GABY INC.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in Canadian dollars)
April 29, 2022
Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Gaby Inc. and all information in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are the responsibility of management and have been approved by the Board of Directors. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and, where appropriate, reflect management’s best estimates and judgments. Management is responsible for the accuracy, integrity, and objectivity of the consolidated financial statements within reasonable limits of materiality and has ensured consistency with the financial information presented elsewhere in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
To assist management in the discharge of these responsibilities, the Corporation has established an organizational structure that provides appropriate delegation of authority, division of responsibilities, and selection and training of properly qualified personnel. Management is also responsible for the development of internal controls over the financial reporting process.
The Board of Directors is assisted in exercising its responsibilities through the Audit Committee of the Board, which is composed of a majority of independent directors. The Committee meets regularly with management and the independent auditors to satisfy itself that management’s responsibilities are properly discharged and to review the financial statements. The Audit Committee reports its findings to the Board of Directors for consideration in approving the consolidated financial statements for presentation to the shareholders. The external auditors have direct access to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
The consolidated financial statements have been audited independently by Davidson & Company on behalf of the shareholders in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Their report outlines the nature of their audits and expresses their opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of Gaby Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Gaby Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency), 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, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years 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 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 in our audit 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 incurred a net loss of $12.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 and, as of that date, has a working capital deficit was $7.3 million. As stated in Note 1, these events and conditions indicate that material uncertainties exist that 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 obtained at the date of this auditor's report includes 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, 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.
Auditor's 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 auditor's 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 auditor's 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 auditor's 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 Company 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.
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 auditor’s report is Dylan Connelly.

NATURE OF BUSINESS
GABY Inc. (“GABY” or "the Corporation") is incorporated in Canada under the Business Corporations Act of Alberta. The Corporation’s registered office is 200, 209 – 8th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta T2P 1B8, Canada and it trades on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol GABY and on the OTCQB under the symbol GABLF. The Corporation has a retail focus and is the owner of the Mankind dispensary in San Diego, California. GABY packages and/or markets, for its own proprietary brands as well as for third parties, a variety of cannabis products including: flower, concentrates, pre‐rolls, edibles, topicals, tinctures, and other products derived from or infused with cannabis or hemp. As of the end of March 2020, GABY’s business is focused in the United States of America (“USA”). Prior to March 2020, GABY also produced and marketed health food products in the USA and Canada (see Note 26 in respect of the shuttering of traditional food operations) and prior to April 1, 2019, this comprised substantially all of the Corporation’s business activity. Thereafter, through acquisitions, the Corporation now produces, markets, and sells at retail, cannabis‐related consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) in California.
1) GOING CONCERN
These consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (“Financial Statements”) have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due.
During 2021, the Corporation continued to implement its strategy of raising equity financing, growing its portfolio of business holdings via acquisition and providing working capital to fund operations as needed.
Substantially all of the Corporation’s operations are in the USA cannabis sector, which has been legalized by certain USA states but remains federally illegal and is subject to legislative uncertainty.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Corporation had a net loss of $12.2 million (including non‐cash losses) and minimal cash flow from operations. As at December 31, 2021 the working capital deficit was $7.3 million. Management is continuing to address the need to increase revenue and control costs, which included the shuttering of an unprofitable subsidiary, Sonoma Pacific Distribution. Management has in the past obtained financing by accessing the capital markets as described in Note 20 to the Financial Statements. Management believes these activities, in conjunction with prudent management of working capital, will enable GABY to support operations over the next year and beyond.
Historically the Corporation has had operating losses, negative cash flows from operations and working capital deficiencies. While the Corporation expects to be able to reduce these losses by prudent management of its operations, whether, and when, the Corporation can attain profitability and positive cash flows from operations is uncertain. These uncertainties cast significant doubt upon the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern.
As such, the Corporation may need to raise additional capital to continue to pursue its growth strategy and to fund its operations. While the Corporation has been successful in raising capital in the past, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. The ability to raise capital may be adversely impacted by uncertain market conditions.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
Should the Corporation be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they come due. These Financial Statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if the Corporation were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operation. These adjustments could be material.
2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance
These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee.
These Financial Statements were approved and authorized for issue by the audit committee of the Corporation’s board of directors (“Board”) on April 26, 2022.
Basis of presentation
These Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value, and are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated. Other measurement bases used are outlined below and in the applicable notes.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Basis of consolidation
The Financial Statements include the accounts of the Corporation and those of its subsidiaries, which are entities over which the Corporation has control. Control exists when the Corporation has power over an investee, is exposed to or has rights to variable returns from its involvement and has the ability to affect those returns. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation. The results of operation of subsidiaries acquired during the period are included from their respective dates of acquisition, being the time at which the Corporation obtains control. The Corporation assesses control through share ownership and voting rights. The following companies have been consolidated in the Financial Statements:

1Sonoma Pac was dissolved on March 31, 2022 (see Note 36) 2. KJM was dissolved on September 24, 2020.
Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized gains or losses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the Financial Statements.
Changes in accounting policies including initial adoption
The Corporation adopted or expanded accounting policies in 2021 relating to deferred revenue and income taxes as a result of them becoming applicable upon the acquisition of MPS and WWI, which are included in the policies below.
Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Corporation. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, along with identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognized in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlements of pre‐existing relationships; such amounts are generally included in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured, and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, other contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in profit or loss.
Translation of foreign currencies
a. Transactions and balances
The accounts of the Corporation are presented in Canadian dollars. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the actual rates of exchange on the date the transaction occurred. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the Canadian dollar at the exchange rate at that date. Revenue and expense transactions are translated using the actual rate on the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange differences
12 | P a g e G A B Y I n c .
GABY INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
arising on translation are recognized in profit or loss. Non‐monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at the historical cost, and expenses related to them, are translated using the historical exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
b. Subsidiaries
Items included in the Financial Statements of each entity in the Corporation are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”) and has been determined for each entity within the Corporation.
Where foreign operations are carried out as an extension of the reporting entity, rather than being carried out with a significant degree of autonomy, and the foreign entity does not generate revenue, the functional currency of the foreign subsidiary is determined to be the Canadian dollar. Accordingly, the translation of the subsidiary from foreign currencies to Canadian dollars is accounted for as a translation to the functional currency as described above.
Where foreign operations are carried out with a significant degree of autonomy and generate revenue, the functional currency is different than the presentation currency and its results and financial position are translated into Canadian dollars as follows:

assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position
-
income and expenses for each statement of income or loss and statement of comprehensive income or loss are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and
-
all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate as described above.
Cash
Cash consists of cash on hand and balances with financial institutions. Cash in bank deposit accounts, at times, exceeds federally insured limits. Cash that is unavailable for use by the Corporation as at the date of the statement of financial position is presented separately as Restricted cash.

Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of manufactured inventories is based on the first‐in first‐out method. The cost of procured finished goods and unprocessed raw material inventory is based on weighted average cost. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. The cost of inventories includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset or its development when those costs are necessarily incurred for the asset to function in the manner intended by management. When parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property and equipment.
All assets having limited useful lives are depreciated using the straight‐line method over their estimated useful lives. Internally constructed assets are depreciated from the time an asset is capable of operating in the manner intended by management. No depreciation is recorded on property and equipment that is not available for use.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Corporation, and the costs can be measured reliably. This would include costs related to the refurbishment or replacement of major components of the asset, when the refurbishment results in a significant extension in the physical life of the component, and in which case, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day‐to‐day maintenance of property and equipment are expensed as incurred in profit or loss.
Any gain or loss on de‐recognition of an asset is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property and equipment and is recognized on a net basis in profit or loss.
The residual value, useful life and depreciation method applied to each class of assets are reassessed at each reporting date. The methods of depreciation and depreciation rates applicable for each class of asset are as follows:
| Computer equipment | 2‐3 years Straight‐line |
|---|---|
| Office and other equipment | 4‐5 years Straight‐line |
| Furniture and fixtures | 5 years Straight‐line |
| Production equipment | 5 years Straight‐line |
| Vehicles | 3‐5 years Straight‐line |
Depreciation of leasehold improvements is recorded over the remaining term of the lease plus the first renewal option.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost on initial recognition. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if applicable.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year‐end. The methods of amortization and amortization rates applicable for each class of asset are as follows:
Cannabis licenses 10 years Straight‐line
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized and are tested for impairment annually at the cash‐ generating unit (“CGU”) level. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable.
In previous years, the life of cannabis licenses was determined to be indefinite. All of the intangible assets with useful lives assessed as indefinite have been fully impaired and disposed by December 31, 2021. In 2021, the licenses acquired were determined to be of finite life given the uncertainty in the industry and regulatory environment. Management’s estimate of the useful life of cannabis licenses acquired in 2021 is ten years.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for the acquisition of subsidiaries over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to CGU or groups of CGUs which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment.
Leases
At inception of a contract, the Corporation assesses whether the contract is, or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Corporation allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand‐alone prices. However, for the leases of production equipment and land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Corporation has elected not to separate non‐lease components and account for the lease and non‐lease components as a single lease component.
The Corporation recognizes a right‐of‐use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right‐of‐use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments
15 | P a g e G A B Y I n c .
GABY INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentive received.
The right‐of‐use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight‐line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right‐of‐use asset or the end of the lease term unless it is reasonably certain that the Corporation will purchase or receive title to the asset at or before the end of the lease term, in which case the asset is depreciated over its useful life regardless of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right‐of use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right‐of‐use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Corporation’s incremental borrowing rate.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Corporation’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Corporation changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right‐of‐use assets or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right‐of‐use assets has been reduced to nil.
The Corporation presents right‐of‐use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in property and equipment and lease liabilities separately in the statement of financial position.
The Corporation has elected not to recognize right‐of‐use assets and lease liabilities for short‐term leases of assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low value assets including information technology equipment. The Corporation recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight‐line basis over the lease term.
Impairment
a. Financial assets at amortized cost
An ‘expected credit loss’ impairment model applies, which requires a loss allowance to be recognized based on expected credit losses. The estimated present value of future cash flows associated with the asset is determined and an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between this amount and the carrying amount as follows: the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to estimated present value of the future cash flows associated with the asset, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, either directly or through the use of an allowance account. The resulting loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period.
16 | P a g e G A B Y I n c .
GABY INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
In a subsequent period, if the amount of the impairment loss related to financial assets measured at amortized cost decreases, the previously‐recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
b. Non‐financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Corporation’s non‐financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets or CGU. The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less cost of disposal (“FVLCD”). In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre‐tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or the CGU. Impairment losses recognized in prior years are reviewed by the Corporation at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An asset’s carrying amount, increased through the reversal of an impairment loss, must not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Corporation becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred and the Corporation has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Corporation classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”), or at amortized cost. The Corporation determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Corporation’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the date of acquisition the Corporation can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument‐by‐instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or the Corporation has opted to measure them at FVTPL.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
The Corporation classifies the fair value of financial instruments according to the following hierarchy based on the reliability of observable inputs used to value the instrument.
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1. Prices in Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace.
Level 3 – Valuations in this level are those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The Corporation’s financial instruments include cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other current asset, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, short‐term notes payable, promissory notes payable, convertible debentures, lease liabilities, and long‐term debt. The carrying value of current financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their immediate or short term to maturity, or their ability to be liquidated at comparable amounts. The fair value of the Corporation’s non‐current financial instruments is approximated by their carrying values as the contractual interest rates are comparable to current market interest rates.
The Corporation has made the following classifications:
a. Receivables
Receivables are non‐derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. The Corporation’s receivables are comprised of trade and other receivables and are included in current assets due to their short‐term nature. Receivables are initially recognized at the amount expected to be received less, when material, a discount to reduce the receivables to fair value. Subsequently, receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any provision for impairment.
b. Financial liabilities at amortized cost
Financial liabilities at amortized cost include bank indebtedness, trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities, short‐term notes payable, promissory notes payable, lease liabilities, and long‐term debt. Trade payables are initially recognized at the amount required to be paid less, when material, a discount to reduce the payables to fair value. Subsequently, trade payables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Other financial liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value net of transaction costs that are directly attributable to the financial liability, and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
c. Compound financial instruments
Convertible debentures, where applicable, are separated into their liability and equity components using the effective interest rate method. The fair value of the liability component at the time of issue was determined based on an estimated interest rate of the debentures without the conversion feature. The fair value of the equity components is determined as the difference between the proceeds received on the issuance of convertible debentures and accompanying equity components and the fair value of the liability component. The total fair value of the equity components is apportioned to the individual equity components based on the relative fair values thereof on the date of issuance as determined using the Black‐Scholes option pricing model. The liability component, net of transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial liability, is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Interest related to the financial liability is recognized in profit or loss. On conversion, the financial liability and amount attributable to the conversion feature previously recognized as contributed surplus is reclassified to equity and no gain or loss is recognized.
d. Warrants
Warrants that have been issued in combination with common shares or convertible instruments are evaluated under IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation . Equity classification applies to instruments where a fixed amount of cash (or liability) denominated in the issuer’s functional currency is exchanged for a fixed number of shares (often referred to as the “fixed for fixed” criteria). Warrants that are classified as equity are valued under the Black Scholes Model. If a warrant is exercised, the value of the warrant is included in share capital. If a warrant expires, the value of the warrant is included in contributed surplus.
Accounting for government assistance
The Company applied IAS 20 – Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance in relation to receiving the Canada and US government assistance loans and related advances in 2020. Government assistance is recognized only when there is reasonable assurance that (a) the Company will comply with any conditions attached to the grant and (b) the grant will be received. Government assistance income is recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes the expense for the related costs for which the grants and/or subsidies are intended to compensate, if applicable. If the assistance does not relate to any specific expenditures or asset purchases, the income is recognized in full once the recognition criteria are met.
Income taxes
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted, or substantively enacted, at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years or uncertain tax positions, as discussed below.
19 | P a g e G A B Y I n c .
GABY INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
In general, deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined on a non‐discounted basis using tax rate and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial statement date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset or liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the assets can be recovered. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non‐ current.
As the Corporation operates in the cannabis industry, it is subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E under which the Corporation is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to the cost of products or services sold.
The Corporation applies IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over income tax treatments , which is reflected in the following accounting Policy:
The Corporation recognizes uncertain income tax positions using a probability‐weighted approach to determine the amount that is more‐likely‐than‐not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Recognition or measurement is reflected in the period in which the likelihood changes. Any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax liabilities are presented within income tax expense.
Loss per common share
Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is calculated by dividing the applicable net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued during the period. If the Corporation incurs a net loss during a reporting period, the calculation of fully diluted loss per share will not include potentially dilutive equity instruments which would reduce the net loss per share.
Revenue recognition
Revenue from the sale of products is recognized when the risks and rewards of the products have been substantially transferred to the customer (usually on delivery of the goods), which is the Corporation's sole performance obligation. The Corporation experiences few product returns and, accordingly, does not record a provision for estimated returns.
Marketing programs provided to customers and operators, including volume rebates, cooperative advertising and other trade marketing programs, are all customer‐specific programs to promote the Corporation’s products. Consequently, sales are recorded net of these estimated marketing costs at the time of sale. All other non‐customer‐specific marketing costs (general advertising, etc.) are expensed as incurred as selling, general and administrative expenses.
a. Deferred revenue
The Corporation records deferred revenue for rewards points earned by customers at time of product sales and recognizes
20 | P a g e G A B Y I n c .
GABY INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
the amounts as revenue when those points are redeemed. Rewards points expire after one year and are recognized as revenue upon expiry. The Corporation also includes outstanding gift cards in deferred revenue.
Share‐based payments
The Corporation has a share option plan which permits the Board to grant options to acquire common shares of the Corporation at an exercise price that is equal to or greater than the market price of the common shares on the date of the grant. The Corporation also has a restricted share unit (“RSU”) plan which permits the Board to grant RSUs which, upon vesting, grant to the holder the right to receive either shares or cash (based on the value of those shares) at the discretion of the Board. Share‐based payments to employees, executives and non‐employee directors are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized as compensation expense over the vesting periods with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus.
Share‐based payments to non‐employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined that fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to:
Contributed surplus ‐ in the case of stock options and RSUs;
Share issuance obligation ‐ in the case of an obligation to issue a set amount of shares in the future; and Share capital ‐ where common shares are awarded directly.
The fair value of share options is determined using the Black‐Scholes option pricing model. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
Consideration paid on the exercise of options is credited to share capital and the associated amount in contributed surplus is reclassified to share capital. When shares are issued pursuant to the share issuance obligations, the corresponding amount is reclassified from share issuance obligation to share capital.
For equity instruments issued in advance of the services being provided, the share capital would be recognized when issued, with a corresponding prepaid expense asset for the portion of services yet to be received.
Critical accounting estimates, judgments and measurement uncertainty
The preparation of these Financial Statements requires management of the Corporation to make judgments in applying accounting policies. Judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Financial Statements are described below. Management also makes assumptions and critical estimates. Critical estimates are those which are most subject to uncertainty and have the most significant risk of resulting in a material change to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next year. Judgments, assumptions, and estimates are based on historical experience, business trends, and all available information that management considers relevant at the time of the preparation of the Financial Statements. However, future events and their effects cannot be anticipated with certainty;
21 | P a g e G A B Y I n c .
GABY INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
accordingly, as confirming events occur, actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
The following discusses the most significant accounting judgments and estimates that the Corporation has made in the preparation of these Financial Statements. The sensitivity analysis below should be used with caution as the changes are hypothetical and the impact of changes in each key assumption may not be linear.
a. Going concern
The assessment of the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern involves judgment regarding future funding available for its operations and working capital requirements as discussed in Note 1.
b. Business combinations
In a business combination, all identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities acquired are recorded at their fair values. One of the most significant estimates relates to the determination of the fair value of these assets and liabilities.
For any intangible asset identified, depending on the type of intangible asset and the complexity of determining its fair value, an independent valuation expert or management may develop the fair value, using appropriate valuation techniques, which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future net cash flows. The evaluations are linked closely to the assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of the assets concerned and any changes in the discount rate applied. Certain fair values may be estimated at the acquisition date pending confirmation or completion of the valuation process. Where provisional values are used in accounting for a business combination, they may be adjusted retrospectively in subsequent periods. However, the measurement period will last for one year from the acquisition date.
c. Allowance for doubtful accounts
GABY applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The carrying amount of the receivable is reduced through use of an allowance account, and impaired receivables are derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible. Accordingly, management establishes an allowance for estimated losses arising from non‐payment and other sales adjustments (such as merchant charge backs), taking into consideration customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and past experience. If future collections differ from estimates, future earnings would be affected. See Note 4.
d. Share‐based payments
The Black‐Scholes option pricing model is used to determine the fair value of stock options and warrants. In estimating fair value, management is required to make certain assumptions and estimates such as the expected life of options, volatility of the Corporation’s future share price, risk free rate, future dividend yields and estimated forfeitures at the initial grant date. Changes in assumptions used to estimate fair value could result in materially different results.
22 | P a g e G A B Y I n c .
GABY INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
e. Fair value of financial instruments
The individual fair values attributed to the different components of a financing transaction, notably convertible debentures, were determined using valuation techniques. The Corporation uses judgment to select the methods used to make certain assumptions and in performing the fair value calculations in order to determine: (a) the values attributed to each component of a transaction at the time of their issuance; (b) the fair value measurements for certain instruments that require subsequent measurement at fair value on a recurring basis; and (c) for disclosing the fair value of financial instruments subsequently carried at amortized cost. These valuation estimates could be significantly different because of the use of judgment and the inherent uncertainty in estimating the fair value of these instruments that are not quoted in an active market.
f. Income taxes
The estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the Corporation’s ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income before they expire. The Corporation’s assessment is based upon existing tax laws and estimates of future taxable income. If the assessment of the Corporation’s ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions changes, the Corporation would be required to recognize more or fewer of the tax deductions as assets, which would decrease or increase the income tax expense in the period in which this is determined. See Note 25.
g. Inventories
Management makes estimates of the future customer demand for products when establishing appropriate provisions for inventory. In making these estimates, management considers the product life of inventory and the profitability of recent sales of inventory. In many cases, products sold by GABY turn quickly and inventory on‐hand values are low, thus reducing the risk of inventory obsolescence. Management ensures that systems are in place to highlight and properly value inventory that may be approaching obsolescence. To the extent that actual losses on inventory differ from those estimated, inventory, net loss, and comprehensive loss will be affected in future periods.
h. Property and equipment
Components of an item of property and equipment may have different useful lives. Management makes significant estimates and judgments when determining asset depreciation rates and useful lives, which require taking into account company‐specific factors, such as past experience and expected use. The Corporation monitors and reviews asset depreciation rates and useful lives at least once per year and revises them if they are different from previous estimates. The Corporation recognizes the effect of changes in estimates in net income prospectively. Changes to estimates could be caused by a variety of factors, including changes to the physical life of the assets. A change in any of the estimates would result in a change in the amount of depreciation and, as a result, a charge to net loss recorded in the period in which the change occurs, with a similar change in the carrying value of the asset in the statement of financial position.
Furthermore, property and equipment are reviewed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date. Where impairment indicators are identified, the Corporation uses the FVLCD approach to determine the recoverable amount of
23 | P a g e G A B Y I n c .
GABY INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
the assets included in property and equipment, which drives the conclusion of whether impairment exists, and if it does, the amount of impairment to record.
FVLCD is determined based on the best information available to reflect the amount that the entity could obtain from the disposal of the assets in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, after deducting costs to sell. This approach requires assumptions to be formulated about the overall physical condition of the assets and the costs involved to sell the equipment.
Management regularly evaluates these estimates and assumptions. 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 revision affects both current and future periods.
i. Intangible assets and goodwill
Management uses estimates in determining the recoverable amount of intangible assets and goodwill. The determination of the recoverable amount for the purpose of impairment testing requires the use of significant estimates, such as:
-
future cash flows;
-
terminal growth rates; and
-
discount rates.
Management regularly evaluates these estimates and assumptions. 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 revision affects both current and future periods.
Judgment is also applied in choosing methods of amortizing intangible assets that management believes most accurately represent the consumption of those assets and are most representative of the economic substance of the intended use of the underlying assets. A change in the estimate would result in a change in the amount of amortization and, as a result, a charge to net loss recorded in the period in which the change occurs, with a similar change in the carrying value of the asset in the statement of financial position. See Note 7.
j. Lease accounting
The application of IFRS 16 Leases requires the Corporation to assess its significant judgments and certain key estimates when applying the standard as described herein. Critical judgments required in the application of IFRS 16 include the following:
- Determining whether it is reasonably certain that an extension, purchase or termination option will be exercised, on a lease‐by‐lease basis. The Corporation considers all facts and circumstances and examines whether there is an economic incentive or penalty affecting the decision to exercise an option.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty in the application of IFRS 16 include the following:
-
Estimating the lease term. The Corporation determines the lease term as the non‐cancellable period of the lease at the commencement date, adjusted for any purchase, renewal or termination options it deems reasonably certain to exercise;
-
24 | P a g e G A B Y I n c .
GABY INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
-
Determining the appropriate incremental borrowing rate specific to each leased asset. The Corporation establishes incremental borrowing rates used as discount factors in discounting payments reflecting the Corporation’s borrowing rate, duration of lease term and credit spread; and
-
Assessing whether a right‐of‐use asset (“ROU asset”) is impaired if indicators are present.
Unanticipated changes in these judgments or estimates could affect the identification and determination of the fair value of lease liabilities and ROU assets at initial recognition, as well as the subsequent measurement of lease liabilities and ROU assets. Changes in the economic environment or changes in the cannabis and retail industry may impact management’s assessment of lease terms, and any changes in management’s estimate of lease terms may have a material impact on the Financial Statements. In addition, the Corporation’s assessed incremental borrowing rates are subject to change mainly due to macroeconomic changes in the environment and cannabis industry and the Corporation’s creditworthiness. These items could potentially result in changes to amounts reported in the Financial Statements.
k. Discontinued operations
A disposal group qualifies as a discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity for which operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Corporation, that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and:
-
represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;
-
is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or
-
is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Management is required to make judgments about the points above in order to determine whether business components that have been discontinued or divested constitute a discontinued operation for financial reporting purposes. The decision based on those judgments could have a material impact on the presentation of the financial statements.
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount in “Net loss from discontinued operations” in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss is re‐presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the beginning of the comparative year.

b) Consideration
The Definitive Agreement provided for the acquisition of all equity securities of Mankind for total consideration of USD 36.5 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the Definitive Agreement. The consideration was satisfied as follows:
-
(i) the payment of USD 5.0 million in cash;
-
(ii) the issuance of 157,894,737 common shares with a deemed value of USD 0.038 (CAD $0.05) per share, constituting USD 6.0 million of the consideration; and
-
(iii) the issuance of a secured non‐convertible promissory note for USD 25.5 million bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The promissory note requires quarterly interest‐only payments of the interest incurred in the quarter capped at USD 500,000 per quarter, with any additional interest incurred to be accrued (on an interest‐free basis) and paid with the next principal payment. The principal is required to be paid as follows: USD 5 million at the end of years two, four, and six, with the remaining USD 10.5 million due at the end of year seven.
The consideration is to be adjusted by the amount by which actual working capital (defined as working capital plus debt) is greater than (less than) target working capital of USD 587,733. The estimated purchase price adjustment is a reduction of the purchase price by USD 763,059, to be transacted through a reduction of quarterly interest payments on the promissory note of no more than USD 150,000 per quarter until the total purchase price adjustment has been satisfied. This right to reduce future interest payments is presented as Other current asset. During the year, the acquisition‐date balance was reduced by USD 450,000 (reduction of three interest payments) and increased by USD 174,534 relating to an indemnification claim related to an under‐accrual which directly affects the working capital calculation, for an outstanding balance in favor of the Corporation of USD 487,593 (CAD 617,098) as at December 31, 2021.

| Net cash outflow – investing activities | (1,688,708) (2,100,050) |
d) Goodwill
The composition of goodwill includes knowledge and experience of Mankind in respect of retail operations of cannabis products in the state of California; its established relationship with reputable cannabis manufacturers and distributors, as well as the expected synergies from the combination of Mankind’s retail license with GABY’s consumer packaged goods expertise in branding and retail operations. Any goodwill recognized would have $nil tax value.
e) Acquisition costs
Acquisition‐related costs of $1,213,046 that were not directly attributable to the issuance of shares are included in Transaction costs in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss and in operating cash flows in the statement of cash flows.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
Annual impairment testing involves determining the recoverable amount of the CGU groups to which goodwill is allocated and comparing this to the carrying value of the CGU groups. To estimate the recoverable amount of each CGU, management calculated the FVLCD using an income approach, which is a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.
For the unlicensed CGU, it was determined that the recent negative results of operations did not support any carrying value on an income basis. The recoverable amount was estimated on an asset basis as $83,637. As the value of the goodwill relating to the Unlicensed CGU was not supported under either basis, an impairment loss was recorded equal to the carrying value of the goodwill relating to this CGU.
For December 31, 2021, the key assumptions used in the calculation of the recoverable amounts for the Licensed CGU included in management’s projection of future cash flows (for a five‐year period with a terminal value thereafter) were based on consideration of economic, industry and entity‐specific risks and incorporated assumptions an independent market participant would apply. In addition, the following key assumptions were used for the Licensed CGU as outlined below:
| December 31, 2021 | |
|---|---|
| Cashgenerating unit | Licensed |
| Terminal value growth rate | 3.0% |
| After‐tax discount rate | 10.5% |
| Average annual growth rate | 4.0% |
| Gross margin | 46.5% |
Unlicensed CGU
As noted above, impairment was recorded related to the goodwill of the Unlicensed CGU in 2021 in order to reduce the carrying value to $nil. Management believes that due to a decrease in profitability and future prospects of this CGU, the carrying value of goodwill is no longer supportable.
Licensed CGU, Sonoma Pac
2021
The operations of Sonoma Pac were discontinued in August 2021. As the license held by Sonoma Pac was tied to the leased facility, and the lease was terminated, the license was forfeited. Accordingly, the carrying value of the license asset was adjusted to $nil and both the cost and accumulated impairment losses were removed.
2020
The Corporation estimated the recoverable amount of its indefinite‐life asset, the Type 11 License, to be $1,020,160 (USD 800,000) using FVLCD using a market approach and Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. This resulted in an impairment of its indefinite‐life intangibles of $1,738,283 (USD 1,363,146). Management estimated the FVLCD by referencing the purchase price allocated to Type 11 licenses in respect of business acquisitions of publicly listed entities, based on a weighting of prices. The assumption used is considered a significant estimate. If management would have
32 | P a g e G A B Y I n c .

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
weighted the transaction 10% more towards the lower end of the price range for a Type 11 License, the Corporation would have had to recognize an additional impairment of its Type 11 License of $153,024 (USD 120,000).
The Corporation determined that the carrying amount of goodwill in respect of its Licensed CGU, Sonoma Pac, was no longer recoverable as at December 31, 2020, based on FVLCD, being the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from Sonoma Pac. It therefore recorded goodwill impairment of $2,968,143 (USD 2,327,590). This impairment was largely caused by the Corporation’s inability to implement its growth strategy due to the direct and indirect impacts of the COVID‐19 pandemic, as well as a lack of capital as the Corporation’s ability to raise capital was tied to the completion of a significant acquisition which took longer than expected. This resulted in the Corporation forecasting a reduction and delay of its anticipated growth of cash flows and the resulting impairment of goodwill.
Licensed CGU, Mankind
The recoverable amount of Mankind at December 31, 2021 was estimated to be $65,178,400 (USD 51,500,000) determined by its fair value less costs of disposal being the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from Mankind.
The key assumptions used in the calculation of the recoverable amount relate to the cash flows and growth projections, future weighted average cost of capital, and terminal growth rate. These key assumptions were based on data from historical sources as well as industry and market trends. The Corporation estimated the recoverable amount of CGU based on discounted cash flows of five years and a terminal year thereafter and incorporated assumptions that an independent market participant would apply. The after‐tax discount rate used was 10.5% and the perpetual growth rate used was 3.0%.
The assumptions used above are considered significant estimates. The impact of possible changes thereto are as follows:
If the budgeted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization had been 10% lower than management’s estimates at December 31, 2021, the recoverable amount would have changed by $9.2 million. If the after‐tax discount rate applied to the cash flow projections had been 1% higher than management’s estimates, the recoverable amount would have decreased by $7.8 million. If the terminal growth rate used had been 1% lower, the recoverable amount would have decreased by $5.7 million. No impairment is indicated under any of these scenarios.

9) BANK INDEBTEDNESS
Until September 2020, a demand operating loan was authorized by TD Canada Trust to a maximum of $150,000. In light of the Corporation’s involvement with the US cannabis industry, the bank closed the operating loan account in September 2020 with an amount owing of $152,080. By December 31, 2020, the loan had not been repaid and had accrued additional interest for a total ending balance of $155,370 included in bank indebtedness. As described in Note 11, a related party of GABY assumed the outstanding debt effective January 1, 2021 and subsequently rolled its resulting receivable into Units in the Non‐brokered Private Placement (see Note 20).
Up to September 2020, bank indebtedness was included in cash for purposes of the statement of cash flows. Given the change in its nature when the account was closed, it no longer is included in cash after the date of closure.

a) Description
In 2019, the Corporation received gross proceeds of $1,300,000 from a non‐brokered private placement of 1,300 units (“Units”) of the Corporation at a price of $1,000 per Unit (“Offering”). Each Unit is comprised of a secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $1,000 (“Debentures”) and 500 common share purchase warrants. The Corporation also received gross proceeds of $250,000 from a private placement of 250 Debentures in 2019. The Debentures accrue interest at a rate of 15% per annum and originally matured March 1, 2021. In March 2021, the remaining convertible debentures outstanding were modified to recharacterize a portion of the accrued interest payable to convertible debenture principal on the same terms as the original convertible debentures, and to extend the maturity date to April 1, 2022. The maturity was further extended subsequent to December 31, 2021 as described in Note 36.
The principal of the Debentures, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, are redeemable by the Corporation and retractable by the holder of the Debenture at the option of such party. The holder of the Debenture also has the option to convert the principal amount of the Debentures, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at the greater of: (i) $0.37; or (ii) the last closing price of the Corporation’s common shares. The Debentures are secured by a general security agreement granted by the Corporation.
b) Interest expense
Total interest for the year ended December 31, 2021 relating to the convertible debentures, including coupon interest and accretion of issuance costs and debenture discount, is $82,842 (2020 ‐ $117,199).

16) LEASE LIABILITIES
The Corporation is obligated under various lease agreements, all of which require escalating payments. The current payments as of December 31, 2021 are shown in the summary below, and the future escalating payments are reflected in the estimated future payment tables below.

2 The MPS leases are guaranteed personally by an officer and director of GABY, for which a guarantee fee of 2% per annum of the outstanding balance of the leases liabilities is accrued monthly and paid to the guarantor in GABY shares from time to time.
3 In 2019, to entice the lessor of one of the California facilities to approve the lease, GABY paid a lease guarantee fee in warrants (Note 19), the fair value of which was added to the lease liability and included in the lease summary and the future payment schedules. The lease was terminated in 2020 and the guarantee fee warrants were forfeited.

a) The Corporation issued a secured non‐convertible promissory note for USD 25.5 million bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum as part of the consideration for the Mankind acquisition. The promissory note requires quarterly interest‐only payments of the interest incurred in the quarter capped at USD 500,000 per quarter, with any additional interest incurred to be accrued and paid with the next principal payment. The principal is required to be paid as follows: USD 5 million at the end of years two, four, and six, with the remaining USD 10.5 million due at the end of year seven. The promissory note is secured by a pledge of all issued and outstanding shares of MPS.
-
b) Effective August 2021, the Corporation entered a settlement agreement with a former vendor for payment of outstanding amounts plus interest over a period of 3 years (see Note 24). The agreement requires blended interest and principal payments of USD 2,500 per month in year one, USD 3,500 per month in year two, and USD 4,500 per month in year three, with a balloon payment of the remaining principal and accrued interest due following the 3‐year payment period.

c) Upon acquisition of Mankind, MPS held a note payable to the former shareholders of WWI that bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum and requires principal payments of USD 18,000 plus interest due monthly thereafter through November 2021, USD 20,000 plus interest due in December 2021, and a final balloon payment of USD 200,000 plus interest due in January 2022.
-
d) Upon acquisition of Mankind, WWI held a note payable to a private lender for USD 500,000. The loan is secured by substantially all assets of Mankind. The loan accrues interest at a rate of 18.5% per annum and requires blended monthly principal and interest payments of USD 28,053. All amounts advanced shall bear interest for not less than 12 months; if the advance is repaid before that time, the interest for the remainder of the one‐year period will be payable at that time. The loan will be fully due and payable two years after the date of the first required interest payment. In addition to making the required payments, the Corporation is also required to meet various covenants to avoid an event of default. The Corporation has made all required payments on time, but is not in compliance with all of the covenants as of December 31, 2021. In the event of a continuing default under the terms of the loan agreement, subject to defenses available to the Corporation, all amounts owing could become due on demand and interest of an additional 10% per annum could be charged on the outstanding principal balance at the option of the lender. The lender has not communicated any intention of accelerating the maturity or charging additional interest. Further, the remaining balance is already due within the next year and included in current portion of long‐term debt.
The US government assistance loans are two loans separately guaranteed and secured by the tangible and intangible personal property of the two unlicensed subsidiaries that are the borrowers.

a. Stock option plan
The Corporation has an incentive stock option plan (the "Option Plan") which provides that the Board may from time to time, in its discretion, grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation, non‐transferable options ("Options") to purchase Common Shares. The purpose of the plan is to advance the interests of the Corporation and its shareholders by attracting, retaining, and motivating such directors, officers, employees and consultants and to encourage and enable such persons to acquire and retain a proprietary interest in the Corporation through ownership of Common Shares.
The Option Plan provides that, subject to the requirements of the Exchange, the aggregate number of securities reserved for issuance, set aside and made available for issuance under the Option Plan may not exceed 10% of the issued and

GABY INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
outstanding Common Shares at the time of granting of Options (including all Options previously granted by the Corporation).
The number of Common Shares which may be reserved in any 12‐month period for issuance to any one individual upon exercise of all Options held by that individual may not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation at the time of grant.
The Option Plan is to be administered by the Board, or a committee thereof, either of which has full and final authority with respect to the granting of Options under the Option Plan.
The exercise price of any Options granted under the Option Plan shall be determined by the Board, but may not be less than the market price of the Common Shares on the Exchange on the date of the grant. The term of any Options granted under the Option Plan shall be determined by the Board at the time of grant but provided that the term of any Options may not exceed ten years. Options granted up to December 31, 2020, including the affect of the amendment described below, vest evenly on the anniversary dates from the original grant date at either 33% per year, or 1/3 immediately and two anniversary dates following; and in one case 1/3 immediately and 2/3 in year two. Options are not transferable or assignable, other than by will or other testamentary instrument or pursuant to the laws of succession.
Subject to certain exceptions, if a director or officer ceases to hold office, any Options held by such person will expire 60 days after they cease to hold office. Subject to certain exceptions, if an employee or consultant ceases to act in that capacity in relation to the Corporation, Options held by such person will expire 60 days after they cease to act in that capacity in relation to the Corporation.

Fair value of options granted
There were no options granted in 2021 or 2020. The amount included in Share‐based compensation and expenses for the year, net of forfeitures, was $75,834 (2020 ‐ $77,642), and is classified as contributed surplus in the Corporation’s consolidated statement of financial position. Of the foregoing amount, $87,119 was in respect of key management personnel (2020 ‐ $15,990).
b. Restricted share units
The Corporation implemented an RSU plan in 2020. The RSU Plan is to be administered by the Board, or a committee thereof, either of which has full and final authority with respect to the granting of RSUs under the RSU Plan. The vesting conditions of any RSUs granted under the RSU Plan shall be determined by the Board at the time of grant but provided that the vesting term of any RSUs may not exceed three years.
The RSU Plan provides that, subject to the requirements of the Exchange, the aggregate number of securities reserved for issuance, set aside and made available for issuance under the RSU plan and the Corporation’s Option Plan may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of granting of Options (including all Options previously granted by the Corporation).
The RSUs granted up to December 31, 2021 vest either one year from the grant date or one‐third each over the first, second and third anniversary year from the date of grant and are each issuable into one common share of the Corporation. The share price at date of 2021 grants ranged from $0.025 to $0.105 per share. The fair value of the RSUs adjusted for projected forfeitures is estimated as $1,260,940 (2020 ‐ $667,955). Of this amount, $113,063 will be expensed over one year, and the remainder will be recorded as an expense over the three years in which services are received with a corresponding amount recorded as contributed surplus.
Subject to certain exceptions, if a director or officer ceases to hold office, or an employee is terminated, any unvested RSUs held by such person will expire immediately. The settlement of RSUs into shares shall generally occur on or shortly after the vesting date, subject to security regulations including black‐out periods. The Corporation has the sole and absolute discretion to purchase its own shares on the CSE, or if approved by the Board, to issue shares from treasury. Until 46 | P a g e G A B Y I n c .
GABY INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
and unless common shares have been issued in accordance with the RSU Plan, the holder of the RSUs has no shareholder rights in respect of the RSUs, including the right to receive dividends.
Set out below is a summary of RSUs activity for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:
| Number of RSUs | 2021 2020 |
|---|---|
| Opening Granted Forfeited Vested and settled in shares |
16,375,000 ‐ 34,400,000 17,830,000 (6,253,333) (1,455,000) (5,125,001) ‐ |
| Closing | 39,396,666 16,375,000 |
| Vested atperiod end | ‐ ‐ |
The weighted average fair value of the RSUs granted during the year was $0.04 (2020 ‐ $0.05) per RSU, which was based on the common share closing price on the CSE on the date of grant and assumes no future expected dividends.
The amount included in net loss for the year 2021 is $645,743 (2020 ‐ $306,673, $130,000 of which is included in loss from discontinued operations) and is classified as contributed surplus in the Corporation’s consolidated statement of financial position. Of the foregoing amounts, $377,923 was in respect of KMP for the year (2020 ‐ $115,873).
c. Warrants issued for services
The Corporation did not issue any warrants for services in 2021.
On May 1, 2020, the Corporation issued four tranches of warrants totaling 2,000,000 in number as partial compensation for services of a consultant. Each warrant has a three‐year life and is exercisable into one common share for a set exercise price per warrant upon the common shares reaching varying targets of volume weighted average price over 20 consecutive days (“Target VWAP”) as outlined in the table below.
The Corporation measured the fair value of the service received by reference to the fair value of the warrants granted using the Black‐Scholes Model which takes into account the inputs, including the probability of attaining the market performance condition (“Market Probability”):
| Number of | Target | Exercise | Expected | Market |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warrants | VWAP | price | life in years | Probability |
| 500,000 | $0.15 | $0.20 | 2 | 76% |
| 500,000 | $0.20 | $0.25 | 3 | 5% |
| 500,000 | $0.25 | $0.30 | 3 | 0% |
| 500,000 | $0.30 | $0.35 | 3 | 0% |
| 2,000,000 |
The resulting amount included in share‐based compensation for the year 2020 is $4,000.

d. Broker warrants
In conjunction with the private equity capital raise of $12.7 million in February 2021, the Corporation issued 7,992,569 broker warrants as compensation to the broker agents engaged for the offering (“Broker Warrants”). The Broker Warrants are described further in Note 20f.
The fair value of the Broker Warrants was estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions:
-
i) Share price of $0.065 at the measurement date
-
ii) Expected volatility of 115%
-
iii) Risk‐free interest rate of 0.90% based on interest rate on six‐month Government of Canada treasury bills
-
iv) Expected life of 0.5 years
-
v) Expected dividend yield of 0%

i) In 2020, a consultant agreed to receive payment for eleven months of consulting fees in shares rather than cash. The Corporation measured the fair value of services received as invoiced as measured when such services were previously paid in cash. In 2021, as the consultant continued to be paid in shares, the amounts were presented in share‐based compensation and shares issued for services rather than shares issued as payment of accounts payable, to better reflect the substance of the arrangement.
-
ii) In 2020, a consultant who is close family of certain KMP agreed to receive payment for eleven months of consulting fees in shares rather than cash. The Corporation measured the fair value of services received as invoiced as measured when such services were previously paid in cash. In 2021, this consultant was paid for the whole year in conjunction with the February financing, and the fees are included in share‐based compensation.
-
iii) A corporate services provider agreed to receive payment for service fees in shares rather than cash.

iv) Two providers of corporate legal services agreed to receive payment for various invoices in shares rather than cash. The Corporation measured the fair value of services received as invoiced as measured when such services were previously paid in cash. The common shares were measured using the share price on date of issuance.
-
v) The Corporation issued 2,114,164 common shares and 200,000 warrants to settle a consultant’s claims under a contract in effect in previous years.

a. Private Placement
On February 4, 2021, the Corporation closed a brokered private placement of subscription receipts of the Corporation (the “Brokered Private Placement”) together with a non‐brokered private placement of units of the Corporation (the “Non‐ Brokered Private Placement”) for aggregate gross proceeds (including non‐cash consideration) of $12.7 million.
Pursuant to the Brokered Private Placement, the Corporation issued 172,929,123 subscription receipts of the Corporation (“Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $0.05 per Subscription Receipt. The total value of $8,646,456 was bifurcated between share capital and contributed surplus when the Subscription Receipts were converted to Units in June 2021 based on the relative fair value of the common shares and Warrants issued.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
Each Subscription Receipt represented the right to receive, without payment of additional consideration or further action on the part of the holder thereof, one unit of the Corporation (each, a “Unit”) upon the later of: (i) the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions; and (ii) the date that is the earlier of: (A) June 5, 2021; and (B) the second business day following the filing of a qualifying prospectus.
Each Unit consists of: (i) one GABY Share; and (ii) one GABY Share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one GABY Share at an exercise price of $0.09, at any time up to 24 months following the date of issuance; provided that if, at any time prior to the expiry date of the Warrants, the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the CSE, or other principal exchange on which the GABY Shares are listed, is greater than $0.18 for 5 consecutive trading days, the Corporation may, within 10 business days of the occurrence of such event, deliver a notice to the holders of the Warrants (the “Acceleration Right”) accelerating the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date of such notice (the “Accelerated Exercise Period”). Any unexercised Warrants will automatically expire at the end of the Accelerated Exercise Period.
The Corporation issued Broker Warrants valued at $319,703 (see Note 20f) and paid other fees and expenses of $596,571, for aggregate equity issuance costs of $916,274 which was offset against share capital.
Pursuant to the Non‐Brokered Private Placement, the Corporation issued 80,140,444 Units at a price of $0.05 per Unit. The total value of $4,007,022 has been bifurcated between share capital and contributed surplus based on the relative fair value of the common shares and Warrants. Of the total value, $3,709,154 consisted of debts rolled into the Non‐ Brokered Private Placement by various related and unrelated parties, as follows:
| Balance comprised of, in $: | Relatedparty | Other | Total |

b. Other subscriptions
In October 2021, the Corporation issued 12,500,000 Units on the same basis as the Non‐Brokered Private Placement described above for total proceeds of $625,000. The Corporation incurred a finder’s fee of $74,334 directly relating to this investment, which was offset against share capital. Half of the fee was to be paid in cash and half in Units under the same definition as the Units subscribed for by the investor.
c. Shares issued from treasury as payment of indebtedness to a related party
In January 2020, 16,666,666 common shares issued at $0.065 per share were issued to a company controlled by a director and officer of the Corporation as payments of amounts owing of $1,083,333 as detailed in the table below.

f. Broker Warrants
The Corporation from time to time issues instruments exercisable for the purchase of common shares and Warrants for the purpose of compensating brokers or agents in connection with financing transactions, which are referred to above as Broker Warrants. The balance included in Broker Warrants is comprised of the following:

i. Broker Warrants – February 2021
The Corporation issued Broker Warrants to the brokers in the February 2021 Brokered Private Placement. Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share and one warrant at a combined price of $0.05 for a period of 24 months following the Escrow Release Date of June 5, 2021. Each warrant acquired through exercise of the Broker Warrants entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $0.09 per share for a period of 24 months from the Escrow Release Date. The weighted average remaining life of the Broker Warrants is 1.43 years.
If at any time after the date of issuance, the volume weighted average trading price per common share is equal to or greater than $0.18 for any five consecutive trading days, the Corporation shall be entitled, at the sole option of the Corporation, within ten business days of such event, to accelerate the Expiration Date to the date that is thirty days following the delivery of a written notice of acceleration to the holder.

i) Legal settlements
During 2021, GABY Inc. and one of its subsidiaries incurred new or additional liabilities based on the outcome of certain legal proceedings against them.
In the case of GABY Inc., a suit was brought due to non‐payment of legacy payables from the discontinued operations. Additional amounts were added to the payable already carried, and a payment plan was established. Accordingly, the full

GABY INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
amount of the payable was recorded as a long‐term note payable, which is included in long‐term debt under the caption “Long‐term settlement payable”.
In the case of the subsidiary, a suit was brought by a former employee, and the judgment that ensued established a payable of USD 210,000 payable in three installments. One of the USD 70,000 payments was made in 2021; accrual for the other two installments was recorded in 2021, which payments are required to be made in 2022.
ii) Gain on extinguishment of debts
During the years 2021 and 2020, the Corporation recognized gains on extinguishment of debts primarily relating to paying debts with shares valued at less than the debt amount, or by obtaining and fulfilling agreements with legacy vendors to extinguish trade payables for less than the face value of the debts.
iii) Gain (loss) on disposal of assets
The majority of the loss on disposal of assets in 2021 relates to assets sold at a loss, scrapped, or abandoned in conjunction with the closure of Sonoma Pacific Distribution.
iv) Government assistance
In 2020, the Corporation received three loans from government entities as a mode of government assistance. These loans were provided at below‐market interest rates and one contains a debt forgiveness provision if repaid by a certain date (see Note 17 for further detail).
The proceeds of the US government assistance loans received are required to be used for working capital needs, and the borrower is required to obtain and itemize receipts and contracts for all loan funds spent and retain these records for three years from the date of final disbursement. The borrowers could be required to provide reviewed financial statements and/or other records if requested. Any amount not spent in accordance with the agreement by the reporting date is immaterial. The loans require security interests in certain assets of the entities to which they were issued, as disclosed in Note 17.
Government assistance income was calculated and recognized for the difference between the obligations discounted at an estimated market rate of 18.50% and the face value of the loans, as follows:
| Obligation | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Face Value | discounted | Government | ||
| Rate | (CAD) | at 18.50% | assistance | |

25) INCOME TAXES
The Corporation is subject to U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 280E. This section disallows deductions and credits attributable to a trade or business of trafficking in controlled substances. Under U.S. federal law, marijuana is a schedule 1 controlled substance. The Corporation has taken the position that any costs included in cost of goods sold should not be treated as amounts subject to Section 280E. The measurement of deferred income tax assets requires management to make judgements in the interpretation and application of the relevant tax laws. The actual amount of income taxes only becomes final upon filing and acceptance of the tax return by the relevant authorities.
A reconciliation of income taxes at statutory rates with the reported taxes is as follows:
| In $ | |
|---|---|

1 Six months ended March 31, 2021, for cut‐off between previous ownership and GABY ownership
The Corporation has recorded a provision for uncertain tax positions relating to the application of IRC Section 280E of $4,343,228 as at December 31, 2021 ($nil as at December 31, 2020) which is included in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The amounts recorded relate to federal income tax for prior open tax years. The full amount recorded is from tax periods of Mankind under the previous ownership and is covered by an indemnification clause in the Mankind purchase agreement as it relates to tax periods before the acquisition date. An indemnification asset of that amount has been recognized in consolidation and is included in Other assets. Since the acquisition date, the Corporation has taken a more conservative approach to Mankind’s income tax filings in order to reduce risk to the Corporation and ensure compliance with United States income tax legislation.

The Corporation also has capital losses of $7,889,363 which carry forward indefinitely to offset future capital gains. In addition to the losses carried forward presented above, the Corporation has losses for United States federal income tax purposes of USD 6,822,146 (CAD 8,634,108) which carry forward indefinitely, losses for California state income tax purposes of USD 14,188,873 (CAD 17,957,438) which expire in 2038‐2041, and losses for Arizona state income tax purposes of USD 246,207 (CAD 311,600) which expire in 2024‐2026.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for loss carry‐forwards and other deductible temporary differences to the extent that the realization of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. With the exception of Mankind, the Corporation does not yet have a history of profitability or other supporting evidence of future profitability to support the recognition of deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities. Accordingly, any net deferred tax assets by entity (other than Mankind) and by jurisdiction are not recognized. The Corporation’s net deferred income tax liabilities are as follows:

27) LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The potentially dilutive Common Shares issuable on the outstanding Warrants, Broker Warrants, RSUs, and Stock Options are non‐dilutive and are therefore excluded from the diluted loss per share for the periods in which they were outstanding. The weighted average numbers of shares outstanding for the year was 539,476,460 (2020 – 228,937,349).

31) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Corporation's current financial instruments include cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other current asset, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, short‐term notes payable, promissory notes payable, and convertible debentures and are measured at amortized cost. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair value due to their short‐term maturities. The Corporation’s non‐current financial instruments include lease liabilities and long‐term debt, which are measured at amortized cost.
The Corporation’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks, including price risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Corporation’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial and economic markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Corporation’s financial performance. Risk management is carried out by financial management in conjunction with overall corporate governance.
The Corporation is exposed to the following risks in respect of certain of the financial instruments held:
(a) Interest rate risk
The Corporation's exposure to interest rate fluctuations is with respect to the long‐term settlement payable included in long‐term debt which bears interest at floating rates after year 1 (see Note 17). The rates are tied to the US prime rate of interest. Rate changes are likely to be minimal. A 1.00% change in the US prime rate would increase interest expense over the remainder of the term of the loan by approximately $7,200 (USD 5,700).
62 | P a g e G A B Y I n c .
GABY INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020
In Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated
(b) Credit risk
The Corporation is exposed to credit risk in the event of non‐performance by customers. The maximum credit risk is the fair value of the accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts and past due receivables is reviewed by management for each reporting period. The Corporation updates its estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts based on the evaluation of the recoverability of accounts receivable balances of each customer taking into account historic collection trends, the contractual relationship with the customer and the nature of the customer. Management has determined that significant credit risk exists with relation to the remaining trade accounts receivable; accordingly, the majority has been reduced by an allowance. Management will continue to monitor the risk for these customers and seek to collect the accounts. See Note 4 for detail of the Corporation’s exposure to credit risk for trade receivables by aging of the accounts and by geographic area.
Accounts receivable from one major customer amounted to 73% of gross trade accounts receivable as at December 31, 2021 (2020 – 48%). However, concentration risk does not affect the Corporation with respect to this customer balance, as it relates to a customer in the Sonoma Pacific Distribution business, which has been permanently closed.
Credit risk relating to the Other current asset (see Note 3b) is low, as the Corporation controls recovery of this amount by reducing future interest payments.
(c) Foreign currency risk
The Corporation on a consolidated basis conducts most of its operations in United States dollars. However, the functional currency of GABY Inc. is the Canadian dollar. As at December 31, 2021, the following working capital balances denominated in US dollars were included in the accounts of GABY Inc.:
| denominated in US dollars were included in the accounts of GABY Inc.: | |
|---|---|
| Receivable (Payable) | |
| USD CAD equivalent |

| Net exposure | 155,368 196,635 |
In addition to the balances above, the Corporation has foreign exchange exposure with regards to long‐term debt totaling USD 26,201,900 (CAD 33,161,125). As at December 31, 2021, each one cent strengthening (weakening) in the USD relative to the CAD would decrease (increase) the Corporation’s comprehensive loss by about $260,000.

(e) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit lines. The Corporation’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income taxes payable, short‐ term notes payable, promissory notes payable, convertible debentures, and current portions of lease liabilities and long‐ term debt are due within one year. The degree to which the Corporation is leveraged may reduce its ability to obtain additional financing for working capital and to finance investments to improve cash flows from operations.
The Corporation manages its liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage as outlined in Note 32. It also manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual cash flows.
32) CAPITAL DISCLOSURE
The Corporation’s objectives when managing capital are:
-
to ensure sufficient liquidity to enable the internal financing of capital projects;
-
to develop a strong capital base to increase investor, creditor and market confidence; and
-
to ultimately provide an adequate return to shareholders.
The Corporation’s capital is currently composed of share capital and contributed surplus, long‐term debt, convertible debentures, promissory notes payable, and short‐term notes payable. The Corporation’s primary uses of capital in the past have been to finance its operations, growth (internal and through business acquisitions), and property and equipment purchases. The Board does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management. The Corporation is not subject to any externally‐imposed capital requirements except for the aforementioned general security in Note 17.
33) CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Corporation is subject to legal proceedings and or claims in the normal course of business. Management vigorously defends any allegations under such suits or claims that arise from time to time and believes that the ultimate liability, if any, under any pending matters will not materially affect the financial position or results of operations of the Corporation.
34) STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
In 2021 the Corporation issued nil (2020 ‐ 824,000) stock appreciation rights (SARs) to employees, consultants, and vendors of the Corporation. Total issued SARs units outstanding as at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was 15,007,000, including ineligible SARs which have been forfeited but not yet cancelled. The SARs hold no value until a liquidity event occurs, defined in the SARs Plan as either the sale of all or substantially all the assets or shares of the corporation. As of December 31, 2021, no liquidity event has occurred.
35) SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The Corporation’s chief operating decision makers are the Chief Executive Officer, the President and the Chief Financial Officer. They review the operating performance of the Corporation by two segments comprised of licensed and unlicensed channels, both of which are or were in the manufacturing, distribution, and marketing of consumer products. The licensed channel includes cannabis‐related products to which the manufacturing, sale and distribution are subject to

regulation. The unlicensed channel includes all other non‐THC products, including CBD‐infused products, not subject to the licensing requirements in respect of cannabis. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies contained in the Annual Financial Statements. The chief operating decision makers utilize gross profit as a key measure in making operating decisions and assessing performance. With the acquisition of Mankind, the Unlicensed segment is immaterial and, accordingly, segmented figures are not presented.
