SUSTAINABLE PROJECTS GROUP INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2018
1. Organization and Nature of Operations
Sustainable Projects Group Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA on September 4, 2009 as Blue Spa Incorporated which was engaged in the development of an internet based retailer of a multi-channel concept combining a wholesale distribution with a retail strategy relating to the quality personal care products, fitness apparel and related accessories. On December 19, 2016, the Company amended its name from “Blue Spa Incorporated” to “Sustainable Petroleum Group Inc.” On September 6, 2017, the Company obtained a majority vote from its shareholders to amend the Company’s name from “Sustainable Petroleum Group Inc.” to “Sustainable Projects Group Inc.” to better reflect the business it has undertaken. The name change was effective on October 20, 2017.
The Company is a multinational business development company that pursue investments and partnerships with companies across sustainable sectors. It is continually evaluating and acquiring assets for holding and/or for development. The Company is involved in mineral exploration, consulting services and collaborative partnerships.
2. Going Concern
These condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or “GAAP”, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has limited operations and has sustained operating losses resulting in a deficit. In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements, and the success of its future operations.
The Company has accumulated a deficit of $2,010,478 since inception and has yet to achieve profitable operations and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and/or achieving a sustainable profitable level of operations. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company has $86,900 cash on hand as at November 30, 2018. Cash provided by (used in) operations was $816,251 for the six-month period ended November 30, 2018. The Company will need to raise additional cash in order to fund ongoing operations over the next 12 month period. The Company may seek additional equity as necessary and it expects to raise funds through private or public equity investment in order to support existing operations and expand the range of its business. There is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company on acceptable terms, if at all.
3. Summary of principal accounting policies
While the information presented is unaudited, it includes all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, result of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s May 31, 2018 annual financial statements. Operating results for the six months period ended November 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the period ended December 31, 2018. The Company has changed its year end from May 31 to December 31.
Form 10-Q – Q2 | Sustainable Projects Group Inc. | F- 8 |
Restatement
The Company has restated its previously reported financial statements at August 31, 2017 to record a debt extinguishment of $76,334. The restated six months ended November 30, 2017 were reflected in the Company’s May 31, 2018 audited year end financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements therein.
Consolidation
The consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s joint ventures, Hero Wellness Systems Inc. (formerly Vitalizer Americas Inc.) and Cormo USA Inc. The Company controls 55% of Hero Wellness Systems Inc. and 35% of Cormo USA Inc. Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, both of these companies are considered variable interest entities that requires the Company to consolidate. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. The operating results of the joint ventures have been included in the Company’s consolidated interim financial statements commencing September 01, 2018. The non-controlling interest that were not attributable to the Company have been reported separately. (See Note 12, Note 13)
Segment Reporting
The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance of its reportable segments. The Company manages its business primarily by its business ventures. The reportable segments consist of Hero Wellness Systems, Cormo USA and Gator Lotto. At November 30, 2018, the segment reporting was not material.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition of Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The guidance addresses several areas including transfer of control, contracts with multiple performance obligations, and costs to obtain and fulfill contracts. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract.
The Company adopted the ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), from June 01, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. Revenues for the year ended May 31, 2018 were not adjusted. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements. The Company recognizes revenue when the Company transfers promised services to the customer. The Company has one main revenue source which is providing consulting services. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue from consulting services when the Company’s performance obligation is complete. Even though the Company entered into contract with the customer, the contract could be terminated at any time with notice. The Company may receive payments from customers in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations for services. These advance payments are recognized as deferred revenue until the performance obligations are completed and then, recognized as revenues. The Company has one contract with one customer where a time period required for notice of termination. Termination penalties are non-substantive and can be performed by either party.
Form 10-Q – Q2 | Sustainable Projects Group Inc. | F- 9 |
Operating Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”). The new standard establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Similarly, lessors will be required to classify leases as sales-type, finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition. Classification for both lessees and lessors will be based on an assessment of whether risks and rewards as well as substantive control have been transferred through a lease contract. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the new standard June 01, 2018. The Company will also elect to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.
Current Expected Credit Loss
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”. The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (CECL) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements.
The Company adopts new pronouncements relating to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the Company as they are issued, which may be in advance of their effective date.

Plan of Operation
SPGX’s plan of operation for the next 12 months is to continue to evaluate and acquire assets and partnerships for holding or business development activities, and to collaborate, develop and create new assets with a continued focus on sustainability. SPGX is currently evaluating other projects to find attractive partnerships to expand SPGX’s business development activities. Other projects of interest that management is currently researching are in the field of sustainability. Currently, SPGX is engaged in the following projects:
1. | Cormo USA Inc.; | |
2. | Gator Lotto; and | |
3. | Vitalizer Americas Inc. |
1. | Cormo USA Inc. |
Cormo USA Inc. – Based on a letter of intent and a shareholder agreement, SPGX entered into a joint venture with Cormo AG to assist in the business development of Cormo’s operations in the United States. Cormo AG is in the business of producing and developing peat moss replacement and natural foam products and technologies. Also, for its participation in the joint venture, SPGX will be required to provide certain services, including U.S. business development, management, market research, and determination of potential distribution channels. Under the agreement, Cormo USA Inc has exclusive marketing and distribution rights to Cormo AG’s sustainable agriculture business and suite of patents. Cormo’s technology allows field waste from maize farms to be turned into a variety of products, including peat moss. In May 2019, a site was chosen for its first production facility, with production scheduled to start in early 2020. The joint venture is controlled by Cormo AG (35%) and SPGX (35%) equally with the balance of shares held by eight non-controlling shareholders.
See Exhibit 10.13 - Letter of Intent and Exhibit 10.20 - Shareholder’s Agreement for more details.
2. | Gator Lotto |
Gator Lotto – In 2018 SPGX acquired all technology assets including source code, graphics, and online assets for US$400,000 through the issuance of new shares. SPGX aims to commercialize this project which features a fully functioning lotto ticket management app (currently in version 2.0) with more than 40,000 downloads. Management plans to spin out this technology into a newly formed partnership within the next 18 months with the aim to increase monetization, user growth and eventual sale or licensing. SPGX spent an additional $11,000 to further develop the technology. SPGX is currently analyzing impairment and estimated this to be approximately $168,000 which may change once the calculations are final. See Exhibit 10.12 - Asset Purchase Agreement for more details.
3. | Vitalizer Americas Inc. |
Vitalizer Americas Inc. –Pursuant to the terms and conditions of a shareholder’s agreement dated in September, 2018, SPGX entered into a joint venture relationship for the purpose of importing, selling and distributing products offered by Vitalizer International of Switzerland. SPGX’s participation in the joint venture is 55%. SPGX’s role is to provide certain services, including general management and day to day operations of the joint venture. The joint venture is comprised of the following ownership: 55% SPGX, with the balance of ownership held by three non-controlling owners. See Exhibit 10.14 - Shareholder’s Agreement for more details.
During the quarter ended August 31, 2018, SPGX was involved with the following business ventures, but subsequently has terminated those business ventures or SPGX’s involvement in such venture.
Consulting Services - Amixa AG
Amixa AG - Effective January 18, 2018 SPGX engaged Amixca AG, a private Swiss corporation, for a period of 36 months commencing February 1, 2018 to January 31, 2021. Amixca AG was to provide business development services to SPGX on projects currently under development and on projects to be rolled out in the next three years. The consulting arrangement was never utilized and Amixca AG did not provide any services. The consulting agreement was annulled and Amixca AG agreed to return the deposit with a payment schedule that spans over a year. The first payment of $20,000 was received on July 16, 2019 and thereafter, payments of $15,455 due on the first of every month until the full $190,000 has been repaid. As of the date of this report, there was approximately $44,775 remaining to be paid on the repayment.
Form 10-Q – Q2 | Sustainable Projects Group Inc. | Page 4 |
Thunder Bay Mineral Claims
Thunder Bay Claims - SPGX had planned to complete two 2,000 meter diamond drill programs on the Thunder Bay Claims by the end of 2018 at an estimated cost of $1.2 million. The two programs would have required approximately 80 days to complete. One drill program would have been conducted on the Foisey claims of the Thunder Bay Claims to test the north branching arm of a gold-bearing breccia system. The second drill program would have been conducted on gold-mineralized zones on the Thunder Bay claims, which have been identified from previous and historic work. Subsequent to December 31, 2018, SPGX decided to dispose the investment of the Thunder Bay Claims to focus more on other projects in the field of sustainability. The mineral properties claims located in the Thunder Bay Mining Division in the townships of Rickaby and Lapierre, Ontario, Canada were returned back to its original owner, John Leliever, with the negotiated return of 1,052,631 common shares of SPGX for cancellation on December 31, 2018.
In addition, management anticipates incurring the following expenses during the next 12 month period:
● | Management anticipates spending approximately $7,500 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next 12 months, for a total anticipated expenditure of $90,000 over the next 12 months. The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to SPGX’s regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees, development costs and general office expenses. | |
● | Management anticipates spending approximately $16,000 in complying with SPGX’s obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These expenses will consist primarily of professional fees relating to the preparation of SPGX’s financial statements and completing and filing its annual report, quarterly report, and current report filings with the SEC. |
As at November 30, 2018, SPGX had cash of $86,900 and total liabilities of $247,848. During the 12 month period following the date of this report, management anticipates that SPGX will not generate enough revenue to continue the development of current projects and projects in the pipeline. Accordingly, SPGX will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue its plan of operations. Management believes that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding SPGX’s plan of operations as it does not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. Rather management anticipates that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of SPGX’s common stock. However, SPGX does not have any financing arranged and cannot provide investors with any assurance that it will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of its common stock to fund its plan of operations. In the absence of such financing, SPGX will not be able to develop its products and its business plan will fail. Even if SPGX is successful in obtaining equity financing and developing its various business ventures, additional development of its website and marketing program will be required. If SPGX does not continue to obtain additional financing, it will be forced to abandon its business and plan of operations.
SPGX has restated its previously reported financial statements at August 31, 2017 to record a debt extinguishment of $76,334. The restated six months ended November 30, 2017 were reflected in the SPGX’s May 31, 2018 audited year end financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements therein.
Risk Factors
An investment in SPGX’s common stock involves a number of very significant risks. Prospective investors should refer to all the risk factors disclosed in SPGX’s Form S-1/A – Amendment #3 filed on December 15, 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Three Month Period Ended November 30, 2018

Form 10-Q – Q2 | Sustainable Projects Group Inc. | Page 5 |
The notes to SPGX’s financial statements as of November 30, 2018, disclose its uncertain ability to continue as a going concern. SPGX has accumulated a deficit of $2,010,478 since inception and has yet to achieve profitable operations and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. SPGX’s ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and/or achieving a sustainable profitable level of operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
SPGX has $86,900 cash on hand as at November 30, 2018. Cash provided by operations was $816,251 for the six month period ended November 30, 2018. SPGX will need to raise additional cash in order to fund ongoing operations over the next 12 month period.

Going Concern
SPGX has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive business activities. For these reasons the financial statements have been prepared assuming SPGX will continue as a going concern. SPGX has accumulated a deficit of $2,010,478 since inception and has yet to achieve profitable operations and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business.

Future Financings
Management anticipates raising financing through debt financing or the sale of SPGX’s common stock in order to continue to fund its business operations. Issuances of additional common stock will result in dilution to SPGX’s existing stockholders.

Inflation
Management does not believe that inflation will have a material impact on SPGX’s future operations.

Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations
SPGX is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.
Critical Accounting Policies
SPGX’s financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. 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 application of accounting policies. Management believes that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of SPGX’s financial statements is critical to an understanding of SPGX’s financial statements.
Interim reporting and significant accounting policies
While the information presented is unaudited, it includes all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, result of operation and cash flows for the interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with SPGX’s May 31, 2018 annual financial statements. Operating results for the six month period ended November 30, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the period ended December 31, 2018.
Restatement
The Company has restated its previously reported financial statements at August 31, 2017 to record a debt extinguishment of $76,334. The restated six months ended November 30, 2017 were reflected in the Company’s May 31, 2018 audited year end financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements therein.
Consolidation
The consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s joint ventures, Hero Wellness Systems Inc. (formerly Vitalizer Americas Inc.) and Cormo USA Inc. The Company controls 55% of Hero Wellness Systems Inc. and 35% of Cormo USA Inc. Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, both of these companies are considered variable interest entities that requires the Company to consolidate. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. The operating results of the joint ventures have been included in the Company’s consolidated interim financial statements commencing September 01, 2018. The non-controlling interest that were not attributable to the Company have been reported separately. (See Note 12, Note 13)
Segment Reporting
The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance of its reportable segments. The Company manages its business primarily by its business ventures. The reportable segments consist of Hero Wellness Systems, Cormo USA and Gator Lotto. At November 30, 2018, the segment reporting was not material.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition of Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The guidance addresses several areas including transfer of control, contracts with multiple performance obligations, and costs to obtain and fulfil contracts. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfil a contract.
Form 10-Q – Q2 | Sustainable Projects Group Inc. | Page 9 |
The Company adopted the ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), from June 01, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. Revenues for the year ended May 31, 2018 were not adjusted. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements. The Company recognizes revenue when the Company transfers promised services to the customer. The Company has one main revenue source which is providing consulting services. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue from consulting services when the Company’s performance obligation is complete. Even though the Company entered into contract with the customer, the contract could be terminated at any time with two weeks’ notice. The Company may receive payments from customers in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations for services. These advance payments are recognized as deferred revenue until the performance obligations are completed and then, recognized as revenues. Revenue is from several customers and the Company has one contract with one customer. Termination penalties are non-substantive and can be performed by either party.
Operating Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”). The new standard establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Similarly, lessors will be required to classify leases as sales-type, finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition. Classification for both lessees and lessors will be based on an assessment of whether risks and rewards as well as substantive control have been transferred through a lease contract. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the new standard June 01, 2018. The Company will also elect to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.
Current Expected Credit Loss
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”. The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (CECL) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management maintains “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in SPGX’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including SPGX’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of SPGX’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of November 30, 2018.
Based on that evaluation, management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that SPGX’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. In particular, SPGX failed to complete and file its assessment of its internal controls over financial reporting in a timely manner for the period ended November 30, 2018. As a result, SPGX’s disclosure controls and procedures have not been effective since then and, as a result, were not effective for the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
As of the end of the period covered by this report, there were no changes in SPGX’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended November 30, 2018, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, SPGX’s internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the date of management’s last evaluation. However, as a result of management’s completion of the assessment of SPGX’s internal controls over financial reporting, certain changes have been made, as discussed above, that will materially affect internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that SPGX’s controls and procedures will prevent all potential error and fraud. 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.
