+Added: On April 1, 2019, the Company changed its methodology for the valuation of inventory from first-in-first-out to weighted average cost method.
+Added: The newly adopted accounting principle is preferable because the weighted average cost method of accounting for all inventories will improve financial reporting by better matching revenues and expenses and better reflecting the current value of inventory.
+Added: The change did not impact the financial statements for the prior years.
+Added: Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, net realizable value defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.
+Added: Inventory consists of raw materials, finished goods and work-in-progress such as extracted crude oil, CBD isolate, growing crops, crude oil, herbal oils, among others.
+Added: Work-in-progress also includes product manufacturing in process, costs of growing hemp, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations including but not limited to labor, utilities, fertilizers and irrigation.
+Added: Inventory is primarily accounted for using the weighted average cost method.
+Added: Primary costs include raw materials, packaging, direct labor, overhead, shipping and the depreciation of manufacturing equipment.
+Added: Manufacturing overhead and related expenses include salaries, wages, employee benefits, utilities, maintenance, and property taxes.
+Added: Harvested crops are measured at net realizable value, with changes recognized in profit or loss only when the harvested crop:
+Added: - has a reliable, readily determinable, and realizable market value;
+Added: - has relatively insignificant and predictable costs of disposal;
+Added: - is available for immediate delivery.
+Added: The Company believes its harvested crops does not have a readily available market.
+Added: Hence, the Company values its harvested crops at cost.

+Added: Lessor Accounting
+Added: For lessors, however, the accounting remains largely unchanged from the current model, changes have been made to align certain lessor and lessee accounting guidance and the key aspects of the lessor accounting model with new revenue recognition standard.
+Added: Under the new guidance, contract consideration will be allocated to its lease components and non-lease components (such as maintenance).
+Added: For the Company as a lessor, any non-lease components will be accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, unless the Company elects a lessor practical expedient to not separate the non-lease components from the associated lease component.
+Added: The amendments in ASU 2018-11 also provide lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component if the non-lease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue guidance (“Topic 606”).
+Added: To elect the practical expedient, the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease and non-lease components must be the same and the lease component must meet the criteria to be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately.
+Added: If these criteria are met, the single component will be accounted for under either Topic 842 or Topic 606 depending on which component(s) are predominant.
+Added: The lessor practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the associated component must be elected for all existing and new leases.
+Added: As lessor, the Company expects that post-adoption substantially all existing leases will have no change in the timing of revenue recognition until their expiration or termination.
+Added: The Company expects to elect the lessor practical expedient to not separate non-lease components such as maintenance from the associated lease for all existing and new leases and to account for the combined component as a single lease component.
+Added: The timing of revenue recognition is expected to be the same for the majority of the Company’s new leases as compared to similar existing leases;
+Added: however, certain categories of new leases could have different revenue recognition patterns as compared to similar existing leases.
+Added: For leases that are accounted for as operating leases, income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract.
+Added: Generally, when a lease is more than 180 days delinquent (where more than three monthly payments are owed), the lease is classified as being on nonaccrual and the Company stops recognizing leasing income on that date.
+Added: Payments received on leases in nonaccrual status generally reduce the lease receivable.
+Added: Leases on nonaccrual status remain classified as such until there is sustained payment performance that, in the Company’s judgment, would indicate that all contractual amounts will be collected in full.
+Added: Lessee Accounting
+Added: The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach.
+Added: The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months.
+Added: Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.
+Added: In connection with the adoption, the Company will elect to utilize the modified retrospective presentation whereby the Company will continue to present prior period financial statements and disclosures under ASC 840.
+Added: In addition, the Company will elect the transition package of three practical expedients permitted within the standard, which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs.
+Added: Further, the Company will adopt a short-term lease exception policy, permitting us to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases (i.e.
+Added: leases with terms of 12 months or less).
+Added: and an accounting policy to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for certain classes of assets.
+Added: Under ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842), lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on the commencement date:
+Added: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis;
+Added: and (ii) right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.
+Added: At the commencement date, the Company recognizes the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease.
+Added: The right-of-use asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received.
+Added: All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment.
+Added: There was no impairment for right-of-use lease assets as of March 31, 2020.
+Added: The Company categorizes leases at their inception as either operating or finance leases.
+Added: On certain lease agreements, the Company may receive rent holidays and other incentives.
