CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS Aphria Inc. (the “Company” or “Aphria”) was continued in Ontario. Pure Natures Wellness Inc. (o/a Aphria) (“PNW”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is licensed to produce and sell medical marijuana under the provisions of the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”). 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 Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and under the symbol “APHQF” on the United States OTCQB Venture Market exchange. These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on July 11, 2017. 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (a) Statement of compliance The policies applied in this consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with 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 and 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. WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARIES JURISDICTION OF INCORPORATION Pure Natures Wellness Inc. Aphria (Arizona) Inc. CannWay Pharmaceuticals Ltd Ontario Arizona Ontario 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. Unrealized losses are eliminated to the extent of the gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. 15 APHRIA INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the years ended May 31, 2017 and May 31,2016 (e) Foreign currency translation All figures presented in the consolidated financial statements are reflected in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company. 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The significant accounting policies used by the Company are as follows: Foreign currency transactions are translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates in effect on the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the statement of financial position date are translated to Canadian dollars at the foreign exchange rate applicable as at that date. Realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses are recognized through profit or loss. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including marketable securities, long-term investments and promissory note payable, are translated in Canadian dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expenses, and cash flows of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars using average exchange rates. Exchange differences resulting from translating foreign operations are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity. (f) Interest in equity-accounted investees The Company’s interest in equity accounted investees is comprised of its interest in associates. EQUITY ACCOUNTED INVESTEE JURISDICTION OF INCORPORATION DFMMJ Investments, Ltd. British Columbia 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 accounted investees until the date on which significant influence ceases. If the Company’s share of losses in an equity-accounted 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. The carrying amount of equity-accounted investments is tested for impairment in accordance with the policy described in Note 3(i). 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. 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. The Company recognized revenue from consulting services on a straight-line basis over the term of its consulting agreement with a third party as the services are provided. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of allowances, discounts and rebates. 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. Marketable securities Marketable securities are comprised of liquid investments in federal, provincial and/or corporate bonds with maturities less than 3.5 years. Marketable securities are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently adjusted to fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). d. 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. e. Biological assets The Company’s biological assets consist of medical cannabis plants which are not yet harvested. 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. 17 APHRIA INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the years ended May 31, 2017 and May 31,2016 f. Capital assets Capital assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortization is calculated using the following terms and methods: Land Greenhouse infrastructure Bearer plants Production equipment Office equipment Automotive equipment Leasehold improvements Construction in progress Not amortized Straight-line No term 20 years Unit of Production Number of units Straight-line Straight-line Straight-line Straight-line Not amortized 5 – 10 years 3 – 5 years 10 years over lease term no term 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. g. Intangible assets Intangible assets are comprised of an e-commerce platform, a purchased private label brand, licenses and permits as well as a licensing agreement with a third party. All 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 remaining useful life of 15 months. Amortization for the licenses and permits is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 90 months. Amortization of the licensing agreement is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 60 months. h. 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. i. Impairment of non-financial assets Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. 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. j. 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. k. Earnings per share Basic earnings 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. l. 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. m. 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 that do not meet the above criteria are recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as incurred. 19 APHRIA INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the years ended May 31, 2017 and May 31,2016 n. Financial instruments (vi) Financial liabilities and other financial liabilities Financial assets and other financial liabilities are classified into one of four categories: • 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) (v) 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. 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 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. 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) Embedded derivatives The Company has convertible loans receivables whereby balances can be converted into equity. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if certain criteria are met. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value; any directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value and changes therein are recognised in profit or loss. (viii) Classification of financial instruments Cash and cash equivalents – FVTPL Marketable securities – FVTPL Accounts receivables – loans and receivables Other receivables – loans and receivables Promissory notes receivable – loans and receivables Convertible note receivable – AFS Embedded derivative – embedded derivatives Long-term investments – FVTPL Accounts payable and accrued liabilities – other financial liabilities Promissory note payable – other financial liabilities Long-term debt – other financial liabilities (ix) Determination on fair value of long-term investments All long-term investments (other than Level 3 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 be adjusted using one or more of the valuation indicators described below. These are included in Level 3 in Note 17. Warrants of private companies are carried at their intrinsic value. o. 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. 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. 21 APHRIA INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the years ended May 31, 2017 and May 31,2016  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. The recoverable value of goodwill, indefinite and definite long-lived assets is determined using discounted future cash flow models, which incorporate assumptions regarding future events, specifically future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates. 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 investments 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. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS AND INVENTORY Management is required to make a number of estimates in calculating the fair value less costs to sell 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. ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES, IMPAIRMENT CONSIDERATIONS 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. Goodwill and indefinite life intangible asset impairment testing requires management to make critical estimates in the impairment testing model. On an annual basis, the Company tests whether goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are impaired. Impairment of definite long-lived assets is influenced by judgment in defining a CGU and determining the indicators of impairment, and estimates used to measure impairment losses. 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. p. 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, 2017 and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements: 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, measurement and derecognition of financial instruments and introduces a new impairment model for financial assets. The Company has performed a preliminary assessment of the potential impact of the adoption of IFRS9 on its consolidated financial statements based on its positions at May 31, 2017, which are discussed below. CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT IFRS 9 contains a new classification and measurement approach for financial assets that reflects the business model in which assets are managed and their cash flow characteristics. IFRS9 largely retains the existing requirements in IAS39 for the classification of financial liabilities. Based on its preliminary assessment, the Company does not believe that the new classification requirements will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. IMPAIRMENT IFRS 9 replaces the ‘incurred loss’ model in IAS 39 with a forward-looking ‘expected credit loss’ (“ECL”) model. Applying the ECL model will require considerable judgment, including consideration of how changes in economic factors affect ECLs, which will be determined on a probability-weighted basis. The new impairment model will apply to financial assets measured at amortized cost or those measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, except for investments in equity instruments, and to contract assets. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this change on its consolidated financial statements and is continuing to assess the impact of the ECL model on its other financial assets. The new standard also introduces expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation. These are expected to change the nature and extent of the Company’s disclosures about its financial instruments particularly in the year of the adoption of the new standard. The Company will apply the new rules retrospectively from June 1, 2018 with the practical expedients permitted under the standards. Comparatives will not be restated. 23 APHRIA INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the years ended May 31, 2017 and May 31,2016  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 continues to assess the impact of the standard on its investees with a focus on consulting contracts and royalty fees. The Company is still considering the impact on its customer loyalty programme, which is currently under consideration. The new standard will require that the total consideration received be allocated to the points and goods based on relative stand-alone selling prices rather than based on the residual method. The Company intends to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach which means that the cumulative impact of adoption will be recognized in retained earnings as of June 1, 2018 and that comparatives will not be restated. IFRS 16 – Leases, in January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, which specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognise, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with IFRS 16’s approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17. IFRS 16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, and a lessee shall either apply IFRS 16 with full retrospective effect or alternatively not restate comparative information but recognise the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 as an adjustment to opening equity at the date of initial application. Early adoption is permitted if IFRS 15 has also been adopted. Based on its current assets, interests and investments, no significant impact is anticipated from the new standard. 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 income and comprehensive income to improve clarity. 4. DISCLOSURE OF BUSINESS TRANSACTION 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. 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, 2017 management expects 0% of the remaining milestones to be achieved by December 31, 2018. Purchase price allocation was as follows: Net tangible assets acquired Intangible asset – CannWay brand Goodwill Deferred tax liability $ -- 4,428,000 1,200,000 (1,200,000) TOTAL PURCHASE PRICE RECORDED $ 4,428,000 Net tangible assets acquired included the following: Cash held in trust to fund liabilities outstanding at closing $ Accounts receivable Accounts payable HST payable Income taxes payable NET TANGIBLE ASSETS ACQUIRED $ 269,717 91,872 (219,505) (58,107) (83,977) -- The CannWay brand was originally being amortized, beginning January 2016, over 10 years on a straight- line basis. Subsequent to an impairment adjustment applied in February 2017, management revised its estimate for the remaining useful life and is amortizing the brand over 15 months from date of impairment on a straight-line basis. 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 in the prior year under General and administrative. Costs of issuing equity of $85,384 were applied against the fair value of the equity issued at the time of the acquisition. 25 APHRIA INC.

INCOME TAXES AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES In December 2015, the Company completed its proposed transaction between Black Sparrow and PNW as previously disclosed in July 2015. 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.

Included in costs of sales for the year ended May 31, 2017 is $99,252 of cannabis oil conversion costs and $58,176 related to the cost of accessories. The Company holds 668.5 kilograms of harvested cannabis (2016 – 457.3 kgs), 140.1 kilograms of harvested trim (2016 – nil kgs) and 1,091.3 litres of cannabis oils or 181.9 kilograms equivalent (2016 – 264.1 litres or 44.1 kilograms equivalent), at May 31, 2017. Biological assets are comprised of: Balance as at May 31, 2016 Cost incurred until harvest Effect of unrealized changes in fair value of biological assets Transferred to inventory upon harvest Transferred to capital assets BALANCE AS AT MAY 31, 2017 Net effect of changes in fair value of biological assets and inventory include: Unrealized change in fair value of biological assets Realized fair value increments on inventory sold in the year AMOUNT $ 697,997 4,188,319 5,004,615 (8,415,957) (112,225) $ 1,362,749 AMOUNT $ (5,004,615) 3,560,690 $ (1,443,925) The Company values medical cannabis plants at cost from the date of initial clipping from mother plants until the end of the twelfth week of its growing cycle. Measurement of the biological asset at fair value less costs to sell and costs to complete begins at the thirteenth week until harvest. The Company has determined the fair value less costs to sell of harvested cannabis to be $3.75 a gram. The Company has determined the fair value less costs to sell of its collected trim to be $3.00 a gram, upon harvest. The net effect of the fair value less cost to sell over and above historical cost was an increase in non-cash value of inventory of $1,443,925 during the year ended May 31, 2017 (2016 – decrease of $4,646). In determining the fair value of biological assets, management is required to make several estimates, including: the expected cost required to grow the cannabis up to the point of harvest; harvesting costs; selling costs; sales price; and, expected yields for the cannabis plant. All of which represent Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy. These estimates are subject to volatility in market prices and several uncontrollable factors, which could significantly affect the fair value of biological assets in future periods. 31 APHRIA INC.

In February 2017, the Company recorded an impairment of its intangible asset for the CannWay brand following the changes to reimbursement allowances for veterans, as announced by Veterans Affairs Canada (“VAC”). The changes announced by VAC lowered the reimbursement amount to $8.50 per gram and effective May 26, 2017, limited individual patients usage to 3.0 grams per day. Subsequent to its impairment test management concluded a write-down of $3,500,000 be applied to the value of the CannWay brand, and has reflected this on the statement of income and comprehensive income. In quantifying the impairment, the Company compared the carrying value as at the measurement date to its recoverable amount. The Company calculated its recoverable amount using the discounted cash flow technique, forecasting future sales attributable to the CannWay patient base over the remaining useful life based on the revised cap on VAC reimbursement policies combined with our current cost structure, net present valuing the result using a 15% discount rate. 35 APHRIA INC.

On October 19, 2016, Aphria loaned $1,500,000 to CannaRoyalty Corp. (“CR”) as a convertible debenture. The convertible debenture bears interest at 5%, paid annually, matures in three years and includes the right to convert the debenture into common shares of CR at $2.00 per common share at any time before maturity.

The option to settle payments in common shares represents an embedded derivative in the form of a call option to the Company. This derivative asset is initially recognized by comparing a similar instrument without the conversion option and discounting the fair value of the host contract with the non-convertible instrument interest rate. The fair value of the derivative asset related to the convertible note is $173,000 at May 31, 2017. As at May 31, 2017, the convertible note receivable totalled $1,533,548. 16.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company has classified its cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and long-term investments, with the exception of the debenture in CannaRoyalty Corp., as fair value through profit or loss, accounts receivable and other receivables and promissory notes receivable as loans and receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, promissory notes payable, and long-term debt as other financial liabilities. The debentures in CannaRoyalty Corp. are accounted for on at fair value with changes in fair value of the debt instrument recorded through other comprehensive income and changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative recorded in the statement of operations. There was no change in the fair value of the debt instrument in the period. The carrying values of other receivables, promissory notes receivable, 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 $32,185,454 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 May 31, 2017 was $32,154,410. 49 APHRIA INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the years ended May 31, 2017 and May 31,2016 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 Investments in CannaRoyalty originally classified as a level 3 investments were reclassified subsequent to the investee going public, where the Company could value its investment based on the share price quoted in active markets. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: credit risk; liquidity; currency rate; and, interest rate price risk. Level 2 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) from observable market data (a) Credit risk Level 3 inputs for assets and liabilities not based upon observable market data LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 MAY 31, 2017 Financial assets at FVTPL Cash and cash equivalents $ 79,910,415 $ -- $ Marketable securities 87,346,787 Embedded derivative -- -- -- -- -- 173,000 79,910,415 87,346,787 173,000 Long-term investments 14,946,235 -- 12,841,343 27,787,578 $ 182,203,437 $ -- $ 13,014,343 $ 195,217,780 The maximum credit exposure at May 31, 2017 is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, 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. Marketable securities are placed with major Canadian investment banks and are represented by investment grade corporate bonds. 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.

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, 2017, management regards liquidity risk to be low. (c) Currency rate risk As at May 31, 2017, a portion of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities held in USD consist of marketable securities, 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 Canadian dollars. 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. (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. 51 APHRIA INC.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On June 1, 2017, the Company’s subsidiary, CannWay was amalgamated with Pure Natures Wellness Inc. (o/a Aphria). On June 22, 2017, the Company purchased land and buildings from a third party for approximately $500,000. On June 28, 2017, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Tokyo Smoke for the purchase of 140,845 common shares, for a total cost of $1,000,000. 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. 32.
