INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Shareholders of The Tinley Beverage Company Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Tinley Beverage Company Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and 2019 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
Basis of Opinion
We conduced our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards (“GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audits of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 2(b) to the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $7,689,970 and had negative cash flows from operations of $4,551,617 and its continued existence is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing. As stated in Note 2(b), these events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits, or otherwise appears to be misstated.
We obtained the MD&A prior to the date of this auditors’ report. If based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditors’ report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audits of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosure are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audits and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audits.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report is Ahmad Aslam, CPA, CA.

THE TINLEY BEVERAGE COMPANY INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. Nature of Operations
The Tinley Beverage Company Inc. (“Tinley”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada by Articles of Incorporation dated October 26, 2007. Tinley, with its subsidiaries (see Note 2(d)) (together, the “Company”) manufacture a line of liquor-inspired, non-alcoholic, cannabis-infused beverages for use in California, United States (“US”). The Company also manufactures the “Tinley[TM] Tonics” and “Tinley[TM] ’27” line of products, which are available in retail locations in California and online throughout the US. The Company’s common shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the trading symbol “TNY” and on the OTCQX[®] under the trading symbol “TNYBF”.
The address of the Company’s registered office is 77 King Street West, Suite 2905, Toronto, Ontario, M5K 1H1, Canada.
2. Basis of Presentation
(a) Statement of Compliance
The Company’s consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The accounting policies set out below were consistently applied to all periods presented unless otherwise noted.
These consolidated financial statements were reviewed, approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company on April 26, 2021.
(b) Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The application of the going concern basis is dependent upon the Company achieving profitable operations to generate sufficient cash flows to fund continuing operations, or, in the absence of adequate cash flows from operations, obtaining additional financing to support operations for the foreseeable future. It is not possible to predict whether future financing efforts will be successful or if the Company will attain profitable levels of operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had a net loss of $7,689,970, incurred negative cash flow from operations of $4,551,617, and has an accumulated deficit of $45,660,155 as at December 31, 2020. The Company is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing. In assessing whether the going concern assumption was appropriate, management took into account all relevant information available about the future, which was at least, but not limited to, the year ending December 31, 2021. Management carefully manages its cash flows and, as necessary, undertakes efforts to raise additional capita l.
These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Such adjustments could be material.
(c) Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies set out in Note 3.
In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tinley and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Hemplify Inc., Algonquin Springs Beverage Management LLC, Beckett Tonics California Inc. (formerly Boardwalk Beverages, Inc.), Lakewood Libations Inc. and Beckett’s Tonics Canada Inc., as well as certain legacy dormant entities: Bolivar Gold Corp., QBC Holdings Corp., Kulta Corp., San Lucas Gold Corp. and Colombian Mining Corp.

THE TINLEY BEVERAGE COMPANY INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Subsidiaries consist of entities over which the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns as well as the ability to affect those returns through the power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date control is transferred to the Company and are-deconsolidated from the date control ceases. The consolidated financial statements include all the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of Tinley and its subsidiaries after eliminating inter-entity balances and transactions.
(e) Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and adjustments are made to income as appropriate in the period they become known. Items for which actual results may differ materially from these estimates are described as follows:
Going concern
At the end of each reporting period, management exercises judgment in assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern by reviewing its performance, resources and future obligations.
Covid-19 Pandemic
The global pandemic related to an outbreak of COVID-19 has cast uncertainty on many of the Company’s assumptions and estimates. There can be no assurance that such assumptions and estimates continue to be valid. Given the rapid pace of change in the severity of and response to the COVID-19 outbreak, it is premature for the Company make further assumptions or estimates. The situation is dynamic and the ultimate duration and magnitude of the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and the financial effect on the business is not known at this time. These impacts could include, amongst others, an impact on the Company’s ability to obtain debt or equity financing, increased credit risk on receivables, impairments in the value of the long-lived assets, or potential future decreases in revenue or profitability of the Company’s ongoing operations.
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position that cannot be derived from active markets, are determined using a variety of techniques including the use of valuation models. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data are not available, judgment is required to establish fair values. Judgments include, but are not limited to, consideration of model inputs such as volatility, estimated life and discount rates.
Intangible assets
Purchased intangible assets are recognized as assets in accordance with IAS 38 ‘Intangible Assets’ , where it is probable that the use of the asset will generate future economic benefits and where the cost of the asset can be determined reliably. Intangible assets acquired are initially recognized at cost of purchase and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Expected credit losses on financial assets
Determining an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) for all debt financial assets not held at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) requires management to make assumptions about the historical patterns for the probability of default, the timing of collection and the amount of incurred credit losses, which are adjusted based on management’s judgment about whether economic conditions and credit terms are such that actual losses may be higher or lower than what the historical patterns suggest.
Determination of cash generating units
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash inflows. The Company determines which groups of assets (each a “CashGenerating Unit” or a “CGU”) can generate cash flows that are largely independent of other operations within the
8
THE TINLEY BEVERAGE COMPANY INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Company. Management exercises judgment in assessing where active markets exist including an analysis of the degree of autonomy each operation has in negotiating prices with customers. The Company has identified each product line as a separate CGU, based on the nature of the business and the assessment that the CGUs generate cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets deployed in the Company.
Impairment
Long-lived assets except indefinite life intangible assets and goodwill, including property and equipment, are reviewed for indicators of impairment at each reporting period or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is the higher of its fair value, less costs to sell, and its value in use. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment charge is recognized immediately in profit or loss by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lesser of the revised estimate of recoverable amount, and the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized previously.
Income taxes
Income taxes and tax exposures recognized in the consolidated financial statements reflect management’s best estimate of the outcome based on facts known at the reporting date. When the Company anticipates a future income tax payment based on its estimates, it recognizes a liability. The difference between the expected amount and the final tax outcome has an impact on current and deferred taxes when the Company becomes aware of this difference.
In addition, when the Company incurs losses that cannot be associated with current or past profits, it assesses the probability of taxable profits being available in the future based on its budgeted forecasts. These forecasts are adjusted to take account of certain non-taxable income and expenses and specific rules on the use of unused credits and tax losses. When the forecasts indicate the sufficient future taxable income will be available to deduct the temporary differences, a deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences.
Share-based payment transactions and warrants
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with officers and directors by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair va lue for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining and making assumptions about the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life, volatility, dividend yield of the share option and forfeiture rate. Similar calculations are made in order to value warrants. Such judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions will affect the fair value estimates.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- (a) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less held in Canadian chartered banks and reputable Canadian and US financial institutions.
(b) Inventories
Inventories are initially recognized at cost, and subsequently measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value (the estimate selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale) using the “weighted average cost” method. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
(c) Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Revenue is recognized at the transaction price, which is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods to a customer. Net revenue from sale of goods, as presented in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, represents revenue from the sale of goods less expected price discounts.
9
THE TINLEY BEVERAGE COMPANY INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
The Company’s contracts with customers for the sales of cannabis-infused beverages consist of one performance obligation. The Company has concluded that revenue from the sale of these products should be recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer, which is on shipment or delivery, depending on the contract.
The Company’s payment terms vary by customer types. Typically, payment is due 30 days after the transfer of control.
(d) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes the acquisition costs or construction costs, as well as the costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its use in operations. When property and equipment include significant components with different useful lives, they are recorded and depreciated separately.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of the assets and commences when title and ownership have transferred to the Company and is readily available for its intended use. The residual value, useful life and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. Such a review takes into consideration the nature of the asset, the intended use and impact of technological changes. Where parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of capital assets. Subsequent costs are included in the asset carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis as follows:
-
Machinery and equipment: 10 years
-
Leasehold improvements: Straight-line over the term of the lease
-
Vehicles: 5 years
(e) Income Taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax expense. Current and deferred taxes are recognized in net loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income (loss).
Current income taxes
Current income taxes are recognized and measured at the amount expected to be recovered from, or payable to, the taxation authorities based on the income tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and includes any adjustment to taxes payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred income taxes
Deferred income taxes are recorded for temporary differences at the date of the consolidated statements of financial position between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. The carrying amount of a deferred income tax asset is reviewed at the end of the reporting period and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at the end of the reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset if, and only if, they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company has the legal rights and intent to offset.

(f) Equity
Common shares, stock options and warrants are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of common shares and warrants are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
(g) Loss per Share
The basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, such as outstanding stock options and share purchase warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year, if dilutive. Dilution is calculated based on the net number of common shares issued after proceeds upon the exercise of the options and warrants to purchase common shares at the average market price for the year. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, all of the outstanding share options and warrants were anti-dilutive.
(h) Share-Based Payments
Employees (including directors and senior executives) of the Company receive a portion of their remuneration in the form of share‐based payment transactions, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments. The costs of share-based payments are recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the “Vesting Date”). The cumulative expense is recognized for such transactions at each reporting date until the Vesting Date and reflects the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account (“Black-Scholes”) the terms and conditions which the options were granted, the estimated volatility, estimated risk free rate and estimated forfeitures. In situations where equity instruments are issued to parties other than employees and the fair value of some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be reliably measured, the transactions are measured at the fair value of the instruments.
If a grant of the share-based payments is cancelled or settled during the vesting period (other than a grant cancelled by forfeiture when the vesting conditions are not satisfied), the Company accounts for the cancellation or settlement as an acceleration of vesting, and recognized immediately the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services over the remainder of the vesting period.
The amount recognized for goods or services received during the vesting period are based on the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments anticipated to vest. The Company revises that estimate, if necessary, if subsequent information indicates that the number of share options anticipated to vest differs from previous estimates. On the Vesting Date, the Company revises the estimate to equal the number of equity instrument that ultimately vested. After the Vesting Date, the Company makes no subsequent adjustment to total equity for goods or services received if the share options are later forfeited or they expire at the end of the share option’s life.
If a grant of the share based payment is modified during the vesting period (other than a grant cancelled by forfeiture when the vesting conditions are not satisfied) and their fair value of the new instruments is higher than the fair value of the original instrument, the incremental fair value granted is included in the measurement of the amount recognized for services received over the period from modification date until the date when the modified equity instruments vests, in addition to the amount based on the grant date fair value of the original equity instruments, which is recognized over the remainder of the original vesting period of the original instrument.
(i) Warrants
The Company follows the relative fair value method with respect to the measurement of common shares and warrants issued as units (each being a “Unit”). The proceeds from the issuance of units are allocated between share capital and warrants. The warrant component is recorded in warrant reserves. Unit proceeds are allocated to common shares and warrants using the Black-Scholes and the share price at the time of financing, if and when the warrants are exercised, consideration paid by the warrant holder, together with the amount previously recognized in warrant reserves, is recorded as an increase to share capital A forfeiture rate is estimated on the grant date and is adjusted to reflect the actual number of warrants that vest. When warrants are cancelled, they are treated as if

THE TINLEY BEVERAGE COMPANY INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
they have vested on the date of cancellation and any cost not yet recognized in profit or loss is immediately expensed. Upon expiration of warrants, the amount applicable to expired warrants is moved to contributed surplus.
(j) Research and Development
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures are capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and use or sell the asset. Other development expenditures are recognized in net loss as incurred. To date, no development costs have been capitalized.
(k) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) that has arisen as a result of a past event, it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre‐tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract.
As at December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no material provisions.
(l) Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivatives, are recognized on the statements of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the financial instrument or derivative contract.
Classification
The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following measurement categories: (a) those to be measured subsequently at FVTPL; (b) those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”); and (c) those to be measured at amortized cost. The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial liabilities are classified as those to be measured at amortized cost unless they are designated as those to be measured subsequently at FVTPL (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). For assets and liabilities measured at FVTPL, gains and losses are recorded in profit and loss.
The Company reclassifies financial assets when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.
Amortized cost
This category includes financial assets that are held within a business model with the objective to hold the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that meet the solely principal and interest (“SPPI”) criterion. Financial asset classified in this category are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Expected credit loss impairment model
IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ introduced a single ECL impairment model, which is based on changes in credit quality since initial application. The adoption of the ECL impairment model had resulted in a provision of ECL recorded on the Company’s consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
-
A maximum 12-month allowance for ECL is recognized from initial recognition reflecting the portion of lifetime cash shortfalls that would result if a default occurs in the 12 months after the reporting date, weighted by the risk of a default occurring.
-
A lifetime ECL allowance is recognized if a significant increase in credit risk is detected subsequent to the instruments initial recognition reflecting lifetime cash shortfalls that would result over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12
THE TINLEY BEVERAGE COMPANY INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
- A lifetime ECL allowance is recognized for credit impaired financial instruments.
The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due. The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full or when the financial asset is more than 90 days past due.
The carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts.
FVTPL
This category includes derivative instruments as well as quoted equity instruments which the Company has not irrevocably elected, at initial recognition or transition, to classify at FVTOCI. This category would also include debt instruments whose cash flow characteristics fail the SPPI criterion or are not held within a business model whose objective is either to collect contractual cash flows, or to both collect contractual cash flows and sell. Financial assets in this category are recorded at fair value with changes recognized in profit or loss.
FVTOCI
Equity instruments that are not held-for-trading can be irrevocably designated to have their change in FVTOCI instead of through profit or loss. This election can be made on individual instruments and is not required to be made for the entire class of instruments. Attributable transaction costs are included in the carrying value of the instruments. Financial assets at FVTOCI are initially measured at fair value and changes therein are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
Measurement
All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition, plus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets and financial liabilities with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of the subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets including equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods, with any changes taken through profit and loss or other comprehensive income (loss) (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). For financial liabilities measured subsequently at FVTPL, changes in fair value due to credit risk are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).
The Company’s classification of financial assets and liabilities is summarized below:
| Classification | |
|---|---|
| Cash | Amortized cost |
| Accounts receivable | Amortized cost |
| Short-term investments | FVTPL |
| Security deposits | Amortized cost |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost |
| Leasepayable | Amortized cost |
Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all the associated risks and rewards of ownership
13
THE TINLEY BEVERAGE COMPANY INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligation under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid or payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Fair value hierarchy
The determination of fair value requires judgment and is based on market information, where available and appropriate. The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
-
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).
(m) Foreign Currency Transactions
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The functional currency of Tinley is the Canadian Dollar, which is the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements. The functional currency of all subsidiaries is the US Dollar (“USD”).
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains (losses) resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss.
Translation of foreign operations
The results and financial position of all the entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of the consolidated statements of financial position.
-
Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate in effect on the dates of the transactions); and
-
All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, exchange differences that were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss as part of the gain or loss on sale.
(n) Leased Assets
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
14
THE TINLEY BEVERAGE COMPANY INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
The Company then recognizes a right-of-use asset (“RUA”) and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The RUA is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The assets are depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the RUA or the lease term using the straight-line method. The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or if the Company changes its assessment whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.
When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of the remeasurement is recognized as a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the RUA, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the RUA has been reduced to zero.
(o) Adoption of New Accounting Standards
The Company adopted the following amendments and new standards effective January 1, 2020:
IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ (“IAS 1”) and IAS 8 ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’ were amended in October 2018 to refine the definition of materiality and clarify its characteristics. The revised definition focuses on the idea that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general-purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The Company had assessed there was no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements, as a result of the adoption of these amendments.
(p) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
At the date of authorization of these consolidated financial statements, the IASB and IFRS Interpretations Committee have issued the following new and revised standard which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021:
In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 which clarify the requirements for classifying liabilities as either current or non-current by: (i) specifying that the conditions which exist at the end of the reporting period determine if a right to defer settlement of a liability exists; (ii) clarifying that settlement of a liability refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services; (iii) clarifying that classification is unaffected by management’s expectation about events after the balance sheet date; and (iv) clarifying the classification requirements for debt an entity may settle by converting it into equity. The amendments clarify existing requirements, rather than make changes to the requirements, and so are not expected to have a significant impact on an entity’s financial statements. However, the clarifications may result in reclassification of some liabilities from current to non-current or vice-versa. Because of this impact, the IASB has provided a longer effective date to allow entities to prepare for these amendments. In July 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to defer the effective date of the amendments by one year from its originally planned effective date to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 due to the impact of COVID-19. Early application is permitted. Management has determined that none of these will have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to update IAS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’ (“IAS 37”). The amendments specify that in assessing whether a contract is onerous under IAS 37, the cost of fulfilling a contract includes both the incremental costs and an allocation of costs that relate directly to contract activities. The amendments also include examples of costs that do, and do not, relate directly to a contra ct. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. Earlier application is permitted.

9. Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liability
On March 1, 2018, the Company entered into two lease agreements for the Long Beach facility in California, for beverage production and bottling facilities. The leases commenced on March 1, 2018, with a term of five years and three months, ending May 31, 2023, with an option to renew for two additional 36-month periods. The lease of the Long Beach facility was as a RUA on adoption of IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ on January 1, 2019.

As at December 31, 2020, the Company considers its capital to be share capital, reserve for share-based payments, reserve for warrants and contributed surplus, and reduced by accumulated deficit and accumulated other comprehensive loss, totaling $8,608,436 (December 31, 2019 – $10,553,550).
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements, and there were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management for the year ended December 31, 2020.
