Psyched Wellness Ltd.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Six Months Ended May 31, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern
Psyched Wellness Ltd. (“Psyched Wellness” or the “Company”) is incorporated in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Psyched Wellness is a Canadian-based health supplements company dedicated to the distribution of mushroom-derived products and associated consumer packaged goods. The Company’s objective is to create premium mushroom-derived products that have the potential to become a leading North American brand in the emerging functional food category. The Company is currently producing and developing a line of Amanita Muscaria-derived water-based extracts, teas and capsules designed to help with three health objectives: (i) promote stress relief, (ii) relaxation and (iii) assist with restful sleeping.
The Company’s common shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the ticker symbol “PSYC.” The Company’s common shares are also listed in the United States (the “U.S.”) on the OTCQB[®] Venture Market under the ticker symbol “PSYCF,” and in Germany on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “5U9”. The Company’s registered office address is 77 King Street West, Suite 3000, Toronto, Ontario, M5K 1G8, Canada.
The business of distributing mushroom-derived products involves a high degree of risk, and there is no assurance that any prospective project in the health and wellness industry will be successfully initiated or completed. Further, regulatory evolution and uncertainty may require the Company to alter its business plan and make further investments to react to regulatory changes.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of operations. The application of the going concern basis is dependent upon the Company achieving profitable operations to generate sufficient cash flows to fund continuing operations, or, in the absence of adequate cash flows from operations, obtaining additional financing to support operations for the foreseeable future. During the six months ended May 31, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,802,990 (2022 – $2,519,935) and negative cash flow from operations of $1,676,370 (2022 – $1,533,394), and as of that date, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $24,329,210 (November 30, 2022 – $23,679,183). It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will continue to be successful in the future or if the Company will attain profitable levels of operations. These conditions represent material uncertainties which may cast doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying financial statements. Such adjustments could be material.
2. Basis of Presentation
(a) Statement of Compliance
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards 34 – Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”).
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were reviewed, approved, and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company on July 31, 2023.
(b) Basis of Measurement
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value. In addition, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
(c) Basis of Consolidation
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Psyched Wellness Corp. and AME Wellness Inc., and include all the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries after eliminating inter-entity balances and transactions.

2. Basis of Presentation (continued)
(d) Functional Currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (“$” or “CAD”), which is also the functional currency of the Company. The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.
(e) Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and adjustments are made as appropriate in the period they become known. Items for which actual results may differ materially from these estimates are described as follows:
Going concern
At each reporting period, management exercises judgment in assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern by reviewing the Company’s performance, resources and future obligations. The conclusion that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern is subject to critical judgments of management with respect to assumptions surrounding the short and long-term operating budgets, expected profitability, investment and financing activities and management’s strategic planning. The assumptions used in management’s going concern assessment are derived from actual operating results along with industry and market trends. Management believes there is sufficient capital to meet the Company’s business obligations for at least the next 12 months, after taking into account expected cash flows, capital commitments, future financings and the cash position at period-end.
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position that cannot be derived from active markets, are determined using a variety of techniques including the use of valuation models. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data are not available, judgment is required to establish fair values. Judgments include, but are not limited to, consideration of model inputs such as volatility, estimated life and discount rates.
Valuation of inventories
The valuation of work-in-process and finished goods requires the estimates of production costs incurred, which become part of the carrying amount for inventories. The Company must also determine if the cost of any inventories exceeds its net realizable value (“NRV”), such as cases where prices have decreased, or inventories have spoiled or otherwise been damaged. The Company estimates the NRV of inventories, by taking into account the most reliable evidence available at each reporting date. The future realization of these inventories may be affected by market-driven changes that may reduce future selling prices. A change to these assumptions could impact the Company’s inventory valuation and gross profit.
Impairment
Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for indicators of impairment at each reporting period or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is defined as the higher of: (i) value-in-use; or (ii) fair value less cost to sell. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment charge is recognized immediately in profit or loss by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lesser of the revised estimate of recoverable amount, and the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized previously.

2. Basis of Presentation (continued)
(e) Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions (continued)
Warrants, options and restricted share units
Management determines the costs for share-based compensation on options, restricted share units (“RSUs”), and share purchase warrants using market-based valuation techniques. The fair value of the market-based and performance-based share awards are determined at the date of grant using generally accepted valuation techniques. Assumptions are made and judgments are used in applying the valuation techniques. These assumptions and judgments include the expected volatility of the share price, expected forfeitures, expected dividend yield, expected term of the warrants or options, and expected risk-free interest rate. Such assumptions and judgments are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions can affect the fair value estimates of share-based compensation.
Expected credit losses on financial assets
Determining an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for amounts receivable and all debt financial assets not held at fair value through profit and loss requires management to make assumptions about the historical patterns for the probability of default, the timing of collection and the amount of incurred credit losses, which are adjusted based on management’s judgment about whether economic conditions and credit terms are such that actual losses may be higher or lower than what the historical patterns suggest.
Research and development costs
Judgment is required to distinguish the research phase and the development phase to correctly identify costs that qualify for capitalization.
Functional currency
The functional currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate. Determination of functional currency involves significant judgments and other entities may make different judgments based on similar facts. The Company reconsiders periodically the functional currency of its businesses if there is a change in the underlying transactions, events or conditions which determine its primary economic environment.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies applied by the Company in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those disclosed in Note 3 of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, unless otherwise noted. The Company adopted the following accounting policy, effective December 1, 2022.
(a) Foreign Currency Translation
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than CAD are translated into CAD at the rate of exchange in effect at the consolidated statements of financial position date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the transaction exchange rate. Foreign currency gains or losses resulting from translation are reflected in net comprehensive income (loss) for the period.
The assets and liabilities of entities with a functional currency that differs from the presentation currency are translated to the presentation currency as follows:
-
Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the financial period;
-
Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless the average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case, income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions);
-
Equity transactions are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction; and
-
All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity as reserve for foreign exchange.
Foreign exchange gains or losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, and which in substance, is considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation, are recognized in the reserve for foreign exchange.

4. Accounts Receivable
The Company’s accounts receivable balance comprises amounts due from government taxation authorities in respect of the Harmonized Sales Tax and other receivables from suppliers. The Company anticipates full recovery of these amounts, and therefore had not recorded any ECL against these receivables during the three and six months ended May 31, 2023 (2022 – $nil and $nil), which are due in less than one year.
5. Inventories
As at May 31, 2023 and November 30, 2022, the Company’s inventories consisted of raw materials held with the Company’s U.S.based contract manufacturing organization partner, and those in transit, and finished goods.

8. Intangible Assets
The Company previously submitted an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to register the trademark “AME-1” in connection with its Amanita Muscaria Extract formulation. As the trademarks are considered to have an indefinite life, they are not subject to amortization.
During the six months ended May 31, 2023, the Company incurred an additional cost of $49,879 in relation to internally-generated research costs incurred on AME-1. Subsequently, the Company recorded a write-off of $114,914 on certain balance of internallygenerated intangible assets which no longer met the capitalization requirement.
9. Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities
Accounts payable of the Company are principally comprised of amounts outstanding for trade purchases relating to regular business activities. The Company’s standard term for trade payable is 30 to 60 days.

15. Capital Management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for its stakeholders. As the Company has begun commercial operations, management will closely monitor its capital structure and adjusts according to market conditions to meet its objectives given the current outlook of the business and industry in general. The Board does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the management team to sustain the future development of the business.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company’s capital management objectives, policies and processes have remained unchanged in the current financial reporting period.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
16. Risk Management
The Company is exposed to various risks as it relates to financial instruments. Management, in conjunction with the Board, mitigates these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management process. There have not been any changes in the nature of these risks or the process of managing these risks from the previous reporting periods.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, and accounts receivable (excluding sales tax recoverable), which expose the Company to credit risk should the borrower default on maturity of the instruments. Cash is held at reputable Canadian and U.S. chartered banks and in trust with the Company’s legal counsel, which is closely monitored by management. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to cash, and accounts receivable (excluding sales tax recoverable) is minimal.

16. Risk Management (continued)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Company’s access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or related to matters specific to the Company. The Company generates cash flow primarily from its financing activities. The Company endeavors to have sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot be reasonably predicted.
As at May 31, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $830,079 (November 30, 2022 – $2,567,567) to settle current liabilities of $488,341 (November 30, 2022 – $198,072), and had the following contractual undiscounted obligations:
| Carrying | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| amount | Year 1 | Year | 2 to 3 | Year | 4 to 5 | |
| $ | $ | $ | $ | |||
| Accountspayable and accrued liabilities | 486,109 | 486,109 | - | - |
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as they come due. The Company has undertaken several proposed restructuring initiatives and other corporate measures to rationalize its capital and debt structure to better position the Company for future opportunities and meet its obligations as they come due. Until these initiatives and efforts are finalized, there is no assurance that one or any of these initiatives will be successful.
Management believes there is sufficient capital to meet short-term business obligations, after taking into account cash flow requirements from operations and the Company’s cash position as at May 31, 2023.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As at May 31, 2023, the Company had no financial instruments which are interest-bearing, and had no hedging agreements in place with respect to floating interest rates. Management believes that the interest rate risk concentration with respect to financial instruments is minimal.
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the Company will be subject to foreign currency fluctuations in satisfying obligations related to its foreign activities. The Company’s operations are based in Canada and the U.S., and will have, from time to time, transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily in U.S. dollars. The Company’s primary exposure to foreign exchange risk is that transactions denominated in foreign currency may expose the Company to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. Based on its current operations, management believes that the foreign exchange risk remains minimal.
Fair value
Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.
As at May 31, 2023, the Company’s financial instruments consisted of cash, accounts receivable (excluding sales tax recoverable), and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of cash, accounts receivable (excluding sales tax recoverable) and accounts payables and accrued liabilities are approximately equal to their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

16. Risk Management (continued)
Fair value (continued)
The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
-
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) 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. derived from prices); and
-
Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
As at May 31, 2023, the Company did not have any financial instruments which were carried at fair value (November 30, 2022 – $nil).
17. Revenues
The Company’s revenues for the three and six months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022 were comprised of the following:

A gain on disposals of $193,289, net of commissions and other selling costs of $11,611, was included in other income on the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
19. Contingencies and Commitments
The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of provincial, state and federal regulations in Canada and the U.S. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on its operations, or losses of permits that could result in the Company ceasing operations in that specific state or local jurisdiction.
While management believes that the Company is in compliance with applicable local and state regulations as at May 31, 2023, regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations. As a result, the Company may be subject to regulatory fines, penalties, or restrictions in the future.
20. Subsequent Event
On June 12, 2023, the Company closed the initial tranche (the “Initial Tranche”) of a non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the Initial Tranche of the Offering, the Company has issued 9,585,000 units (each a “Unit”) at a price of $0.07 per Unit for gross proceeds of USD $500,000 (approximately $670,950). Each Unit consists of one common share and one warrant exercisable at $0.10 for a period of 60 months from the date of issuance, exercisable on a cashless basis, subject to acceleration and compliance with the policies of the CSE. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.
