2. Basis of preparation
A. Statement of compliance
These condensed interim consolidated 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 annual consolidated financial statements ("annual consolidated financial statements") of the Company for the year ended October 31, 2023 which are available on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca and with the SEC at www.sec.gov.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on September 12, 2024.
B. Basis of measurement
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently by the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries for the periods presented.
C. Currencies and foreign exchange
The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company and its Canadian subsidiaries. The functional currency of the Company’s United States (“U.S.”) subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar (“USD”), of the Company’s European subsidiaries is the Euro (“EUR”), and of the Company’s United Kingdom subsidiaries is the British Pound Sterling (“GBP”). Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated at the rate prevailing at the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate prevailing at each reporting date. Income and expense amounts are translated at the dates of the transactions.
In preparing the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries are translated into Canadian dollars. The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Canadian dollars using exchange rates at the reporting date. Revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars using average foreign exchange rates. Translation gains and losses resulting from the consolidation of operations into the Company’s functional currency, are recognized in other comprehensive income in the condensed interim consolidated statement of income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) and as a separate component of shareholders’ equity on the condensed interim consolidated statement of changes in equity.

5. 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 December 29, 2022, the Company closed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interest of 1171882 B.C. Ltd., operating as Jimmy’s Cannabis Shop BC (“Jimmy’s”) which operates two retail cannabis stores in British Columbia. Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement, the consideration was comprised of 2,595,533 common shares of the Company having an aggregate value of (i) $4,932 in shares and (ii) working capital adjustment of $352.
In accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”), the substance of this transaction constituted a business combination. The purchase price was allocated based on the Company’s estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired on the acquisition date. Management finalized its purchase price allocation for the fair value of identifiable intangible assets, income taxes and the allocation of goodwill. The goodwill is primarily related to the opportunities to grow the business, expanded access to capital and greater financial flexibility. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. For the year ended October 31, 2023, Jimmy accounted for $4,660 in revenues and $203 in net loss.

The Company recognizes call options in accordance with IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements and has recognized NCI in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Consequently, the financial liability is remeasured immediately before the transaction, and is extinguished by payment of the exercise price and the NCI is derecognized against equity. If the put option expires unexercised, the liability is reclassified to the same component of equity that was previously reduced upon initial recognition.

The maximum number of common shares available and reserved for issuance, at anytime, under the Omnibus Plan, together with any other security-based compensation arrangements adopted by the Company, including the Predecessor Plans, has been fixed at 20% of the issued and outstanding common shares as at June 2, 2022. The maximum share options that can be issued is 12,617,734 Common Shares.

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. It is the Company's intention for the stock options it grants to generally vest one-fourth on each of the first, second, third and fourth, six-month anniversaries of the grant date. All options that are outstanding will expire upon maturity, or earlier, if the optionee ceases to be a director, officer, employee or consultant. The maximum exercise period of an option shall not exceed 10 years from the grant date.

22. Financial Instruments and risk management
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. The Company is exposed to credit, liquidity, interest and market risk due to holding certain financial instruments. This note presents information about changes to the Company’s exposure to each of these risks, its objectives, policies, and processes for measuring and managing risk, and its management of capital during the year. Further quantitative disclosure is included throughout these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. 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.
(a) Fair value
The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
| | | | | |
| High Tide Inc. |
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements |
For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023 |
(Unaudited — In thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts) |
-Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
-Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
-Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
The Company assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value:
-Marketable securities are determined based on level 1 inputs, as the prices for the marketable securities are quoted in public exchanges.
-The Convertible debentures are evaluated by the Company based on level 2 inputs such as the effective interest rate and the market rates of comparable securities. The convertible debentures are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost and at each reporting period accretion incurred in the period is recorded to transaction costs in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
(b) 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. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value (net of allowances) of the financial assets. The objective of managing credit risk is to prevent losses on financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of counterparties, considering their financial position, past experience, and other factors. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances. Credit risk associated with cash is minimized substantially by ensuring that these financial assets are held in highly rated financial institutions. The Company holds all cash and cash equivalents with large commercial banks or credit unions, which minimizes credit risk.
The following table sets forth details of the aging profile of accounts receivable and the allowance for expected credit loss:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
As at | | July 31, 2024 | | October 31, 2023 |
| | $ | | $ |
Current (for less than 30 days) | | 2,034 | | 2,449 |
31 – 60 days | | – | | 1,234 |
61 – 90 days | | 62 | | 934 |
Greater than 90 days | | 763 | | 3,390 |
Less allowance | | (222) | | (536) |
| | 2,637 | | 7,471 |
Accounts receivable consist primarily of accounts receivable from invoicing for products and services rendered. The Company’s credit risk arises from the possibility that a customer which owes the Company money is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions in the contracts with the Company, which would result in a financial loss for the Company. This risk is mitigated through established credit management techniques, including monitoring customer’s creditworthiness, setting exposure limits and monitoring exposure against these customer credit limits.
For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024 $96 and $98 (three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 $565 and $685) respectively in trade receivables were written off against the loss allowance due to bad debts and $773 (2023 - nil) was written off directly to bad debts. 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.

(c) 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’s objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient readily available reserves in order to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. The Company generally relies on funds generated from operations, equity and debt financing 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. The Company’s ability to manage its liquidity risk going forward will require some or all of the following: the ability to generate positive cash flows from operations and to secure capital or credit facilities on reasonable terms.
Maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Contractual Cash Flows | | Less than one year | | 1-3 years | | 4-5 years | | Greater than 5 years |

Balance, July 31, 2024 | | 93,795 | | 52,456 | | 19,893 | | 14,371 | | 7,075 |
(d) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in the market interest rate related primarily to the Company’s current credit facility with variable interest rates.
At July 31, 2024, approximately 49% of the Company’s borrowings are at a fixed rate of interest (October 31, 2023: 45%).
Assuming all other variables remain constant, a fluctuation of +/- 1.0 percent in the interest rate would impact the interest payment by approximately +/- $137 (October 31, 2023: $169).
(e) 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. The Canadian dollar equivalent carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities as at July 31, 2024 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Assuming all other variables remain constant, a fluctuation of +/- 5.0 percent in the exchange rate between USD and the Canadian dollar would impact the carrying value of the net monetary assets by approximately +/- $22 (October 31, 2023 - $55). Maintaining constant variables, a fluctuation of +/- 5.0 percent in the exchange rate between the EUR and the Canadian dollar would impact the carrying value of the net monetary assets by approximately +/- $28 (October 31, 2023 - $15), and a fluctuation of +/- 5.0 percent in the exchange rate between GBP and the Canadian dollar would impact the carrying value of the net monetary assets by approximately +/- $22 (October 31, 2023 - $32). To date, the Company has not entered into financial derivative contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
23. Segmented information
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company changed its reporting segments to reflect its current operating structure. The reporting segments are now being reported in the following two operating segments:
1.Bricks and mortar operations which includes the Company’s Canadian bricks and mortar locations, inclusive of the Canadian warehouse which supports the distribution of accessories and other items to the Canadian stores. In addition, corporate overhead has been allocated to the reporting segment.
2.E-commerce operations which include the Company’s US and international subsidiaries. In addition, corporate overhead has been allocated to the reporting segment.
Corporate costs are allocated to each segment based on percentage of revenue.
These reporting segments of the Company have been identified because they are segments: (a) that engage in business activities from which revenues are earned and expenses are incurred; (b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, identified as the Chief Executive Officer, to make decisions about the resources to be allocated to each segment and assess its performance; and (c) for which discrete financial information is available. In accordance with IFRS 8, the Company has reporting segments which are based on the similarity of goods and services provided and economic characteristics exhibited by the operating segments.
The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended October 31, 2023, included three reporting segments as follows:
1.Retail operations which included both bricks and mortar and e-commerce operations, without the allocation of corporate overhead.
2.Wholesale operations which included the Company's Canadian warehouses.
3.Corporate operations which included all costs associated with the Company’s head office.
The accounting policies used for segment reporting are consistent with the accounting policies used for the preparation of the Company’s annual audited financial statements. The comparative information has been prepared in accordance with the current reporting segments noted above. There have been no changes to the underlying data used to prepare the comparative reporting segments for the prior year.

The Company’s strategy is formulated to maintain a flexible capital structure consistent with the objectives stated above as well to respond to changes in economic conditions and to the risks inherent in its underlying assets. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather promotes year‐over‐year sustainable profitable growth. The Company’s capital structure consists of equity and working capital. To maintain or alter the capital structure, the Company may adjust capital spending, take on new debt and issue share capital. The Company anticipates that it will have adequate liquidity to fund future working capital, commitments, and forecasted capital expenditures through a combination of cash flow, cash‐on‐hand and financings as required.

The company is in the process of finalizing the details of the acquisition. Under IFRS 3, if the acquisition date of a business combination is after the end of the reporting period, but prior to the publication of the consolidated financial statements, the Company must provide the information required by IFRS 3 unless the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete. Due to the short time period between the closing of the acquisition date and the publication of these consolidated financial statements, the allocation of the purchase price has not been provided because that information has not yet been finalized.
