Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Shareholders of:
FIORE CANNABIS LTD.
(Formerly Citation Growth Corporation and Liht Cannabis Corp.)
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Fiore Cannabis Ltd. (formerly Citation Growth Corporation and Liht Cannabis Corp.) (“the Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020 and the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2020 and for the year ended March 31, 2020, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2020 and for the year ended March 31, 2020 then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of $16,751 during the nine-months ended December 31, 2020, and as of that date, had accumulated losses since inception of $114,618. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained Management's Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibility of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
2
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Mike Kao.

FIORE CANNABIS LTD.
(Formerly Citation Growth Corporation and Liht Cannabis Corp.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2020 and Year Ended March 31, 2020 (In thousands of Canadian dollars except for share data)
1. Nature of operations and going concern
Fiore Cannabis Ltd. (formerly Citation Growth Corporation and Liht Cannabis Corp.) (the “Company”) is governed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The head office is located at Suite 102 – 1561 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada V1Y 5Y7. The Company's common shares are traded on the Canadian Stock Exchange (“CSE”) under the trading symbol "FIOR" and OTCQX markets under the ticker symbol “FIORF”. On October 28, 2020, the Company changed its name from Citation Growth Corporation to Fiore Cannabis Ltd.
The Company was established to enter into the emerging market of regulated medical marijuana and has applied to Health Canada to become a licensed producer under the Cannabis Act (Canada) (“Cannabis Act”) which is still pending. The Company has operations in the United States, in the states of Nevada and California. The Company has six state approved licenses in Nevada which consist of medical and recreational marijuana cultivation, medical and recreational production licenses, medical cannabis licenses associated with lands owned in the state of Washington, and a distribution license with a dispensary in California.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
The Company has incurred losses and negative operating cash flows since inception. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had accumulated deficit of $114,618 (March 31, 2020 - $98,622), and working capital deficiency of $6,223 (March 31, 2020 - working capital deficiency of $4,440). The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining continued financial support, securing debt and/or equity financing and generating profitable operations in the future. Management is committed to raising additional capital to meet its financial obligations and commitments, fund its growth initiatives, capital expenditures and sustain its operations in the normal course of business. Although the Company has raised funds in the past, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional financing.
These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
On June 12, 2019, the Company completed a consolidation of its issued and outstanding shares on the basis of four (4) pre-consolidation common shares for one (1) post-consolidation common share (the "Share Consolidation"). As a result of the Share Consolidation, the 247,875,997 common shares issued and outstanding at June 12, 2019 were consolidated to 61,969,033 common shares. All information in these consolidated financial statements is presented on a post Share Consolidation basis.
2. Significant accounting policies
- (a) Basis of presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) in effect for the nine months ended December 31, 2020.

(b) Basis of consolidation
On November 20, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a resolution to change the Company’s year end from March 31[st] to December 31[st] . Accordingly, these financial statements are prepared as at December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020 and for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and the twelve months ended March 31, 2020.
These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on April 29, 2021.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the following wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

(c) Basis of measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, biological assets and other investments which are measured at fair value.
(d) Foreign currency translation
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the functional currency of the parent company. The functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries are outlined in Note 2(b).
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Canadian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the consolidated statement of financial position date are translated to Canadian dollars at the foreign exchange rate applicable at that date. Realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at period end exchange rates. Income and expenses, and cash flows of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars using average exchange rates. Exchange differences arising on the translation of foreign operations are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.

(Formerly Citation Growth Corporation and Liht Cannabis Corp.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2020 and Year Ended March 31, 2020 (In thousands of Canadian dollars except for share data)
2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
- (e) Biological assets
The Company measures biological assets consisting of cannabis plants at fair value less cost to sell up to the point of harvest, which becomes the initial basis for the cost of finished goods inventories after harvest. Seeds are measured at fair market value. Unrealized gains or losses arising from the changes in fair value less cost to sell during the period are included in the results of operations for the related period.
(f) Inventory
Inventories for finished goods, packaging and supplies are initially valued at cost and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventories of harvested cannabis are transferred from biological assets into inventory at their fair value at harvest less costs to sell, which is deemed to be their cost. Any subsequent post-harvest costs are capitalized to inventory to the extent that cost is less than net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs to sell.
(g) Leases
The Company adopted all of the requirements of IFRS 16, effective January 1, 2019. IFRS 16 specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with IFRS 16’s approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17.
- (h) Business combinations and asset acquisitions
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of a business combination is measured as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued in exchange for control of the acquiree. The Company recognizes identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Acquisition related costs are expensed to profit or loss.
Acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business combination are accounted for as an asset acquisition. The cost of an asset acquisition is allocated to the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. Asset acquisitions do not give rise to goodwill.
- (i) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
| Land | Not depreciated |
|---|---|
| Furniture and equipment | 3 to 5 years |
| Buildings and leasehold improvements | 5 - 30 years |
Depreciation for property, plant and equipment commences when they become available for use. Expenditures for plant under construction are capitalized and will be depreciated over the life of the asset, commencing at the time the asset is ready for its intended use. The different components of property, plant and equipment are recognized separately when their useful lives are materially different and such components are depreciated separately in profit or loss.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Borrowing costs directly attributable to properties acquired and under construction are capitalized (Note 12). Upon the asset becoming available for use, capitalized borrowing costs, as a portion of the total cost of the asset, are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related asset.
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. Gains and losses on disposal of property and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount and recognized in profit or loss.
(j) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which do not exceed the contractual period, if any, as follows:
Marijuana licenses Useful life of the facility or term of lease Intellectual property Useful life of the facility Sublease rights and options Term of lease
Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at each year end, and any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.
An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising from the de-recognition is measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.
(k) Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property and equipment and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. Individual assets are grouped together as a cash generating unit for impairment assessment purposes at the lowest level at which there are identifiable cash flows that are independent from other group assets
If any such indication of impairment exists, the Company makes an estimate of its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Where the carrying amount of a cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the cash generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are adjusted for the risks specific to the cash generating unit and are discounted to their present value with a discount rate that reflects the current market indicators.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the cash generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the cash generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as income immediately.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
(l) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for the acquisition of an entity over the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired. Goodwill is allocated to the cash generating unit (“CGU”) or CGUs to which it relates. Currently, the Company has one reportable segment. The Company has determined that the goodwill associated with all acquisitions belongs to this segment as this is the lowest level at which management monitors goodwill. Goodwill is measured at historical cost and is evaluated for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment. CGUs have been grouped for purposes of impairment testing. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing if the carrying value of CGUs, including goodwill, exceeds its recoverable amount determined as the greater of the estimated fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. Impairment losses recognized in respect of the CGUs are first allocated to the carrying value of goodwill and any excess is allocated to the carrying amount of assets in the CGUs. Any goodwill impairment is recorded in profit and loss in the period in which the impairment is identified. Impairment losses on goodwill are not subsequently reversed.
(m) Assets held for sale
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The asset must be available for immediate sale in its present condition, its sale must be highly probable and expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification.
When there is a plan to sell involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all of the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, regardless of whether the Company will retain a non-controlling interest in its former subsidiary after the sale.
Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and their fair value less costs to sell. Any excess of the carrying amount over the fair value less costs to sell is recognized as an impairment loss. Depreciation of such assets is discontinued as from their classification as held for sale. Prior period consolidated statements of financial position are not restated to reflect the new classification of a non-current asset (or a disposal group) as held for sale.
(n) Share capital
Cash consideration received from the issuance of units, consisting of common shares and share purchase warrants, are first allocated to common shares based on the quoted market value of the common shares at the time the units are priced, and the balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants under the residual method. Share issue costs are netted against share capital. Proceeds received for shares that have not yet been issued as at the reporting date are recorded as share subscriptions.
Shares issued for non-monetary consideration are recorded at fair value of the goods or services received. When such fair value cannot be estimated reliably, fair value is measured based on the quoted market value of the Company’s shares on the date of share issuance.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
(o) Loss per share
Loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share, as the issuance of shares on the exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants is anti-dilutive.
(p) Share-based compensation
The fair value method of accounting is used for share-based compensation transactions. Under this method, the cost of stock options and finders’ warrants is recorded based on the estimated fair value using the BlackScholes option-pricing model at the grant date and charged to profit over the vesting period. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of equity instruments expected to vest.
Upon the exercise of stock options and finders’ warrants, consideration received on the exercise of these equity instruments is recorded as share capital and the related share-based payment reserve is transferred to share capital.
Upon the expiry or cancellation of stock options and finders’ warrants, their fair value previously recorded in reserve is transferred to deficit.
(q) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. As at December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Company has no material provisions.
(r) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the customer, the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and it is probable that the Company will receive the previously agreed upon payment. Significant risks and rewards are generally considered to be transferred when the Company has delivered the product to customers.
(s) Income taxes
Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
(i) Current income tax
Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
- (ii) Deferred income tax
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilized against future taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a right and intention to offset current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.
3. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to exercise judgment and to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosures. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Significant estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are described as follows.
- (a) Biological assets and inventory
The Company measures biological assets consisting of cannabis on plants at fair value less cost to sell up to the point of harvest. Determining the fair value requires management to make a number of estimates, including costs incurred for each stage of growth of the plants up to the point of harvest, expected yield per plant, wastage of plants, selling prices per gram and post-harvest costs.
The Company measures inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value and estimates the sales price, costs of completion and selling costs.
- (b) Business combination
Judgment is used in determining whether an acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition. On initial recognition, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business and the consideration paid for them are included in the consolidated financial statements at their fair values. In measuring fair value, management uses estimates of future cash flows and discount rates. Any subsequent change in these estimates would affect the amount of goodwill if the change qualifies as a measurement period adjustment. Any other change would be recognized in the income statement in the subsequent period.

3. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (continued)
- (c) Assets held for sale
Assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Among other conditions, management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. However, in some cases, an asset may remain classified as held for sale for a period exceeding one year if it remains unsold due to events or circumstances beyond the Company’s control. If the recognition criteria for assets held for sale are no longer met or if management’s plans change, the Company will cease to classify the assets as held for sale.
(d) Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s or CGU’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. To determine the recoverable amount, management estimates expected future cash flows from each asset or cash-generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. In the process of measuring expected future cash flows, management makes assumptions about future operating results. In addition, when determining the applicable discount rate, estimation is involved in determining the appropriate adjustments to market risk and asset-specific risk factors. These assumptions relate to future events and circumstances. Actual results may vary and may cause significant adjustments to the Company’s assets within the next financial year.
- (e) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
Depreciation and amortization are dependent upon estimates of useful lives and impairment is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts. Management reviews the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at each reporting date and makes assessments of any impairment considering factors such as economic and market conditions, anticipated changes in laws and technological improvements.
(f) Share-based compensation
The fair value of share-based compensation is subject to the limitations of the Black-Scholes option pricing model that incorporates market data and involves uncertainty in estimates used by management in the assumptions. Because the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility of share prices, changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.
- (g) Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unutilized tax losses, require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate sufficient taxable earnings in future periods in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. In addition, future changes in tax laws could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in future periods. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the net deferred tax assets recorded at the reporting date could be impacted. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty in the realization of these assets.

4. Accounting standards adopted in the current year
IFRS 3 Business Combinations
In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to the definition of a business in IFRS 3 – Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”). The amendments to IFRS 3 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 2020. The modifications are intended to assist entities in determining whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition.
Effective April 1, 2020, the Company adopted the new IFRS 3 accounting standard and will apply it prospectively. Under this approach, there is no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and the comparative figures remain as previously reported.
5. Biological assets
The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis seeds and cannabis plants. The changes in the carrying value of biological assets are as follows:
| $ | |
|---|---|
| Carrying amount, March 31, 2019 | - |
| Production costs capitalized | 204 |
| Genetics purchased | 26 |
| Production costs capitalized | 1,495 |
| Changes in fair value less cost to sell due to biological transformation | 544 |
| Transferred to inventory upon harvest | (1,907) |
| Foreign currency | 21 |
| Carrying amount, March 31, 2020 | 383 |
| Production costs capitalized | 717 |
| Genetics purchased | 25 |
| Changes in fair value less cost to sell due to biological transformation | (62) |
| Transferred to inventory upon harvest | (664) |
| Foreigncurrency | (40) |
| Carrying amount, December 31, 2020 | 359 |
As at December 31, 2020, the fair value of biological assets included $359 in cannabis plants and the weighted average fair value less cost to complete and cost to sell was $3.71 per gram.
Biological assets are classified as level 3 on the fair value hierarchy. Significant unobservable inputs used to fair value biological assets include the Company’s selling price per gram of dried cannabis and yield of cannabis per plant. The Company expects that a $1.00 increase or decrease in the selling price per gram of dried cannabis would increase or decrease the fair value of biological assets by $122. A 10% increase or decrease in the estimated yield per cannabis plant would result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of biological assets by $36. Other unobservable inputs are less variable and will not result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2020, the Company produced approximately 148,083 grams of dried cannabis. As of December 31, 2020, the biological assets were on average 50% complete and it was expected that the Company’s biological assets would yield approximately 188,060 grams of cannabis when harvested. The Company’s estimates are, by their nature, subject to change. Changes in the anticipated yield will be reflected in future changes in the fair values of biological assets.

As at December 31, 2020, costs related to the construction of production facilities were capitalized and not amortized. Amortization will commence when construction is completed, and the facility is available for its intended use. During the year ended March 31, 2020, $261 in borrowing costs were capitalized to buildings under construction at a weighted average interest rate of 9%. No borrowing costs have been capitalized for the nine months ended December 31, 2020.
During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company disposed of land and buildings located in Magna Bay, British Columbia, for gross proceeds of $600. The Company recorded a loss of $537 from the sale of the property.

(a) ACC
On August 2, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of ACC, a licensed cannabis cultivator in Nevada. The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of ACC for a total consideration of $13,464 which comprised of 35,000,000 common shares at a fair value of $11,653, 11,500,000 warrants at a fair value of $592 and finders’ fees of 3,250,000 common shares at a fair value of $1,219.
The warrants are exercisable at $2.50 per share expiring August 2, 2021, subject to acceleration if the volume weighted average price (‘VWAP”) of the Company’s shares is greater than $3.50 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days. The fair value of the 11,500,000 warrants at the date of acquisition was estimated at $0.05 per warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: share price of $0.37; risk-free rate of 1.41%; stock price volatility of 101.98%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected life of warrants of 2 years.
The purchase price was allocated based on management’s preliminary assessment of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

8. Business combination and asset acquisitions (Continued)
(a) ACC (continued)
On January 13, 2020, Howard Misle resigned as CEO and director of the Company. On August 18, 2020, Howard Misle, the former CEO and director of the Company and the former controlling shareholder of ACC, entered into a settlement agreement with the Company to reacquire the legal title of ACC in return of 18,515,424 common shares of the Company. In addition, the Company agreed to pay (i) US$650 on or before August 18, 2020 and (ii) US$453 to be paid as follows: US$75 (minimum) by February 17, 2021 and the balance in six equal monthly payments from March 15, 2021 to August 15, 2021. A total amount of $1,456 (US$1,103) has been accrued for the settlement. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, on its closing, ACC was dissolved. As at March 31, 2020, an estimated fair value of $1,574 for the 18,515,424 common shares was included in treasury reserve account. On August 25, 2020, 18,515,424 common shares were returned to treasury for cancellation. There was no change in the original estimated fair value of the shares to be returned at March 31, 2020 compared to the fair value of the share returned on August 25, 2020. As such, thee was no subsequent adjustment of the loss on deemed disposition of ACC in the ninemonth period ended December 31, 2020. Subsequent to December 31, 2020, US$201 cash settlement was paid.
On January 1, 2020, the Company lost its de facto control of ACC shortly followed by the resignation of Howard Misle, the former controlling shareholder of ACC, on January 13, 2020. As a result, the Company deconsolidated ACC and recognized a loss on deemed disposition of subsidiary of $12,253 which consists of (i) $10,982 from the settlement based on the net liabilities of $3,023 of ACC as at January 1, 2020, (ii) $221 of accounts receivable write off, (iii) $901 of inventory write off, and (iv) $149 of legal fees incurred during the acquisition.
Revenues and expenses related to the discontinuation of ACC, due to the loss of control, were eliminated from profit or loss from the Company’s continuing operations and were shown as a single line item as follows:
| follows: | |

On April 19, 2021, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to sell the Celista Project which the buyer will assume loans and liabilities of the Company in total of $4,520. As at December 31, 2020, the assets and liabilities of Celista Project, which includes land located in Celista, BC, and the latestage license application under the Cannabis Act, have been reclassified as held for sale.

8. Business combination and asset acquisitions (continued)
- (c) Tonasket, Washington property
On May 29, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of certain operational assets, leases, subleases and an option and right of first refusal (“ROFR’) to purchase Washington State Liquor Cannabis Board (“WSLCB”) Tier 2 and Tier 3 cultivation and processing licenses related to cannabis production and processing operations in Tonasket, Washington (the “Property”).

13. Convertible debentures (continued)
On October 23, 2019, the Company extended and amended the terms of the debentures (the “Amended Debentures”) as follows:
-
(i) All accrued and unpaid interest were paid in common shares of the Company at market price. As a result, the Company issued 635,642 common shares to the holders in settlement of accrued interests of $261;
-
(ii) The Amended Debentures mature on October 23, 2020;
-
(iii) The Amended Debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company at $0.70 per share subject to accelerated maturity if the VWAP of the Company’s common shares is equal to or above $1.05 for ten consecutive trading days; and
-
(iv) Interest shall be paid in cash at maturity, however, if the Amended Debentures are converted into common shares prior to the maturity date, interest shall be paid in shares on the conversion date at a price equal to the conversion price.
In consideration for the amendment, the Company issued 3,723,033 warrants to the holders at an exercise price of $1.25 per share for a period of eighteen months expiring April 23, 2021, subject to acceleration if the VWAP of the Company’s common shares is equal or above $1.88 for ten consecutive trading days. Additionally, the Company’s CEO agreed to personally pay the debenture holders an additional $261 or 10% of the principal amount outstanding in common shares upon receipt of his bonus shares on achievement of performance milestones. The Company’s CEO resigned on January 13, 2020.
The fair value of the 3,723,033 warrants of $283 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions: share price of $0.35; risk-free rate of 1.65%; stock price volatility of 112%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected life of warrants of 1.50 years.
On October 23, 2020, the Company further extended and amended the terms of the debentures (the “Second Amended Debentures”) as follows:
-
(i) The Second Amended Debentures mature on October 23, 2022;

-
(iii) The Second Amended Debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company at $0.25 per share;
-
(iv) Two common share purchase warrants will be issued upon conversion. The warrant exercise price will be $0.15 per share expiring October 23, 2022; The estimated fair value as at December 31, 2020 of these potential issuances of warrants should the holder convert was $159. The estimate fair value is based on Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions: probability of conversion at 5.8% based on known conversion and warrants issuance subsequent to December 31, 2020 in 2021; share price of $0.20; conversion price of $0.15; risk-free rate of 0.20%; stock price volatility of 125%; dividend yield of 0% and expected life of warrants of 1.81 years. The estimated fair value of $159 was recognized as derivative liability associated with these amended convertible debentures as the potential issuance of additional warrants fails the fixto-fix test for embedded derivatives.
-
(v) Interest will be paid in cash on the anniversary date and maturity date;

20. Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining fair value measurements:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
-
Level 3: Techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payables and accrued liabilities, loans and borrowings and convertible debentures approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of marketable securities is based on quoted prices in active markets. The fair values of derivative assets and derivative liabilities are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. During the year, there were no transfers of amounts between level 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments as at December 31, 2020:

21. Financial risk management
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s policies on an ongoing basis.
The Company is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed are described below.
(a) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company ensures, as far as is reasonably possible, that it will have sufficient capital in order to meet its working capital and other operating requirements, fund capital expenditures, settle liabilities and meet its scheduled debt repayments. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had working capital deficiency of $6,223 (March 31, 2020 - working capital deficiency of $4,440). There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure debt and/or equity financing for working capital and be successful in generating and maintaining profitable operations.
The Company has the following gross contractual obligations:
| Total | < 1year | 1 – 3years | 3 – 5years | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | $ | $ | |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 5,674 | 5,674 | - | - |
| Loans and borrowings | 4,164 | 3,084 | 1,080 | - |
| Lease liabilities | 288 | 133 | 155 | - |
| Convertible debentures | 4,373 | 2,006 | 2,367 | - |
| 14,499 | 10,897 | 3,602 | - |
(b) Currency risk
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from currency exposures to Canadian dollars. The main currency to which the Company has exposure is the U.S. dollar. The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent of its cash, accounts payables and accrued liabilities, liabilities associated with assets held for sale, and convertible bonds payable that are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company does not hedge its exposure to fluctuations in the related foreign exchange rates.
As at December 31, 2020, the Company has determined that a 10% change in US dollars against the Canadian dollar on financial assets and liabilities would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $1,404 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 (March 31, 2020 - $1,550) to net income and comprehensive income.
(c) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. Interest on the Company’s loans and borrowings and convertible bonds payable are based on fixed rates, and as such, the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

21. Financial risk management (continued)
(d) Covid-19
On March 11, 2020, the current outbreak of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) was declared a global pandemic, which has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the Canadian, provincial and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. As a result, global equity markets and oil prices have experienced significant volatility and weakness. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Company as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place by Canada and other countries to fight the virus.
(e) Credit risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk primarily consist of accounts receivable. The Company maintains an allowance for estimated credit losses using an expected credit loss provision for accounts receivable. To measure expected credit losses on a collective basis, trade receivables are grouped based on similar credit risk and aging. The expected loss rates are based on the Company’s historical credit losses experienced over previous periods.
The Company sells its product in Nevada but its credit risk is not concentrated to any particular customer. The Company mitigates the risk by reviewing accounts receivable past due on an ongoing basis and by managing and monitoring the relationships with its customers. The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk.
As at December 31, 2020, a $477 (US$375) receivable from Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for the FIRPTA income tax withheld was aged over 90 days. There was a service delay from IRS due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020. Management expects to receive the full amount in fiscal 2021. (Note10(a))
As at December 31, 2020, the Company’s aging of receivables was as follows:
| December 31, 2020 | March 31, 2020 |
|---|---|
| $ 0 – 30 days 19 31 – 60 days - 61 – 90 days - 91 days and over 477 |
$ 83 - - 1 |
| Gross accounts receivable 496 Provision for doubtful accounts - |

| 496 | 84 |

22. Capital management
The Company manages its share capital as capital, which as at December 31, 2020, was $108,730. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development and expansion of its business and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk level.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares or debt, dispose of assets, or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain debt or equity capital in the case of operating cash deficits.
In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. The Company does not pay out dividends in order to conserve cash reserves and to maximize ongoing development efforts. The Company’s share capital is not subject to external restrictions. The Company has not paid or declared any dividends since the date of incorporation, nor are any contemplated in the foreseeable future.
23. Income taxes

| December 31, 2020 |

| 49,901 | 4,587 |
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that the realization of the related tax benefit through future taxable income is probable. The Company has recorded a significant amount of valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets because of uncertainty as to the realization of these assets.
Tax attributes are subject to review, and potential adjustment, by tax authorities.
