Who we are

We are Little Green Pharma Ltd (Little Green 
Pharma, LGP, the Company or Group): Australia's 
most trusted medicinal cannabis company and a 
leading global medicinal cannabis supplier.

Internationally, we are growing rapidly as a leading supplier across 

Europe, as we develop and roll-out bespoke strains for our distribution 

partners, while continuing to grow the LGP brand across key markets.

In Australia, we have become Australia's most trusted medicinal 

cannabis brand, as our popular Australian and Danish GMP flower and 

oil product suite, paired with our industry-leading engagement teams, 

provide patients and prescribers with access to world-class medicines 

and support services.

Today, our strategy is focused on three key goals: rapidly grow sales, 

rightsize and optimise operations, and provide an industry-leading 

patient and prescriber experience across all key markets.

Our longstanding experience in best-practice product development 

and manufacturing, paired with supply and distribution relationships, 

position the Company perfectly for future industry evolution by allowing 

LGP to supply bespoke products into countries with even the most 

rigorous pharmaceutical requirements.

Meanwhile, we continue clinical studies into the safety and efficacy 

of our medicines while developing new and innovative medicinal 

formulations for our patients in the future.

We are proud to be Little Green Pharma, 
transforming lives for the better.

We're big on changing lives.

We are passionate about transforming lives. 

Our vision is to reimagine cannabis medicines and do 

extraordinary things for our patients. 

It’s at the heart of everything we do, and defines our culture.

A message from the  
Chief Executive Officer

Message to shareholders  

For Little Green Pharma, the 9 months to 31 March 

the previous comparative 9 month period of 1 July 

2022 was a huge year, as the Company relentlessly

Australia, Denmark, and overseas.

In the genetics space, our genetics program 

continues to produce strains bespoke designed 

The result has been outstanding: the Company

and manufacturing facility located in the European 

time and resources in developing out a world-class 

Union, capable of scaling to meet almost any third-

bank of cannabis cultivars. As of writing, LGP has 

party demand. The Group’s success in developing 

over 20 strains in various stages of development, 

partnerships with key distributors in Germany and 

with the Group’s recent entry into exclusive supply

the shared development of bespoke flower strains 

sold exclusively to key purchasers in high-volume 

jurisdictions such as Germany, paired with the 

continued roll-out of LGP branded oil and flower 

products in the same jurisdictions.

This European presence also allows the Group 

to compete in markets not previously available, 

such as Italy, Portugal and Scandinavia, while also 

dramatically reducing approval time and logistics  

and costs. Importantly, it positions Little Green 

Pharma perfectly to take advantage of significant 

new markets in France, Italy and Poland as they 

either grow or open up in the future. To date, the 

These developments position LGP Denmark as a 

key ingredient to LGP’s success in meeting current 

market demand, while granting the potential to 

access more challenging and lucrative European 

markets in the future.

In Australia, the Company continues to achieve 

construction and production goals, with its Western

its manufacturing facilities post-financial year,

Strategy

LGP’s core strategy remains 
unchanged: build sales in operating 
jurisdictions, leverage the resulting 
manufacturing expertise and 
capacity to unlock high-value 
offshore markets, and continue to 
develop new and innovative products 
to gain short-term market share and 
facilitate long-term growth.

7

However, in the past 9 months LGP has refined its 

core strategy into the following initiatives:  

•  build the most trusted patient and prescriber 

engagement teams in Australia  

•  develop and supply high-quality bespoke strains 
for key distribution partners across Europe  

•  enter into exclusive supply arrangements with 
partners for LGP branded medicines, including 

for markets with high regulatory barriers to 

entry such as Italy, Poland, Portugal and France; 

and  

•  continue its high potential drug development 
and R&D programs, including new meet-the-

market products and key research initiatives  

The success of this strategy is evident in LGP’s 

year-on-year growth in prescriber and patient 

numbers and product sales; its entry into various 

foundational supply and distribution agreements 

with key partners such as Four 20 Pharma, 

Demecan and Sana Life Sciences; its development 

of a world-class genetics portfolio in Denmark; 

and its participation in a range of clinical studies 

and continued evolution of its world-class QUEST 

research initiative.  

The Company’s growth strategy comprises three key pillars:

1

Patient acquisition 
in operating 
jurisdictions

Sales in Australia and 
Denmark demonstrate 
market validity and generate 
immediate cashflow to 
support development of 
international pathways.

2

Clear pathway to 
international sales

Early mover commercial 
volumes in international 
markets the primary 
mechanism to secure and 
grow offshore market share.

3

Product and drug 
delivery innovations

Develop unique delivery 
systems for patients in 
the future to solve real 
patient problems and 
differentiate LGP.

CAPABILITY

Manufacturing

The LGP Group recognises that global medicinal cannabis markets are not static, and frequently evolve with a 

swiftness more comparable to a fast-moving consumer goods market. Because of this, LGP has implemented 

a substantial and wide-ranging genetics program, as well as optimising its new equipment and production 

validation processes to ensure it can meet consumer demand for new products. The Company now has a 

clear understanding of the GMP product validation timelines for the generation of new products and has 

spent considerable time and resources optimising its facilities to ensure the rapid turnaround of new strains 

as these are developed.

Pathway to sustainability –  
green, on both sides of the equation

LGP’s core business of supplying cannabis medicines to 
patients suffering a variety of medical conditions means 
the Company already has a strong ESG profile.

In particular, LGP's product and service offerings mean the Company 

automatically scores very strongly across three of the Six Dimensions of 

Impact, being economic vitality, lifetime well-being, and societal enablement. 

Meanwhile, LGP's Green Committee focuses on the Group's performance 

against the remaining Six Dimensions of Impact with the goal of identifying any 

remaining deficiencies and facilitating the Company’s ESG compliance journey. 

We believe these efforts will create distinctive 
competencies and create value for the benefit 
of both shareholders and society.

The following table sets out the Six Dimensions 

of Impact including the Company’s current 

performance and areas of focus:

forms part of this Directors’ Report. 

During the 9 month financial year: 
•  LGP generated $10,529,947 in revenue reflecting a loss 
of $18,051,760 (compared to the previous financial 

year’s profit after tax of $22,215,518, predominately 

reflecting the impact of the bargain purchase of the 

Denmark Facility) 

•  the Company experienced record demand in Australia 
with over 11,900 new patients, a 12% increase in new 

patients from the previous financial year, and a 63% 

increase compared to the previous comparative 

reporting period of 1 July 2020 – 31 March 2021 

•  over 680 Australian health professionals prescribed the 
Group’s medicinal cannabis products, which included 

a 21% increase in new active prescribers from the 

previous financial year, and a 64% increase in new active 

prescribers compared to the previous comparative 

reporting period of 1 July 2020 – 31 March 2021. 

25

As at 31 March 2022, more than 27,100 patients 

have been prescribed the Group’s medicinal 

cannabis products by more than 930 healthcare 

professionals in Australia alone.

Meanwhile, gross margin decreased to 52% in the 

financial year ended 31 March 2022, down from 82% 

in the previous financial year, predominately due 

to an increase in the sale of medicinal cannabis 

flower with a lower margin and a reduction in the 

estimated fair value of flower at the date of harvest 

compared to the prior year. 

As at 31 March 2022, the Group had a cash 

position of $20 million. On 30 June 2022 the 

Company will pay CAD 7.5 million of its loan with 

Canopy Growth Corporation with the parties 

agreeing to defer repayment of CAD 3.57 million at 

an interest rate of 8.57% until 31 December 2022.

During the financial year, the Group’s key focus 

was on integrating, right-sizing and improving the 

Danish Facility and its product offering, finalising 

the expansion of its WA production operations, 

further developing sales channels into Europe 

and internationally, and providing educational and 

service support to healthcare professionals and 

patients in Australia. 

Meanwhile, the Group’s research and development 

activities continue to be focussed on the development 

of new and innovative drug delivery systems and 

products to meet current and future market demand.

the pandemic did result in increased costs and

create value for shareholders. The Remuneration 

Committee has designed the STI and LTI Plans to 

motivate, retain and reward executive performance 

aligned to the Company’s strategic objectives.

Prior to its initial public offering (IPO) in February 

2020, the Company’s LTI Plan sought to maximise 

shareholder benefit though the issue of 

performance rights tied to Company valuation and 

options with premium exercise prices. Subsequently 

in conjunction with its IPO, the Company aligned its 

LTI Plan with performance rights targeting increases 

in the Company’s share price, including initial share 

price milestones of $0.55, $0.65 and $0.75, each 

of which have been achieved, and subsequently 

performance rights with higher price milestones, 

being $0.95, $1.10 and $1.25, which have not been 

achieved to date. Beginning financial year 2021, the 

Company has moved towards aligning executive 

performance with revenue, EBITDA, free cash flow 

and cost reduction milestones to drive the Company 

towards profitability.

Variable remuneration – Long Term Incentive Plan

The LTI Plan is an equity incentive designed to create sustainable growth and shareholder value.

In the prior reporting period, the executives successfully achieved the share price milestone conditions 

of the 3 million long-term incentive performance rights issued to the executives prior to the Company’s 

Initial Public Offering. Since that time, 2 million of these performance rights have vested and 1.5 million of 

these vested performance rights have been exercised, resulting in the issue of 1.5 million ordinary shares in 

the Company to the executives. The vesting of the remaining 1 million performance rights is subject to the 

continued employment of the executives for 24 months from the date of satisfaction of the relevant share 

price milestones. 

During the year in August 2021, the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director were issued 3 million 

performance rights on the following terms:

Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

Little Green Pharma Ltd ACN 615 586 215 (the Company, LGP) was incorporated in Australia and is 

a for profit company limited by shares. The financial report covers LGP and its controlled entities 

(the Group). The Company’s registered office is at Level 2, 66 Kings Park Road, West Perth, 6005 

Western Australia.

On 15 February 2022 the Company resolved to change its financial year to 31 March. The current 

reporting period is for a 9 month period ending 31 March 2022 and the comparative reporting 

period is for a 12 month period ending 30 June 2021.

a) Statement of compliance

These consolidated general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards 

Board and the Corporations Act 2001 which ensures compliance with the International Financial 

Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. 

The Company is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements which were 

authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 30 June 2022.

b) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain assets 

that are measured at revalued amounts or fair value, as explained in accounting polices below.

Certain comparative amounts have been re-presented to conform with the current period’s 

presentation to better reflect the nature of the financial position and performance of the Group, in 

particular:

•  On 8 February 2022, LGP announced its intention to demerge Reset Mind Sciences Ltd. In 

addition, the board resolved to dispose of the Group’s Lab Services Denmark ApS entity and 

negotiations with several interested parties have subsequently taken place. In accordance 

with AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, the Group has:

o  presented the loss from Reset Mind Sciences Ltd and Lab Services Denmark ApS 

separately from its continuing operations in its Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss 

and Other Comprehensive Income in the current period and re-presentation of amounts 

presented in the prior period. Refer to Note 6 for further details;

o  presented the assets and liabilities of Reset Mind Sciences Ltd and Lab Services Denmark 

ApS as held for sale separately from other assets and liabilities in the Consolidated 

Statement of Financial Position as at 31 March 2022 with no re-presentation of amounts 

presented in the prior period. Refer to Note 6 for further detail; and

o  continued to present the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and Consolidated 

Statement of Cash Flows including both continuing and discontinued operations.

•  Restated the comparative information to reflect the finalisation of the provisional accounting 

for the acquisition accounting of LGP Denmark ApS. Refer to Note 17 for further detail.

FINANCIAL REPORT

c) Going concern

These consolidated financial statements have 

been prepared on the going concern basis which 

assumes that the Group will be able to realise its 

assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal 

course of business for the foreseeable future.

The Group incurred a net loss of $18,286,249 during 

the 9 month period ended 31 March 2022 (net profit 

of $22,215,518 for 12 months ended 30 June 2021), 

and net cash outflows from operating and investing 

activities totalled $24,828,596 (30 June 2021: 

$17,883,965). As at 31 March 2022, the Group had 

cash and cash equivalents of $20,086,504 and had 

net current assets of $18,898,234.

Subsequent to year end, the Group has agreed 

with Canopy Growth Corporation to defer 

repayment of CAD 3.57 million of the Loan Note 

until 31 December 2022.

•  Securing agreement and receipt of proceeds 

from the sale of the Danish GMP Lab operations;

•  Receipt of the government Research and 

Development tax incentive of $2.3 million which 

is accrued for in Note 3;

•  Repayment of the deferred amount of CAD 3.57 
million of the Loan Note with Canopy Growth 

Corporation until 31 December 2022
•  Drawing down on the existing $2.0 million 

financing facility with National Australia Bank 

as required; and

•  Managing costs and production in line with 

the cash flow forecast.

Whilst the Directors are confident of the Group’s ability 

to continue as a going concern, due to the factors 

mentioned above, there is a material uncertainty that 

may cast doubt whether the Group will be able to 

continue as a going concern and therefore, whether it 

will realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the

include adjustments relating to the recoverability 

and classification of recorded asset amounts

continue as a going concern.

d) Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All 

intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are all entities over 

which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has 

rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns 

through its power over the entity.

The Company has the following subsidiaries:

e) Functional and presentation currency

The Company’s and Group’s functional currency is Australian dollars and the Group’s presentation currency 

is also Australian dollars. All amounts presented are in Australian dollars unless otherwise specified.

f) New and revised Australian Accounting Standards

In the current year, the Company has applied all new and revised standards and interpretations issued by 

the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to its operations or effective for accounting 

periods starting on or after 1 July 2021. The Group did not have to change its accounting policies or make 

retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Cash and cash equivalents

d) Property, plant and equipment

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and 

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost 

redeemable short-term deposits with a maturity 

less accumulated depreciation. Property, plant and 

of less than three months held at major financial 

equipment are depreciated over their expected 

institutions.

b) Biological assets

The Group measures biological assets consisting 

of cannabis plants at fair value less cost to sell up 

to the point of harvest, which becomes the basis 

for the cost of work in progress or finished goods 

inventories after harvest.

Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value 

less cost to sell are included in the results of 

operations of the related period.

c) Inventory

lives based on the following:

•  Land – not depreciated
•  Buildings – units of production
•  Production equipment – units of production 
•  Office leasehold improvements – life of the lease
•  Office equipment – 2 to 5 years straight line

Depreciation for plant and equipment is recorded 

once the asset is available for use.

An item of plant and equipment is derecognised 

upon disposal or when no future economic benefits 

are expected to arise from the continued use of the 

asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the 

asset, determined as the difference between the net 

Inventory which is classified as work in progress 

disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the

asset, is recognised in profit or loss.

reviewed annually.

intended to be processed into oil or sold as flower 

and is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable 

value. Harvested cannabis is transferred from 

biological assets at its fair value at harvest less 

costs to sell, which becomes deemed cost. Any 

subsequent post-harvest costs are capitalised 

to work in progress. Inventory consisting of work 

in progress and finished goods is written down to 

its net realisable value if the carrying amount of 

inventory exceeds its estimated selling price less 

costs of disposal. Any amount written down is 

recognised as part of cost of goods sold. Cost is 

determined using the average cost basis.

f) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost and 

amortised over their estimated useful lives at the 

following annual rate:

•  Computer software – 2 to 5 years straight line
•  Patents – 20 years straight line
•  Pharmaceutical quality systems – 10 years

Pharmaceutical quality systems are developed to 

provide the policies, procedures and standards 

required for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) 

with amortisation to be recognised from the 

commencement of manufacturing activities in the 

Company’s own facility.

Estimated useful lives are reviewed annually.

49

g) Foreign currency translation

Transactions in currencies other than the 

functional currency of the relevant entity are 

recorded at exchange rates prevailing on the 

dates of the transactions. At the end of each 

reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities 

denominated in foreign currencies are translated 

at the period-end exchange rate. Revenues and 

expenses are translated at the exchange rates 

approximating those in effect on the date of the 

transactions. Exchange gains and losses arising 

on translation are included in net loss. For the 

purpose of presenting consolidated financial 

statements, assets and liabilities of the Group’s 

foreign operations are translated at exchange 

rates prevailing on the reporting date. Income 

and expense items are translated at the average 

exchange rate for the period. Any exchange 

differences which arise are recognised in other 

comprehensive income and accumulated in a 

foreign exchange translation reserve.

h) Revenue recognition and gross 
margin

Revenue is recognised at the transaction price, 

which is the amount of consideration to which 

the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for 

transferring promised goods to a customer.

i) Research and development

Research costs are expensed as incurred. 

Development expenditures are capitalised only if 

development costs can be measured reliably, the 

product or process is technically and commercially 

feasible, future economic benefits are probable, 

and the Group intends to and has sufficient

resources to complete the development to use or

of one performance obligation being the delivery 

are expensed as incurred. Other than certain patent 

of that product to the customer. Revenue is 

recognised at that date as this represents the 

point in time when control has been transferred 

to the customer with only the passage of time 

required before payment is due. Payment terms 

are generally 30 days.

Cost of sales represents the deemed cost 

of inventory that arose from the fair value 

measurement of biological assets, subsequent 

post-harvest costs capitalised to inventory, 

purchased dried cannabis, costs to produce 

cannabis oils capitalised to inventory and 

packaging costs.

development costs, to date, no development costs 

have been capitalised.

j) Employee benefits

Provision is made for employee benefits such as 

wages, salaries and annual leave arising from 

services rendered to the end of the reporting 

period. Employee benefits which are expected to be 

wholly settled within one year have been measured 

at the amounts expected to be paid when the 

liability is settled. Where an obligation in respect 

of long term employee benefits arises, that benefit 

is discounted to determine its present value. Re-

measurements are recognised in the profit or loss in 

the period in which they arise.

50

LITTLE GREEN PHARMA Annual Report 20229

FINANCIAL REPORT

k) Share-based payments

i. Equity settled transactions 

The Company grants options and performance rights to directors, officers and employees under the Group’s 

Share Incentive Plan. The fair value of these instruments are recognised as an expense over the vesting 

period with a corresponding increase in equity. An individual is classified as an employee when they are an 

employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provide services similar to those performed by a 

direct employee, including directors of the Company. At each financial position reporting date, the amount 

recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of instruments that are expected to vest.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest except for equity-settled transactions for 

which vesting is conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition.

Instruments with a graded vesting schedule are accounted for as separate grants with different vesting 

periods and fair values. The fair value is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or other 

appropriate models taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted.

Where the terms of an equity settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognised is the expense as 

if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognised for any modification which increases 

the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as 

measured at the date of modification. When an equity award is cancelled, it is treated as if it vests on the date 

of the cancellation and any expense not recognised for the award is recognised immediately.

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the 

fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in 

which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the 

entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.

ii. Cash settled transactions

A liability is recognised for the fair value of cash settled transactions. The fair value is measured initially 

and at each reporting date up to and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognised 

in employee benefits expense. The fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date with 

recognition of a corresponding liability. The fair value is determined based on the expected value of cash to 

be settled for the liability.

l) Goods and services tax

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net 

of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), 

except where the amount of GST incurred is not 

recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office 

(ATO). Receivables and payable are stated inclusive 

of GST. Cash flows in the statement of cash 

flows are included on a gross basis and the GST 

component of cash flows arising from investing 

and financing activities which is recoverable from, 

or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as 

operating cash flows.

51

m) Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and 

deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or 

loss except to the extent that it relates to items 

recognised directly in equity. Current tax expense 

is the expected tax payable on taxable income for 

the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively 

enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments 

to tax payable with regard to previous years.

Deferred tax is recorded using the liability method, 

providing for temporary differences, between 

the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for 

financial reporting purposes and the amounts used 

for taxation purposes. Temporary differences are 

not provided for the initial recognition of assets or 

liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable 

loss, and differences relating to investments in 

subsidiary to the extent that they will probably not 

reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of

losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable 

profit will be available against which the deductible 

temporary differences and losses can be utilised.

A provision is recognised for those matters for 

which the tax determination is uncertain, but it 

is considered probable that there will be a future 

outflow of funds to a tax authority. The provisions 

are measured at the best estimate of the amount 

expected to become payable.

o) Government grants

Government grants are not recognised until there is 

reasonable assurance that the Company will comply 

with the conditions attaching to them and that the 

grants will be received. 

Government grants that are receivable as 

compensation for expenses already incurred or for 

the purpose of giving immediate financial support 

to the Group with no future related costs are 

recognised in profit or loss in the period in which 

they become receivable and are recognised in other 

income on a gross basis.

p) Profit / (Loss) per share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing total 

net loss attributable to the Group for the year by the 

weighted average number of shares of the Group 

outstanding during the year. When the Group is in 

a loss position, all potential share issuances on the 

exercise of options or warrants is anti-dilutive. In the 

event of a loss position, diluted loss per share is the 

same a basic loss per share.

future cash flows are discounted to their present value 

systematic basis is more representative of the time 

using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current 

pattern in which economic benefits from the leased 

market assessments of the time value of money 

assets are consumed.

The lease liability is initially measured at the 

present value of the lease payments that are not 

paid at the commencement date, discounted 

by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate 

cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its 

incremental borrowing rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of 

the lease liability comprise:

•  fixed lease payments (including in-substance 
fixed payments), less any lease incentives 

receivable;

•  the amount expected to be payable by the 
lessee under residual value guarantees; and

•  the exercise of extension options which are 

reasonably certain to be exercised.

and the risks specific to the asset.  If the recoverable 

amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its 

carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is 

reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment 

loss is recognised in profit or loss for the period. For an 

asset that does not generate largely independent cash 

inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the 

cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Management considers both external and internal 

sources of information in determining if there 

are any indications that the Group’s plant and 

equipment or intangible assets are impaired. 

Management considers the market, economic, and 

legal environment in which the Group operates that 

are not within its control and affect the recoverable 

amount of its plant and equipment and intangible 

assets. Management considers the manner in which 

the plant and equipment and intangible assets are

The lease liability is subsequently measured by 

increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest 

on the lease liability (using the effective interest 

method) and by reducing the carrying amount to 

reflect the lease payments made.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the 

shorter period of lease term and useful life 

of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers 

ownership of the underlying asset or the cost 

of the right-of-use asset reflects that the 

Group expects to exercise a purchase option,

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 recognised previously.

s) Segment reporting

A segment is a component of the Group that engages in 

business activities in which revenues and expenses are 

incurred, that has distinguishable financial information 

available, and whose operating results are regularly 

reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. The 

nature of products sold, cultivation and manufacturing 

processes and customers have similar economic 

characteristics.  The nature of the regulatory environment 

is consistent in the markets the Group operates in. 

t) Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method with the consideration being measured 

at fair value and any acquisition related costs being expensed. At the acquisition date, the fair value of all identifiable 

assets and liabilities are recognised, except that deferred tax balances and any employee benefit obligations are 

recognised and measured in accordance with IAS 12 and IAS 19 respectively. If the fair value of the assets and 

liabilities which have been acquired is greater than the consideration paid, the difference is recognised as a gain on 

bargain purchase in the profit and loss. Initial estimates are made on a provisional basis, with final fair values being 

determined within 12 months of the acquisition. 

u) Significant accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management 

to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 

at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results may 

differ from these estimates.

Significant estimates are evaluation and assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation 

uncertainty that management has made, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of 

assets and liabilities. Significant estimates used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements 

include, but are not limited to, the following:

Biological assets and inventory

Deferred income taxes

The Group measures biological assets consisting of

estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Share based compensation

The fair value of share based compensation 

expense is estimated using the Black-Scholes 

option pricing model or other similar models and 

relies on a number of estimated inputs, such as 

the expected life of the option, the volatility of the 

underlying share price, and the risk-free rate of 

return. For share based compensation dependent 

upon milestones, significant estimates are required 

as to the probability of that milestone being 

achieved. Changes in the underlying estimated 

inputs may result in materially different results.

Business combinations

When a business combination occurs, the fair value 

of the assets and liabilities acquired is estimated on 

a provisional basis due to the inherent difficulties in 

both identifying all assets and liabilities acquired as 

well as determining their fair values. Management 

has used a third party valuation report to determine 

the fair value of the fixed assets while all other fair 

values have been determined using the judgements 

and estimates as detailed within this “Significant 

accounting judgments and estimates” note.

Research and development incentive

The research and development incentive receivable 

is based on management’s best estimate of the 

nature and amount of expenditure incurred during 

the year that will meet the required rebate criteria.

Trade receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice value less any allowance for expected credit 

losses. They are non-interest bearing and generally on 30-day terms.

The Group has a limited number of counter parties who it trades with on a regular basis and as such does not 

expect to incur any material credit losses.

The Company receives an annual research and development tax incentive from the Australian Government 

on eligible expenditure incurred during the financial year. For the financial year ended 31 March 2022, eligible 

expenditure is expected to result in a rebate of $2.329 million (2021: $1.889 million).

965,244

Biological assets are classified as Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy with the following inputs and 
assumptions being subject to significant volatility and uncontrollable factors, which could significantly 
affect the fair value of the biological assets in future periods:
•  plant waste – wastage of plants based on various stages of growth;
•  yield per plant – represents the weighted average grams of dry cannabis expected to be harvested from a 

cannabis plant, based on historical yields;

•  cannabinoid yield per gram – represents the weighted average cannabinoids expected to be obtained from a 

dry gram of cannabis, based on historical yields;

•  selling price, less costs to sell – based on estimated selling price per gram of dry cannabis based on historical 

sales and expected sales;

•  percentage of costs incurred to date compared to the total costs to be incurred (to estimate the fair value of an 
in-process plant) – represents estimated costs to bring a gram of cannabis from propagation to harvest; and
•  stage of plant growth – represents the weighted average age in of the plant out of the average growing cycle as 

at period end date.

In the current period, the biological assets were approximately 48% complete (30 June 2021 - 34%) as to the next 
expected harvest date. The average number of days from the point of propagation to harvest is 91 days.

A 20% increase or decrease in the estimated yield of cannabis per plant would result in an increase or decrease 
in the fair value of biological assets of $215,234 at 31 March 2022 (30 June 2021 - $140,000). A 25% increase or 
decrease in the average selling price per gram less cost to sell would result in an increase or decrease in the fair 
value of the biological assets of $269,043 at 31 March 2022 (30 June 2021 - $175,000). At harvest, the estimated 

fair value of a gram of biomass is $3.50 (30 June 2021 - $4.00).

In the current period, $67,943 worth of inventory was written down to its recoverable amount. In addition to this, 
as part of the commissioning of the Danish Facility while creating its own genetics, $8,616,331 was incurred 
producing medicinal cannabis flower for which the genetics were licenced from Canopy Growth Corp. Under the 
production licence all product which has not been sold by 21 December 2022 must be destroyed. These costs 
have not been capitalised to inventory on the basis that the Company does not yet have a contracted purchaser 
for this these specific strains nor are there a history of sales. Under the licence agreement, cultivation of the 
Canopy Growth Corp strains must cease by 21 June 2022.

6. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE

In February 2022, LGP announced the intention to demerge Reset Mind Sciences Ltd. In addition, the board 

has resolved to dispose of the Group’s Lab Services Denmark Aps operations and negotiations with several 

interested parties have subsequently taken place. These operations, which are expected to be disposed 

of within 12 months, have been classified as a disposal group held for sale and presented separately in the 

statement of financial position. The proceeds of disposal of Lab Services Denmark ApS are expected to 

substantially exceed the carrying amount of the related net assets and there will be no loss related to the 

demerger of Reset Mind Sciences Ltd and therefore no impairment has been recognised. The major classes 

of assets and liabilities comprising the operations classified as held for sale are as follows:

The fair value of the assets and liabilities are finalised. The adjustment between the provisional fair 

value of the assets and liabilities presented at 30 June 2021 and the final fair value of the assets and liabilities 

presented at 31 March 2022, relate to the biological asset and the flower inventory acquired. On reassessment 

the fair value of those assets has been determined to be nil. The remaining balance within inventory 

represents the fair value of the consumables.

The acquisition of Canopy Growth Denmark ApS likely resulted in a gain on bargain purchase due to Canopy 

Growth Corporation divesting many of its noncore assets globally and being unwilling to sell the Denmark 

operation to a large Canadian or United States competitor.

Total Australian tax losses for which no deferred tax assets has been recognised is $7,608,247 (30 June 2021: 

$7,069,776). Utilisation of carry forward tax losses is dependent upon the satisfaction of the requirements of 

the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 within Australia (continuity of ownership and same business test with no 

expiry if tests are achieved) and the relevant loss recoupment provisions in subsidiaries in foreign jurisdictions. 

The Company has no material uncertainties over income tax treatments in Australia. The Danish subsidiary has 

a statutory tax rate of 22% and historic tax losses of the acquired company are not believed to be available for 

use by the Group. Current year tax losses from the Danish operations not recognised are $12,035,218.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are attributable to the following:

Deferred tax (asset)/liability

• Biological assets

• Prepayments

• Plant and equipment

• Net lease liability

• Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 

• Unrealised FX loss

• 40-880 tax balance

• Employee entitlements

   Net deferred tax (asset)/liabilities

   Benefit of tax losses not recognised

Deferred tax assets not recognised are $103,954.

FINANCIAL REPORT

On 19 July 2021, the Extraordinary General meeting resolved to issue 4,500,000 performance rights. There 

are three classes of rights, each with 1,500,000 rights which entitles the holder to acquire one fully paid 

share for nil consideration.

Each class of share right has a price hurdle, being $0.95, $1.10 and $1.25 respectively. A hurdle needs to 

be satisfied within three years of the grant date and if achieved, and the employee remains employed 

then they will receive a third of the performance rights immediately, a third on the first anniversary of the 

milestone being achieved and the final third on the second anniversary. If a vesting hurdle is not achieved 

within three years or the employee leaves, the unvested performance rights lapse. The inputs into the 

model were as follows:

Weighted average share price 

Weighted average exercise price 

Expected future volatility 

Expected life 

Risk free rate 

Expected dividend yields 

$0.86

Nil

85%

3 years

0.60%

Nil

Expected volatility was determined by calculating the historical volatility of the Group’s share price over 

the previous years as well as historical volatility of a basket of comparable companies over recent trading 

periods. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for 

the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.

On 7 March 2022, 500,000 performance rights were exercised for nil consideration.

During the reporting period, the Company issued 105,000 retention rights to Non-executive Directors with vesting 

occurring on the fourth anniversary of the IPO date (February 2024). Each retention right has a nil exercise price 

and a fair value of $0.84. The retention rights were approved at the Extraordinary General meeting.

Employee share incentive plan

During the reporting period the Company issued 620,000 shares and 562,000 share rights under the 

Employee Share Incentive Plan relating to the financial year ended 30 June 2021. The equity instruments 

had a fair value of $0.565 at grant date. The share rights have a nil exercise price and vest evenly in two 

tranches on 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2023 assuming the recipient remains employed by LGP.

In addition, the Company intends to issue share rights under the Employee Share Incentive Plan relating to 

the period ended 31 March 2022. The share rights will have a nil exercise price and vest in three tranches 

on 31 March 2022, 31 March 2023 and March 2024 assuming the recipient remains employed by LGP.

(1)  The carrying value of the cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, refundable deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities 

and loan note approximate the fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. 

(2)  The Company holds an investment in a non-listed entity. The non-listed shares are not actively traded. As quoted prices in active markets 

are unavailable, consideration is given to precedent transactions involving the sale of the company’s shares, as a basis to assess the value 
of the equity investment.

The Group is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks:

Currency risk

Interest rate risk

The Company’s functional and presentation currency 
is the Australian dollar and the majority of its assets, 
liabilities, revenue and expenditures are Australian dollar 
denominated. The Company's German subsidiary has a Euro 
functional currency and the majority of its assets, liabilities 
and expenditures are Euro denominated, its Swiss subsidiary 
has a CHF functional currency and the majority of its assets, 
liabilities and expenditures are Swiss franc denominated and 
its Danish subsidiary has a DKK functional currency and the 
majority of its assets, liabilities and expenditures are Danish 
krone denominated other than the Loan note of $11,876,669 
which is denominated in Canadian dollars. A 10% change 
in the Danish krone to Canadian exchange rate without a 
change in the Australian exchange rate would result in a 
foreign exchange gain or loss of $1,187,666 for the Group. 

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss to the Group 
if a customer or third-party to a financial instrument 
fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Group’s 
maximum exposure to credit risk as at 31 March 2022 is 
the carrying value of its financial assets. The Group’s cash 
and refundable deposits are predominately held in large 
Australian financial institutions. With regard to receivables, 
the Group’s exposure to credit risk is to a limited number 
of counterparties who are provided credit in the normal 
course of business. The Group has not experienced any 
historical losses on receivables and hence the estimated 
credit loss is immaterial.

Interest rate risk is the risk the fair value or future cash 
flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of 
changes in market interest rates. Financial assets and 
liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Group 
to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group does not hold 
any material financial liabilities with variable interest rates 
other than the National Australia Bank loan of $3,770,000 
which has an interest rate of 3.795%. A 10% change in the 
interest rate would result in an increase or decrease in the 

interest charge of $14,307.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to 
meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. 
The Group manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash 
flows from operations and anticipating any investing 
and financing activities. Management and the Board of 
Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and 
approval of significant expenditures and commitments. All 
liabilities other than lease liabilities and Loan Note fall due 
within 6 months with the carrying amount equalling total 
contractual cashflows other than the Loan Note which 
accrues interest at 5% per annum.

22. OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Group’s Chief Executive Officer who is the chief operating decision maker has historically managed 

the business, made resource allocation decisions and assessed performance based on the operations 

as a whole and therefore the consolidated financial statements represented the single operating 

segment. The acquisition of the Denmark facility on 21 June 2021 has resulted in the Company operating 

in two segments for the financial year ended 31 March 2022, Australia and Europe.

the current period, the production facility and two adjacent properties were acquired extinguishing 

commitments totalling $1,384,618.

Bank guarantees

The Group has bank guarantees in the amount of $118,594 outstanding as at 31 March 2022  

(30 June 2021: $118,594).

24. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Group’s objective when managing its capital is to ensure sufficient debt and equity financing to fund 

its planned operations in a way that maximises the shareholder return given the assumed risks of its 

operations. Through the ongoing management of its capital, the Company will modify the structure of 

its capital based on changing economic conditions. In doing so, the Company may issue new shares 

or take on debt. Annual budgeting is the primary tool used to manage the Group’s capital. Updates are 

made as necessary to both capital expenditure and operational budgets in order to adapt to changes in 

risk factors, proposed expenditure programs and market conditions.

LITTLE GREEN PHARMA Annual Report 2022About Little Green Pharma

Little Green Pharma was founded in 2016 with a simple dream –  

to make affordable, quality-manufactured cannabis medicines  

for patients in WA. 

And we wanted to be different, to distinguish ourselves from  

“Big” Pharma. Hence our name: Little Green Pharma.

In the beginning, this was only a small dream. But sometimes 

dreams need to grow.

Today, with over 35 tonnes of installed biomass capacity and  

more than 120 employees in four countries, we’re not quite so little. 

But our dream hasn’t changed: it’s just grown with us.

Today, our mission is to transform the accessibility of medicinal 

cannabis for patients and prescribers globally.

Today, each decision is underpinned by a single question –  
will this ultimately help patients and prescribers better access  
high-quality medicinal cannabis.

We’ve achieved so much over the past 6 years. We helped pioneer 

the Australian medicinal cannabis industry, and in the process 

became a leading global pure-play medicinal cannabis supplier.

We’re rightly proud of what we’ve become, and where we’re going.

But mostly, we’re proud of what we do for our patients. And as an 

investor and supporter of Little Green Pharma, we hope you feel 

proud too.
