Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation</b></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">SusGlobal Energy Corp. ("SusGlobal") was formed by articles of amalgamation on December 3, 2014, in the Province of Ontario, Canada and its executive office is in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. SusGlobal, a company in the start-up stages and Commandcredit Corp. ("Commandcredit"), an inactive Canadian public company, amalgamated to continue business under the name of SusGlobal Energy Corp.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">On May 23, 2017, SusGlobal filed an Application for Authorization to continue in another Jurisdiction with the Ministry of Government Services in Ontario and a certificate of corporate domestication and certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware under which it changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Ontario to the State of Delaware (the "Domestication"). In connection with the Domestication each of the currently issued and outstanding common shares were automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into common shares compliant with the laws of the state of Delaware (the "Shares"). As a result of the Domestication, pursuant to Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), SusGlobal continued its existence under the DGCL as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware. The business, assets and liabilities of SusGlobal and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as well as its principal location and fiscal year, were the same immediately after the Domestication as they were immediately prior to the Domestication. SusGlobal filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 to register the Shares and this registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 12, 2017.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">On December 11, 2018, the Company began trading on the OTCQB venture market exchange, under the ticker symbol SNRG.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">SusGlobal is a renewables company focused on acquiring, developing and monetizing a global portfolio of proprietary technologies in the waste to energy and regenerative products application.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of SusGlobal and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SusGlobal Energy Canada Corp.

("1684567") (together, the "Company"), have been prepared following generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X, and are expressed in United States Dollars.

Going Concern</b></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">The Company incurred a net loss of $3,981,950 (2022-$5,091,895) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and as at that date had a working capital deficit of $24,380,581 (December 31, 2022-$21,580,552) and an accumulated deficit of $34,327,147 (December 31, 2022-$30,345,197) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">On February 18, 2021, PACE Savings and Credit Union Limited ("PACE") and the Company reached a new agreement to repay all amounts owing to PACE on or before July 30, 2021. Management was not able to meet the July 30, 2021, deadline. On August 13, 2021, PACE agreed to allow the Company until August 31, 2021, to bring the arrears current and continue to September 2022, the original maturity date. Management was not able to meet the August 31, 2021, deadline. On November 15, 2021, the Company paid all arrears to PACE and PACE agreed to allow the Company to continue payments to the end of the terms of each obligation, September 2022. Similarly, the Company paid all arrears to PACE on March 15, 2022, and PACE allowed the Company to continue payments to the end of the terms of each obligation, September 2022. On March 28, 2023, the Company and PACE negotiated a full and final mutual release of all obligations owing to PACE. Management continues discussions with equity investors to raise the necessary funds to repay other creditors. The Company was successful in extending the repayment date on a 1st mortgage which had a maturity date of September 1, 2022, to December 1, 2023. One of the Company's significant customer contracts expired at the end of December 31, 2020, and one customer contract was terminated by the Company in September of 2021.</span></span></p> <div> </div> <p style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">These factors cast substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, which is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to further the development of its business, satisfy its obligations to its creditors, and upon achieving profitable operations through revenue growth.

This ASU also requires the disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. ASU No. 2022-02 became effective for the Company's annual and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2023. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023. <span style="background-color: #ffffff;">As a result, the adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have any impact on the opening balances in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU-2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 affects loans, debt securities, trade receivables, and any other financial assets that have the contractual right to receive cash. The ASU requires an entity to recognize expected credit losses rather than incurred losses for financial assets. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023. <span style="background-color: #ffffff;">As a result, the adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have any impact on the opening balances in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">There were no new accounting pronouncements issued and not yet adopted that were expected to have a material impact on the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations in the current or future periods.</span></span></span></p> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div> <p style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;"><b>5. Financial Instruments</b></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, such as cash, funds held in trust, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the long-term debt, obligations under capital lease and convertible promissory notes also approximates fair value due to their market interest rate.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Interest, Credit and Concentration Risk</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Interest rate risk is the risk borne by an interest-bearing asset or liability as a result of fluctuations in interest rates. Financial assets and financial liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">The Company is exposed to significant interest rate risk on the current portion of its long-term debt of $3,946,267 (C$5,224,768) (December 31,2022-$7,285,747; C$9,868,274).</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty's inability to perform its payment obligations. As at June 30, 2023, the Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and trade receivables. As at June 30, 2023, the Company's cash was held with reputable Canadian chartered banks and a United States of America bank.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">With regards to credit risk with customers, the customers' credit evaluation is reviewed by management and account monitoring procedures are used to minimize the risk of loss. The Company believes that no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for by the allowance for doubtful accounts is inherent in accounts receivable. As at June 30, 2023, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $nil (C$nil) (December 31, 2022-$nil; C$nil).</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">As at June 30, 2023, the Company is exposed to concentration risk as it had four customers (December 31, 2022-four customers) representing greater than 5% of total trade receivables and four customers (December 31, 2022-three customers) represented 91% (December 31, 2022-90%) of trade receivables. The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company's total revenue. These customers accounted for 90% (16%, 35% and 39%) (June 30, 2022-71%; 21% and 50%) of total revenue.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Liquidity Risk</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Company takes steps to ensure it has sufficient working capital and available sources of financing to meet future cash requirements for capital programs and operations. Management is considering all its options to repay its creditors. Refer also to going concern, note 2.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">The Company actively monitors its liquidity to ensure that its cash flows and working capital are adequate to support its financial obligations and the Company's capital programs. In order to continue operations, the Company will need to raise capital, and complete the refinancing of its real property and organic waste processing and composting facility. There is no assurance of funding being available or available on acceptable terms. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown. Refer also to going concern, note 2.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Currency Risk</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Although the Company's functional currency is the C$, the Company realizes a portion of its expenses in United States Dollars ("$"). Consequently, certain assets and liabilities are exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. As at June 30, 2023, $258,825 (December 31, 2022-$80,843) of the Company's net monetary liabilities were denominated in $. The Company has not entered into any hedging transactions to reduce the exposure to currency risk.</span></span></p> </div> </div> </div> 3946267 5224768 7285747 9868274 0 0 0 0 4 4 4 3 0.91 0.90 10% or more of the Company's total revenue. 10% or more of the Company's total revenue. 0.90 0.16 0.35 0.39 0.71 0.21 0.50 258825 80843 <div> <div> <div> <p style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;"><b>6</b>. <b>Funds Held in Trust</b></span></span></p> <p style="text-indent: 0.75pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">The Funds held in trust at June 30, 2023, in the amount of $944,125 (C$1,250,000), relate to a full and final mutual release of all obligations owing to PACE, including accrued interest, in exchange for an amount of $944,125 (C$1,250,000). The funds are held in escrow by the Company's Canadian legal counsel. The funds will be released to PACE once the letter of credit, in the amount of $209,090 (C$276,831) is released by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (the "MECP") to PACE and the Company replaces with the new letter of credit in the amount of $481,607 (C$637,637).

The fair value of the convertible promissory notes at issuance and subsequent financial reporting dates was estimated based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represent level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">The fair value of the convertible promissory notes at issuance and at each reporting period was estimated based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company used a scenario-based binomial model to estimate the fair value of the convertible promissory notes. The model determines the fair value from a market participant's perspective by evaluating the payouts under hold, convert, or call decisions. The most significant estimates and assumptions used as inputs are those concerning type, timing and probability of specific scenario outcomes. Specifically, the Company assigned a probability of default, which would increase the required payout as described in note 11 and calculated the fair value under each scenario. At the issuance dates of the convertible promissory notes, the probability of default ("PD") was assumed to be 75% (2022-75%), except for those that were amended post maturity which were assumed to be 100%. The probability of default was determined in reference to a 1-year PD rate for a 'CCC+' rating at issuance, and a combination of 'CC' and 'CCC-' credit ratings at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Increasing (decreasing) the probability of default would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.</span></span></p> <div> </div> <p style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Other significant unobservable inputs include the expected volatility, discount for lack of marketability and the credit spread. The expected volatility was based on the historical volatility over a look-back period that was consistent with the balance-remaining term of the instruments. A range of 104.1% to 141.2% was used for the expected volatility (2022-92% to 159%). The discount for lack of marketability was determined using a range of option pricing methodologies using the remaining restriction term corresponding to each instrument on the relevant valuation date. A range of 0% to 40% was used for the discount for lack of marketability. The credit spread was determined in reference to credit yields of companies with similar credit risk at the date of valuation. A premium of 10% was added to the credit spread as an instrument specific adjustment to reflect the Company's risk of default. A range of 24.39% to 25.18% (2022-24.4% to 25.6%) was used for the credit spread.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Refer also to going concern, note 2.</span></span></p> </div> <div> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%;
