Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022

(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of Canadian Dollars, except share amounts or where otherwise stated)

1. Description of Business

HEXO Corp. (“HEXO” or the “Company”), is a publicly traded corporation, incorporated in Ontario, Canada. HEXO is licensed to produce and sell cannabis and cannabis products under the Cannabis Act. The head office is located at 120 Chemin de la Rive, Gatineau, Canada. The Company’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (“Nasdaq”), both under the trading symbol “HEXO”.

2. Going Concern

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to continue its operations and will be able to realize its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due in the foreseeable future.

During the three and six months ended January 31, 2023, the Company reported operating losses of $29,747 and $70,267, respectively; cash outflows from operating activities of $23,430 in the six months ended January 31, 2023 (positive operating cashflows of $5,360 generated in three months ended January 31, 2023) and an accumulated deficit of $1,897,119 and has yet to generate positive cashflows or earnings. The Company had a working capital deficiency of $110,928 and held cash and cash equivalents of $34,233 as at January 31, 2023 ($83,238 at July 31, 2022).

The Company’s 8% convertible debentures matured on December 5, 2022, which resulted in a cash repayment of $40,729. The Company remains subject to, amongst other covenants, a minimum liquidity covenant of US$20 million under the Senior secured convertible note as well as a requirement to achieve Adjusted EBITDA of not less than US$1.00 for each quarter beginning in the three months ended April 30, 2023.

These circumstances lend substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due and, accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. In recognition of these circumstances, the Company has taken the following actions:

• Management will continue to evaluate potential private and public financing opportunities through the issuance of equity. Notably, the Company’s at-the-market program as initiated in May 2022, remains available to the Company (following certain legal and administrative filings) and authorizes the Company to issued equity up to US$40 million from treasury to the public, although the Company’s ability to access this entire amount may be affected by market conditions and the performance of the Company’s share price. Management may utilize this program to bridge cashflows during certain periods of volatility in order to manage its working capital obligations and remain compliant with the minimum liquidity covenant.

• The Company has entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “equity line of credit” or “ELOC”) with an affiliate of KAOS Capital Ltd (“KAOS”), which could provide the Company access to $5 million capital per month over the ELOC’s remaining 29-month term. However, the Company has yet to file a prospectus supplement qualifying the distribution and resale by the subscriber of the Put Shares and thus has not drawn upon the ELOC, and considering the Company’s current financial situation, there are significant doubts as to the Company’s ability to file such a prospectus and access financing under the ELOC.

• The Company executed certain cost saving initiatives in the second half of the previous fiscal year in order to decrease the operating expenses and improve the cashflows of the business. The impact of these initiatives require time to be fully realized. During the current period, management has demonstrated improvements to the Company’s operating expenses and operating cashflows and management continues to execute additional cost saving initiatives such as the restructuring of the Company’s packaging and manufacturing departments.

• The Company has commenced discussions with its lender regarding potential amendments to and/or covenant relief under the Senior Secured Convertible Note. No agreement has been reached to date and there can be no assurance that such agreement will be reached.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability in the future to achieve profitable operations and, in the meantime, to obtain favourable waivers and/or amendments from its lender under the Senior Secured Convertible Note and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations, comply with its financial covenants, and to repay its liabilities when they become due.

There can be no assurances however that financing alternatives will be available or available on terms that are acceptable to the Company, that the Company will be able obtain favourable waivers and/or covenant relief from its lender under the Senior Secured Convertible Note or that the Company’s savings initiatives alone will yield sufficient liquidity to meet the minimum liquidity or generate positive Adjusted EBITDA, in order for the Company to meet its covenant requirements and execute on its business plan. Should these

7

efforts prove unsuccessful, there is uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to remain in compliance with the covenants of the Senior Secured Convertible Note over the next 12-month period. As such, these circumstances create material uncertainties that lend substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due and, accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

3. Basis of Preparation

Statement of Compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“interim consolidated financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), using accounting policies consistent with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended July 31, 2022, prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with those described in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2022.

These interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 16, 2023.

All figures are presented in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

Basis of Consolidation

The interim consolidated financial statements include the financial results of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries include entities which are wholly-owned as well as entities over which the Company has the authority or ability to exert power over the investee’s financial and/or operating decisions (i.e. control), which in turn may affect the Company’s exposure or rights to the variable returns from the investee. These interim consolidated financial statements include the operating results of acquired or disposed entities from the date control is obtained or the date control is lost, respectively. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Share Consolidation

The Company finalized a share consolidation on the basis of fourteen (14) pre-consolidation common shares for one post-consolidation common share (14:1) effective December 19, 2022 (Note 15(c)). All balances of common shares, common share purchase warrants, stock options, restricted share units and deferred share units herein are reflective of the share consolidation (unless otherwise noted).

4. New Accounting Policies and Pronouncements

New and Amended Standards Not Yet Effective

The following IFRS amendments have been recently issued by the IASB. Pronouncements that are irrelevant or not expected to have a significant impact have been excluded.

Amendments to IAS 12: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

The amendment narrowed the scope of certain recognition exemptions so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. An entity applies the amendments to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. It also, at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, recognizes deferred tax for all temporary differences related to leases and decommissioning obligations and recognizes the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at that date. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of these amendments on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(ii) The fair value component (biological asset fair value adjustments) of inventory sold on the consolidated statement of net loss was $5,194 and $25,160 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2023, (January 31, 2022 – $15,945 and $29,526).

Total depreciation capitalized in inventory during the six months ended January 31, 2023, was $9,463 (January 31, 2022 – $12,003).

7. Biological Assets

The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants throughout the growth cycle, from mother plants to plants in propagation, vegetative and flowering stages. The changes in the carrying value of biological assets for the period are as follows:

	For the six months ended January 31, 2023			For the year ended July 31, 2022
	$			$
Balance, beginning of period		15,906			14,284
Acquired on business combination		—			8,352
Production costs capitalized		16,277			62,489
Net increase in fair value due to biological transformation and estimates		3,797			59,665
Harvested cannabis transferred to inventory		(28,945	)		(119,432	)
Disposal of biological assets		—			(3,086	)
Derecognized on loss of control of subsidiary		—			(6,366	)
Balance, end of period		7,035			15,906

Biological assets are valued in accordance with IAS 41 - Agriculture, based on an income approach (Level 3) in which the fair value at the point of harvest is estimated based on selling price less costs to sell at harvest. For in-process biological assets (growing plants), the fair value at the point of harvest is adjusted based on the stage of growth at period-end. Harvested cannabis is transferred from biological assets to inventory at their fair value at harvest. During the six months ended January 31, 2023, the Company did not dispose of any biological assets (January 31, 2022 – $3,086).

9

The inputs and assumptions used in determining the fair value of cannabis plants are as follows:

• Yield per plant;

• Stage of growth percentage, estimated as age of plant from date of harvest as a percentage of total days in an average growing cycle, as applied to the estimated total fair value per gram (less fulfilment costs) to arrive at an in-process fair value for estimated biological assets to be harvested;

• Average selling price per gram;

• Post-harvest cost (cost to complete and cost to sell) per gram; and

• Destruction/wastage of plants during the harvesting and processing process.

The table below summarizes the significant inputs and assumptions used in the fair value model, their weighted average price of value and sensitivity analysis:

On December 5, 2019, the Company closed a $70,000 private placement of convertible debentures. The Company issued a total of $70,000 principal amount of 8.0% unsecured convertible debentures maturing on December 5, 2022 (the “Debentures”). The Debentures were convertible at the option of the holder at any time after December 7, 2020 and prior to maturity at a conversion price of $176.96 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment in certain events. The Company had the right to force the conversion of all of the outstanding Debentures at the Conversion Price at any time after December 7, 2020 and prior to maturity on 30 days’ notice if the daily volume weighted average trading price of the common shares of the Company is greater than $420.00 for any 15 consecutive trading days.    

Upon maturity, the holders of the Debentures had the right to require the Company to repay any principal amount of their Debentures through the issuance of common shares of the Company in satisfaction of such amounts at a price equal to the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the payment date.    

In May 2020, the Company provided notice to all holders of the Debentures of an option to voluntarily convert their Debentures into units of the Company (the “Conversion Units”) at a discounted early conversion price of $44.80 (the “Early Conversion Price”) calculated based on the 5-day volume weighted average HEXO Corp. share price (the “VWAP”) preceding the announcement. The VWAP utilized data from both the TSX and NYSE. Each Conversion Unit provided the holder one common share and one-half common share purchase warrant (with an exercise price of $56.00 and term of three years). The early conversion occurred in two phases, the first being on June 10, 2020 followed by the second and final phase on June 30, 2020. During phases one and two, $23,595 principal amount and $6,265 principal amount of the Debentures were converted under the Early Conversion Price.

12

On December 5, 2022, the 8% debentures matured, and the Company settled the outstanding balance in cash, through a payment of $40,140 plus the remaining accrued interest of $589.

On July 12, 2022, the Company amended and restated the senior secured convertible note, which was immediately thereafter assigned to Tilray Brands, Inc., pursuant to the terms of an amended and restated assignment and assumption agreement dated June 14, 2022 (the “Note”, or the “Senior Secured Convertible Note”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, Tilray Brands acquired 100% of the remaining outstanding principal balance of US$173.7 million of the Note and, concurrently, HEXO assumed an obligation to pay a US$1.5 million monthly fee, that represents a finance cost, until the earlier of i) the date all obligations of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Note have been satisfied, extinguished or terminated, ii) the conversion in full of the Note, iii) cancellation by Tilray or iv) January 15, 2027.

The Note which unless early converted, matures on May 1, 2026, includes coupon interest at the fixed rate of five percent (5%) per annum, calculated daily, and is payable by the Company to the Holder semi-annually on the last business day of each June and December (commencing June, 2022). For the first year of the Note, the Company is required to pay interest in cash. On December 29, 2022, the Company made its first scheduled interest payment of $5,596 (US$4,125). Accrued and unpaid interest at January 31, 2023 was $941 (July 31, 2022—$464). Thereafter, until the maturity date, in the event that the Company is not in compliance with the Minimum Liquidity covenant, the Company shall be entitled to elect to add the amount of the interest to the Principal Amount of the Note as capitalized interest. Subject to the terms of the Note, unless the principal amount and the capitalized interest have previously been converted, on the maturity date, the Company shall pay the capitalized interest by way of conversion consideration.

Subject to certain limitations and adjustments, the Note is convertible in part, into HEXO Common Shares at the Holder’s option at any time prior to the second scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date, at a US$ equivalent conversion price of CAD$5.60 per HEXO Common share as determined the day before exercise, including all capitalized interest. HEXO has the ability to force the conversion if the daily VWAP per common share is equal to or exceeds CAD$42.00 per share for twenty consecutive trading days, subject to HEXO meeting the terms of the equity condition, as set out in the terms of the Note.

The Company is not able to redeem or repay the Note prior to May 1, 2026, without the prior written consent of the Holder.

The Company is subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants as set out in the terms of the Note. Among other covenants, the Company is subject to a minimum liquidity covenant and is required to maintain an unrestricted cash amount equal to or greater than US$20.0 million. In addition, as of the last day of each three-month period starting with the three-month period ending April 30, 2023, the Company is required to have Adjusted EBITDA of not less than US$1.00 for the three-month period ending on such day. Adjusted EBITDA means for any fiscal quarter, the Adjusted EBITDA of the Company, calculated as: (i) total net income (loss); (ii) plus (minus) income taxes (recovery); (iii) plus (minus) finance expense (income); (iv) plus depreciation; (v) plus amortization; (vi) plus (minus) investment (gains) losses, including revaluation of financial instruments, share of loss from investment in joint ventures, adjustments on warrants and other financial derivatives, unrealized loss on investments, and foreign exchange gains and losses; (vii) plus (minus) fair value adjustments on inventory and biological assets; (viii) plus inventory write-downs and provisions; (ix) plus (minus) non-recurring transaction and restructuring costs; (x) plus impairments to any and all long-lived assets; (xi) plus all stock-based compensation; and (xii) plus any management or advisory fee paid by the Company to the Holder or any Affiliate thereof during the applicable quarter.

On the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Note becomes due and payable immediately at the Event of Default Acceleration Amount, as defined under the Senior secured convertible note agreement. The Note constitutes the senior secured obligation of the Company.

Fair Value Measurement

The Senior secured convertible note represents a hybrid instrument containing a conversion feature and multiple embedded derivatives. The Note has been designated in its entirety as FVTPL, as at least one of the derivatives does significantly modify the cash flows of the Note and it is clear with limited analysis that separation is not prohibited. The changes in fair value of the instrument are recorded in the consolidated statement of net loss with changes in fair value attributable to changes in credit risk being recognized through other comprehensive income.

13

The fair value of the Note is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and was determined using the partial differential equation method with the following inputs:    

	As at January 31, 2023			As at July 31, 2022			Initial recognition July 12, 2022
Share price	US$	1.60		US$	2.66		US$	2.80
Dividend	$	nil		$	nil		$	nil
Volatility		93	%		87.8	%		80.7	%
Credit spread		32.36	%		34.2	%		38.6	%
Conversion price	US$	4.13		US$	4.34		US$	4.20- US$4.34

Risk free rates were selected based upon a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) curve at the valuation date. The curve’s period range was 3 months to 4 years.

An increase/decrease in the US$/CA$ foreign exchange rate of 1% would result in a foreign exchange loss/gain adjustment of $1,896 (July 31, 2022 – $2,104). A decrease of credit spread by 1% would increase the fair value of the instrument by $3,309 (July 31, 2022 – $2,487).

(c) Share Consolidation

On January 25, 2022, the Company was notified of being non-compliant with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5500(a)(2) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, since the closing bid price for the Company’s common shares listed on Nasdaq was below US$1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days. The Company received a 180 day extension to regain compliance status on July 26, 2022. Shareholder approval of a consolidation of the Common Shares on the basis of a range between two (2) and fourteen (14) existing pre-consolidation common shares for every one (1) post-consolidation common share was obtained at the annual and special meeting of the shareholders of the Company held on March 8, 2022. The Company filed articles of amendment to implement the consolidation on the basis of fourteen (14) existing pre-consolidation Common Shares for every one (1)

post-Consolidation Common Share (the “Consolidation”). The common shares began trading on a post-Consolidation basis on the TSX and Nasdaq on December 19, 2022, remaining listed under the symbol “HEXO”. As a result of the Consolidation, the 600,988,447 shares issued and outstanding prior to the Consolidation became 42,927,745 common shares. Fractional interests of 0.5 or greater were rounded up to the nearest whole number of Common Shares and fractional interests of less than 0.5 were rounded down to the nearest whole number of Common Shares. On Consolidation, the exercise or conversion price and the number of Common Shares issuable under any of the Company’s outstanding warrants, senior secured convertible note, stock options and other share-based securities exercisable for or convertible into common shares were proportionately adjusted to reflect the Consolidation in accordance with the respective terms thereof.

17. Share-based Compensation

Omnibus Plan

The Company has a share option plan (the “Former Plan”), adopted in July 2017, that was administered by the Board of Directors who established exercise prices and expiry dates. Expiry dates are up to 10 years from issuance, as determined by the Board of Directors at the time of issuance. On June 28, 2018, the Board of Directors put forth a new share option plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) which was approved by shareholders on August 28, 2019. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, options issued under both the Former Plan and Omnibus Plan vest over a three-year period. The maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance for options that may be granted under the Omnibus Plan is 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares or 4,338,304 common shares as at January 31, 2023 (July 31, 2022 – 4,292,775). The Omnibus plan is subject to cash and equity settlement, the Former Plan and plans acquired on business combinations are eligible for equity settlements. Options issued prior to July 2018 under the outgoing plan and the options assumed through business acquisitions do not contribute to the available option pool reserved for issuance. As of January 31, 2023, the Company had 1,629,514 issued and outstanding under the Omnibus Plan, 50,077 issued and outstanding under the Former Plan and 36,565 issued and outstanding under the assumed plans from business combinations.

Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”)    

Under the Omnibus Plan, the Board of Directors is authorized to issue RSUs up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares, inclusive of the outstanding stock options. At the time of issuance, the Board of Directors establishes conversion values and expiry dates, which are up to 10 years from the date of issuance. The restriction criteria of the units are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and from time to time may be inclusive of Company based performance restrictions, employee-based performance restrictions or no restrictions to the units.

The following table summarizes RSU activity for the six months ended January 31, 2023 and the year ended July 31, 2022.

Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”)

Under the Omnibus Plan, the Board of Directors is authorized to issue DSUs (in conjunction with all share-based compensation) up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares, net of the outstanding share-based awards. At the time of issuance, the Board of Directors establishes conversion values and expiry dates, which are up to 10 years from the date of issuance. The deferral criteria of the units are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and from time to time may be inclusive of Company based performance restrictions, employee-based performance restrictions or no restrictions to the units.

The following table summarizes DSU activity for six months ended January 31, 2023 and the year ended July 31, 2022.

	January 31, 2023				July 31, 2022
	Units		Value of units		Units		Value of units

Closing balance		350,826		2.11		292,030		3.36

All DSUs have been issued to directors of the Company and fully vest upon the termination of their tenure as directors. As at January 31, 2023, there were no vested DSUs.

Share-based Compensation

Share-based compensation is measured at fair value at the date of grant and are expensed over the vesting period. In determining the amount of share-based compensation, the Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to establish the fair value of stock options and RSUs granted at the grant date by applying the following assumptions:

For the six months ended	January 31, 2023			January 31, 2022
Exercise price (weighted average)	$	34.62		$	107.80
Share price (weighted average)	$	33.23		$	105.84
Risk-free interest rate (weighted average)		2.00	%		0.87	%
Expected life (years) of options (weighted average)		5			5
Expected annualized volatility (weighted average)		95	%		93	%

Volatility was estimated using the average historical volatility of the Company and comparable companies in the industry that have trading history and volatility history.

19. Financial Instruments

Market Risk

Interest Risk

The Company has minimal exposure to interest rate risk related to the investment of cash and cash equivalents, restricted funds and short-term investments. The Company may, from time to time, invest cash in highly liquid investments with short terms to maturity that would accumulate interest at prevailing rates for such investments. As at January 31, 2023, the Company has $231,889 (US$173,700) of outstanding principal on the senior secured convertible note (Note 13) bearing interest of 5% per annum, paid semi-annually. The senior secured convertible note bears a fixed interest rate and therefore is not subject to interest risk.

Price Risk

Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices.

Financial liabilities

The sensitivity of the Senior secured convertible note due to price risk is disclosed in Note 13.

If the fair value of these financial assets and liabilities were to increase or decrease by 10% the Company would incur a related net increase or decrease to Comprehensive loss of an estimated $18,960 (July 31, 2022 – $22,335). The following table presents the Company’s price risk exposure as at January 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022.

	January 31, 2023			July 31, 2022
	$			$
Financial assets		504			504
Financial liabilities		(190,101	)		(211,096	)
Total exposure		(189,597	)		(210,592	)

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s trade receivables. As at January 31, 2023, the Company was exposed to credit related losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties.

The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk. Since the majority of the medical sales are transacted with clients that are covered under various insurance programs, and adult use sales are transacted with crown corporations, the Company has limited credit risk.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted funds are held with three Canadian commercial banks that hold Dun & Bradstreet credit ratings of AA (July 31, 2022 – AA).

Certain restricted funds in the amount of $29,994 were managed by an insurer and were held as a cell captive within a Bermuda based private institution which does not have a publicly available credit rating; however, they utilized custodian is Citibank which holds a credit rating of A+. During the six months ended January 31, 2023, management entered into a new directors and officers insurance program which released the cell captive restricted funds of $29,994.

The majority of the trade receivables balance is held with crown corporations of Quebec, Ontario and Alberta. Creditworthiness of a counterparty is evaluated prior to the granting of credit. The Company has estimated the expected credit loss using a lifetime credit loss approach. The current expected credit loss on January 31, 2023 is $444 (July 31, 2022 – $1,927).

In measuring the expected credit losses, the adult-use cannabis trade receivables have been assessed on a per customer basis. Medical trade receivables have been assessed collectively as they have similar credit risk characteristics. They have been grouped based on the days past due.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and trade receivables represents the maximum exposure to credit risk and as at January 31, 2023 and amounted to $60,425 (July 31, 2022 – $158,461).

The following table summarizes the Company’s aging of trade receivables on January 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022:

	January 31, 2023		July 31, 2022
	$		$
0–30 days		12,230		24,661
31–60 days		911		11,808
61–90 days		2,661		2,177
Over 90 days		8,137		4,353
Total		23,939		42,999

18

Economic Dependence Risk

Economic dependence risk is the risk of reliance upon a select number of customers, which significantly impacts the financial performance of the Company. For the six months ended January 31, 2023, the Company’s recorded sales to the crown corporations; the Ontario Cannabis Store (“OCS”), Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis agency (“AGLC”), British Columbian Liquor Distribution Branch, and le Société québécoise du cannabis (“SQDC”), representing 45%, 22%, 14% and 19%, respectively (January 31, 2022 – SQDC, OCS and AGLC representing 29%, 19% and 14%, respectively) of total applicable periods net cannabis sales.

The Company holds trade receivables from the crown corporations OCS and SQDC representing 25% and 13% of total trade receivables, respectively as at January 31, 2023 (July 31, 2022 – the two crown corporations OCS and AGLC representing 42% and 23% of total trade receivables, respectively).

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due (See Note 2 – Going Concern). The Company manages liquidity risk by reviewing on an ongoing basis, its working capital requirements. On January 31, 2022, the Company has $34,233 (July 31, 2022 – $83,238) of cash and cash equivalents and $23,939 (July 31, 2022 – $42,999) in trade receivables.

The Company has current liabilities of $242,995 (July 31, 2022 – $335,076) on the statement of financial position. As well, the Company has remaining contractual commitments of $17,198 due before July 31, 2023. Current financial liabilities include the Company’s obligation on the senior secured convertible note. The senior secured convertible note is classified as current due to the noteholders ability to convert the note into equity at any time during the life of the note, and therefore does not reflect a cash based current liability as at January 31, 2023.

The following table provides an analysis of undiscounted contractual maturities for financial liabilities.

Fiscal year	2023 (six-months remaining)		2024		2025		2026		2027		Thereafter		Total

¹ Undiscounted and inclusive of scheduled interest and advisory fee payments.

Foreign Currency Risk

On January 31, 2023, the Company holds certain financial assets and liabilities denominated in United States Dollars which consist of certain amounts of cash and cash equivalents, the senior secured convertible note and warrant liabilities. The Company does not currently use foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure of its foreign currency cash flows as management has determined that this risk is not significant. The Company closely monitors relevant economic information to minimize its net exposure to foreign currency risk. The Company is exposed to unrealized foreign exchange risk through its cash and cash equivalents. On January 31, 2023, $9,572 (US$7,170) (July 31, 2022 – 104,215 (US$81,266)) of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents was in US$. A 1% change in the foreign exchange rate would not result in a material change to the unrealized gain or loss on foreign exchange.

The Company’s senior secured convertible note is denominated in US$. The sensitivity of the senior secured convertible note due to foreign currency risk is disclosed in Note 13.

Related Parties and Transactions

Truss LP

The Company owns a 42.5% interest in Truss LP and accounts for the interest as an investment in an associate (Note 8).

Under a Temporary Supply and Services Agreement (“TSSA”) with Truss LP, the Company produced, and packaged cannabis infused beverages in the Cannabis Infused Beverage (“CIB”) Facility. On October 1, 2021, Truss LP received a cannabis manufacturing and processing license under the Cannabis Act (Canada) and commenced manufacturing by producing CIBs within the Belleville facility. Under a second arrangement and until Truss LP operationalized its cannabis selling license on November 1, 2022, the Company purchased the manufactured goods from Truss LP and sold the beverages through to third parties, as a principal under the arrangement. Truss LP received its license for the selling of cannabis on May 2, 2022, however, Truss LP was unable to operationalize the license to be utilized until November 1, 2022. The Company acted as the principal in the arrangement during the three months ended October 31, 2022 and ceased doing so on November 1, 2022 at which point the Company no longer recognizes the sale of CIBs in the condensed interim consolidated statements of net loss.

20

CONTINGENCIES

The Company may be, from time to time, subject to various administrative and other legal proceedings. Contingent liabilities associated with legal proceedings are recorded when a liability is probable, and the contingent liability can be reasonably estimated. While the following matters are ongoing, the Company disputes the allegations and intends to continue to vigorously defend against the claims.

On of January 23, 2023, the Superior Court of Quebec dismissed the class action lawsuit against the Company and its former Chief Executive Officer, filed November 19, 2019. The lawsuit had asserted causes of action for misrepresentations under the Québec Securities Act and the Civil Code of Québec in connection with certain statements contained in HEXO’s prospectus, public documents and public oral statements between April 11, 2018 and March 27, 2020. The allegations relate to: (1) statements made by the Company regarding its agreement with the Province of Québec to supply cannabis; (2) statements made by the Company regarding its acquisition of Newstrike, particularly the licensing of the Newstrike facilities and the forecasted synergies and/savings from the Newstrike acquisition; (3) statements made by the Company about the net revenues in Q4 2019 and fiscal year 2020; and (4) HEXO’s management of its inventories. The plaintiffs sought to represent a class comprised of Québec residents who acquired the Company’s securities either in an Offering (primary market) or on the secondary market during such period and sought compensatory damages for all monetary losses and costs. The amount claimed for damages has not been quantified and no accrual has been made as at January 31, 2023 (July 31, 2022—$nil). The Plaintiff has until March 20, 2023 to file an appeal.

21

As of January 31, 2023, the Company is named as a defendant in a proposed consumer protection class action filed on June 16, 2020, in the Court of Queens’ Bench in Alberta on behalf of residents of Canada who purchased cannabis products over specified periods of time. Several other licensed producers are also named as co-defendants in the action. The lawsuit asserts causes of action, including for breach of contract and breach of consumer protection legislation, arising out of allegations that the Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or Cannabidiol (CBD) content of medicinal and recreational cannabis products sold by the Company and the other defendants to consumers was different from what was advertised on the products’ labels. Many of the cannabis products sold by the Company and other defendants were allegedly sold to consumers in containers using plastic bottles or caps that may have rapidly absorbed or degraded the THC or CBD content within them. By allegedly over-representing the true amount of THC or CBD in the products, the plaintiff claims that consumers would be required to consume substantially more product than they otherwise would have in order to obtain the desired effects or, in the alternative, would have consumed the product without obtaining the desired effects. The action has not yet been certified as a class action.

During the year ended July 31, 2020, the Company recognized an onerous contract provision of $4,762 related to a fixed price supply agreement for the supply of cannabis. During the six months ended January 31, 2023, the onerous provision was adjusted to the court judgement amount of $1,846. On January 31, 2023, the total outstanding judgement liability was $10,454 (presented in other liabilities). Management has initiated an appeal against the court’s decision and is simultaneously pursuing a settlement with the counterparty.

Subsequent to the period, on February 24, 2023 the Company received a notice of arbitration from a capital markets consulting group claiming the Company failed to pay a completion fee in connection to an advisory arrangement. The claimant is seeking $11,904 for breach of contract. The Company believes the action to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend the claim. No provision has been recognized as of January 31, 2023.

26. Revenue from Sale of Goods

The Company disaggregates its revenues from the sale of goods between sales of cannabis beverages (“Cannabis beverage sales”) and dried flower and other cannabis derivative products (“Cannabis sales excluding beverages”). The Company’s cannabis beverage sales were derived from the CIB division, which was established in order to manufacture, produce and sell cannabis beverage products. The CIB division operated under the Company’s cannabis manufacturing licensing, in compliance with Health Canada and the Cannabis Act’s regulations until Truss LP received its cannabis manufacturing license on October 1, 2021, and its selling license on May 2, 2022. Up until November 1, 2022 the Company acted as a principal in the sale of CIBs to customers and presented the revenue from the sale of CIB’s on a gross basis. On November 1, 2022, Truss LP has operationalized its cannabis selling license and the Company has ceased the recognition of CIB sales (see Note 22).
