PharmaTher Holdings Ltd.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements November 30, 2023 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

1. Business of the Company and going concern

PharmaTher Holdings Inc. ("PharmaTher" or the "Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Colombia). The registered head office of the Company is 82 Richmond Street East, Toronto, Ontario M5C 1P1.

PharmaTher is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing KETARX™ (racemic ketamine) delivered by intravenous and intramuscular injection, microneedle patch, and on-body pump for mental health, neurological and pain disorders.

On October 1, 2020, the Company's common shares were approved for listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") and began trading on the CSE under the trading symbol "PHRM" as of market open on October 9, 2020.

On January 13, 2021, the common shares of the Company were approved for trading on the OTCQB® Venture Market (“OTCQB”). The Company’s U.S. listing will trade under the symbol “PHRRF” while the Company’s primary Canadian listing will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under "PHRM".

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in a going concern basis of presentation, which assumes that the Company will continue operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize the carrying value of its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. To date, the Company has not earned significant revenue and incurred a comprehensive loss of $2,391,979 during the six months ended November 30, 2023.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional capital to meet its present and future commitments. If additional financing is arranged through the issuance of shares, control of the Company may change and shareholders may suffer significant dilution. In addition, the Company has not generated any revenue to date. These circumstances indicate that material uncertainties exist that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and, accordingly, the ultimate use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, and such adjustments may be material.

PharmaTher Holdings Ltd.

2. Basis of Presentation

Statement of compliance

The Company applies International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full audited annual financial statements.

The policies applied in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of January 26, 2024, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as compared with the most recent financial statements as at and for the year ended May 31, 2023, except as noted below. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending May 31, 2024 could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of new accounting policy

Investment in associate

Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity. Investment in an associate is accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investee) and is recognized initially at cost. When applicable, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the Company’s share of the income (loss) and expenses and equity movements of equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company from the date that significant influence or joint control commences, until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. When the Company’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest, including any long-term investments, is reduced to $nil, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued, except to the extent that the Company has an obligation, or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

Inter-company balances and transactions, and any unrealized income (loss) and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated in preparing the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Company’s interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods on or after June 1, 2023 or later periods. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded. The following has not yet been adopted and is being evaluated to determine their impact on the Company.

IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”) and IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (“IAS 28”) were amended in September 2014 to address a conflict between the requirements of IAS 28 and IFRS 10 and clarify that in a transaction involving an associate or joint venture, the extent of gain or loss recognition depends on whether the assets sold or contributed constitute a business. The effective date of these amendments is yet to be determined, however early adoption is permitted.

3. Investment

During the year ended May 31, 2021, the Company received 6,666,667 shares of Revive Therapeutics Ltd. ("Revive") valued at $4,000,000 and cash of $3,000,000 for sale of the full rights to PharmaTher's intellectual property pertaining to psilocybin. As at November 30, 2023, the fair value of investment in Revive shares was $140,000 (May 31, 2023 - $333,333), resulting in an unrealized loss on investment of $180,000 and $193,333, respectively during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023 (three and six months ended November 30, 2022 - loss of $1,533,333 and $2,100,000, respectively).

4. Investment in associate

On July 18, 2023, PharmaTher Inc. the wholly-owned subsidiary of PharmaTher Holdings Ltd, entered into a unanimous shareholders agreement pursuant to which PharmaTher Inc. will subscribe for 144,117,647 common shares of PharmaDrug Inc. ("PharmaDrug")'s subsidiary Sairiyo Therapeutics Inc. ("Sairiyo") for $300,000. PharmaTher Inc. is a 49% shareholder of Sairiyo. In the event that PharmaDrug elects not to participate in any new issuance, PharmaTher Inc. may increase its ownership from 49% to 51% with an investment of $250,000. Either side may increase its ownership by 10% for additional $100,000 investments. Neither side may be diluted beyond a 10% carried interest. The Company is diversifying its product portfolio with its stake in Sariyo, whose sole asset is a patented reformulated version of the drug Cepharanthine as a potential treatment for medical countermeasures and cancer. Based on the factors, management has assessed that the Company has significant influence over Sairiyo and that the investment should be accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

A continuity of the Company's investment in associate is as follows:
