Akanda Corp.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in US Dollars)
1. | Nature of Operations and Going Concern |
Akanda Corp. (the "Company") is domiciled in Canada and was incorporated on July 16, 2021. The Company's registered office is 77 King Street West, Suite 400, Toronto-Dominion Centre, Toronto Canada, Ontario, M5K 0A1.
Prior to the liquidation event on July 15, 2022 described below, the Company, through its indirectly held subsidiary, Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. is in the business of cultivating and manufacturing cannabis biomass and medical cannabis products in Lesotho (specifically near Ts'akholo, in the Mafeteng district of the Kingdom of Lesotho, Southern Africa), for export to international markets. At June 30, 2022, the Company determined that it no longer controlled Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. as a result of the insolvent liquidation order signed by the Lesotho Court on July 15, 2022 (see note 5 and 17). As a result of the loss of control, the Company derecognized all assets and liabilities at their book values on June 30, 2022 and wrote down all balances receivable from the entity to nil. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, recorded a loss on loss of control of Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. of $2,338,342, which included $800,794 of cash held by Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. The Company accounted for the operating results of Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. as a discontinued operation during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and has reclassified the operating results of Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd as a discontinued operation for the six months ended June 30, 2021. At the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the liquidation of Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. is still ongoing. The Company is also in the business of sales and distribution of cannabis-based products for medical use, through its subsidiary Canmart Ltd which is based in the UK.
The Company was incorporated for the designed purpose of becoming the ultimate parent company of Cannahealth Ltd. ("Cannahealth"), through a reorganization of entities with common control. The share purchase agreement became unconditional on or about November 3, 2021 and the Company acquired the shares in the aforementioned entities from Halo Collective Inc. ("Halo").
The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Attention is drawn to the fact that the Company incurred a net cash outflow of $8,353,721 from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to raise further cash funding by way of issuing debt and/or equity, as well as its ability to generate cash profits from its investments in Canmart Ltd. and Holigen Ltd. in the near future.
The Company is an early-stage company and is primarily dependent on externally provided financing to continue as a going concern. Additional funds will be required to enable the Company to pursue such an initiative and the Company may be unable to obtain such financing on satisfactory terms. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be profitable. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with its cash on hand, and/or additional cash that will be generated from operations. The Company does not at this stage have any firm plans or commitments regarding further financing.
These uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities which might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or ability to raise funds.
F-5
2. | Basis of Preparation |
(a) | Statement of compliance |
These condensed consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting and have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of application as those used in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
(b) | Basis of preparation |
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis, except for cash flow information, and are based on the historical cost, modified where applicable and related to the valuation of certain financial assets and financial liabilities to fair value.
Cannahealth and its subsidiaries, Bophelo Holdings Ltd, Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd, and Canmart Ltd were under the common control of Halo until the acquisition by the Company had occurred. As of November 2021, shareholdings in each of the three separate entities were made consistent through the issuance of shares or the repurchase of shares for cash to the relevant shareholders (the 'Reorganization Transactions'). As of November 2021, shareholdings in each of the four entities were identical. When the Company was formed in July 2021 with a view to ultimately acquiring Cannahealth and its subsidiaries, its majority shareholders were also consistent with each of the three existing entities. Therefore, immediately prior to the acquisition, the majority shareholder ownership of the Company and Cannahealth were demonstrated common control, and immediately after the acquisition, the shareholdings held in the Company by each individual shareholder were also identical.
The Company performed an assessment and determined Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd to be the predecessor entity to the Company, and that the corporate restructuring in which Akanda became the parent company did not have economic substance. As such, in preparing the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company accounted for the acquisition in as a transaction between entities under common control combining the Company and Cannahealth from the earliest reporting date using the 'pooling of interests method' of accounting, where assets for the Companies that came under common control were transferred into the consolidated group at the book value on the date in which common control was achieved.
In the acquisition described above, shares were issued to existing shareholders for no consideration. Therefore, the number of shares outstanding was increased without an increase in resources. The number of shares outstanding before the exchange have been adjusted for the change in shares as if the issuance had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. All share and per share information presented herein has been retrospectively adjusted to give effect to the culmination of the reorganization and the issuance of shares on incorporation of Akanda on January 1, 2019.
(c) | Functional and presentation currency |
These condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared and presented in United States Dollars ("USD" or "$"), which is the Company's reporting currency. All financial information has been rounded to the nearest dollar except where indicated otherwise.
(d) | Use of estimates and judgments |
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses during the period. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Areas
F-6
in which management has made critical judgments in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements include the determination of the Company's and its subsidiaries' functional currencies.
3. | New standards issued, not yet adopted |
In January 2020, the IAS issued an amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements that clarifies the criterion for classifying a liability as non-current relating to the right to defer settlement of a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
The amendment applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and is applied retrospectively upon adoption. The Company does not expect the amendments to have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
4. | Business combination |
On April 29, 2022, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cannahealth, acquired 100% of the Ordinary Shares of Holigen Limited ("Holigen") and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, RPK Biopharma Unipessoal, LDA ("RPK") from the Flowr Corporation. Through its operations in RPK, Holigen is a producer of premium EU GMP grade indoor grown cannabis flower. The acquisition of Holigen enables the Company to immediately have the ability to produce EU GMP grade cannabis flower for the European market. Consideration for the acquisition consisted of a payment of $3,000,000 in cash and 1,900,000 common shares of the Company's share capital.
RPK's operations consist of a 20,000 square foot indoor EU GMP certified grow facility located near Sintra, Lisbon, Portugal, dedicated to the cultivation of high-THC premium cannabis as well as a large seven million square foot (180+ acre) outdoor facility located in Aljustrel, Portugal. Holigen is a Maltese-based entity and provides the added superior genetics, capacity, and route-to-market in the EMEA region, of which the Company intends to augment the Company's current operations.
The following table summarizes the acquisition-date fair value of each major class of purchase consideration that was transferred to the Flowr Corporation in lieu of the acquisition of 100% of the Ordinary Shares of Holigen:
Cash | $ | 2,600,000 | |
Holdback payable | 400,000 | ||
Fair value of 1,900,000 common shares of the Company | 16,131,000 | ||
Total consideration transferred | $ | 19,131,000 |
The cash purchase price of the acquisition is $3.0 million, of which $2.6 million has been paid and $400,000 to fund the holdback payable is currently included within cash held in trust at June 30, 2022. The holdback payable represents funds withheld until resolution of a potential liability between the vendor and a service provider, of which the Company expects resolution within the next twelve (12) months. The fair value of the 1,900,000 common shares was based on the fair value of the trading price of the Company's common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Markets exchange of $8.49 per common share on April 29, 2022. Of the equity component of the purchase consideration of 1,900,000 common shares of the Company that was transferred to the Flowr Corporation, an amount of 96,354 common shares was directly transferred to Apolo Capital Advisory, who acted as advisors to the Flowr Corporation in respect of the transaction. The purchase of Holigen has been accounted for by the acquisition method, with the results of Holigen included in the Company's results of operation from the date of acquisition. The purchase of Holigen was determined as being a business combination in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 3 - Business Combinations, due to the fact that the Company acquired control over Holigen on the acquisition date through the purchase of 100% of its voting securities
F-7
and consequent transfer of the purchase consideration (set out in the table above) to the sellers of the Holigen, namely the Flowr Corporation.
The Company incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately $250,000 relating to external legal fees, due diligence costs and valuation services. These costs have been included in "consulting and professional fees" expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities as at the date of acquisition:
Cash | $ | 233,407 | |
Accounts receivable | 605,579 | ||
Biological assets | 200,457 | ||
Inventory | 904,006 | ||
Prepayments | 179,597 | ||
Intangible assets | 24,665,772 | ||
Property, plant and equipment, net | 12,936,374 | ||
Trade and other payables | (3,775,599) | ||
Loans and borrowing | (4,058,030) | ||
Net assets acquired | $ | 31,891,563 |
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a bargain purchase gain of $12,760,563 within other income, representing the fair value of net assets acquired of $31,891,563 in excess of the fair value of consideration of $19,131,000. The fair value of the net asset acquired was determined by an independent valuer using the discounted cash flow method of valuation.
From the date of acquisition, the operations of Holigen contributed a net loss of $814,896 primarily due to the fact that Holigen was substantially in a pre-revenue stage. If the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2022, the operations of Holigen would have contributed net loss of $1,725,371 for the six months ending June 30, 2022.
5. | Loss of control of Bophelo Bio Science andand Wellness (Pty) Ltd. |
At June 30, 2022, the Company determined that it no longer controlled Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. as a result of the insolvent liquidation order signed by the Lesotho Court on July 15, 2022 (see note 17). As a result of the loss of control, the Company derecognized all assets and liabilities at their book values on June 30, 2022 and wrote down all balances receivable from the entity to nil. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a loss on loss of control of Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. of $2,338,342, which included $800,794 of cash held by Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. The Company accounted for the operating results of Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. as a discontinued operation during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and has reclassified the operating results of Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd as a discontinued operation for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

17. | Segmented Information |
The Company has three reportable segments: Cultivation, Distribution & Corporate. Cultivating activities which comprise the "cultivation" segment are made up of the medical cannabis cultivation operations at RPK/Holigen in Portugal, and medical cannabis cultivation activities which were undertaken at Bophelo Bio Science & Wellness (Pty) Ltd in Lesotho up until the loss of control event which occurred in July 2022 when the liquidation of Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd was ordered by the High Court of Lesotho (refer to note 5). Distributing activities relate to the distribution of medical cannabis by Canmart Ltd in the United Kingdom. Corporate activities entail head office costs and other general corporate expenses related to the administration of the broader group. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The reportable segments have been determined by management on the basis that these are strategic business units that offer different products and services. The business units in Portugal and Lesotho (up until the loss of control event described in note 5) which fall under the cultivation segment are focused on the cultivation of medical cannabis and medical cannabis biomass respectively, while the business unit in the United Kingdom, which falls under the distribution segment, undertakes the sale and distribution of medical cannabis products. The corporate segment undertakes management and treasury services within the group and for the benefit of all group companies. They are managed separately as each business unit requires different strategies, risk management and technologies.

Liquidation of Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd
On July 26, 2022, the Company announced that the High Court of Lesotho (the "Lesotho Court") has placed in liquidation the Company's, wholly-owned subsidiary, Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. ("Bophelo"). The action to place Bophelo in liquidation was taken by the Lesotho Court pursuant to an application and request (the "Liquidation Application") that was filed by Louisa Mojela, the former Executive Chairman of the Company, who was recently terminated as Executive Chairman of Akanda, and the Mophuti Matsoso Development Trust ("MMD Trust"). Akanda intends to convene a special committee to investigate Ms. Mojela's actions and conduct, including actions and conduct taken by her prior to her filing of the Liquidation Application, and will pursue all of its available legal rights and remedies against Ms. Mojela and the MMD Trust for taking this unauthorized action. The Company also intends to contest and seek to reverse the determination by the Lesotho Court to place Bophelo in liquidation. In addition, Akanda will seek to recover significant loans that it has made to Bophelo to fund the execution of Bophelo's business plan, including payment of rents and staffing costs, in the event that the Lesotho Court does not reverse its determination to place Bophelo in liquidation. Finally, Ms. Mojela has been summarily terminated as Chairman of Bophelo for Cause, as a "bad leaver", as a result of her action to seek to place Bophelo in liquidation. Ms. Mojela has instituted legal proceedings against the Company as a result of the termination of her employment. In an action taken without the Company's knowledge, the Lesotho Court has ordered an insolvent liquidation of Bophelo, and has appointed Mr. Chavonnes Cooper of Cape Town, South Africa, as liquidator of Bophelo for purposes of maintaining the value of the assets owned or managed by Bophelo. The order was signed by the Honorable Mr. Justice Mokhesi on July 15, 2022. As a result, the Company deemed that at June 30, 2022 control of Bophelo had been lost and the assets and liabilities of the entity were deconsolidated, resulting in a loss of $2,338,342 (see note 5).
