| 1. | NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS |
Emerald Health Therapeutics Inc. (the "Company"), is classified as a Tier 1 Venture Issuer on the TSXV, with its common shares (“Common Shares”) listed under the trading symbol “EMH.” The Company is also traded on the OTCQX, with its Common Shares listed under the trading symbol “EMHTF.”
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) have been prepared by management on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As at September 30, 2019, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations and had accumulated losses of $74,026,516 (December 31, 2018 - $52,855,947) since its inception. Subsequent to September 30, 2019, the Company has raised additional gross proceeds of $2,500,000 of equity financing through a private placement (see Note 22). The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate capital, to commence profitable operations in the future, to satisfy its commitments and to repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations as they become due. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“Annual Financial Statements”). Accordingly, accounting policies, estimates, and judgements applied are the same as those applied in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, unless otherwise indicated. The Company assesses its accounting estimates and judgements every reporting period.
The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year.
| a) | Statement of Compliance |
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). As a result, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the IASB have been condensed with certain disclosures from the Annual Financial Statements omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for filing by the Board of Directors on November 29, 2019.

| 3. | NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
IFRS 16, Leases – replaced the guidance in IAS 17 Leases and established principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases, with the objective of ensuring that lessees and lessors provide relevant information that faithfully represents those transactions.
The Company has applied IFRS 16 with an initial application date of January 1, 2019. The simplified transition approach was applied and as a result, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 as an adjustment to the accumulated deficit as at January 1, 2019. The IFRS 16 adjustment as at January 1, 2019, resulted in a debit to the Company’s accumulated deficit of $199,093.
The Company’s lease accounting policy in accordance with IFRS 16 is provided below.
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost and subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is subject to impairment assessment and adjusted for certain remeasurements of its associated lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate or rate implicit in the lease. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The incremental borrowing rate determined for the Company for the leases in transition is within a range of 6% - 8%. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset or is recorded in net earnings if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is nil.
A lease modification is accounted for as a separate lease if there is an increase in the scope of a lease and a corresponding increase in consideration, such as adding the right to use one or more underlying assets in a contract. Otherwise, a lease modification is considered a remeasurement of the lease liability, as discussed above.
Lease payments that depend on performance measures or usage of the underlying asset are considered variable lease payments, which are expensed as incurred.

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates and judgments due to IFRS 16 are provided below.
The Company’s lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the lease payments discounted using the applicable incremental borrowing rate or rate implicit in the lease. Determining the discount rate (incremental borrowing rate) requires significant judgment and may have a significant quantitative impact on lease liability valuations. Many of the Company’s lease liabilities contain one or several lease extension clauses, and could reasonably be extended beyond the lease extensions outlined in the contract. Determining the length of the lease to be used in the present value calculation of the lease obligation requires significant judgement and may have significant impact on lease liability valuations.

Emerald Health Naturals
On January 10, 2019, the TSXV approved the Company’s agreement with Emerald Health Bioceuticals, Inc. (“EHB”), an entity with common directors, to form Emerald Health Naturals Inc. (“Naturals”). Per the formation agreement with EHB, the Company will invest $5,000,000 for a 51% ownership of Naturals and EHB will grant Naturals exclusive Canadian distribution right to EHB’s product line for 49% ownership (“Distribution Right”). The Company has invested $1,099,799 with the remaining amount included in Due to Related Parties on the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position. The Company concluded that it controls Naturals and it has been consolidated, with non-controlling interest recognized for the EHB owned portion. Naturals operates primarily in Canada and is focused on developing natural health products that may provide wellness and medical benefits by interacting with the human body’s endocannabinoid system.

The Distribution Right is recorded at its acquisition date fair value of $4,802,000. It is an intangible asset, estimated to have an indefinite life because it is expected to generate cash flows indefinitely. As an indefinite life intangible asset, the Distribution Right is not amortized.
Concurrent with this agreement, Naturals entered into an agreement to acquire assets from GAB Innovations, Inc. (“GAB”) for cash consideration of $340,000. The Company paid $200,000 on closing and the balance is due on January 10, 2020. On the date of acquisition, management concluded that the assets acquired did not include significant processes or outputs, and therefore did not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3 Business Combinations. As a result, the transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition.
The total purchase price and the fair value of the net assets of GAB acquired are disclosed below:
Net assets acquired | | Asset fair value | | | Relative fair value | |
| | $ | | | $ | |
3 Natural Product Numbers | | | 90,000 | | | | 89,259 | |

| | | 342,824 | | | | 340,000 | |
As part of the asset acquisition, Naturals acquired a Health Canada Natural Health Product (“NHP”) Site License. An NHP Site Licence is required for any site that manufactures, processes, packages, labels, imports, and/or stores NHPs in Canada. The acquired NHP Site License allowed EHN to start importing and storing NHPs in Q2 2019. This intangible asset was recorded at its acquisition date fair value. This asset has a finite life and will be amortized on a straight-line basis in accordance with the Company’s policy.
VerdéliteSciences Inc.
On May 2, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Verdélite and the shareholder loans payable by Verdélite, for total consideration of $90.0 million, payable 50% in cash and 50% in Common Shares (the “Purchase Price”). The Company paid $22.5 million in cash upon closing and $45.0 million was satisfied by the issuance of 9,911,894 Common Shares, of which 4,955,947 Common Shares were held in escrow until May 1, 2019 (Note 13). The remaining $22.3 million was originally payable in cash to the vendors of Verdélite (the “Vendors”) on May 1, 2019.

On May 1, 2019, the Vendors elected to receive $7.5 million of the remaining $22.3 million, as shares of the Company, with the remaining $14.8 million of the Purchase Price to be paid on or before May 30, 2019. The Company treated this change to the terms of settlement for the purchase of Verdélite as an extinguishment of the original terms, and not a modification under IFRS 9,Financial Instruments. The shares issued to the Vendors were valued on the five-day volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares of the Company on the TSXV, discounted 10%, calculated as of April 30, 2019. This resulted in the issuance of 2,129,707 Common Shares to the Vendors, at a deemed share price of $3.52 per Common Share. Under IFRIC 19,Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments,when equity instruments issued to a creditor to extinguish all or part of a financial liability are recognized initially, an entity shall measure them at the fair value of the equity instruments issued. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid is recognized in profit or loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The fair value of the equity issued to the Vendors on May 1, 2019 was $3.85 per share, resulting in a loss of $864,229 being recognized by the Company in the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
An additional loss was recognized on the renegotiation of terms of settlement, as the Company initially recorded the liability at $22.3 million, adjusted from the $22.5 million based on working capital adjustments. The difference of $164,857 has been recognized as a loss by the Company and is included in the settlement loss of $864,229 in the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
On May 30, 2019, the Company renegotiated the terms of the remaining $15.0 million payable to the Vendors. $5.0 million cash was paid in June 2019, with subsequent monthly payments of $1.0 million commencing mid July through to mid November 2019, with a final payment of $5.0 million plus accrued interest due on December 16, 2019. Interest on the outstanding balance began accruing May 31, 2019 at a rate of 10% per annum. The amount outstanding as at September 30, 2019 was $7,323,922.

Carrying amount, end of period | | | 1,175,772 | | | | 1,088,528 | |
As at September 30, 2019, included in the carrying amount of biological assets is $91,960 (December 31, 2018 - $28,570) in seeds and $1,083,812 (December 31, 2018 - $1,059,958) in live plants.
The following inputs and assumptions are categorized within Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy, and are subject to volatility and several uncontrollable factors, which could significantly effect the fair value of the biological assets in future periods:
| · | plant waste – wastage of plants based on various stages of growth; |
| · | yield per plant – represents the weighted average grams of dry cannabis expected to be harvested from a cannabis plant, based on historical yields; |
| · | selling price, less costs to sell – based on estimated selling price per gram of dry cannabis based on historical sales and expected sales; |
| · | percentage of costs incurred to date compared to the total costs to be incurred (to estimate the fair value of an in-process plant) – represents estimated costs to bring a gram of cannabis from propagation to harvest; and |
| · | stage of plant growth – represents the weighted average age in of the plant out of the average growing cycle as at period end date. |
As at September 30, 2019, on average, the biological assets were 22% complete as to the next expected harvest date, compared to a 39% average stage of completion as at December 31, 2018. The average number of days from the point of propagation to harvest is 106 days.
Biological assets are classified as Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy. Significant unobservable inputs used to fair value biological assets include the Company’s estimate of the yield of cannabis per plant as well as the average selling price per gram less cost to sell. A 5% increase or decrease in the estimated yield of cannabis per plant would result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of biological assets of $20,991 at September 30, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $52,620). A 5% increase or decrease in the average selling price per gram less cost to sell would result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the biological assets of $39,844 at September 30, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $59,579).

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
(Unaudited)
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
On September 10, 2019, the Company issued 2,500 secured convertible debenture units (the “Convertible Debenture Units”) of the Company at a price of $10,000 per Convertible Debenture Unit (the “Issue Price”) for gross proceeds of $25,000,000 (the “Offering”) to a single Canadian institutional accredited investor (the “Investor”).
Each Convertible Debenture Unit is comprised of one 5.0% secured convertible debenture of the Company in the principal amount of $10,000 (each, a "Convertible Debenture") and 5,000 common share purchases warrants of the Company (each, a "Debenture Warrant"). The Convertible Debentures have a maturity date of 24 months from the issuance date (the "Maturity Date") and bear interest (at the option of the Company payable in cash or, pursuant to TSXV rules and subject to certain limitations on a holder’s ownership levels, in Common Shares from the date of issuance at 5.0% per annum, accrued and payable semi-annually on June 30th and December 31st of each year. The Convertible Debentures include certain covenants relating to the business of the Company.
Subject to certain limitations on a holder’s ownership levels, restrictions, and at the option of the holder, the Convertible Debentures are convertible, subject to certain restrictions and at theoption of the holder, into Common Shares at any time prior to the close of business on the last business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. The Convertible Debentures have a conversion price of $2.00 per Common Share (the "Conversion Price"). If, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") is greater than $3.50 for 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may force the conversion of the principal amount of the then outstanding principal amount owing pursuant to the Convertible Debentures at the Conversion Price provided the Company gives 30 days' notice of such conversion to the holder.
Subject to certain limitations on a holder’s ownership levels, each Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $2.00 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issue. If, at any time prior to the expiry date of the Warrants, the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSXV is greater than $3.50 for 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may deliver a notice to the holder of Warrants accelerating the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date of such notice.
At issuance, the fair value of the liability component of the Convertible Debentures was estimated to be $21,925,195. They were valued using Company specific interest rates assuming no conversion features exist. The debt component is to be accreted to face value over the term to maturity as a non-cash interest charge. The Debenture Warrants were valued at $2,426,826 using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The residual value was allocated to the equity component of the conversion feature and had a value of $647,978.

Issuance costs of $783,000 were allocated proportionately with $686,697 as a debit against the liability component and $96,303 as a debit against the equity component of the conversion feature. These issuance costs create a temporary difference between the carrying value of the liability component and the tax base of the liability for tax purposes. The deferred tax impact of the allocation of a portion of the Convertible Debenture to equity resulted in a deferred tax recovery in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $805,000 and a corresponding deferred tax asset in equity of $635,950 and $169,050 for the Debenture Warrants and the equity component of the Convertible Debenture, respectively. The effect of deferred tax is recognised in equity because IAS 12 requires that the recognition of deferred tax must follow the underlying transaction it relates to, and the temporary difference relates to the amount attributed to the equity conversion option and Debenture Warrants.
During the period ended September 30, 2019 interest expense of $68,493 and accretion expense of $144,588 was recorded.

The fair values of the options granted during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were determined on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
| | September 30 | | | September 30 | |
| | 2019 | | | 2018 | |
Risk free interest rate | | | 1.29% - 1.85% | | | | 1.73%-2.14% | |
Expected life of options (years) | | | 2.78 | | | | 3.00 | |
Expected annualized volatility | | | 95.99% - 105.68% | | | | 80 | % |
Expected dividend yield | | | Nil | | | | Nil | |
Weighted average Black-Scholes value of each option | | $ | 2.36 | | | $ | 2.28 | |
Volatility was determined by using the historical volatility of the Company. The expected life in years represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on Canada government bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.

Fair value hierarchy – financial instruments recorded at fair value at the statement of financial position dates are classified using the fair value hierarchy, which 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 or indirectly.
Level 3 – Valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
There have been no transfers between fair value levels during the period.
The Company’s financial instruments that are recorded at fair value are presented in the following table:

The Company is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks:
Currency risk
The Company’s functional and presentation currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. As a result, the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk is minimal.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss to the Company if a customer or third-party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk as at September 30, 2019 is the carrying value of its financial assets. The Company’s cash and redeemable short-term investment certificates are largely held in large Canadian financial institutions. The Company does not have any asset backed commercial paper. The Company maintains cash deposits with Schedule A financial institutions, which from time to time may exceed federally insured limits. With regards to receivables, the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk as the Company’s sales are to government bodies or are typically paid at the time of the transaction. The Company provides credit to some of its customers in the normal course of business. The majority of the trade receivables held are with crown corporations.

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Financial assets and liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company does not hold any financial liabilities with variable interest rates. The Company does maintain bank accounts and redeemable short-term investment certificates which earn interest at variable rates, but it does not believe it is currently subject to any significant interest rate risk.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. As at September 30, 2019, the Company had working capital of $5,450,129 (December 31, 2018 – $27,612,457). The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to raise required funding through future equity issuances and through short term borrowing. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.
The Company’s objective when managing its capital is to ensure sufficient equity financing to fund its planned operations in a way that maximizes the shareholder return given the assumed risks of its operations. The Company considers shareholders’ equity as capital. Through the ongoing management of its capital, the Company will modify the structure of its capital based on changing economic conditions. In doing so, the Company may issue new shares. Annual budgeting is the primary tool used to manage the Company’s capital. Updates are made as necessary to both capital expenditure and operational budgets in order to adapt to changes in risk factors, proposed expenditure programs and market conditions.
Segment reporting is prepared on the same basis that the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, manages the business, makes resource allocation decisions and assesses performance. The Company operates in one reportable segment, being the production and sale of cannabis and in one geographical location, Canada.

On October 15, 2019, the Company notified its Joint Venture that it was disputing its liability under a supply agreement between the Company and the Joint Venture (the “Supply Agreement”) with respect to the Joint Venture’s recent sales of cannabis to third parties.
Under the Supply Agreement, the Company may decline to accept deliveries of cannabis product from the Joint Venture. If product is declined, the Joint Venture may sell such product to third parties. In the event of such sale, and only in certain circumstances, the Company may be required to pay to the Joint Venture an amount equal to the difference between the purchase price applicable to the Company (which is subject to adjustment based on sales by the Joint Venture to third parties in accordance with the Supply Agreement) and the average price actually paid by such third parties.
Between June 21, 2019 and September 29, 2019, the Company declined to accept certain deliveries of product; this product was subsequently sold by the Joint Venture to third parties. The Joint Venture has claimed that the Company is liable to the Joint Venture for an aggregate amount of approximately $7.2 million under the terms of the Supply Agreement. The Company disputes this claim as it believes that the basis for calculation by the Joint Venture of the purchase price is incorrect, as the Joint Venture has based its calculation on a fixed purchase price, which is not consistent with the language of the Supply Agreement.
The Company has reviewed certain sales information provided by the Joint Venture for the period in which this claim has arisen. While $7.2 million is the maximum amount that the Company could be liable for, a provision that represents management’s best estimate has been recorded in the period. The actual amount and timing of any expected payments are uncertain as the Company and the Joint Venture are currently disputing the interpretation of the terms of the Supply Agreement. The Company will continue to consider all legal options to defend its interests.
| 22. | EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD |
Subsequent to September 30, 2019, the Company granted 140,000 options to purchase Common Shares with an exercise price of $1.22. These options vest over three years with an expiry date five years from the grant date.
