INDIGENOUS BLOOM HEMP CORP. (formerly Veritas Pharma Inc.) Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements Three months ended July 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) (unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
Indigenous Bloom Hemp Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on May 14, 2014 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia as Seashore Organic Marijuana Corp. for the purpose of completing the Plan of Arrangement between Noor Energy Corporation and Sechelt Organic Marijuana Corp. which was completed on August 7, 2014. On September 22, 2014, the Company changed its name from Seashore Organic Marijuana Corp. to Seashore Organic Medicine Inc. and had intentions to become a producer and distributor of medical marijuana in Canada. On December 29, 2015, the Company’s name was changed to Veritas Pharma Inc. On September 24, 2021, the Company name was changed to Indigenous Bloom Hemp Corp. Its current focus is to develop the most effective proprietary cannabis strains for specific disease conditions. The Company’s head office is located at Suite 3200, 650 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 4P7.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. The impact on the Company is not currently determinable, but management continues to monitor the situation.
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at July 31, 2021, the Company has not generated any revenues from operations, has a working capital deficit of $1,100,080, and has an accumulated deficit of $33,225,950. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company's future business. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Preparation
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to interim financial information, as outlined in International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” and using the accounting policies consistent with those in the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended April 30, 2021.
These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended April 30, 2021. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year.
(b) Principles of Consolidation
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiaries, Sechelt Organic Marijuana Corp. (“Sechelt”), Cannevert Therapeutics Ltd., 12302161 Canada Inc., and Veritas Hemp Corp. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

The Company must issue the shares to the former employee within 5 business days of the Maturity Date.

9. Contingencies
-
(a) On June 25, 2018, the Company advanced $1,000,000 to Liht Cannabis Corp. (formerly Marapharm Ventures Inc.) (“Liht”), which was supposed to bear interest at 10% per annum compounded daily, was to be repayable within 90 days, and was to be secured by certain assets of Liht, but the agreement was not executed. The Company and Liht had common officers and directors at the time of the advance. During the year ended April 30, 2019, the Company recorded this as an unauthorized payment in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. On February 28, 2019, the Company filed a civil claim against Liht for the recovery of the $1,000,000 advance plus interest. The interest payable on the advance was to be 10% per annum compounded daily from June 25, 2018 through and including the date on which it was repaid in full. The advance was to be repayable within 90 days and secured by certain assets of Liht. The Company alleges that, even though the Company had advanced Liht $1,000,000, Liht had refused to execute the loan agreement and has taken no steps to perfect the security of the advance. On August 28, 2018, the Company made a demand for the return of the $1,000,000 and again on January 14, 2019 together with interest accrued totalling of $1,055,068 on or before January 21, 2019. Liht has refused to return any portion of the $1,000,000 and any interest or deliver any consideration for the advance. The civil claim is ongoing and the Company believes that the advance to Liht will be recovered, but the outcome cannot be reasonably determined at this time.
-
(b) On June 26, 2019, the Company filed a civil claim against its former management for the breach of their fiduciary duty and duty of care to the Company with respect to the advance made to Liht. This resulted in a loss and damage to the Company. The civil claim is ongoing and the amount of any damages recoverable cannot be reasonable determined or estimated at this time.
-
(c) On May 14, 2020, a civil claim was filed against the Company by a former employee. The former employee is claiming $114,061 in relief as follows: $31,500 in damages for breach of contract. $31,500 in damages for outstanding wages, $1,061 in damages for outstanding business expenses, and $50,000 in damages for the breach of common law duty to perform contract obligations honestly and in good faith. The Company initially recorded $63,873 in the accounts payable and accrued liabilities for previous services rendered, outstanding business expenses, and damages for breach of contract. On October 28, 2020, the Company and the former employee agreed that the Company will pay the former employee a sum of $85,000 through the issuance of a convertible promissory note. The promissory note is non-interest bearing and will automatically convert into common shares of the Company at a price equal to the greater of (i) the closing price of the Company’s shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) on the Maturity Date (the first day on which the Company’s shares are reinstated for trading on the CSE), less the maximum discount permitted by Policy 6 of the CSE; and (ii) $0.15. The Company must issue the shares to the former employee within 5 business days of the Maturity Date. The settlement fee of $14,093 was recorded in the statement of operations. Refer to Note 4.
