Description of Business

The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporation Act of Alberta on August 31, 1998 and was continued to British Columbia on January 30, 2006. On August 2, 2018, the Company completed a change of business and corporate name change to become a merchant bank focused on medical cannabis and hemp. Previously, the Company changed its name from AAN Ventures Inc. to Parana Copper Corporation on May 25, 2017. The Company’s shares are publicly traded on the OTC Markets, Frankfurt Exchange and Canadian Stock Exchange (the “CSE”) under the symbol “LOAN”.

The Company provides advisory services, debt and equity funding in the mid to late stages of a target company’s development, or in technologies that are developed and validated but may be in the early stage of commercialization in the medical cannabis, hemp and CBD markets. The head office, principal address and records office of the Company are located at 100 - 1111 Melville St Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 3V6.

On January 22, 2021, the Company consolidated the Company’s issued share capital on a ratio of four (4) old common shares for every one (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, stock options and warrants have been restated to give effect to this Share Consolidation. Additionally, the Company changed their name to Global Wellness Strategies Inc.

Directors and Officers of the Company

The board of directors of the Company consists of Meris Kott, Mark Ireton, Ashleigh Vogstad and Lindsey Perry Jr. The management team of the Company is comprised of Meris Kott, CEO, Stephen Brohman, CFO and Monita Faris, Corporate Secretary.

Outlook

Global Wellness Strategies has established the first tier of its investment client portfolio during its first fiscal year. The Company will focus in 2021 on developing additional revenue streams with their Best in Class Corporate Advisory Services, joint venture partnerships, corporate re-organizations, valuation adjustments, and corporate development strategy.

Going Concern

The Company incurred a net loss of $1,117,797 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, has an accumulated deficit of $38,008,583 and has had recurring losses since inception. The Company does not have sufficient funds to sustain its operations over the next twelve months. Management is considering all possible financing alternatives, including equity and debt financing to finance the future operations.

The ability to continue operating as a going concern is dependent on raising additional funding to develop successful businesses. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. These circumstances lead to substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they become due and, accordingly, as to the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

The Company is classified as a merchant bank focused on medical cannabis, hemp and CBD markets both Canada and the United States. The Company made several secured loans to cannabis companies during the year ended September 30, 2019.

Convertible Loan Portfolio and Investments

Biolog, Inc.

On August 21, 2018 ("Effective Date"), the Company subscribed for a convertible secured promissory note with Biolog, Inc. ("Biolog"), a private company incorporated in the State of Utah. The Company has agreed to advance up to USD$800,000 in tranches. Advances are secured by the assets of Biolog and bear interest at 14%, payable monthly, and the promissory note is due on September 1, 2020. On the Effective Date, the Company advanced $194,000. The note may be converted into common shares of Biolog at a price equal to a 10% discount to the valuation of Biolog immediately from any financing immediately prior to the date of conversion.

In addition, Biolog issued warrants equivalent to 20% of the amount of the note based upon its valuation as of the Effective Date which is stipulated to be USD$10,000,000. The option to settle the convertible note and warrants in common shares of Biolog represents an embedded derivative in the form of a call option to the Company. Biolog is a private company and its shares cannot be reliably valued using any marketderived indicators. Accordingly, the derivative asset was initially recognized by the Company at $nil value. As at September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2020, the fair value of the derivative asset remained the same.

Management completed a thorough analysis as to any expected credit losses on certain of its financial assets. Accordingly, management has been unable to review financial information of Biolog and has assessed the high likelihood of un-collectability in respect to the principal portion of the loan. Thus, the entire balance of convertible note receivable remains impaired. As such time the loan is repaid in full, the Company will recognize a recovery of the impairment amount. This loan continues to be secured by the borrowers’ assets. As at September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2021, the loan was in default. The Company will be taking the steps of recovery through the borrowers’ assets.

Advances are secured by the assets of Biopharma and bears interest at 14% annually, payable monthly; and the promissory note is due on October 1, 2020. On the Effective Date, the Company advanced $255,000 under the note. The note may be converted into common shares of Biopharma at a price equal to a 10% discount to the price assigned to the common shares of Biopharma from any financing immediately prior to the date of conversion. The Company is not able to exert significant influence over the operations of Biopharma.

In addition, Biopharma issued 18,684 warrants, exercisable at a price of $2.10 per warrant, to acquire one Class A common share in the capital of Biopharma for a period of 24 months. The option to settle the convertible note and the stock warrants in Class A common shares of Biopharma represents an embedded derivative in the form of a call option. Biopharma is a private company and its shares cannot be reliably valued using any market-derived indicators. As at September 30, 2018, the Company had not received repayment of such note and management has assessed the high likelihood of collectability. Thus, the entire balance of convertible note receivable had been impaired.

On October 1, 2018, a further $250,000 was loaned to Biopharma under the same terms as the previously loaned $255,000. This loan continues to be secured by the borrowers’ assets. During the period ended September 30, 2020, Biopharma has made monthly interest payments in accordance with the promissory note totaling $47,176.

Management completed a thorough analysis as to any expected credit losses on certain of its financial assets. Accordingly, management has not been satisfied through the review of financial information of Biominerales and has assessed the high likelihood of un-collectability in respect to the principal portion of the loan. Thus, the entire balance of convertible note receivable has been impaired $505,000 as at

On October 9, 2018, the Company made a first tranche loan of $220,740 CDN to RxMM. This loan continues to be secured by the borrowers’ assets.

The entire loan was converted on March 20, 2019 to a 5% equity interest in MWL.

On March 20, 2019, the Company converted its $100,000 convertible loan receivable to 5% of the common shares in MWL. The investment in MWL was recorded at cost as the Company does not have significant influence nor control over MWL. On September 30, 2019, due to the inability of the Company to obtain recent financial information of MWL and given the Company did not receive any returns from this investment, the Company had impaired this investment to $nil, resulting in an impairment loss of $100,000. The Company assessed the investment at June 30, 2021and no reversal of impairment was noted

Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies of the Company are listed in the Note 2 to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2020.

Financial Instruments and Risks Management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its bank account. All of its cash is deposited in a bank account held with a major bank in Canada. As most of the Company’s cash is held by one bank there is a concentration of credit risk. This risk is managed by using a major bank that is a high credit quality financial institution as determined by rating agencies. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments.

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company is not exposed to significant foreign exchange risk.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises through the excess of financial obligations over available financial assets due at any point in time. The Company’s objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient readily available reserves in order to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time.

Historically, the Company’s main source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements. The Company’s access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding.

Capital Management

Management’s objective is to manage its capital to ensure that there are adequate capital resources to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through the optimization of its capital structure. The capital structure consists of share capital and working capital.

In order to achieve this objective, management makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust capital structure, management may invest its excess cash in interest bearing accounts of Canadian chartered banks and/or raise additional funds externally as needed.
