in process and finished goods also requires the estimate of conversion costs incurred, which become part of the carrying amount for the inventory. The Company must also determine if the cost of any inventory exceeds its net realizable value, such as cases where prices have decreased, or inventory has spoiled or has otherwise been damaged. See Note 9 for additional information with respect to the estimates contained within biological assets.

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

Amortization of property, plant and equipment and finite-life intangible assets are dependent upon estimates of useful lives, which are determined through the exercise of judgement. 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.

Impairment of goodwill, intangibles and long-lived assets

Determining whether impairment relating to goodwill, intangibles and long-lived assets exists requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of cash generating units (“CGUs”). Determining a CGU’s recoverable amount requires the determination of the higher of the value in use of the CGU and the fair value less cost to sell of the CGU. The determination of the recoverable amount requires the Company to estimate future cash flows, discount rates and salvage values, as applicable.

Convertible debenture receivable and associated financial instruments

Management is required to make many estimates when determining the valuation of its convertible debenture receivable. The valuation of the convertible debenture receivable, and the associated conversion feature and warrants (which comprise the Derivative asset on the Statement of Financial Position), requires the use of option pricing models that involve various estimates and assumptions.

Share-based compensation

In calculating the share-based compensation expense, key estimates such as the value of the common shares, the rate of forfeiture of options granted, the expected life of the option and the risk-free interest rate are used.

Warrants

In calculating the value of the warrants, key estimates such as the value of the common shares and the risk-free interest rate are used.

Taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with tax planning strategies.

Marketable securities and Convertible debenture


(a)

Marketable securities

During 2017, a subsidiary of CanniMed purchased a secured convertible debenture (the “Debenture”) in the principal amount of $4.0 million from Newstrike Resources Ltd. (TSXV: HIP, “Newstrike”). On January 24, 2018, the Debenture was converted into 10,958,904 common shares of Newstrike at a conversion price of $0.365 per common share. At January 31, 2018, the Company had 10,958,904 common shares of Newstrike with a value of $13.9 million (October 31, 2017 – NA).

    JAN 31,     OCT 31,  
    2018     2017  
             
Conversion from convertible debenture receivable (Note 7(b)) $  1,003   $  -  
Transfer from derivative assets (Note 7(c))   15,106     -  
Marketable securities, inception value   16,109     -  
Mark to market loss   (2,191 )      
Marketable securities, end of period $  13,918   $  -  

The change in the fair value of the Company’s Marketable securities from the date of conversion to January 31, 2018 was a decrease of $2.1 million (Year ended October 31, 2017 - $nil). This loss has been recorded in the Statement of Operations.

Conversion Feature of Debenture

The fair value of the conversion feature was calculated as follows:

    JAN 24,     OCT 31,  
    2018     2017  
             
Fair value of conversion feature, beginning of period $  1,771   $  1,573  
Mark to market derivative gain   13,335     198  
Transfer to Marketable securities (Note 7(a))   (15,106 )   -  
Fair value of conversion feature, end of period $  -   $  1,771  

Warrants

The fair value of Newstrike warrants was calculated as follows:

    JAN 31,     OCT 31,  
    2018     2017  
             
Fair value of warrants, beginning of period $  1,627   $  1,452  
Mark to market derivative gain   10,201     175  
Total derivative asset, end of period $  11,828   $  1,627  

The change in the fair value of the warrants resulted in a decrease in the Company’s net loss, due to an increase of $10.2 million in the fair value for the three months ended January 31, 2018 (Year ended October 31, 2017 – increase of $0.2 million).

Black-Scholes Assumptions (Warrants)

The fair value of the conversion feature and common share purchase warrants were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model under the following assumptions:

    JAN 31,     OCT 31,  
    2018     2017  
Expected dividend yield (%)   0%     0%

Convertible debenture payable

During the first quarter of 2017, $11.3 million of the Company’s convertible debentures were converted to equity. These conversions resulted in a loss on derivative instruments of $2.4 million attributable to the increased value of the embedded derivative liability relating to the conversion to equity option contained within the convertible debentures. This option expired at the end of the first quarter of 2017.

All plants are harvested for the sale of consumable product and take approximately fourteen to sixteen weeks to grow prior to harvest.

The significant assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value of biological assets are as follows:

  wastage of plants based on their various stages of biological transformation;
  fair value less cost to sell at the point of harvest;
  amounts of depreciation and overhead incurred and allocated to biological assets.

There were no existing claims or regulatory matters against the Company that could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements as at January 31, 2018 or October 31, 2017. The Company is occasionally named as a party in various claims and legal proceedings that arise during the normal course of its business. The Company reviews each of these claims, including the nature of the claim, the amount in dispute or claimed, and the availability of insurance coverage. There can be no assurance that any particular claim will be resolved in the Company’s favor or that such claims may not have a material effect on the Company. Inquiries from regulatory bodies may also arise in the normal course of business, to which the Company responds as required.

The weighted average market share price at the date of exercise for stock options exercised during the period ended January 31, 2018 was $20.55.

For stock options outstanding at January 31, 2018, the range of exercise prices, the weighted average exercise price and the weighted average remaining contractual life are as follows:

    Options Outstanding           Options Exercisable (Vested)  
                                     
                Weighted                 Weighted

    517,862     1.49   $ 5.33     517,862     1.49   $ 5.33  

The foregoing options have expiry dates ranging from October 31, 2018 to September 8, 2022. During the first quarter of 2018, in conjunction with the proposed acquisition of CanniMed by Aurora, CanniMed’s Board of Directors approved a resolution that accelerated the vesting of all unvested stock options, making them fully exercisable by the holders.

There were no stock options granted during the first quarter of 2018. The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 2017 was $3.30 and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with assumptions of a 5.0 year weighted average expected option life, a five percent expected forfeiture rate, 44 percent volatility and an interest rate 1.6 percent.

Share-based compensation for the three months ended January 31, 2018 was $0.4 million (Q1 2017 - $0.4 million).

The expected volatility used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model is based on this historical volatility of the Company’s shares over the weighted average expected option life.

Subsequent to January 31, 2018, a total of 0.5 million stock options have been exercised.

Earnings (loss) per share

Earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017 was calculated based on the following:

Continuing operations

For the three months ended January 31,   2018     2017  
             
Net earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders $  5,324   $  (3,880 )
             
Weighted average shares outstanding (basic)   24,109     16,909  
Dilutive effect of stock options and warrants   424     -  
Weighted average shares outstanding (diluted)   24,533     16,909  
Earnings (loss) per share (basic) $  0.22   $  (0.23 )
Earnings (loss) per share (diluted) $  0.22   $  (0.23 )

Included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the period ended January 31, 2018 were stock options and warrants outstanding on 0.4 million common shares with an average exercise price less than the average market price of the Company’s common shares.

For the three months ended January 31, 2017, there was no effect of applying the treasury-stock method to the weighted average number of shares outstanding as all of the stock options and warrants outstanding were anti-dilutive.

Non-core asset sale

Subsequent to January 31, 2018 (Note 19), as a result of the acquisition of CanniMed by Aurora, an agreement was reached by the Company to sell certain non-core assets to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. These assets consist of:

  certain assets relating to its fruit tree business.

Proceeds from the sale will total $1.0 million. At January 31, 2018, the net carrying value of these assets was $2.4 million; as such, this transaction will result in a loss on sale.

17.

Financial risk management and financial instruments

The Company is exposed to various risks through its financial instruments, as follows:

Capital Management

The Company manages its capital to provide sufficient liquidity for it operating and growth activities. In order to achieve this objective the Company prepares annual budgets and capital requirements to manage its capital structure. The capital structure of the Company consists of loans and borrowings (Note 10) and equity, comprised of issued capital stock, share-based payments, accumulated and other comprehensive income and retained earnings.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily for trade receivables and convertible debenture receivable) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and derivatives.

The Company does not hold any collateral as security but mitigates this risk by dealing only with what management believes to be financially sound counterparties and, accordingly, does not anticipate significant loss for non-performance. The exposure on trade receivables is minimal since the majority of the amount noted is due from government agencies or insurers. There is no material exposure to credit risk on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable or convertible debenture receivable on the statement of financial position.

Liquidity

The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on the collection of accounts receivable and the raising of funds to meet commitments and sustain operations. The Company controls liquidity risk by management of working capital, cash flows and the issuance of share capital. The Company has access to lines of credit with available borrowings of $1.5 million at January 31, 2018 and cash and cash equivalents totaling $42.3 million (October 31, 2017 - $48.4 million). Other than the scheduled principal payments of debt, the principal payments / commitments of the Company have not materially changed since those disclosed within the consolidated financial statements as at October 31, 2017.

Market

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk.

Page 19

For the three months ended January 31, 2018
Expressed in Thousands of Canadian Dollars, except share data or as otherwise noted
 

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings that arise from fluctuations of foreign exchange rates, specifically the U.S. Dollar. Currency risk arises as a result of the Company's investment in SubTerra. Management believes this risk is reduced by the fact that this U.S. subsidiary operates in a politically and economically stable foreign country. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency changes is considered to be not material.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the loans and borrowings obligations with floating interest rates. The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to fix its exposure to variable interest rates on approximately one half of its long-term debt. In addition, the Company has a convertible debenture receivable with a fixed interest rate.

Categories of financial instruments

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 that 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.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 and 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

Level 1 inputs are from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 inputs are the unobservable inputs for assets and liabilities.

The following table provides information with respect to financial instruments held as at:

Description of the Transaction

On November 13, 2017, Aurora Cannabis Inc. (“Aurora” or the “Company”) submitted a proposal to the board of directors of CanniMed Therapeutics Inc. (“CanniMed”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of CanniMed (the “Acquisition”), a licensed producer and distributor of medical cannabis pursuant to the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”). CanniMed is involved in plant biotechnology research, product development and the production of plant-based materials for biopharmaceutical, agricultural and environmental market applications. CanniMed’s and Aurora’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “CMED” and “ACB”, respectively.

On January 24, 2018, the Company and CanniMed entered into a support agreement whereby the Board of Directors (the “CanniMed Board”) and the Special Committee of the CanniMed Board agreed to support a new offer (the “New Offer”) made by Aurora for the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding CanniMed common shares not owned by Aurora.

Pursuant to the New Offer, Aurora will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of CanniMed on the basis that each CanniMed shareholder has the right to elect to receive for each CanniMed share (i) 3.40 common shares of Aurora; (ii) $0.43 in cash; or (iii) any combination of cash and shares subject to pro-ration with a maximum aggregate cash consideration of $140,000. The exchange ratio represents a maximum of $43.00 per share and a premium of 181% over the closing price of CanniMed shares on November 14, 2017, the day prior to Aurora’s announcement of its intention to pursue a combination with CanniMed.

On March 15, 2018 Aurora acquired approximately 84.4% of CanniMed’s common shares pursuant to the New Offer. On March 26, 2018, Aurora acquired an additional 8.7% of CanniMed’s common shares will acquire the remaining outstanding shares not tendered to the New Offer through a compulsory share acquisition pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act. CanniMed shareholders will have the opportunity to receive the same consideration in the subsequent acquisition transaction as they were entitled to receive from the New Offer. Aurora previously held 2.8% of  CanniMed’s common shares purchased in the open market.

Basis of Presentation (Continued)

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Aurora as at and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, the audited consolidated financial statements of Aurora for the year ended June 30, 2017, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of CanniMed for the three months ended January 31, 2018, and the audited consolidated financial statements of CanniMed for the year ended October 31, 2017.

The pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017 and for the six months ended December 31, 2017 of CanniMed has been constructed using the audited consolidated financial statements of CanniMed for the twelve months ended October 31, 2017, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended January 31, 2018, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of CanniMed for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, the audited consolidated financial statements of CanniMed for the year ended October 31, 2016 and the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of CanniMed for the nine months ended July 31, 2016.

The unaudited pro forma interim consolidated statement of financial position gives effect to the acquisition of CanniMed as if it had occurred on December 31, 2017. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and the twelve months ended June 30, 2017 give effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred at July 1, 2016.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are consistent with those described in the audited consolidated financial statements of Aurora for the year ended June 30, 2017. There were no adjustments necessary to align CanniMed’s accounting policies with Aurora’s accounting policies. Certain historical CanniMed amounts have been reclassified to conform to Aurora’s presentation.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisition of CanniMed been effected on the dates indicated, nor are the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements indicative of future periods. Actual amounts recorded upon consummation of the acquisition will differ from such unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. Since the pro forma consolidated financial statements have been developed to retroactively show the effect of a transaction that is expected to complete at a later date, there are limitations inherent in the very nature of such pro forma data.

Pro forma Consolidation Adjustments

The unaudited pro forma interim consolidated statement of financial position of Aurora as at December 31, 2017 has been adjusted as if the acquisition of CanniMed had been completed on December 31, 2017:

  (a)

The Acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination under IFRS 3. The estimated fair value of net assets acquired were adjusted for the write down of certain receivables and the disposition of CanniMed’s SubTerra division, Fruit Tree business and certain plant-based protein research for an estimated total consideration of $1,027 which has been recorded as accounts receivable. The carrying values of the disposed assets at January 31, 2018 were deconsolidated and the remaining 19.9% interest in SubTerra and the investment in plant-based protein research were recorded to investment in associates. The estimated fair value of net assets acquired and consideration paid for 100% ownership of CanniMed is allocated as follows:


                  Adjusted  
      Jan 31, 2018     Adjustment     Jan 31, 2018  
    $   $   $  
  Cash and cash equivalents   42,321     (340 )   41,981

  Loans and borrowings – current   2,563     -     2,563  
  Loans and borrowings – long term   9,725     (310 )   9,415  
  Deferred income tax liabilities   2,943     -     2,943  
  Total liabilities   26,076     (397 )   25,679  
                     
  Net assets acquired   98,178     (6,243 )   91,935  
                     
  Consideration paid               860,463  
                     
  Goodwill               768,528  

On March 15, 2018 Aurora acquired approximately 84.4% of CanniMed’s common shares pursuant to the NewOffer. On March 26, 2018, Aurora acquired an additional 8.7% of CanniMed’s common shares. In addition to the 2.8% of CanniMed shares purchased by Aurora on the open market, the Company increased its total shareholdings in CanniMed to approximately 95.9% and will acquire the remaining outstanding shares through a compulsory share acquisition. The total estimated consideration of $860,463 is comprised of the issuance of approximately 72,412,940 shares at $9.60 per share, being the fair value of Aurora’s shares on December 31, 2017 based on a combination of cash and shares at the election of each CanniMed Shareholder, a payment of the maximum aggregate cash consideration of $140,000, the $15,799 fair value of 700,600 CanniMed shares purchased by Aurora in the open market, and a $9,500 cash payment for CanniMed’s Newstrike Resources Ltd termination fee.

As of December 31, 2017, Aurora held 450,000 CanniMed shares purchased in the open market at a cost of $10,172 and recognized an unrealized loss on marketable securities of $24 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017. In January 2018, the Company purchased an additional 250,600 CanniMed shares in the open market at a cost of $5,973. Based on the fair value of $22.55 per CanniMed share on December 31, 2017, the Company adjusted $346 for the cumulative unrealized loss on CanniMed marketable securities in the pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

3.

Pro forma Consolidation Adjustments (Continued)

In accordance with IFRS 3, the fair value of equity securities issued as part of the consideration transferred will be measured on the closing date of the acquisition at the then-current market price. Accordingly, it is likely that Aurora’s share price used to determine purchase consideration on closing of the acquisition will differ from the share price used in the estimate of purchase consideration, and that difference may be material. Aurora’s historical share price volatility was approximately 67%. Accordingly, it is reasonable to expect that Aurora’s share price on closing of the Acquisition may differ from the common share price used in these financial statements by an amount up to at least this share price volatility. A change in Aurora’s share price of 67% results in an increase or decrease to the estimate of purchase consideration totaling approximately $465,239, with a corresponding increase or decrease to goodwill.

The pro forma purchase price is subject to change based on the finalization of purchase price adjustments and completion of management’s assessment of the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired. Due to the timing of the announcement of the Acquisition, Aurora has not yet obtained sufficient information to accurately determine the fair market value of CanniMed’s net assets by category and has therefore allocated the January 31, 2018 book values of the net assets acquired as a proxy of fair value, except for the elimination of CanniMed’s historical goodwill of $492. Goodwill represents the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the book value, being a proxy of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final calculation and allocation of the purchase price will be based on the net assets purchased as of the closing date of the Acquisition and other information available at that time. There may be material differences from this pro forma purchase price allocation as a result of finalizing the valuation. Based on management’s preliminary estimates, the goodwill may be allocated to other items such as certain identified intangible assets, including customer lists, licenses, patents and a deferred tax asset.

As a result of the Acquisition, CanniMed’s equity accounts were eliminated on the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position and the pro forma interim consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

  (b)

Estimated acquisition related costs of approximately $9,000 consisting of investment banker, legal and accounting fees to be expensed on completion of the Acquisition. These costs have been recorded in deficit of the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2017 and reflected in the pro forma consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2017.

     
 

Additional transaction costs of approximately $31,000 for investment bankers, legal, consulting and bonuses incurred by CanniMed prior to acquisition were accrued on the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position.

     
  (c)

Estimated share issuance costs of approximately $220 consisting of regulatory and transfer agent fees related to the issuance of shares for the Acquisition have been recorded against share capital on the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position.
