1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
CordovaCann Corp. (the “Company” or “CordovaCann” or “Cordova”) is a Canadian-domiciled company focused on building a leading, diversified cannabis products business across multiple jurisdictions including Canada and the United States. CordovaCann primarily provides services and investment capital to the processing, production and retail vertical markets of the cannabis industry. The Company’s principal address is 217 Queen Street West, Suite 401, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 0R2.
The Company’s common shares currently trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol “CDVA” and in the United States on the OTCQB under the symbol “LVRLF”.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) on a going concern basis which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. There is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as the Company incurred a comprehensive loss of $385,458 (September 30, 2022 – $851,146) during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and has a total accumulated deficit of $40,703,098 (June 30, 2023 – $40,294,989) as at September 30, 2023. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to access sufficient capital until it has profitable operations. This uncertainty may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. To this point, all operational activities and overhead costs have been funded through equity issuances, debt issuances and related party advances.
The Company believes that continued funding from equity and debt issuances will provide sufficient cash flow for it to continue as a going concern in its present form until its operations become profitable and cash flow positive, however, there can be no assurances that the Company will achieve this. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of Compliance
The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries were prepared using accounting policies consistent with IFRS as issued by the IASB and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on November 29, 2023

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
(b) Basis of Presentation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except biological assets which were measured at fair value. Historical cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. In addition, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for certain cash flow information.
(c) Functional and Presentation Currency
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries are detailed in Note 2(e) below.
Translation of foreign-currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of each subsidiary at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at the reporting date of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss.
Translation of financial statements of subsidiaries
In translating the financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiaries from their functional currencies into the Company's presentation currency of Canadian dollars, statement of financial position accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the statement of financial position date and income and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity (deficiency).
(d) Use of Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include estimates, which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty as of the date of the statement of financial position that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fiscal year arise in connection with the valuation of financial instruments, valuation of acquired assets, fair value of share purchase warrants, share-based payments and deferred tax assets.
(e) Basis of Consolidation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include those of the Company and its subsidiaries, which are the entities controlled by the Company. Control over an investee is achieved when the Company has power over the investee, has exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of its returns. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are synonymous with the significant accounting polices of the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023.
The following IFRS standards have been recently issued by the IASB. Pronouncements that are irrelevant or not expected to have a significant impact have been excluded.
Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
The amendment clarifies the requirements relating to determining if a liability should be presented as current or non-current in the statement of financial position. Under the new requirement, the assessment of whether a liability is presented as current or non-current is based on the contractual arrangements in place as at the reporting date and does not impact the amount or timing of recognition. The amendment applies retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company will make this assessment as required at the end of each reporting date.
Amendments to IAS 1: Covenants
The amendment that clarify how an entity classifies debt and other financial liabilities as current or non-current in particular circumstances. The amendments applies retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Management will perform this assessment each reporting period as required and evaluate the potential impact of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies and estimates that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements is included in the following:
Determination of control
The control principle in IFRS 10 sets out the three elements of control: power over the investee; exposure, or rights, to variable returns from involvement with the investee; and the ability to use power over the investee to affect the amount of those returns. Judgement is required in assessing these three elements and reaching a conclusion on obtaining of control of a business.
Income taxes
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 tax authorities, which occurs subsequent to the issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES (continued)
Impairment of long-lived assets
Assets, including property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts exceed their recoverable amounts. If an impairment assessment is required, the assessment of fair value often requires estimates and assumptions such as discount rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, rehabilitation and restoration costs, future capital requirements and future operating performance. Changes in such estimates could impact recoverable values of these assets. Estimates are reviewed regularly by management.
Valuation of biological assets and inventory
Management is required to make a number of estimates in calculating the fair value of biological assets. These estimates include a number of assumptions including estimations of the stage of growth, pre-harvest and post-harvest costs, sales price and expected yields. Inventories of harvested finished goods and packaging materials are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Management determines net realizable value, which is the estimated selling price less the estimated costs to completion, and the estimated selling costs. The Company estimates the net realizable value of inventories by using the most reliable evidence available at each reporting date. The future realization of these inventories may be different from estimated realization. A change to these assumptions could impact the Company's inventory valuation and gross profit from sales of inventories.
Share-based payment transactions
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with goods and services received by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the stock option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.
Provisions and contingencies
The amount recognized as provision, including legal, contractual, constructive and other exposures or obligations, is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the related liability, including any related interest charges, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. In addition, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Therefore, the assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. The Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies based upon the best information available, relevant tax laws and other appropriate requirements.
Useful lives of depreciable assets
The Company estimates the useful lives for an item of depreciable assets to its significant parts and depreciates separately each such part. Management reviews the useful lives of depreciable assets and their significant parts at each reporting date based on the expected utility of the assets to the Company. Actual results, however, may vary due to a variety of factors including technical obsolescence.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES (continued)
Determination of purchase price allocations and contingent consideration
Judgements are made in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities, including the valuation of separately identifiable intangibles acquired as part of an acquisition. Further, estimates are made in determining the value of contingent consideration payments that should be recorded as part of the consideration on the date of acquisition and changes in contingent consideration payable in subsequent reporting periods, if any. Contingent consideration payments are generally based on acquired businesses achieving certain performance targets. The estimates are based on management’s best assessment of the related inputs used in the valuation models, such as future cash flows and discount rates. Future performance results that differ from management’s estimates could result in changes to liabilities recorded, which are recorded as they arise through the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Leases
Management applies judgment in reviewing each of its contractual arrangements to determine whether the arrangement contains a lease. Leases that are recognized are subject to further management judgment and estimation in various areas specific to the arrangement, including lease term and discount rate. In determining the lease term to be recognized, Management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension operation, or not to exercise a termination option. Where the rate implicit in a lease is not readily determinable, the discount rate of lease obligations are estimated using a discount rate that estimates the Company's specific incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate that the Company would incur to obtain the funds necessary to purchase an asset of a similar value, with similar payment terms and security, in a similar economic environment.
Valuation of convertible debentures
Judgement is made on the initial recognition of convertible debentures and the appropriate allocation into their equity and/or liability components at the date of issuance, in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreements. The conversion options require an estimation of the fair value of a similar liability that doesn’t have an associated equity component by using a suitable discount rate at initial recognition and each extension date. The carrying amount of the conversion options is then determined by deducting the fair value of the financial liability from the fair value of the convertible debenture as a whole. A convertible debenture for which the Company is able to avoid a contractual obligation to pay cash is classified as an equity instrument.

5. ACQUISITIONS
a) 2734158 Ontario Inc.
On September 17, 2020, the Company acquired an additional 10.35% of the common shares of 273 Ontario not previously owned by Cordova (the “Additional Shares”). The total purchase price for the Additional Shares amounted to $305,267, of which $72,539 was paid on closing, and the remaining amounts will be paid as follows:
|
| · | payment of $157,167 paid on the earlier of retail license approval of Cordova by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario or January 15, 2021 (the “License Payment”); |
|
| · | payment of $36,269 on the date three months after the License Payment; and |
|
| · | payment of $39,292 on the date nine months after the License Payment |
As Cordova previously controlled 273 Ontario with 50.1% ownership interest, this transaction resulted in a change to Cordova’s ownership stake and was accounted for as an equity transaction.
The $139,095 difference between the carrying value $166,172 for the non-controlling interests and the $305,267 consideration paid was recognized directly in deficit.
During the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company paid $72,539 on closing and the License Payment for total payments in the amount of $265,975. During the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company paid the remaining $39,292 outstanding. The total amount outstanding by the Company for the payment of the Additional Shares as at June 30, 2022 was $nil (2021 - $39,292).
During the year ended June 30, 2021, 273 Ontario paid dividends in the amount of $450,000. Of the $450,000 dividends paid, $177,975 were paid to the non-controlling interest shareholders of 273 Ontario.
During the year ended June 30, 2022, 273 Ontario paid dividends in the amount of $87,831. Of the $87,831 paid, $34,737 was paid to the non-controlling interest shareholders of 273 Ontario.
During the year ended June 30, 2023 and three months ended September 30, 2023, there were no dividends declared or paid by 273 Ontario.
6. RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash relates to an amount held in an escrow account by the buyer of the Oregon Property (the “Escrow Account”). The amount held in the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing and restricted for the completion of the buildout of the Oregon Property (Note 9). During the three months ended September 30, 2023, withdrawals from the Escrow Account amounted to $132,191 (US $98,547) (June 30, 2023 – $862,245 (US $673,040)) which were related to the buildout of the Oregon property. The balance as at September 30, 2023 amounted to $41,795 (US $30,913) (June 30, 2023 – $171,405 (US $129,460)).
7. INVENTORY
The Company’s inventory includes purchased products. The Company’s purchased inventory during the three months ended September 30, 2023 amounted to 2,470,455 (September 30, 2022 – $2,680,674). The Company’s inventory as at September 30, 2023 amounted to $995,058 (June 30, 2023 – $919,481).

8. OTHER DEPOSIT
On November 7, 2019, the Company advanced CDN $408,840 (US $300,000) to a non-arm’s length party in exchange for Promissory Note C (the “Joint Forces Deposit”).
On October 12, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement”), settling the outstanding Joint Forces Deposit for a payment term over 2 years for a total of $460,626 (US $338,000). Accordingly, the Joint Forces Deposit was determined to be a financial instrument and recorded at amortized cost. The initial carrying amount of the financial asset was determined by discounting the stream of future payments of interest and principal at a market interest rate of 8% which is estimated to be the lending rate available to the Company for similar instruments.
During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company received payments of $53,059 (US $40,000) (2022 - $231,948 (US $180,000)). The Company did not receive any payments during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
The outstanding balance of the Joint Forces Deposit amounted to $54,080 as at September 30, 2023 (June 30, 2023 – $52,960).

18. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
a) Convertible Debentures Series A-4 – March 12, 2021
On March 12, 2021, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of unsecured subordinated convertible debenture units (the “Debenture Units of Series A-4”) of the Company for gross proceeds of $390,000.
Each Debenture Unit of Series A-4 consists of $1,000 principal amount of unsecured subordinated convertible debentures (the “Debentures of Series A-4”) and 1,000 common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants of Series A-4”) of the Company. The Debentures of Series A-4 matured on March 12, 2022 and bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum, accrued monthly and payable at maturity. The outstanding principal amount of the Debentures of Series A-3 and any accrued interest is convertible into common shares of the Company at the option of the holder at any time prior to the maturity date at a conversion price of $0.50 per share. The Company also has the option to force conversion of the Debentures of Series A-4 and any accrued interest at the same conversion price if the Company’s common shares trade above $0.50 per share for ten consecutive trading days on the Canadian Securities Exchange. Furthermore, the Debentures of Series A-4 and accrued interest shall automatically convert into common shares of the Company at maturity. Each full Warrant of Series A-4 entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company until March 12, 2023 at an exercise price of $0.75 per share.
The Debenture Units of Series A-4 were determined to be an equity instrument, comprising a conversion feature and warrants as a result of the Company being able to avoid a contractual obligation to pay cash related to the principal and interest at maturity. The subscription amount of $390,000 was allocated to the equity portion of convertible debt and warrants based on their pro-rata fair values of $208,452 and $181,548, respectively. The interest expense related to the Debenture Units of Series A-4 are added to the equity portion of convertible debt as accrued.
On May 31, 2022, the Debenture Units of Series A-4 were converted into the Convertible Debentures Series A-5 offering. The principal amount of $390,000, the accrued interest of $58,500 were transferred to Convertible Debentures Series A-5. As a result of the transfer, a loss in the amount of $99,635 was recorded.
b) Convertible Debentures Series A-5 – May 30, 2022
On May 31, 2022, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of unsecured subordinated convertible debenture units (the “Debenture Units of Series A-5”) of the Company for gross proceeds of $897,000 with annual interest rate of 15% and maturity on May 30, 2023.
Each Debenture Unit of Series A-5 consists of $1,000 principal amount of unsecured subordinated convertible debentures (the “Debentures of Series A-5”) and 1,000 common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants of Series A-5”) of the Company. The Debentures of Series A-5 matured on May 30, 2023 and bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum, accrued monthly and payable at maturity. The outstanding principal amount of the Debentures of Series A-5 and any accrued interest is convertible into common shares of the Company at the option of the holder at any time prior to the maturity date at a conversion price of $0.36 per share.

| CordovaCann Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars) |
18. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES (continued)
The Company had the option to force conversion of the Debentures of Series A-5 and any accrued interest at the same conversion price if the Company’s common shares trade above $1.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days on the Canadian Securities Exchange. Furthermore, the Debentures of Series A-5 and accrued interest shall automatically convert into common shares of the Company at maturity. Each full Warrant of Series A-5 entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company until May 30, 2024 at an exercise price of $1.25 per share.
Prior to closing of the Offering, the Company exercised its rights of repayment in respect of the Convertible Debentures of Series A-4 of the Company issued on March 12, 2021 and, in connection with its election for early repayment, holders of the Convertible Debentures of Series A-4 directed the Company to retain the funds representing repayment and to apply such funds towards satisfaction of the purchase price for the respective Debenture of Series A-5. The Company issued an aggregate of $488,500 worth of Debenture Units to the subscribers of the Debentures of Series A-4. The remaining $448,500 pertained to a settlement of outstanding Demand Loans in the amount of $390,000 (US $300,000) and $58,500 (US $45,000) of interest.
At initial recognition, the Debenture Units of Series A-5 were determined to be an equity instrument due to being able to avoid a contractual obligation to pay cash related to the principal and interest at maturity. The subscription amount of $897,000 was allocated to the equity portion of convertible debt and warrants based on their pro-rata fair values of $678,433 and $218,567, respectively. The interest expense related to the Debenture Units of Series A-5 are added to the equity portion of convertible debt as accrued.
On the maturity date of May 30, 2023, the Company did not elect to convert the Debenture Units of Series A-5. As a result of the non-exercise of the conversion option, the Company’s Debenture Units of Series A-5 no longer met the criteria of an equity instrument, as it could no longer avoid the contractual obligation to pay cash related to the principal and interest. Accordingly, the Company reclassified the equity portion of convertible debenture to a convertible debenture liability at its face value of $897,000. As a result of the reclassification, the Company recorded a loss in the amount of $218,567 during the year ended June 30, 2023. The loss arises from the difference between the face value of convertible debentures and the amount reclassified from equity to the convertible debenture liability on the maturity date.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, interest in the amount of $33,637 (September 30, 2022 – $33,638) was recorded in relation to the outstanding convertible debentures. As at September 30, 2023, the outstanding principal amount of the convertible debentures amounted to $897,000 (June 30, 2023 – $897,000) and the outstanding accrued interest amounted to $179,400 (June 30, 2023 – $145,763).
19. OPTIONS
On November 22, 2018, the Company’s shareholders approved and the Company adopted a rolling stock option plan (the “Option Plan”), under which the Board of Directors may from time to time, in its discretion, grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. Pursuant to the Option Plan, the Company may issue options for such period and exercise price as may be determined by the Board of Directors, and in any case not exceeding ten (10) years from the date of grant with the total options issued under the Option Plan not exceeding ten percent (10%) of the common shares of the Company, outstanding at the time of the granting of such options. The minimum exercise price of an option granted under the Option plan must not be less than the market value of the common shares on the date such option is granted.

(a) Employment Agreements
The Company is party to certain employments agreements with key executives of the Company that contain clauses requiring additional payments of up to two times the annual entitlements under these agreements upon occurrence of certain events, such as a change of control. As a triggering event has not taken place, the contingent payments have not been reflected in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
(b) Contingencies
During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company was identified as a defendant along with three other defendants (the “Other Defendants”) to a complaint in the Orange County Superior Court of California and for the State of California (the “Complaint”). The Complaint contains five causes of actions by the plaintiff (the “Plaintiff”), but only one of those causes of action, for injunctive relief, is asserted against the Company. The Complaint involves claims by the Plaintiff that at the request of the Other Defendants, the Plaintiff guaranteed a loan to acquire lab equipment for the benefit of the Other Defendants in the amount of $251,793. The Complaint claims that the Other Defendants failed to pay off the subject loan and converted the equipment, depriving the Plaintiff of the ability to foreclose and receive repayment. The cause of action for injunctive relief against the Company (as well as the Other Defendants) requests that the court issue an order setting forth title and control to the equipment. The Company currently leases this equipment from the Other Defendants.

The Company intends on defending this Complaint to the extent that a liability is imposed on the Company for the replacement of the equipment or for the monetary damages imposed on the Other Defendants. As at the date of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, it is premature, and not practical, to determine whether or not there will be any outflow and, if so, the amount of that outflow. Accordingly, no provisions have been made on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements of position with respect to the Complaint.
22. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related party transactions as at and for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and the balances as at those dates, not disclosed elsewhere in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are as follows:
|
| a) | During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company expensed $165,000 (September 30, 2022 – $165,000), in fees payable to officers and directors of the Company and in fees payable to a corporation related by virtue of a common officer and director; and |
|
| b) | As at September 30, 2023, the Company had fees payable to officers and directors of the Company of $2,645,882 (June 30, 2023 – $2,467,695). |
23. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK FACTORS
The fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making fair value measurements is as follows:
|
| Level 1: | quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
|
| Level 2: | inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. from derived prices); and |
|
| Level 3: | inputs for the asset or liability that are not based upon observable market data. |
Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, promissory notes payable, mortgage payable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying value due to the relatively short-term maturities of these instruments.
Risk Management Policies
The Company, through its financial assets and liabilities, is exposed to various risks. The Company has established policies and procedures to manage these risks, with the objective of minimizing any adverse effect that changes in these variables could have on these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The following analysis provides a measurement of risks as at September 30, 2023:

| CordovaCann Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars) |
23. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK FACTORS (continued)
Credit Risk
The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk, which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties, totals the carrying amount of these assets as stated in the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position. The Company's principal financial assets are cash, restricted investments and accounts receivable, which represent the Company's exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets. The credit risk on cash and restricted investments is mitigated by transacting with banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. An allowance for expected credit losses is established based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific accounts, historical trends and other information when necessary.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due within one year. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
As at September 30, 2023, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern primarily due to its history of losses and negative working capital. Liquidity risk continues to be a key concern in the development of future operations.
Market Risk
(i) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on all of the Company’s existing debt are fixed, and therefore it is not currently subject to any significant interest rate risk.
(ii) Foreign Currency Risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility in these rates due to the timing of their accounts payable balances. The risk is mitigated by timely payment of creditors and monitoring of foreign exchange fluctuations by management. As at September 30, 2023, the Company did not use derivative instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk.
(iii) Price Risk
The Company’s operations do not involve the direct input or output of any commodities and therefore it is not subject to any significant commodity price risk. In addition, the Company does not have any equity investments in other listed public companies, and therefore it is not subject to any significant stock market price risk.

| CordovaCann Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars) |
24. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company’s definition of capital includes all components of shareholders’ equity (deficiency) excluding non-controlling interest. As at September 30, 2023, the Company’s shareholders’ deficiency amounted to $2,131,116 (June 30, 2023 – $1,718,873). The Company’s objectives when managing capital are as follows:
|
| (i) | to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; and |
|
|
|
|
|
| (ii) | to raise sufficient capital to meet its business objectives. |
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the general economic conditions, and the Company’s short-term and long-term capital requirements. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue these plans, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt.
25. COMPARATIVE AMOUNTS
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the condensed interim consolidated financial statement presentation adopted for the current period. Such reclassifications did not have an impact on previously reported net and comprehensive loss.

Overview
Business Overview
CordovaCann Corp. (formerly, LiveReel Media Corporation) (the “Company” or “CordovaCann” or “Cordova”) is headquartered in Toronto, Canada and specializes in identifying, funding, developing and managing operations throughout the cannabis value chain. The Company takes a holistic approach to working with its partners throughout North America to build a network of cannabis operations on its multi-jurisdictional platform. CordovaCann owns operations in the United States in Oregon and Washington and has built a chain of cannabis retail stores in Canada with locations in Ontario and Manitoba. On January 3, 2018, the Company changed its name from LiveReel Media Corporation to CordovaCann Corp. The Company’s principal address is 217 Queen Street West, Suite 401, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 0R2.
The Company’s common shares (the “Common Shares”) currently trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol “CDVA” and in the United States on the OTCQB under the symbol “LVRLF”.
The Company has the following three-pronged strategy to approach the cannabis marketplace:
Retail
The Company’s retail business in Canada now has 11 stores across two provinces and it is looking to establish a footprint in the United States. The Company’s current stores have compelling store unit economics, where stores are quickly profitable and have an investment payback of twelve months or less after opening. Cordova primarily targets markets where the stores become part of the fabric of the communities around them, thus creating a loyal customer base for its stores. Over fiscal 2023, the Company took steps to close down unprofitable stores and is focusing on growing in profitable markets going forward. The Company continues to pursue successful one-off retailers and small chains at valuations that are very accretive to the base.
White Label Manufacturing
The Company is focused on establishing white-label manufacturing of cannabis products to aid in the geographic proliferation of strong cannabis brands. Cordova plans on partnering with the best brands in its jurisdictions to lower the cost of production and accelerate the time to additional markets. Outsourcing manufacturing allows brands to focus on increasing audience size and share, while still dictating the production process. Cordova plans to attract these brands via its geographically diversified production facilities, which will enable brands to enter multiple new states at once.
Niche Cannabis Brands
The third key sector of focus for Cordova is developing or acquiring niche brands that have cult-like followings that can be introduced to new markets. Although most significant cannabis brands have been born on the west coast, they have neglected the opportunity to expand geographically. The potential to create national brands is expected to accelerate with the anticipated upcoming federal legalization and Cordova has the ability to leverage investments in white label manufacturing and larger retail chains to drive brand awareness and increase brand profitability.

Key Transaction Summaries
Summary of Investment in 2734158 Ontario Inc.
On May 19, 2020, the Company completed the purchase of its initial stake of 2734158 Ontario Inc. (“273”), an arm’s length Ontario-based cannabis retail venture (the “Ontario Transaction”). Cordova invested seven hundred twenty-three thousand dollars ($723,000) in 273 in exchange for 50.1% of 273. Cordova invested two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) for 21.7% of 273 at the close of the Transaction, and invested (i) two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) on June 14, 2020, (ii) two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) on July 14, 2020, and (iii) one hundred twenty-three thousand dollars ($123,000) on August 13, 2020, which collectively gave the Company ownership of 50.1% of 273 after all payments were made. The Transaction was subject to approval from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario and compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Cordova holds 4 of 6 board seats of 273 and has a right of first refusal on any future sale of primary or secondary shares in 273. The retail stores are operated by 273 under the Star Buds brand name, and Cordova is leveraging its assets of Starbuds International Inc. to provide 273 with retail store designs and layouts, standard operating procedures, staff training, financing resources and systems support. On September 17, 2020, the Company acquired an additional 10.35% of the common shares of 273 not previously owned by Cordova (the “Additional Shares”) bringing its accumulated ownership of 273 to 60.45%. The total purchase price for the Additional Shares amounted to $305,267, of which $265,975 was paid during the year end June 30, 2021 and the remainder $39,292 was paid during the three months ending March 31, 2022.
Business Plan and Strategy
Current Business Plan and Strategy
CordovaCann is committed to assembling a premier cannabis business with a vision to becoming a global industry leader. The Company is building and acquiring leading cannabis retail, processing and production operators in key jurisdictions that will enable CordovaCann to serve national and international markets that have legal, regulated medical, and/or recreational cannabis industries. The Company is focused on expanding its retail footprint, investing and scaling its branded product portfolio, and leveraging excess capacity for white label manufacturing. The Company intends to leverage its low-cost infrastructure, administrative support, and move toward vertical integration in key markets to establish a global multi-jurisdictional platform.
CordovaCann continues to work with knowledgeable cannabis operators and over the next twelve months, the Company is focused on growing its retail operations in both Canada and the United States. It is also working to expand the throughput of its wholesale operations as well as launch branded products in its U.S. markets. Moving forward, the Company will also seek to enter additional key legal markets not currently served by CordovaCann, as well as seek to expand operations in those markets where the Company already has a presence. CordovaCann plans to develop various end products for distribution in each of its current markets as well as to service other brands and intellectual property owners with its growing processing and manufacturing platforms and allow these clients and prospective clients to gain access to our distribution channels to generate additional revenue for the Company.

| CordovaCann Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 |
CordovaCann’s long-term focus is to continue expanding its reach into additional legal markets, and the Company expects to organically build and acquire cannabis producers, processors and retailers globally. The Company continues to develop and acquire additional operations and products, and broaden its channels for distribution.
Current Outlook
Management continues to take an active approach to examining business opportunities in the cannabis industry that could enhance shareholder value. The focus in the near term is to continue to grow its retail operations in Canada where the Company has established a presence in the Provinces of Ontario and Manitoba. The Company is expecting to grow its retail operations both through development of new stores as well as looking for acquisition opportunities in strategic markets.
CordovaCann is also focussing on growing its presence in the United States. Along with its growing operations in Oregon and Washington the Company is actively pursuing new opportunities in additional states to add to its portfolio, with its goal of having vertically integrated operations in key global cannabis markets.

Revenue is primarily related to the cannabis retail operations of the Company in the provinces of Ontario and Manitoba. Further, investments in Washington operations have also contributed to the revenue during the respective periods. The decrease in the Company’s revenue from the comparative quarter was due to the closure of its retail store locations in Western Canada during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

| 14 | Page |
| CordovaCann Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 |
The Debenture Units of Series A-4 were determined to be an equity instrument, comprising a conversion feature and warrants as a result of the Company being able to avoid a contractual obligation to pay cash related to the principal and interest at maturity. The subscription amount of $390,000 was allocated to the equity portion of convertible debt and warrants based on their pro-rata fair values of $208,452 and $181,548, respectively. The interest expense related to the Debenture Units of Series A-4 are added to the equity portion of convertible debt as accrued.

On May 30, 2022, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of unsecured subordinated convertible debenture units (the “Debenture Units of Series A-5”) of the Company for gross proceeds of
$897,000 with annual interest rate of 15% and maturity on May 30, 2023.
Each Debenture Unit of Series A-5 consists of $1,000 principal amount of unsecured subordinated convertible debentures (the “Debentures of Series A-5”) and 1,000 common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants of Series A-5”) of the Company. The Debentures of Series A-5 mature on May 30, 2023 and bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum, accrued monthly and payable at maturity. The outstanding principal amount of the Debentures of Series A-5 and any accrued interest is convertible into common shares of the Company at the option of the holder at any time prior to the maturity date at a conversion price of $0.36 per share. The Company also has the option to force conversion of the Debentures of Series A-5 and any accrued interest at the same conversion price if the Company’s common shares trade above $1.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days on the Canadian Securities Exchange. Furthermore, the Debentures of Series A-5 and accrued interest shall automatically convert into common shares of the Company at maturity. Each full Warrant of Series A-5 entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company until May 30, 2023 at an exercise price of $1.25 per share.
Prior to closing of the Offering, the Company exercised its rights of repayment in respect of the Convertible Debentures of Series A-4 of the Company issued on March 12, 2021 and, in connection with its election for early repayment, holders of the Convertible Debentures of Series A-4 directed the Company to retain the funds representing repayment and to apply such funds towards satisfaction of the purchase price for the respective Debenture of Series A-5. The Company issued an aggregate of $488,500 worth of Debenture Units to the subscribers of the Debentures of Series A-4.

At initial recognition, the Debenture Units of Series A-5 were determined to be an equity instrument due to being able to avoid a contractual obligation to pay cash related to the principal and interest at maturity. The subscription amount of $897,000 was allocated to the equity portion of convertible debt and warrants based on their pro-rata fair values of $678,433 and $218,567, respectively.

| CordovaCann Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 |
On the maturity date of May 30, 2023, the Company did not elect to convert the Debenture Units of Series A-5. As a result of the non-exercise of the conversion option, the Company’s Debenture Units of Series A-5 no longer met the criteria of an equity instrument, as it could no longer avoid the contractual obligation to pay cash related to the principal and interest. Accordingly, the Company reclassified the equity portion of convertible debenture to a convertible debenture liability at its face value of $897,000. As a result of the reclassification, the Company recorded a loss in the amount of $218,567 during the year ended June 30, 2023. The loss arises from the difference between the face value of convertible debentures and the amount reclassified from equity to the convertible debenture liability on the maturity date.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, interest in the amount of $33,637 (September 30, 2022 – $33,638) was recorded in relation to the outstanding convertible debentures. As at September 30, 2023, the outstanding principal amount of the convertible debentures amounted to $897,000 (June 30, 2023 – $897,000) and the outstanding accrued interest amounted to $179,400 (June 30, 2023 – $145,763).

| b) | As at September 30, 2023, the Company had fees payable to officers and directors of the Company of $2,645,882 (June 30, 2023 – $2,467,695). |
Contingencies
During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company was identified as a defendant along with three other defendants (the “Other Defendants”) to a complaint in the Orange County Superior Court of California and for the State of California (the “Complaint”). The Complaint contains five causes of actions by the plaintiff (the “Plaintiff”), but only one of those causes of action, for injunctive relief, is asserted against the Company. The Complaint involves claims by the Plaintiff that at the request of the Other Defendants, the Plaintiff guaranteed a loan to acquire lab equipment for the benefit of the Other Defendants in the amount of $251,793. The Complaint claims that the Other Defendants failed to pay off the subject loan and converted the equipment, depriving the Plaintiff of the ability to foreclose and receive repayment. The cause of action for injunctive relief against the Company (as well as the Other Defendants) requests that the court issue an order setting forth title and control to the equipment. The Company currently leases this equipment from the Other Defendants. The Company has not been served the Complaint and there is no claim for damages against the Company presently in the Complaint. The Company intends on defending this Compliant to the extent that a liability is imposed on the Company for the replacement of the equipment or for the monetary damages imposed on the Other Defendants. As at the date of these consolidated financial statements, it is premature, and not practical, to determine whether or not there will be any outflow and, if so, the amount of that outflow. Accordingly, no provisions have been made on the Company’s consolidated financial statements of position with respect to the Complaint.

Financial and Derivative Instruments
The Company, through its financial assets and liabilities, is exposed to various risks. The Company has established policies and procedures to manage these risks, with the objective of minimizing any adverse effect that changes in these variables could have on these consolidated financial statements. The following analysis provides a measurement of risks as at September 30, 2023
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due within one year. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. As at September 30, 2023, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern primarily due to its history of losses. Liquidity risk continues to be a key concern in the development of future operations. Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on all of the Company’s existing debt are fixed, and therefore it is not currently subject to any significant cash flow interest rate risk.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility in these rates due to the timing of their accounts payable balances. The risk is mitigated by timely payment of creditors and monitoring of foreign exchange fluctuations by management. As at September 30, 2023, the Company did not use derivative instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk.
The Company’s operations do not involve the direct input or output of any commodities and therefore it is not subject to any significant commodity price risk. In addition, the Company does not have any equity investment in other listed public companies, and therefore it is not subject to any significant stock market price risk.
Critical Accounting Policies
These consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries were prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are described below.
| 17 | Page |
| CordovaCann Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 |
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except where otherwise disclosed. Historical cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
Functional and Presentation Currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s presentation currency.
Translation of foreign-currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of each subsidiary at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at the reporting date of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss.
Translation of financial statements of subsidiaries
In translating the financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiaries from their functional currencies into the Company's presentation currency of Canadian dollars, statement of financial position accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the statement of financial position date and income and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity (deficiency).
Use of Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These consolidated financial statements include estimates, which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout these consolidated financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty as of the date of the statement of financial position that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fiscal year arise in connection with the valuation of financial instruments, valuation of acquired assets, fair value of share purchase warrants, share-based payments and deferred tax assets.

Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include those of the Company and of the entities controlled by the Company (the “subsidiaries”). Control over an investee is achieved when the Company has power over the investee, has exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of its returns. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

Share-based payments
Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and recognized over the expected service periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the stock options reserve. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that will eventually vest.

Compound financial instruments
Compound financial instruments issued by the Company are comprised of convertible debentures that can be converted into common shares and promissory notes payable attached with warrants. The Compound financial instruments are segregated into their debt and equity components or derivative liability components at the date of issue, in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreements. The conversion feature of the convertible promissory notes is presumed to be classified as a derivative financial liability unless it meets all the criteria to recognize as equity instrument. One of criteria is that the conversion option exchanges a fixed amount of shares for a fixed amount of cash ("fixed for fixed").
If the conversion feature meets the fixed for fixed criteria, the conversion option will be classified as equity components. Equity instruments are instruments that evidence a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Therefore, when the initial carrying amount of the compound financial instruments is allocated to its equity and liability components, the equity component is assigned the residual amount after deducting from the fair value of the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined for the liability component. The sum of the carrying amounts assigned to the liability and equity components on initial recognition is always equal to the fair value that would be ascribed to the instrument as a whole. No gain or loss arises from initially recognizing the components of the instrument separately.
If the conversion feature does not meet the fixed for fixed criteria, the conversion option will be recorded as derivative financial liability, which must be separately accounted for at fair value on initial recognition. The carrying amount of the debt component, on initial recognition, is recalculated as the difference between the proceeds of the convertible promissory notes as a whole and the fair value of the derivative financial liabilities. Subsequent to initial recognition, the derivative financial liability is re-measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operation for each reporting period, while the debt component is accreted to the face value of the debt using the effective interest method.
Transaction costs are allocated to the debt and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the proceeds on initial recognition. Transaction costs allocated to equity components will be accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit; cost allocated to the derivative financial liability component are expensed; and cost allocated to the debt component are offset against the carrying amount of the liability and included in the determination of the effective interest rate.
The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially as the difference between the fair value of the computed financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition except on conversion or upon expiration, when the carrying value of the equity portion is transferred to common shares or contributed surplus.

Financial instruments
The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Under IFRS 9, such financial assets or financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and the subsequent measurement depends on their classification.
Financial assets
IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is classified and measured at amortized cost or at fair value. The classification and measurement of financial assets is based on the Company’s business models for managing its financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”). Financial assets are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at either (i) amortized cost; (ii) fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”); or (iii) at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”).
Amortized cost - Financial assets classified and measured at amortized cost are those assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are SPPI. Financial assets classified at amortized cost are measured using the effective interest method.
Fair value through other comprehensive income - Financial assets classified and measured at FVTOCI are those assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are SPPI. This classification includes certain equity instruments where IFRS 9 allows an entity to make an irrevocable election to classify the equity instruments, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that would otherwise be measured at FVTPL to present subsequent changes in FVTOCI.
FVTPL - Financial assets classified and measured at FVTPL are those assets that do not meet the criteria to be classified at amortized cost or at FVTOCI. This category includes debt instruments whose cash flow characteristics are not SPPI 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 the financial asset.
Financial liabilities
Under IFRS 9, financial liabilities are primarily classified at amortized cost with limited exceptions. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The Company's accounting policy for each category is as follows:
FVTPL - This category comprises derivatives, liabilities acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term, and certain financial liabilities that were designated at FVTPL from inception.
Amortized cost - Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs. They are subsequently recognized at amortized cost using effective interest method with interest expense recognized on an effective yield basis.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the statement of financial position when the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and it intends to either settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

| Mortgage payable |
| Amortized cost |
| Contract liability |
| Amortized cost |
| Promissory notes payable |
| Amortized cost |
| Lease liabilities |
| Amortized cost |
IFRS 9 uses an expected credit loss impairment model which is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost where any expected future credit losses are provided for, irrespective of whether a loss event has occurred as at the reporting date. For accounts receivable excluding taxes receivable, the Company utilized a provision matrix, as permitted under the simplified approach, and has measured the expected credit losses based on lifetime expected credit losses taking into consideration historical credit loss experience and financial factors specific to the debtors and other factors. The carrying amount of trade receivables is reduced for any expected credit losses through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. At the point when the Company is satisfied that no recovery of the amount owing is possible, the amount is considered not recoverable and the financial asset is written off.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at each statement of financial position date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the cash-generating unit, or "CGU").
The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is the higher of its fair value, less costs to sell, and its value in use. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment charge is recognized immediately in profit or loss equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lesser of the revised estimate of recoverable amount, and the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized previously.
Inventories
Inventories for finished cannabis goods are initially valued at cost, and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the average costing method. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The Company reviews inventory for obsolete, redundant and slow-moving goods and any such inventories identified are written down to net realizable value.

Revenue
Revenue from the sale of cannabis goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, generally at the date of transfer of ownership title. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received.
Service revenues, including long-term marketing contracts, are recognized over a period of time as performance obligations are completed. Payment of the transaction price for the marketing contract is typically due prior to the services being rendered and therefore, the transaction price is recognized as a contract liability, or deferred revenue, when payment is received. Contract liabilities are subsequently recognized into revenue as or when the Company fulfills its performance obligation.
Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures
The term "disclosure controls and procedures" is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, together with the members of our Audit Committee have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting since September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Business Environment
Compliance with Applicable State Law
Each licensee of the Intellectual Property complies with applicable U.S. state licensing requirements as follows: (1) each licensee is licensed pursuant to applicable U.S. state law to cultivate, possess and/or distribute cannabis in such state; (2) renewal dates for such licenses are docketed by legal counsel and/or other advisors; (3) random internal audits of the licensee’s business activities are conducted by the applicable state regulator and by the respective investee to ensure compliance with applicable state law; (4) each employee is provided with an employee handbook that outlines internal standard operating procedures in connection with the cultivation, possession and distribution of cannabis to ensure that all cannabis inventory and proceeds from the sale of such cannabis are properly accounted for and tracked, using scanners to confirm each customer’s legal age and the validity of each customer’s drivers’ license; (5) each room that cannabis inventory and/or proceeds from the sale of such inventory enter is monitored by video surveillance; (6) software is used to track cannabis inventory from seed-to-sale; and (7) each licensee is contractually obligated to comply with applicable state law in connection with the cultivation, possession and/or distribution of cannabis. CordovaCann’s U.S. legal counsel reviews, from time to time, the licenses and documents referenced above in order to confirm such information and identify any deficiencies.
