APHRIA INC. 
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements 

APHRIA INC. 
Independent Auditors’ ReporT 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and other financial information in this annual report were 
prepared by management of Aphria Inc., reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. 

Management is responsible for the consolidated financial statements and believes that they fairly present the 
Company’s financial condition and results of operation in conformity with International Financial Reporting 
Standards. Management has included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements amounts based on 
estimates and judgments that it believes are reasonable, under the circumstances.

To discharge its responsibilities for financial reporting and safeguarding of assets, management believes that 
it has established appropriate systems of internal accounting control which provide reasonable assurance that 
the financial records are reliable and form a proper basis for the timely and accurate preparation of financial 
statements. Consistent with the concept of reasonable assurance,the Company recognizes that the relative cost  
of maintaining these controls should not exceed their expected benefits. Management further assures the quality 
of the financial records through careful selection and training of personnel and through the adoption  
and communication of financial and other relevant policies.

These financial statements have been audited by the shareholders’ auditors, MNP LLP, and their report is 
presented herein.

To the Shareholders of Aphria Inc.:  

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Aphria Inc., which comprise the 
consolidated statements of financial position as at May 31, 2016 and May 31, 2015, and the consolidated 
statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity (deficiency) and cash flows  
for the years then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements 
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements 
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management 
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, 
whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.  
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards 
require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 
about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the 
consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the 
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud  
or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s 
preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures  
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness  
of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies 
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our audit opinion.

Opinion 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position 
of Aphria Inc. as at May 31, 2016 and May 31, 2015 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the 
years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

1.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 Aphria Inc. (the “Company” or “Aphria”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on  
June 22, 2011 as Black Sparrow Capital Corp. (“Black Sparrow”) and was continued in Ontario on  
December 1, 2014.

 Pure Natures Wellness Inc. doing business as Aphria (“PNW”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is 
licensed to produce and sell medical marijuana under the provisions of the Marihuana for Medical Purposes 
Regulations (“MMPR”). The registered office is located at 5300 Commerce Court West, 199 Bay Street, 
Toronto, Ontario. 

The Company’s common shares are listed under the symbol “APH” on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”).

 On December 2, 2014, the Company closed its qualifying transaction with PNW. The Company was a capital 
pool company prior to the transaction. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition.

These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on July 7, 2016.

2.  BASIS OF PREPARATION

(a)  Statement of compliance

 The policies applied in this consolidated financial statements are based on International Financial 
Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and 
Interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

(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 that are measured at fair value and biological assets 
that are measured at fair value less costs to sell, as detailed in the Company’s accounting policies.

(c)  Functional currency

 The Company and its subsidiaries’ functional currency, as determined by management is Canadian dollars. 
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars.

(d)  Basis of consolidation

 Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company.  Control exists when the Company has the power, 
directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity and be exposed to 
the variable returns from its activities.  The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the 
consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

 Intragroup balances, and any unrealized gains and losses or income and expenses arising from gains 
arising from transactions with jointly controlled entities are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s 
interest in the entity.  Unrealized losses are eliminated to the extent of the gains, but only to the extent 
that there is no evidence of impairment. 

3.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies used by the Company are as follows:

a.  Revenue

 Revenue is recognized at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. Revenue from the sale of 
goods is recognized when all the following conditions have been satisfied, which are generally met once the 
products are shipped to customers.

•   The Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to  

the purchaser;

•   The Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with 

ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

•  The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

•  It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and

•  The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

b.  Cash and cash equivalents

 Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible 
into known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less.

c. 

Inventory
 Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted 
average method. Inventories of harvested cannabis are transferred from biological assets into inventory at 
their fair value at harvest less costs to sell, which is deemed to be their cost. Any subsequent post-harvest 
costs are capitalized to inventory to the extent that cost is less than net realizable value. Net realizable 
value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs 
to sell. Packaging and supplies are initially valued at cost.

d.  Biological assets

 The Company’s biological assets consist of medical cannabis plants. These biological assets are measured 
at fair value less costs to sell and costs to complete. At the point of harvest, the biological assets are 
transferred to inventory at fair value less costs to sell and costs to complete.

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

e.  Capital assets

 Captial assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, 
if any.

Amortization is calculated using the following terms and methods:

Production equipment

Office equipment

Straight-line

Straight-line

5-10 years

3-5 years

Leasehold improvements

Straight-line 

over lease term

Construction in progress                                               

Not amortized no term

APHRIA INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended May 31, 2016 and May 31, 2015APHRIA INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended May 31, 2016 and May 31, 2015 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 An item of equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected 
from its use. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between 
the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the asset) is included in the consolidated statements 
of income and comprehensive income in the year the asset is derecognized.

 The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of amortization are reviewed at each financial year 
end, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate.

f. 

Intangible assets
 Intangible assets are comprised of an e-commerce platform and a purchased private label brand. Both 
are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization of the e-commerce platform is recorded 
on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 2 years. Amortization of the private label brand is 
recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 10 years.

g.  Goodwill

 Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for the acquisition of subsidiaries over the 
fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired.  Following initial recognition, goodwill is 
measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

h. 

Impairment of non-financial assets
 Long-term non-financial assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that the carrying amount may exceed its recoverable amount. For the purpose of testing 
impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows 
(cash-generating unit, or “CGU”). An impairment loss is recognized for the amount, if any, by which the 
asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the 
asset’s fair value less cost to sell and the value in use (being the present value of expected future cash 
flows of the asset or CGU). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the 
asset is increased to the lesser of the revised estimate of recoverable amount and the carrying amount that 
would have been recorded had no impairment loss been previously recognized. 

i. 

Income taxes
 Income tax expense consisting of current and deferred tax expense is recognized in the consolidated 
statements of income and comprehensive income. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on 
the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for 
amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years. 

 Deferred tax assets and liabilities and the related deferred income tax expense or recovery are recognized 
for deferred tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying 
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities 
are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is 
realized or the liability settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is 
recognized in income in the period that substantive enactment occurs. 

 A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be 
available against which the asset can be utilized. 

 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current 
tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation 
authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

j.  Earnings (loss) per share

 Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares 
outstanding during the year. The dilutive effect on earnings per share is calculated presuming the exercise 
of outstanding options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds of such exercise 
would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the year. However, the 
calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options 
and warrants that would be anti-dilutive. 

k.  Share-based compensation

 The Company has a stock option plan in place. The Company measures equity settled share-based 
payments based on their fair value at the grant date and recognizes compensation expense over the 
vesting period based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. Fair 
value is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected forfeitures are estimated at 
the date of grant and subsequently adjusted if further information indicates actual forfeitures may vary 
from the original estimate. Any revisions are recognized in the consolidated statements of income and 
comprehensive income such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate. 

l.  Research and development

 Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures are capitalized only if development 
costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future 
economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete 
development to use or sell the asset. Other development expenditures are recognized in the consolidated 
statements of income and comprehensive income as incurred. 

  m.  Financial instruments

Financial assets are classified into one of four categories: 
•  fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”); 
•  held-to-maturity (“HTM”); 
•  available for sale (“AFS”); and 
•  loans and receivables.

(i)  FVTPL financial assets

 Financial assets are classified as FVTPL when the financial asset is held for trading or it is designated 
as FVTPL. Financial assets classified as FVTPL are stated at fair value with any resulting gain or loss 
recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Transaction costs 
are expensed as incurred.

(ii)  HTM investments

 HTM investments are recognized on a trade-date basis and are initially measured at fair value, 
including transaction costs and subsequently at amortized cost.

(iii)  AFS financial assets

 AFS financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale 
or are not classified in any of the other categories. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value 
are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(iv)  Loans and receivables

 Loans and receivables are financial assets having fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted 
in an active market. They are initially recognized at the transaction value and subsequently carried at 
amortized cost less, when material, a discount to reduce the loans and receivables to fair value.

(v)  Impairment of financial assets

 Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of 
each reporting period. Financial assets are impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result 
of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated 
future cash flows of the investment have been impacted. 

 The carrying amount of all financial assets, excluding trade receivables, is directly reduced by the 
impairment loss. The carrying amount of trade receivables is reduced through the use of an allowance 
account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance 
account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance 
account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in the consolidated 
consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. With the exception of AFS equity 
instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the 
decrease relates to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized; the previously recognized 
impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive 
income. On the date of impairment reversal, the carrying amount of the financial asset cannot exceed 
its amortized cost had impairment not been recognized. 

(vi)  Financial liabilities and other financial liabilities

 Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or other financial liabilities. 
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with changes being recognized through the 
consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Other financial liabilities are initially 
measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost 
using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized on an effective yield basis.

(vii) Classification of financial instruments

 Cash and cash equivalents – FVTPL 
Accounts receivables – loans and receivables 
Other receivables – loans and receivables 
Promissory notes receivable – loans and receivables 
Long-term investments – FVTPL 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities – other financial liabilities 
Due to related parties – other financial liabilities

(viii) Determination on fair value of long-term investments

 All long-term investments (other than warrants) are initially recorded at the transaction price, being 
the fair value at the time of acquisition. Thereafter, at each reporting period, the fair value of an 
investment may (depending upon the circumstances) be adjusted using one or more of the valuation 
indicators described below. These are included in Level 3 in Note 5. Warrants of private companies 
are carried at their intrinsic value.

 The determination of fair value of the Company’s long-term investments at other than initial cost 
 are subject to certain limitations. Financial information for private companies in which the Company 
has investments may not be available and, even if available, that information may be limited  
and/or unreliable.

 Use of the valuation approach described below may involve uncertainties and determinations based 
on the Company’s judgment and any value estimated from these techniques may not be realized  
or realizable.

 Company-specific information is considered when determining whether the fair value of a long-term 
investment should be adjusted upward or downward at the end of each reporting period. In addition 
to company-specific information, the Company will take into account trends in general market 
conditions and the share performance of comparable publicly-traded companies when valuing  
long-term investments.

The fair value of long-term investment may be adjusted if:

  •   There has been a significant subsequent equity financing provided by outside investors at a 

valuation different than the current value of the investee company, in which case the fair value 
of the investment is set to the value at which that financing took place;

  •   There have been significant corporate, political, or operating events affecting the investee 

company that, in management’s opinion, have a material impact on the investee company’s 
prospects and therefore its fair value. In these circumstances, the adjustment to the fair value 
of the investment will be based on management’s judgment and any value estimated may not be 
realized or realizable;

  •  The investee company is placed into receivership or bankruptcy;

  •   Based on financial information received from the investee company, it is apparent to the 
Company that the investee company is unlikely to be able to continue as a going concern;

  •   Important positive/negative management changes by the investee company that the Company’s 
management believes will have a positive/negative impact on the investee company’s ability to 
achieve its objectives and build value for shareholders.

 Adjustment to the fair value of a long-term investment will be based upon management’s judgment 
and any value estimated may not be realized or realizable. The resulting values for non-publicly 
traded investments may differ from values that would be realized if a ready market existed.

n.  Critical accounting estimates and judgments

 The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and 
assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and 
revenue and expenses. 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 review affects both current and future periods.

Biological assets and inventory
 Management is required to make a number of estimates in calculating the fair value of biological assets 
and harvested cannabis inventory. These estimates include a number of assumptions such as estimating 
the stage of growth of the cannabis, harvesting costs, sales price, and expected yields.

Share-based compensation
 The fair value of share-based compensation expenses are estimated using the Black-Scholes option 
pricing model and rely on a number of estimates, such as the expected life of the option, the volatility of 
the underlying share price, the risk free rate of return, and the estimated rate of forfeiture of  
options granted.

Estimated useful lives and amortization of capital and intangible assets
 Amortization of capital and intangible assets is dependent upon estimates of useful lives based on  
management’s judgment. 

o.  New standards and interpretations issued but not yet adopted

 A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for 
the year ended May 31, 2016 and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial 
statements.

 Amendments to IAS 16 - Property Plant and Equipment and IAS 41 - Agriculture - The amendments bring 
bearer plants, which are used solely to grow produce, into the scope of IAS 16 so that they are accounted 
for in the same way as property, plant and equipment. The amendments are effective for annual periods 
beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with earlier application being permitted.

 IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement, effective for annual periods beginning on 
or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted, introduces new requirements for the classification 
and measurement of financial instruments.

 IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 
January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted, specifies how and when to recognize revenue and 
enhances relevant disclosures to be applied to all contracts with customers.

The Company is assessing the impact of these revised standards.

 The Company has reclassified certain items on the comparative consolidated statements of income and 
comprehensive income to improve clarity.

 The shares held in escrow are recorded as equity and will be continuously evaluated and adjusted based on 
the probability of the operating metrics being achieved. As of May 31, 2016 management expects 100% of 
milestones to be achieved by December 31, 2018.

 The Cannway brand will be amortized over 10 years on a straight line basis.  Amortization began in January 2016.

 Goodwill arose in the acquisition of the Cannway brand because the cost of the acquisition reflected revenue 
growth and the future market development of the brand.  These benefits were not recognized separately from 
goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets.  None of the 
goodwill arising on the acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 Acquisition costs of $10,375 have been expensed during the year under General and administrative on 
the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).  Costs of issuing equity of 
$85,384 have been applied against the fair value of the equity issued at the time of the acquisition.

4.  DISCLOSURE OF BUSINESS TRANSACTION

5. 

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 Effective January 13, 2016, Aphria acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Cannway 
Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Cannway”).  Cannway provides support services to veteran and first responders in the 
form of medical consultations, group therapy, and rehabilitation.

 Pursuant to the acquisition, Aphria issued 3,600,000 common shares at $1.23 per share to the former 
shareholders of Cannway, of which 1,800,000 shares are being held in escrow and will be either (i) released to 
the former shareholders of Cannway, based on the achievement of certain operating metrics or (ii) released to 
the Company for cancellation, if the operating metrics are not achieved by December 31, 2018.

Financial instruments
 The Company has classified its cash and cash equivalents and long-term investments as fair value through 
the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), accounts receivable, other 
receivables and promissory notes receivable as loans and receivables, and accounts payable and accrued 
liabilities as other financial liabilities.

 The carrying values of accounts receivables, other receivables, promissory notes receivable, and accounts 
payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short periods to maturity.

Fair value hierarchy
 Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the 
significance of inputs used in making the measurements. Cash and cash equivalents are Level 1. The hierarchy 
is summarized as follows:

Level 1 

  quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 2 

    inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived 

from prices) from observable market data

Level 3 

  inputs for assets and liabilities not based upon observable market data

Financial risk management
 The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:  credit risk; and, 
liquidity risk.

(a)  Credit risk 

 The maximum credit exposure at May 31, 2016 is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, 
accounts receivable and other receivables and promissory notes receivable. The Company does not have 
significant credit risk with respect to customers. All cash and cash equivalents are placed with major 
Canadian financial institutions.

(b)  Liquidity risk

 As at May 31, 2016, the Company’s financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued 
liabilities, which have contractual maturity dates within one year. The Company manages its liquidity 
risk by reviewing its capital requirements on an ongoing basis. Based on the Company’s working capital 
position at May 31, 2016, management regards liquidity risk to be low.

 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 the capital structure and makes adjustments to 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.  As at May 31, 2016, the Company 
has not entered into any debt financing. 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 ended May 31, 2016. The Company considers its 
cash and cash equivalents as capital.

7.  REVERSE ACQUISITION

   In December 2014, the Company completed its proposed transaction between Black Sparrow and PNW as 
previously disclosed in July 2014. PNW amalgamated with a new and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of  
Black Sparrow to become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Black Sparrow. Black Sparrow changed its  
name to Aphria Inc. and remained as the resulting issuer. The transaction constituted the qualifying 
transaction of Black Sparrow under the policies of the TSX-V.

 Immediately prior to the completion of the transaction, Black Sparrow consolidated its issued and outstanding 
common shares on the basis of one post-consolidation common share for each ten pre-consolidation common 
shares held. By way of a three-cornered amalgamation, Black Sparrow acquired all of the issued and outstanding 
shares of PNW by issuing one post-consolidation share for each PNW common share held. Each of the stock 
options and warrants to purchase common shares of PNW thereafter was exercisable for one post-consolidation 
common share of Aphria Inc.

 This transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition that does not constitute a business 
combination. For accounting purposes, the legal subsidiary, PNW, has been treated as the acquirer  
and Black Sparrow, the legal parent, has been treated as the acquiree.
