REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Directors of
TruHC Pharma GmbH

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of TruHC Pharma GmbH (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2023, and the related statements of loss and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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, events and conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s 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 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 and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 audits 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 audits 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 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. In addition to the matter described in the Going Concern section, we determined that there are no other critical audit matters.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2024.

TruHC Pharma GmbH
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
(in Euros, except shares amount)
 

 

1.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS

TruHC Pharma GmbH (the "Company" or "TruHC") was incorporated under the laws of Germany on February 17, 2022. The Company engages in the import, distribution, and manufacturing of medical cannabis and operates a production facility. The Company's registered office and principal place of business in Germany is located at Poppenbütteler Bogen 68 22399 Hamburg, Germany. At December 31, 2023, all of the Company's issued and outstanding shares were owned by TruHC Holding GmbH ("TruHC Holding").

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, meaning that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations.

 

2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These financial statements have been presented in Euros and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). The Company has determined that the Euro is the functional and reporting currency as the majority of our operations are conducted in Euros and the financial results are prepared and reviewed internally by management in Euros.

Going concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue for a period of at least one year after the date these financial statements are issued and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

Pursuant to the requirements of ASC Topic 205-40, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, management must evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date these financial statements are issued. This evaluation does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of management's plans that have not been fully implemented or are not within control of the Company as of the date the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management's plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

The Company had cash of €13,588 at December 31, 2023, net loss of €371,787 for the year ended December 31, 2023, and an accumulated deficit of €588,669 at December 31, 2023. Current economic and market conditions have put pressure on the Company's growth plans. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional capital. The Company believes that its current level of cash is not sufficient to continue investing in growth, while at the same time meeting its obligations as they become due. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. To alleviate these conditions, management is currently evaluating various cost reductions and other alternatives and may seek to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, debt securities, through arrangements with strategic partners or, through obtaining credit from financial institutions and the possible disposition of assets or otherwise. The actual amount that the Company may be able to raise under these alternatives will depend on market conditions and other factors. As it seeks additional sources of financing, there can be no assurance that such financing would be available to the Company on favorable terms or at all. The Company’s ability to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity capital markets is subject to several factors, including but not limited to market and economic conditions, the Company’s performance and investor sentiment with respect to it and its industry. These financial statements do not include any adjustments for the recovery and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
(in Euros, except shares amount)
 

Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying values of amounts receivable, prepaids and other current assets, and trade and amounts payable, accrued liabilities, and current portion of lease liability approximate their fair values due to their short periods to maturity.

The financial statements are presented in Euros ("€") unless otherwise noted.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

03.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies used by the Company are as follows:

Cash

Cash in the statements of financial position includes cash on hand.

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

The Company aggregates its financial assets into classes at the time of initial recognition based on the Company's business model and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

No financial assets are or were elected to be carried at fair value through profit or loss ("FVPL") or where changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss. 

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 considering any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. In these financial statements, cash, amounts receivable  are classified in this category.

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 financial assets subject to impairment are cash, and amounts receivable.

Amounts receivable are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, less any provisions for impairment. Impairment provisions are estimated using the ECL impairment model where any expected future credit losses are provided for, irrespective of whether a loss event has occurred at the reporting date. Estimates of expected credit losses consider the Company's collection history by customer, deterioration of collection rates during the average credit period, as well as observable changes in and forecasts of future economic conditions that affect default risk. The Company utilizes a provision matrix to estimate lifetime ECL's for receivables, supplemented by specific allowance based on customer-specific data. Changes in the allowance are recognized as bad debt expense in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss. When the Company determines that no recovery of the amount owed is possible, the amount is deemed irrecoverable, and the financial asset is written off.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
(in Euros, except shares amount)
 
 

Property, plant and equipment

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

Machinery and office equipment 5-10 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 adjusts if appropriate. During their construction, property, plant and equipment are not subject to depreciation. The Company capitalizes all costs necessary to get the asset to its intended use. When the asset is available for use, depreciation commences. Depreciation expense is recorded within depreciation and amortization on the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

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 statements of loss and comprehensive loss of the related year.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the sum of projected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset group. The measurement of the impairment loss to be recognized is based on the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the asset group.

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 when the Company has opted to measure the financial liability at FVPL. The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, accrued liabilities, and long-term debt, 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 considering any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
(in Euros, except shares amount)
 
 

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 statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when (a) the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) due to 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 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 probable. The Company expenses legal costs as incurred related to such matters.

The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statements of loss and comprehensive 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 statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Share capital

Issued common shares are recorded as equity at par value. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Common shares are considered issued when consideration has been received.

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 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 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 estimated incremental borrowing rate.

The lease term at the lease commencement date is determined based on the noncancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option, periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option and periods covered by an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease in which the exercise of the option is controlled by the lessor. The Company considers several factors when evaluating whether the options in its lease contracts are reasonably certain of exercise, such as length of time before an option exercise, expected value of the leased asset at the end of the initial lease term, importance of the lease to the Company's operations, costs to negotiate a new lease, any contractual or economic penalties, and the economic value of leasehold improvements.

For finance leases, 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, the right-of-use asset is amortized on a straight-line basis and the interest expense is recognized on the lease liability using the effective interest method. For operating leases, lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and presented as a single charge in the statements of operations and comprehensive income. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Notes to the Financial Statements

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 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. The Company has elected not to separate non-lease components from lease components for real estate leases.

Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, 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 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 reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

An unrealized tax benefit may arise in connection with a period that has not yet been reviewed by the relevant tax authority. A change in the recognition or measurement of an unrealized tax benefit is reflected in the period during which the change occurs.

Interest and penalties in respect of income taxes are not recognized in the statement of operations as a component of income taxes but as a component of interest expense.

Commitments and contingencies

Contingencies are 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. Management assesses loss contingencies related to legal proceedings, tax or other regulatory actions pending against the Company, as well as unasserted claims that may result in such actions. The Company, its legal counsel and other subject matter advisors evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted 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. The Company recognizes legal expenses on contingency and provision matters when incurred.

In June 2016, the United States Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of current expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Adoption of ASU 2016-13 will require entities to use forward-looking information to better formulate their credit loss estimates. This update is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective as of its inception, and as such had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 would be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022. The Company has early adopted ASU 2019-12, effective as of its inception, and as such had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations, and improvements to existing standards have been published by the FASB and United States Securities and Exchange Commission but are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates that all the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the first reporting period following the date of application unless noted. Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations, and improvements to existing standards which could potentially impact the Company's financial statements are detailed as follows:

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which improve the transparency of disclosures related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.

Certain other new standards and interpretations have been issued but are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

 

4.  CRITICAL JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTIES

The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. These estimates and judgements are subject to change based on experience and new information which could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities affecting future periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively.

Liquidity and going concern considerations

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Management must assess the Company's ability to continue as a going concern each reporting period. This assessment involves the use of internal budgets and estimates of expenses and cash flows, which requires a significant amount of management judgement.

Leases

Management is required to use judgement in determining the discount rate and whether to include renewal options in the lease term. The determination of the discount rate considers the incremental borrowing rate that would be charged for a loan that is collateralized or secured by the lessee's aggregate collateral, has a term that is similar to the lease term, is for an amount similar to the lease payments, and occurs in a similar economic environment. In this instance, management utilized European corporate debt instruments compounded annually that have a similar term and economic rating. In determining the lease term, management evaluated the fact that the Company's licenses are tied to the lease facility and as such the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal option.

Estimated useful lives and depreciation of long-lived assets with finite lives

Amortization of intangible assets with finite lives are dependent upon estimates of useful lives and when the asset is available for use. These are determined through the exercise of judgment and are dependent upon estimates that consider factors such as economic and market conditions, frequency of use, and anticipated changes in laws.

Determination of asset groups for impairment testing

Management is required to use judgement in determining asset groups for the level at which long-lived assets are tested for impairment. Management considers the nature of operations and ability to track asset performance within each of the Company's business units to determine the appropriate level of asset aggregation and allocation, as well as the materiality of the underlying assets within the units.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Asset groups are subject to a two-step impairment testing model. Under Step 1 (recoverability test), the undiscounted expected future cash flows from an asset group are compared to the asset group's carrying amount. The estimates involved in this first step are similar to the recoverable amount assumptions, including, but not limited to, the cash flow growth rate and the discount rate. Significant management judgment is required when developing these assumptions, which include internal budgets and expectations, as well as consideration of external Company communications and market estimates of the Company's and its industry's future growth. If the carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted estimated future cash flows, the Company is required to perform a Step 2 fair value test, with a chosen model and estimates similar to those discussed above.

Income taxes and valuation allowances for 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 considering 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 net of valuation allowances. 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.

Total net deferred tax assets   -     -  
             
             
Net deferred tax assets -   -  

Deferred taxes are a result of temporary differences that arise due to the differences between the income tax values and the carrying values of assets and liabilities. The Company's deferred tax asset valuation allowances are primarily the result of uncertainties regarding the future realization of recorded tax benefits on the tax loss carryforwards from operations in various jurisdictions. Current evidence does not suggest the Company will realize sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carryforward period to allow the Company to realize the deferred tax benefits. If the Company were to identify and implement tax planning strategies to recover these deferred tax assets or generate sufficient income of the appropriate character in these jurisdictions in the future, it could lead to the reversal of these valuation allowances and income tax expense.

Unused loss carryforwards totaling €538,000 do not have an expiry date. Deferred tax assets have not been recognized for legal entities where it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Company can use the benefits. Tax attributes are subject to review, and potential adjustment, by tax authorities. The tax years that remain subject to examination by significant tax jurisdictions of the Company as of December 31, 2023 are as follows: 2022 to 2023.

The Company had no unrecognized income tax benefits because of uncertain income tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

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.

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 receivable, and cash held with banks and other financial intermediaries.

The carrying amount of the cash and represents the maximum credit exposure as presented in the statement of financial position.

The Company held cash of €13,588 as at December 31, 2023 (2022 - €15,281). 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 twelve months of expected credit losses. Based on historical information, and adjusted for forward-looking expectations, the Company has not assessed a loss allowance on these cash balances as at December 31, 2023 and 2022.

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.

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 its financial liabilities. The Company’s financial liabilities consist of trade and amounts payable, and accrued liabilities, and debt as presented on the statement of financial position. The Company had cash as presented on the statement of financial position. The Company has no available credit lines of facilities to draw borrowings from should additional liquidity be needed. 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 and amounts payable, 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. Some suppliers of materials require full prepayment from the Company prior to providing such goods to the Company. See schedule of future lease commitments at Note 9 and Note 2 for the Company’s assessment of the uncertainty related to the assumption of the Company continuing to operate as a going concern.

TruHC Pharma GmbH
Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
(in Euros, except shares amount)
 

 

1.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS

TruHC Pharma GmbH (the "Company" or "TruHC") was incorporated under the laws of Germany on February 17, 2022. The Company engages in the import, distribution, and manufacturing of medical cannabis and operates a production facility. The Company's registered office and principal place of business in Germany is located at Poppenbütteler Bogen 68 22399 Hamburg, Germany. At December 31, 2023, all of the Company's issued and outstanding shares were owned by TruHC Holding GmbH ("TruHC Holding").

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, meaning that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations.

 

2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These financial statements have been presented in Euros and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). The Company has determined that the Euro is the functional and reporting currency as the majority of our operations are conducted in Euros and the financial results are prepared and reviewed internally by management in Euros.

Going concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue for a period of at least one year after the date these financial statements are issued and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

Pursuant to the requirements of ASC Topic 205-40, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, management must evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date these financial statements are issued. This evaluation does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of management's plans that have not been fully implemented or are not within control of the Company as of the date the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management's plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

The Company had cash of €13,899 at March 31, 2024, net loss of €105,572 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and an accumulated deficit of €694,241 at March 31, 2024. Current economic and market conditions have put pressure on the Company's growth plans. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional capital. The Company believes that its current level of cash is not sufficient to continue investing in growth, while at the same time meeting its obligations as they become due. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. To alleviate these conditions, management is currently evaluating various cost reductions and other alternatives and may seek to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, debt securities, through arrangements with strategic partners or, through obtaining credit from financial institutions and the possible disposition of assets or otherwise. The actual amount that the Company may be able to raise under these alternatives will depend on market conditions and other factors. As it seeks additional sources of financing, there can be no assurance that such financing would be available to the Company on favorable terms or at all. The Company’s ability to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity capital markets is subject to several factors, including but not limited to market and economic conditions, the Company’s performance and investor sentiment with respect to it and its industry. These financial statements do not include any adjustments for the recovery and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying values of amounts receivable, prepaids and other current assets, and trade and amounts payable, accrued liabilities, and current portion of lease liability approximate their fair values due to their short periods to maturity.

The financial statements are presented in Euros ("€") unless otherwise noted.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

3.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies used by the Company are as follows:

Cash

Cash in the statements of financial position includes cash on hand.

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

The Company aggregates its financial assets into classes at the time of initial recognition based on the Company's business model and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

No financial assets are or were elected to be carried at fair value through profit or loss ("FVPL") or where changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss. 

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 considering any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. In these financial statements, cash, amounts receivable  are classified in this category.

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 financial assets subject to impairment are cash, and amounts receivable.

Amounts receivable are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, less any provisions for impairment. Impairment provisions are estimated using the ECL impairment model where any expected future credit losses are provided for, irrespective of whether a loss event has occurred at the reporting date. Estimates of expected credit losses consider the Company's collection history by customer, deterioration of collection rates during the average credit period, as well as observable changes in and forecasts of future economic conditions that affect default risk. The Company utilizes a provision matrix to estimate lifetime ECL's for receivables, supplemented by specific allowance based on customer-specific data. Changes in the allowance are recognized as bad debt expense in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss. When the Company determines that no recovery of the amount owed is possible, the amount is deemed irrecoverable, and the financial asset is written off.

Property, plant and equipment

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

Machinery and office equipment 5-10 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 adjusts if appropriate. During their construction, property, plant and equipment are not subject to depreciation. The Company capitalizes all costs necessary to get the asset to its intended use. When the asset is available for use, depreciation commences. Depreciation expense is recorded within depreciation and amortization on the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

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 statements of loss and comprehensive loss of the related year.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the sum of projected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset group. The measurement of the impairment loss to be recognized is based on the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the asset group.

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 when the Company has opted to measure the financial liability at FVPL. The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, accrued liabilities, and long-term debt, 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 considering any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR.

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 statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when (a) the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) due to 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 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 probable. The Company expenses legal costs as incurred related to such matters.

The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statements of loss and comprehensive 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 statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Share capital

Issued common shares are recorded as equity at par value. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Common shares are considered issued when consideration has been received.

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 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 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 estimated incremental borrowing rate.

The lease term at the lease commencement date is determined based on the noncancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option, periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option and periods covered by an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease in which the exercise of the option is controlled by the lessor. The Company considers several factors when evaluating whether the options in its lease contracts are reasonably certain of exercise, such as length of time before an option exercise, expected value of the leased asset at the end of the initial lease term, importance of the lease to the Company's operations, costs to negotiate a new lease, any contractual or economic penalties, and the economic value of leasehold improvements.

For finance leases, 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, the right-of-use asset is amortized on a straight-line basis and the interest expense is recognized on the lease liability using the effective interest method. For operating leases, lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and presented as a single charge in the statements of operations and comprehensive income. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

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 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. The Company has elected not to separate non-lease components from lease components for real estate leases.

Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, 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 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 reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

An unrealized tax benefit may arise in connection with a period that has not yet been reviewed by the relevant tax authority. A change in the recognition or measurement of an unrealized tax benefit is reflected in the period during which the change occurs.

Interest and penalties in respect of income taxes are not recognized in the statement of operations as a component of income taxes but as a component of interest expense.

Commitments and contingencies

Contingencies are 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. Management assesses loss contingencies related to legal proceedings, tax or other regulatory actions pending against the Company, as well as unasserted claims that may result in such actions. The Company, its legal counsel and other subject matter advisors evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted 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. The Company recognizes legal expenses on contingency and provision matters when incurred.

Adoption of accounting standards and amendments

In June 2016, the United States Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of current expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Adoption of ASU 2016-13 will require entities to use forward-looking information to better formulate their credit loss estimates. This update is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective as of its inception, and as such had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 would be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022. The Company has early adopted ASU 2019-12, effective as of its inception, and as such had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations, and improvements to existing standards have been published by the FASB and United States Securities and Exchange Commission but are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates that all the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the first reporting period following the date of application unless noted. Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations, and improvements to existing standards which could potentially impact the Company's financial statements are detailed as follows:

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which improve the transparency of disclosures related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.

Certain other new standards and interpretations have been issued but are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

 

4.  CRITICAL JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTIES

The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. These estimates and judgements are subject to change based on experience and new information which could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities affecting future periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively.

Liquidity and going concern considerations

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Management must assess the Company's ability to continue as a going concern each reporting period. This assessment involves the use of internal budgets and estimates of expenses and cash flows, which requires a significant amount of management judgement.

Leases

Management is required to use judgement in determining the discount rate and whether to include renewal options in the lease term. The determination of the discount rate considers the incremental borrowing rate that would be charged for a loan that is collateralized or secured by the lessee's aggregate collateral, has a term that is similar to the lease term, is for an amount similar to the lease payments, and occurs in a similar economic environment. In this instance, management utilized European corporate debt instruments compounded annually that have a similar term and economic rating. In determining the lease term, management evaluated the fact that the Company's licenses are tied to the lease facility and as such the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal option.

Estimated useful lives and depreciation of long-lived assets with finite lives

Amortization of intangible assets with finite lives are dependent upon estimates of useful lives and when the asset is available for use. These are determined through the exercise of judgment and are dependent upon estimates that consider factors such as economic and market conditions, frequency of use, and anticipated changes in laws.

Determination of asset groups for impairment testing

Management is required to use judgement in determining asset groups for the level at which long-lived assets are tested for impairment. Management considers the nature of operations and ability to track asset performance within each of the Company's business units to determine the appropriate level of asset aggregation and allocation, as well as the materiality of the underlying assets within the units.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Asset groups are subject to a two-step impairment testing model. Under Step 1 (recoverability test), the undiscounted expected future cash flows from an asset group are compared to the asset group's carrying amount. The estimates involved in this first step are similar to the recoverable amount assumptions, including, but not limited to, the cash flow growth rate and the discount rate. Significant management judgment is required when developing these assumptions, which include internal budgets and expectations, as well as consideration of external Company communications and market estimates of the Company's and its industry's future growth. If the carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted estimated future cash flows, the Company is required to perform a Step 2 fair value test, with a chosen model and estimates similar to those discussed above.

Income taxes and valuation allowances for 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 considering 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 net of valuation allowances. 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.

The Company applies judgment when determining whether the earnings of its foreign subsidiaries (outside Canada) will be indefinitely reinvested in those subsidiaries and earnings will not be repatriated. The Company considers its historical practices and projected plans for such subsidiaries when making this assessment.

The Company must apply judgement when determining whether it has taken an uncertain tax position. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Company, and has concluded that as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 there were no uncertain tax positions taken.

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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consist of cash, trade and amounts payable, accrued liabilities, and debt. The amounts reflected in the statements of financial position approximate fair value for all financial instruments due to their short-term maturity, except for debt whose fair value as at March 31, 2024 is €577,354 (December 31, 2022 - €504,264).

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.

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 trade and amounts receivable, and cash held with banks and other financial intermediaries.

The carrying amount of the cash represents the maximum credit exposure as presented in the statement of financial position.

The Company held cash of €13,899 as at March 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - €13,588). 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 twelve months of expected credit losses. Based on historical information, and adjusted for forward-looking expectations, the Company has not assessed a loss allowance on these cash balances as at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

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.

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 its financial liabilities.

1. Basis of Presentation

These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (the "Pro Forma Financial Statements") are prepared to illustrate the impact of the acquisition by Flora Growth Corp. ("Flora" or the "Company") of TruHC Pharma GmbH ("TruHC") (the "Transaction").

The Company is listed on the NASDAQ and is a consumer-packaged goods leader and pharmaceutical distributor. TruHC is a German cannabis company possessing the following licenses:

(i) European Union Good Manufacturing Practice ("EU-GMP") processing and production license. Its EU-GMP certified customizable modules are flexible to incorporate various production and packaging processes, which could enable license extension for future in country cultivation and supply to cannabis dispensaries. Its laboratory is EU-GMP certified for instant cannabis analysis.

(ii) Goods Distribution Practice ("GDP") wholesale license for import and export.

(iii) Narcotics license with EU-GMP certified storage.

The Transaction is to represent an acquisition of TruHC by Flora through two closings. On the first closing, Flora issued 2,135,199 of its common shares, which is equal to 19.99% of Flora's issued and outstanding common shares prior to signing the purchase agreement (the "First Closing"). On the second closing, Flora will issue 635,363 of its common shares after receiving shareholder approval for such issuance in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market at its next special or annual general meeting of shareholders (the "Second Closing"). The First Closing occurred on April 22, 2024. These Pro Forma Financial Statements were prepared to illustrate impact of the occurrence of both the First Closing and the Second Closing.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements are those of Flora and have been prepared for inclusion in the Proxy Statement of Flora for the upcoming general and special meeting of the shareholders of the Company.

These Pro Forma Financial Statements are based on Flora's historical consolidated financial statements and TruHC's historical consolidated financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the acquisition of TruHC. The First Closing occurred on April 22, 2024 and the Second Closing is expected to occur in August 2024.

These Pro Forma Financial Statements do not necessarily reflect what the combined company's financial condition or results of operations would have been had the acquisition occurred on the dates indicated. They also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. Our actual financial condition and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

There have been no adjustments made to give effect to any potential synergies or dis-synergies which may arise from the Transaction.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Statements are those set out in Flora's annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, as well as the annual audited financial statements of TruHC for the year ended December 31, 2023, and as such should be read in conjunction with such audited financial statements.



The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at March 31, 2024 has been prepared from information derived from the following:

 Flora's unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position as at March 31, 2024;

 TruHC's unaudited statement of financial position as at March 31, 2024, translated to United States dollars from European Euros at the March 29, 2024 rate of 1.0797, which represents the last business day in the month of March 2024.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 has been prepared from information derived from the following:

 Flora's unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024;

 TruHC's unaudited statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, translated into United States dollars from European Euros at the three-month average rate of 1.0857.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2023 has been prepared from information derived from the following:

 Flora's audited consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023;

 TruHC's audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, translated to United States dollars from European Euros at the twelve-month average rate of 1.0814.

The pro forma adjustments include all those transactions attributable to the Transaction for which the complete financial effects are objectively determinable.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements are not intended to reflect the results of operations or the financial position that would have actually resulted had the Transaction been effected on the dates indicated or the results which may be obtained in the future. The Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the other sections of the Proxy Statement.

The pro forma adjustments are based on certain estimates and assumptions. Management believes that such assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting all the significant effects of the Transaction contemplated and that the Pro Forma Financial Statement adjustments give appropriate effect to those adjustments and are properly applied in the Pro Forma Financial Statements.



The Pro Forma Financial Statements are based on estimates and assumptions set forth in the notes herein. The Pro Forma Financial Statements are being provided solely for informational purposes and are not necessarily indicative of any future consolidated financial position or of the consolidated financial position that might have been achieved for the periods indicated; nor is it necessarily indicative of future results that may occur.

The allocation of the purchase price to reflect the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on management's estimate of such assets and liabilities and, accordingly, the adjustments that have been included in the Pro Forma Financial Statements as at March 31, 2024 may be subject to change. The preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare the transaction accounting adjustments in the pro forma balance sheet and income statement. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when the Company has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations as described in more detail in the explanatory notes below. The final allocation is expected to be completed when the Company files its condensed interim consolidated financial statements for three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used in the transaction accounting adjustments. The final allocation may include (1) changes in fair values of licenses; and (2) other changes to assets and liabilities.

 

Pro Forma Assumptions and Adjustments

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position gives effect to the completion of the Transaction as if the Transaction had occurred on March 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss gives effect to the completion of those transactions had they occurred on January 1, 2023. The Pro Forma Financial Statements are based on the following estimates and assumptions:

a) On April 16, Flora entered into a share purchase agreement for the Transaction. Management has assessed the Arrangement under ASC 805 Business Combinations and concluded that it constitutes an asset acquisition. The management of Flora has made a preliminary determination of the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Transaction. If new information obtained within one year of the date of the Transaction about the facts and circumstances that existed at the date of the Transaction identifies adjustments to the amounts then the accounting for the Transaction is to be revised. The final allocation of the fair value of the net assets acquired and aggregate consideration may be significantly different from the preliminary allocation as presented below:

First Closing - 2,135,199 common shares valued at $1.56 per share (i) $ 3,330,910  
Second Closing - 635,363 common shares value at $1.35 per share (ii)   857,740  
Total consideration   4,188,650  
       
Purchase price allocation:      
Cash and cash equivalents   15,007  
Receivables   22,870  
Prepaid expenses and other current assets   21,969  
Plant and equipment (iii)   98,355  
Operating lease right of use assets   496,138  
Trade and other payables   (51,310 )
Operating lease liabilities   (534,891 )
Other accrued liabilities   (12,546 )
Deferred income tax liabilities   (1,336,392 )
Licenses (iv)   5,469,450  
  $ 4,188,650  

The First Closing occurred on April 22, 2024. Flora's closing share price on April 19, 2024, representing the last available closing price at the time of this closing, is utilized to value this component. Therefore, the value of the First Closing had already occurred and will not vary based on the market price of the Company's common shares upon consummation of the Transaction.

(i) The value of the Second Closing within the purchase price will vary based on the market price of the Company's common shares upon the Second Closing. The Company believes that the following fluctuations in the market price of its common stock is reasonably possible based on historical volatility, and the potential effect on Second Closing component of the purchase price would be:

 

 

  Company's share
price
Second Closing
Component of
Purchase Price
As presented $1.35 $857,740
10% Decrease $1.22 $771,966
20% Decrease $1.08 $686,192
30% Decrease $0.95 $600,418
40% Decrease $0.81 $514,644
50% Decrease $0.68 $428,870
10% Increase $1.49 $943,514
20% Increase $1.62 $1,029,288
30% Increase $1.76 $1,115,062
40% Increase $1.89 $1,200,836
50% Increase $2.03 $1,286,610

(ii) The Company has not yet determined the fair value of plant and equipment acquired and is using the carrying value.

(iii) The Company has preliminarily identified and valued $5,469,450 in licenses. Since all information required to perform a detailed valuation analysis of TruHC's licenses could not be obtained as of the date of this filing, for the purposes of these pro forma financial statements, the Company used certain assumptions based on preliminary valuations concluded for these licenses. A 10% change in the valuation of licenses would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of approximately $550,000 and annual amortization expense of approximately $110,000, assuming an overall weighted average useful life of 5 years. For the purpose of the Pro Forma Financial Statements, the following are the amortization expenses for each corresponding period:

a. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 - $276,170.

b. For the year ended December 31, 2023 - $1,104,678.

(iv) Reflects the elimination of TruHC's historical equity balances.

b) No finder's fees or commissions were paid or are payable in connection with the Transaction other than fees to certain consultants and investment banks acting as advisors to the Company. These fees would be valued at $138,000 incurred by Flora prior to the closing of the Transaction.



c) Represents the accrual of legal, consulting and other professional fees in connection with the Transaction and is estimated at $100,000. These costs will not affect the Company's income statement beyond 12 months after the closing of the Transaction.

d) In connection with the Transaction, TruHC's intercompany liabilities were forgiven.

e) For all adjustments except the one described in 2)a)(iv), the Company utilized an effective income tax rate of nil for the pro forma adjustments as these adjustments net to a taxable loss for which the corresponding deferred tax asset has a full valuation allowance.

2. Share Capital

A continuity of the pro forma consolidated share capital is as follows:

As at March 31, 2024 Note   Number
of shares
    Amount  
Flora common shares outstanding prior to the Transaction     8,981,000   $ 148,871,000
