Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the six months ended June 30, 2023
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
BYND Cannasoft Enterprises Inc. (the “Company” or “BYND Cannasoft”) is a Canadian company which was amalgamated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on March 29, 2021. The Company’s registered address is 2264 East 11th Avenue, Vancouver, Canada.
The Company currently operates only in Israel and through its subsidiaries (i) develops, markets and sells a proprietary client relationship management software known as “Benefit CRM” and its new Cannabis CRM platform, (ii) manages the construction, licensing and operation of a cannabis farm and indoor cannabis growing facility, and (iii) develops the EZ-G device, a unique, patent-pending device that, combined with proprietary software (provisional application), regulates the flow of low-concentration CBD oils into the soft tissues of the female sexual organs.
On March 29, 2021, the Company completed the business combination transactions with BYND – Beyond Solutions Ltd. (“BYND”) (note 3). As a result of the business combination transactions, BYND became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. This transaction is accounted for as a reverse asset acquisition of the Company by BYND (“RTO”) (note 3).
On September 22, 2022, the Company and the former shareholder of Zigi Carmel Initiatives and Investments Ltd. (“ZC”) entered into a share exchange agreement, whereby the Company would acquire 100% ownership interest in ZC from the former shareholder in exchange for common shares of the Company. The share exchange agreement was executed and fully completed on September 22, 2022
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the statement of financial position classifications used, that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
a. Basis of presentation and statement of compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been 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 Issues Committee (“IFRIC”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The notes presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements include only significant events and transactions occurring since the Company’s last fiscal year end and they do not include all of the information required in the Company’s most recent annual consolidated financial statements. Except as noted below, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company’s annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by IASB. There have been no significant changes in judgement or estimates from those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
b. Basis of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and of its wholly owned subsidiaries, BYND, Zigi Carmel and B.Y.B.Y.. B.Y.B.Y is owned directly through BYND and 24% of the shares of B.Y.B.Y. are held by a related party in trust for the Company for the purpose to comply with Israeli Cannabis Laws regarding the ownership of medical cannabis license rights.
A subsidiary is an entity over which the Company has control, directly or indirectly, where control is defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities. A subsidiary is consolidated from the date upon which control is acquired by the Company and all intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
c. Basis of Measurement
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared based on the historical costs, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”) and assets or liabilities for employee benefits, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
d. Currency of Operation and Currency of Presentation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars. The functional currency of the Company is Canadian dollars, and the functional currency of its subsidiaries is the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”). NIS represents the main economic environment in which the subsidiaries operate.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (continued)
e. Significant estimates and assumptions
The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to use judgment in applying its accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions about reported amounts at the date of the financial statements and in the future. The Company’s management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.
Income taxes
Provisions for income taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these income tax provisions at the end of each reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by tax authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is determined that the company is likely to recognize their recovery from the generation of taxable income.
Useful lives of property and equipment
Estimates of the useful lives of property and equipment are based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives are reviewed annually and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence, and legal or other limits on the use of the relevant assets. In addition, the estimation of the useful lives of the relevant assets may be based on internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned above. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for any period would be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of the equipment would increase the recorded expenses and decrease the non-current assets.
Convertible debentures
The identification of convertible note components is based on interpretations of the substance of the contractual arrangement and therefore requires judgement from management. The separation of the components affects the initial recognition of the convertible debenture at issuance and the subsequent recognition of interest on the liability component. The determination of the fair value of the liability is also based on a number of assumptions, including contractual future cash flows, discount rates and the presence of any derivative financial instruments.

e. Significant estimates and assumptions (continued)
Other Significant Judgments
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments in applying the Company’s financial statements include:
| ● | the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to significant uncertainty; | |
| ● | the classification of financial instruments; | |
| ● | the assessment of revenue recognition using the five-step approach under IFRS 15 and the collectability of amounts receivable; and | |
| ● | the determination of the functional currency of the company. |
NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition of Zigi Carmel
On September 22, 2022, the Company and the former shareholder of Zigi Carmel Initiatives and Investments Ltd. (“ZC”) entered into a share exchange agreement, whereby the Company would acquire % ownership interest in ZC from the former shareholder in exchange for common shares of BYND. The share exchange agreement was executed and fully completed on September 22, 2022.
The acquisition of ZC has been accounted for as asset acquisition according to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment as the acquired assets and liabilities do not constitute a business under IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The transaction price of the acquisition was measured according to the fair value of the common shares given in consideration for the assets and liabilities assumed from the acquisition, with equity increased by the corresponding amount equal to the total fair value of the common shares given. As a result, the acquisition was recorded with the consideration as detailed in the table below:
SCHEDULE OF CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION
| Consideration transferred: | $ | |||
| Fair value of shares retained by former BYND Cannasoft shareholders | ||||
| Forgiveness of BYND debt | ||||
| Value allocated to shares issued ( shares at $ per share) | ||||

| Amount receivable | ||||
| Investments | ||||
| Intangible asset – patents pending | ||||
| Trade payable and other liabilities | ||||
| Shareholder loan | ( | ) | ||
| Fair value of assets and liabilities |
The intangible asset acquired in the acquisition of ZC is attributed to 2 patents pending for a therapeutic device (the “EZ-G” device) owned by ZC. The company has determined that the patents pending shall not be amortized until they are approved and then will be amortized over the course of their life.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS (continued)
Acquisition of B.Y.B.Y.
On
October 1, 2020, BYND and the former shareholders of B.Y.B.Y. entered into a share exchange agreement, whereby BYND would acquire
% ownership interest in B.Y.B.Y from the former shareholders in exchange for % ownership interest in BYND. One of the former
shareholders would hold the remaining
The acquisition of B.Y.B.Y. has been accounted for as asset acquisition according to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment as the acquired assets and liabilities do not constitute a business under IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The fair value of the common shares given in consideration were not readily determinable, the transaction price of the acquisition was measured by the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed from the acquisition, with equity increased by the corresponding amount equal to the total fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed. As a result, the acquisition was recorded with the consideration as detailed in the table below:
SCHEDULE OF CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION
| Consideration transferred: | $ | |||
| Value allocated to shares issued | ||||
| Fair value of assets and liabilities acquired: | ||||
| Amount receivable | ||||
| Intangible asset | ||||
| Trade payable and other liabilities | ( | ) | ||
| Fair value of assets and liabilities |
The intangible asset acquired in the acquisition of B.Y.B.Y. is attributed to the primary growing license for medical cannabis in Israel held by B.Y.B.Y.. The company has determined that the license shall not be amortized, but rather will be tested for impairment at least annually or when there are any further indicators of impairment.
Reverse Takeover of BYND Cannasoft
On December 16, 2019, BYND entered into a Business Combination Agreement (“BCA”) with 1232986 B.C. Ltd. (“NumberCo”), Lincoln Acquisitions Corp. (“Lincoln”) and the shareholders of BYND. Pursuant to the terms of the BCA: (i) Lincoln and NumberCo would amalgamate to form a new company to be named “BYND Cannasoft Enterprises Inc.” (the “Company” or “BYND Cannasoft”), and (ii) the Company would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of BYND from its shareholders in exchange for a pro rated number of shares of BYND Cannasoft (the “Share Exchange Transaction” and together with the Amalgamation Transaction, the “Business Combination Transactions”).

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS (continued)
Reverse Takeover of BYND Cannasoft (continued)
On March 29, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of common shares to BYND shareholders in consideration for all the shares issued and outstanding of BYND. Upon completion of the Share Exchange, BYND became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company continued to carry out the business operations of BYND.
As a result of the Share Exchange, BYND is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes (“Reverse Takeover”) and therefore its assets, liabilities and operations are included in the consolidated interim financial statements at their historical carrying value, with the operations of the Company being included from March 29, 2021, the closing date of the Reverse Takeover, and onwards.
At the time of the reverse takeover, the Company did not constitute a business as defined under IFRS 3 Business Combination; therefore, the Reverse Takeover of the Company by BYND is accounted for under IFRS 2 Share-based Payments. The transaction price of the acquisition was measured by reference to the fair value of the shares issued in the acquisition because the fair value of the listing service BYND received could not be reliably measured. As a result, the consideration was first allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities based on their fair values, and the difference between the consideration given to acquire the Company and the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired by BYND is recorded as a listing expense to profit and loss. The fair value of the consideration issued to acquire the Company is as follows:

| Consideration transferred: | $ | |||

BYND CANNASOFT ENTERPRISES INC.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2023
All dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated
BACKGROUND
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited, consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of BYND Cannasoft Enterprises Inc. (“BYND Cannasoft” or the “Company”) for the six month period ended June 30, 2023. The information contained in this MD&A is current to August 7, 2023.
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements are in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and requires management to make assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses in addition to the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reporting amounts. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS
This MD&A contains forward-looking statements that include risks and uncertainties that are disclosed under the section “Risk Management”. Other factors that could affect actual results are uncertainties pertaining to government regulations, both domestic as well as foreign, and the changes within the capital markets.
This MD&A contains certain statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements include but are not limited to, statements regarding future anticipated business developments and the timing thereof, regulatory compliance, sufficiency of working capital, and business and financing plans. Although the Company believes that such statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as: believe, expect, anticipate, intend, estimate, postulate and similar expressions, or which by their nature refer to future events. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements by the Company are not guarantees of future performance, and that actual results may differ materially from those in forward looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to continue its projected growth, to raise the necessary capital or to be fully able to implement its business strategies.
GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to generate revenue to establish profitable operations and to obtain the necessary equity or debt financing to fund operations as required.
OUTLOOK
The Company’s primary focus for the foreseeable future will be: (i) the continuation of its current CRM software business, (ii) development of its New Cannabis CRM Platform for the medical cannabis industry, (iii) raising sufficient capital to enable the Company to construct its proposed Cannabis Farm, (iv) the construction and operation of its proposed Cannabis Farm, and (v) development of the EZ-G device, a unique, patent-pending device that, combined with proprietary software (provisional application), regulates the flow of low-concentration CBD oils into the soft tissues of the female sexual organs.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
BYND Cannasoft Enterprises Inc. was amalgamated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on March 29, 2021. The Company’s registered address is 2264 East 11th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V5N 1Z6, Canada.
Recent Developments
| ● | On July 19, 2023 the Company announced the closing o of a firm commitment underwritten public offering with gross proceeds to the Company of approximately US$2.6 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and other estimated expenses payable by the Company. The base offering consisted of 1,733,334 common shares at a price to the public of US$1.50 per share. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering primarily for product design and manufacturing, sales and marketing campaigns, patent prosecution and working capital. | |
| ● | On February 5, 2023, Cannasoft Pharma Holdings Ltd., has received a Contactless Business License. This license allows us to engage in the Cannabis industry for the purpose of trading and brokering transactions in Israel, importing from abroad, and purchasing and selling cannabis without touching the substance. | |
| ● | On September 22, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Zigi Carmel Initiatives and Investments Ltd. (“Zigi Carmel”) in consideration for the issuance to Carmel Zigdon of 7,920,000 Common Shares and US $100,000 to cover his legal expenses. As part of the closing of the acquisition, Mr. Zigdon was appointed as a director of the Company. | |
| Zigi Carmel owns the EZ-G device, a unique, patent-pending device that, combined with proprietary software (provisional application), regulates the flow of low-concentration CBD oils into the soft tissues of the female reproductive system. According to research conducted across the globe, treatment with low-concentration CBD oils can relieve candida, dryness, scars, and many other female health issues. Numerous studies have shown CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system, a master regulatory system with receptors all around the body. By activating these receptors, CBD can have health benefits that help make sex more approachable and pleasurable by reducing stress, enhancing one’s mood, promoting body comfort, and treating vaginal issues. | ||
| The Company intends to pursue the final registration of the patent and establish a marketing and sales system for the EZ-G device. The Company’s ‘Go to Market’ strategic plan is based on combined B2B and B2C sales. | ||
| ● | On August 9, 2022, the Company signed an agreement with the Weizmann Institute of Science for the use of the Company’s proprietary Benefit CRM software. Under the terms of the agreement, the Weizmann Institute of Science will use a beta version of the software provided as Software as a Service (SAAS). The beta version will include the Company’s C.R.M. System - Job Management (BENEFIT), as well as a module system (CANNASOFT) for managing cannabis farms and greenhouses. The Company will grant the Weizmann Institute a permit to use the license free of charge for a period of one year, after which the parties will extend the agreement and the Company will be paid the customary rate as of the date of extension of the agreement. | |
| ● | On May 26, 2022, the Company’s common shares were approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Markets. Trading commenced on Tuesday, May 31, 2022 under the symbol “BCAN”. |

CRM Business
The Company’s fully owned subsidiary BYND - Beyond Solutions Ltd. (“BYND Israel”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel, develops and markets customer relationship management (CRM) software products that enable small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to optimize day to day functions such as sales management, workforce management, contact center operations and asset management. BYND Israel currently offers a proprietary CRM software product known as “Benefit CRM” (our “Benefit CRM Software”) to its customers. Over the last 3 years, BYND Israel has been developing the next generation of its Benefit CRM Software (our “New CRM Platform”), which will be cloud based and will include many new features and enhancements.
BYND Israel has also developed a new, revolutionary CRM software platform, designed specifically to serve the unique needs of the medical cannabis sector (our “New Cannabis CRM Platform”).
Medical Cannabis
On October 1, 2020, BYND Israel executed a share purchase agreement with the shareholders of B.Y.B.Y. Investments and Promotions Ltd. (“BYBY”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Pursuant to the agreement, BYND Israel would acquire 74% ownership interest in BYBY from its shareholders, in exchange for 54.58% ownership interest in BYND Israel (“BYBY Acquisition”). BYBY owns a primary license for growing medical cannabis granted by the Israeli Ministry of Health and has begun the process of obtaining the necessary permits and approvals to construct a 3.7 acre cannabis farm in southern Israel, to grow and harvest medical cannabis (the “Cannabis Farm”). The BYBY Acquisition transaction was completed on March 29, 2021.
BYND Israel’s long term goal is to leverage its Cannabis Farm business to assist in the development of its New Cannabis CRM Platform. By using data generated by the operation of the Cannabis Farm, including data relating to the growing, harvesting and selling of medical cannabis, BYND Israel will be able to better optimize its New Cannabis CRM Platform to offer stakeholders in the Cannabis industry, a state of the art resource which will enhance their businesses.
The BYBY Acquisition and the Lincoln Business Combination Transaction
In early 2019, BYND Israel entered into discussions with the owners of BYBY, with a view to: (i) combining their respective businesses, (ii) raising the capital necessary to construct the Cannabis Farm, and (iii) listing BYND Israel’s shares for trading on a Canadian stock exchange (the “Listing”). In pursuit of these goals:
| ● | On April 22, 2019, BYND Israel signed a convertible loan agreement with an investor, who agreed to loan BYND Israel USD$100,000, to be used to pursue the BYBY Acquisition and the Listing; | |
| ● | On August 18, 2019, BYND Israel entered into a “document of understanding” with the owners of BYBY, which outlined the basic terms of the BYBY Acquisition; | |
| ● | On November 28, 2019, BYND Israel entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Lincoln Acquisitions Corp. (“Lincoln”), setting out the general terms and conditions relating to a proposed transaction wherein Lincoln would: |
| ○ | acquire BYND Israel and BYBY from their respective shareholders (the “Business Combination Transactions”); and | |
| ○ | complete the Listing, by applying to list its shares for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”); |
| 3 |
| ● | On December 9, 2019, BYND Israel assisted in the formation of a new British Columbia corporation (“Fundingco”), to be used as a vehicle for raising capital in connection with the BYBY Acquisition and the Listing; | |
| ● | On December 16, 2019, BYND Israel entered into a definitive Business Combination Agreement with Lincoln, Fundingco and the shareholders of BYND Israel in connection with the Business Combination Transactions wherein the parties agreed inter alia that: |
| ○ | Lincoln and Fundingco would amalgamate to form BYND Cannasoft, and | |
| ○ | BYND Cannasoft would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of BYND Israel (and its 74% owned subsidiary, BYBY); |
The Business Combination Transactions were completed on March 29, 2021. Following completion of the Business Combination Transactions, BYND Cannasoft’s primary businesses are now the businesses of BYND Israel and of BYBY.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND OVERALL PERFORMANCE
| A. | OPERATING RESULTS |
For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded net loss of $1,887,757 compared to a net loss of $638,669 in 2022 and had a cash balance as at June 30, 2023 of $792,025 (December 31, 2022 - $2,392,871).
The following provides an overview of the Company’s financial results for the six month period ended June 30, 2023:
Revenue
| ● | Revenues during the period were $671,682 as compared to $662,932 for the same period in 2021. This increase is mainly a result of increased revenues from software development in the amount of $33,952, partially offset by decreased revenues from software licenses in the amount of $11,955 and decreased revenues from customer support services in the amount of $11,393. | |
| ● | Approximately 82% of our sales during the period and 86% of our sales for the same period in 2022 were to our largest costumer and as a result, we are highly dependent on this costumer to continue our operating activities. | |
| ● | Development of the Company’s New CRM Platform is now complete and a BETA version of the New CRM Platform is available, we believe that we will begin to generate revenues shortly. | |
| ● | Development of the Company’ New Cannabis CRM Platform Phase 1 is now complete and is being currently tested at the Weizmann Institute of Science, however, we do not expect to generate revenues from the platform until Q3 2023. | |
| ● | Cannasoft’s proposed Cannabis Farm is at a very early stage of development and we do not expect to generate revenues from the sale of cannabis or cannabis infused products until Q4 2023. |
Cost of Revenue
| ● | Cost of Sales for the period amounted to $288,500 as compared to $270,164 for the same period in 2022. This increase is a result of a $11,217 increase in software and other expenses. | |
| ● | For the six month period ended June 30, 2023 the Company’s gross margin was 57% as compared to 59% during 2022. |
General and Administrative Expenses, Depreciation, Consulting and Marketing, Share-based compensation and Professional Fees
| ● | For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, general and administrative expenses increased to $570,748 from $509,883 for the same period in 2022. The increase was due to a $170,465 increase in compensation to senior management and directors, partially offset by a $37,132 decrease in listing fees paid to the Canadian securities exchange and Nasdaq. |
| ● | Professional fees increased to $1,476,191 from $243,155 mainly due to a $668,028 increase in Investor relations and Public relations expenses a $146,650 increase in legal fees and a $230,726 increase in the EZ-G product design and management. | |
| ● | Consulting and Marketing expenses decreased to $1,669 from $6,188 due to a $4,519 decrease in consulting expenses in relation to the new Cannabis CRM platform. | |
| ● | Depreciation expenses decreased to $6,134 from $17,838 mainly due to the fact that many of the property and equipment of the company is fully depreciated. | |
| ● | Share-based compensation expense decreased to $18,316 from $125,192 as most stock options were granted in fiscal year 2021 and the majority of their vesting occurred in 2021 and 2022. |
| 5 |
Other Income (Loss) items
| ● | Foreign exchange loss increased to $156,014 from $115,330 mainly due to the weakening of the New Israeli Shekel. | |
| ● | Finance expense increased to $12,261 from $6,763 mainly due to an increase in bank charges. |
| B. | LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES |
As at June 30, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $792,025 (December 31, 2022: $2,392,871).
| Item | Six Month Ended June 30, 2023 (CAD$) | Six Month Ended June 30, 2022 (CAD$) | ||||||
| Cash used in operating activities | (1,248,661 | ) | (329,326 | ) | ||||
| Cash used in investing activities | (289,367 | ) | (1,164,938 | ) | ||||

| Net decrease in cash | (1,561,091 | ) | (1,353,455 | ) | ||||
| ● | The Company experienced negative cash flows from operating activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2023 in the amount of $1,248,661, primarily due to its net loss of $1,887,757 and decrease in deferred revenues of $197,961, partially offset by a $379,606 decrease in prepaid expenses and a $96,614 increase in trade payables and accrued liabilities. Cash outlays included general business and administrative expenses, consulting fees, business and product development, and professional fees. | |

PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS
As of the date of this MD&A, there are no proposed significant transactions involving the Company.
CHANGES IN OR ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments include cash, amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values because of the short term to maturity of these instruments.
As at June 30, 2023 the Company had $1,375,473 in current assets and $354,303 in current liabilities resulting in a working capital of $1,021,170.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of risks. The Company’s Directors approve and monitor the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
| 8 |
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of cash and amounts receivable.
For amounts due from customers, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, and monitors the receivable balance and the payments made in order to determine if an allowance for estimated credit losses is required. When determining the allowance for estimated credit losses the Company will consider historical experience with the customer, current market and industry conditions and any specific collection issues.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest Rate risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Loans payable include variable interest rates; however, the Company does not believe it is exposed to material interest rate risk.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as the Company has a surplus of financial assets over financial liabilities denominated in USD as of June 30, 2023, consisting of cash in the sum of $332,267. As of June 30, 2023 a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the New Israeli Shekel would have resulted in an approximate $16,613 decrease or increase, respectively, in total pre-tax profit.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. Total amount of the Company’s financial liabilities according to the contractual conditions in non-capitalized amounts (including interest payments) as at June 30, 2023 for the next 5 years and over is $393,523. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue its plans, the Company may have to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing.
Limited Financial Resources Risk
The Company has limited financial resources and operating revenues and its ability to move forward with its plans to develop its Cannabis Farm are dependent upon management’s success in raising additional capital. Failure to obtain additional financing could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of the development of its Cannabis Farm and the Company may become unable to carry out its stated business objectives.
While the Company has been successful until now, in obtaining financing from the capital markets there can be no assurance that the capital markets will remain favorable in the future, and/or that the Company will be able to raise the financing needed to pursue its business objectives on favorable terms, or at all. Restrictions on the Company’s ability to finance could have a materially adverse outcome on the Company and its securities, and its ability to continue as a going concern.
Market Risk
The Company’s common shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange and the trading value thereof is determined by the evaluations, perceptions and sentiments of both individual investors and the investment community taken as a whole. Such evaluations, perceptions and sentiments are subject to change, both in short term time horizons and longer-term time horizons. An adverse change in investor evaluations, perceptions and sentiments could have a material adverse outcome on the Company and its securities.

Business Risks relating to our CRM Business
| ● | Defects or disruptions in our planned cloud-based New CRM Platform and New Cannabis CRM Platform services could diminish demand for our services and subject us to substantial liability. | |
| ● | Interruptions or delays in service from our third-party data center hosting facilities could impair the delivery of our service and harm our business. | |
| ● | If we experience significant fluctuations in our rate of anticipated growth and fail to balance our expenses with our revenue forecasts, our results could be harmed. | |
| ● | We may in the future be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights. | |
| ● | We will rely on third-party computer hardware and software that may be difficult to replace or which could cause errors or failures of our service. | |
| ● | The market for our technology delivery model and enterprise cloud computing application services is immature and volatile, and if it develops more slowly than we expect, our business could be harmed. | |
| ● | We are currently dependent on one of our clients for the majority of current revenues and any changes to that relationship could have a significant impact on future revenues. |
Business Risks relating to our proposed Cannabis Business
| ● | The Company does not yet have sufficient financial resources to complete construction of the Cannabis Farm and there is no guarantee that we will be able to raise the necessary capital, either through debt or equity financing, or in either case, on favorable terms. | |
| ● | Our Cannabis Farm business will be dependent on our obtaining certain licences and certain GSP and GAP good practice certifications, which if not maintained in good standing, may prevent us from being able to carry on or expand our operations. | |
| ● | We will face risks inherent in an agricultural business, and an inability to grow crops successfully will interrupt our business activities. | |
| ● | We will be relying on one key production facility, and disruption of operations at this facility could significantly interfere with our ability to continue our product testing, development and production activities. | |
| ● | We will rely on key components of our production and distribution process, such as energy and third-party producers and distributors, and a disruption in the availability of those key components, or in increase in their cost, could adversely impact our business. | |
| ● | Manufacturing difficulties, disruptions or delays could limit supply of our products and limit our product sales. Producing cannabis products is difficult, complex and highly regulated. | |
| ● | We are subject to environmental, health and safety regulations and risks, which may subject us to liability under environmental laws. | |
| ● | We are dependent on the success of our quality control systems, which may fail, and cause a disruption of our business and operations. | |
| ● | The success of our branded cannabis products business will depend on the success of the cannabis product candidates we develop. To date, we have not developed any cannabis products, and we do not expect to generate revenue from any cannabis products that we develop until at least Q4 2023. | |
| ● | Unfavorable publicity or unfavorable consumer perception of us or cannabis generally may constrain our sales and revenue. |
| 10 |
General Business Risks
| ● | We face the risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if our products cause loss or injury. | |
| ● | We may not be able to obtain insurance coverage for all of the risks we face, exposing us to potential uninsured liabilities. | |
| ● | If any of the products that we produce or intend to produce 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. |
OTHER MATTERS
Legal Proceedings
There are no ongoing legal proceedings of any kind initiated by the Company or by third parties against the Company.
Contingent Liabilities
At the date of MD&A, management was unaware of any outstanding contingent liability relating to the Company’s activities.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s directors and officers are responsible for designing internal controls over financial reporting in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. The design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was assessed as of the date of this MD&A.
Based on this assessment, it was determined that certain weaknesses existed in internal controls over financial reporting. As indicative of many small companies, the lack of segregation of duties and effective risk assessment were identified as areas where weaknesses existed. The existence of these weaknesses is to be compensated for by senior management monitoring, which exists. The officers will continue to monitor very closely all financial activities of the Company and increase the level of supervision in key areas. It is important to note that this issue would also require the Company to hire additional staff in order to provide greater segregation of duties. Since the increased costs of such hiring could threaten the Company’s financial viability, management has chosen to disclose the potential risk in its filings and proceed with increased staffing only when the budgets and work load will enable the action.
| 11 |
The Company has attempted to mitigate these weaknesses, through a combination of extensive and detailed review by the Company’s directors and officers, of the financial reports, the integrity and reputation of accounting personnel, and candid discussion of those risks.
DISCLAIMER
The information provided in this document is not intended to be a comprehensive review of all matters concerning the Company. The users of this information, including but not limited to investors and prospective investors, should read it in conjunction with all other disclosure documents provided by the Company from time to time.

APPROVAL
The Company’s Board of Directors oversees management’s responsibility for financial reporting and internal control systems through an Audit Committee. This Committee meets periodically with management and annually with the independent auditors to review the scope and results of the annual audit and to review the financial statements and related financial reporting and internal control matters before the financial statements are approved by the Board of Directors and submitted to the shareholders of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company has approved the Financial Statements and the disclosure contained in this MD&A.
