2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

a) Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 ("consolidated financial statements") are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, except for certain financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due.

Failure to arrange adequate financing on acceptable terms and/or achieve profitability may have an adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and prospects of the Company. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to assets or liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

b) Functional and reporting currency

The functional currency of the Company is Canadian dollars ("C$"), and the functional currency of the Company's subsidiaries is U.S. dollars ("US$"). C21 has determined that the US$ is the most relevant and appropriate reporting currency as the Company's operations are conducted in US$ and its financial results are prepared and reviewed internally by management in US$. The consolidated financial statements are presented in US$ unless otherwise noted.

c) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the accounts of the Company and all the entities in which the Company has a controlling voting interest and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. All consolidated entities were under common control during the entirety of the periods for which their respective results of operations were included in the consolidated statements from the date of acquisition. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
