Pronouncements that are not applicable or where it has been determined do not have a significant impact to the Company have been excluded herein.


  (i)

IFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosure

     
 

IFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosure, was amended to require additional disclosures on transition from IAS 39 to IFRS 9. IFRS 7 is effective on adoption of IFRS 9, which is effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is assessing the impact of this amendment on its consolidated financial statements.

     
  (ii)

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments

     
 

In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, which reflects all phases of the financial instruments project and replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted. The Company is assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

     
  (iii)

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

     
 

The IASB replaced IAS 18 Revenue, in its entirety with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. 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. IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early application permitted.

     
 

The Company intends to adopt IFRS 15 on July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach where the cumulative impact of adoption will be recognized in retained earnings as of July 1, 2018 and comparatives will not be restated.

     
 

The Company has conducted a preliminary assessment of the impact from this new standard. Under IFRS 15, revenue from the sale of medicinal cannabis would be recognized at a point in time when control over the goods have been transferred to the customer. The Company transfers control and satisfies its performance obligation upon delivery and acceptance by the customer, which is consistent with the Company’s current revenue recognition policy under IAS 18.

Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


  (e)

Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)

Referral revenue earned from Licensed Producers through CanvasRx would be recognized over a period of time as the referred patients remain active with the Licensed Producers. This is consistent with the Company’s current revenue recognition policy under IAS 18 where revenue is recognized on a monthly basis over a specified period of time that the referred patient remains an active purchaser of medical cannabis with the Licensed Producer.

Based on the Company’s preliminary assessment, the adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

  (iii)

IFRS 16 Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases, which will replace IAS 17 Leases. This standard introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than twelve months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The standard will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier application permitted for entities that apply IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers at or before the date of initial adoption of IFRS 16. The Company is assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Investments (Continued)


  (a)

Convertibledebenture

ACE signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Radient Technologies Inc. (“Radient”) dated December 13, 2016, to evaluate an exclusive partnership for the joint development and commercialization of standardized cannabinoid extracts.

Pursuant to the terms of the MOU, on February 13, 2017, the Company purchased a $2,000 unsecured 10% convertible debenture of Radient, convertible into units at $0.14 per unit. Each unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant, with each warrant exercisable into one common share at a price of $0.33 per share expiring February 13, 2019. The debenture had a term of 2 years, was receivable on demand during the first 5 months following issuance, and was subject to a mandatory conversion if, after 5 months from the date of issuance, (i) the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Radient’s shares is equal to or greater than $0.40 for 10 consecutive days; or the Company and Radient enter into an exclusivity, licensing, service or similar agreement. The Company received a financing commission of $40.

The Company recognized an unrealized gain on the debenture at inception of $12,564 which was being amortized over two years. The fair value of the debenture at inception was estimated by measuring the fair value of the shares receivable on conversion at a quoted market price of $0.61 and the warrants receivable on conversion using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 0.75%; dividend yield of 0%; stock price volatility of 102.52%; and an expected life of 2 years.

During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company received 104,167 units of Radient for its interest payment of $50 (Note 4(b)(iii)).

On July 28, 2017, the Company received 14,285,714 common shares and 14,285,714 warrants of Radient pursuant to the mandatory conversion of the debenture related to the VWAP mentioned above. Additionally, the Company received 77,540 units of Radient for its final interest payment of $41 (Note 4(b)(iii)).

On conversion, the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $830 on the debentures and fully amortized the inception gain of $6,107 on the shares. The inception gain related to the warrants continues to be amortized in derivatives (Note 4 (b)(iii)). The fair value of the debenture on conversion was estimated by measuring the fair value of the shares at a quoted market price of $0.53 and the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.31%; dividend yield of 0%; stock price volatility of 91.53%; and an expected life of 1.57 years.

  (b)

Marketable securities and derivatives


  (i)

On March 9, 2017, the Company purchased 2,777,800 units of Radient at a price of $0.45 per unit for a total cost of $1,250. Each unit consisted of one common share and one-half of a share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable into one common share of Radient at a price of $0.70 per share expiring March 9, 2019.

     
 

At inception, the Company recognized an unrealized gain on marketable securities of $1,334 and an unrealized gain on derivatives of $380 related to the warrant component which is being amortized over 2 years. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized inception gain on derivatives of $48.

     
 

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized unrealized gains on changes in fair values of marketable securities of $195 (2016 - $nil) and derivatives of $11 (2016 - $nil).

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized aggregate unrealized gains on the changes in fair value of these marketable securities of $438 (2016 - $nil) and derivatives of $241 (2016 - $nil). At September 30, 2017, the fair value of the shares of $8,000 was based on a quoted market price of $0.56 and the fair value of the warrants of $4,568 was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.51%; dividend yield of 0%; stock price volatility of 91.37%; and an expected life of 1.39 years.

Biological Assets

The Company’s biological assets consist of seeds and cannabis plants. The changes in the carrying value of biological assets are as follows:

     $  
         
  Balance at June 30, 2016   1,845  
  Changes in fair value less cost to sell due to biological transformation   22,772  
  Transferred to inventory upon harvest   (20,529 )
  Balance at June 30, 2017   4,088  
  Changes in fair value less cost to sell due to biological transformation   9,577  
  Transferred to inventory upon harvest   (7,582 )
  Balance at September 30, 2017   6,083  

The significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of biological assets include:

  (a)

Expected yield by plant;

  (b)

Wastage of plants;

  (c)

Duration of the production cycle;

  (d)

Percentage of costs incurred as of this date compared to the total costs expected to be incurred;

  (e)

Percentage of costs incurred for each stage of plant growth; and

  (f)

Market values.

As of September 30, 2017, it is expected that the Company’s biological assets will yield approximately 801,729 grams (June 30, 2017 – 599,245 grams) of medical cannabis when harvested. The Company’s estimates are, by their nature, subject to change and differences from the anticipated yield will be reflected in the gain or loss on biological assets in future periods.

Investment in a Joint Venture

On April 7, 2015, ACI entered into a Limited Liability Partnership Agreement with AJR Builders Group LLC and formed Australis Holdings LLP (“AHL”), a Washington Limited Liability Partnership. Each of ACI and AJR holds a 50% interest in AHL.

AHL purchased two parcels of land totaling approximately 24.5 acres (the “Property”) in Whatcom county, Washington for USD$2,300 in 2015, with the initial intention to construct a new cannabis production and processing facility. The Company subsequently decided not to move forward with US cannabis production and listed the land for sale.

Pursuant to a promissory note dated April 10, 2015, the Company through ACI loaned $1,645 to AHL to fund the purchase of the Property. The note bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum and matures on October 31, 2017. In the event of a default, interest will be charged at 12% per annum. The note is secured by a first mortgage on one parcel of the Property and a second mortgage on the other title as well as a general security agreement granting ACI security over all present and after acquired property of AHL. The parties are negotiating to extend the term of the loan.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company accrued interest of $10 (2016 - $10) related to this loan.

Included in loans receivable are advances of $385 to AHL. The advances are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment.

The following table summarizes the financial information of AHL:

Acquisitions


  (a)

CanvasRx

On August 17, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of CanvasRx pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated August 9, 2016, as amended and restated on August 16, 2016 (the “Acquisition”) for a total consideration of $37,127. CanvasRx is a counseling and outreach service provider with over 24 physical locations in the provinces of Ontario and Alberta, Canada. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination.

     $  
  Consideration      
   Cash paid at closing   1,575  
   Performance milestones achieved related to patients      
               17,875,000 common shares issued   11,440  
               Cash paid   1,575  
   Loan to CanvasRx   450  
   CanvasRx transaction expenses   250  
   Other liabilities assumed   18  
   Contingent consideration (1)   21,819  
      37,127  

(1) Contingent consideration represents the discounted amount estimated to be paid out over a 20-month period on achievement of future performance milestones related to new counseling rooms opened, patient accruals and revenue targets.

This consideration may be satisfied, at the Company’s sole discretion, in cash or common shares at a 15% discount to the market price at the date of issuance, unless the market price of the Company’s share is $0.47 or below, at which point the consideration is convertible into a fixed number of shares. In any case, the issuance of the Company’s shares should not result in former CanvasRx shareholders accumulating 50% or more of the Company’s shares. If the consideration payments cannot be satisfied in cash and the issuance of shares would result in the former shareholders of CanvasRx accumulating 50% or more of the Company’s shares, a convertible debenture will be issued.

During the year ended June 30, 2017, certain patient and counselling room performance milestones were achieved, and the Company paid $2,608 and issued 2,926,103 shares at $2.074 per share to the former shareholders of CanvasRx.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued 3,178,177 shares at $2.135 per share for patient, counselling rooms and revenue milestones achieved.

Subsequent to September 30, 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,838,116 shares at $2.65 per share for patient, counselling rooms and revenue milestones achieved.

All common shares issued were accounted for at fair value at the dates of issuance.

Share-basedCompensation(Continued)


  (a)

Stock options (continued)

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded aggregate share-based payments of $2,475 (2016 - $380) for all stock options granted and vested during the period.

The fair value of stock options granted during the period was determined using the following weighted average assumptions at the time of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

      2017     2016  
  Risk-Free Annual Interest Rate   1.43 %     0.52%  
  Expected Annual Dividend Yield   0%     0%  
  Expected Stock Price Volatility   75.73%     87.0%  
  Expected Life of Options   2.96 years     2.64 years  
  Forfeiture rate   5%     5%  

Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of the Company and other companies that the Company considers comparable that have trading history and volatility history. The expected life in years represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on Canada government bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $1.35 (2016 - $0.68) per option. As at September 30, 2017, stock options outstanding have a weighted average remaining contractual life of 4.24 years.

  (b)

Restricted Share Units (RSUs)

On September 25, 2017, the Company adopted a restricted share unit (“RSU”) plan for directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company (“Participants”). Under the terms of the plan, RSU’s are issued to Participants and the shares issued vest over a period of up to three years from the date of grant. Each RSU gives the Participant the right to receive one common share of the Company. The Company has reserved 10,000,000 common shares for issuance under this plan. The fair market value of each RSU granted is calculated on the date of grant based on the closing price of the Company’s shares on the date prior to the grant, and recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

On September 29, 2017, the Company granted 2,127,128 RSUs to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company, of which 127,128 relate to fiscal 2017 and vest immediately. The rest of the RSUs vest annually.

                  Weighted Average  
  RSUs Outstanding   RSUs Vested     Expiry     Price per Share  
                 $  
  127,128   127,128     -     2.76  
  525,000   -     September 29, 2018     2.76

  2,127,128   127,128           2.76  

The RSU Plan and RSU grants thereunder are subject to shareholder approval at the Company’s annual general meeting on November 13, 2017.

Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP)

On September 25, 2017, the Company adopted an ESPP whereby eligible employees may contribute to the ESPP at least 1% but no more than 10% of their annual gross salary up to a maximum of $10,500, to purchase common shares of the Company in the open market at prevailing market prices. The Company contributes an amount equal to 50% of the employee’s contributions which are expensed as incurred as there are no vesting provisions.

There were no employee and employer contributions during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management


  (a)

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, marketable securities, promissory notes receivable, convertible debenture receivable, loans receivable, derivative, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and convertible notes. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values as at September 30, 2017.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs to fair value measurements. The three levels of hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

There have been no transfers between fair value levels during the period.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management (Continued)


  (a)

Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

     
 

The Company’s liability for the CanvasRx contingent consideration was measured at fair value based on unobservable inputs, and was considered a level 3 financial instrument. The fair value of the liability determined by this analysis was primarily driven by the Company’s expectations of CanvasRx achieving the milestones. The expected milestones were assessed probabilities by management which was then discounted to present value in order to derive a fair value of the contingent consideration. The primary inputs of the calculation were the probabilities of achieving the milestones and a discount rate.

     
  (b)

Financial instruments risk

     
 

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board mitigates these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management processes:


  (i)

Credit risk

     
 

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is moderately exposed to credit risk from its cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, convertible debenture asset and promissory notes receivable. The risk exposure is limited to their carrying amounts at the statement of financial position date. The risk for cash and cash equivalents is mitigated by holding these instruments with highly rated Canadian financial institutions. The Company does not invest in asset-backed deposits or investments and does not expect any credit losses. The Company periodically assesses the quality of its investments and is satisfied with the credit rating of the financial institutions and the investment grade of its guaranteed investment certificates. Trade and other receivables primarily consist of trade accounts receivable and goods and services taxes recoverable (“GST”). Credit risk from the convertible debenture asset and promissory notes receivable arises from the possibility that principal and/or interest due may become uncollectible. The Company mitigates this risk by managing and monitoring the underlying business relationships.

     
 

The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk, but has limited risk as the majority of sales are transacted with credit cards.

     
 

As at September 30, 2017, the Company’s aging of receivables was approximately as follows:


      September 30,     June 30,  
      2017     2017  
     $    $  
  0 – 60 days   1,973     1,534  
  61 – 120 days   1,728     778  
      3,701     2,312  

  (ii)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management (Continued)


  (b)

Financial instruments risk (continued)


  (ii)

Liquidity risk (continued)

In addition to the commitments outlined in Note 20, the Company has the following contractual obligations:

      Total     <1 year     1 - 3 years     3 -5 years  
     $    $    $    $  
  Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   12,015     12,015     -     -  
  Deferred revenue   1,548     1,548     -     -  
  Finance lease   424     107     317     -  
  Convertible notes   79,220     -     79,220     -  
      93,207     13,670     79,537     -  

  (iii)

Market risk


  a)

Currency risk

     
 

The operating results and financial position of the Company are reported in Canadian dollars. As the Company operates in an international environment, some of the Company’s financial instruments and transactions are denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks.

     
 

The Company holds cash in Canadian dollars and Euros, and investments in Australian dollars. The Company’s main risk is associated with fluctuations in the Euros and Australian dollars and assets and liabilities are translated based on the foreign currency translation policy.

     
 

The Company has determined that an effect of a 10% increase or decrease in the Australian dollar and Euro against the Canadian dollar on financial assets and liabilities, as at September 30, 2017, including cash, marketable securities and accounts payable and accrued liabilities denominated in Euros and Australian dollars, would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $2,598 (2016 - $Nil) to the net loss and comprehensive loss for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

     
 

At September 30, 2017, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

     
  b)

Interest rate risk

     
 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Cash and cash equivalents bear interest at market rates. The Company’s investments, loans receivables and financial debt have fixed rates of interest and therefore expose the Company to a limited interest rate fair value risk.

Market risk (continued)


  (c)

Price risk

Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. The Company’s marketable securities and investments are susceptible to price risk arising from uncertainties about their future values. The fair value of marketable securities is based on quoted market prices which the shares of the investments can be exchanged for.

If the fair value of these financial assets were to increase or decrease by 10%, the Company would incur an associated increase or decrease in net loss and comprehensive loss of approximately $4,225 (2016 - $Nil). See note 4 for additional details regarding the fair value of investments and marketable securities.

23.

CapitalManagement

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure that there are adequate capital resources to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and maintain adequate levels of funding to support its ongoing operations and development such that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

The capital structure of the Company consists of items included in shareholders’ equity and debt, net of cash and cash equivalents. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the Company’s underlying assets. The Company plans to use existing funds, as well as funds from the future sale of products to fund operations and expansion activities.

As at September 30, 2017, the Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

SubsequentEvents

The following events occurred subsequent to September 30, 2017:

  (a)

The Company entered into a subscription agreement, as amended and restated, to purchase 10,558,676 units of Hempco at $0.3075 per unit for gross proceeds of $3,247. Each unit consists of one common share and one warrant exercisable at a price of $0.41 per share for a period of two years, subject to accelerated expiry if Hempco’s shares trade at or above a VWAP of $0.65 for any 30-day period following closing of the Investment. The closing of the private placement is subject to the execution of an option agreement with the majority owners of Hempco and an investor rights agreement, regulatory approval and disinterested shareholder approval. Upon closing, the Company will hold approximately 23% of the share capital of Hempco on a fully diluted basis.

     
 

On September 15, 2017, the Company and Hempco executed an option agreement (the “Option”) to acquire up to 10,754,942 shares from the majority owners of Hempco, which upon exercise, would bring the Company’s total ownership interest in Hempco to over 50.1% on a fully diluted basis. If the Company elects to exercise the Option, the shares will be acquired in tranches, the pricing of which, is contingent on achievement of certain performance milestones of Hempco.
