NOTES
TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March
31, 2021
1.
Organization and Nature of Operations
Sustainable
Projects Group Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA on September 4, 2009 as Blue Spa Incorporated
which was engaged in the development of an internet based retailer of a multi-channel concept combining a wholesale distribution with
a retail strategy relating to the quality personal care products, fitness apparel and related accessories. On December 19, 2016, the
Company amended its name from “Blue Spa Incorporated” to “Sustainable Petroleum Group Inc.” On September 6, 2017,
the Company obtained a majority vote from its shareholders to amend the Company’s name from “Sustainable Petroleum Group
Inc.” to “Sustainable Projects Group Inc.” to better reflect the business it has undertaken. The name change was effective
on October 20, 2017.
The
Company is a multinational business development company that pursue investments and partnerships with companies across sustainable sectors.
It is continually evaluating and acquiring assets for holding and/or for development. The Company is involved in mineral exploration,
consulting services and collaborative partnerships.
The
Company’s year end is December 31.
2.
Going Concern
These
condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States or “GAAP”, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has limited
operations and has sustained operating losses resulting in a deficit. In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the
assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the
Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements, and the success of its future operations.
The
Company has accumulated a deficit of $3,118,294 since inception and has yet to achieve profitable operations and further losses are anticipated
in the development of its business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent
upon obtaining additional financing and/or achieving a sustainable profitable level of operations. The consolidated unaudited interim
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The
Company has $2,429 cash on hand as at March 31, 2021. The Company will need to raise additional cash in order to fund ongoing operations
over the next 12 month period. The Company may seek additional equity as necessary and it expects to raise funds through private or public
equity investment in order to support existing operations and expand the range of its business. There is no assurance that such additional
funds will be available for the Company on acceptable terms, if at all.

Summary of principal accounting policies
Basis
of presentation
While
the information presented is unaudited, it includes all adjustments, which are, in our opinion of management, necessary to present fairly
the financial position, result of operations and cashflows for the interim period presented in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These consolidated interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2020 annual financial statements. Operating results for
the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ended December
31, 2021.
The
accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company, it’s wholly subsidiary
YER Brands Inc., and its joint venture, Hero Wellness Systems Inc. (formerly Vitalizer Americas Inc.) The Company controls 55% of Hero
Wellness Systems Inc. Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, the joint venture company is considered as a variable
interest entity that requires the Company to consolidate its account. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in the consolidation. The operating results of the joint venture have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements
and the non-controlling interest that were not attributable to the Company have been reported separately. At June 30, 2020, the Company’s
other joint venture, Cormo USA Inc.’s assets were impaired and the Company impaired its investment and eliminated that company’s
accounts from the condensed consolidated financial statements. Financial statements for the three month period ending March 31, 2020
include the results of Cormo USA inc.
Significant
Accounting Policies
There
have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the December 31,
2020 annual report.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management
makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial
statements are prepared. Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically
in the period when new information becomes available to management. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment
Reporting
The
Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting
used by management for making decisions and assessing performance of its corporation wide basis in comparison to its various businesses.
The Company has three reportable segments. The business operations consist of Hero Wellness Systems, YER Brands and Sustainable Projects
Group. The segment for Cormo USA has been extinguished at June 30, 2020. The segments are determined based on several factors including
the nature of products and services, nature of production processes and delivery channels and consultancy services. The operating segment’s
performance is evaluated based on its segment income. Segment income is defined as the gross sales and miscellaneous income. As at March
31, 2021, revenues were reported from YER Brands and Hero Wellness Systems.

Recently
issued accounting pronouncements
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”. The ASU sets forth a “current
expected credit loss” (CECL) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held
at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing
incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies
to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim
periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Recently, the FASB issued the final ASU to delay adoption for smaller
reporting companies to calendar year 2023. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its financial
statements.
The
Company adopts new pronouncements relating to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the Company as they are issued,
which may be in advance of their effective date. Management does not believe that any pronouncements not included above will have a material
effect on the accompanying financial statements.
