Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the period ended February 28, 2019
(unaudited)
1. | Organization and Nature of Operations |
Gala Pharmaceutical Inc. (the “Company” or “GPI”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 10, 2010. The Company provides Testing or Analytical Chemistry tools for chemical, plant, soil, and liquid composition analysis. GPI provides analysis of compositional traits for hemp and cannabis products (cannabinoid, terpenes, pesticides, residual solvents and microbial). The analysis is being done at certified labs with persistent results.
The Company also provides genetic “fingerprinting” and “sequencing” of various crop species. This fingerprinting allows for storing genetic fingerprint information into a proprietary database. Customers can access genetic fingerprint data which can be used for predictive breeding applications and for protecting intellectual property (IP). Additionally, the Company can develop new genetics by using state of the art breeding technology and provides tissue culture and cloning services. These clones are guaranteed to be disease free, chemical free and healthy and robust.
Additionally, the Company provides consulting on testing and manufacturing lab designs and SOPs. The Company provides services to customers for building turnkey labs, drug formulations and troubleshooting. It has highly qualified professionals to bring productivity and efficiency within your current resources.
Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at February 28, 2019, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,389,598 and an accumulated deficit of $5,654,618. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
a) | Basis of Presentation |
These consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is November 30.
b) | Principles of Consolidation |
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries: 51% ownership of Gala Pharmaceutical (California), Inc. (“Gala California”) from February 7, 2018 (date of incorporation) to current date, and 100% ownership of Cannabis Ventures Inc (USA), Cannabis Ventures Inc. (Canada), and CBD Life, Inc. until the sale of these subsidiaries on June 20, 2018. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation and the proportionate net income/loss on the 49% non-controlling interest has been deducted from the Company’s net loss on the consolidated statement of operations commencing with a corresponding entry within stockholders’ deficit.

(c) | Interim Financial Statements |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. Operating results for the three months ended February 28, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended November 30, 2019. For more complete financial information, these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2018 included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
(d) | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of inventory, valuation of derivative liability and share-based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
(e) | Financial Instruments |
Pursuant to ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

(e) | Financial Instruments (continued) |
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities – related parties, loans payable, loans payable – related parties, convertible debt, derivative liabilities, and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
The following table represents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized in fair value as of February 28, 2019, on a recurring basis:
Level 1 $ | Level 2 $ | Level 3 $ | Total gains and (losses) | |||||||||||||

Total | 41,800 | – | (463,804 | ) | (287,861 | ) |
(f) | Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share |
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260,Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. No potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments were issued and outstanding during the periods ended February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018. As at February 28, 2019, the Company had 60,532,565 (November 30, 2018 – 12,254,104) potentially issuable shares from outstanding convertible notes and share purchase warrants.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(continued) |
(g) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance to improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures by removing or modifying certain disclosure requirements and adding other requirements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Certain amendments should be applied prospectively, while all other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.
In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance that permits the Company to reclassify disproportionate tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 to retained earnings. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11 which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. The new standard will reduce income statement volatility for companies that issue warrants and convertible instruments containing such features. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.
In June 2016, the FASB issued a new credit loss standard that replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP. The new impairment model requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets and certain other instruments. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 is permitted. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first effective reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.
In February 2016, the FASB issued new lease accounting guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”. This new guidance was initiated as a joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board to simplify lease accounting and improve the quality of and comparability of financial information for users. This new guidance would eliminate the concept of off-balance sheet treatment for “operating leases” for lessees for the vast majority of lease contracts. Under ASU No. 2016-02, at inception, a lessee must classify all leases with a term of over one year as either finance or operating, with both classifications resulting in the recognition of a defined “right-of-use” asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. However, recognition in the income statement will differ depending on the lease classification, with finance leases recognizing the amortization of the right-of-use asset separate from the interest on the lease liability and operating leases recognizing a single total lease expense. Lessor accounting under ASU No. 2016-02 would be substantially unchanged from the previous lease requirements under GAAP. ASU No. 2016-02 will take effect for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has not determined the impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(continued) |
(g) | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements |
In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. With respect to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the most significant impact relates to the accounting for equity investments (other than those that are consolidated or accounted under the equity method) which will be measured at fair value through earnings. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted only for certain provisions. The amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, with other amendments related specifically to equity securities without readily determinable fair values applied prospectively. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
3. | Deferred Compensation |
Deferred compensation is comprised of common shares issued to officers and directors of the Company for compensation services. During the three months ended February 28 2019, the Company recorded $42,535 (February 28, 2018 - $120,822) of compensation expense and the remaining $74,486 (November 30, 2018 - $117,021) was recorded as deferred compensation within shareholders’ equity.

During the three months ended February 28, 2019, the Company recorded $2,723 (February 28, 2018 - $2,730) of depreciation expense.
5. | Convertible Debentures |
(a) | On May 15, 2017, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement with a non-related party for proceeds of $280,000, net of an original issuance discount and legal fees of $30,000 which were capitalized and amortized over the period of the convertible debenture. The promissory note is unsecured, bears interest at 10% per annum, and was due on November 30, 2017. The promissory note is convertible into common shares at the lesser of: (a) $0.35; or (b) 65% of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares in the 20 days preceding the notice of conversion. |

BUSINESS
Gala Pharmaceutical Inc. (the “Company”)(“GPI”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 10, 2010. The Company was originally formed to provide garment tailoring and alteration services.
The Company then expanded into the Hemp and Cannabidiol (“CBD”) industry. The expansion focused on the development, research, and commercialization of products derived from the Hemp and Cannabis Plant. At the time GPI was also seeking acquisition candidates in this area of interest in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries.
Gala Pharmaceutical Inc. then hired industry-leading experts in the field of Genomics to utilize their expertise to improve crop yields by utilizing advanced breeding and molecular technologies. The company intended to use proprietary equipment and techniques to ensure the genetic fingerprint of each plant is identical and is cultivated in a controlled environment significantly reducing the variability of each plants yield. It is anticipated that Gala Pharmaceuticals Inc., may at some point provide oversight for the development of fully cGMP production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) for use in forecasted clinical trials supporting the safety and efficacy of the various plant extracts.
The Company currently has been approved by the City of Long Beach to build a testing Cannabis Lab and the Lab build-out is scheduled to be completed on May 20, 2019. The company intends to provide Testing or Analytical Chemistry tools for chemical, plant, soil, and liquid.
The Company also will provide genetic “fingerprinting” and “sequencing” of various crop species. This Fingerprinting allows for storing genetic fingerprint information into a proprietary database. Customers can access genetic fingerprint data which can be used for predictive breeding applications and for protecting intellectual property (IP).

Going Concern
The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and activities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in note (1) of the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes for the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the valuation of its mineral leases and claims and our ability to obtain final government permission to complete the project.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718,Compensation – Stock Compensation, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Derivative Liability
From time to time, the Company may issue equity instruments that may contain an embedded derivative instrument which may result in a derivative liability. A derivative liability exists on the date the equity instrument is issued when there is a contingent exercise provision. The derivative liability is records at is fair value calculated by using an option pricing model such as a multi-nominal lattice model. The fair value of the derivative liability is then calculated on each balance sheet date with the corresponding gains and losses recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Beneficial Conversion Features
From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may contain an embedded beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of the warrants, if related warrants have been granted. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe that the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations as reported in its financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Evaluation Date"), concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedureswere not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving an entity's disclosure objectives. The likelihood of achieving such objectives is affected by limitations inherent in disclosure controls and procedures. These include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(f). Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("2013 COSO Framework").

A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our management concluded we have a material weakness due to lack of segregation of duties and accounting for complex debt and equity transactions. Our size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties within our internal control system. There is mainly one person involved in processing of transactions. Therefore, it is difficult to effectively segregate accounting duties. We have hired an additional administrative person and retained an outside professional firm to assist in the separation of duties on an ongoing basis. The use of the outside firm has proven successful in assisting in the separation of duties. During the year the Company had several audit adjustments related to accounting for complex debt and equity that were deemed material. Management did not have sufficient experience to review these complex debt and equity transactions. As such, we believe this deficiency to have been a material weakness.
However, additional people are not needed to do the administrative work therefore segregation of duties will continue to be an ongoing weakness.
Based on this evaluation and because of the material weaknesses, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of February 28, 2019.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the company to provide only management's report on internal control in this quarterly report.
