Psyched Wellness Ltd.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Months Ended August 31, 2024 and 2023 (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 2900, 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 three and nine months ended August 31, 2024, the Company incurred a comprehensive loss of $1,599,032 and $3,598,399 respectively (2023 – $512,774 and $2,316,076, respectively), and as of that date, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $26,199,094 (November 30, 2023 – accumulated deficit of $25,959,557). 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.

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 and Psyched Corp. The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The functional currency of AME Wellness is the U.S. dollar (“USD”).
(e) Material 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 longterm 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 and cash equivalents position at periodend.
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. The 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 estimate 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, 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) Material Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions (continued)
Warrants, options and restricted share units
Management determines the costs for share-based compensation on stock 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.
Income taxes
Income taxes and tax exposures recognized in the consolidated financial statements reflect management’s best estimate of the outcome based on facts known at the reporting date. When the Company anticipates a future income tax payment based on its estimates, it recognizes a liability. The difference between the expected amount and the final tax outcome has an impact on current and deferred taxes when the Company becomes aware of this difference.
In addition, when the Company incurs losses that cannot be associated with current or past profits, it assesses the probability of taxable profits being available in the future based on its budgeted forecasts. These forecasts are adjusted to take account of certain non-taxable income and expenses and specific rules on the use of unused credits and tax losses. When the forecasts indicate the sufficient future taxable income will be available to deduct the temporary differences, a deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences.
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.
Provisions
The Company recognizes provisions if there is a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and the obligation can be reliably estimated. The amount recognized as a provision reflects management’s best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
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
Foreign currency translation under IFRS requires each entity to determine its own functional currency, which becomes the currency that entity measures its results and financial position in. Judgment is necessary in assessing each entity’s functional currency. In determining the functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries, the Company considered many factors, including the currency that mainly influences sales prices for goods and services, the currency of the country whose competitive forces and regulations mainly determine the sales prices, and the currency that mainly influences labor, material and other costs for each consolidated entity.

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.
17. 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 cash equivalents, and accounts receivable (excluding sales tax recoverable), which expose the Company to credit risk should the borrower default on maturity of the instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents are 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 cash equivalents is minimal.
The Company’s second exposure to credit risk is on receivables. At each reporting period, management assesses the credit risk of its receivables balance. The Company believes it has no significant short-or-long-term credit risk with respect to accounts receivable. As trade receivable has been regularly collected, the Company anticipates full recovery of these amounts, and therefore has not recorded any ECL against these receivables, which are due in less than one year.

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 August 31, 2024, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $6,888,580 (November 30, 2023 – $6,128,333) to settle current liabilities of $247,876 (November 30, 2023 – $303,564), and had the following contractual undiscounted obligations:
obligations: |
||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrying | ||||||
| amount | Year 1 | Year | 2 to 3 | Year | 4 to 5 | |
| $ | $ | $ | $ | |||
| Accountspayable and accrued liabilities | 247,876 | 247,876 | - | - |
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 and cash equivalents position as at August 31, 2024.
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 August 31, 2024, 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 USD. 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 but will continue to monitor the movement of foreign exchange between CAD and USD.
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 August 31, 2024, the Company’s financial instruments consisted of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (excluding sales tax recoverable), and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, 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.

17. Risk Management (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 August 31, 2024, the Company did not have any financial instruments which were carried at fair value (November 30, 2023 – $nil).
18. Revenues
The Company’s revenues for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2024 and 2023 were comprised of the following:
| Three Months | Three Months | Nine Months | Nine Months | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ended | ended | ended | ended | |
| August 31, | August 31, | August 31, | August 31, | |
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| $ | $ | $ | $ | |
| Mushroom-derived products | 236,000 |
91,642 | 544,765 | 253,675 |
| Apparels and accessories | 553 | 1,628 | 4,195 | 3,863 |
| 236,553 | 93,270 | 548,960 | 257,538 |
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 August 31, 2024, 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.
