Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

(expressed in United States dollars)

June 30, 2022 and 2021

1. Nature of business

FSD Pharma Inc. ("FSD" or the "Company") is a biotechnology company with three drug candidates in different stages of development. FSD Biosciences Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, is focused on pharmaceutical research and development ("R&D") of its lead compound, ultra-micronized palmitoylethanolamide ("PEA") or FSD-PEA (also known as FSD-201). Through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Lucid Psycheceuticals Inc. ("Lucid"), the Company is also focused on the research and development of its lead compounds, Lucid-PSYCH (also known as Lucid-201) and Lucid-MS (also known as Lucid-21-302). PEA, the active substance in FSD-PEA, interacts with the endocannabinoid system in the body and exhibits anti-inflammatory activities. Lucid PSYCH is a molecular compound identified for the potential treatment of mental health disorders. Lucid-MS is a molecular compound identified for the potential treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.

FV Pharma Inc. ("FV Pharma"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was a licensed producer of cannabis in Canada under the Cannabis Act (Canada) (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Cannabis Regulations"), the "Cannabis Act") and associated Cannabis Regulations. FV Pharma surrendered its cannabis license in July 2020 and suspended all activities in September 2020. In March 2020, substantially all the assets of FV Pharma were classified as held for sale (refer to Note 3).

On May 13, 2022, FSD Strategic Investments Inc. ("FSD Strategic Investments"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was incorporated. FSD Strategic Investments is focused on generating returns and cashflow through the issuance of loans secured by residential or commercial property, with FSD Strategic Investments having a first collateral mortgage on the secured property.

The Company's registered office is located at 199 Bay Street, Suite 4000, Toronto, Ontario, M5L 1A9.

Subsidiaries

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are comprised of the financial results of the Company and its subsidiaries, which are the entities over which the Company has control. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and can affect those returns through its power over the investee.

The Company has the following subsidiaries:

		Ownership percentage as at
Entity Name	Country	June 30, 2022	December 31, 2021
		%	%
FSD Biosciences Inc.	USA	100	100
Prismic Pharmaceuticals Inc.	USA	100	100
FV Pharma Inc.	Canada	100	100
Lucid Psycheceuticals Inc.	Canada	100	100
FSD Strategic Investments Inc.	Canada	100	—

Impact of COVID-19

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused disruption to certain business globally; as a result, there could be a possibility of recession in the near future. While the impact of COVID-19 on the Company has been minimal to date, there is uncertainty around its duration and future business conditions. If the outbreak were to cause disruption to the Company's supply chain or its service capabilities in the future, it would have a negative impact on operations, which could be material. In addition, any material negative impact on operations would impact profitability, as well as liquidity and capital resources.

(expressed in United States dollars)

June 30, 2022 and 2021

The impact of COVID-19 did not have a material impact on the continuing operations or financial results of the Company for the period ended June 30, 2022.

2. Basis of presentation

[a] Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("financial statements") were prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as those used in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Accordingly, certain disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") have been omitted or condensed. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

These financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on August 5, 2022.

[d] Functional currency and presentation currency

The financial statements of each company within the consolidated group are measured using their functional currency, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates. The Company's functional currency is the United States dollar and the functional currencies of its subsidiaries are as follows:

FSD Biosciences Inc.	United States Dollar
Prismic Pharmaceuticals Inc.	United States Dollar
FV Pharma Inc.	Canadian Dollar
Lucid Psycheceuticals Inc.	Canadian Dollar
FSD Strategic Investments Inc.	Canadian Dollar

[e] Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, consistent with those disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and described in these financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

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.

June 30, 2022 and 2021

New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted by the Company

IAS 1, Presentation of financial statements ("IAS 1")

In January 2020, the IASB issued Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1). The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the consolidated statements of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non-current. The amendments include clarifying the classification requirements for debt a company might settle by converting it into equity.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with earlier application permitted. In July 2020, the effective date was deferred to January 1, 2023. The Company is still assessing the impact of adopting these amendments on its financial statements.

IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors ("IAS 8")

In February 2021, the IASB issued Definition of Accounting Estimates, which amends IAS 8. The amendment will require the disclosure of material accounting policy information rather than disclosing significant accounting policies and clarifies how to distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty". The amendment provides clarification to help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company is still assessing the impact of adopting these amendments on its financial statements.

IAS 12, Income Taxes ("IAS 12")

In May 2021, the IASB issued Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a single transaction (Amendments to IAS 12). The amendment narrows the scope of the initial recognition exemption so that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. As a result, companies will need to recognize a deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability for temporary differences arising on initial recognition of transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and are to be applied retrospectively. The Company is still assessing the impact of adopting these amendments on its financial statements.

All other IFRSs and amendments issued but not yet effective have been assessed by the Company and are not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. Assets held for sale

In March 2020, the Company decided to focus its efforts and resources on the pharmaceutical business and initiated the process to exit the medical cannabis industry and sell FV Pharma's facility located at 520 William Street, Cobourg, Ontario, K9A 3A5 (the "Facility") and the 64-acre property on which the Facility is located (the "Facility Property"). On May 6, 2022, the Company closed the sale of the Facility and the Facility Property for total consideration of $12,730,942 (C$16,400,000). The Company recognized a gain of $4,249,582 on the sale of the Facility and the Facility Property and incurred selling expenses of $616,002.

Results of operations related to the Disposal Group are reported as discontinued operations for the period ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

14. Share-based compensation

[i] Share-based payment arrangements

The Company has established a share option plan (the "Option Plan") for directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company.

The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry.

Measurement of fair values

There were no share options granted during the period ended June 30, 2022. The fair value of share options granted during the period ended June 30, 2021 were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following inputs:

		2021
Grant date share price		C$2.17 — C$2.85
Exercise price		C$2.25 — C$4.25
Expected dividend yield		—
Risk free interest rate		0.34% — 0.81%
Expected life		3 — 6 years
Expected volatility		129% — 132%

Expected volatility was estimated by using the annualized historical volatility of the Company. The expected option life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on Canadian government bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.

The following table is a summary of the Company's share options outstanding as at June 30, 2022:

[ii] Performance Share Units

In May 2022, the Company established a performance share unit plan ("PSU Plan"), for directors, offers, employees and consultants of the Company.

No amounts are paid or payable by the individual on receipt of the PSUs. Each PSU converts into one common share of the Company at $nil exercise price. The Company's PSU Plan provides that the number of common shares reserved for issuance may not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of common shares that are outstanding unless the Board has increased such limit by a Board resolution.

Measurement of fair values

The fair value of PSUs granted during the period ended June 30, 2022, is measured based on the incremental fair value measured on the date of grant. The incremental fair value is the difference between the fair value of the PSUs based on the share price on the grant date and the fair value of the share options cancelled as measured on date of modification. The incremental fair value on the date of grant was determined to be $1,891,309. The fair value of the share options cancelled was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions:

		May 16, 2022
Grant date share price		C$1.15
Exercise price		C$1.70 — C$7.63
Expected dividend yield		—
Risk free interest rate		2.58% — 2.70%
Expected life		1 — 6 years
Expected volatility		113%

While the outcome of these matters may not be estimable at the reporting date, the Company makes provisions, where possible, for the estimated outcome of such claims or proceedings.

Parkway Clinical Laboratories

Parkway Clinical Laboratories ("PCL"), a company wholly owned by the Company's former CEO, Raza Bokhari, has filed an action in Pennsylvania on July 8, 2021, against the Company. PCL has advanced two claims: (1) breach of contract in which PCL alleges that the Company failed to pay for $1,412,951 worth of services rendered (e.g., providing office space, personnel, and financial assistance); and (2) alleging that the Company received the benefit of the same services referenced in the breach of contract claim without paying for them.

The case was settled in July 2022.

Raza Bokhari

On July 15, 2021, the Company's former CEO, Raza Bokhari, filed a notice of arbitration and is seeking relief and support for breach of contract and severance and damages in the amount of $30,200,000, for aggravated and punitive damages in the amount of $500,000 and legal fees and disbursements associated with the arbitration. Raza Bokhari was placed on administrative leave from his role as the Company's Chief Executive Officer following the Company's annual general and special meeting of shareholders on May 14, 2021, pending the outcome of an investigation of various concerns by a Special Committee comprised of independent directors using independent legal counsel. Upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, Raza Bokhari's employment was terminated for cause by the Company's board of directors on July 27, 2021. The arbitration hearing commenced in March 2022 and has proceeded through the production and oral examination stages.

The Company disputes the allegations and intends to vigorously defend against the claim.
