KOIOS BEVERAGE CORP. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY 31, 2023 and 2022

==> picture [612 x 120] intentionally omitted <==

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Shareholders of Koios Beverage Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Koios Beverage Corp. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at May 31, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity, operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at May 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements, which indicates that the Company has incurred net loss since inception and as at May 31, 2023 had a deficit of $44,972,281 and as of that date, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $17,989. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters, that in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

==> picture [612 x 127] intentionally omitted <==

Except for the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.

Other Information

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

Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the 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 Financial

Statements

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

In preparing the 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 Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 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 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 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Otto Ehinger.

KOIOS BEVERAGE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY 31, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in US Dollars)

1. Nature and Continuance of Operations

Koios Beverage Corp. (the “ Company ”) was incorporated on November 13, 2002, under the Business Corporations Act ( British Columbia ) . On April 13, 2018, the Company completed a transaction with Koios Inc. (formerly Koios, LLC) (“ Koios ”), a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado. Koios specializes in the business of producing, marketing and selling functional beverages.

The corporate registered and records offices of the Company are located at 810 - 789 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1H2. The Company’s common shares are listed for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “ FIT ” and the United States OTC stock market under the symbol “ FITSF ”.

Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements (“ Financial Statements ”) have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“ IASB ”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Issues Committee (“ IFRIC ”). The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Going concern

These Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business in the foreseeable future. During the year ended May 31, 2023, the Company incurred a comprehensive loss of $8,045,468 (May 31, 2022 - $21,065,021) had an accumulated deficit of $44,972,281 as at May 31, 2023 (May 31, 2022- $36,890,558) and had a working capital deficit $17,989 (May 31, 2022 – surplus of $719,887). The Company anticipates that further losses will be incurred. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and meeting its corporate objectives will require additional financing through debt or equity issuances, or other available means. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be available on terms advantageous to the Company. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability, classification of recorded asset amounts, nor classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue its existence and these adjustments could be material.

Basis of consolidation

These Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Control over subsidiaries exist when the Company has power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of the subsidiary, so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Inter-company balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated in preparing the Financial Statements

Basis of measurement

These Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. In addition, these Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

KOIOS BEVERAGE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY 31, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in US Dollars)

Foreign currency

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of its subsidiaries is as follows:

Subsidiary Name Functional Currency
Active/Inactive
Koios Inc. US Dollar
Active
Cannavated Beverage Co. (BC) Canadian dollar
Inactive
Cannavated Beverage Corp. (Nevada) US Dollar
Inactive
Retox Beverage Inc. Canadian dollar
Inactive

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the US Dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries denominated in currencies other than the US dollar are translated into US dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates throughout the reporting period. All differences are taken to other comprehensive loss and will not be reclassified to profit and loss.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks and on hand, and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventory is calculated using the weighted average method and comprises all costs of purchase necessary to bring the goods to sale. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for products sold in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Management uses the most reliable evidence available in determining the net realizable value of inventories. Actual selling prices may differ from estimates, based on market conditions at the time of sale. Allowances are made against obsolete or damaged inventory and charged to cost of sales. The reversal of any write-down of inventory arising from increase in the net realizable value is recognized as a reduction of cost of sales in the period in which the reversal occurred.

Provisions

Provisions for legal claims, where applicable, are recognized in other liabilities when the Corporation has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.

KOIOS BEVERAGE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY 31, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in US Dollars)

Property, and equipment

Property, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is computed using the methods follows:

Classification Rate
Equipment 20%
Vehicles 30%
Right of use equipment Lesser of term of lease and useful life
Right of use office space Lessor of term of lease and useful life

When assets are disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any related gain or loss is recognized within the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant expenditures, which increase productivity or extend the useful life of the asset, are capitalized.

Available for use is defined as the point at which the related property, and equipment is operational, including the possession of any requisite licenses. Depreciation commences at the point the assets are available for use.

Share Capital

Share capital, common shares and equity instruments are any contracts that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.

The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component.

The fair value of the common shares issued in the private placements was determined to be the more easily measurable component and were valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing quoted bid price on the announcement date. The balance, if any, was allocated to the attached warrants. Warrants that are issued as payment for an agency fee or other transaction costs are accounted for as share-based payments.

Warrants

The Corporation measures the fair value of warrants issued using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model. The fair value of each warrant is estimated based on their respective issuance dates considering volatility, expected life, the dividend rate, and the risk-free interest rate. The fair value of warrants issued in conjunction with an offering is charged to share issue costs with an offsetting amount recorded to contributed surplus. The fair value of warrants exercised is recorded as share capital, and the fair value of any expired warrants is recorded as contributed surplus.

Special warrants

The fair value of stock options granted is measured at grant date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. Where options are granted to consultants for goods or services rendered, the options are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received by the Company. If the fair value of the goods and services received cannot be reliably measured, the fair value of the stock options granted is used instead. At each reporting date, prior to vesting, the cumulative expense representing the extent to which the vesting period has expired and management’s best estimate of the awards that are expected to ultimately vest is computed. The movement in cumulative expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss with a corresponding entry within equity, against reserves. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest. When options are exercised, the proceeds received, together with any related amount in reserves, are credited to share capital.

Stock-based compensation

The fair value of stock options granted is measured at grant date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. Where options are granted to consultants for goods or services rendered, the options are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received by the Company. If the fair value of the goods and services received cannot be reliably measured, the fair value of the stock options granted is used instead. At each reporting date, prior to vesting, the cumulative expense representing the extent to which the vesting period has expired and management’s best estimate of the awards that are expected to ultimately vest is computed. The movement in cumulative expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss with a corresponding entry within equity, against reserves. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest. When options are exercised, the proceeds received, together with any related amount in reserves, are credited to share capital.

Loss per share

Loss per share is computed by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. To compute diluted earnings per share, adjustments are made to common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to include the number of additional common shares that would be outstanding if, at the beginning of the year or at time of issuance, if later, all options and warrants were exercised. The proceeds from exercise would be used to purchase the Company’s common shares at their average market price during the year. If this computation is anti-dilutive, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share.

Income taxes

Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.

Deferred tax is recorded using the liability method, providing for temporary differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable loss; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it is probable that a future tax asset will be recovered, it does not recognize the asset.

Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognized at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Financial instruments

The following is the Company’s accounting policy for financial instruments under IFRS 9:

Classification

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“ FVTPL ”), at fair value through other comprehensive loss (“ FVTOCI ”) or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’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 day of acquisition the Company 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 if the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.

The following table shows the classification of financial assets and liabilities under IFRS 9:

Financial Assets / Liabilities Classification - IFRS 9
Cash FVTPL
Accounts receivable Amortized cost
Loan receivable Amortized cost
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost
Short-term loan Amortized cost
Vehicle loan Amortized cost
Due to related party Amortized cost
Line of credit Amortized cost

Measurement

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL

Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise. Where management has opted to recognize a financial liability at FVTPL, any changes associated with the Company’s own credit risk will be recognized in other comprehensive loss.

Financial assets through other comprehensive income (“ FVTOCI” )

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are measured at FVTOCI:

  • The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

  • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The Company does not currently hold any financial instruments designated as FVTOCI.

KOIOS BEVERAGE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY 31, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in US Dollars)

Equity instruments designated as FVTOCI

On initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate investments in equity instruments that would otherwise be measured at fair value through profit or loss to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. Designation at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other OCI. The cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity instrument, instead, it is transferred to retained earnings. The Company does not currently hold any equity instruments designated as FVTOCI.

Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the credit risk of the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.

Derecognition

Financial assets

The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled or expired. Generally, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the goods or services.

Product revenue is recognised once ownership of the products has transferred to the buyer, the amount of revenue is known and collection is reasonably assured. Consignment inventory sales are only recognised as revenue once the third party has sold the inventory and there are no obligation on the Company to take the product back.

IFRS 16, Leases

IFRS 16 applies a control model to the identification of leases, distinguishing between a lease and a service contract on the basis of whether the customer controls the asset being leased. For those assets determined to meet the definition of a lease, IFRS 16 introduces significant changes to the accounting by lessees, introducing a single, onbalance sheet accounting model that is similar to current finance lease accounting, with limited exceptions for shortterm leases or leases of low value assets. Lessor accounting is not substantially changed.

KOIOS BEVERAGE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY 31, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in US Dollars)

The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. A lease is recognized as a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability at the commencement date. Each lease payment included in the lease liability is apportioned between the repayment of the liability and a finance cost. Lease liabilities represent the net present value of fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments); variable lease payments based on an index, rate, or subject to a fair market value renewal condition; amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees, the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if it is probable that the lessee will exercise that option.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. The period over which the lease payments are discounted is the expected lease term, including renewal and termination options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis in general and administration and sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Short term leases are defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, which is calculated as the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, any initial direct costs and related restoration costs. The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation is recognized from the commencement date of the lease.

Equity Accounted Investments

Equity accounted investments are those entities in which the Company has significant influence but does not have control over the financial and operating policies of the investees. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company holds between 20 percent and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity. Joint arrangement entities are those over which the Company has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic, financial, and operating decisions. Joint ventures are joint arrangements whereby the parties have joint control of the arrangement and have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for by the equity method, whereby the original cost of the investment is adjusted for the Company's share of earnings or losses less dividends since significant influence was acquired. When net accumulated losses from an equity accounted investment exceed its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to $nil and additional losses are not provided for unless the Company is committed to provide other financial support to the investee. The Company resumes accounting for its portion of income (loss) of the investment when the entity subsequently reports net income and the Company's share of that net income exceeds the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended.

Profits or losses resulting from transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate. The Company determines at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that the investments in associates are impaired. The financial statements of associates are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. Where necessary adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies of associates in line with those of the Company. The Company holds a 50% interest in BevCreation LLC.

Future Accounting standards issued

Accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s Financial Statements

KOIOS BEVERAGE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY 31, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in US Dollars)

Significant Accounting Policies, Judgements and Estimation Uncertainty

The preparation of these Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates relate primarily to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the Financial Statements. Actual results could differ materially from those reported.

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of judgments and estimates that management has made at the Statement of Financial position date, that could result in material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

  • The provision of deferred tax is based on judgments in applying income tax laws and estimates on timing, likelihood and reversal of temporary differences between the accounting and tax basis of the assets and liabilities;

  • The estimated value of the Company’s provision of the indemnity to shareholders;

  • The valuation of the Company’s securities issued to settle amounts payable;

  • The valuation and measurement of stock-based compensation;

  • The determination of whether the Company will continue as a going concern.

  • The determination as to whether the Company has significant influence over an entity or a joint venture.

  • Judgement whether an acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition.

14. Contributed Surplus

a) Incentive Stock options

The Company’s Incentive Stock Option Plan (“ Plan ”) provides for the issuance of a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares at an exercise price equal or greater than the market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of the grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants to the Company. The option period for options granted under the Plan is for a maximum period of 5 years. Options granted may vest over certain time periods within the option period, which will limit the number of options that may be exercised. Each stock option is exercisable into one common share of the Company at the price specified within the terms of the option.

The number of common shares reserved for issuance under the Plan is a rolling 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares. Stock option issuances are recognized over the tranche’s vesting period by increasing contributed surplus based on the number of awards expected to vest that have not yet been forfeited. Stock compensation expense adjustments for anticipated forfeitures have been determined to be immaterial.

b) Restricted Share Units

The Company has adopted a Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) plan (“RSU Plan”). The purpose of the RSU Plan is to secure for the Company and its shareholders the benefits of incentive inherent in share ownership by certain directors, officers, other key employees and consultants of the Company (“Participants”) who, in the judgment of the Board, will be responsible for its future growth and success. RSUs granted pursuant to this RSU Plan will be used to compensate Eligible Persons who have forgone salary to assist the Company in cash management in exchange for the grant of RSUs and incentive stock options under the Company’s stock option plan.

Under the terms of the plan, RSUs are granted to Participants and the RSUs expire the earlier of 5 years from the date of vesting of the RSU and 10 years from the grant date. Each RSU gives the Participant the right to receive one common share of the Company. The aggregate number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance, at any time, under this Plan and under any other share compensation arrangement adopted by the Company, including the Company’s incentive stock option plan, shall not exceed up to a maximum of 20% of the issued and outstanding Shares at the time of grant pursuant to awards granted under all share compensation plans.

On February 27, 2023, the Company granted an aggregate of 2,000,000 RSUs to consultants of the Company. The RSUs vested immediately and grants the holder the right to acquire common share in the capital of the Company underlying each such RSU upon such holder delivering a notice of acquisition to the Company in accordance with the RSU plan for a period of five years from issuance (“Term”). Any unvested RSUs after expiry of the Term will be deemed automatically cancelled without further act or notice by the Company. The RSUs had a fair value of $52,415 (C$70,000), based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant.

16. Commitments and contingencies

The Company, from time to time, may be involved in various claims, legal and tax proceedings and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not aware of any pending or threatened proceedings that would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or future results of the Company.

17. Financial Instruments and Risk Management

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, loan receivable, line of credit, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, convertible debentures and short-term loans. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

The Company classifies its fair value measurements within a fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements as defined in IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments.

Level 1 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices include in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Cash and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices, included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. Convertible debentures are classified as level 3. The fair value was based on the transaction price with changes in fair value based on changes in market conditions.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash, loans receivable and accounts receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets by maintaining its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. Credit risk related to receivables is monitored by ongoing credit checks. The credit risk is considered low.

Currency risk

The Company and its subsidiaries do not have significant financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than the convertible debenture which was denominated in Canadian dollars (Note 12). Management monitors its foreign currency balances and makes adjustments based on anticipated need for currencies. The Company does not engage in any hedging activities to reduce its foreign currency risk.

Interest rate risk

The Company normally invests in short-term interest-bearing financial instruments. There is minimal risk that the Company would recognize any loss as a result of a decrease in the fair value of any guaranteed bank investment certificate included in cash as they would be held in large financial institutions.

KOIOS BEVERAGE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY 31, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in US Dollars)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company has historically relied upon equity financings to satisfy its capital requirements and will continue to depend heavily upon equity capital to finance its activities. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain required financing in the future on acceptable terms. The Company anticipated it will need additional capital in the future to finance ongoing operations, such capital to be derived from the exercise of outstanding warrants and/or the completion of other equity financings. The Company has limited financial resources, no source of operating income and no assurance that additional funding will be available to fund its beverage operations, although the Company has been successful in the past in financing its activities through the sale of equity securities.

The ability of the Company to arrange additional financing in the future will depend, in part, on the prevailing capital market conditions and operational success. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur. Any quoted market for the common shares may be subject to market trends generally, notwithstanding any potential success of the Company in creating revenue, cash flows or earnings.

Fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities

The Company believes that the recorded values of its accounts receivable, loan receivable, short-term loans, line of credit, vehicle loan, due to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximates their current fair values due to their nature and relatively short maturity dates or durations.

18. Capital Management

The Company’s capital structure consists of shareholders’ equity. The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain adequate levels of funding to support the development of its business and maintain the necessary corporate and administrative functions to facilitate these activities. This is done primarily through equity financing. Future financings are dependent on market conditions and there can be no assurance the Company will be able to raise funds in the future. The Company may invest all capital that is surplus to its immediate operational needs in short-term, highly-liquid, high-grade financial instruments. The Company continues to use this approach to capital management.

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The Company does not currently have adequate sources of capital for the development of its business and will need to raise additional capital by obtaining equity financing through private placements or debt financing. The Company may raise additional debt or equity financing in the near future to meet its business objectives.

19. Provision for Indemnity

Flow-Through Exploration Expenditures

During the year ended May 31, 2013, the Company raised a total of C$85,440 in flow-through funds, which the Company committed to use in exploration activities on its active projects. The Company allocated C$14,240 of the proceeds to the flow through share premium liability and the remaining proceeds of C$71,200 to share capital. As at May 31, 2014, the Company did not incur eligible exploration expenses which resulted in a penalty and accrued interest totaling approximately $23,675 (C$32,219) and remains outstanding.

20. Acquisition of Retox Beverage Corp.

On April 22, 2022, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement to acquire 100% of Retox Beverage Corp. (“Retox”). Retox is in the business of formulating soft beverages, soda and seltzers. As consideration, the Company issued 15,000,000 units (“Units”) of the Company. Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant which entitles the holder thereof to acquire on additional Share of the Company at a price of $0.175 for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance.

The acquisition of Retox does not constitute a business combination because this entity does not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3 – Business Combination. As a result, the transaction has been measured at the fair value of equity consideration issued to acquire Retox.

of equity consideration issued to acquire Retox.
Purchase Price:
15,000,000 common shares $ 5,550,307
15,000,000 warrants 4,263,654
Share-based compensation $ 9,813,961

The acquisition was accounted for as a share-based payment as none of the products of Retox have been market tested. Retox was in the early stage of formulation soft beverages, soda and seltzers. At the time of acquisition, the Company was conducting research and was in the processes of formulating soft beverages, soda and seltzers which did not meet the definition of intangible assets. As such, the purchase consideration of $9,813,961 was expensed in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the year ended May 31, 2022.

21. Income Taxes

The Corporation’s income tax rate differs from the statutory rate of approximately 25% (2022 - 23.6%) as follows:

As at May 31, 2023, the Company has accumulated Canadian non-capital losses approximately $18,500,000 (2022 - $15,000,000) for income tax purposes which may be deducted in the calculation of taxable income in future years expiring in 2042. The potential benefit of these non-capital loss carry-forwards has not been recognized in these Financial Statements as it is not considered probable that sufficient future taxable profit will allow the deferred assets to be recovered. Tax attributes are subject to review, and potential adjustment, by tax authorities.

22. Subsequent Events

On June 22, 2023, the Company issued 5,440,000 Units for gross proceeds of $272,000. Each Unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.05 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.

On June 28, 2023, the Company issued 2,000,000 common shares pursuant to a RSU conversion.
