Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018
(Unaudited - in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Intragroup balances, and any unrealized gains and losses or income and expenses arising from transactions with jointly controlled entities are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the entity.
The Company treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Company. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognized in a separate reserve within equity attributable to the owners of the Company.
(e) | Interest in equity investees |
In accordance with IFRS 10, associates are those in which the Company has significant influence, but not control or joint control over the financial and accounting policies.
Interests in associates are accounted for using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28. They are recognized initially at cost, which includes transaction costs. After initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income (“OCI”) of equity investees until the date on which significant influence ceases.
If the Company’s share of losses in an equity investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.
Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in these entities. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
3. | Significant accounting policies |
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies used in the preparation of the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended May 31, 2019, with the exception of the adoption of IFRS 16,Leases(“IFRS 16”), as described below.
New standards and interpretations applicable effective June 1, 2019
Adoption of IFRS 16 - Leases
IFRS 16 introduced a single, on-balance sheet accounting model for leases. The Company, as a leasee, has recognized right-of-use assets representing its rights to use the underlying assets and lease liabilities representing its obligation to make lease payments.
The Company has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method and has elected to set the right-of-use asset equal to the lease liability. As such the cumulative effect of initial application recognized in retained earnings at June 1, 2019 is nil. Accordingly, the comparative information presented for the prior period has not been restated and is presented as previously reported under IAS 17 and related interpretations.
Previously, the Company determined at contract inception whether an arrangement was or contained a lease under IFRIC 4 Determining Whether an Arrangement contains a lease. The Company now determines whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the new definition of a lease. Under IFRS 16, a contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is Initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation or impairment losses and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The Company primarily uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The weighted average discount rate used was 5.0%. The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

Aphria Inc.
Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018
(Unaudited - in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)
On transition to IFRS 16, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions represent leases. The Company applied IFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 was applied only to contracts entered into, or changed, on or after June 1, 2019.
The Company used the following additional practical expedients:
• | Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics; |
• | Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases with terms less than 12 months and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line or other systematic basis over the lease term; |
• | Excluded initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application; and |
• | Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease. |
The Company has furthermore applied judgment to determine the applicable discount rate. The discount rate is based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate and reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the associated risks for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted for.
On transition to IFRS 16, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $6,619 on June 1, 2019 for a combination of vehicle and office lease agreements. The Company has recognized depreciation expense of $292 and $255 in finance costs in the condensed consolidated interim statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the three months ended August 31, 2019.
There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the Company in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
The Company has reclassified certain immaterial items on the comparative consolidated statements of financial position, consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, and consolidated statements of cash flows to improve clarity.

For the three months ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018
(Unaudited - in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)
The Company values cannabis plants at cost, which approximates fair value from the date of initial clipping from mother plants until half way through the flowering cycle of the plants. Measurement of the biological transformation of the plant at fair value less costs to sell begins in the fourth week prior to harvest and is recognized evenly until the point of harvest. The number of weeks in the growing cycle is between twelve and sixteen weeks from propagation to harvest. The Company has determined the fair value less costs to sell of harvested cannabis and harvested cannabis trim to be $3.50 and $2.75 per gram respectively, upon harvest for greenhouse produced cannabis (May 31, 2019 - $3.50 and $2.75 per gram) and $4.00 and $3.25 per gram respectively (May 31, 2019 - $4.00 and $3.25 per gram), upon harvest for indoor produced cannabis.
The effect of the fair value less cost to sell over and above historical cost was an increase in non-cash value of biological assets and inventory of $25,153 during the three months ended August 31, 2019 (2018 - $9,511).
The fair value of biological assets is determined using a valuation model to estimate expected harvest yield per plant applied to the estimated price per gram less processing and selling costs. Only when there is a material change from the expected fair value used for cannabis does the Company make any adjustments to the fair value used. During the period, there was no material change to these inputs and therefore there has been no change in the determined fair value per plant.
In determining the fair value of biological assets, management has made the following estimates in this valuation model:
• | The harvest yield is between 20 grams and 60 grams per plant; |
• | The selling price is between $3.00 and $7.00 per gram; |
• | Processing costs include drying and curing, testing, post-harvest overhead allocation, packaging and labelling costs between $0.30 and $0.80 per gram; |
• | Selling costs include shipping, order fulfilment, patient acquisition and patient maintenance costs between $0.00 and $1.50 per gram; |
Sales price used in the valuation of biological assets is based on the average selling price of all cannabis products and can vary based on different strains being grown as well as the proportion of sales derived from wholesale compared to retail. Selling costs vary depending on methods of selling and are considered based on the expected method of selling and the determined additional costs which would be incurred. Expected yields for the cannabis plant is also subject to a variety of factors, such as strains being grown, length of growing cycle, and space allocated for growing. Management reviews all significant inputs based on historical information obtained as well as based on planned production schedules.
Management has quantified the sensitivity of the inputs and determined the following:
• | Selling price per gram - a decrease in the average selling price per gram by 5% would result in the biological asset value decreasing by $906 (May 31, 2019 - $516) and inventory decreasing by $3,610 (May 31, 2019 - $2,470) |
• | Harvest yield per plant - a decrease in the harvest yield per plant of 5% would result in the biological asset value decreasing by $517 (May 31, 2019 - $266) |
These inputs are level 3 on the fair value hierarchy and are subject to volatility in market prices and several uncontrollable factors, which could significantly affect the fair value of biological assets in future periods.

Financial instruments
The Company has classified its cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, long-term investments, and convertible notes receivable as FVTPL, accounts receivable, prepaids and other current assets and promissory notes receivable as loans and receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, promissory notes payable, long-term debt, leases liabilities and convertible debentures as FVTPL or amortized cost.
The carrying values of accounts receivable, prepaids and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and promissory notes payable approximate their fair values due to their short periods to maturity.
The Company’s long-term debt of $28,434 is subject to fixed interest rates. The Company’s long-term debt is valued based on discounting the future cash outflows associated with the long-term debt. The discount rate is based on the incremental premium above market rates for Government of Canada securities of similar duration. In each period thereafter, the incremental premium is held constant while the Government of Canada security is based on the then current market value to derive the discount rate. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt in repayment as at August 31, 2019 was $27,981.

Aphria Inc.
Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018
(Unaudited - in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)
The Company mitigates its credit risk and volatility on its marketable securities through its investment policy, which permits investments in Federal or Provincial government securities, Provincial utilities or bank institutions and Investment grade corporate bonds.
Total | 0-30 days | 31-60 days | 61-90 days | 90+ days | |
Trade receivables | $ 47,264 | $ 25,605 | $ 13,017 | $ 2,215 | $ 6,427 |
54% | 28% | 5% | 13% |
(b) | Liquidity risk |
As at August 31, 2019, the Company’s financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which has contractual maturity dates within one-year, promissory note payable, which has a contractual maturity within 15 months and long-term debt, and convertible debentures which has contractual maturities over the next five years. The Company manages its liquidity risk by reviewing its capital requirements on an ongoing basis. Based on the Company’s working capital position at August 31, 2019, management regards liquidity risk to be low.
(c) | Currency rate risk |
As at August 31, 2019, a portion of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities held in United States Dollars (“USD”) and Euros consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, convertible notes receivable, long-term investments and a promissory note payable. The Company’s objective in managing its foreign currency risk is to minimize its net exposure to foreign currency cash flows by transacting, to the greatest extent possible, with third parties in the functional currency. The Company is exposed to currency rate risk in other comprehensive income, relating to foreign subsidiaries which operate in a foreign currency. The Company does not currently use foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure of its foreign currency cash flows as management has determined that this risk is not significant at this point in time.
The Company is exposed to unrealized foreign exchange risk through its cash and cash equivalents. As at August 31, 2019, approximately $297,000 USD ($395,000 CAD) of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents was in United States dollars. A 1% change in the foreign exchange rate would result in an unrealized gain or loss of approximately $4,000.
(d) | Interest rate price risk |
The Company manages interest rate risk by restricting the type of investments and varying the terms of maturity and issuers of marketable securities. Varying the terms to maturity reduces the sensitivity of the portfolio to the impact of interest rate fluctuations.
(e) | Capital management |
The Company’s objectives when managing its capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, to meet its capital expenditures for its continued operations, and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital within a framework of acceptable risk. The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, issue new debt, or acquire or dispose of assets. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There have been no changes to the Company’s capital management approach in the year. The Company considers its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as capital.

As of August 31, 2019, the Company was served statements of claims in class action lawsuits against the Company and certain of its officers and former officers. These claims relate to alleged misconduct in connection with the Company’s acquisitions of LATAM Holdings Inc. (“LATAM”) and Nuuvera Inc., and the Company’s June 2018 securities offering. At the present time, the representative claimants have been identified and selected in both the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. claims include alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The Canadian claims include alleged statutory and common law misrepresentation and oppression. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in each of these actions. With respect to the cases commenced in the United States, the Company is self-insured for the costs associated with any award or damages arising from such actions and has entered into indemnity agreements with each of the directors and officers and, subject to certain exemptions, will cover any costs incurred by them in connection with any of the class action claims. With respect to the cases commenced in Canada, the Company’s insurance policies may not be sufficient to cover any judgments against the Company. As at August 31, 2019, the Company has not recorded any uninsured amount related to this contingency.
