INSTADOSE PHARMA CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FEBRUARY 28, 2022
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Operations
Organization and Nature of Operations
Instadose Pharma Corp (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation is organized as a holding company. The following business description describes the background and activities of its wholly owned subsidiary, Instadose Pharma Corp., a British Columbia corporation (“Instadose Canada”).
The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Instadose Canada is seeking to create a global distribution platform for medicinal cannabis and cannabinoid oil (“Global Distribution Platform”). Instadose Canada endeavors to utilize the Global Distribution Platform to open the commercial gateway to a new wholesale marketplace capable of providing pharmaceutical industry companies (“Big Pharma”) with large, sustainable, consistent, diverse, and low‑cost supplies of high‑quality medicinal cannabis and cannabinoid oil for use in bulk as an active pharmaceutical ingredient.
Instadose Canada’s Global Distribution Platform spans five (5) continents to date, including Africa, Europe, Asia, South America, and North America. Within each continent, Instadose Canada is establishing large‑scale operational subsidiaries and joint venture partnerships to secure access to government‑issued licenses and permits in countries such as The Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”), North Macedonia, Portugal, India, Colombia, Mexico, Cameroon, and Canada, each seeking to increase their level of participation within the global medicinal cannabis industry.
Instadose Canada was incorporated under the BCBCA as Cannabec Medical Corp. (“Cannabec”) on July 13, 2017, with an authorized share structure of 1,000 Class A common shares. On December 11, 2017, Cannabec filed a Form 11 Notice of Alteration with B.C. Registrar of Companies amending the authorized share structure to an unlimited number of common shares without par value, special rights, or restrictions. A Notice of Articles was issued by British Columbia Registry Services on the same date reflecting the amended share structure. On August 13, 2018, Cannabec changed its corporate name to Excellence Health Group Inc. (“EHG”). On January 31, 2019, EHG entered into a share exchange agreement with Grant F. Sanders and Instadose Canada. On February 5, 2019, EHG changed its corporate name to Instadose Pharma Corp. as contemplated by the share exchange agreement. The share exchange agreement was completed on February 8, 2019.
The EHG Share Exchange
Prior to completion of the share exchange, Grant F. Sanders, a former officer and director of the Company was actively engaged in seeking official authorization to cultivate medicinal cannabis in the DRC exclusively for medicinal and scientific purposes. Once secured, Instadose Canada would be granted exclusive rights to assist in monetizing these medicinal cannabis rights. Pursuant to the terms of the share exchange, EHG agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Instadose Canada from Mr. Sanders in exchange for EHG common shares. After the closing, EHG (as Instadose Canada) would carry on the business previously conducted by Instadose Canada. As a condition to completing the share exchange agreement, EHG agreed to cancel certain issued and outstanding EHG common shares following the EHG closing, as well as several outstanding stock options issued to EHG directors and officers.

Maribec
Maribec Health Products Inc. (“Maribec”) is a Quebec corporation, which was registered with Registraire des Entreprises Québec on June 20, 2017. Following its registration, ownership of Maribec was held in the name of a director and officer of EHG pursuant to a declaration of trust in favour of EHG. On March 13, 2018, the declaration of trust was cancelled and ownership of Maribec was transferred to EHG. On December 20, 2017, Maribec, then a wholly owned subsidiary of EHG, submitted its application to Health Canada to become a licensed cannabis produce under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations which would allow Maribec to establish operations at its production facility located at 433‑435 Boul. Industriel in the town of Asbestos (now Val‑des‑Sources), Quebec. Maribec’s license application would eventually be converted into an application for a standard cultivation license (under the new cannabis regulations which came into effect in Canada on October 17, 2018).
As at the date of the share exchange agreement, Maribec was still awaiting receipt of its cultivation license from Health Canada. On February 7, 2019, and prior to the EHG closing, EHG sold and transferred all of EHG’s right, title, and interest in and to the issued and outstanding shares of Maribec to Desmond Ste. Marie for one dollar ($1.00) pursuant to the terms of a share purchase agreement dated February 7, 2019. Completion of the Maribec Sale was driven by EHG’s desire to avoid potential delays in receiving its cultivation license that may have been caused by the pending completion of the share exchange. But for the Maribec Sale, completion of the share exchange would have required Health Canada to expand the scope of its due diligence screening to include the entirety of Instadose Canada’s incoming management team thereby almost certainly extending the timeline for Health Canada’s issuance of the cultivation license. Simultaneously with the execution of the Maribec share purchase agreement, EHG and Mr. Ste. Marie executed an option agreement also dated February 7, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the option agreement, Mr. Ste. Marie granted to EHG an irrevocable option exercisable by EHG to re‑purchase the Maribec shares from Mr. Ste. Marie upon (i) EHG, its directors and officers obtaining the requisite consents, approvals, and security clearances from Health Canada and (ii) payment to Mr. Ste. Marie of one dollar. Under the option agreement, Instadose Canada was permitted to notify Mr. Ste. Marie of its desire to commence the process of exercising the option at any time.
On September 4, 2020, Health Canada issued the cultivation license to Maribec. The cultivation license is valid for three (3) years expiring on September 4, 2023. On October 2, 2020, Maribec submitted an application with Health Canada’s Cannabis Licensing and Security Division for a Standard Processing License under the Cannabis Regulations. The standard processing license was granted on February 25, 2021 and expires on September 4, 2023.
On March 11, 2021, Instadose Canada (formerly EHG) delivered the option notice to Mr. Ste. Marie regarding their election to exercise the option. To date, Instadose Canada has not completed that exercise. Instadose Canada will commence the process of obtaining all the Health Canada Approvals and completing their repurchase of Maribec in the second half off 2022.

Global Medicinal Cannabis Industry
Today’s global medicinal cannabis industry remains fractured as it struggles to define itself as a profitable and viable commercial business. The global production, sale, and distribution of medicinal cannabis and cannabinoid oil is monopolized by licensed producers with minimal participation to date from Big Pharma, who require sustainable, consistent, diverse, and low‑cost bulk supplies of high‑quality medicinal cannabis and cannabinoid oil to make entrance into the medicinal cannabis industry possible. Today’s licensed producers cannot meet the demands of Big Pharma due to several global challenges facing them. These challenges include the expensive cost of constructing and expanding indoor facilities, high manual labor costs, inefficient production process limiting product output, and strict government regulation limiting production capacity. In addition, there are substantial logistical challenges transporting medicinal cannabis from one international jurisdiction to another that require international policing authorities to participate in the process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the demand for medicinal cannabis and cannabinoid oil continues to grow at a rapid pace. This is especially true as the rise in the volume of critical trials and scientific studies on medicinal cannabis and cannabinoid oil continue to uncover new and greater benefits to product consumption.
In Instadose Canada’s opinion, full participation in medicinal cannabis industry by Big Pharma will be required to satisfy the ever‑increasing global product demand, accelerate the volume of clinical trials and scientific studies aimed at uncovering new and greater benefits to medicinal cannabis and cannabinoid oil consumption, and unlock the market value potential of the medicinal cannabis industry predicted to reach US$ 84.0 Billion in market value by 20281. For this reason, Instadose Canada has committed to creating a large global distribution platform for medicinal cannabis and cannabinoid oil. Instadose Canada plans to utilize this global distribution platform to create a new wholesale marketplace and mass‑scale supply chain for medicinal cannabis and cannabinoid oil capable of providing Big Pharma with sustainable, consistent, diverse, and low‑cost supplies of high‑quality medicinal cannabis and cannabinoid oil for use in bulk as an active pharmaceutical ingredient.

Instadose Canada’s Global Distribution Platform spans five (5) Continents to date, including Africa, Europe, Asia, South America, and North America. Within each Continent, Instadose Canada is establishing large‑scale operational subsidiaries and joint venture partnerships to apply for and/or secure access to government‑issued licenses, permits, and joint venture partnerships.

Global Distribution Platform
Instadose Canada is fueling the Global Distribution Platform by seeking to establish large-scale operational subsidiaries and joint venture partnerships (the “Participants”) throughout each continent engaging in medicinal cannabis cultivation and/or cannabinoid oil production. Participants engaged in medicinal cannabis cultivation are responsible for growing, cultivating, packaging, and exporting medicinal cannabis to Participants engaged in cannabinoid oil production, whom, upon receipt of medicinal cannabis, sell it or utilize it in the production and sale of cannabinoid oil to pharmaceutical industry companies sourced by Instadose Canada or others.
Instadose Canada, as creator of the Global Distribution Platform, is responsible for the platform’s continued maintenance and growth. In doing so, Instadose Canada supplements the operational work performed by Global Distribution Platform Participants by performing the following key functions:
| (i) | Organizing, managing, and sourcing the transport of medicinal cannabis from medicinal cannabis cultivation Participants to one or more cannabinoid oil production participants; |
| (ii) | Selling all medicinal cannabis and cannabinoid oil cultivated and/or produced by Global Distribution Platform Participants to pharmaceutical industry companies; and |
| (iii) | Sourcing new medicinal cannabis cultivation and cannabinoid oil production Participants across new and existing Continents. |
The Transportation of Medicinal Cannabis throughout the Global Distribution Platform
The ability to transport medicinal cannabis safely and efficiently from one continent to another throughout the Global Distribution Platform is a critical component of Instadose Canada’s global business model. On January 6, 2021, Instadose Canada entered into a three-year logistics and procurement services agreement with Project Management Resources Inc. (“PMR”), a Canadian company. Since 1993, the principals of PMR have been actively involved in the transportation of goods within the African Continent. Under the Logistics and Procurement Services Agreement, PMR agreed to assume all responsibility for the management and procurement of those services required for, among other things, the international warehousing, customs clearing, and transportation of medicinal cannabis in and from, among other continents, Africa, Europe, South America, Asia and North America. PMR also agreed to perform the logistics and procurement services exclusively for Instadose Canada to the exclusion of any other company participating in medicinal cannabis industry. Payment for all logistics and procurement services is made by Instadose Canada to PMR on a fixed rate basis in accordance with applicable industry standards.
The Logistics and Procurement Services Agreement is supported by individual independent consulting agreements dated January 6, 2021, entered into between Instadose Canada and PMR principals.

Risk Mitigation Strategies
Instadose Canada is in the process of implementing numerous risk mitigation strategies to protect the company from events of force majeure as well as other possible risks affecting Instadose Canada’s business model. These strategies include the following:
| (i) | Requiring, where feasible, Global Distribution Platform Participants to purchase insurance to protect against items such as, but not limited to, crop loss, political risk, equipment and casualty, and equipment breakdown; |
| (ii) | Establishing large reserves of medicinal cannabis and cannabinoid oil to be stored at cannabinoid oil production facilities; |
| (iii) | Requiring pharmaceutical industry companies to complete payment in full for all purchased medicinal cannabis and cannabinoid oil prior to its release ex‑works from the applicable cannabinoid oil production facilities; |
| (iv) | Maintaining control of the business relationship with all pharmaceutical industry companies as well as the flow of funds for all purchase orders of medicinal cannabis and cannabinoid oil; |
| (v) | Establishing and maintaining geographic diversity for medicinal cannabis cultivation and cannabinoid oil production in an effort to avoid reliance on any one particular country or continent; and |
| (vi) | Engaging in extensive due diligence on pharmaceutical industry companies, joint venture partners, and existing political climates. |
Notwithstanding Instadose Canada’s efforts to mitigate risk at all levels of its business operations, certain situations can arise where Instadose Canada will be required to terminate, or delay the commencement of a joint venture agreement, or terminate, or delay the commencement of a purchase or supply agreement.

Impact of COVID-19
The ongoing COVID-19 global and national health emergency has caused significant disruption in international economies and financial markets. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The spread of COVID-19 has caused illness, quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in business activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability. The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to significantly impact the Company’s supply chain, distribution centers, or logistics and other service providers.

(UNAUDITED)
In addition, a severe prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to the business, including weakened demand for products and services and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. As the situation continues to evolve, the Company will continue to closely monitor market conditions and respond accordingly.
To date, we have maintained uninterrupted business operations with normal turnaround times for servicing our customers. We have implemented adjustments to our operations designed to keep employees safe and comply with federal, state, and local guidelines, including those regarding social distancing. The extent to which COVID19 may further impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. In response to COVID-19, the United States government has passed legislation and taken other actions to provide financial relief to companies and other organizations affected by the pandemic.
The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or the Company, may direct, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption, reduced customer traffic and reduced operations.
Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but is anticipated to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been presented in Canadian dollars and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Instadose Pharma Corp. has determined that the Canadian dollar is the most relevant and appropriate reporting currency as, despite continuing shifts in the relative size of our operations across multiple geographies, the majority of our operations are conducted in Canadian dollars and our financial results are prepared and reviewed internally by management in Canadian dollars.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. They do not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021 included in the Company’s year-end consolidated financial statements on Form 8-K filed by Instadose Pharma Corp. (formerly known as Mikrocoze, Inc.), filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 8-K.
In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the nine months ended February 28, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending May 31, 2022.

Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plans
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, for the nine months ended February 28, 2022, the Company had:
· | Net loss of $37,810,674; and |
· | Net cash used in operations was $1,504,372 |
Additionally, at February 28, 2022, the Company had:
· | Accumulated deficit of $172,724,015 |
· | Retained Earnings of $35,657,946; and |
· | Working capital deficit of $10,110,799 |
We manage liquidity risk by reviewing, on an ongoing basis, our sources of liquidity and capital requirements. The Company has cash on hand of $5,328 at February 28, 2022.
Once business operations commence during fiscal year end May 31, 2023, the Company expects to generate sufficient revenues and positive cash flows from operations to meet its current obligations. However, the Company may seek to raise debt or equity-based capital at favorable terms, though such terms are not certain. Currently, the Company expects to incur losses from operations and have negative cash flows from operating activities for the near-term.
See Note 9 regarding the conversion of loan payable with the Company’s Former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer totaling $39,531,029.
As the Company begins its business operations, we note that in recent years, the actions of governments around the world have signaled a significant change in attitudes towards cannabis, have either formally legalized medical cannabis access or established government efforts to explore the legalization of medical cannabis access. Therefore, opportunities continue to exist for the Company to operate in jurisdictions where governments have established, or are actively moving towards, a legal framework.
These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
Management’s strategic plans include the following:
· | Execute business operations during fiscal year May 31, 2022, and 2023; |
· | Create new joint venture relationship partners and operating subsidiaries throughout the world in order to expand the Global Distribution Platform to new geographical markets; |
· | Continue to secure new supply agreements from pharmaceutical industry companies for Medicinal Cannabis and Cannabinoid Oil; and |
Risks and Uncertainties
In general, the following represents a non-exhaustive listing of some, but not all, expected future risks and uncertainties related to the Cannabis industry:
· | Operating in a highly regulated industry where the regulatory environments are rapidly developing, and we may not always succeed in complying fully with applicable regulatory requirements in all jurisdictions where we carry on business. |
· | We and our joint ventures and strategic investments are reliant on required licenses, authorizations, approvals and permits for our ability to grow, process, store and sell cannabis which are subject to ongoing compliance, reporting and renewal requirements and we may also be required to obtain additional licenses, authorizations, approvals and permits in connection with our business. |
· | Changes in the laws, regulations and guidelines governing cannabis and U.S. hemp may adversely impact our business. |
· | We are constrained by law in our ability to market and advertise our products. |
· | We could be adversely affected by violations of the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (Canada), the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other similar anti-bribery laws. |

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.
Significant estimates during the nine months ended February 28, 2022, and 2021 include the borrowing rate considered for operating lease right-of-use asset and related operating lease liability, valuation of intangible rights – related party, uncertain tax positions, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Principles of Consolidation and Non-Controlling Interest
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and both its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Non-controlling interest is recorded in total stockholders’ deficit in the consolidated financial statements. For the nine months ended February 28, 2022, and 2021, none of the Company’s subsidiaries were operational, as a result, non-controlling interest has a balance of $0.

Variable Interest Entities
A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or is structured such that equity investors lack the ability to control the entity’s activities or do not substantially participate in the gains and losses of the entity. Upon inception of a contractual agreement, and thereafter, if a reconsideration event occurs, the Company performs an assessment to determine whether the arrangement contains a variable interest in an entity and whether that entity is a VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 – Consolidations, where the Company concludes that it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company consolidates the accounts of that VIE. At February 28, 2022 and May 31, 2021, respectively, the Company has no VIE’s.
Equity Method Investments
Investments accounted for using the equity method include those investments where the Company (i) can exercise significant influence over the other entity and (ii) holds common stock and/or in-substance common stock of the other entity. Under the equity method, investments are carried at cost, and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of net income (loss), comprehensive income (loss) and distributions received from the investee. If the current fair value of an investment falls below its carrying amount, this may indicate that an impairment loss should be recorded. Any impairment losses recognized are not reversed in subsequent periods. At February 28, 2022 and May 31, 2021, respectively, the Company has no equity method investments.
Due from Related Party
From time to time, the Company may advance funds to an entity (IDP Macedonia) that is 50% controlled by our Former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. While management believes the advances are expected to be recoverable, the recoverability of these advances depends on, amongst other things, Instadouz’s ability to generate positive cash flows through operations. In the event that Instadouz does not generate sufficient cash flows to support ongoing operations, the Company may be required to fund additional expenses. As a result of this and other uncertainties, the Company may ultimately not be able to recover some, or all, of the value of these advances.
The IDP Macedonia collaboration is a revenue and expense sharing arrangement. Revenues generated from Instadouz’s sale of Medicinal Cannabis or Cannabinoid Oil is to be split 49% to the Company’s operating partner in the DRC (Instadouz DRC), 49% to the Company, and 2% to IDP Macedonia.
During the years ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has advanced IDP Macedonia a total of $929,313 and $150, respectively, of which all amounts were directly contributed by our Former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, thereby, increasing loan payable – related party.
During the nine months ended February 28, 2022, the Company has advanced IDP Macedonia a total of $579,031, of which all amounts were directly contributed by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, thereby, increasing loan payable – related party.
Subsequent to February 28, 2022, the Company has not advanced any funds to IDP Macedonia. See Note 6.
Joint Venture - Portugal
In October 2020, the Company executed a joint venture in Portugal with a third party, which created an entity known as IDP Portugal. The purpose of this joint venture was to secure licenses to import Medicinal Cannabis into Portugal to be sold or processed into Cannabinoid Oil and then sold to pharmaceutical industry companies located predominantly in the European Union.
Effective March 1, 2021, under the terms of this arrangement, ownership of IDP Portugal is split 95% to the Company and 5% to the third party. IDP Portugal has not yet had any operations since its formation.
During the year ended May 31, 2021, the Company advanced $29,106, all of which was directly contributed by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, thereby, increasing loan payable – related party.
During the nine months ended February 28, 2022, the Company did not advance any funds to IDP Portugal.

Joint Venture – Colombia
In May 2021, Instadose and representatives of Instadose’s new third-party joint venture partner in Colombia (the “Colombia Partner”) commenced discussions on a plan of joint venture (the “Colombia Joint Venture”) that would see the Colombia Partner become an exclusive supplier to Instadose of no less than one million kilograms (1,000,000 kg) of Medicinal Cannabis per year throughout the term of the Colombia Joint Venture. The Colombia Partner is a Colombian company fully licensed in Colombia to cultivate and produce Medicinal Cannabis and its related derivatives.
On August 5, 2021, Instadose and its Colombia Partner executed a joint venture agreement (the “Colombia JV Agreement”) formalizing the scope of the Colombia Joint Venture. Under the Colombia JV Agreement, all of the Medicinal Cannabis to be supplied by the Colombia Partner to one or more Cannabinoid Oil Production Participants shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the supply agreements entered into between the applicable parties. Instadose and its Colombia Partner agreed to an initial five (5) year term for the operation of the Colombia Joint Venture subject to the right of the parties (absent the existence of a default) to extend the initial term for up to four (4) additional five (5) year terms.
During the nine months ended February 28, 2022 and the year ended May 31, 2021, there has been no activity with this joint venture.
Foreign Currency Translation
In preparing the financial statements of individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recognized at exchange rates in effect on the date of the transactions. At each reporting date monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-translated at the exchange rates applicable at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses are recognized through net income (loss).
For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements the assets and liabilities of foreign operations, are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rates applicable at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses, and cash flows of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars using average exchange rates. Exchange differences resulting from translating foreign operations are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). At February 28, 2022 and May 31, 2021, respectively, there were no accounts that required translation from a currency other than the Company’s functional currency (Canadian dollars).
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with which assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values at the acquisition date. The fair value of the consideration paid, including contingent consideration, is assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. Goodwill represents excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Significant judgments are used in determining fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as intangibles. Fair value and useful life determinations are based on, among other factors, estimates of future expected cash flows, and appropriate discount rates used in computing present values. These judgments may materially impact the estimates used in allocating acquisition date fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the Company’s current and future operating results. Actual results may vary from these estimates which may result in adjustments to goodwill and acquisition date fair values of assets and liabilities during a measurement period or upon a final determination of asset and liability fair values, whichever occurs first. Adjustments to fair values of assets and liabilities made after the end of the measurement period are recorded within the Company’s operating results.
Business Segments and Concentrations
The Company uses the “management approach” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach requires companies to report segment financial information consistent with information used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable segments. The Company manages its business as one identifiable and reportable segment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on the Company’s principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.
The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value.
The three tiers are defined as follows:
| · | Level 1 —Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; |
| · | Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and |
| · | Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. |
The determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy requires judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies applied to unobservable management estimates and assumptions. Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used. Such assumptions could include estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods. The Company may also engage external advisors to assist us in determining fair value, as appropriate.
Although the Company believes that the recorded fair value of our financial instruments is appropriate, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, and accounts payable and accrued expenses, are carried at historical cost. At February 28, 2022, and May 31, 2021, respectively, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (“fair value option”). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding financial instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. At February 28, 2022, and May 31, 2021, respectively, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
Sales Tax Receivables
Sales taxes in Canada are imposed at two levels.

(UNAUDITED)
The federal government levies a national sales tax, the GST. Several provinces – British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, and Prince Edward Island – levy a separate retail sales tax often known as PST or combined to create the HST.
The GST is collected at a different rate when the related sale is made in Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Ontario. Tax collected at this rate is commonly referred to as the ‘harmonized sales tax’ or HST. It is important to note, however, that although the rates are different this tax is the same tax as the GST.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35-15 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include but are not limited to: significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; and changes in the Company’s business strategy.
In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets.
If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Expenditures for repair and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in operations.
Management reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
For the nine months ended February 28, 2022, and 2021, respectively, the Company did not recognize any impairment loss.
At February 28, 2022, and May 31, 2021, respectively, none of the Company’s capitalized property, plant and equipment had been placed into service. Once operations begin, all assets will be depreciated over their estimated useful lives. See Note 4.
Right of Use Assets and Lease Obligations
The Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability reflect the present value of the Company’s estimated future minimum lease payments over the lease term, which may include options that are reasonably assured of being exercised, discounted using a collateralized incremental borrowing rate.
Typically, renewal options are considered reasonably assured of being exercised if the associated asset lives of the building or leasehold improvements exceed that of the initial lease term, and the performance of the business remains strong. Therefore, the Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability may include an assumption on renewal options that have not yet been exercised by the Company. At February 28, 2022, the Company’s operating lease did not contain any lease renewal options.
As the rate implicit in leases are not readily determinable, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate to calculate the lease liability that represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur to borrow on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease within a particular currency environment.

Intangible Rights – Related Party
Intangible assets consist of accessible license rights to cultivate Medicinal Cannabis in the DRC and is stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided for on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the agreement which is twenty-five (25) years. See Notes 5 and 6.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 ”Income Taxes”. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of May 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions were recorded for the nine months ended February 28, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
As of February 28, 2022, all tax years remain open for audit.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are included as a component of general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company recognized US$300,000 in marketing and advertising costs during the nine months ended February 28, 2022. The advertising costs were with respect to a media contract with Stellar Media entered into Instadose Pharma Corp. (USA) as previously disclosed in the 10-k filing on March 15, 2022.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.
We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

When determining fair value, the Company considers the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:
· | Exercise price, |
· | Expected dividends, |
· | Expected volatility, |
· | Risk-free interest rate; and |
· | Expected life of option |
At February 28, 2022, and May 31, 2021, the Company had 3,000,000 and 0 options outstanding (subject to vesting), respectively.
Common Stock Awards
The Company may grant common stock awards to employees and consultants in exchange for services provided. The Company measures the fair value of these awards using the fair value of the services provided or the fair value of the awards granted, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value measurement date of these awards is generally the date the performance of services is complete. The fair value of the awards is recognized on a straight-line basis as services are rendered. The share-based payments related to common stock awards for the settlement of services provided by employees and consultants is recorded on the consolidated statement of operations in the same manner and charged to the same account as if such settlements had been made in cash.
Stock Warrants
In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company may issue warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. Warrants issued in conjunction with the issuance of common stock are initially recorded at fair value as a reduction in additional paid-in capital of the common stock issued. All other warrants are recorded at fair value as expense over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance if there is not a service period.
There were no warrant grants during the nine months ended February 28, 2022, and the year ended May 31, 2021, respectively.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of common stock issuable for stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method), convertible notes and common stock issuable. These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future.
During the nine months ended February 28, 2022, the Company granted 3,000,000 stock options (See Note 8). These options vest 1,000,000 each in June 2022 (fiscal year May 2023), June 2023 (fiscal year May 31, 2024) and June 2024 (fiscal year May 31, 2025). At February 28, 2022, none of these stock options had vested and were not exercisable, therefore, at February 28, 2022, there are no related common stock equivalents.

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. See Notes 5 and 6 regarding the purchase of intangible rights and related loan payable with the Company’s Former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Recent Accounting Standards
Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of ASU’s to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s on our financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements as issued by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) through the date these financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
In September 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which supersedes current guidance by requiring recognition of credit losses when it is probable that a loss has been incurred. The new standard requires the establishment of an allowance for estimated credit losses on financial assets including trade and other receivables at each reporting date. The new standard will result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses on trade and other receivables and other contractual rights to receive cash. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Leases (Topic 842), which extends the effective date of Topic 326 for certain companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year June 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not completed its review of the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This guidance, among other provisions, eliminates certain exceptions to existing guidance related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also requires an entity to reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in its effective income tax rate in the first interim period that includes the enactment date of the new legislation, aligning the timing of recognition of the effects from enacted tax law changes on the effective income tax rate with the effects on deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Under existing guidance, an entity recognizes the effects of the enacted tax law change on the effective income tax rate in the period that includes the effective date of the tax law. ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this pronouncement on March 1, 2021; however, the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This standard eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. For public business entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years using the fully retrospective or modified retrospective method. Early adoption is permitted but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our financial statements.

Note 5 – Intangible Rights – Related Party
In October 2018, an affiliate of the Company’s Former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, The Maye International Group SARL, (“TMIG”) entered into a business partnership with the DRC. On October 1, 2018, the DRC issued a registration certificate to TMIG for the cultivation of medicinal and food plants anywhere in the DRC for subsequent transformation into pharmaceutical products.
Under the terms of the agreement, TMIG committed $25,000,000 to the DRC to be used for the employment of agricultural professionals, building of infrastructure to grow and process cannabis, and to establish the exportation of product. The payment also allows the Company access to the Bukanga Lonzo Agro-Industrial Park to execute its operations, which primarily include the growing, transport, storing, processing, packaging and purchase of medicinal plants and medicinal plant derivatives for international export and sale.
The Company paid an additional $10,000,000 to TMIG to acquire the exclusive international rights to monetize the medicinal plant rights granted to TMIG by the DRC.
Total payments of $35,000,000 were made in USD and have been translated into Canadian dollars with a total valuation of $45,825,775.
The total payment of $45,825,775 to TMIG was paid directly from our Former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer during the period August 2018 to December 31, 2018. The Company effectively had acquired all rights associated with this agreement on January 1, 2019.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Lease
We have entered into an operating lease agreement for our corporate headquarters. We account for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842: Leases, which requires a lessee to utilize the right-of-use model and to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. In addition, a lessor is required to classify leases as either sales-type, financing or operating. A lease will be treated as a sale if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FEBRUARY 28, 2022
(UNAUDITED)
If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as financing. If the lessor does not convey risk and rewards or control, the lease is treated as operating. We determine if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception and record the lease in our financial statements upon lease commencement, which is the date when the underlying asset is made available for use by the lessor.
Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments over the lease term. Lease right-of-use assets and liabilities at commencement are initially measured at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement to determine the present value of lease payments except when an implicit interest rate is readily determinable. We determine our incremental borrowing rate based on market sources including relevant industry data.
We have a lease agreement with lease and non-lease components and have elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single combined lease component, from both a lessee and lessor perspective with the exception of direct sales-type leases and production equipment classes embedded in supply agreements. From a lessor perspective, the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease components and associated lease component and, the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease.
We have elected not to present short-term leases on the balance sheet as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease inception and do not contain purchase options or renewal terms that we are reasonably certain to exercise. All other lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
Our lease, where we are the lessee, does not include an option to extend the lease term. Our lease also includes an option to terminate the lease prior to the end of the agreed upon lease term. For purposes of calculating lease liabilities, lease term would include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options.
Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense, included as a component of general and administrative expenses, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Certain operating leases provide for annual increases to lease payments based on an index or rate, our lease has no stated increase, payments were fixed at lease inception. We calculate the present value of future lease payments based on the index or rate at the lease commencement date. Differences between the calculated lease payment and actual payment are expensed as incurred.
At February 28, 2022 and May 31, 2021, respectively, the Company has no financing leases as defined in ASC 842, "Leases."

In addition to salary, certain officers and directors also received the right to accept additional shares of common stock as additional compensation. All of the shares granted vest ratably at the end of each anniversary over a period of three (3) years coinciding with the term of the related employment agreement.
In the event of a public listing of the Company, certain unvested common stock held by certain officers and directors become immediately vested. After the common stock is fully vested, the holder has 1 year from this date to take possession of the shares. On October 19, 2021, for certain employment agreements, and in anticipation of closing a reverse merger (recapitalization) and becoming listed on the OTC Market QB, the Company accelerated the vesting of an additional 9,500,000 shares having a fair value of $19,000,000, which were expensed and recognized in October 2021.
The Company has expensed these shares at each vesting date with a value based upon the fair value of the common stock on the vesting date.
For the nine months ended February 28, 2022, and 2020, the Company has recorded compensation expense related to these shares of $2,000,000 (1,000,000 shares) and $2,000,000 (1,000,000 shares), to an officer, respectively, based upon a recent third-party cash offering price of $2/share.

Note 9 - Subsequent Events
Debt Settlement – Third Party (Accounts Payable)
In May 2019, the Company owed $485,690 to a third-party vendor. In November 2021, the Company executed a settlement with this vendor. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to pay $845,000 in cash and 400,000 shares of common stock having a fair value of $800,000 ($2/share), based upon recent third-party cash offerings.
The amounts due in cash are payable as follows: $425,000 by December 31, 2021, and $420,000 by March 31, 2022. In the event that the total amount is not paid in full by March 31, 2022, an additional $100,000 becomes due and the outstanding balance will be subject to interest at 2% per month (annualized 24%). As at April 29, 2022, the Company had not paid the cash component of the settlement of $845,000.
In the accompanying balance sheet at May 31, 2021, the Company has included the $845,000 as a component of accounts payable and accrued expenses, and the $800,000 as common stock payable.
Additionally, the Company had previously issued 661,014 shares to this vendor in fiscal year 2020 which were accounted for as a deposit totaling $1,322,028. The Company and the vendor have agreed to treat this payment as a non-refundable deposit; however, no future purchases will be made by the Company. As a result, the Company has treated the impairment of this deposit as part of the aggregate settlement expense totaling $2,481,338.
The following is a summary of the settlement expense for the year ended May 31, 2021:

Legal Matters
On December 30, 2021, Michael Deluca, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a putative class action complaint in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Virginia, naming as defendants the Company and former CEO, Terry Wilshire. The complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder), as well as a control person claim under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against Wilshire. The complaint alleges that defendants made materially false and misleading misrepresentations and omissions in SEC filings upon which plaintiff’s purportedly relied in purchasing shares of the Company and that plaintiff’s suffered harm when the price of the stock declined, and the purported truth emerged. Plaintiff seeks various forms of relief, including alleged damages, attorneys’ fees and costs and other relief. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit, and at this time, the Company cannot predict the outcome or impact of the litigation.
On September 18, 2019, Instadose Canada received a letter from the Enforcement Branch of the Ontario Securities Commission, requesting information about Instadose Canada’s business activities. Instadose Canada is also aware that the OSC reached out to certain stakeholders of Instadose Canada regarding such enquiries. Instadose Canada has responded to these enquiries and has not received any response from the OSC since that time.
On July 9, 2021, the OSC announced that Grant F. Sanders had been charged quasi-criminally with one count of fraud. Mr. Sanders is charged in relation to his role as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Instadose Canada. The OSC alleges that investor funds were diverted to the benefit of Mr. Sanders, his family, and associates. The OSC further alleges that Instadose Canada materially misrepresented the nature of the company’s business. Mr. Sanders retained legal counsel in Canada for the purpose of vigorously defending himself against the Charge. Mr. Sanders’ first scheduled court appearance on this matter occurred on Monday, August 16, 2021. It was determined at the First Appearance that the matter be adjourned until 2022. For more information see the OSC’s press release at: https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/ontario-securities-commission-osc-charges-grant-sanders-with-securities-act-offences-846017944.html
The Company may be involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Forward-looking Statements
Statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, as well as in certain other parts of this Annual report on Form 10-K (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by the Company) that look forward in time, are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, expectations, predictions, and assumptions and other statements that are other than statements of historical facts. Although the Company believes such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that any forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Such forward-looking statements are subject to, and are qualified by, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by those statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to the Company’s ability to estimate the impact of competition and of industry consolidation and risks, uncertainties and other factors set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s applications of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for the Company include income taxes and recent accounting pronouncements.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 ”Income Taxes”. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of February 28, 2022, and 2021, respectively, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions were recorded for the years ended November 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“2017 Tax Act”). Corporate taxpayers may carry back net operating losses (NOLs) originating between 2018 and 2020 for up to five years, which was not previously allowed under the 2017 Tax Act. The CARES Act also eliminates the 80% of taxable income limitations by allowing corporate entities to fully utilize NOL carry forwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019 or 2020. Taxpayers may generally deduct interest up to the sum of 50% of adjusted taxable income plus business interest income (30% limit under the 2017 Tax Act) for 2019 and 2020. The CARES Act allows taxpayers with alternative minimum tax credits to claim a refund in 2020 for the entire amount of the credits instead of recovering the credits through refunds over a period of years, as originally enacted by the 2017 Tax Act.
In addition, the CARES Act raises the corporate charitable deduction limit to 25% of taxable income and makes qualified improvement property generally eligible for 15-year cost- recovery and 100% bonus depreciation. The enactment of the CARES Act did not result in any material adjustments to our income tax provision for the years ended February 28, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of ASU’s to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s on our financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, cash flows, or presentation thereof. At February 28, 2022, there were no pronouncements that had an effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Trends and Uncertainties
The Company currently has minimal revenues and operations and is investigating potential businesses and companies for acquisition to create and/or acquire a sustainable business. Our ability to acquire or create a sustainable business may be adversely affected by our current financial conditions, availability of capital and/ or loans, general economic conditions which can be cyclical in nature along with prolonged recessionary periods, and other economic and political situations.
The Company has generated recurring losses and cash flow deficits from its operations since inception and has had to continually borrow to continue operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continued operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital, obtain additional financing and/or generate positive cash flows from operations. As further described in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing, from which the proceeds will be primarily used to execute its new operating plans. The Company plans to use its available cash and new financing to develop and execute its new business plan and hopefully create and maintain a self-sustaining business. However, the Company can give no assurances that it will be successful in achieving its plans or if financing will be available or, if available, on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, and ultimately achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all of its operating activities.
There are no trends, events or uncertainties that have had or are reasonably expected to have a material impact on the net sales or revenues or income from continuing operations. There are no significant elements of income or loss that do not arise from our continuing operations except for the fair value change on derivative financial instruments and settlement on arbitration.
The rapid advances in computing and telecommunications technology over the past several decades have brought with them increasingly sophisticated methods of delivering administrating elections. Along with these advances, though, have come risks regarding the integrity and privacy of data, and these risks apply to election companies, falling into the general classification of cybersecurity. While it is not possible for anyone to give an absolute guarantee that data will not be compromised, when applicable, the Company shall utilize third-party service providers to secure the Company’s financial and personal data; the Company believes that third-party service providers provide reasonable assurance that the financial and personal data that they hold are secure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of February 28, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $(172,724,015) and a working capital deficit of $(10,087,817). Our ability to continue as a going concern depends upon whether we can ultimately attain profitable operations, generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations, and obtain additional financing as needed.
As of May 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $(134,913,341) and a working capital deficit of $45,896,979.
Operating Activities
For the nine months ended February 28, 2022, the Company recorded a net loss of $(37,810,674). We had stock issued for services of $29,924,818, stock issued for services to related parties of $3,800,000, accrued salaries of $1,134,083, amortization of intangible assets of $1,374,768 and other expenses of $1,577,005. As a result, we recorded net cash used in operating activities of $1,504,372 for the nine months ended February 28, 2022.
For the nine months ended February 28, 2021, the Company recorded a net loss of $(20,580,874). We had stock issued for services of $9,692,559, stock issued for services to related parties of $8,000,000, accrued salaries of $1,058,833, amortization of intangible assets of $1,374,768 and other expenses of $(889,366). As a result, we recorded net cash used in operating activities of $(434,652) for the nine months ended February 28, 20220
Investing Activities
For the nine months ended February 28, 2022, we had advances from related parties of $803,189, advances to joint venture partners of $63,490 and purchases of equipment for $472,812. As a result, we recorded net cash used in investing activities of $1,339,491 for the nine months ended February 28, 2022.
For the nine months ended February 28, 2021, we had advances from related parties of $296,867. As a result, we recorded net cash used in investing activities of $296,867 for the nine months ended February 28, 2022.
Financing Activities
For the nine months ended February 28, 2022, we had advances on a loan payable from a related party of $51,831, repayments on a loan payable to a related party of $137,332 and we had debt from a related party converted to equity of $39,585,310.
For the nine months ended February 28, 2022, we received related party advances of $797,403.
Management believes that it will be able to continue its operations and further advance its business plans. However, management cannot give assurances that such plans will materialize and be successful in the near term or on terms advantageous to the Company, or at all. Should the Company not be successful in its business plans or obtain additional financing, the Company would need to curtail certain or all of its operating activities.
The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to ultimately attain profitable operations, generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, and obtain additional financing as may be required. For the nine months ended May 31, 2021, and 2020, our auditors have included a “going concern” modification in their auditors’ reports. A “going concern” modification may make it more difficult for us to raise funds when needed. The outcome of this uncertainty cannot presently be determined.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in implementing its business plan or that the successful implementation of such business plan will actually improve our operating results
Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended February28, 2022 Compared to the Nine Months Ended February 28, 2021
The Company did not earn any revenues for the nine months ended February 28, 2022, or 2021.

Stock issued for services increased $20,232,259 and stock issued for services to related parties decreased by $4,200,000 as compared to the nine-month period ended February 28, 2021.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that would be expected to have a material current or future effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Controls and Procedures
During the nine months ended February 28, 2022, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of February 28, 2022. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officers have concluded such controls and procedures were not effective as of February 28, 2022 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as follows.
| · | The relatively small number of employees who are responsible for accounting functions prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. |
| · | Our internal financial staff lack expertise in identifying and addressing complex accounting issued under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. |
Upon receiving adequate financing, the Company plans to increase its controls in these areas by hiring more employees in financial reporting and establishing an audit committee.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is also based in part on certain assumptions regarding the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Given these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Important Considerations
The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of
disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On December 30, 2021, Michael Deluca, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a putative class action complaint in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Virginia, naming as defendants the Company and former CEO, Terry Wilshire. The complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder), as well as a control person claim under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against Wilshire. The complaint alleges that defendants made materially false and misleading misrepresentations and omissions in SEC filings upon which plaintiff’s purportedly relied in purchasing shares of the Company and that plaintiff’s suffered harm when the price of the stock declined, and the purported truth emerged. Plaintiff seeks various forms of relief, including alleged damages, attorneys’ fees and costs and other relief. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit, and at this time, the Company cannot predict the outcome or impact of the litigation.
On September 18, 2019, Instadose Canada received a letter from the Enforcement Branch of the Ontario Securities Commission, requesting information about Instadose Canada’s business activities. Instadose Canada is also aware that the OSC reached out to certain stakeholders of Instadose Canada regarding such enquiries. Instadose Canada has responded to these enquiries and has not received any response from the OSC since that time.
On July 9, 2021, the OSC announced that Grant F. Sanders had been charged quasi-criminally with one count of fraud. Mr. Sanders is charged in relation to his role as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Instadose Canada. The OSC alleges that investor funds were diverted to the benefit of Mr. Sanders, his family, and associates. The OSC further alleges that Instadose Canada materially misrepresented the nature of the company’s business. Mr. Sanders retained legal counsel in Canada for the purpose of vigorously defending himself against the Charge.

The Company may be involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following is a summary of certain risk factors relating to the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries and the ownership of the Company’s securities. The risks and uncertainties described below are those the Company currently believe to be material, but they are not the only ones the Company faces.
37 |
Table of Contents |
Risks Generally Related to the Company
1. Market Risks for Securities
Volatility in the price of the Company’s shares could cause our shareholders to lose all or part of their investment because they may not be able to our shares at or above the price they paid. Factors that could cause fluctuations in the market price of our shares include the following:
| · | price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time: |
| · | volatility in the market prices and trading volumes of stocks of companies that are involved in the same industry as the Company; |
| · | changes in operating performance and stock market valuations of other companies that are involved in the same industry as the Company; |
| · | sales of our shares by our shareholders; |
| · | announcements by our competitors regarding new products or services; |
| · | the public’s reaction to our news releases, other public announcements, and filings with securities commissions; |
| · | rumors and market speculation involving the Company or other companies in our industry; |
| · | actual or anticipated changes in our operating results or fluctuations in our operating results; |
| · | actual or anticipated developments in our business, or that of its competitors or the competitive landscape generally; |
| · | litigation involving the Company, its industry or both, or investigations by regulatory into our operations or those of its competitors; |
| · | developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or other proprietary rights; |
| · | announced or completed acquisitions of businesses or technologies by the Company or its competitors; |
| · | new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business; |
| · | changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations, or principles; |
| · | any significant changes in our management; and |
| · | general economic conditions and slow or negative growth of the Company’s markets. |
2. The Company is a development stage company, and we cannot assure profitability
Our lack of operating history makes it difficult for investors to evaluate our prospects for success. Prospective investors should consider the risks and difficulties we might encounter, since there is no assurance that it will be successful. Any likelihood of success must be considered considering our relative early stage of operations.
As we have only just begun to generate revenue, it is extremely difficult to make accurate predictions and forecasts of our finances. There is no guarantee that our products or services will be attractive to potential consumers.
3. Our actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the expectations of management
Our actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from management’s expectations. As a result, the Company’s revenue, net income and cash flow may differ materially from the Company’s projected revenue, net income, and cash flow. The process for estimating the Company’s revenue, net income and cash flow requires the use of judgment in determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates. These estimates and assumptions may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. In addition, the assumptions used in planning may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect The Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
38 |
Table of Contents |
4. There is no assurance that the Company will turn a profit or pay dividends
The Company has limited history of earnings, limited cash reserves, a limited operating history, has not paid dividends, and is unlikely to pay dividends in the immediate or near future. The Company has a history of operating losses and may not achieve or sustain profitability. The Company cannot guarantee shareholders that it will become profitable, and even if the Company achieves profitability, given the competitive and evolving nature of the industry in which it operates, the Company may not be able to sustain or increase profitability and its failure to do so could adversely affect the Company’s business, including its ability to raise additional funds.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be profitable or pay dividends. The payment and amount of any future dividends will depend on, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, cash flow, financial condition, and operating and capital requirements. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividends.
5. There are factors which may prevent the Company from the realization of growth targets
The Company is currently expanding from its early development stage. The Company’s growth strategy contemplates continuing development of its Global Distribution Platform and the Industry Gateway. There is a risk that the development of these platforms will not be achieved on time, on budget, or at all, as they can be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including some that are discussed elsewhere in these “Risk Factors” and the following:
| · | non‑performance by third party contractors; |
| · | increases in materials or labor costs; |
| · | falling below expected levels of output or efficiency; |
| · | labor disputes, disruptions or declines in productivity; |
| · | termination or non‑renewal of long‑term contracts; and |
| · | inability to attract enough qualified workers. |
6. Risk of Additional Financing
The Company is in the development stage and have not generated a significant amount of revenue. The Company will likely operate at a loss until business becomes established and it may require additional financing to fund future operations and expansion plans, including developing new products, enhancing existing products, enhancing its operating infrastructure, and acquiring complementary businesses and technologies. The Company’s ability to secure any required financing to sustain operations will depend in part upon prevailing capital market conditions, as well as business success. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to secure any additional financing or additional financing on terms satisfactory to management. If additional financing is raised by issuing the Company shares in its authorized capital, control may change, and shareholders may suffer additional dilution.
7. Going‑Concern Risk
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under which an entity is able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s future operations are dependent upon the identification and successful completion of equity or debt financing and the achievement of profitable operations at an indeterminate time in the future. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in completing equity or debt financing or in achieving profitability. The financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments relating to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
39 |
Table of Contents |
8. Competition
The Company faces competition in the markets in which it operates and intends to operate soon. Some of the Company’s competitors may be better positioned to develop superior product features and technological innovations, and able to better adapt to changing market conditions. The Company’s ability to compete depends on, among other things, consistent high product quality, short lead time, timely delivery, competitive pricing, range of product offerings and superior customer service and support. Increased competition in the markets in which the Company operates may force the Company to reduce its product prices or may result in increased costs and may have a material adverse effect on its business and operating results. Any decrease in the quality of the Company’s products or level of service to customers, or any forced decrease in product pricing may adversely affect its business and operating results.
In addition, the industry in which the Company operates is highly competitive. the Company may not have sufficient resources to maintain any competitive advantages, including research and development, marketing, sales, and customer services on a competitive basis which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
9. Agricultural Operations Risk
The Company’s business is dependent on the growth and production of cannabis products, an agricultural product. As such, the risks inherent in engaging in agricultural businesses apply to the Company. Potential risks include the risk that crops may become diseased or victim to insects or other pests and contamination, or subject to extreme weather conditions such as excess rainfall, freezing temperature, or drought, all of which could result in low crop yields, decreased availability of cannabis, and higher acquisition prices. Although the Company has taken on a strategy to source its cannabis from various geographical locations, there can be no guarantee that an agricultural event will not adversely affect the Company’s business and operating results. Furthermore, the impact of Global Warming and other environmental effects on weather systems around the globe may impact the agricultural businesses upon which the Company relies.
10. Success of Quality Control Systems
The quality and safety of the Company’s products are critical to the success of its business and operations. As such, it is imperative that the Company’s and its service providers’ quality control systems operate effectively and successfully. Quality control systems can be negatively impacted by the design of the quality control systems, the quality training program, and adherence by employees to quality control guidelines. Although the Company strives to ensure that all its service providers have implemented and adhere to high‑caliber quality control systems, any significant failure or deterioration of such quality control systems could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and operating results.
11. Reliance on Third Party Suppliers and Manufacturers
The Company intends to maintain a full supply chain to produce wholesale bulk cannabis. The Company’s co‑packers and ingredient and packaging suppliers may elect, at any time, to cease to engage in production agreements for products containing cannabis. Loss of manufacturers and suppliers would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and operational results.
12. Product Liability
The Company’s products are produced for sale both directly and indirectly to end consumers, and therefore the Company faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action, and litigation of the Company’s products alleging to have caused significant loss or injury. In addition, the manufacture and sale of cannabis and cannabis related products involves the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of the Company’s products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could occur. The Company may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that its products caused injury or illness, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances. A product liability claims or regulatory action against the Company could result in increased costs, could adversely affect the Company’s reputation, and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and operational results.

13. Product Recalls
Product manufacturers and distributors are sometimes required to recall or initiate returns of their products for various reasons, including product defects such as contaminations, unintended harmful side effects or interactions with other products, packaging safety and inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. If any of the Company’s products are recalled, the Company could incur unexpected expense relating to the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall. the Company may lose significant revenue due to loss of sales and may not be able to compensate for or replace that revenue. A recall of the Company’s products could lead to adverse publicity, decreased demand for the Company’s products and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
14. Maintaining and Promoting the Company’s Brand
The Company believes that maintaining and promoting its brand is critical to expanding its customer base. Maintaining and promoting the Company’s brand will depend largely on its ability to continue to provide quality, reliable, sustainable, and innovative products, which the Company may not do successfully. Maintaining and enhancing the Company’s brand may require it to make substantial investments, and these investments may not achieve the desired goals. If the Company fails to successfully promote and maintain its brand or if it incurs excessive expenses in this effort, the Company’s business and financial results from operations could be materially adversely affected.
15. Key Personnel Risk
The Company’s success and future growth will depend, to a significant degree, on the continued efforts of the Company’s directors and officers to develop the business and manage operations and on their ability to attract and retain key technical, scientific, sales and marketing staff or consultants. The loss of any key person or the inability to attract and retain new key persons could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. Competition for qualified technical, scientific, sales and marketing staff, as well as officers and directors can be intense, and no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to attract or retain key personnel in the future. The Company’s inability to retain and attract the necessary personnel could materially adversely affect the Company’s business and financial results from operations.
16. Fluctuations in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
The Company is subject to foreign currency risk. The strengthening or weakening of the Canadian or US dollar versus other currencies of other countries in which it operates, will impact the translation of the Company’s net revenues generated in these foreign currencies into Canadian and US dollars. The Company imports certain ingredients in its products from foreign countries, and so may become forced to pay higher rates for the Company’s ingredients because of the weakening of the Canadian or US dollar.
17. Risks Related to the Company’s Prices
As the market for the Company’s products matures, or as new or existing competitors introduce new products or services that compete with ours, the Company may experience pricing pressure and be unable to renew its agreements with existing customers or attract new customers at prices that are consistent with the Company’s pricing model and operating budget. If this were to occur, it is possible that the Company would have to change its pricing model or reduce the Company’s prices, which could harm the Company’s revenue, gross margin, and operating results.
18. Requirement to Generate Cash Flow for Financial Obligations
The Company currently has negative operating cash flows. The Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make scheduled payments to its contractors, service providers and suppliers will depend on future financial performance, which will be affected by a range of economic, competitive, regulatory, legislative, and business factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control. If the Company does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy its contractual obligations, the Company may have to undertake alternative financing plans. The Company’s inability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or undertake alternative financing plans would have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results or operations, as well as its ability to satisfy the Company’s contractual obligations. Any failure to meet the Company’s financial obligations could result in termination of key contracts, which could harm the Company’s ability to provide its products.

19. Uninsured or Uninsurable Risk
The Company may become subject to liability for risks which are uninsurable or against which the Company may opt out of insuring due to the high cost of insurance premiums or other factors. The payment of any such liabilities would reduce the funds available for usual business activities. Payment of liabilities for which insurance is not carried may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and operations.
20. Conflicts of Interest Risk
Certain of the Company’s directors and officers are, and may continue to be, involved in other business ventures in cannabis or hemp products and the nutraceutical industry through their direct and indirect participation in corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, etc. that may become potential competitors to the Company. Situations may arise in connection with potential acquisitions or opportunities where the other interests of these directors’ and officers’ conflict with or diverge from the Company’s interests. In accordance with the BCBCA, directors who have a material interest in any person who is a party to a material contract, or a proposed material contract are required, subject to certain exceptions, to disclose that interest and generally abstain from voting on any resolution to approve the contract. In addition, the directors and officers are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the Company’s best interests. However, in conflict‑of‑interest situations, directors and officers may owe the same duty to another company and will need to balance their competing interests with their duties to the Company. Circumstances (including with respect to future corporate opportunities) may arise that may be resolved in a manner that is unfavorable to the Company.
21. Infectious Diseases and Global Virus Outbreaks
Emerging infectious diseases or the threat of outbreaks of viruses or other contagions or epidemic diseases, including the Covid‑19 outbreak, could have a material adverse effect on the Company by causing operational delays and disruptions (including as a result of government regulation and prevention measures), labor shortages and shutdowns, social unrest, breach of material contracts, government or regulatory actions or inactions, changes in tax laws, payment deferrals, increased insurance premiums, governmental disruptions, capital markets volatility, or other unknown but potentially significant responses or consequences. In addition, governments may impose strict emergency measures in response to the threat or existence of an infectious disease. The full extent and impact of the Covid‑19 pandemic is unknown and, to‑date, has included volatility in financial markets, a slowdown in economic activity and has also raised the prospect of a global recession.
The international response to Covid‑19 has led to significant restrictions on travel, temporary business closures, quarantines, global stock market volatility and a general reduction in consumer activity. At this time, the Company cannot accurately predict what effects these conditions will have on its financial position and results of operations, including due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of the travel restrictions and business closures that have been or may be imposed by the governments of impacted regions. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population, such as Covid‑19, could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could result in a material adverse effect on demand for financial compliance services, investor confidence, and general financial market liquidity, all of which may adversely affect the Company’s business and the fair market value of the Company shares. Accordingly, any outbreak or threat of an outbreak of an epidemic disease or similar public health emergency, including Covid‑19, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. As at the date hereof, the duration of any business disruptions and related financial impact of the Covid‑19 outbreak cannot be reasonably estimated. It is unknown whether and how the Company may be affected if a pandemic, such as the Covid‑19 outbreak, persists for an extended period.

22. The Company May Become Subject to Litigation
In addition to the current class action lawsuit, the Company may be named as a defendant in a lawsuit or regulatory action. the Company may also incur uninsured losses for liabilities which arise in the ordinary course of business, or which are unforeseen, including, but not limited to, employment liability and business loss claims. Any such losses could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, sales, cash flow or financial condition.
Regulatory Risks
23. Regulatory Approvals and Permits
The activities of the Company are subject to regulation by governmental authorities of jurisdictions in which it or its partners operate. Achievement of the Company’s business objectives is contingent, in part, upon compliance with regulatory requirements enacted by these governmental authorities and obtaining all regulatory approvals, where necessary, for the import, export and sale of its products. the Company may be required to obtain and maintain certain permits, licenses, and approvals in the jurisdictions where the Company’s products are licensed, although it does not currently anticipate that such approvals will be necessary. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain any necessary licenses, permits or approvals, and any material delay or inability to receive these items is likely to delay and/or inhibit the Company’s ability to conduct its business, and would have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
24. Potential Changes in Federal and State Laws and Regulations
If state and/or federal legislation changes or regulatory agencies amend their practices or interpretive policies, or expended its resources enforcing existing state and/or federal laws, such action(s) could have a materially adverse effect on; (a) the Company’s ability to obtain lawfully sourced raw materials; and (b) the manufacturing, marketing, distribution, and sale of the Company’s products in one or multiple jurisdictions, up to and including a complete interruption of its business. Further, additional government disruption in the cannabis industry could cause potential customers and users to be reluctant to purchase the Company’s products, which would be detrimental. The Company cannot predict the nature of any future federal, state and/or laws, regulations, interpretations, or applications, nor can it determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on its business.
Intellectual Property Risks
25. Risks Related to Potential Inability to Protect Intellectual Property
The Company’s success is heavily dependent upon its intellectual property and technology. The Company licenses certain technology from third parties and there can be no assurance that it will be able to continue licensing these rights on a continuous basis. The Company relies upon copyrights, trade secrets, unpatented proprietary know‑how and continuing technology innovation to protect the technology that it considers important to the development of its business. The Company relies on various methods to protect its proprietary rights, including confidentiality agreements with its consultants, service providers and management that contain terms and conditions prohibiting unauthorized use and disclosure of its confidential information. However, despite the Company’s efforts to protect its intellectual property rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or replicate its technology. There can be no assurances that the steps taken by the Company to protect its technology will be adequate to prevent misappropriation or independent third‑party development of its technology. It is likely that other companies can duplicate a production process like ours. To the extent that any of the above could occur, the Company’s revenue could be negatively affected, and in the future, the Company may have to litigate to enforce its intellectual property rights, which could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and its resources.

Economic Risks
26. Global Economy Risk
The current Covid‑19 pandemic and, prior to that, the economic slowdown and downturn of global capital markets has generally made the raising of capital by equity or debt financing more difficult. If the Arrangement is not completed, the Company will be dependent upon the capital markets to raise additional financing in the future. Access to financing has been negatively impacted by the ongoing global economic downturn. As such, the Company is subject to liquidity risks in meeting development and future operating cost requirements in instances where cash positions are unable to be maintained or appropriate financing is unavailable. These factors may impact the Company’s ability to raise equity or obtain loans and other credit facilities in the future and on terms favorable to it and management. If uncertain market conditions persist, the ability to raise capital could be jeopardized and thus have an adverse impact on operations and on the trading price of the Company’s shares on OTC Pink (assuming the completion of the Arrangement).
27. Trends, Risks and Uncertainties
The Company has sought to identify what it believes to be the most significant risks to its business, but it cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can it guarantee that it has identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to the Company shares.
Regulatory Risks and Uncertainties
28. Trading Suspension and Caveat Emptor
The recent SEC trading suspension and the designation of Caveat Emptor on the OTC Markets has negatively affected the ability of the Company’s shareholders to trade their shares. Although the Company is currently taking steps to rectify the regulatory restrictions, there is no guarantee that they will be successful in a timely manner.
29. Ontario Securities Commission’s charges against former officer and director of the Company and Instadose Canada will continue to have a negative effect on the ability of the Company to create an active market and successfully implement its business plan.
On July 9, 2021, the Ontario Securities Commission announced that Grant F. Sanders had been charged quasi-criminally with one count of fraud. Mr. Sanders is charged in relation to his role as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Instadose Canada. The OSC alleges that investor funds were diverted to the benefit of Mr. Sanders, his family, and associates. The OSC further alleges that Instadose Canada materially misrepresented the nature of the company’s business. Mr. Sanders retained legal counsel in Canada for the purpose of vigorously defending himself against the Charge. Mr. Sanders’ first scheduled court appearance on this matter occurred on Monday, August 16, 2021. It was determined at the First Appearance that the matter be adjourned until 2022. As of March 15, 2022, no new appearance has been scheduled.
Although Mr. Sander is not a 10% shareholder and resigned from all of his positions with the Company and Instadose Canada, he is still actively involved with some of the Company’s joint venture partners on an operational basis. An unfavorable outcome relating to the OSC changes may negatively affect the Company’s relationships with these joint venture partners in the future.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
SEC Trading Suspension
On November 23, 2021, the Company was notified by the SEC that it had ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the securities of the above-listed Company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT on November 24, 2021, through 11:59 p.m. EDT on December 8, 2021.
The Order stated that it appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that the public interest and the protection of investors require a suspension in the trading of the securities of the Company (CIK No. 0001697587), a Nevada corporation whose principal place of business is listed as Chesapeake, Virginia, because of questions and concerns regarding the adequacy and accuracy of information about Company in the marketplace, including:
| (1) | significant increases in the stock price and share volume unsupported by the company’s assets and financial information; |
| (2) | trading that may be associated with individuals related to a control person of Instadose Pharma; and |
| (3) | the operations of Instadose Pharma’s Canadian affiliate. |
As of November 19, 2021, the common stock of Company was quoted and traded on OTC Pink whose parent company is OTC Markets Group Inc., under the symbol INSD, had seven market makers, and was eligible for the “piggyback” exception of Rule 15c2- 11(f)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”).
The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the securities of the above-listed company.
As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has resumed trading on OTC markets, however, the symbol has been marked with a “CE” designation (Caveat Emptor).
Plan of Arrangement
On December 31, 2021, the Company closed on the Plan of Arrangement approved by the Supreme Court of British Columbia on October 19, 2021, by and between the Company and Instadose Pharma Corp., a British Columbia corporation (“Instadose Canada”). At Closing, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Instadose Canada. Instadose Canada shareholders received 1.34 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each share of Instadose Canada common stock for an aggregate of 456,930,654 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The transaction resulted in a change of control and a change in management.
South Africa Medicinal Cannabis Shipment
On January 5, 2022, Instadose announced its delivery of 2.125 metric tons of Medicinal Cannabis Flower (the “Product”) on December 25, 2021 from South Africa to North Macedonia which was sold and destined for Instadose’s licensed pharmaceutical clients (the “Clients”) in the European Union. Upon physical inspection and further due diligence as to the specifications required by the Clients, it was determined that the Product did not meet the standards to qualify as European Union medicinal cannabis product (“Compliant Cannabis”). Instadose is in the process of exploring all avenues to sell this Product, however, cannot ensure the eventual sale of the Product at this time. Instadose is currently in the process of determining the securement of Compliant Cannabis for future Instadose Sales.
