Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated
Financial Statements
in United States Dollars)
Akanda Corp. (the "Company")
is domiciled in Canada and was incorporated on July 16, 2021. The Company's registered office is 77 King Street West,
Suite 400, Toronto-Dominion Centre, Toronto Canada, Ontario, M5K 0A1.
Prior to the liquidation event on July
15, 2022 described below, the Company, through its indirectly held subsidiary, Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. is in the business
of cultivating and manufacturing cannabis biomass and medical cannabis products in Lesotho (specifically near Ts'akholo, in the
Mafeteng district of the Kingdom of Lesotho, Southern Africa), for export to international markets. At December 31, 2022, the Company
determined that it no longer controlled Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. as a result of the insolvent liquidation order signed
by the Lesotho Court on July 15, 2022 (note 21). As a result of the loss of control, the Company derecognized all assets and liabilities
at their book values on December 31, 2022 and wrote down all balances receivable from the entity to $nil. During the year ended December
31, 2022, the Company recorded a loss on loss of control of Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. of $2,085,624, which included
$739,947 of cash held by Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. The Company accounted for the operating results of Bophelo Bio
Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. as a discontinued operation during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. At the date of these consolidated
financial statements, the liquidation of Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. is still ongoing. The Company is also in the business
of sales and distribution of cannabis-based products for medical use, through its subsidiary Canmart Ltd. ("Canmart") which
The Company was incorporated for the
designed purpose of becoming the ultimate parent company of Cannahealth Ltd. ("Cannahealth"), through a reorganization of
entities with common control. The share purchase agreement became unconditional on or about November 3, 2021 and the Company acquired
the shares in the aforementioned entities from Halo Collective Inc. ("Halo").
On April 29, 2022, the Company, through
its wholly owned subsidiary, Cannahealth, acquired 100% of the Ordinary Shares of Holigen Limited ("Holigen") and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, RPK Biopharma Unipessoal, LDA ("RPK") from the Flowr Corporation (note 4).
On February 28, 2024, the Company incorporated
a new subsidiary - 1468243 B.C. Ltd.
On March 24, 2024, the Company completed
the transaction with Somai Pharmaceuticals Ltd. ("Somai") for the sale of its RPK (note 5). The Company accounted for the
operating results of RPK which was a net loss of $461,405 as a discontinued operations during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and has
reclassified the operating results of RPK as a discontinued operation for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
The Company's condensed interim
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its
assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company incurred a net cash outflow
of $2,591,980 from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had working capital
of $2,218,894 and has accumulated losses of $56,045,922. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to raise
further cash funding by way of issuing debt and/or equity, as well as its ability to generate cash profits from its investments in Canmart
and Holigen Ltd. in the near future.
The Company is an early-stage company
and is primarily dependent on externally provided financing to continue as a going concern. Additional funds will be required to enable
the Company to pursue such an initiative and the Company may be unable to obtain such financing on satisfactory terms. Furthermore, there
is no assurance that the Company will be profitable. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with its
cash on hand, and/or additional cash that will be generated from operations. The Company does not at this stage have any firm plans or
commitments regarding further financing.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated
Financial Statements
in United States Dollars)
These uncertainties may cast significant
doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities which might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue in existence.
These condensed interim consolidated
financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")
as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations issued by the International Financial
Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").
These condensed interim consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial
Reporting and have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of application as those used in the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
These condensed interim consolidated
financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis, except for cash flow information, and are based on the historical cost, modified
where applicable and related to the valuation of certain financial assets and financial liabilities to fair value.
The Company and its subsidiaries are
measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each subsidiary operates - the functional currency. The Euro
is the functional currency of RPK, Holigen and Cannahealth, Great British Pounds is the functional currency of Canmart and Canadian Dollars
is the functional currency of 1371011 and Akanda while the United States Dollars is its reporting currency.
These condensed interim consolidated
financial statements are prepared and presented in United States Dollars ("USD" or "$"), which is the Company's
reporting currency. All financial information has been rounded to the nearest dollar except where indicated otherwise.
The preparation of condensed interim
consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect
the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses during the year. Estimates
and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the
estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Areas in which management has made critical judgments in the process of applying
accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements include
the determination of the Company's and its subsidiaries' functional currencies. Information about key assumptions and estimation
