The Company, through its First Towers & Fiber Corp. subsidiary, which has 30 cellular towers deployed and generating revenue in Mexico, is a preferred contractor of Altán Redes, which, through Mexico’s telecommunications infrastructure project, under the Red Compartida initiative, is building a wholesale LTE/4G (and progressively 5G-ready) network that is expected to reach the vast majority of the Mexican population. The network is contracted to cover approximately 92.2% of Mexico’s population through its open access shared wireless network using the 700 MHz band. Over 11,383 telecommunications towers have been installed as a result of the Red Compartida project, and the deployment has delivered internet service access to 82,178 localities.
The full scale of the Red Compartida project is underpinned by a contract and capital investment expected to exceed USD $7 billion over the life of the concession.

These forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, financial condition, business strategies and plans, market opportunity, competitive position, industry environment, and potential growth opportunities.

You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, they are inherently subject to significant business, competitive, economic, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including, among others, those discussed in this Report on Form 6-K under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including under the headings “Risk Factors”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business”, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including among other things:

● | changes in cannabis laws, regulations and guidelines; |

● | risks associated with product recalls; |
● | the viability of our product offerings; |
● | our ability to attract and retain skilled personnel; |

● | regulatory compliance risks; |
● | risks inherent in an agricultural business and in the other businesses in which we operate; |

The forward-looking statements contained in this Report on Form 6-K are not guarantees of future performance, and our actual results of operations and financial condition may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. In addition, even if our results of operations and financial condition are consistent with the forward-looking statements in this Report on Form 6-K, they may not be predictive of results or developments in future periods.
All forward-looking statements included herein attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.

See the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above.

OVERVIEW
Our fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. Unless otherwise noted, references to year pertain to our fiscal year. For example, 2024 refers to fiscal 2024 which is the period from January 1, 2024 and to December 31, 2024.
Our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 for Akanda Corp. as a group (the “Akanda Group”), have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are presented in millions of US dollars except where otherwise indicated. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that should be expected in any future period.
We have derived the consolidated statements of operations data for Akanda Group for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and the consolidated financial position information as at June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were derived from Akanda Group’s Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements to be published as Exhibit 99.1 of Form 6-K.
Akanda was incorporated in the Province of Ontario, Canada on July 16, 2021 in connection with the plan of Halo to reorganize its medical cannabis market focused international business assets. On November 3, 2021, Akanda acquired Cannahealth, which owned all the issued and outstanding equity interests of Canmart and Bophelo Holdings, which, in turn, owned all the issued and outstanding equity interests of Bophelo. As a result of such acquisition, both Bophelo and Canmart became our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. On April 29, 2022, Akanda Group, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cannahealth, acquired Holigen, which owned all the issued and outstanding equity interests of RPK Biopharma, Unipessoal, LDA, a company incorporated under the laws of Portugal (“RPK”). As a result of the acquisition, RPK became our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary. We have consolidated all our then-subsidiary companies, Cannahealth in Malta, Bophelo in the UK, Canmart in the UK, Holigen in Portugal, and 1371011 B.C. Ltd in Canada, in the Akanda Group Audited Financial Statements and financial information presented on June 30, 2025.
As a result of Bophelo’s liquidation, during the year ended December 31, 2022, Bophelo ceased operations and we derecognized its assets and have since determined that it is no longer a significant subsidiary. We will continue to report about Bophelo, until such time as our inquiry into the liquidation confirms that the process is complete. In March 2024, Akanda Group sold RPK.
On March 5, 2025, as amended on March 31, 2025 and August 19, 2025, Akanda Group entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (as so amended, the “SEA”) with First Towers & Fiber Corp. (“First Towers”), pursuant to which (a) all of the common shares of First Towers shall be exchanged for newly authorized Class A Special Shares and Class B Special Shares and cash payable over time as evidenced by a promissory note, and the restructuring and assumption of certain indebtedness of First Towers (the “Business Combination”). On August 21, 2025, Akanda Group closed the Business Combination. See “Business Combination.”
On August 26, 2025, Akanda Group implemented a 1-for-3.125 Reverse Stock Split on its common shares. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded to the nearest whole number. All share and per share data in this management’s discussion and analysis and the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 have been retroactively restated to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.

Revenue
Akanda Group’s revenue came from Canmart in UK. Canmart sells a variety of different CBPM product types, including cannabis oil and cannabis flower for medical use. In May 2025, Akanda Group commenced the dissolution of Canmart and ceased all operations in the UK. As a result, all operating results of Canmart has been reclassified as a discontinued operations and thus no revenues were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
4
Cost of Sales
Akanda Group’s cost of sales is directly related to the associated cost of CBPMs imported by Canmart and supplied to its patients. As a result of Canmart’s dissolution, no cost of sales were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Amortization and Depreciation
Amortization and depreciation expenses decreased from $102,051 for 2024 to $84,788 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in the amortization and depreciation expenses recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was mainly due to the new office lease having lower monthly lease payments as compared to the previous lease resulting for lower monthly depreciation of ROU assets.
Consulting and Professional Fees
The consulting and professional fees incurred decreased from $1,510,663 in 2024 to $863,287 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease in consulting and professional fees resulted from the decreased corporate activity including the completion of one private financing during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to higher activities in the same period of the previous year, mainly on the engagement of various professional advisors and consultants in relation to Akanda Group’s plans for completion of assets acquisition and disposal of RPK and completion of several public offerings and listings.
Personnel Expenses
The Akanda Group incurred personnel expenses of $226,822 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $209,106 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in personnel expenses was due to the changes in management and key personnel during the current period resulting in higher fees paid or accrued to the current management team of Akanda and its subsidiaries in the current period.
General and Administration Expenses
The Akanda Group incurred general and administration expenses of $315,859 and $337,948 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These costs consisted mainly of a broad range of site related operational expenses such as utilities, fuel costs, import duties, security expenses, repairs and maintenance and consumables and office related operational expenses for its day to day business activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, these costs decreased compared to the same period in the prior year mainly due to decreased marketing and promotional activities of Akanda Group and lower financings completed in the current period.
Interest Expense
The Akanda Group incurred interest expense of $17,749 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to interest expense of $62,192 for 2024. The significant decrease in the interest expense was primarily due to the full settlement of several interest-bearing loans during the current period which resulted to lower interest expenses paid and accrued during the current period as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Foreign Currency Translation
The foreign exchange gain (loss) is recognized on the translation of the consolidated financial statements from their functional currencies to United States Dollar. The Euro is the functional currency of Cannahealth and Holigen, Great British Pounds is the functional currency of Canmart and Canadian dollars is the functional currency of Akanda and 1371011 B.C. Ltd., while the United States Dollar is its reporting currency. The exchange gains and losses have not been incurred on any transactions or balances held by these companies in a different currency.

Net Loss and Total Comprehensive Loss
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Akanda Group incurred a net loss of $815,001, and $2,682,890, respectively, and a comprehensive loss of $692,857 and $2,546,760, respectively, which consisted primarily of depreciation and amortization of $84,788 and $102,051, respectively, consulting and professional fee expenses of $863,287 and $1,510,663, respectively, personnel expenses of $226,822, and $209,106, respectively, general and administrative expenses of $315,859 and $337,948, respectively, and gain from discontinued operations of $589,292 and loss of $405,582, respectively. The significant decrease in loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in the previous year was mainly due to the lower operating results of Akanda incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Akanda did not have, during the reporting period, and we do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditure or capital resources that is material to investors.

v. | Convertible Note Transaction: |
On September 12, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated September 11, 2025 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Selling Stockholders, to issue and sell to each of the Selling Stockholders a convertible promissory note (each, individually, a “September Note” and collectively, the “September Notes”), for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $12,000,000, before deducting fees to the Placement Agent (as defined below) and other expenses payable by the Company in connection with the offering (the “September Offering”). The closing of the September Offering occurred on September 12, 2025.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the September Notes for (i) marketing purposes of up to $3.5 million, (ii) for the renewal and continued development of the Company’s Gabriola, B.C. site, (iii) working capital and general corporate purposes of up $3 million and (iv) up to $7 million to be used for the repayment of certain indebtedness. Subsequent to the closing of the September Offering, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with IR Agency LLC (the “IR Consulting Agreement”), for IR Agency to provide six months of marketing and advertising services to the Company for a fee of $3.5 million, payable in advance. A copy of the IR Consulting Agreement is attached to this Report on Form 6-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Univest Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) acted as placement agent for the September Offering.
The maturity date of each September Note is the 12-month anniversary of the issuance date of such September Note, and is the date upon which the principal amount, as well as any other fees, shall be due and payable. The September Notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum.
Each Selling Stockholder has the right, at any time, to convert all or any portion of the then outstanding and unpaid principal amount and interest if any (including any costs, fees and charges) into the Company’s common shares at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) equal to the lower of (i) $2.88 per share (the “Initial Conversion Price”), (ii) 85% of the VWAP (as defined in the September Notes) of the common shares during the five consecutive Trading Day (as defined in the September Notes) period ending and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the delivery of the Conversion Notice (as defined in the September Notes); or (iii) 85% of the Closing Sale Price (as defined in the September Notes) on the Trading Day prior to the Conversion Notice being submitted; provided, however, that in no event shall the Conversion Price equal a price per share that is less than $0.678.
In addition, the Company entered into an engagement letter with the Placement Agent dated August 11, 2025, pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to serve as the placement agent for the issuance and sale of securities of the Company. As compensation for such placement agent services, the Company has agreed to pay the Placement Agent an aggregate cash fee equal to 2.5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the Offering, plus $50,000 for its fees and expenses. Accordingly, the Company paid the Placement Agent $300,000 in cash fees in relation to the September Offering.
vi. | Amendment to Option Agreement with 1107385 B.C. Ltd: |
On September 24, 2025, the Company entered an Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Option to Purchase (the “Amendment”) with 1107385 B.C. LTD (the “Owner”).

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
1. | Nature of Operations and Going Concern |
Akanda Corp. (the “Company”) is domiciled in Canada and was incorporated on July 16, 2021. The Company’s registered office is 77 King Street West, Suite 400, Toronto-Dominion Centre, Toronto Canada, Ontario, M5K 0A1.
Prior to the liquidation event on July 15, 2022 described below, the Company, through its indirectly held subsidiary, Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. is in the business of cultivating and manufacturing cannabis biomass and medical cannabis products in Lesotho (specifically near Ts’akholo, in the Mafeteng district of the Kingdom of Lesotho, Southern Africa), for export to international markets. At December 31, 2022, the Company determined that it no longer controlled Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. as a result of the insolvent liquidation order signed by the Lesotho Court on July 15, 2022 (note 21). As a result of the loss of control, the Company derecognized all assets and liabilities at their book values on December 31, 2022 and wrote down all balances receivable from the entity to $nil. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a loss on loss of control of Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. of $2,085,624, which included $739,947 of cash held by Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. The Company accounted for the operating results of Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. as a discontinued operation during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. At the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company believes that the liquidation of Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. is still ongoing.
The Company was incorporated for the designed purpose of becoming the ultimate parent company of Cannahealth Ltd. (“Cannahealth”), through a reorganization of entities with common control. The share purchase agreement became unconditional on or about November 3, 2021 and the Company acquired the shares in the aforementioned entities from Halo Collective Inc. (“Halo”).
On April 29, 2022, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cannahealth, acquired 100% of the Ordinary Shares of Holigen Limited (“Holigen”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, RPK Biopharma Unipessoal, LDA (“RPK”) from the Flowr Corporation (note 4).
On February 28, 2024, the Company incorporated a new subsidiary – 1468243 B.C. Ltd.
On March 24, 2024, the Company completed the transaction with Somai Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (“Somai”) for the sale of RPK (note 5). The Company accounted for the operating results of RPK which was a net loss of $827,620 as a discontinued operation during the year ended December 31, 2024 and has reclassified the operating results of RPK as a discontinued operation for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Prior to the liquidation event on May 30, 2025 described below, the Company, through its subsidiary Canmart Ltd. (“Canmart”), is also in the business of sales and distribution of cannabis-based products for medical use, which is based in the United Kingdom (“UK”). During the first quarter of 2025, the Company evaluated the current state of Canmart and has determined to discontinue and cease it UK operation. The Company filed for creditor’s voluntary liquidation and had the winding up commenced on May 30, 2025 (note 6). As at June 30, 2025, the Company no longer controlled Canmart and derecognized all assets and liabilities at their book values on May 30, 2025 and wrote down all balances to $nil. The Company accounted for the operating results of Canmart which was a net loss of $26,013 as a discontinued operation during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and has reclassified the operating results of Canmart as a discontinued operation for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company incurred a net cash outflow of $375,604 from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had working capital of $724,276 and has accumulated losses of $58,253,006. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to raise further cash funding by way of issuing debt and/or equity.

Akanda Corp.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
1. | Nature of Operations and Going Concern (continued) |
The Company is an early-stage company and is primarily dependent on externally provided financing to continue as a going concern. Additional funds will be required to enable the Company to pursue such an initiative and the Company may be unable to obtain such financing on satisfactory terms. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be profitable. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with its cash on hand, and/or additional cash that will be generated from operations. The Company does not at this stage have any firm plans or commitments regarding further financing.
These uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities which might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
2. | Basis of Preparation |
(a) | Statement of compliance |
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting and have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of application as those used in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
(b) | Basis of preparation |
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis, except for cash flow information, and are based on the historical cost, modified where applicable and related to the valuation of certain financial assets and financial liabilities to fair value.
(c) | Functional and presentation currency |
The Company and its subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each subsidiary operates - the functional currency. The Euro is the functional currency of Holigen and Cannahealth, Great British Pounds is the functional currency of Canmart and Canadian Dollars is the functional currency of 1371011 and Akanda while the United States Dollars is its reporting currency.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared and presented in United States Dollars (“USD” or “$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency. All financial information has been rounded to the nearest dollar except where indicated otherwise.

(Expressed in United States Dollars)
2. | Basis of Preparation (continued) |
(d) | Use of estimates and judgments |
The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses during the year. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Areas in which management has made critical judgments in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements include the determination of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ functional currencies. Information about key assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is presented in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
3. | Material Accounting Policies |
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required of the audited annual financial statements and are intended to provide users with an update in relation to events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the financial position and performance of the Company since the end of the last annual reporting period. The accounting policies followed in these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s most recent audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. Therefore, it is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Certain new IFRS standards and interpretations have been issued but are not shown as they are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
4. | Business Combination |
On April 29, 2022, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cannahealth, acquired 100% of the Ordinary Shares of Holigen and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, RPK from the Flowr Corporation (“Flowr”). Consideration for the acquisition consisted of a payment of $3,000,000 in cash and 760 common shares of the Company’s share capital. Of the total cash purchase price, $2,600,000 has been paid and $400,000 as holdback payable. The holdback payable represents funds withheld until resolution of a potential liability between the vendor and a service provider, of which the Company expects resolution within the next twelve (12) months.
The purchase of Holigen has been accounted for by the acquisition method, with the results of Holigen included in the Company’s results of operation from the date of acquisition. The purchase of Holigen was determined as being a business combination in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 3 - Business Combinations, due to the fact that the Company acquired control over Holigen on the acquisition date through the purchase of 100% of its voting securities and consequent transfer of the purchase consideration to the sellers of the Holigen, namely Flowr.
On February 28, 2024, the Company signed a definitive Share Purchase Agreement and Escrow Agreement with Somai Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (“Somai”), pursuant to which Somai will acquire RPK for a total consideration of $2,000,000. The transaction was completed during the year ended December 31, 2024 (note 5).

Status of Holigen’s seller
In October 2022, Flowr commenced Court-supervised restructuring proceedings under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”) in order to receive a stay of proceedings that will allow Flowr to conduct a Sale and Investment Solicitation Process (“SISP”). The Court granted an Initial Order in these CCAA proceedings and appointed Ernst & Young Inc. as ‘the Monitor’.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, Flowr completed the sale of all of the shares of its subsidiaries, The Flowr Group (Okanagan) Inc. and certain other assets, comprising substantially all of the assets of Flowr. As a result, and pursuant to an Order dated July 21, 2023, the Monitor completed cash and share distributions to Flowr’s debenture holders. There is no recovery available for Flowr’s unsecured creditors and shareholders. For this reason, the Company recognized a write-off of holdback payable of $400,000 during the year ended December 31, 2024.
5. | Sale of RPK |
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company commenced plans to sell its subsidiary - RPK, and on March 24, 2024, pursuant to the signed definitive Share Purchase Agreement and Escrow Agreement with Somai in February 2024, the Company completed the transaction with Somai for the sale of RPK.
Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, Somai acquired RPK for a total cash consideration of Two Million United States Dollars ($2,000,000). In addition, Somai assumed up to One Million Euros of current liabilities and RPK’s debt with the senior secured lender Bank, Caixa Agricola. In total, Somai assumed approximately 4,000,000 Euros of debt. In accordance with the agreement, a deposit of Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($500,000) was released from a joint escrow account and the remainder of the purchase price was paid directly to the Company.
In connection with the closing, the Company paid a cash finder’s fee for an aggregate of $446,250.
The Company recognized a gain on sale of subsidiary of $198,780 in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The gain on sale was computed as follows:

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company evaluated the current state of Canmart and has determined to discontinue and cease it UK operation.

Determination of Fair Values
IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
Level 2 – | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing. |

18. | Risks Arising from Financial Instruments and Risk Management |
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange and interest rate risks), credit risk and liquidity risk. Risk management is the responsibility of the Company, which identifies, evaluates and, where appropriate, mitigates financial risks.
(a) | Market risk |
Foreign exchange risk: is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows for financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any foreign exchange hedging contracts. The Company is exposed to currency risk from the British Pound (“GBP”), Euro (“EUR”) and Canadian dollar (“CAD”) through the following foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities:

Based on the above net exposures as at June 30, 2025, assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 5% appreciation or deterioration of the USD against the GBP would result in a corresponding increase or decrease, respectively on the Company’s net income of approximately $nil (December 31, 2024 – $2,000), EUR – $6,000 (December 31, 2024 – $5,000) and CAD – $39,000 (December 31, 2024 – $85,000).
(b) | Credit risk |
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a partner or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligation and arises principally from the Company’s cash and accounts receivable. The carrying amounts of the financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on cash by placing these financial instruments with high-credit quality financial institutions.
At December 31, 2024, the Company was subject to a concentration of credit risk related to its accounts receivable as 74% of the balance of amounts owing is from two customers. The Company did not record any bad debt expense during the years ended December 31, 2024. As at December 31, 2024, the expected credit lifetime credit losses for accounts receivable aged as current were nominal amounts. The Company considers a financial asset in default when internal or external information indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
At June 30, 2025, the Company was no longer subject to any concentration of credit risk related to accounts receivable due to the Company having no trade receivables during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

18. | Risks Arising from Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued) |
(c) | Liquidity risk |
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows, as well as anticipated investing and financing activities and to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities and commitments when due and to fund future operations. The Company’s trade and other payables are due within the current operating year.
19. | Capital Management |
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to continue the business of the Company. The Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, will balance its overall capital structure through new share and warrant issuances, granting of stock options, the issuance of debt or by undertaking other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstance. The Board of Directors does not establish a 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’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide capital to pursue the development and commercialization of its products. In the management of capital, the Company includes cash, short-term debt and capital. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares or new debt.
At the current stage of the Company’s development, in order to maximize its current business activities, the Company does not pay out dividends. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
The Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains unchanged for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024.
20. | Segmented Information |
The Company has three reportable segments: Cultivation, Distribution & Corporate. Cultivating activities which comprise the “cultivation” segment is made up of the medical cannabis cultivation operations at RPK/Holigen in Portugal up until the sale completion in March 2024 (refer to note 5). The Company has a Canadian farming property at which it has plans to develop THC and CBD facilities, which will fall under cultivation segment once cultivation has started. Distributing activities relate to the distribution of medical cannabis by Canmart Ltd in the United Kingdom up until the winding up in May 2025 (refer to note 6). Corporate activities entail head office costs and other general corporate expenses related to the administration of the broader group. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of material accounting policies. The reportable segments have been determined by management on the basis that these are strategic business units that offer different products and services. The business units in Portugal (up until the sale of subsidiary described in note 5) which fall under the cultivation segment were focused on the cultivation of medical cannabis and medical cannabis biomass respectively, while the business unit in the United Kingdom (up until the winding up described in note 6), which falls under the distribution segment, undertakes the sale and distribution of medical cannabis products. The corporate segment undertakes management and treasury services within the group and for the benefit of all group companies. They are managed separately as each business unit requires different strategies, risk management and technologies.

21. | Insolvency Proceedings |
In July 2022, the Company announced that the High Court of Lesotho (the “Lesotho Court”) has placed in liquidation the Company’s, wholly-owned subsidiary, Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. (“Bophelo”). The action to place Bophelo in liquidation was taken by the Lesotho Court pursuant to an application and request (the “Liquidation Application”) that was filed by Louisa Mojela, the former Executive Chairman of the Company, who was terminated as Executive Chairman of Akanda, and the Mophuti Matsoso Development Trust (“MMD Trust”). Akanda had intended to convene a special committee to investigate Ms. Mojela’s actions and conduct, including actions and conduct taken by her prior to her filing of the Liquidation Application, and further intended to pursue all of its available legal rights and remedies against Ms. Mojela and the MMD Trust for taking this unauthorized action. The Company also intended to contest and seek to reverse the determination by the Lesotho Court to place Bophelo in liquidation and seek to recover significant loans that it has made to Bophelo to fund the execution of Bophelo’s business plan; however, due to lack of funds and resources, the Company is not at this time actively contesting the matter and cannot give no assurance that it will do so in the future. Finally,
Ms. Mojela has been summarily terminated as Chairman of Bophelo for Cause, as a “bad leaver”, as a result of her action to seek to place Bophelo in liquidation. Ms. Mojela has instituted legal proceedings against the Company as a result of the termination of her employment. In an action taken without the Company’s knowledge, the Lesotho Court has ordered an insolvent liquidation of Bophelo, and has appointed Mr. Chavonnes Cooper of Cape Town, South Africa, as liquidator of Bophelo for purposes of maintaining the value of the assets owned or managed by Bophelo. The order was signed by the Honorable Mr. Justice Mokhesi on July 15, 2022.
At the date of these consolidated financial statements, the liquidation of Bophelo Bio Science and Wellness (Pty) Ltd. is still ongoing.
22. | Contingencies |
On October 20, 2022, Louisa Mojela filed a claim against Canmart and the Company for wrongful termination of her Service Agreement. The claimant sought £1,832,150.62 plus further administrative and legal fees. The Company denied her claim and lodged a counterclaim lodged for losses caused by the Claimant including a loan of US $6,849,935.69 (The loan we cited in the proceedings was $3m USD) Akanda advanced to Bophelo. On 31 January 2023, Mojela applied for summary judgment in respect of some but not all of these amounts. On October 30, 2023, Mojela’s entire application for summary judgment failed. On January 15, 2024, a Consequentials hearing was held at which the High Court subsequently awarded Akanda and Canmart £60,000 for legal costs. On 5 February 2024, Mojela sought permission to appeal of the summary judgment decision but her application for permission to appeal was refused on 11 April 2024. On 17 April, 2024, Mojela applied for a hearing to renew her application to appeal. In the meanwhile, proceedings are stayed as parties await the results of this hearing.
On December 2, 2024, the Company entered into a settlement agreement to settle this dispute for a sum of £100,000 ($129,705) and accounted the full amount as former management fees. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company paid the amount in full and recognized a gain on debt settlement of $9,670 in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
On April 29, 2023, Trevor Scott, former CFO of the Company, issued a claim against the Company for amounts owing under his employment agreement totaling £420,659.95. Claim has been denied in its entirety and a counter-claim lodged for losses caused by the Claimant. The final hearing conflicts with Mojela’s Consequentials hearing and thus the Company has applied to postpone it. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the parties entered into an agreement to settle this dispute for a sum of £67,392 to be paid in installment. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company paid the amount in full.

On May 15, 2023, Vidya Iyer, the Company’s former SVP of Finance issued a claim for amounts owing under her employment agreement totaling £151,774.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company paid the amount in full and recognized a gain on debt settlement of $147,437 in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
On January 29, 2024, the Company was informed that Mr. Shailesh Bhushan, the former Chief Financial Officer of the Company, filed a complaint with the Employment Standards Branch of British Columbia claiming unpaid salary and invoices in the aggregate amount of CAD $271,990 from the period December 2022 through November 2023. The Company previously offered to Mr. Bhushan an annual salary of CAD $60,000 and as such, believes the claim to be frivolous, strongly disputes the amount claimed, and intends to vigorously defend itself. On February 23, 2024, Mr. Bhushan filed a Notice of Civil Claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Akanda alleging constructive dismissal and claiming severance pay, general damages, aggravated and punitive damages, and allegedly unpaid salary and bonus. He also seeks special costs. Mr. Bhushan has named Akanda directors Jatinder Dhaliwal, Katharyn Field, David Jenkins, and Harvinder Singh as defendants, whom he alleges are personally liable for unpaid wages. The Company and the other defendants filed their Response to Civil Claim on May 2, 2024. The Company denies all liability and takes the position that Mr. Bhushan was terminated for just cause. The Company also disputes the amounts claimed, and denies that Akanda and Halo are a common employer. The proceeding is at the discovery stage.
On September 10, 2024, Dallas Dunkley filed a claim against the Company for wrongful dismissal. The Company served its Statement of Defense on November 20, 2024. The total amount claimed in the Statement of Claim is $200,000 on account of wrongful dismissal damages, damages for loss of vacation pay, and general, aggravated, and punitive damages, plus interest and costs. The Company’s position is that Mr. Dunkley was never an employee of the Company, and therefore, is not entitled to any damages. The parties intend on proceeding to mediation to explore potential settlement. Liability is undetermined at this time in light of the early stage of litigation.
23. | Proposed Business Combination |
On March 5, 2025, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “SEA”) with FTFC and the common shareholders of FTFC (the “Shareholders”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the SEA, the parties will enter into a business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”), pursuant to which, among other things, all of the common shares of FTFC (the “Exchanged Shares”) shall be exchanged for either common shares, no par value, of the Company (the “Purchaser Shares”), or cash, and FTFC shall be continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

v. | Convertible Note Transaction: |
On September 12, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated September 11, 2025 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Selling Stockholders, to issue and sell to each of the Selling Stockholders a convertible promissory note (each, individually, a “September Note” and collectively, the “September Notes”), for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $12,000,000, before deducting fees to the Placement Agent (as defined below) and other expenses payable by the Company in connection with the offering (the “September Offering”).

In addition, the Company entered into an engagement letter with the Placement Agent dated August 11, 2025, pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to serve as the placement agent for the issuance and sale of securities of the Company. As compensation for such placement agent services, the Company has agreed to pay the Placement Agent an aggregate cash fee equal to 2.5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the Offering, plus $50,000 for its fees and expenses.
