INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholders of Blackhawk Growth Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Blackhawk Growth Corp. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in 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 consolidated financial position of the Company as at June 30, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit 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 3 of the consolidated financial statements, which indicates 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, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon, included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis report.

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 audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 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 consolidated 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.

SHIM & Associates LLP Chartered Professional Accountants

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit 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 auditor’s 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 Canadian generally accepted auditing standards 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 Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism 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 the 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 on 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 auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s 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.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

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 audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Dong H. Shim.

BLACKAWK GROWTH CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

1. General information:

Blackhawk Growth Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on March 25, 1986.

The Company invests in equity and debt instruments of companies to generate positive returns for shareholders.

The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 3810, Bankers Hall West, 888 - 3 Street SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 5C5.

2. Basis of preparation:

Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted. The Company presents its consolidated financial position on a non-classified basis in order of liquidity.

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except as disclosed in note 4. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

3. Going concern:

For the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company reported a net and comprehensive loss of $2,520,405 (2020 – $1,865,221) and has an accumulated deficit of $14,356,006 (2020 - $11,835,601). These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As at June 30, 2021, the Company has $419,617 (2020 - $619,373) in cash available to meet its liabilities as they become due. The Company will manage its activity levels, expenditures and commitments based on its current cash position.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate additional financial resources in order to meet its planned business objectives. Financial resources will come in the form of debt and/or equity financing. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments in the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities reported that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate. Such adjustments could be material.

BLACKAWK GROWTH CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

3. Going concern (continued):

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic known as COVID19. This is causing significant financial market and social dislocation. This has also resulted in significant economic uncertainty and consequently, it is difficult to reliably measure the potential impact of this uncertainty on the Company’s future financial results.

4. Significant accounting policies:

These policies have been applied consistently for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

a.) Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”), and include the accounts of the Corporation and its former wholly owned consolidated subsidiary. As discussed under critical accounting estimates and judgements, the Company has determined it meets the definition of an investment entity.

Consolidated subsidiary

In accordance with IFRS 10, subsidiaries are those entities that provide investments-related services and that the Company controls by having the power to govern the financial and operating polices of the entity. Such entities would include those who incur management and consulting fees for the Company’s day to day operations. All intercompany amounts and transactions amongst these consolidated entities have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company’s only consolidated entity was Blackhawk Resource Operating Corp., which was disposed of on January 31, 2019. The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary in Delaware, which is a consolidated entity that has been inactive throughout the year ended June 30, 2021.

Interests in unconsolidated subsidiaries

In accordance with the amendments for investment entities under IFRS 10, interests in subsidiaries other than those that provide investment related services are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss rather than consolidating them. As discussed under critical accounting estimates and judgements, management exercised judgement when determining whether subsidiaries are investment entities.

The entity, NuWave Foods Inc. (“NuWave”) is significantly influenced or controlled by the Company either directly or indirectly and are held as investments. NuWave’s principal place of business is in Canada.

The entities, Noble Line Inc., Sac Pharma Partners Inc. and Trip Pharma Inc. are significantly influenced or controlled by the Corporation either directly or indirectly and are held as investments.

BLACKAWK GROWTH CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

4. Significant accounting policies (continued):

b.) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand. Other investments (term deposits and certificates of deposit) with an original term to maturity at purchase of three months or less are reported as cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of financial position.

c.) Foreign currency translation

The Company’s former and current consolidated subsidiaries had the same functional currency as that of the Company and translates foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rate prevailing at period end; non-monetary assets, liabilities and related depreciation at historic rates; revenues and expenses at the average rate of exchange for the period; and any resulting foreign exchange gains or losses are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

d.) Taxes

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the estimated tax effects of temporary differences in the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and their respective tax bases.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using the enacted or substantively enacted income tax rates that are expected to apply when the asset is recovered or the liability is settled. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are not recognized when they arise on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction (other than in a business combination) that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit.

Deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences or tax loss carry forwards can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date, and is reduced if it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences or tax loss carry forwards can be utilized.

Current tax is calculated based on net earnings for the year, adjusted for items that are non-taxable or taxed in different periods, using income tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted at each reporting date.

Income taxes are recognized in equity or other comprehensive income, consistent with the items to which they relate.

BLACKAWK GROWTH CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

4. Significant accounting policies (continued):

e.) Revenue recognition

Purchases and sales of investments are recognized on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on disposal of investments and unrealized gains and losses in the value of investments are reflected in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Upon disposal of an investment, previously recognized unrealized gains or losses are reversed to recognize the full realized gain or loss in the period of disposition.

The Company recognizes interest income as the interest is earned using the accrual method.

f.) Share based compensation

The Company’s Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) provides current employees with the right to elect to receive common shares in exchange for options surrendered. The Company records compensation expense over the graded vesting period based on the fair value of options granted. Compensation expense is recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss as share based compensation expense with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus. When stock options are exercised, the proceeds, together with the amount recorded in contributed surplus, are recorded in share capital. The fair value of stock options granted is estimated using the BlackScholes option pricing model, taking into account amounts that are believed to approximate the forfeiture rate, volatility of the trading price of the Company’s shares, the expected lives of the awards of stock based compensation, the fair value of the Company’s stock and the risk-free interest rate, as determined at the grant date. Forfeitures are estimated through the vesting period based on past experience and future expectations, and adjusted upon actual vesting.

g.) Financial instruments (investments at fair value)

Classification

All investments at fair value are classified upon initial recognition and are designated as fair value through profit or loss with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

Recognition, derecognition and measurement

Purchases and sales of investments are recognized on the trade date.

Equity investments and loan investments are designated at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Investments are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flow from the investment has expired or the Company has transferred the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition.

BLACKAWK GROWTH CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

4. Significant accounting policies (continued):

g.) Financial instruments (investments at fair value) (continued)

Recognition, derecognition and measurement (continued)

Subsequent to initial recognition, all investments are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the investments at fair value through profit or loss category are presented in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss within net change in unrealized and realized gains or losses on investments in the period in which they arise.

Determination of fair values

The determination of fair value requires judgment and is based on market information, where available and appropriate. At the end of each financial reporting period, the Company’s management estimates the fair value of investments based on the criteria below and reflects such valuations in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company is also required to disclose details of its investments within three hierarchy levels (Level 1, 2, or 3) as defined in note 7, based on the transparency of inputs used in measuring or disclosing the fair value, and to provide additional disclosure in connection therewith.

Equity investments

Securities including shares, and warrants which are traded in an active market, such as on a recognized securities exchange and for which no sales restrictions apply, are presented at fair value based on quoted closing trade prices at the consolidated statement of financial position date or the closing trade price on the last day the security traded if there were no trades at the consolidated statement of financial position date. These are included in Level 1 in note 7.

For warrants not traded in an active market, no market value is readily available. When there are sufficient and reliable observable market inputs, the Black-Scholes valuation technique is used. These are included in Level 2 in note 7. When no sufficient and reliable observable market inputs are available the warrants would be carried at a Nil value, until a market value can be determined or the Black Sholes technique can be used.

The determinations of fair value of the Company’s privately-held investments are evaluated based on the financial information available from the private company, including financial statements, cash forecasts, and other completed private placements as well as comparative other companies in the same industry. These are included in Level 3 in note 7.

BLACKAWK GROWTH CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

4. Significant accounting policies (continued):

g.) Financial instruments (investments at fair value) (continued)

Loan investments

When determining the fair value of short term loans, the Company considers the nature and length of the loan, interest on the loan, business risk of the investee company and any other factors that may be relevant to the ongoing and realizable value of the loan investments. The short term loans would be included in Level 3.

h.) Financial instruments other than investments held at fair value

The Company classifies its financial instruments into one of the following categories: fair value through profit or loss, and financial assets or liabilities measured at amortized cost. All financial instruments are measured at fair value on initial recognition. Measurement in subsequent periods is dependent on the classification of the respective financial instrument.

Fair value through profit or loss financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Financial instruments classified as amortized cost are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Cash and cash equivalents, and trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are classified as assets or liabilities measured at amortized cost. Investments are classified as assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Transaction costs in respect of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Transaction costs in respect of financial instruments classified at amortized cost are included in the initial measurement of the financial instrument and amortized to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss using the effective interest method.

i.) Per common share amounts

Basic per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net earnings or loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted per share amounts are calculated by using the treasury stock method, by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the potential number of issued instruments which may have a dilutive effect on net earnings or loss. This method assumes that proceeds received from the exercise of in-the-money instruments are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price for the year.

BLACKAWK GROWTH CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

5. Critical accounting estimates and judgments:

The Company has made estimates and assumptions regarding certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.

Accounting Estimates:

a) Share based compensation

The Company measures the cost of share-based compensation transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments. Estimating fair value for share-based compensation 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, forfeiture rate, volatility and dividend yield of the share option. The Company measures the cost of share-based compensation transactions with consultants by reference to the fair value of the services to be performed.

b) Taxes

Tax interpretations, regulations and legislation are subject to change and as such, income taxes are subject to measurement uncertainty. Deferred tax assets are assessed by management at the end of the reporting period to determine the probability that they will be realized from future taxable earnings.

c) Fair value of investments in securities not quoted in an active market or private company investments:

Where the fair value of financial assets recorded on the consolidated statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data are not available, judgement is required to establish fair values. The Company will look at the financial information provided by the investee, as well as comparative company information available to determine a fair value.

Accounting Judgments:

a) Determination of investment entity

Judgement is required when making the determination that the Company or its subsidiaries meet the definition of an investment entity under IFRS. In accordance with IFRS 10, an investment entity is an entity that: “obtains funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing them with investment management services, commits to its investors that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income or both, and measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis.”

BLACKAWK GROWTH CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

5. Critical accounting estimates and judgments (continued):

Accounting Judgments (continued):

b) Determination of investment entity (continued):

In addition, IFRS 10 clarifies that an investment entity may earn fee income from the provision of investment related services to external parties. In determining its status as an investment entity, the Company has determined that fair value is the primary measurement attribute used to monitor and evaluate its investments.

c) Going concern

The Company has experienced lower than planned revenue combined with operating losses. Management has assessed and concluded that the going concern assumption is appropriate for a period of at least twelve months following the end of the reporting period. Management applied significant judgement in arriving at this conclusion including the amount of new investments and total realized gain on investments to be generated to provide sufficient cash flow to continue to fund operations and other committed expenditures; the timing of generating those cash inflows and the timing of the related expenditures; the ability to raise additional capital to support ongoing operations; and the assessment of potentially discretionary expenditures that could be delayed in order to manage cash flows. Given the judgement involved, actual results may lead to a materially different outcome.

6. Adopted and future accounting standards:

11. Risk Management (continued):

Financial instruments risks (continued):

a) Credit risk (continued):

Cash and cash equivalents, when outstanding, consist of cash bank balances and short-term deposits maturing in 90 days or less. The Company manages the credit exposure related to short term investments by selecting counter parties based on credit ratings and monitors all investments to ensure a stable return. The maximum credit risk exposure associated with the Company’s financial assets is the carrying value.

At June 30, 2021, the Company’s trade and other receivables of $175,012 (2020 - $45,269) consisted of $118,324 (2020 - $13,448) due from the government in relation to GST returns, and $56,688 (2020 - $31,821) of interest receivable on short term loans.

The Company’s receivables are normally collected within a 60–90 day period. Management believes that the credit risk with respect to trade and other receivables is minimal.

After initial recognition, trade and other receivables are allocated to one of three stages of the expected credit loss model to determine the expected credit loss (“ECL”) as follows:

  • Stage 1: Credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition

  • Stage 2: Credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition

  • Stage 3: There is objective evidence of impairment as at the reporting date

As at June 30, 2021, the Company assessed its trade and other receivables for impairment. During the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful amounts of $Nil (2020 - $51,945) related to its trade receivables.

The Company manages its credit risk on equity investments through thoughtful planning, significant due diligence of investment opportunities and by conducting activities in accordance with the investment policies that are approved by the Board of Directors. Management reviews the financial conditions of its investee companies regularly.

b) Liquidity risk:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they are due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the Company’s reputation.

b) Liquidity risk (continued):

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities as at June 30, 2021:

Financial Liabilities < One Year > One Year
Trade and otherpayables $ 60,280 $
Total $ 60,280 $
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities as at June 30, 2020:
Financial Liabilities < One Year > One Year
Trade and otherpayables $ 429,145 $
Total $ 429,145 $

c) Market risk:

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company’s financial instruments will significantly fluctuate due to changes in market prices. The value of the financial instruments can be affected by changes in equity and commodity prices. The Company is exposed to market risk in trading its investments and unfavorable market conditions could result in dispositions of investments at less than favorable prices.

Additionally, the Company is required to fair value its equity investments at the end of each reporting period. This process could result in significant write-downs of the Company’s investments over one or more reporting periods, particularly during periods of overall market instability, which would have a significant unfavorable effect on the Company’s financial position. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s loss due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of stock market on traded investments. The Company has a concentration of equity price risk due to one of its investments being worth a significant amount of its portfolio. The Company sets thresholds on purchases of investments over which approval of the Board of Directors is required. During periods of significant broader market volatility or volatility experienced by the resource or commodity markets, the value of the Company’s investment portfolio can be quite vulnerable to market fluctuations. At June 30, 2021, a 5% change in the closing trade price of the Company’s equity investments would result in approximately $80,000 (2020 - $37,500) change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments.
