INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of CBD Global Sciences Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of CBD Global Sciences 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 (deficiency) and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying 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.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit 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 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 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
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements, which describes events and conditions that indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the 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 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 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 Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, 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 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.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the 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 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 Steven Reichert.

CBD Global Sciences Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in United States dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
CBD Global Sciences Inc. (the “Company” or “CBD Global”) is in the business of producing and selling industrial hemp derived cannabidiol (“CBD”) infused consumable and topical products. The Company’s head office, principal address and records office is located at 225 Union Boulevard, Suite 350, Lakewood, Colorado, 80228. The registered office in Nevada is located at 1085 Pleasure Lane, Henderson, Nevada, 89002 and 2754 Rockbridge Dr., Highlands Ranch, CO 80126 for Colorado.
Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2020, two of the Company’s subsidiaries, Global NV Corp. (“Global NV”) and Strasburg Pharms, LLC, filed for protection under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code as a result of claims filed against Global NV by a former landlord during the year ended December 31, 2020 (Note 25). Prior to filing for bankruptcy, the Company’s position was to defend these claims; however the landlord became an aggressive creditor. As at December 31, 2020, the balance of lease liabilities includes the amounts claimed by the landlord pursuant to a terminated lease agreement (Note 14). In connection with the bankruptcy, a trustee has been appointed on behalf of the Company to liquidate assets and discharge the outstanding liabilities of Global NV and Strasburg Pharms LLC. This liquidation process is ongoing. The bankruptcy process will potentially allow the Company to implement operational and commercial plans to reposition the Company for future growth.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. To date, the Company has incurred losses and will incur further losses in the development of its business. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,240,196 and an accumulated deficit of $21,167,752.
These factors, including the Company’s financial position, liquidity and the uncertain outcome of the matters arising from the bankruptcy proceedings, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue its operations and to realize assets at their carrying values is dependent upon its ability to raise financing and generate profits and positive cash flows from operations in order to cover its operating costs. From time to time, the Company generates working capital to fund its operations by raising additional capital through equity or debt financing. However, there is no assurance it will be able to continue to do so in the future. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The outbreak of the coronavirus, also known as "COVID-19", has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. Conditions surrounding the coronavirus continue to evolve and government authorities have implemented emergency measures to mitigate the spread of the virus. The outbreak and the related mitigation measures may have an adverse impact on global economic conditions as well as on the Company’s business activities. The extent to which the coronavirus may impact the Company’s business activities will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in Canada and other countries to contain and treat the disease. These events are highly uncertain and as such, the Company cannot determine their financial impact at this time.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- a) Basis of presentation and measurement, functional currency and basis of consolidation
These 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”) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)
- a) Basis of presentation and measurement, functional currency and basis of consolidation (continued)
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted, which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.
These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries are included in these consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company’s subsidiaries are:
| Name of subsidiary | Place of incorporation |
Proportion of ownership |
Principal activity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strasburg Pharms, LLC | CO | 100% | Farming operations |
| Global NV Corp. | CO | 100% | CBD oil product sales |
| CannaOil, Inc. | CO | 100% | CBD oil product sales |
| SMBT, LLC | CO | 100% | CBD oil product sales |
| Global Sciences IP,LLC | Nevada | 100% | Intellectualproperty |
Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2020, Global NV Corp. and Strasburg Pharms, LLC filed for protection under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code (Note 25).
Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incorporated the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: Global Sciences Holdings Inc., Dog Unleashed CBD, LLC, Legacy Distribution Group LLC, and Energy Unleashed LLC.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of estimated returns and discounts. The Company considers the terms of the sales contracts as well as industry practices, taking into consideration the type of customer, the nature of the transaction and the specific circumstances of each arrangement.
The Company’s revenue is comprised of sales of Cannabidiol products including hemp biomass, oil and oil products. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when control of the goods has been transferred to the customer under the terms of an enforceable contract. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and transfers control to the customer upon shipment. Anticipated product returns are provided for at the time of sale. Billings rendered in advance of performance under contracts are recorded as deferred revenue.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Biological assets
The Company’s biological assets consist of hemp plants and are valued using the income approach. Production costs are capitalized to biological assets and include all direct and indirect costs relating to biological transformation. While the Company’s biological assets are within scope of IAS 41, Agriculture , the direct and indirect costs of biological assets are determined using an approach similar to the capitalization criteria outlined in IAS 2, Inventories . They include direct cost of seeds and growing materials, and indirect costs such as utilities, supplies and equipment rentals used in the growing and harvesting process. Direct labor costs include harvesting, planting and propagation. Indirect labor relates to quality control processes. All production costs are capitalized as they are incurred and subsequently recorded within cost of goods sold on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss in the period that the related product is sold.
The Company measures biological assets at fair value less cost to sell up to the point of harvest, which becomes the basis for the cost of biomass inventories after harvest. Net unrealized gains or losses arising from the changes in fair value less cost to sell during the period are included in the results of operations for the related period.
Inventory
Inventories of biomass are initially valued at cost or deemed cost and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value on the consolidated statements of financial position. Inventories of harvested hemp biomass and hemp flower are transferred from biological assets at their fair value less costs to sell at harvest which becomes the deemed cost. Any subsequent post-harvest production costs or cost of conversion to CBD Oil and CBD oil products are capitalized to inventory to the extent that the cost is less than net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Cost is determined using the average cost basis. Products for resale and supplies and consumables are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value.
The Company reviews inventory for obsolete, redundant and slow-moving goods and any such inventory are written-down to net realizable value.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The Company provides for depreciation using the following methods at rates designed to depreciate the cost of the equipment over their period of expected useful life. No depreciation is recorded in the year of disposal or on assets under construction. The estimated useful lives of assets are reviewed by management and adjusted if necessary. The annual depreciation rates and methods are as follows:
| Asset | Rate | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment | 30% | Declining balance |
| Greenhouses | 15 years | Straight-line |
| Leasehold improvements | 5 years | Straight-line |
| Machinery | 5 years | Straight-line |
| Over the remaining | ||
| Leased right-of-use asset | term at recognition | Straight-line |

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Property and equipment (continued)
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset or construction required to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Company. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s 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 can be measured reliably.
The carrying amount of a replaced asset is derecognized when replaced. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to profit or loss during the period they are incurred.
Financial instruments
Recognition, classification and measurement
Financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. IFRS 9, Financial Instruments contains three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) and fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”). Financial assets are recognized in the statements of financial position if the Company has a contractual right to receive cash or other financial assets from another entity. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or were transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.
Financial instruments are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
The Company has classified its trade and other receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities, due to related parties, notes payable, convertible debt and long-term debt as financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost. Such assets and liabilities are recognized initially at fair value inclusive of any directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. The Company has classified its cash as a financial asset measured at fair value through profit and loss. Derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that do not meet hedge accounting criteria are classified as FVTPL.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the consolidated statements of financial position when, and only when, the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Financial instruments (continued)
Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. Loss allowances for accounts receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses if the amount is not considered fully recoverable. A financial asset carried at amortized cost is considered credit-impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably. Individually significant financial assets are tested for credit-impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.
In assessing collective impairment, the Company uses historical trends of the probability of default, timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends.
Losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
Share capital
Instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company’s shares, stock options and warrants are classified as equity instruments. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new equity instruments are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. In the event that the financing is not completed, these costs are expensed to profit or loss.
The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The fair value of the warrants issued is first measured using the BlackScholes Option Pricing Model and then the residual value of the proceeds is allocated to the shares.
In situations where share capital is issued, or received, as non-monetary consideration and the fair value of the asset or services received, or given up is not readily determinable, the fair market value of the shares is used to record the transaction. The fair market value of the shares issued, or received, is based on the trading price of those shares on the appropriate security exchange on the date of the agreement to issue shares.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Share-based payments
Where equity-settled compensation arrangements are awarded to employees, the fair value of the equity instruments at the date of grant is charged to profit or loss over the vesting period. Where equity instruments are awarded to employees, the fair value of the benefit (fair value of the equity instrument less consideration received) at the date of grant is charged to profit or loss over the vesting period. Performance vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each reporting date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognized over the vesting period is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. Non-vesting conditions and market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the equity instruments granted. As long as all other vesting conditions are satisfied, a charge is made irrespective of whether these vesting conditions are satisfied. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition or where a non-vesting condition is not satisfied.
Where the terms and conditions of the equity instruments are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the equity instruments, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss over the remaining vesting period.
When equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods and services received, unless the fair value of the goods and services received cannot be reasonably measured, in which case they are measured using the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Expenses are recorded in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Amounts related to the cost of issuing shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital.
When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based compensation cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.
All equity-settled share-based compensation are reflected in reserves, until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in reserves is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid.
Where a grant of equity-settled share-based compensation is cancelled or settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and recognizes the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest except to the extent the payment exceeds the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess is recognized as an expense.
Loss per share
Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding options and warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire shares at the average market price during the reporting periods.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Income taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive loss or directly in equity. In this case the income tax is also recognized in other comprehensive loss or directly in equity, respectively.
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date, in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.
Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences at the reporting date arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purposes.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the temporary differences to be utilized. Deferred 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 and are expected to apply by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exist to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Leases
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to use an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease agreements in which it is the lessee, except for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments and expected payments at the end of the lease, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease. If the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability using the effective interest method and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Leases (continued)
The right-of-use asset is measured at a cost that includes the lease liability, adjusted for any initial direct costs; prepaid lease payments; estimated costs to dismantle, remove or restore; and lease incentives received. The right-of use asset is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The Company re-measures the lease liability and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-ofuse asset whenever the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is re-measured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.
Under IFRS 16, the Company is required to assess the classification of a sublease with reference to the rightof-use asset, not the underlying asset. The Company does not have any subleases.
Government assistance
Government assistance is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company has met the requirements of the approved grant or loan program and the Company is reasonably certain based on management’s judgment that the government grant will be received or the loan will be forgiven.
4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These consolidated financial statements include estimates that, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences.
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the financial position reporting date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, related to, but are not limited to, the following:
Useful life of property and equipment
Property and equipment is depreciated over its estimated useful life. Estimated useful lives are determined based on current facts and past experience and take into consideration the anticipated physical life of the asset, the potential for technological obsolescence and regulations.
Incremental borrowing rate
Under IFRS 16, the Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease and, if so, recognizes a lease liability by discounting the future lease payments over the non-cancelable term of the lease, using the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate. Differences in the estimated incremental borrowing rate could result in materially different lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (Continued)
Biological assets
The Company measures biological assets consisting of hemp biomass at fair value less cost to sell up to the point of harvest, which becomes the basis for the cost of finished goods inventories after harvest. The transfer of the fair value of biological assets to inventory may increase or decrease the deemed cost of ending inventory. In calculating the fair value of biological assets, management is required to make a number of estimates including wastage, expected yields, selling price and costs to sell at the point of harvest, and percentage of costs incurred for each stage of plant growth (Note 9).
Inventory
In calculating final inventory values, management is required to determine an estimate of spoiled or expired inventory and compares the inventory cost to estimated net realizable value. The valuation of cannabidiol oil and products also requires the estimate of conversion costs incurred, which become part of the carrying amount for the inventory. The Company must determine if the cost of any inventory exceeds its net realizable value, such as cases where prices have decreased or inventory has spoiled or has otherwise been damaged.
Carrying value and recoverability of property and equipment
The Company has determined that property and equipment that are capitalized may have future economic benefits and may be economically recoverable. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions and useful lives of the assets.
Judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:
Going concern
The Company’s ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements requires significant judgment (Note 1). Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, such as expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Determining non-cancellable lease term
The non-cancellable lease term depends on the terms of the lease agreement and management’s plans for the leased asset in question. The management must evaluate whether or not the Company shall exercise renewal options, the result of which could extend the non-cancellable term of the lease. Extending the lease term can have a material impact on the recorded value of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.
5. BASIS OF FAIR VALUE
Financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are grouped in levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
-
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within 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 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
9
CBD Global Sciences Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in United States dollars)
5. BASIS OF FAIR VALUE (Continued)
The Company uses judgment to select the methods used to make certain assumptions and in performing the fair value calculations in order to determine (a) the values attributed to each component of a transaction at the time of their issuance; (b) the fair value measurements for certain instruments that require subsequent measurement at fair value on a recurring basis; and (c) for disclosing the fair value of financial instruments subsequently carried at amortized cost. These valuation estimates could be significantly different because of the use of judgment and the inherent uncertainty in estimating the fair value of these instruments that are not quoted in an active market.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, trade and other receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities, due to related parties, notes payable, convertible debt, lease liabilities, derivate liability and long-term debt. With the exception of convertible debt, lease liabilities and notes payable, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of convertible debt and notes payable approximate their carrying value, excluding discounts, due to minimal changes in interest rates and the Company’s credit risk since issuance of the instruments. Cash is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using level 1 inputs. Derivative liability is measured at fair value at each reporting period end using level 2 inputs.
6. REVERSE TAKEOVER
On October 17, 2019, CBD Global completed a merger agreement with Global NV for a three-cornered merger transaction which constituted a reverse take-over (“RTO”) of the Company by Global NV (the “Acquisition”). Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Global NV amalgamated with a wholly owned subsidiary of CBD Global, pursuant to a statutory procedure of the Nevada Revised Statutes, and in connection with such merger each holder of Global NV’s shares received 1.31987 common shares and 0.036801 preferred shares of CBD Global (the “CBD Global Unit”) in exchange for each Global NV’s common share held.
At the time of the RTO, the Company did not constitute a business as defined under IFRS 3, Business Combinations ; therefore, the RTO has been accounted for under IFRS 2, Share-based Payment , where the difference between the consideration given to acquire the Company and the net asset value of the Company is recorded as a listing expense to net loss.
As a result of the Acquisition, Global NV is deemed the acquirer for accounting purposes and therefore its assets, liabilities and operations are included in the consolidated financial statements at their historical carrying value. Global NV’s operations were considered to be a continuance of the business and operations of Global NV. The Company’s results of operations are those of Global NV, with CBD Global’s operations included from October 17, 2019, the closing date of the Acquisition, onwards. These consolidated financial statements present the historical financial information of Global NV up to the date of the RTO.
The fair value of the consideration issued for the net assets of the Company is as follows:
| Consideration: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Fair value of shares issued (2,500,000 shares) | $ | 2,367,657 |
| Settlement of debt | (30,328) | |
| Total consideration | 2,337,329 | |
| Fair value of net assets of the Company: | ||
| Prepaid expenses | 3,906 | |
| Accounts payable | (77,373) | |
| Total net assets | (73,467) | |
| Listing expense | $ | 2,410,796 |

Brokered convertible debentures
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company closed brokered private placements of convertible debt (the “Debentures”) issuing $3,600,000 in Debentures.

-
Increased the principal amount of the convertible debt by 2.5%;
-
Extended the maturity date of the convertible debt from October 2, 2019 to October 2, 2020;
-
Modified the conversion terms of the convertible notes so that on conversion, the holder will receive CBD Global common shares rather than common shares of Global NV;
-
Modified the exercise terms of warrants to provide that upon exercise, the holder will receive CBD Global common shares rather than common shares of Global NV; and
-
Modified the conversion terms of the convertible debt and exercise terms of the warrants to prohibit the conversion of the debt or exercise of the warrants if the conversion or exercise, as the case may be, would result in CBD Global no longer qualifying as a foreign private issuer.
In consideration for the modification, the Company incurred a fee of 2% of the principal amount of the convertible debt of $65,500.
Of the outstanding convertible debt of $3,425,000, convertible notes in the principal amount of $3,275,000 were modified, and the remaining $150,000 were not modified.
The modification resulted in a change in cashflows of greater than 10% resulting in the extinguishment of the original debt and as such the Company recorded a loss on modification of $81,875. Upon the modification of the loans, the residual value assigned to equity of $200,894 was allocated to capital reserves.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, $175,000 of convertible debt was converted into 230,977 common shares. On the conversion date, the carrying value of the converted portion was $187,696 which was allocated to share capital.

15. CONVERTIBLE DEBT (Continued)
Brokered convertible debentures – Second modification (continued)
As the conversion price of the convertible debenture is subject to change in the event that the Company completes a private placement of equity at a price less than $0.70, it does not meet the fixed for fixed criteria and is classified as a derivative liability. The estimated fair value of the derivative liability as at October 31, 2020 was $159,864 using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: exercise price of $0.70; share price of $0.18; an annualized volatility of 125%; a forfeiture rate of 0%, an expected life of 1.0 year; a dividend yield of 0%; and a risk-free rate of 0.24%.
The derivative liability is remeasured at fair value through profit and loss at each reporting period end using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The estimated fair value of the derivative liability as at December 31, 2020 was $154,160 using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: exercise price of $0.70; share price of $0.21; an annualized volatility of 120%; a forfeiture rate of 0%, an expected life of 0.8 years; a dividend yield of 0%; and a risk-free rate of 0.20%. The Company recorded an unrealized gain related to the fair value of the derivative liability in the amount of $5,704 during the year ended December 31, 2020.
The expiry date of 7,633,764 warrants with an exercise price of $0.20 were extended to October 2, 2022. The incremental increase in the fair value of the warrants in the amount of $239,232 was included in the loss on debt extinguishment with a corresponding increase to capital reserves during the year ended December 31, 2020.
The Company is required to issue 1,916,690 additional warrants with an estimated fair value of $187,868 using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: exercise price of $0.14; share price of $0.18; an annualized volatility of 125%; a forfeiture rate of 0%, an expected life of 1.0 year; a dividend yield of 0%; and a risk-free rate of 0.24%. The fair value of the warrants to be issued was included in the loss on debt extinguishment with a corresponding increase to capital reserves during the year ended December 31, 2020. As at December 31, 2020, the warrants had not been issued.
The loss on debt extinguishment recorded in the amount of $216,841 includes the fair value of warrants modified ($239,232) and additional warrants issued ($187,868), less the difference between the carrying value of the debt and deemed reissued debt ($210,259).
During the year ended December 31, 2020, convertible debt with a principal balance of $33,953 and carrying value of $25,628 was converted into 248,508 common shares (Note 16).

15. CONVERTIBLE DEBT (Continued)
Other convertible debt (continued)

The principal is convertible into units of the Company at $0.25 per unit and will automatically convert on the maturity date. Each unit consists of 0.5 common share and 0.005 preferred share of the Company. Accrued interest is payable quarterly, and at the option of the Company payable in common shares on the maturity date. As the convertible note converts automatically at the end of the term, the convertible debt of $50,000 and accrued interest of $2,334 have been classified as an equity instrument.
16. SHARE CAPITAL
a. Authorized capital
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares and preferred shares without par value.
Common share holders are entitled to one vote at each meeting of the shareholders of the Company.
Preferred share holders are entitled to one vote at each meeting of the shareholders of the Company in respect of each common share into which such preferred share could ultimately then be converted. In connection with the exercise of the voting rights relating to any proposed alteration of rights, each preferred share holder has one vote in respect of each preferred share held. Each preferred share is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable common shares as is determined by multiplying the number of preferred shares by the conversion ratio applicable to such share in effect on the date the preferred share is surrendered for conversion. The conversion ratio for preferred shares is 100 common shares for each preferred share, subject to adjustment in certain events. To maintain its status as a foreign private issuer, the Company shall not affect any conversion of preferred shares and preferred share holders may not convert to the extent that the aggregate number of common shares and preferred shares held of record, directly or indirectly, by US Residents would exceed 40% of the aggregate number of common shares and preferred shares issued and outstanding after giving effect to such conversions. The Company may require preferred share holders to convert all the preferred shares at the applicable conversion ratio if the Company is subject to certain regulatory and reporting requirements that require the Company to do so.

23. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern to support its business plan, as well as to ensure that the Company is able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The capital structure consists of notes payable and owners’ equity comprising of owners’ capital, capital reserve and retained earnings.
The basis for the Company’s capital structure is dependent on the Company’s expected business growth and changes in business environment. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through private placement, incur debt or return capital to shareholders.
The Company does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain the future development of the business. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach is reasonable.
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2020.

24. RISK MANAGEMENT AND LIQUIDITY (Continued)
a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as foreign currency exchange, interest rates and equity price risk.
(i) Foreign currency risk:
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar and major purchases are transacted in United States dollars. As a result, the Company’s exposure to the foreign currency risk is minimal.
(ii) Interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The interest earned on cash is insignificant and the Company does not rely on interest income to fund its operations. The Company has significant debt facilities, including convertible debt and promissory notes payable. As the debt facilities are incurring a fixed rate of interest, the Company is not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.
(iii) Other price risk:
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company does not hold equity investments in other entities and therefore is not exposed to a significant risk.
b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
The Company is subject to credit risk on its cash and accounts receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss on cash by placing its cash with a high-quality financial institution. The Company has concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable as large amounts of its accounts receivable are concentrated amongst a small number of customers. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable.
c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the Company’s general and capital financing needs. The Company continuously monitors and reviews both actual and forecasted cash flows, and also matches the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities, when feasible.
Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2020, two of the Company’s subsidiaries, Global NV and Strasburg Pharms, LLC, filed for protection under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code as a result of claims against Global NV by a former landlord (Note 25).
