INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

To the Shareholders of Grown Rogue International Inc.

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Grown Rogue International Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at October 31, 2019, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in equity holders’ deficit and cash flow for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at October 31, 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flow for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

 

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

 

We draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements, which describes events or conditions that indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

 

Other Matter

 

The financial statements of the Company for the years ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on February 28, 2019.

 

Other Information

 

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

 

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

 

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

 

 

 

 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

 

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Company’s internal control.

 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

 

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is David Goertz.

For the Years Ended October 31, 2019 and 2018

Expressed in United States Dollars

 

 

1.Nature of Operations and Going Concern

 

Grown Rogue International Inc. (the “Company”), formerly “Novicius Corp.”, was amalgamated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on November 30, 2009 (the “Company”). The Company’s registered office is located at 340 Richmond Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 1X2. The Company’s common shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol GRIN.

 

These consolidated financial statements for the years ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, include the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries Grown Rogue Canada Corp. (“GRC”), and Grown Rogue Unlimited, LLC (“GR Unlimited”) and GR Unlimited’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries in which it has a controlling interest (collectively referred to as the “Subsidiaries”). GR Unlimited’s wholly-owned subsidiaries include Grown Rogue Gardens, LLC; Grown Rogue Distribution, LLC; GRU Properties, LLC; and GRIP, LLC. GR Unlimited also has 60% ownership interests in GRD Cali, LLC and Idalia, LLC.

 

Grown Rogue Gardens, LLC is engaged in cannabis cultivation activities. Grown Rogue Distribution, LLC is engaged in wholesale activities; GRU Properties, LLC is engaged in real estate activities; and GRIP, LLC is engaged in intellectual property activities.

 

These consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of the business.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, but not limited to, its ability to raise financing necessary to discharge its liabilities as they become due and generate positive cash flows from operations. During the year ended October 31, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $9,476,934 (2018 - $7,509,986) and as of that date, the Company’s deficit was $17,112,605 (2018 - $7,812,383). As at October 31, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,709,527 (2018 - $451,545). These aforementioned conditions have resulted in material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and to meet its obligations will be dependent upon successful sales of product and generating positive cash flows from operations as well as obtaining suitable financing. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the going concern assumption is not used then the adjustments required to report the Company’s assets and liabilities at liquidation values could be material to these consolidated financial statements.

2.Reverse Takeover

 

The Company entered into a definitive transaction agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) dated October 31, 2018 with GR Unlimited and Grown Rogue Canada Inc. (“Grown Rogue Canada”) and Novicius Acquisition Corp. (“Novicius Subco”) which resulted, through a series of transactions, in the acquisition of all of the equity interests of GR Unlimited and Grown Rogue Canada by the Company (the “Transaction”), such that, immediately following completion of the Transaction on November 15, 2018, approximately 86% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company were owned by the former unitholders of GR Unlimited. Prior to close of the Transaction the Company completed a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of 1.4 pre-consolidated common shares for 1 post-consolidated common share. Upon close of the Transaction, the Company issued, in aggregate, 60,746,202 common shares to the GR Unlimited unitholders for all of the outstanding units of GR Unlimited, 100,000 common shares to a director of Grown Rogue Canada and 839,790 common shares to former debtholders of the Company. Holders of warrants and convertible debentures of GR Unlimited and Grown Rogue Canada exchanged such securities for warrants and convertible debentures, with substantially the same terms, of the Company on a one for one basis.

 

The Transaction constituted a reverse takeover of the Company by the shareholders of GR Unlimited but did not meet the definition of a business combination under IFRS 3. As such, the Transaction is accounted for under IFRS 2, where the difference between the consideration given to acquire the Company and the net asset value of the Company is recorded as a transaction expense. Since GR Unlimited is deemed to be the accounting acquirer for accounting purposes, these financial statements present the historical financial information of GR Unlimited up to the date of the Transaction.

 

The allocation of the consideration transferred is as follows:

 

3,773,689 shares at a price of CAD$0.315 per share  $900,403 
Net assets (liabilities) of the Company acquired    (604,107)
Transaction costs  $1,504,510 

 

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred by the existing equity holders of GR Unlimited is based on the number of shares of the combined entity that are held by the existing shareholders of the Company. The fair value of the consideration was based on the private placement transactions entered into by GR Unlimited.

 

Upon completion of the Transaction, the former shareholder of Grown Rogue Canada controlled less than 1% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (not including holders of subscription receipts of Grown Rogue Canada). For accounting purposes, the Company has been identified as the acquirer and Grown Rogue Canada the acquired company. Since Grown Rogue Canada’s operations do not constitute a business, this transaction has been accounted for as a share-based payment. As such, Grown Rogue Canada’s balances are accounted for at fair value, with the balance of the purchase price in excess of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities of Grown Rogue Canada accounted for as transaction costs. Grown Rogue Canada’s historical share capital, deficit and contributed surplus have been eliminated.

2.Business Acquisition (continued)

 

The allocation of the consideration transferred is as follows:

 

100,000 common shares at a price of CAD$0.315 per share  $23,860 
Fair value of warrants of the Company issued (note 15vii)   893,646 
Total consideration transferred   917,506 
Net assets of Grown Rogue Canada acquired   61,447 
Transaction costs  $856,059 

 

In addition to the costs mentioned above, the Company incurred cash transaction costs of $1,093,221.

 

3.Basis of Presentation

 

a)Statement of Compliance

 

The Company’s 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 approved and authorized for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 19, 2020.

 

b)Basis of Measurement

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments and biological assets, which are measured at fair value as described herein.

 

c)Functional and Presentation Currency

 

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and the functional currency of its Subsidiaries is the United States (“U.S.”) dollar. These consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.

 

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency using exchange rates in effect at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. All exchange gains and losses are included in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company are expressed in U.S. Dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive loss and reported as currency translation reserve in shareholders’ equity.

3.Basis of Presentation (continued)

 

c)Functional and Presentation Currency (continued)

 

Foreign exchange gains or losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future and which, in substance, is considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation, are recognized in other comprehensive loss.

 

d)Basis of Consolidation

 

The Subsidiaries are controlled by the Company, as the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the Subsidiaries and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the Subsidiaries by way of its ownership of all of the issued and outstanding common shares. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in these consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date control ceases. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

4.Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Judgements

 

a)Revenue

 

Revenue from the sale of cannabis is recognized when the Company transfers control of the good to the customer. Control of the product transfers at a point in time either upon shipment to or receipt by the customer, depending on the contractual terms. The Company recognizes revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive taking into account any variation that may result from rights of return. The pattern and timing of revenue recognition under the new standard is consistent with prior year practice. There were no adjustments recognized on the adoption of IFRS 15 in the year ended October 31, 2019.

 

b)Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Harvested cannabis included in inventory is recognized at the fair value of the biological asset at the point of harvest, which becomes the deemed cost. Any subsequent post-harvest costs are capitalized to inventory to the extent that the cost is less than net realizable value. Manufactured inventory and work-in-progress includes an allocation of production overhead, which is based on normal operating capacity. The Company reviews inventories for obsolete, redundant and slow moving goods and any such inventories identified are written down to net realizable value.

 

c)Cost of goods sold

 

Cost of goods sold includes the cost of finished goods inventory sold during the year, as well as inventory write-downs during the year.

4.Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Judgements (continued)

 

d)Biological assets

 

The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants. The Company capitalizes all the direct and indirect costs as incurred related to the biological transformation of the biological assets between the point of initial recognition and the point of harvest. Subsequent to harvest, the recognized biological asset amount becomes the cost basis of finished goods inventory. Seeds are measured at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in fair value less costs to sell during the period are included in the consolidated results of operations of the appropriate year.

 

e)Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

 

Liabilities are recognized for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether billed by the supplier or not. Provisions are recognized when the Company has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, and the costs to settle this obligation are both probable and able to be reliably measured.

 

f)Related Party Transactions

 

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are members of key management, subject to common control, or can exert significant influence over the company. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

 

g)Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Costs include borrowing costs for assets that require a substantial period of time to become ready for use.

 

Amortization is recognized so as to recognize the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. Amortization begins when an asset is available for use, meaning that it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be used in the manner intended by management. The estimated useful lives, residual values and method of amortization are reviewed at each period end, with the effect of any changes in estimated useful lives and residual values accounted for on a prospective basis.

 

As at October 31, 2019, the Company was in the process of completing construction of its warehouse facility in order to expand its cultivation and wholesale activities. The Company has capitalized the costs incurred to date on the construction-in-process asset, as the assets were not available for use as intended by management as at October 31, 2019, amortization expense was not recorded.

4.Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Judgements (continued)

 

g)Property and Equipment (continued)

 

Amortization is calculated applying the following useful lives:

 

Furniture and fixtures 7 - 10 years on a straight line basis
Computer and office equipment 3 - 5 years on a straight line basis
Production equipment and other 5 - 10 years on a straight line basis
Leasehold improvements 15 - 40 months on a straight line basis

 

The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount, being the higher of their fair value less costs of disposal and their value in use. Fair value is the price at which the asset could be bought or sold in an orderly transaction between market participants. In assessing value in use, the estimated cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

 

h)Leased Assets

 

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased asset are transferred to the Company. Leased assets are measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of fair value and present value of minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to the asset.

 

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

 

i)Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. The useful life of intangible assets is assessed as either finite or indefinite. Following the initial recognition, intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. If impairment indicators are present, these assets are subject to an impairment review. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets of two to three years.

j)Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

For all long-lived assets, except for intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use, the Company reviews its carrying amount at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. Where such impairment exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss.

 

An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

 

Impairment losses may be reversed in a subsequent period where the impairment no longer exists or has decreased. The carrying amount after a reversal must not exceed the carrying amount (net of depreciation) that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized. A reversal of impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

 

k)Deferred transaction costs

 

Deferred transaction costs represents professional fees incurred with respect to a contemplated transaction that is to be completed in a future period. The transaction costs will be recognized in profit and loss in the period in which the transaction is completed.

l)Unit/ Share Based Compensation

 

Unit/ Share Based Payment Transactions

 

Transactions with non-employees that are settled in equity instruments of the Company are measured at the fair value of the goods or services rendered. In situations where the fair value of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be reliably measured, transactions are measured at fair value of the equity instruments granted. The fair value of the share based payments is recognized together with a corresponding increase in equity over a period that services are provided or goods are received.

 

Equity Settled Transactions

 

The costs of equity settled transactions with employees are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date on which they are granted, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

The costs of equity settled transactions are recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (“the vesting date”). The cumulative cost is recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The profit or loss charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and the corresponding amount is represented in contributed surplus. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest.

 

The dilutive effect of outstanding options, if any, is reflected as additional dilution in the computation of loss per unit / share.

 

Unit/ Share Issuance Costs

 

Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of members’ equity are netted against the proceeds received net of tax. Costs related to the issuance of members’ equity and incurred prior to issuance are recorded as deferred members’ equity issuance costs and subsequently netted against proceeds when they are received.

 

m)Member’s Capital

 

Member’s capital consists of common units, which are classified as equity on the statements of financial position. Incremental costs attributable directly to the issuance of member’s capital are recognized as deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

n)Income Taxes

 

No provision for federal or state income taxes is included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the tax effects of GR Unlimited’s income or loss for the period from inception to December 31, 2017 were passed on to the Members. Effective January 1, 2018, Grown Rogue Gardens, LLC and Grown Rogue Distribution, LLC elected to be taxed as corporations. Following the Transaction, GR Unlimited also elected to be taxed as a corporation. As such, these three entities will follow the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities on the statement of financial position and their corresponding tax value, using the substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when these temporary differences are reversed. Deferred income tax assets are recorded to recognize tax benefits only to the extent that, based on available evidence, it is probable that they will be realized. Income tax expense is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity.

 

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences except when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

 

o)Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The most significant judgments include those related to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, the determination of when property and equipment are available for use, and impairment of its financial and non-financial assets. The most significant estimates and assumptions include those related to the valuation of biological assets, the collectability of accounts receivable, the useful lives of property and equipment, inputs used in accounting the determination of the discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the liability component of convertible promissory notes, the inputs used in the estimate of the fair value of unit-based and share-based compensation, the inputs and valuation methodologies used to estimate the fair value of derivative liabilities and the inputs used in the estimate of the fair value of the unit purchase options and warrants issued. In calculating the value of biological assets and inventory, the Company’s management is required to make a number of estimates including the following: the stage of growth of cannabis compared to point of harvest; yield of saleable flower produced at harvest date; and selling price at harvest date. In calculating inventory values, management is required to determine an estimate of the obsolete inventory and compare the inventory cost to estimated net realizable value.

p)Newly Adopted Accounting Policies

 

The Company adopted the following accounting policies as of November 1, 2018:

 

Financial Instruments

 

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, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). The classification is based on two criteria: the Company’s business objectives for managing the assets; and whether the financial instruments’ contractual cash flows represent “solely payments of principal and interest” on the principal amount outstanding (the “SPPI test”). Financial assets are required to be reclassified only when the business model under which they are managed has changed. All reclassifications are to be applied prospectively from the reclassification date. Financial liabilities are classified in a similar manner as under IAS 39.

 

The assessment of the Company’s business models for managing its financial assets was made as of the date of initial application of November 1, 2018 or on initial recognition. The assessment of whether contractual cash flows on debt investments meet the SPPI test was made based on the facts and circumstances as at the initial recognition of the financial assets.

 

i) Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities

 

Financial assets

 

Initial Recognition

 

The Company initially recognizes financial assets at fair value on the date that the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 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.

   Financial assets (continued)

 

Classification and measurement

 

Under IFRS 9, financial assets are initially measured at fair value. In the case of a financial asset not categorized as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), transaction costs are included. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in net income (loss).

 

Subsequent classification and measurement of financial assets depends on the Company’s business objective for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset:

 

i.Amortized cost – Financial assets held for collection of contractual cash flows that meet the SPPI test are measured at amortized cost. Interest income is recognized as Other income (expense) in the consolidated financial statements, and gains/losses are recognized in net income (loss) when the asset is derecognized or impaired.
   
ii.Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) – Financial assets held to achieve a particular business objective other than short-term trading are designated at FVOCI. IFRS 9 also provides the ability to make an irrevocable election at initial recognition of a financial asset, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, to designate an equity investment that would otherwise be classified as FVTPL and that is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration arising from a business combination to be classified as FVOCI. There is no recycling of gains or losses through net income (loss). Upon derecognition of the asset, accumulated gains or losses are transferred from Other comprehensive income (“OCI”) directly to Deficit.

 

iii.FVTPL – Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL.

 

Financial liabilities

 

The Company initially recognizes financial liabilities at fair value on the date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities is determined based on their classification as follows:

 

i.FVTPL – Derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that do not meet hedge accounting criteria are classified as FVTPL. Gains or losses on these types of financial liabilities are recognized in net income (loss).

 

ii.Amortized cost – All other financial liabilities are classified as amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in net income (loss) when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the amortization process.

p)Newly Adopted Accounting Policies (continued)

 

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

 

Asset/Liability   Classification under IAS 39   Classification under IFRS 9
Accounts receivable, net   Loans and receivables   Amortized cost
Other receivables   Loans and receivables   Amortized cost
Cash and cash equivalents   Loans and receivables   Amortized cost
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   Other liabilities at amortized cost   Amortized cost
Finance lease payable   Other liabilities at amortized cost   Amortized cost
Convertible promissory notes   Other liabilities at amortized cost   Amortized cost
Long-term debt   Other liabilities at amortized cost   Amortized cost
Interest payable   Other liabilities at amortized cost   Amortized cost
Convertible debentures   Other liabilities at amortized cost   Amortized cost
Due to employee/ director   Other liabilities at amortized cost   Amortized cost
Derivative liabilities   FVTPL   FVTPL

 

ii)Impairment

 

IFRS 9 introduces a three-stage expected credit loss (“ECL”) model for determining impairment of financial assets. The expected credit loss model does not require the occurrence of a triggering event before an entity recognizes credit losses. IFRS 9 requires an entity to recognize expected credit losses upon initial recognition of a financial asset and to update the quantum of expected credit losses at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes to credit risk of the financial asset. The adoption of the ECL model did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the loss allowance for the financial asset is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured for the financial asset at an amount equal to twelve month expected credit losses. For trade receivables the Company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses, which allows the use of a lifetime expected loss provision. Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized.

4.Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Judgements (continued)

 

p)Newly Adopted Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Share-based Payments (Amendments to IFRS 2)

 

In June 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2 that clarify how to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions.

 

The amendments provide requirements related to 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
the effect of a modification of 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 as of November 1, 2018 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Revenue

 

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“IFRS 15”) replaced all preexisting guidance, including, but not limited to IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, and IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate in IFRS related to revenue. IFRS 15 contains a single control based model (the “model”) that applies to contracts with customers and allows entities to recognize revenue at a point in time or overtime. The model consists of a 5 step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much, and when revenue is recognized. IFRS 15 also includes additional requirements for revenue accounted for under the standard. Adoption of IFRS 15 as of November 1, 2018 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

q)Future Accounting Pronouncements

 

IFRS 16 Leases (“Leases”) was issued in January 2016 and replaces IAS 17 Leases. Under IAS 17, lessees were required to make a distinction between a finance lease and an operating lease. If the lease was classified as a finance lease, a lease liability was included on the statement of financial position. IFRS 16 now requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and lease liability reflecting future lease payments for virtually all lease contracts. The right of use asset is treated similarly to other non-financial assets and depreciated accordingly. The lease liability accrues interest. The IASB has included an optional exemption for certain short term leases and leases of low value assets; however, this exemption can only be applied by lessees. Under IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is conveyed where the customer has both the right to direct the identified asset’s use and obtain substantially all the economic benefits from that use. IFRS 16 will be effective for the Company’s year ended October 31, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact adopting IFRS 16 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

5.Biological Assets

 

Biological assets consists of cannabis seeds and cannabis plants. The reconciliation of changes in the carrying amounts of biological assets as at October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018 are as follows:

 

Balance - October 31, 2017  $10,436 
Add: Purchased cannabis plants   521,949 
Change in fair value less costs to sell due to biological transformation   541,352 
Transferred to inventory upon harvest   (924,120)
Balance - October 31, 2018   149,617 
Add: Purchased cannabis plants   308,324 
Change in fair value less costs to sell due to biological transformation   486,354 
Allocation of operational overhead   438,859 
Transferred to inventory upon harvest   (1,226,565)
Balance - October 31, 2019  $156,589 

 

When determining the fair value of biological assets, the Company makes estimates and uses assumptions as follows:

 

Expected costs required to grow the cannabis up to the point of harvest

 

Estimated selling price per Kg

 

Expected yield from the cannabis plants

 

Estimated stage of growth – The Company applied a weighted average number of days out of the 60 day growing cycle that biological assets have reached as of the measurement date based on historical evidence. The Company assigns fair value basis according to the stage of growth and estimated costs to complete cultivation.

 

The estimates and assumptions used are subject to volatility in uncontrollable market conditions, may significantly impact the fair value of biological assets. Biological assets represent a level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy. The following table quantifies each significant unobservable input and provides the impact of a 20% increase or decrease that each input would have on the fair value of biological assets:

11.Convertible Promissory Notes (continued)

 

During the period ended October 31, 2018, the Company issued the following unsecured convertible promissory notes:

 

i)Effective November 7, 2017, GR Unlimited entered into an agreement with the Company’s Marketing Consultant (the “Consultant”) whereby the Consultant purchased a convertible promissory note for the total principal of $300,000 with simple interest accrued at a rate of 50%. Accrued interest shall be paid in monthly installments of $12,500 until maturity. A balloon interest payment of $15,000 was due to the Consultant on day 180 and has been accrued as of April 30, 2018. The note, which includes any unpaid principal and accrued interest, unless converted in accordance with provisions stated in the agreement shall be due and payable on the earlier of the following: (a) 12 months from the effective date of the note; or (b) the occurrence of a change of control of GR Unlimited. The note does not have a prepayment option under the agreement, unless agreed to in writing by the purchaser.

 

At any time prior to the maturity of the agreement, the Consultant has the right to convert all (but not less than all) of the outstanding principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest into the number of fully paid and non-assessable common units of GR Unlimited at a price per unit equal to the applicable conversion price calculated immediately before the closing of a going public event or qualified transaction.

 

The conversion price represents an amount equal to the applicable conversion valuation divided by the number of units outstanding at the time of conversion. The Conversion valuation represents the following a) $15,000,000 if the holder converts the note within 6 months of the effective date of the note and b) $18,000,000 if the holder converts the note after 6 months of the effective date of the note, but prior to the note’s maturity. On June 1, 2018, the principle of $300,000 was converted into 285.70 common units of GR Unlimited (1,585,714 common shares of the Company) as described in note 13(viii).

 

ii)Effective November 14, 2017, GR Unlimited entered into an agreement with certain purchasers (collectively the “Purchasers” and individually the “Purchaser”), to issue a series of notes with substantially similar terms, including maturity, interest rates, and conversion terms. Under the agreements, the Purchasers purchased convertible promissory notes with aggregate principal of $550,000. The notes accrue simple interest as follows:

 

a)Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal at an annual rate of 50% calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days.

 

b)Should the Purchasers extend the maturity date due to a Public Event prior to the end of the period, the Purchaser has the right to extend the Maturity date by up to 3 months after the consummation of the Public Event at an annual rate of 0% following the initial period. A Public Event means a transaction or other action that causes GR Unlimited’s membership units or securities for which such membership units are exchanged or substituted, to become publicly traded on a United States or Canadian stock exchange through which GR Unlimited (or its publicly held parent entity) raises aggregate proceeds net of any costs of not less than $5,000,000 (excluding these convertible promissory notes and the principal and accrued interest under any other promissory notes that are convertible into equity securities of GR Unlimited.

ii)(continued)

 

c)Should purchasers extend the Maturity Date by 6 months on all but not less than all of the then-outstanding principal; provided, however GR Unlimited shall pay Holder all principal not so extended, and all accrued but unpaid interest at the end of the initial period at an annual rate of 30% calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days.

 

d)Should the Purchaser extend the maturity date of this note by 18 months on not less than $10,000 of the then-outstanding principal and unpaid interest accrued under the Note at the end of the initial period; provided, however GR Unlimited shall pay Purchaser all principal and/or interest for which the maturity date is not so extended at an annual rate of 20% calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days.

 

The notes, which includes any unpaid principal and accrued interest, unless converted in accordance with provisions stated in the agreement shall be due and payable on the earlier of the following: (a) the date on which the initial period ends (the Maturity Date) unless the Maturity Date is extended by Purchaser by 3, 6, or 18 months after the Public Event. The notes may not be prepaid, in whole or in part, prior to the Maturity Date without the prior written consent of a majority of the Purchasers.

 

If at any time prior to the maturity of the notes a qualified equity financing occurs, each Purchaser has the right to convert not less than $10,000 of the outstanding principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest into the number of fully paid and non-assessable common membership units of GR Unlimited at a price per unit equal to the applicable conversion price. If the Purchaser has extended the maturity date and the qualified equity financing occurs during the 18 months following the initial period, the Purchaser shall have the obligation to convert all of the outstanding principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest into the number of fully paid and non-assessable common membership until of GR Unlimited at a price per unit equal to the applicable conversion price. The conversion price represents the following:

 

a)In the event of a qualified equity financing, the lower of (i) the valuation cap divided by issued and outstanding share count immediately prior to the qualified equity financing, or (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the price per unit paid in cash by purchasers of New Units issued in such qualified equity financing; provided, however, that such percentage shall decline by two percent (2%) for each month an event of default occurs and is continuing after the end of the initial period, up to a maximum of ten percent (10%) (e.g., if such an event of default continues for five months, the conversion price under this paragraph (a) will be a price equal to seventy (70%) of the applicable price set forth in clause (ii) above); or

 

b)In the event of a public event the lower of (i) the valuation cap divided by the issued and outstanding share count immediately prior to the public event, or (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the price per unit paid in cash by purchasers of new units issued in such Public Event; provided, however, that such percentage shall decline by two percent (2%) for each month an event of default occurs and is continuing after the end of the Initial Period, up to a maximum of ten percent (10%) (e.g., if such an event of default continues for five months, the conversion Price under this paragraph (b) will be a price equal to seventy (70%) of the applicable price set forth in clause (ii) above); or

(i)During the year ended October 31, 2019, the Company issued secured convertible debentures with aggregate principal of CAD$1,500,000 ($1,105,127). The convertible debentures bear interest at 2% quarterly payable on the last day of March, June, September, and December. The convertible debentures mature on August 10, 2020. The debentures will be secured by a general security agreement granting a security interest in the Company’s property and assets. The debentures can be converted by the holder into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of CAD$0.44 per share. If at any time while the debentures are outstanding, the Company issues securities at a price per security lower than CAD$0.44 per share, the conversion price for any unconverted portion of the convertible debentures will be reduced to such lower price per security. If within 90 days of the issuance of the convertible debentures, the Company fails to complete a Qualified Financing of not less than CAD$1,000,000, the conversion price of the convertible debentures will be adjusted to CAD$0.30. If any common shares of the company are issued or sold for a price less than $0.44 per common share the conversion price will be adjusted downward to the price of such issuance. The adjustment to the conversion price is considered a derivative as it changes in relation to the share price of the Company and does not meet the fixed for fixed criteria. In connection with the issuance of the convertible debentures, the Company paid issuance costs of $47,975. The Company also issued 3,409,091 warrants to the convertible debenture holders, as described in note 15(vi), the fair value of was estimated to be $Nil. Of the total debt issuance costs of $47,975, $10,165 has been allocated to the derivative liability and included as expenses in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

GR Unlimited has allocated the proceeds from the issuance of the convertible debentures as follows:

 

Convertible debentures, principal  $872,202 
Derivative liability   232,925 
   $1,105,127 

 

The fair value of the derivative liability was calculated by way of a Monte Carlo simulation which utilized Geometric Brownian Motion to simulate share prices over the term of the convertible debenture. Estimates included in the Monte Carlo simulation included a market interest rate of 20% and share price volatility of 126.9%. The estimated fair value of the derivative liability upon initial recognition was estimated to be CAD$316,151 ($232,925).

12.Convertible Debentures (continued)

 

(i)(continued)

 

As at October 31, 2019, the Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liability using the same methodologies as described above and an estimated market interest rate of 20% and a share price volatility of 105.4%. As at October 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the derivative liability was CAD$164,053 ($124,660), and the change in the fair value since initial recognition of $121,811 has been included as income in the Company’s statement of loss and comprehensive loss. As at October 31, 2019, if the volatility, or discount rate used was increased by 10%, the impact would be an increase to the derivative of $5,000, with a corresponding increase to loss.

 

(ii) During the period ended October 31, 2018, GR Unlimited issued a series of secured convertible debentures with aggregate principal of CAD$1,500,000 ($1,141,060). This series of convertible debentures bear interest at 2% quarterly payable on the last day of March, June, September, and December. The convertible debentures mature twenty four months from the effective date of the agreement or December 1, 2018 if a change in ownership has not occurred. The debentures are secured by a general security agreement granting a security interest in all of GR Unlimited’s property and assets. The debentures can be converted by the holder into common units of GR Unlimited at a conversion price of CAD$0.44 per share. In the event of a default, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to CAD$0.05 per share. In connection with the issuance of the convertible debentures, GR Unlimited incurred issuance costs of $111,746.

 

GR Unlimited has allocated the proceeds from the issuance of the convertible debentures as follows:

 

Convertible debentures, principal  $1,009,060 
Conversion option   132,000 
   $1,141,060 

 

The value of the conversion option was calculated by subtracting the net present value of the debenture from the face value of the convertible debentures. The net present value of the debenture was calculated using a discount rate of 15% over a period of 24 months.

 

Upon close of the Transaction, these debentures were replaced by convertible debentures of the Company with similar terms.

 

As at October 31, 2019, the Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liability by way of a Monte Carlo simulation which utilized Geometric Brownian Motion to simulate share prices over the term of the convertible debenture. Estimates included in the Monte Carlo simulation included a market interest rate of 20% and share price volatility of 105.4%. As at October 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the derivative liability was CAD$164,053 ($124,660). As at October 31, 2019, if the volatility, or discount rate used was increased by 10%, the impact would be an increase to the derivative of $5,000, with a corresponding increase to loss.

17.Unit Purchase Options (continued)

 

iii)During the year ended October 31, 2018, GR Unlimited granted an option to purchase 2,000,000 common units of GR Unlimited for an aggregate amount of CAD$40,000 at any point prior to December 31, 2018. The exercise of the option is contingent upon the optionee having invested a minimum of CAD$1,050,000 of cash in securities of another party.

The fair value of the option of $639,259 was expensed as a finance charge expense during the year ended October 31, 2018 and was estimated at the grant date based on the Black-Scholes pricing model, using the following assumptions:

 

Expected dividend yield   Nil% 
Risk-free interest rate   1.710%
Expected life   2.0 years 
Expected volatility   100%*

 

*Based on the volatility of comparable publicly traded companies

Effective income tax rate (%)   27.25    27.60    27.60 
Expected income tax recovery  $(2,582,166)  $(2,072,756)  $(83,462)
Loss (income) related to entities taxed as partnerships   -    1,648,189    83,462

18.Income Taxes (continued)

 

ii)Deferred Taxes

 

The temporary differences that give rise to deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are presented below:

 

   2019   2018 
Deferred Tax Assets          
Start up costs  $299,259    200,231 
Inventory   24,349    48,498 
Biological asset fair value adjustment   -    (149,955)
Net operating loss carry-forwards   2,307,529    335,701 
Share issuance costs   10,226    - 
Transaction costs   331,164    - 
Allowance for doubtful accounts   -    29,485 
    2,972,527    463,960 
           
Deferred taxes not recognized   (2,972,527)   (463,960)
Net deferred tax assets  $-   $- 

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities result primarily from amounts not deductible for accounting purposes until future periods. Deferred income tax assets result primarily from operating tax loss carry forwards and have been offset against deferred income tax liabilities.

 

As the Company operates in the cannabis industry, it is subject to the limits of United States Internal Revenue Code Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under United States Internal Revenue Code Section 280E.

 

Federal and Oregon tax laws impose restrictions on net operating loss carryforwards in the event of a change in ownership of the Company, as defined by the United States Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company does not believe that a change in ownership, as defined by United States Internal Revenue Code Section 382, has occurred but a formal study has not been completed.

23.Financial Instruments

 

Market Risk

 

i)Currency Risk

 

As at October 31, 2019, the Company has accounts payable of CAD$564,663, accrued liabilities of CAD$100,435 and convertible debentures of CAD$3,000,000. The Company is exposed to the risk of fluctuation in the rate of exchange between the Canadian Dollar and the United States Dollar. It is management’s opinion that this risk is not material.

 

ii)Interest Rate Risk

 

At October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018, the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates to long-term debt, convertible promissory notes, and finance lease obligations, but its interest rate risk is limited as the aforementioned financial instruments are fixed interest rate instruments.

 

iii)Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is derived from cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash in deposit with United States financial institutions. The Company has established a policy to mitigate the risk of loss related to granting customer credit.

 

The carrying amount of cash and trade accounts receivable represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk, which amounted to $174,114 (October 31, 2018 - $1,079,551) as at October 31, 2019. The allowance for doubtful accounts at October 31, 2019 is $129,131 (October 31, 2018 - $106,443).

 

As at October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018, the Company’s trade accounts receivable were aged as follows:

 

   October 31,
2019
   October 31,
2018
 
Current  $51,672   $129,157 
1-30 days   500    114,821 
31 days- older   176,147    115,373 
Allowance for doubtful accounts   (129,131)   (106,443)
   $99,188   $252,908

iii)Credit Risk (continued)

 

The change in the provision for expected credit losses is as follows:

 

   October 31,
2019
   October 31,
2018
 
Balance, beginning of year  $106,443   $- 
Additional allowance   121,793    111,528 
Amounts collected   (66,902)     
Amounts used   (32,203)   (5,085)
Balance, end of year  $129,131   $106,443 

 

iv)Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its current obligations as they become due. The majority of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities are payable in less than 90 days. The Company prepares annual budgets and monitors expenditures to manage short-term liquidity. Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, funding for long-term liquidity needs is dependent on the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing through various means, including equity financing. At October 31, 2019, the Company has current assets of $1,432,962 (October 31, 2018 - $2,869,694) and current liabilities of $4,142,489 (October 31, 2018 - $3,321,239), which resulted in working deficit of $2,709,527 (October 31, 2018 - working capital deficit of $451,545). At October 31, 2019 the Company had cash of $74,926.

 

The contractual maturities of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible promissory notes, long-term debt, and finance lease payable occurs over the next three years as follows:

 

   Year 1   Years 2 - 3 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities  $1,526,855   $180,799 
Current portion of long-term debt   150,000    - 
Convertible debentures   1,995,609    - 
Unearned revenue   35,000    - 
Interest payable   55,829    - 
Deferred rent   -    24,505 
Finance leases payable   129,876    12,329 
Derivative liabilities   249,320    - 
   $4,142,489   $217,633 

 

v)Fair Values

 

The carrying amounts for the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to employee/director, promissory notes and convertible promissory notes approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these items.

vi)Fair Value Hierarchy

 

A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair valued for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company has an established framework, which includes team members who have overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values. When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. The Company regularly assesses significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

 

Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; or

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

The carrying values of the financial instruments at October 31, 2019 are summarized in the following table:

 

Financial Assets  Amortized cost   FVTPL   Total 
             
Cash and cash equivalents  $74,926   $-   $74,926 
Accounts receivable, net   99,188    -    99,188 
Other receivable   35,235    -    35,235 
                
Financial Liabilities               
                
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities  $1,707,654   $-   $1,707,654 
Finance lease payable   142,205    -    142,205 
Convertible debentures   1,995,609    -    1,995,609 
Short-term debt   150,000    -    150,000 
Interest payable   55,829    -    55,829 
Derivative liabilities   -    249,320    249,320 

 

During the period ended October 31, 2019 there were no transfers of amounts between levels.
