Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
(expressed in United States dollars)
September 30, 2022 and 2021
1. Nature of business
FSD Pharma Inc. ("FSD" or the "Company") is a biotechnology company with three drug candidates in different stages of development. FSD Biosciences Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, is focused on pharmaceutical research and development ("R&D") of its lead compound, ultra-micronized palmitoylethanolamide ("PEA") or FSD-PEA (also known as FSD-201). Through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Lucid Psycheceuticals Inc. ("Lucid"), the Company is also focused on the research and development of its lead compounds, Lucid-PSYCH (also known as Lucid-201) and Lucid-MS (also known as Lucid-21-302). PEA, the active substance in FSD-PEA, interacts with the endocannabinoid system in the body and exhibits anti-inflammatory activities. Lucid PSYCH is a molecular compound identified for the potential treatment of mental health disorders. Lucid-MS is a molecular compound identified for the potential treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
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 July 2020 and suspended all activities in September 2020. In March 2020, the Company decided to focus its efforts and resources on the pharmaceutical business and initiated the process to exit the medical cannabis industry and sell FV Pharma's facility located at 520 William Street, Cobourg, Ontario, K9A 3A5 (the "Facility") and the 64-acre property on which the Facility is located (the "Facility Property"). On May 6, 2022, the Company closed the sale of the Facility and the Facility Property (refer to Note 3).
On May 13, 2022, FSD Strategic Investments Inc. ("FSD Strategic Investments"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was incorporated. FSD Strategic Investments is focused on generating returns and cashflow through the issuance of loans secured by residential or commercial property, with FSD Strategic Investments having a first collateral mortgage on the secured property.
The Company's registered office is located at 199 Bay Street, Suite 4000, Toronto, Ontario, M5L 1A9.
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 the Company 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:

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
(expressed in United States dollars)
September 30, 2022 and 2021
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") 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 disruption to certain business globally; as a result, there could be a possibility of recession in the near future. While the impact of COVID-19 on the Company has been minimal to date, there is uncertainty around its duration and future business conditions. If the outbreak were to cause disruption to the Company's supply chain or its service capabilities in the future, it would have a negative impact on operations, which could be material. In addition, any material negative impact on operations would impact profitability, as well as liquidity and capital resources.
The impact of COVID-19 did not have a material impact on the continuing operations or financial results of the Company for the period ended September 30, 2022.
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, 2021. 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, 2021.
These financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 10, 2022.
[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's functional currency is the United States dollar and the functional currencies of its subsidiaries are as follows:
FSD Biosciences Inc. United States Dollar
Prismic Pharmaceuticals Inc. United States Dollar
FV Pharma Inc. Canadian Dollar
Lucid Psycheceuticals Inc. Canadian Dollar
FSD Strategic Investments Inc. Canadian Dollar
[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, 2021 and described in these financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
FSD PHARMA INC.
Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
(expressed in United States dollars)
September 30, 2022 and 2021
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.
New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted by the Company
IAS 1, Presentation of financial statements ("IAS 1")
In January 2020, the IASB issued Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1). The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the consolidated statements of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non-current. The amendments include clarifying the classification requirements for debt a company might settle by converting it into equity.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with earlier application permitted. In July 2020, the effective date was deferred to January 1, 2024. The Company is still assessing the impact of adopting these amendments on its financial statements.
IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors ("IAS 8")
In February 2021, the IASB issued Definition of Accounting Estimates, which amends IAS 8. The amendment will require the disclosure of material accounting policy information rather than disclosing significant accounting policies and clarifies how to distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty". The amendment provides clarification to help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company is still assessing the impact of adopting these amendments on its financial statements.
IAS 12, Income Taxes ("IAS 12")
In May 2021, the IASB issued Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a single transaction (Amendments to IAS 12). The amendment narrows the scope of the initial recognition exemption so that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. As a result, companies will need to recognize a deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability for temporary differences arising on initial recognition of transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and are to be applied retrospectively. The Company is still assessing the impact of adopting these amendments on its 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.
Summary of significant accounting policies adopted in the period
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash held at financial institutions and short-term investments in highly liquid marketable securities, having a term to maturity of three months or less.
3. Assets held for sale
In March 2020, the Company decided to focus its efforts and resources on the pharmaceutical business and initiated the process to exit the medical cannabis industry and the Facility the Facility Property. On May 6, 2022, the Company closed the sale of the Facility and the Facility Property for total consideration of $12,730,942 (C$16,400,000). The Company recognized a gain of $4,249,582 on the sale of the Facility and the Facility Property and incurred selling expenses of $616,002.
