INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of
Canopy Growth Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Canopy Growth Corporation, which comprise the amended and restated consolidated statements of financial position as at March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, and the amended and restated consolidated statements of operations, amended and restated consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss), amended and restated consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and amended and restated consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Canopy Growth Corporation as at March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Amended and Restated Consolidated Financial Statements
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, which explains that the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017 have been restated from those on which we originally reported on June 26, 2017.

The consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2017 include Canopy Growth Corporation and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Company”) and the Company’s interest in affiliated companies. The Company’s major subsidiaries include Tweed Inc. (“Tweed”), Tweed Farms Inc. (“Tweed Farms”), Bedrocan Canada Inc. (“Bedrocan”), and Mettrum Health Corp. (“Mettrum”, which includes wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mettrum Ltd. and Agripharm Corp.), which are all licensed producers of medical cannabis in Canada. The principal activities of Tweed, Bedrocan, and Mettrum are the production and sale of medical cannabis and the principal activity of Tweed Farms is the growing, possession and shipping of medical cannabis as regulated by the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”).
On November 1, 2016, the Company acquired Vert Médical Inc. – Green Medical Inc. (“Vert”) which included all of the issued and outstanding securities of Vert. Vert became a subsidiary of the Company upon the closing of the transaction. Additional information on the transaction is disclosed in Note 9 c.
On November 1, 2016, the Company acquired control of Groupe H.E.M.P.CA Inc. (“Hemp.CA”) which included 75% of the issued and outstanding securities of Hemp.CA. Hemp.CA became a subsidiary of the Company upon the closing of the transaction. Additional information on the transaction is disclosed in Note 9 d.

2. | RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY REPORTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Subsequent to the issuance of the previously reported financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017 (filed on SEDAR on June 27, 2017) management determined that the fair value of the equity interest and options it held in AusCann Group Holdings Ltd. was understated by $18,328 and $5,702 respectively at March 31, 2017.
On May 20, 2016, the Company had entered into a strategic agreement with AusCann Group Holdings Ltd. (“AusCann”), a company involved in Australia’s emerging medical cannabis industry. Under this agreement the Company obtained shares representing 15% of the issued shares AusCann and options, in exchange for its consultation in a number of areas including production, quality assurance, and strategic advisory services. The Company has classified its equity interest as an available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial asset. The options represent a derivative financial instrument that is initially recognised at fair value and subsequently remeasured to its fair value at the end of each reporting period. Prior to February 3, 2017 the AusCann shares did not have a quoted market price and the fair value of the Company’s equity interest and options in AusCann could not be reliably measured and the equity interest and options were carried at their cost amount of nil.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016
(Expressed in CDN $000’s except share amounts)
2. | RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY REPORTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) |
In the quarter ended March 31, 2017 AusCann completed a capital reorganization and became listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. Following the initial public offering the Company held 23,032,917 ordinary shares (which represented 10.65% of the issued capital), 4,432,083 performance shares and 7,677,639 options which were all placed in escrow until February 3, 2019. The performance shares are convertible into ordinary shares when AusCann receives a license to cultivate medical cannabis. The options were exercisable at AUD $0.20 and expire January 19, 2020. At March 31, 2017, the fair value of the equity interest (comprising the ordinary shares and performance shares) in AusCann was $18,328 and the fair value of the options was $5,702 (fair value is determined in the manner described in note 19). In the previously issued financial statements these assets had been recorded at nil such that they were understated by $18,328 and $5,702 respectively with a corresponding $18,328 understatement of fair value changes on AFS investments in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) and $5,702 understatement of fair value changes on financial assets in the statement of operations. These financial statements have been restated and refiled to correct this error and the related tax effect. There was no impact on the comparative figures.
Along with restating its financial statements to correct the error discussed above the Company recorded an adjustment to correct a previously disclosed immaterial error in the valuation of biological assets in the previously issued financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017. Specifically, the reported biological assets were understated by $1,082 and the deferred tax liability was understated by $126 and the unrealized gain on changes in fair value of biological assets was understated by $1,082 and the income tax recovery was overstated by $126.
The following tables summarize the effects of the adjustments described above.

(a) Foreign currency translation
All figures presented in the consolidated financial statements and tabular disclosures to the consolidated financial statements are reflected in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates in effect on the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the statement of financial position date are translated to Canadian dollars at the foreign exchange rate applicable at that date. Realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses are recognized through profit or loss.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition, are translated in Canadian dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expenses, and cash flows of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars using average exchange rates. Exchange differences resulting from translating foreign operations are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.
(b) Biological assets
The Company measures biological assets consisting of medical cannabis plants at fair value less cost to sell up to the point of harvest, which becomes the basis for the cost of finished goods inventories after harvest. Seeds are measured at fair market value. Unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in fair value less cost to sell during the year are included in the results of operations of the related year.
(c) Inventory
Inventories of harvested finished goods and packing materials are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventories of harvested cannabis are transferred from biological assets at their fair value at harvest, which becomes the initial deemed cost. Any subsequent post-harvest costs are capitalized to inventory to the extent that cost is less than net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Cost is determined using the average cost basis. Products for resale and supplies and consumables are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

(Expressed in CDN $000’s except share amounts)
4. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
(d) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the following terms:
| | | | | | | | |
Computer equipment | | | 2-3 | | | | years | |
Office/lab equipment | | | 3-5 | | | | years | |
Furniture and fixtures | | | 3-10 | | | | years | |
Production equipment | | | 5-20 | | | | years | |
Leasehold improvements | | | 3-20 | | | | years | |
Building and improvements | | | 20-40 | | | | years | |
Greenhouse and improvements | | | 20-25 | | | | years | |
An asset’s residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed during each financial year and adjusted if appropriate. When parts of an item of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Gains and losses on disposal of an item are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the item and recognized in profit or loss.
Assets under capital lease are amortized according to their asset category.
Assets in process are transferred to when available for use and depreciation of the assets commences at that point.
(e) Finite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets
Finite-lived intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the following terms:
| | | | |
Domain name | | | 5 years | |
Health Canada licenses | | | Useful life of facility or lease term | |
Distribution channel | | | 5 years | |
Import license | | | 4 years | |
Software | | | 3 years | |
The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are comprised of acquired product rights and brand name which are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
(f) Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at each statement of financial position date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the cash-generating unit, or “CGU”). The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU 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 profit or 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.
(g) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the price paid for the acquisition of an entity over the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired. Goodwill is allocated to the CGU or CGUs to which it relates. The Company has determined that the goodwill associated with all acquisitions belong to the medical marijuana segment. Currently, the Company has one reportable segment.

(Expressed in CDN $000’s except share amounts)
4. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
(g) Goodwill (continued)
Goodwill is measured at historical cost and is evaluated for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing if the carrying value of a CGU, including the allocated goodwill, exceeds its recoverable amount determined as the greater of the estimated fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. Impairment losses recognized in respect of a CGU are first allocated to the carrying value of goodwill and any excess is allocated to the carrying amount of assets in the CGU. Any goodwill impairment is recorded in income in the period in which the impairment is identified. Impairment losses on goodwill are not subsequently reversed.
(h) Investment in associates
The Company has interests in associates. Associates are entities over which the Company exercises significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but without control or joint control over those policies. The Company accounts for associates using the equity method of accounting. Interests in associates accounted for using the equity method are initially recognized at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, the carrying value of the Company’s interest in an associate is adjusted for the Company’s share of comprehensive income and distributions of the investee. The carrying value of associates is assessed for impairment at each balance sheet date.
(i) Leased assets
The Company leases some items of property, plant and equipment. A lease of property, plant and equipment is classified as a capital lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Company. A lease of property, plant and equipment is classified as an operating lease whenever the terms of the lease do not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. Lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed.
(j) Assets held for sale
Assets and liabilities held for disposal are no longer depreciated and are presented separately in the statement of financial position at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. An asset is regarded as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction, rather than through continuing use. For this to be the case, the asset must be available for immediate sale and its sale must be highly probable.
(k) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions have been satisfied:
| • | | the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; |
| • | | the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; |
| • | | the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
| • | | it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and |
| • | | the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. |
(l) Research and development
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures are capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development to use or sell the asset. Other development expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

(Expressed in CDN $000’s except share amounts)
4. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
(m) Income taxes
The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities for accounting purposes, and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in statutory tax rates is recognized in profit or loss in the year of change. Deferred income tax assets are recorded when their recoverability is considered probable and are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.
(n) Share-based compensation
The Company measures equity settled share-based payments based on their fair value at the grant date and recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. 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. For share based payments granted to non-employees the compensation expense is measured at the fair value of the good and services received except where the fair value cannot be estimated in which case it is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The fair value of share-based compensation to non-employees is periodically re-measured until counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the period and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity instruments. 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.
(o) Earnings (loss) per share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share data for its common shares. Basic earnings (loss) 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 (loss) per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which comprise warrants and share options issued.
(p) Financial instruments
Financial assets
The Company initially recognizes financial assets at fair value on the date that they are originated. All financial assets (including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognized initially on the date at which the Company becomes 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 classifies its financial assets as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available for sale (“AFS”) financial assets or loans and receivables. A financial asset is classified at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss if the Company manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(p) Financial instruments (continued)
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.
AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as AFS or are not classified as loans and receivables or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. AFS financial assets are stated at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 19. Changes in the carrying amount of AFS monetary financial assets relating to changes in foreign currency rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and dividends on AFS equity investments are recognised in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of AFS financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). When the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in OCI is reclassified to profit or loss. AFS equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of each reporting period.
Financial liabilities
The Company initially recognizes financial liabilities at fair value on the date that they are originated. All financial liabilities (including liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognized initially on the date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.
The Company classifies its financial liabilities as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other liabilities. Subsequent to initial recognition other liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities at fair value are stated at fair value with changes being recognized in profit or loss.
Classification of financial instruments
The Company classifies its financial assets and liabilities depending on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired, their characteristics, and management intent as outlined below:
| | |
| | Classification |
Cash and cash equivalents | | Fair value through profit or loss |
| |
Accounts receivable | | Loans and receivable |
| |
Restricted investments | | Loans and receivable |
| |
Other financial assets | | Fair value through OCI and Fair value through profit or loss |
| |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | | Other liabilities |
| |
Long-term debt | | Other liabilities |
| |
Acquisition consideration related liabilities | | Fair value through profit or loss |
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Transaction costs
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

4. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
(p) Financial instruments (continued)
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those classified at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
(q) Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Biological assets and inventory
In calculating the value of the biological assets and inventory, management is required to make a number of estimates, including estimating the stage of growth of the cannabis up to the point of harvest, harvesting costs, selling costs, sales price, wastage and expected yields for the cannabis plant. In calculating final inventory values, management is required to determine an estimate of spoiled or expired inventory and compares the inventory cost to estimated net realizable value.
Estimated useful lives and depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are dependent upon estimates of useful lives, which are determined through the exercise of judgment. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.
Share-based compensation
In calculating the share-based compensation expense, key estimates such as the rate of forfeiture of options granted, the expected life of the option, the volatility of the Company’s stock price and the risk free interest rate are used. To calculate the share-based compensation expense related to key employee performance milestones associated with the terms of an acquisition, the Company must estimate the number of shares that will be earned and when they will be issued based on estimated discounted probabilities.
Warrants
In calculating the value of the warrants, the Company includes key estimates such as the volatility of the Company’s stock price, the value of the common share, and the risk free interest rate.
Business combinations
Judgment is used in determining whether an acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition.
In determining the allocation of the purchase price in a business combination, including any acquisition-related contingent consideration, estimates including market based and appraisal values are used. The contingent consideration 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 in accordance with IAS 39, or IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognized in profit or loss.

4. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
(q) Critical accounting estimates and judgments (continued)
The Company measures all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values. Non-controlling interests in the acquiree are measured on the basis of the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of this equity in the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are recognized as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received (except for the costs to issue debt or equity securities which are recognized according to specific requirements.) The excess of the aggregate of (a) the consideration transferred to obtain control, the amount of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree over (b) the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, is recognized as goodwill as of the acquisition date.
(r) New and revised IFRS in issue but not yet effective
Amendments to IAS 12
Amends IAS 12 Income Taxes to clarify the following aspects:
| • | | Unrealized losses on debt instruments measured at fair value and measured at cost for tax purposes give rise to a deductible temporary difference regardless of whether the debt instrument’s holder expects to recover the carrying amount of the debt instrument by sale or by use; |
| • | | The carrying amount of an asset does not limit the estimation of probable future taxable profits; |
| • | | Estimates for future taxable profits exclude tax deductions resulting from the reversal of deductible temporary differences; and |
| • | | An entity assesses a deferred tax asset in combination with other deferred tax assets. Where tax law restricts the utilisation of tax losses, an entity would assess a deferred tax asset in combination with other deferred tax assets of the same type. |
This amendment is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.
Disclosure Initiative (Amendments to IAS 7)
Amends IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows to improve information provided to users of financial statements about an entity’s financial activities by making the following changes:
| • | | The following changes in liabilities arising from financing activities are disclosed (to the extent necessary): (i) changes from financing cash flows; (ii) changes arising from obtaining or losing control of subsidiaries or other businesses; (iii) the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates; (iv) changes in fair values; and (v) other changes; |
| • | | The International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) defines liabilities arising from financing activities as liabilities “for which cash flows were, or future cash flows will be, classified in the statement of cash flows as cash flows from financing activities”. It also stresses that the new disclosure requirements also relate to changes in financial assets if they meet the same definition; and |
| • | | Changes in liabilities arising from financing activities must be disclosed separately from changes in other assets and liabilities. |
This amendment is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
IFRS 15 was issued by the IASB in May 2014 and specifies how and when revenue should be recognized based on a five-step model, which is applied to all contracts with customers. On April 12, 2016, the IASB published final clarifications to IFRS 15 with respect to identifying performance obligations, principal versus agent considerations, and licensing. IFRS 15 becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted.

(r) New and revised IFRS in issue but not yet effective (continued)
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”)
IFRS 9 was issued by the IASB in November 2009 and October 2010 and will replace IAS 39. IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Two measurement categories continue to exist to account for financial liabilities in IFRS 9, fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) and amortized cost. Financial liabilities held-for-trading are measured at FVTPL, and all other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost unless the fair value option is applied. The treatment of embedded derivatives under the new standard is consistent with IAS 39 and is applied to financial liabilities and non-derivative hosts not within the scope of the standard. The effective date of IFRS 9 is January 1, 2018.
IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 was issued by the IASB in January 2016 and specifies the requirements to recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted.
The Company is assessing the impact of the new or revised IFRS standards in issue but not yet effective on its financial position and financial performance.
5. | RESTRICTED SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS |
Short-term restricted investments consist of a $250 guaranteed investment certificate that matured on May 28, 2017, and was subsequently renewed to a maturity date of September 1, 2018, bearing an annual interest rate of 1.6% and a $300 guaranteed investment certificate maturing March 21, 2018 bearing an annual interest rate of 1.0%.
The $250 investment is held by the bank as collateral for an issued Letter of Credit for the Industrial Electricity Incentive Contract Stream and the $300 investment is held by the bank as security for the repayment of a Letter of Credit with Hydro One Networks Inc.
The Company’s amounts receivable consists of trade accounts receivable, harmonized sales tax (“HST”) receivable, and interest receivable. The breakdown of the amounts receivable balance was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2017 | | | March 31, 2016 | |

7. | BIOLOGICAL ASSETS AND INVENTORY |
The Company’s biological assets consists of seeds and medical cannabis plants. The continuity of biological assets for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2017 | | | March 31, 2016 | |
Balance, beginning of year | | $ | 5,321 | | | $ | 2,028 | |
Purchase (use) of seeds | | | 70 | | | | (92 | ) |
Acquired biological assets | | | 1,691 | | | | 1,799 | |
Changes in fair value less costs to sell due to biological transformation | | | 61,073 | | | | 38,897 | |
Transferred to inventory upon harvest | | | (53,430 | ) | | | (37,311 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
Balance, end of year | | $ | 14,725 | | | $ | 5,321 | |
| | | | | | | | |
As at March 31, 2017, included in the carrying amount of biological assets was $377 in seeds and $14,348 in live plants ($275 in seeds and $5,046 in live plants as at March 31, 2016).
The significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of medical cannabis plants are as follows:
| • | | wastage of plants based on their various stages; |
| • | | yield by strain of plant; |
| • | | percentage of costs incurred to date compared to the total costs to be incurred are used to estimate the fair value of an in-process plant; and |
| • | | percentage of costs incurred for each stage of plant growth was estimated. |
On average, the grow cycle is 12 weeks. All of the plants are to be harvested as agricultural produce (i.e., medical cannabis) and as at March 31, 2017, on average, were 43% complete, compared to 45% average stage of completion as at March 31, 2016.
The Company estimates the harvest yields for the plants at various stages of growth. As of March 31, 2017, it is expected that the Company’s biological assets will yield approximately 5,858 kg compared to 2,121 kg at March 31, 2016. The Company’s estimates are, by their nature, subject to change. Changes in the anticipated yield will be reflected in future changes in the gain or loss on biological assets.
As at March 31, 2017, the Company held 8,360 kg of dry cannabis (377 kg of which was finished goods, 3,173 kg awaiting release for sale, and 4,810 kg held for future extract production) and 3,049 L of cannabis oils, compared to 4,447 kg of dry cannabis (1,198 kg of which was finished goods, 787 kg awaiting release for sale, and 2,462 held for future extract production) and 570 L of cannabis oils held at March 31, 2016.

The $23,666 cost adjustment from leasehold improvements is largely due to improvements which were made to the 1 Hershey facility which were transferred to building and improvements upon acquisition on January 13, 2017. Of the $1,346 net cost disposals/adjustments, $632 was transferred to intangibles as these amounts were composed of software. See Note 10.
During the year ended March 31, 2017, the assets in process additions were $18,771 of which $15,997 related principally to the expansion or growing operations at Tweed. The remaining $2,774 was mainly for ongoing projects at Tweed Farms, Mettrum, and Vert.

8. | PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED) |
On January 13, 2017, the Company acquired the 472,000 square foot property at 1 Hershey Drive that currently houses Canopy Growth’s headquarters and the Tweed production facilities for $7,163, including transaction costs of $179, from Tweed Hershey Drive Inc. (“Tweed Hershey”). Tweed Hershey was related through common ownership (the Company’s CEO and Chairman is a significant shareholder of Tweed Hershey). The purchase price was partially settled with the issuance of 94,397 of the Company’s common shares with a value of $858 and the rent deposit of $450. The shares were subject to a 4-month lockup. The remainder was paid in cash on closing. Through his ownership in Tweed Hershey, the Chairman and CEO of the Company, received 70,800 of the 94,397 shares issued. The Company had previously leased 168,000 square feet of this facility from Tweed Hershey. The portion of the facility that is not currently being used by the Company has been recorded in assets in process.
(a) Mettrum
On January 31, 2017, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Mettrum, a producer and vendor of medical cannabis. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The consideration for the transaction was 34,265,042 shares issued at a price of $9.85 per share which totaled $337,511, less cash acquired of $12,309. Other consideration included $11,663 of replacement stock options, other share based payments of $480 and an effective settlement of accounts receivable of $680 for total consideration of $350,334. Mettrum shares and replacement options were exchanged at a ratio of 0.7132 Mettrum shares to 1 Canopy Growth share.
The purchase price was allocated as follows:
| | | | |
Net assets acquired | | $ | 12,743 | |

The assets acquired and held for sale represents Mettrum’s non-strategic facility located at 1100 Bennett Road in Bowmanville, Ontario (“Bennett North”). Bennett North is licensed under the ACMPR. On September 16, 2016 and prior to being acquired by the Company, Mettrum entered into an agreement with Cannabis Care Canada Inc. (“CCC”) to sell Bennett North, for $7,000 in cash. Mettrum also entered into agreements to provide transitional services to CCC and a three-year supply agreement with CCC to provide medical cannabis and cannabis extracts. On March 15, 2017, the parties entered into a share purchase amending agreement to extend the original agreement to June 30, 2017. On May 23, 2017, this was further extended to December 31, 2017. At March 31, 2017, assets classified as held for sale of $6,180 are presented net of the associated deferred tax liability of $820.
Goodwill arose in the acquisition of Mettrum because the cost of acquisition included a control premium. In addition, the consideration paid for the combination reflected the benefit of expected revenue growth, future market development and the assembled work force of Mettrum. These benefits were not recognized separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets.

None of the goodwill arising on this acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Bedrocan Brasil will facilitate the importation of Bedrocan’s proprietary standardized cannabis varieties and know-how into the Brazilian market. Additionally, the Company will partner with Entourage to develop cannabis-based pharmaceutical medical products for the Brazilian and international markets. The transactions to establish Bedrocan Brasil and the investment in Entourage was finalized and closed on September 20, 2016. On closing, the Company held a 41.75% interest in Bedrocan Brasil through its subsidiary Bedrocan Canada and a 50% direct ownership interest in Entourage.

These funds will be used both for the continuing development of Bedrocan Brasil and the launch of the Entourage clinical research plan.
Bedrocan Brasil holds the sole local rights to use the Bedrocan brand, as well as the genetic material and cultivation technology of Bedrocan in Brazil. Initially, Bedrocan Brasil will import cannabis products into Brazil from Canada or the Netherlands, with a view to eventually establishing domestic cultivation facilities in Brazil.
The Company has invested a total of $989 for the year ended March 31, 2017, respectively, and $1,159 to date, to incorporate Bedrocan Brasil and invest in Entourage.
In addition, the Company will partner with Entourage to use the medical cannabis provided by Bedrocan Brasil to develop innovative medical cannabis products for the Brazilian and international markets. Entourage will be responsible for developing the standardized cannabis extracts for pre-clinical and clinical trials.
As a result of the funding received on November 23, 2016, the Company accounts for these investments using the equity method of accounting.

The Company recorded $7,650 for the year ended March 31, 2017 (for the year ended March 31, 2016—$3,021) in share-based compensation expense related to options.
In determining the amount of share-based compensation, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to establish the fair value of options granted during the year ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 by applying the following assumptions:
| | | | |
| | March 31, 2017 | | March 31, 2016 |
Risk-free interest rate | | 0.50% - 1.94% | | 0.75% - 1.35% |
Expected life of options (years) | | 1 - 6 | | 3 - 6 |
Expected annualized volatility | | 55% - 70% | | 55% |
Expected dividend yield | | Nil | | Nil |
Weighted average Black-Scholes value of each option | | $0.20 - $6.09 | | $0.92 - $0.99 |
Volatility was estimated by using the historical volatility of the Company and other companies that the Company considers comparable that have trading and volatility history prior to the Company becoming public. Beginning the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2017, the Company began using its own historical volatility. The expected life in years represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate was based on the zero coupon Canada government bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.

Other share based payments
Prior to Mettrum’s acquisition by the Company, Mettrum acquired Apollo Applied Research Inc., and Apollo CRO Inc. (together “Apollo”) and 2344823 Ontario Inc., operating as Bodystream (“Bodystream”) in two separate transactions. Under the provisions of the respective share purchase agreements, additional Mettrum shares would have been issued to former shareholders of Apollo and Bodystream over the five years following the acquisition if certain performance targets were met and the shareholders remained as employees. As a result of the acquisition of Mettrum, the obligation for this share based compensation was assumed by the Company. Upon acquisition, these respective share purchase agreements resulted in additional purchase consideration of $480. Post acquisition, these payments have been accounted for as share based compensation expense. The maximum number of Company shares that would be issued with respect to the Apollo and Bodystream agreements is 1,111,702 and 1,073,595 shares, respectively. The Company has estimated the number of shares it expects to vest and is amortizing the expense over the expected vesting period based on the fair value of the shares on the acquisition date. In the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded $690 in share-based compensation related to these shares.
The Company also recorded $396 for the year ended March 31, 2017 (for the year ended March 31, 2016 - $476) in share-based compensation expense for escrowed shares issued on the acquisition of MedCann Access that were related to employment. These shares were measured at fair value at the date of grant and expensed over their vesting period.
In addition, the Company recorded share based payments of $1,307 (for the year ended March 31, 2016 - $181) related to shares provided in exchange for sales and marketing services. The Company has determined that the sales and marketing services received are best measured by reference to the fair value of the equity granted as the services are rendered. This expense is recorded in sales and marketing expenses.
Net income per common share represents the net income attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income per common share was calculated by dividing the applicable net income by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued during the period.
Income tax expense varies from the amount that would be computed by applying the basic federal and provincial tax rates to loss on operations before income taxes, shown as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2017 | | | March 31, 2016 | |

17. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
(a) The Company leases production and retail space under operating leases which range in expiration from June 30, 2017 to November 1, 2036 and also has royalty, equipment and other commitments with varying terms. All production and retail operating leases have optional renewal terms that the Company may exercise at its option.
(b) On February 11, 2016, the Company announced that it had entered into a business agreement with the recording artist known as Snoop Dogg. Under the agreement between the Company and LBC Holdings, Inc., a company controlled by Snoop Dogg, the two parties will partner on select content and brand strategy exclusively in Canada. The Company has determined the services received are best measured by reference to the fair value of the equity granted. The license agreement is for a term of up to five years.
As partial consideration for the arrangement, LBC Holdings, Inc. will receive a combination of common shares, royalties, and monetary compensation, released over the course of the agreement. The share consideration was comprised of common shares totaling 386,100 at a price of $2.59 per share, of which 135,135 common shares were issued on February 11, 2016 and 138,032 common shares were issued during the year ended March 31, 2017, with the remainder of the 112,933 common shares are escrowed for release, subject to meeting certain service criteria, over the initial three years of the term.

(d) A portion of the purchase price of MedCann Access, which was acquired on October 1, 2015, was in the form of contingent consideration. The contingent consideration was contingent on future performance related to employment and customer milestones, certain marketing milestones, and specific achievements within one to two years of the acquisition date. The Company’s liability for this contingent consideration was measured at fair value based on the Company’s expectations of MedCann Access achieving the milestones. The expected milestones were assessed probabilities by management which was then discounted to present value in order to derive a fair value of the contingent consideration. On October 1, 2016, the Company assessed the milestones associated with the MedCann Access acquisition. Out of the remaining 2,161,026 shares held in escrow, 722,378 were released to former MedCann Access shareholders related to employment and as certain milestones of the acquisition had been met, 1,149,892 were released to the Company and cancelled, and 288,756 shares remain under escrow and are related to employment, 144,378 of which were released on April 1, 2017.

(e) In March 2015, a claim was commenced against Canopy Growth Corporation by the former CEO for $330 in specified damages for breach of contract and wrongful dismissal. The litigation process will continue into the foreseeable future unless settled. No amount has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements since the amount cannot be reliably measured at this point.
(f) Prior to its acquisition by the Company, Mettrum had initiated voluntary Type III recalls for products where trace amounts of an unauthorized pesticide was found to have been applied in certain Mettrum products. A Type III recall refers to a situation in which the use of, or exposure to, a product is not likely to cause any adverse health consequences. In March 2017, two separate class action lawsuits relating to the Mettrum recalls were initiated naming Mettrum Health Corp. as respondent.
The proposed action seeks damages for the proposed class of individuals who purchased the products affected by the recall. The Company and its insurers are contesting the litigation. The litigation process will continue into the foreseeable future before the class action suit is certified by the court and unless settled out of court. No amount has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements since the amount cannot be reliably measured at this point.

(Expressed in CDN $000’s except share amounts)
Currency risk
As at March 31, 2017, less than 1% of the company’s financial assets and liabilities for which cash flows are denominated in euros. No financial assets and liabilities were denominated in a foreign currency as at March 31, 2016. The Company has very limited currency risk. No other financial assets and liabilities are denominated in a foreign currency.
Interest rate risk
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk only relates to any investments of surplus cash as well as long-term debt and capital lease obligations. The Company may invest surplus cash in highly liquid investments with short terms to maturity that would accumulate interest at prevailing rates for such investments. Currently the Company’s short-term investments and restricted investments consist of $85,650 in guaranteed investment certificates which have fixed rates of interest.
Interest rate risk on the long-term debt and capital lease obligations is limited due to the fact that they are both fixed rate of interest instruments.
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 accounts receivable. The Company is 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, but has limited risk due to the fact that the majority of sales are transacted with credit cards. Trade accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $252.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, short-term restricted investments and amounts receivable represents the maximum exposure to credit risk and at March 31, 2017, this amounted to $108,165 (2016—$16,883). Since the inception of the Company, no losses have been suffered in relation to cash held by the bank.
As at March 31, 2017, the Company’s aging of receivables was approximately as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2017 | | | March 31, 2016 | |
0-60 days | | $ | 2,137 | | | $ | 810 | |
61-120 days | | | 909 | | | | 330 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 3,046 | | | $ | 1,140 | |
| | | | | | | | |
The Company’s accounts receivable are primarily driven by sales to government agencies and credit card processors and timing of bill payments. At March 31, 2017, the receivables from government agencies and credit card processor and bill payment receivables accounted for 55% and 30%, respectively, of trade accounts receivable (2016—52% and 44%, respectively).
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by reviewing on an ongoing basis its capital requirements. During the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company completed several equity financings for gross cash proceeds of $130,276.

In addition to the commitments disclosed in Note 17, the Company is obligated to the following contractual maturities of undiscounted cash flows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | Contractual cash | | | | | | | | | Years 4 and after - | |

Total | | $ | 25,716 | | | $ | 27,354 | | | $ | 17,543 | | | $ | 4,619 | | | $ | 5,193 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fair values
The carrying values of cash, short-term investments, and restricted investments and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term to maturity. The mortgage payables have a carrying value of $7,549 and the term loan has a carrying value of $1,724, both of which approximate fair value.
Fair value hierarchy
Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the statement of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1—valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2—valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
Level 3—valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
During the year, there were no transfers of amounts between levels.
The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. A financial instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value.
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 financial instruments.
The short-term investments, restricted investments, and debt are classified as Level 2 financial instruments. The warrants were valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and are also classified as a Level 2 financial instrument.
The equity interest (comprised of the ordinary shares and performance shares) and options in AusCann are also classified as Level 2 financial instruments. The ordinary shares were valued by discounting the quoted price of the shares to reflect the restriction on trading using a put option pricing model. The performance shares were assessed a probability by management to reflect the impact of the performance contingency and the quoted price of the shares was discounted to reflect the restriction on trading using a put option pricing model. The options were valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The Company’s other financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and other liabilities are carried at cost which approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of those instruments.

MedCann Access related contingent consideration
The Company’s liability for the MedCann Access related contingent consideration was measured at fair value based on unobservable inputs, and was considered a level 3 financial instrument. The fair value of the liability determined by this analysis was primarily driven by the Company’s expectations of MedCann Access achieving the milestones. The expected milestones were assessed probabilities by management which was then discounted to present value in order to derive a fair value of the contingent consideration. The primary inputs of the calculation were the probabilities of achieving the milestones and a discount rate. The Company recognized $1,193 and $481 for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, in the increase in fair value of acquisition consideration related liabilities line of the statement of net income and comprehensive income. At March 31, 2017 there was no contingent consideration as the milestones were assessed on October 1, 2016.
The Company operates in one segment, the production and sale of medical cannabis.
All property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are located in Canada, except for $276 which is located outside of Canada.
All revenues were principally generated in Canada during the year ended March 31, 2017, except for $35, related to exported medical cannabis generated outside of Canada. All revenues were generated in Canada during the year ended March 31, 2016.
Operating expenses are presented on the face of the amended and restated consolidated statements of operations using a classification based on the functions “Cost of sales (recovery),” “Sales and marketing,” “Research and development,” and “General and administration.” The Company also presents other material operating expenses separately as they were deemed to be items of dissimilar function.
Operating expenses totalled $54,028 and $15,448 for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Total operating expenses were distributed by nature as follows:

The Company’s objective is to maintain sufficient capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and customer confidence and to sustain future development of the business and provide the ability to continue as a going concern. Management defines capital as the Company’s shareholders’ equity and debt. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management; but rather promotes year over year sustainable profitable growth. The Company currently has not paid any dividends to its shareholders.
As at March 31, 2017 total managed capital was comprised of shareholders’ equity and debt of $650,056 (March 31, 2016—$127,807).
There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.
The Company is subject to externally imposed restrictions related to covenants on its mortgage payable (see Note 12).
a) Acquisition of rTrees
On May 1, 2017, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of rTrees Producers Limited (“rTrees”), a late-stage ACMPR applicant based in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. The consideration for the transaction included 3,494,505 common shares of the Company of which 698,901 common shares were issued on closing. The remaining shares were to be held in escrow and will be issued if and when specific licensing and capacity expansion related milestones are achieved.
On June 16, 2017, rTrees received its cultivation license from Health Canada, one of the licensing milestones, and released 698,901 of the escrowed shares.
b) Canopy Rivers Corporation
On May 12, 2017, the Company advanced $20,000 in the form of a convertible debenture to a newly formed subsidiary company, Canopy Rivers Corporation (“Canopy Rivers”). Other investors advanced $953 of seed capital to purchase Class B common shares, including $503 that was advanced by certain employees of the Company and another individual, where the Company provided a share purchase loan that was used to pay for the Class B common shares.
On June 16, 2017, Canopy Rivers completed a Class B common share offering for aggregate gross proceeds of $36,230 at which time the convertible debenture was converted into Class A common shares of Canopy Rivers. Through these Class A common shares the Company’s ownership interest in Canopy Rivers is 34.5%, but holds 91.3% of voting rights.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2017 Canopy Rivers made commitments totaling $16,475 under funding arrangements with an ACMPR licensee and an ACMPR applicant and advanced $8,475 under these arrangements.
c) AusCann
On May 10, 2017 AusCann received its cultivation license and the Company’s performance shares in AusCann converted into ordinary shares. On May 20, 2017 AusCann participated in AusCann’s equity financing round by investing $1,214. Following the conversion and financing the Company held 11.01% of the ordinary shares of AusCann.
d) Bedrocan arbitration
On July 14, 2017, Bedrocan Canada commenced arbitration proceedings against Bedrocan International BV seeking performance of Bedrocan International’s contractual obligations under the licensing and distribution agreement (“LDA”) between the parties. Management believes the impact of the arbitration proceedings on the Company and its customers to be negligible.
