1.Background and Nature of Operations 

 

MichiCann Medical Inc. (the “Company” or “MichiCann”) is a private cannabis investment company incorporated under the laws of Ontario on December 5, 2017. The Company’s head office and registered office is located at 8820 Jane Street, Concord, ON, L4K 2M9 Canada.

PharmaCo Inc. Agreements

On January 4, 2019, MichiCann entered into a put/call option agreement (the “Put/Call Option Agreement”) with PharmaCo Inc. (“PharmaCo”) and its shareholders (“PharmaCo Shareholders”) pursuant to which the PharmaCo Shareholders granted MichiCann the call right to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of PharmaCo from the PharmaCo Shareholders, and MichiCann granted all of the PharmaCo Shareholders the put right to sell 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of PharmaCo to MichiCann, in exchange for the issuance of 37,000,000 MichiCann common shares in aggregate (subject to standard anti-dilution protections)  subject to all state and local regulatory approvals including the approval of the Medical Marihuana Licensing Board and/or the Bureau of Medical Marihuana Regulation within the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (“LARA”) in the State of Michigan. Each PharmaCo Shareholder shall have the right, but not the obligation, as its sole direction, to sell to MichiCann all, but not less than all, of the PharmaCo common shares held by it. As at March 31, 2020, the call option was determined to have a fair value of $20,641,548 (December 31, 2019 - $19,547,757) using level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

On January 4, 2019, MichiCann entered into a debenture purchase agreement (the “Debenture Purchase Agreement”) with PharmaCo pursuant to which MichiCann agreed to purchase up to $114,734,209 United States dollars (“USD”) of an 8% senior secured convertible debenture of PharmaCo (the “Opco Debenture”). The Opco Debenture is secured by all real and personal property and interests in the real and personal property of PharmaCo, whether now owned or subsequently acquired. The Opco Debenture has a maturity date of January 4, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”).

The principal amount of the Opco Debenture is convertible into common shares of PharmaCo at a conversion price equal to the then outstanding balance of the Opco Debenture divided by the total number of PharmaCo common shares then outstanding (the “Conversion Shares”). The principal amount and accrued interest of the Opco Debenture outstanding is convertible at any time on or prior to the earlier of the business day immediately preceding: (i) the Maturity Date; and (ii) the date that is 30 days after the Company received LARA’s written approval of the Holder Application (application seeking permission to convert the Opco Debenture and own the Conversion Shares).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversion of the Opco Debenture is subject to PharmaCo and MichiCann having obtained all required permits from governmental authorities in connection with MichiCann’s ownership of PharmaCo common shares, including, without limitation, all required cannabis licenses or related permits issued by LARA (but excluding any permit or other requirement which arises or may arise under any excluded law).

Illinois Facility and Mid-American Growers, Inc.

On October 4, 2019, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of RWB Illinois, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on October 4, 2019.  The consideration paid for the acquisition was USD $1.

On October 9, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “MAG Merger Agreement”) with MAG, RWB Illinois, Inc. and Arthur VanWingerden and Ken VanWingerden (collectively the “MAG Sellers”) pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of MAG. MAG has a facility for hemp production on 124 acres of real property commonly known as 14240 Greenhouse Avenue, Granville, Illinois (the “MAG owned property”). The MAG Merger Agreement was amended on November 1, 2019 and January 9, 2020. The merger was completed on April 24, 2020 (“MAG Acquisition”) (Note 17).

In addition, so long as the MAG Sellers have used commercially reasonable efforts to assist MichiCann and MAG in achieving regulatory approval of a commercial cultivation center license to MAG for the Illinois Facility described below (the “Milestone Event”) (i) MichiCann shall issue to the MAG Sellers an additional 2,640,000 common shares of the Company based on a value of USD $10,000,000 and (ii) only if the Milestone Event is achieved during calendar 2020, MichiCann shall pay to the MAG Sellers in the aggregate an additional USD $5,000,000 in cash.

Concurrent with the closing of the MAG Acquisition, MichiCann’s wholly owned subsidiary, RWB Illinois, Inc. acquired an additional 142 acres of land located in Illinois, together with the buildings, plant facilities, structures, building systems fixtures and improvements located thereon and related personal property and intangibles (together with the MAG owned property, the “Illinois Facility”) for USD $2,000,000 pursuant to a real estate purchase agreement made and entered into as of January 10, 2020 between RWB, VW Properties LLC, as seller, and each of the MAG Sellers.

2.Going Concern 

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption of a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at March 31, 2020, the Company’s working capital was $23,868,973 (December 31, 2019 – working capital deficiency of $16,071,433) and has accumulated losses of $11,932,096 (December 31, 2019 - $14,677,625) since inception.

 

These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these condensed interim consolidated financial statements then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the condensed interim statements of financial position classifications used. Such adjustments could be material.

COVID-19

Since December 31, 2019, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and physical distancing, have caused material disruption to business globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.

 

3.Basis of presentation 

(a)Statement of Compliance 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) using accounting principles consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should

be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on June 30, 2020.

 

(b)Basis of Presentation 

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial assets classified as fair value through profit or loss, which are measured at fair value, as detailed in Note 8.  In addition, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

 

(c)Basis of Consolidation 

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, RWB Illinois Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

(d)Functional and Presentation Currency 

 

All figures presented in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company.

 

4.Significant Accounting Policies 

 

(a)Use of Estimates and Judgments 

The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the actual results. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

In preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, management has made significant assumptions which are applied in determining the fair values of the loans receivable and convertible debentures at the reporting date, including that the transaction with Tidal Royalty Corp. (“Tidal”) will complete timely as described in Note 16 and that the Company will exercise its conversion rights pursuant to the Debenture Purchase Agreement. Should the assumptions be incorrect, it would result in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities.

Other significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made as at the condensed interim statement of financial position date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, related to, but are not limited to, the following: 

Share-based Compensation

The Company provides compensation benefits to its consultants, directors and officers through a stock option plan. The fair value of each option award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option

MichiCann Medical Inc.

(Unaudited)

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)


pricing model which utilizes subjective assumptions such as expected price volatility and expected life of the option. Share-based compensation expense also utilizes subjective assumptions on forfeiture rate. Changes in these input assumptions can significantly affect the fair value estimate.

 

Convertible Debentures

 

In accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement, convertible debentures are compound financial instruments that are accounted for separately by their components: a financial liability and an equity instrument. The fair value of any derivative feature embedded in the compound financial instrument (other than the equity component, such as an equity conversion feature) is presented as a liability instrument. The identification of convertible debenture components is based on interpretations of the substance of the contractual arrangement and therefore requires judgment from management. The separation of the components affects the initial recognition of the convertible debenture at issuance and the subsequent recognition of interest on the liability component. The determination of the fair value of the liability component is also based on a number of assumptions, including contractual future cash flows, discount factors and the presence of any derivative financial instruments.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

A derivative is a financial instrument whose value is based on an underlying asset or set of assets. The Company has determined that its call option represents a derivative financial instrument and as such has been measured at fair value in accordance with level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Accordingly, the fair value of derivative financial instruments was determined using inputs that are not based on observable market data and therefore requires judgment from management.

 

Deferred Income Taxes

 

The measurement of income taxes payable and deferred income tax assets and liabilities requires management to make judgments in the interpretation and application of the relevant tax laws. The actual amount of income taxes only becomes final upon filing and acceptance of the tax return by the relevant tax authorities, which occurs subsequent to the issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 

Loans Receivable

 

Management applies judgment in the assessment of the collectability of the loans and interest receivable.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Management applies judgement in the assessment of the collectability of its trade receivables included in accounts receivable.

 

Going Concern

 

The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to raise sufficient funds to pay its ongoing operating expenditures and meet its liabilities for the ensuing year involves significant judgment based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances

 

(b)Equipment

Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.  Depreciation, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, is provided using the following methods:

 

Computer hardware3 yearsStraight-line 

Computer software3 yearsStraight-line 

 

Equipment acquired during the year but not placed into use are not depreciated until they are placed into use.

 

(c)Share capital 

 

Common shares

Common shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of common shares and share options are recognized as a reduction from equity

 

Equity units

 

Proceeds received on the issuance of units, consisting of common shares and warrants, are allocated first to common shares based on the comparable issuance price of common shares issued without warrants. Any excess of proceeds is allocated to warrants. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of units are recognized as a reduction from equity.

 

(d)Impairment of non-financial assets 

 

At each date of the condensed interim statements of financial position, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is an indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the assets belong.

 

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing the 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.

 

In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the condensed interim statements of comprehensive loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a re-valued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

 

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.

 

To date the Company has not recognized any impairment loss.

(e)Share-based compensation 

Share-based compensation to employees and those providing employee-like services are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued at the grant date and recognized over the vesting periods using the graded vesting method. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received.

 

If it is determined that the fair value of goods and services received cannot be reliably measured, the share-based expense is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For both employees and non-employees, the fair value of share-based compensation expense is recognized in profit or loss, with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. When options expire unexercised, these amounts are reclassified into deficit.

(f)Earning (Loss) per share 

Loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The Company uses the treasury stock method to comput the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments. The calculation of diluted earnings per share assumes that the outstanding options and warrants are exercised, and the proceeds are used to repurchase shares of the Company at the average market price of the shares for the period. Diluted loss per share is not presented if the effects are anti-dilutive.

(g)Income taxes 

 

Deferred tax is calculated on all temporary differences at the condensed interim statement of financial position date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

 

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

 

Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized, or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

 

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(h)Foreign currency translation 

 

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the spot rate of exchange in effect at the reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at


11


MichiCann Medical Inc.

Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)


the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. All exchange differences are recorded in profit and loss.

(i)Financial instruments 

 

The Company recognizes a financial asset or liability when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities in the following measurement categories:

i)those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”); 

ii)those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”); and 

iii)those to be measured at amortized cost.  

 

The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. The Company reclassifies financial assets if and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.

 

Financial assets at amortized cost

 

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial assets are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. Financial assets in this category include accounts receivable and loans receivable.

 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

 

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost are measured at FVTPL. Derivative financial instruments that are not designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified as FVTPL. The Company has no designated hedges. Financial instruments classified as FVTPL are stated at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss for the period. Financial assets in this category include cash and call option.

 

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognized initially at fair value plus transaction cost directly attributable to the asset. After initial recognition, the asset is measured at fair value with changes in fair value included as “financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income” in other comprehensive income. The Company does not have any financial assets classified as fair value through other comprehensive income.

 

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 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. 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.

 

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

 

Financial liabilities at amortized cost are non-derivatives and are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently stated at amortized cost. Any difference between the amounts originally received, net of transaction costs, and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period to maturity using the effective interest method.

 

Financial liabilities at amortized cost are classified as current or non-current based on their maturity date. Financial liabilities in this category include accounts payable and accrued liabilities and bridge financing.

 

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

 

This category is comprised of derivative financial liabilities. Derivative financial liabilities are initially recognized at their fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value at each reporting period with changes in the fair value recognized in profit or loss. Financial liabilities in this category include convertible debentures.

 

Fair value hierarchy

 

The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy under which the Company's financial instruments are valued.

 

Level 1 -

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 -

Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 -

Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based upon observable market data.

 

Offsetting financial assets and liabilities

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the condensed interim statement of financial position only when the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The fair values of other financial instruments, which include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans receivable, approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

(b)Credit Risk 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable. The Company limits its exposure to


19


MichiCann Medical Inc.

Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

(Unaudited)

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)


credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. Deposits held with these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company is exposed to significant credit risk on its loans receivable. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

(c)Foreign Exchange Rate 

The Company has cash and loans receivable denominated in United States dollars and, as a consequence, the financial results of the Company’s operations as reported in Canadian dollars are subject to changes in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar. Therefore, exchange rate movements in the United States dollar can have a significant impact on the Company’s operating results due to the translation of monetary assets.

At March 31, 2020, a 5% (2019 – 4%)  strengthening (weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would have increased (decreased) the Company’s net income by approximately $2,924,000 (2019 - $2,064,000)

(d)Interest Rate Risk 

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. Interest earned on cash is at nominal interest rates, and therefore the Company does not consider interest rate risk for cash to be significant.

As at March 31, 2020, the interest rate on loans receivable and convertible debentures is fixed based on the contracts in place. As such, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent as stated on these financial assets and liabilities.

(e)Liquidity Risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities.

As at March 31, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $40,612 (December 31, 2019 - $1,378,687) available to apply against short-term business requirements and current liabilities of $19,984,255 (December 31, 2019 - $55,542,045). All of the liabilities presented as accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within 90 days of March 31, 2020.

 

9. Related Party Transactions 

 

The following is a summary of related party transactions that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020:

(a)Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities is $515,500 (December 31, 2019 - $377,157) payable to officers and a director of the Company. Amounts due to related parties have no stated terms of interest and/or repayment, and are unsecured. 

(b)Key management personnel include the directors and officers of the Company. Key management compensation consists of the following:

There were no post-employment benefits, termination benefits or other long-term benefits paid to key management personnel for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

 

10.Capital Management 

The Company manages its capital to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern and to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. The capital structure of the Company consists of cash, convertible debentures and equity, comprised of issued share capital.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of economic conditions. The Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, will balance its overall capital structure through new share issues or by undertaking other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances. There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and the Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains the same for the periods presented.

 

11.Convertible Debentures 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued a $17,650,000 (consisting of advances of $15,000,000 and USD $2,000,000) senior secured convertible debenture (the “Tidal Debenture”) to Tidal. The Tidal Debenture becomes due and payable (the “Tidal Debenture Maturity Date”) on the earlier of: (i) September 30, 2019 (extended to April 30, 2020) and (ii) the date that all amounts owing under the Tidal Debenture become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Tidal Debenture, including following an event of default. In the event of a default, the Tidal Debenture will bear interest at 12% per annum. On March 12, 2020, the Tidal Debenture Maturity Date was extended to April 30, 2020.  

The Tidal Debenture is convertible into common shares of the Company in the event that the Proposed Transaction, as described in Note 16 with Tidal is not completed prior to the Tidal Debenture Maturity Date and the Company instead completes a “Change of Control” or a “Go Public Transaction” as such terms are defined in the Tidal Debenture. In such circumstances, Tidal has the right to convert the Tidal Debenture into common shares of the Company at a price equal to the lesser of (i) $2.50; and (ii) a 20% discount to the issue price or effective price for any financing completed as part of or concurrently with the Go Public Transaction, if applicable, or the effective purchase price per common share of the Company in the case of a Change of Control transaction. The Tidal Debenture is secured against the assets of the Company pursuant to a general security and pledge agreement dated February 25, 2019 (the “GSA and Pledge Agreement”).

 

The Company may repay the Tidal Debenture prior to the Tidal Debenture Maturity Date at a price equal to 110% of the principal amount and any accrued interest without the prior written consent of Tidal if (i) the Proposed Transaction with Tidal is not capable of being completed prior to October 25, 2019; and (ii) both the Company and Tidal have acted in good faith and have used all commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Proposed Transaction.

On issuance, the Company determined that the conversion feature met the definition of a derivative liability and elected to measure the entire Tidal Debenture at fair value through profit or loss. This derivative liability component was determined to have a value of $nil as at March 31, 2020.

 

A continuity of the liability portion of the convertible debentures is as follows:

12.Bridge Financing 

 

On June 4, 2019, Bridging Finance Inc. (the “Lender”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the Company and PharmaCo (collectively, the “Borrowers”) pursuant to which the Lender established a non-revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) for the Borrowers in a maximum principal amount of  $36,374,400  (the “Facility Limit”). The purpose of the Facility is so that the Borrowers can purchase certain real estate and business assets in the state of Michigan, to make additional permitted acquisitions and for general corporate and operating purposes.

The obligations under the Facility are due and payable on the earlier of: (a) the termination date (being January 4, 2020); and (b) the acceleration date (being the earlier of the date of an insolvency event or that a demand notice is delivered pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement).  

In respect of the advance made by the Lender to the Borrowers under the Facility, the Borrowers agreed to pay the Lender:

a)Interest at the prime rate plus 10.55% per annum calculated and compounded monthly, payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each month; and 

b)A work fee equal to $909,360 (the “Work Fee”) (paid by the Company).     

The obligations under the Facility are secured by general security agreements on each Borrower, mortgages on certain owned real property of PharmaCo among other security obligations.

As the funds under the Facility (net of the Work Fee, commissions and other transaction expenses of the Lender) were advanced by the Lender directly to MichiCann, MichiCann in turn advanced the funds (net of MichiCann’s transaction expenses) to PharmaCo pursuant to a Promissory Note issued by PharmaCo to MichiCann in the principal amount of $30,648,517 (Note 6). Any amounts payable by PharmaCo or MichiCann to the Lender under the Facility will reduce the amount of PharmaCo’s obligations to MichiCann on a dollar for dollar basis under the Promissory Note.

The Company paid financing fees related to the Facility, including the Work Fee, of $2,361,459 which has been included as commission expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company also deducted a debt service reserve of $3,323,524 from the total principal amount which serves to pay the interest on the Facility as it is incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred interest expense of $3,540,353 on the Facility. As such, as of December 31, 2019 the debt service reserve balance is $nil and the Company has interest payable of $229,399 included in the bridge financing amount.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company paid deposit of $133,000 for additional professional fees.  The remaining balance of the deposit as at December 31, 2019 was $72,500.

On January 10, 2020, the Facility was amended (the “Amended Facility”) pursuant to an amended and restated agreement between the Lender, MichiCann (as guarantor) and PharmaCo, RWB Illinois, Inc. (“RWB”) and MAG (collectively as borrowers). 

The Amended Facility increased the Facility Limit to USD $49,750,000 in the aggregate of which USD $27,000,000 was to refinance the existing Facility and USD $22,750,000 was used to complete the MAG Acquisition (Note 17) and for general corporate and operating purposes.

The obligations under the Amended Facility are due and payable on the earlier of:

(a) the termination date (being July 10, 2021 subject to the right of the Borrowers to extend the termination date by paying a 1% fee for two additional six-month periods for a total of 30 months); and

The terms of the Amended Agreement provide that the share consideration will now be comprised of one common share (the “Common Shares”) and one series 2 convertible preferred share (the “Series 2 Shares”) of the Resulting Issuer. The Series 2 Shares to be issued to MichiCann shareholders (i) will carry voting rights (entitling a holder to one vote per Series 2 Share held, voting together with the holders of common shares), (ii) will be entitled to 5% annual dividends payable in additional Series 2 Shares (the “Dividends”), (iii) will be convertible (together with accrued Dividends) into Common Shares on a 1:1 basis at the option of the holder on or after the seven month anniversary of their issuance date, and (iv) will automatically be converted on the same basis on the two year anniversary of their issuance date.  All outstanding options and warrants to purchase MichiCann common shares will be exchanged with options and warrants to purchase common shares and Series 2 Shares in accordance with the Amended Exchange Ratio.

“This will simplify and streamline the structure of the Company, more easily evidencing the overall underlying value of RWB for our shareholders and stakeholders. PharmaCo has worked very hard on building out these assets for the last 2+ years and we believe it is time for us to enter this large and important market, taking advantage of PharmaCo’s early mover advantage. Once closed, both retail and institutional investors should benefit from this now straightforward structure,” said Brad Rogers, CEO of RWB.

 

A Michigan State University recent report1 on the potential size of the Michigan cannabis market stated, “It is estimated that the level of retail sales once it becomes widely available is approximately $3 billion with a total economic impact in excess of $7.8 billion.”

 

The all-share remuneration under the call option allows the Company to acquire PharmaCo in exchange for 37 million units (“Units”) (as defined below) of the Company, subject to certain adjustments and regulatory approvals.
