NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2020

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.

The Company has changed its year end to December 31.

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 $2,995,743 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 consolidated unaudited interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company has $1,947 cash on hand as at June 30, 2020. 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.

Basis of presentation

While the information presented is unaudited, it includes all adjustments, which are, in our opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, result of operations and cashflows for the interim period 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 December 31, 2019 annual financial statements. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the period ended December 31, 2020.

The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company, it’s wholly subsidiary YER Brands Inc., and its 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 the joint venture companies are considered variable interest entities that requires the Company to consolidate their accounts. 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 financial statements and the non-controlling interest that were not attributable to the Company have been reported separately. At June 30, 2020, Cormo USA Inc.’s assets were impaired and the Company impaired its investment and eliminated that company’s accounts from the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the December 31, 2019 annual report.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available to management. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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 corporation wide basis in comparison to its various businesses. The Company has three reportable segments. The business operations consist of Hero Wellness Systems, YER Brands and Sustainable Projects Group. The segment for Cormo USA has been extinguished at June 30, 2020. The segments are determined based on several factors including the nature of products and services, nature of production processes and delivery channels and consultancy services. The operating segment’s performance is evaluated based on its segment income. Segment income is defined as the gross sales and miscellaneous income. As at June 30, 2020, revenues were reported from YER Brands.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

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. Recently, the FASB issued the final ASU to delay adoption for smaller reporting companies to calendar year 2023. 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. Management does not believe that any pronouncements not included above will have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

On January 18, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Amixca AG for a period of three years commencing February 1, 2018 in which Amixca AG has agreed to provide business development services.

The Company is currently evaluating other projects to find attractive partnerships to expand the Company’s business development activities. Other projects of interest that management is currently researching are in the field of sustainability.

Covid-19 has had a significant impact on development of legacy projects, as well as the sourcing of new participations and partnerships. The company has experienced significant difficulty in virtually all aspects of project development, including but not limited to access to funding, sourcing of materials and machinery as well as staffing. For this reason, the company has undertaken a stringent cost cutting and operations optimization plan.

Currently, the Company is engaged in the following projects:

Cormo USA Inc. – Based on a letter of intent and a shareholder agreement, the Company entered into a joint venture with Cormo AG, a company incorporated in Switzerland, 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, the Company 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 late fall of 2020. The joint venture is controlled by Cormo AG (35%) and the Company (35%) equally with the balance of shares held by eight non-controlling shareholders.

Cormo USA Inc. is in its development stage and in the process of establishing the first pilot project in the United States. Cormo USA Inc. intends to utilize the substantial corn production volume in the U.S. to gain a foothold in the agricultural industry and provide a revenue source for struggling farmers. Likewise, the company offers a viable alternative to harvested peat moss, a major source of carbon dioxide (CO2). Major consumers of peat moss, such as the horticultural industry are looking for a stable, price beneficial solution for their peat moss needs. At this time Cormo USA Inc. has initiated early discussions with several major industry partners and peat moss consumers across the United States. Additionally, Cormo USA Inc. is in the process of establishing industry partnerships to develop additional applications for the company’s foam replacement product BABS.

The company anticipates the distribution of peat moss replacement TEFA through its own brand of soil blends through retail channels and wholesale through partnerships with industrial end-users. The main uses of the company’s BABS foam replacement are in the agricultural, industrial, and building materials industry. At this point, the company is in development stages with proven prototypes in the segments air filtrations and building materials.

Cormo USA’s products are sustainable replacements for existing, widely-used materials, such as peat moss, building bricks and air filters. While “being green” is an attribute that speaks loudly, the Company realizes that it is operating in a crowded market space where the price is a bigger motivator for customers than sustainability. Hence, it will be vitally important for the company to operate under strict cost controls to fulfill its mission to offer “greener, better solutions – at better prices” to be commercially successful.

On May 1^st, 2020 Cormo USA Inc. signed a 2 year lease for an interim 108,000 sq ft. production site in Rushville, IN as the company finalizes plants to construct its own 20-acre state-of-the art facility at the Rushville Commerce Park. Rushville, IN offers an excellent combination of access to raw materials (the region has 100’s of thousands addressable acres of cornfields) and logistics given Indiana’s beneficial location and connection to the United States Road, Rail and Ship transport channels. The company planned site improvements at the Rushville site that will continue into the early summer in anticipation of production equipment assembly and commission in time for the 2020 corn harvest.

During these unprecedented times with the onset of the global pandemic, Covid-19 has disrupted the development of this business and presented a lot of challenges primarily related to knowledge transfer from the licensor, sourcing and/or price increases in equipment and financing. Cormo AG has withdrawn its license agreement and therefore the joint venture has collapsed. The Company has impaired the investment of Cormo USA as of June 30, 2020.

Gator Lotto – In 2018 the Company 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 24 months with the aim to increase monetization, user growth and eventual sale or licensing. The Company spent an additional $11,000 to further develop the technology in 2019. See Exhibit 10.12 - Asset Purchase Agreement for more details.

The latest version of the Lotto App was launched February 2019. The product currently covers lottery players in the state of Florida. The app is available for download on Android (Google Play) and iOS (App Store) and its associated website www.gatorlotto.com. The app is currently in Version 2.0 offering stable optical character recognition of all major lottery games offered in the state of Florida, with real time updates.

During December 2018, the Company recorded an impairment of $168,000 which approximate its market value then. The Company currently does not have the resources to exploit the app and may consider selling this asset in the future. At June 30, 2020, the Company has written the asset down.

Hero Wellness Systems Inc. (“Hero Wellness”) –Pursuant to the terms and conditions of a shareholder’s agreement dated in September 29, 2018, the Company entered into a joint venture relationship originally for the purpose of importing, selling and distributing products offered by Vitalizer International of Switzerland. However, due to supplies and other processing issues, Hero Wellness has sourced its own supplier and is now importing, selling and distributing its own products. The Company’s participation in the joint venture is 55%. The Company’s role is to provide certain services, including general management and day to day operations of the joint venture. Currently, the joint venture is comprised of the following ownership: 55% the Company with the balance of ownership held by two non-controlling owners.

The Company was previously focused almost exclusively on the B2B market segment of the lifestyle and healthcare markets. B2B clients consisted of spas and salons, hotels and hospitality and entertainment venues in the United States. Covid has led to a near total collapse of B2B customer interest due to changes in disinfection between users and other safety protocols relating to Covid 19. This has led to a refocus on the B2C segment, focusing on direct to consumer sales through the company’s webstore www.herochroma.com and additional websites operated by the company.

Hero Wellness Systems Inc. is dependent upon a functioning supply chain, as it sources finished products from its suppliers in China. Hero Wellness sees this as a risk-factor and is looking for alternative suppliers at this time. Thus far, the supplier has never experienced inventory shortfall, however increased logistics rates pose a risk to increased cost of goods sold. Additionally, due to its targeting retail customers through internet sales, as well as key account management to gain corporate customers, Hero Wellness is not dependent on singular customers. However, the company’s products are considered luxury lifestyle products and thus are dependent on healthy consumer spending behavior. Slowdowns in consumer confidence could have a negative impact on purchasing behavior of these types of products across the economy.

Hero Wellness Systems operates in a crowded market place. Several providers of massage chair products from low-end to high-end exist. Hero Wellness Systems Inc. operates in the high end-spectrum, competing against a number of established companies. The company aims to differentiate itself from existing providers through a higher level of service, including white glove delivery and significantly faster delivery times (through a US based in-sourced logistics operation).

On May 8th, 2020 Sustainable Projects Group Inc. signed a letter of intent with inventors of the Soy-yer Dough product line, Sawyer and Samantha Sparks, to purchase all production rights, know-how, trademarks and manufacturing equipment of Soy-yer Dough. Soy-yer Dough is a soy and corn-based, gluten free modeling clay. It is estimated that up 6% of the US population suffers from some form of gluten intolerance, with approximately 1% of the US population suffering from the more severe form, Celiac Disease.

The product gained initial commercial success when it was featured on the TV Show ABC’s Shark Tank and was named as one of the most innovative product inventions by college students in the New York Times newspaper. Since its invention, the product has been sold in all 50 states in the United States, and to a smaller extent internationally, both online and in retail locations. However, with limited production capabilities and resources, growth prospects were limited.

Sustainable Projects Group has formed YER Brands Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary to establish increased production and distribution capabilities of the Soy-yer Dough product line. Inventor and face of the brand, Sawyer Sparks, has agreed to take on the CEO position, while his wife and co-inventor Samantha Sparks will be responsible for production. Production facilities will be co-located with one of the Company’s portfolio companies, Cormo USA Inc. manufacturing facility to benefit from raw material sourcing, logistics and marketing infrastructure synergies. As of May 8^th, the new company has begun site improvement at the Rushville production site and is anticipated to produce and ship first retail-ready products by mid-May 2020.

Previously Soy-yer Dough was sold through the Online B2C, Brick and Mortar, and Scholastic Market. Over the past years, predominantly driven by limited production capacities, a heavy focus was placed on the scholastic market. With COVID-19 related shutdowns, that market has been severely impacted and is currently virtually non-existent even as schools have reopened across the United States.

Upon production start, YER Brands Inc. will place initial focus on low-hanging online sales opportunities and upon increasing production capabilities later in 2020, it will initiate a campaign to regain footing in the brick-and-mortar sales channel. While the exact timing of school re-openings still appears uncertain, with some schools hoping to reopen for the fall semester 2020, management does not anticipate significant revenues from the scholastic sales channel until January 2021.

There is a multitude of modeling clays available on the market, Soy-yer Dough shines as a “Made in the USA” and a “Gluten-Free” product with a long track record of positive reviews in the US media. Management believes the product is well positioned for market expansion in the near term. Additionally, YER Brands Inc is in the planning stages for additional, value-added products that involve Soy-yer Dough modeling clay to further the product portfolio and potential revenue and profit generation.

The majority of raw ingredients required for the formulation of the product are widely available and produced in the United States. The company does not anticipate supply chain issues for the main ingredients of the Soy-Yer Dough line of products. Additional raw materials are widely available, and several sources of suppliers exist. The company is not dependent on one single source of supplies for any of its ingredients and packaging materials and management sees limited supply chain and sourcing risks.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 AND 2019

In addition, management anticipates incurring the following expenses during the next 12 month period:

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash of $1,947 and total liabilities of $309,401. During the 12 month period following the date of this report, management anticipates that the Company will not generate enough revenue to continue the development of current projects and projects in the pipeline. Accordingly, the Company 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 the Company’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 the Company’s common stock. However, the Company 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, the Company will not be able to develop its products and its business plan will fail. Even if the Company is successful in obtaining equity financing and developing its various business ventures, additional development of its website and marketing program will be required. If the Company does not continue to obtain additional financing, it will be forced to abandon its business and plan of operations.

Going Concern

The Company 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 the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has accumulated a deficit of $2,995,743 since inception and has yet to achieve profitable operations and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business.

Impact of COVID-19

With the present COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will need to manage its cash flow during these difficult times and funding resources may not be available as the outlook is uncertain. The Company’s plan of operations may not proceed and can be held up due to the impact of COVID-19. These are unprecedented times and the Company will adjust to the new realties and will actively monitor the impact of the pandemic on the Company’s business. The full extent of the impact of economic uncertainty on the Company’s business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous factors that the Company may not be able to accurately predict. In an effort to protect the health and safety our employees and consultants, a significant amount of time is spent working remotely, international travel has been curtailed and a lot of our functions has been paused. Governments from around the world have enacted various measures to slow the spread and contain COVID-19. These measures include orders to close all businesses deemed “not essential”, isolate residents to their homes and practice social distancing when engaging in essential activities. The Company anticipates that these actions and the global health crisis caused by the pandemic will continue to negatively impact business activity across the globe. It is not clear what the potential effects, if any, that such alterations or modifications may have on our business, financial condition and cash flows. The duration of these measures is also unknown and may be extended with additional imposed measures. The Company has applied for governmental subsidies and/or relief during this time and there is no assurance that such resources will be achievable or available for the Company.

Future Financings

Management anticipates raising financing through debt financing or the sale of the Company’s common stock in order to continue to fund its business operations. Issuances of additional common stock will result in dilution to the Company’s existing stockholders. There is no assurance that the Company will achieve any additional sales of its common stock or arrange for debt or other financing to fund its planned activities.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
