For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
1. Nature of business
FSD Pharma Inc. ("FSD" or the "Company") is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to building a portfolio of innovative assets and biotech solutions for the treatment of challenging neurodegenerative, inflammatory and metabolic disorders and alcohol misuse disorders with drug candidates in different stages of development. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lucid Psycheceuticals Inc. ("Lucid"), FSD is focused on the research and development of its lead compound, Lucid-MS (formerly Lucid-21-302) ("Lucid-MS"). Lucid-MS is a patented new chemical entity shown to prevent and reverse myelin degradation, the underlying mechanism of multiple sclerosis, in preclinical models. FSD is also focused on the research and development of a treatment for alcohol misuse for application in hospitals and other medical practices. FSD maintains a portfolio of strategic investments through its wholly-owned subsidiary, FSD Strategic Investments Inc., which represent loans secured by residential property.
The Company's registered office is located at 199 Bay Street, Suite 4000, Toronto, Ontario, M5L 1A9. The Company's shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol "HUGE".
On July 31, 2023, the Company entered into an exclusive intellectual property license agreement (the "License Agreement") with Celly Nutrition Corp. ("Celly"). The License Agreement provides Celly access to proprietary information for the purposes of consumer product development and marketing. The License Agreement grants Celly the rights to a proprietary formulation of natural ingredients, vitamins, and minerals to help with liver and brain function for the purposes of potentially quickly relieving from the effects of alcohol consumption, such as inebriation, and restoring normal lifestyle. The License Agreement also grants Celly rights to certain trademarks. In exchange, FSD received 200,000,000 common shares in the capital of Celly following a 2:1 share-split. The Company also received an anti-dilution Warrant Certificate that entitles FSD to purchase up to 25% of the common shares deemed outstanding less the 200,000,000 common shares issued under the License Agreement and from time to time as a result of any partial exercise under the anti-dilution Warrant Certificate. FSD Pharma is also entitled to certain license fees and royalties under the License Agreement. Through the License Agreement, FSD acquired 34.66% of Celly. On July 31, 2023, the Company and Celly entered into a loan agreement for gross proceeds of C$1,000,000. The loan was funded on August 1, 2023, and accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Interest is payable annually and the loan matures on July 31, 2026. In November 2023, through the Plan of Arrangement the Company distributed 45,712,529 of its 200,000,000 shares of Celly to its shareholders. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of Celly as of June 30, 2024, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 [Note 2(c)]. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has a 25.71% (December 31, 2023 - 26.15%) ownership interest in Celly through common shares held in Celly.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.
The Company is in the preliminary stages of its planned operations and has not yet determined whether its processes and business plans are economically viable. The continued operations of the Company and the recoverability of amounts shown for intangible assets are dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain sufficient financing to complete the research and development program of Lucid-MS. As well as fund the research and development of a treatment for alcohol misuse for application in hospitals and other medical practices.
Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
[unaudited] [expressed in United States dollars]
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
As at June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $162,923,451 (December 31, 2023 - $157,908,160) and working capital of $4,977,191 (December 31, 2023 - $6,519,739), and incurred net loss of $5,443,924 (2023 - $15,447,822) for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Whether, and when, the Company can attain profitability and positive cash flows from operations is subject to material uncertainty. The application of the going concern assumption is dependent upon the Company's ability to generate future profitable operations and obtain necessary financing to do so. The Company will need to raise additional capital to fund its planned operations and meet its obligations. While the Company has been successful in obtaining financing to date and believes it will be able to obtain sufficient funds in the future and ultimately achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operations, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve profitability and be able to do so on terms favourable for the Company. The above events and conditions indicate there is a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
These 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:

Non-controlling interests ("NCI") represent ownership interests in consolidated subsidiaries by parties that are not shareholders of the Company. They are shown as a component of total equity in the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position, and the share of income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests is shown as a component of net income (loss) in the condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Changes in the parent company's ownership that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
2. Basis of presentation
[a] Statement of compliance
These 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, 2023. 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, 2023.
These financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company on August 12, 2024.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
[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. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in United States dollars ("USD"), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency for all periods presented. 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
FSD Pharma Australia Pty Ltd Australian Dollar
Celly Nutrition Corp. Canadian Dollar
HUGE Biopharma Australia Pty. Ltd. Australian 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, 2023 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.
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 25.71% of the voting rights as of June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - 26.15%). The Company concluded 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 57.45% (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 June 30, 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 13).

New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted by the Company
IFRS 16 - Leases ("IFRS 16")

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Earlier application is permitted. The amendment did not have a material impact on the 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 financial statements.

9. Warrants Liability
In August 2020, the Company issued 2,762,430 Class B shares and 1,381,215 warrants to purchase Class B shares for total cash proceeds of $9,999,997. Each warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class B share of the Company at an exercise price of $4.26 per share and expire five years from the date of issuance. The fair value of these warrants is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
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.
The fair value of the warrants liability as at June 30, 2024, was $1 (December 31, 2023 - $31,338) resulting in a gain on change in fair value of $31,337 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (2023 - $121,243). The fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions as at:
June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023
Share price $ 0.16 $ 0.92
Exercise price $ 4.26 $ 4.26
Expected dividend yield - -
Risk free interest rate 4.02 3.91 %
Expected life 1.10 1.60
Expected volatility 70 % 66 %
