01 Communique Laboratory Inc. Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) For the 3 and 9 month periods ended July 31, 2022 and 2021
Notice to reader of the interim consolidated financial statements
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (“interim consolidated financial statements”) of 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (the “Company”), which include the accompanying interim consolidated statement of financial position as at July 31, 2022 and the interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, are the responsibility of the Company’s management. These interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited or reviewed on behalf of the shareholders by the independent external auditors of the Company, McGovern Hurley LLP. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management and include the selection of appropriate accounting principles, judgments and estimates necessary to prepare these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and reflect management’s best estimates and judgment based on information currently available.
01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on October 7, 1992 under the laws of Ontario. The Company’s cybersecurity business unit focuses on its IronCAP™ patent-pending cryptographic system. The Company’s remote access business unit focuses on its I’m InTouch suite of secure remote access services and products. These consolidated financial statements are prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and reflect management's best estimates and judgment based on information currently available.
The Company's head office is located at 789 Don Mills Road, Suite 700, Toronto, Ontario M3C 1T5 and its common shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") under the symbol ONE and quoted on the OTCQB Market in the United States under the symbol OONEF.
(1) Significant accounting policies:
(a) Statement of compliance and basis of presentation:
These interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021. The accounting standards applied in these interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of the date the Board of Directors authorized the financial statements for issue.
The interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on September 14, 2022.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, 01 Communique (GP) Inc. and 01 Communique Laboratory Hong Kong Limited. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

Subsidiaries consist of entities over which the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns as well as the ability to affect those returns through the power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Generally, the Company has a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights in its subsidiaries. The effects of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable are considered when assessing whether control exists. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date control is transferred to the Company, and are deconsolidated from the date control ceases. The financial statements include all the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiary after eliminating inter-entity balances and transactions.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain items which may be accounted for at fair value as further discussed in subsequent notes, using the Significant accounting policies and measurement bases summarized below.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company's functional currency.
Presentation of the consolidated statements of financial position differentiates between current and noncurrent assets and liabilities. The consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss are presented using the functional classification for expenses.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained substantial losses and negative cash flows from operations in recent years and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate future profitable operations and cash flows and/or obtain additional financing.
Should the Company not be able to generate sufficient cash flows to become profitable in the future and generate sufficient working capital to fund operations, it will become necessary to secure additional sources of financing. However, there can be no assurances that any such financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in these consolidated financial statements.

|
|---|---|
| Trade receivables Investment tax credits receivable Other |
$ 104,120 $ 158,073 - 25,000 24,339 22,434 |
| $128,459 $205,507 |
(b) Financial risk management:
(i) Overview:
The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework and reviews the Company's policies on an ongoing basis.
(ii) Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's accounts receivable. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
The Company's exposure to credit risk with its customers is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The Company generally does not require collateral for sales on credit. The Company closely monitors extensions of credit and has not experienced significant credit losses in the past. At July 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the Company had a nil balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts and had no material past due trade receivables.
The Company invests its cash with the objective of maintaining safety of principal and providing adequate liquidity to meet all current payment obligations. The Company invests its cash in cash equivalents with
7
01 Communique Laboratory Inc. Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) For the 3 and 9 month periods ended July 31, 2022 and 2021
Canadian chartered banks that are of high credit quality. Given these high credit ratings, the Company does not expect any counterparties to these cash equivalents to fail to meet their obligations.
(iii) Concentrations of credit risk:
There were two companies that comprised 98% (2021 – 98%) and 98% (2021- 98%) of the Company’s total revenue for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022 respectively. No other customers exceeded 10% of revenue during the current or prior periods. The customers comprising 98% (2021 – 98%) of revenue represents 100% (2021 – 100%) of accounts receivable as at July 31, 2022.
(iv) 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's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. To the extent that the Company does not believe it has sufficient liquidity to meet these obligations, management will consider securing additional funds through equity or debt transactions.
However, the Company has sustained substantial losses in recent years and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to generate future profitable operations and cash flows and/or obtain additional financing, which would be contingent upon market and other conditions in the future, which are beyond the Company's control.
At July 31, 2022, the Company had financial assets consisting of cash and accounts receivable of $987,009 (October 31, 2021 - $1,200,431) and financial liabilities of $287,588 (October 31, 2021 - $222,354), consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the Canadian emergency business account loan payable.
The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.
(v) Market risk:
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk is comprised of currency risk, interest rate risk and market price risk. The Company is exposed to currency risk and interest rate risk.
Currency risk:
Net monetary assets and liabilities due in U.S. dollars include accounts payable of $11,216 (October 31, 2021 – $23,030), cash of $389,200 (October 31, 2021 - $568,902) and accounts receivable of $80,600 (October 31, 2021 - $127,478).
The Company reports its results in Canadian dollars. The Company markets its products in Canada, the United States ("U.S.") and Asia/Pacific. Sales to Asian/Pacific customers are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. Substantially all of the Company's sales are in U.S. dollars. As a result, the Company is subject to currency risk from sales made in U.S. dollars. The Company does not hedge the risk related to fluctuations in the
8
01 Communique Laboratory Inc. Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) For the 3 and 9 month periods ended July 31, 2022 and 2021
exchange rate between the U.S. and the Canadian dollar from the date of the sales transaction to the collection date due. As at July 31, 2022, the Company had net monetary assets in U.S. dollars of $458,584 (October 31, 2021 - $673,351). An increase or decrease in the U.S. to Canadian dollar exchange rate by 10% as at July 31, 2022 would have resulted in a gain in the amount of $45,858 (October 31, 2021 - $83,500) or a loss of $45,858 (October 31, 2021 - $83,500), respectively.
The Company has performed a sensitivity analysis for foreign exchange exposure over the nine month period ended July 31, 2022. The analysis used a modeling technique that compares the U.S. dollar equivalent of all revenue and expenses incurred in U.S. dollars, at the actual exchange rate, to a hypothetical 10% movement in the foreign currency exchanges rates against the Canadian dollar, with all other variables held constant. Foreign currency exchanges rates used were based on the market rates in effect during the nine month period ended July 31, 2022. The sensitivity analysis indicated that a hypothetical 10% movement in the foreign currency exchange rate from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar would result in a decrease to the net loss for the nine month period ended July 31, 2022. A decrease or increase in the U.S. to Canadian dollar exchange rate by 10% during the nine month period ended July 31, 2022 would have resulted in a reduction of the net loss of $49,000 (2021 – $60,000) or an increase in the net loss of $49,000 (2021 – $60,000) respectively. There can be no assurances that the above projected exchange rate change will materialize.
Interest rate risk: The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its fixed rate financial instruments. Fixed rate instruments subject the Company to fair value interest rate risk, as the fair value of the financial instrument fluctuates due to changes in market interest rates. Financial instruments subject to interest rate risk include demand deposits.
(vi) Fair values of financial instruments:
All financial instruments measured at fair value are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels, described below, for disclosure purposes. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities:
Level 1 – Values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets of liabilities.
Level 2 – Values based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Values based on prices or valuations techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
There are no financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a regular basis.

01 Communique Laboratory Inc. Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) For the 3 and 9 month periods ended July 31, 2022 and 2021
(3) Capital risk management:
The Company's primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has sufficient cash resources to fund operations and discharge liabilities as they become due. Management performs regular reviews of its forecasted cash flow requirements to ensure cash flow needs are addressed.
The Board does not establish 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 considers its capital to consist of shareholders’ equity.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no significant changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the nine month period ended July 31, 2022.
The Company and its subsidiaries are not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a lending institution or regulatory body, other than of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) which requires adequate working capital or financial resources of the greater of (i) $50,000 and (ii) an amount required to maintain operations and cover general and administrative expenses for a period of 6 months. As at July 31, 2022, the Company believes it is compliant with the policies of the TSXV .
(4) Government assistance:
The Canada Emergency Business Account (“CEBA”) provides interest-free bank loans, guaranteed by the government of Canada, of up to $60,000 to small businesses that qualify. The Company’s loan payable consists of a $60,000 CEBA loan that is interest free and repayable by December 31, 2022 with up to $20,000 of the loan being forgiven conditional upon the Company repaying the full amount due of $60,000 by maturity which is December 31. 2022. Management has assessed that it is likely the Company would be able to repay the balance of the loans by December 31, 2022 and accordingly, the total forgivable amount of $20,000 was recorded as government assistance income in fiscal 2021.
The Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS") government program provides a wage subsidy of 75% for qualifying businesses. The purpose of the wage subsidy is to allow employers to re-hire workers that were previously laid off, and to continue to employ those who are already on payroll. For the nine month period ended July 31, 2021, the Company has received approximately $13,000 as a wage subsidy under this program (2022 – Nil). This has been recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as a reduction to the related expenses.

- (b) Employee stock option plan:
The Company maintains a share option plan (the "Plan") for the benefit of management, directors, officers, contractors and employees. The Plan is a "rolling" stock option plan, pursuant to which the maximum number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance under outstanding stock options will be 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares, as constituted on the date of any grant of options under the Plan.
Options are granted under the Plan at the discretion of the Board of Directors at exercise prices determined as the trading prices of the Company's common shares on the TSX-V on the day preceding the effective date of the grant. In general, options granted under the Plan vest over the period of up to a maximum of five years from the grant date and expire by no later than the fifth anniversary of the date of grant.
The following summarizes changes in outstanding options for the nine month period ended July 31, 2022.

|
| 5,515,000 1.6 $ 0.15 |
The average grant date fair value of options granted during 2022 was $0.25 (2021 - $0.34).

In March 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. The situation is dynamic and the ultimate duration and magnitude of the impact on the economy, capital markets and the Company's financial position cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company is monitoring developments and will adapt its business plans accordingly. The actual and threatened spread of COVID-19 globally could adversely impact the Company's operations and ability to raise capital. To date the Company has been able to adapt its operations thereby minimizing the impact from the pandemic.
(10) Lease commitment:
The Company's head office, located at 789 Don Mills Road, Suite 700, Toronto, Ontario M3C 1T5, is leased and considered to be a right-of-use asset. On March 1, 2021 the lease was amended with the expiry date extended to March 31, 2024 with no renewal term. Lease payments (including the Company’s share of property taxes, operating costs, utilities and extra services) during the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2022 were $11,279 (2021$11,338) and $32,866 (2021 - $33,451) respectively.
The lease liability has been measured by discounting future lease payments at the incremental borrowing rate at March 1, 2021. The incremental borrowing rate applied was determined to be 5.0% per annum for the lease and represents the Company's best estimate of the rate of interest that it would expect to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in the current economic environment. As a result, the Company recorded an increase in capital assets, right of use asset, of $134,634 and an increase in lease liability of $134,634. The carrying value included as part of property and equipment as at July 31, 2022 is $74,620. The lease liability has been broken down between current and non-current amounts.
