1. Nature of business and going concern
Deveron Corp. (formerly Deveron UAS Corp). ("Deveron" or the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario on March 28, 2011. The primary office is located at The Canadian Venture Building, 82 Richmond Street East, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 1P1. On July 19, 2016, Deveron's common shares started trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") under the symbol "DVR".
On August 31, 2020, the Company changed its corporate name from Deveron UAS Corp. to Deveron Corp. The Company's new stock symbol on the CSE is "FARM" and commenced trading under the new name and ticker symbol on market opening on September 3, 2020.
On September 21, 2020, the Company was accepted for listing on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") as a Tier 2 issuer, and its common shares commenced trading on September 21, 2020, on the TSXV under the symbol "FARM".
Deveron is an agriculture technology company focused on providing data acquisition services and data analytics to the farming sector in North America. Through its network of drone pilots and soil sampling technicians, the Company is providing scalable data acquisition solutions in the imagery and soil space. Additionally, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Veritas Farm Business Management Inc. ("Veritas"), the Company provides growers in North America with independent insights and recommendations to improve farm outcomes.
On February 19, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of FD Agro Technologies LLC ("Farm Dog"). Refer to note 3.
On April 6, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Woods End Laboratories ("Woods End"). Refer to note 3.
On May 14, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Tana AG Solutions Group, LLC ("Tana Ag"). Refer to note 3.
On May 25, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Stealth Ag, Inc. ("Stealth Ag"). Refer to note 3.
As at June 30, 2021, 13.9% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares are owned by Greencastle Resources Ltd. ("Greencastle").
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or ability to raise funds.
Going concern
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will continue in operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Accordingly, it does not give effect to adjustments, if any, that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, and, therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts that may differ from those shown in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
As at June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $6,551,774 (December 31, 2020 - $4,721,897). Comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $1,835,047 (six months ended June 30, 2020 - $492,560). These conditions raise material uncertainties which cast significant doubt as to whether the Company will be able to continue as a going concern should it not be able to obtain the financing necessary to fund its planned revenue growth and working capital requirements.
1. Nature of business and going concern (continued)
Going concern (continued)
The Company has raised funds throughout the prior and current fiscal years and has utilized these funds for noncurrent asset investments and working capital requirements. The ability of the Company to arrange additional financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business performance of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to arrange additional financing on terms satisfactory to the Company, nor achieve desired sales growth. If additional financing is raised by the issuance of common shares from treasury of the Company, control of the Company may change and existing shareholders may have their ownership diluted. If adequate funding is not available, the Company may be required to relinquish rights to certain of its assets and/or terminate its operations.
2. Significant accounting policies
(a) Statement of compliance
The Company applies International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements required by IFRS as issued by the IASB.
The policies applied in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of August 27, 2021, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as compared with the most recent annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2021 could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
(b) Non-controlling interest
Non-controlling interest represents the minority shareholders' interest in the Company's less than wholly-owned subsidiary. On initial recognition, non-controlling interest is measured at its proportionate share of the acquisition-date fair value of identifiable net assets of the related subsidiary acquired by the Company. Subsequent to the acquisition date, adjustments are made to the carrying amount of non-controlling interest for the minority shareholders' share of changes to the subsidiary's equity. Changes in the Company's ownership interest that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In such circumstances, the carrying amounts of the controlling and noncontrolling interests shall be adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received shall be recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the parent.
3. Acquisitions
(i) Acquisition of Farm Dog
On February 19, 2021, the Company acquired Farm Dog.

(i) During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company applied for the COVID-19 Relief Line of Credit as part of the Government-sponsored Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA).

On January 1, 2021, the operating line of credit was converted to a 2-year 0% interest term loan, to be repaid by December 31, 2022 of which $10,000 of the loan will be forgiven if $30,000 is repaid in full on or before December 31, 2022. If on December 31, 2022 the loan is not repaid, the Company can exercise the option for a 3-year term extension at an interest rate of 5% on the balance over the term extension period.

(ii) During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company applied for and received loan proceeds in the amount of $61,869 (US$49,200) ("PPP Funds") pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"). The PPP was established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act in order to enable small businesses to pay employees during the economic slowdown caused by COVID-19 by providing forgivable loans to qualifying businesses for up to 2.5 times their average monthly payroll costs. The amount borrowed by the Company under the PPP is eligible to be forgiven provided that (a) the Company uses the PPP Funds during the 24-week period after receipt thereof, and (b) the PPP Funds are only used to cover payroll costs (including benefits), rent, mortgage interest, and utility costs. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if, among other reasons, the Company does not maintain staffing or payroll levels. Principal and interest payments on any unforgiven portion of the PPP Funds (the "PPP Loan") will be deferred for six months and will accrue interest at a fixed annual rate of 1%. Additionally, the PPP Loan balance will carry a two-year maturity date. There is no prepayment penalty on the PPP Loan. The PPP Loan was forgiven in full in June 2021.
