Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


  (e)

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 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. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are described below.

  (i)

Investment in associates and joint ventures

Judgement is required in the assessment of whether the Company has control or significant influence in terms of the variability of returns from the Company’s involvement in the investee, the ability to use power to affect those returns and the significance of the Company’s investment in the investee. The Company classified its investment considering this assessment of control or significant influence. (Note 5)

Radient

As at December 31, 2017, the Company held an aggregate of 37,643,431 common shares of Radient representing a 17% interest ownership on an undiluted basis. The Company also held 4,541,889 warrants resulting in a 15.71% interest ownership in Radient on a fully diluted basis.

The Company is acting as an investor within the meaning of IAS 39, and is not involved in the strategic leadership and tactical implementation of the business plans of Radient. Aurora has one director on the board of Radient which consists of 9 members, and although the Company participates in the policy-making process and decisions, it cannot significantly influence those decisions. Radient only provides extraction processing services to Aurora as an independent contractor and there are no other material agreements in place. Furthermore, Aurora does not perform any commercial and technical consulting services for Radient.

In light of the above, management has determined that the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence in Radient and continued to classify the marketable securities as available-for-sale financial assets and share purchase warrants as held-for-trading derivatives.

Cann Group

The Company purchased additional shares of Cann Group, and as at December 31, 2017, held an aggregate of 28,762,314 common shares representing a 21.8% interest ownership in Cann Group. Subsequent to December 31, 2017, the Company acquired additional shares and further increased its ownership in Cann Group to 22.9% .

Through the extent of its share ownership interest, seat on the board of directors and contractual arrangements among other things, the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over Cann Group, and accordingly, accounted for the investments under the equity method.

Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


  (e)

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (continued)


  (ii)

Business combinations and asset acquisitions

Classification of an acquisition as a business combination or an asset acquisition depends on whether the assets acquired constitute a business, which can be a complex judgement. Whether an acquisition is classified as a business combination or asset acquisition can have a significant impact on the entries made on and after acquisition.

During the period, the Company acquired Larssen, Pedanios, BCNL and UCI. These entities are operating companies, and have operational processes and employees in place to conduct activities of the businesses to provide returns. As a result, these acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations as set out in Note 11.

The Company held a 22.3% interest ownership in Hempco. However, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire additional shares in Hempco that would bring the Company’s total ownership to over 50.1% . As a result, due primarily to potential voting rights, the Company has determined that it has control over Hempco. Accordingly, the investment has been accounted for as a business combination, and the results of Hempco have been consolidated in the financial statements. (Note 11(e))

  (f)

Recent accounting pronouncements

There were no new standards effective July 1, 2017 that had an impact on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The following IFRS standards have been recently issued by the IASB. 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.

Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


  (f)

Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)


  (iii)

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (continued)

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.

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.

  (iv)

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.

3.

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments consist of an aggregate of $908 in guaranteed investment certificates (“GIC”) with maturity dates between of October 29, 2018 and November 7, 2018, bearing annual interest rates ranging from prime rate less 2.25% .

Of these GICs, $397 are restricted and held as security against the Company’s corporate credit cards.

  (a)

Convertible debenture

ACE signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with 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 warrant exercisable at a price of $0.33 per share expiring February 13, 2019. The debenture had a term of 2 years and was subject to a mandatory conversion if after 5 months from the date of issuance the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Radient’s shares is equal to or greater than $0.40 for 10 consecutive days. 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 June 30, 2017 of $11,071 was estimated by measuring the fair value of the shares receivable on conversion at a quoted market price of $0.49 (inception - $0.61) and the warrants receivable on conversion using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.10% (inception – 0.75%); dividend yield of 0% (inception – 0%); stock price volatility of 99.05% (inception – 102.52%), and an expected life of 1.65 years (inception – 2 years).

On May 13, 2017, the Company received 104,167 units of Radient for its interest payment of $50 (Note 5(b)(iii)).

Acquisitions

CanvasRx (continued)


  (1)

Contingent consideration represents the estimated discounted value of the $26,750 gross consideration 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 six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued 5,016,293 shares at weighted average price of $2.32 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.

The purchase price was allocated as follows:

    $  
  Net liabilities acquired   (797 )
  Intangible asset – customer relationships   4,250  
  Deferred tax liability   (836 )
  Goodwill   34,510  
      37,127  

Goodwill recognized from the acquisition represents the expected benefit of future market share, revenue growth, and other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition including brand name and assembled workforce. None of the goodwill arising on this acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.

The Company is indemnified from any tax liability arising from pre-acquisition transactions of CanvasRx through adjustments to the purchase consideration.

The customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 7 years. The Company recorded amortization of $152 and $569 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017.

Fair values of the net liabilities acquired included the following:

    $  
  Sales tax receivable   39  
  Accounts receivable   212  
      251  
         
  Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   109

  Expected Stock Price Volatility   77.88%     87.0%  
  Expected Life of Options   2.96 years     2.92 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 six months ended December 31, 2017 was $2.66 (2016 - $1.11) per option. As at December 31, 2017, stock options outstanding have a weighted average remaining contractual life of 4.19 years.

  (b)

Restricted Share Units

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.

A summary of the status of the RSUs outstanding is as follows:

Financial Instruments and Risk Management


  (a)

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, marketable securities, promissory notes receivable, convertible debenture receivable, loans receivable, derivatives, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and convertible notes. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values as at December 31, 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.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments as at December 31, 2017:

      Available-for-           Financial     Other        
      sale financial     Loans and     assets at     financial

  Marketable securities   76,400     -     -     76,400  
  Warrant derivatives   -     -     3,942     3,942  

For the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized a total of $30,540 in unrealized gains on level 3 financial assets, comprised of $23,603 unrealized gains on warrant derivatives and $6,937 unrealized gains on convertible debentures on the statement of comprehensive loss. Of the $23,603 unrealized gain on derivatives, $19,122 was attributable to the change in fair value of warrant derivatives and $4,481 was attributable to the amortization of deferred unrealized inception gains. Of the $6,937 in unrealized gain on convertible debentures, $830 was attributable to the change in fair value of convertible debentures and $6,107 was attributable to the amortization of deferred unrealized inception gains.

Contingent consideration

The Company’s liability for the CanvasRx (Note 11(a)), BCNL and UCI (Note 11(d)), H2 (Note 11(f)), and Larssen (Note 11(g)) (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) contingent consideration was measured at fair value based on unobservable inputs and was considered a level 3 financial instrument. The fair value of these liabilities determined by this analysis was primarily driven by the Company’s expectations of the Subsidiaries’ achieving their 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.

Biological assets

The fair value of biological assets is categorized within Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy. 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.

The Company estimates that an effect of a $1.00 increase or decrease in the market price per gram of dried cannabis, as at December 31, 2017, would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $829 (June 30, 2017 - $440) to the fair value of biological assets. Additionally, an effect of a 10% increase or decrease in production wages, as at December 31, 2017, would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $65 (June 30, 2017 - $192) to the fair value of biological assets.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management (Continued)


  (a)

Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

     
 

As of December 31, 2017, it is expected that the Company’s biological assets will yield approximately 829,008 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.

     
  (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, short-term GIC investments, and loans 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 loans 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 December 31, 2017, the Company’s aging of receivables was approximately as follows:

      December 31,     June 30,  
      2017     2017  
    $   $  
  0 – 60 days   3,195     1,534  
  61 – 120 days   3,796     778  
      6,991     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.

Liquidity risk (continued)

In addition to the commitments outlined in Note 21, the Company has the following contractual obligations:

      Total     <1 year     1 - 3 years     3 -5 years  
    $   $   $   $  
  Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   22,030     22,030     -     -

  Finance lease   398     108     290     -  
      23,991     23,701     290     -  

  (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 December 31, 2017, including cash, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities denominated in Euros and Australian dollars, would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $158 (2016 - $Nil) to the net loss and comprehensive loss for the six months ended December 31, 2017.

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.

     
  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.
