The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Adastra Holdings Ltd. (formerly Phyto Extractions Inc.) (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia on October 14, 1987. The Company extracts and processes cannabis for sale to the recreational and medical markets in Canada. The Company is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") under the symbol "XTRX". The Company's registered and records office is located at 5451 275th Street, Langley City, British Columbia, V4W 3X8.
On April 9, 2021, the Company consolidated its issued share capital on a ratio of three (3) old common shares for every one (1) new post-consolidated common share. All current and comparative references to the number of common shares, weighted average number of common shares, loss per share, stock options and warrants have been restated to give effect to this share consolidation.
On August 10, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of 1225140 B.C. Ltd., doing business as PerceiveMD ("PerceiveMD") from the shareholders of PerceiveMD, pursuant to the terms of a share purchase agreement dated August 10, 2021 (Note 4).
On September 1, 2021, the Company changed its name to Adastra Holdings Ltd. (formerly Phyto Extractions Inc.). Trading of the Company's common shares resumed under the new name and under the same ticker symbol "XTRX" on the Canadian Securities Exchange as the market opened on September 1, 2021. Prior to this on April 9, 2021, the Company changed its name from Adastra Labs Holdings Ltd. to Phyto Extractions Inc. and on December 19, 2019 from Arrowstar Resources Ltd to Adastra Labs Holdings Ltd.
On September 15, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of privately held 1204581 B.C. Ltd., doing business as Phyto Extractions ("Phyto BrandCo"), the owner of the intellectual property rights for the Phyto Extractions brand (Note 5).
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements ("interim financial statements) are prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue its operations 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 interim financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate positive cash flows from operations, complete additional financings, and/or extend or modify its mortgage payable (Note 14).
As at June 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,732,257 (December 31, 2021 - $1,120,613). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $478,136 and $1,142,450, respectively (2021 - $509,890 and $873,402, respectively). These events and conditions indicate a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these interim financial statements, it could be necessary to restate the Company's assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
(a) Statement of compliance
These interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on August 25, 2022.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). As such, these interim financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and the eight months ended December 31, 2019 ("annual financial statements").
(b) Basis of measurement
These interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for those financial instruments which have been classified at fair value through profit or loss. In addition, except for cash flow information, these interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting.
All amounts on these interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.
(c) Reclassification of prior amounts
The Company has reclassified certain comparative information on the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss and the condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows to conform with current period presentation.
(d) Re-cast of March 2022 financial statements
The March 31, 2022 balances have been re-casted to adjust for wages and salary costs of production that should have been classified as finished goods within inventory as they relate to costs incurred in bringing the inventory to its present location and condition.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
(e) Principles of consolidation
These interim financial statements include the financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation. Control exists where the parent entity has power over the investee and is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. These interim financial statements incorporate the accounts of the Company and the following subsidiaries:
| | Functional currency | | | Ownership percentage | |
Adastra Labs Holdings (2019) Ltd. (formerly Adastra Labs Holdings Ltd.) | | CAD | | | 100% | |
Adastra Labs Inc. | | CAD | | | 100% | |
1178562 B.C. Ltd. | | CAD | | | 100% | |
Adastra Brands Inc. | | CAD | | | 100% | |
Chemia Analytics Inc. | | CAD | | | 100% | |
1225140 B.C. Ltd (PerceiveMD) | | CAD | | | 100% | |
1204581 B.C. Ltd. (Phyto BrandCo) | | CAD | | | 100% | |
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company and are included in the interim financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed where necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Company.
(f) Standards issued but not yet effective
Certain pronouncements have been issued by the IASB or IFRIC that are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The Company has reviewed these updates and determined that many of these updates are not applicable or consequential to the Company and have been excluded from discussion within these significant accounting policies.
NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 3 of the annual financial statements:
Significant estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management continually evaluates these judgments, estimates and assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates and judgments which may cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The Company's interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year. The critical judgements and estimates applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 3 of the annual financial statements.
NOTE 4 - ACQUISITION OF PERCEIVEMD
On August 10, 2021, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of PerceiveMD. At closing, the Company issued 2,513,720 common shares to the former shareholders of PerceiveMD at a share price on the date of acquisition of $0.80 per share for $2,010,976 and $10,000 in cash, for total consideration of $2,020,976.
NOTE 4 - ACQUISITION OF PERCEIVEMD (continued)
PerceiveMD is a multidisciplinary, patient-focused center providing comprehensive assessments for medical cannabis and other therapies. The acquisition will allow the Company to generate revenue from providing cannabis under medical prescriptions.
The transaction was accounted for as a business combination under IFRS 3 - Business Combinations. The allocation of the purchase consideration is as follows:
Assets acquired: | | $ | |
Cash | | 26,302 | |
Accounts receivable | | 13,647 | |
Corporate taxes receivable | | 26,000 | |
| | 65,949 | |
Liabilities assumed: | | | |
Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities | | (19,206 | ) |
Fair value of net assets acquired | | 46,743 | |
| | | |
Purchase consideration | | | |
Share consideration | | 2,010,976 | |
Cash consideration | | 10,000 | |
| | 2,020,976 | |
Identifiable intangible asset: | | | |
Patient relationships | | 414,000 | |
| | | |
Deferred tax liability | | (112,000 | ) |
Goodwill | | 1,672,233 | |
The carrying value of the assets and liabilities acquired equates to fair value due to their short-term nature, other than patient relationships (the "Patient Relationships") which are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives.
The intangible assets are comprised of Patient Relationships with a fair value of $414,000. The fair value of the Patient Relationships was determined using the discounted cash flow method taking into account the future cashflows expected to be received from the current list of patients, adjusted to reflect attrition. The key assumptions used in the cash flow projection related to the Patient Relationships include: (1) a discount rate of 16%; (2) patient attrition rate of 20.00%; (3) number of patients of 3,492 at the acquisition date; (4) annual spending of $143 per patient, assumed to grow at a long-term growth rate of 2% per year.
The goodwill generated as a result of this acquisition relates to other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition.
The Company's acquisition of PerceiveMD constituted a related party transaction as Michael Forbes, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company was also a director and controlling shareholder of PerceiveMD.
NOTE 5 - ACQUISITION OF PHYTO BRANDCO
On September 15, 2021, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Phyto BrandCo, the owner of the intellectual property rights for the Phyto Extractions brand consisting of 21 registered trademarks. At closing, the Company issued 20,000,000 common shares to the former shareholders of Phyto BrandCo at a share price on the date of acquisition of $1.20 per share, for total consideration of $24,000,000.
Subsequent to the closing of the acquisition, the Company renegotiated the terms of the acquisition with the former shareholders of Phyto BrandCo due to certain conditions in the acquisition agreement not being met. It was resolved that the consideration be amended from $24,000,000 to $12,000,000 by a voluntary return to treasury of 10,000,000 common shares. As a result, the revised consideration is 10,000,000 common shares at a share price on the date of acquisition of $1.20 per share, for total consideration of $12,000,000.

The Company defines capital as the components of shareholders' equity. The Company's objectives when managing capital are to support further advancement of the Company's business objectives, as well as to ensure that the Company is able to meet its financial obligations as they come due.
The Company manages its capital structure to maximize its financial flexibility making adjustments to it in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and business opportunities. The Company relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain the future development of the business. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
NOTE 18 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
(b) Financial instruments - fair value
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, trade receivables, deposits, accounts payable, mortgage payable, and government loan. The Company's financial instruments are classified and measured at amortized cost, with the exception of cash which is classified and measured at fair value through profit and loss.
As at June 30, 2022, the carrying values of trade receivables and accounts payable approximated their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Financial instruments measured at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position are summarized into the following fair value hierarchy levels:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) 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 (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
(c) Financial instruments - risk
The Company's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to fulfill its contractual obligations.
The Company is exposed to credit risk through its cash balances held in financial institutions and trade receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of such financial assets.
The objective of managing credit risk is to minimize potential losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the quality of its counterparties, taking into account their credit worthiness and reputation, past performance and other factors. The Company has recognized a provision for expected credit losses on its trade receivables.
Cash is only deposited with or held by major financial institutions where the Company conducts its business.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by reviewing on an ongoing basis its cash position and if required raises funding through additional share capital issuances or debt financing.
As at June 30, 2022, the Company had a cash balance of $380,404 and current liabilities of $6,821,652 (December 31, 2021 - $744,541 and $5,341,267 respectively).
NOTE 18 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Company's mortgage payable and lease liability carry fixed interest rates and as such, the Company is not exposed to interest rate risk.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk derives from fluctuations in exchange rates between currencies when transacting in multiple currencies. The Company's business is substantially all conducted in Canadian dollars, so it is not subject to significant foreign currency risk.
Economic dependence
Economic dependence risk is the risk of reliance upon a select number of customers which significantly impact the financial performance of the Company. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, two customers represented approximately 91% and 92% of the Company's revenue (2021 - two customers representing 74% and 26% of the Company's revenue).
