Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

[unaudited] [expressed in Canadian dollars]

 
June 30, 2020 and 2019

 

1. Nature of business

FSD Pharma Inc. (“FSD” or the “Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Prismic Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Prismic”) and FSD Biosciences Inc., is focused on bioscience, including research and development ("R&D") and clinical development of synthetic cannabinoid based treatments of certain disease conditions with an aim to improve patient outcomes. The Company’s goal is for these compounds to be approved by the FDA and other international regulatory agencies as prescription medications.

FV Pharma Inc. (“FV Pharma”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company is a licensed producer of cannabis in Canada under the Cannabis Act (Canada) (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Cannabis Regulations"), the "Cannabis Act") and associated Cannabis Regulations. FV Pharma was focused on producing and extracting high-quality, hydroponic, pharmaceutical-grade cannabis. In March 2020, substantially all the assets of FV Pharma were classified as held for sale (refer to Note 4).

The Company’s registered office is located at 1 Rossland Road West, Suite 202, Ajax, Ontario, L1Z 1Z2.

On October 16, 2019, the Company completed a reverse share split of 201 to 1 Class B Shares. All share and per share amounts for all periods presented in these financial statements have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect the reverse share split.

Impact of COVID-19

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19,” has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The extent to which COVID-19 and any other pandemic or public health crisis impacts the Company’s business, affairs, operations, financial condition, liquidity, availability of credit and results of operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with any meaningful precision, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 virus and the actions required to contain the COVID-19 virus or remedy its impact, among others. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company and its operating subsidiaries in future periods.

June 30, 2020 and 2019

In order to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 the Company implemented a systematic and orderly scale back of FV Pharma's cultivation operations and a furlough policy for its workforce, except for certain personnel working staggered shifts to ensure continuity of operations and licensure effective March 23, 2020. The Company has also closed its facility to collaboration partners and ceased their operations. The impact of COVID-19 did not have a material impact on the financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

2. Basis of presentation

[a] Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (“financial statements”) were prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as those used in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, certain disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) have been omitted or condensed. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

These financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on August 7, 2020.

[b] Functional currency and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company. The functional currencies of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries are as follows:

FSD Biosciences

United States Dollars

Prismic

United States Dollars

FV Pharma

Canadian Dollars

[c] Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, consistent with those disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and described in these financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future. 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.

3. Acquisition of Prismic Pharmaceutical

On June 28, 2019, the Company closed the acquisition of Prismic by acquiring all of the issued and outstanding Prismic Shares from the holders thereof. Prismic is a U.S.-based specialty research and development pharmaceutical company that is developing non-addictive prescription drugs for the treatment of pain and inflammation. Prismic’s goal is to address the opioid crisis based on formulations utilizing micro-PEA's complimentary effect on certain drugs used to impact the body’s endocannabinoid system.

It was determined that the acquisition of Prismic did not qualify as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations [“IFRS 3”] and therefore it was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were identified and the purchase consideration was allocated based on the relative fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

The total consideration for the purchase of Prismic was $20,887,209. The purchase consideration consisted of $16,431,818 of Class B subordinate voting shares, $2,567,305 of share options and $1,888,086 of warrants. The fair value of the Class B subordinate voting shares was determined based on a total of 510,940 shares issued and a fair value of $32.16 per share, which reflects the share price on the date of acquisition. The fair value of the 89,898 share options and 67,598 warrants issued as part of the consideration were determined using a Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following assumptions:

4. Assets held for sale

In March 2020, the Company decided to focus its efforts and resources on the pharmaceutical business and has initiated the process to sell its Cobourg facility and exit the medical cannabis industry. The Company expects that the sale of the Cobourg Facility will be completed within the next 12 months and is actively marketing the Facility for sale.

Assets held for sale consists of the Cobourg facility, all biological assets and inventory on hand, and equipment related to the Cobourg Facility operations (collectively the “Disposal Group”). It is anticipated that no liabilities of the Company will be transferred as part of any proposed transaction. Results of operations related to the Cobourg facility are reported as discontinued operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

June 30, 2020 and 2019

Discontinued operations are reported when a component of the Company, representing a separate major line of business or area of operations with clearly distinguishable cash flows, has been disposed of or is held for sale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. Discontinued operations are reported as a separate element of net income or loss on the consolidated statement of net and comprehensive loss for both the current and comparative periods. When a disposal group is classified as held for sale, assets and liabilities are aggregated and presented as separate line items, respectively, on the consolidated statement of financial position. Comparative periods are not restated on the consolidated statement of financial position. Assets held for sale are not depreciated and are measured at the lower of carrying value and fair value less costs to sell.

In accordance with IFRS 5 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, the assets held for sale were assessed for impairment based on fair value less costs to sell. The fair value was measured using the price at which the Company expects to receive for the disposal group less estimates for the costs of disposal. The fair value less costs to sell was higher than the carrying value of the disposal group resulting in recognition of the resulting group at carrying value.

Assets held for sale as at June 30, 2020 consisted of the following:

    $  
Inventories   262,443  
Property, plant and equipment   11,660,307  
    11,922,750

(i) Pharmadrug Inc. (Formerly known as “Aura Health Inc.”)

On April 16, 2019, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Aura Health Inc. (“Aura”). Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, FSD acquired 13,562,387 common shares at $0.2212 per share in the capital of Aura in exchange for the issuance of 65,577 Class B shares of the Company at $45.75 for a total value of $3,000,000. The FSD shares issued to Aura were subject to a purchase price adjustment, such that FSD would be required to issue additional shares to Aura should the weighted average trading price of FSD’s shares fall below the issue price. As the number of additional shares to be issued under the agreement were dependent on the FSD share price, it was determined that this created a derivative liability. As a result of the decline in the Company’s share price, on September 20, 2019, 61,892 additional Class B shares of the Company were issued to Aura in settlement for the derivative liability. In 2019, Aura Health Inc. changed its name change to Pharmadrug Inc.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company sold 10,317,387 common share for gross proceeds of $727,032.

Subsequent to June 30, 2020, the Company sold the remaining 3,245,000 common shares of Pharamadrug for gross proceeds of $139,751.

(ii) Cannara Biotech Inc. (“Cannara”)

On February 5, 2020, the Company sold its investment of 85,003,750 Class B shares of Cannara for total cash proceeds of $7,743,492. The Company recognized a loss on sale of investment of $1,325,546.

(iii) Clover Cannastrip Thin Film Technologies Corp. (“Clover”)

On September 6, 2018, the Company subscribed for $1,500,000 of equity units in a brokered private placement by Clover. The equity investment is measured at fair value through profit or loss. Clover is not a publicly traded company therefore, the fair value was classified as level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. As at December 31, 2019 and as at June 30, 2020, the fair value was determined to be $nil based on the financial position of Clover and the Company’s ability to recover its investment.

(iv) HUGE Shops

The investment includes 17,333,333 shares based on the December 2018 subscription price of $0.075 per share. The equity investment is measured at fair value through profit or loss. Huge Shops is not a publicly traded company therefore, the fair value was classified as level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. As at June 30, 2020, the Company determined the best information to assess the fair value of the investment was based on movement of comparable public companies’ share prices and cannabis sector index, resulting in decline in the fair value of the investment of 40% from December 31, 2019. Comparable companies were determined in looking at product offering, relative size of operations, geographical market and other factors. A change in this assumption of plus or minus 10% would result in a corresponding change in fair value of the investment of approximately $30,665.

SciCann Therapeutics Inc. is not a publicly traded company therefore, the fair value was classified as level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. As at June 30, 2020, the Company determined the best information to assess the fair value of the investment was based on movement of comparable public companies’ share prices and cannabis sector index, resulting in decline in the fair value of investment of 19% from December 31, 2019. Comparable companies were determined in looking at product offering, relative size of operations, geographical market and other factors. A change in this assumption of plus or minus 10% would result in a corresponding change in fair value of the investment of approximately $13,766.

(vi) Solarvest BioEnergy Inc. (“Solarvest”)

On May 7, 2019, the Company acquired 3,000,000 common shares, 3,000,000 warrants and a convertible debenture at a principal amount of $2,400,000 for a total fair value of $3,000,000 of Solarvest in exchange for 49,751 Class B common shares of the Company with a fair value of $2,500,000 based on a market price of $50.25 and recognition of a derivative liability of $500,000. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has guaranteed a minimum liquidation value of its shares to Solarvest of $3,000,000 resulting in recognition of derivative liability. If the liquidation value of the Company’s shares is below $3,000,000, the Company would be required to issue additional shares for the difference in actual value realized and the minimum guaranteed value.

As at December 31, 2019, the fair value of the derivative liability was $2,646,269. The fair value was determined based on the additional common shares of the Company required to be issued to Solarvest to meet the minimum liquidation value of $3,000,000. On February 4, 2020, the Company issued 225,371 shares to Solarvest to settle the derivative liability. The fair value of the shares issued was $1,802,968 resulting in recognition of a gain of $843,301 on settlement of the derivative liability.

As at June 30, 2020, the fair value of the shares was determined based on the quoted market price of the shares at $0.11 per share. The fair value of the associated warrants is based on the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: exercise price $0.25, risk free rate 0.25%, expected volatility 108%, expected life 0.85 years and expected dividend yield of 0%. Fair value of the convertible debenture is calculated as the fair value of shares if converted at SVS share price as at June 30, 2020 of $0.11. The shares have been classified as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy–quoted market price, and the warrants and convertible debenture have been classified as level 2 – valuation technique with observable market inputs.

12. Share-based compensation

The Company has established a share option plan (the “Option Plan”) for directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The Company’s Board of Directors determines, among other things, the eligibility of individuals to participate in the Option Plan, the term and vesting periods, and the exercise price of options granted to individuals under the Option Plan.

Each share option converts into one common share of the Company on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the individual on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry.

Share-based payment arrangements

Heritage Building Restoration Commitment

The Company has a commitment to restore the designated heritage building on the Company’s premises. The estimated cost of remaining restoration work to be completed is $388,000.

Contingencies

Legal matters

From time to time, the Company is named as a party to claims or involved in proceedings, including legal, regulatory and tax related, in the ordinary course of its business. While the outcome of these matters may not be estimable at the reporting date, the Company makes provisions, where possible, for the estimated outcome of such claims or proceedings. Should a loss result from the resolution of any claims or proceedings that differs from these estimates, the difference will be accounted for as a charge to profit or loss in that period.

Environmental

Management believes that there are no probable environmental related liabilities that will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or operating results of the Company.

Claims from suppliers

A dismissed contractor commenced a lien action combined with a breach of contract action in the Cobourg Superior Court of Justice in early 2019 claiming approximately $1,700,000 in various purported damages, with the claim for lien component of $188,309 being registered on November 26, 2018. The Company is defending the action and has taken steps to obtain particulars and inspect documents of the plaintiff which remain unaddressed to date. The Company has paid $235,387 to the Cobourg Superior Court to vacate the lien from title for which the funds stand both as security for the lien claim as well as its costs with the Cobourg Superior Court of Justice. The Company has recorded a provision of $50,000 as at June 30, 2020 in relation to this matter.

Former employee

FSD hired an individual by way of employment agreement. The individual’s employment was subsequently terminated in the probationary period due to non-performance/cause in February 2019. The individual retained legal counsel in or around February 15, 2019 demanding that he be provided (i) unpaid wages; (ii) unpaid holiday pay, (iii) payment for wrongful dismissal (one week) and (iv) breach of contract.

The Company is of the view that the outcome will be unfavourable to the Company. The Company has a provision of $105,180 in relation to the claimed amounts for unpaid wages and unpaid holiday pay. No amounts have been provisioned in respect of the claims for wrongful dismissal and breach of contract, as the Company is of the position that they will be able to successfully defend themselves from these claims.

On July 29, 2020, a judgment was issued ordering the Company to pay unpaid wages and unpaid holiday pay.

Class Action

On February 22, 2019, a shareholder in FSD commenced a proposed class action proceeding against the Company by issuing a statement of claim in the Ontario Superior Court. Amongst other causes of action, the individual seeks leave to bring a claim pursuant to s.138 of the Ontario Securities Act, alleging the Company made statements containing misrepresentations related to the build-out of the Company’s Cobourg facility.

June 30, 2020 and 2019

The plaintiff’s motion for leave to bring the statutory claim under section 138.3 of the Securities Act was heard in court on June 23, 2020. The trail judge has reserved his decision. FSD have not been given a date by the court on which the decision will be released. The ultimate outcome of the matter cannot be reliably determined at this time and no provision has been recorded for this matter as at June 30, 2020.

Auxly Cannabis Group Inc.

On March 3, 2018, FSD entered into a Definitive Strategic Alliance and Streaming Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Auxly Cannabis Group Inc. (“Auxly”). On February 6, 2019, the Company delivered to Auxly a Notice of Default, thereby terminating the Agreement effective immediately. Subsequent to the issuance of the Notice of Default, Auxly sent a Notice of Default to the Company on February 6, 2019 in response. To date, neither party has taken further legal action against the counter party.

To fund the development, Auxly purchased 37,313 Class B shares for the aggregate of $7,500,000 from the Company’s treasury by way of private placement, which funds were placed in trust to be spent on construction and development costs. The funds were placed in a trust account to be administered by Auxly. Due to the termination and subsequent negotiations, it is indeterminable at this point as to the amount, if any, of these funds will be released to the Company. Should any funds be released to the Company, those amounts will be recognized in future periods.
