1. Nature of Operations
High Tide Inc. (the "Company" or "High Tide") is a retail-focused cannabis company enhanced by the manufacturing and distribution of consumption accessories. The Company's shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "HITI"(listed as of June 2, 2021), the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the symbol "HITI", and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange ("FSE") under the securities identification code 'WKN: A2PBPS' and the ticker symbol "2LYA". The address of the Company's corporate and registered office is # 120 - 4954 Richard Road SW, Calgary, Alberta T3E 6L1.
High Tide does not engage in any U.S. cannabis-related activities as defined by the Canadian Securities Administrators Staff Notice 51-352.
COVID-19
The Company's business could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of the recent outbreak of novel coronavirus ("COVID-19"). Several significant measures have been implemented in Canada and the rest of the world in response to the increased impact from COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on third parties' ability to meet their obligations with the Company, including due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In particular, the continued spread of COVID-19 globally could materially and adversely impact the Company's business including without limitation, employee health, workplace productivity, and other factors that will depend on future developments beyond the Company's control. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries resulting in an economic downturn that could negatively impact the Company's financial position, financial performance, cash flows, and its ability to raise capital. Since the initial outset of the pandemic, the Company did not experience a significant decline in sales for most of the operating businesses.
2. Accounting Policies
A. Basis of Preparation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements ("Financial Statements") have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). They are condensed as they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended October 31, 2020 which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
For comparative purposes, the Company has reclassified certain immaterial items on the comparative condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position and the condensed interim consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive income (loss) to conform with current period's presentation.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on June 28, 2021.
B. Use of estimates
The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions in accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year, or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years. Significant judgements, estimates, and assumptions within these condensed interim consolidated financial statements remain the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2020.
3. Business Combinations
In accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations, these transactions meet the definition of a business combination and, accordingly, the assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed have been recorded at their respective estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.

On November 18, 2020, the Company closed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common shares of Meta Growth Corp ("Meta Growth" or "META"). Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement, holders of common shares of META ("META Shares") received 0.824 (the "Exchange Ratio") High Tide Shares for each META Share held. In total, High Tide acquired 237,941,274 META Shares in exchange for 196,063,610 High Tide Shares, resulting in former META shareholders holding approximately 45.0% of the total number of issued and outstanding High Tide Shares.
In accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations ("IFRS 3"), the substance of this transaction constituted a business combination. Management is in the process of gathering the relevant information that existed at the acquisition date to determine the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. As such, the initial purchase price was provisionally allocated based on the Company's estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired on the acquisition date. The values assigned are, therefore, preliminary, and subject to change. Management continues to refine and finalize its purchase price allocation for the fair value of identifiable intangible assets, property plant and equipment, right of use asset, non-controlling interest, income taxes and the allocation of goodwill. The goodwill is primarily related to the opportunities to grow the retail cannabis business, expanded access to capital and greater financial flexibility. For the six months ended April 30, 2021, Meta Growth accounted for $30,110 in revenues and $7,099 in net loss. If the acquisition had been completed on November 1, 2020, the Company estimates it would have recorded an increase of $3,422 in revenues and an increase of $401 in net loss for the six months ended April 30, 2021.

13. Share - Based Compensation
(a) Stock Option Plan:
The Company's stock option plan limits the number of common shares reserved under the plan from exceeding a "rolling maximum" of ten (10%) percent of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares from time to time. The stock options vest at the discretion of the Board of Directors, upon grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. All options that are outstanding will expire upon maturity, or earlier, if the optionee ceases to be a director, officer, employee or consultant or there is a merger, amalgamation or change in control of the Company. The maximum exercise period of an option shall not exceed 10 years from the grant date. Changes in the number of stock options, with their weighted average exercise prices, are summarized below:

16. Financial Instruments and Risk Management
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. The Company is exposed to credit, liquidity, and market risk due to holding certain financial instruments. The Company's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance.
Risk management is carried out by senior management in conjunction with the Board of Directors.
Fair value
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, marketable securities, loans receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, convertible debentures, contingent consideration and derivative liabilities.
IFRS 13 establishes a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs relative to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair values of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 of the hierarchy are determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Fair value of assets and liabilities in Level 2 are determined using inputs other than quoted prices for which all significant outputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Fair value of assets and liabilities in Level 3 are determined based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Accordingly, the Company has categorized its financial instruments carried at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are subject to Level 1 valuation.
The marketable securities have been recorded at fair value based on level 1 inputs and derivative liability have been recorded at fair value based on level 2 inputs. The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying value of the notes payable and convertibile debentures approximate their fair value as they are discounted using a market rate of interest.
Loans receivable are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. The fair value of these assets were estimated on discounted future interest and principal payments using current market interest rates of instruments using similar terms.
Marketable securities
In connection with the Company's acquisition of META on November 18, 2020, the Company acquired 1,350,000 shares of THC Global Group Limited ("THC"). The fair value of the THC shares amounting to $606 has been recognized as a marketable security, based on the trading price of THC's shares. In addition, to this the Company has also recorded $245 in GICs as a marketable security.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises when a party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the counter party by failing to fulfill its obligation. Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, marketable securities and loans receivable. The credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents and restricted marketable securities balances is limited because the counterparties are large commercial banks. The amounts reported for accounts receivable in the statement of consolidated financial position is net of expected credit loss and the net carrying value represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk. Accounts receivable credit exposure is minimized by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties and monitoring the age and balances outstanding on an ongoing basis. Sales to retail customers are required to be settled in cash or using major credit cards, mitigating credit risk.
16. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued)
The following table sets forth details of the aging profile of accounts receivable and the allowance for expected credit loss:
As at | | April 30, 2021 | | | October 31, 2020 | |
| | $ | | | $ | |
Current (for less than 30 days) | | 3,400 | | | 1,822 | |
31 - 60 days | | 386 | | | 246 | |
61 - 90 days | | 298 | | | 202 | |
Greater than 90 days | | 620 | | | 762 | |
Less allowance | | (169 | ) | | (359 | ) |
| | 4,535 | | | 2,673 | |
For the six months ended April 30, 2021, $190 in trade receivables were written off against the loss allowance due to bad debts (year ended October 31, 2020 - $1,280). Individual receivables which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. The remaining accounts receivable are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, and individual creditworthiness of the customer. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into account for the estimated losses of these receivables.
The Company performs a regular assessment of collectability of accounts receivables. In determining the expected credit loss amount, the Company considers the customer's financial position, payment history and economic conditions. For the period ended April 30, 2021, management reviewed the estimates and have not created any additional loss allowances on trade receivable.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company generally relies on funds generated from operations, equity and debt financings to provide sufficient liquidity to meet budgeted operating requirements and to supply capital to expand its operations. The Company continues to seek capital to meet current and future obligations as they come due. Maturities of the Company's financial liabilities are as follows:
| | Contractual cash flows | | | Less than one year | | | 1-5 years | | | Greater than 5 years | |
| | $ | | | $ | | | $ | | | $ | |
October 31, 2020 | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Total | | 36,771 | | | 22,806 | | | 13,965 | | | - | |

Convertible debentures | | 12,590 | | | 3,403 | | | 9,187 | | | - | |
Total | | 41,599 | | | 19,844 | | | 21,755 | | | - | |
Interest rate risk
The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as its interest-bearing financial instruments carry a fixed rate of interest.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is defined as the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company maintains cash balances and enters into transactions denominated in foreign currencies, which exposes the Company to fluctuating balances and cash flows due to variations in foreign exchange rates.
16. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued)
The Canadian dollar equivalent carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities as at April 30, 2021 was as follows:
(Canadian dollar equivalent amounts of US dollar and Euro balances) | | April 30, 2021 (Euro) | | | April 30, 2021 (USD) | | | April 30, 2021 Total | | | October 31, 2020 | |
| | $ | | | $ | | | $ | | | $ | |
Cash | | 380 | | | 17,549 | | | 17,929 | | | 975 | |
Accounts receivable | | - | | | 364 | | | 364 | | | 653 | |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | | (1,132 | ) | | (2,173 | ) | | (3,305 | ) | | (1,728 | ) |
Net monetary assets | | (752 | ) | | 15,740 | | | 14,988 | | | (100 | ) |
Assuming all other variables remain constant, a fluctuation of +/- 5.0 percent in the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Canadian dollar would impact the carrying value of the net monetary assets by approximately +/- $787 (October 31, 2020 - $34). Maintaining constant variables, a fluctuation of +/- 5.0 percent in the exchange rate between the Euro and the Canadian dollar would impact the carrying value of the net monetary assets by approximately +/- $38 (October 31, 2020 - $39). To date, the Company has not entered into financial derivative contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
17. Segmented Information
Segments are identified by management based on the allocation of resources, which is done on a basis of selling channel rather than by legal entity. As such, the Company has established two main segments, being retail and wholesale, with a Corporate segment which includes oversight and start up operations of new entities until such time as revenue generation commences. The reportable segments are managed separately because of the unique characteristics and requirements of each business.
