NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019
(Unaudited - expressed in CDN $000's except share amounts)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Organigram Holdings Inc. (the "Company") is a publicly traded corporation with its common shares trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol "OGI" and on the Nasdaq Global Select Market ("NASDAQ") under the symbol "OGI". The address of the registered office of the Company is 35 English Drive, Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, E1E 3X3.
The Company's major subsidiaries are Organigram Inc., a licensed producer ("LP" or "Licensed Producer") of cannabis and cannabis derived products in Canada regulated by Health Canada under the Cannabis Act and the Cannabis Regulations of Canada, and 10870277 Canada Inc., a holding company.
Organigram Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the Province of New Brunswick, Canada, on March 1, 2013. 10870277 Canada Inc. and Organigram Holdings Inc. were incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
i) Statement of compliance
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as issued by the IASB. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended August 31, 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those applied in the annual consolidated financial statements with the exception of those described in Note 3.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on July 17, 2020.
ii) Basis of measurement
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for biological assets, short-term investments, share-based compensation, and contingent share consideration, which are measured at fair value.
Historical cost is the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services, which is generally based upon the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets at the time of the transaction.
iii) Basis of consolidation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances. Subsidiaries are entities the Company controls when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity.
iv) COVID-19 Estimation Uncertainty
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. Government measures to limit the spread of COVID-19, including the closure of non-essential businesses, disrupted the Company's operations during the three months ended May 31, 2020.
The production and sale of cannabis have been recognized as essential services across Canada, however COVID-19 pandemic related challenges have persisted including, but not limited to, reduced staffing levels, production inefficiencies resulting from increased health and safety measures, and limited supply chain issues. For the three months ended May 31, 2020, the Company recorded impairments against its assets (inventories and property, plant and equipment) due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Due to the ongoing developments and uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, it is not possible to predict the continuing impact that COVID-19 will have on the Company, its financial position, and/or operating results in the future. In addition, it is possible that estimates in the Company's financial statements will change in the near-term as a result of COVID-19, and the effect of any such changes could be material, which could result in, among other things, further impairment of inventories and long-lived assets including intangible assets. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business.
v) Inventories Provisions - Significant Estimates and Judgment
The Company records inventories provisions for obsolete and unsaleable inventories. Inventories provisions are based on obsolescence trends, historical experience, and forecast demand and pricing for obsolete and unsaleable inventories.
vi) Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company's and its subsidiaries' functional currency, except for the Company's investment in its associate, alpha-cannabis Pharma GmbH, for which the functional currency has been determined to be Euros.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than an operation's functional currency are recognized in the condensed consolidated interim statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income.
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Canadian dollars at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Canadian dollars using average exchange rates for the month during which the transactions occurred. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in the accumulated other comprehensive loss account.
When the Company disposes of its entire interest in a foreign operation, or loses control over a foreign operation, the foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) related to the foreign operation are recognized in profit or loss. If the Company disposes of part of an interest in a foreign operation that remains a subsidiary, a proportionate amount of foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) related to the subsidiary is reallocated between controlling and non-controlling interests.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED
New or amended standards effective September 1, 2019
The Company has adopted the following new or amended IFRS standard for the annual period beginning on September 1, 2019:
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases, which replaced IAS 17 Leases. This standard introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than twelve months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The standard was effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 and has been adopted by the Company effective September 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach where comparative figures were not restated.
As a result of adopting IFRS 16, the Company recognized right-of use ("ROU") assets of $2,244 recorded under property, plant and equipment (Note 8), lease liabilities of $2,219 recorded under other liabilities (Note 12), and a reduction to prepaid expenses of $25 as a result of the leasing arrangements in place at September 1, 2019 and entered into during the nine months ended May 31, 2020 by the Company.
The right to use the leased asset was measured at the amount of the lease liability, using the Company's incremental borrowing rate on September 1, 2019 that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the ROU asset in a similar economic environment. The weighted average interest rate as of September 1, 2019 to measure the lease liabilities was 5.70%.
The Company elected to use the following practical expedients on adoption of IFRS 16 on all of its leases:
(a) In accordance with IFRS 16.C3, an election is being taken to not reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease at the date of initial application, and instead to only apply IFRS 16 to contracts that were in the scope of IAS 17;
(b) In accordance with IFRS 16.C8(b)(ii), an election is being taken to measure the ROU asset on September 1, 2019 as an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted for prepaid or accrued lease payments;
(c) In accordance with IFRS 16.C10(a), an election is being taken to apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
(d) In accordance with IFRS 16.C10(b), an election is being taken to rely on the IAS 37 assessment of whether leases are onerous instead of performing an impairment review;
(e) In accordance with IFRS 16.C10(c), an election is being taken to exclude leases for which the term ends within 12 months from September 1, 2019;
(f) In accordance with IFRS 16.C10(d), an election is being taken to exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of the ROU asset on September 1, 2019;
(g) In accordance with IFRS 16.15, an election is being taken, by class of underlying asset, not to separate non-lease components from lease components, and instead account for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component where the non-lease components are not significant compared to the lease components;
(h) In accordance with IFRS 16.5(a), an election is being taken to not recognize an ROU asset and lease liability for leases for which the lease has a term less than 12 months; and
(i) In accordance with IFRS 16.5(b), an election is being taken to not recognize an ROU asset and lease liability for leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, which is defined to mean less than $5,000 USD when new.
The following is a reconciliation between the Company's operating lease commitments disclosed applying IAS 17 as at August 31, 2019 and the lease liabilities as at September 1, 2019 after adopting IFRS 16:
Reconciliation - IAS 17 to IFRS 16
Operating lease obligations as at August 31, 2019 $ 3,049
Minimum Future payments not related to lease payments (411 )
Lease payments for renewal options reasonably expected to be exercised but not contractually obligated 655
Relief option for short-term leases (538 )
Relief option for leases of low-value assets (76 )
Gross lease liabilities at September 1, 2019 2,679
Discounting (459 )
Present value of lease liabilities at September 1, 2019 $ 2,220
New Accounting Pronouncements
The following IFRS standards have been recently issued by the IASB. Pronouncements that are irrelevant or not expected to have a significant impact have been excluded.
Amendments to IFRS 3: Definition of a Business
In October 2018, the IASB issued "Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3)". The amendments clarify the definition of a business, with the objective of assisting entities to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. The amendment provides an assessment framework to determine when a series of integrated activities is not a business. The amendments are effective for business combinations occurring on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of these amendments on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
The amendment clarifies the requirements relating to determining if a liability should be presented as current or non-current in the statement of financial position. Under the new requirement, the assessment of whether a liability is presented as current or non-current is based on the contractual arrangements in place as at the reporting date and does not impact the amount or timing of recognition. The amendment applies retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of these amendments on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
4. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company's accounts receivable included the following balances as of May 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019:
MAY 31, 2020 AUGUST 31, 2019
Trade receivables $ 6,683 $ 11,900

On April 1, 2020, Department of Finance Canada announced the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS), which would subsidize 75% of employee wages, retroactive from March 15, 2020 to June 6, 2020 to Canadian employers whose businesses had been affected by COVID-19 to enable them to re-hire workers previously laid off as a result of pandemic, help prevent further job losses, and to better position companies to resume normal operations following the crisis. Under this program, the Company applied for a wage subsidy of $2,337 for the period March 15 to May 9, 2020 and has accrued $900 for the period May 10 to May 31, 2020, the total of which is included under government programs above.
On July 26, 2019, the Company entered into an advance payment and support agreement ("Payment Agreement") with 703454 N.B. Inc. (carrying on business as 1812 Hemp) ("1812 Hemp"). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to advance up to $3,000 until October 31, 2019 to 1812 Hemp in the form of a secured loan. These amounts may be applied against future purchases of hemp under the license and supply agreement described in Note 9. The aggregate amount of advances outstanding as of January 1, 2020 accrue interest of 9.0% per annum, calculated monthly, until the entire balance of advances is paid. The advances must be repaid on June 30, 2021, however any purchases of hemp from time to time will reduce the outstanding balance of the advances. At May 31, 2020, $2,229 was outstanding with respect to the Payment Agreement, which has been classified entirely as long-term based on the Company's estimated purchases of hemp and expected repayment rate.
6. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS
The Company measures biological assets, which consist of cannabis plants, at fair value less costs to sell up to the point of harvest, which then becomes the basis for the cost of finished goods inventories after harvest. Subsequent expenditures incurred on these finished goods inventories after harvest are capitalized based on IAS 2 Inventories.
The changes in the carrying value of biological assets as of May 31, 2020 are as follows:
OTHER BIOLOGICAL ASSETS CANNABIS ON PLANTS TOTAL
Carrying amount, August 31, 2019 $ 3 $ 20,649 $ 20,652
Add net production costs (1 ) 33,125 33,124
Net change in fair value less costs to sell due to biological transformation - 87 87
Deduct net abnormal plant destruction costs (5,048 ) (5,048 )
Transferred to inventory upon harvest - (43,255 ) (43,255 )
Carrying amount, May 31, 2020 $ 2 $ 5,558 $ 5,560
During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2020, the Company had to cull $5,048 and $5,048 (May 31, 2019 - $nil and $nil) of plants due to lack of sufficient staffing as a result of COVID-19. This costs were expensed to cost of sales.
The fair value less costs to sell of biological assets is determined using a model which estimates the expected harvest yield in grams for plants currently being cultivated, and then adjusts that amount for the expected selling price per gram and also for any additional costs to be incurred, such as post-harvest costs. The following unobservable inputs, all of which are classified as Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy (see Note 16), are used in determining the fair value of biological assets:
i. Average selling price per gram - calculated as the weighted average historical selling price of cannabis sold by the Company, adjusted for expectations about future pricing;
