GENERAL INFORMATION

   

Nature of Operations and Going Concern

   

4Front Holdings LLC (“Holdings”) is a Delaware limited liability company and was founded on September 15, 2016, with the contribution of the assets and liabilities of 4Front Ventures, Inc. (“Ventures”) (collectively the “Company”). The Company owns and operates, manages, advises and licenses its intellectual property (i.e. standard operating procedures and know how) to licensed cannabis facilities in state-legal markets in the United States. On November 13, 2018 the Company acquired Healthy Pharms, Inc (“HPI”) an operator of a licensed cannabis production facility and a dispensary in Georgetown, Massachusetts and a licensed dispensary in Cambridge, Massachusetts. On February 22, 2019, the Company acquired PHX Interactive, LLC, a management company and lender which manages and lends to a licensed cannabis dispensary in Phoenix, Arizona. On April 15, 2019, the Company acquired Om of Medicine, LLC an operator of a licensed cannabis dispensary in Ann Arbor, Michigan. As of March 31, 2019, the Company owns four dispensaries in Illinois, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, and two production facilities in Illinois and Massachusetts. The Company manages one dispensary in Maryland and one dispensary in Arizona. Additionally, the Company expects to open one company owned dispensary in Maryland in mid- 2019, and to manage two additional dispensaries in Maryland and a vertically -integrated dispensary and production facility in Massachusetts by the end of 2019.

   

On March 1, 2019, the Company signed a definitive agreement with Cannex Capital Holdings, Inc. (Cannex) for a business combination, whereby the former securityholders of Cannex and 4Front will become securityholders in the combined company (the Resulting Issuer). Cannex leases real estate and provides packaging, IP and consulting services to cannabis cultivation facilities in the state of Washington. Cannex and 4Front are arm’s length parties. In connection with the transaction, an application has been made to list the Resulting Issuer’s subordinate voting shares for trading on the Canadian Security Exchange (CSE). The transaction was approved by shareholders of Cannex and the CSE has conditionally approved the resulting issuer for listing. The 4Front members are expected to approve the transaction and the transaction is expected to close in late July 2019. The issuance of Multiple Voting Shares of the Resulting Issuer will give 4Front key shareholders voting control of the Resulting Issuer. Cannex and 4Front have agreed to a termination fee applicable under certain circumstances of $10 million.

   

The Company operates a consulting business that assists customers with acquiring cannabis licenses and operating cannabis facilities. The Company has tightened the focus of its professional services resources to more squarely support the advancement of its own license interests and its legacy clients in key markets, while providing more limited services to select new clients. Revenue from the consulting business will continue due to ongoing fees from existing contracts.

   

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the “financial statements”) have been prepared using accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due. Due to losses during the Company’s current growth phase, the Company has been required to secure sufficient financing to fund its working capital requirements.

GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued)

   

When the Company made its decision to merge with Cannex in November 2018, the Company elected to postpone its internal fundraising initiatives, which included a substantially negotiated secured promissory note exceeding $15 million in proceeds. In place of this note, an $8 million line of credit was obtained from Cannex (the note was subsequently increased to $13 million see Note 21). The Cannex loan is short-term, which results in a working capital deficit.

   

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company had a $4.9 million loss, negative cash flow from operations, and a working capital deficit at March 31, 2019. The possibility of the cancelation of the Cannex merger creates a material uncertainty and casts significant doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due unless it is able to raise sufficient funds to enable it to reach profitability, and, accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was inappropriate, and these adjustments could be material.

   

Management believes that if the Cannex merger is cancelled, it will have time to execute existing fundraising initiatives and to repay any debt that comes due in the next year. Management has demonstrated its ability to raise capital and to secure loans in the past. Nevertheless, there is no assurance that these initiatives will be successful or sufficient.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   

Significant accounting policies for the Company, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates are as follows:


(a)

Basis of Preparation

   

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

   

The financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and IFRIC. The accounting policies and critical estimates used in preparing these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

   

These financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Managers of the Company on July 9, 2019.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


(b)

Basis of Measurement

   

These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments and biological assets that are measured at fair value as described herein.

   
(c)

Functional Currency

   

The Company and its affiliates’ functional currency is the United States (“U.S.”) dollar. These financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.

   
(d)

Basis of Consolidation

   

These financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its affiliates . Affiliates 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 is exposed to the variable returns from its activities. The financial statements of affiliates are included in the financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

   

The accompanying financial statements include all of the Company’s affiliates in which the Company has control, most often because the Company holds a majority voting interest.

   

Illinois Grown Medicine LLC (IGM) and Harborside Illinois Grown Medicine Inc. (Harborside IGM) are consolidated affiliates because an executive of the Company owns 60% of the entities. The executive has assigned to the Company control over the financial and operating policies of the entities and has assigned to the Company a beneficial interest in 60% of the income or loss of the entities.

   

The Company reevaluates whether there is a controlling financial interest in these entities when the voting rights change.

(e)

Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions

   

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future period affected. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to these financial statements have been set out in Note 2 of the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

   

The Company has adopted IFRS 16 - Leases (‘‘IFRS 16’’) with the date of initial application of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 — Leases (‘‘IAS 17’’) (accounting standard in effect for those periods).

   

IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, i.e. the customer (‘lessee’) and the supplier (‘lessor’). The standard introduces a single, on-balance sheet recognition and measurement model for lessees, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Lessees recognize a right-of-use asset representing its control of and right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make future lease payments.

   

Right-of-use assets

   

At commencement date, the Company has measured the right-of-use asset at cost which comprises of:


 

the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;

 

any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;

 

any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and

 

an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are to produce inventories. The lessee incurs the obligation for those costs either at the commencement date or as a consequence of having used the underlying asset during a particular period.

There are no dismantling, removal and restoration costs included in the cost of the right-of-use asset as management has not incurred an obligation for those costs.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date, the Company measured the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


(f)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

   

The lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not paid at the commencement date:


 

fixed payments (including in- substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

 

variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

 

amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

 

the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

 

payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.

Subsequent Measurements

After the commencement date, the Company recognized depreciation and impairment of the right-of-use asset in profit or loss. The Company also recognized in profit or loss the interest on the lease liability. There were no variable lease payments which were not included in the measurement of the lease liability.

Exemptions and practical expedients

IFRS 16 permits the use of exemptions and practical expedients. The Company applied the following recognition exemptions and practical expedients:

 

grandfather lease definition for existing contracts at the date of initial application;

 

exclude low-value and short-term leases from IFRS 16 lease accounting;

 

use portfolio application for leases with similar characteristics, such as vehicle and equipment leases;

 

apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics at the date of initial application;

 

exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application;

 

use hindsight in determining lease term at the date of initial application

The financial impact of applying the standard resulted in a $4,634,658 increase of in right-of-use assets, an increase of $4,634,658 in lease liability, a $228,638 adjustment to retained earnings, a $228,638 and a decrease to deferred rent. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities was 10.25% .

INVENTORY

   

The Company’s inventory includes the following at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:


      2019     2018  
               
  Raw Materials - Harvested Cannabis $  209,231   $  247,588  
               
  Work in Process – Flower and Extract   2,066,007     3,437,445  
               
  Finished Goods – Packaged Products   2,805,898     343,473  
               
  Total Inventory $  5,081,136   $  4,028,506  

Raw material is harvested cannabis where the flower has not been removed. Work in Process is processed bulk flower and processed cannabis oil. Finished goods are ready for sale and include purchased and manufactured packaged flower, pre-rolls, vape cartridges, edibles, and paraphernalia.

Cannabis inventory that is grown and manufactured by the Company is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is the value at harvest, plus cost to complete, less cost to sell. Cost is determined by using the average cost method. The Company reviews inventory for obsolete, redundant and slow moving goods and any such inventory identified is written down to net realizable value.

Inventory that is purchased from third parties is valued at the lower of net realizable value or cost plus certain costs to purchase the inventory.

BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

   

Biological assets consist of live cannabis plants. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, the changes in the carrying value of biological assets are shown below.

   

Biological Assets


      March 31, 2019     December 31,2018  
  Beginning balance $  755,309   $  410,768  
  Costs to grow harvested and live plants   1,452,785     2,000,144  
  Net change in fair value less costs to sell due to biological transformation   535,169     418,355  
  Transferred to inventory upon harvest   (1,987,156 )   (2,073,958 )
               
  Ending balance $  756,107   $  755,309  

The Company values its biological assets at the end of each reporting period at fair value less costs to sell and complete. Average harvest yields for the first six months of 2019 were used to value plants at March 31, 2019. The cost to bring each live plant to harvest was estimated based on actual costs to grow plants in the first quarter of 2019. The average sales price of pre-rolls (which was the lowest price for flower products) of cannabis flower at the HPI dispensaries was used as the estimated sales price of harvested flower for HPI. For IGM, the lowest actual wholesale price of cannabis sold in 2019 through April was used. Selling cost was estimated based on actual selling costs at the HPI dispensaries and estimated wholesale selling costs for IGM. Using the age of the plant and the harvest date of each plant, a valuation model was used to determine the value of each live plant at March 31, 2019.

The significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of cannabis plants at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:

    March 31, 2019     December 31, 2018  
    HPI     IGM     HPI     IGM  
Average selling price of flower per gram $  9.45   $  5.00   $ 10.25   $ 5.00  
Post harvesting processing costs per gram $  0.66   $  0.25   $ 0.79   $ 0.25  
Selling costs per gram $  1.83   $  0.25   $ 3.36   $ 0.25  
Yield per plant in grams   84     157     77     167  
Number of growing days before harvest   108     75     108     75

BIOLOGICAL ASSETS (Continued)

   

At March 31, 2019 management has quantified the sensitivity of the inputs and has determined the following:


 

A decrease in the selling price per gram by 5% would result in the biological assets value decreasing by $39,302.

 

A decrease in the harvest yield per plant of 5% would result in the biological assets value decreasing by $33,297.

 

An increase in the number of growing days to harvest of 5% would result in the biological assets value decreasing by $56,546

At December 31, 2018 management has quantified the sensitivity of the inputs and has determined the following:

 

A decrease in the selling price per gram by 5% would result in the biological assets value decreasing by $54,661.

 

A decrease in the harvest yield per plant of 5% would result in the biological assets value decreasing by $37,765.

 

An increase in the number of growing days to harvest of 5% would result in the biological assets value decreasing by $40,179

Biological assets are measured using Level 3 inputs, and therefore are subject to volatility and several uncontrollable factors, which could significantly affect the fair value of biological assets in future periods.

All of the plants are to be harvested as agricultural produce (cannabis flower) and at March 31, 2019, the biological assets were on average 56% completed for HPI plants, and 46% for IGM plants.

Mother plants, or bearer plants, are plants grown for the purpose of taking cuttings in order to grow additional plants of the same type as the bearer plant. Bearer plants are critical to the success of the business, however are not measured for accounting purposes. Bearer plants are plants that once mature are held strictly to grow produce over their useful life.

Unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in fair value less cost to sell during the period are included in the results of operations in the related period.

ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARIES

   

On February 22, 2019, the Company completed an acquisition of PHX Interactive, LLC., an entity that manages and lends to Greens Goddess Products, Inc., a cannabis license holder and dispensary operator in Phoenix, Arizona. The purchase price was $6 million and $3.35 million was paid in cash and $2.5 million was paid in kind by issuing 5,136.11 Class F units. The remaining $150,000 is held by the Company and will be used to pay income taxes for 2018 or will be paid to the sellers. In March 2019, the Company settled certain legal matters on behalf of the sellers for approximately $350,000. The Company has agreed to defend certain other legal actions against the sellers and PHX Interactive, LLC. and will record a liability for the estimated costs to defend and settle these legal actions. This legal liability will be included in the purchase price accounting for the acquisition.

   

The transaction is accounted for by the Company as a business combination, with the results included in the Company’s net earnings from the date of acquisition. The assets acquired and the liabilities assumed have been recorded by the Company at fair value as determined by the Company.

   

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation:


Cash $  101,567  
Inventory   90,754  
Property and Equipment   72,754  
Deposit   2,000  
Goodwill   6,225,044  
Accounts Payable   (137,428 )
Accrued Liabilities   ( 14,765 )
       
Fair value of net assets acquired $  6,339,917  
       
Cash Consideration $  3,359,857  
Payables issued   305,060  
Equity paid in kind   2,675,000  
       
Fair value of consideration $  6,339,917  

Prior to the acquisition, PHX Interactive LLC did not formally charge Greens Goddess Inc. for management services provided. Thus the Pro-forma Results for Holdings and PHX Interactive LLC are not meaningful and are not included.

Acquisition costs, of $40,587, were excluded from the consideration transferred, and were included in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in the period in which they were incurred.

The purchase price allocation is preliminary and the Company has up to one year to make adjustments to the purchase price allocation.

NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

   

Non-controlling interest is shown as a component of total members’ equity on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, and the share of income (loss) attributable to non- controlling interest is shown as a component of net income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

   

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, non- controlling interests contributed $0 and $22,500 to 4Front PM InvestCo LLC. This capital contribution was required per the operating agreement.

   
14.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

   

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company granted 2,500 and 0 in new Class C units, respectively The Company recognized share-based compensation of approximately $145,709 and $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, for these new Class C units.

   

The fair value of the Class C units granted in 2019 and 2018 was estimated using the Black- Scholes model, using various assumptions regarding (a) the expected holding period, (b) the risk-free rate of return, (c) expected dividend yield on the underlying units, (d) the expected volatility in the fair value of the Company’s equity, and was calculated based on the grant agreement terms, which included a hurdle amount to be exceeded before participation in returns.

   

The expected holding period represents the period of time that the units are expected to be outstanding. The units were assumed to remain outstanding until the Company experienced a change in control of ownership (CIC) or an initial public offering (IPO). The units vest based on continued employment with the Company. The risk-free rate of return for periods approximating the expected holding period of the units was based on the U.S. constant maturity treasuries yield in effect at the grant date. A dividend yield was assumed based on the 6% preferred return for the Class A units. Because the Company’s equity was privately held and was not traded in an active market, the Company used the historical volatility of the share values of publicly traded companies within similar industries as the Company as a surrogate for the expected volatility of equity

   

The key assumptions used for grants awarded in 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

   

Expected holding period – 5 years and 1 years for grants on or after November 28, 2018

   

Risk–free rate of return – 1.2%

   

Expected volatility – 70.0%

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

   

Share-based compensation cost is recognized by amortizing the grant-date fair value of the share based awards, less estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each award. Share-based compensation is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Total share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $459,180 and $121,930, respectively. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there was approximately $1,121,000 and $1,264,000 respectively of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding share-based awards, which is expected to be recognized subsequent to March 31, 2019. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for estimated forfeitures.

Related party transactions

   

The Company has issued notes receivable to certain related parties that hold or have applied for cannabis licenses or that have secured real estate that can be used for a cannabis facility. The Company’s strategy is to provide financing and real estate to related parties that own cannabis licenses where the Company has an economic interest through contracts. When related party cannabis operations open, cash flow is expected to be used to repay the loans and accrued interest. The Company has evaluated the value of the net assets of these related parties, including the cannabis licenses, and has determined that the value of the net assets is in excess of the loans and accrued interest outstanding at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The details of these notes receivable to related parties are as follows:

   

The Company holds notes receivable from Mission MA Inc. which is related because executives of the Company sit on the board of directors. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, principal on the notes receivable from Mission MA Inc. totaled $9,550,086 and $8,198,446, respectively, and accrued interest totaled $1,368,564 and $995,047 . Mission MA Inc. has used the proceeds from the notes to build a cannabis dispensary and a cultivation facility in Worcester Massachusetts and opened the dispensary to medical patients in May 2019. They are expected to receive an adult use license in the third quarter of 2019.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

   

Contingencies – The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of local and state regulation. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on its operations, or losses of permits that could result in the Company ceasing operations. While management of the Company believes that the Company is in compliance with applicable local and state regulation at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, cannabis regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations. As a result, the Company may be subject to regulatory fines, penalties, or restrictions in the future.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

   

Cannabis is still considered a Schedule 1 substance under the Controlled Substance Act. As such, there is an inherent risk related to the federal government’s position on cannabis; additionally, the risk exists, due to the Company’s business in cannabis, that third party service providers could suspend or withdraw services and as well as the risk that regulatory bodies could impose certain restrictions on the issuer’s ability to operate in the U.S.; however, the Company has deemed it not reasonable to estimate a potential liability related to the possible enforcement of laws against the medical cannabis industry.

   

The Company is currently in a dispute with regulators in Massachusetts regarding the transfer of a cannabis license for a dispensary. The Company believes that it is in compliance and expects to settle the dispute by the end of 2019.

   

Legal Matters – The Company is involved in certain disputes arising in the ordinary course of business. Such disputes, taken in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

   

During 2017, the Company was in a legal dispute with two former consulting clients whom the Company performed services for since 2015. The parties agreed to arbitration, and a final decision by a Panel of the American Arbitration Association on November 27, 2018, has found that one of the consulting clients is liable to the Company in the amount of $5.5 million and the other consulting client is liable to the Company in the amount of $3.8 million. The $3.8 million was paid in April 2019 and the $3.8 million was recorded in Other Income in the 2018 consolidated statement of operations. Due to uncertainty regarding payment of the $5.5 million, the Company has not recognized an asset for the damages for this decision.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

   

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, other receivables, notes receivable and accrued interest from related parties, accounts payable, other current liabilities, notes payable, notes payable to related parties, and convertible notes. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

   

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

   

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

   

There have been no transfers between fair value levels during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the year ending December 31, 2018.
