BETTER PLANT SCIENCES INC. (formerly The Yield Growth Corp.) Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Six Months Ended May 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

Better Plant Sciences Inc. ("Better Plant" or the "Company") (formerly "The Yield Growth Corp.") was incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada, on November 28, 2014. On August 18, 2020, the Company changed its name from The Yield Growth Corp. to Better Plant Sciences Inc. The Company acquires, develops, manufactures, markets, sells, and distributes plant-based products.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Management is aware, in making its going concern assessment, of material uncertainties related to events and conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has incurred a net loss of $183,782 and used $1,013,374 of cash for operating activities during the six months ended May 31, 2021. As at May 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of $1,281,463 including cash of $104,250 and had an accumulated deficit of $33,027,026. The Company had limited cash reserves at May 31, 2021, and currently relies on issuing new equity instruments to fund its operations until the growth in its business generates sufficient cash flow from operations. The continued operations of the Company are dependent on future profitable operations, management's ability to manage costs, and the future availability of equity or debt financing. Whether and when the Company can generate sufficient operating cash flows to pay for its expenditures and settle its obligations as they fall due is uncertain. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and the consolidated statement of financial position classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption be inappropriate. These adjustments could be material.

The recent outbreak of the coronavirus COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has led to broad adverse impacts on the Canadian and global economies. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and could further impact the Company's operations and the operations of the Company's suppliers and vendors as a result of quarantines, facility closures, and travel and logistics restrictions. As a result of the pandemic, the Company experienced delays in certain planned projects and product launches. The Company's associates and investment companies may have experienced the adverse impact of COVID-19 as well. Below is an analysis the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business:

Revenue generation

While the Company achieved significant revenue growth during the six months ended May 31, 2021, certain revenue generating areas were negatively impacted by COVID-19 restrictions. Specifically, a brick-and-mortar retail location at Victoria, British Columbia, as a juice bar, experienced, and is still experiencing, reduced traffic and sales. The Company acquired this location as part of a business combination (Note 10) effective October 9, 2020. Depending on the further development of the COVID-19 pandemic, its future impact on sales at this location is uncertain, although management is cautiously optimistic that such impact is manageable and will not be significant as part of the Company's total revenues.

Productivity

The Company has adopted a remote work policy and its team has been working remotely since March 2020. The Company has been able to keep its office open and functional with minimal staff presence. Management assessed that working remotely has not materially impacted the team's overall productivity or the Company's general financial position.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Six Months Ended May 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business (continued)

Suppliers' and vendors' contracts

The Company experienced slightly increased lead time of production and services with certain suppliers and vendors. However, such delays were not considered to have caused any material impact on the Company's business and financial position. The Company did not have to cancel any contracts with suppliers and vendors and did not incur any cancellation penalties during the year.

Funding

The general sentiment in the capital market caused difficulties in some fund-raising activities, but the Company was able to overcome the difficulties and obtain funding through its shelf prospectus to support operations. The Company maintains zero commercial debt aside from a Canada Emergency Business Account loan of $120,000 (of which only $80,000 is repayable), which is supported by the Federal Government and was legislated to help businesses operate during the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the COVID-19 pandemic still developing and the resurgence of new cases recently, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to the duration, spread, severity, and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's suppliers and vendors and the remedial actions and stimulus measures adopted by local and federal governments, and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Over the past year, the management team has been closely following the progression of COVID-19 and its potential impact on the Company and has been working on alternative measures and resources to minimize the impact on the Company. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, the Company may experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future. Therefore, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact at this time on its business, liquidity, capital resources and financial results going forward.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Statement of Compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and based on the principles of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2020, which include the Company's significant accounting policies, and have been prepared in accordance with the same methods of application.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(b) Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Urban Juve Provisions Inc. ("Urban Juve"), Jusu Wellness Inc. (formerly Thrive Activations Inc.) ("Jusu Wellness"), Wright & Well Essentials Inc. (formerly UJ Topicals Inc.) ("Wright & Well"), Jusu Bars Corp. (formerly UJ Beverages Inc.) ("Jusu Bars"), Yield Botanicals Inc. ("Yield Botanicals") and NeonMind Biosciences Inc. (formerly Flourish Mushroom Labs Inc.) ("NeonMind") (Note 6), which were incorporated in the province of British Columbia, Canada, W&W Manufacturing Inc. (formerly Mad Wallaby Distribution Inc.) ("W&W Manufacturing"), which was incorporated in the State of California, United States, and UJ Asia Limited ("UJ Asia") (Note 17), which was incorporated in Hong Kong and consolidated from inception to its dissolution on December 15, 2020. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Non-controlling interest of 50% in NeonMind is shown as a component of equity on the consolidated statement of financial position, and the share of loss attributable to non-controlling interest is shown as a component of net loss in the Company's consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year-ended November 30, 2020. On December 30, 2020, the Company's ownership in NeonMind was significantly reduced, resulting in the deconsolidation of NeonMind on the condensed interim consolidated financial statement as it is no longer considered a subsidiary in accordance with IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (Notes 6 and 17).

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. In addition, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for the cash flow information. The presentation and functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.

In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

(c) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include:

  • collectability of accounts receivable
  • impairment of inventory
  • useful lives and carrying values of equipment and intangible assets
  • carrying value of goodwill
  • impairment of investments in associates and marketable securities
  • deferred revenue
  • fair value of share-based compensation
  • measurement of unrecognized deferred income tax assets

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments (continued)

Significant judgments made by management in the application of IFRS that have a significant effect on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the following:

Going concern

The factors that are used in determining the application of the going concern assumption which requires management to consider all available information about the future, which is at least but not limited to 12 months from the year end of the reporting period.

Licensing revenues

In recognizing licensing revenue from contracts with multiple obligations, management's judgment with respect to contracts with multiple performance obligations are determined based on identifying distinct goods or services and uses judgment to estimate the proportion of each distinct good or service within a contract.

Website development costs

Website development costs related to the development of an e-commerce website for Jusu Wellness. Management's judgment is used in determining that the Company will realize significant economic benefit from the website to justify the capitalization of all costs relating to its development. All operational website costs incurred after its launch was expensed as incurred. Website costs are being amortized on a straightline basis over an estimated useful life of 3 years.

Incremental borrowing rate

Judgment was used to determine the incremental borrowing rate for lease liabilities under IFRS 16. The incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities was 16%. The rate was estimated based on the Company's ability to source debt financing to fund its operations.

Fair value of investments in private companies

The fair value of shares and warrants held in private companies is determined by valuation techniques such as recent arm's-length transactions, option pricing models, or other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants. The investments in common shares and warrants are measured at fair value through profit or loss and unrealized gains and losses are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Business combinations

Judgment is used in determining whether an acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition. In a business combination, all identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities acquired are recorded at their fair values. In determining the allocation of the purchase price in a business combination, including any acquisition related contingent consideration, estimates including market based and appraisal values are used. The contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no material effect on the statement of financial position or the reported results of operations.

(e) Future Accounting Pronouncements

Certain pronouncements have been issued by the IASB, or the IFRS Interpretations Committee that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted.

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

The amendment clarifies the requirements relating to determining if a liability should be presented as current or non-current in the statement of financial position. Under the new requirement, the assessment of whether a liability is presented as current or non-current is based on the rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and specifies that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability. It also defines a 'settlement' as the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services. In July 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the IASB deferred the effective date by one year to provide companies with more time to implement any classification changes resulting from these amendments. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. Earlier application is permitted. The implementation of these amendments is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.

Management has assessed that there are no other future accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements in the current or future reporting periods.

Marketable Securities

Komo Plant Based Foods Inc. ("Komo YUM") (formerly Fasttask Technologies Inc.)

On December 7, 2020, Komo YUM effected a 5-for-1 consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares. All common share amounts have been retroactively restated for the share consolidation.

During the year ended November 30, 2019, the Company received 200,000 units of Komo YUM at $1.25 per unit, as a bonus for services rendered. Each unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant exercisable at $4.50 per share for a period of two years.

During the year ended November 30, 2020, the Company received 34,769 units of Komo YUM with a fair value of $32,561 to settle accounts receivable of $14,777, resulting in a gain on settlement of accounts receivable of $17,784. Each unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.60 per share for a period of two years. During the year ended November 30, 2020, the Company sold 50,000 Komo YUM shares for proceeds of $6,041.

On May 31, 2021, Komo Plant Based Comfort Foods Inc. ("Komo Foods") entered into a merger agreement with Komo YUM whereby Komo Foods became a wholly owned subsidiary of Komo YUM and all Komo Foods shares were exchanged 1-to-1 for Komo YUM shares. The transaction was deemed as a reverse acquisition under IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Komo YUM shares started trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") on June 8, 2021.

The Company's investment in Komo Foods was previously accounted for as an Investment in Associate (Note 6). As a result of the merger, the Company's holdings of 4,916,666 shares of Komo Foods were exchanged for 4,916,666 shares of Komo YUM. Management performed an analysis to determine whether significant influence over Komo YUM remained after the merger. Management concluded that the Company no longer has significant influence over Komo YUM as its ownership decreased to 6% of the outstanding shares at May 31, 2021. In addition to the decreased ownership, the Company does not have sufficient representation on the board of directors, having only one common director between the Company and Komo YUM. For the period ending May 31, 2021, the Company's ownership of Komo YUM shares was accounted for as marketable securities.

3. Marketable Securities and Investments (continued)

As at May 31, 2021, the Company holds 5,101,435 shares (May 31, 2020 – 234,768) of Komo YUM and 451,435 share purchase warrants (May 31, 2020 – 34,769).

("TLS"), in exchange for 15,000,000 units of NeonMind with a fair value of $750,000. During the year ended November 30, 2020, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $750,000 on its investment in TLS, bringing its carrying value down to $nil, as TLS is still in the early stages of development in its business and there is material uncertainty on the going concern of TLS and the marketability and liquidity of the shares. The Company currently holds all shares of TLS and has no intention to sell its investment in TLS in the next 12 months.

6. Investment in Associate

Komo Plant Based Comfort Foods Inc. ("Komo Foods") (formerly Kingdom Brands Inc.)

Komo Foods is a plant-based food company engaged in the development, production, marketing, and distribution of a variety of plant-based frozen meals. On December 1, 2020, Komo Foods entered into a 1-for-4 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common shares. All common share amounts have been retroactively restated for the reverse stock split.

6. Investment in Associate (continued)

In prior periods, the Company entered into two licensing agreements with Komo Foods and Komo Foods' subsidiary, Kingdom Brands Management Inc. ("Kingdom Management"). As consideration for the licensing agreements, the Company received a total of 4,500,000 shares of Komo Foods with a fair value of $1,492,466. On March 9, 2020, the Company purchased an additional 416,667 units of Komo Foods for $200,000 in a private placement, where each unit consists of one common share and one warrant exercisable at $0.56 for a period of 24 months. The Company's ownership interest in Komo Foods was increased to approximately 20% at this time.

On May 31, 2021, Komo Foods entered into a merger agreement with Komo YUM. Prior to the merger, the Company had determined that it had significant influence in Komo Foods as it held 20% of the voting rights in Komo Foods, the Company and Komo Foods shared a common CFO, and the President and CEO of the Company is the spouse of a director of Komo Foods. Effective May 28, 2019, the Company's investment in Komo Foods was accounted for as an investment in an associate using the equity method. The equity method involves recording the initial investment at cost and subsequently adjusting the carrying value of the investment for the Company's proportionate share of the profit or loss, other comprehensive income or loss and any other changes in the associate's net assets, such as further investments or dividends.

During the six months ended May 31, 2021, the Company recorded its proportionate loss from Komo Foods of $213,234 (May 31, 2020 - $82,279). During the year ended November 30, 2020, the Company assessed an impairment of $1,073,263 on the value of its investment in Komo Foods. On December 30, 2020, the Company deconsolidated its former subsidiary NeonMind, which resulted in NeonMind's investment in Komo Foods with a carrying value of $86,185 being derecognized from the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The carrying value of the Company's investment in Komo Foods as at May 31, 2021 was $125,437 prior to being reclassified as an investment recorded at fair value through profit and loss (Note 3) (November 30, 2020 - $424,855). The difference between the carrying value of $125,437 and the fair value of $491,667 was recorded as a gain on reclassification of investment of $366,260 on the condensed interim consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Subsequent to the merger, the Company's shares of Komo Foods were exchanged one-to-one for Komo YUM shares and it was determined that the Company no longer has significant influence over Komo YUM. As a result, the Company began accounting for the investment in Komo Foods at fair value through profit or loss (Note 3).

The following tables summarize the unaudited financial information of Komo Foods as of May 31, 2021 prior to the merger, and for the period then ended:

On October 3, 2019, the Company received 30,000,000 common shares of NeonMind for the purchase of intangible assets with a fair value of $32,400.

On October 18, 2019, the Company was issued 90,000,000 common shares of NeonMind pursuant to a license agreement with a fair value of $97,200 whereby the Company granted a license for 128 product formulations to manufacture products infused with functional mushrooms for a term of 50 years.

On February 20, 2020, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Urban Juve Provisions Inc. ("Urban Juve") was issued 6,250,000 common shares of NeonMind pursuant to a license agreement, for a fair value of $500,000. The license agreement granted NeonMind a license to use, modify and sublicence extraction technology for the purpose of developing an extraction process for mushroom extract for a term of 25 years. The $500,000 was initially recorded as deferred revenue and is being recognized over a period of 18 months from the date of the agreement (Note 11).

On May 6, 2020, the Company entered into a share cancellation agreement with NeonMind for the purpose of NeonMind having the share structure of a company more likely to meet stock exchange listing standards in preparation for the planned initial public offering. Pursuant to the agreement, NeonMind cancelled 55,000,000 common shares owned by the Company in exchange for 55,000,000 warrants granted to the Company, exercisable at $0.20 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.

On October 21, 2020, the Company entered into a share cancellation agreement with NeonMind for the purpose of having the share structure of a company more likely to meet stock exchange listing standards in preparation for the planned initial public offering. Pursuant to the agreement, NeonMind cancelled 37,000,000 common shares owned by the Company for no consideration.

On October 21, 2020, Urban Juve entered into a share cancellation agreement with NeonMind for the purpose of having the share structure of a company more likely to meet stock exchange listing standards in preparation for the planned initial public offering. Pursuant to the agreement, NeonMind cancelled 937,500 common shares owned by Urban Juve for no consideration.

As of November 30, 2020, the Company held, directly and indirectly through its wholly owned subsidiary Urban Juve, a total of 33,313,500 common shares and 55,000,000 common share purchase warrants of NeonMind. On November 30, 2020, NeonMind had 66,430,500 common shares outstanding, of which the Company owned 33,313,500 common shares, representing 50.1% of the total common shares outstanding.

On December 30, 2020, NeonMind completed an initial public offering ("IPO"), issuing 46,000,000 units at a price of $0.10 per unit. NeonMind's shares became listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker symbol "NEON" on January 4, 2021. After the IPO, NeonMind had 112,430,500 common shares outstanding, of which the Company owned 33,313,500, representing 29.7% of the total common shares outstanding. Throughout the period ended May 31, 2021, NeonMind issued additional common shares, further diluting the Company's ownership.

6. Investment in Associate (continued)

As a result of the completion of NeonMind's IPO, the Company assessed its ownership of NeonMind in accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and reached the conclusion that the Company had lost control of NeonMind. The conclusion was reached based on several factors, primarily the decrease in ownership of NeonMind from 50.1% to 29.7%, as well as changes in rights due to changes in key management personnel. As a result, the Company performed a deconsolidation of NeonMind as at December 30, 2020, the date when control was lost. The fair value of the investment retained in NeonMind was calculated at the fair value at the date when control was lost, which was $0.10 per share in alignment with the price of the IPO units issued on the same date.

The Company has determined that it has significant influence in NeonMind as it held 30% of the voting rights in NeonMind at December 31, 2020, and the Company and NeonMind share a common CFO. Effective December 31, 2020, the Company's investment in NeonMind was accounted for as an investment in associate using the equity method. The equity method involves recording the initial investment at cost and subsequently adjusting the carrying value of the investment for the Company's proportionate share of the profit or loss, other comprehensive income or loss and any other changes in the associate's net assets, such as further investments or dividends.

The Company has the same reporting date as NeonMind and was provided with the unaudited financial information of NeonMind for the period from December 31, 2020 to May 31, 2021 to calculate the portion of net loss attributable to the Company. During the period ended May 31, 2021, the Company sold 82,500 NeonMind shares which had a book value of $8,250 for net proceeds of $18,175, resulting in a gain on sale of $9,925. During the period ended May 31, 2021, the Company recorded its proportionate loss from NeonMind of $1,287,618.

As of May 31, 2021, the Company held 33,231,000 shares of NeonMind, which represented 27% ownership in NeonMind. The carrying value of the Company's investment in NeonMind as at May 31, 2021 was $2,035,483. The Company's investment in NeonMind was recorded as a subsidiary at November 30, 2020.

The following tables summarize the unaudited financial information of NeonMind as of May 31, 2021 and for the period then ended:

7. Right-of-use Assets and Lease Liabilities

Upon adoption of IFRS 16, the Company recognized lease liabilities in relation to a lease for its office space which had previously been classified as an operating lease under the principles of IAS 17 Leases whereby lease payments were recorded as expenses as they were incurred. Under IFRS 16, the lease liability was measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments as at December 1, 2019, discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liability on December 1, 2019 was 16%, which is the rate estimated by management on the Company's ability to source debt financing to fund its operations. The associated lease liability recognized on December 1, 2019 was $229,117, and was applied using the modified retrospective approach in accordance with IFRS 16.

An associated right-of-use asset for the lease was measured at the amount equal to the lease liability on December 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. Lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

The Company entered into a second lease agreement for a warehouse facility commencing on March 1, 2020. The associated lease liability and right-of-use asset recognized upon commencement of the warehouse lease was $100,130.

During the year ended November 30, 2020, additions to product formulations, customer relationships and brand name were related to the Company's business combination (Note 10). There were no additions to product formulations, customer relationships, or brand name during the six months ended May 31, 2021.

10. Business Combination and Goodwill (continued)

On October 9, 2020, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement with Jusu Body Inc., Jusu Bars Inc. and Jusu CBD Inc.

Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued 22,000,000 share units which were comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.10 per share for a period of two years. The total fair value of the share units was $2,196,066, of which $1,355,700 was allocated to the fair value of common shares and $840,366 was allocated to the fair value of the warrants. 3,000,000 of the share units were subject to holdback conditions for the purpose of ensuring that Jusu was discharged from certain security registrations. As of May 31, 2021, the holdback amount had not been released to Jusu.

In addition, there is a contingent consideration payable of an additional 2,500,000 units of the Company if within three years, the quarterly or annual financial statements for any period indicate that the Company has generated $5 million in gross revenues through the sale of Jusu products. Each unit will be comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant exercisable at a price equal to the closing price of the shares on the date of issuance. The fair value of the contingent consideration was $31,420 and was determined by an independent valuation.

The Company has determined this transaction is a business combination as the assets and processes acquired from Jusu constitute a business. The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the assets acquired were recorded at their estimated fair value at the acquisition date.

15. Stock Options (continued)

Share-based compensation expense is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. During the six months ended May 31, 2021, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $987,320 (May 31, 2020 - $574,891) in equity reserves, of which $620,256 (May 31, 2020 - $343,773) pertains to directors and officers of the Company. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the six months ended May 31, 2021, was $0.10 (May 31, 2020 - $0.15) per share. The weighted average share price for stock options exercised was $0.13 (May 31, 2020 - $0.26). Weighted average assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based compensation expense, assuming no expected dividends or forfeitures, are as follows:

2021 2020
Risk-free interest rate 0.75% 1.07%
Dividend yield 0% 0%
Expected volatility 122% 109%
Expected life (years) 4.88 4.80

16. Earnings (loss) per share

a) Basic

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

Basic net income (loss) per share $0.00 $(0.02) $0.00 $(0.04)

b) Diluted

Net income (loss) per diluted share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the effects of potentially dilutive stock options and warrants. For the three and six months ended May 31, 2020, there was a net loss attributable to shareholders of the Company. Accordingly, all share options and warrants would be considered anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for these periods. The weighted average shares outstanding and weighted average diluted shares outstanding are therefore the same.

On December 30, 2020, the Company concluded that control over its former subsidiary, NeonMind, had been lost (Note 6). As a result, the Company deconsolidated NeonMind on the date when control was lost. The Company consolidated NeonMind's income statement from December 1 to December 30, 2020. The deconsolidation consisted of the Company derecognizing the assets and liabilities of NeonMind at the date when control was lost, derecognizing the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest in NeonMind, recognizing the fair value of the investment retained in NeonMind, and recognizing the resulting difference as a gain in the condensed interim consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of the investment retained in NeonMind was calculated at the fair value at the date when control was lost, which was $0.10 per share in alignment with the price of the IPO units issued on the same date.

The gain on loss of control of the subsidiary was calculated as follows:

December 30, 2020
Fair value of retained investment $3,331,350
Less: carrying value of net assets (2,932,367)
Less: adjustment to carrying value of retained investment 2,536,748
Less: accumulated non-controlling interest 747,057
Total gain on loss of control of subsidiary $3,682,788
The gain is comprised of:
Gain on loss of control of subsidiary $2,876,016
Gain on retained investment 806,772
Total gain on loss of control of subsidiary $3,682,788

On December 15, 2020, the Company dissolved its wholly owned subsidiary, UJ Asia Limited ("UJ Asia"). As a result of deregistering the former subsidiary, the Company derecognized the net liability of UJ Asia of $2,623. As there were no proceeds received upon the disposal of the subsidiary to offset the value of UJ Asia's net assets, the Company recorded a loss of $2,623 on the condensed interim consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended May 31, 2021.

19. Capital Management

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments, based on the funds available to the Company, to support the general operations of the Company and facilitate the liquidity needs of its operations. 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 to sustain future development of the business. The Company defines capital to include its working capital position, share capital, special warrant reserve, and equity reserves.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the six months ended May 31, 2021. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

21. Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Fair Values

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company's consolidated statement of financial position as at May 31, 2021, as follows:

Fair Value Measurements Using
Quoted prices inactive markets foridentical instruments Significant otherobservableinputs Significantunobservableinputs BalanceMay 31, 2021
(Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3)
Marketable securities $ 510,144 $542 $ $ 510,686
Investment in associate 2,035,482 2,035,482
$ 510,144 $2,036,024 $ $ 2,546,168

The fair values of other financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease liabilities, loans payable, and amounts due from and to related parties, approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments should a counter-party default on its obligation. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to accounts receivable. The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with its cash balance by dealing with major financial institutions in Canada, and has no other significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Accounts receivable is primarily comprised of trade accounts receivable. For accounts receivable, the Company limits its exposure to credit risk by dealing with what management believes to be financially sound counter parties. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

Foreign Exchange Rate and Interest Rate Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to the changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is mainly exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that the following monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in US dollars:

May 31, May 31,
2021 2020
USD USD
Cash $2,053 $ 3,686
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (90,974) (109,690)
Net exposure $(88,921) $ (106,004)
Canadian dollar equivalent $(107,345) $ (146,148)

A 10% change in the foreign exchange rate of US dollars is not expected to have a material impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The Company is not exposed to any significant interest rate risk.

21. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued)

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations due to shortage of funds. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash balances and adjusting its operating budget and expenditure. Liquidity requirements are managed based on expected cash flows to ensure that there are sufficient funds to meet short-term and specific obligations.

Price Risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to its marketable securities, which consists of common shares and warrants held in publicly-traded companies and is dependent upon the market price or the fair value of the common shares for those companies. The market price or the fair value of the common shares of those companies can fluctuate significantly, and there is no assurance that the future market price or the fair value of those companies will not decrease significantly.

22. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

On March 3, 2021, a claim was commenced against the Company and Jusu Bars Inc., which sold its assets to the Company during the year ended November 30, 2020 (see Note 10), regarding the failure of Jusu Bars Inc., to pay rent on its retail unit located in Calgary, Alberta. The landlord is seeking payment for the amounts owing in arrears and damages for breach of contract. The Company believes this claim lacks merit and intends to defend this claim. Due to the uncertainty of timing and the amount of estimated future cash outflows relating to this claim, no provision has been recognized.

23. Segmented Information

The Company has two reporting segments: Licensing and product sales, and Corporate and consulting. Licensing and product sales are aggregated as one segment as they are focused around the same product line and share similar economic characteristics. Performance is measured based on operating income (loss) and net income (loss) before taxes, as management believes that this information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the operating segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries. Operating income (loss) is calculated as revenue less operating expenses.
