NOTES TO INTERIM condensed CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED July 31, 2019 |
(Expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated - unaudited) |
1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN |
| |
| C21 Investments Inc. (the “Company” or “C21”) was incorporated January 15, 1987, under the Company Act of British Columbia. The Company is a publicly traded company with its corporate office and its principal place of business is Suite 820, 1075 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. |
| |
| Effective November 24, 2017, the Company changed its name to “C21 Investments Inc.”. On June 15, 2018, the Company’s common shares were delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) at the Company’s request and on June 18, 2018 the Company commenced trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”), completed its change of business to the cannabis industry and commenced trading under the symbol CXXI. The Company registered its Common Shares in the United States and on May 6, 2019, its shares were cleared by FINRA for trading on the OTC Markets platform under the U.S. trading symbol CXXIF. |
| |
| Pursuant to a change of business announced on January 29, 2018 to the Cannabis industry, the Company commenced acquiring and operating revenue-producing cannabis operations in the USA and internationally. |
| |
| On May 12, 2017, the Company consolidated its issued and outstanding shares totaling 19,796,952 on a 10:1 basis. Upon completion of the consolidation, the Company had 1,979,695 post consolidation common shares issued and outstanding. All shares, options, warrants, and per share amount have been retroactively restated to reflect the share consolidation. |
| |
| As at July 31, 2019, the Company operates in two segments, recreational cannabis in Oregon, USA and recreational and medical cannabis in Nevada, USA (Note 16). |
| |
| The Company currently has operations in the recreational cannabis sectors in USA. |
| |
| These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue its operations and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. |
| |
| The Company reports a net loss for the six months to July 31, 2019 of $6,091,855, and accumulated deficit of $42,389,604, and a working capital deficit of $14,712,253 as at July 31, 2019. In mid-July the Company accelerated a restructuring and integration of operations that will result in over $5M in annual run rate savings. While these efforts have resulted in positive cash flow from operations, they will not be sufficient on their own to fund payments on the short-term debt obligations owing to the Company’s CEO (Note 11). These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Historically, management has been successful in obtaining adequate funding for operating and capital requirements. The Company takes a disciplined approach to financing and intends to protect shareholder value by raising capital strategically. The Company is assessing various opportunities for additional financing through either debt or equity to be used to satisfy current obligations, for corporate working capital and possible future acquisitions. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to secure financing on acceptable terms or at all to cover its current obligations. |
| |
| In the United States, 34 states, the District of Columbia, and four U.S. territories allow the use of medical cannabis. Alaska, California, Colorado, Illinois Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Vermont, and the District of Columbia legalized the sale and adult-use of recreational cannabis. |

1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN (CONTINUED) |
| |
| At the federal level, however, cannabis currently remains a Schedule I controlled substance under the Federal Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (“Federal CSA”). Under U.S. federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the United States, and a lack of accepted safety for the use of the drug under medical supervision. As such, even in those states in which marijuana is legalized under state law, the manufacture, importation, possession, use or distribution of cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law. This has created a dichotomy between state and federal law, whereby many states have elected to regulate and remove state-level penalties regarding a substance which is still illegal at the federal level. |
| |
| There remains uncertainty about the US federal government’s position on cannabis with respect to cannabis- legal states. A change in its enforcement policies could impact the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. |

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies applied in preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2019, except for the following:Effective for February 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRIC Interpretation 23 -Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (“IFRIC 23”). IFRIC 23 clarifies application of recognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12 -Income Taxes when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. IFRIC 23 specifically addresses the following: (i) whether the Company considers uncertain tax treatments separately; (ii) the assumptions the Company makes concerning the examination of tax treatments by relevant tax authorities; (iii) how the Company determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates; and, (iv) how the Company considers changes in facts and circumstances. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company has applied IFRIC 23 retrospectively on adoption and determined that it is probable that the relevant tax authorities would accept the tax treatments and positions used in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. IFRIC 23 did not impact the Company’s classification and measurement of deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities and thus opening equity of the Company was not restated. Based on the Company’s assessment, the adoption of IFRIC 23 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements for the six months ended July 31, 2019. Effective July 1, 2019 the Company has begun utilizing the Nevada Department of Taxation (“NDOT”) determined wholesale fair market value for the period of future sales in order to calculate the expected selling price of its biological assets at its Nevada operations. Previously, the Company relied on observational inputs in the Nevada market, but the Company believes the NDOT observed values are more consistent and has observed peer issuers adopting the same valuation input.

5. | BIOLOGICAL ASSETS |
| |
| The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants. The continuity for biological assets for the period ended July 31, 2019, was as follows: |

| Acquired biological assets | | 75,499 | |
| Fair value adjustment on biological assets | | 1,811,682 | |
| Increase in biological assets due to capitalized costs | | 4,695,038 | |
| Transferred to inventory upon harvest | | (6,562,445 | ) |
| Balance, July 31, 2019 | $ | 1,890,314 | |
Biological assets are valued in accordance with IAS 41 –Agriculture (“IAS 41”) and are presented at their fair values less costs to sell up to the point of harvest. The Company’s biological assets are primarily cannabis plants, and because there is no actively traded commodity market for plants or dried product, the valuation of these biological assets is obtained using valuation techniques where the inputs are based upon unobservable market data (Level 3).
The valuation of biological assets is based on a market approach where fair value at the point of harvest is estimated based on selling prices less the costs to sell at harvest. For in process biological assets, the fair value at point of harvest is adjusted based on the stage of growth. As at July 31, 2019, on average, the biological assets were 55% complete as to the next expected harvest date.
The significant unobservable inputs and their range of values are noted in the table below:
| | | | | Effect on Fair Value as of July 31: | |
| Significant Inputs and | | | | | | | | |
| Assumptions | Range of Inputs | Sensitivity | | 2019 | | | 2018 | |
| Selling Price Per | $ 0.13 to $3.87 | Increase 5% | $ | 103,561 | | | 12,116 | |
| Gram | | Decrease 5% | $ | (103,561 | ) | | (12,116 | ) |
| Estimated Yield Per | 54.07 to 1,983.93 grams | Increase 5% | $ | 94,516 | | | 9,231 | |
| Cannabis Plant | | Decrease 5% | $ | (94,516 | ) | | (9,231 | ) |
During thesix-month period ended July 31, 2019, the Company’s biological assets produced 1,918,526 grams (2018 –171,356 grams).

19. | FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT |
| |
| The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows: |
| |
| Credit risk |
| |
| Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash held in bank accounts, accounts receivable, and its notes receivable from acquisition targets. The Company’s cash is deposited in bank accounts held with a major bank in Canada, a trust company in Canada, and two credit unions in Oregon and Colorado; and accordingly, there is a concentration of credit risk. This risk is managed by using a major bank that is a high credit quality financial institution as determined by rating agencies. |
| |
| Liquidity risk |
| |
| Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's ability to raise required funding through future equity or debt issuances. 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. |
| |
| Interest rate risk |
| |
| Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not subject to any interest rate volatility as its long-term debt instruments and convertible notes are carried at a fixed interest rate throughout their term. |
| |
| Foreign currency risk |
| |
| The Company has administration in Canada and operations in the U.S. and is exposed to foreign exchange risk due to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar. Foreign exchange risk arises from financial assets and liabilities denominated in currency other than the U.S. dollar. A change of 10% in the CAD/USD exchange rate would impact loss and comprehensive loss by $102,000. |
| |
| Capital Management |
| |
| The Company’s objectives when managing its capital are to ensure there are sufficient capital resources to continue operating as a going concern and maintain the Company’s ability to ensure sufficient levels of funding to support its ongoing operations and development. The purpose of these objectives is to provide continued returns and benefits to the Company’s shareholders. The Company’s capital structure includes items classified in debt and shareholders’ equity (deficiency). |

(Expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated - unaudited) |
19. | FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) |
| |
| The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business considering changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the Company’s underlying assets. |
| |
| As of July 31, 2019, the Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements, with the exception of restricted cash posted as a deposit (Note 3). |
| |
| Fair value |
| |
| The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities approximates the carrying amount. |
| |
| Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value 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 that are not based on observable market data. |
| The Company’s financial instruments include cash, restricted cash, receivables, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and convertible notes with a fair value measured at Level 1 hierarchy for cash. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Derivative liabilities are measured at Level 3 hierarchy. |

21. | TAXATION |
| |
| The Company reconciles the expected tax expense at the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% to the amount recognized in the statement of loss. |
| |
| Since the Company operates in the United States cannabis industry, the Company is subject to U.S. Internal Revenue Code section 280E for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and therefore, is subject to the disallowance of ordinary and necessary business deductions for income tax purposes pursuant to section 280E. Consequently, the Company is only allowed to deduct 1) direct production costs and indirect production costs incident to and necessary for production and 2) costs incurred to purchase goods that are resold, including transportation or other necessary charges incurred in acquiring possession of the goods. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC section 280E. However, the State of Oregon does not conform to IRC section 280E and thus the Company deducts all operating expenses on its Oregon corporate tax return. Additionally, the State of Nevada does not assess income tax and therefore no income tax provision for Nevada has been calculated. |

A complaint was filed in the Oregon State Circuit Court for Clackamas County, on April 29, 2019, by two current owners of Proudest Monkey Holdings, LLC (the former sole member of EFF) (the “Plaintiffs”), alleging contract, employment, and statutory claims with an amount in controversy of $1,837,500 against the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries 320204 US Holdings Corp, EFF, Swell Companies Limited, and Phantom Brands LLC, in addition to three directors, two officers, and one former employee. The Company and the other defendants wholly deny the allegations and claims made in the lawsuit and is defending and may counterclaim through the lawsuit. As a procedural update, the Company has filed an Oregon Rule of Civil Procedure (ORCP) 21 motion to dismiss all of the Plaintiffs’ claims against it, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and other defendants; the Rule 21 motions are pending before the court. Further, the Company’s recent internal investigation, findings and self-reporting of actions and alleged malfeasance by the Plaintiffs at the EFF facility (discussed more fully below under Oregon Compliance) should serve to bolster the Company’s defense and potential counterclaims in the litigation. Given that this legal proceeding is in a premature stage and the Company wholly denies the claims, no provision was recorded.
On or about May 30, 2019, Wallace Hill filed a civil claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia alleging breach of contract and entitlement to 1,800,000 common shares of the Company, fully vested by March 1, 2019, and damages due to the lost opportunity to sell those shares after such date for a profit. On June 23, 2019, the Company circulated a letter to Wallace Hill terminating the agreement and accepting Wallace Hill’s repudiation of the agreement based on Wallace Hill’s previously published defamatory comments and termination of the agreement. Also, on June 23, 2019, the Company filed its response to the civil claim denying all claims and filed counterclaims alleging breach of contract, a declaratory judgment of termination of the agreement, defamation and an injunction from further defamatory comments. The civil action is pending, and it is too early to predict its resolution.
On September 3, 2019, the Company finalized an agreement with the former owners Swell Companies Limited (the “Swell Vendors”) to amend the terms of the Company’s forward-cash obligations to the Swell Vendors. Pursuant to the terms of the amended agreement: (a) the cash sum due to the Swell Vendors through September 2019 under the original agreement, in the amount of $850,000, will be paid by the Company on or before November 15, 2019; and (b) the sum of $7,350,000 due to the Swell Vendors on May 24, 2021 under the original agreement (vii above), including the Swell Vendors’ option to receive $5m of such sum in cash, will be satisfied in full by the issuance of 7,015,238 common shares of C21 at a deemed issue price of $1.047 per share. The shares were issued into escrow and will be released as follows: (a) twenty-five percent (25%) four-months-and-a-day from the date of issue; and (b) the remainder of the shares in three equal instalments of one-third every four months thereafter.
On August 23, 2019 the Company announced it had been upgraded to the OTCQB® Venture Market.
