1. Nature of business
FSD Pharma Inc. ("FSD" or the "Company"), through its wholly owned subsidiary, FSD Biosciences Inc., is focused on Pharmaceutical research and development ("R&D") of its lead compound, FSD 201, ultra-micronized Palmitoyl ethylamine ("PEA"). FSD 201 is known to stabilize mast cells of the human body and down-regulate the pro-inflammatory cytokines to effectuate an anti-inflammatory response.
FV Pharma Inc. ("FV Pharma"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was a licensed producer of cannabis in Canada under the Cannabis Act (Canada) (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Cannabis Regulations"), the "Cannabis Act") and associated Cannabis Regulations. FV Pharma surrendered its cannabis license in September 2020. In March 2020, substantially all the assets of FV Pharma were classified as held for sale (refer to Note 3).
The Company's registered office is located at 1 Rossland Road West, Suite 202, Ajax, Ontario, L1Z 1Z2.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are comprised of the financial results of the Company and its subsidiaries, which are the entities over which FSD has control. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and can affect those returns through its power over the investee.
The Company has the following subsidiaries:
Ownership percentage as at
Entity Name Country March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020

Prismic Pharmaceuticals Inc. USA 100 100

The outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as "COVID-19," has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The extent to which COVID-19 and any other pandemic or public health crisis impacts the Company's business, affairs, operations, financial condition, liquidity, availability of credit and results of operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with any meaningful precision, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 virus and the actions required to contain the COVID-19 virus or remedy its impact, among others. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company and its operating subsidiaries in future periods.
In order to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, the Company implemented a systematic and orderly scale back of FV Pharma's cultivation operations and a furlough policy for its workforce, except for certain personnel working staggered shifts to ensure continuity of operations and licensure effective March 23, 2020. In September 2020, FV Pharma surrendered its licenses and ceased all other operational activities. The Company's clinical trials for the use of FSD-201, its lead compound, to treat suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19 continued to proceed and as a result the impact of COVID-19 did not have a material impact on the continuing operations or financial results of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

2. Basis of presentation
[a] Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("financial statements') were prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as those used in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Accordingly, certain disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") have been omitted or condensed. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
These financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on May 6, 2021.
[b] Functional currency and presentation currency
The financial statements of each company within the consolidated group are measured using their functional currency which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates. The Company changed its functional currency from the Canadian dollar (C$) to the United States dollar (US$) as of October 1, 2020. The change in functional currency was the result of a review of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates and the currency that mainly influences the underlying transactions entered into by the Company. The Company's functional currency is the United States dollar and the functional currencies of its subsidiaries are as follows:
FSD Biosciences United States Dollar
Prismic United States Dollar
FV Pharma Canadian Dollar
The change in presentation currency is a voluntary change which is accounted for retrospectively. The change in presentation currency was made to better reflect the Company's business activities. For comparative reporting purposes, historical financial information has been translated to United States dollar using the exchange rate as at October 1, 2020, which is the date of the change in the functional and presentation currency.
[c] Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of these 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 and liabilities, consistent with those disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and described in these financial statements. 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.

3. Assets Held for Sale
In March 2020, the Company decided to focus its efforts and resources on the pharmaceutical business and has initiated the process to sell its Cobourg facility and exit the medical cannabis industry. The Company expects that the sale of the Cobourg Facility will be completed within the next 12 months and is actively marketing the Facility for sale.
Initially, assets held for sale consisted of the Cobourg facility, all biological assets and inventory on hand, and equipment related to the Cobourg Facility operations (collectively the "Disposal Group"). During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company either sold or recognized impairment losses on biological assets, inventory and equipment. It is anticipated that no liabilities of the Company will be transferred as part of any proposed transaction. Results of operations related to the Cobourg facility are reported as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
In accordance with IFRS 5 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, the assets held for sale were assessed for impairment based on fair value less costs to sell. The fair value was measured using the price at which the Company expects to receive for the disposal group less estimates for the costs of disposal. The fair value less costs to sell was higher than the carrying value of the disposal group resulting in recognition of the resulting group at carrying value.
Assets held for sale as at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consisted of the following:
2021 2020
$ $
Property and plant 8,717,943 8,610,504
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 statement of net 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 statement of financial position. Comparative periods are not restated on the consolidated statement 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. The change in assets held for sale period over period is due to foreign exchange.
Net loss and comprehensive loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 is comprised of the following:
