NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 |
(Unaudited – Amounts reflected in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts) |
| |
1. | Nature and Continuance of Operations |
Emerald Health Therapeutics Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on July 31, 2007. The Company is classified as a Tier 1 Venture Issuer on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV”), with its 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.”
The Company’s registered and records office is at Suite 2500 – 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2X8.
The Company’s principal business is the production, distribution, and sale of cannabis products in Canada, pursuant to the Cannabis Act (Canada) (the “Cannabis Act”).
These condensed interim consolidated 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 March 31, 2020, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, had a loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $4,879 and accumulated losses since inception of $168,930. As at March 31, 2020, the Company had $581 in cash and cash equivalents, and subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2020, received additional financing of $3,163 as a result of a private placement for $2,100 and through the exercise of warrants for gross proceeds of $1,063 (Note 21). The Company is actively seeking financing alternatives in order to manage current cash flows until such time as the Company is profitable. 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 substantial 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.
| |
2. | Significant Accounting Policies and Judgements |
| | |
| a) | Basis of Presentation and Measurement |
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 -Interim Financial Reportingusing accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are presented in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data.
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, 2019. 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, 2019, unless otherwise indicated.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 |
(Unaudited – Amounts reflected in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts) |
| | |
| b) | COVID-19 Estimation Uncertainty |
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the global financial markets have been negatively impacted by the novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. This has led to significant global economic uncertainty, and the current outbreak of COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and the operations of the Company’s suppliers and customers. At this time, the Company has not had any stoppages related to the production and sales of its cannabis, however, this could change based on future developments. The Company has taken what it believes to be appropriate safety precautions at its facilities to safeguard the health of its employees including remote work plans and additional protective measures on site, and there have been no outbreaks to date at any of the Company's facilities. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s operations will depend on future developments, which continue to be highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence.
In addition, it is possible that estimates in the Company’s financial statements will change in the near term as a result of COVID-19 and the effect of any such changes could be material, which could result in, among other things, impairment of long-lived assets including intangibles. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The subsidiaries of the Company at March 31, 2020 include the following:

As at March 31, 2020, included in the carrying amount of biological assets is $85 (December 31, 2019 - $85) in seeds and $4,718 (December 31, 2019 - $4,074) 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 affect the fair value of the biological assets in future periods:
| | |
| Inputs and assumptions | Description |
| Average selling price per gram | Represents the average selling price per gram of dried cannabis net of costs to sell for the period for all strains of cannabis sold, which is expected to approximate future selling prices. |
| Average attrition rate | Represents the weighted average number of plants culled at each stage of production. |
| Average yield per plant | Represents the average number of grams of dried cannabis inventory expected to be harvested from each cannabis plant. Based on historical yields. |
| Average cost per plant | Represents costs incurred to grow plants at different stages of the production cycle. |
| Stage of completion in the production process | Calculated by taking the weighted average number of days in produciton over a total average grow cycle of approximately 14 to 16 weeks based on location and strain. |
| Production costs are capitalized to biological assets and include all direct and indirect costs relating to biological transformation. Costs include direct costs of production, such as labour, growing materials, as well as indirect costs such as indirect labour, quality control costs, depreciation on production equipment, and overhead expenses including rent and utilities. |
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 $172 at March 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - $168). 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 $310 at March 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - $259).
As of March 31, 2020, the weighted average stage of growth for the biological assets was 55% (December 31, 2019 – 45%). The average number of days from the point of propagation to harvest is 109 days.
The Company’s estimates are, by their nature, subject to change and changes in the significant assumptions will be reflected in the gain or loss on biological assets in future periods.

a) Business Combinations Completed during the Year Ended December 31, 2019
| | |
| (i) | 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 Naturals. Naturals holds the Canadian distribution rights to EHB’s product line which focuses on health and wellness products that tap into the bodies Endocannabinoid System through the use of non cannabis-based ingredients. The Company controls Naturals and it has been consolidated, with a non-controlling interest recognized for the EHB owned portion.
b) Business Combinations Completed during the Year Ended December 31, 2018
| | |
| (i) | Verdélite Sciences 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 $90,000, payable 50% in cash and 50% in Common Shares (the “Purchase Price”). The Company paid $22,500 in cash upon closing and $45,000 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. The remaining $22,300 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 $7,500 of the remaining $22,300 as shares of the Company, with the remaining $14,800 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 consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. 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 being recognized by the Company in the 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 $22,300, adjusted from the $22,500 based on working capital adjustments. The difference of $165 was recognized as a loss by the Company and was included in the loss on settlement of deferred payment of $864 in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
On May 30, 2019, the Company renegotiated the terms of the remaining $15,000 payable to the Vendors. $5,000 cash was paid in June 2019, with subsequent monthly payments of $1,000 commencing mid July through to mid November 2019, with a final payment of $5,000 plus accrued interest due on December 16, 2019. Interest on the full $15,000 balance began accruing May 31, 2019 at a rate of 10% per annum and accrues until such time as the entire balance is repaid.

As at March 31, 2020, Pure Sunfarms has not issued dividends. As a privately held company, there are no quoted market prices available for the shares of Pure Sunfarms.
On March 9, 2020, the Company completed a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with its Joint Venture partner. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Supply Agreements (collectively, the "Supply Agreements") entered into between the Company and Pure Sunfarms dated December 21, 2018 (the “2018 Supply Agreement”), which was for the 40% supply provision by Pure Sunfarms to the Company in 2019, at a guaranteed price for 2019, and dated March 29, 2019, which was for the 25% supply provision by Pure Sunfarms, at a guaranteed price adjusted on a semi-annual basis to the Company from 2020 to the end of 2022, respectively, were both terminated effective as of December 31, 2019, and the Company was released from all previous, current, and future obligations, liabilities and payments thereunder. The termination of the Supply Agreements removed the uncertainty regarding the potential obligation of the Company to make any payments to Pure Sunfarms under the terms of those Agreements and provided the Company with full flexibility regarding future access to, and supply of, wholesale cannabis. In exchange, the Company forfeited all amounts due from Pure Sunfarms pursuant to a shareholder’s loan of $13,000 plus accrued interest of $1,062 that the Company previously advanced to Pure Sunfarms. This was effective as of December 31, 2019.
Effective November 18, 2019, the Company cancelled 5,940,000 of its common shares of Pure Sunfarms (previously held in escrow), fully resolving all issues in the arbitration process related to the Company’s decision to offset a $5,940 payment against its shareholder loan in November 2019 regarding the Delta 2 greenhouse. This reduced the Company’s share ownership to 46.47% as of the year ended December 31, 2019.
On March 9, 2020 the Company also issued a promissory note to Pure Sunfarms in the amount of $952 which bears interest at a rate of 6.2% per annum and will mature on the earlier of (a) December 31, 2020; (b) the Company ceasing to be a shareholder of Pure Sunfarms; or (c) the acquisition by any party of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company. The principal amount is the amount owed by the Company to Pure Sunfarms as remittance for bulk sales under the 2018 Supply Agreement.
As part of the Settlement Agreement the Company also transferred 2.5% of its Pure Sunfarms equity to Village Farms. The Parties agreed that the $8,000 provided by Village Farms to Pure Sunfarms in 2020 was to be converted into additional common shares of Pure Sunfarms. Upon completion of this conversion and the other transactions referred to above, the Company holds a 42.60% equity interest in Pure Sunfarms and continues to retain three of six seats on the Pure Sunfarms board of directors as at March 31, 2020.

The fair values of the options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were determined on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
| | | | | | |
| | | March 31 | | March 31 | |
| | | 2020 | | 2019 | |
| Risk free interest rate | | 1.47% - 1.65% | | 1.54% - 1.85% | |
| Expected life of options (years) | | 2.54 | | 2.75 | |
| Expected annualized volatility | | 93.07% - 95.61% | | 103.86% - 105.68% | |
| Expected dividend yield | | Nil | | Nil | |
| Weighted average Black-Scholes value of each option | $ | 0.17 | $ | 2.20 | |
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.
Incentive stock options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2020 are summarized as follows:

Operating segments are components of the Company that engage in business activities which generate revenues and incur expenses (including intercompany revenues and expenses related to transactions conducted with other components of the Company). The operations of an operating segment are distinct and the operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Company’s CEO, for the purposes of resource allocation decisions and assessing its performance. Reportable segments are Operating segments whose revenues or profit/loss or total assets exceed ten percent or more of those of the combined entity.
Key measures used by the CODM to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions include sales, gross profit and net (loss) income. The Company’s operating results are divided into two reportable segments. The two reportable segments are (i) Cannabis; and (ii) Other. The Company primarily operates in the Cannabis segment.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a hierarchy that categorizes into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of hierarchy are:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
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 March 31, 2020 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. 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. Please refer to Note 1 for discussion on the Company’s ability to cover its current liabilities.
COVID-19
The spread of COVID-19 is expected to have a material adverse effect on global and regional economies, and continues to negatively impact stock markets, including the trading price of the Company’s shares. The adverse effects on the economy, the stock market, and the Company’s share price could adversely impact the Company’s ability to raise capital, or its ability to pursue other strategic initiatives.
As at March 31, 2020, the capital structure of the Company consists of $156,723 (December 31, 2019 -$156,621) in shareholders’ equity and debt.
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.
Joint Venture Expands Credit Facility
On April 3, 2020, the Company announced that its Joint Venture had expanded its credit facility with its existing lender to $59,000 including accordion provisions of $20,000. The expanded credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) consists of a $7,500 revolving operating loan (the “Revolver”) and a $12,500 term loan (the “New Term Loan”), in addition to its existing $19,000 term loan (the “Existing Term Loan”). The New Term Loan is specifically designated for the 1.1 million square foot Delta 2 greenhouse while the Existing Term Loan is specifically designated for the 1.1 million square foot Delta 3 greenhouse. The $7,500 Revolver and the $12,500 New Term Loan include an accordion provision that allows the Joint Venture to request additional lender commitments of up to an additional $7,500 and $12,500, respectively, subject to an additional lender entering the syndicate on or before May 30, 2020. Each of the components of the Credit Facility, including the existing term loan, mature on February 7, 2022. As part of this transaction, Village Farms has completed an additional investment in the Joint Venture of $8,000, which reduced the Company’s equity position in the Joint Venture by 1.3% to 41.3%.

An aggregate of 12,500,000 September Warrants were initially issued at an exercise price of $2.00 per Common Share of the Company in connection with a $25,000 convertible debenture financing. The Company amended the exercise price of the September Warrants such that: 6,250,000 September Warrants will have an exercise price of $0.17 per Common Share (the "$0.17 Warrants"). If, at any time prior to the expiry date of the $0.17 Warrants, the closing market price of the Common Shares on the TSXV is greater than $0.2125 for 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may deliver a notice to the holder of the $0.17 Warrants accelerating the expiry date of the $0.17 Warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date of such notice; and 6,250,000 Warrants will have an exercise price of $0.21 per Common Share (the "$0.21 Warrants"). If, at any time prior to the expiry date of the $0.21 Warrants, the closing market price of the Common Shares on the TSXV is greater than $0.2625 for 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may deliver a notice to the holder of the $0.21 Warrants accelerating the expiry date of the $0.21 Warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date of such notice (collectively, the “Warrant Repricing”).
All other provisions of the September Warrants will remain the same and all Warrants will still expire on September 9, 2021. Upon TSXV approval, the holders of the $0.17 Warrants immediately exercised all such warrants for proceeds of $1,063 to the Company.
Sublease and Cultivation Agreements
On May 27, 2020, the Company announced that it had terminated certain related party agreements pertaining to its cannabis cultivation operation in Metro Vancouver. Previously existing rights and continuing usage of the land and its cultivation operation in Metro Vancouver are unaffected by these terminations.
Both the Sublease Agreement and Cultivation Agreement with Sciences, discussed above in Note 10, were previously announced on October 4, 2019. The Company and Sciences agreed not to pursue the transactions contemplated by such agreements and agreed to terminate both the Sublease Agreement and the Cultivation Agreement. The Company has not made any payments to Sciences under either the Sublease Agreement or the Cultivation Agreement. The Company’s previously existing rights related to the 12-acre parcel that was subject to the Sublease Agreement and the Cultivation Agreement are unaffected by these terminations.
Equity Financing
On June 2, 2020, the Company closed a prospectus offering issuing 11,351,351 units at a price of $0.185 per unit for total gross proceeds of $2,100. Each unit consists of one Common Share of the Company and one Common Share purchase warrant. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share of the Company (each a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.27 per Warrant Share for a period of three years.
