YEAR 2021
ACCOUNTING POLICIES MANUAL
NATURECEUTICALSRX S.A.S. is a leading company in the cultivation of cannabis and production of oil and
derivatives for medicinal purposes that seeks to improve the health and welfare of people and seeks to
return to human beings their relationship with nature.
It is a text that establishes, for each item, the criteria for recognition, initial measurement, subsequent
measurement and disclosures of the different items of the Financial Statements:
Recognition answers the question "WHEN?" is recognized. An item is recognized when it meets the
definition of an asset, liability, equity, income or expense, as appropriate.
It is probable that any economic benefit associated with the item coming to or leaving the company.
The item has a cost or value that can be measured reliably (i.e., when it is complete, neutral and free of
error).
Subsequent measurement may be at cost, revalued cost, fair value, net realizable value, recoverable
value.
ASSETS
Only controlled resources resulting from past events that contribute to generating future economic
benefits are recognized as assets.
PAST EVENTS: No expense is deferred when a good or service has been CONSUMED, i.e., when the
beneficiary of the payment has already recognized revenue. In this sense, expenses will not be
recognized as "deferred assets".
This treatment applies to concepts such as contributions to superintendencies, property tax (impuesto
predial), equity tax (impuesto al patrimonio), training expenses. Only the "Deferred" income tax debit
may be recognized as deferred.) NO DEFERRED CHARGES (expenses) SHALL BE RECOGNIZED.
The only deferred asset will be the deferred income tax arising from deductible temporary differences.
INTANGIBLES: Intangibles formed by the COMPANY itself (internal goodwill), such as Good Will, Know
How, trademarks, patents, etc., are not recognized, even if they are registered and valued (IAS 38,
paragraphs 48 and 63), nor will those expenditures of previous periods be recognized as assets (IAS 38, p
71), IFRS SMEs 18.4, -They were income for third parties in previous periods. 9160916
ADVANCE PAYMENTS: Assets are recognized when in a contract (verbal or written) an ADVANCE
PAYMENT is made and THE COMPANY has not received the good or service (IAS 38, p 12b) and IFRS
SMEs 18.1 (b).
In that case, the payee has a LIABILITY and THE COMPANY has a receivable - Prepaid expenses - (IAS 1, p
78b), IFRS SMEs 4.2
INVESTMENT PROPERTY: When it is demonstrated that an asset will be converted into CASH via use or
via SALE, it is recognized as an asset. Unused assets shall be classified as Investment Property - Movable
and immovable property (IAS 8, p 10 and 10.4 of the IFRS for SMEs).
REVENUE: Revenue is recognized only when goods are delivered and/or services are rendered and all
risks and rewards have been transferred to the customer.
All revenue items of THE COMPANY (its revenue is based on the sale of drugs and/or continuing
education services). It should be invoiced immediately in order to avoid that the income is recognized in
a period different from that of the delivery and transfer of the risks associated with the transaction in
question.
LIABILITIES
NATURECEUTICALSRX will recognize as liabilities the obligations, product of past events, with respect to
which it can be proven that there will be an outflow of future economic benefits.
PAST EVENTS: A liability is only recognized WHEN THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED a good or service (IAS
37, p 18 and Conceptual Framework paragraph 4.46). NATURECEUTICALSRX will NOT recognize
provisions for future events or for signed and unexecuted contracts.
A liability is only recognized WHEN THERE IS AN ACTUAL THIRD PARTY to whom it is owed at the present
time (IAS 37, p 20).
Liabilities are only recognized when they meet the other conditions and when it is more than 50%
probable (can be proven) that a disbursement will actually be made (NO contingencies can be
recognized). Contingencies will not be recognized for lawsuits, unless there is certification of the status
of the process indicating that the probability of losing is greater than 50% or when there is a judgment
against in the first instance.
Costs and expenses payable incurred at the end of the period, such as social benefits, will be recognized
as Accrued Obligations and not as provisions.
NATURECEUTICALSRX SAS, in order to have standard guidelines that facilitate the processing of
accounting information collected in a given period, and process the information to prepare the financial
statements of economic events, will use any of the following general accounting policies mentioned
below:
Management is primarily responsible for ensuring that these financial statements are prepared and
presented in accordance with the requirements of IFRS for SMEs.
Accounting assumptions
NATURECEUTICALSRX SAS. To prepare its financial statements, it structures them under the following
accounting assumptions:
Accrual basis
NATURECEUTICALSRX will recognize the effects of transactions and other events when they occur (and
not when money or other cash equivalent is received or paid); likewise, they will be recorded in the
accounting books and reported in the statements of the periods to which they relate.
b) Business in progress
The entity prepares its financial statements on the basis that it is in operation and will continue its
operating activities for the foreseeable future. If there is a need to liquidate or cut significantly the scale
of the company's operations, such statements shall be prepared on a different basis and, if so,
information about the basis used in them shall be disclosed.
Basis of measurement
In order to determine the monetary amounts when recognizing the elements of the financial
statements, the entity shall measure them according to the following bases:
a) Historical cost
For the assets of NATURECEUTICALSRX SAS, the historical cost will be the amount of cash or cash
equivalents paid, or the fair value of the consideration given to acquire the asset at the time of
acquisition. For the entity's liabilities, the historical cost will be registered at the value of the proceeds
received in exchange for incurring the debt or, for the amounts of cash and other equivalent items
expected to be paid to satisfy the corresponding debt, in the normal course of the operation.
b) Fair value
NATURECEUTICALSRX shall recognize fair value as the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or
a liability settled, between an interested and knowledgeable, willing buyer and seller in an arm's length
transaction.
Qualitative characteristics
NATURECEUTICALSRX, when preparing its financial statements, will apply qualitative characteristics to
the financial information, so that it can be adapted to the common needs of the different users, in order
to promote the fulfillment of the entity's objectives and ensure efficiency in the use of such information.
Functional currency
The entity shall express in the headings of the financial statements the use of the functional currency,
which is the COP (Colombian Peso).
a) Fair presentation
The company shall present reasonably and fairly the financial position, financial performance and cash
flows, disclosing additional information necessary to improve the reasonableness of the information.
The entity shall prepare its financial statements based on the International Financial Reporting Standard
for Small and Medium-Sized Entities (IFRS for SMEs), which is the adopted reference framework.
c) Frequency of reporting

statement of financial position; a statement of comprehensive income; a statement of changes in
equity; a statement of cash flows; and notes to the company's significant policies.
The notes to the financial statements shall be presented in a systematic manner, making reference to
the company's background, compliance with international standards, similar items that have relative
importance shall be presented separately, the nature of its operations and main activities; the legal
domicile; its legal form, including the provision or provisions of law relevant to its creation or operation
and other brief information on fundamental changes referring to increases or decreases in its productive
capacity, among others.

c. Additional information supporting the line items presented in the financial statements in the same
order in which each statement and each line item is presented; and
To ensure that the note is complete, you should review the balance sheet and income statement for
each major presentation item, and verify the disclosure of the accounting policy.
Changes in accounting policies, methods and practices should be disclosed and the effect on the
financial statements should be disclosed, and their treatment is governed by section 10 of the IFRS for
SMEs.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL
POSITION
An entity shall present the asset and liability elements of the statement of financial position, classified as
current and non-current assets and liabilities as separate categories. (Section 4, p.4.4).
An asset is classified as current when it meets the following criteria: (Section 4, p.4.5).
The asset will be caused within twelve months after the reporting date.
It is cash or a cash equivalent, unless its use is restricted and it cannot be exchanged or used to settle a
liability for a period of at least twelve months after the reporting date.
An entity classifies all other assets as non-current. When the normal operating cycle is not clearly
identifiable, its duration shall be assumed to be twelve months. (Section 4, p. 4.6)
The liability must be settled within twelve months after the reporting date;
The entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve
months after the reporting date.
The enterprise shall classify all other liabilities as non-current. ( Section 4, p.4.8)
ASSETS
I. OBJECTIVE
To match the accounting balance of the bank account with the values that appear in the statements
issued by banks and similar entities that manage the COMPANY's resources in checking and savings
accounts, in administration and payment trusts, deposits, investment funds and other resources that
meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents. That is to say, resources on demand, with high
liquidity, low risk of variation in their value and convertible into cash in less than 3 months.
II. SCOPE
This policy shall apply to cash and cash equivalents originated in the manufacture and sale of medicines,
in the rendering of services or in other activities carried out by THE COMPANY and everything related to
its corporate purpose.
III. GUIDELINES
Acknowledgement:
NATURECEUTICALSRX will keep its accounting records in functional currency represented by the $COP
(Colombian Peso).
The value contained in coins and bills kept in the COMPANY shall be recognized as cash on hand when:
Highly liquid short-term investments, which are easily convertible into determined amounts of cash,
being subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their value, will be recognized as cash equivalents, for
example, securities deposited in trust entities or securities intermediaries that manage resources
destined to the payment of suppliers, as well as open collective portfolios.
Measurement:
Cash shall be measured by the value certified by the actual counts of coins and bills contained in boxes
THE COMPANY. Differences will be accounted for as accounts receivable to the person responsible for
their handling and administration.
Recognition:
NATURECEUTICALSRX shall recognize accounts receivable for credit sales and for any transaction it
performs in pursuit of its object and which present collection rights by THE COMPANY.
Initial measurement:
The measurement of revenue from ordinary activities and accounts receivable will be at the value to be
received.
Subsequent Measurement:
Accounts receivable will subsequently be measured at transaction cost for the value of drugs sold or
services rendered in the event that the portfolio falls outside the parameters established in normal
times will be measured at amortized cost under the effective interest method. (Section 11, p. 11.14, At
the end of each reporting period, an entity shall measure financial instruments as follows, without
deducting transaction costs that it may incur on sale or other disposition:
Debt instruments that meet the conditions in paragraph 11.8 shall.
An impairment of accounts receivable, individually or as a group, is recognized if, and only if, there is
objective evidence of impairment as a result of the existence of duly documented risks such as the
expiration of the normal payment period.
Losses expected as a result of future events, regardless of their probability, are not recognized.
Objective evidence that an asset or group of assets is impaired includes observable information on the
following loss-causing events, which should be observed by general management.
Accounting policies for the allowance for doubtful accounts or impairment of value
This accounting policy applies to the following accounts receivable held by THE COMPANY:
This accounting policy does not apply to the accounts of Advances and Advances given, which are not
considered accounts receivable under the International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS, because
they do not generate the right to receive cash or another financial instrument. Neither does it apply to
advances made for the payment of taxes, since they would not present a delay in their payment.
The accounting area assesses annually whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or
group of financial assets is impaired.
An account receivable or group of accounts receivable is impaired and an impairment loss has occurred
if, and only if, given the occurrence of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of
the asset and that event or events causing the loss have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of
the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably assessed.
The accounting area will analyze annually, the following events that correspond to objective evidence
that an account receivable or a group of them are possibly impaired:
Significant financial difficulties of the debtor; understanding that they are in liquidation, concordat,
restructuring and intervention.
Violations of contractual clauses, such as defaults or late payments according to each group, as follows:
THE COMPANY for economic or legal reasons related to financial difficulties of the debtor, grants
concessions or advantages that it would not have granted under other circumstances;
If one (1) of the aforementioned indicators is met, there will be evidence that the account receivable or
accounts receivable have lost value and the corresponding loss will be recognized.
THE COMPANY will first evaluate whether there is objective evidence of value impairment for the
accounts receivable, based on the following procedure:
INDIVIDUAL ANALYSIS: This evaluation will be made to those accounts receivable that are individually
significant. NATURECEUTICALSRX will consider an account receivable individually significant when it
exceeds 1 Minimum Legal Monthly Minimum Wage in Force (SMLMV), and which in turn presents the
following maturity:
Accounts receivable from domestic customers with maturity over 360 days.
Sundry debtors: define whether they have impairment and their due date.
Other debtors: define whether they are impaired and their days to maturity.
Likewise, those accounts receivable that show signs of impairment will be evaluated individually.
Objective:
To recognize as investments only securities and to value them reasonably.
Recognition:
Marketable financial instruments or "Investments at Fair Value through Profit or Loss" will be recognized
as marketable financial instruments or "Investments at Fair Value through Profit or Loss" will be
recognized for publicly traded equity or debt securities.
Shares and other equity securities that are not of low or no marketability (not listed on stock exchanges)
will be recognized as Available-for-Sale financial instruments or "At Fair Value through Equity (Other
Comprehensive Income)".
Initial measurement:
"Marketable" instruments will be measured at fair value. Transaction costs, such as commissions, are
expenses, are not added to cost, but are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are
acquired.
Instruments "Available-for-Sale" or "At Fair Value through Equity (Other Comprehensive Income)" will
be measured at cost, including transaction costs.
Subsequent Measurement:
"Marketable" or "Investments at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss" investments will be measured at
their Level 1 Fair Value, i.e., their value on a stock exchange or other "active market" as indicated by a
duly authorized commission merchant or price vendor. (Depends on those indicated in the initial
measurement).
Financial instruments that are not listed as CDTS will be measured at fair value in Level 2, i.e., according
to the price of a similar instrument or by other methods of recognized technical value. In any case, the
results of the year are not affected, but the variations are recognized as a higher or lower value of equity
(of the Other Comprehensive Income). The balancing entry of adjustments is a higher or lower value of
the financial instrument, without affecting valuation accounts of valuations or provisions.
4. INVENTORY ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
The following inventory policies are applicable to the company NATURECEUTICALSRX SAS, which does
not carry out agricultural activities and which are part of other standards or policies for their accounting
purposes
Initial measurement
The acquisition cost of raw materials shall include the purchase price, import duties and other taxes (not
recoverable later from the tax authorities), transportation, storage, handling and other costs directly
attributable to the acquisition of the materials.
Where the acquisition cost of materials includes discounts, rebates and other similar items, these shall
be deducted in determining such cost. (Section 13, p.13.6)
Where the company purchases inventories on a deferred payment basis, if the purchase agreement
contains a financing element such as, for example, the difference between the purchase price on normal
credit terms and the amount paid, this element is recognized as interest expense over the financing
period.
Subsequent measurement
The entity at the end of each reporting period determines whether inventories are impaired, i.e. if the
carrying amount is not fully recoverable (e.g. due to damage, obsolescence), the inventory is measured
at the lower of cost or net realizable value. This is at selling price less costs to complete and sell and an
impairment loss is recognized. (Section 13, p.13.19)
Work-in-process inventories
The costs of processing inventories shall include: direct labor, systematic allocation of variable or fixed
indirect production costs incurred.(Section 13, p.13.8)
The following shall be recognized as fixed indirect production costs: depreciation and maintenance of
the factory building and equipment, as well as the cost of management and administration of the plant.
(Section 13, p.13.8)
Initial measurement
The company shall measure its finished goods inventories at cost, which shall include all production
costs necessary for the completion of the product. (Section 13, p.13.16)
Inventories shall be classified and included in the statement of financial position as current assets, since
the finished product is held for trading purposes. (Section 4, p.4.5)
Subsequent measurement
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell,
i.e. net realizable value. (Section 13, p.13.4)
NATURECEUTICALSRX shall use the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for inventory costing (Section 13,
p.13.18).
A physical inventory shall be taken at the end of each accounting period for each item.
The financial statements shall disclose: The cost formula used to measure inventories, the total carrying
amount of inventories and the carrying amounts according to the appropriate classification for the
entity, the amount of inventories recognized as an expense during the period. (Section 13, p.13.22)
Shall be shown separately amounts of inventories: held for sale in the normal course of operations, in
process of production to be subsequently sold, in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in
the production process. (Section 4, p.4.11 (c))
NATURECEUTICALSRX, will assess at each reporting date whether there has been an impairment of
inventories by making a comparison between the carrying value of each inventory item with its selling
price less costs to complete and sell.
Upon performing the above assessment, if the inventory reflects an impairment, the carrying amount of
the inventory is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell, and this impairment loss is
recognized in profit or loss. (Section 27, p.27.2)
Subsequent measurement
An entity shall measure at each subsequent reporting period the selling price less costs to complete and
sell inventories.
When an increase in value is identified in the selling price less costs to complete and sell, the amount of
impairment recognized shall be reversed. (Section 27, p. 27.4)
The financial statements shall disclose: The amount of impairment losses recognized or reversed
through profit or loss during the period (Section 13, p.13.22).

production or supply of goods and are expected to be used for more than one accounting period.
(Section 17, p.17.2)
NATURECEUTICALSRX shall recognize an asset as an item of property, plant and equipment if it is
probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured
reliably. (Section 17, p.17.4)
Initial Measurement
The company shall initially measure property, plant and equipment at cost, which shall comprise the
acquisition price (legal and brokerage fees, import duties and recoverable taxes, after deducting trade
discounts and rebates), the costs attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition
necessary for it to be capable of operating as intended; and the initial estimate of costs of dismantling or
removing an asset, as well as the rehabilitation of the site on which it is located, shall form part of the
initial estimate of costs of dismantling or removing an asset. (Section 17, p.17.9 and 17.10).
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be the cash equivalent price at the date of
recognition. If payment is deferred beyond normal credit terms, the entity shall measure the cost of
property, plant and equipment at the present value of all future payments (Section 17, p.17.13).

ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ACCOUNTS
NATURECEUTICALSRX will recognize current and future tax consequences and other events that have
been recognized in the financial statements. These recognized tax amounts comprise deferred tax,
which is the tax payable (liability) or recoverable (asset) in future periods generally as a result of the
entity recovering or settling its assets and liabilities for their current carrying amounts, and the tax effect
of offsetting hitherto unused tax losses or credits from prior periods. (Section 29, p.29.2)
Initial Measurement
A deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for the tax recoverable or payable in future periods as a
result of past transactions or events. This tax arises from the difference between the amounts
recognized for the entity's assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and their
recognition by the tax authorities, and the offsetting of unused tax losses or credits from prior periods.
(Section 29, p.29.9)
The enterprise shall recognize: (a) a deferred tax liability for all temporary differences that are expected
to increase taxable profit in the future. (b) a deferred tax asset for all temporary differences that are

the period in which the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the rates that at the end of
the reporting period have been enacted or substantively enacted.
Subsequent measurement
A valuation adjustment is recognized for deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the
maximum amount that is likely to be recovered based on current or future taxable profit. The net
carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each reporting date and the valuation allowance
is adjusted to reflect the current assessment of future taxable profit. (Section 29, p.29.21 and 29.22)
