1. Nature of operations

Rapid Dose Therapeutics Corp. (the "Company") is a publicly traded Canadian life sciences company that provides innovative, proprietary drug delivery technologies designed to improve outcomes and quality of lives. The Company is incorporated under the laws of Ontario and its registered office is located at 1121 Walker's Line, Unit 3A, Burlington, Ontario, L7N 2G4.

2. Going concern uncertainty

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

The Company is its early stages of growth having moved from start up to commercialization phase during the fourth quarter of the year ended February 28, 2021. As at August 31, 2021, the Company has reduced its working capital deficiency to \$610,578 (as at February 28, 2021 - \$3,942,756) and for the 3 months ended August 31, 2021, the Company recorded a loss of \$539,439 (compared to a loss for the year ended February 28, 2021 - \$2,297,654). The loss from operations and working capital deficiencies limit the Company's ability to fund its operations.

The continued operation of the Company is dependent upon the Company's ability to secure equity financing to meet its existing obligations and finance its operations. The Company is actively seeking to raise the necessary equity financing, however, there can be no assurance that additional equity financing will be available.

The outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as COVID-19, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.

These uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was deemed inappropriate. Such adjustments could be material.

3. Basis of preparation

9. Intangible assets

Licences acquired in the acquisition of the shares of 2544737 Ontario Limited are carried at fair value.

10. Acquisition of 2544737 Ontario Limited operating as Consolidated Craft Brands ("CCB").

On March 19, 2021, the Company acquired, through a share exchange of 20 million Units, 100% of the common shares of CCB, an early-stage company in the consumer-packaged brands industry focused on developing, manufacturing, and distributing therapeutic wellness products. Immediately after the acquisition, CCB was amalgamated with a newly incorporated wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with the succeeding company carrying on business as CCB.

The acquisition brought to the Company synergistic products, valuable relationships, various business partnerships and experienced management along with a research and development license and a license application in process which would allow for production of products complimentary to the Company's offerings.

The acquisition is being accounted for as a Business Combination and is, therefore, subject to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations". Details of the acquisition are as follows:

(Expressed in Canadian dollars) (unaudited)

Each Unit consist of one Common Share and one share purchase Warrant. The Units are subject to an escrow arrangement whereby the Units shall be released in eight tranches over an eleven-month period from closing of the acquisition with the final 20% released at the end of the eleven-month period. The acquisition agreement allows for a reduction of all, or a portion of, the number of final release Units upon the occurrence of certain defined events as detailed in the Acquisition Agreement. Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire, for a two-year period, one Common Share at \$0.375 each.

Since the purchase price consideration was both variable (because of the reduction arrangement) and to be issued over time, certain calculations were made to determine the Fair Value of the purchase consideration at the date of closing ("Valuation Date"). This included (a) reduction in Units (b) Fair Value of the Company's shares to be released over the eight tranches and (c) Fair Value of Warrants to be released over the 8 tranches. The Fair Value of the total consideration was determined to be \$4,787,781 consisting of the Fair Value of the Company shares and the Fair Value of the Warrants. In determining the Fair Value of the Company's shares, a discount was calculated to reflect the receipt of shares over time using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model ("BSM"). Under the BSM approach, the Fair Value of shares released from escrow is deemed to be equal to the share price less the cost of a put option for these same shares. The value of the put option represents the right to lock in the value of the RDT Shares at the Valuation Date. The Warrants are to be released in the same amounts as the shares. In determining the Fair Value of the Warrants, the same BSM inputs were applied as with the shares except for the risk-free rate (2 years to match the Warrant term) and the exercise price of \$0.375.

Since the value of the Warrants cannot be locked in at the Valuation Date, the Fair Value of the shares was estimated at each future grant date (each date of the eight tranche dates) using the same values calculated in the share valuation, to determine the Fair Value of the Warrants. The fair Value determined at each tranche date was discounted to the Valuation Date using the discount rate applied throughout the valuation process.

11. Due to a related party

Due to a related party of \$109,000 (February 28, 2021 - \$129,000) represents advances from an officer and director. The advances are unsecured and non-interest bearing with \$75,000 due on December 9. 2021 and \$34,000 due on December 30, 2021.

In August 4, 2020, the Company received working capital loan proceeds of \$500,000 from a private lender, secured by a promissory note registered under the Personal Property Securities Act, Ontario. The loan bears interest at 12% per annum, payable monthly in arrears and maturing on November 30, 2021. Interest paid on the loan for the three months period ended August 31, 2021, amounted to \$15,000.

Related party promissory notes were returned to the Company in exchange for the settlement of the Company's \$600,000 liability to 2544373 Ontario Limited accounted for as a post-closing transaction adjustment in the purchase of the shares and amalgamation of 2544373 Ontario Limited.
