These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on October 14, 2020.

2.Basis of preparation

 

(a)Statement of compliance

The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended May 31, 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and Interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee.

(b)Basis of measurement

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value and biological assets that are measured at fair value less costs to sell, as detailed in the Company’s accounting policies.

 

(c)Functional currency

All figures presented in the consolidated financial statements are reflected in Canadian dollars; however, the functional currency of the Company includes the Canadian dollar and the Euro.

Foreign currency transactions are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Company’s entities at the exchange rates in effect on the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate applicable at the statement of financial position date. Non-monetary items carried at historical cost denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the date of the transactions. Non-monetary items carried at fair value denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the date when the fair value was determined. Realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses are recognized through profit and loss.

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations reported in their functional currencies are translated into Canadian dollars, the Group’s presentation currency, at period-end exchange rates. Income and expenses, and cash flows of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars using average exchange rates.

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

 

(d)Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly and indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity and be exposed to the variable returns from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The following is a list of the Company’s operating subsidiaries:

 

Subsidiaries Jurisdiction of incorporation Ownership interest
Broken Coast Cannabis Ltd. British Columbia, Canada 100%
ARA – Avanti Rx Analytics Inc. Ontario, Canada 100%
FL Group S.r.l. Italy 100%
ABP, S.A. Argentina 100%
Aphria Germany GmbH Germany 100%
Aphria RX GmbH Germany 100%
CC Pharma GmbH Germany 100%
CC Pharma Research and Development GmbH Germany 100%
Aphria Wellbeing GmbH Germany 100%
Marigold Projects Jamaica Limited Jamaica 95%1
ASG Pharma Ltd. Malta 100%
ColCanna S.A.S. Colombia 90%
CC Pharma Nordic ApS Denmark 75%
1974568 Ontario Ltd. Ontario, Canada 51%

 

Intragroup balances, and any unrealized gains and losses or income and expenses arising from transactions with jointly controlled entities are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the entity.

 

The Company treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Company. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognized in a separate reserve within equity attributable to the owners of the Company.

 

3.Significant accounting policies

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies used in the preparation of the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended May 31, 2020. For comparative purposes, the Company has reclassified certain immaterial items on the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position and the condensed interim consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) to conform with the current period’s presentation.

The Company holds 74,996.7 kgs of cannabis (May 31, 2020 – 50,205.9 kgs), 32,487.1 kgs of cannabis trim (May 31, 2020 – 16,092.3 kgs), 120,420.1 litres of cannabis oils or 20,942.6 kgs equivalent in various stages of production (May 31, 2020 – 124,963.0 litres or 21,732.7 kgs equivalent), 600.1 litres of cannabis oils used in softgel capsules or 104.4 kgs equivalent (May 31, 2020 – 1,669.2 litres or 290.3 kgs equivalent) and 29,835.9 litres of cannabis oils used in cannabis vape oils or 5,188.9 kgs equivalent at August 31, 2020 (May 31, 2020 – 21,707.5 litres or 3,775.2 kgs equivalent).

 

6.Biological assets

Biological assets are comprised of:

   Amount
Balance at May 31, 2019  $18,725 
Changes in fair value less costs to sell due to biological transformation   115,255 
Production costs capitalized   131,561 
Transferred to inventory upon harvest   (237,200)
Balance at May 31, 2020  $28,341 
Changes in fair value less costs to sell due to biological transformation   59,150 
Production costs capitalized   36,963 
Transferred to inventory upon harvest   (102,114)
Balance at August 31, 2020  $22,340 

The Company values cannabis plants at cost, which approximates fair value from the date of initial clipping from mother plants until half-way through the flowering cycle of the plants. Measurement of the biological transformation of the plant at fair value less costs to sell begins in the fourth week prior to harvest and is recognized evenly until the point of harvest. The number of weeks in the growing cycle is between twelve and sixteen weeks from propagation to harvest. The Company has determined the fair value less costs to sell of cannabis to be between $2.50 and $3.00 per gram, upon harvest for greenhouse produced cannabis (May 31, 2020 – $3.00 per gram) and between $3.50 and $4.00 per gram (May 31, 2020 - $4.00 per gram), upon harvest for indoor produced cannabis. The Company has determined the fair value increment on cannabis trim to be $nil per gram (May 31, 2020 - $0.01 per gram).

 

The effect of the fair value less cost to sell over and above historical cost was an increase in non-cash value of biological assets and inventory of $59,150 during the three months ended August 31, 2020 (2019 - $25,153).

Aphria Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019

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

 

The fair value of biological assets is determined using a valuation model to estimate expected harvest yield per plant applied to the estimated price per gram less processing and selling costs. Only when there is a material change from the expected fair value used for cannabis does the Company make any adjustments to the fair value used. During the period, the Company amended the fair value based on an expected lower average selling price with the release of the Company’s economy brands, which the Company is using to create demand for lower potency harvested cannabis.

 

In determining the fair value of biological assets, management has made the following estimates in this valuation model:

·       The harvest yield is between 20 grams and 60 grams per plant;

·        The selling price is between $1.50 and $6.50 per gram of cannabis;

·        Processing costs include drying and curing, testing, post-harvest overhead allocation, packaging and labelling costs between $0.30 and $0.80 per gram;

·        Selling costs include shipping, order fulfilment, patient acquisition and patient maintenance costs between $0.00 and $1.50 per gram;

 

Sales price used in the valuation of biological assets is based on the average selling price of all cannabis products and can vary based on different strains being grown as well as the proportion of sales derived from wholesale compared to retail. Selling costs vary depending on methods of selling and are considered based on the expected method of selling and the determined additional costs which would be incurred. Expected yields for the cannabis plant is also subject to a variety of factors, such as strains being grown, length of growing cycle, and space allocated for growing. Management reviews all significant inputs based on historical information obtained as well as based on planned production schedules.

 

Management has quantified the sensitivity of the inputs and determined the following:

·         Selling price per gram – a decrease in the average selling price per gram by 5% would result in the biological asset value decreasing by $490 (May 31, 2020 - $682) and inventory decreasing by $12,639 (May 31, 2020 - $9,895)

·       Harvest yield per plant – a decrease in the harvest yield per plant of 5% would result in the biological asset value decreasing by $306 (May 31, 2020 - $439)

 

These inputs are level 3 on the fair value hierarchy and are subject to volatility in market prices and several uncontrollable factors, which could significantly affect the fair value of biological assets in future periods.

HydRx Farms Ltd. (d/b/a Scientus Pharma)


On August 14, 2017, Aphria purchased $11,500 in secured convertible debentures of Scientus Pharma (“SP”). The convertible debentures bore interest at 8%, paid semi-annually, matured in two years and included the right to convert the debentures into common shares of SP at $2.75 per common share at any time before maturity. The Company agreed with SP to extend the due date to January 16, 2020. The Company maintains a first security position on all of SP’s assets. As at August 31, 2020, the convertible debentures remain unpaid as the Company is in the process of enforcing its security against the assets of SP.

 

As at August 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s secured convertible debentures was $5,000 (May 31, 2020 - $6,000), which resulted in a fair value loss for the three months ended August 31, 2020 of $(1,000) (2019 - $nil). Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company settled the note receivable for $5,000.

 

10330698 Canada Ltd. (d/b/a Starbuds)

 

On December 28, 2018, Aphria purchased $5,000 in secured convertible debentures of Starbuds. The convertible debentures bear interest at 8.5% per annum accruing daily due until maturity on December 28, 2020. The debentures are secured against the assets of Starbuds. The debentures and any accrued and unpaid interest are convertible into common shares for $0.50 per common share and mature on December 28, 2020.

 

As at August 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s secured convertible debentures was $5,018 (May 31, 2020 - $4,728), which includes $323 (May 31, 2020 - $216) of accrued interest. The remaining change resulted in a fair value gain (loss) for the three months ended August 31, 2020 of $183 (2019 - $388).

 

High Tide Inc.

 

On April 10, 2019, Aphria purchased $4,500 in unsecured convertible debentures of High Tide Inc. (“High Tide”). The convertible debentures bear interest at 10% per annum, payable annually up front in common shares of High Tide based on the 10-day volume weighted average price (the “Debentures”). The debentures mature on April 10, 2021 and are convertible into common shares of High Tide at a price of $0.75 at the option of the holder. In addition to the debentures, the Company received 6,000,000 warrants in High Tide as part of the purchase of the unsecured convertible debentures (Note 12).

 

As at August 31, 2020, the fair value of the unsecured convertible debentures was $3,957 (May 31, 2020 - $3,898), which resulted in a fair value gain (loss) for the three months ended August 31, 2020 of $59 (2019 - $78).

 

Convertible notes receivable

 

The unrealized gain (loss) on convertible notes receivable recognized in the results of operations amounts to $(758) for the three months ended August 31, 2020 (2019 - $1,155).

 

The fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: the risk-free rate of 1.25%; expected life of the convertible note; volatility of 70% based on comparable companies; forfeiture rate of nil; dividend yield of nil; and, the exercise price of the respective conversion feature.

The unsecured convertible debentures were entered into in April 2019, in the principal amount of $350,000 USD, are due in five years from issuance (the “Notes”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2019. The Notes are an unsecured obligation and ranked senior in right of payment to all indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes. The Notes will rank equal in right of payment with all liabilities that are not subordinated. The Notes are effectively junior to any secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

 

Holders of the Notes may convert all or any portion of their Notes, in multiples of $1 USD principal amount, at their option at any time between December 1, 2023 to the maturity date. The initial conversion rate for the Notes will be 106.5644 common shares of Aphria per $1 USD principal amount of Notes, which will be settled in cash, common shares of Aphria or a combination thereof, at Aphria’s election. This is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.38 per common share, subject to adjustments in certain events. In addition, holders of the Notes may convert all or any portion of their Notes, in multiples of $1 USD principal amount, at their option at any time preceding December 1, 2023, if:

(a) the last reported sales price of the common shares for at least 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

(b) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1 USD principal amount of the Notes for each trading day of the measurement period is less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common shares and the conversion rate on each such trading day;

28.Financial risk management and financial instruments

 

Financial instruments

 

The Company has classified its financial instruments as described in Note 3 of the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2020.

 

The carrying values of accounts receivable, prepaids and other current assets, bank indebtedness and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short periods to maturity.

 

The Company’s long-term debt of $26,340 is subject to fixed interest rates. The Company’s long-term debt is valued based on discounting the future cash outflows associated with the long-term debt. The discount rate is based on the incremental premium above market rates for Government of Canada securities of similar duration. In each period thereafter, the incremental premium is held constant while the Government of Canada security is based on the then current market value to derive the discount rate. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt in repayment as at August 31, 2020 was $26,112.

Level 1 quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) from observable market data
Level 3 inputs for assets and liabilities not based upon observable market data

Financial risk management

 

The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: credit; liquidity; currency rate; and, interest rate price.

 

(a)Credit risk

 

The maximum credit exposure at August 31, 2020 is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaids and other current assets, promissory notes receivable and convertible notes receivable. All cash and cash equivalents are placed with major financial institutions.

 

  Total 0-30 days 31-60 days 61-90 days 90+ days
Trade receivables                  82,532                  70,456                    9,195                          77                    2,804
    86% 11% 0% 3%

 

(b)Liquidity risk

 

As at August 31, 2020, the Company’s financial liabilities consist of bank indebtedness and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which have contractual maturity dates within one-year, long-term debt, and convertible debentures which have contractual maturities over the next five years.

 

Aphria maintains a debt service charge covenant on certain loans secured by its Aphria One facilities that is measured at year-end only. The Company believes that it has sufficient operating room with respect to its financial covenants for the next fiscal year and does not anticipate being in breach of any of its financial covenants.

 

The Company manages its liquidity risk by reviewing its capital requirements on an ongoing basis. Based on the Company’s working capital position at August 31, 2020, management regards liquidity risk to be low.

 

(c)Currency rate risk

 

As at August 31, 2020, a portion of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities held in United States Dollars (“USD”) and Euros consist of cash and cash equivalents, convertible notes receivable, and long-term investments. The Company’s objective in managing its foreign currency risk is to minimize its net exposure to foreign currency cash flows by transacting, to the greatest extent possible, with third parties in the functional currency. The Company is exposed to currency rate risk in other comprehensive income, relating to foreign subsidiaries which operate in a foreign currency. The Company does not currently use foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure of its foreign currency cash flows as management has determined that this risk is not significant at this point in time.

The Company is exposed to unrealized foreign exchange risk through its cash and cash equivalents. As at August 31, 2020, approximately $275,000 USD ($360,000 CAD) of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents was in United States dollars. A 1% change in the foreign exchange rate would result in an unrealized gain or loss of approximately $3,500.

 

(d)Interest rate price risk

 

The Company manages interest rate risk by restricting the type of investments and varying the terms of maturity and issuers of marketable securities. Varying the terms to maturity reduces the sensitivity of the portfolio to the impact of interest rate fluctuations.

 

(e)Capital management

 

The Company’s objectives when managing its capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, to meet its capital expenditures for its continued operations, and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital within a framework of acceptable risk. The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, issue new debt, or acquire or dispose of assets. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There have been no changes to the Company’s capital management approach in the year. The Company considers its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as capital.

 

29.Commitments and contingencies

 

The Company has committed purchase orders outstanding at August 31, 2020 related to capital asset expansion of $14,058, all of which are expected to be paid within the next year.

 

The following table presents the future undiscounted payment associated with capital asset expansion and lease liabilities as of August 31, 2020:

 

   Years ending August 31,
 2021   $15,651 
 2022    1,289 
 2023    1,231 
 2024    1,105 
 2025    919 
 Thereafter    1,989 
     $22,184 

 

From time to time, the Company and/or its subsidiaries may become defendants in legal actions arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of its business.

 

As of August 31, 2020, the Company was served statements of claims in class action lawsuits against the Company and certain of its officers and former officers. These claims relate to alleged misconduct in connection with the Company’s acquisitions of LATAM Holdings Inc. ("LATAM") and Nuuvera Inc., and the Company’s June 2018 securities offering. At the present time, the representative claimants have been identified and selected in both the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. claims include alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The Canadian claims include alleged statutory and common law misrepresentation and oppression. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in each of these actions. With respect to the cases commenced in the U.S., the Company pursued a motion to dismiss the U.S. claim. The Company’s motion was denied and the claim was maintained against the Company and certain of its former and current senior officers. In the U.S. action, the Company is self-insured for the costs associated with any award or damages arising from such actions and has entered into indemnity agreements with each of the directors and officers and, subject to certain exemptions, will cover any costs incurred by them in connection with any of the class action claims. Canadian insurance coverage may not be sufficient to fully cover any judgments against the Company. As at August 31, 2020, the Company has not recorded any uninsured amount related to this contingency.

 

As of July 20, 2020, a proposed class action has been commenced against a number of Canadian licensed producers including the Company and its subsidiary, Broken Coast (collectively, the “Defendants”) by Lisa Marie Langevin (the “Plaintiff”) on behalf of all persons in Canada who purchased cannabis products that were manufactured, sold, promoted, or distributed by the Defendants and consumed prior to the labelled expiry date of such products on or after June 16, 2010, if such products were used for medicinal purposes and on or after October 17, 2018, if such products were used for recreational purposes (the “Proposed Class”). The Plaintiff specifically alleges that (i) the Defendants marketed medicinal and recreational cannabis products with an advertised content of TCH and CBD that was “drastically different” (higher and lower percentages) from the actual amount in the cannabis products and (ii) The Plaintiff suggests that the plastic bottles or caps used to store the cannabis products may have absorbed or degraded the THC or CBD content. The Plaintiff seeks recovery of the money the Proposed Class spent on the Defendants’ products that did not contain what they were advertised to contain and compensatory damages for those who suffered physical or mental injuries as a result of the Defendants’ mislabelling of the products. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in each of these actions. Canadian insurance coverage may not be sufficient to fully cover any judgments against the Company. As at August 31, 2020, the Company has not recorded any uninsured amount related to this contingency.

30.Segment reporting

 

Information reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on the nature of the operations. The Company operates in three segments. 1) cannabis operations, which encompasses the production, distribution and sale of both medical and adult-use cannabis, 2) distribution operations, which encompasses the purchase and resale of products to customers. The distribution operations are carried out through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries ABP, FL Group and CC Pharma, and 3) businesses under development which encompass operations in which the Company has not received final licensing or has not commenced commercial sales from operations. Factors considered in determining the operating segments include the Company’s business activities, the management structure directly accountable to the CODM, availability of discrete financial information and strategic priorities within the organizational structure.
