As consideration, the Company paid $130,000 within 30 days of the Effective Date and started paying $100,000 in monthly installments of $10,000 commencing in April 2021 to cGreen resulting in a gain on settlement in the amount of $1,704,860. As at June 30, 2023, there was no outstanding balance, the balance has been paid in full and the claim was closed during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021: $10,000).

Joint Venture Agreement Termination

Effective May 14, 2020, Canary entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (“Joint Venture”) with 9258159 Canada Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (referred to as “Thrive”) and 2755757 Ontario Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (referred to as “JVCo”). Canary and Thrive each hold 50% of the voting equity interest in JVCo. The term of the Joint Venture is five (5) years from its effective date of May 14, 2020.

issued Common Stock Purchase Warrant for 10,000,000 shares of Target common stock to CLI as consideration for the Agreement (“CLI Warrants”). Refer to Note 11 for additional details on the CLI Warrants. The combined impact of both transactions resulted in 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.

Going Concern

The Company has earned minimal revenue since inception to date and has sustained operating losses during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company had a working capital deficit of $5,099,244 and an accumulated deficit of $30,565,571 as of June 30, 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. 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/ CannaKorp, Inc and JVCo. 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 (FDIC) limit as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

F-11

Table of Contents

TARGET GROUP INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 June 30, 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.

The Company generated revenue of $758,984 during the six month ended June 30, 2023 whereas $nil in June 30, 2022.

In addition, Canary generated revenue of $791,285 (though its investment in JVCo) during the six months ended June, 30 2023 (six months ended June 30, 2022: $2,109,626) 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 eight customers (2022: three). 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 six months ended June 30, 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

F-13

Table of Contents

TARGET GROUP INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 (“CannaKorp Warrants”) in exchange for all outstanding and promised CannaKorp stock options. The CannaKorp 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.

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 Visava 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 Companyutilizes 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 $1,705,628 (CAD $2,258,212) of right-to-use assets as operating leases and operating lease obligations. The right-to-use asset was reduced by $1,578,517 (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 $26,436 (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, $746,458 (CAD $988,293) was forgiven by the landlord and one vendor.

These leases will expire between 2023 and 2030. The weighted average discount rate used for these leases was 16% (average borrowing rate of the Company). Maturities of lease liabilities were:


2023	$	165,264
2024		330,107
2025		333,408

12. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

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.

A complaint for damages of $150,000 was lodged against CannaKorp by the former Chief Financial Officer of CannaKorp for outstanding professional fees. No claim has been registered.

been recorded in CannaKorp’s payable based on past accruals and outstanding invoices. Due to the uncertainty of timing and the amount of estimated future cash flows, if any, relating to this claim, no further amount has been recognized.

A claim for damages of $1,406,977 (CAD $1,862,805) was lodged against Company and its directors by the former Chief Financial Officer of the Company for wrongful dismissal. The management is of the view that no material losses will arise in respect of the legal claim at the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. As of June 30, 2023, $11,098 has been recorded in Target’s payable based on past accruals. Due to the uncertainty of timing and the amount of estimated future cash flows, if any, relating to this claim, no further amount has been recognized.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, a claim for damages of $98,777 (CAD $130,778) was lodged against Canary by a vendor for breach of contract. The management is of the view that no material losses will arise in respect of the legal claim at the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the outstanding balance was paid in full and the claim is closed.

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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, the pandemic and its lasting impacts did not have a material impact on the Company’s operations. As of June 30, 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 or its lasting impacts. Despite the WHO’s declaration, on or about May 5, 2023, of the end of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the lasting impacts of COVID-19 on the United States, Canada, and the broader global economy, including supply chain disruption, may have a significant continuing negative effect on the Company and may materially impact the Company in the future. The Company had taken, and will again, as necessary, continue to take, 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.

It is not possible to predict the lasting impacts 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 the lasting impacts 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. The Company is closely monitoring the lasting impacts of the pandemic on all aspects of its business.

Commitments

As per the Distribution, Collaboration and Licensing Agreement (“Agreement”) entered with Serious Seeds B.V. (“Serious Seeds”), effective December 6, 2018, the Company will issue to Serious Seeds B.V. each month 5,208 shares of common stock, beginning on the thirteen (13th) months following the effective date of the Agreement and continuing through the sixtieth (60th) month of the initial term. Furthermore, Serious Seeds will be issued warrants in each of the foregoing months to purchase 16,667 shares of Target common stock at varying exercise prices ranging from $0.20 to $0.35 per share. All of the warrants must be exercised on or before the two (2) year anniversary date of each of the warrant issuance dates. As of June 30, 2023, none of the above shares have been issued.

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”.

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.

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”).

Canary is a Canadian Licensed Producer under Health Canada’s Cannabis Act (“Bill C-45”).

Revenue

The Company generated revenue of $758,984 during the quarter ended in 2023 while $nil in the comparable period of 2022.

The revenue represents the sale of cannabis product and the revenue was concentrated to eight customers (2022: two).

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 $15,883 (2022: $7,454), management fees of $77,191 (2022: $55,631), legal and professional charges of $145,987 (2022: $105,647) comprising legal, review, accounting and Edgar agent fee, depreciation expense amounting to $229,568 (2022: $225,335).

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; and (3) and significant increase in exchange income during the quarter due to favorable exchange rate.

Other income and expenses comprised, change in fair value of derivative and warranty liability amounting to positive $4,301 (2022: positive $834), interest and bank charges amounting to $369,092 (2022: $272,373), exchange loss $48,519 (2022: gain of $76,027) other income of $12,507 (2022: 637,591), and debt issuance cost of $12,354 (2022: $12,994).

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 June 30, 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.
