Codebase Ventures Inc. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements June 30, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited – Prepared by Management)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Codebase Ventures Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in British Columbia on February 19, 2009. The Company’s registered address is 1780-355 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Shares of the Company are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol CODE, and are quoted on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FWB”) under the symbol C5B, and on the OTCQB under the symbol BKLLF. The Company’s principal activities relate to identifying investments in the technology, biotechnology, cannabis, and CBD wellness sectors.
On June 26, 2020, the Company completed a consolidation of its common shares (“share consolidation”) on the basis of one post-consolidation common share for every ten pre-consolidation common shares held (10-to-1). All references contained in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements to issued and outstanding common shares, warrants, options, per share amounts, and exercise prices, have been retrospectively restated to reflect the effect of the share consolidation.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue its operations for at least the next twelve months. The Company has incurred losses since its inception and has an accumulated deficit of $26,363,451 as at June 30, 2021. In addition, the Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations. These factors 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 obtaining additional financing or maintaining continued support from its shareholders and creditors, identifying and acquiring businesses or assets, and generating profitable operations in the future. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The potential economic effects within the Company’s environment and in the global markets, possible disruption in supply chains, as a result of measures introduced and being introduced at various levels of government to curtail the spread of the virus (such as travel restrictions, closures of non-essential municipal and private operations, imposition of quarantines and physical distancing) could have a material impact on the Company’s future operations. As of the issue date of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements the extent of the impact of this outbreak and related containment measures on the Company’s operations cannot be reliably estimated.
These events and conditions, create 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 obtaining additional financing or maintaining continued support from its shareholders and creditors, identifying and acquiring businesses or assets, and generating profitable operations in the future. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements and are intended to provide users with an update in relation to events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the end of the last annual reporting period. It is therefore recommended that these condensed consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The accounting policies applied in preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, other than as described in Note 3.
pg. 7
Codebase Ventures Inc. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements June 30, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited – Prepared by Management)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Basis of Measurement
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
Basis of Consolidation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries as follows:
| Country of | Percentage | Functional | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name of subsidiary | Abbreviation | Incorporation | Ownership | Currency | Principal Activity |
| 360 Blockchain USA Inc. | 360 USA | USA | 100% | USD | Holding Company |
| SV CryptoLab Inc. | SV Crypto | USA | 80% | USD | Inactive |
| Blockchain Media Tech LLC | Blockchain Media Tech | USA | 100% | USD | Inactive |
| Token Media Tech LLC | Token Media Tech | USA | 100% | USD | Inactive |
| Code Cannabis Investments Inc. | Code Cannabis | CAN | 100% | CAD | HoldingCompany |
Inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated in preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. The accounting policies of its subsidiaries are consistent with the policies adopted by the Company.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, Blockchain Media Tech and Token Media Tech were wound up by the Company.
Foreign Currencies
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and Code Cannabis. The functional currency of 360 USA, SV Crypto, Blockchain Media Tech and Token Media Tech is the US dollar.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Nonmonetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items or on settlement of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent that gains and losses arising on those non-monetary items are also recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
Subsidiaries
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency are translated as follows:
-
Assets and liabilities are translated at period-end rates; and
-
Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period.
pg. 8
Codebase Ventures Inc. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements June 30, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited – Prepared by Management)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Subsidiaries (continued)
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations in each period are classified in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) and the cumulative effect as at the period end is reported as accumulated other comprehensive income. Cumulative differences are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed of.
Financial Instruments
Recognition
The Company recognizes a financial asset or financial liability on the statement of financial position when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value, and are derecognized either when the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or when cash flows expire. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and are derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.
A write-off of a financial asset (or a portion thereof) constitutes a derecognition event. Write-off occurs when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering the contractual cash flows on a financial asset.
Classification and Measurement
The Company determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified into the following measurement categories:
-
i) those to be measured subsequently at fair value, either through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) or through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”); and,
-
ii) those to be measured subsequently at amortized cost.
The classification and measurement of financial assets after initial recognition at fair value depends on the business model for managing the financial asset and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding, are generally measured at amortized cost at each subsequent reporting period. All other financial assets are measured at their fair values at each subsequent reporting period, with any changes recorded through profit or loss or through other comprehensive income (which designation is made as an irrevocable election at the time of recognition).
The classification and measurement bases of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:
| Financial Instrument | Classification |
|---|---|
| Cash | FVTPL |
| Receivables | Amortized cost |
| Loan receivable | Amortized cost |
| Long-term investments | FVTPL |
| Long-term investments – in convertible debentures | Amortized cost |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost |
After initial recognition at fair value, financial liabilities are classified and measured at either:
-
i) amortized cost;
-
ii) FVTPL, if the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of recognition, or when required (for items such as instruments held for trading or derivatives); or,
-
iii) FVTOCI, when the change in fair value is attributable to changes in the Company’s credit risk.
The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.
pg. 9
Codebase Ventures Inc. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements June 30, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited – Prepared by Management)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of a financial asset or financial liability classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost or FVTOCI are included in the fair value of the instrument on initial recognition. Transaction costs for financial assets and financial liabilities classified at FVTPL are expensed within profit or loss in the period incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. There were no cash equivalents as at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Impairment
At the end of each reporting period the carrying amounts of the Company’s non-monetary assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 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.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the impairment arises. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Investment in Associates
The Company follows the equity method of accounting for its investments in associates in which it owns less than 50% and over which it exercises significant influence. Under this method, the Company includes in profit or loss its share of the net earnings or losses of the associate less dividends received, if any.
Once management determines that it no longer has significant influence, it recognizes the investment at fair value, with any gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. Following recognition at fair value, the investment is treated as FVTOCI.
Share Capital
Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company’s common shares, options and warrants are classified as equity instruments. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new common shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Common shares issued as consideration for goods or services are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If the fair value of the goods or services cannot be estimated reliably, then the Company measures their value, and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by reference to the value of the common shares, based on the market value of the common shares on the date that the common shares are issued.
Equity financing transactions may involve issuance of common shares or units. A unit comprises a certain number of common shares and a certain number of share purchase warrants. Depending on the terms and conditions of each equity financing agreement, the warrants are exercisable into additional common shares prior to expiry at a price stipulated by the agreement. Warrants that are part of units are assigned value based on the residual value method and included in contributed surplus. Warrants that are issued as transaction costs are accounted for as share ‐ based payments.
Share Issue Costs
Professional, consulting, regulatory and other costs directly attributable to financing transactions are recorded as deferred financing costs until the financing transactions are completed, if the completion of the transaction is considered likely; otherwise they are expensed as incurred. Share issue costs are charged to share capital when the related shares are issued. Deferred financing costs related to financing transactions that are not completed are charged to profit or loss.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Share-based Payment Transactions
The Company offers equity-settled share-based payments to directors, officers, employees and non-employees. Sharebased payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the estimated fair value of the instruments issued on the grant date and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the 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 valued at the date the goods or services are received.
The fair value of instruments granted is measured using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, taking into account the terms and conditions under which the instruments are granted. The fair value of the awards is adjusted by an estimate of the number of awards that are expected to vest as a result of non-market conditions. At each consolidated statement of financial position date, the Company revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market conditions including the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, with corresponding adjustments to equity.
Consideration received on the exercise of stock options and warrants is recorded as share capital and the related contributed surplus is transferred to share capital.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares, stock options, and warrants outstanding at the beginning of or granted during the period, calculated using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the proceeds from the exercise of the options and warrants are assumed to be used to repurchase the Company’s shares. The difference between the number of shares assumed purchased and the number of options and warrants assumed exercised is added to the actual number of shares outstanding to determine diluted shares outstanding for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share. Diluted loss per share does not adjust the loss attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti-dilutive, in which case the diluted loss per share is equivalent to the basic loss per share.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred tax components. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case the related tax is recognized in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.
Deferred tax is recorded using the asset and liability method. Under this method, the Company calculates all temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the period end date. Deferred tax is calculated based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates that are expected to apply to the year of realization or settlement based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the period end date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each consolidated statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS
Fair values
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, loan receivable, long-term investments, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Cash and long-term investments are carried at fair value, except for long-term investments in convertible debentures which are carried at amortized cost. The fair values of receivables, loan receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to their current nature. The carrying value of long-term investments in convertible debentures approximate their fair values due to the inclusion of a market rate of interest.
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the degree to which the inputs used to determine the fair value are observable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

-
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were calculated as follows:
| June 30, 2021 | Balance | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash | $ | 3,838,717 | $ | 3,836,717 | $ | - | $ | - |
| Long-term investments* | 1,807,666 | 1,807,666 | - | - | ||||

| Long-term investments* | 248,386 | 76,202 | - | 172,184 |

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Credit risk associated with cash is minimal as the Company deposits the majority of its cash with a large Canadian financial institution. The Company’s credit risk associated with its receivables, loan receivable, and long-term investment in convertible debentures is monitored by management. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of the cash, receivables, loan receivable, and long-term investment in convertible debentures.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure it has a planning and budgeting process in place to determine the funds required to support its ongoing operations and capital expenditures. The Company ensures that sufficient funds are raised from private placements to meet its working capital requirements, after taking into account existing cash and expected exercise of share purchase warrants and options. Management believes that it will be successful in raising the necessary funds however, given the current market conditions, management believes that the raising of the required funds will take longer than is normal and will be at prices that may be less than desirable. There are no assurances that additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. All of the Company’s financial liabilities have maturities of one year or less as at June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, commodity prices, equity prices, and foreign currency fluctuations.
a) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk arising from the effect of changes in prevailing interest rates on the Company’s financial instruments. The Company’s long-term investment in convertible debentures is at a fixed rate of interest, as is its loan receivable. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk with respect to these financial instruments as a change in the prevailing interest rates would not impact the future cash flows associated with the fixed rates of interest, nor would they be expected to impact the fair value of future cash flows unless and until such time as these financial instruments matured and were renewed or extended, instead of being collected.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS (continued)
b) Price Risk
The risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer or by factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Company is exposed to price risk associated with its long-term investments in marketable securities and warrants, classified in levels 1 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy, respectively. A 10% change in market prices of the common shares underlying the long-term investments in marketable securities and warrants would result in a gain or loss of approximately $164,000.
c) Currency Risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. At June 30, 2021 the Company held an insignificant balance of US dollar assets. A 10% change in the foreign exchange rate would not impact profit or loss by a material amount. The Company’s investment in World High Life Plc is denominated in Pounds Sterling. A 10% change in the Pound Sterling versus the Canadian dollar would result in a gain or loss of approximately $164,000.
10. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company’s objectives for managing capital (defined as all components of equity) are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Company manages capital by issuing new common shares, options, and warrants, and may in the future issue new debt. There are no externally imposed capital requirements. There has been no change to the Company’s capital management approach during the period ended June 30, 2021.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Company received $15,000 for the exercise of 200,000 warrants.
