e)In the fifth year of the Term, Canary will pay CLI the balance owing under this Note, by way of twelve (12) consecutive monthly installments payable on the 14th day of each month commencing on August 14, 2024, for an amount calculated by dividing twelve (12) into the sum of all amounts owing under this Note at the beginning of the fifth year of the Term on account of Principal and Interest, provided that where further amounts are owing under this Note at the end of such fifth year, Canary will pay CLI all such further amounts within five (5) days following the end of such fifth year.

For the purpose of this Note, “Net Revenue” will mean any and all revenue generated from Canary’s Licensed Facility (hereinafter defined) to which it is entitled to net of applicable taxes and third-party expenses.

The repayment of the Canary Debt, as amended, is guaranteed by Visava and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary CannaKorp Inc. and secured by (i) a general security interest in the assets of the Company, Canary, Visava and CannaKorp Inc., respectively; and (ii) a pledge by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Canary, Visava and CannaKorp Inc. held by the Company.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Going Concern

The Company has earned minimal revenue since inception to date and has sustained operating losses during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company had a working capital deficit of $6,996,419 and an accumulated deficit of $31,529,387 as of March 31, 2023. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtaining additional financing from its members or other sources, as may be required.

The unaudited accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern up to at least 12 months from the balance sheet date; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In order to maintain its current level of operations, the Company will require additional working capital from either cash flow from operations, sale of its equity or issuance of debt. However, the Company currently has no commitments from any third parties for the purchase of its equity. If the Company is unable to acquire additional working capital, it will be required to significantly reduce its current level of operations.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the SEC and are expressed in US dollars. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete annual financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, or for any other interim period. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Visava Inc./Canary RX Inc. and CannaKorp, Inc. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates may include those pertaining to accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

The Company places its cash with high-quality banking institutions. The Company did not have cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit as of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company did not have cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Restricted cash represents deposits made to the Company’s bank as a requirement to use the bank’s credit card which is not available for immediate or general business use.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are reported at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets, commencing when the assets become available for productive use, based on the following estimated useful lives:

Depreciation is calculated using the following terms and methods:

Furniture & office equipment

    

Straight-line

    

7 years

Machinery & equipment

 

Straight-line

 

3-5 years

Software

Straight-line

3 years

Leasehold improvements

 

Straight-line

 

Lease period

An item of equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising from the derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the asset) is included in the profit or loss in the period the asset is derecognized. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each reporting date, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows guidance for accounting for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company adopted guidance for fair value measurement related to nonfinancial items that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The carrying amounts of financial assets such as cash approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

The estimated fair value of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The derivative liabilities of the promissory convertible notes and warrant liabilities are valued Level 3, refer to Note 10 and 11 for further details.

Revenue recognition

The Company adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method after electing to delay the adoption of the accounting standard as the Company qualified as an “emerging growth company”. Since the Company did not have any contracts as of the effective day, therefore, there was no material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption of the new standard. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of the contracts with our customers are satisfied. Our performance obligation generally consists of the promise to sell our finished products to our customers, wholesalers, distributors or retailers. Control of the finished products is transferred upon shipment to, or receipt at, our customers’ locations, as determined by the specific terms of the contract. Once control is transferred to the customer, we have completed our performance obligation, and revenue is recognized.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company did not generate any revenue during the period ended March 31, 2023, and 2022.

In addition, Canary generated revenue of $200,641 (though its investment in JVCo) during the three months ended March 31, 2023 (period ended March 31, 2022: $1,096,321) and is represented as a share of income (losses) from joint venture on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations. The revenue was concentrated to two customers (2022: six). The revenue represents the sale of cannabis products. Since the customers have received the product and there are no further obligations as per the agreement, revenue was recognized. Refer to Note 6 for additional details.

Equity Method Investments

The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments when the Company has the ability to significantly influence, but not control, the operations or financial activities of the investee. As part of this evaluation, the Company considers the participating and protective rights in the venture as well as its legal form. The Company records the equity method investments at cost and subsequently adjust their carrying amount each period for the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee and other adjustments required by the equity method of accounting. Distributions received from the equity method investments are recorded as reductions in the carrying value of such investments and are classified on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements of cash flows pursuant to the cumulative earnings approach. Under this approach, distributions received are considered returns on investment and are classified as cash inflows from operating activities unless the cumulative distributions received, less distributions received in prior periods that were determined to be returns of investment, exceed the cumulative equity in earnings recognized from the investment. When such an excess occurs, the current period distributions up to this excess are considered returns of investment and are classified as cash inflows from investing activities.

The Company monitors equity method investments for impairment and records reductions in their carrying values if the carrying amount of an investment exceeds its fair value. An impairment charge is recorded when such impairment is deemed to be other than temporary. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, we consider our ability and intent to hold the investment until the carrying amount is fully recovered. Circumstances that indicate an impairment may have occurred include factors such as decreases in quoted market prices or declines in the operations of the investee. The evaluation of the investment for potential impairment requires us to exercise significant judgment and to make certain assumptions. The use of different judgments and assumptions could result in different conclusions. The Company has recorded no impairment losses related to our equity method investments during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The FASB recently issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470- 20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, to reduce complexity in applying GAAP to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The guidance in ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, which requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock. The guidance in ASC 470-20 applies to convertible instruments for which the embedded conversion features are not required to be bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as derivatives. In addition, the amendments revise the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification. These amendments are expected to result in more freestanding financial instruments qualifying for equity classification (and, therefore, not accounted for as derivatives), as well as fewer embedded features requiring separate accounting from the host contract. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 further revise the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted (for “emerging growth company” beginning after December 15, 2023). The Company will be evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

7.     Goodwill

Business Acquisition

ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the acquisition method and that certain identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination be recognized as assets apart from goodwill. ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”) requires goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, such as trade names, but instead tested at least annually for impairment (which the Company tests each year end, absent any impairment indicators) and be written down if impaired. ASC 350 requires that goodwill be allocated to its respective reporting unit and that identifiable intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their useful lives.

CannaKorp Inc.

Effective January 25, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (“Exchange Agreement”) with CannaKorp Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CannaKorp”). Company had previously entered into a Letter of Intent with CannaKorp dated November 30, 2018, which was disclosed in the Company’s report on Form 8-K filed December 4, 2018.

The Exchange Agreement provides that, subject to its terms and conditions, the Company issued to the CannaKorp shareholders an aggregate of 30,407,412 shares of the Company’s common stock, based on a price per share of $0.10, in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of CannaKorp held by the CannaKorp shareholders. In addition, the Company issued Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“Warrants”) in exchange for all outstanding and promised CannaKorp stock options. The Warrants granted the holders thereof the right to purchase up to approximately 7,211,213 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company also assumed all outstanding liabilities of CannaKorp. Upon the closing of the Exchange Agreement, CannaKorp continued its business operations as a subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was closed effective March 1, 2019.

Due to the publicly traded nature of the Company’s shares of the common stock, the equity issuance of the shares was considered to be a more reliable measurement of the fair market value of the transaction compared to having a separate valuation of the net assets. This acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. As of March 1, 2019, the fair value of the net liabilities was $2,534,121 and the purchase consideration was fair valued as $4,062,844, shown below, leading to a goodwill allocation of $6,071,627.

The purchase consideration of 30,407,412 shares and 7,211,213 warrants of the Company’s common stock are valued as detailed below:

Exercise price between the range of $0.13 to $0.15 per share

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the goodwill was revaluated after the completion of CannaKorp’s audit of the year ended December 31, 2018. This resulted in changing the balance on the acquisition date, March 1, 2019, thereby increasing the goodwill by $369,315 to $6,071,627.

However, during the same year the Company identified circumstances that would call for an evaluation of goodwill impairment and therefore impaired $1,485,925 reducing the goodwill related to the CannaKorp to $4,585,702.

Further, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company identified circumstances that would call for an evaluation of goodwill impairment and therefore impaired the remaining balance of goodwill related to the CannaKorp to $nil.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, all of the warrants expired, none were exercised.

Visava Inc./Canary Rx Inc.

On June 27, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (“Exchange Agreement”) with Visava Inc., a private Ontario, Canada corporation (“Visava”). Visava owns 100% of Canary Rx Inc., a Canadian corporation that holds a leasehold interest in a parcel of property located in Ontario’s Garden Norfolk County for the production of cannabis.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company identified circumstances that would call for an evaluation of goodwill impairment and therefore impaired $3,315,749 reducing the goodwill related to the Canary to $263,117 (December 31, 2021: the Company has identified no circumstances which would call for further evaluation of goodwill impairment related to Canary).

During the year ended, December 31, 2022, all of the warrants expired, none were exercised.

Goodwill

The Company tests for impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level. In assessing whether goodwill is impaired, the Company utilizes the two-step process as prescribed by ASC 350. The first step of this test compares the fair value of the reporting unit, determined based upon discounted estimated future cash flows, to the carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no further work is required and no impairment loss is recognized. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is potentially impaired and step two of the goodwill impairment test would need to be performed to measure the amount of an impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the impairment is computed by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss in the amount of the excess is recognized and charged to the statement of operations.

9.    Operating Lease Right-Of-Use Assets and Lease Liability

The Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach and applying the standard’s transition provisions at January 1, 2020, the effective date. The Company made an accounting policy election to exclude from balance sheet reporting those leases with initial terms of 12 months or less. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys to the Company the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified fixed asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed to the Company if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset. The Company has lease agreements which include lease and non-lease components, which the Company has elected to account for as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets. Lease expense for variable lease components is recognized when the obligation is probable.

Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As an implicit interest rate is not readily determinable in the Company’s leases, the incremental borrowing rate is used based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of lease payments. The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. Options for lease renewals have been excluded from the lease term (and lease liability) for the majority of the Company’s leases as the reasonably certain threshold is not met.

The Company does not own any real property. It currently leases two office/facility spaces. For accounting purposes, this lease is treated as an operating leases. Upon adoption of ASC 842, the Company recognized $1,668,593 (CAD $2,258,212) of right-to-use assets as operating leases and operating lease obligations. The right-to-use asset was reduced by $1,544,243 (CAD 2,089,921) due to recognition of the prior deferred rent liability which was eliminated upon adoption of ASC 842. Details of these leases are detailed below:

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company subleased its executive premises to a third party that makes rent payments directly to the landlord. However, if the sub-lessee cancels its sub-lease agreement with the landlord during the Company’s lease term with the landlord (ending on August 30, 2023), the Company will be responsible for making rent payments for the period from the date of cancellation by the sub-lessee to August 30, 2023.

The Company’s subsidiary, Canary, is a party to a 10-year lease agreement (initiated in July 2014) with respect to its facility to produce craft cannabis at scale. The lease agreement was amended effective January 1, 2020, where the amended 10-year term starts on May 1, 2020 and provides the Company with an option to extend for three (3) additional terms of ten (10) years. Additionally, effective January 1, 2020, the amended agreement increased the minimum rent to $25,862 (CAD 35,000) plus applicable taxes per month and on each anniversary date, commencing from January 1, 2021, the minimum rent will increase by 1.00%. Furthermore, only the current 10-year term has been factored into the calculation of the lease liability. Effective May 1, 2020, due to the implementation of the new lease, $730,250 (CAD 988,293) was forgiven by the landlord and one vendor.

FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share provides for calculations of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share include no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Covid-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak as a global health emergency. This resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus, including the closure of certain non-essential businesses.

During the period and year ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, the pandemic did not have a material impact on the Company’s operations. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not observe any material impairment of its assets or a significant change in the fair value of assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has taken steps to minimize the potential impact of the pandemic including safety measures with respect to personal protective equipment, the reduction in travel and the implementation of a virtual office including regular video conference meetings and participation in virtual customer meetings and other virtual events.

Due to the rapid developments and uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, it is not possible to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on the Company’s business, balance sheet and operating results in the future. In addition, it is possible that estimates in the Company’s

financial statements will change in the near term as a result of COVID-19 and the effect of any such changes could be material, which could result in, among other things, impairment of long-lived assets including goodwill.

Overview

Target Group Inc. (“Target Group” or “the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 2, 2013, under our original name of River Run Acquisition Corporation. Effective May 13, 2014, the Company changed its name to Chess Supersite Corporation. On July 3, 2018, we filed an amendment in our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name to Target Group Inc.

Effective October 18, 2018, our common stock became eligible for quotation on the OTCQB platform operated by OTC Markets Group Inc, under the symbol “CBDY”.

During the first quarter of 2023, the global spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) continued to have a significant impact on the Canadian and global economy and customer purchasing behavior, while equity markets remained volatile. However, these factors have not impacted the Company’s operations, financial results for the quarter.

Business and Plan of Operations

Cannabis Business-Canada

We are now engaged in the cultivation, processing and distribution of curated cannabis products for the adult-use medical and recreational cannabis market in Canada and, where legalized by state legislation, in the United States. We believe that there is a shift in the public’s perception of cannabis from a state of prohibition to a state of legalization. In October 2018, Canada became the first major industrialized nation to legalize adult-use cannabis at the national federal level. Cannabis is still heavily regulated. However, the medical use of cannabis is now permitted in up to 29 countries and many more countries have reformed, or are considering reforming, their cannabis uses laws to include the recreational use of cannabis.

Table of Contents

In the 2016 publication by Deloitte, Insights and Opportunities Recreational Marijuana, the project size of the Canadian adult-use market ranged from CDN$4.9 billion to CDN$8.7 billion annually. In the 2018 publication by Deloitte, A Society in Transition, an Industry Ready to Boom, the projected size of the Canadian adult-use market in 2019 ranged from CDN$1.8 billion to CDN$4.3 billion. The Canadian medical cannabis industry experienced substantial growth since 2014. Health Canada projects the Canadian cannabis market will reach CDN$1.3 billion in annual value by 2024.

We intend to position ourselves with a core emphasis on wholesale & co-packaging services to accommodate all consumer-packaged goods required for the sophisticated cannabis market in Canada and internationally. This will integrate cannabinoid research, analytical testing, product development and manufacturing.

Our product manufacturing will include, but will not be limited to the following:

Cannabis flower pods for vaporizer use
Cannabis extract pods for vaporizer use
Cannabis pre-rolls
K-Cup infused coffee and tea pods
Infused cannabis beverages
Infused cannabis edibles
Infused topical products and CBD wellness products.

As of the date of this report, the Company (i.e., Target Group Inc. and its subsidiaries) does not have any operations, employees or corporate offices based in United States.

Acquisitions

To take advantage of the opportunity resulting from the legalization of adult-use cannabis in Canada, we completed several strategic acquisitions and entered into several significant agreements as follows:

Visava Inc./Canary Rx Inc.

June 15th was the preliminary date of the agreement and the agreement was not finalized until the later date as indicated below.

The CEO (and also a director) of the Company is the secretary and a shareholder of CLI plus the CEO’s brother is the President and sole director of CLI therefore the loan from CLI is classified under related party transactions.

a)In the first year of the Term, Canary will pay CLI the greater of $834,957 (CAD 1,130,000) and fifty percent (50%) of the Net Revenue (hereinafter defined), provided that where the latter amount exceeds the former amount, Canary will, by the end of such first year, pay CLI no less than the former amount and Canary will, within thirty (30) days following the end of such first year, pay CLI the balance of such amount owing for such first year;
b)In the second year of the Term, Canary will pay CLI the greater of $1,551,690 (CAD 2,100,000) and fifty percent (50%) of the Net Revenue, by way of twelve (12) consecutive monthly installments payable on the 14th day of each month commencing on August 14, 2021, provided that where the latter amount exceeds the former amount, Canary will, within thirty (30) days following the end of such second year, pay CLI the balance of such amount owing for such second year;
c)In the third year of the Term, Canary will pay CLI the greater of $2,379,258 (CAD 3,220,000) and fifty percent (50%) of the Net Revenue, by way of twelve (12) consecutive monthly installments payable on the 14th day of each month commencing on August 14, 2022, provided that where the latter amount exceeds the former amount, Canary will, by the end of such third year, pay CLI no less than the former amount and Canary will, within thirty (30) days following the end of such third year, pay CLI the balance of such payments owing for such third year;

e)In the fifth year of the Term, Canary will pay CLI the balance owing under this Note, by way of twelve (12) consecutive monthly installments payable on the 14th day of each month commencing on August 14, 2024 for an amount calculated by dividing twelve (12) into the sum of all amounts owing under this Note at the beginning of the fifth year of the Term on account of Principal and Interest, provided that where further amounts are owing under this Note at the end of such fifth year, Canary will pay CLI all such further amounts within five (5) days following the end of such fifth year.

For this Note, “Net Revenue” will mean any revenue generated from Canary’s Licensed Facility (hereinafter defined) to which it is entitled to the net of applicable taxes and third-party expenses.

The repayment of the Canary Debt, as amended, is guaranteed by Visava and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary CannaKorp Inc. and secured by (i) a general security interest in the assets of the Company, Canary, Visava and CannaKorp Inc., respectively; and (ii) a pledge by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Canary, Visava and CannaKorp Inc. held by the Company. In addition to the foregoing guarantees, security interest and stock pledge, CLI has been granted an option, in lieu of repayment of the amended Canary Debt, to demand, in its sole and absolute discretion the transfer, assignment and conveyance of 75% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Visava and Canary.

Furthermore, the President and sole director of CLI has been granted an option to acquire the remaining 25% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Visava and Canary.

Effective August 14, 2020, the Agreement was amended (“Amendment”) to provide that CLI will purchase from Rubin Schindermann, a director of the Company, 500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock in consideration of the payment by CLI to Rubin Schindermann of $73,890 (CAD 100,000) and the issuance to Schindermann of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In consideration of the foregoing, Mr., Schindermann resigned as a director of the Company and from all administrative and executive positions with the Company’s subsidiaries Visava Inc., Canary Rx Inc. and CannaKorp Inc., respectively. In addition, the Company issued Common Stock Purchase Warrant for 10,000,000 shares of Target common stock to CLI as consideration for the Agreement. Refer to Note 11 for additional details on warrants. The combined impact of both transactions resulted in a debt issuance cost of $251,518. This debt issuance cost will be amortized over the term of the debt on a straight-line basis.

The transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the Amendment closed on August 14, 2020.

Forward Looking Relating to Future Operations of the Company.

Currently, the company and its senior management are is exploring several new, additional opportunities at its Simcoe, Ontario cultivation facility to expand the Company’s product offerings in other cannabis-related consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) product categories.

Employees

As of March 31, 2023, we had 51 employees which include Anthony Zarcone, Chief Executive Officer.

We have contracted several independent contractors and consultants to provide a range of information technology and marketing services who do not receive cash compensation but receive shares of our common stock as compensation. This mitigates any need for full or part-time employees for these services.

Intellectual Property Protection

Our subsidiary CannaKorp Inc. holds the following patents:

International Patent Application No. PCT/US20115/013778

Title: METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING HERBAL VAPO

Filing Date: January 30, 2015

Ref. No.: B1411.70000WO00

U.S. Provisional Application No.: 61/934.255

Title: CONTAINER POD AND DELIVERY SYSTEM

Filing Date: January 31, 2014

Ref. No.: B1411.70000US00

In addition, CannaKorp has proprietary rights to certain trade names, trademarks and service marks which include WISP PODTM; cPODTM; CANNACUPTM; and WISPTM. CannaKorp also has certain proprietary formulas and processes involving herbal formulas and flavors, proprietary herbal production processes and an herbal base developed to suspend active ingredients for optimal vaporization.

At present, CannaKorp has failed to meet its annuities payments as well as maintenance fees on the 2 referenced patents. Although there has been a lapse and these patents remain unmaintained, there remains the possibility of CannaKorp reinstating these patents if done so in a reasonable amount of time. At this time, management is determining the value maintaining these patents will provide the Company. Once management has completed their assessment, the Company will proceed accordingly and advance in that determined direction moving forward. Additionally, CannaKorp is actively seeking a joint venture partner and/ or a licensor to assist in both marketing and launching the Wisp Vaporizer and Wisp Pods in both the US and Canadian legal cannabis or hemp markets.

Results of Operations

We have not generated significant revenue to date and consequently, our operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. Our analysis on the performance of the Company is as follows:

Balance sheet – As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022

Cash and Restricted Cash

On March 31, 2023, we had cash of $49,335 (excluding restricted cash of $8,498) compared to $223,843 (excluding restricted cash of $8,490) as of December 31, 2022. The decrease is due to investment in joint venture which includes payment of salaries, rent and other operating expenses in addition payments made for the outstanding payables.

The change in restricted cash is due to foreign exchange conversion of balances in Canadian Dollars into United States Dollar.

Table of Contents

Prepaid asset

On March 31, 2023, we had prepaid expenses of $41,748 compared to $41,714 as of December 31, 2022. The balance represents the security deposit for the leased land for the facility to produce medical marijuana.

Sales tax recoverable allowance on March 31, 2023 is $nil (December 31, 2022: $nil).

Statement of Operations – For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Revenue

The Company did not generate revenue during the current or the comparable quarter ended in 2023. However, Canary generated revenues of $200,641 (though its investment in JVCo) during the period ended March 31, 2023 (quarter ended March 31, 2022: $1,096,321) and is represented as a share of income from joint venture on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations. The revenue represents the sale of cannabis product and the revenue was concentrated to two customers (2022: six).

Expenses

Our expenses are classified primarily into advisory and consultancy fees, management fees, salaries and wages, legal and professional fees, and depreciation expense. The decrease in operating expenses during the current quarter ended compared to comparable prior quarter ended is due to significant decrease in consulting fee and professional fees in the current period. Other than that, the expense level has remained similar on an overall level due to the management’s continuous efforts to control and reduce expenses.

Expenses primarily represented consulting fees of $223 (2022: $11,239), management fees of $78,324 (2022: $27,885), legal and professional charges of $57,940 (2022: $66,944) comprising legal, review, accounting and Edgar agent fee, depreciation expense amounting to $212,686 (2022: $227,624).

Changes in other income and expenses were due to: (1) the revaluation of the warrant and convertible debt liabilities on each quarter-end which reduced significantly in magnitude since a significant number of warrants expired during the current period ended; (2) increase in the principal balance of higher interest rate bearing loans led to increased interest expense; (3) Losses from the joint venture, as a result, the share of income has increased significantly and (4) and significant decrease in exchange income during the quarter due to unfavorable exchange rate.

Other income and expenses comprised, change in fair value of derivative and warranty liability amounting to positive $2,975 (2022: positive $17,646), interest and bank charges amounting to $353,606 (2022: $288,688), exchange loss $2,275 (2022: $34,034) other income of $4,275 (2022: 60,185), share of loss from joint venture of $43,963 (2022: gain of $46,125) and debt issuance cost of $12,403 (2022: $13,249).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of $6,996,419 (December 31, 2022: $6,017,434). We are actively seeking various financing opportunities to meet the deficit capital requirements.

We have relied on equity financing and personal funds for our operations. The proceeds may not be sufficient to effectively develop our business to the fullest extent to allow us to maximize our revenue potential, in which case, we will need additional capital.

We will need capital to allow us to invest in development. The Company anticipates that its future operations will generate positive cash flows starting in 2023 provided that it is successful in obtaining additional financing in the foreseeable future.

Statement of Cash Flow – For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Operating activities

Operating activities used cash of $186,276 compared to cash provided of $148,043 for the corresponding period of the prior year. This is primarily due to the payments of a number of outstanding balances in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Investing activities

Investing activities used cash of $538,911 in the year 2023 compared to $138,324 cash used in the corresponding period of the prior year. The current period cash utilization represents improvements to Canary’s facility to increase its efficiency and increase cannabis production, and investment made in the JVCo by way of paying operating expenses such as salaries, rent, utilities, etc., which will be reimbursed by the JVCo in the future.

12

Table of Contents

Financing activities

Financing activities provided cash of $554,550 in 2023 compared to cash provided of $68,980 in the year 2022. Cash was provided by a loan advance from a related party in the current and prior period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Critical Accounting Policies

All critical accounting policies are described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Subsequent Events

The Company’s management has evaluated subsequent events up to May 8, 2023, the date the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were issued, pursuant to the requirements of ASC 855 and has the following subsequent events to report:

A settlement agreement has been reached between Canary, the Joint Venture and Thrive, effective April 30, 2023.

This means that Thrive transferred all of it’s right, title and interest in the Joint Venture to Canary.

Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), we have carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2023 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
