Message from 
the CEO.

To our fellow shareholders,

Fiscal 2019 was a transformational year for the industry and for our Company. We began 

the year with the landmark passing of the Cannabis Act, legislation that set the stage for the 

federally regulated cannabis industry in Canada and created a standard for cannabis policies 

and regulatory frameworks globally. 

The legalization and subsequent creation of a new industry came with expected challenges. 

Anticipating discerning consumers, supply challenges and price compression for mid to low-

end products, we took a differentiated approach from our peers. We measured our success 

beyond yield and capacity; the pursuit of quality for a long-term competitive advantage drove 

our business strategy. We overcame foreseen industry challenges with our first brand, 7ACRES 

by focusing on the essential skill of premium cultivation at scale.

7ACRES’ in demand products secure strong pricing with Canadian provinces and maintain 

premium margins. The ability to cultivate cannabis to a desired specification of quality is 

a foundational skill that establishes a long-term competitive advantage with wide-ranging 

impacts. We end fiscal 2019 as one of the top regulated branded revenue generators in the 

Canadian cannabis industry. We generated earnings with brands that are uniquely equipped 

and competitively positioned to operate in any regulated cannabis environment.

AND DIRECTOR

drove our business strategy.”

Brands, Operations and Corporate Services.

With our initial approach, we built a distinguished premium brand, a scaled cultivation facility and 

developed unique regulated-industry expertise. These core strengths and assets make up Supreme 

Cannabis’ strategic functions; we go to market with authentic brands, focused regulated operations at 

scale and essential corporate services with the goal of growing regulated branded revenue. 

Authentic brands are created and built with extensive industry research and consumer insights. We view 

marketing and communications as tools to enhance awareness, but first and foremost, we let our product 

quality speak for our brands. Our uncompromising products are what create authentic brands that 

consumers trust. We have established a diversified portfolio of premium brands with exceptional products 

that cater to varying desired consumer experiences.

Focused operations at scale create the exceptional products that drive our brands. This year, we scaled 

a highly sophisticated cultivation facility and expanded our operations to include licensed extraction and 

R&D infrastructure. We made careful capital investments in operating assets to diversify our business and 

ensure strong long-term returns.

Industry leading corporate services support the revenue drivers of our business. Our sales, marketing, 

commercialization, finance, legal and regulatory teams serve our global brands and operations from 

Supreme Cannabis’ headquarters in Toronto, Ontario. As Supreme Cannabis’ portfolio expands, we 

continue to grow a diverse and experienced pool of human capital that offers unparalleled value to our 

brands and businesses. 

Brands Inspired by Consumer Experiences.

We aim to create meaningful brands that stand for something in the eyes of consumers. We achieve this 

by identifying distinct consumer groups, determining their needs and creating products that address those 

existing human behaviours and preferences. As Canadian and global cannabis markets develop, more 

distinct consumer groups are emerging. We are building a diverse portfolio of brands that cater to these 

consumers’ unique experiences. 

7ACRES core ethos of “Respect the Plant” guides both those who cultivate the flower and those who enjoy 

it. 7ACRES caters to cannabis flower consumers, delivering products with strong sensory characteristics, 

robust terpene profiles and desirable flower consumption experiences. 7ACRES has launched five flower 

products into eight provinces across Canada. The brand continues to grow its line-up of premium strains, 

most recently launching its first sativa cultivar, Jack Haze. 

6

Blissco is a Canadian license holder and extractor selling premium wellness products. Blissco was 

identified as a high-potential wellness brand producing quality wellness products and operating 

a facility with existing extraction capabilities. In the fourth quarter, we announced the definitive 

agreement to acquire Blissco, which closed in July, 2019. Blissco accelerates our growth into the 

premium wellness and global CBD industry with an authentic brand focused on whole plant wellness 

and a commitment to sustainability.

Truverra’s global medical brand and experienced pharmaceutical team caught our attention during 

fiscal 2019. In July, we announced the acquisition of Truverra, a privately held cannabis company 

serving the Canadian and international cannabis markets through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, 

Canadian Clinical Cannabinoids and Truverra Europe. Subsequent to fiscal year end, we closed the 

acquisition of Truverra, creating a house of brands capable of serving recreational, wellness and 

medical consumers.

World-class partnerships. In fiscal 2019, we complimented our brand-building efforts with select 

strategic partnerships, aligning our Company with well-known and top-tier names like Khalifa Kush 

Enterprises Canada and PAX Labs. By year end, we launched our first product under the KKE brand, 

KKE Oil. We intend to create other ultra premium products under this brand, including pre-rolls, 

derivative products and flower to provide consumers with the #KKExperience. 

We drew additional brand strength from our partnership with PAX, announcing our agreement to 

supply 7ACRES-branded vaporizer oil for PAX Era pods. As one of PAX’s foundational partners, we are 

well positioned to quickly capitalize on the market for new cannabis vaporizer products. Partnerships 

with companies like PAX allow us to strategically enter new product categories for new consumer 

groups alongside an established and trusted brand while focusing on the quality cannabis inputs. We 

will continue to work with like-minded partners to drive synergies and regulated branded revenue. 

Foundational Strength in Regulated Operations.

Whether we are creating novel strains, premium flower or new product forms, sophisticated operations 

drive the success of each of our brands and partnerships. 

Regulated cultivation at scale. 7ACRES’ hybrid indoor greenhouse in Kincardine, Ontario is one of the 

only cultivation facilities in Canada growing premium cannabis at scale. By fiscal year end, the facility 

boasted 230,000 square feet of licensed growing space, this represents an annual production capacity 

of approximately 33,000kg. 

Extraction for wellness products. Blissco’s production facility in Langley, British Columbia houses a 

state-of-the-art extraction lab that will include both ethanol and CO2 extraction. This operating asset 

expands our infrastructure beyond cultivation, with capability to address much of our businesses’ 

extraction needs in-house.

Message from the CEO

Extraction and development of cannabis concentrate products. Truverra’s 5,000 square-foot Health 

Canada licensed facility in Scarborough, Ontario is being re-purposed to produce high-quality 

cannabis extracts, including concentrates and vaping liquids for “cannabis 2.0”. We believe the 

Scarborough facility will begin to produce products in early calendar year 2020. 

Genetics and cultivation R&D. To ensure 7ACRES’ facility maintained its focus on premium cultivation 

at scale, we spun-out 7ACRES’ genetics business, creating Cambium Plant Sciences. Drawing on the 

expertise from 7ACRES’ existing genetics practice and advanced cultivation practices, Cambium 

will develop proprietary cannabis genetics and cultivation IP for recreational, medical and wellness 

products.

With the goal of developing focused infrastructure and expertise, Supreme Cannabis is investing 

approximately $14 million to retrofit and equip an existing 34,000 square foot facility in close 

proximity to 7ACRES. The valuable intellectual property Cambium creates will ensure the production 

of differentiated and competitive cannabis products for the long-term and possibly future blockbuster 

strains. 

Prudent Capital Allocation and Strong Financial Performance. 

The Company’s financial results provide an initial indication of the positive consumer response to our 

products. In fiscal 2019, Supreme Cannabis generated total revenue of $41.8 million, growing revenue 

by 370% year-over-year. From a revenue run rate perspective, Supreme Cannabis was among the top 

6 performing Canadian licensed producers in 2019. 

Through prudent capital allocation, we further differentiated ourselves from industry players, ending 

the year with an Adjusted EBITDA positive quarter, reporting $3.2 million for the fourth quarter. As we 

grow our business beyond 7ACRES, we maintain our thoughtful and focused approach, acquiring and 

investing in brands and assets that provide a differentiated long-term advantage. 

Positioned for International Growth. 

We take a prudent approach to pursuing international opportunities, minimizing risk while positioning 

the Company for continued global growth. Through key investments and globally positioned brands, 

we are entering new markets and establishing a strategic footprint. 

Supreme Cannabis’ early investment in Medigrow, a Lesotho-based cannabis producer, provided 

access to an advanced cultivation and extraction operation in a federally legal low-cost international 

jurisdiction. In fiscal 2019, Medigrow received a positive Certificate of Analysis for its oils; with this 

validation of the product quality, we expect to export Medigrow product to various international 

jurisdictions in the near-term to drive the growth of our international regulated brands.

In the fourth quarter, we launched Supreme Heights, an investment platform based in London, UK. 

Supreme Cannabis will support Supreme Heights as it pursues investment opportunities in the EU’s 

high-growth CBD health and wellness space. As Supreme Heights makes headway in this promising 

market, we establish an early mover advantage, gain broad experience across jurisdictions and 

secure early equity positions in CBD and wellness brands. 

8

Further to standalone investment opportunities, we intend to address promising international 

markets with Supreme Cannabis’ brands. Truverra Europe addresses consumers’ growing demand 

for CBD products with proven efficacy. Truverra currently delivers scientifically proven products 

to the UK and Netherlands and will create evidence based medical cannabis products for global 

markets. Truverra’s experienced senior management team will drive this strategy forward, applying 

their global pharmaceutical and regulated industry experience. 

Building on a Strong Foundation. 

We enter fiscal 2020 fully funded to execute on all planned initiatives and positioned to build on 

our strong foundation. Through our existing brands, partnerships, operations and international 

businesses we expect to generate revenue between $150 million and $180 million in fiscal 2020. 

We continue to prioritize sustainable and profitable operations and expect to be Adjusted EBITDA 

positive on aggregate in the upcoming year. 

Our team believes in the positive impact cannabis can make globally. This industry is in its first 

inning and we are confident in our consumer experience driven approach, which has established us 

as a leading player, driving global revenue growth through our regulated cannabis brands. 

Our brands, operations and services are driven by incredible people who share a unifying passion 

for the cannabis plant. Our passionate team prioritizes superior products, best-in-class processes, 

differentiated brands and decision making that delivers long-term value. Our people possess 

“FIRE”, which is more than the TSX ticker symbol we trade under, it’s the passionate culture which 

fuels Supreme Cannabis for sustainable growth.

I would like to thank our shareholders for supporting our differentiated vision and approach. 

Whether it be the launch of new products, acquisition of new businesses or expansion of 

international operations, we continue to see the long-term value of our foundational investments in 

high-end cannabis cultivation.

Together, we continue to simply grow better and bigger. 

Thank you,

Canadian Cannabis
Landscape.

“Over the past decade, Canada has been a leader in re-thinking cannabis regulation to 

create a better legislative framework that reduces risks and enables positive outcomes for 

all stakeholders. After 95 years of prohibition, the Cannabis Act came into effect on October 

17, 2018, federally legalizing Cannabis in Canada.  This should be remembered as a proud 

moment for all Canadians. We showed leadership on the international stage as the first G7 

country to take a progressive, fact-based approach to cannabis legislation. 

The Cannabis Act gave us the opportunity to launch 7ACRES as Canada’s leading High-

End™ brand for cannabis enthusiasts.  The cannabis that consumers were familiar with prior 

to legalization possessed desirable sensory characteristics, this existing product created 

a high expectation for legal cannabis. To meet and exceed expectations, we learned 

from the techniques of our predecessors. We carefully selected our plants, grew them 

thoughtfully and completed a comprehensive slow plant dry and cure, and we did this on 

a massive scale. This process created flower with an aroma, appearance and flavour that 

appealed to the most discerning of consumers. By producing a product our customers love, 

we experienced consistent demand and achieved premium pricing that we believe will be 

sustainable over time.   

Our focus on high-end flower positions us for success beyond the first wave of cannabis 

legalization. As we prepare to launch Cannabis 2.0 products, we are equipped with the high-

quality flower inputs necessary to create best-in-class oil, concentrates and other derivative 

products. By exceeding consumer expectations across all of our offerings, we do more than 

drive better pricing; we improve our industry and show respect for our consumers”.

Message from 
the Chairman.

Organizing the business for strategic vision, execution and sustainable growth.

Fiscal 2019 was a year of tremendous growth for Supreme Cannabis. We ended the 

year reporting an Adjusted EBITDA positive fourth quarter and affirming our path 

towards sustainable profitability, distinguishing ourselves as one of the few Canadian 

cannabis companies delivering growth without sacrificing profitability.  

To prepare for this growth, we began the first quarter of fiscal 2019 with the repositioning of 

the company’s management team. We made Navdeep Dhaliwal the Company’s Chief Executive 

Officer to optimize Supreme Cannabis’ growth trajectory and expand the Company from a 

single asset into a diversified portfolio of brands built on strong regulated operations. At the 

same time, Supreme Cannabis’ founder, John Fowler, transitioned into a new role that best 

leverages his status as one of Canada’s foremost authorities on the cannabis plant, consumers 

and products. As our Chief Advocacy Officer and Managing Director of Flower & Concentrates, 

Mr. Fowler will chart Supreme’s course forward into “Legalization 2.0” while continuing to be the 

cannabis industry’s leading voice for adopting a more consumer-oriented approach to building 

brands and businesses.

As the Company continued to grow over the course of fiscal 2019, the board of directors 

recognized additional opportunities to ensure we had a strong management team in place to 

deliver value for shareholders. In April, Nikhil Handa was appointed to Chief Financial Officer 

to further drive inorganic international and domestic growth. Through his senior roles at Well.

ca, Restaurant Brands International and RBC Capital Markets, Mr. Handa brought a wealth of 

experience in the wellness space and transaction expertise to the senior leadership team.

“In February 2019, Supreme Cannabis reached a significant 

company milestone as it commenced trading on the Toronto 

Stock Exchange.” 

Message from the Chairman

“the Board believes it has formed a team with the critical 

experience needed in retail, supply chain management, 

regulated industry and governance to help guide Supreme 

Cannabis forward.”

Strong Corporate Governance. 

In February 2019, Supreme Cannabis reached a significant company milestone as it 
commenced trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange. With our graduation to the TSX, we 
saw an opportunity to further enhance our board and practices.

During the fiscal year and subsequent to quarter end, we accepted the resignation of two 
non-independent directors and named Kenneth R. McKinnon, Q.C independent director. 
Mr. McKinnon’s director experience includes his current position on Touchstone Exploration 
Inc.’s board of directors and his previous positions on the boards of Petrominerales Ltd. 
and Lightstream Resources Ltd. As an experienced corporate executive and director, Mr. 
McKinnon brought substantial financial oversight and business advisory experience to the 
Company’s Board. 

With Mr. McKinnon’s addition, the Board believes it has formed a team with the critical 
experience needed in retail, supply chain management, regulated industry and 
governance to help guide Supreme Cannabis forward. In the coming year, we will look 
to further bolster the board with the addition of another independent director. As we 
continue to build and enhance our board, we look for professionals who will bring diverse 
perspectives and expertise to our group.  

Your board of directors takes its mandate to exercise accountability to shareholders 
seriously. We will be working through the Company’s fiscal 2020 to further implement the 
best practises in corporate governance and ensure continued sustainable and responsible 
growth.  

Thank you for your continued support, trust and confidence. 

Respectfully,

In  June  2019,  Supreme  Cannabis  announced  that  it  had  entered  into  an  exclusive 
partnership to become a foundational brand partner and supplier of PAX’s vaporizer 
pods filled with cannabis concentrates for the Canadian market. 

Through this partnership, 7ACRES becomes one of only four Licence Holders chosen 
as initial partners to create cannabis products that include vaporizer pods for the PAX 
Era filled with cannabis concentrates. PAX is a market leader with over 1.5 million 
vaporizing devices sold worldwide and has an established reputation as one of the 
best-selling battery-and-pod system in the United States. Supreme Cannabis’ 
partnership with PAX will accelerate the growth of the Company’s concentrate pod 
product category, where Supreme Cannabis’ proven brand-building ability and high-
quality dried cannabis at scale offer a distinct market advantage. 

In December 2018, Supreme Cannabis entered into an international partnership with 
KKE to develop and launch a lineup of premium cannabis products, such as pre-rolls, 
concentrate pods, vaporizers, and a dried flower line based on KKE’s flagship “Khalifa 
Kush” strain.

of a cannabis product called KKE Oil. KKE Oil is a premium, adult-use focused cannabis 
oil.    KKE  Oil  was  developed  for  the  consumer  who  wants  the  convenience,  high  THC 
potency and precise dosing offered by a cannabis oil. KKE Oils are one of the first ever 
adult-use focused cannabis oil products available to consumers in Canada.

million of net revenue representing a 90% and 443% increase from the three months

record  revenue  achieved  during  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  2019  is  due  to 
increased production at the 7ACRES Site, the launch of KKE products, strong demand 
for the Company’s premium dry cannabis flower, increased sales volumes and robust 
wholesale and adult-use pricing.

Bought deal offering. 

On October 19, 2018, the Company closed a bought deal offering for gross proceeds 
of $100 million, including the exercise, in full, of the underwriters’ over-allotment option 

40 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(the  “Offering”),  comprised  of  6.0%  senior  unsecured  convertible  debentures  (the 
“Debentures”)  of  the  Company  at  the  issue  price  of  $1,000  per  Debenture,  with  a 
syndicate  of  underwriters,  co-led  by  GMP  Securities  L.P.  and  BMO  Capital  Markets, 
including  Cormark  Securities  Inc.,  Eight  Capital,  Beacon  Securities  Limited  and  P.I. 
Financial Corp. 

The Debentures have a maturity date that is 36 months from the closing date of the 
Offering (the “Maturity Date”) and bear interest from the date of closing at 6.0% per 
annum,  payable  semi-annually  on  June  30  and  December  31  of  each  year.  The 
Debentures  are  convertible,  at  the  option  of  the  holder,  into  common  shares  at  any 
time prior to the close of business on the last business day immediately preceding the 
Maturity  Date  at  a  conversion  price  of  $2.45  per  common  share  (the  “Conversion 
Price”), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The Company may force the 
conversion  of  the  principal  amount  of  the  then  outstanding  Debentures  at  the 
Conversion  Price  on  not  less  than  30  days’  notice  should  the  daily  volume  weighted 
average  trading  price  of  the  common  shares  be  greater  than  $3.43  for  any  10 
consecutive trading days. The Debentures are listed for trading on the TSX under the 
symbol “FIRE.DB”. 

Settlement of debt. 

On  November  6,  2018,  Supreme  completed  the  conversion  of  the  then  outstanding 
aggregate principal amount of $4.84 million and accrued interest outstanding of 8% 
unsecured convertible debentures due November 2019 to 3,261,622 common shares of 
the Company. 

Subsequent Events. 

Supreme  Cannabis  closes  the  acquisition  of  premium  wellness  brand  and 
extraction company BlissCo. 

On July 11, 2019, Supreme Cannabis acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares 
of BlissCo in exchange for 23,434,151 Supreme Cannabis common shares. 

With  the  closing  of  the  BlissCo  acquisition,  Supreme  Cannabis  will  gain  advanced 
extraction infrastructure and expertise. BlissCo’s production facility in Langley, British

cannabis sales and oil production licenses in 2018. The BlissCo facility houses a state-
of-the-art cannabis oil extraction lab with a CO2 extractor capable of producing full 
spectrum  oil.  Planned  additions  to  the  BlissCo  facility  include  the  installation  of  an 
ethanol extractor that will serve the increasing demand for full spectrum CBD and THC 
derivative products. 

Supreme Cannabis closes the acquisition of Truverra Inc. 

41 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
On  August  13,  2019,  Supreme  Cannabis  acquired  all  of  the  issued  and  outstanding 
shares  of  privately  held  Truverra  Inc  in  exchange  for  approximately  14,700,000 
Supreme Cannabis common shares.  

Located in Toronto, Truverra is a private cannabis company, serving the Canadian and 
international  cannabis  markets  through  its  wholly  owned  subsidiaries,  CCC  and

Results of Operations for the three and twelve months ended 
June 30, 2019 and 2018. 

During the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2019, the Company reported a net 
comprehensive  loss  of  $0.3  million  (June  30,  2018:  net  comprehensive  gain  of  $0.2 
million) and $14.4 million (June 30, 2018: $7.3 million), respectively.  

42 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company recorded a net comprehensive loss for the three months ended June 30, 
2019 as compared to the prior period net comprehensive income, primarily as a result 
of  increases  in  revenue  and  net  impact  of  fair  value  changes  related  to  biological 
assets offset by an increase in production costs, operating expenses, increase in other 
expenses  and  impact  of  deferred  tax  expense.  The  increase  in  revenue  and  related 
production costs and operating expenses are due to the expansion of the 7ACRES Site, 
increased employee headcount and the launch of additional products. Other expenses 
increased  due  to  higher  finance  expense  as  a  result  of  additional  borrowing  costs 
related to convertible debentures issued in October 2018 and higher unrealized losses 
on investments.  

The net comprehensive loss for the twelve months ended June 30, 2019 increased as 
compared  to  the  prior  period,  primarily  as  a  result  of  increases  in  production  costs, 
operating expenses, other expenses and impact of deferred tax expense, offset by an 
increase in revenues and net impact from gains on fair value of biological assets. The 
increase in revenue and related production costs and operating expenses are due to 
the expansion of the expansion of 7ACRES Site, increased employee headcount and the 
launch of additional products. Other expenses increased due to higher finance expense 
as  a  result  of  additional  borrowing  costs  related  to  convertible  debentures  issued  in 
October 2018, loss on disposal of assets as a result of repurposing of various areas at 
the 7ACRES Site and unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in BlissCo.

During  the  three  and  twelve  months  ended  June  30,  2019,  the  Company  generated 
Adjusted EBIDTA of $3.2 million (June 30, 2018: -$1.6 million) and -$4.5M (June 30, 2018; 
-$7.0 million), respectively. See “Non-GAAP Measures”. 

The positive adjusted EBITDA achieved during the three months ended June 30, 2019 is 
a result of increased revenue of 443% as compared to the three months ended June 
30,  2018,  the  addition  of  new  products  and  the  effective  containment  of  production 
costs and operating expenses.  

Revenue. 

During the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2019, the Company generated net 
revenues of $19.0 million (June 30, 2018: $3.5 million) and $41.8 million (June 30, 2018: 
$8.9  million),  respectively.  The  increase  in  revenue  for  the  three  and  twelve  months 
ended June 30, 2019 of 443% and 370%, respectively, as compared to the prior year, is 
due to the launch of the Canadian adult-use market, the launch of new products, the 
increased capacity of the 7ACRES’ Site offset by a decrease in the average price of 
cannabis flower by 1% and an increase of 15% as compared to the three and twelve 
months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.    

Production costs.  

Production  costs  consist  of  direct  and  overhead  costs  attributable  to  cannabis 
production  activities  during  the  biological  transformation  process  up  to  the  point  of 
harvest incurred in the period, as well as direct and overhead costs attributable to post-

44 

 
 
 
 
 
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
harvest cannabis processing activities that have been initially capitalized to inventory 
and subsequently expensed to production costs as cannabis inventory is sold. 

Production  costs  related  to  cannabis  production  activities  during  the  biological 
transformation  process  up  to  the  point  of  harvest  consist  of  direct  and  overhead 
allocation  for  wages  and  benefits,  facilities,  materials,  supplies  and  7ACRES  Site 
amortization  expense  for  production,  sanitation,  record  keeping,  quality  assurance, 
security  and  7ACRES  Site  maintenance  activities.  These  costs  are  expensed  to 
production costs in the period they are incurred.  

Production costs related to cannabis processing activities after harvest consist of direct 
and  overhead  allocation  for  wages  and  benefits,  facilities,  materials,  supplies  and 
amortization  expense  for  drying,  trimming,  packaging,  sanitation,  record  keeping, 
quality  assurance,  security  and  7ACRES  Site  maintenance  activities.  These  costs  are 
initially capitalized to inventory in the period incurred and subsequently expensed to 
production costs as cannabis is sold.  

Production  costs  for  the  three  and  twelve  months  ended  June  30,  2019  and  2018 
includes the following direct and overhead costs:

Production  costs  related  to  cannabis  production  activities  during  the  biological 
transformation process increased by $4.0 million and $8.6 million during the three and 
twelve months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to prior year. This is due 
to  a  substantial  increase  in  the  footprint  and  output  of  the  7ACRES  Site  and 
consequently  an  increase  in  personnel,  facility,  materials,  supplies  and  amortization 
expenses that have been incurred. As a percentage of net revenue for the three and 

45 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
    
 
 
twelve  months  ended  June  30,  2019,  as  compared  to  prior  year,  production  costs 
related to cannabis production activities decreased from 51% to 30% and 64% to 34%, 
respectively, as a result of the realization of efficiencies as output of the 7ACRES Site 
increases while investments in training and best practices are realized.   

Production  costs  related  to  post-harvest  cannabis  processing  activities  increased  by 
$1.4 million and $5.1 million during the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2019, 
respectively,  as  compared  to  prior  year.  This  is  due  to  a  substantial  increase  in  the 
footprint  and  output  of  the  7ACRES  Site  and  consequently  an  increase  in  personnel, 
facility, materials, supplies and amortization expenses that have been incurred. As a 
percentage of net revenue for the twelve months ended June 30, 2019, as compared 
to prior year, production costs related to cannabis processing activities increased from 
11%  to  15%,  respectively,  due  to  additional  processing  capabilities  added  to  the 
7ACRES  Site  and  packaging  costs  for  the  adult-use  market.  During  the  three  months 
ended  June  30,  2019,  as  compared  to  prior  year,  as  a  percentage  of  net  revenue, 
production costs related to cannabis processing activities decreased from 18% to 10% 
as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, as a result of the realization of 
efficiencies through automation of post harvest activities.  

As  discussed  below  in  the  Realized  fair  value  changes  on  inventory  sold  or  impaired 
section  below,  production  costs  related  to  cannabis  processing  activities  were 
expensed to the statement of profit and loss as the costs were incurred prior to June 
30,  2017.  This  is  due  to  the  previous  accounting  policy  of  expensing  inventory 
processing costs as the Company did not have a license to sell cannabis. As a result, 
production costs would have been higher by approximately $0.3 million for the twelve 
months ended June 30, 2018 if the current policy to capitalize post-harvest processing 
cost  would  have  been  in  place.  A  portion  of  the  cannabis  sold  during  the  three  and 
twelve  months  ended  June  30,  2018  was  harvested  and  processed  prior  to  June  28, 
2017, the date the Company, through 7ACRES, was granted permission to sell.  

IFRS  allows  for  the  use  of  alternative  methods  when  recording  actual  costs  incurred 
during the biological transformation process. As described above, the Company has 
elected to expense cost incurred during the biological transformation process in the 
period.  Alternatively,  IFRS  allows  for  actual  costs  incurred  during  the  biological 
transformation process to be capitalized when incurred and expensed when the related 
inventory is sold. For greater comparability the Company has presented both methods. 
The  alternatives  presented  below  are  both IFRS  compliant  and  use  the  retrospective 
approach, except as described above:

Changes in fair value of biological assets. 

In accordance with IFRS, the Company is required to record its biological assets at fair 
value  less  cost  to  sell.  At  each  reporting  period,  each  harvest  is  adjusted  to  full  fair 
value less costs to complete and sell based on the actual yield in grams for completed 
harvests  and  estimated  yield  for  harvests  in  progress.  Costs  incurred  during  the 
biological transformation process are expensed in the period the costs are incurred. 
Cannabis which has been harvested is transferred to inventory at the full fair value less 
costs to complete and sell.  

Additional costs incurred after harvest related to processing and other finishing costs 
are  capitalized  to  inventory  until  such  time  that  the  cannabis  is  ready  for  sale  and 
recorded as finished inventory. 

During the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized a 
gain of $22.7 million (June 30, 2018: $6.2 million) and $45.7 million (June 30, 2018: $12.5 
million), respectively, related to the fair value adjustments of biological assets.  

The biological assets as at June 30, 2019, of $8.8 million (June 30, 2018: $3.3 million) 
are comprised of 23,079 (June 30, 2018: 8,364) cannabis plants that are estimated to 
be  69%  (June  30,  2018:  65%)  complete  to  harvest.  Once  harvested,  the  produced 
cannabis is transferred to inventory. During the  twelve months ended June 30, 2019, 
the  Company  transferred  approximately  10,039  kilograms  (June  30,  2018:  2,374 
kilograms) of cannabis to inventory.  

Assumption  related  to  biological  assets  include  average  selling  price  and  yield  per 
plant. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 the Company reduced its estimate

portion  that  is  not  contractually  obligated.  Estimated  selling  prices  for  premium 
cannabis trim have decreased by $0.42 and 15% as compared to the preceding quarter 
to account for current market conditions. The yield estimates have been increased by 
97%  and  13%  per  plant  for  premium  trim  and  premium  flower,  respectively,  as 
compared to the preceding quarter to account for actual yields improvements in new 
flowering  rooms  approved  by  Health  Canada  during  the  year.  Yield  estimates  are 
revised on quarterly basis as the existing and new cultivation areas are calibrated for 
optimal environmental controls and growing conditions.  

Realized fair value changes on inventory sold or impaired.  

Realized fair value changes on inventory sold or impaired is the fair value less cost to 
sell recognized during the biological transformation process related to cannabis sold 
during the period and impairment charges related to cannabis inventory.   

During  the  three  and  twelve  months  ended  June  30,  2019,  the  Company  recognized 
realized fair value changes on inventory sold or impaired of $11.8 million (June 30, 2018: 
$3.0 million) and $30.3 million (June 30, 2018: $5.7 million), respectively as a result of 
cannabis sold during the period and impairment charges.  

During  the  twelve  months  ended  June  30,  2018,  a  portion  of  cannabis  sold  was  not 
recognized  as  inventory  when  harvested  as  a  result  of  the  Company’s  previous 
accounting  policy  to  expense  costs  related  to  cannabis  inventory  and  not  recognize 
the related biological assets as the Company did not have permission to sell cannabis. 
Under  the  current  policy,  which  was  implemented  by  the  Company  after  obtaining 
permission to sell cannabis, the Company would have recognized approximately $2.16 
million of additional realized fair value changes on inventory sold or impaired related 
to revenue generated during the twelve months ended June 30, 2018. 

During the twelve months ended June 30, 2019, net effect of changes in fair value of 
biological assets and inventory include: $15.4 million of net unrealized changes in fair 
value  due  to  biological  transformation  charges  that  have  been  added  to  biological 
assets and inventory, and $30.3 million of realized fair value increments on inventory 
sold or impaired.  

Profits before operating expenses and other charges. 

During  the  three  and  twelve  months  ended  June  30,  2019  the  Company  generated 
profits before operating expenses and other charges of $22.1 million (June 30, 2018: 
$4.3 million) and $36.9 million (June 30, 2018: $8.9 million), respectively. The increase 
in profits before operating expenses and other charges for the three and twelve months 
ended June 30, 2019 as compared to prior year is a result of the Company generating 
higher net revenues of $19.0 million (June 30, 2018: $3.5 million) and $41.8 million (June 
30, 2018: $8.9 million), respectively. Additionally, during the three and twelve months 
ended June 30, 2019 the Company recognized a net positive impact of $10.9 million 
(June 30, 2018: $3.2 million) and net positive impact of $15.4 million (June 30, 2018: 

48 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
$6.7 million), respectively, due to non-cash changes in fair value of biological assets, 
offset by production costs of $7.8 million (June 30, 2018: $2.4 million) and $20.4 million 
(June 30, 2018: $6.7 million), respectively.    

Operating expenses. 

During the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2019, total operating expenses 
increased to $11.6 million (June 30, 2018: $5.1 million) and $38.7 million (June 30, 
2018: $15.9 million), respectively. The operating expenses contributing to the overall 
movement for the period are due to the following: 

•  For  the  three  and  twelve  months  ended  June  30,  2019,  the  Company’s  total 
wages  and  benefits  expense  increased  to  $3.4  million  (June  30,  2018:  $1.4 
million)  and  $13.1  million  (June  30,  2018:  $4.7  million),  respectively.  The  total 
increase in wages and benefits expense for the three and twelve months ended 
June 30, 2019, are due primarily to the increased staffing requirements at the 
7ACRES Site as the Company experiences an increase in business activity and 
expansion  of  operations,  additions  to  the  management  team  and  increase  in 
variable management compensation.   

•  For the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2019, the Company’s total rent 
and facilities expense increased to $0.6 million (June 30, 2018: $0.5 million) and 
increased to $2.2 million (June 30, 2018: $1.5 million), respectively. The increase 
in rent and facilities expense for the twelve months ended June 30, 2019, is due 
to the increase in the number of employees requiring more office space and the 
expansion of the 7ACRES Site requiring more utilities, security and other related 
occupancy costs.  

•  For  the  three  and  twelve  months  ended  June  30,  2019,  the  Company’s  total 
professional fees expense increased to $1.3 million (June 30, 2018: $0.2 million) 
and  $3.6  million  (June  30,  2018:  $1.0  million)  respectively.  Professional  fees 
expense  increased  for  the  three  and  twelve  months  ended  June  30,  2019  as 
compared  to  prior  period  due  to  higher  legal,  regulatory  fees,  and  enterprise 
resource  planning  integration  costs,  during  the  current  year  as  a  result  of  the 
implementation  of  a  leading  ERP  system,  the  up  list  to  the  TSX  and  increased 
partnerships and other transactions .  

•  For the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2019, the Company’s total sales, 
marketing and business development expense increased to $2.3 million (June 30, 
2018: $0.8 million) and $6.2 million (June 30, 2018: $1.6 million), respectively. The 
sales,  marketing  and  business  development  expense  increased  due  to  sales, 
marketing and business development related travel expenses, additional brand 
development  expenses,  the  launch  of  the  7ACRES  and  KKE  brands  for  the 
legalization  of  adult-use  cannabis  in  Canada  and  the  build  out  of  a  coast  to 
coast  internal  sales  force  to  position  the  Company’s  brands  as  the  leading 
primum offerings in the adult-use market. 

49 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
•  For  the  three  and  twelve  months  ended  June  30,  2019,  the  Company’s  total 
general  and  administrative  expense  increased  to  $1.4  million  (June  30,  2018: 
$0.4  million)  and  $3.3  million  (June  30,  2018:  $1.1  million),  respectively.  The 
general and administrative expense increased due to the additional information 
technology,  training  and  other  general  expenses  as  a  result  of  the  increased 
number of employees and the expansion of the 7ACRES Site. 

•  For  the  three  and  twelve  months  ended  June  30,  2019,  the  Company’s  share-
based payments expense amounted to $1.2 million (June 30, 2018: $1.6 million) 
and  $6.9  million  (June  30,  2018:  $5.5  million),  respectively.  Share  based 
payments were made in correspondence with the Employee Stock Option Plan 
(“ESOP”) and represent incentives to employees and directors for the positive 
achievements  over  the  past  fiscal  year  and  the  strengthening  of  the 
management team. The ESOP grants are used by management to obtain and 
retain  key  executives,  employees  and  directors.  The  increase  in  share-based 
payment  expense  for  this  period  is  due  to  an  increase  in  the  total  value  of 
incentive options vested during the period. 

Construction of the 7ACRES Site.  

For the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2019, the Company’s total capitalized 
expenditure related to the 7ACRES Site increased by $14.9 million (June 30, 2018: $27.4 
million) and $76.9 million (June 30, 2018: $67.4 million), respectively. In addition, for the 
three  and  twelve  months  ended  June  30,  2019,  the  Company  capitalized  borrowing 
costs of $1.3 million (June 30, 2018: $1.8 million) and $5.4 million (June 30, 2018: $5.6 
million), respectively, directly attributable to the construction of the 7ACRES Site. The 
increase in aggregate capitalized expenditure related to the 7ACRES Site is a result of 
accelerated  construction  efforts  aimed  at  the  rapid  expansion  of  the  7ACRES  Site 
including  the  newly  licenced  growing  rooms,  the  full  completion  of  the  7ACRES  Site, 
including support areas and offices is expected during the calendar year 2019. 

As construction on the 7ACRES Site nears completion, Supreme Cannabis has chosen 
to  build  additional  support  infrastructure  on  the  six-acre  property  adjacent  to  the 
7ACRES Site, previously referred to as Lot 16. 7ACRES’ advanced cultivation practices 
have consistently produced premium quality flower well above the industry standard. 
With  stable  premium  pricing  for  7ACRES’  products  and  strong  consumer  validation, 
Supreme  Cannabis  intends  to  use  the  additional  acreage  to  further  enhance  this 
successful  operating  asset.  The  Company  expects  the  7ACRES  Site,  including  all 
administrative  infrastructure,  to  be  complete  by  the  end  of  calendar  year  2019  and 
construction on the adjacent property to begin upon completion.

During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company did not generate revenues as its 
license to sell cannabis was granted on June 28, 2017. During the year ended June 30, 
2018,  the  Company  generated  its  first  revenue  from  the  cultivation  and  sale  of 
cannabis. The decrease in net comprehensive loss from the year ended June 30, 2017 
to June 30, 2018 is mainly due to the Company generating revenues, increase in fair 
value gains on biological assets, increase in unrealized gains on investments, decrease 
in operating expenses offset by increase in production costs, the recognition of losses 
due to disposal of assets, higher finance costs and deferred tax. The increase in net 
comprehensive loss for the year ended June 30, 2019 as compared to June 30, 2018 is 
a result of an increase in revenues, increase in the net impact of fair value adjustment 
on  biological  assets  offset  by  higher  productions  costs,  operating  expenses,  finance 
expenses, loss on disposal of assets, loss on investments and deferred tax expense.   

Total assets increased each year ended June 30, 2017, 2018 and 2019. The increase in 
net  assets  is  mainly  due  to  the  increase  in  investments  made  to  property,  plant  and 
equipment related to the 7ACRES Site, increase in inventory and biological assets, and 
other assets.   

The increase in liabilities each year ended June 30, 2017, 2018 and 2019 is due to the 
issuance of convertible debentures, increase of accounts payable and accruals, KKE 
royalty payments and deferred taxes.  Since June 30, 2017, the Company settled the 
convertible debentures issued in December 2016 and November 2017. 

The weighted average number of common shares, basic and diluted, outstanding for 
the twelve months ended June 30, 2019 is 281,418,793 (June 30, 2018: 223,827,154).

The  quarterly  variation  in  operating  results  has  been  discussed  above  in  Results  of 
Operations  for  the  three  and  twelve  months  ended  June  30,  2019  and  2018.  The 
Company’s results of operations are not exposed to seasonal variations.   

Liquidity.  

As at June 30, 2019, the Company has working capital surplus of $76.9 million (June 30, 
2018: $50.6 million). 

Cash used in operating activities during the three and twelve months ended June 30, 
2019 is $0.6 million (June 30, 2018: $4.1 million) and $14.8 million (June 30, 2018: $1.3 
million),  respectively.  The  cash  outflows  from  operating  activities  mainly  relates  to 
working capital changes of $11.0 million, loss for the period of $14.5 million, offset by 
non-cash expenses and gains of $10.7 million. 

Cash  used  in  investing  activities  during  the three  and  twelve  months  ended  June  30, 
2019  is  $24.4  million  (June  30,  2018:  $27.9  million)  and  $95.3  million  (June  30,  2018: 
$85.0 million), respectively. The increase in cash used for investing activities is mainly 
related  to  investments  made  to  the  7ACRES  Site  to  increase  capacity,  develop 
proprietary designs and increase ultimate efficiency and the development of intangible 
assets.  

Cash provided from financing activities during the three and twelve months ended June 
30, 2019 is $4.9 million (June 30, 2018: $1.2 million) and $109.1 million (June 30, 2018: 
$81.9  million),  respectively.  The  cash  inflows  from  financing  activities  are  due  to 
warrant and option exercises and the issuance of convertible debentures. 

The  Company’s  contractual  obligations  for  the  next  five  fiscal  years ending  June  30, 
and thereafter are summarized as follows:

Capital Resources and Liquidity Risk. 

The  Company  constantly  monitors  and  manages  its  capital  resources  to  assess  the 
liquidity necessary to fund operations and capacity expansion. As at June 30, 2019 the 
Company had a cash balance of $54.8 million and current liabilities of $31.9 million. 
The  Company’s  current  resources  are  sufficient  to  settle  its  current  liabilities.  
Management  believes  the  current  resources  available  will  be  sufficient  for  the 
completion  of  the  7ACRES  Site  and  execute  on  the  Company’s  strategy.  All  of  the 
Company’s liabilities are due within twelve months except for the convertible debt and 
KKE royalty fees. Should additional capital requirements or the replacement of debt be 
necessary,  the  Company  expects  it  could  satisfy  these  requirements  through  capital 
raises,  debt  restructurings,  or  asset  sales.  However,  the  outcome  of  these  matters 
cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.  

Related Party Transactions.  

As at June 30, 2019, there were no material transactions with related parties except for 
wages  and  stock  option  compensation  as  described  in  the  Financial  Statements. 
Subsequent to June 30, 2019, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding 
shares  of  Truverra.  Consideration  for  the  transaction  consisted  of  the  issuance  of 
approximately  14,700,000  Common  Shares  to  shareholders  of  Truverra.  Certain 
directors and officers of the Company were shareholders of Truverra at the time of the 
Company’s acquisition of Truverra. See “Subsequent Events – Supreme Cannabis closes 
the acquisition of Truverra Inc.”. 

Regulatory Background.  

Legal Developments 

On October 17, 2018, the Cannabis Act and the Cannabis Regulations came into force, 
regulating the cultivation, processing, possession and sale of cannabis in Canada for 
both medical and adult use purposes. The Cannabis Act and the Cannabis Regulations 
replaced  the  Controlled  Drugs  and  Substances  Act  (Canada)  (the  “CDSA”)  and  the 
Access  to  Cannabis  and  Medical  Purposes  Regulations  (“ACMPR”)  as  the  governing 
laws and regulations of cannabis in respect of the production, sale and distribution of 

53 

 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                    
                  
             
                    
                  
             
                    
                  
        
                    
                  
                 
                    
                      
                 
                 
                  
        
cannabis for medical purposes. The Cannabis Act also regulates, for the first time, sale 
of cannabis for adult use purposes. 

The  Cannabis  Act  provides  a  licensing  and  permitting  scheme  for  the  production, 
sending,  delivery, 
importation,  exportation, 
transportation, sale, possession and disposal of cannabis for adult use, implemented 
by  regulations  made  under  the  Cannabis  Act.  The  Cannabis  Act  maintains  separate 
access to cannabis for medical purposes, including providing that import and export 
permits will only be issued in respect of cannabis for medical or scientific purposes or 
in respect of industrial hemp. 

testing,  packaging, 

labelling, 

The  Cannabis  Regulations,  among  other  things,  set  out  regulations  relating  to  the 
following matters: (1) Licences, Permits and Authorizations; (2) Security Clearances; (3) 
Cannabis  Tracking  System;  (4)  Cannabis  Products;  (5)  Packaging  and  Labelling;  and 
(6) Cannabis for Medical Purposes. 

Under  the  Cannabis  Act,  cannabis  is  defined  to  include:  (a)  any  part  of  a  cannabis 
plant,  including  the  phytocannabinoids  produced  by,  or  found  in,  such  a  plant, 
regardless of whether that part has been processed or not, other than: (i) a non-viable 
seed of a cannabis plant, (ii) a mature stalk, without any leaf, flower, seed or branch, 
of such a plant, (iii) fiber derived from such mature stalk and (iv) the root or any part 
of the root of such a plant; (b) any substance or mixture of substances that contains or 
has  on  it  any  part  of  such  a  plant,  and  (c)  any  substance  that  is  identical  to  any 
phytocannabinoid  produced  by,  or  found  in,  such  a  plant,  regardless  of  how  the 
substance was obtained.  

Licences, Permits and Authorizations 

The  Cannabis  Regulations  establish  the  following  six  classes  of  licences  under  the 
Cannabis Act:  

•  cultivation licences;  
•  processing licences;  
• 
licences for sale;  
•  analytical testing licences;  
• 
research licences; and  
•  cannabis drug licences.  

The  Cannabis  Regulations  also  create  subclasses  of  cultivation  licences  (standard 
cultivation,  micro-cultivation  and  nursery),  processing  licences  (standard  processing 
and micro-processing) and licences for sale (for medical purposes). Different licences 
and each subclass therein, carry differing rules and requirements that are intended to 
be proportional to the public health and safety risks posed by each licence category 
and  each  subclass.  Any  licence  issued  will  be  valid  for  no  more  than  five  years.  A 
licence, once issued, identifies the specific activities that the licencee is authorized to 

54 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
conduct. A holder of a licence is permitted to carry out those activities permitted to be 
conducted pursuant to the Cannabis Regulations that are set out in the licence.  

The  holder  of  a  processing  licence  is,  subject  to  the  Cannabis  Regulations  and  the 
licence, permitted to possess cannabis, to produce cannabis (other than obtain it by 
cultivating, propagating or harvesting it) and sell cannabis to other licence holders. A 
processing  licence  may  authorize  a  holder  thereof  to  engage  in  manufacturing 
cannabis products, extraction and formulation of cannabis, and to distribute, import 
and export cannabis and cannabis products in accordance with the Cannabis Act and 
Cannabis Regulations. 

Other licences regulated under the Cannabis Regulations are medical sale, analytical 
testing, research and cannabis drug licences. A medical sales licence allows a holder 
to sell cannabis products to registered clients authorized to use cannabis for medical 
purposes in Canada, other Licence Holders, the Minister of Health (the “Minister”) and 
certain hospital employees. An analytical testing licence allows testing of cannabis and 
cannabis products. Research licences entitle the holder to, for the purpose of research, 
possess, produce and transport cannabis between sites authorized by the licence, and 
distribute  cannabis  to  another  research  licence  holder,  an  analytical  testing  licence 
holder, a cannabis drug licence holder, a research subject or the Minister. A cannabis 
drug licence authorizes a company to manufacture and sell a drug (as defined in the 
Food and Drugs Act (the “FDA”)) that contains cannabis. A prerequisite for applying for 
a  cannabis  drug  licence,  including  authorization  to  manufacture  a  drug  containing 
cannabis,  is  that  the  company  must  already  be  a  holder  of  a  Drug  Establishment 
Licence (DEL) under Section C.01A.008 of the Food and Drug Regulations. A DEL is also 
required for manufacturing drugs that do not contain cannabis. Achieving both the DEL 
and cannabis drug licence would permit a site to engage in the following activities with 
respect  to  drugs  containing  cannabis:  possession,  production/manufacturing, 
distribution and sale. Note that each drug containing cannabis would require a Drug 
Identification Number (DIN) to be regulated for sale. 

Transitional  provisions  of  the  Cannabis  Act  provide  that  every  licence  issued  under 
Section 35 of the ACMPR that was in force immediately before the day on which the 
Cannabis Act came into force (October 17, 2018) was deemed to be a licence issued 
under the Cannabis Act, and that such licence will continue in force until it is revoked 
or expires. For example, a licence for production and sale of dried cannabis, cannabis 
resin,  cannabis  seeds,  cannabis  plants  and  cannabis  oil  under  the  ACMPR  would  be 
deemed to be licences for cultivation, processing and sale for medical purposes under 
the Cannabis Act, provided that the licence holder met certain requirements.  

Similarly, the Cannabis Act generally provides that licences pertaining to cannabis or 
its  derivatives  issued  under  the  Narcotic  Control  Regulations  that  were  in  force 
immediately before the Cannabis Act came into force be deemed to be licences issued 
under  the  corresponding  provisions  of  the  Cannabis  Act  and  any  such  licences  will 
continue  in  force  until  it  is  revoked  or  expires.  For  example,  a  dealer  licence  issued 

55 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
under the Narcotic Control Regulations authorizing cultivation of cannabis for scientific 
purposes would have become a research licence under the Cannabis Act. 

Security Clearances 

The Cannabis Regulations require that certain individuals associated with a holder of a 
licence  for  cultivating,  processing  or  sale  obtain  security  clearances.  Key  Personnel 
must hold valid security clearances. In addition, a number of Key Personnel involved in 
the  licence  holder’s  activities  related  to  cannabis  are  required  to  hold  security 
clearances, including the “responsible person” and the “head of security.” The “master 
grower”  associated  with  any  cultivation  licence,  and  the  “quality  assurance  person” 
associated  with  any  processing  licence,  must  each  also  hold  a  security  clearance. 
Alternate  individuals  tasked  as  Key  Personnel  with  these  operational  roles  must  also 
hold  security  clearances.  The  Minister  grants  security  clearances  if  the  Minister 
determines that the applicant does not pose an unacceptable risk to public health or 
public safety, including the risk of cannabis being diverted to an illicit market or activity. 

Cannabis Tracking System 

Pursuant to the Cannabis Act, the Minister has established a national cannabis tracking 
system, known as the Cannabis Tracking and Licensing System (the “CTLS”). The CTLS 
provides a single-entry-point online secure platform for filing applications for security 
clearances and licences under the Cannabis Regulations. It also permits the Minister to 
track cannabis through the supply chain to help prevent diversion of cannabis into, and 
out of, the legal market. Licence Holders are required to submit monthly reports to the 
Minister relating to inventory of their cannabis products, among other things. 

Cannabis Products 

The Cannabis Regulations permit sale to consumer of cannabis products in the dried 
cannabis, cannabis oil, fresh cannabis, cannabis plants, and cannabis seeds classes of 
cannabis. The sale of cannabis edible products, cannabis topical products (other than 
cannabis oil for such use) and cannabis extract products other than cannabis oil (such 
as hashish, wax and vaping products) are not permitted for sale. Amendments to the 
Cannabis  Regulations  will  allow  for  such  sale  on  October  17,  2019.    The  Cannabis 
Regulations require processors to file a notice with Health Canada at least sixty days 
before releasing a new product to the market. As a result, any cannabis products that 
are  cannabis  extracts  (other  than  currently-saleable  cannabis  oil),  topical  cannabis 
products or edible cannabis products are not expected to be available for purchase in 
medical or adult use markets until at least December 17, 2019.  

The  Cannabis  Regulations  acknowledge  that  a  range  of  product  forms  should  be 
enabled to help the legal industry displace the illicit market. Additional product forms 
that  are  mentioned  under  the  Cannabis  Regulations  include  vaporization  cartridges 
manufactured with dried cannabis. Specific details related to these new products are 
to be set out in a subsequent regulatory proposal. 

56 

 
 
 
 
 
Packaging and Labelling 

The  Cannabis  Regulations  require  plain  packaging  for  cannabis  products,  including 
strict  requirements  for  logos,  colours  and  branding.  Cannabis  package  labels  must 
include specific information, such as: (i) product source information, including the class 
of cannabis and the name, phone number and email of the processor; (ii) a mandatory 
health warning, rotating between Heath Canada’s list of standard health warnings; (iii) 
the Health Canada standardized cannabis symbol; and (iv) information specifying THC 
and CBD content. 

These requirements are intended to promote informed consumer choice and allow for 
the  safe  handling  and  transportation  of  cannabis,  while  also  reducing  the  appeal  of 
cannabis to youth and promoting safe consumption. 

Health Products Containing Cannabis 

Health Canada is taking a scientific, evidenced-based approach for the oversight of 
health  products  with  cannabis  that  are  approved  with  health  claims,  including 
prescription  and  non-prescription  drugs,  natural  health  products,  veterinary  drugs, 
veterinary health products and medical devices (discussed further below). Under the 
current  regulatory  framework,  these  health  products  are  subject  to  the  FDA  and  its 
regulations,  in  addition  to  the  Cannabis  Act  and  the  Cannabis  Regulations.  The 
Cannabis Exemption (Food and Drugs Act) Regulations exempt cannabis from the FDA 
unless,  among  other  things,  therapeutic  claims  are  made  in  association  with  such 
products.  For many of these products, such as drugs, natural health products and most 
classes of medical devices, pre-market approval is required.  Note, when the Cannabis 
Act  and  Cannabis  Regulations  were  introduced,  the  Natural  Health  Products 
Regulations  under  the  FDA  were  amended  to  essentially  prohibit  cannabis  products 
from  being  regulated  as  a  natural  health  product.    Instead,  cannabis,  if  not  exempt 
from  the  FDA,  will  be  treated  as  a  drug  product.    On  June  19,  2019,  Health  Canada 
announced  a  new  public  consultation  in  relation  to  a  potential  new  category  of 
products referred to as “cannabis health products”.  The comment period closed on 
September 3, 2019.  This new category may potentially address the current gap in the 
legislation/regulations  that  essentially  prohibits  health  claims  from  being  made  in 
relation to cannabis products (including medical cannabis). 

Promotional Activity 

The  Cannabis  Act  stipulates  strict  restrictions  regarding  the  promotion  of  cannabis 
products.  The  Cannabis  Act  generally  prohibits  promotions  of  cannabis,  cannabis 
accessories,  and  services  related  to  cannabis,  subject  to  certain  exceptions.  Brand 
preference or informational promotion is compliant provided that it is communicated 
in  a  fashion  that  excludes  young  people.  Within  permitted  channels  for  promotional 
activity, content restrictions prohibit any promotional activity that (a) communicates 
price or distribution, (b) could be appealing to young persons, (c) includes a testimonial 
or endorsement, (d) depicts a person, character or animal, whether real or fictional or 
(e) presents in way that evokes a positive or negative emotion about or image of, a 

57 

 
 
 
 
 
way of life such as one that includes glamour, recreation, excitement, vitality, risk or 
daring.  It is also prohibited to promote cannabis or a cannabis accessory in a manner 
that is false, misleading or deceptive or that is likely to create an erroneous impression 
about  its  characteristics,  value,  quantity,  composition,  strength,  concentration, 
potency, purity, quality, merit, safety, health effects or health risks.  Display of a brand 
element in sponsorship of a person, event, entity, activity or site, and naming of a sports 
or cultural site with a cannabis brand element, are also prohibited. The Cannabis Act 
also prohibits offering cannabis or a cannabis accessory without consideration or as 
consideration  for  other  purchases  or  transactions.  Similarly,  it  is  prohibited  to  offer 
benefits conditional on purchase of cannabis or a cannabis accessory. 

Cannabis for Medical Purposes 

Access to cannabis for medical use transitioned from the ACMPR under the CDSA to 
the Cannabis Regulations under the Cannabis Act on October 17, 2018. Part 14 of the 
Cannabis Regulations remains substantively similar to the medical cannabis regulatory 
framework under the ACMPR, with adjustments to create consistency with regulations 
applicable  to  adult  use,  to  improve  patient  access,  and  to  reduce  the  risk  of  abuse 
within the medical access system. Under Part 14 of the Cannabis Regulations, patients 
have three options for obtaining cannabis for medical purposes: (i) register a medical 
document  with  a  holder  of  a  medical  sales  licence  to  become  a  client  of,  and  to 
purchase  cannabis  products  from,  the  medical  sales  licence  holder;  (ii)  register  a 
medical document with Health Canada to produce a limited amount of cannabis; or 
(iii)  register  a  medical  document  with  Health  Canada  to  designate  someone  else  to 
produce a limited amount of cannabis for them. With respect to (ii) and (iii), starting 
materials, such as cannabis plants or cannabis plant seeds, must be obtained from a 
medical sales licence holder, or from a cultivation licence holder or processing licence 
holder at the direction of a medical sales licence holder.  

The  Cannabis  Regulations  provide  that  a  medical  document  authorizing  the  use  of 
cannabis  for  medical  purposes  must  include  the  daily  quantity  of  cannabis  that  the 
healthcare practitioner who provides the medical document authorizes for the patient. 
The maximum amount of cannabis products that may be sold to the patient are based 
on this daily quantity. 

Provincial Regulatory Framework 

The Cannabis Act allows the possession, sale, and distribution of cannabis by persons 
authorized under provincial legislation. Such provincially authorized persons may only 
sell cannabis products sourced from federally licenced cannabis producers. 

All Canadian provinces and territories have regulated distribution and sale of cannabis 
for adult use purposes, allowing all Canadians over the age of 19 (18 in Alberta and 
Québec)  to  purchase  cannabis  products  without  medical  access.  The  only  provinces 
with restrictions on classes of cannabis that may be sold in the adult use markets are 
Québec  and  Manitoba,  where  plants  and  seeds  are  not  sold  because  personal 
cultivation for adult use purposes is prohibited in those two provinces. Regardless of 

58 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
the framework, all cannabis products for the adult use cannabis market are ultimately 
supplied by federally licenced cultivators (plants and seeds only) and processors (all 
saleable classes of cannabis – currently dried cannabis, cannabis oil, plants and seeds; 
fresh cannabis is also saleable but the Company is unaware of any entity selling fresh 
cannabis as a cannabis product). 

In  most  provinces  and  territories,  a  liquor  or  cannabis  authority  operated  by  the 
province serves as a wholesaler, with retailers purchasing cannabis products from the 
liquor or cannabis authority or from provincially licenced distributors. The wholesalers, 
in  turn,  acquire  the  cannabis  products  from  federally  licenced  cultivators  and 
processors. Storefront and online sales of adult use cannabis products are regulated 
as part of the private sector or as public entities as in the following chart:

Risks and Uncertainties. 

Overview 

Regulated commercial cannabis production for medical and adult use markets is a new 
industry  in  Canada.    Participation  in  this  industry  requires,  among  other  things, 
obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals.  As a result, there is a high degree of 
risk  associated  with  the  Company’s  business.  There  is  a  significant  risk  that  the 
expenditures made by the Company in developing its cannabis business units for the 
medical and wellness markets in Canada and internationally, and the adult use market 
in Canada, and specifically the 7ACRES, BlissCo, Truverra EU, Truverra, Cambium Plant 
Sciences, Medigrow Lesotho, Supreme Cannabis Heights and KKE businesses, will not 
result in profitable operations.   

59 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
There are a number of risk factors that could cause future results to differ materially 
from  those  described  herein.  The  following  sets  out  the  principal  risks  faced  by  the 
Company. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those that the Company does 
not know about or that it currently deems immaterial, could also adversely affect the 
Company’s business and results of operations. 

Key Personnel Risks   

The Company’s efforts are dependent to a large degree on the skills and experience of 
certain of its Key Personnel, including the executive team and the board of directors.  
Key Personnel require security clearances, which may be issued for a period of up to 
five years and must be renewed in order for individuals to remain in a Key Personnel 
position.  The  Company  does  not  maintain  “key  man”  insurance  policies  on  these 
individuals. Should the availability of these persons’ skills and experience be in any way 
reduced  or  curtailed,  due  to  departure  or  other  reasons,  this  could  have  a  material 
adverse outcome on the Company and its securities. 

Low Quality Cannabis Risk   

Supreme  Cannabis  currently  operates  in  an  early  stage  market  which  has  a  small 
representation  of  Canadian  cannabis  consumers.  Should  the  Company  be  unable  to 
grow a quality product demanded by the consumers, this could have a material impact 
on the Company’s revenues and average price per gram. 

Licensing Risk 

Certain  of  the  Company’s  subsidiaries  are  dependent  on  maintaining  its  status  as  a 
Licence Holder. Although the Company’s subsidiaries have been successful in obtaining 
status as a Licence Holder, there is no guarantee that the Company’s subsidiaries will 
retain  such  status  as  licensing  is  beyond  the  control  of  Supreme  Cannabis  and  its 
subsidiaries  and  the  sole  discretion  lies  with  Health  Canada.  The  Licence  held  by 
7ACRES.  7ACRES  is  valid  until  March  2020.  The  Licence  held  by  BlissCo  is  valid  until 
March  2021,  thereafter  requiring  approval  for  renewal  by  Health  Canada.  Supreme 
Cannabis, 7ACRES and BlissCo must strictly adhere to the regulations and applicable 
law  in  order  to  maintain  the  Licences  and  to  secure  renewals.  There  can  be  no 
guarantee that Health Canada will renew any or all of the Licences. Failure to comply 
with  the  requirements  of  or  otherwise  maintain  the  Licences  held  by  7ACRES  and  by 
BlissCo,  or  any  failure  to  have  issued  or  maintain  pending  Licences  by  Truverra  or 
Cambium, would have a material adverse impact on the business, financial condition 
and operating results of the Company.   

Regulatory Risks   

Supreme  Cannabis  operates  in  a  new  industry  which  is  highly  regulated  and  is  in  a 
market  which  is  very  competitive  and  evolving  rapidly.  Sometimes  new  risks  emerge 
and management may not be able to predict all such risks, or be able to predict how 
risks  may  cause  actual  results  to  be  different  from  those  contained  in  any  forward-
looking statements. 7ACRES’ and BlissCo’s ability to grow, store and sell medical and 

60 

 
 
 
 
 
adult use cannabis in Canada is dependent on the Licences and the need to maintain 
the Licence in good standing (see Licensing Risk section). Failure to comply with the 
requirements  of  the  Licences  or  any  failure  to  maintain  this  Licences  would  have  a 
material adverse impact on the business, financial condition and operating results of 
Supreme.  

Supreme  Cannabis  will  incur  ongoing  costs  and  obligations  related  to  regulatory 
compliance.  Failure  to  comply  with  regulations  may  result  in  additional  costs  for 
corrective measures, penalties or in restrictions of our operations. In addition, changes 
in regulations, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could 
require  extensive  changes  to  Supreme  Cannabis’  operations,  increased  compliance 
costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on 
the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company. 

The  industry  is  subject  to  extensive  controls  and  regulations,  which  may  significantly 
affect the financial condition of market participants. The marketability of any product 
may be affected by numerous factors that are beyond Supreme Cannabis’ control and 
which  cannot  be  predicted,  such  as  changes  to  government  regulations,  including 
those relating to taxes and other government levies which may be imposed. Changes 
in government levies, including taxes, could reduce the Company’s earnings and could 
make  future  capital  investments  or  Supreme  Cannabis’  operations  uneconomic.  The 
industry is also subject to numerous legal challenges which may significantly affect the 
financial condition of market participants and which cannot be reliably predicted. 

The Company’s business as a Licence Holder under the Cannabis Regulations involves 
engaging  in  a  new  industry  and  new  market  regulated  under  the  Cannabis  Act,  the 
Cannabis Regulations and the Industrial Hemp Regulations. In addition to being subject 
to general business risks and to risks inherent in the nature of an early stage business, 
a  business  involving  an  agricultural  product  and  a  regulated  consumer  product,  the 
Company will need to continue to build brand awareness in the industry and market 
through  significant  investments  in  its  strategy,  its  production  capacity,  quality 
assurance,  and  compliance  with  regulations,  including  significant  restrictions  on 
promotional  activity.  These  activities  may  not  promote  the  Company’s  brand  and 
products  as  effectively  as  intended.  The  new  market  and  industry  into  which 
management  is  entering  will  have  competitive  conditions,  consumer  tastes,  patient 
requirements and unique circumstances, and spending patterns that may differ from 
existing markets. 

Change in Laws, Regulations and Guidelines   

The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of laws, regulations and guidelines 
relating to the manufacture, management, transportation, storage, sale and disposal 
of cannabis as well as laws and regulations relating to health and safety, privacy, the 
conduct of operations and the protection of the environment. While to the knowledge 
of  management,  Supreme  Cannabis  is  currently  in  compliance  with  all  such  laws, 
regulations  and  guidelines,  changes  to  such  laws,  regulations  and  guidelines  due  to 

61 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
matters beyond the control of Supreme Cannabis may have an adverse effect on the 
Company’s  operations  and  the  financial  condition  of  Supreme  Cannabis.    While  the 
potential impact of any of such changes is highly uncertain and fact dependent, it is 
not  expected  that  any  such  changes  would  have  an  effect  on  Supreme  Cannabis’ 
operations that is materially different than the effect on similar-sized companies in the 
same business as Supreme Cannabis. 

In  addition,  the  industry  is  subject  to  extensive  controls  and  regulations,  which  may 
significantly affect the financial condition of market participants. The marketability of 
any product may be affected by numerous factors that are beyond Supreme Cannabis’ 
control and which cannot be predicted, such as changes to government regulations, 
including those relating to taxes and other government levies which may be imposed. 
Changes  in  government  levies,  including  taxes,  could  reduce  Supreme  Cannabis’ 
earnings and could make future capital investments or Supreme Cannabis’ operations 
uneconomic. 

Market Risks   

The  Company’s  securities  trade  on  public  markets  and  the  trading  value  thereof  is 
determined by the evaluations, perceptions and sentiments of both individual investors 
and  the  investment  community  taken  as  a  whole.  Such  evaluations,  perceptions  and 
sentiments  are  subject  to  change,  both  in  short  term  time  horizons  and  longer  term 
time horizons. An adverse change in investor evaluations, perceptions and sentiments 
could have a material adverse outcome on the Company and its securities. 

Commodity Price Risks   

Cannabis is a developing market and likely subject to volatile and possibly declining 
prices year over year as a result of increased competition. Because the medical and 
adult use cannabis markets are part of a newly commercialized and regulated industry 
in Canada, historical price data is either not available or not predictive of future price 
levels.  There may be downward pressure on the average price for cannabis products 
sold  in  medical  and  adult  use  markets,  and  Supreme  Cannabis  has  arranged  its 
proposed  business  accordingly.  However,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  price 
volatility will be favorable to Supreme Cannabis or in line with expectations. Pricing will 
depend on general factors including, but not limited to, the number of Licences granted 
by  Health  Canada,  the  volume  and  quality  of  cannabis  and  cannabis  products  that 
Licence Holders other than subsidiaries of the Company are able to generate, and the 
number  of  patients  who  gain  physician  approval  to  purchase  medical  cannabis  as 
clients of medical sales licence holders. An adverse change in cannabis prices, or in 
investors’ beliefs about trends in those prices, could have a material adverse outcome 
on the Company and its securities. 

Reliance on Key Inputs 

7ACRES and BlissCo, and once they are Licence Holders, also Truverra and Cambium, 
are  dependent  on  a  number  of  key  inputs  and  their  related  costs,  including  raw 

62 

 
 
 
 
 
 
materials  and  supplies  related  to  cultivation  and  processing  operations,  such  as 
electricity, water and other utilities. Any significant interruption or negative change in 
the availability or economics of the supply chain for key inputs or any inability to secure 
required supplies and services or to do so on appropriate terms could materially impact 
their business, financial condition and operating results. 

Financing Risks   

Entering  the  Cannabis  Act  regulated  medical  cannabis  marketplace  requires  a 
substantial outlay of capital. There can be no assurance that the capital markets will 
remain  favorable  in  the  future  and/or  that  the  Company  will  be  able  to  raise  the 
financing needed to continue its business at favorable terms or at all.  Restrictions on 
the Company’s ability to raise financing could have a material adverse outcome on the 
Company and its securities. 

Expansion of 7ACRES Site   

Expansion  of  the  7ACRES  Site  is  subject  to  Health  Canada  regulatory  approvals.  The 
delay or denial of such approvals may have a material adverse impact on the business 
and may result in Supreme Cannabis not meeting anticipated or future demand when 
it arises. 

Reliance on Specific Sites  

The Company’s current and future production is expected to take place at the 7ACRES 
Site, the BlissCo Site, the Truverra Site and the Cambium Plant Sciences Site. Adverse 
changes or developments affecting any of these sites could have a material adverse 
effect on Supreme Cannabis’ ability to continue producing cannabis for the medical 
market,  and  cannabis  products  for  the  adult  use  market,  its  financial  condition  and 
prospects. 

Risks Inherent in an Agriculture Business   

The Company’s business involves cultivation of cannabis plants for processing by the 
Company or third parties into cannabis products.  Cannabis plants are an agricultural 
product. As such, the business is subject to the risks inherent in the agricultural business, 
including but not limited to, pests, plant diseases, crop failure and similar agricultural 
risks. Although Supreme Cannabis grows its products indoors under climate controlled 
conditions and carefully monitors the growing conditions with trained personnel, there 
can be no assurance that natural elements will not have a material adverse effect on 
the volume, quality and consistency of its cannabis plants, and of cannabis products 
processed  from  the  cannabis  plants,  and  consequently  on  the  Company’s  sales, 
profitability and financial condition. 

Brand Perception   

Supreme Cannabis is targeting making its brands and businesses a premium cannabis 
offering that is recognized as such by retailers and consumers.  Any negative changes 

63 

 
 
 
 
 
to the Company’s brands as a quality cannabis offering could have a material adverse 
effect on Supreme Cannabis’ sales, profitability and financial condition. 

Share Price Volatility and Price Fluctuations  

In recent years, the securities markets in Canada have experienced a high level of price 
and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many corporations have 
experienced wide fluctuations which have not necessarily been related to the operating 
performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Such volatility 
has been particularly evident with regards to the share price of the medical and adult 
use cannabis companies that are public issuers in Canada.  

Competition  

There  is  potential  that  Supreme  Cannabis  will  face  intense  competition  from  other 
companies, some of which can be expected to have more financial resources, industry, 
manufacturing and marketing experience than Supreme. Additionally, there is potential 
that the industry will undergo consolidation, creating larger companies that may have 
increased geographic scope and other economies of scale. Increased competition by 
larger,  better-financed  competitors  with  geographic  or  other  structural  advantages 
could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of 
operations of Supreme. 

To  date,  Health  Canada  has  issued  a  limited  number  of  Licences.  The  number  of 
Licences granted, and the resulting additional number of Licence Holders, could have 
an impact on the operations of the Company. Due to the early stage of the industry in 
which  the  Company  operates,  the  Company  expects  to  face  additional  competition 
from  new  Licence  Holders.  As  of  September  17,  2019,  Health  Canada  has  granted 
cultivation, processing or cannabis sales licences to a total of 223 Licence Holders. If 
the number of users of cannabis products purchased in medical or adult use markets 
in Canada increases, the demand for cannabis products will increase and the Company 
expects that competition will become more intense as current and future competitors 
begin  to  offer  an  increasing  number  of  diversified  cannabis  products.  To  remain 
competitive, the Company will require a continued level of investment in research and 
development,  marketing,  sales  and  client  support.  The  Company  may  not  have 
sufficient resources to maintain research and development, marketing, sales and client 
support efforts on a competitive basis which could materially and adversely affect the 
business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. 

Intellectual Property  

The  ownership  and  protection  of  trademarks,  industrial  designs,  patents,  plant 
breeders’  rights,  copyright,  trade  secrets  and  other  intellectual  property  rights  are 
significant aspects of the Company’s future success. Unauthorized parties may attempt 
to  replicate  or  otherwise  obtain  and  use  the  Company’s  branding  and  technology. 
Protecting  the  company’s  current  or  future  branding  and  technology  by  filing 
applications  for  trademarks,  industrial  designs,  patents,  plant  breeders’  rights  and 

64 

 
 
 
 
 
 
copyright, and by maintaining trade secrets or other intellectual property rights, could 
be  difficult,  expensive,  time-consuming  and  unpredictable.    Similarly,  policing 
unauthorized use of the Company’s branding and technology by enforcing these rights 
against unauthorized use by others could be difficult, expensive, time-consuming and 
unpredictable.  

In addition, other parties may claim that the Company’s branding or products infringe 
on  their  trademarks,  industrial  designs,  patents,  plant  breeders’  rights,  copyright  or 
other intellectual property rights. Such claims, whether or not meritorious, may result 
in  the  expenditure  of  significant  financial  and  managerial  resources,  legal  fees, 
injunctions or temporary restraining orders, and require the payment of damages or 
other  monetary  remedies.  As  well,  the  Company  may  need  to  obtain  intellectual 
property licenses from third parties who allege that the Company has infringed on their 
intellectual  property  rights.  Such  licences,  however,  may  not  be  available  on  terms 
acceptable  to  the  Company  or  at  all.  In  addition,  the  Company  may  not  be  able  to 
obtain or utilize on terms that are favorable to it, or at all, licenses or other rights with 
respect to intellectual property rights that it does not own or otherwise have access to. 

Environmental and Other Regulatory Requirements  

The current or future operations of the Company, including development activities and 
production within the 7ACRES Site, the BlissCo Site, the Truverra Site and the Cambium 
Plant  Sciences  Site,  may  require  permits  from  various  governmental  authorities  and 
such operations are and may be subject to laws and regulations governing disposal, 
growing,  storage,  transportation,  record  keeping,  sales  and  similar  activities. 
Companies  engaged  in  the  cannabis  business  need  to  comply  with  numerous  laws, 
regulations and permits. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to 
obtain  or  maintain  all  approvals  and  permits  that  may  be  required  to  develop  or 
operate  the  7ACRES  Site  on  terms  which  enable  operations  to  be  conducted  at 
economically justifiable costs. 

Environmental regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and 
water  quality  standards  and  land  reclamation,  and  usage  of  water  and  other  inputs 
that  may  be  required  for  the  Company’s  operations.  Such  regulations  also  set  forth 
limitations  on  the  generation,  transportation,  storage  and  disposal  of  solid  and 
hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which may require 
stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, 
more  stringent  environmental  assessments  of  proposed  projects  and  a  heightened 
degree  of  responsibility  for  companies  and  their  officers,  directors  and  employees. 
There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not 
adversely affect the Company’s operations. 

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may 
result  in  enforcement  actions  thereunder,  potentially  including  orders  issued  by 
regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may 
include  corrective  measures  requiring  capital  expenditures,  installation  of  additional 

65 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
equipment,  or  remedial  actions.  Parties  engaged  in  cannabis  cultivation  and 
processing may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason 
of such activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations 
of applicable laws or regulations. 

Product Liability   

As  a  distributor  of  cannabis  products  designed  to  be  ingested  by  humans,  Supreme 
Cannabis  faces  an  inherent  risk  of  exposure  to  product  liability  claims,  regulatory 
action and litigation if its products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. 
In addition, the sale of the Company’s cannabis products involves the risk of injury to 
consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. 
Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of Supreme 
Cannabis’  cannabis  products  alone  or  in  combination  with  medications  or  other 
substances could occur. Supreme Cannabis may be subject to various product liability 
claims, including, among others, that the Company’s products caused injury or illness, 
include  inadequate  instructions  for  use  or  include  inadequate  warnings  concerning 
possible side effects or interactions with other substances. A product liability claim or 
regulatory  action  against  Supreme  Cannabis  could  result  in  increased  costs,  could 
adversely  affect  the  Company’s  reputation  with  its  clients  and  consumers  generally, 
and  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  results  of  operations  and  financial 
condition of the Company. 

Product Recalls   

Manufacturers  and  distributors  of  cannabis  products  are  sometimes  subject  to  the 
recall or return of their cannabis products for a variety of reasons, including product 
defects,  such  as  contamination,  unintended  harmful  side  effects  or  interactions  with 
other substances, packaging safety and inadequate or inaccurate labelling disclosure. 
If  any  of  the  Company’s  cannabis  products  are  recalled  due  to  an  alleged  product 
defect  or  for  any  other  reason,  Supreme  Cannabis  could  be  required  to  incur  the 
unexpected  expense  of  the  recall  and  any  legal  proceedings  that  might  arise  in 
connection with the recall. Supreme Cannabis may lose a significant amount of sales 
and may not be able to replace those sales at an acceptable margin or at all. 

Results of Future Clinical Research   

Research regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social 
acceptance of cannabis or isolated phytocannabinoids (such as CBD and THC), alone 
or in combination with specific terpenoids, phenylpropanoids or other molecules found 
in the cannabis plant, remain in early stages. There have been relatively few clinical 
trials  on  the  benefits  of  cannabis  or  specific  preparations  of  phytocannabinoids, 
terpenoids, phenylpropanoids or other molecules found in the cannabis plant. Future 
research  studies  and  clinical  trials  may  reach  negative  conclusions  regarding  the 
medical  benefits,  viability,  safety,  efficacy,  dosing,  social  acceptance  or  other  facts 
and perceptions related to cannabis, which could have a material adverse effect on 
the  demand  for  the  Company’s  cannabis  products  with  the  potential  to  lead  to  a 

66 

 
 
 
 
 
material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of 
operations. 

Litigation   

The Company may become party to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course 
of business, which could adversely affect its business. Should any litigation in which the 
Company  becomes  involved  be  determined  against  the  Company,  such  a  decision 
could adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue operating and the value of its 
securities  and  could  use  significant  resources.  Even  if  the  Company  is  involved  in 
litigation and wins, litigation can redirect significant Company resources, including the 
time and attention of management and available working capital. Litigation may also 
create a negative perception of the Company’s brand. 

Uncertain tax burden  

Tax regimes, including excise taxes and sales taxes, can disproportionately affect the 
price  of  our  products,  or  disproportionately  affect  the  relative  price  of  our  products 
versus  other  cannabis  products.  Because  our  products  are  targeted  at  the  premium 
cannabis  market,  tax  regimes  based  on  sales  price  can  place  us  at  a  competitive 
disadvantage in certain price-sensitive markets. As a result, our volume and profitability 
may be adversely affected in these markets.  

History of Net Losses; Accumulated Deficit; Revenue from Operations   

The Company has incurred net losses to date and the Company may continue to incur 
losses.  There  is  no  certainty  that  the  Company  will  continue  to  produce  revenue  or 
operate profitably in the future. There is also no certainty that the Company will provide 
a return on investment in the future.  

Breaches of security   

Given the nature of the Company’s product and the concentration of inventory in its 
sites,  despite  meeting  or  exceeding  Health  Canada’s  physical  security  requirements, 
there  remains  a  risk  of  shrinkage  as  well  as  theft.  A  security  breach  at  one  of  the 
Company’s  sites  could  expose  the  Company  to  additional  liability  and  to  potentially 
costly litigation, increase expenses relating to the resolution and future prevention of 
these  breaches  and  may  deter  potential  patients  from  choosing  the  Company’s 
products. 

Uninsurable risks  

The Company may become subject to liability for pollution, fire and explosion, against 
which it cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure. Such events could 
result in substantial damage to property and personal injury. The payment of any such 
liabilities may have a material, adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.  

67 

 
 
 
 
 
Financial Performance of Subsidiary 

Supreme  Cannabis  is  a  holding  company  that  conducts  its  business  through  7ACRES 
which currently generates substantially all of the Company’s revenues. As a result, our 
financial  performance  and  ability  to  meet  financial  obligations  is  dependent  on  the 
operating  results  and  revenues  of  7ACRES,  and  the  distribution  of  those  earnings  to 
Supreme.  In  the  event  of  a  liquidation  or  bankruptcy  of  7ACRES,  lenders  and  trade 
creditors will generally be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of 7ACRES 
before any assets are made available for distribution to Supreme. 

Expansion into Foreign Jurisdictions 

The  Company's  expansion  into  jurisdictions  outside  of  Canada  is  subject  to  risks.  In 
addition, in jurisdictions outside of Canada, there can be no assurance that any market 
for the Company's products will develop. The Company may face new or unexpected 
risks or significantly increase its exposure to one or more existing risk factors, including 
economic instability, changes in laws and regulations, and the effects of competition. 
These factors may limit the Company's ability to successfully expand its operations into 
such jurisdictions and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, 
financial condition and results of operations. 

U.S. Border Officials Could Deny Entry into the U.S. to Employees of, or Investors in, 
Companies with Cannabis Operations in the United States and Canada.  

Since cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law, those employed at or investing 
in  legal  and  licenced  Canadian  cannabis  companies  could  face  detention,  denial  of 
entry or lifetime bans from the U.S. for their business associations with U.S. cannabis 
businesses.  Entry  happens  at  the  sole  discretion  of  the  U.S.  Customs  and  Border 
Protection officers on duty, and these officers have wide latitude to ask questions to 
determine  the  admissibility  of  a  foreign  national.  The  Government  of  Canada  has 
started warning travelers on its website that previous use of cannabis, or any substance 
prohibited  by  U.S.  federal  laws,  could  mean  denial  of  entry  to  the  U.S.  In  addition, 
business  or  financial  involvement  in  the  legal  cannabis  industry  in  Canada  or  in  the 
United States could also be reason enough for U.S. border guards to deny entry. On 
September  21,  2018,  U.S.  Customs  and  Border  Protection  released  a  statement 
outlining  its  current  position  with  respect  to  enforcement  of  the  laws  of  the  United 
States. It stated that Canada’s legalization of cannabis will not change U.S. Customs 
and  Border  Protection  enforcement  of  United  States  laws  regarding  controlled 
substances and because cannabis continues to be a controlled substance under United 
States law, working in or facilitating the proliferation of the legal cannabis industry in 
U.S. states where it is deemed legal or Canada may affect admissibility to the U.S. As a 
result,  U.S.  Customs  and  Border  Protection  has  affirmed  that,  a  Canadian  citizen 
working  in  or  facilitating  the  proliferation  of  the  legal  cannabis  industry  in  Canada, 
coming  to  the  U.S.  for  reasons  unrelated  to  the  cannabis  industry,  will  generally  be 
admissible to the U.S. However, if a traveler is found to be coming to the U.S. for reason 
related to the cannabis industry, they may be deemed inadmissible.

The  Company  Relies  on  International  Advisors  and  Consultants  in  Order  to  Keep 
Abreast of Material Legal, Regulatory and Government Developments that Impact 
its Business and Operations in the Jurisdictions in which it Operates.  

The legal and regulatory requirements in the foreign countries in which the Company 
operates  with  respect  to  the  cultivation  and  sale  of  cannabis,  banking  systems  and 
controls,  as  well  as  local  business  culture  and  practices  are  different  from  those  in 
Canada. The Company’s officers and directors must rely, to a great extent, on local 
legal counsel and consultants in order to keep abreast of material legal, regulatory and 
governmental  developments  as  they  pertain  to  and  affect  the  Company’s  business 
operations, and to assist with governmental relations. The Company must rely, to some 
extent,  on  those  members  of  management  and  the  board  of  directors  who  have 
previous experience working and conducting business in these countries, if any, in order 
to  enhance  its  understanding  of  and  appreciation  for  the  local  business  culture  and 
practices. The Company also relies on the advice of local experts and professionals in 
connection with current and new regulations that develop in respect of the cultivation 
and sale of cannabis as well as in respect of banking, financing, labour, litigation and 
tax  matters  in  these  jurisdictions.  Any  developments  or  changes  in  such  legal, 
regulatory or governmental requirements or in local business practices are beyond its 
control. The impact of any such changes may adversely affect the Company’s business. 

The Company’s Operations in Emerging Markets are Subject to Political and Other 
Risks Associated with Operating in a Foreign Jurisdiction 

The  Company’s  investments  have  operations  in  various  emerging  markets  and  may 
have operations in additional emerging markets in the future. Such operations expose 
the  Company  to  the  socioeconomic  conditions  as  well  as  the  laws  governing  the 
cannabis industry in such countries. Inherent risks with conducting foreign operations 
include, but are not limited to: high rates of inflation; extreme fluctuations in currency 
exchange rates, military repression; war or civil war; social and labour unrest; organized 
crime;  hostage  taking;  terrorism;  violent  crime;  expropriation  and  nationalization; 
renegotiation  or  nullification  of  existing  licences,  approvals,  permits  and  contracts; 
changes  in  taxation  policies;  restrictions  on  foreign  exchange  and  repatriation;  and 
changing political norms, banking and currency controls and governmental regulations 
that  favour  or  require  the  Company  to  award  contracts  in,  employ  citizens  of,  or 
purchase supplies from, the jurisdiction. 

Governments  in  certain  foreign  jurisdictions  intervene  in  their  economies,  sometimes 
frequently,  and  occasionally  make  significant  changes  in  policies  and  regulations. 
Changes, if any, in marijuana industry or investment policies or shifts in political attitude 
in the countries in which the Company operates may adversely affect the Company's 
operations  or  profitability.  Operations  may  be  affected  in  varying  degrees  by 
government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, 
price  controls,  export  controls,  currency  remittance,  importation  of  product  and 
supplies, income and other taxes, royalties, the repatriation of profits, expropriation of 
property,  foreign  investment,  maintenance  of  concessions,  licences,  approvals  and 

69 

 
 
 
 
 
 
permits, environmental matters, land use, land claims of local people, water use and 
workplace safety. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local 
practices could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of licences, or the imposition 
of  additional  local  or  foreign  parties  as  joint  venture  partners  with  carried  or  other 
interests. 

The Company continues to monitor developments and policies in the emerging markets 
in which it operates or invests and assess the impact thereof to its operations; however 
such developments cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect 
on the Company's operations or profitability. 

Corruption  and  Fraud  in  Certain  Emerging  Markets  Relating  to  Ownership  of  Real 
Property May Adversely Affect the Company’s Business 

There are uncertainties, corruption and fraud relating to title ownership of real property 
in certain emerging markets in which the Company operates or may operate. Property 
disputes over title ownership are frequent in emerging markets, and, as a result, there 
is a risk that errors, fraud or challenges could adversely affect the Company's ability to 
operate in such jurisdictions. 

The  Company  Relies  on  International  Advisors  and  Consultants  in  Order  to  Keep 
Abreast of Material Legal, Regulatory and Government Developments that Impact 
its Business and Operations in the Jurisdictions in which it Operates.  

The legal and regulatory requirements in the foreign countries in which the Company 
operates  with  respect  to  the  cultivation  and  sale  of  cannabis,  banking  systems  and 
controls,  as  well  as  local  business  culture  and  practices  are  different  from  those  in 
Canada. The Company’s officers and directors must rely, to a great extent, on local 
legal counsel and consultants in order to keep abreast of material legal, regulatory and 
governmental  developments  as  they  pertain  to  and  affect  the  Company’s  business 
operations, and to assist with governmental relations. The Company must rely, to some 
extent,  on  those  members  of  management  and  the  board  of  directors  who  have 
previous experience working and conducting business in these countries, if any, in order 
to  enhance  its  understanding  of  and  appreciation  for  the  local  business  culture  and 
practices. The Company also relies on the advice of local experts and professionals in 
connection with current and new regulations that develop in respect of the cultivation 
and sale of cannabis as well as in respect of banking, financing, labour, litigation and 
tax  matters  in  these  jurisdictions.  Any  developments  or  changes  in  such  legal, 
regulatory or governmental requirements or in local business practices are beyond its 
control. The impact of any such changes may adversely affect the Company’s business. 

The  Company’s  Operations  may  be  Impaired  as  a  Result  of  Restrictions  on  the 
Acquisition  or  Use  of  Properties  by  Foreign  Investors  or  Local  Companies  under 
Foreign Control 

Non-resident  individuals  and  non-domiciled  foreign  legal  entities  may  be  subject  to 
restrictions  on  the  acquisition  or  lease  of  properties  in  certain  emerging  markets. 

70 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Limitations also apply to legal entities domiciled in such countries which are controlled 
by  foreign  investors,  such  as  the  entities  through  which  the  Company  operates  in 
certain countries. Accordingly, the Company's current and future operations may be 
impaired as a result of such restrictions on the acquisition or use of property, and the 
Company's ownership or access rights in respect of any property it owns or leases in 
such  jurisdictions  may  be  subject  to  legal  challenges,  all  of  which  could  result  in  a 
material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company's  business,  results  of  operations,  financial 
condition and cash flows. 

Conflicts of Interest 

The Company may be subject to various potential conflicts of interest because of the 
fact  that  some  of  its  officers  and  directors  may  be  engaged  in  a  range  of  business 
activities.  In  some  cases,  the  executive  officers  and  directors  may  have  fiduciary 
obligations associated with these business interests that interfere with their ability to 
devote time to the Company and its affairs, and that could adversely affect Company 
operations. These business interests could require significant time and attention of the 
Company’s  executive  officers  and  directors.  In  addition,  the  Company  may  also 
become  involved  in  other  transactions  which  conflict  with  the  interests  of  the 
Company’s directors and officers who may from time to time deal with persons, firms, 
institutions or corporations with which the Company may be dealing, or which may be 
seeking  investments  similar  to  those  the  Company  desires.  The  interests  of  these 
persons  could  conflict  with  the  Company’s  interests.  In  addition,  from  time  to  time, 
these  persons  may  be  competing  with  the  Company  for  available  investment 
opportunities.  Conflicts  of  interest,  if  any,  will  be  subject  to  the  procedures  and 
remedies provided under applicable laws. In particular, in the event that such a conflict 
of  interest  arises  at  a  meeting  of  directors,  a  director  who  has  such  a  conflict  will 
abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In 
accordance with applicable laws, directors are required to act honestly, in good faith 
and in the Company’s best interests. 

Third Party Transportation  

In order for customers of the Company to receive their product, the Company must rely 
on  third-party  transportation  services.  This  can  cause  logistical  problems  with  and 
delays in patients, government entities and private retailers obtaining their orders and 
cannot be directly controlled by the Company. Any delay by third party transportation 
services may adversely affect the Company’s financial performance. 

The  Company  may  be  held  Responsible  for  Corruption  and  Anti-bribery  Law 
Violations  

The  Company’s  business  is  subject  to  Canadian  laws,  which  generally  prohibit 
companies and employees from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to 
foreign  officials  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  or  retaining  business.  In  addition,  the 
Company is subject to the anti-bribery laws of any other countries in which it conducts 

71 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
business now or in the future. The Company’s employees or other agents may, without 
its  knowledge  and  despite  its  efforts,  engage  in  prohibited  conduct  under  the 
Company’s policies and procedures and anti-bribery laws for which the Company may 
be  held  responsible.  The  Company’s  policies  mandate  compliance  with  these  anti-
corruption  and  anti-bribery  laws.  However,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  the 
Company’s  internal  control  policies  and  procedures  will  always  protect  it  from 
recklessness, fraudulent behaviour, dishonesty or other inappropriate acts committed 
by its affiliates, employees, contractors or agents. If the Company’s employees or other 
agents are found to have engaged in such practices, the Company could suffer severe 
penalties  and  other  consequences  that  may  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  its 
business, financial condition and results of operations. 

Fraudulent  or  Illegal  activity  by  the  Company’s  Employees,  Contractors  and 
Consultants 

The Company is exposed to the risk that its employees, independent contractors and 
consultants  may  engage  in  fraudulent  or  other  illegal  activity.  Misconduct  by  these 
parties  could  include  intentional,  reckless  and/or  negligent  conduct  that  violates:  (i) 
government  regulations;  (ii)  manufacturing  standards;  (iii)  federal  and  provincial 
healthcare  fraud  and  abuse  laws  and  regulations;  or  (iv)  laws  that  require  the  true, 
complete  and  accurate  reporting  of  financial  information  or  data.  It  is  not  always 
possible for the Company to identify and deter misconduct by its employees and other 
third  parties,  and  the  precautions  taken  by  the  Company  to  detect  and  prevent  this 
activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in 
protecting the Company from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits 
stemming from a failure to comply with such laws or regulations. If any such actions 
are  instituted  against  the  Company,  and  it  is  not  successful  in  defending  itself  or 
asserting  its  rights,  those  actions  could  have  a  significant  impact  on  the  Company’s 
business,  including  the  imposition  of  civil,  criminal  and  administrative  penalties, 
damages, monetary fines, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits 
and future earnings, and curtailment of the Company’s operations, any of which could 
have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company’s  business,  financial  condition  and 
results of operations. 

Global Economy Risk   

An economic downturn of global capital markets has been shown to make the raising 
of capital by equity or debt financing more difficult. The Company will be dependent 
upon the capital markets to raise additional financing in the future, while it establishes 
a user base for its products. As such, the Company is subject to liquidity risks in meeting 
its  development  and  future  operating  cost  requirements  in  instances  where  cash 
positions are unable to be maintained or appropriate financing is unavailable. These 
factors  may  impact  the  Company’s  ability  to  raise  equity  or  obtain  loans  and  other 
credit  facilities  in  the  future  and  on  terms  favorable  to  the  Company  and  its 
management.  If  uncertain  market  conditions  persist,  the  Company’s  ability  to  raise 

72 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
capital could be jeopardized, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s 
operations and the trading price of the Company’s shares on the TSX, OTCQX, and FRA. 

Dividend Risk 

The  Company  has  not  paid  dividends  in  the  past  and  does  not  anticipate  paying 
dividends  in  the  near  future.  The  Company  expects  to  retain  its  earnings  to  finance 
further growth and, when appropriate, retire debt. 

Financial Instruments & Other Instruments. 

The  Company’s  financial  instruments  consist  of  cash,  receivables,  investments, 
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and convertible debt. The fair values of cash, 
receivables,  accounts  payable  and  accrued  liabilities  approximate  their  carrying 
values due to the relatively short-term to maturity. The Company classifies its cash as 
fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), receivables as amortized cost, investments 
as fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) or FVTPL, and accounts 
payable, accrued liabilities, and convertible debt as amortized cost.  

The FVTPL investment in common shares is considered Level 1 categorization in the IFRS 
fair value hierarchy as a quoted price if an active market exists. The FVTPL investment 
in  common  share  purchase  warrants  that  are  not  traded  on  active  markets  is 
considered  Level  2  categorization  in  the  IFRS  fair  value  hierarchy  as  fair  value  is 
determined by observable inputs such as volatility, discount rates and the underlying 
stock price for the common shares. 

The  FVOCI  investments  are  considered  Level  3  categorization  in  the  IFRS  fair  value 
hierarchy, as it is a security without a quoted value. If Level 2 inputs are available, such 
as implied valuations from follow-on financing rounds, third party sale negotiations, or 
market-based approaches, fair value is considered determinable.  

For the year ended June 30, 2019 the Company has recognized an unrealized loss from 
investments classified as FVTPL of $1,128 (June 30, 2018: unrealized gain of $2,096) due 
to  the  changes  in  fair  value.  The  unrealized  gain  was  determined  using  Level  1  and 
Level  2  inputs.  The  Company  has  also  recognized  an  unrealized  gain  from  its 
investments  classified  as  FVOCI  of  $105,  net  of  tax  (June  30,  2018:  $nil)  that  was 
determined using Level 3 inputs.  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that would potentially affect 
current or future operations or the financial condition of the Company. 

Critical Accounting Estimates. 

73 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The  preparation  of  these  Financial  Statements  in  conformity  with  IFRS  requires 
management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts  of  assets,  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  at  the  date  of  the  Financial 
Statements  and  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the  reporting 
period.  Estimates  and  assumptions  are  continuously  evaluated  and  are  based  on 
management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events 
that  are  believed  to  be  reasonable  under  the  circumstances.  However,  actual 
outcomes can differ from these estimates. 

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk 
of  resulting  in  a  material  adjustment  to  the  amounts  recognized  in  the  Financial 
Statements are listed below: 

i) 

Business Combination: 

Determination  of  fair  value  of  assets  acquired,  liabilities  assumed  and  the  fair 
value of total purchase consideration, including contingent consideration, requires 
the use of various estimates made by management.  

ii) 

Revenue: 

The  Company  estimates  whether  certain  vendors  will  exercise  the  right  to  early 
payment discounts based on past experience with each vendor. 

iii) 

Biological Assets:  

Determination of the fair values of the biological assets requires the Company to 
make  various  estimates  and  assumptions.  The  fair  value  of  biological  assets  is 
considered a Level 3 categorization in the IFRS fair value hierarchy. The significant 
estimates and inputs used to assess the fair value of biological assets include the 
following assumptions as at June 30, 2019: 

a.  Selling prices – selling prices are based on the Company's historical average 
selling price per gram for the preceding nine months, adjusted for current 
market  conditions.  Adjusted  selling  prices  averaged  $6.13  for  cannabis 
flower and $2.44 for cannabis trim.  

b.  Post-harvest costs – the costs are based on actual processing costs incurred 
by drying, trimming, testing and packaging activities incurred in the period, 
including overhead allocations for these activities. Post-harvest processing 
costs averaged $0.42 per gram.  

c.  The stage of plant growth – the stage of plant growth is estimated by the 
number  of  days  into  the  growing  stage  as  compared  to  the  estimated 

74 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
growing  time  for  a  full  harvest.  The  estimated  stage  of  growth  of  the 
cannabis plants as at June 30, 2019 averaged 69%. 

d.  Expected yield – the expected yield per plant is based on the Company’s 
historical adjusted average yield per plant. Expected yield per plant is 70.51 
grams of cannabis trim and 70.96 grams of cannabis flower.  

iv) 

Property, Plant and Equipment: 

Initial  recognition  of  costs  –  The  Company  uses  estimates  to  determine  certain 
costs  that  are  directly  attributable  to  self-constructed  assets.  These  estimates 
primarily  include  certain  internal  and  external  direct  labor,  overhead,  and 
borrowing  costs  associated  with  the  acquisition,  construction,  development,  or 
betterment of its facilities. 

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment – Components of an item of property, 
plant  and  equipment  may  have  different  useful  lives.  The  Company  makes 
significant estimates when determining depreciation rates and asset useful lives, 
which require considering company specific factors, such as past experience and 
expected  use,  and  industry  trends.  The  Company  monitors  and  reviews  residual 
values,  depreciation  rates,  and  asset  useful  lives  at  least  once  per  year  and 
changes them if they are different from previous estimates. 

v) 

Intangible Assets and Goodwill: 

The Company uses estimates in determining the useful life and residual values of 
its  definite  life  intangible  assets.  The  definite  life  intangible  assets  that  are  not 
under development and are ready for use, are amortized on a straight-line basis, 
based on the estimated useful lives as described in the table below:  

The Company uses estimates in determining the recoverable amount of intangible 
assets  and  long-lived  assets.  The  determination  of  the  recoverable  amount  for 
impairment  testing  requires  the  use  of  significant  estimates,  such  as  future  cash 
flows and discount rates. Future cash flows are based on the Company’s estimates 
and  expected  future  operating  results  of  the  CGU  after  considering  economic 
conditions impacting the CGU. The following inputs have been used to determine 
the recoverability of intangible assets and long-lived assets based on the value in 
use of the asset or CGU: 

(a) 

Discount rate of 18% 

75 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(b) 

(c) 

(d) 

(e) 

(f) 

Average  selling  price  per  gram  of  approximately  $5.35  and  $2.38  for 
cannabis flower and trim, respectively  

Average  quantity  sold  per  year  ranging  from  approximately  25,000 
Kilograms to 50,000 Kilograms  

Average  cost  of  production  and  operating  expenses  of  approximately 
55%-75% of revenue  

Forecasted  cash  flow  period  of  5  years  followed  by  a  terminal  value  of 
future cash flows  

Growth  rate  of  10%  after  the  7ACRES  Site  has  reached  full  production, 
following 2% growth rate for terminal value  

vi) 

Provisions 

The Company’s best estimate of the royalty payments owed to KKE is the future 
minimum  fixed  royalty  payments  owed  to  KKE  over  the  expected  term  of  the 
Agreement  and  the  timing  of  the  payments.  The  initial  carrying  amount  of  the 
financial  liability  was  determined  by  discounting  the  stream  of  future  minimum 
royalty payments at a market interest rate of 18.31%. 

vii) 

Investments 

The  Company  uses  the  Black-Scholes  pricing  model  to  estimate  the  value  of  its 
investment in the warrants of BlissCo. The following estimates were used as inputs 
into the model as at June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018: 

The  Company  uses  the  discounted  cash  flows  valuation  method  to  estimate  the 
value of its FVOCI investments considered a Level 3 categorization on the IFRS fair 
value  hierarchy.  The  significant  unobservable  input  into  the  valuation  models  of 
these investments is the discount rate, which has been estimated to be between 
18%-30%. Changes in discount rates will result in changes in the fair values of these 
investments. 

viii)  Convertible Debentures: 

Market  rate  of  interest  –  The  market  rate  of  interest  is  estimated  by  assessing 
market  conditions  and  other  internal  and  external  factors.  The  market  rate  of 
interest used to calculate the fair value of the debt component of October 2018 

76 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Convertible Debenture is 18.31%. The market rate of interest used to calculate the 
fair  value  of  the  debt  components  of  November  2017  and  December  2016 
Convertible Debentures is 19.9%. 

ix) 

Share Based Compensation: 

Significant  estimates  are  used  to  determine  the  fair  value  of  stock  options,  the 
table below shows the range of estimates and assumptions used in applying the 
Black-Scholes option pricing model: 

x) 

Income Taxes: 

Provisions for taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to 
be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company 
reviews  the  adequacy  of  these  provisions  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period. 
However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result 
from  audits  by  taxing  authorities.  Where  the  final  outcome  of  these  tax-related 
matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences 
will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. 

xi) 

Financial Instruments: 

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of the levels in 
the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to 
estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are: 

Level  1  –  Unadjusted  quoted  prices  in  active  markets  for  identical  assets  or 
liabilities; 

Level  2  –  Inputs  other  than  quoted  prices  that  are  observable  for  the  asset  or 
liability either directly or indirectly; and 

Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data. 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations Effective July 1, 
2018. 

The Company adopted the following new accounting standards effective July 1, 2018. 

i) 

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) 

77 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9. In July 2014, the IASB issued 
the  final  publication  of  the  IFRS  9  standard,  which  supersedes  International 
Accounting  Standards  (“IAS”)  39  –  Financial  Instruments:  recognition  and 
measurement  (“IAS  39”).  IFRS  9  includes  revised  guidance  on  the  classification 
and  measurement  of  financial  instruments  and  new  guidance  for  measuring 
impairment on financial assets. The Company has made a policy choice to adopt 
IFRS 9 on a retrospective basis where the cumulative impact of adoption will be 
recognized in retained earnings as of July 1, 2018; thus, prior period comparatives 
will not be restated.  

Under IFRS 9, financial assets are classified and measured based on the business 
model  in  which  they  are  held  and  the  characteristics  of  their  contractual  cash 
flows. IFRS 9 contains three primary measurement categories for financial assets: 
measured at amortized cost, FVOCI, and FVTPL. Under IFRS 9, the Company has 
irrevocably  elected  to  present  subsequent  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  equity 
investments that are not held-for-trading in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). 
For  these  equity  investments,  any  subsequent  changes  in  fair  value  of  the 
instrument will be recorded in OCI, and cumulative gains or losses in OCI will not 
be reclassified into net income on disposal. Any subsequent changes in fair value 
on equity investments that are held-for-trading will continue to be realized in net 
income.  

Under IFRS 9, the loss allowance for trade receivables must be calculated using 
the expected lifetime credit loss and recorded at the time of initial recognition. 
The  Company  has  estimated  the  expected  loss  allowance  as  at  June  30,  2019 
using the lifetime credit loss approach to estimate the bad debt expense for the 
current period to be $103. There is no significant effect on the carrying value of 
the  Company’s  other  financial  instruments  under  IFRS  9  related  to  this  new 
requirement.  

Below  is  a  summary  showing  the  classification  and  measurement  bases  of  the 
Company’s financial instruments as at July 1, 2018 as a result of adopting IFRS 9 
(along with a comparison to IAS 39). 

Note 1: Subsequently measured at fair value with changes recognized in other 
comprehensive  income.  The  net  change  subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  in 

78 

 
 
 
 
 
 
the  case  of  investments,  is  reclassified  into  net  income  upon  disposal  of  the 
investment or when the investment becomes impaired.  

Note 2: Subsequently measured at fair value with changes recognized in OCI. 
The net change subsequent to initial recognition, in the case of investments, is 
not reclassified into net income upon disposal of the investment or when the 
investment becomes impaired. 

Note 3: Subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest 
rate. 

ii) 

IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers (“IFRS 15”) 

Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 15. IFRS 15 supersedes previous 
accounting standards for revenue, including IAS 18 – Revenue.  

IFRS  15  introduced  a  single  model  for  recognizing  revenue  from  contracts  with 
customers. This standard applies to all contracts with customers, with only some 
exceptions, including certain contracts accounted for under other IFRSs.  

The  standard  requires  revenue  to  be  recognized  in  a  manner  that  depicts  the 
transfer  of  promised  goods  or  services  to  a  customer  and  at  an  amount  that 
reflects  the  consideration  expected  to  be  received  in  exchange  for  transferring 
those goods or services. This is achieved by applying the following five steps:  

1. identify the contract with a customer;  

2. identify the performance obligations in the contract;  
3. determine the transaction price;  

4. allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; 
and  

5. recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. 

Revenue from the direct business to business sale of cannabis to legal and licenced 
Canadian  retailers  for  a  fixed  price  is  recognized  when  the  Company  transfers 
control of the good to the customer. The Company has elected to adopt IFRS 15 
on a cumulative effective basis, with no restatement of the comparative period. 
The  Company  assessed  the  impact  of  adopting  IFRS  15  retrospectively  and 
determined that no retroactive adjustments were necessary. 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Effective. 

IFRS 16 – Leases (“IFRS 16”) 

IFRS  16  was  issued  by  the  IASB  in  January  2016  and  brings  most  leases  onto  the 
statement  of  financial  position  for  lessees  under  a  single  model,  eliminating  the 
distinction  between  operating  and  finance  leases.  IFRS  16  supersedes  the  current 
accounting  standards  for  leases,  including  IAS  17  –  Leases  (“IAS  17”)  and 

79 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Interpretations  of  the  IFRS  Interpretations  Committee  4  –    Determining  whether  an 
arrangement contains a lease. 

Under IFRS 16, a lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The right-
of-use  asset  is  treated  similarly  to  other  non-financial  assets  and  depreciated 
accordingly, and the liability accrues interest. The lease liability is initially measured at 
the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted at 
the  rate  implicit  in  the  lease  or  an  entity's  incremental  borrowing  rate  if  the  implicit 
rate cannot be readily determined.  

Lessees are permitted to make an election for leases with a term of 12 months or less, 
or where the underlying asset is of low value and not recognize lease assets and lease 
liabilities. The expense associated with these leases can be recognized on a straight-
line basis over the lease term or on another systematic basis.  

The date of initial application of IFRS 16 is January 1, 2019. The Company has elected 
to adopt IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, the 
Company  will  not  restate  its  comparative  figures  but  will  recognize  the  cumulative 
effect  of  adopting  IFRS  16  as  an  adjustment  to  opening  retained  earnings  at  the 
beginning of the 2020 fiscal year.  

On  transition  to  IFRS  16,  the  Company  will  elect  to  apply  the  practical  expedient  to 
grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases and apply IFRS 16 only to 
contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified 
as leases under IAS 17 will not be reassessed for whether a lease exists. The Company 
will elect to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases that have a 
lease term of 12 months or less and for leases of low-value assets. The Company will 
also account for leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of 
initial  application  as  short-term  leases.  Accordingly,  the  Company  does  not  expect 
significant adjustments to opening retained earnings at the beginning of the 2020 fiscal 
year.  

Other MD&A Requirements. 

As specified by National Instrument 51-102, the Company advises readers of this MD&A

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting 

To the Shareholders of The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. (the “Company” or “Supreme”): 

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial 
statements, including responsibility for significant accounting judgments and estimates in accordance with International 
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This responsibility includes selecting appropriate accounting principles and 
methods, and making decisions affecting the measurement of transactions in which objective judgment is required. 

In discharging its responsibilities for the integrity and fairness of the consolidated financial statements, management 
designs and maintains the necessary accounting systems and related internal controls to provide reasonable assurance 
that transactions are authorized, assets are safeguarded, and financial records are properly maintained to provide 
reliable information for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. 

The Audit Committee is comprised of Directors who are neither management nor employees of the Company. The 
Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing management in the performance of its financial reporting 
responsibilities, and for approving the consolidated financial statements.  The Audit Committee has the responsibility of 
meeting with management and external auditors to discuss internal controls over the financial reporting process, 
auditing matters and financial reporting findings.  The Audit Committee is also responsible for recommending the 
appointment of the Company’s external auditors. 

The consolidated financial statements have been audited by MNP LLP, an external independent firm of Chartered 
Professional Accountants, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards on behalf of the 
Shareholders. MNP LLP has full and free access to, and meet periodically and separately with, both the Audit 
Committee and management to discuss their audit findings.

Independent Auditor's Report 

To the Shareholders of The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc.: 

Opinion 

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), 
which  comprise  the  consolidated  statements  of  financial  position  as  at  June  30,  2019  and  June  30,  2018,  and  the  consolidated 
statements  of  comprehensive  loss,  changes  in  shareholders'  equity  and  cash  flows  for  the  years  then  ended,  and  notes  to  the 
consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 

In  our  opinion,  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  consolidated  financial 
position of the Company as at June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash 
flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards 
are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are 
independent  of  the  Company  in  accordance  with  the  ethical  requirements  that  are  relevant  to  our  audits  of  the  consolidated  financial 
statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the 
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Other Information 

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises: 

 Management’s Discussion and Analysis


The information, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, in the Annual Report

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance 
conclusion thereon.   

In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, 
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in 
the audits or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Annual Report 
prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a 
material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements 

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

In  preparing  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  management  is  responsible  for  assessing  the  Company’s  ability  to  continue  as  a 
going  concern,  disclosing,  as  applicable,  matters  related  to  going  concern  and  using  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  unless 
management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

85

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high 
level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards 
will  always  detect  a  material  misstatement  when  it  exists.  Misstatements  can  arise  from  fraud  or  error  and  are  considered  material  if, 
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of 
these consolidated financial statements. 

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain 
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: 



Identify  and  assess  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error,
design  and  perform  audit  procedures  responsive  to  those  risks,  and  obtain  audit  evidence  that  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to
provide  a  basis  for  our  opinion.  The  risk  of  not  detecting  a  material  misstatement  resulting  from  fraud  is  higher  than  for  one
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control.

 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the

circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

 Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of  accounting  estimates  and  related

disclosures made by management.

 Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  management's  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  and,  based  on  the  audit
evidence  obtained,  whether  a  material  uncertainty  exists  related  to events  or conditions  that may  cast significant  doubt  on  the
Company’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern.  If  we  conclude  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are  required  to  draw
attention  in  our  auditor's  report  to  the  related  disclosures  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  or,  if  such  disclosures  are
inadequate,  to  modify  our  opinion.  Our  conclusions  are  based  on  the  audit  evidence  obtained  up  to  the  date  of  our  auditor's
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

 Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether  the  consolidated  financial statements  represent  the  underlying  transactions  and  events  in  a manner  that  achieves  fair
presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audits and 
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audits. 

We also  provide  those  charged  with  governance  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical  requirements  regarding 
independence,  and  to  communicate  with  them  all  relationships  and  other  matters  that  may  reasonably  be  thought  to  bear  on  our 
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. 

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Marufur Raza.

1. Nature of Operations

Supreme  is  a  federally  incorporated  Canadian  company  with  a  global  diversified  portfolio  of  distinct  cannabis 
companies, products and brands. Its common shares are publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") 
under  the  symbol  "FIRE",  Over-the-Counter  (“OTCQX”)  under  the  symbol  “SPRWF”,  and  on  the  Frankfurt  Stock

approximately  sixteen  acres  of  land  located  in  the  Bruce  Energy  Park,  in  Kincardine,  Ontario,  approximately  160 
kilometers outside of Toronto (the “Facility”). 7ACRES became a Licensed Producer on March 11, 2016 when it was 
issued a license to cultivate medical cannabis at its Facility. On June 28, 2017, the Company was granted permission 
to sell cannabis.  

The  Company’s  head  office  and  registered  records  office  is  located  at  178R  Ossington  Avenue,  Toronto,  ON,

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

e) New Accounting Standards effective July 1, 2018

The Company adopted the following new accounting standards effective July 1, 2018:

i.

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”)

Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9. In July 2014, the IASB issued the final publication
of the IFRS 9 standard, which supersedes International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 39 – Financial
Instruments:  recognition  and  measurement  (“IAS  39”).  IFRS  9  includes  revised  guidance  on  the
classification and measurement of financial instruments and new guidance for measuring impairment
on financial assets. The Company has made a policy choice to adopt IFRS 9 on a retrospective basis
where the cumulative impact of adoption will be recognized in retained earnings as of July 1, 2018;
thus, prior period comparatives will not be restated.

Under IFRS 9, financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model in which they
are  held  and  the  characteristics  of  their  contractual  cash  flows.  IFRS  9  contains  three  primary
measurement  categories  for  financial  assets:  measured  at  amortized  cost,  fair  value  through  other
comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), and fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”). Under IFRS 9, the
Company has irrevocably elected to present subsequent changes in the fair value of equity investments
that are not held-for-trading in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). For these equity investments, any
subsequent changes in fair value of the instrument will be recorded in OCI, and cumulative gains or
losses in OCI will not be reclassified into net income on disposal. Any subsequent changes in fair value
on equity investments that are held-for-trading will continue to be realized in net income.

Under IFRS 9, the loss allowance for trade receivables must be calculated using the expected lifetime
credit loss and recorded at the time of initial recognition. The Company has estimated the expected
loss allowance as at June 30, 2019 using the lifetime credit loss approach to estimate the bad debt
expense for the current period to be $103. There is no significant effect on the carrying value of the
Company’s other financial instruments under IFRS 9 related to this new requirement.

Below is a summary showing the classification and measurement bases of the Company’s financial
instruments as at July 1, 2018 as a result of adopting IFRS 9 (along with a comparison to IAS 39).

i. 

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (continued) 

Note 1: Subsequently measured at fair value with changes recognized in other comprehensive income. 
The net change subsequent to initial recognition, in the case of investments, is reclassified into net 
income upon disposal of the investment or when the investment becomes impaired.  

Note  2:  Subsequently  measured  at  fair  value  with  changes  recognized  in  OCI.  The  net  change 
subsequent to initial recognition, in the case of investments, is not reclassified into net income upon 
disposal of the investment or when the investment becomes impaired. 

Note 3: Subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate. 

ii. 

IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers (“IFRS 15”) 

Effective  July  1,  2018,  the  Company  adopted  IFRS  15.  IFRS  15  supersedes  previous  accounting 
standards for revenue, including IAS 18 – Revenue.  

IFRS  15  introduced  a  single  model  for  recognizing  revenue  from  contracts  with  customers.  This 
standard applies to all contracts with customers, with only some exceptions, including certain contracts 
accounted for under other IFRSs. The standard requires revenue to be recognized in a manner that 
depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer and at an amount that reflects the 
consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring those goods or services. This is 
achieved by applying the following five steps:  

1. Identify the contract with a customer;  

2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract;  

3. Determine the transaction price;  

4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and  

5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. 

Revenue from the direct business to business sale of cannabis to legal and licensed Canadian retailers 
is recognized when the Company transfers control of the good to the customer. The Company has 
elected  to  adopt  IFRS  15  on  a  cumulative  effective  basis,  with  no  restatement  of  the  comparative 
period. The Company assessed the impact of adopting IFRS 15 retrospectively and determined that 
no retroactive adjustments were necessary. 

f)  Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted  

i. 

IFRS 16 – Leases (“IFRS 16”) 

IFRS 16 was issued by the IASB in January 2016 and brings most leases onto the statement of financial 
position for lessees under a single model, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance 
leases. IFRS 16 supersedes the current accounting standards for leases, including IAS 17 – Leases 
(“IAS 17”) and IFRIC 4 – Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease. 

Under IFRS 16, a lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The right-of-use asset is 
treated  similarly  to  other  non-financial  assets  and  depreciated  accordingly,  and  the  liability  accrues 
interest. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments payable over 
the lease term, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease or an entity's incremental borrowing rate if 
the implicit rate cannot be readily determined.

(Expressed in thousands of Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise noted)  

2.      Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

f)  Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted (continued) 

Lessees are permitted to make an election for leases with a term of 12 months or less, or where the 
underlying  asset  is  of  low  value  and  not  recognize  lease  assets  and  lease  liabilities.  The  expense 
associated  with  these  leases  can  be  recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  lease  term  or  on 
another systematic basis.  

The date of initial application of IFRS 16 is January 1, 2019. The Company has elected to adopt IFRS 
16 using the modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, the Company will not restate its 
comparative figures but will recognize the cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 16 as an adjustment to 
opening retained earnings at the beginning of the 2020 fiscal year.  

On transition to IFRS 16, the Company will elect to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the 
assessment of which transactions are leases and apply IFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously 
identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17 will not be reassessed 
for  whether  a  lease  exists.  The  Company  will  elect  to  not  recognize  right-of-use  assets  and  lease 
liabilities for leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and for leases of low-value assets. The 
Company will also account for leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of 
initial  application  as  short-term  leases.  Accordingly,  the  Company  does  not  expect  significant 
adjustments to opening retained earnings at the beginning of the 2020 fiscal year.  

g)  Additional significant accounting policies, estimates, and judgements 

The  preparation  of  these  Financial  Statements  in  conformity  with  IFRS  requires  management  to  make 
judgments,  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets,  liabilities  and  contingent 
liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the 
reporting  period.  Estimates  and  assumptions  are  continuously  evaluated  and  are  based  on  management’s 
experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under 
the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. 

Following information is disclosed throughout the notes as identified in the table below: 

(a) 

(b) 

(c) 

Information on the Company’s significant accounting policies;  

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a 
material adjustment to the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements; and 

Information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect 
on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

3.  Business Combination  

Accounting Policy: 

A business combination is a transaction or event in which an acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses and 
is accounted for using the acquisition method. The total consideration paid for the acquisition is the aggregate of the 
fair values of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued in exchange for control of 
the  acquiree  at  the  acquisition  date.  The  acquisition  date  is  the  date  where  the  Company  obtains  control  of  the 
acquiree. The identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are recognized at their acquisition date fair values, 
except  for  deferred  taxes  and  share-based  payment  awards  where  IFRS  provides  exceptions  to  recording  the 
amounts at fair value. Acquisition costs are expensed to profit or loss. 

Contingent consideration, if any, is measured at its acquisition date fair value and included as part of the consideration 
transferred  in  a  business  combination.  Contingent  consideration  that  is  classified  as  equity  is  not  remeasured  at 
subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration 
that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates with the corresponding gain 
or loss being recognized in profit or loss. 

Non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, is recognized either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s 
proportionate  share  of  the  acquiree’s  net  assets,  determined  on  an  acquisition-by-acquisition  basis.  For  each 
acquisition, the excess of total consideration, the fair value of previously held equity interest prior to obtaining control 
and the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, is recorded 
as goodwill. 

Certain  fair  values  may  be  estimated  at  the  acquisition  date  pending  confirmation  or  completion  of  the  valuation 
process.  Where  provisional  values  are  used  in  accounting  for  a  business  combination,  they  may  be  adjusted 
retrospectively in subsequent periods. The measurement period is the period from the acquisition date to the date 
complete information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date is received. However, the 
measurement period does not exceed one year from the acquisition date.

3.  Business Combination (continued) 

Use of Estimates: 

Determination of fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and the fair value of total purchase consideration, 
including contingent consideration, requires the use of various estimates made by management.  

Use of Judgment: 

Classification  of  a  transaction  as  a  business  combination  depends  on  whether  the  assets  acquired  constitute  a 
business  in  accordance  with  the  criteria  set  forth  in  IFRS  3  –  Business  Combinations,  which  can  be  a  complex 
judgment.  

Explanatory Information: 

On  November  30,  2018  the  Company  acquired  Bayfield  Strategy,  Inc.  (“Bayfield”),  a  privately  held  Canadian 
communications  company  which  provides  expertise  in  the  area  of  strategic  communications,  public  affairs,  and 
shareholder services. The Company acquired this business to bring these services in-house. The transaction was 
accounted for as a business combination.  

The  Company  acquired  all  of  the  issued  and  outstanding  shares  of  Bayfield  for  share  consideration  of  358,423 
common shares of the Company, with a fair value of $667 and settlement of pre-existing relationship, measured at 
fair value of $200. As part of this transaction, the Company acquired the following net identifiable assets, which are 
measured at a fair value of $187, resulting in total goodwill of $680.

Goodwill  represents  expected  synergies,  future  income  and  growth,  and  other  intangibles  that  do  not  qualify  for 
separate recognition. None of the goodwill arising on this acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. 
Management has initially allocated the purchase price as noted above.  As the acquisition is within the measurement 
period, management will continue to refine and finalize the allocations. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 
a measurement adjustment related to net assets acquired was recorded, resulting in an adjustment to the purchase 
price allocation which decreased the net assets acquired and increased the goodwill by $20.  

On the acquisition date, the Company also made share-based payment advances to Bayfield employees for a total 
of 716,846 common shares of the Company, with a fair value of $1,333. The share-based payment advances have 
certain  performance  and  claw-back  agreements  attached  to  them,  which  expire  over  a  period  of  two  years.  The 
Company will amortize these share-based payment advances to profit and loss, over a period of two years, as the 
employees provide services to the Company. The amount recognized for the year ended June 30, 2019 was $581 
(2018: $nil), which is included in share-based payment in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.  

For  the  year  ended  June  30,  2019  Bayfield  accounted  for  a  recovery  of  $5  of  net  expenses  on  the  consolidated 
statement of comprehensive loss.

4.  Accounts Receivable  

Accounting Policy: 

The Company initially recognizes accounts receivable on the date they originate. Receivables are initially measured 
at fair value, and subsequently at amortized cost, with changes recognized in net income.  

The Company recognizes expected credit losses for trade receivables based on the simplified approach under IFRS 
9. The simplified approach to the recognition of expected losses does not require the Company to track the changes 
in credit risk; rather, the Company recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses at each 
reporting date from the date of the trade receivable. 

The  Company  evaluates  its  overdue  trade  accounts  and  measures  loss  allowance  at  an  amount  equal  to  twelve 
months  of  expected  losses,  which  is  allocated  to  an  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  and  recognized  on  the 
consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.  

Explanatory Information: 

The  Company’s  accounts  receivable  consists  of  trade  receivable,  sales  tax  receivable  and  other  receivable.  The 
breakdown of the accounts receivable balance is as follows: 

Trade accounts receivable (net of allowance of $67)
Sales tax receivable 
Other receivable
Total accounts receivable

As described in Note 2 (e) (ii), the Company adopted IFRS 15 on July 1, 2018. The standard requires revenue to be 
recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer and at an amount that 
reflects  the  consideration  expected  to  be  received  in  exchange  for  transferring  those  goods  or  services.  This  is 
achieved by applying the following five steps:  

a) 

Identify the contract with a customer; the Company enters into binding sales agreements with all customers 

b) 

Identify  the  performance  obligations  in  the  contract;  the  performance  obligation  of  the  Company’s  sales 
agreements is to deliver a fixed amount of dried cannabis  

c)  Determine the transaction price; sales agreements have fixed prices for dried cannabis  

d)  Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; the transaction price is allocated to 

the performance obligation to deliver dried cannabis   

e)  Recognize  revenue  when  (or  as)  the  entity  satisfies  a  performance  obligation;  the  Company  satisfies  the 
performance obligations when the dry cannabis is delivered to the customer as per the terms and conditions of 
the Company’s sales agreements 

The amount of recognized revenue is impacted by excise taxes as explained below. Excise taxes are applicable to 
the cannabis industry. The Company performed an analysis to assess whether the excise taxes are sales-related or 
effectively a production tax. Excise taxes are effectively a production tax as excise becomes payable when goods 
are moved from the Company’s warehouse to the end consumer and are not based on the retail sales value.

(Expressed in thousands of Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise noted)  

5.  Revenue (continued) 

Accounting Policy (continued):  

Increases in excise tax are not always (fully) passed on to customers and the Company cannot, or can only partly, 
reclaim the excise tax in the case products are eventually not sold to customers. Excise tax is borne by the Company 
and included in revenue.  

To provide full transparency on the impact of the accounting for excise, the Company presents the excise tax expense 
on a separate line below revenue in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. A new subtotal called ‘Net 
revenue’ is added. This ‘Net revenue’ subtotal is revenue as defined in IFRS 15 after discounts minus the excise tax 
expense. 

Use of Estimates: 

The Company estimates whether certain vendors will exercise the right to early payment discounts based on past 
experience with each vendor. 

Use of Judgements: 

Due to the complexity in tax legislations, significant judgement is applied in the assessment of whether taxes are 
borne by the Company or collected on behalf of a third party impacting the net or gross presentation of revenue. 

Explanatory information:  

During year ended June 30, 2019 the Company recognized gross revenue of $43,015 (June 30, 2018: $8,855) from 
the  sale  of  cannabis  products.  Included  in  gross  revenue  for  the  year  ended  June  30,  2019,  are  excise  taxes  of 
$1,182 (June 30, 2018: $nil). The Company’s sales transactions occurred in Canada and are substantially comprised 
of sale of dry cannabis. The Company has not experienced significant sales returns and no sales provision has been 
recognized as of June 30, 2019. During the year ended June 30, 2019 the Company had three major customers that 
accounted for 40%, 31%, and 7%, respectively, of total revenues for the year.   

6. 

Inventory 

Accounting Policy: 

Inventories consist of dried cannabis, cannabis distillate oil, cannabis seeds and supplies.  

Finished goods inventory consist of dried cannabis flower and trim that has been processed and is available for sale. 
Work in progress inventory consists of harvested cannabis plants that are in the processing stage. Cannabis distillate 
oil is a liquid cannabis concentrate that may be sold in the wholesale market in its current form or further refined in 
non-flower consumable products. Seeds inventory consists of cannabis seeds to be used in the genetic selection of 
cannabis  strains.  Supplies  inventory  includes  consumables  used  in  the  production  and  processing  of  cannabis 
cultivation activities.  

Subsequent to harvest all direct and overhead post-harvest costs are capitalized to inventory to the extent that the 
cost  is  less  than  net  realizable  value.  Direct  and  overhead  costs  include  wages  and  benefits,  facility  costs, 
amortization and other costs incurred in bringing the inventory to the present location and condition. Net realizable 
value is determined as the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of completion and estimated selling costs. 
Cost is determined on a weighted average basis for each individual harvest.  

Inventories are written down to net realizable value when the cost of inventories is determined not to be recoverable. 
When the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down no longer exist, the amount of the 
write-down is reversed.

During  the  year  ended  June  30,  2019  inventory  recognized  as  expense  was  $36,409  (June  30,  2018:  $6,698), 
consisting of $30,289 (June 30, 2018: $5,713) of realized fair value changes on inventory sold or impaired and $6,120  
(June 30, 2018: $985) of capitalized post-harvest costs expensed during the period as cannabis inventory is sold. 

Impairment charges related to inventory for the year ended June 30, 2019 was $855 (June 30, 2018: $398). The 
impairment charge is due to the cost of certain inventory exceeding net realizable value for the year ended June 30, 
2019. The amount has been expensed through realized fair value changes on inventory sold or impaired. 

7.  Biological Assets  

Accounting Policy: 

Biological assets, consisting of cannabis plants, are measured at fair value up to the point of harvest less costs to 
complete and sell.  

The Company initially values its cannabis plants as biological assets approximately 30 days into the growing stage; 
cannabis plants that are approximately between day 1 and day 30 in the growth cycle are not considered to have 
significant fair value and consequently are carried at a fair value of nil. During day 1 to day 15 of growth, the cannabis 
plants are considered clones and housed in the nursery room. During day 16 to day 30, the cannabis plants are 
considered to be in the pre-vegetation stage and housed in the vegetation rooms. During this time the survival rates 
of the clones and pre-vegetation plants are inconsistent. Consequently, the Company has concluded that probable 
future economic benefits associated with the cannabis plants in the first 30 days of growth will not flow to the Company 
resulting in a carrying value of nil.  

Approximately 30 days in the growth cycle, cannabis plants are moved in the flowering room where they will grow for 
approximately  70  days  until  harvest.  When  the  cannabis  plants  are  transferred  in  the  flowering  rooms  they  are 
sufficiently mature and do not experience significant plant loss. Growing time for a full harvest approximates 100 
days. 

The company values biological assets by multiplying the expected yield, in grams, from each harvest by the selling 
price expected to be achieved by the Company. The value of biological assets is then reduced by the percentage of 
completion of the harvest and the estimated post-harvest costs and cost to complete. The Company estimates that 
fair value of the cannabis plants approximates the stage of completion of the cannabis plants based on approximately 
linear costs incurred during the growth stage. 

All direct and overhead costs incurred during the biological transformation process and up to the point of harvest are 
expensed  to  production  costs  on  the  consolidated  statement  of  comprehensive  loss  in  the  period  the  costs  are 
incurred. 

Use of Estimates: 

Determination  of  the  fair  values  of  the  biological  assets  requires  the  Company  to  make  various  estimates  and 
assumptions. The fair value of biological assets is considered a Level 3 categorization in the IFRS fair value hierarchy.

7.  Biological Assets (continued) 

Use of Estimates (continued): 

The  significant  estimates  and  inputs  used  to  assess  the  fair  value  of  biological  assets  include  the  following 
assumptions as at June 30, 2019: 

a)  Selling  prices  –  selling  prices  are  based  on  the  Company's  historical  average  selling  price  per  gram  for  the 
preceding  nine  months,  adjusted  for  current  market  conditions.  Adjusted  selling  prices  averaged  $6.13  for 
cannabis flower and $2.44 for cannabis trim.  

b)  Post-harvest costs – the costs are based on actual processing costs incurred by drying, trimming, testing and 
packaging  activities  incurred  in  the  period,  including  overhead  allocations  for  these  activities.  Post-harvest 
processing costs averaged $0.42 per gram.  

c)  The stage of plant growth – the stage of plant growth is estimated by the number of days into the growing stage 
as compared to the estimated growing time for a full harvest. The estimated stage of growth of the cannabis 
plants as at June 30, 2019 averaged 69%. 

d)  Expected yield – the expected yield per plant is based on the Company’s historical adjusted average yield per 

plant. Expected yield per plant is 70.51 grams of cannabis trim and 70.96 grams of cannabis flower.  

Explanatory Information: 

As at June 30, 2019, the Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants. The changes in the fair value of 
biological assets are as follows: 

Carrying amount, June 30, 2017
Changes in fair value less costs to sell due to biological transformation
Transferred to inventory upon harvest
Carrying amount, June 30, 2018
Changes in fair value less costs to sell due to biological transformation

(40,205)

The Company expects that a $1 increase or decrease in the wholesale market price per gram of dried cannabis 
would increase or decrease the fair value of biological assets by $2,485 (June 30, 2018: $861). A 5% increase or 
decrease  in  the  estimated  yield  per  cannabis  plant  would  result  in  an  increase  or  decrease  in  the  fair  value  of 
biological assets by $227 (June 30, 2018: $164). Additionally, an increase or decrease of 10% in the post-harvest 
costs would decrease or increase the fair value of biological assets by $105 (June 30, 2018: $78). 

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 or impaired

$            15,395 
           30,289 

Realized  fair  value  changes  on  inventory  sold  or  impaired  included  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  statement  of 
comprehensive loss is entirely comprised of the amount of changes in fair value due to biological transformation and 
inventory impairment charges that have been expensed during the years ended June 30, 2019 as cannabis inventory 
is sold or impaired.   

Unrealized  change  in  fair  value  of  biological  assets  is  the  net  amount  of  changes  in  fair  value  due  to  biological 
transformation charges that have been added to biological assets and inventory during the years ended June 30, 
2019.

7.  Biological Assets (continued) 

Explanatory Information (continued): 

As at June 30, 2019, biological assets and inventory include a total of $22,567 (June 30, 2018: $7,208) of unrealized 
fair value of biological assets charges which are yet to be expensed as the related cannabis inventory is not yet sold. 
For the year ended June 30, 2019 a total of $30,289 (June 30, 2018: $5,713) has been recognized as realized fair 
value changes on inventory sold or impaired. 

8.  Property, Plant and Equipment 

Accounting Policy: 

Initial recognition and amortization: 

The  Company  measures  property,  plant  and  equipment  upon  initial  recognition  at  cost  and  begins  recognizing 
depreciation when the asset is ready for its intended use, and when applicable, all Health Canada licensing has been 
received.  Subsequently,  property,  plant  and  equipment  is  carried  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and 
accumulated impairment losses.  

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed 
assets includes: 

(a)  Cost of materials and direct labor; 

(b)  Costs directly associated with bringing the assets to a working condition for intended use; and 

(c)  Borrowing costs on qualifying assets. 

 The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment over its estimated useful life by expensing depreciation in 
the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.  

The  Company  calculates  gains  and  losses  on  the  disposal  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  by  comparing  the 
proceeds from the disposal with the item’s carrying amount and recognizes the gains or losses in the consolidated 
statement of comprehensive loss. 

The Company capitalizes development expenditures if they meet the criteria for recognition as an asset and amortize 
them  over  their  expected  useful  lives  once  the  assets  to  which  they  relate  are  available  for  use.  The  Company 
calculates  depreciation  based  on  the  estimated  useful  lives  and  pattern  of  consumption  of  assets  based  on  the 
following:

Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes 
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable 
amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value, less costs to sell, and its value in use.  

If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment charge is recognized immediately 
in  the  consolidated  statement  of  comprehensive  loss,  by  the  amount  by  which  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset 
exceeds the recoverable amount. 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 recognized previously.  

Borrowing costs capitalization policy: 

Borrowing costs, including non-cash accretion, attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying 
assets are capitalized as part of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended 
use. 

Use of Estimates: 

Initial recognition of costs – The Company uses estimates to determine certain costs that are directly attributable to 
self-constructed assets. These estimates primarily include certain internal and external direct labor, overhead, and 
borrowing costs associated with the acquisition, construction, development, or betterment of its facilities. 

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment – Components of an item of property, plant and equipment may have 
different  useful  lives.  The  Company  makes  significant  estimates  when  determining  depreciation  rates  and  asset 
useful lives, which require considering company specific factors, such as past experience and expected use, and 
industry trends. The Company monitors and reviews residual values, depreciation rates, and asset useful lives at 
least once per year and changes them if they are different from previous estimates. 

Use of Judgments: 

The Company makes significant judgments in choosing methods for depreciating property, plant and equipment that 
the Company believes most accurately represent the consumption of benefits derived from those assets and are 
most representative of the economic substance of the intended use of the underlying assets.

As at June 30, 2019 the Company had $52,554 (June 30, 2018: $63,868) of Facility under development. Each phase 
of construction is considered under development until such time that it has been approved by Health Canada. Once 
Health Canada approval is granted, the asset is amortized as it is available for use. During the year ended June 30, 
2019, a total of $88,205 (June 30, 2018: $15,083) of facility additions became available for use. 

During the year ended June 30, 2019 a total of $5,367 (June 30, 2018: $5,526) of borrowing costs were capitalized. 
Borrowing costs include a non-cash accretion expense of $3,039 (June 30, 2018: $2,736). Amortization expense of 
$2,468 (June 30, 2018: $844) has been recorded as production costs or capitalized to inventory for the year ended 
June 30, 2019, respectively.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill 

Accounting Policy: 

Initial recognition – Intangible assets: 

Upon initial recognition, the Company measures intangible assets at cost unless they are acquired through a business 
combination, in which case they are measured at fair value. For internally generated intangible assets, 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.

9. 

Intangible Assets and Goodwill (continued) 

Accounting Policy (continued): 

Initial recognition – Intangible assets (continued): 

The Company begins recognizing amortization of intangible assets with finite useful lives when the asset is ready for 
its  intended  use.  Subsequently,  the  asset  is  carried  at  cost  less  accumulated  amortization  and  accumulated 
impairment losses. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at each period 
end, and any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.  

The Company does not amortize intangible assets with indefinite lives. 

Initial recognition – Goodwill: 

The  Company  initially  recognizes  goodwill  when  it  arises  from  business  combinations.  The  Company  measures 
goodwill as the difference between the purchase consideration for the acquisition and the fair value of the separately 
identifiable  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  as  part  of  the  acquisition.  If  the  fair  value  of  the  purchase 
consideration transferred is lower than the sum of the separately identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, 
the Company immediately recognizes the difference as a gain in the statement of comprehensive loss.  

The Company allocates Goodwill to a cash-generating unit (“CGU”) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of 
the business combination from which the goodwill arose. 

Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill: 

An intangible asset or goodwill is impaired if the recoverable amount of the asset is less than its carrying amount. 
The recoverable amount of an intangible asset or the CGU to which the goodwill has been allocated, is the higher of 
its fair value less costs to sell and value in use.  

The  Company  tests  intangible  assets  with  finite  useful  lives  for  impairment  whenever  an  event  or  change  in 
circumstances indicates that the assets’ carrying amount may not be recoverable. For indefinite life intangible assets 
and goodwill, the Company conducts impairment tests on every annual reporting period end, or more frequently if 
any event or change in circumstances indicate that the assets’ carrying amount may not be recoverable.  

If an asset is considered impaired, the Company immediately recognizes the impairment loss in the consolidated 
statement of comprehensive loss.  

Use of Estimates: 

The Company uses estimates in determining the useful life and residual values of its definite life intangible assets. 
The definite life intangible assets that are not under development and are ready for use, are amortized on a 
straight-line basis, based on the estimated useful lives as described in the table below:

The Company uses estimates in determining the recoverable amount of intangible assets and long-lived assets. The 
determination of the recoverable amount for impairment testing requires the use of significant estimates, such as 
future cash flows and discount rates. Future cash flows are based on the Company’s estimates and expected future 
operating results of the CGU after considering economic conditions impacting the CGU.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill (continued) 

Use of Estimates (continued): 

The following inputs have been used to determine the recoverability of intangible assets and long-lived assets based 
on the value in use of the asset or CGU: 

(a)  Discount rate of 18% 

(b)  Average selling price per gram of approximately $5.35 and $2.38 for cannabis flower and trim, respectively  

(c)  Average quantity sold per year ranging from approximately 25,000 Kilograms to 50,000 Kilograms  

(d)  Average cost of production and operating expenses of approximately 55%-75% of revenue  

(e)  Forecasted cash flow period of 5 years followed by a terminal value of future cash flows  

(f)  Growth rate of 10% after the facility has reached full production, following 2% growth rate for terminal value 

A 20% increase or decrease in any of the above inputs individually or cumulatively will not result in an impairment of 
intangible assets. 

Use of Judgements: 

Intangible assets: 

Judgment is applied when deciding to designate the Health Canada license as an asset with indefinite useful life 
since the Company believes the license is likely to be renewed for the foreseeable future such that there is no limit 
to  the  period  over  which  the  asset  is  expected  to  generate  net  cash  inflows.  The  Company  makes  judgments  to 
determine that this asset has indefinite life, analyzing all relevant factors, including the expected usage of the asset, 
the typical life cycle of the asset, and anticipated changes in the market demand for the products and services the 
asset helps generate. After review of the competitive, legal, regulatory, and other factors, it is the Company’s view 
that these factors do not limit the useful life of the Company’s Health Canada license. The Company’s intangible 
asset of its Health Canada license has been allocated to its one CGU.  

The Company uses judgement to assess if an intangible asset is an indefinite or a definite life intangible. Additionally, 
in the case of internally generated intangibles, further judgment is required to assess if the costs incurred are part of 
research or development stage and whether future economic benefits are probable.  

Goodwill: 

The Company uses judgment in determining the allocation of goodwill to a CGU for the purpose of impairment testing. 
As at June 30, 2019 the Company only had one CGU and all the goodwill was allocated to that CGU.

As at June 30, 2019 the Company had $73 (June 30, 2018: $nil) of intangible  assets under development, which 
would be classified as definite life intangibles, upon completion of development. For the years ending June 30, 2019 
the Company has not recorded any amortization on these assets, as they are not ready for use yet.  

Note 9A: 

The Company implemented an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) software and internally developed its website 
and database. The development costs associated with these projects have been capitalized as part of an internally 
generated, definite life intangible asset.  

During the years ended June 30, 2019 the Company recognized amortization expense on the ERP software in the 
amounts of $65 (June 30, 2018: $nil). During the same period, the Company also recognized amortization expense 
on the website and database intangible asset in the amount of $53 (June 30, 2018: $nil).   

Note 9B: 

On December 6, 2018 the Company entered into an agreement with Khalifa Kush Enterprises Canada ULC (“KKE”) 
(an unrelated entity), which gives the Company an exclusive right to sell products under the KKE or KK brand across 
Canada, and international markets (other than the United States), in addition to certain product development services 
(the “Agreement”).  

This product license has been capitalized as a definite life intangible, as there is a defined useful life, in accordance 
with the terms of the Agreement. The Company issued 5,745,000 common shares valued at $1.43 each, along with 
a cash consideration of $1,000 for a total purchase consideration of $9,215. The Company incurred total transaction 
costs of $65 which have been capitalized.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill (continued) 

Explanatory Information (continued): 

Note 9B (continued): 

In addition, the Company owes certain minimum royalty payments to KKE over the course of the  Agreement. As 
further discussed in Note 10, the initial liability amount was determined to be $6,370 which has been capitalized to 
intangible asset. During the year ended June 30, 2019 the Company incurred $594 (June 30, 2018: $nil) in non-cash 
accretion expense, of which $72 (June 30, 2018: $nil) was capitalized to the intangible asset. 

For the year ended June 30, 2019 the Company recorded amortization expense of $734 (2018: $nil), of which $300 
(2018: $nil) relates to KKE Royalties that has been included in production costs.  

Note 9C: 

The  indefinite  life  intangible  asset  represents  the  value  attributed  to  an  in-process  Health  Canada  application  on 
acquisition of 7ACRES. Subsequent to acquisition, the Company was granted a license to cultivate cannabis. ACMPR 
licenses are issued by Health Canada for a maximum term of 3 years and are to be renewed before expiry unless 
the  Company  has  significantly  breached  compliance.  Accordingly,  the  useful  life  of  the  License  is  considered 
indefinite and has not been amortized. The License is tested for impairment annually by comparing the recoverable 
amount  to  its  carrying  amount.  The  Company  did  not  have  any  impairment  losses  in  the  current  period  and  the 
intangible asset continues to be carried at $8,397 (June 30, 2018: $8,397). 

Note 9D: 

The Company has recorded goodwill arising from the Bayfield acquisition transaction, as discussed in Note 3. The 
Company has allocated the goodwill to its only CGU, the cannabis cultivation operations in Kincardine, Ontario. The 
CGU is tested for impairment annually or if there are any events or change in circumstances that might indicate that 
the assets’ carrying amount is not recoverable.  

The Company did not have any impairment losses in the current period and the goodwill continues to be carried at 
$680 (June 30, 2018: $nil). 

10.  Provisions  

Accounting Policy: 

The  Company  recognizes  a  provision  when  a  past  event  creates  a  legal  or  constructive  obligation  that  can  be 
reasonably estimated and is likely to result in a future outflow of economic resources. The estimated cash outflows 
are discounted at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and specific 
risks. The Company recognizes a provision even when the timing or amount of the obligation may be uncertain, which 
can require the Company to make significant estimates. The Company measures provisions for one-off events at the 
most likely amount and for large populations of events at a probability-weighted expected value.  

The  Company  currently  has  one  provision  for  royalty  payments  owed  to  KKE  over  the  expected  term  of  the 
Agreement. 

Use of Estimates: 

The Company’s best estimate of the royalty payments owed to KKE is the future minimum fixed royalty payments 
owed to KKE over the expected term of the Agreement and the timing of the payments. The initial carrying amount 
of the provision was determined by discounting the stream of future minimum royalty payments at a market interest 
rate of 18.31%.

10.  Provisions (continued) 

Use of Judgements: 

Significant  judgment  is  required  to  determine  when  the  Company  is  subject  to  unavoidable  costs  arising  from 
contracts. These judgments may include, for example, whether a certain promise is legally binding or whether the 
Company may be successful in negotiations with the counterparty. The Company uses judgement in determining the 
timing of future outflows of economic resources. 

Explanatory Information: 

As  discussed  in  Note  9B,  the  Company  owes  certain  minimum  royalty  payments  to  KKE  over  the  course  of  the 
Agreement. The initial liability amount attached to this future stream of payments was determined to be $6,370. The 
Company has capitalized this amount to Product License intangible asset. During the year ended June 30, 2019 the 
Company  incurred  $594  (June  30,  2018:  $nil)  in  non-cash  accretion  expense.  $72  (June  30,  2018:  $nil)  of  that 
accretion expense was capitalized to the intangible asset since the asset was still under development until April 4, 
2019 as per terms of the Agreement. Since then, the Company has started amortizing the asset and has recorded 
total amortization expense of $300 (June 30, 2018: $nil) for the year ending June 30, 2019, which has been recorded 
in production costs. As at June 30, 2019 the Company has an outstanding current and long-term liability of $1,318 
(June 30, 2018: $nil) and $4,646 (June 30, 2018: $nil), respectively, related to the minimum royalty payments due. 

11.  Investments 

Accounting Policy: 

The Company classifies its investments in companies where it does not have control or significant influence as follows: 

(i) 

Publicly-traded companies – at FVTPL based on publicly quoted prices; and 

(ii) 

Private companies – at FVOCI using implied valuations from follow-on financing grounds, third-party 
sale negotiations, or market-based approaches. 

Use of Estimates: 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the value of its investment in the warrants of BlissCo 
Cannabis Corp. (“BlissCo”). The following estimates were used as inputs into the model as at June 30, 2019, and 
June 30, 2018: 

Share price
Expected dividend yield
Stock price volatility
Expected life of warrants
Forfeiture rate
Risk free rate

The  Company  uses  the  discounted  cash  flows  valuation  method  to  estimate  the  value  of  its  FVOCI  investments 
considered a Level 3 categorization on the IFRS fair value hierarchy.  

The significant unobservable input into the valuation models of these investments is the discount rate, which has 
been estimated to be between 18%-30%. Changes in discount rates will result in changes in the fair values of these 
investments.

On February 26, 2018, Supreme closed an investment in BlissCo, an early stage vertically integrated distribution 
focused cannabis company. The Company purchased 10,000,000 units for $3,000. Each unit is comprised of one 
common share and one common share purchase warrant of BlissCo. The common share purchase warrants are 
exercisable until February 23, 2020 at $0.60 per common share. The Company has valued the common shares and 
common share purchase warrant separately. The Company does not exercise significant influence or control. The 
investment has been classified as a FVTPL financial instrument. The Company revalued the investment as at June 
30, 2019 and adjusted the carrying amount of common shares to $3,550 which is based on the common share price 
of BlissCo quoted on the Canadian Securities Exchange, resulting in an unrealized loss of $450 (June 30, 2018: 
unrealized gain of $1,779).  

The Company revalued the common share purchase warrants as at June 30, 2019 using the Black-Scholes pricing 
model to estimate the fair value of warrants at the period then ended, resulting in an unrealized loss of $678 (June 
30, 2018: unrealized gain of $317). The unrealized losses related to BlissCo common shares and common share 
purchase warrants have been recorded in unrealized gains and losses on investments on the consolidated statement 
of comprehensive loss. Refer to Note 19 for subsequent events related to the Company’s investment in BlissCo.  

Note 11B: 

On April 22, 2016, Supreme closed an investment in Trellis Solutions Inc., a software company focused on providing 
enterprise resource planning solutions to the cannabis industry. The Company purchased 285,714 common shares 
for $100. The Company does not exercise significant influence or control.  

The investment has been classified as a FVOCI financial instrument. The Company revalued the investment on June 
30, 2017 and adjusted the carrying amount to $1,074 due to follow-on financing round establishing a current fair 
value.

11.  Investments (continued) 

Explanatory Information (continued): 

Note 11B (continued): 

During the year ended June 30, 2019 there were no adjustments necessary to the carrying value of the investment 
based on free cash flow model analysis (2018: $nil). The Company intends to continue as a passive shareholder. 

Note 11C: 

On March 20, 2018, Supreme closed an investment in MediGrow Lesotho (Pty) Limited (“MediGrow”), a licensed 
producer  of  medical  cannabis  based  in  the  Kingdom  of  Lesotho.  MediGrow  is  focused  on  medical  cannabis  oil 
production for export to federally legal medical cannabis markets globally.  

The Company purchased 278,000 common shares for $10,074 and incurred $88 of transaction costs that have been 
capitalized. The Company does not exercise significant influence or control. The investment has been classified as 
a FVOCI financial instrument. The Company revalued the investment on June 30, 2019 based on free cash flow 
model analysis and adjusted the carrying value to $10,283 resulting in an unrealized gain of $121 and a tax impact 
of $16 (June 30, 2018: $nil) which has been recognized in OCI.  

12.  Convertible Debentures 

Accounting Policy: 

Compound financial instruments issued by the Company are comprised of convertible debt that can be converted to 
share capital at the option of the holder. The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized 
initially at the fair value which is equal to the net present value of future cash flows applying an interest rate at the 
date of issue of a similar liability that does not have an equity convertible option. The equity component is recognized 
initially as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value 
of  the  liability  component.  Any  directly  attributable  transaction  costs  are  allocated  to  the  liability  and  equity 
components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. 

Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized 
cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured 
subsequent to initial recognition. Interest, dividends, losses and gains relating to the financial liability are recognized 
in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. 

Use of Estimates: 

Market rate of interest – The market rate of interest is estimated by assessing market conditions and other internal 
and external factors. The market rate of interest used to calculate the fair value of the debt component of October 
2018  Convertible  Debenture  is  18.31%.  The  market  rate  of  interest  used  to  calculate  the  fair  value  of  the  debt 
components of November 2017 and December 2016 Convertible Debentures is 19.9%. 

Explanatory Information: 

October 2018 Convertible Debenture: 

On October 19, 2018, the Company received gross proceeds of $100,000 from a bought deal offering issuance of 
6% coupon, unsecured debentures, which are convertible into common shares at a rate of $2.45 per share at any 
time  and  mature  on  October  19,  2021.  The  unsecured  debentures  are  subject  to  accelerated  expiry  in  some 
circumstances. The effective interest rate used to value the convertible debenture is 18.61%.  

The Company incurred expenses of $4,154 related to the bought deal offering and $321 of legal and other fees. 
These transaction costs have been allocated to the liability and equity components based on their pro-rata values. 
As at June 30, 2019, the principal amount outstanding of October 2018 Convertible Debentures was $100,000 (June 
30, 2018: $nil).

12.  Convertible Debentures (continued) 

Explanatory Information (continued): 

October 2018 Convertible Debenture (continued): 

The  October  2018  Convertible  Debenture  is  comprised  of  a  liability  component  and  a  conversion  feature. As  the 
debentures are convertible into common shares, the liability and equity components are presented separately. The 
initial carrying amount of the financial liability was determined by discounting the stream of future payments of interest 
and principal at a market interest rate of 18.31%. Using the residual method, the carrying amount of the conversion 
feature is the difference between the principal amount and the initial carrying value of the financial liability. The equity 
component is recorded in reserves on the consolidated statement of financial position. The debentures, net of the 
equity component and issue costs are accreted using the effective interest method over the term of the debentures, 
such that the carrying amount of the financial liability will equal the principal balance at maturity. 

November 2017 Convertible Debenture: 

On  November  14,  2017,  the  Company  received  gross  proceeds  of  $40,250  from  a  brokered  private  placement 
issuance of 8% coupon, unsecured debentures, which are convertible into common shares at a rate of $1.60 per 
share at any time and mature on November 14, 2019.  

Concurrently,  the  lenders  received  12,598,250  warrants  exercisable  at  $1.80  until  November  14,  2020.  Both  the 
unsecured  debentures  and  the  warrants  are  subject  to  accelerated  expiry  in  some  circumstances.  The  effective 
interest rate used to value the convertible debenture is 20.6%.  

The Company incurred expenses of $1,594 related to the private placement and $217 of legal and regulatory fees. 
These transaction costs have been allocated to the liability and equity components based on their pro-rata values. 

On  November  6,  2018  the  Company  exercised  its  accelerated  condition  included  in  the  indenture  relating  to  the 
November 2017 Convertible Debenture resulting in all the outstanding convertible debentures being exercised and 
converted to common shares of the Company. As at June 30, 2019 the principal amount outstanding of November 
2017 Convertible Debentures was $nil (June 30, 2018: $35,595).  

December 2016 Convertible Debenture: 

On  December  13,  2016,  the  Company  received  gross  proceeds  of  $55,000  from  a  brokered  private  placement 
issuance of 10% coupon, unsecured debentures, which are convertible into common shares at a conversion price of 
$1.30 per share at any time and mature December 31, 2019. Concurrently, the lenders received 42,350,000 warrants 
exercisable at $1.70 until December 13, 2019, subject to accelerated expiry in some circumstances. The effective 
interest rate used to value the convertible debenture is 20.6%. The proceeds were primarily used for the construction 
of the Company’s Facility, resulting in the capitalization of borrowing costs. 

The Company incurred cash finders’ fees of $1,807, share issue fees of $495 and issued 1,273,965 finders’ warrants 
valued at $858. These transaction costs have been allocated to the liability and equity components based on their 
pro-rata values.  

On  January  22,  2018,  the  Company  exercised  its  accelerated  condition  included  in  the  indenture  relating  to  the 
December 2016 Convertible Debenture resulting in all the outstanding convertible debentures being exercised and 
converted to common shares of the Company. As at June 30, 2019, the principal amount outstanding of December 
2016 Convertible Debentures was $nil (June 30, 2018: $nil).

13.  Share Based Compensation 

Accounting Policy: 

The Company has an employee stock option plan. The Company measures equity settled share-based payments 
based on their fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognizes compensation 
expense over the vesting period based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. 
Expected  forfeitures  are  estimated  at  the  date  of  grant  and  subsequently  adjusted  if  further  information  indicates 
actual forfeitures may vary from the original estimate. The impact of the revision of the original estimate is recognized 
in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate. 

Consideration paid by employees or non-employees on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital 
and the related share-based compensation is transferred from share-based reserve to share capital. 

During the fiscal year, the Board, shareholders and TSX approved the adoption of the restricted share unit plan. As 
at June 30, 2019 there have been no restricted share units issued.    

Use of Estimates: 

Significant  estimates  are  used  to  determine  the  fair  value  of  stock  options,  the  table  below  shows  the  range  of 
estimates and assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

Loss per share – The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares. Basic earnings 
per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the 
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined 
by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common 
shares outstanding, for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which comprise warrants and share options 
issued. Items with an anti-dilutive impact are excluded from the calculation.

16.  Income Taxes 

Accounting Policy: 

Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense. Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit 
or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.  

Current tax is recognized and measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or payable to the taxation 
authorities based on the income tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and 
includes any adjustment to taxes payable in respect of previous years. 

Deferred tax is recognized on any temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the 
consolidated  financial  statements  and  the  corresponding  tax  bases  used  in  the  computation  of  taxable  earnings. 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the 
asset is realized, and the liability is settled. The effect of a change in the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates is 
recognized in net earnings, comprehensive income or in equity depending on the item to which the adjustment relates. 

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent future recovery is probable. At each reporting period end, deferred 
tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable earnings will be available to 
allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. 

Use of Estimates: 

Provisions  for  taxes  are  made  using  the  best  estimate  of  the  amount  expected  to  be  paid  based  on  a  qualitative 
assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting 
period.  However,  it  is  possible  that  at  some  future  date  an  additional  liability  could  result  from  audits  by  taxing 
authorities.  Where  the  final  outcome  of  these  tax-related  matters  is  different  from  the  amounts  that  were  initially 
recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. 

Explanatory Information: 

The reconciliation of the combined Canadian federal and provincial statutory income tax rate of 26.5% (2018 – 26.5%) 
to the effective tax rate is as follows:

17.  Financial Risk Management and Financial Instruments 

Accounting Policy: 

Recognition and derecognition: 

The Company initially recognizes cash, bank advances, accounts receivable, debt securities, and accounts payable 
and  accrued  liabilities  on  the  date  they  originate.  All  other  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  initially 
recognized on the trade date when we become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or 
it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially 
all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets 
that is created or retained by the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability. The Company derecognizes 
a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. 

Classification and measurement: 

The Company measures financial instruments by grouping them into classes upon initial recognition, based on the 
purpose of the individual instruments. The Company initially measures all financial instruments at fair value plus, in 
the  case  of  financial  instruments  not  classified  as  FVTPL,  transaction  costs  that  are  directly  attributable  to  the 
acquisition or issuance of the financial instruments.

17.  Financial Risk Management and Financial Instruments (continued) 

Accounting Policy (continued): 

Classification and measurement (continued): 

The classifications and methods of measurement subsequent to initial recognition of the Company’s financial assets 
and financial liabilities are as follows: 

The Company classifies its financial assets as amortized cost, FVTPL or FVOCI. The Company classifies its financial 
liabilities as amortized cost. Cash is classified as FVTPL, accounts receivables as amortized cost, investments as 
FVTPL or FVOCI. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and convertible debt are classified as amortized cost.  

Impairment of financial assets: 

The Company consider the credit risk of a financial asset at initial recognition and at each reporting period thereafter 
until it is derecognized. Accounts receivable impairment is measured based on the lifetime expected credit losses.  

Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities:  

The  Company  offsets  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  and  presents  the  net  amount  on  the  consolidated 
statements of financial position when the Company has a legal right to offset them and intend to settle on a net basis 
or realize the asset and liability simultaneously.  

Use of Estimates: 

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of the levels in the fair value hierarchy according 
to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are: 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and 

Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data. 

Use of Judgments: 

The  Company  makes  judgements  related  to  the  classification  of  financial  instruments  and  whether  impairment 
indicators  exist  for  financial  instruments  not  carried  at  fair  value.  The  judgements  are  based  on  the  Company’s 
expected use of the financial instrument and internal and external factors with respect to impairment indicators. 

Explanatory Information: 

For the years ended June 30, 2019 the Company has recognized an unrealized loss from investments classified as 
FVTPL of $1,128 (June 30, 2018: unrealized gain of $2,096) due to the changes in fair value. The unrealized gain 
was determined using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The Company has also recognized an unrealized gain from its 
investments classified as FVOCI of $105, net of tax (June 30, 2018: $nil), that was determined using Level 3 inputs.  

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below: 

Credit risk: 

Credit  risk  is  the  risk  of  loss  associated  with  a  counterparty’s  inability  to  fulfill  its  payment  obligations.  Financial 
instruments  that  potentially  subject  the  Company  to  concentrations  of  credit  risks  consist  principally  of  cash  and 
receivables. To minimize the credit risk the Company places cash with a high credit quality financial institution in 
Canada, for receivables, the Company evaluates the credit worthiness of the counterparty before credit is granted. 
As at June 30, 2019 a total of $2,385 (June 30, 2018: $669) of trade accounts receivable were considered overdue.

17.  Financial Risk Management and Financial Instruments (continued) 

Explanatory Information (continued): 

Credit risk (continued): 

The Company has estimated the expected loss allowance using the lifetime credit loss approach to estimate the bad 
debt expense for the current period to be $103 (June 30, 2018: $nil). The Company’s aging of its trade accounts 
receivable is as follows:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The 
Company typically settles its financial obligations out of cash and occasionally will settle liabilities with the issuance 
of common shares. The ability to settle obligations with cash relies on the Company raising funds in a timely manner 
and by maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs. As at June 30, 2019, the Company had a cash 
balance of $54,822 (June 30, 2018: $55,896) and current liabilities of $31,947 (June 30, 2018: $22,917).  

The Company’s current resources are sufficient to settle its current liabilities. All the Company’s liabilities are due 
within one year, other than convertible debt and KKE royalty payments. 

Interest rate risk: 

The Company is not subject to interest rate risk on future cash flows, as all its instruments bear fixed rates of interest.  

Capital management: 

Capital is comprised of the Company’s shareholders’ equity and any debt it may issue, other than trade payables in 
the normal course of operations. As at June 30, 2019, the Company’s shareholders’ equity was $210,972 (June 30, 
2018: $145,145) and liabilities other than trade payable and accruals were $93,200 (June 30, 2018: $31,722).  

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its accumulated capital in order to provide adequate 
return to shareholders by maintaining a sufficient level of funds in order to support its ongoing activities. The Board 
of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise 
of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.  

Management  reviews  its  capital  management  approach  on  an  ongoing  basis  and  believes  that  this  approach  is 
reasonable. 

The Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. The Company will spend its existing working 
capital  on  operations,  development  of  the  Facility  and  raise  additional  amounts  as  needed.  The  Company  is  not 
subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. There have been no changes in the Company’s approach to 
capital management during the year ended June 30, 2019.
