EASTWEST BIOSCIENCE INC. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended October 31, 2020 - (Unaudited Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements represent the accounts of Eastwest Bioscience Inc. (the “Company” or “Eastwest”), formerly Harbour Star Capital Inc., incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of Alberta on October 24, 2014 and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. On November 30, 2018, the Company changed its name to Eastwest Bioscience Inc. Its main business activity is developing premium quality hemp nutritional products for people and pets. The Company commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on July 25, 2018 under the trading symbol “EAST”. The head office and principal office of the Company is located at 260 Okanagan Avenue East, Penticton BC, V2A 3J7.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations. For the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $311,395 (October 31, 2019 - $424,225) and had an accumulated deficit of $9,627,951 (July 31, 2020 - $9,316,556) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its success in developing and marketing its wellness products, introducing new revenue channels using its US and Canadian assets, increasing manufacturing at its Canadian facility, expanding its manufacturing and distribution operations, and reduction of debt through paydowns, debt settled with share consideration, and negotiation of debt reductions, and the ability of the Company to obtain capital financing through continued support from its shareholders and B2B arrangements. Management believes the Company will be able to provide sufficient working capital from these measures to satisfy its liabilities and commitments as they become due for the foreseeable future. However, the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate additional financing, management might be required to curtail the Company’s operations. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not contain any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, which might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.
The recent outbreak of the coronavirus, also known as "COVID-19", continues to impact worldwide economic activity. The extent to which the coronavirus may impact the Company’s business activities will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in Canada and other countries to contain and treat the disease. These events are highly uncertain and as such, the Company cannot determine their financial impact at this time. COVID-19 has had a negative impact on the consolidated operation which has resulted in decrease in sales compared to the prior year.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Comparative Information
Certain comparative figures in the condensed consolidated interim 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.
4. USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Matters that require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include, but are not limited:
Going concern
The assumption that the Company is a going concern and will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and for at least one year. Management uses judgment in determining assumptions for cash flow projections, such as anticipated financing, anticipated sales and future commitments to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The factors considered by management are disclosed in Note 1.
Impairment of intangible assets
Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts exceed their recoverable amounts and also at the end of each reporting period. The Company considers both internal and external sources of information when making the assessment of whether there are indications of impairment for the Company’s intangible asset. External sources of information considered are changes in the Company’s economic, legal and regulatory environment which it does not control but affect the recoverability of its asset. Internal sources of information the Company considers include the manner in which intangible asset are being used or are expected to be used and indications of economic performance of the assets.
Valuation of inventory
The Company determines its allowance for inventory obsolescence based upon expected inventory turnover, inventory aging, the expiry dates of the products, and current and future expectations with respect to product offerings. Assumptions underlying the allowance for inventory obsolescence include future sales trends and offerings and the expected inventory requirements and inventory composition necessary to support these future sales offerings. The estimate of the Company’s allowance for inventory obsolescence could materially change from period to period due to changes in product offerings, consumer acceptance of the products and the expiry dates of the products.

EASTWEST BIOSCIENCE INC. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended October 31, 2020 - (Unaudited Expressed in Canadian dollars)
4. USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (continued)
Useful life and recovery of long-lived assets
Management estimates the useful life of long-lived assets based on the period during which the assets are expected to be available for use. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for depreciation for any period are affected by these estimated useful lives. The estimates are reviewed at least annually and are updated if expectations change as a result of technical or commercial obsolescence, and legal or other limits to use. It is possible that changes in these factors may cause significant changes in the estimated useful lives of the Company’s long-lived assets in the future.
The assessment of any impairment of long-lived assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that takes into account factors such as economic and market conditions, timing of cash flows, the useful lives of assets and their related salvage values.
Share-based payments
The Company measures the cost of equity‐settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share‐based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the stock option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks which are in common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. The following note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them.

Rick Factors

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at October 31, 2020, the Company had cash balance of $28,964 (July 31, 2020 - $107,084), total current assets of $670,063 (July 31, 2020 - $690,560) and current liabilities of $3,197,994 (July 31, 2020 - $3,009,694). Current liabilities include $2,012,920 in financing with renewable, extendable or forgivable terms. A substantial amount of the Company’s total financial liabilities has contractual maturities of less than 365 days, and are subject to normal trade terms.
Management has undertaken and is considering different alternatives to secure adequate debt or equity financing to meet the Company’s short term and long-term cash requirements. The Company will continue to pursue non-dilutive B2B financing options with shared working capital requirements and B2B based sales programs in both Canada and the US to mitigate its liquidity risk.
Interest Risk
Interest risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market risk. At present the Company’s sensitivity to interest rates is immaterial as the mortgage is subject to a maximum interest rate of 8% per annum, which is currently being applied to the mortgage.
Currency Risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company holds no financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollar. Therefore, the Company’s exposure to currency risk is minimal.
Fair value
The Company has classified fair value measurements of its financial instruments using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements as follows:
-
Level 1: Valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2: Valuations based on directly or indirectly observable inputs in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted interest or currency exchange rates; and
-
Level 3: Valuations based on significant inputs that are not derived from observable market data, such as discounted cash flow methodologies based on internal cash flow forecasts.
As at October 31, 2020, the fair values of financial instruments measured on a recurring basis include cash, determined based on level 1 input and consisting of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The fair values of other financial instruments, which include accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to or from related parties, other liabilities and mortgage payable approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments. The promissory note payable and loans payable are non-interest bearing and are accounted for at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
