Goodwill arose in these acquisitions because the cost of acquisition included a control premium. In addition, the consideration paid for the combination reflected the benefit of expected revenue growth and future market development. 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 these acquisitions is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. (i) DCL On May 30, 2018, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of DaddyCann Lesotho PTY Limited (“DCL”). DCL was subsequently renamed Spectrum Cannabis (Lesotho) PTY Limited. Based in the Kingdom of Lesotho, DCL holds a license to cultivate, manufacture, supply, hold, import, export and transport cannabis and its resin. On closing, 666,362 common shares were issued to former shareholders of DCL at a price of $37.07 for consideration of $24,702. An additional 79,892 common shares will be issued on the achievement of a licensing milestone. These shares have been accounted for as equity classified contingent consideration. Management assessed the probability and timing of achievement and then discounted to present value using a put option pricing model in order to derive a fair value of the contingent consideration of $2,100. There was also the effective settlement of a note receivable of $500, which was advanced in cash by the Company prior to closing, for total consideration of $27,302. An additional 253,586 common shares will be issued to the former shareholders of DCL contingent on the achievement of certain operational milestones. The Company has finalized the purchase price allocation to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the acquisition method. The measurement period adjustments include the recognition of an operating license intangible asset with a fair value of $27,379 and a deferred tax liability of $2,716. The fair value of the operating license was estimated using a market-based valuation technique, where the implied value of the license is estimated to equal the excess purchase price paid. The operating license will not be amortized as the Company has concluded that it has an indefinite useful life. (ii) Spectrum Colombia On July 5, 2018, the Company acquired Spectrum Colombia, which previously operated as Colombia Cannabis S.A.S. The consideration for the transaction was 1,193,237 common shares with a fair value of $46,119 based on the Company’s share price on the closing date. On July 5, 2018, in conjunction with the acquisition of Spectrum Colombia the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Canindica in exchange for 595,184 common shares. Canindica was controlled by the Regional Managing Director of the Company’s Latin American business. Canindica does not meet the definition of a business and the fair value of the consideration paid of $23,004 has been recorded as compensation expense. Upon the achievement of future cultivation and sales milestones, the Company will issue up to 2,098,304 additional common shares of the Company to the former shareholders of Spectrum Colombia and shares to a value of $42,623 to the former shareholders of Canindica. If Canindica fails to meet certain of these milestones, Canindica will pay USD $10,000 to the Company. This obligation is secured through future milestone payments to Canindica. Additionally, if all of these milestones are met prior to July 4, 2023, the Company will issue, to the previous shareholders of Spectrum Colombia and Canindica, the number of Company shares equal to four percent and six percent, respectively, of the fair market value of the Company’s Latin American business. The milestone shares are being provided in exchange for services and are being accounted for as share-based compensation expense. The Company has finalized the purchase price allocation to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the acquisition method. The measurement period adjustments include a decrease to the fair value of land acquired of $3,794, the recognition of an operating license intangible asset with a fair value of $50,063 and a deferred tax liability of $14,002. The fair value of the operating license was estimated using a market-based valuation technique, where the implied value of the license is estimated to equal the excess purchase price paid. The operating license will not be amortized as the Company has concluded that it has an indefinite useful life. (iii) CHI CHI is a cannabis research innovator. On August 3, 2018, the Company acquired all of its unowned interest in CHI to increase its total ownership to 100% of CHI’s issued and outstanding shares. Immediately preceding the acquisition, CHI amalgamated with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Canopy Animal Health (“CAH”), creating one amalgamated corporation which continued as CHI. In addition, the vesting of certain CHI and CAH options was accelerated and certain options were exercised. Following this transaction, the Company will control CHI and CHI will be accounted for as a wholly-owned subsidiary. CHI shares and options were exchanged at a ratio of 0.379014 CHI shares to 1 Canopy Growth share or replacement option, resulting in 2,591,369 common shares, 568,005 replacement options and 485,572 common shares of which 217,859 are subject to certain trading restrictions (“Compensation Shares”) being issued. This consideration included 278,230 shares and 154,208 replacement options that were issued to key management personnel of the Company that were shareholders and option holders in CHI. The fair value of the shares issued totaled $98,034 which is comprised of $87,717 calculated as the 2,591,369 common shares issued at the Company’s share price on the date of the transaction and $10,317 which reflects the fair value of the Compensation Shares issued, calculated using a Black-Scholes model. The fair value of the replacement options was determined using a Black-Scholes model and the total fair value has been allocated to the consideration paid for CHI only to the extent that it related to pre-combination services. As a result, $8,199 of the total fair value has been included as consideration paid to acquire CHI as it related to pre-combination vesting service and $11,714 of the fair value will be recognized as share-based compensation expense rateably over the post-combination vesting period (see Note 18 for details on the share-based compensation expense). Prior to this acquisition, the Company’s 43% participating share was accounted for using the equity method. The acquisition of the 57% interest is accounted for as a business combination achieved in stages under IFRS 3. The Company remeasured its 43% interest to fair value and recognized a gain of $62,682 which reflects the difference between the carrying value of $nil and the implied fair value $62,682. The fair value was estimated to be the transaction price less an estimated control premium of 5%. The Company has finalized the purchase price allocation to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the acquisition method. The measurement period adjustments made were to recognize the acquired intellectual property (“IP”) intangible asset with a fair value of $20,000 and a deferred tax liability of $4,806. The fair value of the IP was estimated using a cost-based approach, where a rate of return has been applied to the amount that CHI had invested in research and development up to the date of acquisition. The IP will be amortized over the estimated useful life of 15 years. (iv) Hiku On September 5, 2018, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hiku. Hiku is federally licensed to cultivate and sell cannabis through its wholly-owned subsidiary DOJA Cannabis Ltd. Hiku also operates a network of retail stores selling coffee, clothing and curated accessories, across British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. Hiku shares, options and warrants were exchanged at a ratio of 0.046 Hiku shares to 1 Canopy Growth share, replacement option, or warrant. On the acquisition date Hiku had convertible debentures outstanding with a principal amount of $618 which were convertible into 498,387 Hiku common shares. As a result of the acquisition the conversion feature was adjusted in accordance with the above exchange ratio. The fair value of these debentures on September 5, 2018 was estimated to be $1,570 which was allocated $949 to the conversion feature and $621 to the debt component. On November 5, 2018 in accordance with the terms of the debenture the Company completed the forced conversion of the debenture in exchange for 22,866 shares. Prior to closing the Company advanced cash of $10,000 to Hiku pursuant to a promissory note. The funds were used to pay the termination fee owed by Hiku in connection with a previously announced transaction. On closing the Company issued 7,943,123 common shares with a fair value of $543,866, based on the Company’s share price on the date of the transaction, cash consideration of $11,994, 920,452 replacement warrants and 291,629 replacement options. The fair value of the replacement warrants was estimated to be $30,611 using a Black-Scholes model. The replacement options’ fair value totaled $17,693, calculated using a Black-Scholes model, of which $13,537 has been included as consideration paid as it related to pre-combination services and the residual $4,156 fair value will be recognized as stock compensation expense rateably over the post-combination vesting period. Other consideration also includes $949 related to the convertible debenture and the effective settlement of the promissory note of $10,000. The Company has finalized the purchase price allocation to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the acquisition method. The measurement period adjustments made were to recognize the acquired brand and operating license intangible assets with a fair value of $17,000 and $37,300, respectively, and a deferred tax liability of $14,598. The fair value of the brand was estimated using a cost-based approach, where a rate of return has been applied to the amount that Hiku had invested in developing their Tokyo Smoke brand up to the date of acquisition. The fair value of the operating license was estimated using a market approach where recent transactions to purchase the same type of license were analyzed and applied to the licenses held by Hiku at the date of acquisition. Both the brand and operating licenses will not be amortized as the Company has concluded that both intangible assets have an indefinite useful life. (v) ebbu On November 23, 2018 the Company acquired substantially all the assets and intellectual property of ebbu Inc. (“ebbu”), a Colorado-based hemp research operation in exchange for $25,000 cash and 6,221,210 common shares of which $7,462 cash and 899,424 shares were held back for a period of 12 to 18 months in respect of certain representations and warranties of the seller. Up to a further $100,000 will be paid subject to the achievement of certain scientific related milestones within a period of two years of closing. The Company will have the option of satisfying these milestone payments in cash, shares or a combination of cash and shares, subject to the restriction that each payment must be comprised of at least 10% cash but the cash portion cannot exceed 19.9% of the payment. If such payments are satisfied in shares, the number of shares will be calculated based on the volume weighted average price of the shares on the TSX for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the date of achievement of the milestone. The assets transferred constitute a business and the transaction will be accounted for as a business combination. The consideration for this transaction is estimated to be $366,176. This includes cash and shares transferred on closing with a value of $16,060 and $234,052 respectively and contingent consideration of $116,064. The contingent consideration includes $29,880 which is classified as equity and $86,184 which is classified as a liability. Management has estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration by assessing the probability of releasing the holdback amounts and probability and timing of achieving the milestones. The fair value of the equity classified contingent consideration is determined using a put option pricing model. The fair value of the liability classified contingent consideration is determined by discounting the expected cash outflows to present value. The fair value of acquisition consideration related liabilities at March 31, 2019 is $87,584. Management has determined that a portion of the consideration transferred is being provided in exchange for services and will be accounted for as compensation expense. The grant date fair value of this compensation has been estimated to be $8,416 which will be expensed rateably over the estimated vesting periods. The Company has finalized the purchase price allocation to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the acquisition method. The measurement period adjustments made were to recognize the acquired IP intangible asset with a fair value of $51,600 and a deferred tax liability of $13,731. The fair value of the IP was estimated using a market-based approach, where a valuation multiple was derived from a review of comparable companies’ investment in IP. This multiple was then applied to ebbu’s investment in research and development up to the date of the acquisition. The IP will be amortized over the estimated useful life of 15 years. (vi) POS On November 23, 2018 the Company acquired effective control for accounting purposes over the operations of POS Holdings Inc. (“POS”), as a result of a debenture financing transaction which was entered into concurrent with the grant of an option to acquire POS. POS is a bio-processing facility located in Saskatchewan, Canada. On July 1, 2018, the Company had entered into an agreement whereby the Company was granted an option to acquire all of the assets of POS in exchange for $6,000. The amount advanced for this option was to be applied against the purchase price of the assets of POS when the option was exercised and had been recorded as a deposit. In addition, the Company had entered into an agreement for processing services to be conducted by POS on behalf of the Company and had made advances of $13,864 under this agreement. Since processing under this agreement has not yet commenced, all the amounts advanced prior to November 23, 2018 had been recorded as a prepaid expense. The deposit and prepaid amounts form part of the consideration transferred. On November 23, 2018, the Company advanced a further $109,094 pursuant to a convertible debenture for total cash consideration of $128,958. The Company has finalized the purchase price allocation to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the acquisition method. The measurement period adjustments made were to recognize the acquired IP intangible asset with a fair value of $23,300 and a deferred tax liability of $6,042. The fair value of the IP was estimated using an income approach which involved estimating future net cash flows and applying an appropriate discount rate to those future cash flows. The IP will be amortized over the estimated useful life of 15 years. (vii) S&B On December 6, 2018 the Company acquired Storz & Bickel GmbH & Co., KG (“S&B”), related entities, and IP for $203,786 cash. Based in Tuttlingen, Germany S&B are designers and manufacturers of medically approved vaporizers. Up to a further €10,000 will be paid to the former shareholders subject to the achievement of certain market launch milestones. This represents liability classified contingent consideration. Management has estimated the fair value of this consideration to be $14,355 by assessing the probability and timing of achievement of the milestones and discounting the expected cash outflows to present value. Other liabilities assumed include an amount of $21,447 owing to the former shareholders of S&B. Due to the timing of this acquisition, the purchase price allocation for the S&B acquisition is provisional. The fair value assigned to the consideration paid, intangible assets and net assets acquired is based on management’s best estimate using the information currently available and the IP intangible asset and deferred tax liability may be revised by the Company as additional information is received. (viii) Cafina On March 25, 2019, the Company acquired Cáñamo y Fibras Naturales, S.L. (“Cafina”), a Spanish-based licensed cannabis producer for consideration of $43,940 of which $36,074 cash was advanced on closing and a further €6,000 was held back and will be released to the former shareholders on the second and fourth anniversary of the acquisition, subject to certain representations and warranties. The acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated to be $7,866. Due to the timing of this acquisition, the purchase price allocation for the Cafina acquisition is provisional. The fair value assigned to the consideration paid, intangible assets and net assets acquired is based on management’s best estimate using the information currently available and may be revised by the Company as additional information is received. (ix) Other acquisitions On April 16, 2018 the Company acquired 100% of Annabis Medical s.r.o. (“Annabis”) a company that imports and distributes cannabis products pursuant to federal Czech licenses. Under the terms of the agreement the Company issued 50,735 common shares on closing for total consideration of $1,568. An additional 34,758 common shares will be issued contingent on future services and the achievement of certain milestones. These shares are being accounted for as share based compensation and being amortized over the expected vesting period. (b) Acquisition of non-controlling shareholder’s interest in BC Tweed On October 10, 2017, the Company entered into a definitive joint venture agreement with a large-scale greenhouse operator (the “Partner”) to form a new company, BC Tweed Joint Venture Inc. (“BC Tweed”) (“Original Transaction”). BC Tweed was 66.67% owned by the Company and 33.33% owned by the Partner. As part of the Original Transaction, BC Tweed agreed to lease from the Partner a 1.3 million square feet greenhouse facility located on a 55-acre parcel of land in British Columbia (“Aldergrove Lease”). In December 2017, BC Tweed agreed to lease and develop a second greenhouse of 1.7 million square feet (“Delta Lease”) from the Partner. The greenhouse operation transferred by the Partner met the definition of a business and was accounted for as a business combination and the Company recorded goodwill of $36,400. The Partner had the option to sell its interest in BC Tweed, in whole or in part, to the Company. This put option was exercisable only on specific dates following the license date – the 4th anniversary of the sales license date, then at the 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th anniversaries. The put option was accounted for as a liability of the Company (“BC Tweed Put Liability”) and was recorded on the statements of financial position in Other long-term liabilities and subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in Net income (loss) in the period in which they arose. On October 10, 2017 the fair value of the BC Tweed Put Liability was estimated to be $36,400 using a discounted cash flow approach by estimating the expected future cash flows and applying a discount rate to arrive at the present value of the put option’s strike price. On March 31, 2018 the BC Tweed Put Liability was estimated to be $56,300 and the increase of $19,900 was recorded in the consolidated statement of operations (Note 23). For further information on valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value refer to Note 31. As part of the Original Transaction, BC Tweed entered into call/put option agreements with the Partner to acquire all of the limited partnership units of the limited partnerships which hold the greenhouses and related property. BC Tweed has the right to exercise the call options for a term of seven years from the respective license dates of the facilities. The purchase price for acquiring the limited partnership units of the entity which owns the Aldergrove Lease property is $28,000 less any and all liabilities of the limited partnership (this price will increase by 3% per year from the license date with further increases of 8% per year starting after the fifth anniversary from the license date until the end of the call/put option period, as applicable). The purchase price for acquiring the limited partnership units of the entity which owns the Delta Lease property is $45,000 less any and all liabilities of the limited partnership (this price will increase by 3% per year from the license date with further increases of 8% per year starting after the fifth anniversary from the license date until the end of the call/put option period, as applicable). Since these options represent options to acquire the limited partnership units, the options were accounted for as derivative financial instruments which were recognized initially and subsequently at fair value through profit or loss. Management had estimated that the fair value of these options is $nil as the exercise price of the options approximates the fair value of the limited partnership units. The Company had initially concluded that the Company and the Partner had joint control over BC Tweed but during the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company revised its previous conclusion that BC Tweed was subject to joint control. The Company has concluded that based on the shareholders’ agreement and the contractual terms of the offtake agreement that the significant relevant activities are unilaterally controlled by the Company. Since the Company had previously recognized the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of BC Tweed based on its proportionate share of BC Tweed’s output, being 100%, the conclusion that BC Tweed should have been a consolidated subsidiary had no significant impact on the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements. On July 5, 2018, the Company acquired the non-controlling shareholder’s (the “Partner’s”) 33% interest in BC Tweed (the “Subsequent Transaction”) for total consideration of $495,386. Consideration included $1,000 in cash and 13,293,969 shares of the Company of which 5,091,523 shares were released on closing and the remaining 8,202,446 shares were placed in escrow. The shares placed in escrow will be released over a period of up to three years, with the exact timing of release dependent on the occurrence of specified events. As of March 31, 2019, 1,261,915 of the escrowed shares have been released. The 5,091,523 shares issued on close were recorded at an issue price of $39.70 per share for consideration of $202,133. The fair value of the shares held in escrow was estimated to be $265,253 using a put option pricing model discounted to reflect management’s best estimate of the expected dates of release. On closing of the Subsequent Transaction, the call option held by BC Tweed on the limited partnership units of the limited partnerships which hold the greenhouses and related property was amended to effectively increase the call option price by $27,000. Management has determined that this increase in the call option price represents additional consideration for the Partner’s interest. On closing of the Subsequent Transaction the excess of the consideration paid for the Partner’s 33% interest over the fair value of the BC Tweed Put Liability on the transaction date of $72,600 was recognized as a $422,786 charge to Equity. Under the Original Transaction, upon various milestones being achieved, the Company had agreed to issue 310,316 common shares over two tranches and a further $2,750 of common shares of the Company in two additional tranches to the Partner. These payments were accounted for as share-based compensation expense and the grant date fair value of $6,731 was being amortized over the estimated vesting period. On closing of the Subsequent Transaction, the Company amended the terms of this share-based compensation arrangement to accelerate the vesting of 155,158 shares, and to cancel the remaining tranches of the compensation arrangement. As a result, the unamortized balance of the grant date fair value of the share-based compensation of $954 was expensed in the year ended March 31, 2019. On October 24, 2018 the Company amended the terms of the lease agreements for Aldergrove Lease and Delta Lease and the amended leases were classified as finance leases. The Company recognized the assets under finance lease and finance lease liability of $73,000. On March 31, 2019 the Company exercised the call options and acquired the limited partnership units of the limited partnerships that held greenhouse facilities under lease which resulted in the Company derecognizing the asset under finance lease, the finance lease liability and the contingent consideration and recognizing the greenhouse facilities and the ATB financing with a principal amount of $95,000. (c) Acquisitions completed in the year ended March 31, 2018 The following table summarizes the consolidated statements of financial position impact on the acquisition date of the Company’s business combinations that occurred in the year ended March 31, 2018: Tweed Vert Grasslands Tweed JA Odense Mirabel Other (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (viii) Cash and cash equivalents $ 59 $ 125 $ - $ - $ 7 Amounts receivable 16 - - - 14 Subscription receivable - 3,669 - - - Inventory and Biological Assets - - 173 - - Prepaids and other assets 6 - - - 107 Property, plant and equipment 1,446 182 3,990 - 468 Goodwill 29,736 1,835 - 5,625 1,562 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (336 ) (29 ) - - (143 ) Debt and other liabilities - - (297 ) - - Net assets 30,927 5,782 3,866 5,625 2,015 Non-controlling interests - (2,013 ) - (2,839 ) - Net assets acquired $ 30,927 $ 3,769 $ 3,866 $ 2,786 $ 2,015 Consideration paid in cash $ 450 $ 100 $ 3,228 $ - $ 166 Consideration paid in shares 6,381 - - - 1,850 Future cash consideration - 3,669 - - - Other consideration 2,382 - - 3,750 - Contingent consideration 21,714 - - - - Total consideration $ 30,927 $ 3,769 $ 3,228 $ 3,750 $ 2,016 Consideration paid in cash $ 450 $ 100 $ 3,228 $ - $ 166 Less: Cash and cash equivalents acquired (59 ) (125 ) - - (7 ) Net cash outflow $ 391 $ (25 ) $ 3,228 $ - $ 159 Goodwill arose in these acquisitions because the cost of acquisition included a control premium. In addition, the consideration paid for the combination reflected the benefit of expected revenue growth and future market development. 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 these acquisitions is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. (i) Tweed Grasslands (formerly rTrees) On May 1, 2017, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of rTrees Producers Inc. (“rTrees”), a late-stage ACMPR applicant based in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. On June 30, 2017, rTrees changed its name to Tweed Grasslands Cannabis Inc. (“Tweed Grasslands”). The consideration for the transaction included 3,494,505 common shares issued to former shareholders of rTrees, of which 2,795,604 common shares were to be held in escrow and will be either released to the former shareholders of rTrees upon the satisfaction of certain specific license achievement, or released to the Company for cancellation.
