Notes to Consolidated interim Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

For the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

 

 

1.

Reporting entity:

Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc. (the "Corporation" or "Neptune"), previously known as Neptune Technologies and Bioressources Inc. before September 21, 2018, is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Québec) (formerly Part 1A of the Companies Act (Québec)). The Corporation is domiciled in Canada and its registered office is located at 545 Promenade du Centropolis, Laval, Québec, H7T 0A3. The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation comprise the Corporation and its subsidiary, Biodroga Nutraceuticals Inc. ("Biodroga"). The comparative period includes operating results of Acasti Pharma Inc. ("Acasti") until the loss of control of the subsidiary on December 27, 2017. As at September 30, 2018, the investment in Acasti is presented in "Other asset" in the consolidated interim statement of financial position (refer to note 14 (a)). On August 7, 2017, Neptune exited bulk krill oil manufacturing and distribution activities (refer to note 4).

Neptune is a health and wellness products company, with more than 50 years of combined experience in extraction, purification and formulation of value-added, differentiated science-based products. Currently, the Corporation develops turnkey nutrition product solutions available in various unique delivery forms, offers specialty ingredients such as MaxSimil®, a patented ingredient that enhances the absorption of lipid-based nutraceuticals, and a variety of other marine and seed oils. Leveraging its scientific, technological and innovative expertise, Neptune is also preparing to commence production of products for legal cannabis markets.

2.

Basis of preparation:

 

(a)

Statement of compliance:

These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), on a basis consistent with those accounting policies followed by the Corporation in the most recent audited consolidated annual financial statements, except as otherwise disclosed in note 3. Certain information, in particular the accompanying notes, normally included in the consolidated annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, has been omitted or condensed. Accordingly, the consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements, and therefore, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2018.

The consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on November 13, 2018.

 

(b)

Basis of measurement:

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the following:

 

•

Share-based compensation transactions which are measured pursuant to IFRS 2, Share-Based Payment (note 11);

 

•

Financial asset which is measured at fair value (note 14 (a)(i)); and

 

•

Derivative hedging financial instrument which is measured at fair value (note 14 (a)(ii)).

Certain of the Corporation’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. In establishing fair value, the Corporation uses a fair value hierarchy based on levels as defined below:

 

•

Level 1: defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.

 

•

Level 2: defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.

 

•

Level 3: defined as inputs that are based on little or no little observable market data, therefore requiring entities to develop their own assumptions.

 

(c)

Functional and presentation currency:

These consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Corporation and its subsidiary’s functional currency.

For the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

 

 

 

(d)

Use of estimates and judgments:

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, 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 are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Corporation may undertake in the future. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements include the following:

 

•

Assessing the recognition of contingent liabilities, which requires judgment in evaluating whether there is a probable outflow of  economic benefits that will be required to settle matters subject to litigation (note 15);

 

•

Assessing if performance criteria on options and DSU will be achieved in measuring the stock-based compensation expense; and

 

•

Assessing the criteria for recognition of tax assets.

Assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year include the following:

 

•

Estimating the recoverable amount of non-financial assets.

3.

Significant accounting policies:

The accounting policies and basis of measurement applied in these consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Corporation in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018, except as disclosed below.

New standards and interpretations adopted during the six-month period ended September 30, 2018:

 

(a)

Financial instruments:

On July 24, 2014, the IASB issued the complete IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9 (2014)). It introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. Under IFRS 9 (2014), financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model in which they are held and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. The standard also introduces additional changes relating to financial liabilities and amends the impairment model by introducing a new “expected credit loss” model for calculating impairment. This standard replaces IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

The adoption of IFRS 9 has not had a significant effect on the Corporation’s accounting policies related to financial liabilities and derivative financial instruments. The impact of IFRS 9 on the classification and measurement of financial assets is set out below.

 

(i)

Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities

IFRS 9 largely retains the existing requirements in IAS 39 for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. However, it eliminates the previous IAS 39 categories for financial assets of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale.

Under IFRS 9, a financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows and its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. If both of these conditions are not met, a financial asset is measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the Corporation initially designates it at fair value through other comprehensive income or loss when some conditions are respected.

Some assessments have been made on the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed at the date of initial application.

(Unaudited)

 

For the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

 

 

 

(ii)

Impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 replaces the “incurred loss” model in IAS 39 with an “expected credit loss” model. The new impairment model applies to financial assets measured at amortized costs, contracts assets and debt investments at fair value through other comprehensive income or loss, but not to investments in equity instruments. Under IFRS 9, credit losses are recognized earlier than under IAS 39. The Corporation establishes an impairment loss allowance using an expected credit loss model, by considering past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. There was no material impact on the consolidated financial statements resulting from the adoption of an expected credit loss model.

The following table and the accompanying notes explain the original measurement categories under IAS 39 and the new measurement categories under IFRS 9 for each class of the Corporation’s financial assets as at March 31, 2018:

IFRS 9 requires the Corporation to record expected credit losses on all its trade receivables and other financial assets, either on a 12-month or lifetime basis. The Corporation considered reasonable and supportable information that were relevant and available without undue costs or effort, which includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Corporation’s historical experience and insurance. The Corporation determined that there was no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

(2)

IFRS 9 requires the Corporation to ensure that hedge accounting relationships are aligned with its risk management objectives and strategy and to apply a more qualitative and forward-looking approach to assessing hedge effectiveness. The hedging relationship designated under IAS 39 met the criteria for hedge accounting under IFRS 9 and is therefore regarded as continuing hedging relationship. The adoption of IFRS 9 had no impact on the Corporation’s hedge accounting.

 

(3)

On transition, the Corporation may irrevocably designate a financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income or loss. The Corporation chose to designate the investment in Acasti as an investment in an equity instrument measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss). Therefore, there is no impact to opening retained earnings for the change in fair value recorded last year because the change in fair value was already recorded in other comprehensive income. The change in fair value continues to be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and will never be reclassified to net income or loss.

 

(b)

Revenue:

On May 28, 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18, Revenue, among other standards. The standard contains a single model that applies to contracts with customers and two approaches to recognizing revenue: at a point in time or over time. The model features a contract-based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when, revenue is recognized. New estimates and judgmental thresholds have been introduced, which may affect the amount and/or timing of revenue recognized. The new standard applies to contracts with customers. It does not apply to insurance contracts, financial instruments or lease contracts, which fall in the scope of other IFRSs. The clarifications to IFRS 15 provide additional guidance with respect to the five-step analysis, transition, and the application of the Standard to licenses of intellectual property.

The Corporation’s normal business operations consist of offering turnkey solutions and selling krill oil. The accounting policy described in the Corporation’s 2018 annual consolidated financial statements states that all income relating to sale of goods is recognized as revenue on delivery when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. The Corporation considers delivery to have occurred upon shipment, or in some cases, upon reception by the customer. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.

Having completed the five-step analysis, the Corporation identified contracts with customers and performance obligation therein, determined transaction price and confirmed the appropriateness of its revenue recognition policy being at a point in time when control of the assets is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the goods, consistent with the practice under IAS 18. The adoption of IFRS 15 did not affect the Corporation’s cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities. Furthermore, the impact on the timing of revenue recognition was not material as the treatment is consistent under IFRS 15 and IAS 18.

IFRS 15 provides presentation and disclosure requirements, which are more detailed than under IAS 18. The disclosures are included in note 16. Effective April 1st, 2018, the Corporation adopted IFRS 15 using the cumulative effect transition method, with the effect of adopting this standard recognized on April 1st, 2018, the date of the initial application. Accordingly, the information presented for fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 has not been restated. It remains as previously reported under IAS 18.

Amendments to IFRS 2, Classification and Measurement of Share-Based Payment Transactions:

On June 20, 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2, Share-Based Payment, clarifying how to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions. The amendments provide requirements on the accounting for: the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments; share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations; and a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. Adoption of the amendments to IFRS 2 did not have material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated interim financial statements.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted:

A number of new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations, are not yet effective for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated interim financial statements.

 

(a)

Leases:

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases, which will replace IAS 17, Leases. The standard will require all leases of more than 12 months to be reported on a company’s statement of financial position as assets and liabilities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2019, and is available for early adoption. The Corporation intends to adopt IFRS 16 in its consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning on April 1, 2019. The Corporation is currently assessing the extent of the impact of adoption of the standard.

 

(b)

Income tax:

On June 7, 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation provides guidance on the accounting for current and deferred tax liabilities and assets in circumstances in which there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The Interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Earlier application is permitted.

The Interpretation requires an entity to:

 

•

Contemplate whether uncertain tax treatments should be considered separately, or together as a group, based on which approach provides better predictions of the resolution;

 

•

Reflect an uncertainty in the amount of income tax payable (recoverable) if it is probable that it will pay (or recover) an amount for the uncertainty; and

 

•

Measure a tax uncertainty based on the most likely amount or expected value depending on whichever method better predicts the amount payable (recoverable).

The Corporation intends to adopt the Interpretation in its consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning on April 1, 2019. The extent of the impact of adoption of the Interpretation has not yet been determined.

Exit of krill oil manufacturing and distribution activities:

On August 7, 2017, Neptune and Aker BioMarine Antarctic AS (“Aker”) concluded an agreement whereby Aker acquired Neptune’s intellectual property, list of customers and krill oil inventory for a cash consideration of $43,075,587 (US$34 million) paid at closing. Under this agreement, Neptune exits bulk krill oil manufacturing and distribution activities and Aker becomes exclusive krill oil supplier to Neptune’s solutions business.

The assets sold were included in the Nutraceutical segment. The disposal of the krill oil manufacturing and distribution activities allows the Corporation to accelerate its efforts to position the Corporation in attractive growth opportunities and product lines such as the medical and wellness cannabis oil extraction project, in line with its growth strategy. The krill oil manufacturing and distribution sales were respectively $0.8 million and $2.1 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and the gross margin on sales, excluding the impairment loss on inventories of $1.7 million, were respectively $0.4 million and $1.2 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2017.

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, Continued

(Unaudited)

 

For the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

 

 

14.

Financial instruments:

 

(a)

Financial instruments – carrying values and fair values:

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are the investment in Acasti and derivative swap agreement.

 

(i)

Investment in Acasti:

On December 27, 2017, the Corporation determined that it had lost de facto control of its subsidiary Acasti and therefore ceased consolidating Acasti and derecognized the assets and liabilities of its former subsidiary and the non-controlling interest in Acasti. The Corporation recognized its remaining investment in Acasti at the fair value as at that date. The Corporation has 5,064,694 common shares of Acasti. The fair value of the investment in Acasti was determined to be $8,611,618 or $1.70 per share as at September 30, 2018 ($6,585,740 or $1.30 per share as at March 31, 2018). This investment was measured using Acasti’s stock market price, a level 1 input. The change in fair value of the investment amounted to a gain of $4,710,166 and $2,025,878, respectively for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2018. These gains were recognized in other comprehensive income.

 

(ii)

Derivative swap agreement:

The Corporation uses interest rate swap agreement to lock-in a portion of its debt cost and reduce its exposure to the variability of interest rates by exchanging variable rate payments for fixed rate payments. The Corporation has designated its interest rate swap as cash flow hedge for which it uses hedge accounting. Details of the interest rate swap is as follows:

Dec. 27, 2018

 

$

The level 2 fair value determination of the interest rate swap is measured using a generally accepted valuation technique which is the discounted value of the difference between the value of the swap based on variable interest rates (estimated using the yield curve for anticipated interest rates) and the value of the swap based on the swap’s fixed interest rate. The Corporation’s and the counterparty’s credit risk is also taken into consideration in determining fair value. The interest rate swap is decreasing at the same proportion of the debt covered. The change in fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

An assumed 1% change in the interest rate would not have a material effect on the net loss.

The Corporation has determined that the carrying values of its short-term financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value given the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the short-term investment also approximates its fair value given the short-term maturity of the reinvested funds. For variable rate loans and borrowings, the fair value is considered to approximate the carrying amount.

The fair value of the fixed rate loans and borrowings is determined by discounting future cash flows using a rate that the Corporation could obtain for loans with similar terms, conditions and maturity dates. The fair value of these instruments approximates the carrying amounts and was measured using level 3 inputs.

15.

Commitments and contingencies:

 

(a)

Commitments:

 

(i)

As at September 30, 2016, Neptune has entered into an exclusive commercial agreement for a speciality ingredient. According to this agreement, Neptune has to pay royalties on sales. To maintain the exclusivity, Neptune must reach minimum annual volumes of sales for the duration of the agreement of 11 years with a corresponding total remaining amount of minimum royalties of $5,666,612 (US$4,390,000).

 

(ii)

In regards to the Phase 1 capital expenditures to convert the production facility for the extraction of cannabis oil, a total capital expenditure commitment of $191,825 remains as at September 30, 2018. Another capital expenditure of $4,800,000 was approved by the Board for Phase 2 capacity expansion. As at September 30, 2018, Neptune signed various capital expenditure contracts

related to this second investment amounting to $2,232,501 of which $528,881 is included in trade and other payable and $280,163 has been paid.

 

(iii)

As at September 30, 2018, the Corporation has signed agreements with various partners to execute research and development projects for a total remaining amount of $380,858.

 

(b)

Contingencies:

In the normal course of operations, the Corporation is involved in various claims and legal proceedings. The most significant of which are as follows:

 

(i)

A former CEO of the Corporation is claiming the payment of approximately $8,500,000 and the issuance of equity instruments as severance entitlements under his employment contract. The Corporation intends to vigorously defend against this claim. Neptune also filed an additional claim to recover certain amounts from this former officer.

 

(ii)

Under the terms of an agreement entered into with a corporation controlled by the former CEO of the Corporation, the Corporation should pay royalties of 1% of its krill oil revenues in semi-annual instalments, for an unlimited period. Neptune filed a motion challenging the validity of certain clauses of the agreement.

 

(iii)

The Corporation initiated arbitration against a krill oil customer that owed approximately $4,775,960 (US$3,700,000). The full amount of trade receivable has been written-off in February 2015. This customer is counterclaiming a sum in damages. During the quarter, the counterclaim amount was amended to $188 million (AUD$201 million). The Corporation intends to continue to pursue its claim for unpaid receivable and to vigorously defend against this amended counterclaim.

The outcome of these and various other claims and legal proceedings against the Corporation cannot be determined with certainty and is subject to future resolution, including the uncertainties of litigation. Based on currently available information, no additional provision has been recognised as of September 30, 2018.

16.

Operating segments:

In prior periods and until the loss of control of the subsidiary Acasti on December 27, 2017, the Corporation had two reportable segments which were the Corporation’s strategic business units, the nutraceutical and the cardiovascular segments. The nutraceutical segment that produces and commercializes nutraceutical products and turnkey solutions for primarly omega-3 softgel capsules and liquids, which includes the results of Biodroga, and the cannabis oil extraction project which began in October 2017 are the strategic business segments of the Corporation.

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. The cardiovascular results are presented until the loss of control. Performance is measured based on segment income (loss) from operating activities before corporate costs, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Corporation’s Chief Operating Decision Maker. Segment income (loss) from operating activities before corporate costs is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries. A new measure has been added during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2018, segment income (loss) from operating activities before corporate costs, in order to better reflect the performance of each segment that are reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The comparative period has been recast accordingly.

The Sherbrooke facility has been repurposed from the krill oil activities and will be used for the development of unique extractions targeted towards high potential growth segments such as the cannabis industry and therefore, is now presented under the cannabis segment information.
