Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

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

 

 

Note 1 Nature of Operations

 

Aurora Cannabis Inc. (the “Company” or “Aurora”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on December 21, 2006. The Company’s shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the trading symbol “ACB”, and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange ("FSE") under the trading symbol “21P”.

 

The Company's head office and principal address is Suite 500 - 10355 Jasper Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, T5J 1Y6. The Company’s registered and records office address is Suite 1500 - 1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 4N7.

 

The Company’s principal business is the production, distribution and sale of cannabis products in Canada and internationally. Aurora conducts the following key business activities in the countries listed below:

 

Production, distribution and sale of medical and consumer cannabis products in Canada pursuant to the Cannabis Act;
Distribution of wholesale medical cannabis in the European Union ("EU") pursuant to the German Medicinal Products Act and German Narcotic Drugs Act;
Production of medical cannabis in Denmark pursuant to the Danish Medicines Act; and
Production and distribution of cannabis in Uruguay pursuant to Law N° 19,172 Cannabis and its derivatives: state control and regulation of the importation, production, acquisition, storage, marketing and distribution.

 

Through recent acquisitions (Note 10), the Company has expanded its business to include research and development, and the production and sale of hemp related products.

 

Aurora does not engage in any federally illegal U.S. cannabis-related activities. While the Company previously held an interest in a U.S. based company, Australis Holdings LLP (“Australis Holdings” or “AHL”), AHL did not engage in any cannabis-related activities for the periods presented in which Aurora held an interest. AHL was spun-out to Aurora shareholders as part of the Australis Capital Inc. spin-out transaction completed on September 19, 2018 (Note 4(f)).

 

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments

 

(a)Basis of Presentation and Measurement

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") in accordance with International Accounting Standards 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and are prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies, critical estimates and methods described in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, except for the adoption of new accounting standards identified in Note 2(d). Given that certain information and footnote disclosures, which are included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements, have been condensed or excluded in accordance with IAS 34, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2018, including the accompanying notes thereto.

 

For comparative purposes, the Company has reclassified certain items on the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position and the condensed consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income to conform with current period’s presentation. Where these adjustments are material, they have been specifically highlighted and discussed in the relevant note disclosures below.

 

(b)Basis of Consolidation

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries with intercompany balances and transactions eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries include entities over which Aurora has the authority or ability to exert power over the investee's financial and/or operating decisions, which in turn affect the Company's exposure or rights to the variable returns from the investee. Major subsidiaries acquired during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 over which the Company has control include:

Major subsidiaries Percentage Ownership Functional Currency
Anandia Laboratories Inc. (“Anandia”) 100% Canadian Dollar
ICC Labs Inc. ("ICC") 100% U.S. Dollar
MedReleaf Corp. (“MedReleaf”) 100% Canadian Dollar
UAB Agropro (“Agropro”) 100% European Euro
UAB Borela (“Borela”) 100% European Euro

Whistler Medical Marijuana Corporation ("Whistler")

 

100% Canadian Dollar

(c)Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements under IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities. Estimates and related assumptions are based on historical experience and other relevant factors. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis for reasonableness and relevancy. Where revisions are required, they are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised as well as future periods that are affected.

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company changed the useful life over which depreciation expense is recorded on its purpose-built greenhouses from 10 years to 30 years using the straight-line method. The change in estimate has been applied prospectively and resulted in a $2.3 million decrease in depreciation expense of property, plant and equipment for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 . This change in estimate is based upon the revised estimated useful lives of such greenhouses. The effect of this change in estimate on future periods depends on the level of future capital expenditures and disposals made. Assuming no capital expenditures and disposals are made with respect to purpose-built greenhouses, depreciation of property, plant and equipment is expected to decrease by $2.2 million for the three month period ending June 30, 2019.

 

With the exception of the change in useful lives for purpose-built greenhouses (Note 9), the fair value of the Australis Capital shares and warrants (Note 4(f)) and the fair value of the Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (Note 13(c)), there have been no other changes in Aurora's critical accounting estimates, significant judgments and assumptions during the nine months ended March 31, 2019.

 

(d)New or Amended Standards Effective July 1, 2018

 

The Company has adopted the following new or amended IFRS standards for the period beginning July 1, 2018.

 

(i)IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

 

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments replaced IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9. The Company adopted IFRS 9 using the retrospective approach where the cumulative impact of adoption was recognized in retained earnings as at July 1, 2018 and comparatives were not restated.

 

The adoption of IFRS 9 did not have an impact on the Company’s classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities except for equity instruments which were classified as marketable securities on the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position. The Company designates its marketable securities as financial assets at FVTOCI, where they are initially recorded at fair value. This designation is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and if elected, subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income only and are not transferred into profit or loss upon disposition.

 

IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is classified and measured at amortized cost or at fair value. The classification and measurement of financial assets is based on the Company’s business models for managing its financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”). Financial assets are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at either (i) amortized cost; (ii) fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI"), or (iii) at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"). Consistent with IAS 39, financial liabilities under IFRS 9 are generally classified and measured at fair value at initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortized cost. The change did not impact the carrying amounts of any of our financial assets and liabilities on the adoption date.

 

The following table summarizes the classification of the Company’s financial instruments under IAS 39 and IFRS 9:

  IAS 39 Classification IFRS 9 Classification
     
Financial assets    
Cash and cash equivalents Loans and receivables Amortized cost
Restricted cash Loans and receivables Amortized cost
Short-term investments Loans and receivables Amortized cost
Accounts receivable excluding taxes receivable Loans and receivables Amortized cost
Marketable securities Available-for-sale FVTOCI
Derivatives FVTPL FVTPL
     
Financial liabilities    
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost Amortized cost
Loans and borrowings Amortized cost Amortized cost
Convertible debentures Amortized cost Amortized cost
Contingent consideration payable FVTPL FVTPL
Derivative liability FVTPL FVTPL

 

IFRS 9 uses an expected credit loss impairment model as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under IAS 39. The impairment model is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost where any expected future credit losses are provided for, irrespective of whether a loss event has occurred as at the reporting date. For trade accounts receivable, the Company utilized a provision matrix, as permitted under the simplified approach, and has measured the expected credit losses based on lifetime expected credit losses taking into consideration historical credit loss experience and financial factors specific to debtors and other relevant factors. The carrying amount of trade receivables is reduced for any expected credit losses through the use of an allowance for doubtful accounts ("AFDA") provision. Changes in the carrying amount of the AFDA provision are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. When the Company determines that no recovery of the amount owing is possible, the amount is deemed irrecoverable and the financial asset is written off. The adoption of the new expected credit loss impairment model had a negligible impact on the carrying amounts of financial assets recognized at amortized cost.

(ii)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 Company adopted IFRS 15 using the modified retrospective approach, where the cumulative impact of adoption was required to be recognized in retained earnings as of July 1, 2018 and comparatives were not required to be restated. The adoption of this new standard had no impact on the amounts recognized in its condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

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 assessment of which requires judgment. The model features the following five-step contract-based analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognized:

 

1.Identify the contract with a customer;
2.Identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract;
3.Determine the transaction price;
4.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and
5.Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies the performance obligation(s).

 

In accordance with IFRS 15, revenue from the sale of cannabis is generally recognized when control over the goods has been transferred to the customer. Payment for medical sales is typically due prior to shipment. Payment for wholesale consumer-use is due within a specified time period as permitted by the underlying agreement and the Company's credit policy upon the transfer of goods to the customer. Revenue is recognized upon the satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and transfers control to the customer upon delivery and acceptance by the customer, the timing of which is consistent with the Company’s previous revenue recognition policy under IAS 18.

 

Effective October 17, 2018, Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") began levying an excise tax on the sale of medical and consumer cannabis products, which specifically includes the following classes of products: fresh cannabis, dried cannabis, cannabis oil, cannabis seeds and cannabis plants. The Company becomes liable for these excise duties when cannabis products are delivered to the customer. The excise tax payable is currently based on the higher of (i) a flat-rate duty which is imposed when a cannabis product is packaged, and (ii) an advalorem duty that is imposed when a cannabis product is delivered to the customer. Where the excise tax has been billed to customers, the Company has reflected the excise tax as part of revenue in accordance with IFRS 15. Net revenue from sale of goods, as presented on the interim consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, represents revenue from the sale of goods less applicable excise taxes. Given that the excise tax payable/paid to CRA cannot be reclaimed and is not always billed to customers, the Company recognizes that the excise tax is an operating cost that affects gross margin to the extent that it is not recovered from its customers.

 

Service revenues, including patient referral and construction consulting services, are recognized over a period of time as performance obligations are completed. The timing of revenue recognition for service revenues is consistent with the Company's previous revenue recognition policy prior to the adoption of IFRS 15.

 

(e)Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The following IFRS standards have been recently issued by the IASB. Pronouncements that are not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact have been excluded.

 

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 greater than twelve months, unless the underlying asset's value is insignificant. 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. Lessors will continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with lessor accounting remaining substantially unchanged from the preceding guidance under IAS 17, Leases.

Management has begun to execute its implementation plan and has substantially completed the initial scoping phase to identify material lease contracts. The analysis of such contracts to quantify the transitional impact is currently in progress. IFRS 16 is expected to result in materially higher non-current assets and non-current liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position. Furthermore, under IFRS 16, lease expense will no longer be reflected as a “general and administration” expense on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. Instead, the depreciation of the right-of-use asset will be captured in the “depreciation and amortization” expense line and the accretion of the lease liability will be captured in the “finance and other costs” line.

 

IFRS 16 will also impact the presentation of the consolidated statement of cash flows by decreasing cash flows used in operating activities and increasing cash flows used within financing activities, as the principal component of lease payments currently reflected as an operating activity will be presented as a financing activity. The Company is currently considering adoption of IFRS 16 through the modified retrospective approach effective July 1, 2019.

 

Definition of a Business

 

In October 2018, the IASB issued “Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3)”. The amendments clarify the definition of a business, with the objective of assisting entities to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. The amendment provides an assessment framework to determine when a series of integrated activities is not a business. The amendments are effective for business combinations occurring on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of these amendments on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 Strategic Investments

 

(a)Cann Group Limited (“Cann Group”)

 

Cann Group is a public company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. Cann Group is the first company in Australia to be licensed for the research and cultivation of medical cannabis for human use.

 

As of March 31, 2019, the Company held an aggregate of 31,956,347 shares in Cann Group (June 30, 2018 - 31,956,347), representing a 23% ownership interest. Given that the Company has significant influence over Cann Group, the investment has been accounted for under the equity method (Note 6). During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, management finalized its estimate of the value of the Company's share of the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. There were no significant changes during the period to the initial carrying amount recognized for the value of the investment.

 

Based on Cann Group’s closing stock price of A$2.30 on March 31, 2019, the 31,956,347 shares classified under investment in associates have a fair value of approximately $69.5 million (A$73.5 million). During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company assessed the carrying value of the investment against the estimated recoverable amount and determined that no impairment was required.

 

(b)Alcanna Inc., formerly Liquor Stores N.A. Ltd. (“Alcanna”)

 

Alcanna is an Alberta based public company listed on the TSX and its principal business activity is the retailing of wines, beers and spirits in Canada and the United States of America.

(ii)Warrants

 

At March 31, 2019, the Company’s 11,880,000 warrants in Alcanna had a fair value of $0.4 million (June 30, 2018 - $2.4 million) resulting in a $0.3 million unrealized gain and a $2.0 million unrealized loss for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 (Note 5(b)), respectively. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Binomial model with the following weighted average assumptions: share price of $5.62 (June 30, 2018 - $9.14); risk-free interest rate of 1.96% (June 30, 2018 - 2.12%); dividend yield of 0% (June 30, 2018 - 0%); historical stock price volatility of 68.54% (June 30, 2018 - 30.15%); and an expected life of 0.37 years (June 30, 2018 - 1.49 years). If the estimated volatility increased or decreased by 10%, the estimated fair value would increase or decrease by approximately $0.6 million.

 

(c)CTT Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“CTT”)

 

CTT is an Ontario-based public company which is listed on the OTC under the symbol "CTTH". CTT is in the business of developing dose specific, fast dissolving oral thin film wafers that provide dose specific, smoke-free delivery of medical cannabis or other active ingredients.

 

As at March 31, 2019, the Company held 3,731,343 common shares and 20,779,972 warrants of CTT, which if converted and exercised, would increase the Company’s ownership interest to 35% on a fully diluted basis (Note 5(b) and 6).

 

Based on an assessment of existing and potential voting rights and other qualitative factors, the Company holds significant influence in CTT and accounts for its investment under the equity method. The background and history of our holdings is described below.

 

(i)Common shares

 

Based on CTT’s closing stock price of US$0.33 on March 31, 2019, the 3,731,343 shares classified under investment in associates, represent an 8% ownership interest and have a fair value of $1.6 million (US$1.2 million). During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company assessed the carrying value of the investment against the estimated recoverable amount and as a result, recognized an impairment charge of $1.3 million (Note 6).

 

(ii)Convertible Debenture

 

At June 30, 2018, the Company held a $1.3 million (US$1.0 million) convertible debenture in CTT, convertible at the option of the Company at US$0.268 per share, as well as 20,779,972 share purchase warrants exercisable at US$0.35 per share expiring on May 20, 2021.

 

On August 20, 2018, the Company fully converted the US$1.0 million debenture into 3,731,343 common shares of CTT resulting in an approximate 8% ownership interest. On conversion, the carrying value of the debenture was adjusted from its June 30, 2018 fair value of $4.6 million to $3.4 million based on the quoted share price of US$0.70. This resulted in the recognition of a $1.2 million fair value loss on conversion and the $3.4 million fair value of the investment was reclassified from derivatives (Note 5(b)) into investment in associates (Note 6).

 

(iii)Warrants

 

At March 31, 2019, the 20,779,972 warrants in CTT had a fair value of $1.0 million (Note 5(b)) (June 30, 2018 - $15.5 million) and the Company recognized an aggregate unrealized fair value loss of $1.3 million and $14.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively. The fair value of the derivative was estimated using the Binomial model with the following weighted average assumptions: share price of US $0.33 (June 30, 2018 - US $0.89); risk-free interest rate of 2.38% (June 30, 2018 - 2.85%); dividend yield of 0% (June 30, 2018 - 0%); stock price volatility of 20% (June 30, 2018 - 20%); and an expected life of 2.14 years (June 30, 2018 - 2.89 years).

 

(d)Capcium Inc. ("Capcium")

 

Capcium is a Montreal-based private company which is in the business of manufacturing soft-gels.

 

As of March 31, 2019, the Company held 8,828,662 shares (June 30, 2018 - 8,828,662) in Capcium representing a 20% ownership interest, as well as 4,883 convertible debentures. Based on an assessment of the Company’s existing voting rights and other qualitative factors, the Company determined that it holds significant influence in Capcium and has accounted for its investment under the equity method. Management continues to refine the estimate of the Company’s share of the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. As such, the allocation of the purchase price to the various assets acquired is subject to change. This allocation will be finalized no later than the period ending June 30, 2019.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company purchased 4,883 convertible debentures for a total cost of $4.9 million. The debentures bear interest at 8% per annum and mature on September 5, 2020. The convertible debentures are convertible at the option of Aurora upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event (as defined below) into units of Capcium at the lesser of (i) the price that is a 20% discount to the Liquidity Event Price; and (ii) the price determined based on a pre-money value of $80.0 million at the time of the Liquidity Event. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable into one common share at a price that is 50% greater than the conversion price for 2 years from the completion of a Liquidity Event. A Liquidity Event is the occurrence of either a public offering, a reverse take-over or a merger transaction which results in the common shares of Capcium being listed on a recognized stock exchange.

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

 

 

At March 31, 2019, the convertible debenture had a fair value of $7.2 million, which resulted in unrealized gains of $0.4 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively (Note 5(b)). The fair value of the convertible debenture was estimated using the Monte-Carlo and FINCAD model with the following assumptions: share price of $1.13; risk-free rate of 1.83%; dividend yield of 0%; stock price volatility of 55%; an expected life of 1.44 years; adjusted for a credit spread of 26% and a probability factor of 80% for the Liquidity Event. If the estimated volatility increased or decreased by 10%, the estimated fair value would increase or decrease by approximately $0.2 million.

As at March 31, 2019, the Company held 28,833,334 shares (June 30, 2018 - 39,674,584) in TGOD with a fair value of $139.0 million (Note 5(a)) based on the closing stock price of $4.82. The background and history of our holdings is described below.

 

Upon closing of TGOD’s IPO on May 2, 2018, the Company received 39,674,584 common shares and 19,837,292 share purchase warrants and milestone options. Based on potential and existing voting rights as well as other qualitative factors, the Company concluded that it had significant influence in TGOD at that time. As a result, on May 2, 2018 the aggregate $133.2 million fair value of the common shares was reclassified from derivatives as subscription receipts to investment in associates (Note 6) and the TGOD share purchase warrants and milestone options were recognized as derivatives at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Of the 19,837,292 share purchase warrants, 16,666,667 subscription receipt warrants are exercisable into an equivalent number of common shares of TGOD at $3.00 per share expiring February 28, 2021, and 3,170,625 participation right warrants are exercisable into an equivalent number of common shares of TGOD at $7.00 per share expiring May 2, 2020. The Company also held milestone options which, upon TGOD’s achievement of the specified milestones, entitle the Company to increase its ownership interest in TGOD to over 50% and are exercisable at a 10% discount to the listed market price.

 

On September 27, 2018, due to the resignation of Aurora's Board representative from TGOD’s Board of Directors and other qualitative factors, the Company no longer held significant influence in TGOD. As a result, the $131.0 million carrying value of Aurora's equity investment was derecognized from investment in associates (Note 6) and reclassified to marketable securities (Note 5(a)) at its fair value of $275.3 million, calculated based on the September 27, 2018 quoted market price of $6.94. This resulted in the recognition of a $144.4 million fair value gain upon the reclassification to marketable securities.

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company sold 4,500,000 and10,841,250 common shares of TGOD for gross proceeds of $11.5 million and $47.4 million, respectively. As a result, the Company recognized realized losses of $0.3 million and $8.7 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively.

 

At March 31, 2019, the $44.3 million (June 30, 2018 - $95.0 million) fair value of the 16,666,667 subscription receipt warrants and milestone options (Note 5(b)) was estimated using the Binomial model with the following weighted average assumptions: share price of $4.82 (June 30, 2018 - $6.47); risk-free interest rate of 1.88% (June 30, 2018 - 2.30%); dividend yield of 0%(June 30, 2018 - 0%); stock price volatility of 78.46% (June 30, 2018 - 60.00%); and an expected life of 1.77 years (June 30, 2018 - 2.52 years). At March 31, 2019, of the $44.3 million fair value, $44.3 million was attributed to the subscription receipt warrants and $0 (June 30, 2018 - $27.6 million) was attributed to the milestone options . During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized fair value gains of $29.5 million and fair value losses of $50.7 million, respectively for the subscription receipt warrants and milestone options. During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, Aurora's milestone options expired unexercised and resulted in a loss of $27.6 million (Note 5(b)).

 

At March 31, 2019, the $2.5 million (June 30, 2018 - $4.5 million) fair value of the 3,170,625 participation right warrants was estimated using the Monte-Carlo model with the following weighted average assumptions: share price of $4.82 (June 30, 2018 - $6.47); risk-free interest rate of 1.87% (June 30, 2018 - 2.21%); dividend yield of 0% (June 30, 2018 - 0%); stock price volatility of 77.77% (June 30, 2018 - 60.00%); and an expected life of 1.09 years (June 30, 2018 - 1.84 years). In connection with the valuation of the participation right warrants, the Company recognized fair value gains of $1.9 million and fair value losses $2.0 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively.

 

(f)Australis Capital Inc. (“ACI”)

 

At June 30, 2018, ACI was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aurora and Aurora held a 50% interest in AHL. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company distributed the shares and warrants that it owned in ACI to the Company's shareholders through a spin-out transaction. As part of the spin-out, ACI completed a two-tranche private placement on July 5, 2018 and August 3, 2018, which resulted in reductions of Aurora's ownership interest in ACI to 47% and 24%, respectively.

 

Following the completion of the first private placement on July 5, 2018, Aurora no longer had the ability to exercise control over ACI and ACI was deconsolidated. The Company accounted for its remaining 26,802,364 ACI shares held as an investment in associate (Note 6) and the 26,802,364 ACI warrants held as derivatives (Note 5(b)). The shares had an estimated fair value of $5.4 million on July 5, 2018 based on the private placement subscription price of $0.20 per share and the warrants had a fair value of $0.7 million estimated using the Binomial model with the following assumptions: share price of $0.20; risk-free rate of 1.90%; volatility of 50.67%; dividend yield of 0%; and an expected life of 1.00 year. As a result of loss of control and deconsolidation, during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 the Company recognized a $0.4 million gain in the statement of comprehensive income.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

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

 

 

Following the completion of the second private placement on August 3, 2018, Aurora no longer had ACI Board representation, no interchange of managerial personnel, and had received shareholder approval for the spin-out. As such, Aurora no longer held significant influence in ACI and the $5.4 million fair value (Note 6) of the 26,802,364 ACI shares were reclassified to marketable securities (Note 5(a)).

 

The Company also received 1,341,391 units in ACI in exchange for funding of $0.3 million of ACI’s transaction costs prior to the spin-out. Each unit consisted of one common share and one warrant exercisable at $0.25 per share for a period of one year. Upon receipt of these units, $0.23 million was allocated to the shares (Note 5(a)) and $0.04 million was allocated to the warrants (Note 5(b)).

 

On September 19, 2018, the Company held a total 28,143,755 shares and 28,143,755 warrants in ACI which were spun-out to shareholders and ACI became a separate publicly traded company. At the time of the spin-out, the shares and warrants had a fair value of $82.5 million (Note 5(a)) and $69.2 million (Note 5(b)), respectively, estimated based on ACI’s quoted closing market price on September 19, 2018 of $2.93 and $2.46, respectively. In accordance with IFRS, the Company was required to remeasure these interests to fair value and as a result, recognized an unrealized gain of $76.9 million in other comprehensive income on the shares (Note 5(a)), and an unrealized gain of $68.5 million in income on the warrants (Note 5(b)). As a result of the spin-out, the Company recognized a dividend of $151.7 million to retained earnings, which equated to the fair value of the ACI shares and warrants distributed to Aurora shareholders.

 

As part of the spin-out of ACI and pursuant to the June 14, 2018 Funding Agreement, the Company received the following restricted back-in right warrants in exchange for $0.5 million:

 

(a)22,628,751 warrants exercisable at $0.20 per share expiring September 19, 2028; and
(b)The number of warrants equal to 20% of the number of common shares issued and outstanding in ACI on the date of first exercise, exercisable at the five-day VWAP of ACI’s shares and expiring September 19, 2028.

 

Aurora is restricted from exercising the back-in right warrants unless all of ACI’s business operations in the U.S. are legal under applicable U.S. federal and state laws and Aurora has received consent of the TSX and any other stock exchange on which Aurora may be listed, as required.

 

As cannabis operations in the U.S. remain illegal under federal and certain state laws, the warrants remain un-exercisable at March 31, 2019. As such, the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the back-in right warrants has not changed materially from the $0.5 million (Note 5(b)) original cost of the investment.

 

(g)Choom Holdings Inc. ("Choom")

 

Choom is an emerging consumer cannabis company that is developing retail networks across Canada.

 

On November 2, 2018, the Company subscribed to a $20.0 million unsecured convertible debenture in Choom bearing interest at 6.5% per annum and maturing on November 2, 2022.

Per the terms of the arrangement and in accordance with the Cannabis Retail Regulations in Ontario, licensed producers are subject to a 9.9% ownership interest in licensed retailers.

At March 31, 2019, the 96,464,248 share purchase warrants had a fair value of $0.1 million resulting in an insignificant unrealized losses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 (Note 5(b)).

Note 7 Biological Assets

 

The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants from inception to the point of harvest. The changes in the carrying value of biological assets for the period are as follows:

    $
Balance, June 30, 2018   13,620  
Production costs capitalized   25,855  
Biological assets acquired through business combinations (Note 10)   9,088  
Changes in fair value less cost to sell due to biological transformation   61,461  
Transferred to inventory upon harvest   (57,819 )
Balance, March 31, 2019   52,205  

 

As of March 31, 2019, the weighted average fair value less cost to complete and cost to sell was $2.8 per gram (June 30, 2018 - $6.46 per gram). The following inputs and assumptions are all categorized within Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy and were used in determining the fair value of biological assets:

Inputs and assumptions Calculation method Inter-relationship between unobservable inputs and fair value - the estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if:
Selling price per gram Based on average selling prices for the period for all strains of cannabis sold by the Company, which is expected to approximate future selling prices. The selling price per gram were higher (lower).
Attrition rate Based on the weighted average number of plants culled at each stage of production The attrition rate was lower (higher).
Average yield per plant Based on the average number of grams of dried cannabis inventory expected to be harvested from each cannabis plant. The average yield per plant was higher (lower).
Standard cost per gram to complete production Based on actual production costs incurred divided by the grams produced in the period. The standard cost per gram to complete production was lower (higher).
Cumulative stage of completion in the production process Based on a weighted average number of days in production over a total average grow cycle of approximately twelve weeks. The number of days in production was higher (lower).

Three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

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

 

 

Significant unobservable assumptions used in the valuation of biological assets, including the sensitivities on changes in these assumptions and their effect on the fair value of biological assets, are as follows:

  

  Range of inputs     Effect on fair value
Significant inputs & assumptions  Mar 31, 2019  Jun 30, 2018  Sensitivity  Mar 31, 2019  Jun 30, 2018
Selling price per gram  $6.13   $7.25 to $8.96  Increase or decrease of $1.00 per gram  $16,085   $1,763 
Average yield per plant   26 to 59 grams   20 to 51 grams  Increase or decrease by 5 grams per plant  $8,956   $1,999 

The Company’s estimates are, by their nature, subject to change and differences from the anticipated yield will be reflected in the fair value gains or losses on biological assets in future periods.

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company’s biological assets produced 15,589,768 and 28,408,254 grams of dried cannabis, respectively (three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 - 1,173,827 and 3,387,671 grams). As of March 31, 2019, it is expected that the Company’s biological assets will yield approximately 34,494,723 grams (June 30, 2018 - 3,794,770 grams) of cannabis when harvested.

AURORA CANNABIS INC.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

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

 

 

(a)MedReleaf Corp. ("MedReleaf")

 

On July 25, 2018, the Company acquired MedReleaf, a Canadian company previously listed on the TSX. MedReleaf is in the business of the production and sale of cannabis. The Company acquired MedReleaf to increase its production capacity, international presence, research and development portfolio, patient count and revenue growth.

 

The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of MedReleaf for aggregate consideration of $2,644.0 million, which consisted of 370,120,238 common shares with a fair value of $2,568.6 million and replacement share based awards with a fair value of $75.4 million. The compensation expense related to these replacement awards included: $53.8 million for employee stock options, $2.0 million for performance options, and $19.6 million for warrants.

 

Management is in the process of gathering the relevant information to determine and finalize the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. As such, the initial purchase price has been provisionally allocated based on the Company’s estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. The values assigned are, therefore, preliminary and subject to change. Management continues to refine and finalize its purchase price allocation based on the fair values of identifiable intangible assets and goodwill.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, preliminary acquisition date values compared to the preliminary values reported as at December 31, 2018 changed as follows:

   Provisional allocation as at September 30, 2018  Adjustments  Provisional allocation as at December 31, 2018  Adjustments  Adjusted Balance
    $    $    $    $    $ 
Consideration payable   2,644,115    (108)   2,644,007    —      2,644,007

Property, plant and equipment   134,414    (7,503)   126,911    —      126,911 
Intangible assets   335,988    (6,900)   329,088    (12,001)   317,087 
Loans and borrowings   (845)   845    —      —      —   
Deferred tax liability   (75,920)   3,013    (72,907)   3,001    (69,906)
Goodwill   2,086,382    11,282    2,097,664    9,000    2,106,664 

 

As required by IFRS, comparative amounts within fiscal 2019 have been adjusted so as to reflect the adjustments effective as of the acquisition date.

 

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, MedReleaf accounted for $33.1 million and $76.3 million in revenues, and $7.2 million in net income and $25.1 million in net loss since July 25, 2018, respectively. If the acquisition had been completed on July 1, 2018, the Company estimates it would have recorded an increase of $4.5 million to revenues and an increase of $17.6 million in net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2019.

 

(b)Anandia Laboratories Inc. ("Anandia")

 

On August 8, 2018, the Company acquired Anandia, a Canadian cannabis-focused science company specialized in genomics, metabolite profiling, plant breeding, disease characterization, cultivar certification, and the provision of testing services to producers and patient-cultivators. The acquisition will enable Aurora to develop new, customized cultivars for specific applications, creating products that generate positive health outcomes in relation to specific medical indications, while further enhancing efficiencies at our facilities.

 

On August 8, 2018, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Anandia for aggregate consideration of $98.2 million, which included 12,716,482 common shares with a fair value of $78.6 million and 6,358,210 share purchase warrants with a fair value of $19.6 million. The warrants are each exercisable at $9.37 and expire on August 9, 2023. As part of the acquisition, an aggregate of $10.0 million in additional share consideration is to be paid out in three tranches on the first, second and fourth anniversaries of the acquisition date, subject to the continued employment of the co-founders of Anandia. The additional consideration is accounted for as share-based compensation expense for post-combination services provided and will be expensed through income. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company accrued $2.0 million and $5.3 million in share-based compensation expense, respectively.

 

Management is in the process of gathering the relevant information to determine and finalize the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. As such, the initial purchase price has been provisionally allocated based on the Company’s estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. The values assigned are, therefore, preliminary and subject to change. Management continues to refine and finalize its purchase price allocation based on the fair values of identifiable intangible assets and goodwill.

(e)Whistler Medical Marijuana Corporation ("Whistler")

 

On March 1, 2019, the Company acquired Whistler, a Canadian private licensed producer of organic cannabis products. The Company acquired Whistler to increase production capacity and product offerings for both domestic and global markets.

 

The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Whistler for total aggregate consideration of $158.1 million, which was comprised of:

 

13,460,833 Aurora common shares with a fair value of $130.8 million;
$2.9 million related to the settlement of a pre-existing loan; and
$24.4 million of contingent consideration, which represents the estimated fair value of $25.1 million gross consideration to be paid in Aurora common shares upon achievement of certain milestones related to Whistler's Pemberton facility obtaining a cannabis sales license and the facility being fully planted (the "Milestones").

 

The Company also issued 207,100 common shares, with a fair value of $2.0 million (Note 15(b)(i)) for finders’ fees related to this acquisition.

 

Under the terms of the purchase agreement, a further $14.9 million in gross contingent consideration is to be paid out to the former shareholders of Whistler subject to the continued employment of the founder of Whistler. In accordance with IFRS 3, the additional cost of this consideration is expected to be accounted for as share-based compensation expense for post-combination services provided in the period that the applicable conditions are met. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $3.1 million in share-based compensation expense related to this second milestone.

 

Management is in the process of gathering the relevant information that existed at the acquisition date to determine the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As such, the initial purchase price was provisionally allocated based on the Company's estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. The values assigned are, therefore, preliminary and subject to change. Management continues to refine and finalize its purchase price allocation for the fair value of identifiable intangible assets, property plant and equipment, and goodwill.

 

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, Whistler accounted for $0.8 million in revenues and net income of $0.1 million since the March 1, 2019 acquisition date. If the acquisition had been completed on July 1, 2018, the Company estimates it would have recorded an increase of $3.4 million in revenues and an decrease of $1.0 million in net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2019.

(1)As at March 31, 2019, capitalized ERP costs with a net book value of $11.3 million were reclassified in accordance with IAS 38 from computer software & equipment in property, plant and equipment assets (Note 9) to intangible assets.
(2)In accordance with IFRS 3 - Business Combinations, acquisition date fair values assigned to intangible assets have been adjusted, within the applicable measurement period, where new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date (Note 10). Related amortization amounts have also been adjusted to reflect the outcomes of the finalized business combination purchase price allocations.

 

As at March 31, 2019, the Company assessed whether there were events or changes in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any of its reporting units below their carrying values and, therefore, require goodwill to be tested for impairment. The Company considers overall financial performance and relevant entity-specific factors as part of this assessment.

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized a $3.9 million goodwill impairment charge and a $1.1 million intangible asset impairment charge related to certain assets that support the production and sale of indoor home cultivation systems. Given that revenues associated with the production and sale of such cultivation systems have not been growing at the rate expected at the acquisition of these assets, the carrying value of the assets which support the business is not likely to be recoverable from future related cash flows. As a result, management has recognized the impairment charges described above.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 the Company recognized an intangible asset impairment charge of $4.0 million pertaining to certain permits and licenses, held within the cannabis operating segment, due to the decline in the estimated recoverable amount of the asset.

 

As at March 31, 2019, intangible assets consists of $307.4 million of indefinite life intangibles and $392.7 million of definite life intangibles. All of the $307.4 million indefinite life intangibles are allocated to the group of cash generating units ("CGUs") that comprise the cannabis segment.

(a)Represents $115.0 million principal amount of convertible debentures that were issued in November 2017 that are unsecured, bear interest at 6% per annum and mature on November 28, 2022. The principal amount of the debentures is convertible by the holder into common shares of the Company at $6.50 per share subject to a forced conversion if the Volume Weighted Average Price ("VWAP") of the Company's common shares exceeded $9.00 per share for 10 consecutive trading days.

 

On November 15, 2018, the Company elected to exercise its right pursuant to the forced conversion and converted all of the remaining principal amount outstanding on the debentures into common shares since the VWAP exceeded $9.00 per share for 10 consecutive trading days. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company issued nil and 298,149 shares on conversion of the remaining $nil and $1.9 million principal amount of these debentures, respectively.

 

(b)On March 9, 2018, the Company completed a private placement of two-year unsecured convertible debentures. The debentures had an aggregate principal amount of $230.0 million and bear interest at 5% per annum, payable semi-annually. The debentures are convertible by the holder into common shares of the Company at a price of $13.05 per share subject to a forced conversion if the VWAP of the Company’s common shares exceed $17.00 per share for 10 consecutive trading days, which has not occurred as of March 31, 2019.

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company issued nil and 33,179 common shares on partial conversion of $nil and $0.4 million principal amount of debentures, respectively.

 

(c)On January 24, 2019, the Company issued $460.6 million (US$345.0 million) in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (“Senior Notes”), which includes a $60.1 million (US$45.0 million) over-allotment by the initial purchasers. The Senior Notes were issued at par value.

 

The Senior Notes are unsecured, mature on February 28, 2024 and bear cash interest semi-annually at a rate of 5.5% per annum. The initial conversion rate for the Senior Notes is 138.37 common shares per US$1,000 principal amount of Senior Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately US$7.23 per common share.

 

On and after February 28, 2022 and prior to February 28, 2024, the Senior Notes are redeemable in whole or in part from time to time at the Company's option at par plus accrued and unpaid interest, provided that the VWAP of the shares on the NYSE during the 20 consecutive trading days ending immediately preceding the date on which notice of redemption is given is not less than 130% of the conversion price of $9.40 per share.

 

On and after February 28, 2024, the Company has the option, upon not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior notice, to satisfy its obligations to pay on redemption or maturity, the principal amount of the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, in cash or by delivering freely tradable shares. Any accrued and unpaid interest will be paid in cash. Where redemption is executed through the issuance of shares, payment will be satisfied by delivering for each $1 due, that number of freely tradable shares obtained by dividing $1 by the VWAP of the shares on the NYSE for the 20 consecutive trading days ending ten trading days prior to the date fixed for redemption or maturity.

 

Holders will also have the right to require Aurora to repurchase their Senior Notes upon the occurrence of certain customary events at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

 

The Senior Notes and any common shares of Aurora issuable upon conversion of the Senior Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws, or qualified for distribution by prospectus in Canada, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements, or sold in Canada absent an exemption from the prospectus requirements of Canadian securities laws.

AURORA CANNABIS INC.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

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

 

 

In accordance with IFRS 9, the equity conversion option embedded in the Senior Notes was determined to be a derivative liability, which has been recognized separately at its fair value of $169.2 million. Subsequent changes in fair value of the equity conversion option will be recognized through profit and loss (i.e. FVTPL). The equity conversion option was classified as an option liability as it can be settled through the issuance of a variable number of shares, cash or a combination thereof, based on the exchange rate and or trading price at the time of settlement. The fair value of the equity conversion option was determined using the Kynex valuation model based on the following assumptions: share price of US$6.19, volatility of 60%, implied credit spread of 1037 bps, and assumed stock borrow rate of 10%.

 

The debt host has been recognized at its amortized cost of $276.9 million, which represents the remaining fair value allocated from total net proceeds received of $446.1 million (US $334.7 million) after $169.2 million (US $126.8 million) was allocated to the equity conversion option. Management elected to capitalize transaction costs, which are directly attributable to the issuance of the Senior Notes. These transaction costs total $14.5 million and have been netted against the principal amount of the debt.

 

As of March 31, 2019, the equity conversion option had a fair value of $270.7 million and the Company recognized a $101.5 million unrealized loss on the derivative liability. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has accrued interest of $4.6 million on these Senior Notes.

On August 29, 2018, the Company entered into a secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) and certain lenders to establish a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). Under the Credit Facility, we have access to an aggregate of $200.0 million in funds that are available as follows:

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

 

 

(i)a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (“Facility A”) and
(ii)a $150.0 million non-revolving facility (“Facility B”).

 

Facility A and Facility B accrue interest and standby fees at variable rates based on the Company’s borrowing elections and certain financial metrics. The Credit Facility matures on August 29, 2021 and is subject to scheduled repayment terms. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is also subject to certain customary financial and non-financial covenants and restrictions. In addition, the Credit Facility is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s personal and real property and assets. The Company also has an option to upsize the Credit Facility to a total of $250.0 million, subject to certain conditions.

 

As at March 31, 2019, the Company has a $1.6 million letter of credit outstanding under Facility A and a $148.1 million outstanding under Facility B. In accordance with IFRS 9, the amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility were initially recorded at fair value and subsequently accounted for at amortized cost based on the effective interest rate.

 

Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company can elect, at its sole discretion, to receive advances under Facility B through certain availment options, which includes bankers’ acceptances with maturity dates between 28 and 182 days. Aurora, therefore, has the choice to continuously roll over the bankers’ acceptances upon their maturities or to convert the then outstanding principal and interest into prime rate loans at any time before August 29, 2021. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, Aurora converted its outstanding principal amount under Facility B to bankers’ acceptances, which reduced the effective interest rate from 5.9% as at September 30, 2018 to 5.37% as at December 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company continued to roll over the facility on a monthly basis through bankers' acceptances with an average interest rate of 5.30%. In accordance with IFRS 9, the loan conversions were determined to be non-substantial modification of the loan terms. As a result, the Company recognized gains of $0.2 million and $2.0 million in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively, with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying value of Facility B. The gains were determined based on the difference between the original contractual cash flows and the modified expected cash flows, which were discounted at the original effective interest rate.

 

Under the Credit Facility, as amended on December 31, 2018 and March 29, 2019, the Company must have a minimum cash ratio not less than 1.25:1, and a ratio of total funded debt to tangible net worth not exceeding 3.50:1 on March 31, 2019 and 1.50:1 at all times thereafter. As of March 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility and term loans.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of stock options outstanding as at March 31, 2019 is 4.23 years (June 30, 2018 - 4.13 years).

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded aggregate share-based compensation expense of $29.6 million and $67.0 million (three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 - $14.7 million and $23.6 million) for all stock options granted and vested during the period. This expense is included in Share Based Compensation line on the Statement of Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

 

Included in both the three and nine months periods ended March 31, 2019 is share-based compensation expense of $9.6 million related to 19,961,754 stock options granted to the Company's strategic advisor, Nelson Peltz. These stock options are exercisable at $10.34 per share over seven years and vest ratably over a four year period on a quarterly basis, subject to accelerated vesting based on the occurrence of certain events. The Company has rebutted the presumption that the fair value of the services received can be estimated reliably due to the unique nature of the strategic advisor's services. As such, in accordance with IFRS 2 for share-based payments granted to non-employees, the Company has measured the fair value of the options indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The Company will continue to fair value the unvested options at each period until they are fully vested.

(a)Claims and Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company and/or its subsidiaries may become defendants in legal actions and the Company intends to defend itself against all legal claims. Other than the claims described below, as of the date of this report, Aurora is not aware of any other material or significant claims against the Company.

 

On November 29, 2017, a claim was commenced against the Company regarding 300,000 stock options with an exercise price of $0.39 per share issued to a consultant pursuant to an agreement dated March 16, 2015. The agreement was terminated on March 8, 2016, and in accordance with the Company’s stock option plan, the unexercised options expired 90 days from the date of the termination of the agreement. The option holder is attempting to enforce exercise rights which the Company believes do not exist. The Company believes the action to be without merit and intends to defend this position. Examinations for discovery were completed in January 2019 and we continue to defend this claim. Due to the uncertainty of the timing and the amount of estimated future cash outflows, if any, relating to this claim, no provision had been recognized.

 

On October 3, 2018, a claim was commenced against the Company regarding the failure to supply product under an acquired subsidiary’s supply agreement. The plaintiff is seeking specific performance of the supply agreement and damages for breach of contract for approximately $22.0 million (#eu#14.7 million) plus legal costs. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Company had terminated the contract due to a breach by the plaintiff. The Company intends to defend its position. Due to the uncertainty of timing and the amount of estimated future cash outflows, if any, relating to this claim, no provision has been recognized.

The Company’s contingent consideration payable is measured at fair value based on unobservable inputs and is considered a level 3 financial instrument. The determination of the fair value of these liabilities is primarily driven by the Company’s expectations of the subsidiaries achieving certain milestones. The expected milestones were assigned probabilities and the expected related cash flows were discounted to derive the fair value of the contingent consideration. At March 31, 2019, the probability of achieving the milestones was estimated to be 100% and the discount rates were estimated to range between 5.73% and 36%. If the probabilities of achieving the milestones decreased by 10%, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration would decrease by approximately $2.9 million (June 30, 2018 - $2.0 million). If the discount rates increased or decreased by 5%, the estimated fair value of contingent consideration would increase or decrease by approximately $0.5 million (June 30, 2018 - $0.4 million). If the expected timing of achievement is delayed by six months, the estimated fair value of contingent consideration would decrease by approximately $1.0 million (June 30, 2018 - $0.9 million).

 

Note 22 Financial Instruments Risk

 

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

 

(a)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, restricted cash, trade and other receivables and short-term GIC investments. The risk exposure is limited to their carrying amounts reflected on the statement of financial position. The risk for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash is mitigated by holding these instruments with highly rated Canadian financial institutions. As the Company does not invest in asset-backed deposits or investments, it 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 GICs. Trade and other receivables primarily consist of trade accounts receivable and goods and services taxes (“GST”) recoverable. The Company provides credit to certain customers in the normal course of business and has an established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk. Risk is, however, limited given that majority of medical sales are transacted with credit cards and the majority of consumer sales are transacted with governmental bodies.
