Our Company
We cultivate and process natural, medicinal-grade cannabis oil and high quality cannabis derived medical and wellbeing products and intend to supply these premium products to large channel distributors, including pharmacies, medical clinics, and cosmetic companies. We are an early-stage private company headquartered in Canada.  Our agricultural and processing operations are in Colombia.  We are an emerging growth company and just began to generate revenues in August 2020 through our Flora Beauty LLC and Hemp Textiles subsidiaries, and in December 2020 following acquisitions of our Cronomed, Breeze, and Kasa subsidiaries. We will require the funding from this offering to begin to plant, grow and harvest our cannabis products on a commercial scale, to produce oil extracts, to access needed facilities and labor and to achieve large channel distribution of our products.

Our Brands and Products

We have developed in-house brands and have completed accretive acquisitions to capitalize on consumer and competitive trends. These divisions fit within the health and wellness space, where we estimate revenue growth can be accelerated with our anticipated new product offerings derived from our cannabinoid or CBD oil.  We have not yet produced commercial grade oil extracts and will require adequate proceeds generated from this offering to do so. We will not have sufficient infrastructure as a grower or have the ability to extract CBD oil in any material amounts until our Research Technology and Processing Centre has been constructed and becomes operational. We intend to increase the size of our facility “module by module” over time as the size of the market for our products increases. See “Risks Related to our Business and Industry”.

Our core products are inclusive of the following:

•Medicinal-Grade Cannabis. Our revenues are expected to begin July 2021, through our 90%-owned subsidiary, Cosechemos YA SAS;

•Cannabis Oils and Extracts. Our revenues are expected to begin July 2021, through our 90%-owned subsidiary, Cosechemos YA SAS;

•Skincare and Beauty Products. Our revenues commenced in August 2020, through our 87% owned subsidiary, Flora Beauty LLC;

•Dermo-Cosmetic Products. Our revenues commenced in December 2020, following our acquisition of our  our 90%-owned subsidiary, Breeze Laboratory S.A.S. which entity has generated revenues since January 2013;

•Pharmaceutical Products. Our revenues commenced in December 2020, following our acquisition of  our 100%-owned subsidiary, Grupo Farmaceutico Cronomed SAS, which entity has generated revenues since March 2005;
•Loungewear and Textiles. Our revenues commenced in October 2020 through our 100%-owned subsidiaries, Hemp Textiles & Co LLC and Hemp Textiles & Co SAS; and

•Food and Beverage Products. Our revenues commenced in December 2020,  following our acquisition of our 90%-owned subsidiary Kasa Wholefoods Company SAS Colombiawhich entity has generated revenues since July 2013.

Global Cannabis Market
We are targeting what we believe to be the lucrative global cannabis market, which is growing at 50% per year and projected to reach $20B by 2024, according to BDS Analytics.  More specifically, the Colombian market offers us a cultivation environment that we believe yields exceptional growing economics and an attractive business environment that is equally favorable to us.  We intend to serve the domestic Colombian market and certain countries in Latin America that have legalized medicinal cannabis and allow for the importation of CBD-based products, addressing the medicinal cannabis needs of prospective Colombian patients with conditions potentially suitable for treatment with medical cannabis. Our current focus is on selling our products in the United States and Colombia in the short term, with expansion to other Latin American countries, Canada and Europe, subject to regulatory conditions in such countries.

We believe that the concentrates and oils segments present the biggest opportunity in the cannabis market, creating a compelling value proposition for our pharmaceutical-grade cannabis oil. Nonetheless, we believe that the cannabis market presents a natural opportunity to diversify revenue streams across consumer segments including wellness, beauty, loungewear, textiles and food and beverages.

Our Competitive Strengths

The market for medicinal cannabis in Colombia is characterized by a structural shortage of supply, with few authorized producers of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, dominant cannabis. There are comparatively more producers of CBD dominant cannabis as production of Cannabidiol, or CBD, cannabis is not subject to the quota system in Colombia, which is a system established by the Colombian government to limit the production volume of cannabis plants and derivatives. Although competition in the Colombian market is growing, we believe that we are competitively positioned to capitalize on our early mover status and to satisfy a significant portion of the market’s demand for medicinal cannabis.

We believe that the following competitive strengths have contributed to our success thus far and differentiated us from our competitors:

Experienced Management Team.  Our management is experienced and has a fundamental understanding of Colombia’s regulatory framework, the agricultural and scientific processes necessary to develop high quality and consistent medicinal cannabis products.
Change in the Global Cannabis Industry.  The global cannabis industry is experiencing significant change as governments embrace regulatory reform, liberalizing the production and consumption of cannabis. It is possible that foreign corporations may enter the Colombian market as a result of Colombia’s regulatory regime, creating the prospect of Colombia becoming a hub for future industry development.
Colombian Cultivation Advantage. We anticipate growing our cannabis outdoors in Colombia with favorable environmental conditions.  Further, the strength of the United States dollar is projected to provide us with a cost advantage over our competitors, and Colombia has a workforce highly-skilled in agriculture at a lower cost compared to the United States.
Healthy and Sustainable Products.  We produce cannabis and derivative products across food and beverage, cosmetics, and medicinal markets, which markets are projected to grow rapidly as consumers prioritize healthy and sustainable products that are good for themselves, their family, and their environment.
Efficient Manufacturing Practices. We have adopted efficient manufacturing practices and logistics, synergizing our operations between our technical and commercial teams
Our Growth Strategies
Our goal is to become a market leader in the cultivation and processing of natural, medicinal-grade cannabis oil and high quality cannabis derived medical and wellbeing products for large channel distributors, including pharmacies, medical clinics, and cosmetic companies.  Our primary strategies to achieve our goals include:

2


 

Expanding our production capacity.  In the near term, our primary strategy is to expand our production capacity as quickly as possible to meet existing demand in the United States and Colombia.
Creating Sustainable and Natural Products.  We believe that sustainable innovation is key to achieving our production objectives, and the main driver to our product development approach.
Expanding our geographic footprint.  Our current focus is on selling our products in the United States and Colombia in the short term, with expansion to other Latin American countries, Canada and Europe, subject to regulatory conditions in such countries.
Exploring strategic partnerships.  Because we offer a wide variety of cannabis related products, we believe that we can create a competitive advantage by partnering with influencers, national and multinational companies to jointly develop and market branded cannabis offerings.
Pursuing accretive acquisitions. We believe that our deal-making capabilities and experience will allow us to successfully identify, consummate and integrate acquisitions.

Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)
There is an ongoing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19), which was first identified in China and has since spread rapidly throughout the world.  The pandemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closures of stores and business facilities globally for the past few months.  In March 2020, the World Health organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic.  Given the rapidly expanding nature of COVID-19 pandemic, we believe there is a risk that our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be significantly adversely affected. We cannot accurately predict the effects COVID-19 will have on our operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with us, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect our operations and ability to finance our operations.  The effects of COVID-19 on our business, financial condition and results of operations, include, but are not limited to, the following:

Agricultural activity has been declared as an essential activity in Colombia.  We are operating under a protocol authorized by the Colombian government.

At our farm in Santander, all employees receive a new mask and a new set of surgical gloves daily. Hand sanitizer is provided and hand washing protocols are in place. The employees are also provided a transparent face protection mask, which is replaced every 30 days.  All employees have their temperature taken three times daily and must report to the Health and Safety office if they are experiencing any symptoms, including diarrhea, cough, runny nose, or headache.  If an employee reports any of these symptoms, the employee is sent home to isolate for 14 days, if the symptoms persist for 72 hours, the employee is required to go to a hospital.  

Our farm is located in a rural area, and there have been no positive cases of COVID-19 reported to date.  The province in which the farm is located has reported 475 cases across a population of 2,340,765 to date.

Our staff from the Bogotá office have been working from home since March 25, 2020, and staff from the Toronto office have also been working from home since March 17, 2020.

To date, there have been 5 reported cases of COVID-19 amongst our staff, with all 5 being completely recovered.

Summary of Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

proceedings, or negative media attention;

 exposure to product liability claims, actions and litigation;
 risks associated with product recalls;
 product viability;
 continuing research and development efforts to respond to technological and regulatory changes;
 shelf life of inventory;
 maintenance of effective quality control systems;
 changes to energy prices and supply;
 risks associated with expansion into new jurisdictions;
 regulatory compliance risks;
 opposition to the cannabinoid industry;
 risks related to our operations in Colombia; and
 potential delisting resulting in reduced liquidity of our Common Shares.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer
We are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (which we refer to as the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (which we refer to as the “JOBS Act”).  As such, we are eligible to take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to reporting companies that make filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (which we refer to as the “SEC”).  For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we will not be required to, among other things:
6


 
present more than two years of audited financial statements and two years of related selected financial data and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations disclosure in our registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part;
have an auditor report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (which we refer to as the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”);
disclose certain executive compensation related items; and
seek shareholder non-binding advisory votes on certain executive compensation matters and golden parachute arrangements, to the extent applicable to us as a foreign private issuer.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (iii) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (which we refer to as the “Exchange Act”), which means the market value of our Common Shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

In addition, upon the consummation of this offering, we will report in accordance with the rules and regulations applicable to a “foreign private issuer.” As a foreign private issuer, we will take advantage of certain provisions under the rules that allow us to follow the laws of the Province of Ontario for certain corporate governance matters.  Even when we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we continue to qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:
the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations with respect to a security registered under the Exchange Act;
the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, and current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of specified significant events; and
Regulation Fair Disclosure (“Regulation FD”), which regulates selective disclosures of material information by issuers. 
As a foreign private issuer, we will have four months after the end of each fiscal year to file our annual report on Form 20-F with the SEC.  In addition, our executive officers, directors, and principal shareholders will be exempt from the requirements to report transactions in our equity securities and from the short-swing profit liability provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
Foreign private issuers, like emerging growth companies, are exempt from certain more stringent executive compensation disclosure rules.  As such, even when we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we continue to qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will continue to be exempt from the more stringent compensation disclosures required of public companies that are not a foreign private issuer.
We may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as we are no longer a foreign private issuer.  We are required to determine our status as a foreign private issuer on an annual basis at the end of our second fiscal quarter.  We would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. residents and any of the following three circumstances applies:
(i)
the majority of our executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents;

(ii)
more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States; or

(iii)
our business is administered principally in the United States.
In this prospectus, we have taken advantage of certain of the reduced reporting requirements as a result of being an emerging growth company and a foreign private issuer.  Accordingly, the information that we provide in this prospectus may be different than the information you may receive from other public companies in which you hold equity interests.  If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk.  We operate in a dynamic and rapidly changing industry that involves numerous risks and uncertainties.  You should carefully consider the factors described below, together with all of the other information contained in this prospectus, including the audited and unaudited financial statements and the related notes included in this prospectus, before deciding whether to invest in our securities.  These risk factors are not presented in the order of importance or probability of occurrence.  If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.  In that event, the market price of our securities could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.  Some statements in this prospectus, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements.  Please refer to the section entitled “Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements.”
Risks Related to our Business and Industry

We are an early-stage company with limited operating history and may never become profitable.

We are an early-stage company focused on cultivating, processing and supplying natural, medicinal-grade cannabis oil and high quality cannabis derived medical and wellbeing products to large channel distributors, newly-formed in March 2019, and have limited operating history. We have not yet grown nor harvested a commercial cannabis crop nor produced oil extracts, and we will require adequate proceeds generated from this offering to do so. Further, until our Research Technology and Processing Centre has been constructed and becomes operational, we will not sufficient infrastructure as a grower nor have the ability to extract CBD oil in any material amounts. We are currently in discussions with distributors with whom we intend to contract although no definitive agreements have been signed. We have limited financial resources and no source of operating cash flow. In addition, we do not currently have significant revenues and for the year ended December 31, 2019 had losses of $2,822,958 and an accumulated deficit of $2,803,172.

Additionally, there can be no assurance that additional funding will be available to us for the development of our business, which will require the commitment of substantial resources. Accordingly, you should consider our prospects in light of the costs, uncertainties, delays and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of development. Potential investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties that a company with a limited operating history will face. In particular, potential investors should consider that we may be unable to:

successfully implement or execute our business plan, or that our business plan is sound;
adjust to changing conditions or keep pace with increased demand;
attract and retain an experienced management team; or
raise sufficient funds in the capital markets to effectuate our business plan, including product development, licensing and approvals.

The recent Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak or similar pandemics could adversely affect our operations.

The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease and other unforeseen events, including the recent outbreak a of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19 and the related economic repercussions. We cannot accurately predict the effects COVID-19 will have on our operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations.

Agricultural activity has been declared as an essential activity in Colombia. Cosechemos is operating under a protocol authorized by the Colombian government. At the farm in Santander, all employees receive a new mask and a new set of surgical gloves daily. Hand sanitizer is provided and hand washing protocols are in place. The employees are also provided a transparent face protection mask, which is replaced every 30 days. All employees have their temperature taken three times daily and must report to the Health and Safety office if they are experiencing any symptoms, including diarrhea, cough, runny nose, or headache. If an employee reports any of these symptoms, the employee is sent home to isolate for 14 days and, if the symptoms persist for 72 hours, the employee is required to go to a hospital.
11


Recent and future acquisitions and strategic investments could be difficult to integrate, divert the attention of key management personnel, disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value, and harm our results of operations and financial condition.

We have recently acquired the businesses of Kasa, Breeze, Cronomed, as well as the assets of the Quipropharma Lab, and we may in the future seek to acquire or invest in, businesses, products, or technologies that we believe could complement our operations or expand our breadth, enhance our capabilities, or otherwise offer growth opportunities.  Our diversity of product offerings may not be successful. While our growth strategy includes broadening our service and product offerings, implementing an aggressive marketing plan and employing product diversification, there can be no assurance that our systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our operations as they expand.  We cannot assure you that our existing personnel, systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations in the future or that we will be able to successfully implement appropriate measures consistent with our growth strategy. As part of our planned growth and diversified product offerings, we may have to implement new operational and financial systems, procedures and controls to expand, train and manage our employee base, and maintain close coordination among our staff. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so, or that if we are able to do so, we will be able to effectively integrate them into our existing staff and systems. Additionally, the integration of our acquisitions and pursuit of potential future acquisitions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating, and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not they are consummated. Any acquisition, investment or business relationship may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. In addition, we have limited experience in acquiring other businesses. Specifically, we may not successfully evaluate or utilize the acquired products, assets or personnel, or accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition transaction, including accounting charges. Moreover, the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, investment, or business relationship may not be realized, or we may be exposed to unknown risks or liabilities of our acquisitions.

We may not be able to find and identify desirable acquisition targets or we may not be successful in entering into an agreement with any one target. Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could harm our results of operations. In addition, if an acquired business fails to meet our expectations, our business, results of operations, and financial condition may suffer.  In some cases, minority shareholders may exist in certain of our non-wholly-owned acquisitions (for businesses we do not purchase as an 100% owned subsidiary) and  may retain minority shareholder rights which could make a future change of control or corporate approvals for actions more difficult to achieve and/or more costly.

We also make strategic investments in early-stage companies developing products or technologies that we believe could complement our business or expand our breadth, enhance our technical capabilities, or otherwise offer growth opportunities. These investments may be in early-stage private companies for restricted stock. Such investments are generally illiquid and may never generate value. Further, the companies in which we invest may not succeed, and our investments would lose their value.

The farm is located in a rural area, and there have been no positive cases of COVID-19 reported to date. The department in which the farm is located has reported 475 cases across a population of 2,340,765 to date.

Our staff from the Bogotá office have been working from home since March 25, 2020, and staff from the Toronto office have also been working from home since March 17, 2020.

To date, there have been 5 reported cases of COVID-19 amongst our staff, with all 5 being completely recovered.

Certain conditions or events could disrupt the Company’s supply chains, disrupt operations, and increase operating expenses.
Conditions or events including, but not limited to, the following could disrupt the Company’s supply chains and in particular its ability to deliver its products, interrupt operations at its facilities, increase operating expenses, resulting in loss of sales, delayed performance of contractual obligations or require additional expenditures to be incurred: (i) extraordinary weather conditions or natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires, extreme heat, earthquakes, etc.; (ii) a local, regional, national or international outbreak of a contagious disease, including the COVID-19 coronavirus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, H1N1 influenza virus, avian flu, or any other similar illness could result in a general or acute decline in economic activity; (iii) political instability, social and labour unrest, war or terrorism; or (iv) interruptions in the availability of basic commercial and social services and infrastructure including power and water shortages, and shipping and freight forwarding services including via air, sea, rail and road.
Cannabis laws, regulations, and guidelines are dynamic and subject to changes.

Cannabis laws and regulations are dynamic and subject to evolving interpretations which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter certain aspects of our business plan. It is also possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to certain aspects of our businesses. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business. Management expects that the legislative and regulatory environment in the cannabis industry in Colombia and internationally will continue to be dynamic and will require innovative solutions to try to comply with this changing legal landscape in this nascent industry for the foreseeable future. Compliance with any such legislation may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Public opinion can also exert a significant influence over the regulation of the cannabis industry. A negative shift in the public’s perception of the cannabis industry could affect future legislation or regulation in different jurisdictions.

Demand for cannabis and derivative products could be adversely affected and significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings.

The legal cannabis industry in Colombia is at an early stage of its development. Consumer perceptions regarding legality, morality, consumption, safety, efficacy and quality of medicinal cannabis are mixed and evolving and can be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention and other publicity regarding the consumption of medicinal cannabis products. There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings or publicity will be favourable to the medicinal cannabis market or any particular product, or consistent with earlier publicity. Future research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity that are perceived as less favourable than, or that question, earlier research reports, findings or publicity, could have a material adverse effect on the demand for medicinal cannabis and on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding cannabis in general or associating the consumption of medicinal cannabis with illness or other negative effects or events, could have such a material adverse effect. Public opinion and support for medicinal cannabis use has traditionally been inconsistent and varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Our ability to gain and increase market acceptance of our business may require substantial expenditures on investor relations, strategic relationships and marketing initiatives. There can be no assurance that such initiatives will be successful and their failure to materialize into significant demand may have an adverse effect on our financial condition.
13


Damage to the Company’s reputation can be the result of the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, and could include any negative publicity, whether such publicity is accurate or not.
The increased usage of social media and other web-based tools used to generate, publish and discuss user-generated content and to connect with other users has made it increasingly easier for individuals and groups to communicate and share opinions and views regarding the Company and its activities, whether true or not. Although the Company believes that it operates in a manner that is respectful to all stakeholders and that it takes pride in protecting its image and reputation, it does not ultimately have direct control over how it is perceived by others. Reputational loss may result in decreased ability to enter into new customer, distributor or supplier relationships, retain existing customers, distributors or suppliers, reduced investor confidence and access to capital, increased challenges in developing and maintaining community relations and an impediment to our overall ability to advance our projects, thereby having a material adverse effect on our financial performance, financial condition, cash flows and growth prospects.
We are subject to the inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, actions and litigation.

As a distributor of products designed to be ingested by humans, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if our products are alleged to have caused bodily harm or injury. In addition, the sale of our products involves the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of our products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could occur. We may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that our products caused injury or illness, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning health risks, possible side effects or interactions with other substances. Product liability claims or regulatory actions against us could result in increased costs, could adversely affect our reputation with our clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain or maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of our potential products.

We are subject to the inherent risks involved with product recalls.
Manufacturers and distributors of products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, such as contamination, unintended harmful side effects or interactions with other substances, packaging safety and inadequate or inaccurate labelling disclosure. If any of our products are recalled due to an alleged product defect or for any other reason, we could be required to incur the unexpected expense of the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall. We may lose a significant amount of sales and may not be able to replace those sales at an acceptable margin, or at all. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention. There can be no assurance that any quality, potency or contamination problems will be detected in time to avoid unforeseen product recalls, regulatory action or lawsuits. Additionally, if our products are subject to recall, our reputation could be harmed. A recall for any of the foregoing reasons could lead to decreased demand for our products and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, product recalls may lead to increased scrutiny of our operations by regulatory agencies, requiring further management attention, potential loss of applicable licenses, and potential legal fees and other expenses.
The Company’s products could have unknown side effects.
If the products the Company sells are not perceived to have the effects intended by the end user, its business may suffer and the business may be subject to products liability or other legal actions. Many of the Company’s products contain innovative ingredients or combinations of ingredients. There is little long-term data available with respect to efficacy, unknown side effects and/or interaction with individual human biochemistry, or interaction with other drugs. Moreover, there is little long-term data available with respect to efficacy, unknown side effects and/or its interaction with individual animal biochemistry. As a result, the Company’s products could have certain side effects if not taken as directed or if taken by an end user that has certain known or unknown medical conditions.

14

The Company may be unable to anticipate changes in its potential client requirements that could make the Company’s existing products and services obsolete. The Company’s success will depend, in part, on its ability to continue to enhance its product and service offerings so as to address the increasing sophistication and varied needs of the market and respond to technological and regulatory changes and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis.
Research regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, use and social acceptance of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids (such as CBD and THC) remains in early stages.
There have been relatively few clinical trials on the benefits of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids (such as CBD and THC). Although the Company believes that the articles, reports and studies support its beliefs regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social acceptance of cannabis, future research and clinical trials may prove such statements to be incorrect, or could raise concerns regarding, and perceptions relating to, cannabis. Given these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, investors should not place undue reliance on such articles and reports. Future research studies and clinical trials may draw opposing conclusions to those stated herein or reach negative conclusions related to medical cannabis, which could have a material adverse effect on the demand for the Company’s products, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations or prospects.
The Company’s inventory has a shelf life and may reach its expiration and not be sold.
The Company holds finished goods in inventory and its inventory has a shelf life. Finished goods in the Company’s inventory include cannabis flower, cannabis oil products and cosmeceutical. The Company’s inventory may reach its expiration and not be sold. Although management regularly reviews the quantity and remaining shelf life of inventory on hand, and estimates manufacturing and sales lead times in order to manage its inventory, write-downs of inventory may still be required. Any such write-down of inventory could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The seasonal trends in our business create variability in our financial and operating results.
Our financial and operating results are subject to seasonal and quarterly variations in our net revenue and operating income and, as a result, our quarterly results may fluctuate and could be below expectations.
Our business has realized a disproportionate amount of our net revenue and earnings for prior fiscal years in the third and fourth quarter as a result of the holiday season, and we expect this seasonal impact on our operations to continue in the future. If we experience lower than expected net revenue during any third or fourth quarter, it may have disproportionately large effects on our operating results and financial condition for that year. Any factors that harm our third or fourth quarter operating results, including disruptions in our brands or our supply chains or unfavorable economic conditions, could have a disproportionate effect on our results of operations and our financial condition for our entire fiscal year.
The Company may not be able to maintain effective quality control systems.
The Company may not be able to maintain an effective quality control system. The Company ascribes its early successes, in part, on its commitment to product quality and its effective quality control system. The effectiveness of the Company’s quality control system and its ability to obtain or maintain GMP certification with respect to its manufacturing, processing and testing facilities depend on a number of factors, including the design of its quality control procedures, training programs, and its ability to ensure that its employees adhere to the Company’s policies and procedures. The Company also depends on service providers such as toll manufacturers and contract laboratories to manufacture, process or test its products, that are subject to GMP certification requirements.
15

We expect that regulatory agencies will periodically inspect our and our service providers’ facilities to evaluate compliance with applicable GMP requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements may subject us or our service providers to possible regulatory enforcement actions. Any failure or deterioration of the Company’s or its service providers’ quality control systems, including loss of GMP certification, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Energy prices and supply may be subject to change or curtailment due to new laws or regulations, imposition of new taxes or tariffs, interruptions in production by suppliers, imposition of restrictions on energy supply by government, worldwide price levels and market conditions.
The Company requires diesel and electric energy and other resources for its cultivation and harvest activities and for transportation of cannabis. the Company relies upon third parties for its supply of energy resources used in its operations. The prices for and availability of energy resources may be subject to change or curtailment, respectively, due to, among other things, new laws or regulations, imposition of new taxes or tariffs, interruptions in production by suppliers, imposition of restrictions on energy supply by government, worldwide price levels and market conditions. Although the Company attempts to mitigate the effects of fuel shortages, electricity outages and cost increases, the Company’s operations will continue to depend on external suppliers of fuel and electricity. If energy supply is cut for an extended period and the Company is unable to find replacement sources at comparable prices, or at all, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
The Company may face new or unexpected risks associated with expansion into new jurisdictions.
The Company’s expansion and proposed expansion into other jurisdictions is subject to all the normal risks associated with operating in a new jurisdiction. The Company may face new or unexpected risks or significantly increase its exposure to one or more existing risk factors, including economic instability, changes in laws and regulations (including those specifically related to the cannabis industry and related activities), the effects of competition, opposition to the Company’s activities and other risks and uncertainties associated with conducting business in such jurisdictions. The Company will also be subject to new political, legal and regulatory regimes and other risks including but not limited to taxation, price controls, export/import controls, permitting and licensing regimes, environmental laws, labour laws, changing political conditions, repatriation restrictions and currency fluctuations.
The legal and regulatory requirements and local business culture and practices in the foreign countries in which the Company may expand are different from those in which it currently operates. The officers and directors of the Company will rely, to a great extent, on the Company’s local legal counsel and local consultants and advisors in respect of legal, banking, labour, financing and tax matters in order to ensure compliance with material legal, regulatory and governmental developments as they pertain to and affect the Company’s operations, particularly with respect to cannabis or related operations. Increased compliance costs will be incurred by the Company. Further, there can be no assurance that any market for the Company’s products will develop in these new jurisdictions. These factors may limit the Company’s ability to successfully expand its operations into such jurisdictions and may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
There are risks associated with the regulatory regime and permitting requirements of our operations.
Achievement of our business objectives is contingent, in part, upon compliance with regulatory requirements enacted by governmental authorities and obtaining all regulatory approvals, where necessary, for the sale of our products. We may not be able to obtain or maintain the necessary licenses, permits, quotas, authorizations or accreditations to operate our business, or may only be able to do so at great cost. We cannot predict the time required to secure all appropriate regulatory approvals for our products, or the extent of testing and documentation that may be required by local governmental authorities.
Specifically, the validity of the licenses for the cultivation of psychoactive cannabis, non-psychoactive and the manufacture of cannabis derivatives is five years, pursuant to Article 2.8.11.2.1.3. of Decree 613 of 2017 and the Law 1787 of 2016 in relation to the medical and scientific use of cannabis. Such licenses may be renewed for an equal period as many times as requested by the licensee. The license will remain valid as long as it complies with the requirements established by law.
Our officers and directors must rely, to a great extent, on Colombian legal counsel and local consultants retained in order to keep abreast of material legal, regulatory and governmental developments as they pertain to and affect our business operations, and to assist us with governmental relations. We must rely, to some extent, on those members of management and the Board who have previous experience working and conducting business in Colombia in order to enhance our understanding of and appreciation for the local business culture and practices in Colombia.
16

We also rely on the advice of local experts and professionals in connection with any current and new regulations that develop in respect of banking, financing and tax matters in Colombia. Any developments or changes in such legal, regulatory or governmental requirements or in local business practices in Colombia are beyond our control and may adversely affect our business.
We will incur ongoing costs and obligations related to regulatory compliance. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. We may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of our operations and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations. In addition, changes in regulations, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to our operations, increased compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The cannabinoid industry faces strong opposition and may face similar opposition in other jurisdictions in which we operate.
Many political and social organizations oppose hemp and cannabis and their legalization, and many people, even those who support legalization, oppose the sale of hemp and cannabis in their geographies. Our business will need support from local governments, industry participants, consumers and residents to be successful. Additionally, there are large, well-funded businesses that may have a strong opposition to the cannabis industry. For example, the pharmaceutical and alcohol industries have traditionally opposed cannabis legalization. Any efforts by these or other industries opposed to cannabis would make in halting or impeding the cannabis industry could have detrimental effects on our business.

17


We are subject to the risks inherent in an agricultural business.
Our business involves the growing of cannabis, which is an agricultural product. The occurrence of severe adverse weather conditions, especially droughts, fires, storms or floods is unpredictable and may have a potentially devastating impact on agricultural production and may otherwise adversely affect the supply of cannabis. Adverse weather conditions may be exacerbated by the effects of climate change and may result in the introduction and increased frequency of pests and diseases. The effects of severe adverse weather conditions may reduce our yields or require us to increase our level of investment to maintain yields. Additionally, higher than average temperatures and rainfall can contribute to an increased presence of insects and pests, which could negatively affect cannabis crops. Future droughts could reduce the yield and quality of our cannabis production, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The occurrence and effects of plant disease, insects and pests can be unpredictable and devastating to agricultural production, potentially rendering all or a substantial portion of the affected harvests unsuitable for sale. Even when only a portion of the production is damaged, our results of operations could be adversely affected because all or a substantial portion of the production costs may have been incurred. Although some plant diseases are treatable, the cost of treatment can be high and such events could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, if we fail to control a given plant disease and the production is threatened, we may be unable to adequately supply our customers, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that natural elements will not have a material adverse effect on production.
Our operations could be materially and adversely affected if the supply of cannabis seeds is ceased or delayed and we do not find replacement suppliers and obtain all necessary authorizations.
If for any reason the supply of cannabis seeds is ceased or delayed, we would have to seek alternate suppliers and obtain all necessary authorization for the new seeds. If replacement seeds cannot be obtained at comparable prices, or at all, or if the necessary authorizations are not obtained, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.
Many of our competitors have greater resources that may enable them to compete more effectively than us in the cannabis industry.
The industry in which we operate is subject to intense and increasing competition. Some of our competitors have a longer operating history and greater capital resources and facilities, which may enable them to compete more effectively in this market. We expect to face additional competition from existing licensees and new market entrants who are granted licenses in Colombia, who are not yet active in the industry. If a significant number of new licenses are granted in the near term, we may experience increased competition for market share and may experience downward pricing pressure on our products as new entrants increase production. Such competition may cause us to encounter difficulties in generating revenues and market share, and in positioning our products in the market. If we are unable to successfully compete with existing companies and new entrants to the market, our lack of competitive advantage will have a negative effect on our business and financial condition.
The Company could face competitive risks from the development and distribution of synthetic cannabis.
The pharmaceutical industry and others may attempt to enter the cannabis industry and, in particular, the medical cannabis industry through the development and distribution of synthetic products that emulate the effects of and treatment provided by naturally occurring cannabis. If synthetic cannabis products are widely adopted, the widespread popularity of such synthetic cannabis products could change the demand, volume and profitability of the botanical cannabinoid industry. This could adversely affect our ability to secure long-term profitability and success through the sustainable and profitable operation of our business.
18

The legalization of adult-use, recreational cannabis may reduce sales of medical cannabis.
Legalization of the sale to adults of recreational, non-medical cannabis in any country may increase competition in the medical cannabis market. We may not be able to achieve our business plan in a highly competitive market where recreational, adult-use cannabis is legal, or the market may experience a drop in the price of cannabis and cannabis products over time, decreasing our profit margins.
The Company is reliant on third party transportation services and importation services to deliver its products to customers.
The Company relies on third party transportation services and importation services to deliver its products to its customers. The Company is exposed to the inherent risks associated with relying on third party transportation service-providers, including logistical problems, delays, loss or theft of product and increased shipping and insurance costs. Any delay in transporting the product, breach of security or loss of product, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial performance and results of operations. Further, any breach of security and loss of product during transport could affect the Company’s status as a licensed producer in Colombia.
The Company is dependent on suppliers to supply equipment, parts and components for the operation of its business.
The Company’s ability to compete and grow will be dependent upon having access, at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner, to equipment, parts and components. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in maintaining the required supply of equipment, parts and components. It is also possible that the final costs of the major equipment contemplated by capital expenditure programs may be significantly greater than anticipated or available, in which circumstance there could be a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial results.
We may not be able to establish and maintain bank accounts in certain countries.
There is a risk that banking institutions in countries where we operate will not open accounts for us or will not accept payments or deposits from proceeds related to the cannabis industry. Such risks could increase our costs or prevent us from expanding into certain jurisdictions.

19


The Company may be subject to cyber-security and privacy risks that could disrupt its operations and expose the Company to financial losses, contractual losses, liability, reputational damage and additional expense.
The Company may be subject to risks related to our information technology systems, including cyber-attacks, malware, ransomware and phishing attacks that could target our intellectual property, trade secrets, financial information, personal information of our employees, customers and patients, including sensitive personal health information. The occurrence of such an attack could disrupt our operations and expose the Company to financial losses, contractual damages, liability under labour and privacy laws, reputational damage and additional expenses. We have implemented security measures to protect our data and information technology systems; however, such measures may not be effective in preventing cyber-attacks. We may be required to allocate additional resources to implement additional preventative measures including significant investments in information technology systems. A serious cyber-security breach could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company may collect and store certain personal information about customers and is responsible for protecting such information from privacy breaches. A privacy breach may occur through procedural or process failure, information technology malfunction, or deliberate unauthorized intrusions. In addition, theft of data is an ongoing risk whether perpetrated via employee collusion or negligence or through deliberate cyber-attack. Any such privacy breach or theft could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. If the Company were found to be in violation of privacy or security rules or other laws protecting the confidentiality of information, the Company could be subject to sanctions and civil or criminal penalties, which could increase its liabilities, harm its reputation and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company may incur significant costs to defend its intellectual property and other proprietary rights.
The ownership and protection of trademarks, patents, trade secrets and intellectual property rights are significant aspects of the Company's future success. Unauthorized parties may attempt to replicate or otherwise obtain and use the Company's products and technology. Policing the unauthorized use of the Company's current or future trademarks, patents, trade secrets or intellectual property rights could be difficult, expensive, time-consuming and unpredictable, as may be enforcing these rights against unauthorized use by others.
20

In addition, other parties may claim that the Company's products infringe on their proprietary and perhaps patent protected rights. Such claims, regardless of their merit, may result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources, legal fees, injunctions, temporary restraining orders and/or require the payment of damages. As well, the Company may need to obtain licenses from third parties who allege that the Company has infringed on their lawful rights. Such licenses may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. In addition, the Company may not be able to obtain or utilize on terms that are favorable to it, or at all, licenses or other rights with respect to intellectual property that it does not own.
Risks Related to Operations in Colombia

We are reliant on certain licenses and authorizations to operate in Colombia.

Our ability to grow, store and sell cannabis in Colombia is dependent on our ability to sustain and/or obtain the necessary licenses and authorizations by certain authorities in Colombia. To date, we have received the Non-Psychoactive Cannabis Cultivation License and the Cannabis Derivatives Manufacturing License, and we have applied for the Psychoactive Cannabis Cultivation License. The effects of the compliance regime, any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain or keep the regulatory approvals may significantly delay or impair the development of markets, products and sales initiatives and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The licenses and authorizations are subject to ongoing compliance and reporting requirements and our ability to obtain, sustain or renew any such licenses and authorizations on acceptable terms is subject to changes in regulations and policies and to the discretion of the applicable authorities or other governmental agencies in Colombia and potentially in other foreign jurisdictions. Failure to comply with the requirements of the licenses or authorizations or any failure to maintain the licenses or authorizations would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. Specifically, the validity of the licenses for the cultivation of psychoactive cannabis, non-psychoactive and the manufacture of cannabis derivatives is five years, pursuant to Article 2.8.11.2.1.3. of Decree 613 of 2017 and the Law 1787 of 2016 in relation to the medical and scientific use of cannabis. Such licenses may be renewed for an equal period as many times as requested by the licensee. The license will remain valid as long as it complies with the requirements established by law.

Although we believe that we will meet the requirements to obtain, sustain or renew the necessary licenses and authorizations, there can be no guarantee that the applicable authorities will issue these licenses or authorizations. Should the authorities fail to issue the necessary licenses or authorizations, we may be curtailed or prohibited from the production and/or distribution of cannabis or from proceeding with the development of our operations as currently proposed and our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.
Restrictions or regulations concerning changes in corporate structure may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market process for our securities.

Colombian cannabis licenses are granted on a non-transferable, non-exchangeable and non-assignable basis. Any breach of this restriction may result in the revocation of the license. While there are no specific regulations or restrictions regarding the effects of a change in control, modification of the corporate structure, issuance of shares, or any changes in holders or final beneficiaries on the cannabis licenses, these restrictions may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities.

Our operations are located in Colombia, which may make it more difficult for investors to understand and predict how changing market and economic conditions will affect our financial results.

Our operations are located in Colombia and, consequently, are subject to the economic, political and tax conditions prevalent in that country. The economic conditions in Colombia are subject to different growth expectations, market weaknesses and business practices than economic conditions in other markets. We may not be able to predict how changing market conditions in Colombia will affect our financial results.

As of the date of this prospectus, Colombia’s long-term foreign currency sovereign credit ratings were affirmed “Baa2” by Moody’s, “BBB-” by S&P and “BBB” by Fitch, three of the main rating agencies worldwide. The Colombian economy is expected to experience a modest recovery in growth in 2019, along with a decrease in the current account deficit and a marginal increase in debt in the coming three years. The stable outlook reflects their expectation that Colombia’s established political institutions and track record of consensus on key economic policies will contribute to economic stability and continuity over the coming two to three years.

Colombia’s economy, like most Latin-American countries, continues to suffer from the effects of lower commodity prices, mainly oil, reflected in its elevated level of external debt. Even though the country has taken measures to stabilize the economy, it is uncertain how these measures will be perceived and if the intended goal of increasing investor’s confidence will be achieved.
21


Colombia’s financial and securities markets are influenced by the economic and market conditions in other countries.

Financial and securities markets in Colombia are influenced by the economic and market conditions in other countries, including other South American emerging market countries. Although economic conditions in these countries may differ significantly from economic conditions in Colombia, international investors’ reactions to developments in these other countries, may substantially affect capital inflows into the Colombian economy, and the market value of securities of issuers with operations in Colombia.

Economic downturn or volatility could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, weakening of economic conditions could lead to reductions in demand for our products.  Further, weakened economic conditions or a recession could reduce the amount of income customers are able to spend on our products. In addition, as a result of volatile or uncertain economic conditions, we may experience the negative effects of increased financial pressures on our clients. For instance, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected by increased competitive pricing pressure, which could result in the incurrence of increased bad debt expense. If we are not able to timely and appropriately adapt to changes resulting from a weak economic environment, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

While we do not currently operate in protected areas established by the National System of Protected Areas, we cannot provide assurances that areas in which we operate will not be subject to risks associated therewith in the future.

Under Colombian laws, competent governmental authorities are not allowed to grant any type of cannabis licenses on properties that are located within areas registered as national parks or protected areas in the National System of Protected Areas (“SINAP”). Additionally, the Colombian government is entitled to create new protected areas based on their environmental relevance, which might result in the prohibition to conduct any type of activities on those areas or the need to obtain specific environmental authorizations or permits.

We do not operate in a protected area and we believe that we are not currently at risk of expropriation pursuant to the SINAP, but we cannot assure you that the areas in which we operate will not be subject to such risks in the future.

Economic and political conditions in Colombia may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our operations are located in Colombia. Consequently, our financial condition and results of operations depend significantly on macroeconomic and political conditions prevailing in Colombia. Decreases in the growth rate, periods of negative growth, increases in inflation, changes in law, regulation, policy, or future judicial rulings and interpretations of policies involving exchange controls and other matters such as (but not limited to) currency depreciation, inflation, interest rates, taxation, banking laws and regulations and other political or economic developments in or affecting Colombia may affect the overall business environment and may, in turn, adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations in the future. The Colombian government frequently intervenes in Colombia’s economy and from time to time makes significant changes in monetary, fiscal and regulatory policy. Our business and results of operations or financial condition may be adversely affected by changes in government or fiscal policies, and other political, diplomatic, social and economic developments that may affect Colombia. We cannot predict what policies the Colombian government will adopt and whether those policies would have a negative effect on the Colombian economy or on our business and financial performance in the future.
We cannot assure you whether current stability in the Colombian economy will be sustained. If the condition of the Colombian economy were to deteriorate, we would likely be adversely affected.

Colombia could experience substantial inflation in the future resulting in the Company’s costs in the Colombian peso increasing significantly.
Colombia has in the past experienced double-digit rates of inflation. If Colombia experiences substantial inflation in the future, the Company’s costs in Colombian peso terms will increase significantly, subject to movements in applicable exchange rates. Inflationary pressures may also curtail the Company’s ability to access global financial markets in the longer term and its ability to fund planned capital expenditures, and could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Colombian government’s response to inflation or other significant macro-economic pressures may include the introduction of policies or other measures that could increase the Company’s costs, reduce operating margins and materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.
22

Certain of the Company’s key documents are in Spanish, and translations may not exist or be readily available.
As a result of the Company conducting its operations in Colombia, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries’ books and records, including key documents such as material contracts and financial documentation are principally negotiated and entered into in the Spanish language and English translations may not exist or be readily available. The Company relies on the use of professional translators for in person meetings with non-Spanish speakers where required, and for document translation. The Company does not foresee that significant additional accommodations will be required. The Company does not have a formal communication plan that sets out measures that will be taken to mitigate any potential communication-related issues as it does not consider one necessary. All material documents provided to the directors are in the English language. If any material documents are in an original language other than English, the documents are translated by certified translators. All members of the Company’s Board of Directors and its executive officers are fluent in English. Additionally, the following directors and officers of the Company are fluent in the Spanish language: Luis Merchan, President, CEO and Director; Damian Lopez, VP Strategy and Legal; and Javier Franco, VP Agriculture.
The Colombian government and the Central Bank exercise significant influence on Colombia’s economy.

Although the Colombian government has not imposed foreign exchange restrictions since 1990, Colombia’s foreign currency markets have historically been extremely regulated. Colombian law permits the Central Bank of Colombia (the “Central Bank”) to impose foreign exchange controls to regulate the remittance of dividends and/or foreign investments in the event that the foreign currency reserves of the Central Bank fall below a level equal to the value of three months of imports of goods and services into Colombia. An intervention that precludes our Colombian subsidiary from possessing, utilizing or remitting U.S. Dollars would impair our financial condition and results of operations, and would impair the Colombian subsidiary’s ability to convert any dividend payments to U.S. dollars.

The Colombian government and the Central Bank may also seek to implement new policies aimed at controlling further fluctuation of the Colombian peso against the U.S. dollar and fostering domestic price stability. The Central Bank may impose certain mandatory deposit requirements in connection with foreign-currency denominated loans obtained by Colombian residents. We cannot predict or control future actions by the Central Bank in respect of such deposit requirements, which may involve the establishment of a different mandatory deposit percentage. The U.S. dollar/Colombian peso exchange rate has shown some instability in recent years.

Colombia has experienced and continues to experience internal security issues that have had or could have a negative effect on the Colombian economy and our financial condition.

Colombia is subject to sustained internal security issues, primarily due to the activities of guerrilla groups, such as dissidents from the former Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia), or “FARC,” the National Liberation Army (Ejército de Liberación Nacional), or “ELN,” paramilitary groups, drug cartels and criminal gangs (Bacrim). In remote regions of the country with minimal governmental presence, these groups have exerted influence over the local population and funded their activities by protecting and rendering services to drug traffickers and participating in drug trafficking activities. Even though the Colombian government’s policies have reduced guerilla presence and criminal activity, particularly in the form of terrorist attacks, homicides, kidnappings and extortion, such activity persists in Colombia, and possible escalation of such activity and the effects associated with them have had and may have in the future a negative effect on the Colombian economy and on us, including on our customers, employees, results of operations and financial condition. The Colombian government commenced peace talks with the FARC in August 2012, and peace negotiations with the ELN began in November 2016. The Colombian government and the FARC signed a peace deal on September 26, 2016, which was amended after voters rejected it in the referendum held on October 2, 2016. The new agreement was signed on November 24, 2016 and was ratified by the Colombian Congress on November 30, 2016 and is being implemented after four years of negotiations. Pursuant to the peace agreements negotiated between the FARC and the Colombian government in 2016, the FARC occupies five seats in the Colombian Senate and five seats in the Colombian House of Representatives. The new deal clarifies protection to private property, is expected to increase the government’s presence in rural areas and bans former rebels from running for office in certain newly created congressional districts in post-conflict zones. As a result, during the transition process, Colombia may experience an increase in internal security issues, drug-related crime and guerilla and paramilitary activities, which may have a negative effect on the Colombian economy. Our business or financial condition could be adversely affected by rapidly changing economic or social conditions, including the Colombian government’s response to implementation of the agreement with FARC and ongoing peace negotiations, if any, which may result in legislation that increases the tax burden of Colombian companies.

Despite efforts by the Colombian government, drug-related crime, guerrilla paramilitary activity and criminal bands continue to exist in Colombia, and allegations have surfaced regarding members of the Colombian congress and other government officials having ties to guerilla and paramilitary groups. Although the Colombian government and ELN have been in talks since February 2017 to end a five-decade war, the Colombian government has suspended the negotiations after a series of rebel attacks. On January 17, 2019, a car with explosives burst through the gates at a police academy in Bogotá resulting in 21 people dead and many injured. The Colombian Defense Minister confirmed that the terrorist attack was perpetrated by the ELN. Any possible escalation in the violence associated with this terrorist attack and/or these activities may have a negative effect on the Colombian economy. In addition, the current administration has not honored the peace protocols to be applied in the event of a suspension of peace negotiations entered into by the prior administration, on the grounds that these protocols are only binding to the administration that agreed to them. This situation could result in escalated violence by the ELN and may have a negative effect on the credibility of the Colombian government which could in turn have a negative effect on the Colombian economy. Any terrorist activity in Colombia generally may disrupt supply chains and discourage qualified individuals from being involved with our operations.
23


Political and economic instability in the region may affect the Colombian economy and, consequently, our results of operations and financial condition.

Some of Colombia’s neighboring countries, particularly Venezuela, have experienced and continue to experience periods of political and economic instability. According to figures from the United Nations, more than two million Venezuelans have emigrated amid food and medicine shortages and profound political divisions in their country.  Approximately half of those migrants have opted to live in Colombia, and many have arrived with only what they could carry. Providing migrants with access to healthcare, utilities and education may have a negative effect on Colombia’s economy if the Colombian government is not able to respond adequately to legalize migrants, generate programs to help them find formal jobs, and increase tax revenue and consumption.

Moreover, diplomatic relations with Venezuela and Ecuador have from time to time been tense and affected by events surrounding the Colombian military forces’ confrontations with guerilla groups, particularly on Colombia’s borders with each of Venezuela and Ecuador. More recently, the Colombian government joined an international campaign against Nicolás Maduro asking him to relinquish power, which has further increased diplomatic tensions with Venezuela.

On November 19, 2012, the International Court of Justice placed a sizeable area of the Caribbean Sea within Nicaragua’s exclusive economic zone, which until then had been deemed by Colombia as part of its own exclusive economic zone. A worsening of diplomatic relations between Colombia and Nicaragua involving the disputed waters could result in the Nicaraguan government taking measures, or a reaction among the Nicaraguan public, which would be detrimental to Colombian-owned interests in that country.
Further economic and political instability in Colombia’s neighboring countries or any future deterioration in relations with Venezuela, Ecuador, Nicaragua and other countries in the region may result in the closing of borders, the imposition of trade barriers and a breakdown of diplomatic ties, or a negative effect on Colombia’s trade balance, economy and general security situation, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Finally, political conditions such as changes in the United States policies related to immigration and remittances could affect the regions in which we operate. Economic conditions in the United States and the region generally may be affected by the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. This could have an indirect effect on the Colombian economy and other countries in which we may operate.

The Company is subject to risks from its construction projects, including the anticipated construction of its Research Technology and Processing Centre.
The Company is subject to a number of risks in connection with the construction of facilities in Colombia, including the availability and performance of engineers and contractors, suppliers and consultants and the receipt of required governmental approvals, licenses and permits. Any delay in the performance of any one or more of the contractors, suppliers, consultants or other persons on which the Company is dependent in connection with its construction activities, a delay in or failure to receive the required governmental approvals, licenses and permits in a timely manner or on reasonable terms, or a delay in or failure in connection with the completion and successful operation of the operational elements in connection with construction could delay or prevent the construction of the Research Technology and Processing centre as planned. Until the Company’s Research Technology and Processing Centre has been constructed and becomes operational, the Company will not have the ability to extract CBD oil in any material amount. There can be no assurance that current or future construction plans implemented by the Company will be successfully completed on time, within budget and without design defect, that the necessary personnel and equipment will be available in a timely manner or on reasonable terms to successfully complete construction projects, that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary governmental approvals, licenses and permits, or that the completion of the construction, the start-up costs and the ongoing operating costs will not be significantly higher than anticipated by the Company. Any of the foregoing factors could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

24

Any additional taxes resulting from changes to tax regulations or the interpretation thereof in Colombia or other countries where we operate, could adversely affect our consolidated results.
Uncertainty relating to tax legislation poses a constant risk to us.  Colombian national authorities have levied new taxes in recent years.  Changes in legislation, regulation and jurisprudence can affect tax burdens by increasing tax rates and fees, creating new taxes, limiting stated expenses and deductions, and eliminating incentives and non-taxed income.
Additional tax regulations could be implemented that could require us to make additional tax payments, negatively affecting our financial condition, results of operation, and cash flow. In addition, either national or local taxing authorities may not interpret tax regulations in the same way that we do. Differing interpretations could result in future tax litigation and associated costs.
Risks Related to Our Regulatory Framework
Marijuana remains illegal under U.S. federal law, and the enforcement of U.S. cannabis laws could change.
There are significant legal restrictions and regulations that govern the cannabis industry in the United States. Marijuana remains a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act, making it illegal under federal law in the United States to, among other things, cultivate, distribute or possess cannabis in the United States. In those states in which the use of marijuana has been legalized, its use remains a violation of federal law pursuant to the Controlled Substances Act. The Controlled Substances Act classifies marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance, and as such, medical and adult use cannabis use is illegal under U.S. federal law. Unless and until the U.S. Congress amends the Controlled Substances Act with respect to marijuana (and the President approves such amendment), there is a risk that federal authorities may enforce current federal law. Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by, or intended to promote, cannabis-related business activities in the United States may form the basis for prosecution under applicable U.S. federal money laundering legislation. While the approach to enforcement of such laws by the federal government in the United States has trended toward non-enforcement against individuals and businesses that comply with medical or adult-use cannabis regulatory programs in states where such programs are legal, strict compliance with state laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve us of liability under U.S. federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought against us. Since U.S. federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana pre-empts state laws that legalize its use, enforcement of federal law regarding marijuana is a significant risk and would greatly harm our business, prospects, revenue, results of operation and financial condition. The enforcement of federal laws in the United States is a risk to our business and any proceedings brought against us thereunder may materially, adversely affect our operations and financial performance.
Our activities are, and will continue to be, subject to evolving regulation by governmental authorities. The legality of the production, cultivation, extraction, distribution, retail sales, transportation and use of cannabis differs among states in the United States. Due to the current regulatory environment in the United States, new risks may emerge; management may not be able to predict all such risks.
Due to the conflicting views between state legislatures and the federal government regarding cannabis, cannabis businesses are subject to inconsistent laws and regulations. There can be no assurance that the federal government will not enforce federal laws relating to marijuana and seek to prosecute cases involving marijuana businesses that are otherwise compliant with state laws in the future. The prior U.S. administration attempted to address the inconsistent treatment of cannabis under state and federal law in the Cole Memorandum that Deputy Attorney General James Cole sent to all U.S. Attorneys in August 2013, which outlined certain priorities for the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) relating to the prosecution of cannabis offenses. The Cole Memorandum noted that, in jurisdictions that have enacted laws legalizing cannabis in some form and that have also implemented strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems to control the cultivation, production, distribution, sale and possession of cannabis, conduct in compliance with such laws and regulations was not a priority for the DOJ. However, the DOJ did not provide (and has not provided since) specific guidelines for what regulatory and enforcement systems would be deemed sufficient under the Cole Memorandum.
On January 4, 2018, former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions formally issued the Sessions Memorandum, which rescinded the Cole Memorandum effective upon its issuance. The Sessions Memorandum stated, in part, that current law reflects “Congress’ determination that cannabis is a dangerous drug and cannabis activity is a serious crime,” and Mr. Sessions directed all U.S. Attorneys to enforce the laws enacted by Congress and to follow well-established principles when pursuing prosecutions related to cannabis activities.
25

As a result of the Sessions Memorandum, federal prosecutors are now free to utilize their prosecutorial discretion to decide whether to prosecute cannabis activities, despite the existence of state-level laws that may be inconsistent with federal prohibitions. No direction was given to federal prosecutors in the Sessions Memorandum as to the priority they should ascribe to such cannabis activities, and thus it is uncertain how active U.S. federal prosecutors will be in the future in relation to such activities.
There can be no assurance that the federal government will not enforce federal laws relating to cannabis and seek to prosecute cases involving cannabis businesses that are otherwise compliant with state laws in the future. Jeff Sessions resigned as U.S. Attorney General on November 7, 2018. On February 14, 2019, William Barr was confirmed as U.S. Attorney General. Mr. Barr has stated that he does not support cannabis legalization but has also stated that he does not intend to prosecute cannabis businesses that are in compliance with state laws. Most states that have legalized cannabis continue to craft their regulations pursuant to the Cole Memorandum. Federal enforcement agencies have taken little or no action against state-compliant cannabis businesses. However, the DOJ may change its enforcement policies at any time, with or without advance notice.
The uncertainty of U.S. federal enforcement practices going forward and the inconsistency between U.S. federal and state laws and regulations present major risks for the Company.
Any failure on our part to comply with applicable regulations could prevent us from being able to carry on our business, and there may be additional costs associated with any such failure.
Our business activities are heavily regulated in all jurisdictions where we do business. Our operations are subject to various laws, regulations and guidelines by governmental authorities relating to the cultivation, processing, manufacture, marketing, management, distribution, transportation, storage, sale, packaging, labelling, pricing and disposal of cannabis and cannabis products. In addition, we are subject to laws and regulations relating to employee health and safety, insurance coverage and the environment. Laws and regulations, applied generally, grant government agencies and self-regulatory bodies broad administrative discretion over our activities, including the power to limit or restrict business activities as well as impose additional disclosure requirements on our products and services.
Any failure by us to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements could
require extensive changes to our operations;

result in regulatory or agency proceedings or investigations;

result in the revocation of our licenses and permits, increased compliance costs;

result in damage awards, civil or criminal fines or penalties;

result in restrictions on our operations;

harm our reputation; or

give rise to material liabilities.
There can be no assurance that any future regulatory or agency proceedings, investigations or audits will not result in substantial costs, a diversion of management’s attention and resources or other adverse consequences to our business.
26

Achievement of our business objectives is contingent, in part, upon compliance with regulatory requirements enacted by governmental authorities and obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals for the cultivation, processing, production, storage, distribution, transportation, sale, import and export, as applicable, of our products. Any failure to comply with the regulatory requirements applicable to our operations may lead to possible sanctions, including:
the revocation or imposition of additional conditions on licenses to operate our business;

the suspension or expulsion from a particular market or jurisdiction or of our key personnel;

the imposition of additional or more stringent inspection, testing and reporting requirements;

product recalls or seizures; and

the imposition of fines and censures.
In addition, changes in regulations, government or judicial interpretation of regulations, or more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to our operations, increase compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities or a revocation of our licenses and other permits. Furthermore, governmental authorities may change their administration, application or enforcement procedures at any time, which may adversely affect our ongoing regulatory compliance costs. There is no assurance that we will be able to comply or continue to comply with applicable regulations.
The FDA Limits the Ability to Discuss the Medical Benefits of CBD.
Under FDA rules it is illegal for companies to make “health claims” or claim that a product has a specific medical benefit. The FDA has not recognized any medical benefits derived from CBD, which means that Company is not legally permitted to advertise any potential health claims related to its CBD products. Because of the perception among many consumers that CBD is a health/medicinal product, Company’s inability to make such health claims about its CBD products, may limit Company’s ability to market and sell its product to consumers, which would negatively affect Company’s revenues and profits.
The legal cannabis market is a relatively new industry. As a result, the size of our target market is difficult to quantify, and investors will be reliant on their own estimates on the accuracy of market data.
Because the cannabis industry is in a nascent stage, there is a lack of information about comparable companies available for potential investors to review in deciding about whether to invest in us and, few, if any, established companies whose business model we can follow or upon whose success we can build. Accordingly, investors should rely on their own estimates regarding the potential size, economics and risks of the cannabis market in deciding whether to invest in our Common Shares. We are an early-stage company that has not generated net income. There can be no assurance that our growth estimates are accurate or that the cannabis market will be large enough for our business to grow as projected.
Although we are committed to researching and developing new markets and products and improving existing products, there can be no assurances that such research and market development activities will prove profitable or that the resulting markets or products, if any, will be commercially viable or successfully produced and marketed. We must rely largely on our own market research to forecast sales and design products as detailed forecasts and consumer research are not generally obtainable from reliable third-party sources in Canada and in other international jurisdictions.
In addition, there is no assurance that the industry and market will continue to exist and grow as currently estimated or anticipated or function and evolve in the manner consistent with management’s expectations and assumptions. We could also be subject to other events or circumstances that that adversely affect the cannabis industry, such as the imposition of further restrictions on sales and marketing or further restrictions on sales in certain areas and markets.

Risks Related to Financials and Accounting

We may increase our foreign sales in the future, and such sales may be subject to unexpected regulatory requirements and other barriers.

Our functional currency is denominated in U.S. dollars. We currently expect that sales will be denominated in Colombian pesos and may, in the future, have sales denominated in the currencies of additional countries in which we establish operations or distribution. In addition, we incur the majority of our operating expenses in Colombia pesos. In the future, the proportion of our sales that are international may increase. Such sales may be subject to unexpected regulatory requirements and other barriers. Any fluctuation in the exchange rates of foreign currencies may negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have not previously engaged in foreign currency hedging. If we decide to hedge our foreign currency exposure, we may not be able to hedge effectively due to lack of experience, unreasonable costs or illiquid markets. In addition, those activities may be limited in the protection they provide from foreign currency fluctuations and can themselves result in losses.

Assumptions, estimates and judgments related to critical accounting matters could significantly affect our reported financial results or financial condition.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, as provided in the notes to our financial statements, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our operating results may be adversely affected if the assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in the assumptions, which could cause our operating results to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the price of our Common Shares. Significant assumptions and estimates used in preparing the financial statements include those related to the credit quality of accounts receivable, income tax credits receivable, share based payments, impairment of non-financial assets, fair value of biological assets, as well as revenue and cost recognition.

There are tax risks the Company may be subject to in carrying on business in multiple jurisdictions.

We and our subsidiaries will operate and, accordingly, will be subject to income tax and other forms of taxation in multiple jurisdictions. We may be subject to income taxes and non-income taxes in a variety of jurisdictions and our tax structure may be subject to review by both domestic and foreign taxation authorities.  Those tax authorities may disagree with our interpretation and/or application of relevant tax rules. A challenge by a tax authority in these circumstances might require us to incur costs in connection with litigation against the relevant tax authority or reaching a settlement with the tax authority and, if the tax authority’s challenge is successful, could result in additional taxes (perhaps together with interest and penalties) being assessed on us, and as a result an increase in the amount of tax payable by us. In addition, we may be subject to different taxes imposed by the Colombian government, and changes within such tax, legal and regulatory framework may have an adverse effect on our financial results.

Taxation laws and rates which determine taxation expenses may vary significantly in different jurisdictions, and legislation governing taxation laws and rates are also subject to change. Therefore, our earnings may be affected by changes in the proportion of earnings taxed in different jurisdictions, changes in taxation rates, changes in estimates of liabilities and changes in the amount of other forms of taxation. The determination of our provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities will require significant judgment (including based on external advice) as to the interpretation and application of these rules. We may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities or expenses.
28


Additionally, dividends and other intra-group payments made by our subsidiaries or international branches may expose the recipients of such payments to taxes in their jurisdictions of organization and operation and such dividends and other intra-group payments may also be subject to withholding taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which the entity making the payment is organized or tax resident.  Unless such withholding taxes are fully creditable or refundable, dividends and other intra-group payments may increase the amount of tax paid by us.  Although the Company and its subsidiaries arrange themselves and their affairs with a view to minimizing the incurrence of such taxes, there can be no assurance that we will succeed.

Restrictions on Deduction of Certain Expenses for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes

Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), prohibits businesses from deducting certain expenses associated with trafficking controlled substances for United States federal income tax purposes. The IRS has invoked Code Section 280E in tax audits against various cannabis businesses in the U.S. that are permitted under applicable state laws. Section 280E of the Code prohibits cannabis businesses that are deemed to be trafficking in controlled substances from deducting certain ordinary and necessary business expenses, forcing them to pay higher effective federal tax rates than similar companies in other industries. The effective tax rate on a cannabis business depends on how large its ratio of non-deductible expenses is to its total revenues. Therefore, businesses in the legal cannabis industry may be less profitable than they would otherwise be.

Although the IRS issued a clarification allowing the deduction of certain expenses, the scope of such items is interpreted very narrowly and the bulk of operating costs and general administrative costs are not permitted to be deducted. While there are currently several pending cases before various administrative bodies and federal courts challenging these restrictions, there is no guarantee that these authorities will issue an interpretation of Code Section 280E favorable to cannabis businesses.

There is a risk that we will be a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the current or any future taxable year, which could result in material adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences if you are a U.S. Holder.

If our Company (or any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries) is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder (as defined below under “Certain Tax Considerations—Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) owns Common Shares, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to such U.S. Holder. See “Certain Tax Considerations—Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for further information. The determination of whether a corporation is a PFIC for a taxable year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules that are subject to differing interpretations. In addition, the determination of whether a corporation will be a PFIC for any taxable year generally can only be made after the close of such taxable year. Therefore, it is possible that we could be classified as a PFIC for our initial taxable year or in future years due to changes in the nature of our business, composition of our assets or income, as well as changes in our market capitalization. In particular, our PFIC status will depend, in part, on the amount of cash that we raise in this offering and how quickly we utilize the cash in our business. Based upon the foregoing, it is uncertain whether we will be a PFIC for our current taxable year or any future taxable year. We have not determined, if we (or any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries) were to be classified as a PFIC for a taxable year, whether we will provide information necessary for a U.S. Holder to make a “qualified electing fund” election which, if available, would result in tax treatment different from (and generally less adverse than) the general tax treatment for PFICs. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should assume that they will not be able to make a qualified electing fund election with respect to the Common Shares. The PFIC rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the PFIC rules, the elections which may be available to it, and how the PFIC rules may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the ownership and disposition of our Common Shares.

Failure to develop our internal controls over financial reporting as we grow could have an adverse effect on our operations.

As our Company matures we will need to continue to develop and improve our current internal control systems and procedures to manage our growth. We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish appropriate controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely affect our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of our public accounting firm’s attestation to or report on management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse effect on the price of our Common Shares.
29


Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our future viability is largely dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital to finance our operations. Our management expects that future sources of funding may include sales of equity, obtaining loans, or other strategic transactions. Although our management continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that we will be successful with this offering or in obtaining sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us to continue to finance our operations, if at all. These circumstances raise substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern, and our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
 
Risks Related to Our Common Shares and this Offering

Investing in an emerging market poses a greater degree of risk than investing in more mature market economies.

Emerging market investment generally poses a greater degree of risk than investment in more mature market economies because the economies in the developing world are more susceptible to destabilization resulting from domestic and international developments. All of our operations are in Colombia. See “Risks Related to Operations in Colombia.”

We will need, but may be unable to, obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms, which could dilute our shareholders or impose burdensome financial restrictions on our business.

In the future, we hope to rely on revenues generated from operations to fund all of the cash requirements of our activities. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate any significant cash from our operating activities in the future. Future financings may not be available on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to the Common Shares will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations because we could lose our existing sources of funding and impair our ability to secure new sources of funding. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate any investor interest in our securities. If we do not obtain additional financing, our business may never commence, in which case you would likely lose the entirety of your investment in the Company.

Even if this offering is successful, we will need to raise additional funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force us to delay, limit or terminate our product development efforts or other operations.

We expect the net proceeds from this offering to be $       before deducting offering expenses payable by us. We expect that the net proceeds from this offering will be sufficient to fund our current operations for at least through 2021. However, our operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to us, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned, through public or private equity or debt financings, government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances or a combination of these approaches. Raising funds in the current economic environment may present additional challenges. It is not certain that we have accounted for all costs and expenses of future development and regulatory compliance. Even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans, we may seek additional capital if market conditions are favorable or if we have specific strategic considerations.

30

Any additional fundraising efforts may divert our management from their day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our ability to develop and commercialize our products. In addition, we cannot guarantee that future financing will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Moreover, the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our shareholders and the issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt, by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our shares to decline. The sale of additional equity or convertible securities may dilute our existing shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed payment obligations and we may be required to agree to certain restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, limitations on our ability to acquire, sell or license intellectual property rights and other operating restrictions that could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. We could also be required to seek funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or otherwise at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable and we may be required to relinquish rights to some of our technologies or product candidates or otherwise agree to terms unfavorable to us, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and prospects.

If we are unable to obtain funding on a timely basis, we may be required to significantly curtail, delay or discontinue one or more of our research or development programs or the commercialization of any product, or be unable to expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities, as desired, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If you purchase our Common Shares in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your Common Shares.

You will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the Common Shares you purchase in this offering. Assuming an offering price of $     per Common Share, and assuming all        Common Shares are sold (after deducting estimated offering expenses), purchasers of Common Shares in this offering will experience dilution of approximately $       per Common Share in net tangible book value of the Common Shares.

Holders of our Common Shares are subject to dilution resulting from the issuance of equity-based compensation by us.

We have awarded warrants to management to incentivize their performance and retention.  Any additional equity grants and any exercise of existing warrants will cause our shareholders to be diluted and may negatively affect the price of the Common Shares.

We are in the process of applying to list our Common Shares for trading on a securities exchange, which would increase our regulatory burden.

We are in the process of applying to list our Common Shares and have reserved the symbol “FLGC” for purposes of listing our Common Shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “FLGC.” Although to date we have not been subject to the continuous and timely disclosure requirements of exchange rules, regulations and policies of NASDAQ, we are working with our legal, accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial management control systems to manage our obligations as a public company listed on NASDAQ. These areas include corporate governance, corporate controls, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and other areas, including our internal controls over financial reporting. However, we cannot assure holders of our shares that these and other measures that we might take will be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our obligations as a public company listed on NASDAQ on a timely basis and that we will be able to maintain listing requirements. In addition, compliance with reporting and other requirements applicable to public companies listed on NASDAQ will create additional costs for us and will require the time and attention of management. We cannot predict the amount of the additional costs that we might incur, the timing of such costs or the effects that management’s attention to these matters will have on our business.
31


We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

Historically, we have operated as a private company. As a public company, particularly after we are no longer an emerging growth company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and rules implemented by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and NASDAQ, impose various requirements on public companies, including requirements to file annual, quarterly and event-driven reports with respect to our business and financial condition and operations and establish and maintain effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel have limited experience operating a public company, which may result in operational inefficiencies or errors, or a failure to improve or maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, or ICFR, and disclosure controls and procedures, or DCP, necessary to ensure timely and accurate reporting of operational and financial results. Our existing management team will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives, and we may need to hire additional personnel to assist us with complying with these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time consuming and costly.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404, we will be required to furnish a report by our management on our ICFR, which, after we are no longer an emerging growth company, must be accompanied by an attestation report on ICFR issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. To achieve compliance with Section 404 within the prescribed period, we will document and evaluate our ICFR, which is both costly and challenging. In this regard, we will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside consultants and adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of our ICFR, continue steps to improve control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for ICFR. Despite our efforts, there is a risk that neither we nor our independent registered public accounting firm will be able to conclude within the prescribed timeframe that our ICFR is effective as required by Section 404. This could result in a determination that there are one or more material weaknesses in our ICFR, which could cause an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements.

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some public company required activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and divert management’s time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

We also expect that being a public company and complying with applicable rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to incur substantially higher costs to obtain and maintain the same or similar coverage that is currently in place. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and members of our Board.

If we fail to meet applicable listing requirements, NASDAQ may delist our Common Shares from trading, in which case the liquidity and market price of our Common Shares could decline.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the continued listing standards of NASDAQ in the future.  If we fail to comply with the applicable listing standards and NASDAQ delists our Common Shares, we and our shareholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

32


a limited availability of market quotations for our Common Shares;

reduced liquidity for our Common Shares;

a determination that our Common Shares are “penny stock”, which would require brokers trading in our Common Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Common Shares;

a limited amount of news about us and analysist coverage of us; and

a decreased ability for us to issue additional equity securities or obtain additional equity or debt financing in the future.

Ownership of our Common Shares may be considered unlawful in some jurisdictions and holders of our Common Shares may consequently be subject to liability in such jurisdictions.

Cannabis-related financial transactions, including investment in the securities of cannabis companies and receipt of any associated benefits, such as dividends, are currently subject to anti-money laundering and a variety of other laws that vary by jurisdiction, many of which are unsettled and still developing. While the interpretation of these laws is unclear, in some jurisdictions, financial benefit directly or indirectly arising from conduct that would be considered unlawful in such jurisdiction may be viewed to be within the purview of these laws, and persons receiving any such benefit, including investors in an applicable jurisdiction, may be subject to liability under such laws. Each prospective investor should therefore contact his, her or its own legal advisor regarding the ownership of our Common Shares and any related potential liability.


33

Our executive officers and directors and their respective affiliates may continue to exercise significant control over our Company after this offering, which will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could delay or prevent a change in corporate control.

Our executive officers and directors currently represent beneficial ownership, in the aggregate, of approximately 19.31% of our outstanding Common Shares. Immediately following the completion of this offering, and disregarding any Common Shares that they purchase in this offering, if any, the existing holdings of our executive officers and directors and their affiliates will represent beneficial ownership, in the aggregate, of approximately   % of our outstanding Common Shares.  As a result, these shareholders may be able to influence our management and affairs and control the outcome of matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including the election of directors and any sale, merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. These shareholders may have interests, with respect to their Common Shares, that are different from those of investors in this offering, and the concentration of voting power among one or more of these shareholders may have an adverse effect on the price of our Common Shares. In addition, this concentration of ownership might adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares by:

 delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the Company;
 impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving the Company; or
 discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.

The Company’s directors and officers may have a conflicts of interest in conducting their duties.
 
We may be subject to various potential conflicts of interest because of the fact that some of our officers and directors may be engaged in a range of business activities. In addition, our executive officers and directors may devote time to their outside business interests, so long as such activities do not materially or adversely interfere with their duties to the Company. In some cases, our executive officers and directors may have fiduciary obligations associated with these business interests that interfere with their ability to devote time to our business and affairs and that could adversely affect our operations. These business interests could require significant time and attention of our executive officers and directors.

We have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds of this offering and may not use these proceeds effectively, which could affect our results of operations and cause the price of our Common Shares to decline.

We will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this offering. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for operating capacity, working capital and general corporate purposes. As a result, investors will be relying upon management’s judgment with only limited information about our specific intentions for the use of the balance of the net proceeds of this offering. We may use the net proceeds for purposes that do not yield a significant return or any return at all for our shareholders. In addition, pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

We are a foreign private issuer and intend to take advantage of less frequent and detailed reporting obligations.

We are a “foreign private issuer”, as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and are not subject to the same requirements that are imposed upon U.S. domestic issuers by the SEC. Under the Exchange Act, we will be subject to reporting obligations that, in certain respects, are less detailed and less frequent than those of U.S. domestic reporting companies. As a result, we will not file the same reports that a U.S. domestic issuer would file with the SEC, although we will be required to file or furnish to the SEC the continuous disclosure documents that we are required to file in Canada under Canadian securities laws. In addition, our officers, directors, and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Therefore, our shareholders may not know on as timely a basis when our officers, directors and principal shareholders purchase or sell shares, as the reporting deadlines under the corresponding Canadian insider reporting requirements are longer.

As a foreign private issuer, we will be exempt from the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements. We will also be exempt from Regulation FD, which prohibits issuers from making selective disclosures of material non-public information. While we will comply with the corresponding requirements relating to proxy statements and disclosure of material non-public information under Canadian securities laws, these requirements differ from those under the Exchange Act and Regulation FD and shareholders should not expect to receive the same information at the same time as such information is provided by U.S. domestic companies. In addition, we will have more time than U.S. domestic companies after the end of each fiscal year to file our annual report with the SEC and will not be required under the Exchange Act to file quarterly reports with the SEC.
34


In addition, as a foreign private issuer, we have the option to follow certain Canadian corporate governance practices, except to the extent that such laws would be contrary to U.S. securities laws, and provided that we disclose the requirements we are not following and describe the Canadian practices we follow instead. We may in the future elect to follow home country practices in Canada with regard to certain corporate governance matters.

As a result, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of U.S. domestic companies that are subject to all corporate governance requirements.

We may lose our status as a foreign private issuer in the United States, which would result in increased costs related to regulatory compliance under United States securities laws.

The Company will cease to qualify as a “foreign private issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act and Rule 3b-4 under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), if, as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, more than 50 percent of our outstanding Common Shares are directly or indirectly owned by residents of the United States and any of the following three circumstances applies: (i) the majority of our executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents; (ii)more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States; or (iii) our business is administered principally in the United States. If we determine that we fail to qualify as a foreign private issuer, the Company will cease to be eligible to avail itself of the forms and rules designated for foreign private issuers beginning on the first day of the fiscal year following such determination. Among other things, this will result in loss of the exemption from registration under the Exchange Act provided by Rule 12g3-2(b) thereunder, and, if the Company is required to register our Common Shares under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, we will have to do so as a domestic issuer.  Further, any securities that we issue in unregistered or unqualified offerings both within and outside the United States will be “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act) and will continue to be subject to United States resale restrictions notwithstanding their resale in “offshore transactions” pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.  As a practical matter, this will likely require us to register more offerings of our securities under the Securities Act on either a primary offering or resale basis, even if they take place entirely outside the United States.  The resulting legal and administrative costs of complying with the resulting regulatory requirements are anticipated to be substantial, and to subject the Company to additional exposure to liability for which we may not be able to obtain insurance coverage on favorable terms or at all. 

If our share price fluctuates after the offering, you could lose a significant part of your investment.

The market price of our Common Shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other things, the risk factors described in this section of this prospectus, and other factors beyond our control, such as fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us. Furthermore, the stock markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may negatively affect the market price of our Common Shares. In the past, many companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.

The public offering price of our Common Shares has been determined by negotiations between us and the underwriters based upon many factors and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail following the closing of this offering. Volatility in the market price of our Common Shares may prevent investors from being able to sell their shares at or above the initial public offering price. As a result, you may suffer a loss on your investment.

35

The regulated nature of our business may impede or discourage a takeover, which could reduce the market price of our Common Shares.

We require and hold various government licenses to operate our business. These licensing requirements could impede a merger, amalgamation, takeover or other business combination involving us or discourage a potential acquiror from making a tender offer for our Common Shares, which, under certain circumstances, could reduce the market price of our Common Shares.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our Common Shares in the near future, and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our Common Shares.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our Common Shares and do not currently intend to do so in the foreseeable future. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the success of an investment in the Common Shares will depend upon any future appreciation in their value. There is no guarantee that the Common Shares will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which you purchased them.

Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our Common Shares upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred stock, which could rank senior to our Common Shares for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in our Common Shares.

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by offering debt securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings we may make, would receive distributions of our available assets prior to any distributions being made to holders of our Common Shares. Moreover, if we issue preferred stock, the holders of such preferred stock could be entitled to preferences over holders of Common Shares in respect of the payment of dividends and the payment of liquidating distributions. Because our decision to issue debt or preferred stock in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will depend in part on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of our Common Shares must bear the risk that any future offerings we conduct or borrowings we make may adversely affect the level of return, if any, they may be able to achieve from an investment in our Common Shares.

General Risk Factors

The Company may become involved in legal proceedings from time to time, which could adversely affect the Company.

From time to time, we may be a party to legal and regulatory proceedings, including matters involving governmental agencies, entities with whom it does business and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We will evaluate our exposure to these legal and regulatory proceedings and establish reserves for the estimated liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Assessing and predicting the outcome of these matters involves substantial uncertainties. Unexpected outcomes in these legal proceedings, or changes in management’s evaluations or predictions and accompanying changes in established reserves, could have an adverse impact on our financial results.
Our participation in the cannabis industry may lead to litigation, formal or informal complaints, enforcement actions, and inquiries by third parties, other companies and/or various governmental authorities against us. Litigation, complaints, and enforcement actions involving us could consume considerable amounts of financial and other corporate resources, which could have an adverse effect on our future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company’s success will depend, in part, on its ability to continue to enhance its product and service offerings to respond to technological and regulatory changes and emerging industry standards and practices.

Rapidly changing markets, technology, emerging industry and regulatory standards and frequent introduction of new products characterize the Company’s business. The introduction of new products embodying new technologies and regulatory developments may render the Company’s equipment obsolete and its products and services less competitive or less marketable. The process of developing the Company’s products and services is complex and requires significant continuing costs, development efforts, third-party commitments and regulatory approvals. The Company may not be successful in developing or effectively commercializing such new products and services, or obtaining any required regulatory approvals, which, together with any capital expenditures made in the course of developing such products and services, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

We are dependent upon our management and key employees, and the loss of any member of our management team or key employees could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

The Company’s success is dependent upon the ability, expertise, judgment, discretion and good faith of its senior management and key employees. The loss of any member of our management team or key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. While employment agreements and incentive programs are customarily used as primary methods of retaining the services of key employees, these agreements and incentive programs cannot assure the continued services of such employees. Any loss of the services of such individuals, or an inability to attract other suitably qualified persons when needed, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition. We do not currently maintain key-person insurance on the lives of any of our key employees. Competition for qualified technical, sales and marketing staff, as well as officers and directors can be intense, and no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to attract or retain key employees in the future, which may adversely affect the Company’s operations.

Our inability to retain and acquire skilled personnel could impair our business and operations.

The loss of any member of our management team could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, the inability to hire or the increased costs of hiring new personnel, including members of executive management, could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. The expansion of marketing and sales of our products will require us to find, hire and retain additional capable employees who can understand, explain, market and sell our products. There is intense competition for capable personnel in all of these areas and we may not be successful in attracting, training, integrating, motivating, or retaining new personnel, vendors, or subcontractors for these required functions. New employees often require significant training and, in many cases, take a significant amount of time before they achieve full productivity. As a result, we may incur significant costs to attract and retain employees, including significant expenditures related to salaries and benefits and compensation expenses issued in connection to equity awards, and we may lose new employees to our competitors or other companies before we realize the benefit of our investment in recruiting and training them. In addition, as we move into new jurisdictions, we will need to attract and recruit skilled employees in those new areas.

We will need to grow the size of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing any growth we may achieve.

As our development and commercialization plans and strategies develop, we expect to need additional research, development, managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, accounting, legal and other resources. Future growth would impose significant added responsibilities on members of management. In order to manage growth and changes in strategy effectively, the Company must: (a) maintain adequate systems to meet customer demand; (b) expand sales and marketing, distribution capabilities, and administrative functions; (c) expand the skills and capabilities of its current management team; and (d) attract and retain qualified employees. Our management may not be able to accommodate those added responsibilities, and our failure to do so could prevent us from effectively managing future growth and successfully growing our Company.



There is no existing market for our Common Shares, and you cannot be certain that an active trading market or a specific share price will be established.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for shares of our Common Shares. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our Company will lead to the development of a trading market or how liquid that market might become. The offering price for the Common Shares has been arbitrarily determined by the Company and may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in any trading market following this offering, if any. The market price for our Common Shares may decline below the offering price, and our share price is likely to be volatile.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about us, our share price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Common Shares will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our operations.  We do not have any control over these analysts and their research and reports. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on our business.  If no security or industry analysts commence coverage of our Company, the trading price for our Common Shares would likely be negatively affected. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our shares or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our share price would likely decline.  In addition, if our operating results fail to meet the forecast of analysts, our share price would likely decline.  If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our shares could decrease, which might cause our share price and trading volume to decline.

After the completion of this offering, we may be at an increased risk of securities class action litigation.

Historically, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities. If we are listed on an exchange or quoted over-the-counter and our share price decreases and we were to be sued, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business.



We expect to incur significant ongoing costs and obligations related to our investment in infrastructure, growth, regulatory compliance and operations.

We expect to incur significant ongoing costs and obligations related to our investment in infrastructure and growth and regulatory compliance, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, future changes in regulations, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to our operations, increased compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our efforts to grow our business may be costlier than we expect, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to offset such higher operating expenses. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays, and other unknown events.

There is no assurance that the Company’s insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover all claims to which the Company may become subject.

Our production is, in general, subject to different risks and hazards, including adverse weather conditions, fires, plant diseases and pest infestations, other natural phenomena, industrial accidents, labor disputes, changes in the legal and regulatory framework applicable to us and environmental contingencies.

We are in the process of obtaining insurance coverage over our production and facilities. We may not be able to maintain or obtain insurance of the type and amount desired at a reasonable cost. If we were to incur significant liability for which we were not fully insured, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We do not currently maintain key-person insurance on the lives of any of our key employees.

We may be unable to implement our business strategy, which could have negative financial and reputational effects on our business.

The growth and expansion of our business is heavily dependent upon the successful implementation of our business strategy as described under the heading “Our Business.” There can be no assurance that we will be successful in the implementation of our business strategy. A failure to do so could have negative financial and reputational effects on us. Future clinical research studies may lead to conclusions that dispute or conflict with our understanding and belief regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social acceptance of cannabis.

The Company could be subject to a security breach that could result in significant damage or theft of products and equipment.

Breaches of security at our facilities may occur and could result in damage to or theft of products and equipment. A security breach at our facilities could result in a significant loss of inventory or work in process, expose us to liability under applicable regulations and increase expenses relating to the investigation of the breach and implementation of additional preventative security measures, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Various statements contained in this prospectus, including those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, financial condition, business strategies and plans, market opportunity, competitive position, industry environment, and potential growth opportunities.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “believe”, “expect”, “could”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “continue”, “predict”, “project”, “potential”, “target,” “goal” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes.  You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.  We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events.  While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, they are inherently subject to significant business, competitive, economic, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.  These and other important factors, including, among others, those discussed in this prospectus under the headings “Risk Factors”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Our Business”, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this prospectus.  Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this prospectus include:
 Our limited operating history and net losses;
 unpredictable events, such as the COVID-19 outbreak, and associated business disruptions;
 changes in cannabis laws, regulations and guidelines;
 decrease in demand for cannabis and derivative products due to certain research findings,
proceedings, or negative media attention;
 damage to our reputation as a result of negative publicity;
 exposure to product liability claims, actions and litigation;
 risks associated with product recalls;
 product viability;
 continuing research and development efforts to respond to technological and regulatory changes;
 shelf life of inventory;
 maintenance of effective quality control systems;
 changes to energy prices and supply;
 risks associated with expansion into new jurisdictions;
 regulatory compliance risks;
 opposition to the cannabinoid industry;
 risks related to our operations in Colombia; and
 potential delisting resulting in reduced liquidity of our Common Shares.

Given the foregoing risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements in this prospectus.  The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results of operations and financial condition may differ materially from such forward-looking statements.  In addition, even if our results of operations and financial condition are consistent with the forward-looking statements in this prospectus, they may not be predictive of results or developments in future periods.
Any forward-looking statement that we make in this prospectus speaks only as of the date of this prospectus.  Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise, or to publicly announce any update or revision to, any of the forward-looking statements in this prospectus, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that we will receive approximately $  million in net proceeds from the sale of           Common Shares offered by us in this offering (or approximately $      million if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase up to     additional Common Shares from us), based on an assumed public offering price of $     per Common Share, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of approximately $     million payable by us.
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for capital expenditures operating capacity, working capital and general corporate purposes. Specifically, we intend to use $     of the net proceeds of this offering for capital expenditures, $         for operating capacity, $        for working capital, and any remaining amounts for general corporate purposes.  Our net proceeds will be utilized for certain capital expenditures and operating expenditures across all of our divisions. Without limitation, our net proceeds are anticipated to be used immediately for construction of the Research Technology and Processing Center, and the customization of the Quipropharma laboratory. The Research Technology and Processing Center expenditures will include: a master plan development fee, construction of facility, purchase of equipment, import fees and logistics. The Quipropharma custom lab expenditures will include:  architectural floorprints, construction of facility, purchase of equipment, import fees and logistics
Our management will have discretion in allocating the net proceeds in accordance with the above priorities and purposes.  The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including the progress of our expansion and development efforts, whether or not we enter into strategic transactions, our general operating costs and expenditures, and the changing needs of our businesses.

Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $   per Common Share would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $    million, assuming the number of Common Shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions payable by us.  We may also increase or decrease the number of Common Shares we are selling in this offering.  An increase (decrease) of 1,000,000 in the number of Common Shares offered by us in this offering, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $   million, assuming the assumed initial public offering price of $     per Common Share remains the same, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions payable by us.
We believe that our funds and the net proceeds from this offering will be sufficient to continue our businesses and operations as currently conducted through 2022; however, changing circumstances may cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate.
41

DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never paid dividends on our Common Shares. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to support operations and to finance the growth and development of our business. As such, we do not intend to declare or pay cash dividends on our Common Shares in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors subject to applicable laws and will depend upon, among other factors, our earnings, operating results, financial condition and current and anticipated cash needs. Our future ability to pay cash dividends on our Common Shares may be limited by the terms of any then-outstanding debt or preferred securities.

DILUTION
Purchasers of the Common Shares in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per Common Share paid by the purchasers of the Common Shares in this offering and the pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book value per Common Share immediately after, and giving effect to, this offering.  Dilution results from the fact that the initial public offering price per Common Share in this offering is substantially in excess of the net tangible book value per Common Share attributable to our existing shareholders for our presently outstanding Common Shares.
Our historical net tangible book value per Common Share is determined by dividing our net tangible book value, which is the book value of our total tangible assets less the book value of our total liabilities, by the number of outstanding Common Shares.  As of June 30, 2020, the historical net tangible book value of our Common Shares was $      , or $         per Common Share.
After giving effect to the (i) issuances of an aggregate of      Common Shares after June 30, 2020 in connection with the exercise of outstanding stock options, (ii) issuances of an aggregate of          Common Shares after June 30, 2020 in connection with the exercise of all outstanding warrants, (iii) sale by us of         Common Shares in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $      per Common Share, and (iv) receipt by us of the net proceeds of this offering, after deduction of the underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2020 would have been $    , or $     per Common Share.  The pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book value per Common Shares immediately after the offering is calculated by dividing the pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book value of $    by       Common Shares (which is the pro forma, as adjusted Common Shares outstanding as June 30, 2020).  The difference between the initial public offering price per Common Share and the pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book value per Common Share represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $    per Common Share to our existing shareholders, and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $      per Common Share to purchasers of Common Shares in this offering.
The following table illustrates this dilution to purchasers in this offering on a per Common Share basis (in [thousands/millions]):
Assumed initial public offering price per Common Share
 
$
   
Net tangible book value per Common Share before this offering (as of June 30, 2020)

$
   
Dilution in pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book value per Common Share to purchasers in this offering
 
$
   
Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $     per Common Share would increase (decrease) the pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book value per Common Share immediately after this offering by $      , and the dilution in pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book value per Common Share to purchasers in this offering by $         , assuming the number of Common Shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions payable by us.
44

We may also increase or decrease the number of Common Shares we are selling in this offering.  An increase (decrease) of 1,000,000 in the number of Common Shares offered by us in this offering, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book value per Common Share immediately after this offering by $      , and the dilution in pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book value per Common Share to purchasers in this offering by $        , assuming the assumed initial public offering price of $         per Common Share remains the same, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions payable by us.
The table and information above assume no exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional Common Shares in this offering.  If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase up to         additional Common Shares from us, the pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book value per Common Share immediately after this offering would be $      per Common Share, and the dilution in pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book value per Common Share to purchasers in this offering would be $          per Common Share, in each case assuming an assumed initial public offering price of $       per Common Share, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
The following table summarizes, as of June 30, 2020, adjusted pro forma basis described above, the number of shares of our Common Shares, the total consideration and the average price per share (i) paid to us by existing shareholders and (ii) to be paid by new investors purchasing Common Shares in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $       per Common Share, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $     per Common Share would increase (decrease) the total consideration paid by purchasers in this offering and the weighted average price per share paid by all shareholders by $        and $        per share, respectively, and in the case of an increase, would increase the percentage of total consideration paid by purchasers in this offering by     %, and in the case of a decrease, would decrease the percentage of total consideration paid by purchasers in this offering by      %s, assuming the number of Common Shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions payable by us.
Similarly, an increase (decrease) of 1,000,000 in the number of Common Shares offered by us in this offering, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the total consideration paid by purchasers in this offering and the weighted average price per share paid by all shareholders by $       and $       per share, respectively, and in the case of an increase, would increase the percentage of total consideration paid by purchasers in this offering by       %, and in the case of a decrease, would decrease the percentage of total consideration paid by purchasers in this offering by    %, assuming the assumed initial public offering price of $      per Common Share remains the same, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions payable by us.
The table and information above assume no exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional Common Shares in this offering.  If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase up to       additional Common Shares from us, the number of Common Shares underlying the Common Shares held by purchasers in this offering would be increased to       Common Shares, or       % of the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after this offering, and the percentage of Common Shares held by our existing shareholders would be reduced to      % of the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after this offering.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the sections of this prospectus entitled “Selected Consolidated Financial Information and Operating Data” and “Business”, and our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, included elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current plans, expectations, estimates and beliefs.  Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
We cultivate and process natural, medicinal-grade cannabis oil and high quality cannabis derived medical and wellbeing products and supply these premium products to large channel distributors, including pharmacies, medical clinics, and cosmetic companies.   We are an early-stage private company headquartered in Canada.  Our agricultural and processing operations are in Colombia.  We just began to generate revenues in August 2020 through our Flora Beauty LLC subsidiary, in October 2020 through our Hemp Textiles subsidiaries, and in December 2020 following acquisitions of our Cronomed, Breeze, and Kasa subsidiaries.  Our acquisitions have generated revenues as stand-alone entities:  Cronomed since March 2005; Breeze since January 2013; and Kasa since July 2013.

We have not yet harvested a commercial cannabis crop or produced oil extracts and will require adequate proceeds generated from this offering to do so. We will not have sufficient infrastructure as a grower or have the ability to extract CBD oil in any material amounts until our Research Technology and Processing Centre has been constructed and becomes operational. The production facility is intended to plant, grow and harvest our products on a commercial scale, to produce oil extracts, to access needed facilities and labor and to achieve large channel distribution of our products.

Effective October 15, 2019, we acquired 90% of our Colombian subsidiary, Cosechemos, which is licensed in Colombia to cultivate, produce and distribute CBD medical cannabis for use in Colombia and for  international export.  We have one property under lease, the Cosechemos Farm, in Giron, Santander, Colombia, which is a 361-hectare property.  We also have the option to lease the Palagu Farms, in Puerto Boyaca, Colombia. Our main Colombian operations are currently in Giron, Colombia.  Our Palagua Farms comprise two contiguous farms for a total of 2,132 hectares.

We are currently in discussions with distributors for the distribution of our products from Cosechemos.  Such discussions are preliminary in nature as we focus on building a commercial cultivation at the Cosehemos farm.  We will require adequate funding from this offering and the Regulation A Offering (defined below) to fulfill these business objectives and enter into definitive agreements with distributors.

On July 16, 2019, we signed a share purchase agreement with Guillermo Andres Ramirez Martinez, Guillermo Ramirez Cabrales and Oscar Mauricio Franco Ulloa, who we refer to as the Cosechemos Vendors, to purchase 90% of Cosechemos. Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, we acquired 4,500 shares of Cosechemos. As consideration for the Cosechemos shares, we paid $80,000 to the Cosechemos Vendors, and granted the Cosechemos Vendors a 10% non-dilutive, free carried interest in Cosechemos, which we refer to as the Free Carry. The Free Carry will terminate upon our investing an aggregate of $25,000,000 in Cosechemos. 

On October 2, 2019, we signed a shareholders’ agreement with the Cosechemos Vendors and Cosechemos, the legal and beneficial owner of 100% interest of non-psychoactive cannabis license in Colombia.  Pursuant to our shareholders agreement with the Cosechemos Vendors and Cosechemos, we are required to fund the operations of Cosechemos and the Cosechemos Vendors’ equity interest in Cosechemos cannot be diluted by such funding during the time that the Free Carry is in effect. Upon the termination of the Free Carry, the Cosechemos Vendors will be required, if needed by Cosechemos, to fund the operations of Cosechemos on a pro rata basis or risk having their equity interest in Cosechemos be diluted. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we are required to pay the Cosechemos Vendors, as a one-time payment, $750,000 within 60 days of Cosechemos earning a net income of $10,000,000.

Pursuant to a lease agreement, dated May 2, 2018, between C.I. Gramaluz S.C.A. and Cosechemos, Cosechemos has leased the Cosechemos farm, which is a 361 hectare property in Giron, Santander, Colombia. Effective September 1, 2019, Cosechemos shall pay a monthly fee of approximately $2,900 (COP10,000,000). On March 1, 2020, the monthly fee was increased to approximately $5,800 (COP20,000,000). Cosechemos has a right to purchase the Cosechemos Farm at a price to be determined by an arm’s length third party appraiser from the real estate association of Bogota, Colombia.

Pursuant to an option to lease agreement, dated December 27, 2018, between Waldshut C.V. and Cosechemos, Cosechemos has the option to lease the Palagua Farm I.  Pursuant to an option to lease agreement dated, December 27, 2018, between Vicalvaro C.V. and Cosechemos, Cosechemos has the option to lease the Palagua Farm II. The Palagua Farm I is a 700 hectare property in Palagua, Boyaca, Colombia. The Palagua Farm II is a 1,432 hectare property in Palagua, Boyaca, Colombia. The Palagua Farm I and Palagua Farm II, which, together, we refer to as the Palagua Farms, are contiguous to each other. The Palagua Farms are approximately 300 kilometers from the Cosechemos Farm.  Pursuant to the option to lease agreements for the Palagua Farms, Cosechemos will pay approximately $28.13 (COP$95,879) per month for each hectare of the Palagua Farms being used to cultivate cannabis by Cosechemos.

On December 29, 2020, we acquired 90% of Kasa Wholefoods Company SAS Colombia (“Kasa”), pursuant to a share purchase agreement (the “Kasa Purchase Agreement”) with Santiago Mora Bahamon, Laura Londono Tapia, Pablo Silva and Stefan Lauer, who we refer to as the Kasa Vendors.  Pursuant to Kasa Purchase Agreement, we acquired 18,000 shares of Kasa (the “Kasa Shares”).  As consideration for the Kasa Shares, we paid $148,300 to the Kasa Vendors in the percentages set forth in the Kasa Purchase Agreement and discharged the liabilities of the Kasa Vendors in the amount of $87,300, for aggregate consideration of $235,600.

Pursuant to the Breeze Purchase Agreement, in the event that we elect to merge Breeze and Cronomed, we are required to issue that number of shares of the combined entity to the Breeze Vendors such that collectively the Breeze Vendors would own a 5% equity interest in the combined entity.  In the event that we elect not to merge Breeze and Cronomed and instead sell such shares to an arm’s length third party, at the Breeze Vendors’ sole option, we have agreed to (a) pay to the Breeze Vendors COP$700 million (approximately USD$199,829); (b) pay to the Breeze Vendors 5% of the proceeds from the sale of such shares to the third party; or (c) transfer 10% of such shares to the Breeze Vendors with 8 business days’ notice of any such decision.

Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”)

The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease and other unforeseen events, including the recent outbreak a of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19 and the related economic repercussions. The Company cannot accurately predict the effects COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations.

Agricultural activity has been declared as an essential activity in Colombia.  Cosechemos is operating under a protocol authorized by the Colombian government.

At the farm in Santander, all employees receive a new mask and a new set of surgical gloves daily. Hand sanitizer is provided and hand washing protocols are in place. The employees are also provided a transparent face protection mask, which is replaced every 30 days.  All employees have their temperature taken three times daily and must report to the Health and Safety office if they are experiencing any symptoms, including diarrhea, cough, runny nose, or headache.  If an employee reports any of these symptoms, the employee is sent home to isolate for 14 days, if the symptoms persist for 72 hours, the employee is required to go to a hospital.  

The farm is located in a rural area, and there have been no positive cases of COVID-19 reported to date.  The province in which the farm is located has reported 475 cases across a population of 2,340,765 to date.

Our staff from the Bogotá office have been working from home since March 25, 2020, and staff from the Toronto office have also been working from home since March 17, 2020.

To date, there have been 5 reported cases of COVID-19 amongst our staff, with all 5 being completely recovered.

As at June 30, 2020, we had working capital of $7,304,183.  Our primary cash flow needs are for the development of our cannabis activities, administrative expenses and for general working capital.

Cosechemos had no cash at June 30, 2019. To date, Cosechemos has not generated any cash from operations. Nominal amounts paid for taxes by Cosechemos were funded by a director’s loan from Oscar Franco. Cosechemos is owed $1,575 from the directors Guillermo Andres Ramirez Martinez, Guillermo Ramirez Cabrales and Oscar Mauricio Franco Ulloa for payment of their share capital. This is expected to be paid in the near term.

At present, we have not had any production and consequently no revenue generating assets or operations. Our continued existence is dependent on our ability to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of our cannabis operations and/or other potential projects and attain future profitable production. At present, we have no established sources of income and the success of our growth and development programs will be contingent upon our ability to raise sufficient equity financing on favorable terms. We do not expect to generate any internal cash flows to finance the development costs in the foreseeable future.

Regulation A Offering

We raised $29,997,195 under an offering of units under Tier 2 of Regulation A under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that closed upon the sale of the maximum units in December 2020 (the “Regulation A Offering”).  Each Unit is comprised of one Common Share and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant to purchase one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $1.00 per whole warrant share, subject to certain adjustments, over an 18-month exercise period following the date of issuance of the warrant. The Units were offered at a purchase price of $0.75 per Unit.

On February 12, 2020, we made a loan of $1,000,000 to Newdene Gold Inc., or Newdene.  The loan accrues interest with an annual interest rate of 6% and is payable six months following the closing date of February 12, 2020.  The loan is secured by a securities pledge agreement in favor of our Company creating a security interest of 2,000,000 Common Shares.  As at June 30, 2020, we had a loan receivable of $1,022,849 (December 31, 2019 - Nil) of which $1,000,000 (December 31, 2019 - Nil) is principal and $22,849 (December 31, 2019 - Nil) is interest.  Subsequent to the period end, the loan was extended for another six months on the same terms. The loan has since been repaid.

The loan has since been repaid.

We do not pay dividends and, other than the debt discussed above, had no long-term debt or bank facilities, other than our lease liability.

Plan of Operations

As noted above, the continuation of our current plan of operations requires us to raise significant additional capital. If we are successful in raising capital through the sale of Common Shares offered for sale in this offering, we believe that we will have sufficient cash resources to fund our plan of operations through 2022. If we are unable to do so, we may have to curtail and possibly cease some operations. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering for operating capacity, working capital and general corporate purposes.

During 2019 and 2020, we operated a 2-hectare Pilot Program at the Cosechemos Farm.  Pursuant to the Pilot Program, we have constructed one nursery and propagation center (an aggregate of 1,000 square meters) at the Cosechemos Farm where we planted 7,800 seedlings of non-psychoactive cannabis.  We harvested and processed the non-psychoactive cannabis from the Pilot Program resulting in a defined budget for dry flower productivity per plant and stabilization of certain genetic strains for our planned commercial cannabis production.  The Pilot Program assisted management in establishing what management believes is a viable agronomic management plan for cultivation in the Colombian geographic, organic and outdoor conditions. 

We continually evaluate our plan of operations to determine the manner in which we can most effectively utilize our limited cash resources. The timing of completion of any aspect of our plan of operations is highly dependent upon the availability of cash to implement that aspect of the plan and other factors beyond our control. There is no assurance that we will successfully obtain the required capital or revenues, or, if obtained, that the amounts will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).  The preparation of interim financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying our accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting pronouncements adopted

We adopted the following amendments, effective January 1, 2018.

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IFRS 9”) introduces new requirements for the classification, measurement and impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. It establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets: (i) amortized cost and (ii) fair value either through profit or loss (“FVPL”) or through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”); establishes criteria for the classification of financial assets within each measurement category based on business model and cash flow characteristics; and eliminates the existing held for trading, held to maturity, available for sale, loans and receivable and other financial liabilities categories. IFRS 9 also introduces a new expected credit loss model for the purpose of assessing the impairment of financial assets and requires that there be a demonstrated economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument.

The following table shows the previous classification under IAS 39 and the new classification under IFRS 9 for the Company’s financial instruments:

Financial instrument classification
 
Under IAS 39
Under IFRS 9
Financial assets
 
 
Cash
Loans and receivables
Amortized cost
Amounts receivable
Loans and receivables
Amortized cost
 
 
 
Financial liabilities
 
 
Trade payables and accrued liabilities
Other financial liabilities
Amortized cost

The Company adopted IFRS 9 effective January 1, 2018 retrospectively without restating comparatives and therefore the comparative information in respect of financial instruments for the year ended December 31, 2017 was accounted for in accordance with the Company’s previous accounting policy under IAS 39. There were no effects on opening balances at January 1, 2018  with  respect  to  the  adoption  of IFRS 9.

Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the IASB or IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 or later periods. The following have not yet been adopted and are being evaluated to determine their impact on the Company.

IFRS 3 – Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”) was amended in October 2018 to clarify the definition of a business.  This amended definition states that a business must include inputs and a process and clarified that the process must be substantive and the inputs and process must together significantly contribute to operating outputs.  In addition it narrows the definitions of a business by focusing the definition of outputs on goods and services provided to customers and other income from ordinary activities, rather than on providing dividends or other economic benefits directly to investors or lowering costs and added a test that makes it easier to conclude that a company has acquired a group of assets, rather than a business, if the value of the assets acquired is substantially all concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets.  The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020.  Earlier adoption is permitted.

For acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3, the Company follows International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 37 and IAS 38 guidelines for asset acquisition, where the consideration paid is allocated to assets acquired based on fair values on the acquisition date and transactions costs are capitalized and allocated to the assets acquired.
58


IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) and IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (“IAS 8”) were amended in October 2018 to refine the definition of materiality and clarify its characteristics.  The revised definition focuses on the idea that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.  The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020.  Earlier adoption is permitted.

Trend Information

Because we are still in the start-up phase and have only recently commenced operations, we are unable to identify any recent trends in revenue or expenses. Thus, we are unable to identify any known trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events involving our business that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our revenues, income from operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause the reported financial information in this offering to not be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

Going Concern

We are in the preliminary stages of our planned operations and have not yet determined whether our processes and business plans are economically viable. Our continued operations are dependent upon our ability to obtain sufficient financing to complete the development of our facilities and if they are proven successful, the existence of future profitable production, or alternatively, upon our ability to dispose of our assets on an advantageous basis, all of which are uncertain.

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. We will need to raise additional capital in the near term to fund its ongoing operations and business activities. There can be no assurance that other financings will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. As a result of these circumstances, there are material uncertainties that cast significant doubt as to the appropriateness of the going concern presumption.

The business of cannabis growth and development of Cannabidiol (“CBD”) oils involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current business development programs will result in profitable cannabis operations. Our continued existence is dependent upon the acquisition of assets, preservation of our interest in the underlying assets, acquisition of various licenses, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of our Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon our ability to dispose of our assets and operations on an advantageous basis.

Our financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and classifications in the statement of financial position that may be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern and these adjustments could be material.

Restatement Disclosure

In December 2020, we engaged Davidson & Company LLP, Chartered Accountants (“Davidson”) as our new PCAOB registered accounting firm to audit our financial statements. As part of a re-audit conducted by Davidson of our financial statements for the period March 13, 2019 (inception), to December 31, 2019, under PCAOB auditing standards, we have included disclosures in the audited financial statements related to changes in expenditures that were not appropriately recorded and founders' warrants that were revalued.  For our unaudited financial statements for the interim period ended June 30, 2020, we have revised the unaudited financial statements to include the above disclosures in addition to changes to foreign currency translation of intangible assets and net assets and net losses impacted by the consolidation of Flora Beauty LLC.

Our audit committee and Board have concluded that the restatements are quantitatively and qualitatively immaterial and that all previously issued financial statements may be relied upon.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have, during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Capital Expenditures

We do not have any contractual obligations for ongoing capital expenditures at this time.

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to us, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Our management, in consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, we, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in our financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. We are not aware of any matters which result in a loss contingency.

Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act.  As such, we are eligible to take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to SEC reporting companies that are not emerging growth companies.  For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we will not be required to, among other things:
present more than two years of audited financial statements and two years of related selected financial data and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations disclosure in our registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part;

have an auditor report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and

disclose certain executive compensation related items.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (iii) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act, which means the market value of our Common Shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.
In this prospectus, we have taken advantage of certain of the reduced reporting requirements as a result of being an emerging growth company and a foreign private issuer.  Accordingly, the information that we provide in this prospectus may be different than the information you may receive from other public companies in which you hold equity interests.  If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

Our Acquisitions

Cosechemos YA SAS (“Cosechemos”) became our 90%-owned subsidiary effective October 15, 2019 pursuant to a share purchase agreement (the “Cosechemos Share Purchase Agreement”) between the Company, Guillermo Andres Ramirez Martinez, Guillermo Ramirez Cabrales and Oscar Mauricio Franco Ulloa (collectively, the “Cosechemos Vendors”).  Pursuant to the Cosechemos Share Purchase Agreement, we acquired 4,500 shares of Cosechemos. As consideration for the Cosechemos shares, we (i) paid $80,000 to the Cosechemos Vendors, and (ii) granted the Cosechemos Vendors a 10% non-dilutive, free carried interest in Cosechemos (the “Free Carry”). Pursuant to the shareholders agreement between the Cosechemos Vendors and us (the “Shareholders Agreement”), we are funding the operations of Cosechemos and the Cosechemos Vendors’ equity interest in Cosechemos cannot be diluted by such funding during the time that the Free Carry is in effect. The Free Carry will automatically terminate upon such time as we invest an aggregate of $25 million into Cosechemos.  Upon the termination of the Free Carry, the Cosechemos Vendors will be required, if needed by Cosechemos, to fund the operations of Cosechemos on a pro rata basis or risk having their equity interest in Cosechemos be diluted.  Additionally, we are required to pay the Cosechemos Vendors, as a one-time payment, $750,000 within 60 days of Cosechemos earning a net income of $10 million.

Pursuant to the Breeze Purchase Agreement, in the event that we elect to merge Breeze and Cronomed, we are required to issue that number of shares of the combined entity to the Breeze Vendors such that collectively the Breeze Vendors would own a 5% equity interest in the combined entity.  In the event that we elect not to merge Breeze and Cronomed and instead sell such shares to an arm’s length third party, at the Breeze Vendors’ sole option, we have agreed to (a) pay to the Breeze Vendors COP$700 million (approximately USD$199,829); (b) pay to the Breeze Vendors 5% of the proceeds from the sale of such shares to the third party; or (c) transfer 10% of such shares to the Breeze Vendors with 8 business days’ notice of any such decision.

On December 18, 2020, we signed a share purchase agreement (the “Cronomed Purchase Agreement”) with Luis Gerardo Tovar Osorio, Lucelida Castañeda de Corredor, Inversiones Multicentro S.A.S., Adriana Elizabeth Pérez Medina, Angie Zulanny Jiménez Castellanos, Diego Fernando Ramírez Pardo, Orladis Acero de Ospina, Mary Luz Gonzales Cortés, Olga Lucia Ruge León, Pharmades S.A.S., María Yolima Pedraza Moreno, Diana Patricia Elizalde Arias, Jair Fernely Osuna López and Inversiones Montearroyo Asociados S.A.S., who we refer to as the Cronomed Vendors, to purchase 100% of Cronomed.  Pursuant to the Cronomed Purchase Agreement, we acquired 134 shares of Cronomed.

Effective January 12, 2021, we acquired Quipropharma Lab, an asset comprised of a modern Colombia-based manufacturing facility that holds GMP certifications and can produce CBD containing products, pursuant to the Quipropharma Asset Purchase Agreement.

BUSINESS
Our Mission

Our mission is defined by two guiding principles with the goal of improving the quality of life for people around the world. These principles guide our decision-making process and differentiate us from our peers (which peers are generally limited to cannabis oil production) based on our planned use of the entire cannabis plant to produce a suite of health and wellness products.

Help People Restore and Thrive.  We develop products to positively affect the health and wellness of people. From medicines to consumer products, we strive to help our customers restore and thrive.

Prioritize Value-chain Sustainability.  We care about our broader global impact, from production to consumption.  We make conscious decisions to prioritize sustainability across our value-chain.

Our Company

We cultivate and process natural, medicinal-grade cannabis oil and high quality cannabis derived medical and wellbeing products and intend to supply these premium products to large channel distributors, including pharmacies, medical clinics, and cosmetic companies. We employ a vertically integrated structure, with operations based in Colombia, and are committed to becoming a competitive producer of low-cost, natural, medicinal-grade cannabis oils and extracts.

We are an emerging growth company and just began to generate revenues in August 2020 through our Flora Beauty LLC and our Hemp Textiles subsidiaries,  and in December 2020 following acquisitions of our Cronomed, Breeze, and Kasa subsidiaries. We will require funding from this offering to begin to plant, grow and harvest our cannabis products on a commercial scale, to produce oil extracts, to access needed facilities and labor and to achieve large channel distribution of our products.

Our Brands and Products

We have developed in-house brands and have completed accretive acquisitions to capitalize on consumer and competitive trends with initial operations in Colombia and potentially in the United States.  These divisions fit within the health and wellness space, where we estimate revenue growth can be accelerated with new product offerings derived from our CBD oil.  We have not yet produced commercial grade oil extracts and will require adequate proceeds generated from this offering to do so. We will not have sufficient infrastructure as a grower or have the ability to extract CBD oil in any material amounts until our Research Technology and Processing Centre has been constructed and becomes operational.  See “Risks Related to our Business and Industry”.

Our core products are inclusive of the following:

•Medicinal-Grade Cannabis. Our revenues are expected to begin July 2021, through our 90%-owned subsidiary, Cosechemos YA SAS;

•Cannabis Oils and Extracts. Our revenues are expected to begin July 2021, through our 90%-owned subsidiary, Cosechemos YA SAS;

•Skincare and Beauty Products. Our revenues commenced in August 2020, through our 87% owned subsidiary, Flora Beauty LLC;

•Dermo-Cosmetic Products. Our revenues commenced in December 2020, following our acquisition of our  our 90%-owned subsidiary, Breeze Laboratory S.A.S.;

•Pharmaceutical Products. Our revenues commenced in December 2020, following our acquisition of  our 100%-owned subsidiary, Grupo Farmaceutico Cronomed SAS;
•Loungewear and Textiles. Our revenues commenced in October 2020 through our 100%-owned subsidiaries, Hemp Textiles & Co LLC and Hemp Textiles & Co SAS; and

•Food and Beverage Products. Our revenues commenced in December 2020, following our acquisition of our 90%-owned subsidiary Kasa Wholefoods Company SAS Colombia.

Our acquisitions have generated revenues as stand-alone entities prior to the December 2020 consolidate:  Cronomed since March 2005; Breeze since January 2013; and Kasa since July 2013.

Medicinal-Grade Cannabis, Cannabis Oil Extracts and Related Products

Through our 90% owned subsidiary, Cosechemos, we are focused on cultivating, processing and supplying natural, medicinal-grade cannabis oil, cannabis oil extracts and related products to large channel distributors, including pharmacies, medical clinics, and cosmetic companies, as well as direct to consumer.

Our cultivation operations are currently in Colombia at the Cosechemos Farm, which is a 361-hectare property, and the Palagua Farms, which is a 1,900-hectare property. See “BusinessProperty, Plant and Equipment.”

The development of cannabis strains enables the selection of mother plants and identification of the concentrations of cannabinoids required for the formulations in which we intend to distribute. We are committed to developing final products consistent with medicinal cannabis industry standards and pharmaceutical procedures. Our products will include a variety of THC and CBD compositions designed to treat specific medical conditions.  Currently, we are authorized to grow only non-pyschoactive cannabis (less than 1% THC), but we expect to obtain a psychoactive cannabis license (higher than 1% THC) by the second quarter of 2021 from Colombian regulators.  Upon obtaining the psychoactive cannabis license, the composition of the strains we grow will include a wide range of THC and CBD ratios.  See “Business—Regulatory Environment.”
65


We intend to support the entire marketing and sales process, develop the necessary knowledge to generate trust and encourage the proper use of the product by users. We will employ a hybrid business-to-business (“B2B”) and business-to-consumer (“B2C”) sales and distribution model for our products. Targeted B2B customers will primarily consist of finished goods manufacturers, research organizations and pharmaceutical companies.

However, with respect to B2C channel sales, we do not plan to market products directly to end consumers but rather through channel distributors including medical clinics, pharmacies, and manufacturers of cosmetic products. We will strive to create allies within the healthcare process (clinics and doctors’ offices) that formulate and believe in cannabis therapies. We will aim to create a network of doctors and related health personnel to meet the needs of the market and through a defined system know and manage the product with confidence and tranquility and at the same time distribute the product in an agile and safe way. We believe that new information technologies will be a key part of this strategy in order to have the market educated on the formulation trends of use and consumption of cannabis. These technologies will be used to educate the medical specialists of the selected branches (neurologists, psychiatrists, rheumatologists, oncologists, etc.) and create the necessary confidence so that the patients they attend have the possibility of receiving cannabis therapies as a complement to traditional therapies.

Moreover, we are developing marketing and commercial strategies focusing on the following topics: marketing, strategic planning and sales tactics (line leaders, visitors and promoters); scientific contents; institutional relations; customer service, after sales; and information systems and management platform.

Skincare and Beauty Products

Through our 87% owned subsidiary, Flora Beauty, we manufacture and sell skincare and beauty products made with innovative ingredients such as CBD oil extract, hemp beads for exfoliators and other natural ingredients through Flora Beauty’s two brands, Mind Naturals and Ô.  Flora Beauty sources CBD, cosmetic ingredients and packaging components from a global supply chain for manufacturing and packaging its Mind Naturals and Ô products.  Upon Cosechemos obtaining regulatory approval to commercially cultivate cannabis, Flora Beauty will use CBD oil from Cosechemos to manufacture its products.

66


Flora Beauty entered the United States skincare market with sales commencing in September 2020 with its first brand, Mind Naturals, and developed its second brand, Ô, in November 2020.  Mind Naturals and Ô inaugural lines exemplify a socially conscious approach to the industry by creating products that are paraben and phthalate free, vegan, and absent any ingredients that utilize animal-testing.  Marketing efforts for such brands will include a cohesive marketing strategy to attract and retain consumer loyalty for its brands, including websites for Mind Naturals (www.mindskincare.com) and Ô (www.lifeinô.com).

Mind Naturals
The Mind Naturals skincare brand is formulated with CDB oil as its key ingredient, alongside other natural ingredients, some of which are endemic to Colombia. Currently, there are four products under the Mind Naturals brand:

(1)
Cleanser: The gentle gel cleanser is used to remove makeup. The cleanser is creamy and smooth in texture, designed to dig deep and cleanse the skin without peeling it.
(2)
Eye Cream: The eye cream decompresses and recharges the skin with hyaluronic acid-based, aimed to generate smoother skin and diminish expression lines.
(3)
Moisturizer: The moisturizer feeds the skin with antioxidants and is formulated with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E from cacay oil, and CBD.  The moisturizer is designed to nourish and replenish, leaving a smooth and dewy complexion.
(4)
Hydrating mask: The relaxing hydrating mask treatment can be used twice a week to enhance the effects of the other three products.
Ô
Ô, is a brand inspired by the amazing moments of life, the beauty of the world, its biodiversity, and the beauty that everyone can find in themselves.  The difference in ingredients in the Mind Naturals products and Ô products is the concentration of the active ingredients, such as the CBD and the delivery methods. Ô’s initial portfolio of products is similar to Mind Naturals and includes a cleanser, eye cream, moisturizer and a nourishing mask:
(1)
Cleanser: The cleanser is designed to remove impurities and prepare the skin for its daily routine.  Its special ingredients include CBD, cold-pressed coconut oil, and cacay oil.
(2)
Eye Cream: The eye cream is designed to provide a smooth finish and eliminate fine lines and under-eye bags.  Its special ingredients include CBD and sacha inchi oil.

67

(3)
Moisturizer: The moisturizer is designed to replenish your skin and deliver a healthy complexion. Its special ingredients include CBD, calendula extract, aloe vera, and cacay oil.
(4)
Nourishing mask: The nourishing mask is designed to rejuvenate your skin and deliver an alluring glow.  Special ingredients include CBD and sacha inchi oil.
Dermo-Cosmetic Products
Our 90% owned subsidiary, Breeze, focuses on the design and development of dermo-cosmetic products to respond to the needs of consumers, health specialists, patients and therapists. Breeze also manufactures custom formulas and premium personal care products for B2C clients made at its Instituto Nacional de Vigilancia de Medicamentos y Alimentos (“INVIMA”) and FDA registered laboratory and provides Breeze’s clients with access to its technical team of chemists, specialists and its INVIMA and FDA registered laboratory. This partnership ensures that clients are part of the product development process.
Custom formulas may range in complexity from a single ingredient product to a product featuring multiple ingredients. The custom formulation process includes the modification of an existing product or the development of an entire new product to target a specific concern. Breeze currently provides a variety of custom products for established customers and is involved in every phase of product development.
Breeze’s portfolio of products and services include the following:
White Label: development and production of brands for businesses.

Custom Formulas: specific customized needs for patients and consumers.

Dermo cosmetic products: intended for plastic surgeons, cosmetic surgeons, dermatologists and clinicians in other specialties.

Private Label: brands developed for our intra-company divisions and spa products intended for beauticians and beauty treatment professionals for beauty treatments such as weight reduction and skin appearance improvement.

Bottling and Packaging Services: to maximize idle time and laboratory output.
68

95% of Breeze’s suppliers are local suppliers, which offer national and foreign origin raw materials and have 80% immediate availability (maximum time of 8 days). The other 20% of raw materials are managed with a delivery time between 30-90 days depending on the material. Breeze utilizes high quality materials that are certified internationally by ECOCERT, Cosmos, among others.
Breeze is also a strategic partner for the companies within the Flora group of companies. Breeze manufactures all the products in the Flora Beauty brand portfolio as well as the entire Almost Virgin brand portfolio from Kasa. See “BusinessFood and Beverage Products.” In the fourth quarter of 2021, Breeze will begin the manufacturing process for all of Cronomed’s beauty products.  Upon Cosechemos obtaining regulatory approval to commercially cultivate cannabis, Breeze will utilize CBD oil from Cosechemos to manufacture CBD infused products, which will lead to better margins and vertical integration of the supply chain.
Pharmaceutical Products

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Cronomed, employs a business-to-business (“B2B”) model, selling its products to wholesalers, pharmacies and retailers. Cronomed is focused on the commercialization and distribution of pharmaceutical and over-the-counter products, including dietary supplements, phytotherapeutic and nutraceutical products, supplements and related products to large channel distributors, including pharmacies, medical clinics, and cosmetic companies.

Currently, Cronomed offers 56 different products. Cronomed is developing 13 additional products focused on the over-the-counter medicinal market. These new products include five antibiotics (Amoxaciline-Dicloxaciline-Clindamicine-Cefalexine-Clotrimazol), three gastrointestinal (Simeticone-Aginato-Esomeprazol), one analgesic (Meloxicam), one antiparasitic (Nitazoxanide), one antihistamine (Desolaratadine), one mucolytic (Acetylcysteine) and one erectile dysfunction (Tadalafil).

Cronomed uses third-party white-label producers (including international suppliers Athena from France and Nyells from the United States, and domestic suppliers such as Coaspharma, Colompack, Syntofarma, Vital Hands, Nutripharma, among others) to manufacture its products under its various brands and has strong relationships with such producers and suppliers of raw materials.  Currently, Cronomed uses 16 different producers to produce its 56 products in Colombia. In addition, Cronomed acquires the majority of its raw materials in Colombia.  All the active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) are supplied by international companies from various countries including the United States, China and Germany.

Loungewear and Textiles

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Hemp Textiles, we develop, manufacture and sell hemp-based products on a hybrid B2B and B2C model. Hemp Textiles products are currently manufactured in Colombia using hemp from Turkey and China.  As our hemp cultivation at Cosechemos becomes commercially operational, Hemp Textiles will use hemp from the Cosechemos Farm for its products. In June 2020, Hemp Textiles launched its inaugural loungewear brand, Stardog Loungewear, and a new business line consisting of the commercialization of hemp textiles is under development and expected to be launched in the first quarter of 2021.
69


Under the “Stardog” brand, Hemp Textiles launched its inaugural set of products, including copper infused hemp facemasks, jogger pants, house shoes, crew neck sweaters, hoodies, t-shirts, henley shirts, robes and shorts. Such products are sold directly to consumers via the website www.stardogloungewear.com.   Although most of the Stardog Loungewear sales are expected to take place in the United States, Hemp Textiles is able to distribute its products worldwide. Hemp Textiles incorporates a pre-order business model in which it only produces what it has sold previously to limit inventory and associated costs.  Hemp Textile’s main marketing efforts are focused on digital strategies working with social media influencers, digital advertising, public relation firms, paid media and email marketing.  Facebook advertisements will be the main source of traffic to the Stardog Loungewear website.
              
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s February 2020 Economic Viability of Industrial Hemp in the United States: A Review of State Pilot Programs, hemp fabrics are mostly found in China due to the lack of stringent cannabis restrictions. In addition, prices have remained stable among the biggest suppliers.  Hemp can grow every 4 months even with a shortage of water, so it can adapt to a variety of conditions. Gradually, the Hemp Textiles business will be vertically integrated, as Cosechemos is testing and developing a variety of hemp strains that fully adapt to the environmental conditions at the Cosechemos Farm. Producing our own fabrics in-house would increase operational margins significantly, as it is our biggest cost center.

We are also focused on the production of a line of textiles servicing the hospitality, medical and clothing industries on a B2B basis.  Hemp Textiles SAS has agreed to wholesale distribution in Colombia and the United States for Hemp Fortex Industries Ltd., a fully vertically integrated global hemp textile producer.  Sectors that we expect to supply these textiles include: hospitality, medical, military and apparel sectors, among others with an interest in the anti-bacterial and highly resistant properties of hemp.
Food and Beverage Products
Our 90% owned subsidiary, Kasa, designs, produces, and supplies natural, no additive-added, no sugar-added juices, chocolate and chocolate related products to large channel distributors, including wholesale distributors, pharmacies, supermarkets and online distributors. Throughout 2020, Kasa has focused its research and development efforts on a water soluble cannabinoid solution to infuse cannabinoids into its products.

Kasa owns the Mambe brand of products, which includes juices, exotic fruits coated with chocolate, chocolate bars (with non-GMO and Kosher certifications) and dried fruits and pulp from Amazonian fruits. Mambe products are made using organic and sustainable methods.

Kasa’s juice co-packer operations are in Rionegro, Antioquia, Colombia, where Kasa produces its inventory for its business, from fruits and pulps to the RTD 250ml Juices. Kasa’s chocolate and botanicals co-packers are based in Bogotá, Colombia, strategically in the center of the country to attend domestic and international distribution.
70


Kasa’s main chocolate co-packer is Casa Luker S.A, with over 110 years in the chocolate business, and Kasa’s juice co-packer is Hotfill S.A.S, who runs one of the biggest production (RTD) facilities in the region. Kasa’s two main clients in Colombia are Jeronimo Martins, with stores and discount supermarkets, and BBI Colombia S.A.S, with TOSTAO coffeeshops. Kasa currently has over 1,000 points of sale in Colombia. The location of its facilities offers Kasa the opportunity to distribute high quality, healthy beverages to the entire country and both ports in the Caribbean and Pacific.

Raw materials comprise mainly glass, fruits and aluminum. The aluminum for lids and glass for the 250ml bottles comes directly from Peldar O-I (Owen Illinois) producing glass in Colombia and importing lids from Mexico.  Harvest seasons drops prices of fruit significantly, but Kasa’s current negotiations have a fixed price for the whole year supply.

In addition, Kasa has developed a unique blend of organic botanical sexual wellness products designed to promote sexual arousal and help people enjoy the most of their sexual experience under the Almost Virgin brand for the Colombian and North American markets.  These product lines are developed and ready for international distribution.

To market its products, Kasa is focusing on digital strategies, such as working with influencers, digital advertising, public relations, social media, paid search and email marketing to widen reach of its products and brands through wholesale, retail and e-commerce.

Our Industry

Expanding Cannabis Market

We are targeting what we believe to be a lucrative cannabis market, which is growing at 50% per year and projected to reach $20B by 2024 globally, according to BDS Analytics.  Our current focus is on selling our products in the United States and Colombia in the short term, with expansion to other Latin American countries, Canada and Europe, subject to regulatory conditions in such countries. We believe that the concentrates and oils segments present the biggest opportunity in the cannabis market, creating a compelling value proposition for our pharmaceutical-grade cannabis oil. Nonetheless, we believe that the cannabis market presents a natural opportunity to diversify revenue streams across consumer segments including wellness, beauty, loungewear, textiles and food and beverages.
71


The rapid growth of the global cannabis market is attributed by many to be the result of the positive legislative developments around the globe and increasing recognition for its use in medicinal and wellness application.

2019 Hemp and CBD Industry Factbook

Colombia

Cosechemos was strategically selected as our flagship cultivation facility due to the exceptional growing conditions that are expected to yield low-cost high-quality cannabis.  The Colombian market offers us a cultivation environment that we believe yields exceptional growing economics and an attractive business environment that is equally favorable to us.  We intend to serve the domestic Colombian market and certain countries in Latin America that have legalized medicinal cannabis and allow for the importation of CBD-based products, addressing the medicinal cannabis needs of prospective Colombian patients with conditions potentially suitable for treatment with medical cannabis. Colombia is also one of the world’s top cut flower producing regions. The skills of its many experienced horticultural workers are quickly transferable from flowers to cannabis. Additionally, the cost of agricultural labor in Colombia is less than a quarter of U.S. labor even with fair labor standards now in place throughout the industry to ensure safe and respectful working environments and fair wages. Moreover, the equatorial location of its facilities offers us the opportunity to cultivate the highest quality cannabis flowers and produce correspondingly high-quality oil extracts.

While Colombia-based cultivation yields exceptional growing economics, the broader Colombian investment environment is equally favorable to us.  In 2011, the World Bank classified Colombia as the #1 Latin American country and #5 globally for protecting investor’s interests, making Colombia an attractive business environment.  Moreover, Colombia is the third largest economy and population (45.5 million) in Latin America; over the last 10 years, the Colombian economy grew more than the average growth for Latin America and the Caribbean.

In addition to serving as an attractive business environment, Colombia is a reliable partner.  Colombia is considered the closest political and commercial ally of the United States in Latin America.  Moreover, Colombia has one of the most productive and highest-skilled manual labour forces available in South America.  Colombia is also a member of the OECD, a sign of what we believe to be economic stability, transparency and government discipline.
72


Moreover, Colombia is ideally located both globally and locally.  Colombia has more than 18 trade agreements worldwide, including with the United States, Canada, and the European Union, and is a founding member of the Pacific Alliance Regional trade block.  This gives Colombian-based companies preferential access to more than 65 countries.  In addition, Colombia’s geographic access to global markets and well-developed infrastructure result in reduced costs and delivery times according to United Nations, JP Morgan, World Bank.

Rest of the World

While Colombia represents the largest near-term opportunities with respect to the CBD market, many other countries around the world are also legalizing medicinal cannabis at a rapid pace.  Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, New Zealand and South Africa are among countries that have legalized medical cannabis for certain accepted uses.

Medicinal Cannabis Market

We intend to serve the domestic Colombian market and certain countries in Latin America that have legalized medicinal cannabis and allow for the importation of CBD-based products. Our CBD dominant cannabis products will mainly be focused on addressing the medicinal cannabis needs of prospective Colombian patients with conditions potentially suitable for treatment with medical cannabis. Such conditions include anxiety, insomnia, anorexia, chronic pain, epilepsy, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Parkinson’s disease, Tourette syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) and spinal cord injury (SCI)1.

Prohibition Partners estimates a need for medical cannabis production in Colombia to treat pain and pain symptoms of 4.5 million patients domestically in addition to noting that 60 million patients in Latin America suffer from conditions such as cancer, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy. In Colombia alone, it is estimated that more than 2.2 million people suffer with chronic pain, some 475,000 suffer post-traumatic stress disorder and another 520,000 have insomnia.

The market for medicinal cannabis in Colombia is characterized by a structural shortage of supply, with few authorized producers of THC dominant cannabis. There are comparatively more producers of CBD dominant cannabis as production of CBD cannabis is not subject to the quota system in Colombia. Although competition in the market is growing, management believes that we are competitively positioned to capitalize on its early mover status and satisfy a significant portion of the market’s demand for medicinal cannabis.

The global cannabis industry is experiencing significant change as governments embrace regulatory reform, liberalizing the production and consumption of cannabis. It is possible that foreign corporations may enter the Colombian market as a result of Colombia’s regulatory regime, creating the prospect of Colombia becoming a hub for future industry development. In addition, we may face new competition with other licensed cannabis producers offering similar products to our products.

We believe that, as global cannabis regulations continue to transform, Colombia may potentially legalize non-medicinal cannabis use following the example of countries such as Uruguay and Canada, which have both recently legalized adult-use recreational cannabis nationally. We believe that such an event would become a key factor for the Company’s future growth prospects, as such, we will continue to proactively monitor Colombia’s legal cannabis environment and plan accordingly for any potential changes to the country’s legal cannabis framework.

We believe that the concentrates and oils segments present the biggest opportunity in the cannabis market, creating a compelling value proposition for our pharmaceutical-grade CBD oil. Nonetheless, we believe that the CBD market presents a natural opportunity to diversify revenue streams across consumer segments including wellness, beauty, and food and beverages.

Skincare and Beauty Market and the Cosmetics Sector

Part of our objectives are to conquer the beauty and wellness markets in the United States and Colombia, give visibility to the quality of the products that are grown and developed in Colombia, and create skincare and beauty products that promote well-being and are part of the beauty routine of the more conscious women. We leverage expertise from industry and business leaders and preserve the traditions of Colombian culture to ensure we develop skincare and beauty products that match the needs of today’s consumers.  In cosmetics formulation, CBD as a natural ingredient has a variety of claimed wellness and cosmetic benefits, such as being anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-pollution, has collagen-promoting properties and is an antidote to anxiety and stress, which helps treat acne, sensitive skin, eczema, psoriasis, and rashes.

Our focus is on selling the Flora Beauty skincare products in the United States and Colombia in the short term, with expansion to other Latin American countries, Canada and Europe, subject to regulatory conditions in such countries.  Presently, each of the United States and Canada allows for the commercial production and distribution of skincare products containing CBD.  Flora Beauty’s products are already being sold in Colombia at S.A.C. I. Falabella (“Falabella”) and online at www.mindskincare.com and www.lifeinô.comFalabella has retail stores in large South American countries such as Chile, Peru, Argentina and Colombia and is considered the largest and most valuable retail company in Latin America.

According to Prohibition Partners, a leading market intelligence firm on the global cannabis industry, the beauty industry worldwide generated $524 billion in revenue in 2019 and is projected to grow to over $800 billion by 2023, making it one of the fastest growing segments in retail. At the center of it is the United States, which represents $20 billion in sales and leads the world in trends and brand adoption.  The global CBD skincare market was valued at $710 million in 2018 with projected sales of $959 million by 2024. The sector is likely to continue to gain credibility with more launches from major players in the coming years, and, as a result, CBD skincare could account for around 10% of global skincare sales by 2024.
Moreover, the cosmetics sector is a growing market in Colombia and in the world. Colombia is the third most important market in Latin America in the beauty and personal care industry preceded by Brazil and Mexico. The director of the Chamber of the Pharmaceutical and Toiletries Industry of the National Association of Business of Colombia (ANDI) reported that in 2019 the cosmetics industry represented sales of $3.57 billion in Colombia, a growth of 3.08% compared to 2018 where sales were $3.46 billion.  Breeze anticipates competing with other manufacturers of dermo-cosmetic products in Colombia as it moves forward with the execution of its international business plan.
Pharmaceutical Market and Health Sector

According to the data reported to the Drug Price Information System, pharmaceutical sales have shown sustained growth in recent years, although in 2019 it grew at the lowest rate since 2015.  In turn, the units sold rose from 1,06 billion in 2018 to 1,08 billion in 2019, showing a 2% increase. The value of pharmaceutical exports, however, has declined significantly in recent years, with 2019 being an exception. In March 2020, the fall exceeded 10% compared to the same period in 2019. By contrast, export volumes have shown strong growth, particularly in the January-March 2020 period, with an expansion of 28%.

The health sector in Colombia offers various business opportunities in vaccine and biotechnological drug production centers, as well as in the medical cannabis market.  We are working with Cronomed’s existing research and development team to explore how Cronomed’s product line can incorporate our CBD-oil to improve the effectiveness of its products and develop new products using CBD as an active ingredient.  Colombia has become a benchmark in this industry as one of the first countries to structure a regulatory framework for the safe and informed access to the medical and scientific use of the plant and its derivatives. Furthermore, the chemical sector in Colombia has adopted several international regulations, such as the Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) and the Globally Harmonized System (GHS).  In addition, Colombia has implemented its own control system for substances that could be used for illegal purposes, and it is currently implementing environmental protection systems such as the Pollutant Release and Transfer Registry (PRTR).
74


Despite Colombia’s struggle with counterfeit medicines and restrictive pharmaceutical pricing environment, the country’s large and burgeoning population and recent legislative commitments to improving healthcare access will continue to offer growth opportunities to drug-makers, like Cronomed.  Nonetheless, Cronomed anticipates competing with other manufacturers and distributers of over-the-counter pharmaceutical products in Colombia, the United States and Canada as it moves forward with the execution of its international business plan. Cronomed’s operations and ability to compete internationally will benefit from joining our group of companies due to vertical integration synergies and access to our management team, board of directors and advisors as well as capital to grow its business.

Pursuant to its marketing plan, Cronomed 10X, Cronomed intends to increase its current market share and net sales ten times in the next three years (2023) from $1.3 million to $13 million by selling its pharmaceutical products in the domestic market in Colombia and targeting foreign export of certain non-pharmaceutical products to the United States. To achieve these objectives, Cronomed will need to increase its sales team to be able to target each region of Colombia.  Further, Cronomed intends to liaise with medical clinics and doctors’ offices to educate medical professionals about Cronomed’s products.  Cronomed will be unable to expand distribution of certain of its pharmaceutical products into the United States without approval from the FDA. Until our revenues increase, we will not have the capital resources to obtain approval from the FDA nor to conduct adequate market research to adapt products and marketing to the needs of the market.

Loungewear and Textiles Market

According to Global Newswire, the global sleepwear and loungewear market are poised to grow by $19.5 billion during 2020-2024, progressing at a CAGR of 9%.  Moreover, according to Bloomberg, the loungewear market is expected to reach $47.8 billion by 2025, making it a very interesting market to focus on.  While apparel sells were down in 2020 by 52%, loungewear sales grew by 22.5%, representing a compound gap of 77.5% according to Forbes. This contrast has made many players turn their eyes to the loungewear subcategories, such as activewear, sleepwear and home comfort wear. Some companies in the sector, such as Alo Yoga, had 40 million in sales on cyber Monday alone. Lululemon is expected to hit a $50 billion market cap this year and was listed by the Financial Times as one of the companies that has had the biggest growth during the COVID-19 pandemic.

While this indicates a strong interest for loungewear products by consumers, it also indicates the level of competition that there already is. The clothing and loungewear in Colombia and the United States is highly competitive with a few companies sharing a large share of the market, however, we believe that there is a need in the marketplace for hemp-based products specifically.

In addition, our loungewear and textiles business have a degree of seasonality due to the fact that the fabrics are warm and are designed to be loungewear.  To mitigate any seasonal risk, Hemp Textiles is designing a summer collection to be suitable for warmer seasons.  Nonetheless, in the retail sector, the e-commerce second semester is typically stronger than the first semester, in part, due to increased consumer buying during the holiday season.

Food and Beverages Market

Kasa’s principal market over the last three years for its Mambe juices has been in Colombia, primarily in supermarkets, hard discount retailers, coffee shops, restaurants and airports in Bogotá, Colombia, including well-known Colombian retailers Tostao, Jumbo, Ara, Xue and Sipote Burrito. Kasa’s products are not subject to strong seasonability concerns in Colombia. Kasa has experienced a decrease in sales of 10% only between the months from January to March due, in part, to the vacation season in the top Colombian cities.

Kasa intends to expand its operation and business over the entire Colombia domestic territory over the next three years and export its portfolio of products to the United States and Canada. The Almost Virgin brand and Mambe chocolates and juices will be available, without any cannabinoids, in the United States and Canada during the first quarter of 2021.  Kasa intends to distribute its juices, chocolates and botanicals with CBD, CBN and CBG in the North American market as soon as possible, subject to approval from the U.S Federal Food and Drug Administration. Moreover, Kasa has already exported initial stock to Montreal and Miami to distribute with its e-commerce platform the Almost Virgin Sexual wellness product lines (www.almost-virgin.com).

In addition, Kasa is aiming to penetrate the Canadian market with its chocolates, initially targeting Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, with its first buyer being Expod Services de Exportation (based in Montreal). According to Statista, Canada’s revenue in the confectionery segment amounts to $9.44 million in 2020. The market is expected to grow annually by 1.8% (CAGR 2020-2025).  In global comparison, most revenue is generated in the United States ($176.01 million in 2020).  The average per capita consumption stands at 24.9 kg in 2020.

With respect to the juice market, Kasa aims to penetrate the Canadian market and later into the United States in 2021.  According to Statista, global soft drink revenue amounted to a volume of $667.38 million in 2020. In global comparison, most revenue is generated in the United States ($280.51 million in 2020).

Kasa’s erotic botanicals also have very interesting market opportunities in Canada and in the United States. According to Statista, revenue in the beauty and personal care market amounts to $77.99 million in 2020. The market is expected to grow annually by 4.3% (CAGR 2020-2025). The personal care market experienced a market volume of $36.67 million in 2020. In global comparison, most revenue is generated in the United States ($77.99 million in 2020).

Our Competitive Strengths

The market for medicinal cannabis in Colombia is characterized by a structural shortage of supply, with few authorized producers of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, dominant cannabis. There are comparatively more producers of CBD dominant cannabis as production of Cannabidiol, or CBD, cannabis is not subject to the quota system in Colombia, which is a system established by the Colombian government to limit the production volume of cannabis plants and derivatives. Although competition in the Colombian market is growing, we believe that we are competitively positioned to capitalize on our early mover status and to satisfy a significant portion of the market’s demand for medicinal cannabis.

Due to the competitive and dynamic nature of the emerging cannabis products market and rapid changes in the regulatory environment, we recognize the need to remain flexible, so we can react to opportunities and risks as they develop. We will continue to re-evaluate and re-prioritize our strategies to respond to these developments. We are actively fostering a culture of continued agility and exploration since the ability to pivot depending on market dynamics will deliver competitive advantage.

Our experienced management team provides us with a competitive advantage in the emerging cannabis industry.

Management expects that its experience and fundamental understanding of Colombia’s regulatory framework, the agricultural and scientific processes necessary to develop high quality and consistent medicinal cannabis products provides the Company with a competitive advantage in the emerging cannabis industry.

We utilize the Colombian cultivation advantage for the operation of our business.

We anticipate growing cannabis outdoors in Colombia with environmental conditions that allow us to have 3+ crop cycles (harvests) per year, compared to 1-2 in other countries.  This allows us to grow cannabis at a very low cost. Further, according to Bloomberg, the strength of the US dollar is projected to provide us with a cost advantage over our competitors, due to each dollar going further in Colombia as compared to other countries (1 USD = 3,750 Colombian pesos). In addition, according to Digital Logistics Capacity Assessments, Colombia has a workforce highly-skilled in agriculture at only 1/10th of the cost compared to the United States.

In addition, we believe that the following competitive strengths in Colombia and the United States have contributed to our success thus far and differentiated us from our competitors:

Colombia
 
Our acquisitions in Colombia of Kasa, Cronomed and Breeze which businesses have some years of operating history, sales and brand recognition;
Our Partnerships with Laura Londono and Paulina Vega, well known celebrities in Colombia and Latin America;
Following our planned commercial production CBD, we anticipate using CBD in our products as opposed to purchasing which gives us access to high quality lower-priced CBD;
Synergies associated with producing our products out of our recently acquired Quipropharma laboratory; and
Our strong distribution relationships in Colombia for the product categories Flora offers.

United States
 
Our emerging business producing products in Colombia at a low cost and exporting to US;
Strength of the dollar compared to Colombian peso;
Our expanding product portfolio that allows for revenue diversification;
Paulina Vega, former Ms. Universe, has a strong profile with US Hispanic consumers;
Vertical integration that ensures quality of raw materials and cost efficiencies;
Sustainability focus that includes natural ingredients, ecological packaging and organic practices;
Our ability to utilize skilled labor in Colombia for efficient costs and production; and
Positive regulatory environment that supports exports into the United States.

76


We produce natural cannabis and derivative products to capitalize on rapidly growing consumer segments.

Natural and sustainable products across food and beverage, cosmetics, and medicinal markets are projected to grow rapidly as consumers prioritize healthy and sustainable products that are good for themselves, their family, and their environment.

We have implemented a structure of synergy within our operations.

Breeze provides turn key solutions for skincare professionals and innovated by modifying a business model that already existed but has not been adapted to the needs of consumers. Breeze adopted efficient manufacturing practices and logistics to meet the doctor’s expectation in terms of image, product functionality, profitability, minimum quantities to manufacture and delivery times. 80% of clients are new companies that cannot find an option in the market to manufacture high quality cosmetic and dermo cosmetic products. Breeze supports the product design process through specialized technical assistance.  Breeze’s commercial success has been founded in the synergy between its technical and commercial teams. Technical experts and chemists oversee the client development portfolio. This approach allows prospective clients access to product experts that help solve for specific needs. The team provides firsthand knowledge and support. This approach has been extremely successful, and the company has been able to build over a 300+ client portfolio.

Our Growth Strategies

Our goal is to become a market leader in the in the cultivation and processing of natural, medicinal-grade cannabis oil and high quality cannabis derived medical and wellbeing products for large channel distributors, including pharmacies, medical clinics, and cosmetic companies, by expanding our production capacity, creating sustainable and natural products, expanding our geographic footprint, continuing to explore strategic partnerships and pursuing accretive acquisitions to supplement our organic growth.  These key growth strategies are set forth below.
Expanding our production capacity.
In the near term, our primary strategy is to expand our production capacity and related infrastructure to meet existing demand in the United States and Colombia.
Following the successful cultivation of 100 hectares at the Cosechemos Farm, obtaining adequate financing, if needed, and subject to demand for Cosechemo’s products, we intend to expand our operations by cultivating non-psychoactive cannabis at the Palagua Farms and intend to use 50 hectares for such cultivation at the Palagua Farms.  Following the successful cultivation of the first 50 hectares, the Company can cultivate up to an additional 1,850 hectares at the Palagua Farms. As a result, we would be able to increase our cannabis products production capacity for our subsidiaries.
Breeze is currently negotiating the acquisition of a GMP-C certified laboratory to increase its production capacity and to be able to service international markets in the future.
Creating Sustainable and Natural Products.
We believe that sustainable innovation is key to achieving our production objectives, and the main driver to our product development approach. All Flora Beauty packaging is designed to be sustainable (for example, utilizing sugar cane tubing) to help reduce the environmental impact and support sustainability goals. We are also in the process of achieving Environmental Working Group (“EWG”) certification for the two Flora Beauty lines. EWG is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to protecting human health and the environment.
Through our strategy of sustainable and natural product development and packaging, we are committed to manufacturing products that are respectful to the environment and based on the 4Rs of resources management: Recycle, Reduce, Replace and Reuse.  We believe that sustainable innovation is key to achieve our goal, and the main driver to our product development approach, which includes creative design, researching new materials, and increasing awareness about the lifecycle of our packaging solutions.

Moreover, Flora Beauty is committed to the development of products that are natural and sustainable with HERO ingredients all based in nature and investing in high-quality packaging with renewable, biodegradable, and recycled materials, that minimize carbon footprint.
77


Expanding our geographic footprint.
Our current focus is on selling our products in the United States and Colombia in the short term, with expansion to other Latin American countries, Canada and Europe, subject to regulatory conditions in such countries.  In order to expand into these new jurisdictions, we will have to obtain the necessary approvals and licenses and conduct adequate market research to adapt our products and marketing to the needs of those markets.
Exploring strategic partnerships.
Because we offer a wide variety of cannabis related products, including beauty and skincare products, foods and beverages, and clothing products, we believe that we can create a competitive advantage by partnering with national and multinational companies, across various product categories to jointly develop and market branded cannabis offerings.
In addition, by partnering with global beauty influencers, like Ms. Vega, we believe that we can leverage their deep connections with consumers, ensuring that our products deliver on the ever-changing needs of today’s wellness and beauty market. We anticipate that such engagement would help drive sales through e-commerce channels.
Pursuing accretive acquisitions.
We believe that our deal-making capabilities and experience will allow us to successfully identify, consummate and integrate acquisitions. The cannabis industry is highly fragmented and as it continues to evolve, we expect significant industry consolidation in existing and new markets. We believe that our deal-making capabilities and experience will allow us to successfully identify, consummate and integrate acquisitions. As a public company, we would have greater ability to finance acquisitions, including through using our equity as consideration and accessing the capital markets.
Regulatory Environment

Our operations require receipt of certain governmental approvals, licenses and permits.  A summary of such governmental approvals, licenses and permits are set forth below.  Also see “Business—Our Intellectual Property Portfolio.”

Cosechemos Operations and Cultivation Licenses

Import and Export Licenses

Cosechemos will be required to comply with the importation laws, rules and regulations of each country in which it looks to export its products to.  Cosechemos will need to obtain the ICA (Colombian Institute of Agriculture) Permit, which is expected in the second quarter of 2021. Other than approval from the ICA to register CBD strains with the national cultivar registry, Cosechemos does not need any other licenses or permissions to commercially cultivate and export CBD-based products or derivatives from non-psychoactive cannabis outside of Colombia.

Presently, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Uruguay and Peru allow for the importation of CBD-based products. We have commenced discussions with potential partners and customers in these jurisdictions, and we expect to export to these countries during the second quarter of 2021, assuming we have received the requisite regulatory approval and adequate funding will enable a commercial-scale harvest.  We do not presently have the customary import approvals from countries outside of Colombia to import our cannabis-based products into such countries and expect to apply for licenses and obtain such approvals in the second quarter of 2021, subject to adequate funding.  We intend to use proceeds from the Regulation A Offering and this offering to apply for and obtain such approvals.  We may need additional financings to achieve the foregoing objectives, and such financing is not guaranteed on acceptable terms or at all.
78


Fuente Semillera License

Up until December 31, 2018, under article 2.8.11.11.1 of Decree 631 of 2018, licensed cannabis producers had the right to register before the Colombian Agricultural Institute (“ICA”) the genetics of any cannabis strain found in Colombia without having to declare or specify its origin. This right, known as “Fuente semillera”, works a mechanism to legalize the sources of cannabis genetics already existing in Colombia, by allowing licensees to initiate the formal proceedings before the ICA, required to register such genetics in the Colombian National Plants Registry or “Registro Nacional de Cultivares.”  In this sense, each strain registered as Fuente semillera belongs to each licensee, giving it the right to grow its own strands of cannabis as opposed to having to purchase registered strands from other licensed producers. As of December 31, 2018, Cosechemos registered 12 varieties as its own Fuente semillera.  This registration enables Cosechemos to grow its own strands of cannabis as opposed to having to purchase registered strands from other licensed producers.

Psychoactive Cannabis Cultivation License

On August 22, 2019, Cosechemos applied to the Ministry of Justice for a psychoactive cannabis license (the “Psychoactive Cannabis License”), which authorizes the cultivation of psychoactive cannabis plants for (i) seeds and cuttings production; (ii) grain production; (iii) the manufacture of derivatives; and (iv) scientific research purposes. Besides cultivation, licensees also have an authorization to store, commercialize, distribute and transport psychoactive cannabis plants, as well as dried cannabis flower. Cosechemos expects to obtain this license in the first quarter of 2021.

Cannabis Manufacturing License

On August 14, 2019, Cosechemos applied to the Ministry of Health and Social Protection (the “Ministry of Health”) for its cannabis manufacturing license. Cosechemos has received the cannabis manufacturing license as of November 9, 2020.

ICA Permit

Currently, Cosechemos has 12 varieties of medicinal cannabis registered with the ICA and has the registration as a producer of selected seeds granted by the ICA. Upon receiving the ICA Permit, Cosechemos will commence with commercial cultivation. In order to commence with commercial cultivation, we will need to receive the ICA Permit, which is granted after the completion and support of the agronomic evaluation tests, which are a mandatory requirement of the Ministry of Agriculture. Agronomic evaluation tests are ongoing and we expect to obtain the ICA Permit in the second quarter of 2021. 

Once the ICA Permit is obtained, we can start commercial planting and we will commence planting 100 hectares of non-psychoactive cannabis at the Cosechemos Farm (the “Stage 1 Grow”).  Following the successful completion of the Stage 1 Grow and subject to the Company having adequate financing and demand for the Company’s products, Cosechemos can expand its operations by cultivating non-psychoactive cannabis at the Palagua Farms comprising over 2,000 hectares.   Following the successful cultivation of 100 hectares at the Cosechemos Farm, adequate financing and subject to demand for the Company’s products, Cosechemos can expand its operations by cultivating non-psychoactive cannabis at the Palagua Farms.

Non-Psychoactive Cannabis License

Cosechemos applied for a non-psychoactive cannabis license (the “Non-Psychoactive Cannabis License”) on September 6, 2019 and the Ministry of Justice granted it on May 15, 2019, through Resolution N° 484. The Non-Psychoactive Cultivation License grants Cosechemos the right to cultivate non-psychoactive cannabis plants for: (a) grain and seeds production; (b) manufacturing of derivatives; and (c) industrial production. The Cannabis Non-Psychoactive Cultivation License does not require a quota. The license is valid up to 5 years and can be renewed for additional 5-year terms. The Colombian government maintains the right to monitor the activities performed by the corresponding licensee.

Because our Non-Psychoactive Cannabis License allows us to produce and distribute CBD dominant cannabis oils and derivative products, this provides a strong base for our operations as the recently established medicinal cannabis market in Colombia develops and matures, and opportunities in Colombia’s low THC non-psychoactive cannabis over-the-counter markets arise. In Colombia, there are approximately 500 companies with a Non-Psychoactive Cannabis Cultivation License. 

It is important to note that, in compliance with its international obligations, Colombia establishes an annual limit for the production volume of cannabis plants and derivatives, which is monitored by the International Narcotics Control Board. Based on this limit, the Colombian government established a quota system, in order to control the amount of psychoactive cannabis production per license. This means that for the Psychoactive Cannabis License, licensees must first apply for a specific crop or manufacturing quota, before beginning production. Such restriction is not applicable to non-psychoactive cannabis production, and therefore not applicable to the Non-Psychoactive Cannabis License. The current operations of Cosechemos do not require a Cannabis Seeds Possession License, Psychoactive Cannabis License or a Cannabis Derivatives Manufacturing License.
79


Compliance and Registrations for our Skincare and Beauty Products
We manufacture our Flora Beauty products under strict international standards.  Pursuant to Colombian law, Flora Beauty is permitted to manufacture, sell and export beauty and cosmetics products made from CBD and other natural ingredients.  In addition, all of Flora Beauty’s products are compliant with FDA regulations and manufactured in an FDA registered lab.
All of Flora Beauty’s Mind Naturals products are registered with INVIMA, Colombia’s food and drug regulatory agency. Currently, Flora Beauty has four licenses from INVIMA for its products. We are also in the process of getting approvals for the Ô brand products from INVIMA and such approvals are expected in the first quarter of 2021.  Moreover, we are in the process of achieving certification for the two Flora Beauty lines from the EWG.
Operating License and Registrations for our Dermo-Cosmetic Products
In 2012, Breeze focused its efforts on the construction of its production facility and received an operating license from INVIMA in November 2012. This operating license allowed Breeze to start the production of cosmetic products in November 2012. Such license is still valid to date.  In 2013, the manufacturing and commercialization of its own brand products and third-party products began. Additionally, each product requires an individual registration called NSO (obligatory sanitary notification). Breeze currently has 22 NSO and 55 NSO from third parties for which it provides bottling and packaging services.
Breeze is currently negotiating the acquisition of a GMP-C certified laboratory to increase its production capacity and to be able to service international markets in the future.
In addition, Breeze intends to develop a new area at its current laboratory, or a new laboratory, if purchased, for drug compounding to obtain a BPE cannabis certification. This certification stands for sterile compounded drugs and non-sterile compounded drugs (topical, oral, among others). Breeze would be one of the first companies in Colombia with a BPE cannabis certification to prepare cannabis compounded drugs. This BPE cannabis certification would allow Breeze to develop and commercialize cannabis medicines in different pharmaceutical forms, such as drops, ointments, capsules, and suppositories. These products are already in development and will begin distribution as soon as the BPE cannabis certification is attained. Breeze intends to apply for the BPE cannabis certification second quarter of 2021.
Licenses for our Pharmaceutical Products

Cronomed’s portfolio of products includes thirty one registered brands that position the company and its brands with the Colombian consumer.   From August 2005 to December 2020, Cronomed has applied to the INVIMA for licenses for distribution and commercialization of Cronomed’s products. Currently, Cronomed has obtained 41 licenses for its 56 products.

Taking into account the regulatory entity’s current regulations, pharmaceutical companies may have one license for several associated brands; for instance, a food license may be associated with several brands and products. As a result, for example, the Cronosure brand has one license for two products (Cronosure Polvo Vainilla and Cronosure Polvo Fresa).

Sanitary Registers for our Food and Beverages Products

Kasa holds four sanitary registers of INVIMA for the production and export of its juices and botanicals, permitting eighteen recipes of juices and three natural erotic oils for distribution.

Property, Plants and Equipment

Cultivation Operations

Our current cultivation operations are in Colombia at: (i) the Cosechemos Farm, a 361-hectare property, and (2) the Palagua Farms, a 1,900-hectare property.
  
Cosechemos Farm

The Cosechemos Farm is in Giron, Santander, Colombia. Giron has a tropical rainforest climate throughout the year with virtually no variation and consistently receives 12 hours of daylight, year-round, with very little variability, which is important for cannabis cultivation. In addition, rainfall is abundant in Giron, which is ideal for controlling humidity and moisture levels within open-air greenhouses. Giron’s location and infrastructure are further well-suited to supply international markets as it is 10 kilometers from Palonegro International Airport.

The Cosechemos Farm hosts Cosechemo’s Nursery and Propagation Centre, storage warehouse, technical and administrative offices, employee quarters, fertilization booth, a water reservoir and the Research Technology and Processing Centre.

Cosechemos leases the Cosechemos Farm pursuant to a lease agreement (the “Cosechemos Lease”), dated May 2, 2018, as amended, with C.I. Gramaluz S.C.A.  The term of the Cosechemos Lease is six years and automatically renews for successive six year terms. Effective March 1, 2020, Cosechemos pays approximately $5,800 (COP20,000,000) a month to lease the Cosechemos Farm.  Pursuant to the Cosechemos Lease, Cosechemos has a right to purchase the Cosechemos Farm at a price to be determined by an arm’s length third party appraiser from the real estate association of Bogotá, Colombia.

We intend to build the following facilities on the Cosechemos Farm: (i) area for breeding; (ii) warehouse for hosing of equipment; (iii) a technical and administrative office; (iv) housing for the technical team; (v) a fertilization centre; (vi) a deep well; (vii) a water reservoir; and (viii) a research and processing center.  We may need additional financing following this offering in order to meet these objectives. Each of the facilities is discussed below.

Research Technology and Processing Centre

We are initiating the design and construction, during the first quarter of 2021, of a Research Technology and Processing Center, which includes an ethanol biomass extraction filtration and recovery system, in an area of approximately 12,500 square feet. The Research Technology and Processing Center will have facilities to: (i) dry flowers naturally and use drying machines; (ii) a grinding area; (iii) extraction areas; and (iv) a phytocannabinoid quality control laboratory, a soil laboratory, a phytopathology laboratory and a beneficial microorganism multiplication laboratory. Once completed, it must be INVIMA certified to ensure it meets EU-GMP standards. Upon completion of the construction of the Cosechemos Research Technology and Processing Center, cannabis will be produced in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Standards.

Non-psychoactive cannabis produced as part of our own research projects is processed at our current processing center located at the Cosechemos Farm. Until the Research Technology and Processing Center is built, the CBD oil from the Pilot Project is being extracted at a temporary non-certified facility located at Cosechemos Farm. Our construction of the Research Technology and Processing Centre is dependent on receipt of a portion of the proceeds of the offering in an approximate amount of $1,500,000.  Our construction of the facility is targeted for completion and expected to be operative during the third fiscal quarter of 2021.

The 12,500 square foot Research Technology and Processing Center is designed to be able to process Cosechemos’ cultivation of 50 ha. The center is being designed to be able to scale up to process Cosechemos’ cultivation of up to 100ha.  To process 100 ha. of cultivation, the center must be expanded to be approximately 47,900 square feet. We intend to increase the size of our facility “module by module” over time as the size of the market for our products increases.

Breeding – We intend to build a 2 hectare area for the implementation of the genetic improvement program and the obtaining of propagation material (seed, cuttings, in vitro plants), including a greenhouse of 1,520 square meters, open field area (area of crosses and evaluation of genetic material), reproduction laboratories and tissue culture, which is estimated to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Propagation Centre – At the moment, we have a 1,512 square meter greenhouse in which we have the capacity to produce 23,000 root cuttings weekly. We intend to build another 1,512 square meters of greenhouses early to mid-2022 capable of supplying 23,000 rooted cuttings per week from 3,000 mother-plants. The estimated number required to support a planned 100-hectare cultivation and harvesting operation at the Cosechemos Farm is 46,000 plants per week (23,000 in each greenhouse).

The primary function of the propagation center is to develop and propagate a steady stream of genetically identically cuttings (clones) that will supply our cultivation lots, where they will grow into flowering plants that eventually yield the harvested cannabis flower that is sent for processing into standardized, medicinal-grade oil extracts at our planned state-of-the-art oil processing center.
81


Warehouse – We intend to construct a 600 square meter warehouse for the housing and storage of all equipment required at the Cosechemos Farm during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Technical and administrative office – We intend to construct a 1,600 square meter office for our technical and administrative team during the first half of 2022.

Housing for Technical Team – We intend to construct a 100 square meter residential quarters to host its technical team during the second quarter of 2021.  Four members of our technical team will reside at the Cosechemos Farm to ensure that its crops have constant surveillance.

Fertilization Centre – We intend to construct three fertilization centers, each approximately 100 square meters which shall contain all of the fertilization infrastructure and equipment needed for the Cosechemos Farm, including pumping system, filters and automation tanks.

Each station will be built for 25 hectares of cultivation, starting the first one in the second half of 2021, the second in the first half of 2022 and the third in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Deep well – We intend to build a 100 meter deep well during the second quarter of 2021, as an additional source of water to be stored in the water reservoir (see below).

Water Reservoir – We intend to construct a 1-hectare water reservoir which shall have a capacity of approximately 30,000 mof water.  The water reservoir will be filled with water from the underground water aquifer and the deep well during the third quarter of 2021, once we have the deep well running.

Palagua Farms

The Palagua Farms (defined below) are located in Puerto Boyacá, Departamento de Boyacá, Colombia.
Puerto Boyacá has a rainforest climate throughout the year with a small variation and consistently receives 12 hours of daylight, year-round, which is excellent for multiple cannabis cultivation cycles in a year. Additionally, rainfall is abundant in Puerto Boyacá, which is ideal for controlling humidity and moisture levels within open-air greenhouses. Puerto Boyacá’s location and infrastructure are well-suited to supply international markets, as it is a river-port town located by the Magdalena River, a principal river of Colombia, and is in close proximity to the airports of Puerto Perales and Puerto Nare.

The Palagua Farm I is a 700 hectare property. The Palagua Farm II is a 1,432-hectare property. The Palagua Farm I and Palagua Farm II (collectively, the “Palagua Farms”) are contiguous to each other. The Palagua Farms are approximately 300 kilometers from the Cosechemos Farm.

82

Pursuant to an option to lease agreement, dated December 27, 2018, as amended on November 1, 2019, between Waldshut C.V. and Cosechemos, Cosechemos has the option to lease the Palagua Farm I (the “Palagua Farm I Option to Lease”).  Pursuant to an option to lease agreement, dated December 27, 2018, as amended on November 1, 2019, between Vicalvaro C.V. and Cosechemos, Cosechemos has the option to lease the Palagua Farm II (the “Palagua Farm II Option to Lease”, and together with the Palagua Farm I Option to Lease, the “Palagua Farms Options to Lease”).   Cosechemos’ option to lease the Palagua Farms expires on February 1, 2021. Pursuant to the Palagua Farms Options to Lease, Cosechemos shall pay approximately $28.13 (COP$95,879) a month for each hectare of the Palagua Farms being used to cultivate cannabis. Cosechemos is not required to make any payments until it commences its operations at the Palagua Farms.  In addition, Cosechemos has a right to purchase the Palagua Farms, in whole or in part, at a price to be determined by an arm’s length third party appraiser from the real estate association of Bogota, Colombia.

The Palagua Farms will host similar facilities to the Cosechemos Farm, including a nursery and propagation centre, storage warehouse, technical and administrative offices, employee quarters, fertilization booth, a water reservoir, and a research technology and processing centre.

Cronomed Warehouse

Cronomed’s operations are centralized in Bogotá, Colombia and houses all of its raw materials and finished products at its 300 square meters warehouse in Bogotá, Colombia.  Cromoned has an administrative office adjacent to its warehouse.  Other than the warehouse, Cronomed does not have any distribution point.  Additionally, Cromoned has an administrative office adjacent to its warehouse.  Cronomed leases the warehouse and the administrative office from the Inversiones Montearroyo Asociados S.A.S. (“Inversiones”).

Cronomed entered into a lease agreement (the “Cronomed Lease”) with Inversiones on April 24, 2019.  Pursuant to the Cronomed Lease, Inversiones has agreed to lease Cronomed an industrial storage facility for a term of five years, beginning on October 1, 2019 and ending October 1, 2024, for a monthly rent of COP$10,500.  The storage facility consists of two parcels, totaling the surface of 700 square meters.  Cronomed is granted an option to purchase in the Cronomed Lease.

Breeze Laboratory
Breeze Laboratory does the manufacturing and packaging of Flora Beauty’s products for distribution in Colombia and the United States, pursuant to a Residential House Lease Agreement dated January 26, 2021 entered into with Luz Elvira Garzon (the “Breeze Lease”).  The term of the Breeze lease is one year, subject to renewals as set forth therein, for a monthly rent of COP$1,500,000. Due to the growth of the business, Breeze is currently negotiating the acquisition of a GMP-C certified laboratory to increase its production capacity and to be able to service international markets in the future.
Hemp Textiles Store
Hemp Textiles opened its first brick and mortar retail store to sell its Stardog Loungewear products in Bogotá, Colombia in December 2020, pursuant to a Commercial Lease Agreement (the “Hemp Textiles Lease”) with Piedad Franco Crespo.  The term of the Hemp Textiles Lease is two months, subject to renewals as set forth therein, for a monthly rent of COP$6,500,000.  “Parque la Colina”, the selected location, is one of the highest traffic and retail sales generator in Colombia, owned by “Parque Arauco”, a continental leader in the malls sector.

Our Intellectual Property Portfolio

We rely on a combination of trademark, patent, copyright and trade secret protection laws in Colombia and other jurisdictions to protect our intellectual property and our brands. We have applied for, and we have received approvals from INVIMA, for our beauty and skincare, pharmaceutical, loungewear, and food and beverage products.  See Regulation of our Industry.” The following tables summarize such approvals and certificates.

REGULATION OF OUR INDUSTRY
Regulatory Framework in the United States

Packaging, Labeling and Advertising

The processing, formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising and distribution of our products are subject to federal laws and regulation by one or more federal agencies, including the FDA, the FTC, HHS, the USDA and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”). These activities are also regulated by various state, local and international laws and agencies of the states and localities in which our products are sold. Regulations may prevent or delay the introduction, or require the reformulation, of our products, which could result in lost sales and increased costs to the Company. A regulatory agency may not accept the evidence of safety for any new ingredients that we may want to market, or may determine that a particular product or product ingredient presents an unacceptable health risk. Regulatory agencies may also determine that a particular statement of nutritional support on our products, or a statement that we want to use on our products, is an unacceptable drug claim or an unauthorized version of a food “health claim,” or that particular claims are not adequately supported by available scientific evidence. Any such regulatory determination could prevent us from marketing particular products or using certain statements on those products, which could adversely affect our sales and results of operations.

Developments in the laws and regulations governing our products may result in a more stringent regulatory landscape, which could require reformulation of certain products to meet new standards, recalls or discontinuance of certain products that we are unable to reformulate, additional record-keeping requirements, increased documentation of the properties of certain products, additional or different labeling requirements, additional scientific substantiation requirements, and other requirements or restrictions. Such developments could increase our costs significantly, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Cannabis for Medical Purposes

The United States healthcare industry is heavily regulated and closely scrutinized by federal, state and local governments. Comprehensive statutes and regulations govern the manner in which we will provide and bill for telehealth services, our contractual relationships with our providers, vendors and clients, our marketing activities, and other aspects of our planned operations. Of particular importance are:

The federal physician self-referral law, commonly known as the Stark Law, that generally prohibits physicians from referring Medicare or Medicaid patients to an entity for the provision of certain “designated health services” if the physician or a member of such physician’s immediate family has a direct or indirect financial relationship (including an ownership interest or a compensation arrangement) with the entity, and prohibit the entity from billing Medicare or Medicaid for such designated health services.
89

The federal Anti-Kickback Statute that prohibits the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any bribe, kickback, rebate or other remuneration for referring an individual, in return for ordering, leasing, purchasing or recommending or arranging for, or to induce the referral of an individual or the ordering, purchasing or leasing of items or services covered, in whole or in part, by any federal healthcare program, such as Medicare and Medicaid. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act.
The criminal healthcare fraud provisions of the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”), and their implementing regulations (collectively, “HIPAA”), and related rules which prohibit knowingly and willfully executing a scheme or artifice to defraud any healthcare benefit program or falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any material false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. Similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation.
The federal False Claims Act, which imposes civil and criminal liability on individuals or entities that knowingly submit false or fraudulent claims for payment to the government or knowingly make, or cause to be made, a false statement in order to have a false claim paid, including qui tam or whistleblower suits.
Reassignment of payment rules which prohibit certain types of billing and collection practices in connection with claims payable by the Medicare or Medicaid programs.
Similar state law provisions pertaining to anti-kickback, self-referral and false claims issues.
State laws that prohibit general business corporations, such as us, from practicing medicine, controlling physicians’ medical decisions, or engaging in certain practices such as splitting fees with physicians.
Laws that regulate debt collection practices as applied to our debt collection practices.
Certain provisions of the Social Security Act that impose criminal penalties on healthcare providers who fail to disclose, or refund known overpayments.
Federal and state laws that prohibit providers from billing and receiving payment from Medicare and Medicaid for services unless the services are medically necessary, adequately and accurately documented, and billed using codes that accurately reflect the type and level of services rendered.
Federal and state laws and policies that require healthcare providers to maintain licensure, certification or accreditation to enroll and participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, and to report certain changes in their operations to the agencies that administer these programs.
90

Failure to comply with these laws and other laws can result in civil and criminal penalties such as fines, damages, overpayment, recoupment, imprisonment, loss of enrollment status and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The risk of our being found in violation of these laws and regulations is increased by the fact that many of them have not been fully interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, and their provisions are sometimes open to a variety of interpretations. Our failure to accurately anticipate the application of these laws and regulations to our business or any other failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could impose liability on us and negatively affect our business. Any action against us for violation of these laws or regulations could cause us to incur significant legal expenses, divert our management’s attention from business operations, and result in adverse publicity.
​​
The laws, regulations and standards governing the provision of healthcare services may change significantly in the future. We cannot assure you that any new or changed healthcare laws, regulations or standards will not materially adversely affect our planned telehealth services business.

Regulatory Framework in Colombia

Our cultivation operations are in Colombia and are carried out through Cosechemos. As a cultivator of non-psychoactive cannabis and manufacturer of cannabis derivatives, the Company is substantially dependent on the licenses for cultivation, production and other regulatory activities, granted to Cosechemos.

Over the past 50 years, Colombia developed comprehensive regulation that took a hardline approach to narcotics and trafficking in response to the growing influence of international treaties and the efforts of governments to coordinate their drug policies. In the mid-1990s, Colombia decriminalized personal possession and consumption of cannabis under Judgment C-221 of 1994 of the Constitutional Court. While this represented a shift in approach by Colombian lawmakers, a constitutional amendment in 2009 reversed the effects of Judgment C-221 of 1994 and reinstated the prohibition on personal possession and consumption of narcotic or psychotropic substances, even on a personal dose basis, unless supported by a medical prescription.

Despite the constitutional amendment in 2009, Colombian cannabis legislation trended towards a preventative and rehabilitative approach. The Colombian Constitutional Court, through rulings SU-642 of 1998 and C-336 of 2008, among others, established that the right to the free development of personality, also known as the right to autonomy and personal identity, grants individuals the right to self-determination, the freedom and independence to govern his/her own existence and determine a lifestyle according to his/her own interests; provided, that the rights of others and the constitutional order are respected.

In January 2013, the Advisory Commission on Drug Policy (the “Drug Policy Commission”) was established to provide recommendations on how legislation should treat criminal networks and citizen drug users, as well as the quantities to be considered as suitable personal amounts. In July 2014, the Drug Policy Commission issued an initial report submitted to the Ministry of Justice analyzing the conditions of drug use in Colombia and proposing guidelines to update the policy.

In May 2015, the Drug Policy Commission published its final report, which proposed a review of the drug policy in the country and made important recommendations, such as: (i) the creation of an agency for drug policy; (ii) measures to help reduce the risk to consumers; (iii) to rethink the fumigation involved with cultivation; (iv) regulation of medicinal cannabis; (v) alternative means to measure the success of policies against drugs; (vi) modernize the National Statute on Drugs and Psychoactive Substances; and (vii) to lead the global drug policy debate.

As a result of the final report of the Drug Policy Commission, the Colombian President approved and sanctioned Law 1787 of 2016 to regulate the use of cannabis for therapeutic purposes. The law, marked a new direction in the legislative approach to drugs. Law 1787 amended articles 375, 376 and 377 of the Colombian Criminal Code (the “Criminal Code”) to remove sanctions against the medical and scientific use of cannabis used under a license granted by the relevant authorities. This amendment was required given that the Criminal Code expressly provided a general prohibition to the cultivation, conservation or financing of marijuana plantations among other related activities.

The following table summarizes regulations applicable to the cultivation, fabrication, import, export and use of cannabis in Colombia.

Licenses

The Ministries of Health, Justice and Agriculture issued Decree 613 of 2017 to define the licenses that can be granted with respect to permissible activities related to medical cannabis that include: (i) the production of cannabis derivatives; (ii) use of seeds for sowing; (iii) planting of psychoactive cannabis plants; and (iv) planting non-psychoactive cannabis plants.

Apart from a psychoactive cannabis license, Cosechemos has obtained licenses in each of the above categories, necessary to carry out its operations. Licenses are not transferable, interchangeable, or assignable and are valid for five years and can be renewed for additional five-year periods upon request. Each of the Licenses is current and has not expired. None of the Licenses are subject to current, pending, or compromised regulatory action.

Magistral Preparations

We intend to produce a category of products known as cannabis extemporaneous (magistral) preparation, regulated by Decree 613 of 2017 and Decree 2200 of 2005. Extemporaneous (magistral) preparations are personalized prescription products that do not require a health license for the product but rather from the establishment that produces the product. As they are not mass market products, but exclusively for a patient, these must be prepared by a licensee in an establishment that complies with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards. In order to sell and distribute these medicines in Colombia, it is necessary to comply with the Guidelines for GMP certification for Extemporaneous (Magistral) Preparations with Cannabis issued on October 25, 2019 by INVIMA. We are required to operate, or have an agreement with, a laboratory that is certified in compliance with GMP for extemporaneous (magistral) preparations with cannabis. Breeze is GMP certified for cannabis compounding.

Strains registration

Cosechemos has varieties of cannabis in various stages of the registration process. Each strain, whether high or low in THC, must undergo an agronomic evaluation by the agricultural health entity - Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario (ICA). For the strains to be included in the National Registry of Cultivars, the following steps must be completed: (i) Genetic Stabilization; (ii) Agronomic Test; (iii) Phase 1 strain registry (legal document that allows the license to enter a strain in the registry); and (iv) Strain registration phase 2 (registration that allows the licensee to market any cannabis product derived from the specific strain in the registry). The harvest is also in the process of agronomic evaluation of additional strains. Based on the yields of each strain, as determined by agronomic testing, "COSECHEMOS YA" may decide to register fewer strains than available. The decision to complete the registration process of a strain will depend on several factors, from biomass yields, cannabinoid profile, average cannabinoid content, resistance to pests among others as determined by agronomic tests, and the intended uses by the company.

Cosmetic Regulations

The Company's business also includes the manufacture and marketing of cosmetics, including some with Cannabidiol (CBD) in Colombia. Cosmetic products in Colombia are regulated by regulations issued by the Andean Community of Nations.
The relevant regulations in health regulatory matters for Cosmetic Products are the following:

• Decision 516 of 2002 of the Andean Community of Nations establishes a sanitary regulation for the manufacture and commercialization of Cosmetic Products in the countries of the Andean Community (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru).

• Decree 219 of 1998, which regulates the quality and monitoring of Cosmetic Products.

• Law 9 of 1979, which establishes the general framework for health surveillance and control

In Colombia, cosmetics must undergo a registration process called Mandatory Sanitary Notification (NSO), which is supervised by INVIMA, prior to marketing. Applicable regulations establish requirements related to labeling, manufacturing facilities, and product composition. The general Colombian regulatory framework on specific cannabis issues limits the manufacture of products with cannabis derivatives with a maximum of 1% THC (psychoactive component) but that the product must demonstrate and comply with the respective international regulations with contents below 03% or 0.2% THC.

Ingredients in the list of accepted ingredients of the Personal Care Products Council (PCPC) in United States of America, Cosmetic ingredient database CosIng in the European Commission database for information on cosmetic substances and ingredients contained the European Cosmetic  are permitted in cosmetic products, including the following cannabis ingredients: Cannabis sativa Flower Extract, Cannabis sativa Flower / Leaf / Stem Extract, Cannabis Sativa Seed Extract, Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil, Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil Glycereth-8 Esters, Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil PEG-8 Esters, Cannabis Sativa Seedcake, Cannabis Sativa Seedcake Powder, Cannabis Sativa Stem Powder, Hydrolyzed Cannabis Sativa Seed Extract, Hydrolyzed Hemp Seed Extract, Cannabidiol.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To our knowledge, none of our current directors or executive officers have, during the past ten years:

Been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he or she was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;

been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;

been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;

We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, individually or in the aggregate, we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Composition of our Board of Directors

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. Contemporaneously with this offering, our Board of Directors will be composed of [five] directors. When considering whether directors have the experience, qualifications, attributes or skills, taken as a whole, to enable our Board of Directors to effectively satisfy its oversight responsibilities in light of our business and structure, the Board of Directors focuses primarily on each person’s background and experience as reflected in the information discussed in the directors’ respective biographies set forth above. We believe that our directors provide an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant to the size and nature of our business.

Corporate Governance Practices

We are a “foreign private issuer” under the federal securities laws of the United States and the NASDAQ listing standards. Under the federal securities laws of the United States, foreign private issuers are subject to different disclosure requirements than U.S.-domiciled registrants. We intend to take all actions necessary for us to maintain compliance as a foreign private issuer under the applicable corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules adopted by the SEC and the NASDAQ listing standards.

Under the SEC rules and the NASDAQ listing standards, a foreign private issuer is subject to less stringent corporate governance requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the SEC and the NASDAQ permit a foreign private issuer to follow its home country practice in lieu of their respective rules and listing standards. Following our home country governance practices, as opposed to the requirements that would otherwise apply to a company listed on NASDAQ, may provide less protection than is accorded to investors under the NASDAQ Rules applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.
97


The Canadian securities regulatory authorities have issued corporate governance guidelines pursuant to National Policy 58-201—Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Corporate Governance Guidelines”), together with certain related disclosure requirements pursuant to National Instrument 58-101—Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are recommended as “best practices” for issuers to follow. We recognize that good corporate governance plays an important role in our overall success and in enhancing shareholder value and, accordingly, we have adopted, or in connection with the closing of this offering will adopt, certain corporate governance policies and practices which reflect our consideration of the recommended Corporate Governance Guidelines.

In particular, as a foreign private issuer, we will follow Canadian law and corporate practice in lieu of the corporate governance provisions set out under NASDAQ Rule 5600, the requirement in Rule 5250(b)(3) to disclose third party director and nominee compensation, and the requirement in Rule 5250(d) to distribute annual and interim reports. Of particular note, the following rules under NASDAQ Rule 5600 differ from Canadian law requirements:

NASDAQ Rule 5605(b)(1) requires that at least a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors shall be independent directors, and NASDAQ Rule 5605(b)(2) requires that independent directors regularly meet in executive session, where only independent directors are present. We will have      independent directors at the time of listing, who will meet regularly with other members of the Board. We intend to appoint more independent directors after the listing over time, and they may choose to meet in executive session at their discretion.

NASDAQ Rule 5620(c) sets out a quorum requirement of 33-1/3% applicable to meetings of shareholders. In accordance with Canadian law and generally accepted business practices, our bylaws (the “Bylaws”) provide that a quorum is met when holders of not less than 10% of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting of shareholders are present in person or represented by proxy.

NASDAQ Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) requires that the Company shall have an audit committee composed entirely of not less than three directors, each of whom must be independent. We expect to have a committee of three directors, and the directors will meet the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. See “—Audit Committee” below for further detail.

NASDAQ Rule 5605(d) requires, among other things, that the Company’s compensation committee include at least two members, each of whom is an independent director as defined under such rule. Our Board of Directors will together participate in the strategic discussions and determination of directors and executive compensation and other compensation-related matters. The Company established a compensation committee of the Board effective December 16, 2020.

NASDAQ Rule 5605(e) requires that the nomination and corporate governance committee include solely of independent directors. Our Board of Directors will together participate in the nomination process and oversee the corporate governance practices of the Company. The Company established a nomination and corporate governance committee of the Board effective December 16, 2020.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

The Board oversees our business and considers the risks associated with our business strategy and decisions. The Board currently implements its risk oversight function as a whole. Each of the Board committees, when established, will also provide risk oversight in respect of its areas of concentration and reports material risks to the Board for further consideration.

Term of Office

Each of our officers holds office until his or her successor is elected and qualified. Directors are appointed to serve for one year until the meeting of the Board following the annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified.

As of the date of this prospectus, the Company has       Common Shares issued and outstanding.

Rights, Preferences and Restrictions Attaching to Our Common Shares

The Business Corporations Act (Ontario) provides the following rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to our Common Shares:

to vote at meetings of shareholders, except meetings at which only holders of a specified class of shares are entitled to vote;

subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to any other class of shares of our Company, to share equally in the remaining property of our Company on liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our Company; and

the Common Shares are entitled to receive dividends if, as, and when declared by the Board of Directors.

Shareholder Meetings

The Business Corporations Act (Ontario) provides that: (i) a general meeting of shareholders shall be held at such place in or outside Ontario as the directors determine or, in the absence of such a determination, at the place where the registered office of our Company is located; (ii) directors must call an annual meeting of shareholders not later than 18 months after the date of incorporation and no later than 15 months after the last preceding annual meeting; (iii) for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of or vote at meetings of shareholders, the directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for that determination, provided that such date shall not precede by more than 50 days or by less than 21 days, if we are a public company, otherwise 10 days, the date on which the meeting is to be held; (iv) the holders of not less than 5% of the issued shares entitled to vote at a meeting may requisition the directors to call a meeting of shareholders for the purposes stated in the requisition; (v) only shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, our directors and our auditor are entitled to be present at a meeting of shareholders; and (vi) upon the application of a director or shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting, the Superior Court of Justice may order a meeting to be called, held and conducted in a manner that the Court directs.

The Company’s Bylaws provide that a quorum is met when holders of not less than 10% of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting of shareholders are present in person or represented by proxy.

The holders of our Common Shares are entitled to attend and vote at all meetings of the shareholders of the Company.

Units

Pursuant to an offering under Tier 2 of Regulation A under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we completed an offering of 40,000,000 Units of the Company. The Regulation A Offering was qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 12, 2019.  Each Unit is comprised of one Common Share and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant to purchase one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $1.00 per whole warrant share, subject to certain adjustments, over an 18-month exercise period following the date of issuance of the warrant. The Units were offered at a purchase price of $0.75 per Unit.  The Regulation A Offering closed in December 2020 with 39,996,260 Units sold and $29,997,195 in gross proceeds raised.
108


Warrants

As of the date of this prospectus, the Company has a total of 7,000,000 founder Common Share purchase warrants issued and outstanding, which are exercisable at a price of $0.05 per share, subject to customary adjustments, over a 36-month exercise period following the date of issuance.

Pursuant to an engagement letter between Boustead Securities, LLC (“Boustead”) and the Company, dated as of September 8, 2020, Boustead is entitled to receive warrants in connection with the closing of certain debt financing transactions between Boustead and the Company. Such warrants shall be for the purchase of a number of Common Shares equal to 4.0% of the gross proceeds from each such debt financing transaction, divided by the price per share paid by investors in the Company’s most recent financing.

Fully Paid and Non-assessable

All outstanding Common Shares are, and the Common Shares to be outstanding upon completion of this offering will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Resale Restrictions

The Regulation A Offering shares are not restricted but subject to Rule 251 limitations.

The Common Shares and Warrants will be separately transferable following the termination of any transfer hold periods under applicable law.

Purchasers under this offering should consult with their own professional advisers with respect to restrictions on the transferability of the securities offered hereunder.

Penny Stock Regulation

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As our Common Shares immediately following this offering may be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Common Shares in the secondary market.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

In accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company, subject to certain conditions, the Company shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or another individual who acts or acted at the Company’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including any amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Company or other entity. We shall advance monies to a director, officer or other individual for costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such a proceeding; provided that such individual shall repay the moneys if the individual does not fulfill the conditions described below or is not successful on the merits in their defense of the action or proceeding. Indemnification is prohibited unless the individual:
109


Acted honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests;
In the case of a criminal or administration action or proceeding enforced by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds to believe the conduct was lawful; and
Was not judged by a court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done.

Registration Rights

All transfers of securities of the Company shall be made in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and the Securities Transfer Act.  Subject to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and the Securities Transfer Act, no transfer of shares represented by a security certificate (as defined in the Business Corporations Act (Ontario)) shall be registered in a securities register except upon presentation of the certificate representing such shares with an endorsement which complies with the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and the Securities Transfer Act made thereon or delivered therewith duly executed by an appropriate person as provided by the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and the Securities Transfer Act, together with such reasonable assurance that the endorsement is genuine and effective as the Board may from time to time prescribe, upon payment of all applicable taxes and any fees prescribed by the Board, upon compliance with such restrictions on transfer as are authorized by the articles and upon satisfaction of certain liens enumerated in the Bylaws.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Shares is TSX Trust Company.

Listing

We are in the processing of filing a listing application with NASDAQ and intend to list our Common Shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “FLGC.”  We expect, as an alternative reporting company, to qualify our Common Shares for listing on NASDAQ in the discretion of the Board of Directors.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Prior to this offering, there has been no market for our Common Shares. Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Shares in the public market or the perception that such sales might occur could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. Furthermore, because only a limited number of shares will be available for sale shortly after this offering due to existing contractual and legal restrictions on resale as described below, there may be sales of substantial amounts of our Common Shares in the public market after the restrictions lapse. This may adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Common Shares and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

After completion of this offering, we will have            shares of Common Shares outstanding (or         shares if the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full).
 
All of the shares of Common Shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act, unless the shares are purchased by our “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 and except certain shares that will be subject to the lock-up period described below after completion of this offering. Any shares owned by our affiliates may not be resold except in compliance with Rule 144 volume limitations, manner of sale and notice requirements, pursuant to another applicable exemption from registration or pursuant to an effective registration statement.
 
Any of the shares held by our directors, officers and holders of at least ●% of our outstanding securities will be subject to ●-day lock-up restriction described under “Underwriting.” Accordingly, there will be a corresponding increase in the number of shares that become eligible for sale after the lock-up period expires. As a result of these agreements, subject to the provisions of Rule 144 or Rule 701, shares will be available for sale in the public market as follows:
 
 
beginning on the date of this prospectus, all of the shares sold in this offering will be immediately available for sale in the public market (except as described above);
 
beginning  ●  days after the date of this prospectus, at the expiration of the lock-up period for our officers, directors and holders of at least ●% of our outstanding securities,      additional shares will become eligible for sale in the public market, all of which shares will be held by affiliates and subject to the volume and other restrictions of Rule 144 and Rule 701 as described below.
 
Lock-Up Agreements
 
Pursuant to certain “lock-up” agreements, we, our executive officers, directors and holders of at least ●% of outstanding shares of our Common Shares and securities exercisable for or convertible into our Common Shares outstanding immediately upon the closing of this offering, have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of or announce the intention to otherwise dispose of, or enter into any swap, hedge or similar agreement or arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of, directly or indirectly, engage in any short selling of any Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Common Shares, whether currently owned or subsequently acquired, without the prior written consent of the underwriters, for a period of ● days from the date of effectiveness of the offering.
 
The lock-up period described in the preceding paragraph will be automatically extended if: (1) during the last ● days of the restricted period, we issue an earnings release or announce material news or a material event; or (2) prior to the expiration of the lock-up period, we announce that we will release earnings results during the ●-day period beginning on the last day of the lock-up period, in which case the restrictions described in the preceding paragraph will continue to apply until the expiration of the ●-day period beginning on the date of the earnings release, unless the underwriters waive this extension in writing; provided, however, that this lock-up period extension shall not apply to the extent that FINRA has amended or repealed NASD Rule 2711(f)(4), or has otherwise provided written interpretive guidance regarding such rule, in each case, so as to eliminate the prohibition of any broker, dealer, or member of a national securities association from publishing or distributing any research report, with respect to the securities of an emerging growth company (as defined in the JOBS Act) prior to or after the expiration of any agreement between the broker, dealer, or member of a national securities association and the emerging growth company or its stockholders that restricts or prohibits the sale of securities held by the emerging growth company or its stockholders after an initial public offering date. 
111

 
Rule 144
 
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, once we have been subject to public company reporting requirements for at least 90 days, a person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates for purposes of the Securities Act at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than our affiliates, is entitled to sell those shares without complying with the manner of sale, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144, subject to compliance with the public information requirements of Rule 144. If such a person has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than our affiliates, then that person would be entitled to sell those shares without complying with any of the requirements of Rule 144.
 
In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, our affiliates or persons selling shares on behalf of our affiliates are entitled to sell upon expiration of the lock-up agreements described above, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:
 
 
1% of the number of shares of our Common Shares then outstanding, which will equal approximately shares immediately after this offering; or
 
 
 
 
the average weekly trading volume of our Common Shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to that sale.
 
Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates or persons selling shares on behalf of our affiliates are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.
 
Rule 701
 
Rule 701 generally allows a stockholder who purchased shares of our Common Shares pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been our affiliate during the immediately preceding 90 days to sell these shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. Rule 701 also permits our affiliates to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required by that rule to wait until 90 days after the date of this prospectus before selling those shares pursuant to Rule 701 and are subject to the lock-up agreements described above.

THE DISCUSSION ABOVE IS A GENERAL SUMMARY.  IT DOES NOT COVER ALL MATTERS RELATING TO SHARE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS THAT MAY BE OF IMPORTANCE TO A PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR.  EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN LEGAL ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR SECURITIES LAWS AND TRANSFER RESTRICTION CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, HOLDING, AND DISPOSING OF OUR COMMON SHARES OR THE COMMON SHARES, INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAWS.
112

CERTAIN TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to the ownership or disposition of our Common Shares, including the Common Shares.  You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences that may arise under the laws of any local, state, foreign, including Canada and Colombia, or other taxing jurisdiction.
Taxation in Canada
The following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder (the “Tax Act”) generally applicable to the acquisition, holding and disposition of the Common Shares by a holder who acquires, as beneficial owner, the Common Shares pursuant to the offering and who, for purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, holds the Common Shares as capital property, deals at arm’s length with the Company and each underwriter and is not affiliated with the Company or any underwriter (a “Holder”). Generally, the Common Shares will be considered to be capital property to a Holder provided the Holder does not acquire or hold the Common Shares in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities and has not acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

This summary does not apply to a Holder (i) that is a “financial institution” for the purposes of the mark-to-market rules contained in the Tax Act; (ii) that is a “specified financial institution” as defined in the Tax Act; (iii), an interest in which would be a “tax shelter investment” as defined in the Tax Act; (iv) that has made a functional currency reporting election under the Tax Act to report in a currency other than the Canadian currency; or (v) that has or will enter into a “derivative forward agreement”,  a “synthetic disposition arrangement” or a “dividend rental arrangement”, each as defined under the Tax Act, with respect to the Common Shares. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to an investment in the Common Shares.

Additional considerations, not discussed herein, may be applicable to a Holder that is a corporation resident in Canada, and that is or becomes, or does not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act with a corporation resident in Canada that is or becomes, as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the acquisition of the Common Shares, controlled by a non-resident person or group of non-resident persons not dealing with each other at arm’s length for purposes of the “foreign affiliate dumping” rules in section 212.3 of the Tax Act.  Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the possible application of these rules.

In addition, this summary does not address the deductibility of interest by a Holder who has borrowed money or otherwise incurred debt in connection with the acquisition of the Common Shares.

This summary is based upon the provisions of the Tax Act in force as of the date hereof, all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act that have been publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”) and counsel’s understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) made publicly available prior to the date hereof. This summary assumes the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed, however, no assurance can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed, if at all. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and, except for the Proposed Amendments, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law or the administrative policies or assessing practices of the CRA, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial action or decision, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax considerations, which may differ significantly from those discussed herein.

Subject to certain exceptions that are not discussed in this summary, for the purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of Common Shares, including dividends, must be determined in Canadian dollars using the relevant exchange rate determined in accordance with the Tax Act.
113


This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular holder or prospective holder of the Common Shares, and no representations with respect to the income tax consequences to any holder or prospective holder are made. Consequently, holders and prospective holders of the Common Shares should consult their own tax advisors for advice with respect to the tax consequences to them of acquiring the Common Shares, having regard to their particular circumstances.

Holders Resident in Canada

This portion of the summary applies to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention, is or is deemed to be resident in Canada (a “Resident Holder”).

Certain Resident Holders who might not otherwise be considered to hold their Common Shares as capital property may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to have the Common Shares, and all other “Canadian securities” (as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such Resident Holders in the taxation year of the election and any subsequent taxation year, treated as capital property by making the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability or advisability of this election.

Dividends on the Common Shares

Dividends received or deemed to be received on the Common Shares by a Resident Holder who is an individual (other than certain trusts) will generally be included in the individual’s income and will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules applicable to taxable dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations, including the enhanced dividend tax credit rules applicable to any dividends designated by the Company as “eligible dividends” in accordance with the Tax Act. There may be limitations on the ability of the Company to designate dividends as “eligible dividends.”

In the case of a Resident Holder that is a corporation, the amount of any such taxable dividend that is included in its income for a taxation year will generally also be deductible in computing its taxable income for that taxation year. In certain circumstances, a dividend received or deemed to be received by a Resident Holder that is a corporation may be deemed to be proceeds of disposition or a capital gain pursuant to subsection 55(2) of the Tax Act. Resident Holders that are corporations should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own particular circumstances.

A Resident Holder that is a “private corporation” or a “subject corporation”, each as defined in the Tax Act will generally be liable to pay a refundable tax under Part IV of the Tax Act on dividends received or deemed to be received on the Common Shares to the extent such dividends are deductible in computing its taxable income for the taxation year. Such additional tax may be refundable in certain circumstances.

114

Dispositions of Common Shares

Upon a disposition (or a deemed disposition) of a Common Share, a Resident Holder generally will realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition of such Common Share, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, are greater (or are less) than the adjusted cost base of such Common Share to the Resident Holder.

The adjusted cost base to a Resident Holder of Common Shares acquired hereunder will be determined by averaging the cost of such Common Shares to the Resident Holder with the adjusted cost base of all other Common Shares, if any, held by the Resident Holder as capital property immediately before the acquisition.

Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses

Generally, one-half of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year must be included in the Resident Holder’s income for the year and one-half of any capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year must be deducted from taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in that year. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains realized in a taxation year generally may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized in such years, to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act.

The amount of any capital loss realized by a Resident Holder that is a corporation on the disposition of a Common Share may be reduced by the amount of dividends received or deemed to be received by it on such Common Share, to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where a Common Share is owned by a partnership or trust of which a corporation, trust or partnership is a member or beneficiary. Resident Holders to whom these rules may be relevant should consult their own tax advisors.

Aggregate Investment Income

A Resident Holder that is, throughout the relevant taxation year, a “Canadian-controlled private corporation”, as defined in the Tax Act, may be liable to pay a refundable tax on its “aggregate investment income”, which is defined in the Tax Act to include an amount in respect of taxable capital gains and dividends or deemed dividends that are not deductible in computing such corporation’s income.

Alternative Minimum Tax

Capital gains realized and dividends received or deemed to be received by an individual (including certain trusts) may give rise to liability for alternative minimum tax as calculated under the detailed rules set out in the Tax Act. Resident Holders who are individuals should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

Holders Not Resident in Canada

This portion of the summary applies to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention (i) is neither resident nor deemed to be resident in Canada, and (ii) does not, and is not deemed to, use or hold the Common Shares in a business carried on in Canada (a “Non-Resident Holder”). In addition, this portion of the summary does not apply to an insurer who carries on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or an “authorized foreign bank” (as defined in the Tax Act) and such Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

Dividends on the Common Shares

Any dividends paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, on the Common Shares, as the case may be, to a Non-Resident Holder will generally be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% of the gross amount of the dividend, subject to any reduction in the rate of withholding to which that Non-Resident Holder may be entitled under an applicable income tax treaty or convention. For instance, where the Non-Resident Holder is a resident of the United States that is entitled to applicable benefits under the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended, and is the beneficial owner of the dividends, the rate of Canadian withholding tax applicable to dividends is generally reduced to 15%. The rate of withholding tax is generally further reduced to 5% if the beneficial owner of such dividend is a company that owns, directly or indirectly, at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company. Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine their entitlement to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention.
115


Disposition of the Common Shares

A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized by such Non-Resident Holder on a disposition of a Common Share unless such share constitutes “taxable Canadian property” (as defined in the Tax Act) of the Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention.

Generally, the Common Shares will not constitute “taxable Canadian property” of a Non-Resident Holder at any particular time provided that the Common Shares are then listed on a “designated stock exchange” for the purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes the NASDAQ), unless at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding such time: (i) at least 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Company were owned by or belonged to any combination of (x) the Non-Resident Holder, (y) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length (for the purposes of the Tax Act), and (z) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (y) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships; and (ii) more than 50% of the fair market value of such shares was derived directly or indirectly from one, or any combination of, real or immovable property situated in Canada, Canadian resource property (as defined in the Tax Act), timber resource property (as defined in the Tax Act) or options in respect of, interests in or for civil law rights in, any such property (whether or not such property exists). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Common Shares may also be deemed to be “taxable Canadian property” in certain circumstances.

In cases where a Non-Resident Holder disposes (or is deemed to have disposed) of a Common Share that is “taxable Canadian property” to that Non-Resident Holder, and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to an exemption under an applicable income tax treaty or convention, the consequences described above under the headings “Holders Resident in Canada – Dispositions of Common Shares” and “Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” will generally be applicable to such disposition. Non-Resident Holders for whom a Common Share is, or may be, “taxable Canadian property” should consult their own tax advisors.

Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following discussion is a general summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations with respect to the ownership and disposition of shares of our Common Shares. This summary is based on current U.S. federal income tax laws (including provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative rulings and court decisions, all in effect as of the date hereof), all of which are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect.
 
For purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of one or more of our Common Shares:
 

(a)
that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes one of the following:

(i)
an individual citizen or resident of the United States, including individuals treated as residents of the United States solely for tax purposes,

(ii)
a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof,

(iii)
an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or

(iv)
a trust if (1) a court within the United States can exercise primary supervision over it, and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person;
This discussion applies only to a U.S. Holder that holds Common Shares as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). Unless otherwise provided, this summary does not discuss reporting requirements. In addition, this discussion does not address any tax consequences other than U.S. federal income tax consequences, such as U.S. state and local tax consequences, U.S. estate and gift tax consequences, and non-U.S. tax consequences, and does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant in light of a U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, including alternative minimum tax consequences, the net investment income tax, and tax consequences to holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including, but not limited to, holders that:
116

are tax exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax deferred accounts;

are financial institutions, underwriters, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies;

are brokers or dealers in securities or currencies or holders that are traders in securities that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method;

have a “functional currency” for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is not the U.S. dollar;

own Common Shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position;

acquire Common Shares in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services;

are partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or investors in such partnerships and entities);

are required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to the Common Shares as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;

own or will own (directly, indirectly, or constructively) 10% or more of our total combined voting power or value;

are controlled foreign corporations;

are passive foreign investment companies;

hold the Common Shares in connection with trade or business conducted outside of the United States or in connection with a permanent establishment or other fixed place of business outside of the United States; or

are former U.S. citizens or former long-term residents of the United States.

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds shares of our securities, the tax treatment of a person treated as a partner for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Persons that for U.S. federal income tax purposes are treated as a partner in a partnership holding shares of our securities should consult their tax advisors.

We have not sought, and do not expect to seek, a ruling from the United States Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), as to any United States federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.

Except as otherwise noted, this summary assumes that the Company (nor any of its subsidiaries) is not a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A non-U.S. entity’s possible status as a PFIC must be determined annually and therefore may be subject to change. If the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) were to be a PFIC in any year, materially adverse consequences could result for U.S. Holders.

All prospective investors should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local, non-U.S. income and other tax considerations of acquiring, holding and disposing of the Common Shares.
 
THIS SUMMARY IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF ALL TAX CONSEQUENCES RELATING TO THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON SHARES. WE RECOMMEND THAT PROSPECTIVE HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON SHARES CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM (INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF ANY FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S. INCOME AND OTHER TAX LAWS) OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON SHARES.
117


U.S. Holders

Taxation of Distributions to U.S. Holders

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in gross income, in accordance with such U.S. Holder’s method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes, as dividends the amount of any distribution of cash or other property (other than certain distributions of the Company’s shares or rights to acquire the Company’s shares) paid on the Company’s Common Shares to the extent the distribution is paid out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under United States federal income tax principles). Distributions in excess of such earnings and profits generally will be applied against and reduce the U.S. Holder’s basis in its Common Shares (but not below zero) and, to the extent in excess of such basis, will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such Common Shares (the treatment of which is described under “—Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares to U.S. Holders” below). Because we do not intend to determine our earnings and profits on the basis of U.S. federal income tax principles, we expect that distributions, if issued, will generally be reported to U.S. Holders as dividends.

Dividends paid by us will be taxable to a corporate U.S. Holder at regular rates and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to domestic corporations in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations. With respect to individuals and other non-corporate U.S. Holders, dividends generally will be taxed at the lower applicable long-term capital gains rate (see “—Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares to U.S. Holders” below) applicable to “qualified dividend income,” provided that certain conditions are satisfied, including that (1) our Common Shares on which the dividends are paid are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or the Company is eligible for the benefits of the U.S.-Canada income tax treaty (the “Treaty”), (2) we are not a PFIC (nor treated as such with respect to a U.S. Holder) at the time the dividend was paid or in the previous year, and (3) certain other requirements are met. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of such lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our Common Shares.

For U.S. foreign tax credit purposes, dividends paid on our Common Shares generally will be treated as foreign source income and generally will constitute passive category income. The amount of a dividend will include any amounts withheld by us in respect of Canadian income taxes. Subject to applicable limitations, some of which vary depending upon the U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, Canadian income taxes withheld from dividends on the Common Shares, at a rate not exceeding any reduced rate pursuant to the Treaty, will be creditable against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. In lieu of claiming a foreign tax credit, U.S. Holders may, at their election, deduct foreign taxes, including any Canadian income taxes, in computing their taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. law. An election to deduct foreign taxes instead of claiming foreign tax credits applies to all foreign taxes paid or accrued in the taxable year. The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex and U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the creditability or deductibility of foreign taxes in their particular circumstances.

The amount of any dividend paid in Canadian dollars will equal the U.S. dollar value of the Canadian dollars received, calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the dividend is received by you, in the case of Common Shares, regardless of whether the Canadian dollars are converted into U.S. dollars. If the Canadian dollars received as a dividend are converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder generally will not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. If the Canadian dollars received as a dividend are not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a basis in the Canadian dollars equal to their U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss realized on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the Canadian dollar will be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss.

118

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares to U.S. Holders

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of our Common Shares. The amount of gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on a sale or other taxable disposition generally will be equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Common Shares so disposed of. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Common Shares generally will equal the U.S. Holder’s acquisition cost reduced by any prior distributions treated as a return of capital.

Any capital gain or loss recognized generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for such Common Shares exceeds one year. Long-term capital gain realized by a non-corporate U.S. Holder may be taxed at rates of taxation lower than the rates applicable to ordinary income and short-term capital gains, while short-term capital gains are subject to U.S. federal income tax at the rates applicable to ordinary income. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to various limitations.
Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder will generally be U.S. source gain or loss for foreign tax credit purposes. Consequently, a U.S. Holder may not be able to use the foreign tax credit arising from any non-U.S. tax imposed on the disposition of the Common Shares unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from non-U.S. sources.

Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”) Rules

A non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year (ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year), including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of assets giving rise to passive income.

Although our PFIC status is determined annually, an initial determination that our Company is a PFIC generally will apply for subsequent years to a U.S. Holder who held Company Shares while we were a PFIC, whether or not we meet the test for PFIC status in those subsequent years. If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of our Common Shares and the U.S. Holder did not make either a timely mark-to-market election or a qualified electing fund (“QEF”) election for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Common Shares, as described below, such U.S. Holder generally will be subject to special rules with respect to (i) any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its Common Shares (which may include gain realized by reason of transfers of Common Shares that would otherwise qualify as nonrecognition transactions for United States federal income tax purposes) and (ii) any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the Common Shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Common Shares). Under these special tax rules:

the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Common Shares;
the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;
the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder without regard to the U.S. Holder’s other items of income and loss for such year; and
an additional amount equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. Holder with respect to the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. Holder.

119

In general, if we are determined to be a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may be able to avoid application of the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our Common Shares by making a timely and valid QEF election (if eligible to do so) to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as long-term capital gain) and other earnings and profits (as ordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends. A U.S. Holder generally may make a separate election to defer the payment of taxes on undistributed income inclusions under the QEF rules, but if deferred, any such taxes will be subject to an interest charge. There is no assurance that we will have timely knowledge of our status as a PFIC in the future or of the required information to be provided. We, therefore, have not determined whether, if we were to be classified as a PFIC for a taxable year, we will provide information necessary for a U.S. Holder to make a QEF election which, if available, would result in tax treatment different from (and generally less adverse than) the general tax treatment for PFICs. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should assume that they will not be able to make a QEF election with respect to the Common Shares.

Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. If the U.S. Holder makes a valid mark-to-market election for the first taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) Common Shares in us and for which we are determined to be a PFIC, such U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above in respect to its Common Shares. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income in each taxable year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of Common Shares at the end of its taxable year over its adjusted basis in its Common Shares. These amounts of ordinary income would not be eligible for the favorable tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income or long-term capital gains. The U.S. Holder also generally will recognize an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of its adjusted basis in its Common Shares over the fair market value of its Common Shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in its Common Shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of its Common Shares will be treated as ordinary income.

The mark-to-market election is available only for stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. If made, a mark-to-market election would be effective for the taxable year for which the election was made and for all subsequent taxable years unless the Common Shares ceased to qualify as “marketable stock” for purposes of the PFIC rules or the IRS consented to the revocation of the election. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a mark-to-market election in respect to our Common Shares under their particular circumstances.

If we are or become a PFIC and, at any time, have a non-U.S. subsidiary that is classified as a PFIC, U.S. Holders generally would be deemed to own a portion of the shares of such lower-tier PFIC, and generally could incur liability for the deferred tax and interest charge described above if we receive a distribution from, or dispose of all or part of our interest in, the lower-tier PFIC or the U.S. Holders otherwise were deemed to have disposed of an interest in the lower-tier PFIC. There can be no assurance that we will have timely knowledge of the status of any such lower-tier PFIC. In addition, we may not hold a controlling interest in any such lower-tier PFIC and thus there can be no assurance we will be able to cause the lower-tier PFIC to provide such required information. A mark-to-market election generally would not be available with respect to such lower-tier PFIC. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax issues raised by lower-tier PFICs.
120


A U.S. Holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. Holder, may have to file an IRS Form 8621, or any successor form, (whether or not a QEF or mark-to-market election is made) and such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department. Failure to do so, if required, will extend the statute of limitations until such required information is furnished to the IRS (potentially including with respect to items that do not relate to a U.S. Holder’s investment in Common Shares).

The rules dealing with PFICs and with the QEF and mark-to-market elections are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, U.S. Holders of our Common Shares should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to our Common Shares under their particular circumstances.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments of dividends or sales proceeds that are made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, unless (i) the U.S. Holder is a corporation or other exempt recipient, or (ii) in the case of backup withholding, the U.S. Holder provides a correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and certifies that it is not subject to backup withholding.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS in a timely manner. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the information reporting and backup withholding rules in their particular circumstances and the availability of and procedures for obtaining an exemption from backup withholding.

Reporting Obligations for Certain Owners of Foreign Financial Assets

Certain U.S. Holders may be required to file an IRS Form 926 (Return by a U.S. Transferor of Property to a Foreign Corporation) to report a transfer of property (including cash) to us. Substantial penalties may be imposed on a U.S. Holder that fails to comply with this reporting requirement, and the period of limitations on assessment and collection of United States federal income taxes will be extended in the event of a failure to comply. Furthermore, certain U.S. Holders who are individuals and certain entities will be required to report information with respect to such U.S. Holder’s investment in “specified foreign financial assets” on IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets), subject to certain exceptions. Specified foreign financial assets generally include any financial account maintained with a non-U.S. financial institution and should also include the Common Shares if they are not held in an account maintained with a U.S. financial institution. Persons who are required to report specified foreign financial assets and fail to do so may be subject to substantial penalties, and the period of limitations on assessment and collection of United States federal income taxes may be extended in the event of a failure to comply. Potential investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the foreign financial asset and other reporting obligations and their application to an investment in our Common Shares.

The discussion of reporting obligations set forth above is not intended to constitute an exhaustive description of all reporting obligations that may apply to a U.S. Holder. A failure to satisfy certain reporting obligations may result in an extension of the period during which the IRS can assess a tax, and under certain circumstances, such an extension may apply to assessments of amounts unrelated to any unsatisfied reporting obligation. Penalties for failure to comply with these reporting obligations are substantial. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding their reporting obligations under these rules, including the requirement to file an IRS Form 8938.
121


Non-U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “Non-U.S. Holder.” As used herein, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our Common Shares that is for United States federal income tax purposes that is not a U.S. Holder, as defined above.

Taxation of Distributions to Non-U.S. Holders

A Non-U.S. Holder of our Common Shares will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on dividends received on our Common Shares, unless such income is effectively connected with the conduct by the holder of a U.S. trade or business.

Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated as first reducing the adjusted basis in the Non-U.S. Holder’s shares of our Common Shares and, to the extent it exceeds the adjusted basis in the Non-U.S. Holder’s shares of our Common Shares, as gain from the sale or exchange of such shares. Any such gain will be subject to the treatment described below under “—Gain on Sale or Other Disposition of our Common Shares to Non-U.S. Holders”.

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares to Non-U.S. Holders

A Non-U.S. Holder of our Common Shares will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on gain realized on the sale or other taxable disposition of our Common Shares of Common Shares, unless: such gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the holder of a U.S. trade or business; or in the case of gain realized by an individual holder, the holder is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale and certain other conditions are met.

ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT
Provided the Common Shares acquired by investors pursuant to this offering are listed on a “designated stock exchange” for purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes the NASDAQ) on the closing date, the Common Shares would, if issued on such date, be a “qualified investment” under the Tax Act for a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan, a registered retirement income fund, a registered education savings plan, a registered disability savings plan, a tax-free savings account (collectively, “Registered Plans”) or a deferred profit sharing plan (“DPSP”). 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the annuitant, holder or subscriber of or under a Registered Plan, as the case may be, that holds Common Shares will be subject to a penalty tax if such securities are a "prohibited investment" for the purposes of the Tax Act. Common Shares will not be a "prohibited investment" for a Registered Plan provided the annuitant, holder, or subscriber of or under such Registered Plan, as the case may be, deals at arm's length with Company for purposes of the Tax Act and does not have a "significant interest" (as defined in the Tax Act) in the Company. In addition, the Common Shares will generally not be a "prohibited investment" if such Common Shares are "excluded property" for purposes of the prohibited investment rules. 
Prospective investors who intend to hold the Common Shares in Registered Plans or a DPSP should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their particular circumstances.
122

UNDERWRITING
We expect to enter an underwriting agreement with Boustead Securities, LLC (who we refer to as the Representative), as representative of the underwriters named in this prospectus, with respect to the Common Shares in this offering. Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, the Representative will agree to purchase from us on a firm commitment basis the respective number of Common Shares at the public price less the underwriting discounts set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and each of the underwriters has severally agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell to the underwriters, the number of Common Shares listed next to its name in the following table. 
 
Underwriters

Boustead Securities, LLC

The Common Shares sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. Any Common Shares sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the initial public offering price not to exceed $       per share. If all of the shares are not sold at the initial offering price, the Representative may change the offering price and the other selling terms. The Representative has advised us that the underwriters do not intend to make sales to discretionary accounts.
 
If the underwriters sell more Common Shares than the total number set forth in the table above, we have granted to the Representative an option, exercisable for 45 days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to            additional Common Shares at the public offering price less the underwriting discount, constituting 15% of the total number of Common Shares to be offered in this offering (excluding shares subject to this option). The Representative may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments in connection with this offering. This offering is being conducted on a firm commitment basis.  Any Common Shares issued or sold under the option will be issued and sold on the same terms and conditions as the other Common Shares that are the subject of this offering.
 
In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares in the open market. Purchases and sales in the open market may include short sales, purchases to cover short positions, which may include purchases pursuant to the over-allotment option, and stabilizing purchases.
 
 
Short sales involve secondary market sales by an underwriter of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering.
 
 
 
 
“Covered” short sales are sales of shares in an amount up to the number of shares represented by the over-allotment option.
 
 
 
 
“Naked” short sales are sales of shares in an amount in excess of the number of shares represented by the over-allotment option.
 
 
 

123

 
Covering transactions involve purchases of shares either pursuant to the over-allotment option or in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover short positions.
 
 
 
 
To close a naked short position, an underwriter must purchase shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed.  A naked short position is more likely to be created if an underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
 
 
 
 
To close a covered short position, an underwriter must purchase shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed or must exercise the over-allotment option. In determining the source of shares to close the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option.
 
 
 
 
Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase shares so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.
 
Purchases to cover short positions and stabilizing purchases, as well as other purchases by an underwriter for its own account, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Common Shares. They may also cause the price of the Common Shares to be higher than the price that would otherwise exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. If the underwriters commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any time. 
 
Discounts and Expenses

Does not include (i) the warrant to purchase Common Shares equal to 7% of the number of shares sold in the offering, (ii) a 1% non-accountable expense allowance or (iii) amounts representing reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses, each as described below.

We have agreed to issue warrants to the Representative to purchase a number of Common Shares equal to 7% of the total number of shares sold in this offering at an exercise price equal to 110% of the public offering price of the shares sold in this offering. The underwriters’ warrants will be exercisable upon issuance, will have a cashless exercise provision and will terminate on the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The underwriters’ warrants are not exercisable or convertible for more than five years from the commencement of sales of the public offering. The underwriters’ warrants also provide for customary anti-dilution provisions and immediate “piggyback” registration rights with respect to the registration of the Common Shares underlying the warrants for a period of seven years from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We have registered the underwriters’ warrants and the shares underlying the underwriters’ warrants in this offering.
124

 
The underwriters’ warrant and the underlying shares may be deemed to be compensation by FINRA, and therefore will be subject to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), neither the underwriters’ warrant nor any of our Common Shares issued upon exercise of the underwriters’ warrants may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of such securities by any person, for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement pursuant to which the underwriters’ warrant is being issued, subject to certain exceptions. The underwriters’ warrant to be received by the Representative and related persons in connection with this offering: (i) fully comply with lock-up restrictions pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1); and (ii) fully comply with transfer restrictions pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2).
 
We have agreed to pay the Representative a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the gross proceeds of this offering, and we have also agreed to pay the Representative the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Representative in connection with this offering up to $260,000. The Representative out-of-pocket expenses include but are not limited to: (i) road show and travel expenses, (ii) reasonable fees of Representative’s legal counsel, (iii) the cost of background check on our officers, directors and major shareholders and due diligence expenses. As of the date of this prospectus, we have paid the Representative advances of $for its anticipated out-of-pocket costs. Such advance payments will be returned to us to the extent such out-of-pocket expenses are not actually incurred in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)(A).
 
Determination of Offering Price
 
In determining the initial public offering price, we and the Representative have considered a number of factors, including:
 
 
the information set forth in this prospectus and otherwise available to the Representative;
 
 
our prospects and the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete;
 
 
an assessment of our management;
 
 
our prospects for future revenue and earnings;
 
 
the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering;
 
 
the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded securities of generally comparable companies; and
 
 
other factors deemed relevant by the Representative and us.
 
The estimated initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this preliminary prospectus is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors. Neither we nor the Representative can assure investors that an active trading market will develop for our Common Shares, or that the shares will trade in the public market at or above the initial public offering price.
 
We have agreed to indemnify the Representative and the other underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. If we are unable to provide this indemnification, we will contribute to payments that the Representative and the other underwriters may be required to make for these liabilities.
 
Right of First Refusal
 
We have agreed to provide the Representative the right of first refusal for twelve (12) months following the consummation of this offering or the termination or expiration of the engagement with the Representative to act as financial advisor or to act as joint financial advisor on or at least equal economic terms on any public or private financing (debt or equity), merger, business combination, recapitalization or sale of some or all of our equity or our assets (collectively, “Future Services”); provided, however, that the underwriter shall not be entitled to have such right of first refusal if this offering is not consummated.  In the event that we engage the Representative to provide such Future Services, the Representative will be compensated consistent with the engagement agreement with the Representative, unless we mutually agree otherwise. To the extent we are approached by a third party to lead any public or private financing (debt or equity), merger, business combination, recapitalization or sale of some or all of our equity or assets, the Representative will be notified of the transaction and be granted the right to participate in such transaction under any syndicate formed by such third party.
125


No Sales of Similar Securities

We have agreed not to offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any shares of our Common Shares or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares at a price per share that is less the price per Common Share in this offering, for a period of six months following date on which the Common Shares are trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market, without the prior written consent of the Representative.

Lock-Up Agreements

Our executive officers, directors and holder(s) of five percent (5%) or more of our outstanding Common Shares have agreed not to offer, sell, agree to sell, directly or indirectly, or otherwise dispose of any Common Shares for a period of (i) one year, in the case of our officers and directors and (ii) 180 days, in the case of such beneficial holders of our Common Shares, following the closing of this offering, subject to certain exceptions (the “Lock-Up Period”).

Notwithstanding the above, the underwriters of this offering may engage in stabilization activities as described above.  The Representative may in its sole discretion and at any time without notice release some or all of the shares subject to lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period. When determining whether or not to release shares from the lock-up agreements, the Representative will consider, among other factors, the security holder’s reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time.

Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of Common Shares
 
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by the Representative. In addition, Common Shares may be sold by the Representative to securities dealers who resell Common Shares to online brokerage account holders. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the Representative’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by the Representative is not part of the prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the Representative in its capacity as Representative and should not be relied upon by investors.

LEGAL MATTERS
We are being represented by Greenberg Traurig, P.A., with respect to certain legal matters as to United States federal securities and state securities law. The underwriters are being represented by Bevilacqua PLLC, with respect to certain legal matters as to United States federal securities and state securities law.  The validity of the Common Shares offered in this offering and certain legal matters as to Canadian law will be passed upon for us by Wildeboer Dellelce LLP and Colombian law will be passed upon for us by our Colombian in-house counsel.
EXPERTS
The Company’s consolidated financial statements from its incorporation on March 13, 2019 through December 31, 2019 included in this prospectus, have been audited by Davidson & Company LLP (“Davidson”), an independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report thereon.  Such financial statements have been so included in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing. Davidson is independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the PCAOB on auditor independence. Davidson’s headquarters are located at Suite 1200-609 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC V7Y 1G6 Canada.
ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario.  Most of our directors and executive officers reside in Canada, and significantly all of our assets and the assets of such persons are located outside of the United States.  As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons or us, or to enforce against them or us judgments obtained in U.S. courts, whether or not predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or of the securities laws of any state of the United States.  There is doubt as to the enforceability in Canada, either in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, of civil liabilities predicated solely on the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state of the United States.

You may access and read the registration statement and this prospectus, including the related exhibits and schedules, and any document we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Internet website that contains reports and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.  Our filings with the SEC are available to the public without charge through the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
Upon completion of this offering, we will be subject to the information reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, that are applicable to “foreign private issuers,” and under those requirements will file reports with the SEC.

Furthermore, as a “foreign private issuer,” we are also not subject to the requirements of Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) promulgated under the Exchange Act. In addition, we will not be required under the Exchange Act to file annual or other reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies that have securities registered under the Exchange Act. As such, we will file with the SEC, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, or such other applicable time as required by the SEC, an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. We also intend to furnish to the SEC under cover of Form 6-K certain other material information.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Shareholders and Directors of
Flora Growth Corp.


Opinion on the consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Flora Growth Corp. (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the period from incorporation on March 13, 2019 to December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).  In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from incorporation on March 13, 2019 to December 31, 2019, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
F-2




Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatements of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

Flora Growth Corp.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the period from incorporation on March 13, 2019 to December 31, 2019
(expressed in United States dollars)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Flora Growth Corp. (the “Company” or “Flora”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada by Articles of Incorporation, on March 13, 2019. The Company is focused on developing business for the purpose of cultivating, processing and supplying all natural, medicinal-grade cannabis oil, cannabis oil extracts and related products to large channel distributors, including pharmacies, medical clinics, and cosmetic companies. The Company’s head office is located at 65 Queen Street West, Suite 800, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2M5, Canada. On July 16, 2019, the Company signed a share purchase agreement with Guillermo Andres Ramirez Martinez, Guillermo Ramirez Cabrales and Oscar Mauricio Franco Ulloa, collectively, the “Vendors”, to purchase 90% of Cosechemos YA S.A.S (“Cosechemos”). Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, Flora acquired 4,500 shares of Cosechemos on October 15, 2019.

Through the Company’s subsidiary, Cosechemos, the Company is licensed by the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Justice in Colombia to cultivate, produce derivatives, distribute and commercialize domestically and internationally, derived non-psychoactive cannabis (less than 1% of THC) and by the Ministry of Health to manufacture psychoactive derivatives (more than 1% of THC [tetrahydrocannabinol]) of cannabis.  Cosechemos is currently awaiting the psychoactive cannabis license from the Ministry of Justice and Law.

Going concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. It will need to raise additional capital in the near term to fund its ongoing operations and business activities. While the Company has engaged in an offering of units (Note 22), there is no assurance of the amount of financing that will be received. There is also no assurance that other financings will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and classifications in the consolidated statement of financial position that may be necessary were the Company unable to continue as a going concern and these adjustments could be material.

The business of cannabis growth and development of Cannabidiol (“CBD”) oils involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current business development programs will result in profitable cannabis operations. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the acquisition of assets, preservation of its interest in the underlying assets, acquisition of various licenses, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its assets and operations on an advantageous basis.

The Company does not have any operating assets that generate revenues and incurred a net loss of $2,844,111 during the period from incorporation on March 13, 2019 to December 31, 2019. As at December 31, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,770,818. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties which cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada for publicly accountable enterprises, as set out in the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting, which incorporates International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The policies set out below have been consistently applied to all periods presented unless otherwise noted.

These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on December 9, 2020.

For the period from incorporation on March 13, 2019 to December 31, 2019
(expressed in United States dollars)

Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, Cosechemos YA S.A.S. (90% owned).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are entities the Company controls when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement in the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity.

Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis, and are based on historical cost except for financial instruments measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars unless otherwise noted.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements for the period from incorporation on March 13, 2019 to December 31, 2019.
Foreign currency translation

The presentation currency and functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The functional currency of Cosechemos YA S.A.S. is the Colombian Peso.

Translation into functional currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in the functional currency at exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the period end exchange rates. Non-monetary items are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the date of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising on translation are presented in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

Translation into presentation currency
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into United States dollars at year-end exchange rates. Revenue and expenses, and cash flows of foreign operations are translated into United States dollars using average exchange rates. Exchange differences resulting from translating foreign operations are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in shareholders’ equity. The cumulative exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss upon the disposal of the foreign operation.

Share based compensation

Share based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The Company operates an employee stock option plan. The corresponding amount is recorded to the stock option reserve. The fair value of options is determined using the Black–Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. On exercise of a stock option, any amount related to the initial value of the stock option, along with the proceeds from exercise are recorded to share capital. On expiry of a stock option, any amount related to the initial value of the stock option is recorded to accumulated deficit.

Provisions

General
Provisions are recognized when (a) the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and (b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.
F-9

Flora Growth Corp.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the period from incorporation on March 13, 2019 to December 31, 2019
(expressed in United States dollars)

The expense relating to any provision is presented in the consolidated statement of loss, net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost in the statement of loss.

Decommissioning obligations
The Company records a liability for the fair value of legal or constructive obligations associated with the decommissioning of long-lived tangible assets in the period in which they are incurred. The decommissioning liability is recognized at the present value of the estimated future cash flow associated with the decommissioning of the applicable assets or properties. On recognition of the liability there is a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related asset known as the decommissioning cost, which is depleted on a unit-of-production basis over the life of the reserves. The liability is adjusted each reporting period to reflect the passage of time using the discount rate, with the interest charged to earnings, and for revisions to the estimated future cash flows. Actual costs incurred upon settlement of the obligations are charged against the liability.

As at December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any material provisions, including decommissioning obligations.

Cash

Cash in the consolidated statement of financial position includes cash on hand and deposits held with banks and other financial intermediaries that have a maturity of less than three months at the date they are acquired.

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

The Company aggregates its financial assets in accordance with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, into classes at the time of initial recognition based on the Company’s business model and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Non-derivative financial assets are classified and measured as “financial assets at fair value”, as either fair value through profit or loss “FVPL” or fair value through other comprehensive income “FVOCI”, and “financial assets at amortized cost”, as appropriate.

All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not at FVPL, directly attributable transaction costs on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining their classification.

Subsequent measurement – Financial assets at amortized cost

After initial recognition, financial assets measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at the end of each reporting period at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Rate (“EIR”) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. In these consolidated financial statements, cash, amounts receivable, and loan receivable are classified in this category.

Subsequent measurement – Financial assets at FVPL

Financial assets measured at FVPL include financial assets management intends to sell in the short term and any derivative financial instrument that is not designated as a hedging instrument in a hedge relationship. Financial assets measured at FVPL are carried at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position with changes in fair value recognized in other income or expense in the statement of loss. The Company does not measure any financial assets at FVPL.

Subsequent measurement – Financial assets at FVOCI

Financial assets measured at FVOCI are non-derivative financial assets that are not held for trading and the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to measure the assets at FVOCI. The Company does not measure any financial assets at FVOCI.
F-10

Flora Growth Corp.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the period from incorporation on March 13, 2019 to December 31, 2019
(expressed in United States dollars)
After initial measurement, investments measured at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income or loss in the statement of comprehensive loss. When the investment is sold, the cumulative gain or loss remains in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss and is not reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividends from such investments are recognized in other income in the consolidated statement of loss when the right to receive payments is established.

Derecognition

A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or the Company no longer retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets classified subsequently as amortized cost are subject to impairment based on the expected credit losses “ECL’s”. The Company’s only financial assets subject to impairment are cash, amounts receivable, and loan receivable, which are measured at amortized cost.

Critical to the determination of ECL’s is the definition of default and the definition of a significant increase in credit risk. The definition of default is used in measuring the amount of ECL’s and in the determination of whether the loss allowance is based on a 12-month or lifetime ECL’s. The Company considers the following as constituting an event of default: the borrower is past due more than 90 days on any material credit obligation, or the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full. The Company monitors all financial assets that are subject to the impairment requirements to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If there has been a significant increase in credit risk, the Company will measure the loss allowance based on lifetime rather than 12-month ECL’s. In assessing whether the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial asset at the reporting date based on the remaining maturity of the instrument with risk of a default occurring that was anticipated for the remaining maturity at the current reporting date when the financial asset was first recognized.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVPL as is the case for held for trading or derivative instruments, or the Company has opted to measure the financial liability at FVPL. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade payables and accrued liabilities and loans payable which are measured at amortized cost.  All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value.

Subsequent measurement – Financial liabilities at amortized cost

After initial recognition, financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at the end of each reporting period at amortized cost using the EIR method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR.

Subsequent measurement – Financial liabilities at FVPL

Financial liabilities measured at FVPL include any derivative financial instrument that is not designated as a hedging instrument in a hedge relationship. Financial liabilities measured at FVPL are carried at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position with changes in fair value recognized in other income or expense in the consolidated statement of loss. In these consolidated financial statements, trade payables and accrued liabilities, lease liability and loans payable are measured at amortized cost.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires with any associated gain or loss recognized in other income or expense in the consolidated statement of loss.

(expressed in United States dollars)
Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which management has determined to be as follows:

Office equipment        5-10 years
Vehicle                       10 years
Right-of-use assets     Lesser of useful life and remaining term of the lease

The Company assesses an asset’s residual value, useful life and depreciation method at each financial year end and makes adjustments if appropriate.

Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment and are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss of the related year.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed the contractual period, if any. Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at each year end, and any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. The license is amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease of the property, a period of 58 months from the date of acquisition.

Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment as at the consolidated statement of financial position date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the cash generating unit, or “CGU”). The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is the higher of its fair value, less costs to sell, and its value in use. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment charge is recognized immediately in profit or loss by the amount in which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lesser of the revised estimate of the recoverable amount and the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized previously.

Share capital

Proceeds from the issuance of common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares, stock options and warrants are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.  The fair value of options and warrants is determined using the Black Scholes model.  Warrants attached to units along with common shares are measured with the relative fair value method.

Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be
F-12

Flora Growth Corp.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the period from incorporation on March 13, 2019 to December 31, 2019
(expressed in United States dollars)
applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Leases

At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of the lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use assets are adjusted for impairment losses, if any. The estimated useful lives and recoverable amounts of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, such as outstanding options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, if dilutive. The diluted loss per share calculation excludes any potential conversion of options and warrants that would be anti-dilutive.

Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests (“NCI”) are recognized either at fair value or at the NCI’s proportionate share of the net assets, determined on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis at the date of acquisition. Subsequently, the NCI’s share of net loss and comprehensive loss is attributed to the NCI.

Adoption of amendments to accounting standards

IFRS 3 – Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”) was amended in October 2018 to clarify the definition of a business.  This amended definition states that a business must include inputs and a process and clarified that the process must be substantive and the inputs and process must together significantly contribute to operating outputs.  In addition it narrows the definitions of a business by focusing the definition of outputs on goods and services provided to customers and other income from ordinary activities, rather than on providing dividends or other economic benefits directly to investors or lowering costs and added a test that makes it easier to conclude that a company has acquired a group of assets, rather than a business, if the value of the assets acquired is substantially all concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets.  The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020.  For acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3, the Company follows International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 37 and IAS 38 guidelines for asset acquisition, where the consideration paid is allocated to assets acquired based on fair values on the acquisition date and transactions costs are capitalized and allocated to the assets acquired. The Company has adopted these amendments during the current period and these amendments have not resulted in a material impact on these consolidated financial statements.

Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the IASB or IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 or later periods. The following have not yet been adopted and are being evaluated to determine their impact on the Company.

IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) and IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (“IAS 8”) were amended in October 2018 to refine the definition of materiality and clarify its characteristics.  The revised definition focuses on the idea that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.  The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020.  Earlier adoption is permitted.

4. CRITICAL JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTIES
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management’s best estimates of the amount, event or actions, actual results could differ from those estimates and these estimates could be material.

The areas which require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to:

Determination of functional currency

The Company determines the functional currency through an analysis of several indicators such as financing activities, cash flows from operating activities and frequency of transactions within the reporting entity.

Expected credit losses on financial assets

Determining an allowance for expected credit losses for all debt financial assets not held at fair value through profit or loss requires management to make assumptions about the historical patterns for the probability of default, the timing of collection and the amount of incurred credit losses, which are adjusted based on management’s judgment about whether economic conditions and credit terms are such that actual losses may be higher or lower than what the historical patterns suggest.

Asset acquisition versus business combination

The determination of whether a transaction meets the definition of a business combination under IFRS 3 or constitutes an asset acquisition requires significant judgment.

Income taxes and recoverability of potential deferred tax assets 
In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets recognized, management makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, applicable tax planning opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. The Company considers relevant tax planning opportunities that are within the Company’s control, are feasible and within management’s ability to implement. Examination by applicable tax authorities is supported based on individual facts and circumstances of the relevant tax position examined in light of all available evidence. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear or subject to ongoing varying interpretations, it is reasonably possible that changes in these estimates can occur that materially affect the amounts of income tax assets recognized. Also, future changes in tax laws could limit the Company from realizing the tax benefits from the deferred tax assets. The Company reassesses unrecognized income tax assets at each reporting period.
Share based payment transactions
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and applicable non-employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are vested. Estimating fair value for share based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the stock price, stock option, risk-free interest rates, volatility and dividend yield.

(expressed in United States dollars)

Contingencies and provisions

Contingencies can be either possible assets or possible liabilities arising from past events which, by their nature, will only be resolved when one or more future events not wholly within our control occur or fail to occur. The assessment of such contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us, un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings or regulatory or government actions that may negatively impact our business or operations, the Company and its legal counsel evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims or actions as well as the perceived merits of the nature and amount of relief sought or expected to be sought, when determining the amount, if any, to recognize as a provision or assessing the impact on the carrying value of assets. Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Useful lives and impairment of property, plant and equipment

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is dependent upon management’s estimate of the assets’ useful lives, which requires judgment. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of these assets.

Intangible assets, other than goodwill

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost of intangible assets acquired in an asset acquisition are initially measured using an allocation of the purchase consideration using a relative fair value approach. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. The Company does not have any indefinite life intangible assets. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful economic lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the remaining amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. Useful lives and the recoverable amount of intangible assets depend on management’s estimates and require judgement.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss when the asset is derecognized.

Discount rate used in application of IFRS 16

The determination of the Company’s lease liabilities and right-of-use assets depends on certain assumptions, which include the selection of the discount rate. The discount rate is set by reference to the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Significant assumptions are required to be made when determining which borrowing rates to apply in this determination. Changes in the assumptions used may have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Environmental

The Company’s growth and development activities are subject to laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive. The Company believes its operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.

Fair value

The Company’s financial instruments measured at amortized cost as at December 31, 2019, consist of cash, amounts receivable, loan receivable, trade payables and accrued liabilities, and loans payable. The amounts reflected in the consolidated statements of financial position approximate fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments.

Financial instruments recorded at the reporting date at fair value are classified into one of three levels based upon the fair value hierarchy. Items are categorized based on inputs used to derive fair value based on:

Level 1 - quoted prices that are unadjusted in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset/liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - inputs for the instruments are not based on any observable market data.

The Company had no financial instruments recorded at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position at December 31, 2019.

Fair value estimates are made at the relevant transaction date, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties in significant matters of judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

Risk management overview

The Company has exposure to credit, liquidity and market risks from its use of financial instruments. This note provides information about the Company’s exposure to each of these risks, the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s loan receivable and cash held with banks and other financial intermediaries.

The carrying amount of the cash and loan receivable represents the maximum credit exposure which amounted to $230,979 as at December 31, 2019.

The Company has assessed that there has been no significant increase in credit risk of this loan receivable from initial recognition based on the financial position of the borrower, and the regulatory and economic environment of the borrower. As a result, the loss allowance recognized during the period was limited to 12 months expected credit losses. Based on historical information, and adjusted for forward-looking expectations, the Company has assessed an insignificant loss allowance on this loan as at December 31, 2019.

The Company held cash of $139,892 at December 31, 2019, of which, $nil is held with central banks and financial institution counterparties that are highly rated. The remaining amount of $139,892 is held with a financial intermediary in Colombia. The Company has assessed no significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition based on the availability of funds, and the regulatory and economic environment of the financial intermediary. As a result, the loss allowance recognized during the period was limited to 12 months expected credit losses. Based on historical information, and adjusted for forward-looking expectations, the Company has assessed an insignificant loss allowance on this cash balance as at December 31, 2019.

(expressed in United States dollars)
Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market conditions, such as commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, and interest rates, will affect the Company’s net income or the value of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing the Company’s returns.

       Foreign exchange risk
Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company does not currently use foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure to currency rate risk as management has determined that this risk is not significant at this point in time. As such, the Company's financial position and financial results may be adversely affected by the unfavorable fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

As at December 31, 2019, the Company had the following monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies:
     
December 31, 2019
CAD
COP
Cash
$                      -

Lease liability
-
(978,464,861)
 
                           $     (1,157,734)
(697,431,483)

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars and Colombian pesos are subject to foreign currency risk. As at December 31, 2019, had the United States dollar weakened/strengthened by 5% against the Canadian dollar with all other variables held constant, there would have been a change of approximately $45,000 in the Company’s net loss. As at December 31, 2019, had the United States dollar weakened/strengthened by 5% against the Colombian peso with all other variables held constant, there would have been a change of approximately $8,000 in the Company’s other comprehensive income.

It is management’s opinion that the Company is not subject to significant commodity or interest rate risk.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with the financial liabilities. The Company’s financial liabilities consist of trade payables and accrued liabilities of $1,149,469, loans payable of $1,030,154 and lease liability of $298,573 as at December 31, 2019. The Company had cash of $139,892 as at December 31, 2019. The Company’s policy is to review liquidity resources and ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet financial obligations as they become due. Further, the Company's management is responsible for ensuring funds exist and are readily accessible to support business opportunities as they arise.

Trade payables and accrued liabilities consist of invoices payable to trade suppliers for administration and professional expenditures. The Company processes invoices within a normal payment period. Trade payables have contractual maturities of less than 90 days.

21. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company considers the aggregate of its common shares, options and deficit as capital. The Company’s objective, when managing capital, is to ensure sufficient resources are available to meet day to day operating requirements and to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

At December 31, 2019, the Company has no cash-generating operations; therefore, the only source of cash flow is generated from financing activities. The Company’s officers and senior management are in the process of searching for additional business opportunities. Potential business activities are appropriately evaluated by senior management and a formal review and approval process has been established at the Board of Directors’ level. The Company may enter into new financing arrangements to meet its objectives for managing capital, until such time as a viable business activity is operational and the Company can thereby internally generate sufficient capital to cover its operational requirements.

NOVEL CORONAVIRUS (“COVID-19”)

The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations.

(Expressed in US Dollars)




F-26

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Directors of COSECHEMOS YA S.A.S.
 
Opinion on the Individual Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying individual statements of financial position of COSECHEMOS YA S.A.S. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018, and 2017 and the related statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and 2017, and the related notes.

In our opinion, the individual financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and 2017 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and 2017, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audits.
We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the individual financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Certain Matters
Cash Handling
At the date of our report, the Company does not have a bank account to manage its funds and operations in Colombia; Therefore, payment of liabilities and capital investments, are being manager to through a mandate contract.
As described in Note 14 of subsequent events, currently, the Company is working with local financial entities to complete the process of opening of a bank account.
F-27

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
The accompanying individual financial statements have been prepared under the going concern assumption.  We draw attention to Note 14 - Subsequent events and over the fact that the accumulated losses as of October 31, 2020 amount over USD 304 thousand, which would place the Company under a technical cause of dissolution under Colombian legislation, Article 34 of Law 1258 of 2008.

Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The individual financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Licences

Currently the Company has received the license for the cultivation of non-psychoactive cannabis plant, according to resolution N°0484 of May 15, 2019, for a term of five years and issued by the sub-directorate of control and audit of chemical and narcotic substances of the Ministry of Justice and Law. As described in Note 1-Nature and Continuance of Operations, the Company is awaiting the approval of licenses for the manufacture of cannabis derivatives and the use of seeds for commercialization, delivery, or scientific purposes.

COVID-19

As indicated in Note 14 of subsequent events to the individual financial statements of COSECHEMOS YA S.A.S., during the first months of the year 2020, the Covid-19 virus emerged in Colombia. At the date of issuance of these financial statements, the effect on globalized markets and consequently on the results, cash flows and financial situation of the entity remains uncertain; likewise, the recent volatility of the exchange rate, which has caused a devaluation of the Colombian peso against the US dollar, may cause the conversion at the current exchange rate to generate a material net financial impact. The exchange rate as of the date of this report amounts to COP 3,611.44 per USD. Other effects of the impact of the coronavirus are mainly related to delays in obtaining Licenses for the development of the Company’s main economic activity and the execution of some other activities scheduled for 2020.

1.
NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
COSECHEMOS YA SAS, was established on May 12, 2016 under a private single shareholder document No. 05-346798-16, with the corporate purpose to advance research to develop services and products for the agricultural sector of the country of Columbia or abroad as well as to promote and implement projects related to the agricultural sector, to develop and operate activities related to the agricultural sector and especially technological development for the Colombian rural areas, and to export, import, wholesale or retail all kinds of goods and services produced in the agricultural sector.

The  September 4, 2020 minutes of the board of directors expanded the corporate purpose by adding  the propagation of seeds, growing, and harvest of varieties of cannabis for medicinal and scientific purposes;  the production of medicinal cannabis derivatives, which includes the transformation of medicinal cannabis plant material into resins, oils, extracts and tinctures; the concentration, separation and purification of these, allowing third parties the quality controls and tests of the plant material and its derivatives; the export of cannabis derivatives for medicinal and/or scientific purposes, including, but not limited to resins and oils, medicines, cosmetics and the similar items.

On May 15, 2019, Cosechemos YA SAS was granted by resolution 0484 the NON-psychoactive Cannabis Cultivation License by the Colombian Ministry of Justice and Law to grow, produce and distribute (domestically and internationally) CBD medicinal cannabis (cannabidiol). In the property located in Predio de Cantalavieja, Vereda de Motoso of the Municipality of GIRÓN (SANTANDER - COLOMBIA) with real estate registration 300-193758. This license is valid for five years from its execution date.

On May 19, 2020 COSECHEMOS YA S.A.S was granted registration as a producer of selected (asexual) seed of non-psychoactive cannabis under resolution No. 67978 (May 19, 2020) and registration as a research unit in non-psychoactive cannabis breeding under the resolution 67975 (May 19, 2020)  by the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA).

On November 9, 2020, under resolution 2005 of 2020, a license to manufacture cannabis derivatives was granted by the Ministry of Health and Social Protection.

This license was granted in the modalities of: National Use and Export. In the property located in the Vereda de Motoso of the Municipality of Girón (Santander - Colombia) with real estate registration 300-193758. This license is valid for five years from its execution date.

It is clarified that currently it is necessary to obtain the license for the cultivation of psychoactive Cannabis, which is being held by the Ministry of Justice and Law because Colombian legislation contemplates first obtaining the license to manufacture derivatives and subsequently grant psychoactive cannabis cultivation license, which is expected to be obtained in 2020.

On the other hand, the modification of the derivatives manufacturing license must be made to include the investigation modality, which was not included at the time of the request.

Currently, the Company is in process to obtain the request registration with the “Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario” - ICA (for its acronym in Spanish), “as an importer of Cannabis seeds in order to have Psychoactive varieties of Cannabis to register with the ICA, because the seed source no longer exists in Colombia (Art. 2, Resolution 631 of 2018) and they need to have their own seeds for the research and manufacturing processes of derivatives intended by “Cosechemos YA SAS”

Going concern

The Company is in the preliminary stages of its planned operations and has not yet determined whether its processes and business plans are economically viable. The continued operations of the Company are dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain sufficient financing to complete the development of its facilities and if they are proven successful, the existence of future profitable production, or alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its assets on an advantageous basis, all of which are uncertain.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company will need to raise additional capital in the near term to fund its ongoing operations and business activities. While the Company has entered into a share purchase agreement with Flora Growth Corp. (“Flora”), and Flora advanced loans there is no assurance that this financing will conclude. As a result of these circumstances, there are material uncertainties that cast significant doubt as to the appropriateness of the going concern presumption.

The business of cannabis growth and development of Cannabidiol (“CBD”) oils involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current business development programs will result in profitable cannabis operations. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the acquisition of assets, preservation of its interest in the underlying assets, acquisition of various licenses, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its assets and operations on an advantageous basis.

These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary and could be material to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements.
Statement of compliance

These financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company’s accounting policies.

Basis of presentation

The Individual Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis, except for cash flow information and are based on historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are stated at their fair values. The financial statements are presented in in American Dollars, unless otherwise stated.

3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Foreign currency translation

The presentation currency is in United States Dollars and functional currency of the Company is the Colombian pesos. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in the functional currency at exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the period end exchange rates. Non-monetary items are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the date of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising on translation are presented in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss (income).

Cash

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position includes cash on hand and deposits held with banks that have a maturity of less than three months at the date they are acquired.

Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The initial cost of an asset comprises its purchase price or construction cost, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into operation, the initial estimate of the rehabilitation obligation, and for qualifying assets, borrowing costs. The purchase price or construction cost is the aggregate amount paid and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset.

Property, plant and equipment are generally depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:

 
 Buildings
25 - 40 years
 
 
 Machinery
10 - 15 years
 
 
 Vehicles
3-5 years
 
   Furniture and equipment
3-8 years
 
F-35

COSECHEMOS YA SAS
For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017
(Figures Expressed in American US Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of loss when the asset is derecognized. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation/amortization are reviewed at each reporting period and adjusted prospectively if appropriate.

Expenditures on major maintenance refits or repairs comprise the cost of replacement assets or parts of assets and overhaul costs. Where an asset or part of an asset that was separately depreciated and is now written off is replaced, and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company through an extended life, the expenditure is capitalized.

Where part of the asset was not separately considered as a component, the replacement value is used to estimate the carrying amount of the replaced assets, which is immediately written off. All other day-to-day maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are assessed for impairment when indicators of such impairment exist. If any indication of impairment exists an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount is calculated. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of the fair value less costs to sell for the asset and the asset’s value in use.

Impairment is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, the individual assets of the Company are grouped together into cash generating units (“CGUs”) for impairment purposes. Such CGUs represent the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets.

If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is impaired and an impairment loss is charged to the statement of loss so as to reduce the carrying amount to its recoverable amount.

A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. The increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation/amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of loss.

Share capital
Proceeds from the issuance of common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares, stock options and warrants are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

(Figures Expressed in American US Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Income taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Provisions

General
Provisions are recognized when (a) the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and (b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.

The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of operations, net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost in the statement of loss.

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017
(Figures Expressed in American US Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Decommissioning obligations
The Company records a liability for the fair value of legal or constructive obligations associated with the decommissioning of long-lived tangible assets in the period in which they are incurred. The decommissioning liability is recognized at the present value of the estimated future cash flow associated with the decommissioning of the applicable assets or properties. On recognition of the liability there is a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related asset known as the decommissioning cost, which is depleted on a unit-of-production basis over the life of the reserves. The liability is adjusted each reporting period to reflect the passage of time using the discount rate, with the interest charged to earnings, and for revisions to the estimated future cash flows. Actual costs incurred upon settlement of the obligations are charged against the liability.

As at December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have any material provisions, including decommissioning obligations.

Amounts receivable

Amounts receivable are amounts that are due from others in the normal course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets; if not, they are presented as noncurrent assets and discounted accordingly.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, such as outstanding options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, if dilutive. The diluted loss per share calculation excludes any potential conversion of options and warrants that would be anti-dilutive.

Accounting policy under IFRS 9 applicable from January 1, 2018

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Non-derivative financial assets within the scope of IFRS 9 are classified and measured as “financial assets at fair value”, as either FVPL or FVOCI, and “financial assets at amortized costs”, as appropriate. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at the time of initial recognition based on the Company’s business model and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not at FVPL, directly attributable transaction costs on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining their classification at FVPL or at amortized cost. Amounts receivable held for collection of contractual cash flows are measured at amortized cost.

Subsequent measurement – financial assets at amortized cost

After initial recognition, financial assets measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at the end of each reporting period at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Rate (“EIR”) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR.

Subsequent measurement – Financial assets at FVPL

Financial assets measured at FVPL include financial assets management intends to sell in the short term and any derivative financial instrument that is not designated as a hedging instrument in a hedge relationship. Financial assets measured at FVPL are carried at fair value in the statement of financial position with changes in fair value recognized in other income or expense in the statement of loss. The Company does not measure any financial assets at FVPL.

Subsequent measurement – Financial assets at FVOCI

Financial assets measured at FVOCI are non-derivative financial assets that are not held for trading and the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to measure the assets at FVOCI. The Company does not measure any financial assets at FVOCI.

After initial measurement, investments measured at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income or loss in the statement of comprehensive loss (income). When the investment is sold, the cumulative gain or loss remains in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss and is not reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividends from such investments are recognized in other income in the statement of loss when the right to receive payments is established.

Derecognition

A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or the Company no longer retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company’s only financial assets subject to impairment are amounts receivable, which are measured at amortized cost. The Company has elected to apply the simplified approach to impairment as permitted by IFRS 9, which requires the expected lifetime loss to be recognized at the time of initial recognition of the receivable. To measure estimated credit losses, accounts receivable has been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics, including the number of days past due. An impairment loss is reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the expected loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the initial impairment was recognized.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVPL as is the case for held for trading or derivative instruments, or the Company has opted to measure the financial liability at FVPL. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade payables and accrued liabilities which are each measured at amortized cost.  All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value.

Subsequent measurement – financial liabilities at amortized cost

After initial recognition, financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at the end of each reporting period at amortized cost using the EIR method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR.

Subsequent measurement – Financial liabilities at FVPL

Financial liabilities measured at FVPL include any derivative financial instrument that is not designated as a hedging instrument in a hedge relationship. Financial liabilities measured at FVPL are carried at fair value in the statement of financial position with changes in fair value recognized in other income or expense in the statement of loss.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires with any associated gain or loss recognized in other income or expense in the statement of loss.

Accounting policy under IAS 39 applicable prior to January 1, 2018

The accounting policy under IAS 39 for the comparative information presented in respect of financial assets and liabilities, excluding derivative instruments related to hedging activities, was similar to the accounting policy adopted in 2018, with the following exceptions.

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Non-derivative financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 were classified as “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss”, “loans and receivables”, or “available-for-sale financial assets”, as appropriate. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

F-40

COSECHEMOS YA SAS
For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017
(Figures Expressed in American US Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Subsequent measurement – financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss included financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets were classified as held for trading if management intended to sell the financial assets in the short term. This category included any derivative financial instrument that was not designated as a hedging instrument in a hedge relationship under IAS 39.

Derivatives embedded in host contracts were accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks were not closely related to those of the host contracts. Host contracts were not held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives were measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Reassessment only occurred if there was a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modified the cash flows that would have otherwise been required.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company assessed at each reporting date whether there was any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets was impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets was deemed to be impaired if there were objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that had occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss event”) and the loss had an impact on the estimated cash flows of the financial asset or group of assets that could be reliably estimated.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the Company considered evidence of impairment at both a specific asset and collective level. Objective evidence could include the default or delinquency of a debtor or restructuring of an amount due to the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise.

All individually significant financial assets were assessed for specific impairment. Financial assets that were not individually significant were collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together financial assets with similar risk characteristics. If there were objective evidence that an impairment had incurred, the amount of the charge was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and was measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, excluding future credit losses that had not yet been incurred. If, in a subsequent period, the estimated impairment charge decreased because of an event, any reversal would have been credited to profit or loss.

New accounting pronouncements adopted

The Company has adopted the following amendments, effective January 1, 2018.

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IFRS 9”) introduces new requirements for the classification, measurement and impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. It establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets: (i) amortized cost and (ii) fair value either through profit or loss (“FVPL”) or through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”); establishes criteria for the classification of financial assets within each measurement category based on business model and cash flow characteristics; and eliminates the existing held for trading, held to maturity, available for sale, loans and receivable and other financial liabilities categories. IFRS 9 also introduces a new expected credit loss model for the purpose of assessing the impairment of financial assets and requires that there be a demonstrated economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument.

The Company adopted IFRS 9 effective January 1, 2018 retrospectively without restating comparatives and therefore the comparative information in respect of financial instruments for the year ended December 31, 2017 was accounted for in accordance with the Company’s previous accounting policy under IAS 39. There were no effects on opening balances on January 1, 2018 with respect to the adoption of IFRS 9.

Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the IASB or IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 or later periods. The following have not yet been adopted and are being evaluated to determine their impact on the Company.

IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) and IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (“IAS 8”) were amended in October 2018 to refine the definition of materiality and clarify its characteristics.  The revised definition focuses on the idea that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.  The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020.  Earlier adoption is permitted.

IFRS 3 – Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”) was amended in October 2018 to clarify the definition of a business.  This amended definition states that a business must include inputs and a process and clarified that the process must be substantive and the inputs and process must together significantly contribute to operating outputs.  In addition it narrows the definitions of a business by focusing the definition of outputs on goods and services provided to customers and other income from ordinary activities, rather than on providing dividends or other economic benefits directly to investors or

lowering costs and added a test that makes it easier to conclude that a company has acquired a group of assets, rather than a business, if the value of the assets acquired is substantially all concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets.  The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020.  Earlier adoption is permitted.

For acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3, the Company follows International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 37 and IAS 38 guidelines for asset acquisition, where the consideration paid is allocated to assets acquired based on fair values on the acquisition date and transactions costs are capitalized and allocated to the assets acquired.

IFRS 16 - Leases (“IFRS 16”) was issued in January 2016. It replaces the previous leases Standard, IAS 17 Leases, and related Interpretations. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. It eliminates the current dual accounting model for leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with lessor accounting substantially unchanged from IAS 17. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.  Earlier adoption is permitted.

For contracts entered into before January 1, 2019, the Company determined whether the arrangement contained a lease under IAS 17 Leases ("IAS 17") and its interpretive guidance. Prior to the adoption of IFRS 16, these leases were classified as operating or finance leases based on an assessment of whether the lease transferred significantly all the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying asset.

Upon transition to IFRS 16, lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted by the Company's incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the statement of financial position with the cumulative difference recognized in retained earnings. At transition, the Company has lease liabilities of $315,531 and right-of-use asset of $315,531 and are recognized in the statement of financial position.

For contracts entered into subsequent to January 1, 2019, at inception of the contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease by evaluating if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.  To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:
The contract involves the use of an identified asset. This may be specified explicitly or implicitly and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;
The Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
The Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:
o
The Company as the right to operate the asset; or
o
The Company designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

F-43

For contracts that contain a lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.  The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted by any initial direct costs, and costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset less any lease incentives.  The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the underlying asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-to-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of IAS 16, property, plant and equipment. Under IFRS 16, right-of-use assets are tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. This replaced the previous requirement to recognize a provision for onerous lease contacts.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of lease payments to be paid subsequent to the commencement date of the lease, discounted either at the interest rate implicit in the lease or the Company's incremental borrowing rate.  The lease payments measured in the initial lease liability include payments for an optional renewal period, if any, if the Company is reasonably certain that it will exercise a renewal extension option.  The liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and will be remeasured when there is a change in either the future lease payments or assessment of whether an extension or other option will be exercised. The lease liability is subsequently adjusted for lease payments and interest on the obligation.  Interest expense on the lease obligation is included in the statement of loss.

CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTIES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes to the financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results could differ from those estimates and these estimates could be material.

The areas which require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include, but are not limited to:

Determination of functional currency

The Company determines the functional currency through an analysis of several indicators such as financing activities, cash flows from operating activities and frequency of transactions within the reporting entity.

Assets’ carrying values and impairment charges

In the determination of carrying values and impairment charges, management looks at the higher of recoverable amount or fair value less costs to sell in the case of assets and at objective evidence, significant or prolonged decline of fair value on financial assets indicating impairment. These determinations and their individual assumptions require that management make a decision based on the best available information at each reporting period.

Asset acquisition versus business combination

The determination of whether a transaction meets the definition of a business combination or constitutes an asset acquisition under IFRS 3.

Income, value added, withholding and other taxes

The Company is subject to income, value added, withholding and other taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provisions for taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. The determination of the Company’s income, value added, withholding and other tax liabilities requires interpretation of complex laws and regulations. The Company’s interpretation of taxation law as applied to transactions and activities may not coincide with the interpretation of the tax authorities. All tax related filings are subject to government audit and potential reassessment subsequent to the financial statement reporting period. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the tax related accruals and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Income taxes and recoverability of potential deferred tax assets
In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets recognized, management makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, applicable tax planning opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. The Company considers relevant tax planning opportunities that are within the Company’s control, are feasible and within management’s ability to implement. Examination by applicable tax authorities is supported based on individual facts and circumstances of the relevant tax position examined in light of all available evidence. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear or subject to ongoing varying interpretations, it is reasonably possible that changes in these estimates can occur that materially affect the amounts of income tax assets recognized. Also, future changes in tax laws could limit the Company from realizing the tax benefits from the deferred tax assets. The Company reassesses unrecognized income tax assets at each reporting period.

Contingencies and provisions

Contingencies can be either possible assets or possible liabilities arising from past events which, by their nature, will only be resolved when one or more future events not wholly within our control occur or fail to occur. The assessment of such contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us, un-asserted claims, that may result in such proceedings or regulatory or government actions that may negatively impact our business or operations, the Company and its legal counsel evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims or actions as well as the perceived merits of the nature and amount of relief sought or expected to be sought, when determining the amount, if any, to recognize as a contingent liability or assessing the impact on the carrying value of assets. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements.

The 2017 and 2018 income tax provision was calculated by presumptive income.

The tax provisions applicable to the Company establish a general rate of 34% for the year 2017, for the year 2018 onwards of 33%, and a surcharge for taxable bases greater than $ 800,000 between 0 and 6%, the year 2018 will be between 0 and 4%.

The basis for determining the income tax cannot be less than 3.5% of your liquid assets on the last day of the immediately preceding taxable year (presumptive income).  In accordance with article 165 of Law 1607 of 2012 and Regulatory Decree 2548 of 2014, for tax purposes, the remissions contained in the tax rules to the accounting standards will continue in force during the four (4) years following the entry into force of the International Financial Reporting Standards.  The Law and Regulatory Decree were repealed according to article 22 of Law 1819 of 2016, which added a new article to the National Tax Statute, which provides the following for the validity of 2017 and subsequent: “for the determination of the tax on income and complementary, in the value of assets, liabilities, equity, income, costs and expenses, the taxpayers obliged to keep accounting will apply the recognition and measurement systems, in accordance with the regulatory technical frameworks in force in Colombia, when the tax law expressly refers to them and in cases where this does not regulate the matter. In any case, the tax law may expressly provide a different treatment, in accordance with article 4 of law 1314 of 2009”.

The general term of the income statements from 2016 onwards is three (3) years. For entities subject to transfer prices the term will be six (6) years, this term also applies in the case of declarations in which tax losses are compensate. The statements that generate tax losses, the term will be twelve (12) years; however, if the taxpayer compensates the loss in the last two (2) years to do so, the term  will be extend for three (3) more years from said compensation in relation to the statement in which it was settled such loss.

The following is a detail of the reconciliation between the accounting profit and the liquid income, as well as the determination of the income tax and the surcharge recognized for the period.

Financing Law

On December 29, 2018, Law 1943 (called the financing law) was promulgated, introducing important reforms to the tax code in Colombia, the most relevant issues about this law are summarized below:

1.
The list of goods and services excluded from VAT established in articles 424, 426 and 476 of the Tax Code was modified.
2.
Article 437 of the Tax Code was added, regarding guidelines on the fulfillment of formal duties on VAT by service providers from abroad.
3.
The withholding of VAT may be up to 50% of the value of the tax, subject to regulation of the National Government. Withholding tax must be made at VAT when personal property or encumbered services are acquired from persons registered as contributors to Simple regime.

The VAT rate remains at 19%.
5.
The simplified VAT regime is eliminated, classifying taxpayers as not responsible as long as they meet the same criteria as they were for the simplified one (in addition to not belonging to the simple regime).
6.
The tax discount on income is created in the sales tax on the acquisition or formation of real productive fixed assets (eliminating the special deduction of VAT on the acquisition of capital goods).
7.
For the years 2019, 2020, 2021, an extraordinary estate tax is created by: i) natural persons and illiquid successions contributing to income tax, ii) national or foreign natural persons who do not have residence in the country , with respect to the assets directly owned in the country, ii) national or foreign natural persons who do not have residence in the country, with respect to their assets indirectly owned through permanent establishments in the country (except for exceptions in international treaties and in domestic law ), iv) illiquid successions of causes without residence in the country at the time of their death with respect to their assets owned in the country; and v) foreign companies or entities not declaring income tax, with respect to their property owned in Colombia, such properties, yachts, boats, boats, works of art, aircraft or mining or oil rights. This lien will not apply to stocks or accounts receivable. The lien will apply to the possession as of January 1, 2019 of a net worth of more than 5,000 million pesos (1% rate each year).
8.
Creation of the tax normalization tax at a rate of 13% for taxpayers of income tax who have omitted assets or non-existent liabilities as of January 1, 2019.
9.
As of 2019, a withholding at the source of the income tax of 7.5% on the profits that would have been able to be distributed to national companies as non-constitutive income or occasional income is added. The component taxed on profits distributed via dividends will be taxed at the rate indicated in article 240 of the Tax Statute, in which case the withholding at the source indicated above will be applied once this tax has been reduced. This withholding does not apply to taxpayers who are part of a business group or who belong to the holding regime.
10.
The income tax rate on dividends received by companies or other foreign entities without domicile in the country, by natural persons without residence in Colombia and by illiquid successions of causes that were not residents in Colombia was increased to 7.5% (profits) of 2017 and 2018 were taxed at 5%). The component taxed on profits distributed via dividends will be taxed at the rate indicated in article 240 of the Tax Statute, in which case the tax indicated above will be applied once this tax has been reduced.
11.
A transition regime is created with regard to changes made to dividends.
12.
Increases the maximum marginal rate applicable to resident natural persons and modal assignments to 39%. Likewise, certain percentages applicable to withholding at source to natural persons are modified.
13.
Life insurance indemnities will be taxed at the rate applicable to occasional earnings from the taxable year 2019 if they exceed 12,000 UVT.
14.
The income tax rate applicable to national (and similar) or foreign companies (with or without residence in Colombia required to file annual income tax returns) and permanent establishments of foreign entities will be 33% for the taxable year 2019, 32% by 2020, 31% by 2021, and 30% from 2022. Special rules will apply to the hotel sector as of January 1, 2019
15.
Financial institutions must settle additional point to income tax and complementary when the taxable income is equal to or greater than 120,000 UVTs as follows: (i) 4% by 2019; and (ii) 3% by 2020 and 2021.

In the income tax there are modifications around: i) income that is not considered to be of national source; ii) deduction of all taxes paid (exception to estate tax and standardization tax) and inclusion of some taxes paid as a tax discount (50% - industry and commerce tax); iii) reduction of the presumptive income rate gradually up to 0% from the taxable year 2021 iv) discounts for taxes paid abroad, v) modification of the exempt income contained in article 235-2 of the Tax Statute ; vi) elimination of tax discounts; and vii) the rules applicable to private equity funds, collective investment funds, among others.
17.
Modifies the provision contained in article 90 of the Tax Statute and the allocation of commercial margins will be extensible to the provision of services. It is understood that the value assigned by the parties differs markedly from the average when it is separated by more than fifteen percent (15%) of the prices established in commerce for goods or services of the same species and quality. It is also provided that the sale value of the shares cannot be less than 130% of the intrinsic value, leaving the possibility for the DIAN to use technical methods to determine the sale price.
18.

Contingencies

Cannabis operations are subject to extensive controls and regulations imposed by various levels of government that may be amended from time to time. The Company’s operations may require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities in the countries in which it plans to operate. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out growth and development of its projects.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it will conduct its cannabis development and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of operations of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Property title may be subject to government licensing requirements or regulations, social licensing requirements, unregistered prior agreements, unregistered claims, and non-compliance with regulatory and environmental requirements. The Company’s assets may also be subject to increases in taxes and royalties, renegotiation of contracts, political uncertainty and currency exchange fluctuations and restrictions.

Environmental

The Company’s growth and development activities are subject to laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Fair value

The Company’s financial instruments measured at amortized cost as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, consist of amounts receivable, trade payables and accrued liabilities, and the amounts reflected in the statements of financial position approximate fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments.

Financial instruments recorded at the reporting date at fair value are classified into one of three levels based upon the fair value hierarchy. Items are categorized based on inputs used to derive fair value based on:

Level 1 - quoted prices that are unadjusted in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset/liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - inputs for the instruments are not based on any observable market data.

The Company had no financial instruments recorded at fair value in the statement of financial position at December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Fair value estimates are made at the relevant transaction date, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties in significant matters of judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

Risk management overview

The Company has exposure to credit, liquidity and market risks from its use of financial instruments. This note provides information about the Company’s exposure to each of these risks, the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s amounts receivables.

The carrying amount of amounts receivable represents the maximum credit exposure. As at December 31, 2018, the Company’s total receivable was $1,539 ($1,676 – December 31, 2017).

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market conditions, such as commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, and interest rates, will affect the Company’s net income or the value of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing the Company’s returns.
F-52

COSECHEMOS YA SAS
For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017
(Figures Expressed in American US Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

(i)
Commodity price risk
Commodity price risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in commodity prices. Commodity prices for cannabis seeds and plants are impacted by not only the relationship between the Colombian peso, Canadian and United States dollar, as outlined below, but also global economic events that dictate the levels of supply and demand. Lower commodity prices can also reduce the Company’s ability to raise capital. As the Company is not generating revenues, commodity price risk does not directly impact the Company’s financial results.

(ii)
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates.

As at December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, they are presented in United States dollars.

(iii)
Interest exchange risk
The Company has no cash balance as at December 31, 2018 and 2017.
  
Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with the financial liabilities. The Company’s financial liabilities consist of trade payables and accrued liabilities of $14 USD as at December 31, 2018 ($8 USD – December 31, 2017). The Company has no cash as at December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Trade payables and accrued liabilities consist of invoices payable to trade suppliers for administration and professional expenditures. The Company processes invoices within a normal payment period. Trade payables have contractual maturities of less than 90 days.

Price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. Commodity prices fluctuate on a daily basis and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control. The supply and demand for commodities, the level of interest rates, the rate of inflation, investment decisions by large holders of commodities including governmental reserves and stability of exchange rates can all cause significant fluctuations in commodities prices. Such external economic factors are in turn influenced by changes in international investment patterns and monetary systems and political developments.

Sensitivity analysis

The Company has, for accounting purposes, designated its amounts receivable as loans and receivables which are measured at amortized cost. Trade payables and accrued liabilities are classified for accounting purposes as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, both the carrying and fair value amounts of the Company's financial instruments are approximately equivalent due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
F-53

COSECHEMOS YA SAS
For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017
(Figures Expressed in American US Dollars, unless otherwise stated)


The sensitivity analysis shown in the notes below may differ materially from actual results. Based on management's knowledge of and experience with the financial markets, the Company believes the following movements are "reasonably possible":

Trade payables and accrued liabilities denominated in Canadian and United States dollars are subject to foreign currency risk. As at December 31, 2018, had the United States dollar weakened/strengthened by 5% against the Canadian dollar with all other variables held constant, there would have been a change of approximately $Nil in the Company’s net loss.

13.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company will consider the aggregate of its common shares and deficit as capital. The Company’s objective, when managing capital, is to ensure sufficient resources are available to meet day to day operating requirements and to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company has no cash-generating operations; therefore, the only source of cash flow is generated from financing activities or loans. The Company’s officers and senior management are in the process of searching for additional business opportunities. Potential business activities are appropriately evaluated by senior management and a formal review and approval process has been established at the Board of Directors’ level. The Company may enter into new financing arrangements to meet its objectives for managing capital, until such time as a viable business activity is operational and the Company can thereby internally generate sufficient capital to cover its operational requirements.

The Company’s officers and senior management take full responsibility for managing the Company’s capital and do so through quarterly meetings and regular review of financial information. The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing this process.

14.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company received loans from Flora in the amount of $212,380 in August 2019.n July 16, 2019, the Company signed a share purchase agreement with Guillermo Andres Ramirez Martinez, Guillermo Ramirez Cabrales and Oscar Mauricio Franco Ulloa, collectively, the “Vendors”, to purchase 90% of Cosechemos S.A.S Ya (“Cosechemos”).

Flora Growth Corp.
Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the period from incorporation on March 13, 2019 to June 30, 2019
(expressed in United States dollars)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Flora Growth Corp. (the “Company” or “Flora”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada by Articles of Incorporation, on March 13, 2019. The Company is focused on developing business for the purpose of cultivating, processing and supplying all natural, medicinal-grade cannabis oil, cannabis oil extracts and related products to large channel distributors, including pharmacies, medical clinics, and cosmetic companies. The Company’s head office is located at 65 Queen Street West, Suite 800, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2M5, Canada. On July 16, 2019, the Company signed a share purchase agreement with Guillermo Andres Ramirez Martinez, Guillermo Ramirez Cabrales and Oscar Mauricio Franco Ulloa, collectively, the “Vendors”, to purchase 90% of Cosechemos YA S.A.S (“Cosechemos”). Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, Flora acquired 4,500 shares of Cosechemos on October 15, 2019.

Through the Company’s subsidiary, Cosechemos, the Company is licensed by the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Justice in Colombia to cultivate, produce derivatives, distribute and commercialize domestically and internationally, derived non-psychoactive cannabis (less than 1% of THC) and by the Ministry of Health to manufacture psychoactive derivatives (more than 1% of THC [tetrahydrocannabinol]) of cannabis.  Cosechemos is currently awaiting the psychoactive cannabis license from the Ministry of Justice and Law.

Going concern

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. It will need to raise additional capital in the near term to fund its ongoing operations and business activities. While the Company has engaged in an offering of units (Notes 11(b) and 19), there is no assurance of the amount of financing that will be received. There is also no assurance that other financings will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and classifications in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position that may be necessary were the Company unable to continue as a going concern and these adjustments could be material.

The business of cannabis growth and development of Cannabidiol (“CBD”) oils involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current business development programs will result in profitable cannabis operations. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the acquisition of assets, preservation of its interest in the underlying assets, acquisition of various licenses, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its assets and operations on an advantageous basis.

The Company does not have any operating assets that generate revenues and incurred a net loss of $2,601,112 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 (net loss of $1,920,868 for the period from March 13, 2019 to June 30, 2019). These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties which cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of compliance

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period from March 13, 2019 (incorporation) to December 31, 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies used in the preparation of the audited financial statements of the Company for the period from March 13, 2019 (incorporation) to December 31, 2019, with the exception of the adoption of amendments to accounting standards as described below.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on December 9, 2020.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the period from incorporation on March 13, 2019 to June 30, 2019
(expressed in United States dollars)
Basis of consolidation

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Cosechemos YA S.A.S. (90% owned), Flora Growth Corp. Sucursal Colombia (100% owned), which was incorporated on March 20, 2020, Hemp Textiles & Co. LLC (80% owned), which was incorporated on June 25, 2020, Flora Beauty LLC (80% owned), which was incorporated on February 12, 2020 and Flora Beauty LLC Sucursal Colombia (100% owned), which was incorporated on June 24, 2020.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are entities the Company controls when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement in the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity.

Basis of measurement

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis, and are based on historical cost, except for financial instruments measured at fair value.

Foreign currency translation

The presentation currency and functional currency of the Company and Flora Beauty LLC is the United States dollar. The functional currency of Cosechemos YA S.A.S., Flora Growth Corp. Sucursal Colombia, Flora Beauty LLC Sucursal Colombia and Hemp Textiles & Co. LLC is the Colombian Peso.

New accounting standards

Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods on or after January 1, 2020 or later periods. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded.

IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) and IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (“IAS 8”) were amended in October 2018 to refine the definition of materiality and clarify its characteristics. The revised definition focuses on the idea that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The adoption of IAS 1 on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash consists of cash held by the Company’s escrow agent in relation to the investments made by the potential investors that have not passed clearance requirements for the subscription of the Company’s capital as of June 30, 2020. The corresponding amount has been recorded in accounts payable, and represents a non-cash transaction. See Note 19 for units issued subsequent to June 30, 2020.

4. AMOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The amounts receivable balance as at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 consists of amounts receivable from the Government of Canada for Harmonized Sales Taxes (“HST”) and sundry receivables.

Pursuant to the agreement, Flora is required to pay the Vendors, as a one-time payment, $750,000 within 60 days of Cosechemos earning a net income of $10,000,000. On October 15, 2019, $80,000 was paid to the Vendors for the purchase of 90% of Cosechemos. Cosechemos was acquired to gain access to certain cannabis licenses held by Cosechemos in Colombia.  Cosechemos is focused on cultivating, processing and supplying all natural, medicinal-grade cannabis oil extracts and related products to large channel distributors, including pharmacies, medical clinics and cosmetic companies.  Cosechemos’ operations are in Giron, Santander, Colombia where it has leased a 361 hectare property.

The Free Carry will terminate upon Flora investing an aggregate of $25,000,000 in Cosechemos.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Environmental

The Company’s growth and development activities are subject to laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive. The Company believes its operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.

Fair value

The Company’s financial instruments measured at amortized cost as at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, consist of cash and restricted cash, amounts receivable, loans receivable, advances, trade payables and accrued liabilities, and loans payable. The amounts reflected in the interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position approximate fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments.

Financial instruments recorded at the reporting date at fair value are classified into one of three levels based upon the fair value hierarchy. Items are categorized based on inputs used to derive fair value based on:

Level 1 - quoted prices that are unadjusted in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset/liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - inputs for the instruments are not based on any observable market data.

The Company had no financial instruments recorded at fair value in the interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Fair value estimates are made at the relevant transaction date, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties in significant matters of judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

Risk management overview

The Company has exposure to credit, liquidity and market risks from its use of financial instruments. This note provides information about the Company’s exposure to each of these risks, the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s loan receivable, advances, and cash and restricted cash held with banks and other financial intermediaries.

The carrying amount of the cash and restricted cash, advances, and loan receivable represents the maximum credit exposure which amounted to $8,351,227 as at June 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - $230,979).

(expressed in United States dollars)
17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
Credit risk (Continued)

The Company has assessed that there has been no significant increase in credit risk of the loans receivable and advances from initial recognition based on the financial position of the borrowers, and the regulatory and economic environment of the borrowers. As a result, the loss allowance recognized during the period was limited to 12 months expected credit losses. Based on historical information, and adjusted for forward-looking expectations, the Company has assessed an insignificant loss allowance on the loans receivable and advances as at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The Company held cash and restricted cash of $6,691,173 at June 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - $139,892), of which, $5,862,847 (December 31, 2019 – nil) is held with central banks and financial institution counterparties that are highly rated. $516,256 (December 31, 2019 – nil) is held in a trust account. The remaining amount of $312,070 (December 31, 2019 - $159,797) is held with a financial intermediary in Colombia. The Company has assessed no significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition based on the availability of funds, and the regulatory and economic environment of the financial intermediary. As a result, the loss allowance recognized during the period was limited to 12 months expected credit losses. Based on historical information, and adjusted for forward-looking expectations, the Company has assessed an insignificant loss allowance on this cash balance as at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market conditions, such as commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, and interest rates, will affect the Company’s net income or the value of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing the Company’s returns.

       Foreign exchange risk
Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company does not currently use foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure to currency rate risk as management has determined that this risk is not significant at this point in time. As such, the Company's financial position and financial results may be adversely affected by the unfavorable fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
Market risk (Continued)

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars and Colombian pesos are subject to foreign currency risk. As at June 30, 2020, had the United States dollar weakened/strengthened by 5% against the Canadian dollar with all other variables held constant, there would have been a change of approximately $1,000 (December 31, 2019 - $45,000) in the Company’s net loss. As at June 30, 2020, had the United States dollar weakened/strengthened by 5% against the Colombian peso with all other variables held constant, there would have been a change of approximately $500 (December 31, 2019 - $8,000) in the Company’s other comprehensive income.

It is management’s opinion that the Company is not subject to significant commodity or interest rate risk.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with the financial liabilities. The Company’s financial liabilities consist of trade payables and accrued liabilities of $1,291,855 and lease liability of $240,146 as at June 30, 2020. The Company had cash and restricted cash of $6,691,173 as at June 30, 2020. The Company’s policy is to review liquidity resources and ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet financial obligations as they become due. Further, the Company's management is responsible for ensuring funds exist and are readily accessible to support business opportunities as they arise.

Trade payables and accrued liabilities consist of invoices payable to trade suppliers for administration and professional expenditures. The Company processes invoices within a normal payment period. Trade payables have contractual maturities of less than 90 days.

Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”)
The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations.
18. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company considers the aggregate of its common shares, options, warrants and deficit as capital. The Company’s objective, when managing capital, is to ensure sufficient resources are available to meet day to day operating requirements and to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has no cash-generating operations; therefore, the only source of cash flow is generated from financing activities. The Company’s officers and senior management are in the process of searching for additional business opportunities. Potential business activities are appropriately evaluated by senior management and a formal review and approval process has been established at the Board of Directors’ level. The Company may enter into new financing arrangements to meet its objectives for managing capital, until such time as a viable business activity is operational and the Company can thereby internally generate sufficient capital to cover its operational requirements.

The Company’s officers and senior management take full responsibility for managing the Company’s capital and do so through quarterly meetings and regular review of financial information. The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing this process.

The Company is not subject to any external capital requirements.

20.     RESTATEMENT

For the period from incorporation to December 31, 2019:
-

-

Independent Auditors’ Report

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of Breeze Laboratory S.A.S. (the ‘Company’) as of December 31, 2019, and the related statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the ‘Financial Statements’).

In our opinion, the Financial Statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for Opinion

These Financial Statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s Financial Statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Financial Statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Nature of Business

Breeze Laboratory S.A.S. (“the Company’) is a Simplified Stock Company incorporated under Colombian laws on January 23, 2012.
The corporate purpose of the Company is the research, design, development, direct or third-party manufacturing, acquisition, distribution and marketing of pharmaceutical, cosmetic, dermatological, beauty, aesthetic and wellness products and services, hygiene, cleaning and dressing products, design and elaboration of topical master formulations, homeopathic, natural and over-the-counter (OTC) products.
The Company’s activities include the manufacturing of soaps and detergents, cleaning and polishing preparations, perfumes and toiletries, as well as the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, medical chemicals and botanical products. Its registered office is Calle 53 Bis Sur #80-57, Bogotá, Colombia.

1.  Basis of Presentation

 (a)  Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) applicable to the preparation of these financial statements.

The financial statements at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were authorized for their disclosure by the Legal Representative on November 28, 2020.

 (b)  Basis of measurement
These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.
(c)  Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Colombian Pesos ("COP") unless otherwise noted. The functional currency of the Company is the Colombian Peso.
(d)  Estimates and critical judgements by management
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and may affect both the period of revision and future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts are identified below. While management believes that the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those estimates and may impact the future results of operations.

1.  Basis of Presentation (continued)

 (d)  Estimates and critical judgements by management (continued)

 (i) Estimated useful lives and depreciation of property, plant and equipment
Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment are dependent upon estimates of useful lives and when the asset is available for use, which are determined through the exercise of judgment.
 (ii) Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment. The assessment of any impairment on property, plant and equipment is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts. Management must consider factors such as economic and market conditions, estimated future cash flows, discount rates and asset-specific risks.
 (iii) Income, value added, withholding and other taxes
The Company is subject to income, value added, withholding and other taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provisions for taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. The determination of the Company’s income, value added, withholding and other tax liabilities requires interpretation of complex laws and regulations. The Company’s interpretation of taxation law as applied to transactions and activities may not coincide with the interpretation of the tax authorities. All tax related filings are subject to government audit and potential reassessment subsequent to the reporting date. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the tax related accruals and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
 (iv) Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Determining net realizable value requires the Company to make assumptions about estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, the estimated costs of completion and the estimated variable costs to sell.
 (v) Expected credit losses on financial assets
Determining an allowance for expected credit losses ("ECLs") for all debt financial assets not held at fair value requires management to make assumptions about the historical patterns for the probability of default, the timing of collection and the amount of incurred credit losses. These assumptions are adjusted based on management’s judgment about whether economic conditions and credit terms are such that actual losses may be higher or lower than what the historical patterns suggest.

Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all years presented in these financial statements.
(a)  Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis, over the following terms:
 Buildings
10 years
 
 Leasehold improvements \
Lesser of useful life and term of the lease
 
 Computing and communications equipment
5 years
 
 Machinery and equipment
10 years
 
 Furniture and appliances
10 years
 
An asset’s residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted if appropriate. When parts of an item of plant, property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components).
During their construction, property, plant and equipment are not subject to depreciation. When the asset is available for use, depreciation commences.
(b)  Impairment of Non-financial Assets
The Company reviews the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication that the carrying amount is not recoverable. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down accordingly.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Fair value is determined as the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows resulting from the asset’s use and eventual disposition are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
When an individual asset does not generate independent cash flows, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of operations.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c)  Income Taxes
Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred tax. Current and deferred income tax are recognized in the statement of operations except to the extent that they relate to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income. Current income taxes are the expected taxes payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted, or substantively enacted, at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustments to taxes payable in respect of previous years.
To determine the provision of income and complementary taxes, the highest value between taxable income or the presumptive income (minimum return on liquid assets of the previous year that the law presumes to establish income tax) is calculated.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in respect of all qualifying temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined on a non-discounted basis using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the financial position date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset or liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the asset can be utilized.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current.
(d)  Provisions
Provisions are recognized for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount that have arisen as a result of past transactions, including legal or constructive obligations.  The provision is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. The Company had no material provision at the end of the reporting periods.
(e)  Inventories
Inventories are comprised of raw materials and finished goods. Inventories are initially values at cost and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined on an average cost basis and any trade discounts and rebates are deducted from the purchase price. Raw material costs include the purchase cost of the materials, freight-in and duty. Finished goods include the cost of direct materials and labor and a proportion of manufacturing overhead allocated based on normal production capacity.
Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories in the ordinary course of business, less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The determination of net realizable value requires significant judgment, including consideration of factors such as shrinkage, the aging of and future demand for inventory and contractual arrangements with customers. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventory are based upon quantities on hand, projected volumes from demand forecasts and net realizable value. The impact of changes in inventory reserves is reflected in cost of revenue. To the extent that circumstances have changed subsequently such that the net realizable value has increased, previous write-downs are reversed and recognized in net income (loss) in the year during which the reversal occurs.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(f)  Share Capital
Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability. The Company’s common shares are classified as equity instruments. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
(g)  Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenues from the sale of consumer products, specifically focusing on the manufacturing and distribution of soaps and detergents and pharmaceutical products.
Revenue is recognized at the transaction price, which is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods to a customer. Gross revenue excludes duties and taxes collected on behalf of third parties. Net revenue from sale of goods, as presented in the statement of operations and comprehensive income, represents revenue from the sale of goods less expected price discounts, returns on sales of defective products and customer rebates.
The Company's contracts with customers for the sales of products, and in some cases, including delivery of the products, consist of one performance obligation. The Company has concluded that revenue from the sale of these products should be recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer, which is on shipment or delivery, depending on the contract. The Company's payment terms range from 0 to 30 days from the transfer of control.
The Company also generates revenues through providing advisory services related to the INVIMA (Instituto Nacional de Vigilancia de Medicamentos y Alimentos), the National Institute for Medicine and Food Surveillance in Colombia.
Revenue is recognized at the transaction price, which is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for rendering promised services to a customer. The Company has concluded that revenue from the services provided should be recognized as services are rendered. The Company's payment terms range from 0 to 30 days from the invoice date.
(h)  Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the relevant year. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common shares by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding, if potentially dilutive instruments were converted.
(i)  Financial Instruments
All financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition. The Company aggregates its financial instruments in accordance with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, into classes based on their nature and characteristics. Management determines the classification when the instruments are initially recognized, which is normally the date of the transaction. The Company's accounting policy for each class of financial instruments is as follows:

2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(j)  Financial Instruments (continued)
Amortized cost
This category includes financial assets that are held within a business model with the objective to hold the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that meet the solely principal and interest ("SPPI") criterion, and financial liabilities which are not required, and for which the Company has not elected to subsequently record at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial instruments in this category are initially recognized at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently, these instruments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial instrument and of allocating interest over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Financial assets are adjusted for any expected credit losses (“ECLs”).
Financial instruments in this category include cash, trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties and long-term debt.

Impairment of Financial Assets at Amortized Cost
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on cash and trade and other receivables. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument. The Company recognizes lifetime ECLs for trade receivables. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate. For all other financial instruments, the Company recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. However, if the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(k)  Leases in accordance with IFRS 16, adopted January 1, 2019
Lessee
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of the lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use assets are adjusted for impairment losses, if any. The estimated useful lives and recoverable amounts of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lessor
At commencement date, the Company recognizes assets held under finance leases in its statement of financial position as a receivable at the amount equal to the net investment in the lease. The net investment in the lease is calculated as the present value of lease payments, using the interest rate implicit in the lease. For subleases, if the interest rate implicit in the sublease cannot be readily determined, the Company uses the discount rate under the primary lease. The Company recognizes finance income over the lease term using the effective interest rate method.

2.1.  Newly Adopted Standards and Interpretations
IFRS 16 Leases
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases ("IFRS 16"), which set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract. Under IFRS 16, the majority of off balance sheet leases became on balance sheet liabilities. The Company has applied IFRS 16 with an initial application date of January 1, 2019, in accordance with the transitional provisions specified in IFRS 16.
The Company has applied the following practical expedients:
(i) The Company applied the simplified transition approach and did not restate comparative information. As a result, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 as an adjustment to the retained earnings as at January 1, 2019.
(ii) The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value.
The Company has performed an evaluation of the impact of IFRS 16 on its financial statements and based on the analysis performed, has identified a number of leases which have a remaining term of 12 months or less at January 1, 2019. The Company has accounted for these as short-term leases with no adjustments upon adoption of IFRS 16. The Company did not have any significant adjustments upon adoption of IFRS 16.
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments
In June 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC 23, Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments (“IFRIC 23”) to clarify the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes. The interpretation committee concluded that an entity shall consider whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. If an entity concludes it is probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, then the entity shall determine taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses and credits or tax rates consistently with the tax treatment used or planned to be used in its income tax filings. If an entity concludes it is not probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the entity shall reflect the effect of uncertainty in determining the related taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses and credits or tax rates. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company has adopted this interpretation and there was no material impact to the financial statements upon the adoption.

2.1  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted
IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1 ") and IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors ("IAS 8") were amended in October 2018 to refine the definition of materiality and clarify its characteristics. The revised definition focuses on the idea that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt these amendments as of their effective date, and is currently assessing the impacts on adoption.

The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information pertaining to these risks is presented throughout the financial statements.
There have been no substantive changes in the Company’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks, or the methods used to measure them since December 31, 2018, unless otherwise stated.
(a)  Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company has exposure to credit risk from its cash and trade and other receivables. The risk exposure is limited to their carrying amounts at the statement of financial position date. The risk for cash is mitigated by holding these balances with highly-rated financial institutions. The Company therefore does not expect any credit losses on its cash.
The Company uses an allowance matrix to measure the ECLs of trade receivables from customers. Rates are calculated separately for exposures based on the following common credit risk characteristic – the age of the customer relationship.

13. Financial Instruments (continued)
(c)  Market risk
(i)  Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between the Colombian Pesos and other foreign currencies will affect the Company’s operations and financial results. The Company does not have significant exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
(ii)  Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s long-term debt bears interest as detailed in Note 5. As at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had no hedging agreements in place.

14.  Capital Management

When managing capital, the Company’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to achieve optimal returns to its shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management adjusts the capital structure as necessary in order to support the operation. Management does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain the future development of the business. The Company considers its capital structure to consist of share capital and retained earnings.
Management considers its approach to capital management to be appropriate given the relative size of the Company. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

15.  Subsequent Events

(a)  Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19’)
The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations.

(b)  Sale of Building
On October 20, 2020, the Company completed the sale of a building located at CL 35 SUR 69C 36 to a third party for consideration of $660,000,000.

1.
Basis of Presentation

(a)
Statement of compliance

These interim condensed financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies in compliance with International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”). The accounting policies adopted in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Company’s annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for the adoption of new accounting standards and policies described in Note 2. The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

These interim condensed financial statements do not conform in all respects to the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") for annual financial statements. Accordingly, these interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's December 31, 2019 audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes.

These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on December 17, 2020.

(b)
Basis of measurement

These interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

(c)
Functional and presentation currency

These interim condensed financial statements are presented in Colombian Pesos ("COP") unless otherwise noted. The functional currency of the Company is the Colombian Peso.

1.
Basis of Presentation (continued)

(d)
Estimates and critical judgements by management

The preparation of these interim condensed financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the interim condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The interim condensed financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and may affect both the period of revision and future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts are identified below. While management believes that the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those estimates and may impact the future results of operations.

(e)
Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19’)

The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations.

2.
Adoption of new accounting pronouncements

IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1 ") and IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors ("IAS 8") were amended in October 2018 to refine the definition of materiality and clarify its characteristics. The revised definition focuses on the idea that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company has adopted this amendment and has determined that there is no material impact or disclosure required.

Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information pertaining to these risks is presented throughout financial statements.
There have been no substantive changes in the Company’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks, or the methods used to measure them since December 31, 2019, unless otherwise stated.

(a)
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company has exposure to credit risk from its cash and trade and other receivables. The risk exposure is limited to their carrying amounts at the statement of financial position date. The risk for cash is mitigated by holding these balances with highly-rated financial institutions. The Company therefore does not expect any credit losses on its cash.
The Company uses an allowance matrix to measure the ECLs of trade receivables from customers. Rates are calculated separately for exposures based on the following common credit risk characteristic – the age of the customer relationship.

The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk and ECLs for trade receivables due from customers as at June 30, 2020.

13.
Capital Management

When managing capital, the Company’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to achieve optimal returns to its shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management adjusts the capital structure as necessary in order to support the operation. Management does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain the future development of the business. The Company considers its capital structure to consist of share capital and retained earnings.
Management considers its approach to capital management to be appropriate given the relative size of the Company. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

14.  Subsequent Events

(a)
Sale of Building

On October 20, 2020, the Company completed the sale of a building located at CL 35 SUR 69C 36 to a third party for consideration of $660,000,000.

(“Flora”) and the existing shareholders of the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent pursuant to which Flora will acquire 90% of the issued and outstanding securities of Breeze in exchange for fixed consideration of 700,000,000 COP, as well as contingent consideration of approximately 1,190,000 COP if certain milestones are met.

Independent Auditors’ Report

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Grupo Farmacéutico Cronomed S.A.S. (the ‘Company’), as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the ‘Financial Statements’).
In our opinion, the Financial Statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for Opinion

These Financial Statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s Financial Statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Financial Statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Basis of presentation (continued)
(e)
Going concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has been able to secure long-term debt (Note 7) from banks and related parties (Note 8) to fund its ongoing operations and business activities.
These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and classifications in the consolidated statement of financial position that may be necessary were the Company unable to continue as a going concern and these adjustments could be material.
The business of selling pharmaceutical goods does not involve a high degree of risk. However, there can be no assurance that current business development programs will result in profitable operations. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the purchase of raw materials, conversion of raw materials to inventory, the sale of said inventory, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its assets and operations on an advantageous basis.
As at December 31, 2019, the Company has a net loss of $171,012 (2019 – $424,440).
(f)
Estimates and critical judgements made by management
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and may affect both the period of revision and future periods. While management believes that the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those estimates and may impact the future results of operations. Items for which actual results may differ materially from these estimates are described in the following section.
(i)
Provisions
The Company estimates amounts to be settled in the future, including on contractual obligations, pending litigation and other liabilities.
Such estimates are subject to interpretations of the current facts and circumstances, forecast future events and estimates of the financial effects of such events.
(ii)
Expected credit losses on financial assets
The Company applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on the days past due. The expected loss rates are estimated based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 720 days before December 31, 2019 and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information based on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the Company’s customers to settle the receivables.

Basis of presentation (continued)
(f)
Estimates and critical judgements made by management (continued)
(iii)
Inventory recoverability
The future realization of the carrying amount of inventory is affected by future sales demand, inventory levels, and product quality. Inventory is inspected for loss of value due items such as to damages in packaging, expiry dates and decreases in selling value. Judgement and estimates are applied when performing such assessments based on historical experience and current facts and circumstances.
(iv)
Income taxes
Income taxes and tax exposures recognized in the financial statements reflect management's best estimate of the outcome based on the facts known at the reporting date. When the Company anticipates a future income tax payment based on its estimates, it recognizes a liability. The difference between the expected amount and the final tax outcome has an impact on current and deferred taxes.
In addition, when the Company incurs losses that cannot be associated with current or past profits, it assesses the probability of taxable profits being available in the future based on its budgeted forecasts. These forecasts are adjusted to take into account certain non-taxable income and expenses and specific rules on the use of unused credits and tax losses. When the forecasts indicate that sufficient future taxable income will be available to deduct the temporary differences, a deferred tax asset is recognized.

2.
Adoption of new accounting pronouncements

The Company has adopted the following new and amended accounting pronouncements for the period beginning January 1, 2019.

(a)
IFRS 16 Leases
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases which replaced the previous guidance on leases, predominantly, IAS 17, Leases. This standard introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize all assets and liabilities arising from a lease. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier application permitted for entities that apply IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers at or before the date of initial adoption of IFRS 16.
As at January 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 in accordance with the transitional provisions stipulated in IFRS 16. The Company has applied the following practical expedients:
(i) The Company applied the modified retrospective approach and did not restate comparative information. As a result, any adjustment on initial application is recognized in opening retained earnings as at January 1, 2019.
(ii)  On transition to IFRS 16, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. The Company applied IFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17, and IFRIC 4, were not reassessed for whether there is a lease. The Company applied the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019.

2.
Adoption of new accounting pronouncements (continued)

(a) IFRS 16 Leases (continued)
In accordance with the practical expedients applied, the Company has recognized lease liabilities and right-of-use assets at the date of initial application for leases previously classified as operating leases in accordance with IAS 17. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The Company has also elected to account for leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application as short-term leases. In addition, the Company has elected not to record depreciation of the right-of-use assets prior to the date of initial application. Upon transition to the new standard, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted at the Company's incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were recognized on the consolidated statement of financial position.
As at January 1, 2019, the Company had one non-cancellable lease for a warehouse, resulting in the recognition of a lease liability and right-of-use asset in the amount of $85,583 with $nil cumulative difference recognized in retained earnings. The lease was previously assessed and reported as an operating lease in accordance with IAS 17. The incremental borrowing rate applied on the date of initial application is 13.92%. The right-of-use asset is amortized over 1.08 years, the lesser of lease term and useful life.
The following is the Company's policy for accounting for lease contracts in accordance with IFRS 16.
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of the lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use assets are adjusted for impairment losses, if any. The estimated useful lives and recoverable amounts of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(b) Adoption of IFRIC 23, Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments
IFRIC 23 clarifies the application of recognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12, Income taxes, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. It specifically addresses whether an entity considers each tax treatment independently or collectively, the assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities, how an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, and how an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances.
IFRIC 23 became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier application permitted. The Company has adopted this interpretation as of January 1, 2019 and has assessed no significant impact as a result of the adoption of this interpretation.

2.1
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted
IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1 ") and IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors ("IAS 8") were amended in October 2018 to refine the definition of materiality and clarify its characteristics. The revised definition focuses on the idea that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt these amendments as of their effective date, and is currently assessing the impacts on adoption.

3.
Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below:
(a)
Financial instruments
The Company applies IFRS 9, and aggregates its financial instruments into classes based on their nature and characteristics. Management determines the classification when the instruments are initially recognized.
The Company’s accounting policy is as follows:
(i)
Measurement basis
Financial instruments are measured either at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) or at amortized cost. The table below lists the valuation methods used to determine the fair value of each financial instrument. During the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no financial instruments subsequently measured at fair value.

 
Item
Measurement Method
 
Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss
 
None
 
None
 
Financial instruments measured at amortized cost
 
Cash; Trade and other accounts receivable; Trade and other accounts payable
 
Carrying amount (approximates fair value due to short-term nature)
 
Long-term debt; Due to related parties
Carrying value at the effective interest rate which approximates fair value
(ii)
Impairment of financial assets
The Company applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected credit loss allowance for all trade receivables.
(iii)
Fair value hierarchy
All financial instruments measured at fair value after initial recognition are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels for disclosure purposes. Each level reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the fair value measurements.
Level 1 - valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 - valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Significant accounting policies (continued)
(b)
Income taxes
Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred tax. Current and deferred income tax are recognized in the statement of operations except to the extent that they relate to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income. Current income taxes are the expected taxes payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted, or substantively enacted, at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustments to taxes payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in respect of all qualifying temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined on a non-discounted basis using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the financial position date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset or liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the asset can be utilized.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current.
(c)
Share capital
Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability. The Company’s common shares are classified as equity instruments.
(d)
Provisions
Provisions are recognized for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount that have arisen as a result of past transactions, including legal or constructive obligations.  The provision is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
(e)
Basic and diluted earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the relevant year. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net income or loss applicable to common shares by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding, if potentially dilutive instruments were converted.
(f)
Inventories
Inventories are comprised of raw materials and finished goods. Inventories are initially valued at cost and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined on an average cost basis and any trade discounts and rebates are deducted from the purchase price. Raw material costs include the purchase cost of the materials, freight-in and duty. Finished goods include the cost of direct materials and manufacturing costs billed by third-party manufacturers.
Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories in the ordinary course of business, less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The determination of net realizable value requires significant judgment, including consideration of factors such as shrinkage, the aging of and future demand for inventory and contractual arrangements with customers. To the extent that circumstances have changed subsequently such that the net realizable value has increased, previous write-downs are reversed and recognized in net income (loss) in the year during which the reversal occurs.

Significant accounting policies (continued)
(g)
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s ordinary revenue is from contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized at the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the performance obligation. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration includes the fair value of the asset received or receivable from the sale of goods or services, net of any discounts, provisions for returns, value added taxes and other taxes.
Sales of goods involve a single performance obligation. The Company recognizes the revenue once the obligation has been fulfilled, which is when control over the goods and/or underlying services of the performance obligation have been transferred to the client, at a certain point in time. Such performance obligation is fulfilled at the time the good is delivered to the client. The sale of goods does not involve a significant financing component. The Company provides a 10% discount for payments received within 10 days of delivery and 5% discount for payments received within 30 days. The Company’s payment terms range from 30 to 90 days depending on the type of client (i.e. from distributor to retail seller).

The cost of reducing the inventories to net realizable value is $61,022 (2018 - $39,434), due to the loss recognized for expired raw materials and packaging. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has no inventories committed as security for liabilities.
Production is outsourced to third parties, thus the Company’s inventory of raw materials are stored at the warehouses of these manufacturers. The raw materials are returned as finished goods, which are stored at Company’s warehouses or are transferred directly to the clients.

Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information pertaining to these risks is presented throughout these consolidated financial statements.
There have been no substantive changes in the Company’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks, or the methods used to measure them since December 31, 2018, unless otherwise stated.
(a)
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company has exposure to credit risk from its cash and trade and other accounts receivable. The risk exposure is limited to their carrying amounts at the statement of financial position date. The risk for cash is mitigated by holding these balances with highly-rated financial institutions. The Company therefore does not expect any credit losses on its cash.
The Company's trade and other accounts receivable balance consists of the following:

(c)
Market risk
(i)
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between the Colombian Pesos and other foreign currencies will affect the Company’s operations and financial results. The Company’s foreign currency risk is limited as it operations are based in Colombia and all transactions carried out with clients and supplies are domestic.
(ii)
 Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s long-term debt bears interest as detailed in Note 7. As at December 31, 2029 and 2018, the Company had no hedging agreements in place.

18.
Capital Management

The Company manages its cash and common shares as capital. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital at an acceptable risk level.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash on hand. In order to maximize ongoing production efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends.
Management considers its approach to capital management to be appropriate given the relative size of the Company. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period. The company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements other than the restricted retained earnings discussed in Note 11.

 Subsequent events
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), a global pandemic. Government measures to limit the spread of COVID-19, including the closure of non-essential businesses, had an impact on the Company's operations from the second quarter of 2020. 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, financial position and operating results in the future. In addition, it is possible that estimates in the Company's consolidated 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 intangibles. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business.

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
(Stated in Thousands of Colombian Pesos, Unaudited)

Nature of Business

Grupo Farmacéutico Cronomed S.A.S. (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 11, 2005, and registered on March 16, 2005 by means of public deed number 0000633 of Notary 25 of Bogotá D.C., Colombia, under number 00981754 of book IX. The head office, principal address and registered office of the Company is Carrera 72 M Bis # 37 B - 24 Sur Barrio Carvajal, Bogota, Colombia.
The following activities are included under the Company’s main corporate purpose: to manufacture, sell, export, commercialize and machine all types of products for pharmaceutical use, always supplied under the appropriate license or authorization provided in accordance with applicable law.

1.
Basis of presentation
(a)
Statement of compliance

These interim condensed financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies in compliance with International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”). The accounting policies adopted in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Company’s annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for the adoption of new accounting standards and policies described in Note 2. The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

These interim condensed financial statements do not conform in all respects to the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") for annual financial statements. Accordingly, these interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's December 31, 2019 audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on December 17, 2020.
(b)
Basis of measurement
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except where noted otherwise.
(c)
Functional and presentation currency
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Colombian pesos, unless otherwise stated, which is the Company’s functional currency.

(d)
Basis of consolidation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Labcofarm Laboratorios S.A.S (“Labcofarm”), with intercompany balances and transactions eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Company has control, which exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity and is exposed to the variable returns from its activities.

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
(Stated in Thousands of Colombian Pesos, Unaudited)

1.
Basis of presentation
(d) Basis of consolidation (continued)
Labcofarm was incorporated in accordance with Colombian law on November 20, 2013, domiciled in Bogotá (Colombia). The Company acquired 100% of the shares of Labocofarm in 2017. Its corporate purpose is: the production, wholesale and retail commercialization of various products for use in medicine, odontology, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, perfumes and toiletries, production and commercialization of various types of products for human consumption, household products, equipment, certain products and raw materials, the import and export of various products for national consumption, and commercialization of various legal products in Colombia through specialized retailers.

(e)
Estimates and critical judgements made by management
The preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and may affect both the period of revision and future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts are identified below. While management believes that the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those estimates and may impact the future results of operations.

(f)
Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”)
In March 2019, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), a global pandemic. Government measures to limit the spread of COVID-19, including the closure of non-essential businesses, had an impact on the Company's operations from the second quarter of 2020. 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, financial position and operating results in the future. In addition, it is possible that estimates in the Company's interim condensed consolidated 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 intangibles. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business.

2.
Adoption of new accounting pronouncements

IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1 ") and IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors ("IAS 8") were amended in October 2018 to refine the definition of materiality and clarify its characteristics. The revised definition focuses on the idea that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company has adopted this amendment and has determined that there is no material impact or disclosure required.

Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information pertaining to these risks is presented throughout these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
There have been no substantive changes in the Company’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks, or the methods used to measure them since December 31, 2019, unless otherwise stated.
(a)
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company has exposure to credit risk from its cash and trade and other accounts receivable. The risk exposure is limited to their carrying amounts at the statement of financial position date. The risk for cash is mitigated by holding these balances with highly-rated financial institutions. The Company therefore does not expect any credit losses on its cash.
The Company's trade and other accounts receivable balance consists of the following:

Financial Instruments (continued)

(b)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet the financial obligations associated with its financial liabilities as they come due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate credit facilities with suppliers of between 30 days and 180 days, and with financial entities between 30 days to more than one year. As at June 30, 2020, the Company had working capital of $849,240 (December 31, 2019 – $877,666). The Company has the following undiscounted contractual obligations subject to liquidity risk as at June 30, 2020:

(c)
Market risk
(i)
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between the Colombian Pesos and other foreign currencies will affect the Company’s operations and financial results. The Company’s foreign currency risk is limited as it operations are based in Colombia and all transactions carried out with clients and supplies are domestic.
(ii)
 Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s long-term debt bears interest as detailed in Note 6. As at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no hedging agreements in place.

13.
Capital Management

The Company manages its cash and common shares as capital. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital at an acceptable risk level.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash on hand. In order to maximize ongoing production efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends.
Management considers its approach to capital management to be appropriate given the relative size of the Company. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period. The company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements other than the restricted retained earnings discussed in Note 9.

Independent Auditors’ Report

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of Kasa Wholefoods Company S.A.S. (the ‘Company’), as of December 31, 2019, and the related statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the ‘Financial Statements’).
In our opinion, the Financial Statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
The accompanying Financial Statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements, the Company has a negative net equity at the end of the 2019 of 780 million pesos and an accumulated net loss at the end of 2019 of 729 million pesos that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These Financial Statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s Financial Statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Financial Statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1. Basis of Presentation
(a)  Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) applicable to the preparation of these financial statements.

These financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 were authorized for issuance by the Legal Representative of the Company on December 16, 2020.
(b)  Basis of measurement
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention except certain assets and financial instruments measured at fair value.
(c)  Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Colombian pesos ("COP") unless otherwise noted, which is the Company’s functional currency.
(d)  Estimates and critical judgements made by management
The preparation of these financial statements, in conformity with IFRS, requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and may affect both the period of revision and future periods. While management believes that the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those estimates and may impact the future results of operations.
Allowance for credit losses
The Company makes an assessment of whether accounts receivable are collectable, based on an expected credit loss model which factors in changes in credit quality since the initial recognition of trade accounts receivable. A significant increase in credit risk is determined based on the financial condition as well as current and past payment history. The Company is not able to predict changes in the financial condition of its customers, and if circumstances related to its customers’ financial condition deteriorate, the estimates of the recoverability of trade accounts receivable could be materially affected and the Company could be required to record additional allowances. Alternatively, if the Company provides more allowances than needed, a reversal of a portion of such allowances in future periods may be required based on actual collection experience.

Income Taxes
Provisions for income taxes are based on statutory income tax rates and the amount of income earned in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Significant judgement is required in determining income tax provisions and the recoverability of deferred tax assets. The calculation of current and deferred income tax requires management to make estimates regarding the carrying values of assets and liabilities that include estimates of future cash flows and earnings related to such assets and liabilities, the interpretation of income tax legislation in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and the timing of reversal of temporary differences. The Company may adjust the balances in future periods based on updated tax laws and other circumstances. To the extent that these adjustments differ from original estimates, deferred tax assets and liabilities, net earnings, and comprehensive income will be affected in future periods.

2. Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. It will need to raise additional capital in the near term to fund its ongoing operations and business activities. While the Company has long-term debt (Note 7), majority investors plan to increase the capital stock of the company. However, there is no assurance if this financing will proceed as planned.
These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and classifications in the statement of financial position that may be necessary were the Company unable to continue as a going concern and these adjustments could be material.
The business of consumer goods does not involve a high degree of risk. However, there can be no assurance that current business development programs will result in profitable operations. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the purchase of raw materials, conversion of raw materials to inventory, the sale of said inventory, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its assets and operations on an advantageous basis.
As at December 31, 2019, the Company has a net loss of $729,069,271 and a working capital deficiency of $257,748,747.

3. Significant Accounting Policies and Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of new or amended accounting pronouncements

 (a)
IFRS 16 Leases
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases which replaced the previous guidance on leases, predominantly, IAS 17, Leases. This standard introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize all assets and liabilities arising from a lease. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier application permitted for entities that apply IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers at or before the date of initial adoption of IFRS 16.
As at January 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 in accordance with the transitional provisions stipulated in IFRS 16. The Company has applied the following practical expedients:

(i)
The Company applied the modified retrospective approach and did not restate comparative information. As a result, any adjustment on initial application is recognized in accumulated deficit as at January 1, 2019.

(ii)
On transition to IFRS 16, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17, and IFRIC 4, Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease, were not reassessed for whether there is a lease. The Company applied the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019.
The adoption of IFRS 16 as at January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on these financial statements.
         (b)       Adoption of IFRIC 23, Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments
IFRIC 23 clarifies the application of recognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12, Income taxes, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. It specifically addresses whether an entity considers each tax treatment independently or collectively, the assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities, how an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, and how an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances.
IFRIC 23 became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier application permitted. The Company has adopted this interpretation as of January 1, 2019 and has assessed no significant impact as a result of the adoption of this interpretation.
         (c)        Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted
IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1 ") and IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors ("IAS 8") were amended in October 2018 to refine the definition of materiality and clarify its characteristics. The revised definition focuses on the idea that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt these amendments as of their effective date, and is currently assessing the impacts on adoption.

Significant accounting policies
         (a)        Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials and finished products. Finished products include beverage produced and ready for commercialization. Consistent with IAS 2, the Company initially recognizes the inventory at purchase price plus costs of acquisition. Inventories are subsequently measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
At the period ended, if the net realizable value is greater than the cost, the Company will write-down the inventories to net realizable value. In a subsequent period, if the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realizable value because of changed economic circumstances, the amount of the write-down is reversed at the lower of the cost and the revised net realizable value.
         (b)        Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the assets' estimated useful lives.
Vehicles – Straight-line over 5 years
Computers - Straight-line over 1 - 3 years
An asset’s residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted if appropriate. When parts of an item of plant, property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components).
During their construction, property, plant and equipment are not subject to depreciation. When the asset is available for use, depreciation commences.
         (c)        Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the assets' estimated useful lives.
Software License            3 years
Estimated useful lives and amortization methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
         (d)        Impairment of Non-financial Assets
Impairment tests on goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are undertaken annually at the financial year-end. For long-lived assets and intangible assets with a finite life, the Company reviews their carrying amounts at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication that the carrying amount is not recoverable. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down accordingly.
If impairment losses are subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit are increased, but not in excess of the amount that would have been determined if no impairment losses had been recognized in previous periods. The reversal of impairment losses will be recognized in the period’s profit or loss. This is not applicable for goodwill.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Fair value is determined as the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows resulting from the asset’s use and eventual disposition are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
When an individual asset does not generate independent cash flows, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
         (e)        Financial Instruments
Financial Assets
The Company measures its financial assets at Fair Value through Profit and Loss (“FVTPL”), Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (“FVOCI”), or amortized cost based on the business model of the asset.
The Company initially records financial assets at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction cost unless it is FVTPL.
The Company’s financial assets include cash, trade and other receivables, due to shareholders and due to partners and shareholders, which are subsequently measured at amortized cost. The Company applies the following policy: for a debt instrument, the business model consists of collecting contractual cash flows and holding financial assets, and payments are solely comprised of principal and interest. These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, net of impairment losses.
Financial Liabilities
The Company measures its financial liabilities as Fair Value through Profit and Loss (“FVTPL”) or amortized cost. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, other liabilities, and long-term debt, which are measured at amortized cost. The Company applies the following policy. Financial liabilities are required to be measured at amortized cost, unless it meets an exception under IFRS 9 or is irrevocably designated as FVTPL to produce more relevant information. Subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Impairment
The Company is required to recognize expected credit losses (“ECLs”) for financial assets measured at amortized cost. Application of the general method depends on the following credit stages of the financial assets:
 Stage 1: For new receivables and for receivables that have not experienced a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognized equal to the 12-month expected credit losses;
 Stage 2: For receivables that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk relative to the initial recognition of the financial asset, a loss allowance is recognized equal to the credit losses expected over the remaining life of the asset; and
 Stage 3 – For receivables considered to be credit-impaired, a loss allowance is recognized equal to credit losses expected over the remaining lifetime of the asset. Interest income is calculated based on the carrying amount of the asset, net of the loss allowance, rather than on its gross carrying amount.
The evaluation of the allowance for expected credit losses for the Company is performed collectively for Stage 1 and Stage 2 as the portfolio is composed of a large number of similar trade receivables.

For the purpose of measuring ECLs, a significant increase in credit risk is defined as either when the credit is 30 days past due or where has increasing doubts about the collectability of the credit. Credits are considered impaired when the borrower has experienced financial difficulties or there is a breach of contract. According to the Company's policy, loans that have no reasonable expectation of recovery are written off.
The expected credit loss is based on historical loss rates of the Company and comparable Colombian companies with consideration of forward looking information. The losses are probability-weighted and consider the time value of money.
Expected credit losses are recognized in income and netted against trade and other receivables.
         (f)         Income Taxes
Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred tax. Current and deferred income tax are recognized in the statement of operations except to the extent that they relate to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income. Current income taxes are the expected taxes payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted, or substantively enacted, at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustments to taxes payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in respect of all qualifying temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined on a non-discounted basis using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the financial position date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset or liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the asset can be utilized.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current.
         (g)       Employee Benefits

Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits that are expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. When an employee has rendered service to an entity during an accounting period, the entity shall recognize the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service as a liability (accrued expense) or an expense. The liability is recorded at an undiscounted amount.

Post-employment benefits are employee that are payable after the completion of employment, which include defined benefit and defined contribution plans.

Other long-term employee benefits are all employee benefits other than short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits and termination benefits.

Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in exchange for the termination of an employee's employment.

The Company provides loans to its employees at below-market rates. When an employee loan is extended that is not at market rate, the difference between the price of the loan and the fair value of the loan at market rate represents and employee benefit and is accounted for under IAS 19. The fair value of the loan is accounted for as a financial instrument under IFRS 9; refer to the discussion on financial instruments above.

         (h)       Share Capital
Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability. The Company’s common shares are classified as equity instruments.
         (i)         Provisions
Provisions are recognized for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount that have arisen as a result of past transactions, including legal or constructive obligations.  The provision is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
         (j)         Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the relevant year. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing the net income or loss applicable to common shares by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding, if potentially dilutive instruments were converted.
         (k)        Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized at the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the performance obligation. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer.
The Company has two revenue streams related to contracts: juice products and transportation services to deliver juices, which are assessed as one performance obligation. The Company primarily sells the juice products to large, local retailers and grocers; revenue is only earned in Colombia. Revenue from juices and transportation is recognized once the performance obligation has been satisfied, which would be upon delivery to the customer. Juices and transportation services are invoiced separately; the transaction price for each product and service is determined based on the respective invoice.
Initially, the Company will require cash and not extend credit with newer customers. Once a relationship is built, a credit of 30 days before payment is due. For larger, well-known customers, a credit of 90 days is extended before payment is due. The Company does not offer refunds on its products.

The Company subsequently measures all financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost.
The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information pertaining to these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.
There have been no substantive changes in the Company’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks, or the methods used to measure them since December 31, 2018, unless otherwise stated.
(a)  Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company has exposure to credit risk from its cash and trade and other receivables. The risk exposure is limited to their carrying amounts at the statement of financial position date. The risk for cash is mitigated by holding these balances with Colombian financial institutions. The Company therefore does not expect any credit losses on its cash. As at December 31, 2019, $46,289,104 (2018 - $1,655,163) of the trade and other receivables balance relates to other receivables, which mainly consists of reserves for credits factored to third parties. The Company does not expect any credit losses on its other receivables. Therefore, expected credit loss is estimated only on the remaining trade receivables balances with customers of $84,511,118.

13.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Assets recorded at fair value in the statement of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 - valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 - valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

There are no financial instruments subsequently measured at fair value. All financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortized cost.
   
Financial instruments measured at amortized cost
 
Cash; trade & other receivables; trade and other payables; other payables; due to partner and shareholders
Carrying amount (approximates fair value due to short-term nature)
Long-term debt
Carrying value at the effective interest rate which approximates fair value

16.Capital Management

The Company manages its cash and common shares as capital. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its business and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital at an acceptable risk level.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and short-term investments on hand.
In order to maximize ongoing production efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. The Company’s policy is to hold cash on hand to invest further in the operations of the business.
Management considers its approach to capital management to be appropriate given the relative size of the Company. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period.

17. Subsequent Events
(a)  COVID-19 Estimation Uncertainty
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), a global pandemic. Government measures to limit the spread of COVID-19, including the closure of non-essential businesses, are expected to impact the business. As of the release date of these financial statements, management has identified no material impact to the business as a result of COVID-19 and will continue to monitor the situation as it progresses.
(b)  On January 3rd, 2020, Flora Growth Corp. announced that is entered into an agreement to acquire 90% equity interest in the Company.
In order to close the Transaction, Flora must pay to shareholders of Kasa USD$294,000 in cash and repay Kasa’s outstanding loan payables of USD$91,000.  The transaction is subject to the parties negotiating and entering into a definitive agreement and obtaining of the necessary regulatory approvals.

KASA WHOLEFOODS COMPANY S.A.S.
Notes to Interim Condensed Financial Statements
For the six months ended June 30, 2020
(Stated in Colombian Pesos)
(Unaudited)

Nature of Business
Kasa Wholefoods Company S.A.S. (“the Company”) is a private company incorporated on June 27, 2013 in Bogotá, Colombia. On July 2, 2013, the Company registered under the Mercantile Registry of the Chamber of Commerce. The head office and principal address of the Company is Calle 93B No. 13 - 50 Bogotá, Colombia.
The Company is a producer of exotic fruit juices which works with local farmers and indigenous Amazonian communities to cultivate its products. The Company operates under the Mambe brand and sells its product in large Colombian retailers such as Carulla, Tostao’ Café & Pan, and Deli Reposteria. Recently, it has invested in the research and development of CBD-infused juices and chocolates.

1. Basis of Presentation
(a)
Statement of compliance

These interim condensed financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies in compliance with International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”). The accounting policies adopted in preparing these interim condensed financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Company’s annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for the adoption of new accounting standards and policies described in Note 2. The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

These interim condensed financial statements do not conform in all respects to the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") for annual financial statements. Accordingly, these interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's December 31, 2019 audited annual financial statements and notes.

These financial statements for the period ended June 30, 3030 were authorized for issuance by the Legal Representative of the Company on December 17, 2020.
(b)
Basis of measurement
These interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention except certain assets and financial instruments measured at fair value.
(c)
Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Colombian pesos ("COP") unless otherwise noted, which is the Company’s functional currency.

(d)
Estimates and critical judgements made by management
The preparation of these interim condensed financial statements, in conformity with IFRS, requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The interim condensed financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and may affect both the period of revision and future periods. While management believes that the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those estimates and may impact the future results of operations.

Notes to Interim Condensed Financial Statements
For the six months ended June 30, 2020

(e)
COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), a global pandemic. Government measures to limit the spread of COVID-19, including the closure of non-essential businesses, are expected to impact the business. As of the release date of these interim condensed financial statements, management has identified no material impact to the business as a result of COVID-19 and will continue to monitor the situation as it progresses.

2.
Adoption of New or Amended Accounting Pronouncements
IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1 ") and IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors ("IAS 8") were amended in October 2018 to refine the definition of materiality and clarify its characteristics. The revised definition focuses on the idea that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of the IAS 1 amendment did not have a material impact on the interim condensed financial statements.
3.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. It will need to raise additional capital in the near term to fund its ongoing operations and business activities. While the Company has long-term debt (Note 7), majority investors plan to increase the capital stock of the company. However, there is no assurance if this financing will proceed as planned.
These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and classifications in the statement of financial position that may be necessary were the Company unable to continue as a going concern and these adjustments could be material.
The business of consumer goods does not involve a high degree of risk. However, there can be no assurance that current business development programs will result in profitable operations. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the purchase of raw materials, conversion of raw materials to inventory, the sale of said inventory, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its assets and operations on an advantageous basis.
As at June 30, 2020, the Company has a net loss of $221,051,842 and $491,510,617 for the 3 and 6 months ended respectively. The Company also has a working capital deficiency of $280,347,587.

(a)
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company has exposure to credit risk from its cash, trade and other receivables and partner and shareholders loans. The risk exposure is limited to their carrying amounts at the statement of financial position date. The risk for cash is mitigated by holding these balances with Colombian financial institutions. The Company therefore does not expect any credit losses on its cash. As at June 30, 2020, $49,358,406 (2019 - $46,289,104) of the trade and other receivables balance relates to other receivables, which mainly consists of reserves for credits factored to third parties. The Company does not expect any credit losses on its other receivables. Therefore, expected credit loss is estimated only on the remaining trade receivables balances with customers of $57,830,631.
The Company's trade receivable from customer balance consists of the following:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Assets recorded at fair value in the statement of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 - valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 - valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

There are no financial instruments subsequently measured at fair value. All financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortized cost.

Financial instruments measured at amortized cost
 
Cash; trade & other receivables; trade and other payables; other payables
Carrying amount (approximates fair value due to short-term nature)
Long-term debt
Carrying value at the effective interest rate which approximates fair value

KASA WHOLEFOODS COMPANY S.A.S.
Notes to Interim Condensed Financial Statements
For the six months ended June 30, 2020
(Stated in Colombian Pesos)
(Unaudited)
 
15.
Capital Management

The Company manages its cash and common shares as capital. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its business and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital at an acceptable risk level.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and short-term investments on hand.
In order to maximize ongoing production efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. The Company’s policy is to hold cash on hand to invest further in the operations of the business.
Management considers its approach to capital management to be appropriate given the relative size of the Company. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period.

FLORA GROWTH CORP.
Notes to the Unaudited Pro-Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Expressed in US Dollars)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of Flora Growth Corp. (“Flora”) and Kasa Wholefoods Company S.A.S (“Kasa”), Grupo Farmaceutico Cronomed S.A.S. (“Cronomed”) and Breeze Laboratory S.A.S. (“Breeze”) which comprise the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at June  30, 2020 and the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2019, have been prepared by management of Flora for illustrative purposes only, to show the effect of the combination of Flora with Kasa, Cronomed, and Breeze as well as the effect of the initial public offering (“IPO”) of Flora’s common shares on a stock exchange. As more fully described in Note 3, Flora entered into agreements pursuant to which Flora will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Cronomed, and 90% of the issued and outstanding securities of Kasa and Breeze (the “Business Combinations”). Completion of the IPO and the Business Combinations is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the receipt of shareholder and regulatory approval.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been compiled from:

a) The audited consolidated financial statements of Flora as at December 31, 2019 and for the period from March 13, 2019 (incorporation) to December 31, 2019;
b) The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Flora as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2020;
c) The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Cronomed as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2020;
d) The unaudited condensed financial statements of Kasa as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2020;
e) The unaudited condensed financial statements of Breeze as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2020;
f) The audited consolidated financial statements of Cronomed as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019;
g) The audited financial statements of Kasa as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019; and
h) The audited financial statements of Breeze as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019.

These pro-forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars which is expected to be the functional currency of Flora. For the purposes of these pro forma condensed consolidated statements, the statements of financial position of Cronomed, Kasa, and Breeze have been translated from Colombian Pesos (“COP”) (the functional and reporting currency of Cronomed, Kasa, and Breeze) to US Dollars using the exchange rate as at June 30, 2020 (1 USD = 3,758.91 COP), and the statements of loss and comprehensive loss have been translated at the average exchange rates for the respective periods.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at June 30, 2020 has been prepared as if the Business Combinations and IPO described in Notes 3 and 4 and pro forma adjustments described in Note 5 had occurred on June 30, 2020, and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2019 have been prepared as if the Business Combinations and IPO described in Notes 3 and 4 and pro forma adjustments described in Note 5 had occurred on January 1, 2019. It is management’s opinion that the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, in all material respects, the Business Combinations, IPO, assumptions and adjustments described in Notes 3, 4, and 5 are consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not intended to reflect the financial position of Flora which would have actually resulted had the Business Combinations and IPO been affected on the dates indicated. Actual amounts recorded upon consummation of the agreements will likely differ from those recorded in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. Any potential synergies that may be realized and integration costs that may be incurred upon consummation of the Business Combinations have been excluded from the unaudited pro-forma condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain elements of the financial statements of Flora, Cronomed, Kasa, and Breeze have been reclassified to provide a consistent format.

FLORA GROWTH CORP.
Notes to the Unaudited Pro-Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Expressed in US Dollars)

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Flora as at and for the period from March 13, 2019 to December 31, 2019, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Flora as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, the unaudited condensed financial statements of Cronomed, Kasa, and Breeze as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the audited financial statements of Cronomed, Kasa, and Breeze as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019 including notes thereto.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are as set out in Flora’s audited consolidated financial statements for the period from March 13, 2019 to December 31, 2019. In preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, a review was undertaken to identify accounting policy differences between Flora, Cronomed, Kasa, and Breeze where the impact was potentially material and could be reasonably estimated. Accounting policy differences may be identified after consummation and integration of the proposed Business Combinations. However, the significant accounting policies of Flora are believed to conform, in all material respects, to those of Cronomed, Kasa, and Breeze.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

(a)  Cronomed

On August 3, 2020, Flora and the shareholders of Cronomed entered into a share purchase agreement pursuant to which Flora will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Cronomed in exchange for $1 million. In addition, Flora previously paid fees related to the acquisition of $131,579.

Completion of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, agreement of terms and conditions satisfactory to all parties of Flora and Cronomed, satisfactory completion of due diligence, obtaining all regulatory approvals, and the signing of a definitive agreement. There can be no assurance that the Business Combination will be completed as proposed or at all. Refer to Note 5(m) for estimated purchase price allocation.
(b)  Kasa

In December 2020, Flora and the existing shareholders of Kasa entered into a non-binding letter of intent pursuant to which Flora will acquire 90% of the issued and outstanding securities of Kasa in exchange for $235,600.

Completion of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, agreement of terms and conditions satisfactory to all parties of Flora and Kasa, satisfactory completion of due diligence, obtaining all regulatory approvals, and the signing of a definitive agreement. There can be no assurance that the Business Combination will be completed as proposed or at all. Refer to Note 5(m) for estimated purchase price allocation.
(c)  Breeze

In December 2020, Flora and the existing shareholders of Breeze entered into a non-binding letter of intent pursuant to which Flora will acquire 90% of the issued and outstanding securities of Breeze in exchange for fixed consideration of $206,200, as well as estimated contingent consideration of approximately 700,000,000 COP (approximately $186,224 USD) if certain milestones are met.

Completion of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, agreement of terms and conditions satisfactory to all parties of Flora and Breeze, satisfactory completion of due diligence, obtaining all regulatory approvals, and the signing of a definitive agreement. There can be no assurance that the Business Combination will be completed as proposed or at all. Refer to Note 5(m) for estimated purchase price allocation.

4. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Flora intends to issue securities under a planned initial public offering (“IPO”), consisting of the Company’s common shares that will be applied to trade on the Nasdaq. The IPO is subject to a regulatory process and may not be completed as proposed or at all.

5. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position reflects the following adjustments as if the Business Combinations and IPO had occurred on June 30, 2020. The unaudited pro-forma condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 reflect the following adjustments as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2019.

(a)
To eliminate the intercompany loan between Kasa and Flora.

(b)
To eliminate the intercompany advances between Cronomed, Breeze, Kasa and Flora.

(c)
To record the issuance of additional units pursuant to Regulation A Financing to December 2020 and record the release of restricted cash from prior issuances. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the subscriber to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $1.00 with an expiry date of eighteen months from the issuance date. The completion of the raise includes an additional 22,829,900 units at a price of $0.75 per unit. The proceeds are allocated between common shares and warrants. The warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes model, applying the following assumptions:
Current stock price - $0.64
Exercise price - $1.00
Risk free rate – 0.25%
Volatility – 100%
Time to expiry – 1.5 years

(d)
To record 2,850,000 and 1,500,000 stock options issued to employees, directors, and consultants of Flora subsequent to June 30, 2020. The stock options have an exercise price of $0.75 per share with a five year expiry date. The stock options which vest immediately subject to a four month hold are valued using the Black-Scholes model, applying the following assumptions:
Current stock price - $0.64
Exercise price - $0.75
Risk free rate – 0.36%
Volatility – 100%
Time to expiry – 5 years

(e)
These pro-forma condensed consolidated financial statements exclude amounts to be raised in the intended IPO until a determination of sizing and pricing is reached between the Company and the Representative of the underwriters.

(g)
To record broker fees related to the Regulation A Financing, which includes warrants equal to 7% of the units issued under the Regulation A Financing subsequent to September 8, 2020. This is estimated to include 1,196,422 broker warrants with an exercise price of $1.00 per share and an expiry of five years. These issuance costs are allocated between share capital and warrants, consistent with the allocation of the proceeds of the Regulation A Financing. The warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes model, applying the following assumptions:
Current stock price - $0.64
Exercise price - $1.00
Risk free rate – 0.36%
Volatility – 100%
Time to expiry – 5 years

(h)

(n)
To record the acquisition of an additional 10% of Flora Beauty LLC, which was incorporated on February 12, 2020. Flora originally owned 77% of Flora Beauty LLC. To acquire the additional 10%, Flora issued 190,000 common shares, valued at $0.64 per share and paid $100. As this transaction does not impact Flora’s level of influence, the transaction is accounted for within shareholders’ equity.


(o)

To acquire the additional 20%, Flora issued 285,000 common shares, valued at $0.64 per share and paid $100. As this transaction does not impact Flora’s level of influence, the transaction is accounted for within shareholders’ equity.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
In accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and pursuant to the bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”), subject to certain conditions, the Company shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or another individual who acts or acted at the Company’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including any amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Company or other entity. We shall advance monies to a director, officer or other individual for costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such a proceeding; provided that such individual shall repay the moneys if the individual does not fulfill the conditions described below or is not successful on the merits in their defense of the action or proceeding. Indemnification is prohibited unless the individual:

Acted honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests;
In the case of a criminal or administration action or proceeding enforced by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds to believe the conduct was lawful; and
Was not judged by a court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done.

Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
Pursuant to an offering under Tier 2 of Regulation A, Tier 2 under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company completed its offering of 40,000,000 Units of the Company.  The Regulation A Offering was qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 12, 2019.  Each Unit is comprised of one Common Share, with no par value per share and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant to purchase one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $1.00 per whole warrant share, subject to certain adjustments, over an 18-month exercise period following the date of issuance of the warrant. The Units were offered at a purchase price of $0.75 per Unit.

The Company engaged Dalmore Group, LLC, a New York limited liability company and FINRA/SIPC registered broker-dealer (“Dalmore”), to provide broker-dealer services in seven specified states, including Washington, Arizona, Texas, Alabama, North Dakota, Florida and New Jersey, in connection with the Regulation A Offering.  The Company agreed to pay Dalmore a one-time setup fee of $25,000, as described in the Broker-Dealer Agreement between the Company and Dalmore, as well as a 3% commission on the aggregate amount raised by the Company from investors in the specified states from the sale of Units. Commissions are not payable upon exercise of the warrants.

As of the date of this prospectus, the Company has received subscriptions totaling approximately $29,997,195 pursuant to the Regulation A Offering. The Regulation A Offering closed in December 2020 with 40,000,000 Units sold and $30,000,000 in gross proceeds raised.  We used the proceeds from the Regulation A Offering to fund our cannabis program and general and administrative operating costs.

Pursuant to an engagement letter between Boustead Securities, LLC (“Boustead”) and the Company, dated as of September 8, 2020, Boustead is entitled to receive warrants in connection with the closing of certain debt financing transactions between Boustead and the Company. Such warrants shall be for the purchase of a number of Common Shares equal to 4.0% of the gross proceeds from each such debt financing transaction, divided by the price per share paid by investors in the Company’s most recent financing.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant (which we refer to as the “Registrant”) hereby undertakes:

(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)
To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering.  Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act need not be furnished, provided that the Registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements.

(5)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act;

(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the Registrant or used or referred to by the Registrant;

(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the Registrant; and

(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the Registrant to the purchaser.

138


(b)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(c) The Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A under the Securities Act and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof
139

●, 2021

Flora Growth Corp.
65 Queen Street West, Suite 800
Toronto, Ontario M5H 2M5

Re: Flora Growth Corp.


Dear Sirs/Mesdames:

We have acted as Canadian counsel to Flora Growth Corp., an Ontario corporation (the “Corporation”), in connection with the Corporation’s filing of a Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-●) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Corporation under the Securities Act of 1933 of the United States (the “Act”) relating to the initial public offering (the “Offering”) by the Corporation of ● common shares, without par value, of the Corporation (the “Shares”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement to be entered into on or prior to the closing date of the Offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between the Corporation and Boustead Securities, LLC, as representative, and the other several underwriters to be named therein.

Documents Reviewed

For the purposes of this opinion, we have examined and relied on, but have not participated in the preparation of, among other things, the following:

(a)
a certified copy dated ●, 2021 of the constating documents and by-laws of the Corporation;

(b)
a certificate of status dated ●, 2021 issued by the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services (Ontario) in respect of the Corporation (the “Certificate of Status”); and

(c)
resolutions of the directors of the Corporation relating to the Offering and the transactions contemplated thereby, including resolutions of the directors approving, among other things, the Offering.

As to certain matters of fact, we have relied on a certificate of even date herewith of an officer of the Corporation (the “Officer’s Certificate”).

In preparation for the delivery of this opinion, we have examined the above-mentioned documents and we have examined all such other documents and made such other investigations as we consider relevant and necessary in order to give this opinion. In particular, we have not reviewed, and express no opinion on, any document that is referred to or incorporated by reference into the documents reviewed by us. As to various questions of fact material to this opinion which we have not independently established, we have examined and relied upon, without independent verification, certificates of public officials and officers of the Corporation including, without limitation, the Officer’s Certificate.
1


For purposes of the opinion set forth below, we have assumed:

(a)
the legal capacity of all individuals;

(b)
the genuineness of all signatures on, and the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic or original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, telecopied, photostatic, electronically transmitted copies (including commercial reproductions);

(c)
the identity and capacity of any person acting or purporting to act as a corporate or public official;

(d)
the accuracy and completeness of all information provided to us by public officials or offices of public record;

(e)
the accuracy and completeness of all representations and statements of fact contained in all documents, instruments and certificates (including the Officer’s Certificate);

(f)
the accuracy and completeness of the minute books and all other corporate records of the Corporation reviewed by us;

(g)
the facts stated in the Certificate of Status continue to be true as of the date hereof;

(h)
the Shares will be offered, issued and sold in compliance with applicable United States federal and state securities laws, and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement; and

(i)
that the facts stated in the Certificate of Status and the Officer’s Certificate shall continue to be true and correct as at the date of completion of the Offering.

We have not undertaken any independent investigation to verify the accuracy of any of the foregoing assumptions.

When our opinion refers to Shares to be issued as being “fully paid and non-assessable”, such opinion indicates that the holder of such Shares cannot be required to contribute any further amounts to the Corporation by virtue of his, her or its status as holder of such Securities, either in order to complete payment for the Shares, to satisfy claims of creditors or otherwise. No opinion is expressed as to the adequacy of any consideration received for such Shares.

We are qualified to practise law only in the Province of Ontario. Our opinion below is limited to the existing laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein as of the date of this opinion and should not be relied upon, nor are they given, in respect of the laws of any other jurisdiction. In particular, we express no opinion as to United States federal or state securities laws or any other laws, rule or regulation, federal or state, applicable to the Corporation. We disclaim any obligation or duty to update this opinion to reflect any changes in such laws or other circumstances after the date hereof.

In rendering our opinion in paragraph 1 below as to the valid existence of the Corporation, we have relied solely on the Certificate of Status, a copy of which has been delivered to you.
2


Based and relying upon and subject to the foregoing and the qualifications expressed below, we are of the opinion that:

1.
The Corporation is a corporation existing under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and has not been dissolved.

2.
The Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Corporation and, upon payment and delivery in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We hereby consent to the reference to our firm’s name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement and the filing of this opinion with the SEC as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.  In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder.

This opinion letter is furnished to you at your request in accordance with the requirements of Item 8(5.1) of Form F-1 in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement, and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise relied upon for any other purpose.  No opinion is expressed as to the contents of the Registration Statement, other than the opinions expressly set forth herein relating to the Shares. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof unless otherwise expressly stated, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or of any subsequent changes in applicable laws.

Yours truly,
