Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

(Unaudited – 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 (British Columbia) on December 21, 2006. The Company’s shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ACB”, on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “ACB”, and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “21P”.

 

The head office and principal address of the Company 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 and distribution of cannabis in Canada pursuant to the Cannabis Act, the distribution of wholesale medical cannabis in the European Union pursuant to the German Medicinal Products Act and German Narcotic Drugs Act, and the production of medical cannabis in Denmark under the Danish Medicines Act. Through its recent acquisitions (Note 12), the Company expanded its business to include research and development, the production and sale of indoor cultivation systems, and the production and sale of hemp related food products.

 

Aurora does not engage in any U.S. cannabis-related activities as defined in Canadian Securities Administrators Staff Notice 51-352. While the Company previously held an interest in a U.S. based company, Australis Holdings LLP (“Australis Holdings” or “AHL”)(Note 11(a)), AHL has not engaged in any cannabis-related activities for the periods presented. AHL was spun-out to Aurora shareholders as part of the Australis Capital Inc. spin-out completed on September 19, 2018 (Note 6(b)).

 

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments

 

(a)Basis of presentation

 

The condensed interim consolidated 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements. The accounting policies and critical estimates used in preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2018, except for the adoption of new accounting standards described in Note 2(f).

 

The Company has reclassified certain immaterial items on the comparative condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position and the condensed interim consolidated statement of comprehensive income to conform with current period’s presentation.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 9, 2018.

 

(b)Basis of consolidation

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries with intercompany balances and transactions eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are those entities over which Aurora has the power over the investee, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Judgements (Continued)

 

(c)Basis of measurement

 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, biological assets and acquisition related contingent consideration which are measured at fair value.

 

(d)Functional and presentation of foreign currency

 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. The functional currencies of the Company, its subsidiaries and associates are as follows:

 

Aurora Deutschland, CanniMed Germany, Agropro and Borela are the European Euro;

Aurora Nordic is the Danish Krone;

Australis Holdings LLP and CTT Pharmaceutical Holdings Ltd. are the U.S. dollar;

Cann Group Limited is the Australian dollar; and

Aurora and its remaining subsidiaries and associates are the Canadian dollar.

 

(e)Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.

 

Significant judgements, estimates and assumptions within these condensed interim consolidated financial statements remain the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2018 with the exception of the fair value of Australis Capital shares and warrants (Note 6(b)).

 

(f)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 will be recognized in retained earnings as of July 1, 2018 and comparatives will not be restated.

 

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, or (iii) at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Amortized cost

 

Financial assets classified and measured at amortized cost are those assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are SPPI. Financial assets classified at amortized cost are measured using the effective interest method.

 

Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”)

 

Financial assets classified and measured at FVTOCI are those assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are SPPI.

 

This classification includes certain equity instruments where IFRS 9 allows an entity to make an irrevocable election to classify the equity instruments, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that would otherwise be measured at FVTPL to present subsequent changes in FVTOCI.

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Judgements (Continued)

 

(f)New or Amended Standards Effective July 1, 2018 (continued)

 

(i)IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (continued)

 

Fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)

 

Financial assets classified and measured at FVTPL are those assets that do not meet the criteria to be classified at amortized cost or at FVTOCI. This category includes debt instruments whose cash flow characteristics are not SPPI or are not held within a business model whose objective is either to collect contractual cash flows, or to both collect contractual cash flows and sell the financial asset.

 

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 Company has contingent consideration payables arising from business combinations which are measured at fair value at initial recognition and subsequently at FVTPL.

 

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
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 notes Amortized cost Amortized cost
Contingent consideration payable FVTPL FVTPL

 

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 statement of financial position. Under IFRS 9, equity investments require a designation, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, between recording both unrealized and realized gains and losses either through (i) other comprehensive income (“OCI”) with no recycling to profit and loss or (ii) profit and loss. On adoption of IFRS 9, the Company elected to measure its equity investments in Radient Technologies Inc., Micron Waste Technologies Inc., and Choom Holdings Inc., which are classified as marketable securities on the statement of financial position, at FVTOCI as these equity investments are for long-term strategic purposes. During the period ended September 30, 2018, the Company’s additions to marketable securities were also elected to be classified at FVTOCI, including its investments in The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. and Australis Capital Inc. (Note 6). The FVTOCI election is made upon initial recognition and once made is irrevocable. Gains and losses on these instruments including when derecognized or sold are recorded in equity and are not subsequently reclassified to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). On adoption of IFRS 9 on July 1, 2018, there was no change in the carrying value of the financial instruments on transition from IAS 39.

 

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 accounts receivable excluding taxes 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 the debtors and other factors. The carrying amount of trade receivables is reduced for any expected credit losses through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. At the point when the Company is satisfied that no recovery of the amount owing is possible, the amount is considered not recoverable 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 at amortized cost.

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Judgements (Continued)

 

(f)New or Amended Standards Effective July 1, 2018 (continued)

 

(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 will be recognized in retained earnings as of July 1, 2018 and comparatives will not be restated.

 

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 contract-based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognized:

 

1.Identifying the contract with a customer;
2.Identifying the performance obligation(s) in the contract;
3.Determining the transaction price;
4.Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and
5.Recognizing revenue when or as the Company satisfies the performance obligation(s).

 

Under IFRS 15, revenue from the sale of cannabis are generally recognized at a point in time when control over the goods have been transferred to the customer. Payment is typically due prior to shipment and is recognized into revenue upon the satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and transfers control upon delivery and acceptance by the customer, the timing of which is consistent with the Company’s previous revenue recognition policy under IAS 18.

 

Referral revenues earned from Licensed Producers through CanvasRx Inc. are recognized over time. Advance payments are typically due at contract inception and is recognized into revenue on a monthly basis over a specified period of time that the referred patient remains an active purchaser of medical cannabis with the Licensed Producer. This timing of recognition is consistent with the Company’s previous revenue recognition policy under IAS 18.

 

Construction service revenues earned through Aurora Larssen Projects Ltd. are recognized over a period of time as the performance obligations for design, engineering and construction consulting services are completed. Payment is typically due upon the issuance of the invoice for the completed performance obligation. This timing of recognition is consistent with the Company’s previous revenue recognition policy under IAS 11 where revenue was recognized based on the stage of completion.

 

Contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts are classified as deferred revenue on the statement of financial position and represents the entity’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration from the customer. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, $763 of revenue recognized in the period was included in deferred revenue as at June 30, 2018.

 

Receivables earned from the satisfaction of performance obligations but were not billed at the reporting date are classified as contract asset receivables and are transferred to trade receivables when the rights become unconditional. Contract asset receivables primarily relate to the Company’s right to consideration for work completed from design, engineering and construction consulting services.

 

Incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer are capitalized if the Company expects to recover those costs and are amortized into operating expenses over the life of a contract on a rational, systematic basis consistent with the pattern of the transfer of goods or services to which the asset relates. The Company had no capitalized incremental costs of obtaining a customer contract on adoption of IFRS 15 or as at September 30, 2018.

 

Based on the Company’s assessment, the adoption of this new standard had no impact on the amounts recognized in its condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Judgements (Continued)

 

(g)Recent accounting pronouncements

 

The following IFRS standards have been recently issued by the IASB. Pronouncements that are not applicable or where it has been determined do not have a significant impact to the Company have been excluded herein.

 

IFRS 16 Leases

 

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases, which will replace IAS 17 Leases. This standard introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than twelve months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The standard will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier application permitted for entities that apply IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers at or before the date of initial adoption of IFRS 16. The Company intends to adopt IFRS 16 on July 1, 2019 and is currently assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 3 Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company held $nil (June 30, 2018 - $13,398) restricted cash in a legal trust.

 

Note 4 Short-term Investments

 

Short-term investments held at September 30, 2018 consist of an aggregate of $1,240 (June 30, 2018 - $990) in guaranteed investment certificates (“GIC”). The GICs are restricted and held as security against the Company’s corporate credit cards.

(a)The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (“TGOD”)

 

At June 30, 2018, the Company held 39,674,584 common shares representing 17% interest on an undiluted basis and 19,837,292 share purchase warrants and milestone options of TGOD. Of the 19,837,292 share purchase warrants, 16,666,667 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. As a result of the Company’s holdings as well as other qualitative factors, as at June 30, 2018, the Company concluded that it had the ability to exercise significant influence over TGOD and accordingly, accounted for its investment as an associate under the equity method (Note 11(f)).

 

On September 27, 2018, the Company no longer had the ability to exercise significant influence over TGOD (Note 11(f)). As such, the $275,342 fair value of the common shares held in TGOD at September 27, 2018 was reclassified from investment in associates to marketable securities. The fair value was calculated by reference to the quoted market price of $6.94 per share of TGOD on September 27, 2018.

 

As of September 30, 2018, the common shares had a fair value of $286,054 based on the quoted market price of $7.21 at that date.

 

The 19,837,292 aggregate share purchase warrants and the milestone options held by the Company are measured as derivative instruments at fair value through income. At September 30, 2018, the warrants and milestone options had an aggregate fair value of $99,275 (June 30, 2018 - $99,471) resulting in an unrealized loss of $196 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This aggregate fair value was calculated as indicated below.

Note 6 Marketable Securities and Derivatives (Continued)

 

(a)The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (continued)

 

At September 30, 2018, the $93,404 (June 30, 2018 - $95,009) fair value of the 16,666,667 subscription receipt warrants and milestone options was estimated using the Binomial model with the following weighted average assumptions: share price of $7.21 (June 30, 2018 - $6.47); risk-free interest rate of 2.55% (June 30, 2018 - 2.30%); dividend yield of 0% (June 30, 2018 - 0%); stock price volatility of 76.41% (June 30, 2018 - 60%); and an expected life of 2.27 years (June 30, 2018 - 2.52 years). The share price input relating to the milestone options was also adjusted for the 10% discount to the listed market price upon achievement of the milestones, as well as the weighted average probability of 22% (June 30, 2018 - 61%) on the achievement of the milestones. At September 30, 2018, of the $93,404 fair value, $11,197 was attributed to the milestone options. Subsequent to September 30, 2018, all of the milestone options expired unexercised.

 

At September 30, 2018, the $5,871 (June 30, 2018 - $4,462) 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 $7.21 (June 30, 2018 - $6.47); risk-free interest rate of 2.16% (June 30, 2018 - 2.21%); dividend yield of 0% (June 30, 2018 - 0%); stock price volatility of 75.40% (June 30, 2018 - 60%); and an expected life of 1.59 years (June 30, 2018 - 1.84 years).

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2018, the Company sold 6,341,250 common shares of TGOD for gross proceeds of $35,907 for an average price of $5.66 resulting in a reduced undiluted ownership interest of approximately 12.6%.

 

(b)Australis Capital Inc. (“ACI”)

 

At June 30, 2018, ACI was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aurora. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company distributed the shares and warrants it owned in ACI to the Company’s shareholders through a spin-out transaction. As part of the spin-out transaction, ACI completed a two-tranche private placement on July 5, 2018 and August 3, 2018 resulting in Aurora reducing its ownership interest in ACI to 47% and 24%, respectively. As a result, Aurora no longer had the ability to exercise control of ACI on July 5, 2018 and deconsolidated ACI. The Company accounted for its remaining 26,802,364 ACI shares held as an investment in associate (Note 11(a)) and the 26,802,364 ACI warrants held as derivatives. The shares had an estimated fair value of $5,360 on July 5, 2018 based on the private placement subscription price of $0.20 per share and the warrants had a fair value of $679 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.

 

On August 3, 2018, Aurora’s ownership interest decreased to 24% and due to other qualitative factors, Aurora no longer held significant influence in ACI (Note 11(a)). As such, the $5,360 fair value of the 26,802,364 ACI shares held was reclassified from investment in associates to marketable securities.

 

The Company also received 1,341,391 units in ACI in exchange for funding $269 of ACI’s transaction costs prior to the spin-out, with $228 allocated to the shares and $41 allocated to the warrants. Each unit consisted of one common share and one warrant exercisable at $0.25 per share for a period of one year.

 

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 $82,461 and $69,234, 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 $76,873 in other comprehensive income on the shares, and an unrealized gain of $68,514 in income on the warrants. As a result of the spin-out, the Company recognized a dividend of $151,695 to retained earnings equating 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 $500:

(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 volume weighted average trading price 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 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 September 30, 2018. As such, the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the back-in right warrants has not changed materially from the $500 original cost of the investment.

(c)CTT Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“CTT”)

 

At June 30, 2018, the Company held a $1,319 (US $1,000) 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 May 20, 2021.

 

On August 20, 2018, the Company fully converted the US $1,000 debenture into 3,731,343 common shares of CTT resulting in approximately 8% ownership in CTT. On conversion, the $3,413 fair value of the debenture was calculated based on the quoted share price of US $0.70 and as the Company held significant influence over CTT, the fair value was reclassified into investment in associates as the deemed cost (Note 11(d)). The Company recognized a loss of $1,201 compared to the $4,614 fair value of the debenture at June 30, 2018 which was estimated on the conversion date using the binomial model with the assumptions listed below.

 

At September 30, 2018, the 20,779,972 warrants in CTT had a fair value of $30,302 (June 30, 2018 - $15,526) and the Company recognized an aggregate unrealized gain of $14,776 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The fair value of the derivative was estimated using the Binomial model with the following weighted average assumptions: share price of US $0.70 (June 30, 2018 - US $0.89); risk-free interest rate of 3.03% (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 2.64 years (June 30, 2018 - 2.89 years).

 

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

 

At September 30, 2018, the Company’s 11,880,000 warrants in Alcanna had a fair value of $5,755 (June 30, 2018 - $2,400) resulting in an unrealized gain of $3,355 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Binomial model with the following weighted average assumptions: share price of $10.75 (June 30, 2018 - $9.14); risk-free interest rate of 2.57% (June 30, 2018 - 2.12%); dividend yield of 0% (June 30, 2018 - 0%); historical stock price volatility of 34.98% (June 30, 2018 - 30.15%); and an expected life of 1.23 years (June 30, 2018 - 1.49 years). If the estimated volatility increases or decreases by 10%, the estimated fair value would increase or decrease by approximately $4,382.

Note 7 Convertible Debenture Investments (Continued)

 

(a)Investee-B

 

On July 2, 2018, the Company subscribed to a $13,403 (US $10,000) convertible debenture in a private company (“Investee-B”) which if fully converted would provide the Company with 14.3% ownership interest. The debentures bear interest at 1.5% per annum payable in cash or common shares equal to the fair value of shares at the time of issuance. The debentures are convertible into common shares of Investee-B at US $4.9585 at the option of Aurora until July 2, 2023. Investee-B is a Canadian company that cultivates, manufactures and distributes medical cannabis products in Jamaica.

 

The Company also entered into an Investor Rights Agreement where Aurora has the right to participate in any future offerings of equity of Investee-B to allow Aurora to maintain its percentage ownership interest, as well as the right to nominate a director to Investee-B’s Board of Directors as long as the Company owns at least 10% interest.

 

As of September 30, 2018, the convertible debenture had a fair value of $13,539 (US $10,459) which was estimated using two coupled Black-Scholes models based on the following assumptions: estimated share price of $3.711; risk-free interest rate of 3.07%; dividend yield of 0%; stock price volatility of 30.86%; and an expected life of 4.76 years. If the estimated volatility increases or decreases by 10%, the estimated fair value would increase or decrease by approximately $199.

 

(b)Capcium Inc. (“Capcium”)

 

On September 5, 2018, the Company purchased 4,600 convertible debentures for a total cost of $4,600. The debentures bear interest at 8% per annum and matures on September 5, 2020. The convertible debentures are convertible at the option of Aurora upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event into units of Capcium at the lesser of (i) the price that is 20% discount to the Liquidity Event Price; and (ii) the price determined based on a pre-money value of $80,000 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. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company accrued interest income of $26.

 

At September 30, 2018, the convertible debenture had a fair value of $6,161 resulting in an unrealized gain of $1,561 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The fair value of the convertible debenture was estimated using the Monte-Carlo and FINCAD model with the following assumptions: share price of $1.1327; risk-free rate of 2.546%; dividend yield of 0%; stock price volatility of 48%; an expected life of 1.93 years; and adjusted for a credit spread of 25% and a probability for the Liquidity Event of 80%. If the estimated volatility increases or decreases by 10%, the estimated fair value would increase or decrease by approximately $190 and $202, respectively.

 

The Company also holds 19.99% existing ownership interest in Capcium accounted for under the equity method (Note 11(e)).

 

Note 8 Biological Assets

 

The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants. The changes in the carrying value of biological assets are as follows:

 

    $
Balance at June 30, 2017   4,088
Production costs capitalized   9,902
Biological assets acquired from CanniMed (Note 12(e))   2,535
Changes in fair value less cost to sell due to biological transformation   25,550
Transferred to inventory upon harvest   (28,455)
Balance at June 30, 2018   13,620
Production costs capitalized   4,099
Biological assets acquired from MedReleaf (Note 12(a))   7,154
Changes in fair value less cost to sell due to biological transformation   2,279
Transferred to inventory upon harvest   (16,752)
Balance at September 30, 2018   10,400

 

As of September 30, 2018, the weighted average fair value less cost to complete and cost to sell was $4.64 per gram (June 30, 2018 - $6.46 per gram).

Note 8 Biological Assets (Continued)

 

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 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 plan 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 the number of days in production over a total average grow cycle of approximately twelve weeks. The number of days in production was higher (lower).

 

 

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:

 

Significant inputs & assumptions Range of inputs   Effect on fair value
Sept 30, 2018 June 30, 2018 Sensitivity Sept 30, 2018 June 30, 2018
Selling price per gram $7.39 to $8.99 $7.25 to $8.96 Increase or decrease of $1.00 per gram $2,376 $1,763
Average yield per plant 24 to 49 20 to 51 grams Increase or decrease by 5 grams per plant $1,510 $1,999

 

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

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company’s biological assets produced 4,995,990 grams of dried cannabis (three months ended September 30, 2017 - 1,009,585 grams). As of September 30, 2018, it was expected that the Company’s biological assets would yield approximately 2,376,232 grams (June 30, 2018 - 3,794,770 grams) of cannabis when harvested.

(a)Australis Capital and Australis Holdings

 

On June 30, 2018, the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ACI, held 50% interest in AHL.

 

Pursuant to the spin-out transaction (Note 6(b)), on July 5, 2018, ACI completed the first tranche of its private placement and received $7,800 gross proceeds. As a result, Aurora’s ownership interest decreased to 47% and the Company no longer had the ability to exercise control of ACI. The Company deconsolidated the net assets in ACI and recognized the $5,360 fair value of 26,802,364 ACI shares held as a significant influence investment and the $679 fair value of 26,802,364 ACI warrants held as a derivative (Note 6(b)). As a result of loss of control and deconsolidation, the Company recognized a $410 gain in the statement of comprehensive income.

 

On August 3, 2018, ACI completed its second and final tranche of its private placement resulting in Aurora holding a 24% ownership interest. Aurora no longer had ACI Board representation, no interchange of managerial personnel, and had received shareholder approval for the spin-out.

(a)MedReleaf Corp.

 

On July 25, 2018, the Company acquired MedReleaf, a Canadian company previously listed on the TSX and is in the business of production and sale of cannabis. The Company acquired MedReleaf to increase 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 $2,644,115 comprised of 370,120,238 common shares with a fair value of $2,568,634 and $75,481 fair value of replaced share-based payments. The replaced share-based payments include $53,808 for employee stock options, $2,117 for performance options, and $19,556 for warrants.

 

Management is in the process of gathering the relevant information that existed as at the acquisition date to determine the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. 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. Management continues to work on finalizing the purchase price allocation for the fair value of identified intangible assets, property, plant and equipment acquired and the allocation to goodwill.

 

     

Provisional allocation

Net identifiable assets acquired     557,733
Goodwill     2,086,382

Goodwill represents expected synergies, future income and growth, and other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition, as well as the deferred tax liability recognized for all taxable temporary differences. None of the goodwill arising on this acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, MedReleaf accounted for $11,121 in revenues and a loss of $11,610 in net income since July 25, 2018.

As part of the acquisition, an aggregate of $10,000 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 compensation expense for post-combination services provided and will be expensed through income. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company accrued $663 in compensation expense.

 

Management is in the process of gathering the relevant information that existed as at the acquisition date to determine the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired.

Note 20 Share-based Payments (Continued)

 

(a)Stock options and restricted share units (continued)

 

(i)Stock options (continued)

 

The fair value of stock options granted during the period was determined using the following weighted average assumptions at the time of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

 

  2018 2017
Risk-Free Annual Interest Rate 1.55% 1.43%
Expected Annual Dividend Yield 0% 0%
Expected Stock Price Volatility 80.93% 75.73%
Expected Life of Options 2.96 years 2.69 years
Forfeiture Rate 4.29% 5%

 

Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of the Company. The expected life in years represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on Canada government bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.

 

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $3.17 (2017 - $1.35) per option. As at September 30, 2018, stock options outstanding have a weighted average remaining contractual life of 4.14 years (2017 - 4.24 years).

 

(ii)Restricted share units (“RSU”)

 

On September 25, 2017, the Company adopted a RSU plan for directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company (“Participants”). Under the terms of the plan, RSU’s are granted to Participants and the shares issued vest over a period of up to three years from the date of grant. Each RSU gives the Participant the right to receive one common share of the Company. The Company has reserved 10,000,000 common shares for issuance under this plan.

 

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

From time to time, the Company and/or its subsidiaries may become defendants in legal actions and the Company intends to defend itself vigorously against all legal claims. Other than the claims described below, as of the date of this report, Aurora is not aware of any 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 to 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 claim vigorously. Due to the uncertainty of timing and the amount of estimated future cash outflows 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 a recently acquired subsidiary’s supply agreement. The plaintiff is seeking specific performance of the supply agreement and damages for breach of contract for approximately $22,000 (#eu#14,700) 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 this claim vigorously. Due to the uncertainty of timing and the amount of estimated future cash outflows relating to this claim, no provision had 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 fair value of these liabilities determined by this analysis was primarily driven by the Company’s expectations of the subsidiaries’ achieving their milestones. The expected milestones were assessed probabilities by management which were discounted to present value in order to derive a fair value of the contingent consideration. At September 30, 2018, the probability of achieving the milestones was estimated to be 100% and the discount rates were estimated to range between 15% and 36%. If the probability of achieving the milestones decreased by 10%, the estimated fair value of contingent consideration would decrease by approximately $1,261 (June 30, 2018 - $2,034). If the discount rate increased or decreased by 5%, the estimated fair value of contingent consideration would increase or decrease by approximately $212 (June 30, 2018 - $356). If the expected timing of achievement is delayed by six months, the estimated fair value of contingent consideration would decrease by approximately $974 (June 30, 2018 - $881).

 

Note 27 Financial Instruments Risk

 

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

 

(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, trade and other receivables and short-term GIC investments. The risk exposure is limited to their carrying amounts at the statement of financial position date. The risk for cash and cash equivalents is mitigated by holding these instruments with highly rated Canadian financial institutions. The Company does not invest in asset-backed deposits or investments and does not expect any credit losses. The Company periodically assesses the quality of its investments and is satisfied with the credit rating of the financial institutions and the investment grade of its GICs. Trade and other receivables primarily consist of trade accounts receivable and goods and services taxes recoverable (“GST”). The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk but has limited risk as the majority of sales are transacted with credit cards.

 

As at September 30, 2018, the Company’s aging of receivables was approximately as follows:

Note 27 Financial Instruments Risk (Continued)

 

(b)Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. On August 29, 2018, the Company secured a $200,000 debt facility with BMO of which $92,438 was drawn at September 30, 2018 (Note 18). Additionally, the Company has an $875 letter of credit which was fully drawn and was assumed from the MedReleaf acquisition (Note 12(a)). The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due.

 

In addition to the commitments outlined in Note 24, the Company has the following gross contractual obligations subject to liquidity risk:

 

  Total <1 year 1 - 3 years 3 -5 years > 5 years
  $ $ $ $ $
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 83,292 83,292 - - -
Convertible notes and interest (1) 251,152 11,596 237,621 1,935 -
Loans and borrowings (2) 100,099 6,706 93,076 317 -
Contingent consideration payable 15,617 15,617 - - -

(1)Assumes the principal balance outstanding at September 30, 2018 remains unconverted and includes the estimated interest payable until the maturity date.
(2)Includes interest payable until maturity date.

 

(c)Market risk

 

(i)Currency risk

 

The operating results and financial position of the Company are reported in Canadian dollars. As the Company operates in an international environment, some of the Company’s financial instruments and transactions are denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks. 

 

The Company’s main risk is associated with fluctuations in Euros, Danish Krone, Australian and U.S. dollars as the Company holds cash in Canadian dollars, U.S. dollars, Danish Krone and Euros, and investments in Australian and U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated based on the foreign currency translation policy.

 

The Company has determined that as at September 30, 218, an effect of a 10% increase or decrease in Euros, Danish Krone, Australian dollars and U.S. dollars against the Canadian dollar on financial assets and liabilities would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $4,732 and $8,164 to net income and comprehensive income, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 (three months ended September 30, 2017 - $28 to net loss and $2,626 to comprehensive income).

 

At September 30, 2018, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

 

(ii)Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Cash and cash equivalents bear interest at market rates. The Company’s investments and convertible notes have fixed rates of interest. The majority of the Company’s loans and borrowings have floating interest rates. At September 30, 2018, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to floating interest rates.

 

(iii)Price risk 

 

Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. The Company’s marketable securities and investments are susceptible to price risk arising from uncertainties about their future values. The fair value of marketable securities is based on quoted market prices which the shares of the investments can be exchanged for.

 

If the fair value of these financial assets were to increase or decrease by 10%, the Company would incur an associated increase or decrease in net and comprehensive income of approximately $48,520 (three months ended September 30, 2017 - $4,225). See Note 6 for additional details regarding the fair value of marketable securities and derivatives.

Note 28 Capital Management

 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure that there are adequate capital resources to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and maintain adequate levels of funding to support its ongoing operations and development such that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

 

The capital structure of the Company consists of $4,694,020 (June 30, 2018 - $1,766,342) in shareholders’ equity and debt. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the Company’s underlying assets. The Company plans to use existing funds, as well as funds from the future sale of products to fund operations and expansion activities.

 

As disclosed in Note 18, the Company has various loan facilities in place. Certain loans have financial covenants which are generally in the form of leverage and liquidity ratios. During the periods ended September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all covenants with the exception of a cash concentration covenant (Note 18(a)). The Company does not have any other externally imposed capital requirements.
