Canbud Distribution Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) (Unaudited)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Canbud Distribution Corporation (the “Company” or “Canbud”) was incorporated under the Canadian Business Corporations Act on October 4, 2018 as Cannabis Clonal Corporation. On September 9, 2019, the Company changed its name to Canbud Distribution Corporation. The Company is a publicly listed company on the Canada Securities Exchange ("CSE") and trades under the ticker symbol “CBDX”. The Company is domiciled in Canada and its registered office is located at 120 Adelaide Street West, Suite 2500, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 1T1.

The Company is a science and technology company focused on the global hemp space inclusive of hemp cannabinoids (CBD) regulated by Health Canada under the Industrial Hemp Regulations. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has obtained three licenses to grow Hemp CBD for the purposes of supplying the global market with medicinal and wellness CBD and other cannabinoids-based products on leased lands. Each licence allows the growing and harvesting of hemp CBD flowers for processing into CBD and other cannabinoids extracts.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds to meet current and future obligations. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments or reclassification of assets and liabilities which would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue its operations.

As at June 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any commercial operations and had a deficit of $3,980,551 (2020 - $2,543,323). For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s net loss was $1,446,392 (2020- $527,141), working capital of $3,371,821 (2020 - $317,511) and negative cash flows from operating activities was $ 1,068,145 (2020 - $661,112). Whether, and when, the Company can start generating revenues, attain profitability and positive cash flows from operations has material uncertainty, which may cast doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as going concern. The application of the going concern assumption is dependent upon the Company's ability to generate future profitable operations and by raising capital to fund its operations. Accordingly, these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments, if any, 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 in other than the normal course of business and at amounts which differ from those shown in these financial statements.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic caused by the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”. The outbreak has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bands, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to business globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of 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 of the Company in the future. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of Compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and do not include all the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements required by IFRS as issued by the IASB and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The accounting policies used are those the Company expects to adopt in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending December 31, 2021.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on August 30, 2021.

Basis of measurement

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain investments measured at fair value.

Basis of consolidation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the account of the Company and subsidiaries controlled by the Company from the date that control commenced until the date that control ceases. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity and expose itself to the variable returns from the entity’s activities. The Company attributes total loss and comprehensive loss of subsidiaries between the shareholders of the Company and the non-controlling (“NCI”) interests based on their respective ownership interests.

Non-controlling interests exist in less than wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company and represent the outside interest's share of the carrying values of the subsidiaries. Non-controlling interests are recorded at their proportionate share of the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired as at the date of acquisition and are presented immediately after the equity section of the statement of financial position. When the subsidiary company issues its own shares to outside interests and does not result in a loss of control, a dilution gain or loss arises as a result of the difference between the Company's share of the proceeds and the carrying value of the underlying equity, an equity transaction, is included in equity.

The Company's subsidiaries are as follows:

Empathy Plant Co. – On January 22, 2021, the Company incorporated Empathy Plant Company Inc. (“Empathy”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Empathy was formed primarily to launch and operate the Company’s plant-based protein brand with products that are naturally sweetened, zero sugar added, non-GMO project verified, gluten-free, soy-free with 100% compostable packaging.

Canbud D580H124 Inc. (“D580 Inc.”) – The Company holds 60% (2020 - 60%) interest in D580 Inc., incorporated on July 23, 2019. On June 18, 2020, D580 Inc. issued 480 Class B non-voting common shares to landowners and transaction facilitators, which represents 40% interest in D580 Inc.

On June 18, 2020, D238 Inc. issued 120 Class B non-voting common shares to transaction facilitators, which represents 11.11% interest in D238 Inc.

Canbud D1726KC Inc. (“D172 Inc.”) - The Company holds 88.89 % (2020 – 88.89%) interest in D172 Inc., incorporated on October 31, 2019. D172 Inc. entered into an agreement to lease 85 acres of farmland in Kettleby, Ontario, to grow industrial hemp under a licence from Health Canada which was issued November 29, 2019. On June 18, 2020 and June 19, 2020, D172 Inc. issued 96 Class B nonvoting common shares and 24 Class B non-voting common shares to transaction facilitators, respectively. The combined issuance of 120 class B non-voting common shares represents 11.11% interest in D172 Inc.

Canbud DEPL Corp (“DEPL Corp.”) – The Company holds 94.75% (2020 – 94.75%) interest in D238 Inc., incorporated on November 20, 2019. DEPL Corp. was established for distribution of CBD product into Germany and Poland in particular, and Europe in general. On June 18, 2020, DEPL Corp. issued 50 common shares to M. Ciuk, which represents 5.25% interest in DEPL Corp.

Alami Beauty Corporation (“Alami”) – Incorporated on May 24, 2019 under the Canadian Business Corporation Act . The Company held 51% in Alami until the Company sold its controlling 51% interest to Mikono on June 4, 2020.

Intercompany balances, and any unrealized gains and losses or income and expenses arising from transactions with subsidiaries, are eliminated in preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Unrealized losses are eliminated to the extent of the gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Functional and presentation currency

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are presented in Canadian dollars which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate in.

Use of critical estimates and judgments

The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the period. These estimates are, by their nature, uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgements and estimates made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies followed in these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued but only effective for the Company beginning on or after January 1, 2021 are as follows:

Amendment to IAS 1

In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, to provide a more general approach to the presentation of liabilities as current or non ‐ current based on contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. These amendments:

  • specify that the rights and conditions existing at the end of the reporting period are relevant in determining whether the Company has a right to defer settlement of a liability by at least twelve months; - provide that management’s expectations are not a relevant consideration as to whether the Company will exercise its rights to defer settlement of a liability; and - clarify when a liability is considered settled.

On July 15, 2020, the IASB issued a deferral of the effective date for the new guidance by one year to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company has not yet determined the impact of these amendments on its financial statements.

Amendment to IAS 16

On May 14, 2020, the IASB amended IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” to prohibit deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognizes the proceeds from selling such items, and the cost of producing those items, in profit or loss. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with early adoption permitted.

The Company is currently assessing the financial impact of these amendments and expects to apply the amendments at the effective date.

  • (i) The promissory note is a short-term non-interest-bearing loan to HIP Beverages Corporation (“HIP loan”) with a maturity date of November 16, 2019.

The Company has elected not to recognise a lease liability for short term leases (leases with an expected term of 12 months or less) or for leases of low value assets. Payments made under such leases are expensed on a straight-line basis. In addition, certain variable lease payments are not permitted to be recognised as lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred.

The Company recognized rent expense from lease of low-value asset $1,176 (2020 – $1,176) and variable lease payments $8,916 (2020 – $8,910) for the six months ended June 30, 2021, in rent expense.

11. CANADIAN EMERGENCY BUSINESS ACCOUNT (“CEBA”) LOAN

On June 10, 2020, the Company received a loan of $40,000 through the Canadian Emergency Business Account Program (“CEBA Loan”), which provides financial relief for Canadian small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The CEBA Loan has an initial term date on December 31, 2022 (the “Initial Term Date”) and may be extended to December 31, 2025. The CEBA Loan is nonrevolving, with an interest rate being 0% per annum prior to the Initial Term Date and 5% per annum. Repaying the balance of the CEBA loan on or before December 31, 2022 will result in a loan forgiveness of $10,000.

To estimate the fair value, the debt component was estimated first at $33,242, using a 7.5% effective rate which corresponds to a rate that the Company would have obtained for a similar investment. The Company recognized a finance expense of $1,415 the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Net loss per share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, made up of common shares. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by adjusting the loss for the period and number of shares for the effects of dilutive options and other dilutive potential ordinary shares. However, there were no options or financial instruments with dilutive potential ordinary shares as at June 30, 2021 (2020 – nil). Thus, the diluted net loss per share was the same as the calculated basic net loss per share.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 58,864,583 (June 30, 2020– 38,288,000).

13. RESERVES

Reserves include (i) the accumulated fair value of stock options recognized as share-based compensation, and (ii) the fair value of warrants issued in private placements and for share issue costs.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has a common share 20% Rolling Plan (the “Plan”) for designated directors, officers, employees, and consultants.

16. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's objective is to maintain sufficient capital to maintain investor, creditor and customer confidence and to sustain future development of the business and to provide the ability to continue as a going concern. Management defines capital as the Company's shareholders' equity. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management. The Company has not paid any dividends to its shareholders. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

As at June 30, 2021, the Company's total managed capital comprised of equity attributable to the equity holders of the Company $4,776,509 (December 31, 2020 - $1,198,382). There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the period.

(a) Fair value

Financial instruments included in the condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position as at June 30, 2021 consist of cash, promissory note receivable, accrued liabilities and payables and CEBA loan with period-end carrying amounts which approximates their respective fair values.

(b) Interest rate risk

The Company does not have any debts or borrowings from any banks or institutional lenders as at June 30, 2021, except for CEBA loan (Note 11), which is non-interest bearing until December 31, 2022. However, the Company is exposed to interest rates risk through its bank deposits.

(c) Currency risk

The Company's balances are all in Canadian dollars as of June 30, 2021, so the Company is not exposed to any currency risks from its financial instruments.

(d) Credit risk

The maximum credit risk exposure as at June 30, 2021, is the carrying amount of cash and promissory note receivable. The expected loss allowance on its financial assets was determined based on factors such as the credit profile of individual counterparties, industry credit ratings, historical trends and other relevant credit-related information. The Company had determined that the expected loss allowance rate as at December 31, 2020 for promissory note receivable as 100%.

(e) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset. The Company enters into transactions to purchase services on credit, for which repayment is required at various maturity dates.

The Company manages the liquidity risk resulting from accounts payable and accrued liabilities and CEBA loan by ensuring that it documents when authorized payments are due and maintaining adequate cash reserves to meet its obligations as they come due.
