Independent Auditor's Report

To the Shareholders of Environmental Waste International Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Environmental Waste International Inc. ("the Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and the consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of net changes in shareholders' deficit and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Environmental Waste International Inc. as at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter - Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 3 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company has incurred a net loss for the year of $1,860,727, had working capital deficiency of $4,643,205 and cumulative deficit of $70,400,079. As stated in Note 3, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Evaluation of Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

Description of the matter

We draw attention to Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. At each reporting date, the Company assesses its ability to continue as a going concern. Whether the Company is able to continue as a going concern is a significant management judgment.

Why the matter is a key audit matter

We identified the evaluation of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as a key audit matter. This matter represented an area of higher assessed risk of material misstatement, which required significant auditor judgment in the evaluation of the results of our procedures.

How the matter was addressed in the audit

The primary procedure we performed to address this key audit matter included the following:

We evaluated the appropriateness of the Company's key strategy to resolve the situation given the current financial position and cash flows from operations.

Key Audit Matters (Continued)

Valuation of Self-Constructed Asset

Description of the matter

We draw attention to Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements. Certain wages have been capitalized to asset under construction. The amount capitalized is requires significant management judgement.

Why the matter is a key audit matter

We identified the valuation of the self-constructed asset as a key audit matter because it represents an area of higher assessed risk of material misstatement, which required significant auditor judgment in the evaluation of the results of our procedures.

How the matter was addressed in the audit

The primary procedure we performed to address this key audit matter included the following:

We evaluated the appropriateness of the Company's policy for capitalization and performed increase testing in this area.

Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

Management is responsible for other information. Other information comprises the information included in Management's Discussion and Analysis filed with the relevant Canadian Securities Commissions. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We obtained the information included Management's Discussion and Analysis. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in the auditors' report. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Shareholders of Environmental Waste International Inc. (Continued)

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

As a part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as a fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or condition may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities with the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter, or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Wayne O'Connell.

Environmental Waste International Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

Environmental Waste International Inc. ("EWI" or the "Company") was incorporated under the Ontario Business Corporations Act on October 31, 1987. The Company's business is the design, development and sale of environmentally sound devices utilizing EWI's patented Reverse Polymerization process and dealing with environmental waste disposal, including the development, advancement, licensing and sale of its technology and related machines throughout the world. The Company's registered office is located at 1751 Wentworth Street, Unit 1, Whitby, Ontario, L1N 8R6.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The consolidated financial statements of EWI have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The notes presented in these consolidated financial statements include only significant events and transactions occurring since the last fiscal year end. The policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are based on International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars.

3. GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTION

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. These audited annual consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss during the year ended December 31, 2023 of $1,860,727 (2022 - $2,291,291) and, as at that date, had working capital deficiency for of $4,643,205 (December 31, 2022 - $4,034,579) and a cumulative deficit of $70,400,079 (December 31, 2022 - $68,572,139).

Recurring sources of revenue have not yet proven to be sufficient as the commercialization of the Company's core technology is at an early stage and the Company has not yet achieved a level of profitability and positive cash flows. While the Company has been successful in raising additional financing and extending the repayment terms for deferred compensation, it will require additional financing to enable it to continue operations. In the absence of additional financing, the Company is not expected to have sufficient funds to meet its obligations. Management continues to monitor cash needs and is considering various alternatives to raise additional financing. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure the necessary financing to enable it to continue as a going concern. The factors noted above indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. If the going concern basis is not appropriate, material adjustments may be necessary to the carrying amounts and/or classification of assets and liabilities.
