DLC HOLDINGS CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

DLC Holdings Corp. (“DLC”) (with its subsidiaries, collectively, the “Company”) is an investment company investing in agricultural land and in the food processing industry. The Company was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on March 25, 2011 and is listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“Exchange”) under the symbol DLC.

This Company’s head office address is 1600 - 609 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V7Y 1C3, and its registered and records office address is 2200 – 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3E8.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) on a going concern basis, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company and its subsidiaries will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. As at June 30, 2021, the Company has a cash balance of $196,456 and a working capital deficit of $130,473. The Company has entered into a credit facility with a related party (Note 9) which will provide working capital if required to meet ongoing costs. The Company therefore has sufficient capital resource from which to fund on-going operating requirements for the next twelve months.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. The Company is currently of the view that the long-term impact of the pandemic on investment holdings will not be severe. The most significant impact to date has been an impact on the valuation of land holdings in South America which have reduced as a result of a pandemic-linked devaluation of the Brazilian real relative to the US and Canadian dollars. In the mid- to long-term the Company anticipates that the the Brazilian real will appreciate and that land values will adjust in the Company's favour over time.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The accounting policies applied are consistent with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial assets that are measured at fair value. All dollar amounts presented are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.

These consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries.

Use of judgments and estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the actual results. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

DLC HOLDINGS CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont’d…)

Use of judgments and estimates (cont’d…)

The key areas of judgment applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are as follows:

Investment entities

The Company has judged that certain of its controlled subsidiaries qualify as investment entities. The primary functions of the private companies detailed in Note 4 was judged to be consistent with the requirements of the investment entity exemption under IFRS 10 C onsolidated financial statements . Specifically, those entities have the specific function of providing returns on a capital appreciation basis and are evaluated by management on a fair value basis.

Determination of functional currency

The functional currency of each of the subsidiaries and the Company were assessed to determine the economic substance of the currency in which each entity performed its operations. The functional currency determination was conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates . The determination of functional currency involves certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders the functional currency if there are changes in events and conditions of the factors used in the determination of the primary economic environment.

Going concern

The assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern involves judgment regarding future funding available for its operations and working capital requirements as discussed in Note 1.

The key areas of estimates applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are as follows:

Valuation of investments

The Company recognizes its tangible assets (Note 5) and investments in subsidiaries (Note 4) at fair value. The material composition of these assets is land. The Company performs reviews of comparable transactions and engages third party valuators to provide annual valuations of those holdings. These valuations are determined using level 3 inputs which involve considerable estimates as the inputs used to value these assets are based on unobservable market data. There is inherent uncertainty and imprecision in estimating the factors that can affect fair value, and in estimating fair values generally, when observable market data is not available. Between third party valuations, management reviews assumptions and market conditions, including any impact of political or legal risk of foreign jurisdictions, to adjust fair value estimations. Changes in assumptions and inputs used in valuing financial instruments could affect reported fair values.

Deferred income tax

The estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income prior to expiry of those deductions. Management assesses whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, which in turn is dependent upon the successful operations of the Company. To the extent that management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize future tax deductions changes, the Company would be required to recognize more or fewer deferred tax assets, and future income tax provisions or recoveries could be affected.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont’d…)

Use of judgments and estimates (cont’d…)

Impairment of long lived assets

The carrying value of long lived assets is reviewed each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is impaired and an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The assessment of fair values, including those of the cash generating units (the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflow from other assets or groups of assets – “CGUs”) for purposes of impairment testing, require the use of estimates and assumptions for discount rates, foreign exchange rates, future capital requirements and operating performance. Changes in any of the assumption or estimates used in determining the fair value of long lived assets could impact the impairment analysis.

Consolidation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries which exist for the purpose of executing the Company’s business operations. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include:

A subsidiary is an entity over which the Company has control, where control indicates exposure or rights to variable returns and the ability to affect those returns through power over the investee. Where an entity obtains funds for the purpose of providing investment management services, invests funds solely for returns from capital appreciation and/or investment income and measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis, the Company applies the investment entity exemption under IFRS 10. These entities are not consolidated and are recorded on a fair value basis (Note 5).

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial instruments

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d…)

Financial instruments (cont’d…)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets, including cash, receivables and marketable securities. The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. The Company considers the risk of financial loss on cash to be remote. The Company’s receivables consist materially of GST input tax credits recoverable from the government of Canada and a receivable from a related party. The Company considers credit risk with respect to these amounts to be low.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at June 30, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $130,473 (December 31, 2020 – $116,447).

Balances due to broker are supported by the Company’s investment in marketable securities. The extension of margin by the broker is limited to 25% of the value of the Company’s investment in marketable securities. The ability of the Company to settle balances due to broker may be impacted by significant changes in the value of its investment in marketable securities. Marketable securities may be subject to significant volatility relative to the overall equity market and volatility of the specific securities held. The liquidity of the marketable securities is subject to the characteristics of the individual equities and may or may not be immediately convertible to cash.

The Company’s ability to finance its future operating requirements is significantly dependent on the Company’s ability to achieve economic returns on its investments. Without these returns, the Company will remain dependent upon the continued financial support of its debtors and shareholders. The Company, as at June 30, 2021, is exposed to liquidity risk.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices. The Company does not have a practice of trading derivatives.

a) Interest rate risk

The Company’s financial asset exposed to interest rate risk consists of cash. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. The Company does not anticipate interest income on cash to contribute significantly to the operations and returns of the Company and is therefore minimally exposed to interest rate risk on assets.

Interest rates on debts payable are set at fixed rates reducing the Company’s exposure to interest rate changes.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d…)

Financial instruments (cont’d…)

Market risk (cont’d…)

b) Foreign currency risk

The Company’s investments and assets are located in a number of jurisdictions and therefore exposed to the currency movements of a number of currencies. In addition to the functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries, the Company is also exposed to the Brazilian Real and Argentinean Peso on its non-monetary investments which is the jurisdiction of the investments in the unconsolidated subsidiaries of Craven House and Ceniako.

As at June 30, 2021, the Company’s net foreign denominated monetary financial instruments are as follows:

Canadian dollar
Foreign currency equivalent
US dollar US$ (495,610) $ (614,257)
Euro (57,010) $ (83,799)
South African Rand R 122,022 $ 10,584

A fluctuation of 10% of the above note currencies against the Canadian dollar would have had an impact of $68,748 on the net loss for the period.

c) Other price risk

The Company’s marketable securities is comprised of individual equities in publicly traded companies. The portfolio is not diversified against geography or industry and is therefore subject to fluctuations in equity markets as well as volatility in individual underlying equities. The Company’s exposure to other price risk is assumed to be the value of the marketable securities which are held at FVPL. The Company does not have a specific policy with respect to investment or portfolio requirements.

12. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company defines capital as consisting of the components of shareholder’s equity. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to manage the cost of capital at acceptable levels of risk.

The Company manages its capital structure to maximize its financial flexibility making adjustments to it in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and business opportunities. The Company does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain the future development of the business.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
