FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's risk exposure in association with its financial instruments has not materially change from its year ended September 30, 2020.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in its functional currency. The Company does not manage currency risk through hedging or other currency management tools.
As of June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2020, the Company's net exposure to foreign currency risk on its financial instruments is as follows:
| June 30, 2021 | September 30, 2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cash | US$ 349,168 | US$- |
| Canadian dollar equivalent | 432,758 | $- |
A change of 5% of the foreign exchange rate between US$ and Canadian $ will have an impact of $21,638 to the Company's statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2021.
Fair Value
The fair values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities approximate the carrying amounts either due to their short-term nature or because the interest rate applied to measure their carrying amount approximate current market rates.
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
- Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
- Level 3 Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The Company's investments in common shares are measured using level 1 fair value measurements. The Company does not have any financial instruments subject to level 2 or level 3 fair value measurements.
Classification of Financial Instruments

| June 30, 2021 | September 30, 2020 | |

| Financial liabilities | $ | $ |

RISK FACTORS
Equity Investment Risks
An investment in the common shares of the Issuer should be considered highly speculative, not only due to the Issuer's limited business history but also due to the consideration that equity investments are always subject to varying degrees of risk. These risks may include changes in general economic conditions such as the availability and cost of financing capital; changes in local conditions, such as employment, changes to tax laws, and changes to incentive programs related to the areas in which the Issuer intends to invest. In addition, financial difficulties of other equity investors result in distress sales, which may depress the stocks in which the Company operates.
Dilution to the Existing Shareholders
The Company is very likely to issue its common stock to raise for additional capital. The issuance of additional equity securities by the Company could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of existing shareholders.
Reliance on Management's Expertise
The Company strongly depends on the business acumen and investing expertise of its management team and there is little possibility that this dependence will decrease in the near term. The loss of the services of any member of such team could have a material adverse effect on the Issuer. The Company does not have any key person insurance in place for management.
FINANCIAL AND DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Venture issuers are not required to include representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P") and internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR"), as defined in National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuer's Annual and Interim Filings ("NI-52-109"). In particular, the Company's certifying officers are not making any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of:
- i) Controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and
- ii) A process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the Company's generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company's certifying officers are responsible for ensuring that processes are in place to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support the representations they make. Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of the Company's certifying officers to design and implement on a cost effect basis DC&P and ICFR as defined in NI 52-109 may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.
