MJardin Group, Inc.
Consolidated Financial Statements
As at December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated)
Independent Auditor's Report
To the Shareholders of MJardin Group, Inc.:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of MJardin Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' deficiency and cash flows for the years then ended, 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 consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
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 audits 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 for the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company incurred a net loss and negative cash flow from operations, and as at December 31, 2020, had a working capital deficit. These events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on 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 we do not express
any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits 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 on this other information, 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.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, 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.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audits and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audits.
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 Shaila Rani Mehta.

MJardin Group, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Nature of operations
MJardin Group, Inc., (the “Company”) is a publicly traded cannabis cultivation and management services company. In 2018, the Company’s shares commenced trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker symbol MJAR. The consolidated financial statements of the combined entities are issued under the legal parent, MJardin Group, Inc.
The Company has two groups of subsidiaries. One is the MJardin Group of companies (“MJardin Group”), which provides professional management operational and cultivation services in Canada and the United States of America (the “USA”). The other group is GrowForce, which is engaged in the cultivation and sale of cannabis products in Canada.
The Company’s headquarters are located at 1 Toronto Street, Suite 801, Toronto, Ontario M5C 2V6. The Company’s operating subsidiaries have US facilities in Colorado, Canadian production facilities in Ontario and Manitoba, and joint venture owned production facility in Nova Scotia. The Canadian production facilities in Ontario are legally part of the following entities: 8586985 Canada Corporation (“Will”), Highgrade MMJ Corporation (“GRO”), and GrowForce Manitoba Inc. (“Warman”).
Going concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company reported a net loss of $34,840,534 (December 31, 2019 – $267,467,927), cash outflow from operating activities of $10,080,034 (December 31, 2019 – outflow of $43,164,327), working capital deficit of $161,944,812 (December 31, 2019 – $28,456,108) and an accumulated deficit of $383,713,486 (December 31, 2019 – $348,872,952).
These conditions create a material uncertainty which may cast a significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, which may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management acknowledges that there is significant uncertainty over the Company's ability to meet its funding requirements as they fall due. The Company’s ability to continue in the normal course of operations is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital through debt and equity financings and to start generating positive cash flow from operating activities. While the Company has been successful in raising capital in the past, there is no assurance that it will be successful in closing further financing in the future.
a) Debt facilities
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company executed an amendment to its loan agreement (“Amending Agreement’) with its senior lender allowing it to defer principal and interest payments. Details of the amendments are provided in Note 14.
As at December 31, 2020, the Company is not in compliance with its Senior Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for both its loans owed by Canadian and U.S. facilities. Refer to Note 14(c) for a description of how these covenants are determined. As at December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants.
On April 21, 2021, the Company received a signed waiver from the senior lender for the breach of its financial covenants under the loan agreements in-force as at December 31, 2020. Under the terms of the waiver, the entirety of the principal balance, including accrued interest payable up until the repayment date, is due May 1, 2022. Although management believes the Company will be successful in ramping up production at its cultivation facilities to generate cash flows to begin to meet future debt requirements, the outcome of these matters cannot be certain at this time. In the event that the Company cannot meet its repayment obligation on May 1, 2022, the Company will look to alternative sources of financing, delay capital expenditures and/or evaluate potential asset sales, and potentially could be forced to curtail or cease operations or seek relief under applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws.
b) COVID-19 contagious disease
During the year ended December 31, 2020, COVID-19 had an adverse impact on local economics and the global economy. COVID-19 affected the Company’s ability to continue its construction at its facilities, particularly Will, and resulted in temporary shortages of staff to the extent its workforce is impacted. Construction activities at Will were completed during the third quarter of 2020. The Company made active efforts to minimize the impact of COVID-19.

Facilities were professionally cleaned to support the staff’s return to work and mitigate any potential facility outbreak. Additional equipment vendors were sourced to address suppliers who became no longer available or had a lack of supplies on hand. A potential facility outbreak, if uncontrolled, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows including lost revenue. The Company’s operations are considered an essential service in all jurisdictions and all facilities are continuing to operate with protocols in place to prevent the spread of the virus. There was no significant impact on revenues from COVID-19. The Company continues to monitor and assess the impact that COVID-19 will have on the business and its revenues.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Statement of compliance
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) using the accounting policies described herein as issued by International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on April 29, 2021.
The Company has reclassified certain items on the comparative consolidated statements of financial position, consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss, and consolidated statements of cash flows to improve clarity.
b) Basis of measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for biological assets, share based payments, warrants and certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. See Note 30 for details.
Beginning January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting ("revised conceptual framework"). The revised conceptual framework does not constitute a substantial revision from the previously effective guidance but does provide additional guidance on topics not previously covered such as presentation and disclosure. The adoption of the revised conceptual framework did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
c) Presentation and functional currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars. The Canadian dollar is the functional currency of the subsidiaries in Canada and the US dollar is the functional currency for all US subsidiaries of the Company.
d) Basis of consolidation These consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 comprise results of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Company has control. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed or has rights to variable returns from the subsidiaries and can affect these returns. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date the Company acquires control of them and are deconsolidated from the date control ceases. All intercompany balances, revenues, expenses, earnings and losses resulting from intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation. For subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned subsidiaries but are controlled by the Company, the net assets (liabilities) and net income (loss) attributable to outside shareholders are presented as amounts attributable to non-controlling interests in the consolidated statements of financial position, and in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss.
Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are a separate component of the Company’s equity. Non-controlling interests consist of the non-controlling interests on the date of the original acquisition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of changes in equity since the date of acquisition.
The Company's subsidiaries and ownership interests are stated below for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

e) Cash and restricted cash
Cash includes cash on hand and funds in escrow. All of the Company’s cash is held with major financial institutions and thus the exposure to credit risk is considered insignificant. See Note 12(a) on unrestricted cash released this year.
f) Biological assets
Biological assets consist of cannabis plants that are measured at fair value less costs to sell up to the point of harvest.
The significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of biological assets include:
-
Expected yield by plant adjusted for expected wastage – represents the expected number of grams of finished cannabis inventory, which are expected to be obtained from each cannabis plant;
-
Percentage of costs incurred to date compared to the total expected costs to be incurred per stage of growth and over the life of the plant – used to estimate the fair value of an in-process plant at each stage;
-
Expected weighted average selling price per gram of harvested cannabis – calculated as the weighted average historical selling price for all strains of cannabis sold by the Company during the three-month period immediately preceding the period-end, which is expected to approximate future selling prices; and
-
Expected number of days remaining in each stage of growth and over the life of the plant.
While the Company’s biological assets, consisting of cannabis plants, are within the scope of IAS 41 Agriculture, the direct and indirect costs of biological assets are determined using an approach similar to the capitalization criteria outlined in IAS 2 Inventories. The Company capitalizes all the direct and indirect costs as incurred related to the biological transformation of the biological assets between the point of initial recognition and the point of harvest including labour related costs, grow consumables, utilities, facilities costs including an allocation of overhead costs related to production facility, quality and testing costs, and production related depreciation. Capitalized costs are subsequently recorded within cost of sales in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss in the period that the related product is sold.
The Company measures biological assets, at fair value less cost to sell up to the point of harvest. Unrealized gains or losses arising from the changes in fair value less cost to sell during the period are separately recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss. Cost to sell includes post harvest production costs and fulfilment costs. When the finished cannabis is subsequently sold, the unrealized gains or losses capitalized to inventory are recognized as a fair value adjustment on the sale of cultivated inventory on the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss.
1 GrowForce AC Holdings Inc. is the holding entity with 100% ownership of the investment in AtlantiCann Medical Inc (“AMI”). AMI is an equity-accounted investment. See Note 9 for further details.
2 GreenMart of Nevada LLC was consolidated for part of the year, control was transferred in August 2020. See Note 24 for more details. All other entities were consolidated throughout the full year.

MJardin Group, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated)
g) Inventory
Inventory consists of bulk cannabis, finished cannabis goods and consumable supplies. Inventories of bulk cannabis are transferred from biological assets at their fair value at the point of harvest, which becomes the initial deemed cost. All subsequent direct and indirect post-harvest costs are capitalized to inventory as incurred, including labour related costs, consumables, packaging supplies, facilities costs including an allocation of overhead costs related to production facility, quality and testing costs, and related depreciation.
Bulk cannabis and finished cannabis goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated selling costs. Consumable supplies are valued at the lower of costs and net realizable value with cost determined based on an average cost basis. The Company reviews these types of inventory for obsolescence and slow turnover that they are written down and reflected at net realizable value. When assessing net realizable value, the Company considers the impact of price fluctuation, inventory spoilage, inventory excess, age, and damage.
The valuation of biological assets at the point of harvest is the cost basis for all cannabis-based inventory and thus any significant estimates and judgments related to the valuation of biological assets are also applicable for inventory. The valuation of work-in-process and finished goods also requires the estimate of conversion costs incurred, which become part of the carrying amount for the inventory. The Company also uses significant judgments in determining if the cost of any inventory exceeds its net realizable value, such as cases where prices have decreased, or inventory has spoiled or has otherwise been damaged.
h) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The initial cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price or construction cost and any costs directly attributable to bringing it to a working condition for its intended use. The purchase price or construction cost is the aggregate amount of cash consideration paid and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset. Where an item of property, plant and equipment is comprised of significant components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.
For all property, plant and equipment, depreciation is calculated over the useful life of related assets from the date it is available for use through the straight-line method of measurement.
Construction-in-progress includes property, plant and equipment in the course of construction and is carried at cost including any financing costs directly attributable to the construction, less any recognized impairment charge. These assets are reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment and depreciation of these assets commences when they are completed and ready for their intended use.
An item of property, plant and equipment, including any significant part initially recognized, is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in net loss when the asset is derecognized.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of all assets are reviewed at each financial year end and are adjusted, if appropriate. Depreciation is calculated based on applying the straight-line method over the useful life of the assets as indicated in the table below. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life or the lease term. Depreciation is recognized from the commencement date of the lease.
| Asset Class | Estimate of Useful Life |
|---|---|
| Land | Not applicable |
| Building | 25-40 years |
| Computer equipment | 3-5 years |
| Production equipment | 5 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | 5 years |
| Leasehold Improvements | Over the term of the lease agreement |
| Construction under progress | No depreciation until ready for use |

i) Borrowing costs
Interest from the loans is capitalized for qualifying assets like construction-in-progress that take longer than six months to complete and interest capitalization ceases when substantially all of the activities to prepare the asset for its intended use are complete.
j) Investments Associates are companies over which the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence represents the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but does not represent the right to exercise control or joint control over those policies. The Company’s associates are GrowForce AC Holdings Inc. and AtlantiCann Medical Inc. (“AMI”).
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost, excluding financial assets that are not in-substance common shares and inclusive of transaction costs. When the Company holds marketable securities or derivative financial assets and subsequently obtains significant influence in that investee, the fair value of the financial instruments are reclassified to investments in associates at the deemed cost with the cumulative unrealized fair value gains or losses in other comprehensive loss, if any, transferred to deficit.
Strategic investments are where the Company has no governance rights, and no board seats, and as such, the Company has no significant influence or control over its day-to-day business or strategic direction. The Company measures its strategic investments at fair value and are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) or are designated at fair value through other comprehensive income or loss (“FVTOCI”). This designation is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and if elected, subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss only and not through profit or loss upon disposition. The Company has a strategic investment in OG DNA Genetics Inc. (“DNA Genetics”). It is measured at fair value and is designated at FVTOCI.
k) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. The useful life of intangible assets is assessed as either finite or indefinite. Following the initial recognition, intangible assets with definite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. If impairment indicators are present, these definite life intangible assets are subject to an impairment test as discussed in l). Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the intangible assets require the use of estimates and assumptions and are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense attributable to an intangible asset is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the following terms:
| Cultivation license | 20 years |
|---|---|
| Trademarks and brands | 15 years |
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.
l) Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets The carrying value of property, plant and equipment and of intangible assets are assessed for impairment at each statement of financial position date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Events or changes in circumstances which may indicate impairment include: a significant change to the Company’s operations, significant decline in performance, or change in market conditions which adversely affect the Company. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal (“FVLCD”) and its value in use (“VIU”) based on discounted cash flows.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets CGU. The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is the higher of its FVLCD and VIU. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment charge is recognized immediately in consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss by the amount in which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lesser of the revised estimate of recoverable amount and the carrying amount that would have been recorded.

m) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date and is allocated to the cash generating unit (“CGU”) expected to benefit from the acquisition. A CGU is the smallest group of assets for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows.
Subsequently, goodwill is not amortized but are assessed at least annually for impairment and more frequently whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable. The annual impairment test requires comparing the carrying values of the Company’s CGU, including goodwill, to their recoverable amounts and is completed at year-end. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. The Company determines the recoverable amount based on its FVLCD or VIU using estimated future cash flows discounted at an aftertax rate for the FVLCD model or a pre-tax rate for the VIU model that reflects the risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital. Any excess of the carrying value amount of a CGU over the recoverable amount is expensed in the period the impairment is identified. An impairment loss recorded for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. Upon disposal of a business, any related goodwill is included in the determination of gain or loss on disposal. The Company has no goodwill at December 31, 2020.
n) Leases
As a lessee, the Company leases office space, production facilities and IT equipment.
For any new contracts entered into, the Company considers whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract gives the Company the right to control the use of an identified asset for the duration of the lease term in exchange for consideration. When a contract contains both lease and non-lease components, the Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each of the components on the basis of their relative standalone prices.
Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability at the commencement date. Right-of-use assets are recognized within property, plant and equipment. The Company has elected to account for short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets using the practical expedients. Instead of recognizing a rightof-use asset and lease liability, the payments are recognized as an expense in sales, general, and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss on a straight-line bases over the lease term.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. The measurement of lease liabilities includes the fixed and in-substance fixed payments and variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, less any lease incentives receivable. If applicable, lease liabilities will also include a purchase option exercise price if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option, termination penalties if the lease term also reflects the termination option and amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee. Subsequent to initial measurement, the Company measures lease liabilities at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Lease liabilities are remeasured when there is a change in management’s assessment of whether it will exercise a renewal or termination option, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee or there is a change in future lease payments due to a change in index or rate.
Discount rates used in the present value calculation are the interest rates implicit in the leases, or if the rates cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease terms applied are the contractual non-cancellable periods of the leases including renewal and termination options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.
Right-of-use assets are measured at the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. Subsequent to initial measurement, right-of-use assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, and any remeasurements of the lease liability. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life or the lease term. Depreciation is recognized from the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there are any indicators of impairment.
For sale and leaseback transactions, the Company applies the requirements of IFRS 15 to determine whether the transfer of the asset should be accounted for as a sale. If the transfer of the asset is a sale, the Company will measure the right-
10
MJardin Group, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated)
of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained by the Company.
As a lessor, the Company leases out its investment property. As a lessor, the Company classifies its leases as either operating or finance leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the asset and is classified as an operating lease if it does not.
On May 28, 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 16, which provides relief for lessees in accounting for rent concessions granted as a direct consequence of COVID-19. IFRS 16 has been amended to: (i) provide lessees with an exemption from the requirement to determine whether a COVID-19-related rent concession is a lease modification; and (ii) require lessees that apply the exemption to account for COVID-19-related rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. This did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
o) Investment property
An investment property is held by the Company to earn rental income. It is initially measured at fair value with subsequent gains or losses on its asset value going through the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
p) Share capital
In situations where the Company issues units containing a common share and a whole or fractional warranty, the fair value of shares and warrants are recorded based on relative fair values. The relative fair value of the warrants, as calculated as of the date of issue using the Black-Scholes pricing model, is included in the Company's warrants reserve.
q) Share issuance costs
Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of share capital are netted against the proceeds received net of tax. Costs related to the issuance of share capital and incurred prior to issuance are recorded as deferred share issuance costs and subsequently netted against proceeds when they are received.
r) Revenues
Revenue is generated from the sale of cannabis goods to customers and from the provision of management services. To recognize revenue under IFRS 15, the Company applies the following five steps for accounting for revenue from contracts with customers:
-
Identify the contract with a customer
-
Identify the performance obligation(s)
-
Determine the transaction price
-
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s)
-
Recognize revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied
Revenue from the sale of cannabis goods to customers recognized when control over the goods has been transferred to the customer. The Company generally satisfies its performance obligation and transfers control to the customer upon delivery and acceptance by the customer. When historical sales data becomes available, the Company estimates sales returns as a variable consideration to the transaction price of the customer contract. The Company includes this estimate of sales returns as a reduction to revenue earned only if it is highly probable that the inclusion of the sales returns estimate will not result in a significant revenue reversal in the future when the uncertainty of returns has subsequently been resolved.
Management services include the provision of cultivation, processing and retail know-how and back office administration, intellectual property licensing, and lending facilities to medical and adult-use cannabis licensed producers under management service agreements. Revenue from management fees are recognized over the term of the arrangement as services are provided.
The Company defers revenues that have been billed but which do not meet the revenue recognition criteria. Cash received in advance of revenue being recognized is classified as contract liabilities (unearned revenues). Revenue is recorded at the estimated amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. Revenue is presented net of discounts and sales and other related taxes.
s) Earnings (loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if additional common shares are assumed to be issued under securities that entitle their holders to obtain common shares in the future. The number of additional
11
MJardin Group, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated)
shares for inclusion in diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined using the treasury stock method, whereby stock options and warrants, whose exercise price is less than the average market price of the Company’s common shares, are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period with proceeds based on the average market price for the period. The incremental number of common shares issued under stock options and warrants are included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share.
t) Foreign currency translation
Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries having a functional currency other than the Canadian dollar are translated at the rate of exchange at the reporting period date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during the period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transaction are used. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income included in shareholders’ deficiency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to the functional currency using the prevailing rate of exchange at the reporting period date. Gains and losses on translation of monetary items are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss.
u) Income taxes
From time to time, the Company engages in transactions in which the tax consequences may be subject to uncertainty. Examples of such transactions include business acquisitions and dispositions, including dispositions designed to be tax free, issues related to consideration paid or received, investments and certain financing transactions. Significant judgment is required in assessing and estimating the tax consequences of these transactions. The Company prepares and files tax returns based on interpretation of tax laws and regulations. In the normal course of business, our tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in future tax, interest and penalty assessments by these taxing authorities. In determining the Company’s income tax provision, an estimate is made for reserve for uncertain income tax positions unless such positions are determined to be more likely than not of being sustained upon examination based on their technical merits. The Company only recognizes tax benefits taken on the tax return that the Company believes are more likely than not of being sustained. There is considerable judgment involved in determining whether positions taken on the tax return are more likely than not of being sustained.
The Company adjusts its tax reserve estimates as new information is received such as settlements with the various taxing authorities, as well as changes in tax laws, regulations, and interpretations. The consolidated income tax provision of any given year includes adjustments to prior year income tax accruals that are considered appropriate and any related estimated interest. The Company’s policy is to recognize, when applicable, interest and penalties on income tax positions as part of the income tax provision.
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities on the taxable loss or income for the period. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amounts are those enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities are only offset if a legally enforceable right exists to offset the amounts and the Company intends to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
As the Company operates in the United States of America cannabis industry, it is subject to the limits of Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to the cost of producing the products or cost of production. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed unallowable under IRC Section 280E.
The Company is treated as a United States corporation for United States federal income tax purposes under section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code and is expected to be subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide income. However, for Canadian tax purposes, the Company is expected, regardless of any application of section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code, to be treated as a Canadian resident company (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ITA”) for Canadian income tax purposes. As a result, the Company will be subject to taxation both in Canada and the United States.
Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be generated in future periods to utilize these deductible temporary differences.
12
MJardin Group, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated)
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable income will be generated to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable income will be generated to allow the deferred income tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to be in effect in the period when the asset is expected to be realized or the liability is expected to be settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to offset current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
v) Provisions and contingencies
Provisions are recognized when: a) the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event; and b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made for the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax discount rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision as a result of the passage of time is recognized in finance cost in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss.
A contingent liability is not recognized in the case where no reliable estimate can be made; however, disclosure is required unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. By its nature, a contingent liability will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of a contingent liability inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events.
w) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (‘‘FVOCI’’), or fair value through profit and loss (‘‘FVTPL’’). The classification of financial assets is based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss.
The Company initially recognizes financial liabilities at fair value on the date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company classifies its financial liabilities as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or amortized cost.
Subsequent to initial recognition, other liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value with changes being recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.
The Company has classified its cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, due from related parties, long term deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, promissory notes payable, debt, convertible debt, and indemnity liability as amortized cost.
Investments are recorded FVTPL or FVOCI. The Company has made an irrevocable election to classify its investment in DNA Genetics at FVOCI as the Company considers its investment to be strategic in nature.
Impairment
The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company
13
MJardin Group, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated)
compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward-looking information. For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach as permitted by IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The simplified approach to the recognition of expected losses does not require the Company to track the changes in credit risk. Rather, the Company recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date from the date of the trade receivable.
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the counterparty debtor or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Receivables are reviewed qualitatively on a case-by-case basis to determine whether they need to be written off.
Expected credit losses are measured as the difference in the present value of the contractual cash flows that are due to the Company under the contract, and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive. The Company assesses all information available, including past due status, credit ratings, the existence of third-party insurance, and forward looking macro-economic factors in the measurement of the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The Company measures expected credit loss by considering the risk of default over the contract period and incorporates forward-looking information into its measurement.
x) Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Company 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 Company's other components. All operating segments' operating results are reviewed regularly by the Company's senior management to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
Segment results that are reported to the senior management include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Note 3 provides information related to segment information of the Company.
y) Assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations
Non-current assets and liabilities or disposal groups are classified as held for sale and discontinued operations if there carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.
An impairment loss is recognized for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognized for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset or disposal group, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognized. A gain or loss not previously recognized by the date of the sale of the noncurrent asset (or disposal group) is recognized at the date of derecognition.
Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortized while they are classified as held for sale.
Non-current assets and non-current liabilities classified as held for sale and the assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets and liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position.
A discontinued operation is a component of the Company that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss.
z) Share based compensation
The Company measures equity settled share-based payments based on their fair value at the grant date and recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. Stock options are measured on the date of grant by reference to the fair value determined using a BlackScholes valuation model. The value is recognized as share-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements
14
MJardin Group, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated)
of loss and other comprehensive loss and an increase to the options reserve or restricted share unit (RSU) reserve in the consolidated statements of financial position of changes in equity over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled.
For share-based payments granted to non-employees, the compensation expense is measured at the fair value of the goods and services received except where the fair value cannot be estimated in which case it is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted.
aa) Business combinations
The Company uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations when control is acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred, and the equity interest issued by the Company. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest. The excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred including the recognized amount of any non-controlling interest over the fair value of the Company's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
The Company assesses whether a transaction results in an asset or business acquisition using the optional concentration test, which is a simplified assessment that results in an asset acquisition if substantially all of the fair value of the assets is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similarly identifiable assets. If the test is failed, the assessment focuses on the existence of a substantive process. The Company thoroughly assesses whether a transaction is an asset or business acquisition by assessing inputs and determining whether the process is substantive.
The Company elects on a transaction-by-transaction basis whether to measure non-controlling interest at its fair value or its proportionate share of the recognized amount of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred unless they qualify to be treated as debt issuance costs or costs of issuing equity securities
IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Amendments to IFRS 3) clarifies the definition of a business and permits a simplified assessment to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. The amendments are effective for transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020. There was no impact to the consolidated financial statements as a result of this adoption.
bb) Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The critical areas of estimation and/or judgment considered by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements are described below:
Business combinations
Determining whether an acquisition meets the definition of a business combination or represents an asset purchase requires judgment on a case by case basis. As outlined in IFRS 3 Business Combinations, the components of a business must include inputs, processes and outputs.
Management makes judgments in the valuation of the consideration transferred, including determining the value of any contingent consideration. The consideration transferred for an acquired business ("purchase price") is assigned to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets purchased and liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair values at the date of acquisition. The identification of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, and the valuation thereof is judgmental.
Investments
To assess the fair value of the Company’s equity investment in OG DNA Genetics Inc. (“DNA Genetics”) which is not listed on an exchange, the Company determined the fair value using valuation techniques, which require inputs that are significant and unobservable, and therefore, the investment was categorized as Level 3 in the IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement’s fair value hierarchy. The Company uses the latest market transaction price for these securities derived from private placements, which are not publicly observable, and any available independent valuation reports obtained from the entity. Increases (decreases) in the latest market transaction prices will result in a direct increase (decrease) to the fair value of the equity instrument.
Biological assets
Management is required to make several estimates in calculating the fair value less costs to sell of biological assets. These estimates include several assumptions such as estimating the stage of growth of the cannabis, harvesting costs, sales price, and expected yields.
15
MJardin Group, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated)
Estimated useful life of long-lived assets
Judgment is used to estimate each component of a long-lived asset's useful life and is based on an analysis of all pertinent factors including, but not limited to, the expected use of the asset and in the case of an intangible asset, contractual provisions that enable renewal or extension of the asset's legal or contractual life without substantial cost, and renewal history.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Impairment of property, plant and equipment, goodwill, and intangible assets with finite useful lives and indefinite lives are influenced by judgment in defining a CGU and determining the indicators of impairment, and measurements used to measure impairment loss.
The recoverable of long-lived assets is determined using discounted future cash flow models, which incorporate assumptions regarding future events, specifically future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates.
Sales returns
When historical sales data becomes available, the Company estimates sales returns as a variable consideration to the transaction price of the customer contract. The Company includes this estimate of sales returns as a reduction to revenue earned only if it is highly probable that the inclusion of the sales returns estimate will not result in a significant revenue reversal in the future when the uncertainty of returns has subsequently been resolved.
Income taxes
Provisions for taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by taxing authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax ‑ related matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
The Company’s effective income tax rate can vary significantly for various reasons, including the mix and volume of business in lower income tax jurisdictions and in jurisdictions for which no deferred income tax assets have been recognized because management believed it was not probable that future taxable profit would be available against which income tax losses and deductible temporary differences could be utilized.
Determination of share-based payments
The estimation of share-based payments (including stock options and warrants) requires the selection of an appropriate valuation model and consideration as to the inputs necessary for the valuation model chosen. The model used by the Company is the Black-Scholes valuation model at the date of the grant. The Company makes estimates as to the volatility, forfeitures, expected life, dividend yield and the time of exercise, as applicable. The expected volatility is based on the average volatility of share prices of similar companies over the period of the expected life of the applicable options and warrants. The expected life is based on historical data. These estimates may not necessarily be indicative of future actual patterns.
Functional currency
The functional currency for each of the Company’s subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the respective entity operates. Such determination involves certain judgments to identify the primary economic environment. The Company reconsiders the functional currency of its subsidiaries if there is a change in events and/or conditions which determine the primary economic environment.
Going concern
At end of each reporting period, management excises judgment in assessing whether there is a going concern issue by reviewing the Company’s performance, resources and future obligations. Management acknowledges that there is significant uncertainty over the Company's ability to meet its funding requirements as they fall due. The Company’s ability to continue in the normal course of operations is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital through debt and equity financings and to start generating positive cash flow from operating activities. While the Company has been successful in raising capital in the past, there is no assurance that it will be successful in closing further financing in the future.
Expected credit losses (“ECL”)
The ECL model requires considerable judgment, including consideration of how changes in economic factors affect ECLs, which are determined on a probability-weighted basis. The historical results were used to calculate the run rates of default which were then applied over the expected life of the trade receivables, adjusted for forward looking estimates.
16
MJardin Group, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated)
Where applicable the Company monitors and manages credit losses/default rates of comparable debt instruments with data from utilizing ratings agency for the assessment of significant notes receivables.
Lease incremental borrowing rate
Determining the Company’s incremental borrowing rate involves estimation. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate, determined by an independent third party, represents the rate of interest a lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. To determine the incremental borrowing rate, a company-specific credit spread was estimated by analyzing the terms of the Company’s long-term debt and was added to a base risk-free rate corresponding to the currency in which the relevant lease is denominated.
cc) Future accounting pronouncements not yet adopted in 2020
Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods after December 31, 2020.
IAS 37 Onerous contracts – cost of fulfilling a contract
On May 14, 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 37 to specify that the cost of fulfilling a contract comprises the costs that relate directly to the contract. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. This amendment is effective on January 1, 2022. The Company intends to adopt this amendment in its consolidated financial statement for the annual period beginning January 1, 2022. The extent of the impact of the adoption of this amendment has not yet been determined.
IAS 1 Classification of liabilities as current or non-current
On January 23, 2020, an amendment was issued to IAS 1 to address inconsistencies with how entities apply the standards over classification of current and non-current liabilities. The amendment serves to address whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement should be classified as current or non-current. This amendment is effective on January 1, 2023. The Company intends to adopt this amendment in its consolidated financial statement for the annual period beginning January 1, 2023. The extent of the impact of the adoption of this amendment has not yet been determined.
All other IFRSs and amendments issued but not yet effective have been assessed by the Company and are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Management monitors the results of the Company’s operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocations and performance assessments. Segment performance is evaluated based on future cash flow projections of different segments and is measured consistently with actual operational profit or loss. In measuring segment performance, segment assets, and segment liabilities, management applies certain judgments and assumptions to determine the appropriate allocation of central costs, shared assets and liabilities to individual segments.
The Company’s operating segments are as follows:

7. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS AND INVENTORY
The following table is a summary of the movement in the biological assets for the periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:
and 2019: |
|
|---|---|
| $ Amount | |
| Balance at January 1, 2019 | 139,744 |
| Unrealized gain on changes in fair value of biological assets | 689,782 |
| Production costs capitalized | 546,200 |
| Transferred to inventoryupon harvest | (1,227,517) |
| Balance at December 31, 2019 | 148,209 |
| Production costs capitalized | 3,417,909 |
| Unrealized gain on changes in fair value of biological assets | 3,827,226 |
| Transferred to inventoryupon harvest | (5,780,527) |
| Balance at December 31, 2020 | 1,612,817 |
All of the plants are to be harvested as agricultural produce. As at December 31, 2020, all of the plants to be harvested are between 1 and 11 weeks from harvest (2019 - 6 and 8 weeks) and the life cycle is estimated to be 90 to 120 days (2019 - 110 to 117 days).
Biological assets are classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. There have been no transfers between levels.
20
MJardin Group, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated)
To determine fair value, the Company:
-
Multiplies the expected yield in grams per plant and the expected selling price per gram;
-
Deducts selling costs and remaining costs to be incurred in order to complete the harvest and bring the harvested product to finished inventory from the expected selling price.
The fair value was determined using a valuation model, which assumes the biological assets at the consolidated statements of financial position date will grow to maturity, be harvested and converted into finished goods inventory and sold in the recreational cannabis market. The Company’s method of accounting for biological assets is to attribute value accretion on a straight-line basis throughout the life of the biological asset from initial cloning to the point of harvest.
Production costs represent the cash costs incurred by the Company to propagate, cultivate and grow biological assets. The Company elects to capitalize production costs related to flower production expected to be obtained from biological assets and expenses these costs to cost of goods sold as the inventory is sold. These costs include such costs as direct labour, fertigation materials and production supplies, energy costs, quality control costs such as sanitation and lab work, and an allocation of overhead costs. Shipping and fulfillment charges are expensed to cost of goods sold in the period in which the costs are incurred.
As at December 31, 2020, the Company estimates harvest yields for the plants based on the current stage of growth to have a value of $1,612,817 (2019 - $148,209). As at December 31, 2020, the weighted average selling price used in the valuation is $5.22 per gram (2019 - $3.28 per gram) and is based on an adjusted expected future sales mix, of all dried cannabis sales and can vary based on the different strains produced and the expected sales channel. The Company estimates percentage of costs incurred on a straight-line basis based on the number of days of growth. Plants on hand as at December 31, 2020 have incurred an average of 57% of costs to harvest (2019 - 60%).
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s biological assets produced 204,326 grams of dried cannabis including trim (2019 - 524,367 grams). As at December 31, 2020, it is expected the Company’s biological assets will yield approximately 614,642 grams excluding trim (December 31, 2019 - 97,057 grams).
The Company’s estimates are, by their nature, subject to change. Changes in the anticipated yield will be reflected in future changes in the unrealized gain or loss on changes in fair value of biological assets. The following table quantifies each significant unobservable input and provides the impact of a reasonable increase/decrease that each input would have on the fair value of the Company’s biological assets.

a) Atlanticann Medical Inc. (“AMI”)
This investment has been accounted for under the equity method as the Company’s investment provides it with significant influence over AMI, but not control.
During the third quarter of 2020, AMI terminated the previously signed master service agreement with the Company, which had a ten-year term and was executed in 2019. As a result, the Company received $1.8 million from AMI in lieu of ongoing license fee payments that were required under the master service agreement; the Company also had $0.2 million held in escrow from AMI. The Company’s cultivation management support for the AMI operation has been substantially reduced in connection with the buyout and is expected to be completed by the end of 2020. The Company recognized a gain of $1,988,986 for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in revenue on the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss. See Note 20 for further details. The Company also recognized $11,014 unearned revenue within accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020.
b) DNA Genetics Inc.
In 2018, the Company made an irrevocable election to classify its investment in DNA Genetics at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) as the Company considers its investment to be strategic in nature.
To assess the fair value of this investment, since DNA Genetics is not listed on an exchange, the Company determined the fair value using valuation techniques, which require inputs that are significant and unobservable, and therefore, were categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses the latest market transaction price for these securities derived from private placements, which are not publicly observable, and any available independent valuation reports obtained from the entity. Increases (decreases) in the latest market transaction prices will result in a direct increase (decrease) to the fair value of the equity instrument. The Company reviewed DNA Genetics’ shareholders update presentation for the year ended December 31, 2020 to assess whether any change in fair value, other than due to the foreign exchange movement in the investment balance, was to be recorded.
Consistent with the election made on the initial recognition of the DNA Genetics investment, only dividend income is recognized in profit or loss. There were no dividends issued by DNA Genetics for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. All other gains and losses are recognized in OCI without reclassification on derecognition. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a $38,399 loss on change in FVTOCI due to foreign exchange rate movement (2019 - $6,236,700 due to foreign exchange rate movement and impairment of the equity investment).

In 2018, the Company entered into a secured demand revolving loan agreement with a senior lender which provided up to support operational facilities in Canada. The loans are guaranteed by GrowForce Manitoba Inc., 8586985 Canada Corporation, Grand River Organics Incorporated, Highgrade MMJ Corporation (the "Guarantors"). The loans are secured by a general security agreement signed by the Guarantors constituting a first ranking security interest in all personal property of such Guarantor.
In the second quarter of 2020, the Company and its senior lender executed amendments to its existing loan agreements. The interest payable on existing loan balances will accrue and be added to the loan principal until May 1, 2022. The Company is no longer required to make monthly principal payments on the loan effective July 1, 2020.
As a result of the amendment, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a loss on loan modification of $90,364, which is offset against the gain on the modified loans owed by the US facilities of $454,084, and is included in the gain on loan modifications line in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss. The effective interest rates on the loans after the amendment range from 11.58% to 14.99%. Refer to Note 23 for the interest expense incurred on the debt facilities for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
(b) Loans owed by US facilities
In 2017, the Company closed a demand loan facility provided by a senior lender. The loan is secured via conditions set forth in a general security agreement with an interest rate of BNS prime rate plus 9.55% per annum.
In the second quarter of 2020, the Company and its senior lender executed amendments to its existing loan agreements. Under the amendments, the Company has increased its loan capacity by $7 million. This $7 million additional loan is payable on demand. The interest payable on existing loan balances will accrue and be added to the loan principal until May 1, 2022.
As a result of the amendment, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a gain on loan modification of $454,084 that is included in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss. As at December 31, 2020, the Company has fully drawn down the $7 million additional loan capacity. The effective interest rates on the loans after the amendment range from 17.10% to 18.77%. Refer to Note 23 for the interest expense incurred on the debt facilities for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
(c) Financial covenants of new loans
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not make a scheduled repayment of the term loans and did not meet its two financial covenants pursuant to the debt facilities, the Senior Leverage Ratio being less than 4.5 to 1.0 and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio being greater than 1.2 to 1.0 for the last fiscal quarter of 2020.
The Senior Leverage Ratio is calculated as the amortized cost of the debt divided by the absolute value of four times the adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure defined in the 2020 management discussion and analysis. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is calculated as (i) adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures divided by (ii) the sum of interest expense, cash taxes paid, scheduled debt amortization payments or redemptions, and rents payable under leases excluding interest. The Company has agreed to deliver to the lender on or prior to the date that is 15 days after the end of each fiscal quarter, a certificate signed by a senior officer of the Company setting out the calculation of the Senior Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the reference period ending on the last day of the most recently completed quarter and that confirms compliance with the financial covenants. As at December 31, 2020, the Company was not in compliance with the financial covenants.

16. INDEMNITY LIABILITY, APPELLATE BOND, AND LITIGATION RECOVERY
In 2018, the Company acquired the debt of 2G Ventures, LLC (“2G”); 3B Ventures, LLC; and various legal entities who owned the trademark and trade name of ‘Buddy Boy Brands’ and the land and building located at 2426 South Federal and 5040 York St. in Denver, Colorado. Upon completion of the acquisition, US $2 million of the total purchase price was held back and deposited into an escrow account to settle undisclosed liabilities and other closing conditions.
2G was informed of an adverse court judgment from a claim initiated in 2016. The damages awarded were approximately US $3.7 million. This lawsuit was not disclosed as part of the acquisition. Further, 2G decided to appeal the judgment. In the event of an appeal, the appellant is required to post a bond on a dollar-for-dollar basis plus 30% to cover costs
27
MJardin Group, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated)
and interest that may have accrued. As a result, 2G required US $3.9 million to post the appellate bond, which was paid by the Company on behalf of 2G.
The Company reached a settlement agreement with the vendors of the acquisition. As part of the settlement, both the vendors and the Company would equally share in the loss, although funding of the bond was US $1.7 million by the vendors and US $2.2 million by the Company, totaling up to US $3.9 million as required by the appellant. The Company fronted the US $1.7 million cash amount, which is the vendors’ US $1.7 million contribution that was agreed by both parties to be funded from releasing the funding from the escrow. The Company’s US $2.2 million was funded from cash resources on hand.
At the time of the settlement, 2G believed that the court decision had a likelihood of not being overturned, so therefore, the Company wrote off the full US $3.9 million bond in 2018 due to the uncertainty around the decision being overturned under appeal.
In the fourth quarter of 2020, the court ruled that the initial judgment would not be reversed, and the appellate bond would not be recovered. As a result of that court judgment and the settlement agreement, the Company no longer needs to replenish the escrow funds towards the 2018 acquisition. Therefore, the reversal of the indemnity liability was recorded as a non-cash litigation recovery of the previously recognized US $3.9 million impairment. As confirmed by the bond insurer, the Company has an outstanding receivable of US $175,450 as at December 31, 2020, which means, in effect, the Company will recover that amount from the lawsuit.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $223,383 (US $175,450) for the appellate bond in prepaid expenses and other assets within the statements of financial position (Note 5) and a non-cash litigation recovery of $2,515,822 (US $1,875,450) included in other income on the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss (Note 25).

(b) Restricted share unit (RSU) reserve
RSUs are equity-settled share-based payments. RSUs are measured at the fair value on the date of grant based on the closing price of the Company’s shares on the grant date and is recognized as share-based compensation expense over the vesting period with a corresponding credit to RSU reserves. The amount recognized for services received as consideration for the RSUs granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. Upon the release of RSUs, the RSU reserves are transferred to common shares. Under the terms of the RSU plan, directors, officers, and employees of the Company may be granted RSUs that are released as common shares upon completion of the vesting period. Each RSU gives the participant the right to receive one common share of the Company. The key inputs and assumptions used to determine the fair value on the grant date consist of the closing price of the Company’s shares, the expiry date of the RSUs, and the number of RSUs granted to the individual.
In accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payments, RSUs that were cancelled or expired during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are accounted for as an acceleration of vesting, where the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services rendered over the remainder of the vesting period is recognized immediately at the time of cancellation or expiry.

22. EXPECTED CREDIT LOSS (“ECL”)
The Company has three categories of receivables, each of which is separately assessed for determination of ECL requirements.
-
a) Promissory notes and accrued interest, see Note 13;
-
b) Trade accounts receivable, see Note 4; and
-
c) Due from related parties, see Note 17b.
a) Promissory notes receivable
In 2019, management determined that all promissory notes were in default status under the agreement terms as no interest payments had been received since the inception of the loan. As a result, the entire principal and interest balance was impaired.

b) Trade receivables and due from related parties
As at December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s accounts receivable is categorized into the following categories:
- i) US management services provided to cultivation and dispensary operations in Colorado and Nevada; ii) Rental charges for real estate in Denver, Colorado; and iii) Management services in Canada from AMI (the Company holds a 39% interest in AMI).
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company negotiated for revised management services agreements with several customers, which included negotiated settlements, payment plans, revised fees and revised fee structures for services to be provided. In 2020, all US managed services clients made payments against amounts receivable to the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the impairment amount recorded was $778,945 (2019 - $2,964,355) for accounts receivable customers and $212,012 (2019 - $998,615) for due from related parties.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a total impairment provision of $990,958 (2019 – $27,301,843) based on detailed assessments of past payment performance and future payment expectations based on creditworthiness of each individual customer and forecast projections of economic conditions in which the customers operate.

24. GAIN ON DISPOSITION OF GREENMART
In 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell all of its interest in GreenMart of Nevada, LLC (“GreenMart”) for total consideration of US $34.3 million that is comprised of US $30 million received by the Company on December 31, 2019 plus US $4.3 million due upon the license transferring to the purchaser, subject to regulatory approvals. Effective August 14, 2020, the Company signed a managed services agreement (“MSA”) between the Company and Harvest Health and Recreation Inc. (“Harvest”) to transfer the risk and rewards associated with GreenMart. As a result, the Company has relinquished control of GreenMart as defined under IFRS 10, resulting in a gain on disposition in the amount of $23.3 million (US $17.7 million) recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss. The closing conditions associated with the purchase and sale agreement (“PSA”), mainly the approval of the license transfer by the State of Nevada, are expected to be fulfilled in 2021. The results of operations up until the date of disposition on August 13, 2020 are presented as a loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss and further details can be found in Note 6. The following is a breakdown of the gain on disposition of GreenMart for the year ended December 31, 2020:

26. IMPAIRMENT
As at December 31, 2020, the Company performed an assessment for indicators of impairment for all CGUs. The CGUs are the operating segments described in Note 3. The Company considers external and internal factors, including overall financial performance and relevant entity specific factors, as part of this assessment. The following factors were identified as impairment indicators:
-
i. Market capitalization deficiency – As at December 31, 2020, there is a significant deficiency in comparing the market capitalization of the Company to its book value.
-
ii. Industry conditions – Constraints in the provincial retail distribution network, including a slower than expected ramp-up of sales in retail stores across Canada, has resulted in a decrease of expected sales and profitability.
-
iii. Termination of MSAs – This has substantially reduced the expected revenue from the CGU for the cultivation management segment in the USA.
The Company allocated its intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment to its segments for the purpose of impairment testing. This represents the lowest level at which management monitors intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment. The table below is a summary of the carrying value broken down by CGU prior to the recognition of any impairments during the year ended December 31, 2020:
| Cultivation | Cultivation | |
|---|---|---|
| management in USA | operations in Canada | |
| As at December 31, 2020 | $ | $ |
| Licenses, permits and applications | - | 8,571,376 |
| Brands and trademarks | 2,833,700 | - |
| Property, plant and equipment | 2,257,731 | 44,029,946 |
| Total carrying value | 5,091,431 | 52,601,322 |
The operating segment for the cultivation operations in Canada is comprised of the Will, GRO, and Warman facilities. Management tested the individual CGUs before testing the CGU’s grouping. The recoverable amount of the cultivation operations in Canada was determined based on fair value less cost of disposal (“FVLCD”) using level 3 inputs in a market approach methodology. A capitalized earnings approach to the valuation was applied to determine the recoverable amount using FVLCD for the managed services CGU.
The following table summarizes the impairment recognized on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss:

Will CGU
The Company’s WILL CGU represents its cash flows from its Brampton, Ontario facility dedicated to the cultivation and sale of cannabis products within Canada. This CGU is attributed to the Company’s operating segment for the cultivation operations in Canada. To determine the FVLCD, the Company reviewed precedent transactions over the past 12 months involving indoor cultivation facilities in Canada. The Company determined that the FVLCD was below the carrying value of the CGU. The Company first allocated the impairment of $8.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 (2019 - $nil) to licenses, permits, and applications. The remaining amount was than allocated to property, plant and equipment using the replacement cost method resulting in an impairment of $0.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 (2019 - $nil). No individual asset was reduced below its fair value. There were no other assets to allocate the remaining impairment from the FVLCD approach, and therefore, no further impairment recorded.
GRO CGU
The Company’s GRO CGU represents its cash flows from its Dunnville, Ontario facility dedicated to the cultivation and sale of cannabis products in Canada. This CGU is attributed to the Company’s operating segment for the cultivation facilities in Canada. To determine the FVLCD, the Company reviewed precedent transactions over the past 12 months involving indoor cultivation facilities in Canada. The Company determined that the FVLCD was below the carrying value of the CGU. The Company allocated the impairment to property, plant and equipment using the replacement cost method resulting in an impairment of $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 (2019 - $nil). No individual assets were reduced below its fair value. There were no other assets to allocate the remaining impairment from the FVLCD approach, and therefore, no further impairment recorded. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment of $2.3 million to licenses, permits and applications.
Warman CGU
The Company’s Warman CGU represents its cash flows from its Winnipeg, Manitoba facility dedicated to the cultivation and sale of cannabis products in Canada. This CGU is attributed to the Company’s operating segment for the cultivation facilities in Canada. The Company used the replacement cost method to determine the fair value of property, plant and equipment. As a result of the impairment test, management concluded that the carrying amount was higher than the fair value and recorded an impairment of $5.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 (2019 - $nil) to the CGU’s property, plant, and equipment. Management allocated the impairment loss to specific property, plant and equipment identified to have carrying value above its fair value. No individual assets were reduced below its fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment of $41.3 million to licenses, permits and applications.
Cultivation management in USA CGU
Significant assumptions applied in the determination of the recoverable amount are described below:
| As at December | ||
|---|---|---|
| 31, 2020 | ||
| Total annualized revenue | $ | 442,976 |
| Capitalization rate | 15% | |
| Cost of disposal | $ | 100,000 |
| Fair value less cost to sell | $ | 2,015,000 |
The Company’s cultivation management in USA CGU represents its operations related to its rental properties to licensed cannabis producers and the use of brands, trademarks, and any professional services for the cultivation and sale of cannabis products in the United States. This CGU is attributed to the Company’s operating segment for managed services. As a result of the impairment test, management concluded that the carrying value was higher than the recoverable amount and recorded an impairment of $1.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 (2019 - $2.8
37

million) to its brands and trademarks. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment of $5.9 million to property, plant and equipment.
Prior Year Goodwill Impairment
The goodwill impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2019 allocated to the cultivation operations in Canada and cultivation management in USA operating segments are $121.0 million and $18.3 million, respectively.
27. INCOME TAXES
The reconciliation of the combined Canadian and U.S. federal, provincial, and state corporate income taxes, and to the Company’s effective income tax expenses is as follows:
| December 31, | December 31, | |

| Current income tax expense | 6,181,504 | 7,045,535 |
| Deferred income tax recovery | (671,902) | (11,348,531) |
| Total income tax expense(recovery) | 5,509,602 | (4,302,996) |
As many of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries operate in the cannabis industry and are subject to the limitations of IRC Section 280E, the impact results in a permanent tax difference as a disallowed tax deduction. Therefore, the U.S. effective tax rate can be highly variable and may not necessarily correlate with pre-tax income or loss due to the material impact of Section 280E.
IFRIC 23 provides guidance that adds to the requirements in IAS 12 Income Taxes by specifying how to reflect the effects of uncertainty in accounting for income taxes. IFRIC 23 requires an entity to determine whether uncertain tax positions are assessed separately or as a group and to assess whether it is probable that a tax authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment used, or proposed to be used, by an entity in its income tax filings. If yes, the entity should determine its accounting tax position consistently with the tax treatment used or planned to be used in its income tax filings. If no, the entity should reflect the effect of uncertainty in determining its accounting tax position. IFRIC 23 was adopted on January 1, 2019 and is to be applied retrospectively or on a cumulative retrospective basis. Under IFRIC 23, the Company has an uncertain tax position as at December 31, 2020 of $15,775,188 (2019 - $10,808,184) related to the limitations under Section 280E.

28. LOSS PER SHARE
As the Company incurred net losses during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. As the effect of the outstanding RSUs, options, warrants, and convertible debt are anti-dilutive as at December 31, 2020, diluted loss per share does not differ from basic loss per share. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the impact of outstanding RSUs, outstanding options, and outstanding warrants were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share.
29. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company does not have any material commitments other than those previously disclosed in these consolidated statements of financial position. The table in Note 30 b), summarizes the amounts and maturity dates of the Company's contractual obligations as at December 31, 2020.
The Company is subject to certain claims and potential claims. Refer to Note 16 where the indemnity liability, appellate bond, and litigation recovery in 2020 are discussed. The Company does not expect any of these, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial results. The outcome of all proceedings and claims against the Company are subject to future resolution that includes the uncertainties of litigation. It is not possible for us to predict the result or magnitude of the claims due to the various factors and uncertainties involved in the legal process. Based on information currently known to us, we believe it is not probable that the ultimate resolution of any of these proceedings and claims, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial results, or financial condition. If it becomes probable that we will be held liable for claims against us, we will recognize a provision during the period in which the change in probability occurs, which could be material to the consolidated statements of financial position.
30. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Fair Value Hierarchy
The estimated fair values of the cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, promissory notes payable, and indemnity liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term nature of the instruments. The estimated fair values of long-term deposits and long-term debt approximate carrying values since effective interest rates are not significantly different from market rate. The carrying value of the debt differs from the fair value due to transaction costs.
Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 – valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 – valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
40
MJardin Group, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated)
Since DNA Genetics is not listed on an exchange, the Company determined the fair value of the equity investment using valuation techniques using inputs that are not based on observable market data. It was, therefore, categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses the latest market transaction price for these securities derived from private placements, which are not publicly observable, and any available independent valuation reports obtained from the entity. Increases (decreases) in the latest market transaction prices will result in a direct increase (decrease) to the fair value of the equity instrument. The Company reviewed DNA Genetics’ shareholders update presentation for the year ended December 31, 2020 to assess whether any change in fair value, other than due to the foreign exchange movement in the investment balance, was to be recorded.
There have been no changes to the classification of financial instruments using the fair value hierarchy as shown below:
| $ | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| As at December 31, 2020 | ||||
| Investment in DNA Genetics | - | - | 1,910,101 | 1,910,101 |
| As at December 31, 2019 | ||||
| Investment in DNA Genetics | - | - | 1,948,500 | 1,948,500 |
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is moderately exposed to credit risk from its cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and related parties receivable. The Company assessed the collectability of its accounts receivable and related party receivable and for the year ended December 31, 2020 recognized an expected credit loss of $739,314 and $201,226 for accounts receivable and related parties receivable, respectively (December 31, 2019 - $103,904 and $74,795). See Note 22 on the rationale for why an expected credit loss was recognized. The risk for cash is mitigated by holding these instruments with highly rated financial institutions. The Company does not invest in asset-backed deposits or investments and does not expect any credit losses. Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from the sales tax credits that the Company expects to fully recover. The risk exposure is limited to their carrying amounts at the statements of financial position date. As at December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s maximum percentage exposure to credit risk is represented by its largest customer in dollar value. This amounts to 46% and 33%, respectively, of consolidated accounts receivable. As at December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s maximum dollar value exposure to credit risk is $10,163,990 and $22,246,589, respectively. This is determined as the total amount of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and due from related parties as at the date of the consolidated statements of financial position.
(b) 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 actively manages its liquidity through cash and equity management strategies. Such strategies include continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows from operating, financing, and investing activities.
The Company's cash flow is generated from cannabis sales and debt financing or equity raises. The Company monitors cash on a regular basis and reviews accounts payable, expenses, taxes, and overhead to ensure costs and commitments are being paid in a timely manner. Management has worked with and negotiated with vendors to ensure payment arrangements are satisfactory to all parties and that monthly cash commitments are managed within the Company’s operating cash flow capabilities. The Company has generated $1,589,516 revenue from cannabis produced for the year ended December 31, 2020 (2019 - $2,052,258), which provides operating cash flow to address liquidity risk. See Note 20. The Company also repaid $5,852,665 of principal and interest amounts on the promissory note payable during the year ended December 31, 2020 (2019 - $nil), which reduces the liquidity risk for the year.
In the second quarter of 2020, the Company and its senior lender executed amendments to its existing loan agreements. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not make a scheduled repayment of the term loans and did not meet its financial covenants pursuant to the debt facilities. On April 21, 2021, the Company received a signed waiver from the senior lender for the breach of its financial covenants under the loan agreements in-force as at December 31, 2020. Under the terms of the waiver, the entirety of the principal balance, including accrued interest payable up until the repayment date, is due May 1, 2022.
As at December 31, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $1,511,921. The following table summarizes amounts and maturity dates of the Company's contractual obligations as at December 31, 2020:

(c) Market risk
Currency risk
Currency risk arises due to fluctuations in the fair value or cash flows of financial instruments due to changes in foreign exchange rates. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had functional currencies of Canadian dollars and US dollars for US subsidiaries’ financial assets and liabilities for which cash flows were denominated in foreign currencies. Management closely monitors the fluctuation of the Company’s foreign currency and believes the foreign currency exchange risk derived from its other activities is low, so therefore, does not hedge the foreign currency exchange risk arising from these activities. The impact on net income (loss) from changes in the foreign exchange rates are shown in the table below:
| USD/CAD | Net income(loss) | Net income(loss) |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | |
| -100 bps + 100 bps |
- 100 bps + 100 bps |
|
| (347,936) $ 347,936 $ (252,483) $ 252,483 $ |
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has no interest-bearing assets other than cash. The Company's debt facilities carry interest at prime rate plus a fixed rate. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the prime rate.
The table below details the effect on income (loss) before tax of a 100-basis points strengthening or weakening of the BNS Prime Rate on the debt facilities. 100-basis points sensitivity is the sensitivity rate used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates:
| BNS Prime rate | Net income(loss) | Net income(loss) |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | |
| -100 bps + 100 bps |
- 100 bps + 100 bps |
|
| 1,827,368 $ (1,844,014) $ 1,564,722 $ (1,578,976) $ |
31. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure that there are adequate capital resources to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and maintain adequate levels of funding to support its ongoing operations and development such that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
In the second quarter of 2020, the Company executed amendments to its loan agreements with its senior lender allowing it to defer principal and interest payments and waive requirements to meet its debt covenants until a later date. Details of the amendments are provided in Note 14.
The capital structure of the Company consists of items included in equity and debt, net of cash. The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it considering changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the Company's underlying assets. The Company plans to use existing funds, as well as funds from the future sale of products
