The five Canadian marijuana stocks we have uncovered have significant gains in biological value
SmallCapPower | July 16, 2018: Marijuana stocks report gains and losses on the fair value of their biological assets as an IFRS measure. Biological assets, in this case are the marijuana plants, which grow in value over time and are measured at their fair sale value. Given that the biological assets are accounted as profits before they are sold, the profits may be exaggerated. Currently, the Canadian marijuana stocks we have identified today have 3-4x the gross profit margin when accounting for the sale value of the biological assets, indicating a great deal of product growth. At the moment, the production growth is not being met by the current supply contracts.
