Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Shareholders of Cansortium Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Cansortium Inc. (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2021, and the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year 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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated 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 in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other Matter

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those consolidated financial statements on April 30, 2021.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained Management's Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditors' report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated 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 Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 these consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

4

We 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.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors' report is Sam Salty.

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Shareholders of Cansortium Inc.:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Cansortium Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

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 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated 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 1 of the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company had a net loss during the year ended December 31, 2020 and, as of that date, had an accumulated deficit. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, 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 Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in

the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s 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. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Cansortium Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31,2021 and 2020 (Amounts expressed in thousands of United States Dollars unless otherwise stated)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Cansortium Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada pursuant to the Ontario Business Corporations Act. (“OBCA”) on August 31, 2018. The Company’s registered office is located at 295 The West Mall, Suite 600, Toronto, Ontario, M9C 4Z4 and its head office is located at 82 North East 26th Street, Suite 110, Miami, Florida, United States, 33137.

On March 22, 2019, the Company acquired all outstanding units of Cansortium Holdings LLC (“Cansortium Holdings”), in connection with the Company's initial public offering and listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange. The Company’s shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") under the trading symbol “TIUM.U” and on the OTCQB Venture Market under the trading symbol “CNTMF.”

The Company, through its subsidiaries, is licensed to produce and sell medical cannabis in Florida and Texas and is licensed to sell medical cannabis in Pennsylvania.

The Company’s medical cannabis products are offered in oral drops, capsules, topicals, syringes, dried flower, pre‐rolls, cartridges, and edibles. All of its products are marketed under the Fluent™ brand name, which was launched in May 2019. Prior to the launch of the Fluent brand the Company had operated under the Knox Medical brand. In Pennsylvania, the Company’s product portfolio is comprised of a variety of third‐party branded medical cannabis products.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company discontinued its operations in Puerto Rico, Canada and Colombia and, as a result, classified the assets and liabilities associated with these operations as held for sale and investment held for sale, measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, and has disclosed such assets separately in the statement of financial position. Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss. The Company completed the sale of its Puerto Rican business on April 28, 2020, and completed the sale of its Canadian business on May 29, 2020. Additionally, on January 22, 2020, the Company reduced its ownership of Cansortium Colombia S.A.S (Cansortium Colombia) to 50% (see Notes 7 and 16 c.) and classified its Cansortium Colombia investment held for sale separately in the statement of financial position.

All of the Company’s operations are in one segment, the production and sale of medical cannabis. All revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, were generated in the United States.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they become due for the near future.

Cansortium Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31,2021 and 2020 (Amounts expressed in thousands of United States Dollars unless otherwise stated)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on June 9, 2022.

(b) Basis of Measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention except for certain financial assets, liabilities and biological assets that are measured at fair value.

(c) Functional and Presentation of Currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of United States (“U.S.”) dollars unless otherwise stated. The functional currency of the Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of the Brazilian subsidiary is the Brazilian Reais. The functional currency of the Australian subsidiary is the Australian dollar. The functional currency of the Colombian subsidiary is the Colombian peso.

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at period end exchange rates. Income and expenses, and cash flows of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates. Exchange differences resulting from the translation of foreign operations are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.

(d) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority‐owned subsidiaries. Subsidiaries over which the Company has control are fully consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases. Control exists when the Company is exposed, 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. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable are considered. Non‐controlling interests in the equity of consolidated subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss and in the consolidated statement of changes in stakeholders’ equity. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. The information below lists the Company’s subsidiaries that are included in these consolidated financial statements and the ownership interest held as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

2 Cansortium Health Partners, LLC was dissolved during the year ended December 31, 2021.

3 Cansortium Colombia S.A.S. was 50% divested in the year ended December 31, 2020 and the Company does not have significant influence over the entity.

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash deposits in financial institutions, other deposits that are readily convertible into cash, and cash held at retail locations.

(f) Inventory

Inventory of harvested work‐in‐progress and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the average cost method.

The direct and indirect costs of inventory initially include the fair value of the biological asset at the time of harvest. They also include subsequent costs such as materials, labor and depreciation expense on equipment involved in packaging, labeling and inspection. All direct and indirect costs related to inventory are capitalized as they are incurred and they are subsequently recorded within ‘cost of goods sold’ on the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss at the time cannabis

Cansortium Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31,2021 and 2020 (Amounts expressed in thousands of United States Dollars unless otherwise stated)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

is sold, except for realized fair value amounts included in inventory sold which are recorded as a separate line on the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss.

Inventory is measured at lower of cost or net realizable value on the statement of financial position. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs to completion and the estimated costs to sell. The Company reviews inventory for obsolete, redundant, and slow‐moving goods and any such inventory is written down to net realizable value.

(g) Biological Assets

The Company’s biological assets consist of medical cannabis plants which are not yet harvested. In accordance with IAS 41 “Agriculture” , the Company is required to record its biological assets at fair value. During the main growth phase, the cost of each plant is accumulated over the grow period after the seed state and until the plant reaches the vegetative state. For the remainder of the growing period, in accordance with IAS 2 “Inventories” , the cost of each plant is accumulated, including both direct and indirect costs of production. Pre‐harvest costs are capitalized to biological assets and include all direct and indirect costs including labor related costs, grow consumables, materials, utilities, facilities costs, quality and testing costs, and production related depreciation.

At the point of harvest, the biological assets are transferred to inventory at their fair value less costs to sell. Unrealized and realized gains or losses arising from changes in fair value less cost to sell during the year are included in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss. Biological assets are measured at their fair value less costs to sell on the statement of financial position.

(h) Business Combinations

Acquisition of subsidiaries and business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. Acquisition related transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities, including intangible assets, of acquired businesses are recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. When the Company acquires control of a business, any previously held equity interest also is remeasured to fair value. The excess of the purchase consideration and any previously held equity interest over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is goodwill. If the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the purchase consideration and any previously held equity interest, the difference is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss immediately as a gain or loss on acquisition.

Contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition‐date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” , with the corresponding gain or loss being recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss.

(i) Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost (including capitalized borrowing costs), net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Expenditures and costs incurred to acquire or construct

15

Cansortium Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31,2021 and 2020 (Amounts expressed in thousands of United States Dollars unless otherwise stated)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

an item of property, plant, or equipment or costs subsequently incurred to add to, replace part of, or service it are capitalized. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Property, Plant and Equipment are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of the company’s goods and services, for rental to others, or for administration purposes and are expected to be used during more than one period. Depreciation is calculated on a straight‐line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset using the following terms:

Land Not depreciated
Furniture and fixtures 7 Years
Computer equipment 3‐7 Years
Manufacturing equipment 7 Years
Leasehold improvements Straight line over the lesser of useful life and term of the lease
Buildings 20 Years
Vehicles 10 Years

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year‐end and adjusted prospectively if appropriate. An item of equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising on de‐recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the asset) is included in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss in the year the asset is derecognized.

Costs incurred by the Company for tangible assets of Property, Plant, and Equipment that are under construction are capitalized to Property, Plant, and Equipment as incurred. Depreciation on tangible assets under construction does not commence until the assets are ready for use, that is, when the assets are in the location and condition capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment ceases when the asset is no longer available for use, or when management has determined a plan for sale that is highly probable, and the assets are available for sale in their present condition and subject to terms that are usual and customary for the sale of such assets.

The Company’s policy on impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment is included in 2(p) Impairment of Non‐Financial Assets.

(j) Right of Use Assets and Lease Obligations

The right‐of‐use asset is a lessee's right to use an asset over the life of a lease. The asset is calculated as the initial amount of the lease liability, along with any lease payments made to the lessor before the lease commencement date, in addition to any initial direct costs incurred, excluding any lease incentives received.

Lease obligations are calculated as present value of the lease payments at the lease commencement date that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate.

16

Cansortium Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31,2021 and 2020 (Amounts expressed in thousands of United States Dollars unless otherwise stated)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

After the commencement date, the Company recognizes depreciation and impairment of the right‐of‐ use asset and the interest on the lease liability in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss. Depreciation on Right of Use Assets is calculated based on the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life, range from 5 to 12 years. Lease payments that are not fixed and vary based on a variable other than an index or rate are expensed as incurred.

(k) Non‐controlling Interests

Non‐controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are a separate component of the Company’s equity. Non‐controlling interests consist of the non‐controlling interests on the date of the original acquisition plus the non‐controlling interests’ share of changes in equity since the date of acquisition. Changes in the Company’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transaction.

(l) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenditures are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss as incurred.

Cannabis licenses and intellectual property acquired in a business combination are recognized initially at fair value at the acquisition date and have an indefinite useful life. The cannabis license in Florida has an indefinite useful life. Cannabis license fees in Texas are capitalized and amortized on a straight‐ line basis over the term of the license. Trademarks and brands acquired in a business combination are recognized initially at fair value at the acquisition date and amortized on a straight‐line basis, using the following amortization terms:

Trademarks and brands 5 years Licenses Fees (Texas) 2 years

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.

(m) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for business combination acquisitions over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

(n) Impairment of Non‐Financial Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization and, in accordance with the Company’s policy, are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

17

Cansortium Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31,2021 and 2020 (Amounts expressed in thousands of United States Dollars unless otherwise stated)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

For the purpose of testing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash‐generating unit, or “CGU”). An impairment loss is recognized for the amount, if any, by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and the value in use (being the present value of expected future cash flows of the asset or CGU). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lesser of the revised estimate of recoverable amount and the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been previously recognized.

(o) Derivative Liabilities

The Company uses the fair‐value method of accounting for derivative liabilities and such liabilities are re‐measured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recorded in the period incurred. The fair value is estimated using a Black‐Scholes model or the Monte‐Carlo simulation model. Critical estimates and assumptions used in the model are discussed in Note 13.

(p) Income Taxes

Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of current and deferred taxes not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

As the Company operates in the legal cannabis industry, the Company is subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E for under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to the cost of producing the products or cost of production. This results in differences in the tax based and accounting cost base that will not resolve between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed unallowable under IRC Section 280E.

Current Tax

Current tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred Tax

Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full. 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 and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a right and intention to offset current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.

18

Cansortium Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31,2021 and 2020 (Amounts expressed in thousands of United States Dollars unless otherwise stated)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(q) Revenue

The Company follows the following steps for accounting for revenue from contracts with customers:

  1. Identify the contract with a customer

  2. Identify the performance obligation(s)

  3. Determine the transaction price

  4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s)

  5. Recognize revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied

Revenue from the direct sale of cannabis to customers for a fixed price is recognized when the Company transfers control of the goods to the customer at the point of sale and the customer has paid for the goods.

The Company has a loyalty rewards program (the “Loyalty Program”) that allows customers to earn loyalty points to be used on future purchases. The Company estimates the stand‐alone selling price of the loyalty points awarded under the Loyalty Program. The stand‐alone selling price is calculated by multiplying the estimated redemption rate and the monetary value assigned to the loyalty points. In estimating the redemption rate the Company considers breakage which represents the portion of the points issued that will never be redeemed. The redemption rate is updated on a quarterly basis and the liability for unredeemed loyalty points is adjusted accordingly. In estimating the fair value of the loyalty points issued the Company considers the products available to customers in exchange for loyalty points and customers’ preferences. The Company ensures the value assigned to the loyalty points is commensurate to the stand‐alone selling price of the products eligible for redemption.

The Company has implemented an expiry date for unredeemed loyalty points with the first date loyalty points expired being March 10, 2022 for all points earned on or before March 10, 2021. As a result, all loyalty points issued after March 10, 2021 expire after one year.

(r) Share Based Compensation

The Company measures equity settled share‐based payments based on their fair value at the grant date based on the Black‐Scholes model and recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimate is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss. For share‐based payments granted to non‐employees, the compensation expense is measured at the fair value of the goods and services received except where the fair value cannot be estimated, in which case it is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The fair value of share‐based compensation to non‐employees is periodically re‐measured until counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the period and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity instruments.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(s) Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

Basic (loss) earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the calculation of diluted (loss) earnings per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. When a loss is incurred during a period, basic and diluted loss per share are the same because the exercise of share equivalents is then considered to be “anti‐dilutive.”

(t) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred, using the effective interest method. Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets for periods preceding the dates the assets are available for their intended use.

(u) Financial Instruments (See also Note 20)

Recognition and Initial Measurement

The Company recognizes financial assets when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are measured initially at their fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition. Transaction costs attributable to the acquisition of financial assets subsequently measured FVTPL are expensed in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss when incurred.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement

On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) or FVTPL. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets, together with any embedded derivatives, based on the business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics.

Financial assets are classified as follows:

  • Amortized cost ‐ Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest revenue is calculated using the effective interest method and gains or losses arising from impairment, foreign exchange and derecognition are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss when incurred.

20

Cansortium Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31,2021 and 2020 (Amounts expressed in thousands of United States Dollars unless otherwise stated)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

  • Fair value through other comprehensive income ‐ Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, and for which the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method and gains or losses arising from impairment and foreign exchange are recognized in profit or loss. All other changes in the carrying amount of the financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss. The Company does not hold any financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • Mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss ‐ Assets that do not meet the criteria to be measured at amortized cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income, are measured at fair value through profit or loss. All interest income and changes in the financial assets’ carrying amount are recognized in profit or loss.

  • Designated at fair value through profit or loss – On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset to be measured at fair value through profit or loss in order to eliminate or significantly reduce an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognizing the gains and losses on them, on different bases. All interest income and changes in the financial assets’ carrying amount are recognized in profit or loss. The Company does not hold any financial assets designated to be measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Business Model Assessment

The Company assesses the objective of its business model for holding a financial asset at a level of aggregation which best reflects the way the business is managed, and information is provided to management. Information considered in this assessment includes stated policies and objectives.

Contractual Cash Flow Assessment

The cash flows of financial assets are assessed as to whether they are solely payments of principal and interest based on their contractual terms. For this purpose, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money, the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding, and other basic lending risks and costs. In performing this assessment, the Company considers factors that would alter the timing and amount of cash flows such as prepayment and extension features, terms that might limit the Company’s claim to cash flows, and any features that modify consideration for the time value of money.

Impairment

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets, other than financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. Expected credit losses are measured to reflect a probability‐weighted amount, the time value of money, and reasonable and supportable information regarding past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The Company assesses whether a financial asset is credit‐impaired at the reporting date. Regular indicators that a financial instrument is credit‐impaired include significant financial difficulties as evidenced through borrowing patterns or observed balances in other accounts and breaches of borrowing contracts such as default events or breaches of borrowing covenants. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no credit‐impaired financial assets.

Financial assets are impaired when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering all or any portion thereof.

A financial asset not carried at fair value is reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.

An impairment in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the assets original effective interest rate. Losses are recognized in profit or loss with a corresponding reduction in the financial asset, or, in the case of amounts receivable, are reflected in an allowance account against receivables. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment is reversed through profit or loss.

Derecognition of Financial Assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when its contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expires, or when a transaction qualifies as a transfer.

Financial Liabilities

Recognition and Initial Measurement

The Company recognizes a financial liability when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. At initial recognition, the Company measures financial liabilities at their fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their issuance, with the exception of financial liabilities subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss for which transaction costs are immediately recorded in profit or loss.

Where an instrument contains both a liability and equity component, these components are recognized separately based on the substance of the instrument, with the liability component measured initially at fair value and the equity component assigned the residual amount.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial liabilities other than those measured at FVTPL are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense, gains, and losses relating to a financial liability are recognized in profit or loss.

(v) Critical Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the review affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgments, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are described below.

(i) Biological Assets and Inventory

In calculating the value of biological assets and inventory, management is required to make several estimates, including the stage of growth of the plant up to the point of harvest, harvesting costs, average or expected selling prices and expected yields for the plants. In calculating final inventory values, management compares the inventory cost to estimated net realizable value. Further information on estimates used in determining the fair value of biological assets is included in Note 4.

  • (ii) Estimated Useful Lives and Depreciation of Property and Equipment, and Intangible Assets

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets are dependent upon estimates of useful lives based on management’s judgment. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts considering factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.

23

Cansortium Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31,2021 and 2020 (Amounts expressed in thousands of United States Dollars unless otherwise stated)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Goodwill and indefinite life intangible asset impairment testing require management to make estimates in the impairment testing model. Annually, the Company tests whether goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are impaired. Impairment of definite long‐lived assets is influenced by judgment in defining a CGU and determining the indicators of impairment, and estimates used to measure impairment losses.

The recoverable value of goodwill, indefinite and definite long‐lived assets is determined using discounted future cash flow models, which incorporate assumptions regarding future events, specifically future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates.

(iii) Customers Loyalty Program

In calculating the customers loyalty points liability, the Company used historical and industry forfeiture rates. The key assumptions used for the rate is based on 3 years lookback of the Company’s customers behavior in comparison to Florida as well as the national forfeiture rates.

(iv) Derivative Liabilities

In calculating the fair value of its derivative liabilities, the Company uses either the Black‐ Scholes option‐pricing model or the Monte‐Carlo simulation model, for Level 3 recurring fair value measurements to estimate fair value at each reporting date. The key assumptions used in the models are similar and include the expected future volatility in the price of the Company’s shares, the fair value of the price of the Company’s shares and the expected life of the underlying instrument.

(v) Leases

Leases requires lessees to discount lease payments using the rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily available. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee is required to use its incremental borrowing rate. The Company generally uses the incremental borrowing rate when initially recording real estate leases as the implicit rates are not readily available as information from the lessor regarding the fair value of underlying assets and initial direct costs incurred by the lessor related to the leased assets is not available. The Company determines the incremental borrowing rate as the interest rate the Company would pay to borrow over a similar term the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right‐of‐use asset in a similar economic environment. Leases requires lessees to estimate the lease term. In determining the period which the Company has the right to use an underlying asset, management considers the non‐cancellable period along with all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(vi) Business Combinations

Judgment is used in determining whether an acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition and in determining date of acquisition. Estimates including market based values and appraisal values are used in determining the allocation of the purchase price in a business combination, including any acquisition‐related contingent consideration. The contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” , or IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” , as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognized in profit or loss.

The Company measures all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition‐date fair values. Non‐controlling interests in the acquiree are measured based on the non‐controlling interests’ proportionate share of this equity in the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition‐related costs are recognized as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred, and the services are received (except for the costs to issue debt or equity securities which are recognized according to specific requirements). The excess of the aggregate of (a) the consideration transferred to obtain control and the amount of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree over (b) the net of the acquisition‐date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, is recognized as goodwill as of the acquisition date.

(vii) COVID‐19 outbreak

Since February 2020, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID‐19”, has resulted in a widespread international health crisis that has materially affected economies and financial markets, resulting in the rapid onset of an economic downturn. As a result, the Governments of Canada and the U.S. have instituted various recommendation and laws to help limit its spread. The duration and impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic is unknown at this time. The Company continues to monitor COVID‐19 developments and its production facilities have continued operations.

(viii)Convertible debentures

The identification of convertible note components is based on interpretations of the substance of the contractual arrangement and therefore requires judgment from management. The separation of the components affects the initial recognition of the convertible debenture at issuance and the subsequent recognition of interest on the liability component. The determination of the fair value of the liability is also based on a number of assumptions, including contractual future cash flows, discount rates and the presence of any derivative financial instruments.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

  • (ix) Expected credit loss on note receivable

The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward‐looking basis the expected credit loss associated with its financial assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward‐looking information.

  • (x) Going concern

At each reporting period, management assesses the basis of preparation of the financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with IFRS. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

(xi) Control over Green Standard LLC (collectively, “Green Standard” or “GSI”)

The Company does not have any joint control over GSI or the ability to exert significant influence due to the following reasons:

  • i. The Company does not exert power over the investee

  • ii. The Company is not exposed or have rights to variable returns from involvement with investee; and

  • iii. The Company does not have the ability to use power over the investee to affect the amount of those returns.

The Company leases property (the “Bangor Facility”) to GSI that is used for cultivation and production of medical cannabis. The net profit generated by GSI are allocated based on the following restrictions:

  • (a) 65% of the net profit shall be used to reduce the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Green Standard Note until it is reduced to zero. The remaining 35% of the net profit shall be eligible for distribution to the GSI shareholders

  • (b) Following the note repayment, 50% of the net profit shall be eligible for distribution to the GSI shareholders.

In the event that the Company no longer wishes to continue funding the Green Standard Note:

  • The Green Standard Note will be deemed as settled with no remaining obligations from GSI

  • The Company will have no further obligations to make any future payments to GSI

  • The escrowed shares shall be released to the GSI shareholders

  • The Company shall convey to GSI for no additional consideration, the Bangor Facility and any other tangible assets of the Company or its affiliates located in the State of Michigan.

Cansortium Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31,2021 and 2020 (Amounts expressed in thousands of United States Dollars unless otherwise stated)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

On May 19, 2021, the 1,727,269 restricted common shares to Green Standard shareholders were released from escrow resulting in an increase of $1,677 to its deposit to acquire Green Standard (see Notes 13 and 16 p.). The balance of the shares in deposit as December 31, 2021, representing the amount of the released restricted shares at $1.01 per share, was $2,727.

As at December 31, 2021, the Company has not completed the acquisition of GSI as the accumulated distributions made to the GSI shareholders totaled $277.

(xii) Income taxes and recoverability of potential deferred tax assets

Income taxes and tax exposures recognized in the consolidated financial statements reflect management's best estimate based on facts known at the reporting date. When the Company anticipates a future income tax payment based on its estimates, it recognizes a liability. The difference between the expected amount and the final tax outcome has an impact on current and deferred taxes when the Company becomes aware of this difference. In addition, when the Company incurs losses for income tax purposes, it assesses the probability of taxable income being available in the future based on its budgeted forecasts. These forecasts are adjusted to take into account certain non‐taxable income and expenses and specific rules on the use of unused credits and tax losses. When the forecasts indicate that sufficient future taxable income will be available to deduct the temporary differences, a deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences.

(w) New, amended and future IFRS pronouncements

The following IFRS standards have been recently issued by the IASB. The Company is assessing the impact of these new standards on future consolidated financial statements. Pronouncements that are not applicable or where it has been determined do not have a significant impact to the Company have been excluded herein.

The following is a brief summary of the new standards issued but not yet effective:

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non‐Current

In January 2020, the IASB issued Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non‐Current (“Amendments to IAS 1”). The Amendments to IAS 1 aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non‐current. The Amendments to IAS 1 include clarifying the classification requirements for debt a company might settle by converting it into equity. The Amendments to IAS 1 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with earlier application permitted. The extent of the impact of the adoption of this amendment has not yet been determined.

Amendments to IAS 37: Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract

In May 2020, the IASB issued Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract amending the standard regarding costs a company should include as the cost of fulfilling a contract when assessing whether a contract is onerous. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The extent of the impact of the adoption of this amendment has not yet been determined.

4. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of biological assets for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

**December 31, ** **December 31, ** December 31, December 31,
2021 2020
Balance at beginning of period $ 1,914
$ 3,845
Cost incurred until harvest 14,127 6,856
Effect of unrealized change in fair value of biological assets 14,853 17,516
Transferred to inventoryupon harvest (27,597) (26,303)
Balance at end ofperiod $ 3,297
$ 1,914

As of December 31, 2021, all biological assets were live plants.

The Company measures its biological assets at their fair value less costs to sell. This is determined using a model which estimates the expected harvest yield in grams for plants currently being cultivated, and the expected selling price less costs to sell per gram.

The fair value measurements for biological assets have been categorized as Level 3 in the IFRS 13 fair value hierarchy as there is no actively traded commodity market for plants or dried product. The Company’s method of accounting for biological assets attributes value accretion on a straight‐line basis throughout the life of the biological asset from initial cloning to the point of harvest.

These estimates are subject to volatility in market prices and a number of uncontrollable factors, which could significantly affect the fair value of biological assets which will affect the amount reflected in the gain or loss on biological assets in future periods.

The following table quantifies each significant unobservable input, and provides the impact a 10% increase or decrease in each input would have on the fair value of biological assets:

Assumptions: As at December 31, 2021 As at December 31, 2021 As at December 31, 2020 As at December 31, 2020
(i) Weighted average of expected loss of plants until harvest (a) Input 10% Change Input 10% Change
27% $64 25% $33
(ii) Expected yields for cannabis plants (average grams per plant) (b) 45 $330 13 $191
(iii) Weighted average number of growing weeks completed as percentage
of total growing weeks as at period end
27% $330 50% $191
(iv) Estimated selling price per gram (c) $10.14 $338 $10.81 $94
(v) Cost to sell per gram per flower and trim, respectively $6.88 $2.09 $63 $4.83
  • (a) Weighted average of expected loss of plants until harvest represents the expected loss of plants that will not survive to the point of harvest. It does not include any financial loss on a surviving plant.

  • (b) Expected average yields for cannabis plants vary based on the mix of strains existing at each reporting date.

  • (c) The estimated selling price per gram represents the actual sales price for the Company’s various strains sold as retail products. The selling price is impacted by the mix of expected THC levels from the plants.

4. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS (Continued)

The Company estimates the harvest yields for cannabis at various stages of growth. As of December 31, 2021, it is expected that the Company’s biological assets will yield approximately 2,287,825 grams of dry cannabis when harvested (2020 – 1,345,701 grams).

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had 69,627 and 85,268 plants that were classified as biological assets, respectively.

5. NOTE RECEIVABLE

In connection with the Company’s agreement entered into in October 2018 with Green Standard Holdings LLC, Green Standard Cultivation LLC and Green Standard, Inc. (collectively, “Green Standard” or “GSI”) to acquire the assets of Green Standard (see Notes 10 and 16 o.), the Company entered into a line of credit note with GSI (the “Green Standard Note”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to make advances to Green Standard in connection with the Michigan cultivation and operational expenses in an aggregate principal amount, not to exceed at any one time, up to $14,700.

The Green Standard Note initially bear interest at a rate of 2.7% per annum and is payable no later than the earlier of three years from the Green Standard Note issuance date.

On May 19, 2020, in conjunction with the amending agreement to acquire GSI, the Company amended the terms of the Green Standard Note to reduce the principal amount available not to exceed at any one‐time outstanding balances of $7,500 and to increase the interest rate to 5% per annum.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Green Standard Note receivable for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, is as follows:

December 31, December 31, December 31, December 31,
2021 2020
Balance at beginning of year $ 4,101 3,870
Advances 1,938 1,647
Payments (1,419) (372)
Interest 266 242
Reserve for expected credit losses - (1,286)
Balance at end ofyear $ 4,886 $ 4,101

The expected loss rate is based on the likelihood of the completion of the acquisition of GSI, the recovery of the note receivable amount against the expected GSI net profit, and any historical credit losses experienced within the period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward‐looking information on macroeconomic factors such as changes in market interest rates and market default rates in similar jurisdictions, for similar entities, with similar credit facilities affecting the ability to settle the Green Standard Note receivable. The Green Standard Note receivable was considered to have low credit risk, and the loss allowance recognized during the year was therefore limited to 12 months’ expected losses. Management considered an equivalent CCC rating for the Green Standard Note receivable.

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded expected credit loss adjustment of $0 and $1,286, respectively, related to the Green Standard Note receivable. Interest income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, was $266 and $188, respectively.

10. DEPOSIT (INVESTMENT) (Continued)

On May 19, 2020, the Company amended and restated the abovementioned agreement pursuant to which Cansortium Michigan, LLC, the Company's indirect wholly‐owned subsidiary, intends to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Green Standard. Under the amended terms, Green Standard shareholders will receive $10 million in aggregate consideration to consist of common shares and proportionate voting shares exchangeable into an aggregate of 2,727,269 common shares of the Company, which were escrowed until May 15, 2021, plus cash consideration for the difference between the fair value of a common share (as valued per the agreement) and total purchase price of $10,000,000 to be generated by profits from Green Standard's Michigan business. The same number of shares of the Company that were previously issued to Green Standard shareholders and subject to vesting conditions were returned to treasury for cancellation and removal of the equity price guarantee that existed as through May 19, 2021. The balance of the shares in deposit as of December 31, 2020, representing the amount of restricted shares at $0.39 per share, was $1,050. During the year ended December 31, 2020, a loss of investment of $153 was recognized for the Company’s share of loss in Green Standard.

11. GOODWILL

Goodwill as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $1,526, respectively.

Annual impairment testing involves determining the recoverable amount of the CGU’s to which goodwill and indefinite life intangibles are allocated and comparing this to the carrying value of the CGU. The carrying value of the indefinite life intangibles as at December 31, 2021 is $93,256. The value in use of the CGU was calculated using a discounted cash flow model and level 3 inputs. The value in use was determined to be greater than the CGUs’ carrying value, therefore the Company did not further assess the fair value less costs of disposal of the CGU. The key assumptions used in the estimates of the recoverable amounts are described below:

  • Cash flows were projected based on the Company's long‐term business plan. The business plan contains forecasts based on actual operating results in conjunction with anticipated future growth opportunities, as well as industry and market trends. The forecasts were extended to a total of five years (with a terminal year thereafter). Revenue annual growth rate of 6% was based on new stores opening over the next few years (2020 – 5%).

  • The terminal growth rate of 3% was based on historical and projected industry data (2020 – 2%).

  • The pre‐tax discount rate applied in determining the recoverable amount of the CGU was 25.5% (2020 – 28%). The discount rates were estimated based on past experience and the weighted average cost of capital of each CGU, other competitors in the industry and adjusted for risks in the cash flow.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have an impairment to its goodwill and indefinite life intangibles.

Cansortium Inc. intends to be treated as a United States corporation for United States federal income tax purposes under section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code and is expected to be subject to United States federal income tax. However, for Canadian tax purposes, Cansortium Inc. is expected, regardless of any application of section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code, to be treated as a Canadian resident company (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ITA”) for Canadian income tax purposes. As a result, Cansortium Inc. will be subject to taxation both in Canada and the United States.

As a result of the acquisition of the units of Cansortium Holdings, LLC on March 22, 2019 the Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with IAS 12 ‐ Income Taxes, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based upon anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying values of assets and liabilities and the respective tax bases. As a result of the transaction, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $22,285 with a corresponding adjustment to equity during the year ended December 31, 2019.

All income prior to this acquisition was taxed directly to the unitholders of Cansortium Holdings, LLC, as a pass‐ through entity. Accordingly, no income tax assets or liabilities were recognized for the period from January 1, 2019 to March 22, 2019.

The Company has unused tax losses and other attributes of $7,481 and $7,673 in various foreign jurisdictions for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $12,643 of capital loss carryforwards in the United States as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. No deferred tax asset has been recognized as the utilization of these losses and other tax attributes is not likely in the future.

Price Guarantees are recorded as a liability measured at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position. In determining the fair value of the price guarantee, these liabilities are marked–to–market at each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss.

Fluent Servicing Acquisition

In connection with the acquisition of the remaining interest of Fluent Servicing on August 15, 2018, the Company issued 4,400,000 membership interest units of Cansortium Holdings LLC that were exchanged into 4,400,000 common shares of Cansortium subject to a price floor of $2.75 (“Equity Price Guarantee”), expiring on March 21, 2021.

On January 16, 2020, the Company completed the restructuring of its existing promissory note issued in connection with the acquisition of Fluent Servicing (see Note 14 (b)), as well as the terms pertaining to the Equity Price Guarantee, reducing the price floor from $2.75 to $0.65 per share for the 4,400,000 common shares originally issued and agreeing to transfer to the seller, Can Endeavour LLC (“Can Endeavour”) an additional 14,215,385 common shares (or equivalent proportionate voting shares) that were previously returned by the Company’s founders, subject to a price floor of $0.65 per share which expires on May 23, 2023.

The Company used a Monte‐Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the Equity Price Guarantee derivative liability. This is a Level 3 recurring fair value measurement. The key Level 3 inputs used by management to determine the fair value are the expected future volatility in the price of the Company’s shares and the expected life of the Equity Price Guarantee. The Company believes that a 1 % difference in the inputs used for this fair value measurement would not cause a material difference to the fair value amount.

13. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES (Continued)

On May 6, 2021, the Company satisfied its obligations under the Amended Note payable dated January 16, 2020 (see Note 14 (b)), in the principal amount of $12,933 to Can Endeavour. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Note, Can Endeavour elected to convert the principal amount of the Amended Note into 21,555,483 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.60 per share. The common shares have been issued by the Company to Can Endeavour and all accrued interest on the Amended Note has been repaid in cash. Accordingly, the Company has satisfied its obligations under the Amended Note.

The following assumptions were used to value the Equity Price Guarantee derivative liability using the Monte‐ Carlo simulation model as of April 30, 2021, March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2021 and 2020:

December 31, April 30, March 31, December 31,
2021 2021 2021 2020
Volatility 75.00% 116.02% 117.46% 100.00%
Risk-free interest rate 0.91% 0.29% 0.23% 0.20%
Expected life (years) 1.4 years 2.1 years 2.2 years 2.5 years
Share price $0.66 $1.07 $0.76 $0.76
Exercise price $0.65 $0.65 $0.65 $0.65

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a gain of $3,452 and $2,253, respectively, on the revaluation of the Equity Price Guarantee derivative liability.

Green Standard

In connection with the agreement to buy the shares of Green Standard on October 5, 2018, (see Note 16 o., Note 10) and amended on January 1, 2019, the Company issued 2,727,269 of shares of Cansortium Inc. valued at $2.75 per unit and subject to a price floor of $2.75 (“GSI Equity Price Guarantee”). The agreement was amended and restated on May 19, 2020, to, among other things, eliminate the GSI Equity Price Guarantee.

The Company used a Black‐Scholes simulation model to estimate fair value of the GSI Equity Price Guarantee derivative liability. This is a Level 3 recurring fair value measurement. The key Level 3 inputs used by management to determine the fair value are the expected future volatility in the price of the Company’s shares and the expected life of the GSI Equity Price Guarantee and recorded the change in fair value of the derivative liability of $2,596 in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss at issuance date. The Company believes that a 1% difference in the inputs used for this fair value measurement would not cause a material difference to the fair value amount.

The following range of assumptions were used to value the GSI Equity Price Guarantee derivative liability as of May 21, 2020:

May 21,
2020
Volatility 100.00%
Risk-free interest rate 0.17%
Expected life (years) 0.61 years
Share price $0.39

The common shares have been issued by the Company to Can Endeavour and all accrued interest on the Amended Note has been repaid in cash. Accordingly, the Company has satisfied its obligations under the Amended Note (See Note 13 and 16 n.). The carrying value of the notes payable at conversion was $12,675. This amount was transferred to common shares and $3,565 was reclassified from the equity conversion feature reserve.

(c) Convertible Debentures ‐ $10M Convertible Debenture

On February 15, 2019, the Company issued a series of convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $10,000 in exchange for cash proceeds of $10,000 (the “$10M Convertible Note”). In connection with the issuance of the $10M Convertible Note, the Company paid cash of $600 for debt issuance fees. The debt issuance fees were subsequently expensed in the period.

On August 15, 2020, the Company extended the maturity date of the $10M Convertible Note to December 31, 2020, and issued 4,361,071 common shares of the Company at a deemed value in accordance with the convertible note agreement of $0.45 per common share in satisfaction of all unpaid interest on the $10M Convertible Note accrued up to August 15, 2020, in the amount of $1,962. The Company also agreed to pay an extension fee equivalent to 1% of the total principal amount and accrued interest outstanding on the $10M Convertible Note as of August 15, 2020, satisfied by the Company through the issuance of 265,824 common shares of the Company at $0.45 per share to the noteholders on a pro‐rata basis, recorded as interest expense in the statement of loss and other comprehensive loss (see Note 16 h.).

14. NOTES PAYABLE (Continued)

On May 7, 2021, the Company exercised its right to redeem the maximum of $5 million of the $10 million Convertible Notes. As a result of this redemption, the aggregate principal amount that remained outstanding on the $10M Convertible Notes was $5 million. The redemption resulted in a gain on early repayment of $42.

Under the terms of the $10M Convertible Note, the Company had the right to force the conversion of all amounts outstanding thereunder upon the Company share price closing at $0.96 or greater for thirty consecutive trading days with an average trading volume over that period of at least 100,000 shares. On June 28, 2021, the Company exercised its right under the $10M Convertible Note to force the conversion of the remaining outstanding balance of the $10M Convertible Note into common shares of the Company. As a result, all obligations under the $10M Convertible Note have been satisfied and are thus cancelled (See Note 16 p.). The carrying value of the remaining note was $5,094 on the date of conversion. This amount was transferred to common shares upon conversion along with $2,546 which was reclassified from the equity conversion feature reserve.

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded interest expense of $508 and $1,376 and accretion expense of $0 and $3,083, respectively.

(d) Convertible Debentures ‐ $27M Convertible Debenture

On May 23, 2019, the Company issued secured convertible debentures (“Secured Convertible Debentures”) in exchange for gross proceeds of $27,144, bearing interest of 12% per annum, with quarterly 6% interest payments of remaining accrued interest paid at the maturity date of 24 months from issuance. The holders of the Secured Convertible Debentures may convert the principal amount into shares of the Company at a price of $2.10 per share. At the subscription of the Secured Convertible Debentures, each investor was also issued 292 common share purchase warrants for each one thousand dollars of the principal amount from $25,144 of the total gross proceeds, to purchase of shares at an exercise price of $2.40 per share at any time prior to March 21, 2021.

At the subscription of the Secured Convertible Debentures, each investor was also issued a warrant (“Warrant Shares”) to purchase shares of the Company. The total number of Subscription Warrants issued were 7,342,048. The holders of the Warrant Shares convert the principal amount into shares of the Company at a price of $2.40 per share. These Subscription Warrants were issued based on the original amount invested into the Secured Convertible Debentures. The Subscription Warrants expired on May 23, 2021 .

In connection with the issuance of the Secured Convertible Debentures, the Company paid cash of $1,172 for debt issuance fees.

The Agent received a cash fee equal to 4% of the gross receipt of the debenture issued in the offering. The Agent received 478,933 options at an exercise price of $2.10 any time until May 23, 2021. Each broker warrant entitles the holder to acquire one conversion unit at an exercise price of $2.10 any time until May 23, 2021.

On April 29, 2021, with the proceeds from the $71 Million Senior Secured Term Loan, the Company repaid in full the Convertible Debenture. This early repayment resulted in the recognition of a loss on early repayment of $235.

14. NOTES PAYABLE (Continued)

(e) Senior Secured Term Loan (the “Term Loan”)

On April 29, 2021, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Term Loan in the amount of $71,000. The Term Loan bears interest of 13% per annum, payable quarterly, with a maturity date of April 29, 2025. In connection with the transaction, 12.5 million warrants with an exercise price of $1.20 were issued to certain participants in the Term Loan (See Note 16 m.). Subject to certain conditions of the Term Loan, the Company has the ability to prepay the Term Loan as well as to increase the Term Loan by up to $20 million. The Company assessed the prepayment option and determined that it is closely related as the exercise price of the option approximates the amortized cost of the note, and as such did not recognize a derivative instrument. The warrants had a down‐round protection feature applicable for the first 60 days after the issuance of the warrants, which reduced the exercise price in the event the Company issued shares during the period for less than the exercise price. As a result, the warrants failed fixed‐for‐fixed criteria and were accounted for as a derivative liability for the first 60 days accounted for at FVTPL. The Company valued the warrants at $11,207 based on the following assumptions used in the Black‐Scholes model: exercise price of $1.20, underlying share price of $1.20, expected life of 4 years, risk‐free interest rate of 0.77% and annualized volatility of 113%.

The Company incurred a total of $4,944 of transactions in relation to the Term Loan. The Company allocated $4,164 of transaction costs to the debt and immediately expensed $780 allocated to the warrants. The fair value of the debt component was measured as the residual value of $52,659 following the deduction of the warrants value and the transaction costs from the total proceeds received of $68,030.

As part of the Term Loan, the Company is required to be in compliance with the following financial covenants:

  • Minimum liquidity of $2,500 as at December 31, 2021.

  • Minimum debt service coverage ratio of 2.0x.

On June 28, 2021, the down‐round protection feature expired triggering the warrants to meet fixed‐for‐fixed criteria and the Company accounted for the warrants as equity instruments. The Company revalued the warrants at $9,018 with a gain of $2,189 recognized on the change in fair value and reclassified the outstanding balance to warrants in equity. The Company valued the warrants at $9,018 based on the following assumptions used in the Black‐Scholes model: exercise price of $1.20, underlying share price of $1.01, expected life of 3.84 years, risk‐free interest rate of 0.87% and annualized volatility of 113%.

As at December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with its covenants.

(f) Equipment Loan

The common shares’ fair value was $431 based on the fair value per share of $0.345 on August 11, 2020.

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(a) Contingencies

The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of local and state regulation. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on its operations, or losses of permits that could result in the Company ceasing operations. While management of the Company believes that the Company is in compliance with applicable local and state regulation as of December 31, 2021, medical marijuana regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations. As a result, the Company may be subject to regulatory fines, penalties, or restrictions in the future.

(b) Claims and Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2021, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s operations, except for the claims disclosed below. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.

On April 26, 2021, MXY Holdings, LLC and its affiliates (collectively "MXY") filed suit in Florida claiming breach by the Company of the Management Services Agreement ("MSA") in an amount not less than $2,500. The terms of the MSA provided MXY with a fee for management consulting services, which services were supposed to include the creation and implementation of management plans and solutions, the provision of MXY personnel with industry expertise, and intellectual property. MXY's refusal or inability to materially deliver on its obligations prompted the Company to consider termination of the MSA and the Company sent MXY a default notice on July 8, 2020.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivable, note receivable, deposits, trade payable and accrued liabilities, derivative liabilities, lease obligations and notes payable.

Financial Assets

  • (i) Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of deposits held in financial institutions and cash on hand.

Financial Liabilities

  • (i) Loans are non‐derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, which are classified as non‐current assets.

  • (ii) Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise convertible notes payable that are convertible to share capital at either the option of the holder or upon consummation of a qualifying go‐ public transaction. The liability component of the compound financial instruments is initially recognized as the difference between the fair value of the derivative liability (i.e., conversion feature) and the fair value of the convertible notes payable. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and the derivate liability is re‐measured with subsequent changes in fair value.

  • (iii) Other financial liabilities include the Company's trade payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable . The effective interest method is used to calculate the amortized cost of a financial liability and allocates interest income over the corresponding period. The effective interest rate is the rate that is used to discount estimated future cash receipts or payments over the expected life of the financial asset or liability.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the reliability of the inputs to fair value measurements. The three levels of hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices 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.

There have been no transfers between fair value levels during the year.

The carrying values of financial instruments at December 31, 2021 are summarized in the following table:

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

Financial Risk Management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board mitigates these risks by assessing, monitoring, and approving the Company’s risk management processes:

(a) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure as of December 31, 2021 is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivable and note receivable. All cash is placed with major U.S. financial institutions. Credit risk from due from trade receivable and note receivable arises from the possibility that amounts due become uncollectible.

(b) Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the future cash flows or the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market conditions.

(i) Other Price Risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk. The Company is not

significantly exposed to other price risk with respect to its financial instruments, as their fair values and future cash flows are not impacted materially by fluctuations in market prices.

(ii) Currency Risk

The consolidated operating results and consolidated financial position of the Company are reported in U.S. dollars. Some of the Company’s financial transactions are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks.

As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time as it deems its foreign currency exposure to be nominal.

(iii) 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. The Company’s financial debts have fixed rates of interest and therefore expose the Company to a limited interest rate fair value risk.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

(c) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due.

(d) Regulatory Risk

Notwithstanding that most of the states have legalized medical marijuana, there has been no change in U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the marijuana industry. Given that U.S. federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there is a strong argument that banks cannot accept for deposit funds from businesses involved with the marijuana industry. Consequently, businesses involved in the marijuana industry often have difficulty accessing the U.S. banking system and traditional financing sources. The inability to open bank accounts with certain institutions may make it difficult to operate the businesses of the Company and leaves their cash holdings vulnerable.

Because the cannabis industry remains illegal under U.S. federal law, any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry which are either used in the course of conducting such business, or are the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture. Even if the owner of the property was never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which, with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.

The Company manages its capital structure in accordance with changes in economic conditions. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may elect to issue or repay financial liabilities, issue shares, repurchase shares, pay dividends or undertake any other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis. There were no material changes to this approach during the year ended December 31, 2021.

22. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 29, 2022, the Company completed non‐brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) that includes a 10.0% unsecured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $3,500 (“the Debenture”), as well as 3,076,923 pre‐funded common share purchase warrants (each a “Pre‐Funded Warrant”) at a price of US$0.39 per Pre‐Funded Warrant, for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,700. The Debenture will come due in 2032 and is convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.79 per common share. Each Pre‐Funded Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one common share at an additional exercise price of $0.40 per common share (for a total common share issue price equal to $0.79) for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance.

23. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company discontinued its operations from Cansortium Colombia S.A.S (“Cansortium Colombia”) and Cansortium Puerto Rico LLC (“Cansortium Puerto Rico”), as well as those for 1931074 Ontario, Inc, Cansortium Canada Servicing Inc., Cansortium Property Holdings Inc., and Arcadia EcoEnergies, Ltd.
