INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders of Mojave Brands Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Mojave Brands Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at August 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity 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 August 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 describes events or conditions that indicate a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises 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.

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

MOJAVE BRANDS INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2022 AND 2021

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

Mojave Brands Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated in British Columbia on November 12, 2010. The registered office address of the Company is 1500 – 1055 West Georgia Street, P.O. Box 11117, Vancouver, BC, V6E 4N7. The principal place of business address is 2050 – 1055 West Georgia Street, P.O. Box 11121, Royal Centre, Vancouver, BC, V6E 3P3. The Company is a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Ontario and Alberta, and its common shares are traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol “MOJO” and on the Frankfurt Exchange under symbol “FSE: 0HCN”.

The Company’s principal business was the manufacturing, processing and sale of cannabis extracts. Currently the Company is not generating revenues as it has closed down all its operations in the US, and plans to seek out other potential strategic alliances, joint venture, acquisition, or merger opportunities.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception with an accumulated deficit as at August 31, 2022 of $62,254,267. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations as they become due. These material uncertainties cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These 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. Such adjustments could be material.

These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on December 23, 2022.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of compliance

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

Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coachellagro Corp. The financial statements of the subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

MOJAVE BRANDS INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2022 AND 2021

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont’d…)

Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company. The functional currency for the subsidiary of the Company is the United States dollar (“USD”), and the financial statement items of the subsidiary are measured using that functional currency.

Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

Significant accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from those estimates and judgments. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised.

Areas requiring a significant degree of estimation and judgment by the Company’s management relate to but are not limited to:

  • the fair value measurements for financial instruments;

  • the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities; and

  • • whether the Company has sufficient financing to operate as a going concern.

Actual results may differ from those estimates and judgments.

MOJAVE BRANDS INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2022 AND 2021

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all years presented in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and at banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

Financial instruments

  • (i) Financial assets

All financial assets are measured at fair value on initial recognition. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on the financial assets’ classification, as described below:

Fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”): Financial instruments designated at FVTPL are initially recognized and subsequently measured at fair value with changes in those fair values charged immediately to net earnings. Financial instruments under this classification include cash.

Amortized cost: Financial instruments designated at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. None of the Company’s financial assets are classified as at amortized cost.

Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”): Financial instruments designated at FVOCI are initially recognized at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax. None of the Company’s financial assets are classified as FVTOCI.

(ii) Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and designated upon inception as FVTPL or amortized cost. Financial liabilities classified at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. The Company’s accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, loan payable and loan from related party are classified at amortized cost. The Company does not currently have any FVTPL financial liabilities.

(iii) Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the loss allowance for the financial asset is measured 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 loss allowance is measured for the financial asset at an amount equal to twelve month expected credit losses. For trade receivables the Company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses, which allows the use of a lifetime expected loss provision. Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized. During the year ended August 31, 2022, the Company has recorded a provision for doubtful receivables totaling $16,457 (2021 - $nil) and a recovery of provision for doubtful receivables of $207,694 (2021 - $210,958).

MOJAVE BRANDS INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2022 AND 2021

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

Investment in associates

Associates are entities over which the Company exercises significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but without control or joint control over those policies. The Company accounts for associates using the equity method of accounting. Interests in associates accounted for using the equity method are initially recognized at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, the carrying value of the Company’s interest in an associate is adjusted for the Company’s share of comprehensive income and distributions of the investee. The carrying value of associates is assessed for impairment at each statement of financial position date.

Share-based payments

The Company’s share option plan allows Company employees and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognized as an employee or consultant expense with a corresponding increase in equity. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purpose (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee.

The Company accounts for stock options issued to employees at the fair value determined on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the options is recognized as an expense using the graded vesting method where the fair value of each tranche is recognized over its respective vesting period. When stock options are forfeited prior to becoming fully vested, any expense previously recorded is reversed.

Share-based payments made to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined that the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured. These payments are recorded at the date of the goods and services are received.

Foreign currency translation

The financial statements for the Company and its subsidiaries are prepared using their functional currencies. Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are stated at fair value are translated using the historical rate on the date that the fair value was determined. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are charged to profit or loss.

Subsidiaries that have functional currencies other than the Canadian dollar translate their statement of comprehensive loss items at the average rate during the year. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange rate variations resulting from the retranslation at the closing rate of the net investment in these subsidiaries, together with differences between their statement of comprehensive loss items translated at actual and average rates, are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). On disposition or partial disposition of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of related exchange difference is recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.

MOJAVE JANE BRANDS INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2022 AND 2021

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

Share capital

The Company records proceeds from the issuance of its common shares as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new common shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Common shares issued for consideration other than cash are valued based on their market value at the date that shares are issued. Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between share and warrants using the residual method.

Earnings / loss per share

Basic earnings/loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. Dilutive earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. In periods where a net loss is incurred, potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive and basic and diluted loss per common share is the same. In a profit year, under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of diluted earnings per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average price during the year.

Income taxes

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the Canadian taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.

Current tax is recognized in net income except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial exporting purposes.

Deferred tax is recognized in net income except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income or loss.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

New accounting standards

There were no new or amended IFRS pronouncements effective September 1, 2021 that impacted the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

MOJAVE BRANDS INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2022 AND 2021

4. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCOUNTINUED OPERATIONS

During the year ended August 31, 2019, the Company initiated a plan to dispose of certain asset groups and as a result, certain asset groups were reclassified as assets held for sale. As at August 31, 2021, the Company had disposed all the asset groups.

Coachellagro Corp. (“Coachellagro”)

Coachellagro owns a parcel of land in Coachella, California, where the Company intended to build a facility. During the year ended August 31, 2019, the Company determined that it would no longer pursue the development of the land and committed to a plan to locate a buyer for the land. As a result, the Company reclassified Coachellagro as an asset held for sale and recorded an impairment of $5,077,872 to write down the asset group to the lesser of its carrying value and fair value less cost to sell, which was determined through an assessment of the market value of similar parcels of land. During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company assessed a further impairment of $889,215 due to the decrease in value of the land. During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company sold the land and realized a loss of $88,546.

HS Airway Holdings (“HS Airway”)

HS Airway owned intellectual properties of the CALIGOLD edible brand and had manufacturing operations of multistrain cannabis infused chocolate bars. During the year ended August 31, 2020, as part of the outcome of the Company’s strategic review of operations and assets, the Company divested the CALIGOLD brands back to its former founding owner in consideration of the former founding owner settling certain liabilities of the Company and returning 155,627 common shares of the Company back to the Company’s treasury for cancellation. During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company recognized a loss of $1,116,271 from the discontinued operation of HS Airway. On October 30, 2020, the Company dissolved HS Airway.

The net income (loss) attributable to the asset groups held for sale and discontinued operations are summarized as follows:

5. INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATE

During the year ended August 31, 2019, the Company acquired a 20.75% strategic minority interest in the 2083 Group, Inc. (“2083 Group”), a California based entity, best known for their Speed Weed delivery platform and services. To acquire the 20.75% interest, the Company made cash payments totaling $658,450 ($500,000 USD) and issued 90,435 common shares of the Company with a fair value of $723,478 for total consideration of $1,381,928. As at the date of the acquisition, the 2083 Group had a net liability position of $36,494 USD. The excess of the cost over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the 2083 Group’s identifiable assets and liabilities was allocated to goodwill.

The Company’s investment in the 2083 Group is recorded using the equity method as management determined that the Company had significant influence over the 2083 Group. During the period from the Company’s acquisition of 20.75% interest to August 31, 2019, 2083 Group incurred a loss of $72,875, of which $20,042 is attributable to the Company before impairment of goodwill (see below).

As at August 31, 2019, 2083 Group had total assets of $69,866 USD and total liabilities of $183,309 USD. The Company evaluated the carrying value of its goodwill in 2083 Group and estimated the net recoverable amount to be $1 of the cash generating unit.

Pursuant to the terms of the underlying share purchase agreement with shareholders of the 2083 Group, the Company was committed to investing an additional $1,580,000 USD upon the achievement of certain milestones by the 2083 Group. In October 2019, the Company invested additional $532,329 ($400,000 USD) to increase its ownership interest in 2083 Group to just over 26%. In May 2020, as part of the outcome of the Company’s strategic review of operations and assets, the Company decided not to proceed with further investment in 2083 Group and thus wrote off the investment costs of $532,329 for the year ended August 31, 2020. During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company further wrote off the investment costs to $nil.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As of August 31, 2022, the carrying amounts of accounts payables and loan payable carried at amortized cost are considered a reasonable approximation of their fair values due to the relatively short period to maturity of these financial instruments.

Financial risk management

The Company’s financial risks arising from its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk, and interest rate risk. Risk management is carried out by the Company's management team with guidance from the Audit Committee under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provides regular guidance for overall risk management.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The credit risk of the Company is associated with cash. The credit risk with respect to its cash is minimal as they are held with high-credit quality financial institutions.

Liquidity risk

The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have enough liquidity to meet liabilities when due. as they fall due. As at August 31, 2022, the Company has a cash balance of $881,136 and current liabilities of $139,906. The Company's accounts payable and accrued liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The loan payable is not contractually repayable before December 31, 2023.

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from cash held in Canadian financial institutions. The interest rate risk on cash is not considered significant due to its short-term nature and maturity. The exposure to interest rates for the Company is considered minimal.

16. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

Financial instruments measured at fair value on the statement of financial position are summarized in levels of fair value hierarchy as follows. There have been no changes in these levels and no changes in classifications during the year ended August 31, 2022.
