Financial Highlights Commentary

Revenues - Blueberries’ commercial operations are still in early stages with introductory sales of cloned cuttings of its cultivars to associate growers. The Company did not have revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Pre-operating expenses - Since the Company is in early stages of commercial operations, material operational costs are included under pre-operating expenses, which are non-capital expenditures relating to Blueberries’ cannabis cultivation and extraction operations. During 2020, due to COVID-19, the company implemented voluntary salary reductions for personnel in management positions, which is reflected in the lower pre-operating expenses in 2021.

General and Administrative (“G&A”) Expenses – An analysis of selected G&A expenses is as follows:

Share based compensation - During the first quarter of 2021, 3,099,998 unvested options were forfeited resulting in a reversal of stock-based compensation of $251,982.

Director and management fees - The year-on-year decrease reflects savings measures implemented due to COVID-19 pandemic, with certain directors and officers leaving the company. The Company continues to manage its costs and focuses its resources on commercial and revenue-generating activities.

Legal fees - The Q1, 2021 legal fees reflect a one-time cash credit of $24,303 that was recovered from previously unclaimed HST/GST amounts. The fees incurred in 2021 and 2020 mainly relate to procurement of legal services for private placements, ongoing administrative matters and legal counsel regarding the structure and format of potential business ventures the Company is pursuing.

Consulting – Includes advice and assistance on operations, quality management, facility development, financial and technical counsel, human resources services, and regulatory compliance. The reduction of consulting fees from 2020 to 2021 are due to the Company having incurred start-up related consulting fees in 2020, mainly engagement of new services by the company at the start of the operations on compliance with EU-GMP standards. The 2021 consulting fees are also lower because of savings realized by financial services being internalized.

Salary, wages, and benefits - Include payroll, training, benefits, and severance costs of employees in Colombia. The year-on-year decrease reflects the Company continuing to manage its costs, including head count, and focusing its resources on commercial and revenue-generating activities.

Audit and accounting fees - Include cost of audit, accounting and taxation services provided by the Company’s external auditor and other third parties. The Q1, 2021 audit and accounting fees reflect a one-time cash credit of $23,192 that was recovered from previously unclaimed HST/GST amounts.

General office expenditures - Include office and equipment rent, utilities, communication, and cleaning services. The year-on-year decrease reflects savings measures implemented due to COVID-19 pandemic. Blueberries closed its Toronto and Bogota offices, with significant monthly rental fee savings.

Travel – The decrease in travel expenses from 2020 to 2021 is due to tighter cost control on discretionary expenses and the impact of COVID-19 travel restrictions.

Finance Expense - The finance expense consists of accrued interest of $32,500 on the convertible debenture and the accretion of convertible debt liability of $29,989.
