High Tide Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022

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

1.

Nature of Operations

High Tide Inc. (the “Company” or “High Tide”) is a retail-focused cannabis company enhanced by the manufacturing and distribution of consumption accessories. The Company’s shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “HITI”(listed as of June 2, 2021), the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol “HITI”, and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FSE”) under the securities identification code ‘WKN: A2PBPS’ and the ticker symbol “2LYA”. The address of the Company’s corporate and registered office is # 120 – 4954 Richard Road SW, Calgary, Alberta T3E 6L1.

High Tide does not engage in any U.S. cannabis-related activities as defined by the Canadian Securities Administrators Staff Notice 51-352.

2. Basis of Preparation

A.Statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). They are condensed as they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended October 31, 2022 which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on June 14, 2023.

B.Basis of measurement

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for liability warrants and certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently by the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries for the periods presented.

C.Currencies and Foreign Exchange

The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company and its Canadian subsidiaries. The functional currency of the Company’s United States (“U.S.”) subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar (“USD”), of the Company’s European subsidiaries is the Euro (“EUR”), and of the Company’s United Kingdom subsidiaries is the British Pound Sterling (“GBP”). Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated at the rate prevailing at the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate prevailing at each reporting date. Income and expense amounts are translated at the dates of the transactions.

In preparing the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries are translated into Canadian dollars. The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Canadian dollars using exchange rates at the reporting date. Revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars using average foreign exchange rates. Translation gains and losses resulting from the consolidation of operations into the Company’s functional currency, are recognized in other comprehensive income in the statement of loss and other comprehensive loss and as a separate component of shareholders’ equity on the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

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

D.Basis of Consolidation of Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by High Tide Inc. Control is achieved when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the consolidated financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Company. Intra‐group balances and transactions, and any unrealized gains or losses or income and expenses arising from intra‐group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

(i)On December 6, 2021 the Company announced that it established an at-the-market equity offering (“the ATM Program”) that allows the Company to issue up to $40,000 (or the equivalent in U.S. dollars) of common shares from treasury to the public from time to time at the Company’s discretion and subject to regulatory requirements. During the year ended October 31, 2022, a total of $8,807 has been raised through the program. During the period ended April 30, 2023 a total of $1,894 have been raise through the ATM program, with most of this amount raised between December 2022 and January 2023.  We have not issued any shares under the ATM since the end of the quarter.  
(ii)On July 22, 2022, the Company issued, on a bought-deal basis, 4,956,960 units at a price of $2.32 per unit. The Company closed the offering for total gross proceeds of $11,500. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $2.73 for a period of 60 months from the closing date of the offering. The shares were attributed a relative fair value of $6,768 and warrants were attributed a relative fair value of $4,732 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: fair value of common shares of $2.05; exercise price of options of $2.73; expected life of 5 years; 97% volatility; and a risk-free interest rate of 2.9%. The underwriters received a cash commission fee of 6% of gross proceeds and 3% of gross proceeds for the president’s list in cash because of conducting the bought deal financing.
(iii)As part of the acquisition of a subsidiary (Smoke Cartel) in 2021, the Company agreed to pay $1,319 if a certain revenue target is achieved. The contingent consideration was calculated using Monte Carlo simulation due to the uncertain nature of the future potential revenue of the Company. During the year ended October 31, 2022, the Company settled the contingent consideration to the previous shareholders of Smoke Cartel through the issuance of 500,000 common shares of the Company valued at $940. The Company recorded $2,211 as a gain on settlement.

On April 19, 2022, the directors of the Company approved the 2022 equity incentive plan of the Company (the “Omnibus Plan”), which was effective upon the Company receiving disinterested shareholder approval at the annual general meeting and special meetings of shareholders of the Company on June 2, 2022.  

The options that were granted during the period were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: fair value of common shares of $1.91; exercise price of options of $1.90; expected life of 2.37 years; 79% volatility; dividend yield of 0; and a risk-free interest rate of 3.99%. (2022: Fair value of common shares of $8.02; exercise price of options of $8.05; expected life of 2 years; 85% volatility; dividend yield of 0; and a risk-free interest rate of 2.6%)

The maximum number of common shares available and reserved for issuance, at anytime, under the Omnibus Plan, together with any other security-based compensation arrangements adopted by the Company, including the Predecessor Plans, has been fixed at 20% of the issued and outstanding common shares June 2, 2022. The maximum share options that can be issued is 12,617,734 Common Shares.

The Company’s previous stock option plan limited the number of common shares reserved under the plan from exceeding a “rolling maximum” of ten (10%) percent of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares from time to time.

The stock options vest at the discretion of the Board of Directors, upon grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. All options that are outstanding will expire upon maturity, or earlier, if the optionee ceases to be a director, officer, employee or consultant. The maximum exercise period of an option shall not exceed 10 years from the grant date. Changes in the number of stock options, with their weighted average exercise prices, are summarized below:

As at April 30, 2023, 46,418,572 warrants were exercisable, on a basis of 15 warrants for 1 common share.

(i)The Company issued 700,000 warrants which have been fair valued at $321 using the Black-Scholes models. The following assumptions were used: stock price of $2.43, expected life of one year, $nil dividends, volatility 100%, risk-free interest rate of 3.31%,  and exercise price of $4.98. The warrants will expire by June 21, 2023.
(ii)The Company issued 4,956,960 warrants which have been fair valued at $4,731 using the Black-Scholes. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company. Management has calculated the fair value of the warrants issued using the following assumptions: fair value of common shares $2.05; exercise price of options $2.73; expected life of five years, volatility 253% and a risk-free interest rate of 2.9%, and the fair value of shares issued using the active share price on the date of issuance.

22. Financial Instruments and Risk Management

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. The Company is exposed to credit, liquidity, and market risk due to holding certain financial instruments. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance.

Risk management is carried out by senior management in conjunction with the Board of Directors.

Fair value

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

-Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
-Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
-Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

The Company assessed that the fair values of cash, trade accounts receivable, loans receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value:

-Marketable securities are determined based on level 1 inputs, as the prices for the marketable securities are quoted in public exchanges.
-Derivative warrant liabilities are designated as FVTPL and are measured using level 2 inputs. The fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities are measured each reporting period with changes in the fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Assumptions used to calculate the fair value include stock price, volatility, and risk-free interest rate.
-Long-term fixed-rate notes receivables and loans payable are initially recorded at fair value and are evaluated by the Company based on level 2 inputs such as discounted future interest and principal payments using current market interest rates of  instruments using similar terms. These instruments are subsequently measured through amortized cost, through accretion and interest income recognized through the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

For the three and six months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022

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

-The Convertible debentures are evaluated by the Company based on level 2 inputs such as the effective interest rate and the market rates of comparable securities. The convertible debentures are initially measured at amortized cost and at each reporting period accretion incurred in the period is recorded to transaction costs in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
-The liabilities associated with the put options included in the acquisitions of FABCBD, Blessed and NuLeaf have been recorded at fair value based on level 3 inputs. The valuation model considers the present value of the future obligation using a multiple of forecasted trailing twelve month EBITDA for FABCBD and NuLeaf, and forecasted twelve month revenue for Blessed CBD, and a risk-adjusted discount rate for FABCBD, Blessed and NuLeaf. Significant unobservable inputs include expected cash flows and the risk adjusted interest rate. The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if the expected cash flows were higher (lower) or the risk adjusted interest rate were lower (higher).

Credit risk

Credit risk arises when a party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the counter party by failing to fulfill its obligation. Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, marketable securities and loans receivable. The credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents and restricted marketable securities balances is limited because the counterparties are large commercial banks. The amounts reported for accounts receivable in the statement of consolidated financial position is net of expected credit loss and the net carrying value represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. Accounts receivable credit exposure is minimized by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties and monitoring the age and balances outstanding on an ongoing basis. Sales to retail customers are required to be settled in cash or using major credit cards, mitigating credit risk.

The following table sets forth details of the aging profile of accounts receivable and the allowance for expected credit loss:

For the six months ended April 30, 2023, $500 (2022: $142) in trade receivables were written off against the loss allowance due to bad debts. Individual receivables which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. The remaining accounts receivable are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, and individual creditworthiness of the customer. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into account for the estimated losses of these receivables.

The Company performs a regular assessment of collectability of accounts receivables. In determining the expected credit loss amount, the Company considers the customer’s financial position, payment history and economic conditions.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company generally relies on funds generated from operations, equity, and debt financing to provide sufficient liquidity to meet budgeted operating requirements and to supply capital to expand its operations.

Historically the Company has been able to sustain its operations and meet liabilities as they come due through cash generated by operating results as well as equity financing where applicable. While no certainty can be obtained around future results, the Company anticipates that cash flows from operations, working capital, and other sources of financing will be sufficient to meet its debt repayments and other obligations as they come due.

Maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities are as follows:

    

Contractual cash flows

    

Less than one year

    

1-3 years

    

3-5 years

    

Greater than 5 years

Interest bearing loans and borrowings: On August 15, 2022, the Company entered into a $19,000 demand term loan with Connect First credit union (the "Credit Facility") with Tranche 1 ‐ $12,100 available in a single advance, and Tranche 2 ‐ $6,900 available in multiple draws subject to pre‐disbursement conditions set. The demand loan bears interest at the Credit Union’s prime lending rate plus 2.50% per annum and is set to mature on September 5, 2027. Although the maturity is in 2027, this liability has to be classified as a “Short Term” since the credit facility is repayable on demand.

Convertible debentures, the principal payments regarding the Convertible debentures are shown as currently agreed to.  However, the Company is in active discussions to amend the terms of the debenture which is expected to result in a longer period between principal payments.

The Company also has access to raise additional cash through the ATM program (Note 18).

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of 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 the market interest rate related primarily to the Company’s current credit facility with variable interest rates.

For the three and six months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022

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

At April 30, 2023, approximately 58% of the Company’s borrowings are at a fixed rate of interest (2022: 84%).

Assuming all other variables remain constant, a fluctuation of +/- 1.0 percent in the interest rate would impact the interest payment by approximately +/- $76.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is defined as the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company maintains cash balances and enters into transactions denominated in foreign currencies, which exposes the Company to fluctuating balances and cash flows due to variations in foreign exchange rates.

The Canadian dollar equivalent carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities as at April 30, 2023 was as follows:

Maintaining constant variables, a fluctuation of +/- 5.0 percent in the exchange rate between the EUR and the Canadian dollar would impact the carrying value of the net monetary assets by approximately +/- $21 (October 31, 2022 - $38), and a fluctuation of +/- 5.0 percent in the exchange rate between GBP and the Canadian dollar would impact the carrying value of the net monetary assets by approximately +/- $35 (October 31, 2022 - $42). To date, the Company has not entered into financial derivative contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

The Company’s objectives when managing capital resources are to:

The Company’s strategy is formulated to maintain a flexible capital structure consistent with the objectives stated above as well to respond to changes in economic conditions and to the risks inherent in its underlying assets.

The Company anticipates that it will have adequate liquidity to fund future working capital, commitments, and forecasted capital expenditures through a combination of cash flow, cash‐on‐hand and financings as required.
