INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Shareholders of Orchid Ventures, Inc. (DBA “Orchid Essentials”),
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Orchid Ventures, Inc. (DBA “Orchid Essentials”) (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at June 30, 2020 and May 31, 2019, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the thirteen month period ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended May 31, 2019, 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 June 30, 2020 and May 31, 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the thirteen month period ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended May 31, 2019 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. 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. (cont’d…)

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 Rakesh Patel.

ORCHID VENTURES, INC. (DBA “ORCHID ESSENTIALS”) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THIRTEEN MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 (Expressed in US dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Orchid Ventures, Inc. (DBA “Orchid Essentials”) was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on February 9, 2011 and was formerly Earny Resources Ltd. (“Earny”).
The Company’s head office, principal address and records office is 1220 Main Street, Suite 400, Vancouver, WA 98660, United States. The registered office is also 1220 Main Street, Suite 400, Vancouver, WA 98660, United States.
On March 7, 2019, the Company completed a business combination with CR International, Inc. (“CR International”). The transaction was an arm’s length transaction and constituted a reverse takeover (“RTO”) of Earny by CR International, pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”). CR International was organized in the State of Nevada on June 18, 2018 by the shareholders of CR Companies, LLC (“CR Companies”), a company organized in the State of California on November 9, 2017. CR International and CR Companies completed a corporate reorganization (the “Corporate Reorganization”), the purpose of which was to facilitate the listing of CR Companies on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”), see Note 5. In connection with the RTO, the Company voluntarily delisted from the TSX-V and received approval to list its common shares on the CSE on March 15, 2019.
The Company is in the business of product development, branding, manufacturing and distribution of vape products containing cannabis.
To date, the Company has incurred losses and further losses are anticipated as the Company further develops its business. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future, and to continue to secure additional financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise additional financing or if financing is available that it will be on terms that are acceptable to the Company. As at June 30, 2020, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $15,727,985 (May 31, 2019 - $8,676,528) and a working capital deficiency of $1,786,153 (May 31, 2019 excess of $2,580,475). These events and conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Further, in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. While the impact of COVID-19 is expected to be temporary, the current circumstances are dynamic and the impacts of COVID-19 on business operations cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be impacted by adverse consequences that may be brought about by the pandemic’s impact on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the future.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These consolidated 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”).
The Company’s board of directors approved the release of these consolidated financial statements on January 15, 2021.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in US dollars and all financial amounts, other than per-share amounts, are rounded to the nearest dollar. The functional currency of the Company is the US dollar.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
During the year, the Company changed its fiscal year from May 31 to June 30.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all years presented in these financial statements unless otherwise indicated. Certain of the prior year’s figures may be reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation.
The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar. The reporting currency is the United States dollar.
(a) Basis of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and the following subsidiaries:
| Entity | Registered | Holding |
|---|---|---|
| CR Companies, LLC | California, USA | 100% owned |
| CR International, Inc. | Nevada, USA | 100% owned |
| Orchid Brands LLC | Delaware, USA | 100% owned |
| CR Products, LLC (DBA “PurTec Delivery Systems”) | California, USA | 100% owned |
| CR Manufacturing OR, Inc. | Oregon, USA | 100% owned |
| CR Property Management, LLC | Nevada, USA | 100% owned |
| Purcell Innovations, LLC (formerly “CR Naturals LLC”, | Nevada, USA | 100% owned |
| DBA “CellG8 Technologies”) | ||
| CR Manufacturing CA, Inc. | California, USA | 100% owned |
| CA Forrest Green Distribution, LLC (“CA Forrest”) | California, USA | 100% owned |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Earny from March 7, 2019, the date of the RTO. The financial statements prior to this date only include the accounts of CR International, Inc. and CR Companies, LLC.
The subsidiaries are controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to the variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
(b) Basis of combination
Common control transactions are accounted for using either the fair value or pooling of interest method of accounting. The Company has chosen to apply the pooling of interest method to account for such business combinations.
(c) Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods and consumables. The Company periodically reviews its consumables for obsolete and potentially impaired items. The Company values finished goods at the lower of average cost, which is net of vendor rebates, and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventory in the ordinary course of business, less any estimated selling costs. Cost of inventory includes expenditures in acquiring the inventories, production costs and other cost incurred in bringing them to their existing location.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(d) Accounts receivable
The Company reviews all outstanding accounts receivable for collectability on a quarterly basis. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for any amounts deemed uncollectable. The Company does not accrue interest receivable on past due accounts receivable.
(e) Revenue recognition
In accordance with IFRS 15, the Company recognizes revenue, excluding interest and dividend income and other such income from financial instruments recognized in accordance with IFRS 9, upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services based on the following five step approach:
Step1: Identify the contracts with customers; Step2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract; Step3: Determine the transaction price; Step4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and Step5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations upon shipment of the goods, or upon delivery as the services are rendered or upon completion of services depending on whether the performance obligations are satisfied over time or at a point in time. The Company primarily acts as principal in contracts with its customers. The Company does not have material obligations for returns, refunds and other similar obligations, nor warranties and related obligations.
For performance obligations that the Company satisfies over time, the Company typically uses time-based measures of progress because the Company is providing a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer.
For performance obligations that the Company satisfies at a point in time, the Company typically uses shipment or delivery of goods and/or services in evaluating when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services.
A significant financing component exists and is accounted for if the timing of payments agreed to by the parties to the contract provides the customer or the Company with a significant benefit of financing the transfer of goods and services to the customer. As a practical expedient, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
The incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers and the costs incurred in fulfilling contracts with customers that are directly associated with the contract are recognized as an asset (hereinafter, “assets arising from contract costs”) if those costs are expected to be recoverable, which are included in other long-term assets in the consolidated statements of financial position. The incremental costs of obtaining contracts are those costs that the Company incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that they would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. As a practical expedient, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. Assets arising from contract costs are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated contract periods.
The Company exercises judgments in determining the amount of the costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer, which includes, but is not limited to (a) the likelihood of obtaining the contract, (b) the estimate of the profitability of the contract, and (c) the credit risk of the customer. An impairment loss will be recognized in profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds (a) the remaining amount of consideration that the entity

expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services to which the asset relates, less (b) the costs that relate directly to providing those goods or services and that have not been recognized as expenses.
The Company generally provides warranties for general repairs of defects that existed at the time of sale, as required by law, for production hardware products. As such, most warranties are assurance-type warranties under IFRS 15, which the Company accounts for under IAS 37- Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, consistent with its practice prior to the adoption of IFRS 15.
(f) Cost of sales
Cost of sales includes manufacturing costs and other costs incurred in bringing inventory to its present condition and location.
(g) Equipment
Equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line method to write off the cost of the assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives. The useful lives applicable to each category of equipment is as follows:
| Class | Useful Lives |
|---|---|
| Computers | 3 years |
| Equipment | 10 years |
| Furniture | 7 years |
(h) Intangibles
Intangible assets, comprised of trademarks and licenses, are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed the contractual period, if any. Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. The estimated useful lives, residual values and amortization methods are reviewed at each year-end, and any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. As of June 30, 2020, the Company recognized impairment losses in its licenses of $111,000 (May 31, 2019 - $Nil) (Note 9).
(i) Financial instruments
The following table shows the classification of financial instruments:
| Financial assets | |
|---|---|
| Cash | FVTPL |
| Receivables | Amortized cost |
| Financial liabilities | |
| Trade payables, wages payable and loans payable | Amortized cost |

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(i) Financial instruments (continued)
The following are accounting policies for financial assets under IFRS 9.
The Company classifies its financial assets in one of the following categories: (1) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), (2) financial assets at amortized cost or (3) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”). The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial asset held at FVTPL are included in the statement of loss in the period in which they arise.
Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date.
Financial assets at FVTOCI
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized 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 comprehensive income. There is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the de-recognition of the investment.
Financial assets are derecognized when they mature or are sold, and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. Gains and losses on de-recognition of financial assets classified as FVTPL or amortized cost are recognized in the statement of loss. Gains or losses on financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive income.
Impairment of financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. If such evidence exists, an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of loss. Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost, including loans and receivables, are calculated as the difference between the amortized cost of the loan or receivable and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted using the instrument’s original effective interest rate. 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 related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and in the case of financial liabilities not subsequently measured at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, canceled, or expired. Trade payables and accrued liabilities, debentures and deferred consideration on acquisition are classified as financial liabilities to be subsequently measured at amortized cost.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(i) Financial instruments (continued)
Fair value hierarchy
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of the financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1 – Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or indirectly such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions.
Level 3 – Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable market data.
Cash deposits have been measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs. The carrying value of trade receivables, trade payables, wages payable and loans payable approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments or their ability of prompt liquidation.
(j) Income taxes
Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax assets and liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit which differs from profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of goodwill or on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a business combination or affects taxable profit or accounting profit. Deferred tax liabilities on temporary differences associated with shares in subsidiaries and joint ventures is not provided for if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the Company and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are likely to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in profit or loss in the period that includes the substantive enactment date. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a right and intention to offset current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or simultaneously in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(j) Income taxes (continued)
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of income or expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.
(k) Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
For assets that generate largely independent cash inflows, which is comprised of intangible assets of the Company, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit (‘CGU’) to which the asset belongs. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or CGU in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
(l) Share-based payments
Share-based payment arrangements in which the Company receives goods or services as consideration for its own equity instruments are accounted for as equity-settled transactions and, when determinable, are recorded at the value of the goods and services received. If the value of the goods and services received is not determinable, then the fair value of the share-based payment is used.
The Company uses a fair value-based method (Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model) for all share options granted to directors, employees and certain non-employees. For directors and employees, the fair value of the share options is measured at the date of grant. For grants to non-employees where the fair value of the goods or services is not determinable, the fair value of the share options is measured on the date the services are received.
The fair value of share-based payments is charged to profit or loss or with the offsetting credit to reserve. For directors, employees and consultants, the share options are recognized over the vesting period based on the best available estimate of the number of share options expected to vest. If options vest immediately, the expense is recognized when the options are issued. Estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that the number of share options expected to vest differs from previous estimates. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognized in the current period. No adjustment is made to any expense recognized in prior periods where vested. For non-employees, the share options are recognized over the related service period. When share options are exercised, the amounts previously recognized in reserve are transferred to share capital.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(l) Share-based payments (continued)
In the event share options are forfeited prior to vesting, the associated fair value recorded to date is reversed. The fair value of any vested share options that expire remain in reserve.
(m) Earnings (loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) (the numerator) by the weighted average number of outstanding shares for the period (denominator). In computing diluted earnings per share, an adjustment is made for the dilutive effect of outstanding share options, warrants and other convertible instruments.
In the periods when the Company reports a net loss, the effect of potential issuances of shares under share options and other convertible instruments is anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic and diluted loss per share are the same. When diluted earnings per share is calculated, only those share options and other convertible instruments with exercise prices below the average trading price of the Company’s shares for the period will be dilutive.
(n) Related party transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. Related party transactions that are in the normal course of business and have commercial substance are measured at the exchange amount.
(o) Foreign currency translation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in US dollars. The individual financial statements of each subsidiary are presented in its functional currency, the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the US dollar.
Transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of the exchange in effect as at the statement of financial position date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the time of the acquisition of the assets or assumption of the liabilities. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognized in profit or loss.
(p) Recent accounting pronouncements
The following IFRS standard has been recently issued by the IASB. Pronouncements that are not applicable or where it has been determined do not have a significant impact to the Company have been excluded herein.
Leases
On June 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 – Leases (“IFRS 16”) which replaced IAS 17 Leases and IFRIC 4 – Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases for a lessee. Instead, all leases are treated in a similar way to finance leases applied in IAS 17. IFRS 16 does not require a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for short-term leases (i.e. leases of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets.
The Company applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, financial information will not be restated and will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company will recognize lease liabilities related to its lease commitments for each of its leases. The lease liabilities will be measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s estimated incremental

borrowing rate as at June 1, 2019, the date of initial application, resulting in no adjustment to the opening balance of deficit. The associated right-of-use assets will be measured at the lease liabilities amount, plus prepaid lease payments made by the Company. The Company has implemented the following accounting policies permitted under the new standard:
-
a) leases of low dollar value will continue to be expensed as incurred; and
-
b) the Company will not apply any grandfathering practical expedients.
New accounting policy for leases under IFRS 16
The following is the accounting policy for leases as of June 1, 2019 upon adoption of IFRS 16:
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company assesses whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset during the term of the arrangement exists, and if the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative standalone prices.
As a lessee, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which is comprised of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any decommissioning and restoration costs, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term, or the end of the useful life of the asset. In addition, the right-of-use asset may be reduced due to impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of:
-
a) fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;
-
b) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
-
c) amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;
-
d) exercise prices of purchase options if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
-
e) payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or if there is a change in the estimate or assessment of the expected amount payable under a residual value guarantee, purchase, extension or termination option. Variable lease payments not included in the initial measurement of the lease liability are charged directly to profit or loss.
As at June 1, 2019 the Company recognized $883,258 in right-of-use assets and $883,258 of incremental lease obligations (Note 16).

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future that affect the amounts recorded. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, expectations of future events and other factors considered by management to be reasonable. The estimates and assumptions that could result in a material impact to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are outlined below:
Use of Estimates
(a) Inventory valuation
The Company records a write-down to reflect management’s best estimate of the net realizable value of inventory which includes assumptions and estimates for future sell-through of units, selling prices as well as disposal costs, where appropriate, based on historical experience. Management continually reviews the carrying value of its inventory, to assess whether the write-down is adequate, based on current economic conditions and an assessment of sales trends.
(b) Share-based compensation
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and consultants by reference to the fair value of equity instruments at the date on which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payments requires determining the most appropriate valuation model for a grant of equity instruments, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant.
(c) Equipment
Depreciation of property and equipment is dependent upon estimates of useful lives which are determined through the exercise of judgment. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.
(d) Recognition and valuation of deferred tax assets
The recognition of deferred tax assets is based upon whether it is probable that sufficient and suitable taxable profits will be available in the future or whether taxable temporary differences will reverse such that deferred tax assets can be utilized. Recognition therefore involves a degree of estimation and judgement regarding the future financial performance or the timing of the reversed deferred tax liabilities where deferred tax assets have been recognized.
(e) Reverse takeover
Refer to Note 5 for disclosure on the reverse takeover Transaction, which included estimates on the fair value of consideration paid, along with an assessment of fair value of net assets acquired.
(f) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of estimated discounts. The Company considers the terms of the sales contracts as well as industry practices, taking into consideration the type of customer, the nature of the transaction and the specific circumstances of each arrangement.
( g) Deferred revenue
Payments from customer received in advance of the revenue recognition criteria is deferred and recorded as a liability until it is earned.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (continued)
(h) Expected credit losses
The Company recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for all financial assets not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
For trade receivables and contract assets, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. A financial asset is considered in default when contractual payments are 365 days past due. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk but makes a loss allowance based on 12 months ECL.
A financial asset may also be considered to be in default if internal or external information indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
(i) Warranty provision
The Company estimates warranty expense based on historical records, taking into account the likelihood of a warranty issue, estimated costs of warranty repair and total units in the market. The Company records a liability in respect of estimated future warranty costs. The actual cost that the Company may incur and the timing of the repairs to be carried out may differ significantly from the estimated accrual.
The Company warrants that its products will operate substantially in conformity with product documentation. The Company accrues for known warranty issues if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated and accrues for estimated incurred but unidentified warranty issues based on historical activity. To date, the Company has had no material warranty claims .
Use of judgments
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgements, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgements applying to the Company’s financial statements include the assessment of the Company’s going concern.
5. REVERSE TAKEOVER
On March 7, 2019, the Company completed an RTO transaction (Note 1), whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of CR International, Inc.
Pursuant to the RTO, the Company issued an aggregate of 39,364,852 common shares of the Company in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of CR International. For accounting purposes, the acquisition was considered to be a reverse acquisition under IFRS 3 Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”) as the shareholders of CR International obtained control of Earny. However, as Earny did not meet the definition of a business as defined by IFRS 3, it has been accounted for as a share-based payment transaction in accordance with IFRS 2.
Concurrent with the completion of the RTO, Earny completed a private placement consisting of the issuance of 14,344,511 common shares at a price of CDN $0.33 per unit, for proceeds of $3,495,166.

ORCHID VENTURES, INC. (DBA “ORCHID ESSENTIALS”) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THIRTEEN MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 (Expressed in US dollars)
5. REVERSE TAKEOVER (continued)
The accounting for this transaction resulted in the following:
-
(i) The consolidated financial statements of the combined entity are issued under the legal parent, Earny, but were considered a continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary, CR International.
-
(ii) As CR International was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes, its assets and liabilities were included in the consolidated financial statements at their historical carrying values. During the year ended May 31, 2019, prior to the completion of the RTO, CR International completed the Corporate Reorganization with CR Companies (Note 1). The Company applied the pooling of interest method to account for this transaction between entities under common control.
-
(iii) Since the shares allocated to the former shareholders of Earny on closing the RTO were considered within the scope of IFRS 2, and the Company could not identify specifically some or all of the goods or service received in return for the allocation of the shares, the value in excess of the net identifiable assets or obligations of Earny acquired on closing was expensed in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss as a listing expense.
The fair value of the 6,444,998 common shares of Earny was determined to be $1,573,868.
- (iv) The fair value of all the consideration given and charged to listing expense was comprised of:
| Fair value of the common shares at RTO date Identifiable assets acquired – At March 7, 2019 Bank indebtedness GST receivable Prepaids Trade payables Unidentified assets acquired Listing expense Total net identifiable assets and transaction costs |
$ 1,573,868 |
|---|---|
| (117,578) 7,558 21,334 (1,499) |
|
| (90,185) 1,664,053 |
|
| $ 1,573,868 |
Upon completion of the RTO, a finder’s fee of 2,000,000 common shares were issued to an arm’s length third party. Accordingly, the fair value of $487,318 was recorded as a listing expense. The Company also incurred costs in the amount of $18,357, which have been included in listing expense.
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the period ended June 30, 2020 the Company incurred:
-
(a) $Nil (year ended May 31, 2019 - $21,627) in rent expense to an entity related by a common director and officer.
-
(b) $Nil (year ended May 31, 2019 – $36,000) in marketing expense to an entity related by a common director and officer.
A total of $390,192 (May 31, 2019 - $96,000) was recorded in trade payables and $263,136 (May 31, 2019 - $87,400) was recorded in wages payable for amounts due to directors and officers of the Company. The amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment.

d) GreenBloom Arbitration
During the thirteen month period ended June 30, 2020, the Company entered into the following series of related transactions -
On July 3, 2019, as last amended on July 29, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with GreenBloom for the acquisition of certain assets (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). As consideration, the Company will pay an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000 to be paid over 12 months from the date of closing, and issue 50,000,000 common shares at a price of CAD $0.50 per share (the “Payment Shares”). To June 30, 2020, the Company issued 5,078,623 common shares at a fair value of $805,841.
On July 29, 2010, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement, whereby the Company agreed to acquire the issued and outstanding common shares of Bimini Farms, Inc. (“Bimini”) As initial consideration, the Company was obligated to pay a non-refundable deposit of $100,040 (paid).
On September 20, 2019, the Company also entered into a Commercial Lease Agreement (the "Lease Agreement”) with a company related by way of common shareholders, which provided the Company a lease for real property located in, Calexico, California. The premise is to be used as cannabis cultivation, manufacturing, distribution and retail as permitted by state and local jurisdictions. In the event the Company is unable to secure a cannabis cultivation license from the City of Calexico, the Company will remain liable for the first month’s rent, last month’s rent, and security deposit, totaling $540,000 (unpaid), which will be retained as a termination fee. The Company will otherwise be released of any further liability under the Lease Agreement
Upon completion of the due diligence process, the Company served notice of termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement and Lease Agreement. Further, the Company determined not to pursue the purchase of Bimini. Accordingly, to June 30, 2020, the Company has recorded an impairment of asset acquisition of $905,881.
On November 6, 2019, GreenBloom filed an arbitration claim against the Company seeking $10,000,000 in damages for breach of contract and damages for termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Lease Agreement. The Company has assessed the claim and believes it is without merit and that it is unlikely for Greenbloom to prevail in the arbitration.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to certain financial risks as listed below. There has been no change in the exposure to risk, nor its objectives, policies and process for managing the risk from the prior year. Disclosures relating to exposure to risks, in particular credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk are provided below.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and trade receivables. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk with respect to cash by investing available cash with major banks in the United States of America. The Company’s cash is not subject to any external restrictions
The Company’s receivables are due as follows:
| are due as follows: | |
|---|---|
| Current 31-60 days Over 60 days |
June 30, 2020 May 31, 2019 As At |
| $ $ 81 105,000 63,708 568,000 5,961 1,600,289 |
|
| 69,750 2,273,289 |
With respect to receivables, the Company mitigates the risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. The Company monitors collectability of receivables on an on-going basis to determine credit risk. At June 30, 2020 any accounts receivable due beyond one year have been provided for in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Liquidity Risk
As at June 30, 2020 the Company had cash of $76,017 (May 31, 2019 - $111,671) available to settle current liabilities of $2,721,559 (May 31, 2019 - $1,435,983), all of which are due within one year. The Company expects to finance its inventory purchases and administrative expenditures through cash flows from operations, debt, as well as equity financing. Liquidity risk is assessed as high.
Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk with respect to foreign currency risk. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, trade payables and accrued liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency. As at June 30, 2020, the Company had trade payables of $319,977 (May 31, 2019 - $Nil) denominated in foreign currencies. Management’s assessment of the Company’s exposure to market risk is low.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is minimal.

15. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
As at June 30, 2020 the Company’s capital is composed of share capital. The Company’s primary objectives, when managing its capital, are to maintain adequate levels of funding to support the manufacturing operations of the Company and to maintain corporate and administrative functions.
The Company defines capital as cash and equity, consisting of the issued share capital. The capital structure of the Company is managed to provide sufficient funding operating activities. Funds are primarily secured through a combination of equity capital raised by way of private placements and short-term debt. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to continue raising equity capital and short-term debt in this manner. The Company invests all capital that is surplus to its immediate needs in short-term, liquid and highly rated financial instruments, such as cash and other short-term deposits, which are all held with major financial institutions.
There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the thirteen-month period ended June 30, 2020.

17. SEGMENTED INFORMATION AND ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE
The Company operates primarily in a single geographical segment, being North America. The North American segment and four major customers make up approximately 60% (2019 – 100%) of the Company’s sales and receivables.
18. WARRANT LIABILITY
In connection with the private placement completed during the period ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued a total of 10,115,089 warrants exercisable at a price of CDN $0.18. These warrants were allocated a grant date fair value of $122,716 using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
The fair value of the liability as at June 30, 2020 was $185,959 and is recorded as a derivative financial liability as these warrants are exercisable in Canadian dollars, differing from the Company’s functional currency. Accordingly, the Company recorded a fair value change in warrant liability of $63,243.
The fair value of the warrants is calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. Option pricing models require the input of highly speculative assumptions, including the expected future price volatility of a Company’s shares. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and, therefore, existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s warrants.
The Company used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of the warrant liability:
| Risk-free interest rate Expected stock price volatility Dividend payment during liife of warrant Expected forfeiture rate Expected dividend yield Expected warrant life in years Weighted average strike price Weighted average share price |
On Grant Year End |
|---|---|
| 1.59% 0.26% 100.00% 201.11% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 2.00 1.33 0.18 0.18 0.06 0.05 |
19. ADVANCE
On March 11, 2020, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) between PurTec Delivery Systems, LLC (“Purtec”) and Innovative Packaging Company, Inc. (“IPC”) in order to pursue a joint venture to be formalized at a future date. The LOI provided for an initial payment of $100,000 (the “Advance”) from IPC (received). The payment is non-refundable and if terms for a joint venture are not agreed upon, IPC would be permitted to fund orders for PurTec customers as well as markup product from PurTec to recoup the payment. To June 30, 2020 the terms of a joint venture have not been finalized and accordingly, the Company has commenced drawing down the Advance. Once the $150,000 is drawn-down, there will be no remaining obligation. As at June 30, 2020, $80,688 remains as an Advance.

Pursuant to the Licensing Agreement, the Company will have the global exclusive right to sell CELLg8® for use in THC products and the non-exclusive right to sell the product within CBD, supplement, vitamin, and nutraceutical industries. Under the Licensing Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,000,000 common share purchase warrants (“Warrants”) which allow the Licensors to acquire one common share of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.05 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months. Certain of the Warrants are subject to certain vesting milestones, as follows: (a) 750,000 Warrants are immediately exercisable (outstanding); (b) 750,000 Warrants once the Company does US$3MM in aggregate sales of CELLg8®; (c) an additional 750,000 Warrants once the Company does US$10MM in aggregate sales of CELLg8®; and (d) 750,000 Warrants once the Company does US$15MM in aggregate sales of CELLg8®. The Warrants issued in connection with the Licensing Agreement are non-transferable and any Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise thereof will be subject to a four-month-and one-day statutory hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.
The grant date fair value of the warrants of $6,444 was recorded as share based payments and was determined using Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions – risk free interest rate: 1.58%, expected stock price volatility – 100%, expected dividend yield – 0.0%, expected life – 2 years.
To maintain global exclusivity of CELLg8® use in THC products, the Company must meet the following purchase requirements:
-
i) Purchasing at least US$350,000 in products from CELLg8® by the end of the first consecutive 6-month period;

The Licensee paid the Company $50,000 as a License Activation Fee (Note 22) and ownership of the OLCC distribution license was transferred to the Licensee on October 26, 2020 and accordingly classified the license as held for sale (Note 9).
The Licensee has agreed to pay Orchid $630,000 USD for the acquisition of Orchid’s inventory and revenue in an Oregon facility, and the rights to expand into Colorado and Oklahoma, plus the opportunity to secure the rights to license Orchid Essentials in other domestic states. Orechid LLC, will pay the Company a licensing fee on all Orchid Essentials brand sales over a 10-year term and as part of the licensing agreement, will purchase all vaporizer hardware and packaging through PurTec Delivery Systems, an Orchid Ventures subsidiary. As of June 30, 2020, no further payments have been paid to the Company by the Licensee.
