LOBE SCIENCES LTD. (FORMERLY GREENSTAR BIOSCIENCES CORP.) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS May 31, 2021 and 2020
(Expressed in Canadian dollars, except where noted) – Unaudited
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Lobe Sciences Ltd. (formerly GreenStar Biosciences Corp.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on May 13, 2010. The head office, principal address and registered office of the Company are located at 1400 – 1199 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, B.C. V6E 3T5.
On May 30, 2019, the Company completed a reverse takeover with Green Star Biosciences Inc. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition (“RTO”). On May 30, 2019, the Company changed its name to GreenStar Biosciences Corp. and on November 16, 2020 the Company changed its name to Lobe Sciences Ltd. The Company’s common shares are listed under the symbol “LOBE” on the Canadian Securities Exchange and under the symbol “GTSIF” on the OTCQX. In connection with the name change, the Company has new CUSIP and ISIN numbers 53946V107 and CA53946V1076 respectively.
The Company is working to develop psychedelic compounds as therapeutics. Initially the Company will develop psilocybin-based therapeutics in combination with N-acetylcysteine for the treatment of mild traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder and devices for the efficient application of these medications. The Company also owned acquired brands, intellectual property and leases office and production premises to a cannabis processor and retailer which were disposed of on March 5, 2021 (Note 4).
COVID-19
During the year ended August 31, 2020, there was a global outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus), which has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the United States, state and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Company as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place by the United States and other countries to fight the virus.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

As such, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 (“annual financial statements”).

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in notes 2 and 3 to the annual financial statements except as noted below.
(a) Assets held for sale
Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held for sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured as the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
(b) Investment in joint venture
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties having joint control of the arrangement and have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The investment in joint venture is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is increased or decreased by the Company’s share of the joint ventures net profit or loss after the acquisition date. Dividends distributed to the Company decreases the carrying amount of the investment.
(c) Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the Company that either has been abandoned, disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and: (i) represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operation; (ii) is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operation; or (iii) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resell. A component of the Company comprises an operation and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the Company.
4. SALE OF COWLITZ DISPOSAL GROUP
On February 22, 2021, the Company signed a definitive binding asset purchase agreement (the “Agreement“) with Ionic Brands Corp (“Ionic”)(CSE:IONC) with respect to the sale to Ionic of certain assets relating to Washington-based Cowlitz County Cannabis Cultivators LLC (“Cowlitz”) including license and rental income receivable (Note 6), Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement (“IPPA”) (Note 12), lease deposit (Note 13) and Lease Purchase Agreement (Note 13). Management has determined that the assets and associated lease liability (Note 15) represent a disposal group (the “Cowlitz Disposal Group”). The assets and liabilities associated with the Cowlitz Disposal Group were disposed of on March 5, 2021.

17. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities
IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. from derived prices); and
Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The fair value of cash is measured using Level 1 inputs. The carrying values of receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The fair value of Preferred Shares, Warrants and dividends receivable are measured using Level 2 inputs and are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
