ALLIED CORP. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in US dollars) (Unaudited) |
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
a) Nature of operations
Allied Corp. (the “Company” or “Allied”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 3, 2013, and officially adopted its current name on July 1, 2019. The Company's head office and registered office are located at 200-460 Doyle Ave, Kelowna, British Columbia, V1Y OC2, Canada. The Company’s common shares trade on the OTCQB under the symbol “ALID”.
On February 18, 2020, the Company acquired all issued and outstanding share capital of Allied Colombia, a Colombian entity. Allied Colombia’s assets, liabilities, and results have been consolidated into these financial statements from the date of acquisition. As of August 31, 2024, Allied Colombia operates a licensed cannabis farm in Colombia.
Allied’s business plan includes the discovery of new medical technologies, some of which are cannabis-derived, aimed at providing comprehensive therapy and support for trauma survivors, military veterans, and first responders. However, the Company has not yet begun such operations or obtained the necessary permits. Its current revenue is derived from the sale of cannabis products through Allied Colombia.
b) Going concern
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023 (the “financial statements”) have been prepared on a going concern basis. For the three months ended November 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $
c) Business Risks
While some states in the United States have authorized the use and sale of cannabis, it remains illegal under federal law and the approach to enforcement of U.S. federal laws against cannabis is subject to change. The Company plans to engage in cannabis-related activities in the United States, only if and when cannabis operations are federally legalized.
F-6 |
Table of Contents |
ALLIED CORP. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in US dollars) (Unaudited) |
On January 4, 2018, the then United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memorandum to United States district attorneys (the “Sessions Memorandum”) which rescinded previous guidance from the United States Department of Justice specific to cannabis enforcement in the United States, including the Cole Memorandum. With the Cole Memorandum rescinded, United States federal prosecutors no longer have guidance relating to the exercise of their discretion in determining whether to prosecute cannabis related violations of United States federal law. Since that time, United States district attorneys have taken no legal action against state law compliant entities, and the Biden administration is generally anticipated to seek federal decriminalization of state legal cannabis activity. Nevertheless, a significant change in the federal government’s enforcement policy with respect to current federal laws applicable to cannabis could cause significant financial damage to the Company. The Company may be irreparably harmed by a change in enforcement policies of the federal government depending on the nature of such change.
Given the current illegality of cannabis under United States federal law, the Company’s ability to access both public and private capital may be hindered by the fact that certain financial institutions are regulated by the United States federal government and are thus prohibited from providing financing to companies engaged in cannabis related activities. The Company’s ability to access public capital markets in the United States is directly hindered as a result. The Company may, however, be able to access public and private capital markets in the United States through institutions which are not regulated by the United States federal government, in Canada, and in many other countries in order to support continuing operations.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Presentation
These unaudited condense consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in United States dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is August 31.
These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended August 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at November 30, 2024, and the results of its operations for the three months ended November 30, 2024, and cash flows for the three months ended November 30, 2024. The results of operations for the period ended November 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.

ALLIED CORP. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in US dollars) (Unaudited) |
The significant accounting policies followed are:
a) Principles of consolidation
These financial statements include accounts of Allied Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including AM Biosciences, Allied US Products LLC, Tactical Relief LLC, Baleno Ltd. and Allied Colombia. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition and control and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect these returns through its power over the investee. All intercompany balances, income, expenses, and unrealized gains and losses resulting from intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
b) Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect on the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rate at the reporting date. All differences are recorded in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates and any revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. The resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
c) Cash
Cash is comprised of cash on hand, cash held in trust accounts and demand deposits.
d) Taxes receivable
Taxes receivable represent payments of VAT and are presented as part of other receivables. On a periodic basis, the Company assess recoverability of these balances based on the probability of the Colombian government to reimburse these amounts.
e) Inventory
Inventory includes work-in-progress and finished goods. Work-in-progress comprises raw materials, supplies, pre-harvest cannabis plants, and diluted crude. Finished goods consist of dried flower, CBD isolates available for sale, and purchased cannabis products.

ALLIED CORP. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in US dollars) (Unaudited) |
The costs of inventory include but are not limited to labor, utilities, nutrition and irrigation, overhead and the depreciation of manufacturing equipment and production facilities, and amortization of licenses determined at normal capacity. Manufacturing overhead and related expenses include salaries, wages, employee benefits, utilities, maintenance and rent of grow facility. The Company began production in Colombia in late 2020, when the Company obtained approval for its strains of products. During the current period, certain costs were determined based on the actual usage of production space as compared to the normal predetermined operational production of the facility based on capacity as the Company gradually started to grow products and prepared the facility ready.
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined using weighted average cost. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. At the end of each reporting period, the Company performs an assessment of inventory and records write-downs for excess and obsolete inventories based on the Company’s estimated forecast of product demand, production requirements, market conditions, regulatory environment, and spoilage. Actual inventory losses may differ from management’s estimates and such differences could be material to the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of net loss and comprehensive loss and statements of cash flows.
f) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which are as follows:
Category | Useful life |
Farm facility and equipment | |
Office and computer equipment | |
Land equipment |
g) Intangible assets
Intangible assets consist of licenses, amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated economic life of
The Company periodically evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. Once these assets are fully amortized, they are removed from the accounts. These assets are reviewed for impairment or obsolescence when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If impaired, intangible assets are written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques. The Company has no intangibles with indefinite lives.

ALLIED CORP. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in US dollars) (Unaudited) |
h) Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets include property and equipment, right-of-use assets, and intangible assets with finite useful lives.
At each balance sheet date or when triggering events arise, the Company assesses long-lived assets for potential impairment. Assets are grouped at the lowest level of separately identifiable cash flows, or asset groups. Circumstances that may trigger an impairment review include significant declines in the asset's market price, adverse changes in business climate or legal factors, substantially higher than expected acquisition or construction costs, current period or projected operating losses associated with the asset, and expectations of early asset disposal.
If impairment indicators are present, the Company conducts an undiscounted cash flow analysis to assess recoverability. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss to the extent that an asset’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
i) Leases
At the start of a contract containing a lease, the Company classifies leases other than short-term leases as either operating or finance leases, following the criteria outlined in ASU 2016-02 Leases. Lease classification is only reassessed when: (a) the contract is modified and not treated as a separate contract, or (b) there is a change in the lease term or a reassessment of whether the lessee is likely to exercise a purchase option for the underlying asset. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less.
For both finance and operating leases, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are initially measured as the present value of future lease payments plus initial direct costs, discounted at the lease's implicit interest rate, or, if not available, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
Subsequent measurements differ by lease type:
· | For finance leases, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, and right-of-use assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization, depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term. |
|
|
· | For operating leases, lease liabilities are measured at the present value of unpaid lease payments, discounted at the original discount rate. Right-of-use assets are adjusted by accumulated amortization, calculated as the difference between the straight-line lease cost (including amortization of initial direct costs) and the periodic accretion of the lease liability. |
As at November 30, 2024, the Company has one lease which is classified as an operating lease.

j) Stock-based compensation
The Company measures equity-settled share-based payments at fair value on the grant date, recognizing share-based compensation expense over the vesting period based on the estimated number of equity instruments expected to vest and uses Plain Vanilla for calculating the expected terms of options. Any consideration received from stock option exercises is recorded as an increase to common stock and additional paid-in capital.
k) Share issuance costs
Costs directly attributable to the raising of capital are charged against the related share capital. Costs related to shares not yet issued are recorded as deferred share issuance costs. These costs are deferred until the issuance of the shares to which the costs relate, at which time the costs will be charged against the related share capital or charged to operations if the shares are not issued.
l) Secured convertible notes payable
Under the simplified guidance of ASU 2020-06, the Company accounts for convertible debt instruments, including its secured convertible notes payable as a single unit of account unless the conversion feature requires bifurcation in accordance with derivative accounting under ASC 815. Secured convertible notes payable are initially recorded at fair value adjusted for issuance costs and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Convertible note interest expense includes the stated interest rate and any applicable amortized discounts. Upon conversion, the debt's carrying amount is reclassified to equity with no gain or loss recognized.
m) Financial instruments
Financial instruments represent contracts that create a financial asset for one party and a financial liability or equity instrument for another. Initially, financial instruments are recorded at fair value, reflecting the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Subsequent measurement depends on the classification of the financial instrument, with values measured at either fair value or amortized cost. For instruments measured at fair value, the Company uses quoted market prices when available to determine fair value.
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy, based on the reliability of the lowest level of inputs used in estimating fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

ALLIED CORP. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in US dollars) (Unaudited) |
Level 3 - Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The Company’s financial instruments comprise cash, trade receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, loans payable, and secured convertible notes payable. There are no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis presented on the Company’s balance sheet. As of November 30, 2024, the carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values, primarily due to their short-term maturities.
n) Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenue is comprised of sales of cannabis products. The Company’s revenue-generating activities have a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the product transfers and the Company’s obligations have been fulfilled. This generally occurs when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer, depending upon the method of distribution and shipping terms set forth in the customer contract. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the sale of the Company’s product.
Sales of products are for cash or otherwise agreed-upon credit terms. The Company’s payment terms vary by location and customer; however, the time period between when revenue is recognized and when payment is due is not significant. The Company estimates and reserves for its bad debt exposure based on its experience with past due accounts and collectability, write-off history, the aging of accounts receivable and an analysis of customer data.
o) Net income (loss) per common share
Net income (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260 Earnings per Share. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earning or loss per share. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares and diluted potential common shares outstanding to the extent the effect would not be antidilutive. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised.
Basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
p) Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs.
A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

q) Related party transactions
Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company. The Company discloses related party transactions that are outside of normal compensatory agreements, such as salaries. Related party transactions are measured at the exchange amounts.
r) Significant accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amount, events or actions to for the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.
Significant estimates and assumptions included in these financial statements relate to the valuation assumptions related to the estimated useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Judgments are required in the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue to as going concern as described in Note 1.
s) Recent accounting pronouncements
Issuance of ASU 2020-06:
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2020-06 - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging and Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), aimed at simplifying the accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the existing models that require the separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the guidance on the derivative scope exception related to the equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity.
Additionally, the new standard introduces enhanced disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. It also amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, mandating the use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and must be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption allowed starting January 1, 2021.

ALLIED CORP. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in US dollars) (Unaudited) |
Issuance of ASU 2023-07:
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, which introduces improvements to the information that a public entity discloses about its reportable segments and addresses investor requests for more information about reportable segment expenses. The ASU does not change the current guidance related to the identification of operating segments, the determination of reportable segments, or the aggregation criteria. Rather, the new guidance introduces additional disclosure requirements and expands those requirements to entities with a single reportable segment, not just entities with multiple reportable segments.
ASU 2023-07 enhances interim disclosure requirements, clarifies the circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, and introduces the significant expense principle, which requires additional disclosure of segment expenses. In addition, the ASU provides new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment and contains other disclosure requirements.
ASU 2023-07 is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The enhanced segment disclosure requirements apply retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company will adopt ASU 2023-07 for effective September 1, 2024 and the effects will be present in the Company’s financial statements the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025 and all interim periods following.
The Company has not early-adopted any new accounting standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective other than ASU 2020-06. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact.
t) Reclassification and change in presentation of comparative figures
Certain amounts on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss of the prior year have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

9. LEASES
The Company accounts for leases under ASC 842, Leases, which establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The Company also elected to keep all leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet.
As at August 31, 2023, the Company had one active lease for a 12.5-hectare plot of land in Los Santos Municipality, Colombia, designated for cultivation activities. The lease was set to expire on February 1, 2030. This lease was classified as an operating lease.
On August 1, 2024, the Company and the lessor amended the lease, increasing the base rent and adjusting the lease term to expire on July 31, 2029. As a result of the amendment, the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were remeasured, resulting in an increase of $
ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the ROU asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the ROU asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the ROU asset results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. At August 31, 2023, the Company did not have any finance leases.
A summary of the Company’s weighted average discount rate used in calculating lease liabilities and weighted average remaining lease term is as follows:

14. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
a) Credit risk
Credit risk arises when one party to a financial instrument fails to meet its obligations, potentially causing financial loss to the other party. The Company’s main exposure to credit risk lies in its cash holdings and trade receivables. Cash is securely held with major Canadian banks, and trade receivables remain minimal. Management considers the overall credit risk to be low.
b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. As at November 30, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $
c) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is minimal, as it does not hold any variable-rate financial liabilities.
d) Foreign exchange risk
Foreign currency risk is limited to the portion of the Company’s business transactions denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate risk but manages the risk my minimizing the value of financial instruments denominated in foreign currency. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that the following monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars:

15. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the business and continue as a going concern. The Company considers capital to be all accounts in equity. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business. The Company has a working capital deficit and requires additional capital to finance its future business plans. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in various claims, litigation and other matters in the ordinary course and conduct of business. Some of these pending matters may take a number of years to resolve. While it is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of such actions at this time, and inherent uncertainties exist in predicting such outcomes, it is the Company’s belief that the ultimate resolution of such actions is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
a) As of November 30, 2024 and August 31, 2024, the Company recorded a contingent liability of $

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion relates to the historical operations and financial statements of Allied Corp. for the three months ended November 30, 2024 and November 30, 2023.
Forward-Looking Statements
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. When used, the words “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect,” and the like, and/or future-tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” etc.), or similar expressions, identify certain of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Annual Report. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include, without limitation, those specifically addressed under the heading “Risks Factors” in our various filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Annual Report.
The following discussion highlights the Company’s results of operations and the principal factors that have affected its consolidated financial condition as well as its liquidity and capital resources for the periods described and provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations presented herein. The following discussion and analysis are based upon Allied Corp’s unaudited financial statements contained in this Current Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. You should read the discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto.
Overview
Allied Corp. (“Allied” or the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation, based in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. Allied is an international medical cannabis production company with a mission to address today’s medical issues by researching, creating and producing targeted cannabinoid health solutions. Allied uses what it considers to be an evidence-informed scientific approach to make this mission possible, through cutting-edge pharmaceutical research and development, innovative plant-based production and unique development of therapeutic products.
References in this periodic report on Form 10-Q to “Allied” or the “Company” may include references to the operations of our subsidiaries AM (Advanced Micro) Biosciences, Inc., Allied Colombia S.A.S., Baleno Ltd., Tactical Relief, LLC, and Allied US Products, LLC. Each of these corporations is a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of Allied and consequently report quarterly financials up to a consolidated quarterly submission.
We focus on the development of Colombian produced medicinal cannabis for patients with conditions potentially suitable for treatment. Such conditions include anxiety, insomnia, anorexia, chronic pain, epilepsy, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Parkinson’s disease, Tourette’s syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) and spinal cord injury (SCI).
Our objective is to be a company that controls its own international vertically integrated supply chain, in order to maximize cash flow and profit margins. Our management team believes that having control over our supply chain should enable us to provide a consistent, rolling-harvest supply to the global cannabis community.

Given the average cost of production in North America being approximately $1.00 to $2.00 per gram, we believe our anticipated direct agricultural cost of raw flower to be in the range of $0.05 – $0.075 per gram. Based on historical production of ours and other companies in the same region of cannabis these savings are a production afforded by our Colombian production and cultivation which should provide us a competitive advantage.
In addition to what we consider as our demonstrated ability to cultivate low-cost and high margin cannabis in Colombia primarily for international distribution, we have received commercial approval for sale of medical cannabis being produced in Colombia for export internationally. Allied Corp’s commitment to building and maintaining strong relationships with its partners and customers around the world has been a driving force behind its recent successes. The Company is dedicated to meeting the evolving needs of patients and healthcare professionals with its high-quality medical cannabis products, underpinned by rigorous quality standards and ethical cultivation & processing practices.
Critical Accounting Policies
Business Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), and are expressed in United States dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is August 31.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended August 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at November 30, 2024, and the results of its operations for the three months ended November 30, 2024, and cash flows for the three months ended November 30, 2024. The results of operations for the period ended November 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.
The significant accounting policies followed are:
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include accounts of Allied Corp. and its majority owned subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition and control and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect these returns through its power over the investee. All intercompany balances, income, expenses, and unrealized gains and losses resulting from intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is comprised of cash on hand, cash held in trust accounts and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities within three months when acquired. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of November 30, 2024 and August 31, 2024.

Table of Contents |
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. The Company depreciates the cost of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates and methods:
Equipment | 1 to 10 years straight-line basis |
Office and computer equipment | 5 to 10 years straight-line basis |
Land equipment | 10 years straight-line basis |
Inventory
Inventory is comprised of raw materials, supplies, vegetative and flowering plants, dried flower, diluted crude and CBD isolates available for sale and purchased cannabis products.
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined using weighted average cost. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. At the end of each reporting period, the Company performs an assessment of inventory and records write-downs for excess and obsolete inventories based on the Company’s estimated forecast of product demand, production requirements, market conditions, regulatory environment, and spoilage. Actual inventory losses may differ from management’s estimates and such differences could be material to the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of net loss and comprehensive loss and statements of cash flows.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets include licenses which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 10 years. The Company’s licenses are amortized over their economic or legal life on a straight-line basis, whichever is shorter. The licenses have been amortized from the date of acquisition.
The Company periodically evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. Once these assets are fully amortized, they are removed from the accounts. These assets are reviewed for impairment or obsolescence when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If impaired, intangible assets are written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques. The Company has no intangibles with indefinite lives.
For long-lived assets, impairment losses are only recorded if the asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted, probability-weighted future cash flows. The Company measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value. When an impairment exists, the related assets are written down to fair value.
5 |
Table of Contents |
Long-lived assets
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value, which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
Foreign currency translation and functional currency conversion
Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entities operate (the “functional currency”).
Prior to September 10, 2019, the Company’s functional currency was the Canadian dollar. Translation gains and losses from the application of the U.S. dollar as the reporting currency during the period that the Canadian dollar was the functional currency are included as part of cumulative currency translation adjustment, which is reported as a component of shareholders’ equity under accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The Company re-assessed its functional currency and determined as at September 10, 2019, its functional currency changed from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar based on management’s analysis of changes in our organization. The change in functional currency was accounted for prospectively from September 10, 2019 and prior period financial statements were not restated for the change in functional currency.
For periods commencing September 10, 2019, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Opening balances related to non-monetary assets and liabilities are based on prior period translated amounts, and non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities incurred after September 10, 2019 are translated at the approximate exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Revenue and expense transactions are translated at the approximate exchange rate in effect at the time of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss as foreign exchange gains.
The Company assessed the functional currency for Allied Colombia to be the Colombian peso. The functional currency for all other subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.
Share issuance costs
Costs directly attributable to the raising of capital are charged against the related share capital. Costs related to shares not yet issued are recorded as deferred share issuance costs. These costs are deferred until the issuance of the shares to which the costs relate, at which time the costs will be charged against the related share capital or charged to operations if the shares are not issued.
Research and development costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Table of Contents |
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenue is comprised of sales of cannabis and CBD products.
The Company’s revenue-generating activities have a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the product transfers and the Company’s obligations have been fulfilled. This generally occurs when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer, depending upon the method of distribution and shipping terms set forth in the customer contract. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the sale of the Company’s product. Certain of the Company’s customer contracts may provide the customer with a right of return. In certain circumstances the Company may also provide a retrospective price adjustment to a customer. These items give rise to variable consideration, which is recognized as a reduction of the transaction price based upon the expected amounts of the product returns and price adjustments at the time revenue for the corresponding product sale is recognized. The determination of the reduction of the transaction price for variable consideration requires that the Company make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the timing and amounts of revenue recognized.
Sales of products are for cash or otherwise agreed-upon credit terms. The Company’s payment terms vary by location and customer; however, the time period between when revenue is recognized and when payment is due is not significant. The Company estimates and reserves for its bad debt exposure based on its experience with past due accounts and collectability, write-off history, the aging of accounts receivable and an analysis of customer data.
Net income (loss) per common share
Net income (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earning or loss per share. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares and diluted potential common shares outstanding to the extent the effect would not be antidilutive. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised.
Basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

Related party transactions
Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company. The Company discloses related party transactions that are outside of normal compensatory agreements, such as salaries. Related party transactions are measured at the exchange amounts.
Significant accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amount, events or actions to for the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.
Significant estimates and assumptions included in these financial statements relate to the valuation assumptions related to the estimated useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Judgments are required in the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue to as going concern.
Financial instruments
ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
8 |
Table of Contents |
The financial instruments consist principally of cash, due from related parties, accounts payable, note payable, and convertible notes payable. The fair value of cash when applicable is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all other financial instruments which are categorized as loans and receivables approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or current market rates of interest for similar instruments.
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including accounts payable, due from related parties, notes and loans payable, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to the short maturities.
The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis presented on the Company’s balance sheet as of November 30, 2024 and August 31, 2024 other than cash.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease in whole or in part at the inception of the contract. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term while lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. All leases with terms greater than twelve months result in the recognition of a ROU asset and a liability at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Unless a lease provides all of the information required to determine the implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. The Company uses the implicit interest rate in the lease when readily determinable.
Our lease terms include all non-cancelable periods and may include options to extend (or to not terminate) the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with terms of twelve months or less at the commencement date are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term and do not result in the recognition of an asset or liability.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective September 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The Company does not expect that recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months ended November 30, 2024, are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended November 30, 2024 of $780,290, has generated minimal revenue and as at November 30, 2024 has a working capital deficit of $8,874,738. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise sufficient financing to develop a profitable business. Management intends on financing its operations and future development activities largely from the sale of equity securities and debt financing with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including related party loans until such time that funds provided by future planned operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Unaudited Results for the Three Months ended November 30, 2024 compared to the Three Months Ended November 30, 2023
Sales
For the three-month period ended November 30, 2024, the Company had revenue of $27,669 compared to $19,039 for the three-month period ended November 30, 2023.
Gross margin
For the three-month period ended November 30, 2024, the Company had a gross margin of $13,611 compared to $17,036 for the three-month period ended November 30, 2023.
Expenses
For the three-month period ended November 30, 2024, the Company had total expenses of $793,901, compared to total expenses of $853,709 for the three-month period ended November 30, 2023. Of the total expenses for the three-month period ended November 30, 2024, a total of $94,114 (November 30, 2023 - $118,646) was interest expense on convertible notes. The operating expenses consisted principally of consulting fees in the development of the Company’s cannabis business, general office expenses, professional fees and rent. The decrease in total expenses is primarily attributed to the decrease in consulting fees of $267,679, offset by an increase of foreign exchange loss of $96,250.
Net Loss
For the three-month period ended November 30, 2024, the Company had a net loss of $780,290 compared to a net loss of $836,673 for the three-month period ended November 30, 2023. This was principally related to the expenses referenced in the previous paragraph.

As at November 30, 2024, we had working capital deficit of $8,874,738. Our primary cash flow needs are for the development of our cannabis products, operating costs, administrative expenses and for general working capital.
As of November 30, 2024, the Company had $612,469 in current assets, consisting of $195,350 in cash, $287,053 in inventory, $75,939 in other receivables, and $54,127 in prepaid expenses. Other assets mainly include property, plant and equipment of $1,173,224, right-of-use assets of $120,114 and intangible assets of $27,149.
To date, the Company has financed its operations through equity sales and through the sale of convertible notes.
Secured Convertible Notes
The Company has granted each and every of the secured convertible note holders a continuing security interest in, a general lien upon, and a right of set-off against all existing and future assets and property under the terms of a security agreement.
As of August 31, 2023, the Company issued multiple tranches of convertible notes with attached warrants, raising total proceeds of $4,024,891. Of this amount, $543,004 was allocated to the warrants using the relative fair value method and recorded as additional paid-in capital. Bifurcation of the conversion feature is not required and the secured convertible notes payable are classified as a single financial liability.
These notes have undergone several amendments, setting an interest rate of 10% per annum and extending their maturity dates. By September 30, 2023, $300,000 of the principal had been repaid, and the remaining notes had matured, prompting the Company to enter into negotiations with the noteholders to further extend the maturity dates.
On March 15, 2024, a new amendment was finalized, extending the maturity of all defaulted convertible notes to December 31, 2024. The conversion prices were revised to the lesser of 80% of the 20-day average closing price per share (but no lower than $0.20 per share) or $0.50 per share. The interest rate remains 10% per annum.
Additionally, on December 4, 2023, the Company issued an additional convertible note with a face value of $50,000. This note bears interest at 10% per annum, matures on December 31, 2024, and is convertible into common shares at $0.20 per share prior to maturity.
As at November 30, 2024, the principal outstanding on the convertible notes totaled $3,774,891 (August 31, 2024 - $3,774,891), with accrued interest payable of $1,196,843 (August 31, 2024 - $1,102,729) recorded within accrued liabilities.

The Company issued a total of 10,181,990 shares of common stock at $0.20 per share and 42,000 shares of common stock at $0.072 per share, generating gross proceeds of $2,039,343, of which $50,000 had been received during the year ended August 31, 2023.

The difference between the settlement amount and the par value of the shares was recognized as an additional capital contribution from the related parties and recorded under additional paid-in capital.
Use of funds
During the three months ended November 30, 2024, the Company secured additional equity financing. These funds have supported the Company’s ongoing operations in Colombia and Canada, as well as efforts related to regulatory compliance, development of intellectual property, infrastructure upgrades in Colombia and strengthening working capital. The additional financing has also provided general corporate resources to sustain and grow operational capacity in key regions.
We continually assess our operational plans to determine the most effective use of our cash resources. The timeline for completing various aspects of our operations depends significantly on the availability of funds and other factors beyond our control. There is no assurance we will successfully secure the required capital or revenue, or if obtained, that the amounts will fully fund our ongoing operations.
Capital Expenditures
As of November 30, 2024, the Company’s carrying value of property, plant and equipment was $1,173,224 (August 31, 2024 - $1,218,111).

MediColombias Acquisition (Colombia Licensed Producer)
On August 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Dorson Commercial Corp. (“Dorson”) as the sole owner of Baleno Ltd. to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Baleno Ltd., the sole owner of Medicolombia Cannabis S.A.S. (“Medicolombia”). Medicolombia is based in Colombia with a full set of licenses and a lease agreement in place to produce product on a 5 hectare parcel of land. We have the ability to scale production to over hundreds of hectares. This is located in the area of Bucamaranga, Colombia.
Pursuant to the agreement the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Medicolombia in exchange for $700,000 and 4,500,000 shares of Allied. The Company closed and completed the acquisition on February 17, 2020. Medicolombia has subsequently changed its name to Allied Colombia S.A.S.
Natural Health Products Acquisition
In May 2019 the management team of AM Biosciences were able to negotiate the inclusion of a natural health products catalogue of products. This includes 50 products in the natural health vertical market. Three of these products are of particular interest as they have Natural Health Products registration numbers with Health Canada. AM Biosciences can add these to the product offerings both in Canada and the United States.
Since the Board of Directors of the Company has determined to currently focus on the cannabis product, this project is currently on hold.
Commitments and Contractual Obligations
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $50,364,810 at November 30, 2024 and a net loss of $780,290 for the three months ended November 30, 2024.
The Company does not yet have a history of financial stability. Historically, the principal source of liquidity has been the issuance of convertible notes and equity securities. In addition, the Company has generated minimal revenues since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue operations is dependent on the success of Management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through the issuance of equity securities, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.
The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash will be sufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. During the annual audit for the year ended August 31, 2024, management’s initial estimates used in its assessment of asset impairment were modified resulting in audit adjustments. Accordingly, based on the COSO framework criteria, management concluded that there was a material weakness in the internal control over financial reporting at August 31, 2024 as management lacked a formal policy of testing for impairment. As a result, our internal controls over financial reporting were also deemed ineffective for the period covered by this Report. Management is presently reviewing its internal controls and working to implement a formal policy around impairment testing to address this weakness.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In 2020, Allied signed a purchase agreement to acquire a Nevada state license and had a 9800 sq ft. modular building built in Nevada as well. Allied signed a 25 year lease with a publicly listed company called FIORE cannabis. In December 2022, FIORE cannabis went insolvent so the business assets were seized by the debt holders of that company. The Allied building was on that land. Needless to say the lease was cancelled and Allied submitted an application to gain possession of the building back and have it be excluded from the bankruptcy proceedings of FIORE. This is now the subject of litigation in the state of Nevada. The property was sold at auction to the debt holder who has claimed that the building is part of the acquisition. We filed to have the court determine that the building belongs to the Company and/or the business that funded the acquisition of the building. This has become the subject of extensive negotiations between the parties which is continuing as of the date of this Report.
We are not aware of any other legal proceedings contemplated by any governmental authority or any other party involving us or our properties.
