2.Significant Accounting Policies and Judgments and Defined Terms

 

2.1 Statement of Compliance and Going Concern

 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business as they become due.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, but not limited to, its ability to raise financing necessary to discharge its liabilities as they become due and generate positive cash flows from operations. Although during the nine months ended July 31, 2023, the Company generated net income of approximately $1.4 million, it has historically incurred net losses, and as of that date, the Company’s accumulated deficit was approximately $18.9 million. These conditions have resulted in material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and to meet its obligations will be dependent upon successful sales of product and generating positive cash flows from operations as well as obtaining suitable financing, if required. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the going concern assumption is not used, then the adjustments required to report the Company’s assets and liabilities at liquidation values could be material to these financial statements.

 

These financial statements do not include all disclosures required by IFRS for annual audited consolidated financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2022. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on September 27, 2023.

2.2 Basis of Consolidation

 

The subsidiaries are those companies controlled by the Company, as the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiaries and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiaries by way of its ownership and rights pertaining to the subsidiaries. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in these financial statements from the date that control commences until the date control ceases. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

2.3 Basis of Measurement

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments and biological assets, which are measured at fair value, as described herein.

 

2.4 Functional and Presentation Currency

 

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar, and the functional currency of its subsidiaries is the United States dollar. These financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.

 

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency using exchange rates in effect at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. All exchange gains and losses are included in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company are expressed in U.S. Dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive loss and reported as currency translation reserve in shareholders’ equity.

 

Foreign exchange gains or losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future and which, in substance, is considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation, are recognized in other comprehensive loss.

 

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. Areas that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2022. The accounting policies applied in these financial statements are consistent with those used in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2022, except for the adoption of new accounting policies (Note 2.5).

2.6 Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Amendments to IAS 41: Agriculture

 

As part of its 2018-2020 annual improvements to the standards process of IFRS, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 41 - Agriculture. The amendment removes the requirement in paragraph 22 of IAS 41 for entities to exclude taxation cash flow when measuring the fair value of a biological asset using a present value technique. This will ensure consistency with the requirements in IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The Company adopted the Amendments to IAS 41 effective November 1, 2022, which did not have material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

 

Amendments to IFRS 9: Financial Instruments

 

As part of its 2018-2020 annual improvements to the standards process of IFRS, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments. The amendment clarifies the fees that an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability. These fees include only those paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other’s behalf. An entity applies the amendment to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier adoption permitted. The Company adopted the Amendments to IFRS 9 effective November 1, 2022, which did not have material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 37: Onerous Contracts and the Cost of Fulfilling a Contract

 

The amendment specifies that the ‘cost of fulfilling’ a contract comprises the ‘costs that relate directly to the contract’. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with early application permitted. The Company adopted the Amendments to IAS 37 – Onerous Contracts and the Cost of Fulfilling a Contract effective November 1, 2022, which did not have material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

 

2.7 New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

 

The amendment clarifies the requirements relating to determining if a liability should be presented as current or non-current in the statement of financial position. Under the new requirement, the assessment of whether a liability is presented as current or non-current is based on the contractual arrangements in place as at the reporting date and does not impact the amount or timing of recognition. The amendment applies retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of these amendments on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts

 

IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts within the scope of the standard. The objective of IFRS 17 is to ensure that an entity provides relevant information that faithfully represents those contracts. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3.Biological Assets

 

Biological assets consist of cannabis plants, which reflect measurement at FVLCTS. Changes in the carrying amounts of biological assets for the nine months ended July 31, 2023, are as follows:

 

   July 31,
2023
   October 31,
2022
 
   $   $ 
Beginning balance   1,199,519    1,188,552 
Increase in biological assets due to capitalized costs   4,791,502    5,630,863 
Change in FVLCTS due to biological transformation   1,634,625    3,278,572 
Transferred to inventory upon harvest   (5,637,969)   (8,898,468)
Ending balance   1,987,677    1,199,519 

 

FVLCTS is determined using a model which estimates the expected harvest yield for plants currently being cultivated, and then adjusts that amount for the expected selling price and also for any additional costs to be incurred, such as post-harvest costs.

 

The following significant unobservable inputs, all of which are classified as level 3 on the fair value hierarchy, were used by management as part of this model:

 

-Expected costs required to grow the cannabis up to the point of harvest

 

-Estimated selling price per pound

 

-Expected yield from the cannabis plants

 

-Estimated stage of growth – the Company applied a weighted average number of days out of the approximately 62-day growing cycle that biological assets have reached as of the measurement date based on historical evidence. The Company assigns fair value according to the stage of growth and estimated costs to complete cultivation.

Finished goods   433,595    261,951 
Ending balance   2,702,618    3,131,877 

 

The cost of inventories, excluding changes in fair value, included as an expense and included in cost of goods sold for the nine months ended July 31, 2023, was $8,149,809 (2022 - $6,091,066). The cost of inventories, excluding changes in fair value, included as an expense and included in cost of goods sold for the three months ended July 31, 2023, was $3,047,971 (2022 - $2,226,593).

6.Other investments and purchase deposits

 

6.1 Investment in assets sold by HSCP

 

On February 5, 2021, the Company agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets of the growing and retail operations pursuant to the HSCP Transaction, for an aggregate total of $3,000,000 in consideration, payable in a series of tranches, subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals. A payment of $250,000 was to be due at closing and the payment of the remaining purchase price was to depend on the timing of the closing. If the closing were to take place before the 12-month anniversary date of the February 5, 2021, effective date, the remaining balance of $2,000,000 would be paid by a promissory note payable. If the closing were to take place after the 12-month anniversary date but before the 18-month anniversary date, the remaining balance would be paid $750,000 in cash and $1,250,000 by a promissory note payable. If the closing were to take place later than the 18-month anniversary date, the remaining $2,000,000 would be paid in cash. The Company also executed the HSCP MSA, a management services agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay $21,500 per month as consideration for services rendered thereunder, until the completion of the HSCP Transaction. In accordance with the MSA, the Company owned all production from the growing assets derived from the growing operations of HSCP, and the Company operated the growing facility of HSCP under the MSA until receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals relating to the acquisition by the Company of HSCP’s growing assets. The Company had no involvement with the retail operations contemplated in the agreement until the HSCP Transaction was completed.

 

On April 14, 2022, the HSCP Transaction closed with modifications to the original terms: the retail purchase was mutually terminated, and total consideration for the acquisition was reduced to $2,000,000. Upon closing, the Company had paid $750,000 towards the acquisition, and owed a promissory note payable with a principal sum of $1,250,000, of which $500,000 was on August 1, 2022, and $750,000 was on May 1, 2023. The agreement was amended August 1, 2022, as described at Note 10.1.

On August 1, 2022, the terms of the Secured Promissory Note between GR Distribution and HSCP, were amended. As amended, the Secured Promissory Note will be fully settled by two principal amounts of $500,000 (the First Principal Payment) and $750,000 due on May 1, 2023. Beginning on August 1, 2022, and continuing until repaid in full, the unpaid portion of the First Principal Amount will accrue simple interest at a rate per annum of 12.5%, payable monthly. In the event the Company raises capital, principal payments shall be made as follows. If the capital raise is less than or equal to $2 million, then 25% of the capital raise shall be paid against the First Principal Payment; if the capital raise is greater than $2 million and less than or equal to $3 million, then $250,000 shall be paid against the First Principal Payment; and if the capital raise is greater than $3 million, then $500,000 shall be paid against the First Principal Payment. The Company paid $750,000 during the nine months ended July 31, 2023.

 

10.2 0% stated rate note payable to PBIC with original principal amount of $800,000 and Harvest-based payments (settled)

 

On September 9, 2021, the Company entered into the PBIC Note, an unsecured promissory note agreement with PBIC, a formerly related party, in the amount of $800,000, which was to be fully advanced by September 30, 2021. During the year ended October 31, 2022, $100,000 was received (through October 31, 2021 - $600,000). The PBIC Note was to mature on December 15, 2022, with payments commencing January 15, 2022, and continuing through and including December 15, 2022. The terms required the Company to make certain participation payments to the lender based on a percentage monthly sales of cannabis flower sold from the Company’s Harvest (sun-grown A-flower 2021 harvest), less 15% of such amount to account for costs of sales. The percentage was determined by dividing 2,000 by the total volume of pounds of the Harvest, proportionate to principal proceeds. A portion of these payments were to be used to pay down the outstanding principal on a monthly basis. The PBIC Note would have automatically terminated when the full amount of any outstanding principal plus the applicable participation payments were paid prior to the maturity date. Should the participation payments have fully repaid the principal amount prior to the maturity date then the PBIC Note would have automatically terminated. The PBIC Note bore no stated rate of interest, and in the event of default, would have born interest at 15% per annum. The PBIC Note was reported at amortized cost using an effective interest rate of approximately 1.9%.

 

On June 20, 2022, the Company announced the settlement of the PBIC Note, which had a principal balance owing of $700,000. The Company agreed to transfer its PBIC Shares (the Company’s ownership of 2,362,204 common shares of PBIC), to the Creditor (2766923 Ontario Inc.), to which PBIC sold and assigned the PBIC Note. In exchange, the Creditor provided forgiveness and settlement of all amounts owing in connection with the PBIC Note. The Company reported a gain on debt settlement of $449,684 as a result of the settlement.

 

10.3 10% note payable owed by Golden Harvests with original principal amount of $250,000

 

On May 1, 2021, the Company assumed a note payable owed by Golden Harvests (Note 5) with a carrying value of $227,056. The note is for a principal amount of $250,000, interest paid monthly at 10% per annum, and a maturity date of January 14, 2024. After the maturity date, additional interest payments are due quarterly, at amounts that cause total interest paid over the life of the debt to equal $250,000. The note is reported at amortized cost using an effective interest rate of approximately 33%.

18.Financial Instruments

 

18.1 Market Risk (including interest rate risk and currency risk)

 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risk reflects interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risks.

 

18.1.1 Interest Rate Risk

 

At July 31, 2023, the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates to long-term debt and finance lease obligations; each of these items bears interest at a fixed rate.

 

18.1.2 Currency Risk

 

As at July 31 2023, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of CAD$348,684. The Company is exposed to the risk of fluctuation in the rate of exchange between the Canadian Dollar and the United States Dollar.

 

18.2 Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a loss for the other party by failing to pay for its obligation.

 

Credit risk to the Company is derived from cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash in deposit with United States financial institutions. The Company has established a policy to mitigate the risk of loss related to granting customer credit by primarily selling on a cash-on-delivery basis.

 

Accounts receivable primarily consist of trade accounts receivable and sales tax receivable. The Company provides credit to certain customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk. Credit risk is assessed on a case-by-case basis and a provision is recorded where required.

 

The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, and other receivables represent the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk; the balances of these accounts are summarized in the following table:

Accounts Receivable   2,276,195    1,643,959

18.4 Fair Values

 

The carrying amounts for the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, prepaid and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, current portions of debt and debentures payable, unearned revenue, and interest payable approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these items.

 

18.5 Fair Value Hierarchy

 

A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair valued for both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The Company has an established framework, which includes team members who have overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values. When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. The Company regularly assesses significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

 

Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; or

 

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

The carrying values of the financial instruments at July 31, 2023, are summarized in the following table:

 

   Level in
fair value
hierarchy
  Amortized
Cost
   FVTPL 
      $   $ 
Financial Assets             
Cash  Level 1   8,462,768    - 
Accounts receivable  Level 2   2,276,195    - 
Warrants receivable  Level 2        1,252,253 
              
Financial Liabilities             
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities  Level 2   1,720,596    - 
Debt  Level 2   1,644,441    - 
Convertible debentures  Level 2   3,140,188      
Business acquisition consideration payable  Level 2   360,000    - 
Warrants payable  Level 2        1,252,253 
Derivative liabilities  Level 2   -    4,708,194 

 

During the nine months ended July 31, 2023, there were no transfers of amounts between levels.
