/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/
MONTRÉAL, June 21, 2023 /CNW/ - Canada House Cannabis Group Inc. (formerly Canada House Wellness Group Inc.) (CSE: CHV) ("CanadaHouse" or the "Company") announces the filing of a restatement of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the six months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022 (the "Restated Financial Statements"), to amend the Company's original unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the same period (the "Original Financial Statements") as filed on March 23, 2023.
Subsequent to the issuance of the Original Financial Statements, the Company identified the following accounting errors that required the restatement of amounts within the statements of financial position, statements of income and comprehensive income, statement of changes in shareholders' equity, and the statements of cash flows related to the comparable six–month period ended January 31, 2022 (amounts expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars):
Investment in associate – The Company used the enterprise value method to measure the value of the Company's shares used as an investment in Montréal Cannabis Médical Inc. ("MTL") made on August 9, 2022, whereby the Company acquired 24.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of MTL in exchange for 49.99% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. In determining the value of investment, the Company should have used an equity value method which required the deduction of debt from the enterprise value and resulted in an overstatement by approximately $11,000 of the value of Company's investment in MTL. In addition, transaction costs associated with this investment of $905 should not have been expensed. The effect of this correction is to reduce the investment in associate's carrying value by $10,095.
Mortgage payable – Mortgage renewal costs of $60 should not have been expensed.
Promissory notes – The maturity date on one of the Company's promissory notes with a carrying value of $4,167 was amended from December 12, 2024 to December 12, 2023 and, accordingly the promissory note should have been classified as current.
2020 convertible debenture – In August 2022, the conversion price of the secured convertible debenture with Archerwill Investments Inc. (the "Archerwill Debenture") and related warrants were amended and, as a result, they no longer met the fixed-for-fixed criteria to qualify as an equity instrument. Accordingly, the Company was required to reassess the fair value of each component of the Archerwill Debenture. The net impact of this reassessment is to increase the carrying value of the host debt instrument by $60 and reclassify the conversion option and equity from equity to liability with an estimated fair value of $3,463, and $640, respectively, upon correction.
The restatement does not have an impact on the Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS measure) disclosed in the news release of March 23, 2023.
