EXPLANATORY NOTE
Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) on Form 20-F to amend its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2025 (the “Original Filing”), to update and address an omission in the Original Filing, which did not include an audit report from MNP LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, for the financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 and to add an index to the Financial Statements. This Amendment also includes (i) an updated Exhibit 15.1 (Consent of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), and (ii) new certifications by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed as exhibits to the Amendment as Exhibits 12.1, 12.2, 13.1 and 13.2. The Company is amending and restating Item 8 in Part I and Item 18 in Part III of the Original Filing as set forth in this Amendment.
Except as otherwise expressly noted, this Amendment does not amend, update or restate the information in the Original Filing, and no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. The Original Filing continues to speak as of the dates described in the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events that occurred subsequent to such dates. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Original Filing and filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing, as information in such filings may update or supersede certain information contained in the Original Filing or in the Amendment.

PART I.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information
Consolidated Financial Statements
Our 2024 Annual Financial Statements are appended at the end of this Amendment, starting at page F-1, and incorporated herein by reference.
Dividend Distribution Policy
The Company does not currently have any dividend distribution policy. Except for the Celly Nu shares distributed in October 2023 pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, where the Company distributed an aggregate of approximately 45,712,529 Celly Nu Shares to its Shareholders, the Company has not paid any dividends or distributions on its outstanding Class B Subordinate Voting Shares, and we have no current intention to declare dividends on our Class B Subordinate Voting Shares in the foreseeable future. Any decision to pay dividends on our Class B Subordinate Voting Shares in the future will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, current and anticipated cash requirements and surplus, financial condition, any future contractual restrictions and financing agreement covenants, solvency tests imposed by corporate law and other factors that our Board may deem relevant.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is engaged in certain legal proceedings, as further described below. Litigation has been, and is expected to be, costly and time-consuming and could divert the attention of management and key personnel from our business operations. Although we intend to vigorously defend ourselves against any pending claims, and future claims that may occur, we cannot assure that we will succeed in defending any of these claims and that the judgments will not be upheld against us. If we are unsuccessful in our defense of these claims or unable to settle the claims in a manner satisfactory to us, we may be faced with outcomes that could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial condition. Except as otherwise disclosed below, there are no material outstanding legal proceedings or regulatory actions to which the Company is party, nor, to Company’s knowledge, are there any such proceedings or actions contemplated.
GBB Drink Lab Litigation
On May 12, 2023, the Corporation announced receipt of a lawsuit filed in S.D. Fla. by GBB against the Corporation, alleging breach of a mutual non-disclosure agreement and misappropriation of trade secrets. GBB claims that its assets were, as of August 30, 2022 (prior to the misappropriation and material breach) valued at US$53,047,000. The Corporation believes the allegations are without merit and continues to defend itself in the lawsuit.
| 3 |
On June 23, 2023, the Corporation filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On July 3, 2023, GBB responded in opposition to the Corporation’s motion to dismiss the complaint. The Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint filed on June 23, 2023, has been fully briefed and is awaiting adjudication by S.D. Fla. In the meantime, on August 24, 2023, the parties filed a proposed joint scheduling report with the S.D. Fla., which set forth various deadlines that would govern this action. Under the proposed joint schedule, the case was supposed to be trial-ready by November 30, 2024. On January 8, 2024, the S.D. Fla. Dismissed the Corporation’s request for a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
On January 22, 2024, the Corporation filed a third-party complaint against Joseph Romano (a former director of the Company), and a counterclaim against GBB. The Corporation alleges that Mr. Romano breached his fiduciary duty by providing or fabricating confidential information to GBB, and that GBB aided and abetted this breach. On October 9, 2024, Judge Melissa Damian denied Mr. Romano’s motion to dismiss, finding that the Corporation plausibly alleged Romano breached fiduciary duties, including his duties of loyalty, confidentiality, and to act in the company’s best interests. GBB and Romano have denied the allegations in their respective answers.
As of March 27, 2025, the parties are finalizing documents to be used in discovery in advance of a May 1, 2025, deadline. Under the proposed schedule, the parties are required to participate in a mediation process by June 18, 2025. The case is expected to be trial-ready by September 2025.
Dr. Raza Bokhari
Following the contested meetings scheduled to be held on June 29, 2021, the former CEO, Dr. Raza Bokhari commenced five actions against the Company and management, which resulted in counterclaims and additional unexpected legal and operating expenses. As at the date of the Annual Report, the status of the matters is as follows:
Wrongful Dismissal Arbitration
On July 15, 2021, the Corporation’s former CEO, Dr. Raza Bokhari, filed an arbitration notice seeking C$30.2 million for breach of contract, severance, and damages, along with C$500,000 for punitive damages and legal fees. Dr. Bokhari had been placed on administrative leave after the May 14, 2021, shareholder meeting and was terminated for cause on July 27, 2021, following an investigation by a special committee of the Board. The Company defended the arbitration and counterclaimed against Dr. Bokhari for reimbursement of expenses he directed the Company to pay himself, as well as losses the Company sustained as a result of Dr. Bokhari’s decision to authorize a series of dilutive share issuances.
The arbitration concluded in August 2022. In its 174 page Merit Award, the Justice Cunningham dismissed Dr. Bokhari’s claims in their entirety. Justice Cunningham also ordered Dr. Bokhari to repay certain monies to the Company in respect of the Company’s counterclaim, while also awarding the Company its costs of the arbitration which he subsequently fixed at approximately C$2.8 million, plus interest. The Merits Award is available at the following link: https://fsdpharma.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/2023-03-01-Application-Record-Applicant-FSD-Pharma-Inc.pdf.
On December 9, 2022, Dr. Bokhari sought to set aside the award, citing unfair treatment and inadequate reasoning. On October 4, 2023, the Company announced that the ONSC had dismissed Dr. Bokhari’s motion to set aside the arbitration award. Dr. Bokhari was required to put up C$150,000 as security for costs before the motion was heard, which he has forfeited. In addition, Dr. Bokhari was ordered to pay C$175,000 to cover the Company’s legal costs for his failed set aside motion.
On October 13, 2023, Dr. Bokhari served notices of motion on the Company for leave to appeal the set aside and enforcement orders issued by the ONSC on October 4, 2023. On December 1, 2023, the Company filed a petition to confirm the arbitration award in the United States District Court for Eastern District of Pennsylvania. On December 15, 2023, the Company submitted a responding party’s factum to the ONCA. On February 6, 2024, the Company announced that the ONSC affirmed judgment and awarded an additional C$5,000 in costs in light of Dr. Bokhari’s failed motion for leave to appeal. On June 27, 2024, the United States District Court for Eastern District of Pennsylvania granted judgement in favor of the Company in its case against Dr. Bokhari. On January 24, 2025, the Company sought a court order from the ONSC declaring Dr. Bokhari to be a vexatious litigant. As of the date hereof, the litigation is ongoing.

Restraining Order and Class B Subordinate Voting Share Cancellation Application
On January 21, 2021, and February 10, 2021, the Board authorized the issuance of an aggregate of 1,349,765 Class B Subordinate Voting Shares as share based awards to certain directors and officers of the Corporation, including Dr. Bokhari. Upon determining that 1,198,146 of these Class B Subordinate Voting Shares (the “Contested Shares”) had been inappropriately issued contrary to applicable laws, the Board resolved to cancel the Contested Shares on June 1, 2021, and later directed the Corporation’s transfer agent to cancel and return the Contested Shares to treasury. On July 2, 2021, Dr. Bokhari, filed an action against the Corporation seeking to prevent the Corporation from cancelling his portion of the Contested States. The motion was heard and denied on July 27, 2021. On July 21, 2021, the Corporation commenced a legal proceeding against Dr. Bokhari, former members of the Board, including James Datin, Robert Ciaruffoli, Stephen Buyer and Gerald Goldberg, Dr. Bokhari’s brokerages’ Haywood Securities Inc. and Haywood Securities (US) Inc., and the Corporation’s transfer agent. The Corporation made an application before the ONSC stating that the Contested Shares were issued contrary to section 23(2) of the OBCA and validly cancelled by resolution of the Board passed on June 1, 2021. The Corporation was able to reach an agreement with all of the former directors other than Dr. Bokhari under which they did not oppose the Corporation’s application and agreed to be bound by the decision in the application, and the Corporation agreed not to seek costs against them. Neither the Corporation’s transfer agent nor any of Dr. Bokhari’s brokerages took any position on the application. On March 8, 2022, the court issued a mixed decision in the application, permitting the Contested Share grant to Dr. Bokhari until the date of his termination but cancelling 504,888 Contested Shares relating to services that were to be provided after the date of termination.
Bokhari v. FSD Pharma Inc. Et al.
On July 2, 2021, Dr Bokhari filed an action against the Corporation, FSD BioSciences, Anthony Durkacz and Zeeshan Saeed. The case was placed in civil suspense pending resolution of arbitration. Therefore, no further activity will occur in this case unless and until the aforementioned arbitration concludes. As of the date hereof, the litigation is ongoing.
Bokhari Wrongful Means Action
In June 2023, Dr. Bokhari commenced an action against the Company and FSD Biosciences by way of notice of action issued out of the ONSC. He subsequently filed a statement of claim, of July 7, 2023 and served the notice of action and statement of claim on a former director of the Company on December 19, 2023. The action seeks USD $1.5 million in damages for intentional interference with economic relations, misrepresentation, negligence, and other causes of action to be specified in a statement of claim. We delivered a notice of intent to defend in the action on January 5, 2024, but thus far not been required to provide a statement of defense. We believe these claims are without merit.
Bokhari Employment Claim
By way of notice of action issued on May 11, 2023, Dr. Bokhari commenced an action for damages for breach of contract against the Company in the ONSC. He subsequently filed a statement of claim in which he specified the claim as a claim for USD $30.2 million in damages on the basis that the Company breached his employment agreement by not providing him notice of default before terminating his employment. On November 10, 2023, the last day on which he could do so, Dr. Bokhari served the notice of action and statement of claim on an FSD director. We served a notice of intent to defend this action on November 22, 2023 but have not been required to serve a statement of defense. We note that to the extent he wished to advance this claim, it is a claim that Dr. Bokhari should have advanced in the employment arbitration, but did not do so As such, and bearing in mind the decision the arbitrator reached in that proceeding in our view, we believe that this claim has no merit.
| 5 |
Cunningham Assessment Application
By notice of application dated September 26, 2023, Dr. Bokhari applied to the ONSC for an order directing an assessment of the accounts/billing rendered by Justice Cunningham in the Wrongful Dismissal Arbitration noted above. In late January 2024, Dr. Bokhari served Arbitrator Cunningham with the notice of application and a supporting affidavit sworn January 24, 2024. Under the terms of the retainer agreement between FSD, Dr. Bokhari and Justice Cunningham, FSD is jointly and severally liable for any costs Justice Cunningham might incur as a result of this proceeding. The liability exposure that FSD could have in this matter is approximately C$182,777.50, which represents half of the arbitration fees, plus any costs in defending the arbitrator To protect its interest, the Company has instructed its legal counsel to move to have the Company joined to the proceeding. We believe this claim is without merit.
As of May 7, 2024, Mr. Bokhari decided to abandon his application to have his accounts assessed.
At a hearing on November 28, 2024, the ONSC awarded the Company C$13,000 for costs. This award was released February 10, 2025, and the amount is currently outstanding. The Company appeared before the registrar on March 12, 2025, to address the collection of the award.
Bokhari Indemnification Application
On November 12, 2021, Dr. Bokhari commenced an application in the ONSC seeking an order appointing an arbitrator to arbitrate his claim to be entitled to indemnification of his legal expenses associated with the litigation he commenced against FSD or in which he was named as a party by FSD. FSD denied the validity of the underlying indemnification agreement and therefore opposed the application. In April 2022, the parties agreed to allow Dr. Bokhari to adjourn the application indefinitely. Last year, Dr. Bokhari retained new counsel who indicated that it intended to pursue the application. To date that new counsel has taken no steps to do so. We believe this claim is without merit.
On April 6, 2022, Dr. Bokhari commenced an application in the Superior Court seeking an order appointing an arbitrator to arbitrate his claim to be entitled to indemnification of his legal expenses associated with the litigation he has commenced against the Corporation or in which he has been named as a defendant against the Corporation. The Corporation denied the validity of the underlying indemnification agreement and opposed the application. In April 2022, the parties agreed to adjourn the application without setting a new hearing date. As of the date hereof, the litigation is ongoing.
The Company’s Petition against Raza Bokhari to Confirm Arbitration Award
On December 1, 2023, the Company filed a Petition to Confirm Arbitration (the “Petition”), in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, which seeks to (a) confirm the four awards entered in an arbitration in Ontario, Canada, in favor of the Company and against former CEO Raza Bokhari and (b) enter final judgment against Bokhari in an amount in excess of C$3,000,000. The petition was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Dr. Bokhari filed a response on February 9, 2024. The Company filed a response and the litigation is ongoing.
On March 31, 2024, Mr. Bokhari requested a week-long extension, which pushed the Company’s deadline of February 23, 2024, by a week. The Company filed a response on March 1, 2024.
As of May 31, 2024, the Company won the petition to confirm the arbitration awards against Dr. Raza Bokhari. As a result, on June 27, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania confirmed the Company’s motion for entry of judgement and granted judgement in favor of the Company of approximately US$3,000,000. As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has yet to receive payment by Dr. Bokhari.
Parkway Clinical Laboratories
On July 8, 2021, Parkway Clinical Laboratories, a company wholly owned by Dr. Bokhari, filed an action against the Company, which was subsequently settled following a conference between the parties on October 20, 2021.
On July 20, 2021, a shareholder of the Corporation filed a claim in the Delaware Chancery Court against the Corporation and its directors and officers seeking to remedy harm they believe the directors and officers of the Corporation have caused by their actions. The shareholder has filed the claim on count of breach of fiduciary duties and corporate waste against the directors and officers with no dollar amount being claimed. On September 13, 2021, the Corporation filed a motion to dismiss in its entirety and the motion was heard on February 8, 2022. The claim was dismissed by the court May 6, 2022.

Lawsuit against CIBC World Markets, RBC Dominion Securities, and John Does 1-10
On October 20, 2024, the Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against CIBC World Markets, Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc., and John Does 1-10. The complaint alleges market manipulation through spoofing activities between January 1, 2020, and August 15, 2024. The Company is seeking damages of more than US$700 million.
The complaint alleges that between January 1, 2020, and August 15, 2024, the defendants engaged in "spoofing," an unlawful trading practice, to manipulate the market price of Quantum's shares. The complaint details that the defendants placed thousands of spoofing orders to sell, creating the illusion that Quantum's share price was declining. This practice allegedly "tricked" other investors into selling their shares at lower prices, driving the company's share price downward. The defendants then purchased shares at artificially depressed prices, positioning themselves to profit when the market price rebounded. The Company claims to have suffered significant damage and seeks to recover more than USD 700 million. It alleges that it sold approximately 90 million shares of its stock on U.S. and Canadian exchanges during the relevant period at artificially depressed prices due to the defendants' spoofing activities. The complaint names CIBC World Markets, Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc., and John Does 1 through 10 as defendants. It asserts three claims for relief: violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5(a) and (c), violation of Section 9(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and New York Common Law Fraud.
Employment Litigation
From time to time, the Company is involved with employment litigation, in the normal course of its business.
Subsequent to the resignation of two former employees of the Company (the “Former Employees”), on July 9, 2021, the Former Employees filed a joint claim against the Corporation. On September 17, 2021, the Corporation filed a motion to dismiss the claim in its entirety. On December 13, 2021, the Court granted the Corporation’s motion and dismissed the case. One of the Former Employee’s claims was dismissed with prejudice while the other was not.
On July 18, 2023, Kevin Cassidy, a former employee, sued the Company and Lucid. The claim was for wrongful dismissal and the amounts claimed were C$497,000, plus additional damages, which have not been quantified, plus interest and costs. Pleadings have been exchanged, and on January 26, 2024, Cassidy’s counsel served a motion for summary judgment.
On September 13, 2024, Cassidy entered into a settlement agreement with the Company. The terms of the settlement stipulate that a sum of C$140,000 shall be paid to Cassidy in 14 equal installments of C$10,000 each. As of the date of this Annual Report, individual payments have been successfully executed according to the schedule outlined in the settlement agreement and are in good standing.
On October 12, 2023, Dr. Sima Salahshor, a former employee, sued the Company and Lucid. The claim is for wrongful dismissal and the amounts claimed are C$97,500, plus other damages, which have not been quantified, plus interest and costs. The claim was served. This matter is at the pleadings stage and we expect that the defense will be served shortly. It is premature to estimate the likely outcome of this claim.
On August 13, 2024, Dr. Salashor entered into a settlement agreement with the Company. The terms of the settlement stipulated that a sum of C$65,000 shall be paid to Dr. Salashor. A single payment of C$65,000 was made on August 19, 2024. The company has satisfied the terms of the settlement agreement reached, and this matter is now closed effective December 31, 2024.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| F-1 |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM |
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Quantum Biopharma Ltd. (formerly, FSD Pharma Inc.)
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Quantum Biopharma Ltd. (formerly, FSD Pharma Inc.) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our 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 misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

[c] Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following include items requiring critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations, that management has made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:
[i] Going concern
Judgement is required in determining if disclosure of a material uncertainty related to events or conditions which might cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is required in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In management’s judgement, such disclosure is not required. This judgement is dependent on management’s expectations of future net cash flows, existing borrowing capacity and financial obligations in the next 12 months.
Although during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had a loss from operations and negative cash flows from operation activities, the Company was able to secure debt and equity financing to fulfill its operational needs. Based on management’s expectations of future net cash flows, management has applied judgement that there is no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
[ii] Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is named as a party to claims or involved in proceedings, including legal, regulatory and tax related, in the ordinary course of its business. While the outcome of these matters may not be estimable at the reporting date, the Company makes provisions, where possible, for the estimated outcome of such claims or proceedings. Should a loss result from the resolution of any claims or proceedings that differs from these estimates, the difference will be accounted for as a charge to profit or loss in that period. The actual results may vary and may cause significant adjustments.
[iii] Intangible assets
The Company employs significant estimates to determine the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, considering the nature of the asset, contractual rights, expected use and review of asset useful lives. The Company reviews amortization methods and useful lives annually or when circumstances change and adjusts its amortization methods and assumptions prospectively.
The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment annually or when impairment indicators exist. If the recoverable amount of the respective intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, it is considered to be impaired. In the process of measuring the recoverable amount, management makes assumptions about future events and circumstances. The actual results may vary and may cause significant adjustments.

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022
[iv] Valuation of share-based payments and warrants
Management measures the costs for share-based payments and warrants, including certain warrant liabilities, using market-based option valuation techniques. Assumptions are made and estimates are used in applying the valuation techniques. These include estimating the future volatility of the share price, expected dividend yield, expected term, expected risk-free interest rate and the rate of forfeiture. For performance share units (“PSUs”), management is required to estimate when the vesting conditions will be met. Such estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions affect the fair value estimates of share-based payments, warrants and warrant liabilities.
[v] Allowance for credit losses
Judgment is required as to the timing of establishing an allowance for credit losses and to estimate the amount of expected credit losses taking into consideration counterparty creditworthiness, the fair value of underlying collateral, current and future economic trends, the expected residual value of the underlying assets and past experience.
[vi] Functional currency
The Company and its subsidiaries are required to determine their functional currencies based on the primary economic environment in which each entity operates. In order to do that, management has to analyze several factors, including which currency mainly influences the cost of undertaking the business activities, in which currency the entity has received financing, and in which currency it keeps its receipts from operating activities. Management uses its judgment to determine which factors are most important when the above indicators are mixed and the functional currency is not obvious.
[vii] Disclosure of interests in other entities
To assess the investment in Celly, judgment was required to determine if the Company has significant influence or control of Celly. The Company considered the relevant guidance in IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements, IAS 24 – Related Party Disclosures and IAS – 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures.
Judgment is applied in determining when the Company controls an investment even if the Company holds less than a majority of the investee’s voting rights (the existence of de facto control). The Company concluded it has control of Celly even though the Company only held 22.95% of the voting rights as of December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 – 26.15%). The Company concluded that it has control of Celly as the Company, together with persons or entities considered to be de facto agents of the Company, held a combined 56.83% (December 31, 2023 - 52.05%) of the voting rights of Celly. In addition, key management personnel of the Company hold three of the four board of director positions of Celly. The assessment of control is performed on a continuous basis. The Company determined that it obtained control of Celly on July 31, 2023, and control was maintained from July 31, 2023, through December 31, 2024.
Celly is significantly dependent on the Company as a result of the License Agreement and the loan. The NCI component of Celly is included as a separate component in equity (Note 17).
[viii] Derivative liability in Convertible Debenture
The estimates and judgements made in relation to the fair value of derivative liabilities are subject to measurement uncertainty. The valuation technique used to determine the fair value requires inputs that involve assumptions and judgement such as the credit risk of the Company, volatility of the Company, probability of default event and foreign exchange rate. Such judgement and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions will affect the fair value of the derivative liability.

[ix] Measurement of digital assets, at fair value less costs to sell:
Digital assets consist of electronic currency, coins, or alternative cryptocurrency coins (altcoins) - a type of currency only available in digital form.
There are inherent and higher risks to digital assets including the risk associated with traditional securities, which include significant price volatility, the loss of the digital assets, fraud, and high transaction fees.
Where the fair values of digital assets recorded on the consolidated statements of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data are not available, judgment is required to establish fair values. Changes in estimates and assumptions about these inputs could affect the reported fair value.
3. Material accounting policies
[a] Equipment
Equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of an item of equipment includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of the asset.
Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets provided as follows:
Computer equipment | |
Furniture and fixtures Lease improvements |
An item of equipment and any significant part initially recognized are derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from their use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss when the asset is derecognized. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation and the depreciation charge are adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
[b] Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss on a straight-line basis over the useful life, as follows:
Intellectual Property |
Expenditures on internally generated intangible assets during the research phase are expensed as incurred. Expenditures on internally generated intangible assets during the development phase, which comprise deferred development costs, are initially capitalized and recognized in the consolidated balance sheet if they meet the recognition criteria. Subsequent to initial recognition, deferred development costs are accounted for at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life beginning once the deferred development costs are used in commercial production.

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022
[c] Foreign Currency Transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currencies at exchange rates in effect on the date of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currencies at the foreign exchange rate applicable at that period-end date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
On consolidation, assets and liabilities of operations with a functional currency other than United States dollar are translated into United States dollar at period end foreign currency rates. Expenses of such operations are translated into the United States dollar at average rates for the period. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are
recognized in other comprehensive income. The relevant amount in cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment is reclassified into earnings upon disposition of a foreign operation.
[d] Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
· | Financial assets |
|
|
| On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (‘‘FVOCI’’), or fair value through profit and loss (‘‘FVTPL’’). The classification of financial assets is based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL: |
| · | It is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and |
| · | Its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. |
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component that is initially measured at the transaction price) is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition.
The following accounting policies apply to the subsequent measurement of financial assets.
Financial assets at FVTPL | Subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. |
Financial assets at amortized cost | Subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. |

Digital assets at fair value
Digital coins and digital tokens held by the Company are carried at fair value. The Company determines the fair value of such digital coins and digital tokens using the closing price on the valuation date provided by the custodian that the Company uses for holding these digital assets.
To determine the fair value of a particular digital asset, the Company relies on its custodian as the primary source for price information, which management considers as approximate fair value. Unlike traditional methods that involve assessing multiple exchanges and applying specific criteria, the Company uses the custodian’s published price data directly as the relevant and reliable source for determining fair value. This approach aligns with the Company’s operational and reporting practices.
The Company evaluates the principal markets annually and conducts a quarterly analysis to determine if any changes in the principal market are required.
· | Financial liabilities |
|
|
| The Company initially recognizes financial liabilities at fair value on the date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Company classifies its financial liabilities as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or amortized cost.
Subsequent to initial recognition, other liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value with changes being recognized in consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. |
|
|
· | Financial liabilities and equity instruments |
| · | Classification as debt or equity |
|
|
|
|
| Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. The Company does not reclassify financial liabilities or equity after initial recognition due to a change in circumstance. |
|
|
|
| · | Equity instruments |
|
|
|
|
| An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by a group entity are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments |

· | Classification of financial instruments |
|
|
| The Company classifies its financial assets and liabilities depending on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired, their characteristics and management intent as outlined below: |
| Cash and cash equivalent | Amortized cost |
| Digital assets | Fair value through profit or loss |
| Investments | Fair value through profit or loss |
| Finance receivables | Amortized cost |
| Trade and other payables | Amortized cost |
| Warrants liability | Fair value through profit or loss |
| Notes payable | Amortized cost |
| Convertible debentures | Amortized cost |
| Derivative liabilities | Fair value through profit or loss |
· | Impairment of financial assets |
| · | Finance receivables |
|
| |
| Finance receivables are a financial asset initially recognized at fair value and are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company’s business model is to hold these receivables to collect contractual cash flows that represent solely payments of principal and interest. Finance receivables are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period in accordance with IFRS 9 as outlined below.
The ECL model is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the assets, unless there has been no significant increase in credit risk since origination, in which case the allowance is based on the 12 months’ expected credit loss. The ECL model uses a three-stage impairment approach based on changes in the credit risk of the finance receivable since initial recognition. The three stages are as follows:
Stage 1– Finance receivables that have not experienced a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.
Stage 2– Finance receivables that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.
Stage 3 – Finance receivables for which there is objective evidence of impairment. | |

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022
The Company considers a number of factors when assessing if there has been a significant increase in credit risk, including the number of days past due, changes in the financial condition of the borrower, responsiveness of the borrower and other borrower specific information that may be available, without consideration of collateral.
In determining its estimation of the ECL allowances, the Company also considers past events, current market conditions including interest rates, real estate market statistics, and supportable forward-looking information, including macro-economic factors, such as housing price and interest rate forecasts.
The ECL model requires the recognition of credit losses equal to 12-month ECLs for Stage 1 and recognition of lifetime expected credit losses for Stage 2 and 3. The 12-month ECLS are lifetime ECLS that are expected to occur within 12 months after the reporting date. The lifetime ECLs represent the expected loss in value due to possible default events over the life of a mortgage receivable weighted by the likelihood of a loss. Three factors are primarily used to measure ECLs: probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD).
[e] Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, including equipment and intangible assets are tested for impairment at each reporting date when there are indicators of impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. The Company has no indefinite life intangible assets.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the cash-generating unit, or "CGU"). The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment charge is recognized immediately in net loss equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lesser of the revised estimate of the recoverable amount, and the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized previously.

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in net profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss.
Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year-end date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill and temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
[expressed in United States dollars]
For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022
Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period, the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
[g] Share-based Compensation
Share options and warrants awarded to non-employees are accounted for using the fair value of the instrument awarded or service provided, whichever is considered more reliable. Share options, performance share units (“PSUs”), restrictive units (“RSUs”) and warrants awarded to employees are accounted for using the fair value method. The fair value of the share options, PSUs, RSUs and warrants granted are recognized as an expense on a proportionate basis consistent with the vesting features of each tranche of the grant. The fair value of share options and warrants are calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with assumptions applicable at the date of grant. The fair value of PSUs is calculated using market share prices at the date of grant.
[h] Net Loss per Share
Net loss per share is calculated based on the loss for the financial year and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per share is calculated using the loss for the financial year adjusted for the effect of any dilutive instruments and the weighted average diluted number of shares (ignoring any potential issue of common shares that would be anti-dilutive) during the year.
[i] External research and development
External research and development costs are expensed in the periods in which they are incurred, with the exception of development costs for new products with proven technical feasibility and for which a defined future market exists. Such development costs are capitalized in accordance with the Company’s policy for intangible assets. The Company’s external research and development costs relate primarily to third-party contract research organizations.
[j] Discontinued operations
Discontinued operations are reported when a component of the Company, representing a separate major line of business or area of operations with clearly distinguishable cash flows, has been disposed of or is held for sale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. Discontinued operations are reported as a separate element of net income or loss on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for both the current and comparative periods. When a disposal group is classified as held for sale, assets and liabilities are aggregated and presented as separate line items, respectively, on the consolidated statements of financial position. Comparative periods are not restated on the consolidated statements of financial position. Assets held for sale are not depreciated and are measured at the lower of carrying value and fair value less costs to sell.
[k] Share Capital
Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

[l] Warrants
The Company follows the relative fair value method with respect to the measurement of common shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The proceeds from the issuance of units are allocated between share capital and warrants. The warrant component is recorded in contributed surplus. Unit proceeds are allocated to common shares and warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the share price at the time of financing. If the warrants are exercised, consideration paid by the warrant holder, together with the amount previously recognized in contributed surplus, is recorded as an increase to share capital. Upon expiration of warrants, the amount applicable to expired warrants is left in contributed surplus.
[m] Convertible debentures
The Company issues convertible debentures which can be converted into common shares at the option of the holder, at a fixed conversion price denominated in Canadian dollars.
For convertible debentures which provide conversion into a variable number of shares or into a fixed number of shares for a variable amount of consideration, the conversion option is accounted for as an embedded derivative, which is separated from the host contract. Upon initial recognition, the derivative liability is valued at fair value using a valuation model. The carrying amount of the convertible debenture (host debt) will be recognized as the difference between the total proceeds received from the issuance and the fair value of the derivative liability. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the derivative liability and host contract in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
[n] Inventories
Inventories consist of purchased finished goods and raw materials that will be used in the manufacturing of finished goods. The cost of raw materials inventory is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The cost of finished goods are valued at the lower cost or net realizable value. The inventories balance is included in these financial statements as part of the Company’s investment in Celly (Note 17).
New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the Company
Amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, Issued but not yet effective
IAS 1 was amended in January 2020 to address inconsistences with how entities apply the standard over classification of current and non-current liabilities. The amendment serves to address whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement should be classified as current or non-current. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this amendment as of the effective date, and there were no material changes upon adoption.
IFRS 16 – Leases (“IFRS 16”)
In September 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16, Leases, which add to requirements explaining how a company accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the transaction.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The amendment did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
All other IFRSs and amendments issued but not yet effective have been assessed by the Company and are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

[a] August 2022 Warrants
In August 2020, the Company issued
On initial recognition the Company determined that these warrants did not meet the IFRS definition of equity due to the exercise price being denominated in United States dollar, which was not the functional currency of the Company at the time resulting in variability in exercise price. The change in functional currency on October 1, 2020, was determined to be a change in circumstance and, as such, the Company has made an accounting policy choice to continue to recognize the warrants as a financial liability classified at fair value through profit or loss.

[b] December 2024 Warrants
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued warrants attached to its convertible debenture (Note 14).
The Company determine that these warrants were exchangeable into a variable number of shares due to foreign exchange, and as such, the warrants were classified as financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate fair value. Expected volatility has been based on an evaluation of the historical volatility of the Company’s share price. The risk-free interest rate for the life of the warrants was based on the yields available on government benchmark bonds with a term approximating the remaining term of the warrants. The life of the warrants is based on the contractual term. The fair value of the warrant liability as at December 13, 2024, the date of issuance was $

The Company may redeem the Debentures at any time prior to maturity, in whole or in part, upon fifteen days’ notice and payment of certain penalties as applicable.
The convertible debenture was determined to be a financial instrument comprising a host debt component, a conversion feature and a warrant component which are both considered to be embedded derivatives due to variable consideration payable upon conversion caused by foreign exchange. On initial recognition, the fair value of the embedded derivatives is calculated first, with the residual value being assigned to the host financial liability. The initial fair value of the warrants is $
The fair value of the conversion feature is determined by using with-and-without method that considers change in expected cash flows due to the conversion. The model includes all terms of the convertible debenture described above as well as the probability of conversion, the impact of default barrier and the implied credit spread of the Company. The fair value of the conversion feature as at December 13, 2024, the date of issuance was $

16. Share-based compensation
The Company has established a share option plan (the “Option Plan”) for directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The Company’s Board determines, among other things, the eligibility of individuals to participate in the Option Plan, the term and vesting periods, and the exercise price of options granted to individuals under the Option Plan.
Each share option is converted into one common share of the Company on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the individual on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry.

Measurement of fair values
The fair value of share options granted during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following inputs:
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 |
Grant date share price | C$ | C$ | C$ |
Exercise price | C$ | C$ | C$ |
Expected dividend yield | - | - | - |
Risk free interest rate | |||
Expected life | | | |
Expected volatility |
Expected volatility was estimated by using the annualized historical volatility of the Company. The expected option life represents the period that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on Canadian government bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.

[ii] Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) and Restrictive Share Units (“RSUs”)
In May 2022, the Company established a performance share unit plan (“PSU Plan”) and a restrictive unit plan (“RSU Plan”), for directors, offers, employees and consultants of the Company. The Company’s Board determines the eligibility of individuals to participate in the PSU Plan and RSU Plan to align their interests with those of the Company’s shareholders.
No amounts are paid or payable by the individual on receipt of the PSUs and RSUs. Each PSU and RSU converts into one Class B Subordinate Voting Share of the Company at $nil exercise price. The Company’s PSU Plan and RSU Plan provides that the number of common shares reserved for issuance may not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of common shares that are outstanding unless the Board has increased such limit by a Board resolution.

From time to time, the Company is named as a party to claims or involved in proceedings, including legal, regulatory and tax related, in the ordinary course of its business. While the outcome of these matters may not be estimable at the reporting date, the Company makes provisions, where possible, for the estimated outcome of such claims or proceedings. Should a loss result from the resolution of any claims or proceedings that differs from these estimates, the difference will be accounted for as a charge to the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss in that year.
GBB Drink Lab, Inc.
On May 12, 2023,
On June 23, 2023, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On July 3, 2023, GBB responded in opposition to the Company‘s motion to dismiss the complaint. The Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint filed on June 23, 2023, has been fully briefed and is awaiting adjudication by S.D. Fla. On August 24, 2023, the parties filed a proposed joint scheduling report with the S.D. Fla., which set forth various deadlines that would govern this action. Under the proposed joint schedule, the case was to be trial-ready by November 30, 2024. On January 8, 2024, the S.D. Fla. Dismissed the Company’s request for a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

On October 9, 2024, Judge Melissa Damian denied Mr. Romano’s motion to dismiss, finding that the Company plausibly alleged Romano breached fiduciary duties, including his duties of loyalty, confidentiality, and to act in the Company’s best interests. GBB and Romano have denied the allegations in their respective answers.
As of March 17, 2025, the parties are finalizing documents to be used in discovery in advance of a May 1, 2025, deadline. Under the proposed schedule, the parties are required to participate in a mediation process by June 18, 2025. The case is expected to be trial-ready by September 2025.

The Purchase Agreement specifies events of default, including failure to pay amounts due, breach of material terms, termination of legal representation without cause, misrepresentation, misappropriation of litigation proceeds, insolvency, or challenges to the agreement’s validity. In such cases, the Buyer may declare the full amount immediately due and enforce its security interest.

25. Financial Instruments and Risk Management
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from deposits with banks and outstanding other receivables and finance receivables. The Company trades only with recognized, creditworthy third parties.
The Company does not hold any collateral as security for its outstanding finance receivables but mitigates this risk by dealing only with, what management believes to be, financially sound counterparties and, accordingly, does not anticipate significant loss for non-performance. The loans are secured by real estate properties and the Company is granted a first or second collateral charge mortgage on the properties for a sum equal to the interest payments plus the principal amount. The Company performs assessments on factors such as: timing of payments, loan to value, communications with the borrower and external macro factors such as interest rates and economic conditions to mitigate risks.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional financing to meet its commitments and sustain operations. The Company mitigates liquidity risk by management of working capital, cash flows, the issuance of share capital and if desired, the issuance of debt. The Company’s trade and other payables and notes payables are all due within twelve months from the date of these financial statements.
If unanticipated events occur that impact the Company’s ability to carry out the planned clinical trials, the Company may need to take additional measures to increase its liquidity and capital resources, including issuing debt or additional equity financing or strategically altering the business forecast and plan. In this case, there is no guarantee that the Company will obtain satisfactory financing terms or adequate financing. Failure to obtain adequate financing on satisfactory terms could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
· | Foreign currency risk |
|
|
| Foreign currency risk arises on financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency in which they are measured. The Company’s primary exposure with respect to foreign currencies is from Canadian dollar denominated cash, investments and trade and other payables. A 1% change in the foreign exchange rates would not result in any significant impact to the financial statements. |
· | Interest rate risk |
|
|
| Interest rate risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company does not have any material long-term borrowings outstanding subject to variable interest rates. Therefore, the Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as at December 31, 2024. |
· | Other price risk |
|
|
| Other price risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Company is not exposed to other price risk as at December 31, 2024. |

[expressed in United States dollars]
For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022
Fair values
The carrying values of cash, other receivables, trade and other payables and notes payable approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these items or they are being carried at fair value or, for notes payable, interest payables are close to the current market rates. The risk of material change in fair value is not considered to be significant. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to manage this risk.
Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by the Company’s valuation techniques. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based on the lowest-level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
| · | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices as at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
|
|
|
| · | Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
|
|
|
| · | Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. |
The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. A financial instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value. During the year, there were no transfers of amounts between levels.
