Liquidity and Solvency
The following table summarizes the Company’s cash on hand, working capital and cash flow:
As at February 28, 2018 May 31, 2017
Cash $ 9,557,204 $ 548,514
Working capital less deposits and prepaids 10,925,658 370,274
Period Ended February 28, 2018 May 31, 2017
Cash (used in) operating activities $ (3,240,052) $ (670,592)
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities (4,772,294) (41,456)
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities 17,569,550 1,115,406
Change in cash $ 9,557,204 $ 403,358
The Company is dependent on the borrowing of cash and the issuance of shares to finance its activities,
property acquisition payments and general and administrative costs. The Company will have to raise additional
funds in the future to continue its operations. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be
successful in its efforts. If such funds are not available or other sources of financing cannot be obtained, then
the Company will be forced to curtail its activities.
Capital Resources
The Company has minimal operations to generate cash flow and its long term financial success will be
dependent on the Company’s ability increase revenues, secure loans and grants and to obtain equity financing.
The Company’s next immediate step in development is to raise the capital required to continue its investment in
the Sublime and HempMed opportunities. The Company will continue to explore the other initiatives
management has or may identify.
The Company has not pledged any of its assets as security for loans, or otherwise is not subject to any debt
covenants.

Proposed Transactions
The Company does not have any proposed transactions
Critical Accounting Judgements and Estimates
During the year the Company generated revenues, some of which may be subject to collectivity. The Company
assesses the collectability of receivables on an ongoing basis. A provision for the impairment of receivables
MYM NUTRACEUTICALS INC.
7
involves significant management judgment and includes the review of individual receivables based on
individual customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and analysis of historical bad debts. As this is a
new process for the Company and given that all sales are currently on a cash basis, the amounts recorded as bad
debts for the current year are based on actual collection results.
Changes in Accounting Policies
The Company has not implemented or adopted any new standards during the quarter.
Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a number of risks arising from financial instruments.
Management’s close involvement in the operations allows for the identification of risks and variances from
expectations. The Company does not participate in the use of financial instruments to mitigate these risks and
has no designated hedging transactions. The Board approves and monitors the risk management processes. The
Board’s main objectives for managing risks are to ensure liquidity, the fulfillment of obligations, the
continuation of the Company’s exploration activities, and limited exposure to credit and market risks. There
were no changes to the objectives or the process from the prior period.
The types of risk exposure and the way in which such exposures are managed are as follows:
a) Credit Risk
Credit risk primarily arises from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable. The
risk exposure is limited to their carrying amounts at the statement of financial position date. Cash and cash
equivalents are held as cash deposits or invested in guaranteed investment certificates with various maturity
dates. The Company does not invest in asset-backed deposits or investments and does not expect any credit
losses. The Company periodically assesses the quality of its investments and is satisfied with the credit
rating of the bank and the investment grade of the guaranteed investment certificates.
b) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become
due. The Company ensures there is sufficient capital to meet short term business requirements. One of
management’s goals is to maintain an optimal level of liquidity through the active management of assets,
liabilities and cash flows.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited in major banks or invested in guaranteed
investment certificates, which are available on demand to fund the Company’s operating costs and other
financial demands.
c) Market Risk
The significant market risks to which the Company is exposed are currency and interest rate risk.
i) Currency Risk
The operating results and financial position of the Company are reported in Canadian dollars. As the
Company is exploring opportunities in an international environment, some of the Company’s financial
instruments and transactions are denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. The results
of the Company’s operations are subject to currency risk.
Many of the Company’s costs are incurred in Canada and are denominated in Canadian dollars. Foreign
currency transactions are booked at historical cost in Canadian dollars.
MYM NUTRACEUTICALS INC.
8
As at February 28, 2018, the Company is not exposed to any currency risk.
ii) Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s policy is to invest excess cash in guaranteed investment certificates at fixed or floating
rates of interest and cash equivalents are to be maintained in floating rates of interest in order to
maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return for shareholders. As at February 28, 2018, the
Company held $7,000,000 in a guaranteed investment certificate at 1.35% with a maturity date of
February 26, 2019. Fluctuations in interest rates impact the value of cash and cash equivalents. The
Company manages risk by monitoring changes in interest rates in comparison to prevailing market
rates.
Currently, the Company believes that it is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks
arising from its financial instruments.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent to the period end, 1,086,000 warrants were exercised for proceeds of $918,000.
Subsequent to the period end, 640,000 Options were granted to directors, employees and consultants and
140,000 were cancelled.
