Dividends

There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year.

Principal activities

The principal activities of the Group during the year consisted of cultivation of medicinal cannabis for both medicinal and research purposes pursuant to the licences and permits issued to the Group; the development and manufacture (via third party arrangements) of finished product formulations; and the pursuit and execution of various supply agreements with third parties.

Review of operations

The 30 June 2021 financial year ("FY21") was a period of significant investment to support Cann’s business and growth objectives. Substantial progress was achieved in relation to the development and acquisition of assets that are expected to generate value for shareholders over coming years. This included ongoing work on the Company’s new cultivation and manufacturing facility at Mildura and the purchase of the Satipharm business, providing a proprietary platform for new product development and expansion into markets around the world.

The Company is seeking to establish and maintain a leadership position in Australia and to be a major producer and supplier to international markets, with a globally cost-competitive position and a strong pipeline of proprietary, differentiated products.

Cann Group Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021

==> picture [87 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

The Company’s growth strategy is underpinned by four pillars:

  1. Completion of a world-class cultivation and manufacturing facility at Mildura, providing scale and price competitive medicinal

  2. cannabis product for local and international markets.

  3. Control and ownership of production supply chain by installing testing, extraction and manufacturing capabilities at the Mildura facility.

  4. Integration and expansion of the Satipharm business and its patented GelPell technology to produce a differentiated product for global markets.

  5. Leadership and investment in research and development initiatives to create more efficacious and differentiated products.

Cann’s FY21 growth strategy was to progress the funding and construction of the Mildura facility, integrate the acquisition of the Satipharm business and complete shipments to international markets. The Directors believe that the achievements of FY21 demonstrated that this strategy was well implemented – generating breakthrough sales into European and Australian customers, progressing to the start of commissioning the Mildura facility, and successfully acquiring and integrating the Satipharm business, all whilst navigating through COVID-19.

The loss for the Group after providing for income tax was $25.10 million for the year ended 30 June 2021 (2020: $16.94 million).

The Group’s basic and diluted loss per share is $0.097 or 9.75 cents (2020: $0.1191 or 11.91 cents).

The Weighted Average number of Shares used to calculate the basic and diluted earnings per share is 257,388,229 (2020: 142,187,418).

The net assets of the Group are $91.87 million as at 30 June 2021 (2020: $61.07 million).

Production and sales

Sales revenue increased by $3.64 million to $4.29 million for the year ended 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: $0.65 million)

Cultivation at the Company’s Southern facility was unaffected by COVID-19 restrictions as the medicinal cannabis industry is classified as an essential service. The Company was able to continue harvesting and then utilise third party manufacturers to process raw material into various stages of resin, oils and finished product. The largest impact that COVID-19 has had on the business is through significant delays in various licensing and permitting processes that had to be met in order to ship product offshore.

Timelines have extended in relation to international regulatory submissions to open pathways for market release, and third-party manufacturing and starting material supplier issues (as announced on 29 April 2021) have both caused delays in shipping product to Cann’s customers. These delays are temporary, and a clearer path to revenue receipts is anticipated following the initial shipments to Cann’s local and export customers.

A strategic alliance was established with iuvo Therapeutics Limited (“iuvo”) in Germany and some 20,000 bottles of cannabis extract have been shipped to iuvo during the reporting period. Those products have been GMP-released for sale in the German market and early indications with respect to sales by iuvo are promising. Despite regulatory delays due to COVID-19 the Company was also able to ship product to the Lyphe Group UK.

Supply agreements in the Australian market accelerated in the second half of the year. Contracts are now in place with multiple domestic B2B clients and first orders have been completed and shipped to all of them.

Mildura facility

Work recommenced on site at Mildura, as Qanstruct (principal contractor) returned to site in late February. The Dutch specialist contractors (with particular expertise in the construction of glasshouses) arrived on site in early-mid March and commenced planning and works with Qanstruct.

The analytical lab is completed and now undergoing commissioning. Completing the analytical lab is expected to save the Company considerable time delays and costs.

Cann Group Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021

==> picture [87 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

During the year, the Company determined to add large-scale extraction and Gelpell manufacturing capability to the Mildura facility. The extraction facility will allow for the dried cannabis flower to undergo extraction to a concentrated viscous extract, or ‘resin’, for further processing. The addition of a cannabis extraction capability to the manufacturing facility will provide the Company with endto-end direct control of its supply chain and manufacturing requirements and will significantly lower manufacturing costs. Estimated cost savings of $23 million (compared to current external cost base) are expected to be achieved by bringing this in-house when running at full capacity of 12,500kg. Pilot scale extraction equipment is scheduled to be installed and ready for Office of Drug Control (ODC) inspection (anticipated to occur in September) with cGMP qualification, inspection and certification expected to be complete by the end of 2021. Large scale extraction equipment is scheduled to be installed in November, with cGMP certification expected to occur a month or two after.

The installation of the Gelpell manufacturing line at Mildura is expected to save considerable time and costs. Extracted resin will be further processed into the patented micro-encapsulation form and in-house packaged, reducing the requirement to be manufactured at the Gelpell facility in Switzerland, resulting in an estimated 60% reduction in COGS for the Satipharm product. A pilot-scale Gelpell manufacturing line is expected to be installed, and qualification commenced, in October with the full-scale facility following in 2022.

The cultivation facility is expected to commence commissioning in the coming months with the first mother plants expected to arrive on site from Cann’s Southern facility before the end of 2021. The Company expects to have the first stage of the Mildura facility fully commissioned in the first half of 2021, with subsequent ramp-up to an annual capacity of 12,500kg of raw flower.

During the period, the Company received licences issued under the Narcotics Drug Act in respect of the new Mildura facility. The licences relate to the research, cultivation, production, manufacturing, packaging, storage, transport, and disposal of medicinal cannabis in final dose and intermediate forms. Cann will apply for a permit to cultivate once the finaI inspection of the completed facility has been conducted by the ODC.

Research and development

Cann has an ongoing collaboration with Agriculture Victoria to develop novel genetics using accelerated breeding with Cann's existing genetics. Phenotypic trials have progressed with new genetics grown from seed. Genotypic analysis of the new lines has commenced and chemotypic analysis of the flowers is now underway. This data will be used to design a breeding plan that will lead to new lines with improved yields of cannabinoids and buds. Cann has also validated results from experiments performed by the NSW Department of Primary Industries to improve root production in a key cannabis cultivar. The improvement will now be transferred to Cann's commercial operations.

In March 2021, it was announced that Cann is partnering with the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute (ONJCRI), the La Trobe School of Cancer Medicine, and Austin Health, in a clinical trial to assess medicinal cannabis for symptom management in people with advanced cancer. The Phase I trial commenced in late September 2020 and trial outcomes are currently being reviewed, with patients having tolerated the treatment well, to date.

Phase I of the trial is focused on the titration and safety of administering this new formulation of medicinal cannabis in a controlled manner. Should the Phase I study demonstrate safety and tolerability of the drug, Phase II (a double blind, randomised, placebocontrolled trial) will see the enrolment of 108 participants with advanced cancers, subject to meeting trial specific eligibility criteria. The Phase II study will evaluate the efficacy of the drug by assessing global Quality of Life in these participants, as well as other domains including pain, anorexia, nausea, anxiety and sleep. For the purpose of these studies, Cann is supplying a locally grown and cultivated full spectrum cannabis extract that contains both cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) formulated into an oil that is taken up to three times a day.

In addition to the ONJCRI trial, Cann is also supporting a first of its kind study into severe Tourette’s syndrome in children, which will be undertaken by the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute located at Melbourne's Royal Children’s Hospital.

Cann Group has its corporate office within the Research and Innovation precinct at La Trobe University, and is the lead commercial partner in the $24 million La Trobe-led Australian Research Council (ARC) Industry Transformation Research Hub for Medicinal Agriculture (ARC MedAg Hub). The Hub combines academic and industry research and expertise to drive better cultivation, breeding and manufacturing practises to support Australia’s medicinal agriculture industry and ultimately improve health outcomes for patients.

Funding

A funding package for the first stage development of the Mildura facility was finalised during the year involving both debt and equity.

In August 2020 the Company raised $40.2 million by way of an institutional placement of $14.3 million and Share Purchase Plan of $25.9 million. The Company received very strong support from investors and all shares were issued at a price of $0.40 each.

In December 2020, the Company executed a debt facility of up to $50 million from the National Australia Bank for the construction of the Mildura project. The debt facility is a standard form construction draw-down facility, which converts to a loan amortising over 8 years. The base interest rate will be the Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate (BBSY), a drawn margin rate of 3.20% p.a. and a facility fee of 1.80% p.a.

Acquisition of the Satipharm business

On 10 March 2021, the Company announced the completion of an all-scrip acquisition of the Satipharm business from Harvest One for a total consideration of CAD$3.25 million, including deferred consideration of up to CAD$0.75 million. The initial payment of CAD$2.5 million was completed by the issue of 4,278,615 new fully-paid ordinary shares in Cann at an issue price of $0.602.

The acquisition of Satipharm gives the Company a differentiated product to offer the market. It includes exclusive use of the patented Gelpell manufacturing technique for cannabinoids that uses a micro-encapsulation technique that embeds the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in small spheres, which are encapsulated inside a gut resistant hard-shell capsule. This allows the API to bypass the stomach acids and minimises first-pass metabolism in the liver that can destroy up to 95% of the cannabinoids before reaching the blood stream. The Gelpell process has been shown to be over three times more effective at getting cannabinoids into the blood stream compared to using standard oil-based formulations. The Gelpell delivery system also protects the API from deterioration from light, temperature and oxygen resulting in longer shelf life.

An existing Satipharm low CBD product is already sold in the UK through large pharmacy chains where CBD products are classified as wellness products not requiring a doctor’s prescription. The Company expects to see sales of the product in this market accelerate with extra marketing support provided by Cann.

Application for S3 registration of Satipharm CBD capsules

In February 2021, the Australian Government’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) announced its decision to down-schedule certain low-dose CBD preparations from Schedule 4 (Prescription Medicine) to Schedule 3 (Pharmacist Only Medicine). Capitalising on Cann’s Satipharm products, Cann is seeking to be one of the first companies to apply for the registration of a low-dose, CBD only capsule as a Schedule 3 product. Cann anticipates there will be a large patient demand for a TGA registered CBD medicine that is convenient to patients and demonstrates the highest standards of quality, safety and efficacy.

COVID-related impacts

Throughout the year ended 30 June 2021 and to the date of this report, both the Australian and Global economies have experienced disruption related to COVID-19 triggered lockdowns and restrictions. The Group has not experienced a significant impact on its cultivation operations, however, COVID has had an impact on the timing of sales (with COVID-related delays affecting regulatory clearances) and on the logistics for sourcing overseas personnel with expertise in glasshouse construction for the Company’s Mildura facility.

The Group did not receive any Government subsidies by way of Job Keeper.

The Group continues to manage its operations to navigate through the uncertainty that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought and will continue to adapt to address any further challenges which may arise.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

On 17 July 2020, the Company announced Ms Jenni Pilcher was appointed to the Board of Directors subject to clearance by the Office of Drug Control. The appointment became effective on 8 September 2020.

On 23 July 2020, the Company issued 32,953,920 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.40 per share pursuant to an institutional placement of shares.

On 28 January 2021, the Company issued 306,846 fully paid ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of CANAF options with an exercise price of $0.46 and an expiry date of 31 March 2022.

On 8 February 2021, the Company announced a cyber security incident in respect of $3.6 million in payments intended for an overseas contractor in relation to works to be undertaken at the Mildura facility being unlawfully received by an unknown third party.

On 29 March 2021, the Company announced the commencement of civil proceedings in the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region against a third-party defendant Er Ya Trade Ltd (the defendant) seeking recovery of EURO 2.25 million, the amount subject to the aforementioned cyber security incident. An injunction was granted to freeze certain of the defendant's assets and compel disclosure of ancillary information relating to assets held by it. On 9 July 2021, Cann announced that it had received $1.2 million in connection with those court proceedings.

On 19 February 2021, the Company issued 113,157 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.57 per share as consideration for services provided during the December 2020 quarter by the CSIRO to the Company under a Research Services Umbrella Agreement.

On 19 February 2021, the Company issued 3,070,791 fully paid ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of options with an exercise price of $0.46 and an expiry date of 31 March 2022. The options had been issued by the Company following the conversion of convertible notes issued on 11 February 2020 into shares.

On 10 March 2021, the Company announced the completion of an all-scrip acquisition of the Satipharm business from Harvest One for a total consideration of CAD$3.25 million, including deferred contingent consideration of up to CAD$0.75 million. The initial payment of CAD$2.5 million was completed by the issue of 4,278,615 new fully paid ordinary shares in Cann at $0.602.

The deferred contingent consideration of up to CAD$0.75 million is payable through the issuance of further new Cann ordinary shares or cash (at Cann's discretion), subject to the satisfaction of the:

  • CAD$0.750 million following delivery of the Gelpell Manufacturing Equipment in accordance with the required specifications and satisfactory working conditions to Cann’s nominated facility in Australia;

  • first earn out payment of up to CAD$0.250 million linked to an agreed Revenue of the Satipharm business for the 6 months to 30 June 2021 set out in the transaction document – if the actual Revenue for the 6 months to 30 June 2021 is below the agreed Revenue for that period, the first earn out payment will be effectively reduced to an amount equal to an agreed fraction of the actual Revenue for that period set out in the transaction document;

  • second earn out payment of up to CAD$0.250 million linked to Gross Profit of the Satipharm business for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 set out in the transaction document – if the actual Gross Profit for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 is below the agreed Gross Profit for that period, the second earn out payment will be effectively reduced to an amount equal to an agreed multiple of the actual Gross Profit for that period set out in the transaction document;

  • third earn out payment payable of up to CAD$0.250 million linked to an agreed EBITDA loss of the Satipharm business for the 6 months to 30 June 2021 set out in the transaction document – if the actual EBITDA loss for the 6 months to 30 June 2021 is greater than the agreed EBITDA loss for that period, the third earn out payment will be effectively reduced by CAD$1 for every CAD$1 that the actual EBITDA loss for that period is greater than the agreed EBITDA loss for that period.

If the deferred contingent consideration above is settled in shares, the 30 day VWAP prior to delivery of Gelpell manufacturing equipment and 30 day VWAP prior to 30 June 2021 for the three earnout clauses shall be applied in determining the number of fully paid ordinary shares to be issued.

On the acquisition date, management assessed that the hurdles would not be met and accordingly no liability was recorded in the accounts for the deferred contingent consideration.

In note 24 the Group has disclosed a capital commitment in respect of the delivery of the Gelpell Manufacturing Equipment in accordance with the required specifications and satisfactory working conditions to Cann’s Mildura facility in Australia, settlement of which may be performed in shares. If the commitment is settled in shares, the number and deemed price of fully paid ordinary shares to be issued will be determined on the basis of the 30 day VWAP prior to the delivery of the Gelpell manufacturing equipment.

On 27 April 2021, Mr John Sharman was appointed to the Board of Directors, the appointment taking effect immediately.

Cann Group Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021

==> picture [87 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

On 14 May 2021, the Company issued 67,543 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.57 per share as consideration for services provided during the March 2021 quarter by the CSIRO to the Company under a Research Services Umbrella Agreement.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year.

Future developments, prospects and business strategies

Other than matters referred to elsewhere in this report and above, further information as to likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of operations have not been included in this report as the Directors believe it would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

Environmental regulation

The Group's operations comply with all relevant environmental standards and regulations.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

The Group announced on 26 July an institutional placement (Placement) and a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) (which will be subject to shareholder approval) to raise a total of $20 million (Capital Raising) at a price of $0.275 per fully paid ordinary share. The proceeds from the Capital Raising will be used to invest in initiatives which are expected to deliver substantial cost savings as the Group moves to large scale production with the commissioning of its new manufacturing facility near Mildura. Funding will be used to expedite and strengthen its in-house extraction, laboratory and manufacturing capabilities, which are expected to de-risk the Group's supply chain and lower COGS by reducing the Group's reliance on third party manufacturers and service providers. $8.9 million of the first tranche has been received by the Group on 2 of August 2021. Receipt of the remaining funds from the Placement relate to the proposed issue of shares under the Placement to Directors and related entities, which requires shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. A meeting of shareholders is scheduled to occur on 7 September 2021.

Proceeds of the Capital Raising will also be used to expand and grow the Satipharm business, including fast-tracking the preparation of applications to register Satipharm’s low-dose CBD capsules on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods classed as Schedule 3 (Pharmacist Only Medicine). Satipharm's low-dose CBD capsules incorporate proprietary “Gelpell” technology and access a significant market opportunity.

On 9 July 2021, Cann announced that it had received $1.2 million in connection with those court proceedings regarding the cybercrime court action announced to the market on 29 March 2021.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

Remuneration philosophy

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board on remuneration policies and packages applicable to Directors, the CEO and other Key Management Personnel and consists of three of the six members of the Board. The Remuneration Committee is subject to the Company’s Remuneration Policy, with that policy having the objectives to provide a competitive, benchmarked and flexible structure, being tailored to the specific circumstances of the Company and which reflect the person’s duties and responsibilities so as to attract, motivate and retain people of the appropriate quality.

The Company’s Remuneration Policy is reviewed at least once a year and is subject to amendment to ensure it reflects best market practice. Remuneration levels are competitively set to attract appropriately qualified and experienced Directors and executives. The Remuneration Committee obtains market data on remuneration levels. The remuneration packages of the Chief Executive Officer and ‑ Senior Executives may include a short term incentive component that is based on specific Company goals pertaining to financial and operational performance. The Chief Executive Officer and Senior Executives may also be invited to participate in the Company’s ‑ Long term Incentive Plan, the benefits of which are conditional upon the Company achieving certain performance criteria, the details of which are outlined below.

In accordance with the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, the structure of Non ‑ executive Director remuneration is separate from executive remuneration.

Relationship between the Remuneration Policy and Company performance

Currently, the consolidated entity assesses its performance from achievement of operational goals and shareholder value. The ‑ ‑ performance measures for both the Company’s Short term Incentive Plan (STI Plan) and Long term Incentive Plan (LTI Plan) will be ‑ tailored to align at risk remuneration and performance hurdle thresholds to the delivery of operational and future financial objectives and sustained shareholder value growth.

Components of remuneration – Nonexecutive Directors

The Constitution of the Company and the ASX Listing Rules require that the aggregate remuneration of non ‑ executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a resolution approved by shareholders at a general meeting. Currently the aggregate remuneration threshold is set at $500,000 per annum as approved by shareholders at the AGM held on 14 November 2018. Legislated superannuation conditions made on behalf of non ‑ executive Directors are included within the aggregate remuneration threshold.

Non ‑ executive Directors receive a cash fee for their service and have no entitlement to any performance ‑ based remuneration or any ‑ ‑ participation in any share based incentive schemes. Presently no additional fee is paid to non executive Directors for being a member of any Board committees.

‑ Fees payable to the non executive Directors for the 2021 financial year inclusive of superannuation contributions were as follows:

$
Chairman 120,000
Non-executive Directors 60,000
Chair of Audit and Risk Committee (in addition to Non-executive Director fee)
15,000

Components of remuneration – Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives

(a) Structure

The Company aims to reward the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group, so as to:

  • reward them for Company and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks and key performance indicators;

  • align their interest with those of shareholders; and

  • ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

Remuneration consists of both fixed and variable remuneration components. The variable remuneration consists of the STI Plan and the LTI Plan.

The proportion of fixed and variable remuneration is established for the Chief Executive Officer by the Board and for each Senior Executive by the Board following recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer and the Remuneration Committee.

The Chief Executive Officer’s and Senior Executives’ remuneration packages are all subject to Board approval.

(b) Fixed remuneration

The fixed remuneration component of the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Executives’ total remuneration package is expressed as a total package consisting of base salary and statutory superannuation contributions.

Fixed remuneration reflects the complexity of the individual’s role and their experience, knowledge and performance. Internal and external benchmarking is regularly undertaken, and fixed remuneration levels are set with regard to the external market median, with scope for incremental increase for superior performance.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually, taking into account the performance of the individual and the Group. There are no guaranteed increases to fixed remuneration in any contracts of employment.

The Chief Executive Officer and Senior Executives have the option to receive their fixed annual remuneration in cash and a limited range of prescribed fringe benefits. The total cost of any remuneration package, including fringe benefits tax, is taken into account in determining an employee’s fixed annual remuneration.

(c) Variable remuneration – STI Plan

The STI Plan component of an Executive’s total remuneration is an annual cash incentive plan. The STI Plan links a portion of executive remuneration opportunity to specific financial and non ‑ financial measures.

From a governance perspective, all performance measures under the STI Plan must be clearly defined and measurable. The Remuneration Committee approves the targets and assesses the performance outcome of the Chief Executive Officer. The Board and the Chief Executive Officer set the targets and assess the performance of Senior Executives. The Board approves STI Plan payments for the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Executives. Under the STI Plan, the Board has discretion to adjust STI Plan outcomes based on the achievements which are consistent with the Group’s strategic priorities and, in the opinion of the Board, enhance shareholder value.

One hundred percent (100%) of awarded STI is paid in cash at a time determined by the Board, however for future years the timing will ‑ be upon Board approval of the audited year end accounts. In future years the financial performance measures will be assessed and, for ‑ the Executives to qualify for a payment of an STI, a pre agreed level of Group profit must first be achieved. Once this has been achieved, the level of payment the Executive receives is determined based on the achievement of their pre ‑ determined financial and non ‑ financial measures.

For the financial year ended 30 June 2021, required performance achievements for the STI Plan were not obtained and therefore no STI payments were awarded.

==> picture [87 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

(d) Variable remuneration- LTI Plan

The long-term incentive plan (LTI Plan) component of an Executive’s total remuneration is based on performance-based rights over the ordinary shares of the Company. The LTI Plan links a portion of executive remuneration opportunity to specific financial and non ‑ financial measures. The LTI Plan was approved at the Annual General Meeting on 24 November 2020 and currently incorporates measures linked to share price performance, completion of business critical operational and strategic objectives whilst also considering term of service.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Disclosed Executives
Current Name LTI range calculated on fixed annual remuneration
P. Crock 20% - 40%
S. Duncan 10% - 20%
G. Aldred 10% - 20%
G. Farrell 10% - 20%
G. Bullock 10% - 20%

(e) Contract for services – Chief Executive Officer

The structure of the Chief Executive Officer’s remuneration is in accordance with his employment agreement. The Chief Executive Officer’s employment agreement is for an indefinite term. The Company may terminate the agreement by providing four months’ notice and the Chief Executive Officer may terminate the agreement by providing four months’ notice. There are no termination benefits beyond statutory leave and superannuation entitlements associated with termination in accordance with the above notice requirements or in circumstances where notice is not required pursuant to the employment agreement.

The Chief Executive Officer is entitled to participate in the Company's long-term incentive ("LTI") scheme, further details of the LTI scheme are outlined in section (d) of "Components of remuneration – Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives".

(f) Contract for services – senior executives

The terms on which the senior executives are engaged provide for termination by either the executive or the Company on notice periods ranging from three to four months’ notice, or the minimum entitlements contained in the National Employment Standards – whichever is greater.

The senior executives are entitled to participate in the Company's LTI Plan, approved at the Annual General Meeting on 24 November 2020. Further details of the LTI Plan are outlined in section (d) of "Components of remuneration – Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives".

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-executive Director and executive Director remuneration is separate.

Voting and comments made at the Company's 2020 Annual General Meeting ('AGM')

At the 24 November 2020 AGM, 96.73% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 2020. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

Non-audit services

The Company’s Audit and Risk Committee (Committee) is responsible for the maintenance of audit independence. Specifically, the Committee Charter ensures the independence of the auditor is maintained by:

  • limiting the scope and nature of non ‑ audit services that may be provided; and

  • requiring that permitted non ‑ audit services must be pre ‑ approved by the Chairman of the Committee.

During the year William Buck, the Group’s auditor, has performed certain other services in addition to the audit and review of the financial statements. The Board has considered the non ‑ audit services provided during the year by the auditor and in accordance with ‑ the advice provided by the Committee, is satisfied that the provision of those non audit services during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

  • All non ‑ audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group and have been reviewed by the Committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

  • The non ‑ audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the ‑

  • auditors own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

‑ Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of the Group, William Buck, for audit and non audit services provided during the year are set out in note 11

Auditor's independence declaration

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs unless otherwise stated.

Unless otherwise stated, amounts in this report have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.

Historical cost convention

Cann Group Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2021

==> picture [87 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Subsidiaries refer to entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying ‑ a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of the potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de ‑ consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prepared for the same reporting date as the Group. Consistent accounting policies are applied to like transactions and events in similar circumstances.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Cann Group Limited's functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

26

Cann Group Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2021

==> picture [87 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Revenue recognition

The Group recognises revenue as follows:

Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group generates revenue primarily from the sale of medicinal cannabis products as well as from the provision of services. The Group uses the following five ‑ step contract ‑ based analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognised:

  1. Identify the contract with a customer;

  2. Identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract;

  3. Determine the transaction price;

  4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and 5. Recognise revenue when or as the Company satisfies the performance obligation(s).

Revenue from the sale of cannabis is generally recognised when control over the goods has been transferred to the customer. Payment for medicinal cannabis products is due within a specified time period as permitted by the underlying agreement and the Group’s credit policy upon the transfer of goods to the customer. The Group satisfies its performance obligation and transfers control to the customer upon delivery and acceptance by the customer. Revenue is recorded at the estimated amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled.

Interest income

Interest income is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised when they are received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Inventory

Inventory is valued depending upon the specific purpose of that inventory class. Costs incurred for inventory held as research and development expenses are expensed as incurred.

Biomass plant inventory is valued at fair value less costs to sell, and where fair value is not readily available, at cost or net realisable value, whichever is less.

Resin inventory is valued at cost or net realisable value, whichever is less.

Oil inventory is valued at cost or net realisable value whichever is less.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Fair value of financial instruments

A financial asset is classified and measured at amortised cost or at fair value. The classification and measurement of financial assets is based on the Group’s business models for managing its financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI). Financial assets are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at either (i) amortised cost; (ii) fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI), or (iii) at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

27

Cann Group Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2021

==> picture [87 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial assets that are held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows that are SPPI are classified as amortised cost. Amortised cost financial assets are initially recognised at their fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Transaction costs of financial instruments classified as amortised cost are capitalised and amortised in profit or loss on the same basis as the financial instrument. Cash and cash equivalents compromises cash at bank and on hand. Term deposits with maturity of less than three months are also classified as cash and cash equivalents.

Equity instruments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised through profit and loss (FVTPL). Dividends received on these investments are recognised in profit or loss unless the distribution clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment (e.g., a return of capital).

Financial liabilities include – a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity, or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the entity; or a contract that will or may be settled in the entity’s own equity instruments and is:

  • a non-derivative for which the entity is or might be obliged to deliver a variable number of the entity's own equity instruments; or

  • a derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the entity's own equity instruments.

The following table summarizes the classification of the Company’s financial instruments under AASB 9:

Financial assets Classification as per AASB 9 Cash and Cash Equivalents Amortised cost Trade and other receivables excluding GST Amortised cost Marketable securities FVTPL Equity interest in other entities FVTPL Financial Liabilities Classification as per AASB 9 Accounts Payable and accrued liabilities Amortised cost Loans and Borrowings Amortised cost Convertible Note/Debentures FVTPL Lease liabilities Amortised cost

Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the consolidated entity’s assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.

‑ Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12 month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset’s lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset’s lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Cann Group Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2021

==> picture [87 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Property, plant and equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

The cost of property, plant and equipment constructed within the Group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

The depreciable amount of all property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight ‑ line basis over the asset’s useful life to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

As at 30 June 2021, the Group’s asset classes had effective useful lives as follows:

Cultivation plant and equipment 1-7 years
Manufacturing plant and equipment 2-7 years
Computer and network equipment 1-3 years
Other plant and equipment 1-3 years
Buildings 20 years
Land N/A

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are included in the statement of profit of loss and other comprehensive income.

Lease liabilities

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the Consolidated Group’s incremental borrowing rate is used.

Lease liabilities are subsequently measured by:

  • increase the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liabilities;

  • reduce the carrying amount to reflect lease payments made; and

  • remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications

Interest on the lease liabilities and any variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liabilities are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they relate.

Right-of-use assets

Right ‑ of ‑ use assets are measured at cost less depreciation and impairment and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.

The cost of the asset includes:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;

  • any lease payments made at or before lease commencement date less any lease incentives received;

  • any initial direct costs; and

  • restoration costs.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Right ‑ of ‑ use assets are depreciated on a straight ‑ line basis from the commencement date of the lease to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right ‑ of ‑ use asset or the end of the lease term.

The Group tests right ‑ of ‑ use assets for impairment where there is an indicator that the asset may be impaired. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

‑ The Group determines the lease term as the non cancellable period of a lease together with both:

  • the periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

  • periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option.

Management considers all the facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option or not exercise a termination option. This assessment is reviewed if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and that is within the control of the lessee.

‑ Payments associated with short term leases and leases of low value assets are recognised on a straight line basis as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Short ‑ term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low ‑ value assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

Biological assets

The Group defines the biological assets as cannabis plants up to the point of harvest. Biological assets are measured at the lower of their cost and net realisable value at the end of each reporting period.

Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group’s Directors review the carrying values of the Group’s tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use, is compared to the assets carrying value. Any excess of the assets carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities represent the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer and are recognised when a customer pays consideration, or when the Group recognises a receivable to reflect its unconditional right to consideration (whichever is earlier) before the Group has transferred the goods or services to the customer.

Borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The component of the convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position, net of transaction costs.

30

Cann Group Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2021

==> picture [87 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

On the issue of the convertible notes the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent non ‑ convertible bond and this amount is carried as a non ‑ current liability on the amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The increase in the liability due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in shareholders equity as a convertible note reserve, net of transaction costs. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in the subsequent years. The corresponding interest on convertible notes is expensed to profit or loss.

Finance costs

Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Other long-term employee benefits

The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Share-based payments

Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.

‑ The Group reflects in its comprehensive income (or loss) and its financial position the effects of share based payment transactions, including expenses associated with transactions in which shares are granted to related parties, Key Management Personnel and employees.

For share ‑ based payments received by employees and Key Management Personnel of the Group, fair value is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted at their grant date, being the date that both the recipient and the Group have a ‑ ‑ shared understanding of the terms and conditions connected to the share based payment. Any market based vesting conditions are incorporated into the valuation of the share ‑ based payment arrangement as at the grant date of the share ‑ based payment. Share ‑ based payments with non ‑ market ‑ based performance conditions vest according to the pro ‑ rata achievement of those conditions. Share ‑ based payments with non ‑ performance ‑ based conditions are valued using the Black ‑ Scholes model and payments with market ‑ based performance conditions are valued using a binomial model which incorporates from both the performance rights arrangement and market data that existed at grant date.

Fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired.

The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss.

On the acquisition of a business, the Group assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.

Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the Group remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer.

Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or

(ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to the owners of Cann Group Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.

Diluted loss per share

Diluted loss per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic loss per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.

32

Cann Group Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2021

==> picture [87 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

Commitments

The Group recognises contractual obligations as and when the performance obligations inherent in the execution of an agreement are achieved. Binding contractual arrangements where the Group is a party to a contractual obligation to exchange economic resources in the future upon the fulfilment of certain contract terms, are disclosed as contractual commitments to the extent to which they are not recognised in the financial statements.

Rounding of amounts

The Company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Key judgments – nonrecognition of carryforward tax losses

The balance of future income tax benefit estimated as $4.88 million (2020: $4.80 million) arising from current year tax losses of $25.10 million (2020: $16.94 million) and timing differences has not been recognised as an asset because it is not clear when the losses will be recovered. The cumulative future income tax benefit estimated to be $14.38 million, which has not been recognised as an asset, will only be obtained if:

  • i. the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised;

  • ii. the Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and

  • iii. no changes in tax legislation adversely affecting the Company realising the benefit.

Key judgments – valuation of performance rights (refer note 22 for details)

Performance rights issued during the year are measured at the fair value on grant date. These were independently valued using BlackScholes option pricing model. The data input into this model included the dividend yield of 0% and risk ‑ free rate of 0.95%.

Key judgments – non recognition of research and development tax incentive benefits

The balance of research and development tax incentive arising from operations of the Group has not been recognised as an asset because receipt at this stage cannot be reliably calculated. The research and development tax incentive, which has not been recognised as an asset, will only be obtained if:

  • i. the Group’s activities fulfil the eligibility criteria of the research and development tax initiative and it is successful in registering for the research and development tax initiative;

  • ii. the Group continues to comply with the conditions for registration of the research and development tax initiative imposed by law; and

  • iii. no changes in tax legislation adversely affecting the Group realising the tax incentive from research and development.

Key judgments – impact of COVID19

As with many other businesses, the Group implemented changes in order to comply with Government ‑ imposed COVID ‑ 19 restrictions and guidelines in FY21, safeguarding the Group’s commitment to the health and welfare of its employees and business partners. ‑ The Group implemented a business continuity plan which included moving to a shift based operation for its cultivation facilities and all other staff working from home. As a supplier of medical products to Australian patients, the Group’s operations are an essential service ‑ and the Group expects to continue operating throughout the COVID 19 pandemic.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

Key judgments – impairment of inventories (refer note 12 for details)

The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of the provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.

Key judgments – Fair value measurement hierarchy (refer to notes 15 and 27 for details)

The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is determined by the use of valuation models. These include discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable inputs.

Key judgments – Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets (refer note 14 for details)

The Group tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 2. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows.

Key judgments – Capitalisation of the cost of software hosted on infrastructure (refer note 14 for details)

The Group capitalises the cost of software hosted on infrastructure in accordance with the Group accounting policy for software stated in note 2. In determining the nature and extent of software related costs to be capitalised, the Group is required to consider whether it can control the resources received. When the Group concludes it can control the resources and future economic benefits which accrue, it capitalises the associated costs and amortises the cost over the expected period during which the benefits can be controlled and obtained.

Key judgments – Business combinations (refer note 30 for details)

As discussed in note 2, business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The fair value of assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are initially estimated by the Group taking into consideration all available information at the reporting date. Fair value adjustments on the finalisation of the business combination accounting is retrospective, where applicable, to the period the combination occurred and may have an impact on the assets and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported.

Note 4. Operating segments

Determination and presentation of operating segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. An operating segment’s results are regularly reviewed by the CEO to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete information is available.

Segment results that are reported to the CEO include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets, head office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill.

The Group operates in one operational sector and has identified only one reportable segment being cultivation of medicinal cannabis and further processing into manufactured medicinal cannabis products, as well as the corporate office. Geographical information of total sales and total non-current assets is disclosed as below.

Performance rights have not been included in the weighted average number of ordinary shares as the Group presently has accumulated losses and no certainty of future profits to offset those losses.

The potentially dilutive effects of any contingently issuable ordinary shares have not been considered in the diluted loss per share calculation because the Group is in a loss ‑ making position and such an effect would be anti ‑ dilutive.

The Groups financial assets are measured and disclosed at fair value, using a three-level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The financial assets listed above are valued at the fair value at the end of the reporting period. The gains/(losses) on the financial assets have been recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income

Details of the Groups investments are as follows;

Zalm Therapeutics Ltd (“Zalm”) – Level 3 investment

The Group, through its wholly owned subsidiary Botanitech, holds 8.4% of the Zalm business and has increased its holding from 3.9% during the financial year. The Group has no further obligation to invest further funds into the Zalm business.

Iuvo Therapeutics Ltd (“Iuvo”) – Level 3 investment

The Group has made a strategic CAD 1 million investment in Iuvo Therapeutics Ltd ("Iuvo"), resulting in the Group holding approximately 2% of Iuvo’s issued ordinary shares. Following the investment, the Group has exclusive external rights to supply Iuvo Therapeutics GmbH, Iuvo’s wholly owned subsidiary, with medicinal cannabis extracts until 31 December 2021, with those rights then converting to preferred non-exclusive status.

Note 15. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (continued)

Consideration of fair value at 30 June 2021

The investments in the Zalm and Iuvo are considered by the Directors of the Group as level 3 investments in accordance with the AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement , as investments in shares of unlisted specialist proprietary limited companies, for which there is no active market nor readily observable valuation inputs.

Accordingly, the Directors have determined at the reporting date that it is reasonable to assess the Iuvo assets at fair value based on the most recent, or expected future, arm's length transactions in these shares. Based on these criteria, the Directors have determined that the Iuvo assets carrying value is not materially different to the fair value at the reporting date.

With regards to Zalm the Directors have assessed the carrying value of the investment at reporting date and determined that based on a number of factors the most appropriate valuation methodology for this investment is to value the investment based on the Groups share of Zalm’s net assets as at the reporting date. Consequently, a fair value loss of $1,748 thousand has been recorded in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as at 30 June 2021.

At each reporting date the Directors will reassess the carrying value of its investments and if new information becomes available the investments will be revalued in accordance with AASB 13 – Fair value measurement.

Note 19. Lease liability

In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).

The Group has two existing leases for premises as follows:

Northern Facility

The term of the lease is three years finishing on 31 March 2023. The lease started in April 2017 for three years and an option was exercised in March 2020 to extend the lease for a further three years. It is reasonably certain that the Group will renew the lease again.

Corporate Office

The term of the lease is one year commencing 1 July 2020. The lease started in July 2018 for two years and an option was exercised to extend the lease for one year in June 2020. As of 1 July 2021, the lease has reverted to a monthly tenancy, on the same monthly financial terms as were in place prior to 1 July 2021.

All the leased premises are located in Melbourne, Victoria. Lease commitments for the Company are:

For share ‑ based payments received by employees and Key Management Personnel of the Group, fair value is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted at their grant date, being the date that both the recipient and the Group have a ‑ ‑ shared understanding of the terms and conditions connected to the share based payment. Any market based vesting conditions are incorporated into the valuation of the share ‑ based payment arrangement as at the grant date of the share ‑ based payment. Share ‑ based payments with non ‑ market-based performance conditions vest according to the pro ‑ rata achievement of those conditions. Share ‑ based payments with non ‑ performance ‑ based conditions are valued using the Black ‑ Scholes model and payments with market ‑ based performance conditions are valued using a binomial model which incorporates from both the performance rights arrangement and market data that existed at grant date.

Employee remuneration costs incurred in respect of performance rights for the year ended 30 June 2021 is $250 thousand (2020: $167 thousand).

Performance rights over ordinary shares

On 21 November 2017 1,000,000 Performance Rights Class C were issued to the Chief Executive Officer with a total vesting value of $2,465 thousand. These rights lapsed on 19 January 2021.

Note 22. Reserves (continued)

The Performance Rights 2020 Series vest upon final commissioning of the first stage of the Group’s Mildura facility.

‑ The fair value of the performance rights has been calculated on the basis of the Black Scholes model using the following key assumptions:

assumptions:
Number of
Grant of performance performance Spot price on
rights rights issue date Risk free rate Expiry date Volatility rate Fair value
%
Performance Rights 2020
Series 990,000 0.51 0.05% 11/01/2024 n/a* 500

The weighted average remaining contractual life of performance rights outstanding at 30 June 2021 was 2.53 years (2020: 0.56 years).

  • Given a nil exercise price of the Performance Rights, adopting different volatility assumptions does not have an impact on the Performance Rights' valuation.

Options over ordinary shares

During the year ended 30 June 2021, 24,361,008 options over fully paid ordinary shares were issued with an exercise price of $0.46 or 46 cents per share (2020; 145,007 with an exercise price of $0.95 or 95 cents per share), in accordance with the terms of the convertible notes issued in the year ended 30 June 2020, further details of which are in note 20.

Note 24. Contingent liabilities and commitments

The Group has a bank guarantee of $50 thousand for the operating premises lease of the Company’s Northern Facility. Except for the bank guarantee, as at the end of the reporting period, the Group had no contingent liabilities.

Note 25. Events after the reporting period

The Group announced on 26 July an institutional placement (Placement) and a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) (which will be subject to shareholder approval) to raise a total of $20 million (Capital Raising) at a price of $0.275 per fully paid ordinary share. The proceeds from the Capital Raising will be used to invest in initiatives which are expected to deliver substantial cost savings as the Group moves to large scale production with the commissioning of its new manufacturing facility near Mildura. Funding will be used to expedite and strengthen its in-house extraction, laboratory and manufacturing capabilities, which are expected to de-risk the Group's supply chain and lower COGS by reducing the Group's reliance on third party manufacturers and service providers. $8.9 million of the first tranche has been received by the Group on 2 of August 2021. Receipt of the remaining funds from the Placement relate to the proposed issue of shares under the Placement to Directors and related entities, which requires shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. A meeting of shareholders is scheduled to occur on 7 September 2021.

Proceeds of the Capital Raising will also be used to expand and grow the Satipharm business, including fast-tracking the preparation of applications to register Satipharm’s low-dose CBD capsules on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods classed as Schedule 3 (Pharmacist Only Medicine). Satipharm's low-dose CBD capsules incorporate proprietary “Gelpell” technology and access a significant market opportunity.

On 9 July 2021, Cann announced that it had received $1.2 million in connection with those court proceedings regarding the cybercrime court action announced to the market on 29 March 2021.

On 4 August 2021, Cann announced that 1,000,000 Performance Rights Class C issued to Cann’s Chief Executive Officer ( CEO ) had expired, with effect on 19 January 2021.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.

Note 27. Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives

The Group’s material financial instruments consist of deposits with banks and its accounts payable and other liabilities. The Board is responsible for managing the Group’s significant financial risks, which are its liquidity risk, which it does through regularly reviewing rolling cash flow forecasts and examining its levels of available working capital against such forecasts and its interest rate risk exposure.

Market risk

The Group does not believe it has any material market risk of loss arising from adverse movements of market instruments including foreign exchange and interest rates.

Interest rate risk

The Group has, as of the reporting date, a minimal direct exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s market value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities are as follows:

Credit risk

The Group does not believe it has any material risk from a counterparty defaulting on its contractual obligations or commitments resulting in financial loss as such risk is managed by implementing a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties in accordance with established credit limits for all future transactions with customers. The Group also reviews the overall financial strength of its customers by monitoring publicly available credit information.

The Directors have assessed that the fair values of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities reasonably approximate their carrying values, as represented in these financial statements.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group may encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations for its financial liabilities, which at 30 June 2021 were primarily accounts payable with due terms of between 0-45 days. During the reporting period, the Company undertook a capital raising from the market to finance its working capital and near term growth requirements.

Remaining contractual maturities

The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

The cash flows in the maturity analysis above are not expected to occur significantly earlier than contractually disclosed above.

Foreign currency risk

Subsequent to the acquisition of Satipharm, the Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the sale and purchase of goods and services in currencies other than the Group’s measurement currency. The management managed the foreign currency transactions on a monthly basis to avoid the fluctuation on the exchange rate, while the Group does not have any material foreign currency risk exposure. Where exposures do arise, forward foreign exchange contracts will be applied.

Note 28. Capital management

The Board of Directors are charged with determining the optimal mix of debt and equity which is suitable for the needs of the Group. For the year ended 30 June 2021 the Group held no material commercial borrowings drawn down and a $50,000,000 loan facility available for the purpose of funding the construction of the Mildura Facility. The Board considers it appropriate that the construction of the Mildura Facility be sourced through a mix of equity and long-term debt financing. The Group’s treasury function reports to the Board periodically with forecast cash flow information that enables the Company to conduct its capital raising activities in an orderly fashion at a dilutive cost to existing shareholders that is appropriate and reasonable.

Note 30. Business combinations

Satipharm Acquisition

On 10 March 2021 Cann Group Limited acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of Satipharm.

In accordance with the share sale agreement executed by the parties on 15 February 2021 (and as announced by the Company on that date), the acquisition involves a total maximum consideration of CAD$3.25 million (including contingent consideration of up to CAD$0.75 million).

The initial payment of CAD$2.5 million was completed on 10 March 2021 by the issue of 4,278,615 new Cann shares, based on the value of the AUD equivalent of CAD2.5 million at an issue price of $0.602 per share, calculated as the VWAP of Cann’s shares during the 5 full trading days on the ASX ending on 9 March 2021.

The balance of up to CAD$0.75 million is payable on a deferred basis on achieving agreed operational and financial results. This contingent consideration is payable by the issuance of further new Cann shares or cash, at the option of Cann Group. A key summary of the arrangements relating to the contingent consideration was included as an annexure to the Company’s announcement on 15 February 2021. The Group did not recognise a liability for the deferred contingent consideration on acquisition date and have disclosed in note 24 a capital commitment for the element of deferred consideration in respect of delivery of Gelpell machinery.

Details of the acquisition are as follows:

Note 30. Business combinations (continued)

i. Consideration transferred

Acquisition-related costs amounting to $691 thousand are not included as part of the consideration for the acquisition and have been recognised as transaction costs in the profit and loss statement.

The Group operates as one operating segment and goodwill was allocated to the cultivation of medicinal cannabis and further processing into manufactured medicinal cannabis products cash generating unit as at acquisition date. The goodwill that arose from this business combination is not deductible for tax purposes.

iv. Contribution to the Group’s results
