(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. Corporate information
FSD Pharma Inc. ("FSD" or the "Company") was formed under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "OBCA") on November 1 1998 pursuant to the amalgamation of Olympic ROM World Inc., 1305206 Ontario Corporation, 1305207 Ontario Inc., Century Financial Capital Group Inc. and Dunberry Graphic Associates Ltd. On May 24 2018 pursuant to the Articles of Amendment, the Company changed its name to "FSD Pharma Inc.". The head office of the Company is located at 1 Rossland Road West, Suite 202, Ajax, Ontario, L1Z 1Z2.
Currently, the Class B Subordinate Voting Shares of the Company ("Class B shares") are posted for trading in Canada on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the trading symbol "HUGE", in the United States of America on the OTCQB under the trading symbol "FSDDF", and on the Frankfurt Exchange under the “WKN: A2JM6M” and the ticker symbol “0K9".
Prior to August 2016, the Company was engaged in in the leasing of various kinds of operating and manufacturing equipment such as industrial and construction machinery. All leases have since been written off and the Company was inactive until March 9 2018 when the Company entered into agreements to acquire FV Pharma Inc. ("FV Pharma"), which was completed on May 24 2018. The acquisition of FV Pharma constituted a change of business for the Company (see note 4 – "Acquisition of FV Pharma" below). FV Pharma now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
FV Pharma is in the business of the production and sale of medical cannabis in accordance with Health Canada’s Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulation (the “ACMPR”), issued pursuant to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (Canada).
FV Pharma received its license under section 22(2) of the ACMPR on October 13 2017. The license effectively permits FV Pharma to acquire marijuana plants and/or seeds for the purpose of initiating plant growth and for conducting analytical testing within the confines of its facility located at 520 William Street, Cobourg, Ontario.
The license does not permit FV Pharma to sell medical cannabis. In order to proceed with the sale of medical cannabis, FV Pharma will first have to obtain an amendment to its license from Health Canada. The granting of such an amendment is dependent upon FV Pharma demonstrating compliance with the quality control standards and the good production practices as established under subdivision D of the ACMPR, as well as Health Canada completing an inspection with respect to record-keeping, security measures, packaging, labelling, shipping, and other requirements prescribed by the ACMPR. Health Canada may then issue an extended license which would allow FV Pharma to sell or provide fresh or dried marijuana or cannabis oil to patients of FV Pharma, or such other persons who are permitted to purchase cannabis products under subsection 22(2) of the ACMPR.
On June 21 2018, Bill C-45 (the Cannabis Act) formally received Royal Assent in Canada’s Parliament. The bill officially became law on October 17 2018 when retail sales began. The law effectively signals the end of 95 years of prohibition on the sale and consumer use of cannabis in Canada, a historic moment for Canadians and the cannabis sector. Canada is the first G7 country to legalize the adult consumer use of cannabis.
2. Basis of preparation and summary of significant accounting policies
These interim consolidated financial statements (the "financial statements") are unaudited and have been prepared on a condensed basis in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), using accounting policies of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements required by IFRS as issued by IASB and interpretations issued by IFRIC. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on accounting policies as described in the 2017 annual consolidated financial statements except that, effective January 1, 2018, the Company implemented IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”) and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”).

Note 3 disclose IFRS 9 information for the period that is important to form an understanding of these consolidated interim financial statements.
As the acquisition of FV Pharma was treated as a reverse takeover (see note 4 – "Acquisition of FV Pharma Inc.") and that FV Pharma was not a reporting issuer prior to the acquisition date, prior period information has not been prepared on a basis consistent with the most recent interim information.
These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company's functional currency.
The financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 28 2018.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment of complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 3.
Going concern of operations
The Company is in the preliminary stages and has not yet determined whether its processes are economically viable. The continued operations of the Company and the recoverability of amounts shown for property and equipment assets is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain financing to complete the development of its extraction processes, and if they are proven successful, the existence of future profitable production, or alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interest on an advantageous basis, all of which are uncertain.
The amount shown for property and plant equipment does not necessarily represent its present or future value. Changes in future conditions could require a material change in the amount recorded for property and plant equipment. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to 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 business. Although the Company has a positive working capital position as at September 30 2018, it will need to raise additional capital in the near term to fund its ongoing operations and business activities. As a result of these circumstances, there are material uncertainties which cast significant doubt as to the appropriateness of the going concern presumption. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and classifications in the statement of financial position that may be necessary were the Company unable to continue as a going concern and these adjustments could be material.
Basis of measurement
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, with the exception of financial instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured at fair value. In addition, these condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.
These financial statements include estimates that, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
3. Summary of significant accounting policies
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and other short- term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. For cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes bank overdrafts.
Property, plant and equipment
On initial recognition, property, plant and equipment are valued at cost, being the purchase price and directly attributable cost of acquisition or construction required to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Company, including appropriate borrowing costs and the estimated present value of any future unavoidable costs of dismantling and removing items. The corresponding liability is recognized within provisions.
Property, plant and equipment is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, less any accumulated impairment losses, with the exception of land which is not depreciated.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
The cost of replacing part of an item of property and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the statements of comprehensive loss as incurred.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statements of comprehensive loss during the financial period in which they occurred.
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount, and are recognized net within other income in the statements of comprehensive loss.

Depreciation is recognized in the statements of comprehensive loss and is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets is provided as follows:
Computer equipment | 30% declining balance |
Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 20% declining balance. |
Facility under development | Not amortized |
Land | Not amortized. |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted, if appropriate.
Restoration, rehabilitation and environmental obligations
A legal or constructive obligation to incur restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs may arise when environmental disturbance is caused by the development or ongoing production of an interest. Such costs arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work, discounted to their net present value, are provided for and capitalized at the start of each project to the carrying amount of the asset, as soon as the obligation to incur such costs arises. Discount rates using a pretax rate that reflects the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value. These costs are charged against profit or loss over the economic life of the related asset, through amortization using either a unit-of-production or the straight-line method as appropriate. The related liability is adjusted for each period for the unwinding of the discount rate and for changes to the current market based discount rate, amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation. Costs for restoration of subsequent site damage that is created on an ongoing basis during production are provided for at their net present values and charged against profits as extraction progresses.
The Company has no material restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs as the disturbance to date is minimal.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Impairment tests on intangible assets with indefinite useful economic lives are undertaken annually at the financial year-end. Other non-financial assets are subject to impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell, the asset is written down accordingly.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the impairment test is carried out on the asset's cash-generating unit, which is the lowest group of assets in which the asset belongs for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. The Company has one cash-generating unit for which impairment testing is performed.
An impairment loss is charged to the profit or loss, except to the extent they reverse gains previously recognized in other comprehensive loss/income.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount that have arisen as a result of past transactions, including legal or constructive obligations. The provision is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.

Income taxes
Income tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in net income except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss/income.
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.
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.
Share capital
Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company's common shares and share purchase warrants are classified as equity instruments.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Earnings/loss per share
Basic earnings/loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss applicable to common shares of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the relevant period.
Diluted earnings/loss per common share is computed by dividing the net income or loss applicable to common shares by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding, if potentially dilutive instruments were converted.
Share based payments
The fair value of equity-settled share options granted to employees is recognized as an expense over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee, including directors of the Company.
The fair value is measured at the grant date and is recognized over the period during which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that are expected to vest.

Fair value hierarchy
The following summarizes the methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the Company's financial instruments where measurement is required. The fair value of cash and other receivables approximates their carrying amounts due to the relatively short period to maturity. Fair value amounts represent point-in-time estimates and may not reflect fair value in the future. The measurements are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and are a matter of judgment. The methods and assumptions used to develop fair value measurements, for those financial instruments where fair value is recognized in the statement of financial position, have been prioritized into three levels as per the fair value hierarchy.
Level one includes quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level two includes inputs that are observable other than quoted prices included in level one. Level three includes inputs that are not based on observable market data. Unless otherwise noted, all financial instruments are level one.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Effective January 1 2018, the Company has adopted the following new and revised standards, along with any consequential amendments. These changes were made in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions.
(a) IFRS 2, Share-based Payment (“IFRS 2”) - In June 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2, which expands upon the guidance for recognizing a liability for cash-settlement of a share-based payment as well as transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Earlier application is permitted. The adoption of this standard has had no effect on the Company's financial reporting.
(b) IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”), was issued in May 2015, which replaced IAS 11, Construction Contracts, IAS 18, Revenue Recognition, IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18, Transfers of Assets from Customers, and SIC-31, Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. IFRS 15 provides a single, principles based five step model that will apply to all contracts with customers with limited exceptions. In addition to the five-step model, the standard specifies how to account for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract must be recognized as an
asset if the entity expects to recover these costs. The standard’s requirements will also apply to the recognition and measurement of gains and losses on the sale of some non-financial assets that are not an output of the entity’s ordinary activities. IFRS 15 is required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard has had no effect on the Company's financial reporting.
(c) IFRS 9 addresses classification and measurement of financial assets and replaces the multiple category and measurement models in IAS 39 for debt instruments with a new mixed measurement model having only two categories; amortized cost and fair value through profit or loss. IFRS 9 also replaces the models for measuring equity instruments and such instruments are either recognized at fair value through profit or loss or fair value through other comprehensive income. The effective date of this standard was January 1, 2018. The Company has adopted this new standard as of its effective date on a modified retrospective basis. The 2017 comparatives were not restated.

(i) Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”)
This category only includes equity instruments, which the Company intends to hold for the foreseeable future and which the Company has irrevocably elected to so classify upon initial recognition or transition. The Company classified its investment as an equity instrument at FVTOCI. Equity instruments in this category are subsequently measured at fair value with changes recognized at other comprehensive income, with no recycling of gains or losses to profit or loss upon derecognition. Equity instruments at FVTOCI are not subject to an impairment assessment under IFRS 9.
(ii) Amortized cost
This category includes financial assets that are held within a business model with the objective to hold the financial assets in order to collect the contractual cash flows that meet the solely principal and interest (“SPPI”) criterion. Financial assets classified in this category are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
(iii) Fair value through profit or loss
This category includes derivative instruments and equity instruments which the Company has not irrevocably elected, at initial recognition or transition, to classify as FVTOCI. This category would also include debt instruments whose cash flow characteristics fail the SPPI criterion or are not held within a business model whose objective is either to collect contractual cash flows, or to both collect contractual cash flows and sell. Financial assets in this category are recorded at fair value with changes recognized in profit or loss. The assessment of the Company’s business models was made as of the date of the initial application, January 1, 2018, and then applied retrospectively to those financial assets that were not derecognized before January 1, 2018.
The Company has made the following classifications with respect to its financial instruments:
• Cash and other investments are classified as FVTPL, which is measured at fair value.
• Trade payables are classified as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. A financial asset is considered impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the discounted estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have been impacted.
(iv) Impairment of financial assets
The adoption of IFRS 9 has fundamentally changed the Company’s accounting of impairment losses for financial assets by replacing IFRS 39’s incurred loss approach with a forward-looking expected credit loss (“ECL”) approach. IFRS 9 requires the Company to record an allowance for ECLs for all debt financial assets not held at fair value though profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive. The shortfall is then discounted at an approximation of the asset’s original effective interest rate.
(v) Inventory
Inventories of products for resale and supplies and consumables are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost determined using the average cost basis.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
(vi) Interests in equity-accounted investees and joint ventures
The Company’s interest in equity accounted investees is comprised of its interest in a joint venture.
In accordance with IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements; a joint venture is an arrangement in which the Company has joint control, whereby the Company has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities.
Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28. They are recognized initially at cost, which includes transaction costs. After initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income (“OCI”) of equity accounted investees until the date on which significant influence or joint control ceases. Unrealized gains and losses on transactions between the Company and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in those entities. Where unrealized losses are eliminated, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment.
3.2 Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Applied
IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”) sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, the customer (‘lessee’) and the supplier (‘lessor'). This standard will replace IAS 17 Leases (“IAS 17”) and related Interpretations. IFRS 16 provides revised guidance on identifying a lease and for separating lease and non-lease components of a contract. IFRS 16 introduces a single accounting model for all lessees and requires a lessee to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value, and depreciate lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the consolidated statement of operations. IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier application permitted for entities that apply IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company’s contractual obligations in the form of operating leases under IAS 17 will then be reflected on the balance sheet resulting in an increase to both assets and liabilities upon adoption of IFRS 16, and changes to the timing of recognition of expenses associated with the lease arrangements. The Company has not yet analyzed the new standard to determine its impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position and consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
3.3 IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
(i) Impact of adoption
The Company adopted all of the requirements of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) as of January 1, 2018. IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 utilizes a revised model for recognition and measurement of financial instruments and a single, forward-looking “expected loss” impairment model. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward in IFRS 9, such that the Company’s accounting policy with respect to financial liabilities is unchanged.
As permitted by the transition provisions of IFRS 9, the Company elected not to restate comparative period results, therefore all comparative period information is presented in accordance with our previous accounting policies. Adjustments to the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, at the date of initial application have been recognized in opening retained earnings and other components of equity for the current period. New or amended interim disclosures have been provided for the current period, where applicable, while comparative period disclosures are consistent with those made in prior periods.

September 30, 2018 and 2017
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Further as a result of adoption of IFRS 9, management has not changed its accounting policy for financial assets except for the adoption of the simplified approach to determining expected credit losses for receivables, which had no impact on the carrying value of any financial assets on the transition date.
(ii) Accounting policy
The following is the Company’s new accounting policy for financial instruments under IFRS 9.
(a) Classification and measurement of financial assets
Financial assets are measured at initial recognition at fair value, and are classified and subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) or amortized cost (“AMC”), based on the business model for managing the financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument.
(b) Debt instruments
On initial recognition, all debt instruments, are classified based on:
• The business model under which the asset is held; and
• The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial instrument.
Business model assessment
Business model assessment involves determining whether financial assets are held and managed by the Company for generating and collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets or both. The Company assesses the business model at a portfolio level using judgment and is supported by relevant objective evidence including:
• how the performance of the asset is evaluated and reported to the Company’s management;
• the frequency, volume, reason and timing of sales in prior periods and expectations about future sales activity;
• whether the assets are held for trading purposes i.e., assets that are acquired by the Company principally for the purpose of selling or repurchase in the near term, or held as part of a portfolio that is managed together for short-term profits; and
• the risks that affect the performance of assets held within a business model and how those risks are managed.
Cash flow characteristics assessment
The contractual cash flow characteristics assessment involves assessing the contractual features of an instrument to determine if they give rise to cash flows that are consistent with a basic lending arrangement, i.e. if they represent cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”).
Principal is defined as the fair value of the instrument at initial recognition. Principal may change over the life of the instruments due to repayments. Interest is defined as consideration for the time value of money and the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding and for other basic lending risks and costs (liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are SPPI, the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains any contractual terms that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that the financial asset would not meet the SPPI criteria. In making the assessment the Company considers:
FSD PHARMA INC.
(formerly Century Financial Capital Group Inc.)
Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited)
September 30, 2018 and 2017
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
• contingent events that would change the amount and/or timing of cash flows;
• leverage features;
• prepayment and extension terms;
• associated penalties relating to prepayments;
• terms that limit the Company’s claim to cash flows from specified assets; and
• features that modify consideration of the time value of money.
Debt instruments measured at AMC
Debt instruments are measured at AMC using the effective interest rate, if they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial asset for collecting contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent SPPI. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. AMC is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition, transaction costs and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Amortization of these deferred costs is included in Interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
Impairment on debt instruments measured at AMC is calculated using the expected credit loss approach. Loans and debt securities measured at amortized cost are presented net of the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
There are no debt instruments measured at FVTOCI or at FVTPL as of and during the period ended September 30, 2018.
(iii) Equity instruments
Equity instruments are measured at FVTPL, unless they are not held for trading purposes and an irrevocable election is made to designate these instruments at FVOCI upon initial recognition. The measurement election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Changes in fair value are recognized as part of Investments income in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for equity instruments measured as at FVTPL. The Company has elected to measure certain equity investments at FVOCI that are held for longer term investment purposes. These instruments are measured at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, with transaction costs being added to the cost of the instrument. Dividends received that represent return on capital, are recorded in Investments income in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). Unrealized fair value gains/losses are recognized in OCI and are not subsequently reclassified to the Consolidated Statements of Income when the instrument is derecognized or sold.
(iv) Financial assets and liabilities designated at FVTPL
Financial assets and financial liabilities classified in this category are those that have been designated by the Company on initial recognition. Financial assets are designated at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch which would otherwise arise.
Financial liabilities are designated at FVTPL when one of the following criteria is met:
• The designation eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch which would otherwise arise; or
FSD PHARMA INC.
(formerly Century Financial Capital Group Inc.)
Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited)
September 30, 2018 and 2017
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
• The financial liability contains one or more embedded derivatives which significantly modify the cash flows otherwise required.
Financial assets and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at fair value. For assets designated at FVTPL, changes in fair values are recognized in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). For liabilities designated at FVPTL, all changes in fair value are recognized in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), except for changes in fair value arising from changes in the Company’s own credit risk are recognized in OCI and are not subsequently reclassified to the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) upon derecognition /extinguishment of the liabilities.
The classification of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities is disclosed in note 3.4
(c) Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost
For receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which requires the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all receivables based on the Company’s historical default rates over the expected life of the receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates.
(d) Derecognition
(i) Financial assets
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are recognized in the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).
(ii) Financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled or expired. Generally, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
3.4 Reconciliation of IAS 39 to IFRS 9
On adoption of IFRS 9, the Company has assessed all its financial assets and liabilities based on the business model and solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”) tests. This has resulted in the re-classification and re-measurement of certain financial assets and liabilities as at January 1 2018, which are summarized in the table below:

4. Acquisition of FV Pharma Inc.
The Company executed a definitive business combination agreement on March 9 2018 with FV Pharma (the "Definitive Agreement"), whereby FV Pharma would be combined with the Company to continue the business of FV Pharma as a medical cannabis producer.
Under the terms of the Definitive Agreement, the Transaction was completed by way of a "three-cornered amalgamation" pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), whereby 2620756 Ontario Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company amalgamated with FV Pharma (the "Amalgamation"), and the amalgamated entity is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of the Definitive Agreement and in connection with the Amalgamation:
• the Company amended its articles to: (i) amend and designate its outstanding common shares (the "Existing Century Shares") as Class B subordinate voting shares (the "Century Class B Shares"); and (ii) create a new class of Class A multiple voting shares (the "Century Class A Shares");
• holders of outstanding Class A common voting shares of FV Pharma (the "FV Class A Shares") received one (1) Century Class A Share for each one (1) FV Class A Share held;
• holders of outstanding Class B common non-voting shares of FV Pharma (the "FV Class B Shares" and, together with the FV Class A Shares, the "FV Shares"), including FV Class B Shares issued on conversion of the Subscription Receipts, received one (1) Century Class B Share for each one (1) FV Class B Share held; and
• all outstanding options to purchase FV Shares and options to purchase Existing Century Shares were exchanged, on an equivalent basis, for options to purchase Century Class B Shares, and all outstanding warrants to purchase FV Class B Shares and warrants to purchase Existing Century Shares were exchanged, on an equivalent basis, for warrants to purchase Century Class B Shares.
The Definitive Agreement included a number of conditions common to transactions of this type, all of which were satisfied.
As a result of obtaining 100% of the shares of FV Pharma, the Company has accounted for this transaction by the purchase method of accounting known as a "reverse takeover" as the issuance of shares to the former shareholders of FV Pharma resulted in the former shareholders of FV Pharma holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Under this method of accounting, FV Pharma (the legal subsidiary) is deemed to the acquirer and the Company (the legal parent) is deemed to be the acquired company. The acquisition was negotiated and completed at arm’s length.

5. Critical accounting estimates and judgments
Significant assumptions about the future that management has made that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:
(i) the recoverability of accounts receivable that are included in the statement of financial position;
(ii) the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities on an annual basis;
(iii) the estimated useful lives and residual value of property and equipment which are included in the financial statements and the related depreciation included in profit or loss;
(iv) the inputs used in accounting for share based payment transactions and in valuation of warrants included in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; and
(v) management's judgment in determining the functional currency of the Company as Canadian Dollars.
Critical accounting judgments
Income taxes and recovery of deferred tax assets
The measurement of income taxes payable and deferred income tax assets and liabilities requires management to make judgments in the interpretation and application of the relevant tax laws. The actual amount of income taxes only becomes final upon filing and acceptance of the tax return by the relevant authorities, which occurs subsequent to the issuance of the financial statements.
Restoration, rehabilitation and environmental obligations
Management's assumption of no material restoration, rehabilitation and environmental exposure, is based on the facts and circumstances that existed in the current and prior periods.

6. Financial instruments and risk exposures
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, other investments and , trade payables
The fair value measurement of assets and liabilities recognized on the statement of financial position are categorized into levels within a fair value hierarchy based on the nature of valuation inputs.
The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Financial assets and financial liabilities were as follows:
Assets/(liabilities) at | Assets/(liabiliti | |||||||||||
Other | fair value through | es) at fair value | ||||||||||
liabilities | profit/loss | through other | Total | |||||||||

Trade payables | 286,835 | - | - | 286,835 |
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk. Risk management is carried out by the Company’s management with guidance from the Audit Committee. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk, currency or market risks arising from the financial instruments.
Commodity price risk
The Company is not exposed to any material commodity price risk.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company believes the sensitivity to a plus or minus 1% change in interest rates would not have a significant impact on the reported net loss for the period ended September 30 2018.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due, or can only do so at excessive cost. The Company does not yet generate revenues from its principal marijuana operations and has been generating cash flows primarily from financing activities for the periods ended September 30 2018 and December 31 2017.

Trade payables | 1,265,996 | - | - | 1,265,996 |
There have been no changes to the Company's liquidity risk management policies since December 31 2017. See note 2 for discussion of going concern risk.
Considering the available liquidity as at September 30 2018, the expected burn rates from operations and future commitments, the Company's exposure to liquidity risk as at September 30 2018 is considered high. The Company expects to address this risk by raising funds through external financing as needed.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. All of the Company's cash is deposited with a highly-rated financial institution, and accordingly, management considers credit risk to be low. There have been no changes to the Company's credit risk management policies since December 31 2017.
The Company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.
The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is presented below. All receivables are current and are due within 30 days.

9. Property, plant and equipment
On November 9 2017 the Company purchased a 620,000 square foot indoor plant which comprises its licensed facility at 520 William Street, Cobourg, Ontario for $5,500,000. The facility was acquired for the purpose of producing medical cannabis pursuant to its cultivation license under the ACMPR. Construction is still required to prepare the facility for additional production capacity. There are no components of the facility which were completed or available for use as at December 31 2017 and therefore no amortization has been recorded.
A continuity of property, plant, and equipment for the period ended September 30 2018 and for the year ended December 31 2017 is as follows:

The expected price volatilities were based on the average historic volatility of three similar companies, the historical price data for the Company is insufficient (based on the remaining life of the stock and compensation options), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.
Options granted are accounted for by the fair value method of accounting for share-based payments. The Company records share-based payments expense over the vesting period and credits reserves for all options granted.
The expected volatility is based on management's estimate of the volatility in the Company's share price over the life of the options. The Company has not paid any cash dividends historically and does not have any plans to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of Canadian benchmark bonds with an equivalent term to maturity. The expected life of the options is based on management's estimate of the time that the options will be outstanding.
