AREV LIFE SCIENCES GLOBAL CORP. (FORMERLY AREV NANOTEC BRANDS INC.) Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the six months ended June 30, 2021 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars – unless otherwise noted)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
AREV Life Sciences Global Corp. (formerly AREV Nanotec Brands Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on November 22, 2005. The Company is a fully integrated, early-stage life science discovery enterprise dedicated to delivering solutions to public healthcare metrics through innovations and successful collaborations in the life science industry. The Company’s strategy is dedicated to generating revenue by way of novel therapeutic approaches to human nutrition and malnutrition, pandemic diseases, and neglected chronic co-morbidities.
On March 19, 2020, the Company consolidated its share capital on a 6-for-1 basis. These condensed consolidated interim statements reflect this share consolidation on a retroactive basis.
On May 22, 2021, the Company incorporated Arev (Cambodia) Brands Co., Ltd. (“Arev Cambodia”) based in Cambodia. Arev Cambodia is a 51% owned subsidiary of the Company.
On June 1, 2021, the Company incorporated Arev Life Sciences Inc. based in the United States of America. Arev Life Sciences is a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company.
The registered address of the Company is Suite 440, 890 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 1J9. The principal place of business of the Company is 109 - 91 Golden Drive, Coquitlam, BC, V3K 6R2. The Company is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “AREV” and on October 9, 2019, the common shares began trading on the OTCQB Market ("OTCQB") under the symbol "AREVF”.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the “financial statements”) have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss of $1,272,016 during the period ended June 30, 2021 and has an accumulated deficit as at June 30, 2021 of $16,385,467. Further, the Company has no source of operating cash flows, and there is no assurance that sufficient funding (including adequate financing) will be available to conduct required development work. These factors indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The application of the going concern concept is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate future profitable operations and receive continued financial support from its creditors and shareholders. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be material.
In 2020, there was a global outbreak of coronavirus that has resulted in changes in global supply and demand of certain mineral and energy products. These changes, including a potential economic downturn and any potential resulting direct and indirect negative impact to the Company cannot be determined, but they could have a prospective material impact to the Company’s project exploration activities, cash flows and liquidity.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
a) Statement of compliance
These interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. IFRS includes International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). As such, these interim financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
These financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 27, 2021.
b) Basis of measurement
These interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for those financial instruments which have been classified and measured at fair value. In addition, with the exception of cash flow information, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting.
All amounts in these financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, the functional currency of the Company. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently.
c) Functional and presentation currency
Each entity within the Company has its results measured using the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Judgment is necessary in assessing each entity’s functional currency. The Company considers the primary and secondary indicators as part of its decision-making process. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the functional currency of the Company. The functional currency of Arev Cambodia is the Riel and the functional currency of Arev Life Sciences is the US dollar.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company provides disclosures that enable users to evaluate (a) the significance of financial instruments for the entity’s financial position and performance; and (b) the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed during the period and at the date of the statement of financial position, and how the entity manages these risks.
The Company provides information about its financial instruments measured at fair value at one of three levels according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair value:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
-
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, and accounts. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values due to the term of these instruments.
As at June 30, 2021, the fair value of cash held by the Company was based on level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Credit risk
21
AREV LIFE SCIENCES GLOBAL CORP. (FORMERLY AREV NANOTEC BRANDS INC.) Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the six months ended June 30, 2021
(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars – unless otherwise noted)
The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is its cash of $87,669 at June 30, 2021. With cash on deposit with reputable financial institutions, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risks arising from the financial instruments.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. As at June 30, 2021, the Company had current liabilities totaling $1,218,195 and cash of $87,669 and is exposed to significant liquidity risk at this time. However, since the Company is in the exploration stage, it will periodically have to raise funds to continue operations and intends to raise further financing through private placements.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Company’s income. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable parameters. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its insignificant exposure to market risks.
18. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company includes shareholders’ equity and any debt it may issue, in the definition of capital. The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management and consultants to sustain future development of the business.
The Company’s property is in the exploration stage and as such the Company is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry out planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds required.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach is reasonable given the relative size of the Company. The Company is not subject to any external covenants.
19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 20, 2021, the Company announced the appointment of Melvin S. Maxwell III to the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Maxwell is one of the two founders of Germinator, the Atlanta-based pathogen remediation company. AREV has a licensing agreement with Germinator to use its technologies to create a safer environment for the distribution of AREV’s Ready to Use Therapeutic Food. as AREV’s RUTFs target patient populations in refugee and internally-displaced-persons or IDP camps around the world.
