LOBE SCIENCES LTD. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars, except where noted)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Lobe Sciences Ltd. (the “Company” or “Lobe”) 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.

The Company’s common shares are listed under the symbol “LOBE” on the Canadian Securities Exchange and under the symbol “LOBEF” on the OTCQB.

On June 10, 2022, the Company consolidated its issued share capital on the basis of 6 old common shares for every 1 new post-consolidated common share. All current and comparative references to the number of common shares, weighted average number of common shares, loss per share, share purchase options, share purchase warrants, performance warrants, restricted share units and deferred share units have been restated to give effect to this share consolidation.

Lobe is a biopharmaceutical company committed to discovering and developing patient-focused medicines for orphan and rare diseases. The Company, through collaborations with industry-leading partners, is engaged in drug research and development using sub-hallucinatory doses of proprietary psychedelic compounds to improve brain and mental health and wellness. Initially the Company will develop psilocin-based therapeutics for the treatment of severe forms of anxiety such as post-traumatic stress disorder, cluster headaches, and an undisclosed pediatric Orphan disease associated with severe anxiety. With our acquisition of Altemia & Company LLC (“Altemia”) on April 17, 2023 (Note 17), we intend to commercialize a medical food named Altemia[tm] for the treatment of Sickle Cell Disease (“SCD”).

Going concern

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022 (the “financial statements”) have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for at least the next twelve months. As at February 28, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,509,396 (August 31, 2022 - deficiency of $266,084) and an accumulated deficit of $33,994,434 (August 31, 2022 - $30,905,026). During the six months ended February 28, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,019,408 (2022 - $7,687,150). These factors form a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise sufficient financing to acquire or develop a profitable business. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and operations from the sale of equity securities. There can be no certainty that future financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

a) Statement of compliance

These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on April 27, 2023.

These 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 Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) applicable to the preparation of financial statements including International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting . These financial statements do not include all disclosures required for annual audited financial statements. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the notes to the Company’s audited financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2022 and 2021 (“annual financial statements”).

b) Basis of measurement

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for those financial instruments which have been classified at fair value through profit or loss. In addition, except for cash flow information, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting.

c) Basis of consolidation

These financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company. Control exists where the parent entity has power over the investee and is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are included in the financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

All intercompany balances, and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

A summary of the Company’s subsidiaries included in these financial statements as at February 28, 2023 is as follows:

Country of Percentage Functional
Name of subsidiary incorporation ownership currency
Green Star Biosciences Inc.(1) Canada 100% USD
Eleusian Biosciences Corp. Canada 100% CAD
Lobe Sciences Australia PtyLtd.(2) Australia 100% AUD

(1) Green Star Biosciences Inc. was amalgamated with Lobe Sciences Ltd. on September 1, 2021.

(2) Lobe Sciences Australia Pty Ltd. was incorporated on September 7, 2022.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 3 to the annual financial statements, with the exception of the following:

(a) Significant estimates and assumptions

Convertible instruments

Convertible notes are compound financial instruments which are accounted for separately by their components: a financial liability and a derivative liability. The derivative liability, which represents the conversion option is initially measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The financial liability, which represents the obligation to pay the principal and coupon interest on the convertible notes in the future, is initially measured using the residual method as principal amount of the debt obligation less the initial fair value of the derivative liability at issuance.

The identification of convertible note components is based on interpretations of the substance of the contractual arrangement and therefore requires judgement from management. The separation of the components affects the initial recognition of the convertible notes at issuance and the subsequent recognition of accretion on the liability component. The determination of the fair value of the derivative liability is also based on a number of assumptions as the Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model for this measurement. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make various estimates and assumptions that impact the value assigned to the derivative liability including the forecasted future volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and the expected life of the conversion options. Changes in these input assumptions can significantly affect the fair value estimate.

(b) Convertible notes

The convertible notes were determined to be compound instruments, comprising a financial liability (debt obligation) and a derivative liability (conversion option). The derivative liability is recognized at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Using the residual method, the carrying amount of the debt obligation represents the difference between the principal amount and the derivative liability. The convertible notes, net of the conversion option, are accreted to the principal balance using the effective interest rate method over the term of the convertible notes, such that the carrying amount of the debt obligation will equal the principal balance at maturity.

The derivative liability associated with the conversion option of the convertible notes is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The derivative liability is initially measured on the transaction date, remeasured on each balance sheet date, and on such a date that the conversion option is exercised. The change in fair value is recognized as a gain or loss on the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Upon exercise of a conversion option, the conversion option's fair value is de-recognized and allocated to equity.

Upon exercise of the convertible debentures, the conversion option and the carrying value of debt obligation are reclassified to share capital. Transaction costs are allocated on a pro-rata basis between the debt obligation and the conversion option.

6. PREFERRED AND COMMON SHARES

a) Preferred shares

On February 22, 2021, the Company signed a definitive binding asset purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with respect to the sale to Ionic Brands Corp (“Ionic”) of certain assets relating to Washington-based Cowlitz County Cannabis Cultivators LLC (the “Cowlitz Disposal Group”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company received 100,406,705 Ionic preferred shares, from which 8,638,751 were paid as finder’s fee. The Ionic preferred shares are convertible on a one-for-one basis into Ionic common shares but cannot be converted for a period of four years if that results in the Company holding 10% or more of the common shares of Ionic. The Ionic preferred shares are subject to trading restrictions whereby the Ionic preferred shares or converted Ionic common shares will be restricted from trading and released as follows: 20% of the total preferred shares on October 5, 2021, January 5, 2022, April 5, 2022, June 5, 2022, and September 5, 2022.

A summary of the Company’s Ionic preferred shares is as follows:

Loss on change in fair value of preferred shares - (5,655,373)
Balance, August 31, 2022 and February 28, 2023 36,707,180 -

The Ionic preferred shares are measured at fair value through profit and loss. Fair value of the Ionic preferred shares was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model due to the vesting terms and lack of marketability at the current market price of Ionic common shares which the Ionic preferred shares can be converted into.

(1) Fair value of $14,094,450 represents the addition of $17,582,307 less finders’ fee of $1,489,632 and March 5, 2021 conversion of 10,030,629 Ionic preferred shares to Ionic common shares valued at $1,998,225.

As at and during the year ended August 31, 2022, the Company recorded and loss on the change of the fair value of the Ionic preferred shares of $5,655,373. This loss was based on the fair value measurement as noted in the table above and adjusted for qualitative factors related to the significant uncertainty of the Company recovering the value of the Ionic preferred shares due to the deteriorating credit quality of Ionic, the Voting Support and Lock-up Agreement (“VLA”) (Note 6(c)) and the probability of the completion of the plan of arrangement (Note 6(c)) completing as currently structured or without further significant delays. Currently, the common shares of Ionic have been suspended for trading.

Each Ionic preferred share carries a 13% annual, cumulative, preferential dividend on the deemed issue price per share of $0.30, accrued daily and with the first payment due January 1, 2022 or on conversion, for a period of two years from the date of issuance. The dividend may be settled in cash or Ionic common shares at the option of Ionic. If settled in Ionic common shares, the Company will receive common shares equal to the amount payable divided by the closing price of Ionic common shares as of the dividend date.

A summary of the Company’s dividend receivable is as follows:

Pursuant to the VLA, the Company agreed to the following on the effective date of the Plan of Arrangement:

  • convert 36,707,180 Ionic preferred shares to Ionic common shares resulting in the Company holding 57,229,991 Ionic common shares;

  • • enter into an escrow agreement for the Yourway common shares held by the Company whereby the Yourway common shares will be released quarterly in 5 equal tranches commencing 12 months from the effective date of the Plan of Arrangement;

  • accept 9,900,000 Ionic common share purchase warrants (the “Consideration Warrants”) with each Consideration Warrant entitling the Company to acquire one Ionic common share at $0.05 per Ionic common share for three years from the date of issuance in exchange for forgiveness of the dividend receivable; and

  • convert the 4,000,000 Warrants and 9,900,000 Consideration Warrants, at an exchange ratio of 0.0525, into warrants exercisable into approximately 720,000 Yourway common shares at an exercise price of $0.95.

14. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

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 value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The fair value of Ionic common shares, dividend receivable, promissory note receivable, Ionic preferred shares and Warrants are measured using Level 2 inputs and are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The valuation methodology and significant assumptions for the Ionic preferred shares and dividend receivable are disclosed in Note 6(a), Ionic common shares is disclosed in Note 6(b), Warrants is disclosed in Note 7 and promissory note receivable in Note 8.

The derivative liability is measured using Level 3 as disclosed in Note 12.
