Biological Assets Biological Assets
Accounting Policy

The Company defines biological assets as living plants up to the point of harvest. Biological assets are measured at fair value less costs to sell at the end of each reporting period in accordance with IAS 41 - Agriculture using the income approach. The Company utilizes an income approach to determine the fair value less cost to sell at a specific measurement date, based on the existing plants’ stage of completion up to the point of harvest. The Company cultivates cannabis and propagation plants biological assets. For cannabis plants, the stage of completion is determined based on the specific date of clipping the mother plant, the period-end reporting date, the average growth rate for the strain and facility environment and is calculated on a weighted average basis for the number of plants in the specific lot. Propagation plants are comprised solely of plants from the Bevo business, and are sold as living plants to customers and therefore not harvested into inventory. For propagation plants, the stage of completion is determined based on the propagation date, the promised date, and the period-end reporting date.
The following inputs and assumptions are all categorized within Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy and were used in determining the fair value of cannabis biological assets:
Inputs and assumptions
Description
Correlation between inputs and fair value
Average selling price per gramRepresents the average selling price per gram of dried cannabis net of excise taxes, where applicable, for the period for all strains of cannabis sold, which is expected to approximate future selling prices.If the average selling price per gram were higher (lower), estimated fair value would increase (decrease).
Weighted average yield per plantRepresents the weighted average number of grams of dried cannabis inventory expected to be harvested from each cannabis plant.If the weighted average yield per plant was higher (lower), estimated fair value would increase (decrease).
Cost per gram to complete productionBased on actual production costs incurred divided by the grams produced in the period.If the cost per gram to complete production was lower (higher), estimated fair value would increase (decrease).
Stage of completion in the production processCalculated by taking the weighted average number of days in production over a total average grow cycle of approximately twelve weeks.If the number of days in production was higher (lower), estimated fair value would increase (decrease).
Production costs are capitalized to cannabis biological assets and include all direct and indirect costs relating to biological transformation. Costs include direct costs of production, such as labor, growing materials, as well as indirect costs such as indirect labor and benefits, quality control costs, depreciation on production equipment, and overhead expenses including rent and utilities.

The following inputs and assumptions are all categorized within Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy and were used in determining the fair value of propagation plants biological assets:
Inputs and assumptions
Description
Correlation between inputs and fair value
Selling price per plantRepresents selling price per plant, which is based on committed purchase plans or approximate future selling price.If selling price per plant were higher (lower), estimated fair value would increase (decrease).
Stage of completion in the production processCalculated by taking the number of days in production over the promised date less the propagation date.If the number of days in production was higher (lower), estimated fair value would increase (decrease).
Production costs are capitalized to propagation plants biological assets based on a rolling gross margin rate and includes all direct and indirect costs relating to biological transformation. Costs include direct costs of production, such as labor, growing materials, as well as indirect costs such as indirect labor and benefits, quality control costs, depreciation on production equipment, and overhead expenses including rent and utilities.

As of March 31, 2025, the weighted average fair value less cost to complete and cost to sell a gram of dried cannabis produced at the Company’s indoor cannabis cultivation facilities was $3.62 per gram (March 31, 2024 – $3.76 per gram) and the stage of completion of indoor cannabis was 44% (March 31, 2024 - 49%). There is no outdoor propagation at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the outdoor propagation season commences in May.
During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s indoor cannabis biological assets produced 48,112 kilograms of dried cannabis (March 31, 2024 – 44,096 kilograms).
