INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Shareholders of CubicFarm Systems Corp.,

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of CubicFarm Systems Corp. (the Company), which comprise:

  • the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2020;
  • the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the six month period then ended;
  • the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the six month period then ended;
  • the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six month period then ended; $\blacksquare$
  • and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies

(Hereinafter referred to as the "financial statements").

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the six month period then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

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 "Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements" section of our auditors' 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

We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial statements, which indicates that for the six months period ended December 31, 2020 the Company has generated a net loss and as at December 31, 2020 had an accumulated deficit.

As stated in Note 2 in the financial statements, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2 in the financial statements, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter

Other Matter - Comparative Information

The financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2020 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial statements on October 28, 2020.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. Other information comprises:

  • the information included in Management's Discussion and Analysis filed with the relevant Canadian Securities Commissions.
  • The information, other than the financial statements and the auditors' report thereon, included in the Annual Information Form filed with the relevant Canadian Securities Commissions.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will 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 and remain alert for indications that the other information appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained the information included in Management's Discussion and Analysis and the Annual Information Form filed with the relevant Canadian Securities Commissions as at the date of this auditors' report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in the auditors' report.

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.

Auditors' 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 auditors' report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 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 the financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgement 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 auditors' 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 auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the $\ddot{\phantom{1}}$ disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair representation.
  • 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.
  • Provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or $\blacksquare$ business activities within the group Entity to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion

$1.$ Reporting entity

CubicFarm Systems Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on October 8, 2015. The Company is domiciled in Canada and its principal address is 19951 80A Avenue, Unit 353, Langley, BC. V2Y 0E2.

The Company listed its common shares on the TSXV as a Tier 1 issuer in July 2019. The Company's common shares trade on the TSXV in Canada under the symbol "CUB".

The Company is an agriculture technology and vertical farming company that develops, employs, and sells modular growing systems with patented and patent-pending technologies (the "System") to provide high-quality, predictable crop yields for farms around the world. In addition, the Company leverages its technology by operating its own facility in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia. On January 1, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Hydrogreen Inc., (formerly named CubicFeed Systems U.S. Corp.), see Note 6, a manufacturer of fully automated hydroponic growing systems that produce live, green animal feed prioritizing animal health and performance.

The outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as "COVID-19", has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown currently, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has not observed any material impairments of its assets or a significant change in the fair value of assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the rapid developments and uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 it is not possible to predict the impact it will have on the Company's business, financial position, and operating results in the future. It is possible that estimates in the Company's financial statements will change in the near term as a result of COVID-19 and the affect of any such changes could be material, which could result in, among other things, impairment of long-lived assets including intangibles and goodwill. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of its business.

$2.$ Going concern

To date, the Company has financed its operations primarily through share issuances. The development of modular growing systems and animal feed system as well as its production process involve significant financial risks, including the ability of the Company to develop and penetrate new markets, obtain additional financing as required, achieve profitable production and the ability for the Company to be able to successfully assert its intellectual property rights and protect against patent infringement.

The Company incurred a total comprehensive loss of \$10,172,063 for the year ended December 31, 2020 (Year ended June 30, 2020 - \$10,110,752) and has accumulated a deficit of \$30,195,336 at December 31, 2020. As at December 31, 2020, the company has working capital of \$15,244,610 compared with \$6,334,754 as at June 30, 2020.

The losses and deficits indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability as a going concern. Despite the material uncertainty, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, as management believes that the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital to meet its obligations as and when they come due. The going concern basis of accounting assumes that the Company will be able to meet its commitments, continue operations and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments or disclosures that may result. If the going concern assumptions were not found to be appropriate for these consolidated financial instruments, adjustments might be necessary in the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the statement of consolidated financial position classifications and the reported expenses. Such adjustment could be material.

3. Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS).

The Board of Directors approved these consolidated financial statements on April 30, 2021.

Prior period reclassification

Certain prior period amounts on the Consolidated Statements of Loss and Comprehensive Loss have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern and historical cost basis except as permitted by IFRS and as otherwise indicated within these notes.

Change in year-end

During the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company changed its financial year-end to December 31, from June 30 in order to align the financial year-ends of the Company and all its subsidiaries, as well as with its peers. The Company's transition period is the six months ended December 31, 2020 with the comparative period being the twelve months ended June 30, 2020.

Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries with intercompany balances and transactions eliminated upon consolidation. The principal subsidiaries of the Company and associates to which it is a party were as follows at December 31, 2020.

4. Significant accounting policies

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash held at financial institutions and highly liquid investments with the ability to be converted into cash within 90 days or less of their acquisition date.

Contract assets

Contract assets primarily relate to the Company's rights to consideration for goods or services provided but not billed at the reporting date. Contract assets are transferred to Trade receivables when the rights become unconditional. This usually occurs when the Company issues an invoice to the customer.

Inventory

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined by the weighted average method. Cost comprises all costs of purchases, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost of completion and selling costs.

Business combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Company. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for the acquisition of the subsidiaries over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Following initial recognition, goodwill is recognized at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Any gain on bargain purchase is recognized immediately in the profit or loss. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issuance of debt or equity securities. The consideration transferred does not include amounts relating to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognized in profit or loss. Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured, and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, other contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the profit or loss.

Business combinations require judgement and estimates to be made at the date of acquisition in relation to determining assets and liabilities fair values and the allocation of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets and liabilities and the determination of a bargain purchase gain on acquisition, if any. The information necessary to measure the fair values as at the acquisition date of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to make certain judgements and estimates about future events, including but not limited to estimates of future earnings, future operating costs and capital expenditures, and discount rates. Changes to the provisional measurements of assets and liabilities acquired may be retrospectively adjusted when new information is obtained until the final measurements are determined.

Property, plant, and equipment

Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. All assets having limited useful lives are depreciated using either the declining balance method or the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Internally constructed assets are depreciated from the time an asset is available for use.

The methods of depreciation and depreciation rates applicable to each class of asset during the current and comparative period are as follows:

Method Rate
Production equipment (containers) Straight line 10 years
Other production equipment (non-containers) Straight line 3 years
Other equipment Declining balance 15%
Leasehold improvements Straight line 5 years
Furniture and fixtures Declining balance 20%
Computer equipment Declining balance 30%

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment losses. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Amortization of definite life intangible assets is calculated on a straight-line or per unit basis, as per the following:

Patents - 13 to 16 years

Development costs - 500 units

Intellectual property - 1,000 units

The estimated useful lives, residual values and amortization methods are reviewed annually and any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. Intangible assets with an indefinite life or not yet available for use are not subject to amortization.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash generating unit's ("CGUs") fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.

A CGU is defined under IAS36 as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other groups of assets. The Company generates cash inflows under two CGUs: Canada (Fresh) and U.S.A. (Feed).

The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or CGU is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Loss and Comprehensive Loss.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.

The Company bases its impairment calculation on most recent budgets and forecasts, which are prepared separately for each of the Company's CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated.

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset's or CGUs recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Loss and Comprehensive Loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill are not reversible.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually, as appropriate, and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

Leases

The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases (with terms of less than 12 months) and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying asset and lease liabilities representing its obligation to make lease payments.

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of rightof-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant, and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease liability is subsequently increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made.

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option), as well as any assets that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Revenue from contracts with customers

IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers provides a single model that applies to contracts with customers and two approaches to recognizing revenue: at a point in time or over time. This model features a contract based five step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognized, as shown below:

  • (i) Identify the contract(s) with the customer
  • (ii) Identify the performance obligations in the contract(s)
  • (iii) Determine the transaction price
  • (iv) Allocate the transaction price to the identified performance obligations
  • (v) Recognize revenue when the identified performance obligations are satisfied

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of goods when it transfers the risks and control to the customer, which generally occurs upon delivery or transfer of title. Revenue from services is recognized when the related service is provided, and proper completion sign off is obtained from the customer. The Company recognizes license and subscription over the period covered by the license or subscription.

Revenue for bill and hold arrangements is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied, which is upon the transfer of risk and control of the contracted product. The company employs bill and hold arrangements for some of the customers where the customer is billed for the product, that are ready for delivery, but the company does not ship the product to the customer until a later date - control typically transfers when the product is ready for physical transfer to the customer, and the Company has satisfied the performance obligation. In these sales transactions, the Company fulfils its obligations and bills the customer for the work performed but does not ship the goods until a later date. These transactions are designed this way at the request of the customer and are typically due to the customer's lack of available storage space for the product, or due to delays in the customer's construction schedules.

Customer deposits

Customer deposits consist of funds paid by customers for systems based on the sales agreement. The customer may cancel the order prior to shipping of the equipment, subject to the following restocking fees. If the customer cancels the order before the manufacturing of the equipment has commenced, the customer shall pay a restocking fee of 10% of the purchase price. If the customer cancels the order thereafter but prior to shipping of the equipment, the customer shall pay a restocking fee of 20% of the purchase price. The order shall not be cancellable after shipping of the equipment. These are accounted as current liabilities in the Statements of Financial Position.

Income tax & deferred tax

Taxation on the profit or loss for the year comprises of current and deferred tax. Taxation is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax arises from a transaction or even which is recognized either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, or a business combination.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year using rates enacted or substantially enacted at the year end and includes any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of goodwill or on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit.

Where an asset has no deductible or depreciable amount for income tax purposes but has a deductible amount on sale or abandonment for capital gains purposes, the amount is included in the determination of temporary differences.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided they are enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilized against future taxable income. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each statement of financial position and adjusted to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Any changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as part of tax expense or income in profit or loss, except where thev relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) or directly in equity in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) or equity, respectively.

Foreign currency translation

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries except for CubicFarm Systems U.S. Corp and Hydrogreen Inc. for which it is the US dollar. All financial information presented in Canadian dollars has been rounded to the nearest dollar.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates in effect on the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Canadian Dollars at the foreign exchange rate applicable at each reporting period. Realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Loss and Comprehensive Loss.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of transaction. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.

Foreign exchange gains or losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future and which in substance is considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation, are recognized in other comprehensive income in the translation reserve. Also, conversion of the foreign subsidiary into Canadian dollars is recognized in other comprehensive income in the translation reserve.

Share based compensation

The Company operates an employee stock option plan. Share based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the relevant vesting periods. Share based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The fair value of options is determined using a Black Scholes option pricing model. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

Financial instruments

Financial assets

The Company uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is classified and measured at amortized cost or at fair value. The classification and measurement of financial assets is based on the Company's business models for managing its financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest ("SPPI"). Financial assets are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at either (i) amortized cost; (ii) fair value through other comprehensive income, or (iii) at fair value through profit and loss.

(i) Amortized cost:

Financial assets classified and measured at amortized cost are those assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are SPPI. Financial assets classified at amortized cost are measured using the effective interest method.

(ii) Fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI"):

Financial assets classified and measured at FVTOCI are those assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are SPPI. The classification includes certain equity instruments where an irrevocable election was made to classify the equity instruments as FVTOCI. Equity investments require a designation, on an instrumentby-instrument basis, between recording both unrealized and realized gains and losses either through (i) other comprehensive income ("OCI") with no recycling to profit and loss or (ii) profit and loss.

(iii) Fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"):

Financial assets classified and measured at FVTPL are those assets that do not meet the criteria to be classified at amortized cost or at FVTOCI. This category includes debt instruments whose cash flow characteristics are not SPPI or are not held within a business model whose objective is either to collect contractual cash flows and sell the financial asset, and equity instruments not classified at FVTOCI.

Financial liabilities

Loans are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Loans are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Loans are derecognized from the consolidated statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled, or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss as finance costs. Loans are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Financial liabilities also include derivative financial instruments that are entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments as defined by IFRS 9. Embedded derivatives are classified as held for trading and any gains and losses are recognized through the Consolidated Statements of Loss and Comprehensive Loss.

$\boldsymbol{4}$ . Significant accounting policies (continued)

An embedded derivative is separated from its host contract and accounted for separately as a stand-alone derivative if:

  • The economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic $(i)$ characteristics and risks of the host;
  • $(ii)$ A separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of the derivative; and
  • $(iii)$ The hybrid contract is not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

The Business Development Bank ("BDC") loan contains a prepayment option and variable loan bonus that is based on consolidated enterprise value. The Company determined the embedded derivative should be accounted separate from the host contract and is measured at fair value through profit and loss. The fair value of the embedded derivative as at December 31, 2020 was \$1,002,129. The residual amount is recognized as a financial liability and subsequently measured at amortized cost.

Impairment of financial assets

The company recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses ("ECLs") for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contact and all the cash flows that the company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

The Company considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 120 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Company may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before considering any credit enhancements held by the company. A financial asset is fully impaired when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

The Company recognizes expected credit losses for trade receivables based on the simplified approach under IFRS 9. The simplified approach to the recognition of expected losses does not require the Company to track the changes in credit risk; rather, the Company recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date from the date of the trade receivable.

Evidence of impairment may include indications that a debtor or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinguency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Trade receivables are reviewed qualitatively on a case-by-case basis to determine whether they need to be impaired.

Finance and investment income (expense) and interest expense

Finance income comprises of interest and other income on funds invested. Interest income is recognized as it accrues in the Consolidated Statements of Loss and Comprehensive Loss, using the effective interest method.

Interest Expense includes interest payments (cash) on borrowings and the accretion expenses (non-cash) on debt and leases. Borrowing costs are recognized in Consolidated Statements of Loss and Comprehensive Loss using the effective interest method.

$\boldsymbol{4}$ . Significant accounting policies (continued)

Loss per share

The Company calculates basic loss per share by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. It calculates diluted loss per share in a similar manner to include common shares potentially issuable from the assumed exercise of stock options and other instruments, if dilutive. In the Company's case, these potential issuances are "anti-dilutive" as they would decrease the loss per share; consequently, the amounts calculated for basic and diluted loss per share are the same.

Related party transactions

Parties are related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control; related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

Government grants

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. The Company accounts for government grants when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with any conditions attached to the grant and the grant will be received. The grant is recognized as income over the period necessary to match them with the related costs, for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Non-monetary grants, such as land or other resources, are usually accounted for at fair value. A grant receivable as compensation for costs already incurred or for immediate financial support, with no future related costs, is recognized as income in the period in which it is receivable. A grant relating to assets is reported by deducting grant from the asset's carrying amount. A grant relating to income is separately reported as 'other income' or deducted from the related expense. If a grant becomes repayable, it will be treated as a change in estimate. Where the original grant relates to income, its repayment will be applied first against any related unamortized deferred credit, and any excess is dealt with as an expense. Where the original grant relates to an asset, its repayment will be treated as increasing the carrying amount of the asset or reducing the deferred income balance. The cumulative depreciation which would have been charged had the grant not been received is charged as an expense.

5. Significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments

In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following estimates, assumptions, and judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements:

Going concern

Determining if the Company has the ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to secure debt and equity financing and to achieve profitable operations. Certain judgments are made when determining if and when the Company will secure debt and equity financing, and achieve profitable operations.

Business combinations

In determining the allocation of the purchase price in a business combination, estimates including market based and appraisal values are used.

Useful lives of intangible assets

Amortization of finite life intangible assets is dependent upon estimates of useful lives which are determined through the exercise of judgment. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting year, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

5. Significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments (continued)

Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets

Determining whether an impairment has occurred requires the valuation of the respective CGUs, which management estimates using a discounted cash flow method. When available and as appropriate, management uses comparative market multiples to corroborate discounted cash flow results. In applying this methodology, management relies on a number of factors, including actual operating results, future business plans, discount rates, economic projections and market data.

Fair value of financial instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques such as the discounted cash flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models, such as discount rates and future cash flows, require a degree of judgment. Changes in assumptions relating to these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

Provision for expected credit losses

The valuation of allowances for uncollectable trade receivables requires assumptions including estimated credit losses based on the Company's knowledge of the financial conditions of its customers, historical experience, and general economic conditions. At each reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analyzed. The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecast economic conditions and expected credit losses is a significant estimate. The Company's historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of customer's actual default in the future.

Adoption of new accounting standards

Conceptual framework

In March 2018, the IASB issued the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting which assists entities in developing accounting policies when no IFRS Standard applies to a particular transaction and helps stakeholders to more fully understand the standards. The revised conceptual framework includes the following clarifications and updates: (i) a new chapter on measurement; (ii) guidance on reporting financial performance; (iii) improved definitions and guidance, particularly for the definition of a liability; and (iv) clarifications on important items such as the role of stewardship, prudence and measurement uncertainty in financial reporting. The revised conceptual framework is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and is applicable to the Company starting January 1, 2020. The adoption of this new standard did not have any impact on the amounts recognized in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Definition of material

In October 2018, the IASB issued Definition of Material (Amendments to IAS 1 and 8) to clarify the definition of 'material' and to align the definition used in the Conceptual Framework and the standards themselves. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and are applicable to the Company starting January 1, 2020. The adoption of this new standard did not have any impact on the amounts recognized in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Definition of a business

In October 2018, the IASB issued Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3) which: (i) clarifies that to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs; (ii) narrows the definition of a business and of outputs by focusing on goods and services provided to customers; and (iii) removes certain assessments and adds guidance and illustrative examples. The amendment is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and to asset acquisitions that occur on

5. Significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments (continued)

or after the beginning of that period. The adoption of this standard has not had a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

6. Business combination

On January 1, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hydrogreen Inc., ("HydroGreen") a private US based company and a manufacturer of fully automated hydroponic growing systems that produces live, green animal feed, prioritizing animal health and performance.

The acquisition of HydroGreen, enables the Company to expand in the automated controlled-environment-agriculture space. The combination of both CubicFarms and HydroGreen technologies allows the Company to address both fresh produce and animal feed markets and leverage the learning and assets of both companies.

The Company completed the acquisition of HydroGreen on January 1, 2020. The Acquisition was completed by way of a reverse triangular merger of CubicFeed Systems U.S. Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and HydroGreen, resulting in HydroGreen being renamed to "CubicFeed Systems U.S. Corp" and becoming an indirect and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The new CubicFarms subsidiary was subsequently re-named Hydrogreen Inc.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, holders of HydroGreen shares ("HydroGreen Shareholders") received 10,000,000 common shares of CubicFarms on the closing date, with a maximum of another 1,000,000 shares to be issued on the six-month anniversary of closing, subject to any set-off relating to indemnification (the "Consideration Shares").

The Company has determined that this transaction represented a business combination with CubicFarm Systems Corp. identified as the acquirer. The total consideration as of January 1, 2020 was estimated to be USD\$4,248,661 $(CAD$5,519,437)$

The Company began consolidating the operating results, cash flows and net assets of Hydrogreen Inc. from January 1, 2020 onwards. Acquisition-related costs of \$222,187 were expensed during the year ended June 30, 2020 and were presented as transaction costs.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid as part of the purchase price:

Total Consideration \$4,248,661 \$5,519,437

a) The acquisition provided for contingent consideration made up of earn-out payments which the Company recognized at the acquisition date at its fair value of USD\$1,075,914. The contingent consideration is based on conditional earn-out payments based on aggregate gross revenue of HydroGreen in the 5 years subsequent to closing date. The main assumption used in the determination of fair value is the assumed revenue growth rate of HydroGreen. The earn out payment is based on revenue exceeding certain limits with a period of five years:

Fair value of net assets acquired \$4,248,661 \$5,519,437

Holdback shares

The Company has concluded that the holdback shares are classified as a component of equity, recognized initially at fair value with no remeasurement, and subsequent settlement to be accounted for within equity. The fair value of the holdback shares was determined by discounting the share price of the Company as at the acquisition date.

Earn-out payments

The earn-out liability represents future payments by the Company of up to US\$1.5 million over five years, that are contingent on the achievement of certain revenue targets. The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities is based on the estimated future financial performance of the acquired business. The estimated earnout consideration was fair valued by assessing the probabilities of achieving these milestones and discounting the revenue cash flow over the life of the payment period of five years and recognized as at the acquisition date of Hydrogreen Inc. The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities is measured each reporting period at the estimated fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The Earn-out payments are based on unobservable inputs and considered a level 3 measurement.

On August 28, 2020, the Company received the first tranche payment of \$2,500,000. The second tranche of \$2,500,000 will be provided by BDC when the stipulated conditions in the agreement are met by the Company.

IFRS 8 Operating Segments defines that an operating segment as a component of an entity:

(a) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity).

(b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's Chief Executive Officer to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and

(c)for which discrete financial information is available.

For management purposes, the Company is organized into divisions based on its products and services and these are comprised of two separate reportable segments: Fresh, for leafy greens and other crops, and Feed, for livestock feed. The Fresh division includes the head office function. The entire Fresh division operates in Canada and the entire Feed division operates in the United States.

24. Capital management

The Company's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk.

The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk and manages the capital structure and makes adjustment to it considering changes to economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce debt.

The Company monitors capital based on the net equity. Net equity is calculated as total assets less total liabilities.

24. Capital management (continued)

During the period, the Company's strategy, which was unchanged from the prior year, was to maintain net equity at a positive amount. The net equity at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 was as follows:

December 31, 2020 June 30, 2020
S S
Total Assets 34,736,855 21,140,607
Total Liabilities (12, 997, 278) (6,756,186)
Net Equity 21,739,577 14,384,421

25 Financial instruments

The Company classifies its fair value measurements with the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1-Unadjusted quoted prices at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities in active market.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The carrying value of the Company's cash & cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables approximate fair value due to their immediate and short-term nature.

The earnout payable is measured at fair value based on unobservable inputs and is considered a Level 3 financial instrument. The determination of the fair value is primarily driven by the Company's expectations of HydroGreen achieving certain revenue targets. The expected related cash flows were discounted to derive the fair value of the earnout payable. As at December 31, 2020, the discount rate was estimated to be 17% (June 30, 2020 - 24%). If the discount rate decreased by 5%, the estimated fair value of the earnout payable would increase by approximately \$70,018 (June 30, 2020 -\$120,710). If the discount rate increased by 5%, the estimated fair value of the earnout payable would decrease by approximately \$64,502 (June 30, 2020 - \$101,902).

The fair value of the Company's Loans payable is the carrying value discounted at the effective interest rate. As at December 31, 2020 the fair value of the Loans payable was \$1,990,278 and the carrying value was \$2,034,835. As at June 30, 2020 the fair value of the Loans payable was \$194,853 and the carrying amount was \$265,121.

The derivative liability is measured at fair value based on unobservable inputs and is considered a Level 3 financial instrument. The determination of the fair value is primarily driven by the Company's expected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and interest ("EBITDA") in 2024. The expected related cash flows were discounted to derive the fair value of the derivative liability. As at December 31, 2020, the discount rate was estimated to be 47% (June 30, 2020 - Nil). If 2024 EBITDA changed by 25%, the estimated fair value of the derivative liability would increase or decrease by approximately \$191,219 (June 30, 2020 - \$Nil). If discount rates decreased by 5%, the estimated fair value of the derivative liability would increase by approximately \$167,232. If discount rates increased by 5%, the estimated fair value of the derivative liability would decrease by approximately \$138,870 (June 30, 2020 - \$Nil).

There has been no change between levels during the year.

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its financial instruments. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to manage these risk exposures. As at December 31, 2020 the primary risks relating to the use of financial instruments were as follows:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge any obligations. The Company's cash and receivables are exposed to credit risk. The Company reduces its credit risk on cash by placing these instruments with institutions of high credit worthiness and the loans and advances will be secured by the assets of the Company which mitigates the credit risk. The Company performs regular credit assessments on its customers and associates and provides allowances for potentially uncollectible accounts receivables from customers and receivables from associates. As at December 31, 2020, one customer accounted for 29% of the trade accounts receivable and the Company has no issues for collection for it. The Company performs regular credit assessments on its customers and associates and provides allowances for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable and associates.

25. Financial instruments (continued)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meets it financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities.

Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities generally have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.

Management is continuing efforts to increase sales and attract additional equity and capital investors to continue R&D activities, and, from the other side, implement effective cost control measures to maintain adequate levels of working capital.

At December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the Company has financial liabilities which are due on a fiscal year basis as follows:

25. Financial instruments (continued)

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect the Company's (loss) income or the fair value of its financial instruments. The market risk is analysed further below:

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Financial assets and liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company does not hold any financial liabilities with variable interest rates. The Company does maintain bank accounts which earn interest at variable rates, but it does not believe it is currently subject to any significant interest rate risk.

Foreign currency risk

The Company enters into transactions denominated in US dollars for which the related revenues, expenses, accounts receivable, and accounts payable balances are subject to exchange rate fluctuations. As at December 31, 2020, the following items are denominated in US dollars:

December 31, 2020 June 30, 2020
\$ S
Cash 3,616,464 93,424
Trade and other receivables 1,251,269 1,446,332
Trade and other payables (432, 742) (313,060)
Customer deposits (524, 941) (243, 883)
Earn-out payable (1,290,475) (1,001,457)
Loans payable (58, 622) (165, 194)
Net exposure 2,560,954 (183, 838)

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company has not made any special arrangements to reduce the related currency risk.

A 10% increase in the US dollar exchange rate would decrease the Company's net loss by approximately \$256,000. A 10% decrease in the exchange rate would increase net loss by the same amount.

26. Deferred tax assets and liability

27. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

27. Earnings per share (continued)

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent (after adjusting for interest on the convertible preference shares) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year adjusting for the effect of dilutive convertible preferred shares and share options. The earnings used in the calculation for all diluted earnings per share measures are the same as those for the equivalent basic earnings per shares measures, as outlined below. The weighted average numbers of ordinary shares for the purposes of diluted earnings per share reconciles to the weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share as follows:

At year end diluted earnings per share is reported at the same value as basic earnings per share due to the anti-dilutive effect as the company is in a loss position.
