NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December
31, 2018
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 has changed its year end to December 31.
2.
Going Concern
These
consolidated 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 $2,108,371 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 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The
Company has $249,675 cash on hand as at December 31, 2018. Cash used in operations was $382,399 for the seven month period ended
December 31, 2018. 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.
3.
Summary of principal accounting policies
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated 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.

Foreign
currency translations
The
Company maintains an office in Naples, Florida. The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar. At the transaction
date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense is translated into U.S. dollars by the use of the exchange rate in effect at
that date. At the period end, monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured by using the exchange rate in effect at that date.
Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s joint ventures, Hero Wellness Systems Inc. (formerly
Vitalizer Americas Inc.) and Cormo USA Inc. The Company controls 55% of Hero Wellness Systems Inc. and 35% of Cormo USA Inc. Pursuant
to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, both of these companies are considered variable interest entities that requires
the Company to consolidate. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. The operating
results of the joint ventures have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements commencing September
01, 2018. The non-controlling interest that were not attributable to the Company have been reported separately. (See Note 13,
Note 14).
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 operating ventures consist of Hero Wellness Systems,
Cormo USA and Sustainable Projects Group. 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 net sales less cost of sales, general and administrative
expenses and does not include amortization of any sorts, stock-based compensation or any other charges (income), net and interest
and other, net. As at December 31, 2018, the Company only has revenue to report for the consultancy work it performed. There were
no revenues from Hero Wellness Systems or Cormo USA.

Cash
and cash equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Intangible
assets
Included
in intangible asset is the acquisition of the Gator Lotto App. The purchase includes the application for the Florida lotteries,
all software rights to the Gator Lotto App, the domain, etc. This is amortized over its estimated useful life of three years.
The gross cost and accumulated amortization of the intangible asset will be removed when the recorded amounts are fully amortized
and the asset is no longer in use. During the period ended December 31, 2018, the Company determined that an impairment of $168,000
was required which approximate its market value. The Company currently does not have the resources to exploit the app and may
consider selling this asset in the future.
Included
in the intangible asset is also the exclusive license from Cormo AG for North America. The exclusive license includes, but not
limited to, the intellectual property, know-how, patent trade marks and all present and future process improvements, product applications
and related know-how from Cormo AG. The license is amortized over its estimated useful life of twenty years, which is the term
of the registered patent. The amortization will begin at January 1, 2019 as that was when operations began.
Comprehensive
income
The
Company has adopted ASU 220 “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for reporting and display
of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The Company is disclosing this information on its Statement
of Stockholders’ Equity. Comprehensive income comprises equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions
to owners.
For
the seven months period ended December 31, 2018, there was $68,911 of non-controlling interest that was reconciled to the net
loss and comprehensive loss presented in the statements of operations.
Loss
per share
The
Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260 Earnings Per Share (“EPS”). Basic loss per share
is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss (numerator) applicable
to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) for the period. All EPS presented
in the financial statements are basic EPS as defined by ASU 260, “Earnings Per Share”. There are no diluted
net income/ (loss) per share on the potential exercise of the equity-based financial instruments, hence a state of anti-dilution
has occurred
Website
development costs
The
Company recognized the costs associated with developing a website in accordance with ASC 350-50 “Website Development Cost”
that codified the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”)
NO. 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use”. Relating to website
development costs the Company follows the guidance pursuant to the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) NO. 00-2, “Accounting
for Website Development Costs”. The website development costs are divided into three stages, planning, development and production.
The development stage can further be classified as application and infrastructure development, graphics development and content
development. In short, website development cost for internal use should be capitalized except content input and data conversion
costs in content development stage.
Costs
associated with the website consist primarily of website development costs paid to third party. These capitalized costs will be
amortized based on their estimated useful life over three years upon the website becoming operational. Internal costs related
to the development of website content will be charged to operations as incurred. Web-site development costs related to the customers
are charged to cost of sales.

Advertising
and Promotion Costs
The
Company follows ASC 720 “Advertising Costs” and expenses costs as incurred.
Concentration
of credit risk
The
Company places its cash and cash equivalents with a high credit quality financial institution. The Company maintains United States
Dollars. The Company minimizes its credit risks associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary
financial institution.
Financial
instruments
The
Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable. The
carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying financial statements approximate their fair values due to their
relatively short-term nature or the underlying terms are consistent with market terms. It is the management’s opinion that
the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Mineral
property costs and impairment
All
costs of acquisition and option costs of mineral and property rights are capitalized upon acquisition. To determine if the capitalized
mineral property costs are in excess of their recoverable amount, the Company shall conduct periodic evaluation of the carrying
value of the capitalized costs based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance to ASC 360-10-35-15
“Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets”. Exploration and pre-extraction expenditures shall be expensed until
such time the Company exits the exploration stage by establishing proven or probable reserves. Expenditures relating to exploration
activities such as drill programs to search for mineralized materials shall be expensed as incurred. Expenditures relating to
pre-extraction activities such as construction of mine, well fields, ion exchange facilities and disposal wells shall be expensed
as incurred until such time proven or probable reserves are established for a particular project, after which subsequent expenditures
relating to mine development activities for the particular project shall be capitalized as incurred. As at May 31, 2018, the Company
recorded an impairment of $276,318 for the mineral properties. At December 31, 2018, the Company sold and transferred all the
mineral properties claims to its original owner in exchange for the return of 1,052,631 common shares of the Company for cancellation.
Fair
value measurements
The
Company follows the guidelines in ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. Fair value is defined as
the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required
to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact
and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such
as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.
The
Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels
and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair
value measurement. All financial instruments approximate their fair value.
|
Level
1 — Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
|
|
|
|
Level
2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices
for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated
by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

|
Page F-13
|
|
Level
3—inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including
option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.
|
Related
parties
Related
parties are affiliates of the Company, principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of the
principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or
can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties
might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. Another party also is a related party if it can significantly
influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting
parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented
from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Equity
investments
The
Company invests in equity securities of public and non-public companies for business and strategic purposes. Investments in public
companies are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. Investments in equity securities without readily determinable
fair values are carried at cost, minus impairment, if any. The Company reviews its equity securities without readily determinable
fair values on a regular basis to determine if the investment is impaired. For purposes of this assessment, the Company considers
the investee’s cash position, earnings and revenue outlook, liquidity and management ownership, and among other factors
in its review. If management’s assessment indicates that an impairment exists, the Company estimates the fair value of the
equity investment and recognizes in current earnings an impairment loss that is equal to the difference between the fair value
of the equity investment and its’ carrying amount.
Deferred
revenue
Deferred
revenue is a short-term liability that represents revenues received but not earned. When the Company recognizes its revenue, the
deferred revenue liability will be eliminated. As at December 31, 2018, the Company received $Nil deferred revenue (May 31, 2018
- $25,000; May 31, 2017 $30,000).
Revenue
Recognition
In
May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition of Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance
is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that
reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core
principle, the guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The guidance
addresses several areas including transfer of control, contracts with multiple performance obligations, and costs to obtain and
fulfill contracts. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue
and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized
from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract.
The
Company adopted the ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), from June 01, 2018 using the
modified retrospective method. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018 were not adjusted. The adoption of Topic 606 did
not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements. The Company recognizes revenue when the Company transfers
promised services to the customer. The performance obligation is the monthly services rendered. The Company has one main revenue
source which is providing consulting services. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue from consulting services when the Company’s
performance obligation is complete. Where there is a contract for services, the Company perform the obligations and bills monthly
for its services as rendered. Where there is no contract, the Company performs the obligation and/or service and recognize revenues
as provided. Even though the Company entered into contract with the customer, the contract could be terminated at any time
with notice. The Company may receive payments from customers in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations for services.
These advance payments are recognized as deferred revenue until the performance obligations are completed and then, recognized
as revenues. The Company has one contract with one related party customer where a time period required for notice of termination.
Termination penalties are non-substantive and can be performed by either party. As at December 31, 2018, all of the revenues were
from related parties.

Accounts
receivables
Trade
accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. Management considers the following factors when determining
the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit worthiness, past transaction history, current economic industry
trends and changes in customer payment terms. Past due balances over 90 days and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually
for collectability. Based on the management’s assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through
a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable
collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. There are
no receivables considered uncollectible as of December 31, 2018.
Stock
based compensation
The
Company follows the guideline under ASC 718, “Stock Compensation”. The standard provides that for all stock based
compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights,
which requires that all share-based payments to both employees and directors be recognized in the income statement based on their
fair values. For non-employees stock based compensation, the Company applies ASC 505 Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees. This
standard provides that all stock based compensation related to non-employees be measured at the fair value of the consideration
received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever can be most reliably be measured or determinable.
Operating
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”). The new standard establishes a right-of-use model
that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer
than 12 months. For leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election
by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize
lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Leases will be classified as either
finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Similarly, lessors will be required to
classify leases as sales-type, finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition. Classification
for both lessees and lessors will be based on an assessment of whether risks and rewards as well as substantive control have been
transferred through a lease contract. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including
interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the new standard June 01, 2018.
The Company will also elect to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or
less.
Income
taxes
The
Company follows the guideline under ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes. “Accounting for Income Taxes” which requires the recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on
enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Since
the Company is in the developmental stage and has losses, no deferred tax asset or income taxes have been recorded in the financial
statements. There are no uncertain tax positions as at December 31, 2018, May 31, 2018 and May 31,2017.

The
Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax returns in the State of Nevada as its major tax jurisdictions.
The Company maintains an office in the State of Florida and has also filed its registration there, and shall be subject to state
tax returns in Florida as well.
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 is expected to issue
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.
In
June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”, Improvements to
Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which is intended to improve the usefulness of the information provided to
the users of financial statements while reducing cost and complexity in financial reporting. Under the new standard, nonemployee
share-based payment awards within the scope of Topic 718 are measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that
an entity is obligated to issue when conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied.
These equity-classified nonemployee share-based payment awards are measured at the grant date. Consistent with the accounting
for employee share-based payment awards, an entity considers the probability of satisfying performance conditions when nonemployee
share-based payment awards contain such conditions. The new standard also eliminates the requirement to reassess classification
of such awards upon vesting. The new standard is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods,
beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this new standard does not have an impact on the Company’s 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 do not
expect to have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
4.
Note receivable
On
June 28, 2017, the Company entered into a note receivable with a company with a common director of the Company in the amount of
$200,000 with an interest rate of 3.5% per annum that is payable annually. Any unpaid interest shall be added to the principal
of the loan on an annual basis and together will become the new amount used to calculate the amount of interest going forward.
The note receivable, together with any accrued interest outstanding, is due March 15, 2022. As of the date of this report, the
total principal and accrued interest was paid in full. (see Note 14, Note 16).
As
of December 31, 2018, the balance and interest owing was $210,692.

Other
receivables – related party
On
January 18, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Amixca AG for a period of three years commencing February 1, 2018
in which Amixca AG has agreed to provide business development services. The prepayment of $190,000 to Amixca AG was supposed to
serve as consulting fees over the next three year period. The consulting agreement with Amixca AG was never utilized and Amixca
AG did not provide any services. The consulting agreement was annulled and Amixca AG agreed to return the deposit with a payment
schedule spanning over a year, beginning July 5, 2019 of $20,000 and thereafter, the first of every month of $15,455 until the
full $190,000 has been repaid. As of the date of this report, the full amount was repaid, (See Note 14, Note 16)
The
Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement dated July 25, 2017 with Flin Ventures AG to purchase all the shares of myfactor.io
AG for $175,500 (EUR 150,000) subject to due diligence, buy back of an outstanding bond issued by myfactor.io AG for $83,496 (EUR
70,000) and other conditions. Effective December 4, 2017, myfactor.io AG was purchased and the acquisition was classified as a
held for sale asset and was recorded at fair market value. Due diligence costs with respect to this Share Purchase Agreement were
included in investments. Each company was managed and financed autonomously. The Company held the asset and subsequently sold
this asset in its present condition as at May 31, 2018 for $257,400 (EUR 220,000). During the period ended December 31, 2018,
the company received $124,772 for the sale of the asset. There remains $29,773 outstanding. (See Note 14).
5.
Investments
As
of July 6, 2017, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement to acquire 20% ownership of SPG (Europe) AG by purchasing
2,000 shares of SP Group (Europe) AG from a shareholder of SP Group (Europe) AG, in exchange for the issuance of 6,000 common
shares of the Company at a value of $3.50 per share, which was the fair value of the shares at the time of the transaction ($21,000).
In accordance to the Dividend Agreement signed by the parties, the Company is to receive 20% of the declared dividends. The Company
shares a common director, common management and a majority shareholder with SP Group (Europe) AG. As a result, it was determined
that the Company would ordinarily have significant influence; however, the investee lacks the financial information that the Company,
and any other shareholder, would need to apply the equity method of accounting. The Company has attempted and failed to obtain
that information and accordingly concluded it appropriate to account for the investment using the cost method at this time.
On
January 18, 2018, the Company sold 25% interest of its ownership of SP Group (Europe) AG for $6,000. The sale from SP Group (Europe)
AG created a gain of $750 for the Company. The Company sold all their remaining shares of SP Group (Europe) on December 26, 2018
back to SP Group (Europe) AG for $15,000. (See Note 14).
On
January 30, 2018, the Company acquired 10% ownership of Falcon Projects AG by purchasing 10 shares of Falcon Projects by issuing
10,000 shares of the Company valued at $4.20 per share ($42,000). On December 26, 2018, the Company sold all of its shares of
Falcon Projects AG for $11,000. During the year ended May 31, 2018, the Company recorded an impairment of $31,000. (See Note 14).
