Directors and Officers: Peter Gustavson – CEO, Chairman and Director Briony Bayer – CFO, Corporate Secretary and Director Tim McElvaine – Director Jeremy South – Director Mark Longo – Director Dr. Hannes Blum – Director Escrowed Securities: All of the currently issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company, being 10,000,000 Common Shares, and all of the CPC Stock Options, being 2,500,000 CPC Stock Options, will be deposited in escrow pursuant to the terms of a CPC Escrow Agreement, and will be released from escrow in stages over a period of 18 months from the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin. See “ Escrowed Securities ” and “ Options to Purchase Securities ”.

Risk Factors: Investment in the Common Shares must be regarded as highly speculative due to the proposed nature of the Company’s business and its present stage of development. The Company was only recently incorporated and has no active business or assets other than cash. It does not have a history of earnings, nor has it paid any dividends and will not generate earnings or pay dividends until at least after the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction. The Offering is only suitable to investors who are prepared to rely entirely on the directors and management of the Company and can afford to risk the loss of their entire investment. The directors and officers of the Company will only devote part of their time and attention to the affairs of the Company and there are potential conflicts of interest to which some of the directors and officers of the Company will be subject in connection with the operations of the Company. Assuming completion of the Offering, an investor will suffer an immediate dilution of investment without deduction of selling and related expenses of 20.0% or $0.02 per Common Share. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Common Shares will develop and an investor may find it difficult to resell the Common Shares. Until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. The Company has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate possible Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify or complete a suitable Qualifying Transaction.

The Qualifying Transaction may involve the acquisition of a business or assets located outside of Canada. It may therefore be difficult or impossible to effect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any directors, officers and experts outside of Canada and it may not be possible to enforce against such Persons or companies judgments obtained in Canadian courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions applicable to securities laws in Canada.

In addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus, prospective Purchasers should carefully review and consider the risk factors discussed in greater detail in “ Risk Factors ” before a decision is made to invest in the Common Shares. Such risks may not be the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks not currently known may also impair the Company’s business operations and results of operation.

Currency:

Unless otherwise indicated, all currency amounts herein are stated in Canadian Dollars.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE

Name and Incorporation

The Company was incorporated under the name “Bastion Square Partners Inc.” pursuant to the BCBCA on February 24, 2021. The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 1200 – 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2T8. The Company’s head office is located at Suite 110 – 517 Fort Street, Victoria, British Columbia, V8W 1E7.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

The Company is a CPC. The principal business of the Company will be the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. The Company has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than a minimum amount of cash. The Company has commenced the process of identifying potential acquisitions, but to date, the Company has not yet identified any assets or business for a potential Qualifying Transaction and has not entered into a Qualifying Transaction Agreement.

Preliminary Expenses

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company had incurred preliminary expenses in the aggregate amount of $31,025 out of the anticipated aggregate expenses of $175,250, consisting of a retainer towards its legal expenses ($5,000), a retainer towards the Agent’s expenses ($15,000), and the Company’s audit fees ($11,025). Certain proceeds of the Offering proceeds will be utilized to satisfy the obligations of the Company related to the Offering, including the expenses of its legal fees, the fees of the Exchange, the Agent’s Commission, the Corporate Finance Fee, the fees and expenses of the Agent and the fees of the securities regulatory authorities. See “ Use of Proceeds ”.

Proposed Operations until Completion of a Qualifying Transaction

The Company proposes to identify and evaluate businesses and assets with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. Any proposed Qualifying Transaction must be accepted by the Exchange and in the case of a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction is also subject to Majority of the Minority Approval in accordance with the CPC Policy. The Company has not conducted commercial operations other than to enter into discussions for the purpose of identifying potential acquisitions or interests. The Company has not yet selected an industry to pursue a Qualifying Transaction.

Until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of businesses or assets with a view to completing a potential Qualifying Transaction. Subject to the consent of the Exchange, this may include the raising of additional funds in order to finance an acquisition. Except as described under “ Use of Proceeds ”, the funds raised pursuant to this Offering and any subsequent financing will be utilized only for the identification and evaluation of potential Qualifying Transactions and not for any deposit, loan or direct investment in a potential acquisition.

Although the Company has commenced the process of identifying potential acquisitions with a view to completing the Qualifying Transaction, the Company has not yet entered into a Qualifying Transaction Agreement.

Method of Financing

The Company may use cash, bank financing, the issuance of treasury shares or public financing of debt or equity, or a combination of these for the purpose of financing its proposed Qualifying Transaction. A Qualifying Transaction financed by the issue of treasury shares could result in a change in the control of the Company and may cause the shareholders’ interest in the Company to be further diluted.

11

Criteria for a Qualifying Transaction

The Company will consider acquisitions of assets or businesses operated or located both inside and outside of Canada, as permitted by the CPC Policy. All potential acquisitions will be screened initially by management of the Company to determine their economic viability. Approval of acquisitions will be made by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will examine proposed acquisitions having regard to sound business fundamentals, utilizing the expertise and experience of its directors. The Board of Directors of the Company must approve any proposed Qualifying Transaction. In exercising their powers and discharging their duties in relation to a proposed Qualifying Transaction, the directors will act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and will exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

Filing and Shareholder Approval of a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction

Upon the Company reaching a Qualifying Transaction Agreement, the Company must issue a comprehensive news release, at which time the Exchange generally will halt trading in the Common Shares until the filing requirements of the Exchange have been satisfied as set forth under “ Trading Halts, Suspensions and Delisting ”. Within 75 days after issuance of such news release, the Company shall be required to submit for review to the Exchange a Disclosure Document that complies with Exchange requirements containing prospectus level disclosure of the Significant Assets and the Company, assuming Completion of the Qualifying Transaction. Where the proposed Qualifying Transaction is a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction, the Company must obtain Majority of the Minority Approval. Where the proposed Qualifying Transaction is not a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction, the Exchange will not require the Company to obtain shareholder approval of the Qualifying Transaction provided that it files the CPC Filing Statement or a Prospectus.

Once the Conditional Acceptance Documents (as defined in the CPC Policy) have been accepted for filing, the Exchange will advise the Company that it is cleared to file the final Disclosure Document on SEDAR and:

  • (a) where shareholder approval of the Qualifying Transaction is not required, the Company must file the final CPC Filing Statement or Prospectus on SEDAR at least seven Business Days prior to:

  • (i) the resumption of trading in the securities of the Resulting Issuer following the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, if the securities of the Company are halted from trading; or

  • (ii) the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, if the securities of the Company are not halted from trading;

  • (b) where shareholder approval is required and is to be obtained at a meeting of shareholders, the Company will file on SEDAR and mail to its shareholders the notice of meeting, CPC Information Circular and form of proxy, together with any other required documents; and

  • (c) where shareholder approval is required and is to be obtained by written consent, the Company will file on SEDAR the final Disclosure Document.

If required by the Exchange, the Company will retain a Sponsor, who must be a Member of the Exchange or a Participating Organization of the Toronto Stock Exchange, and who will be required to submit to the Exchange a Sponsor Report prepared in accordance with the policies of the Exchange. The Company will no longer be considered to be a CPC upon the Exchange having issued the Final QT Exchange Bulletin. The Exchange will generally not issue the Final QT Exchange Bulletin until the Exchange has received:

  • (i) confirmation of shareholder approval of the Qualifying Transaction, if required;

  • (ii) confirmation of closing of the Qualifying Transaction; and

  • (iii) all post-meeting or final documentation, as applicable, otherwise required to be filed with the Exchange pursuant to the CPC Policy.

12

Upon issuance of the Final Exchange Bulletin, the CPC Policy will generally cease to apply, with the exception of the escrow provisions of the CPC Policy.

Initial Listing Requirements

The Resulting Issuer must satisfy the Exchange’s Initial Listing Requirements for the particular industry sector in either Tier 1 or Tier 2 as prescribed under the applicable policies of the Exchange.

Trading Halts, Suspension and Delisting

The Exchange will generally halt trading in the Common Shares from the date of the public announcement of a Qualifying Transaction Agreement until all filing requirements of the Exchange have been satisfied, which includes the submission of a Sponsorship Acknowledgment Form, where the Qualifying Transaction is subject to sponsorship. In addition, Personal Information Forms or, if applicable, Declarations, for all individuals who may be directors, senior officers, promoters, or insiders of the Resulting Issuer must be filed with the Exchange and any preliminary background searches that the Exchange considers necessary or advisable, must also be completed, before the trading halt will be lifted by the Exchange.

Even if all filing requirements have been satisfied and preliminary background checks completed, the Exchange may continue or reinstate a halt in trading of the Common Shares for public policy reasons including:

  • (a) the unacceptable nature of the business of the Resulting Issuer, or

  • (b) the number of conditions precedent to, or the nature and number of deficiencies required to be resolved prior to, completion of the Qualifying Transaction, are so significant or numerous as to make it appear to the Exchange that the halt should be reinstated or continued.

A trading halt may also be imposed by the Exchange where the Company fails to file the supporting documents relating to the Qualifying Transaction within a period of 75 days after public announcement of the Qualifying Transaction Agreement or if the Company fails to file post-meeting or final documents as applicable, within the time required. A trading halt may also be imposed if a Sponsor terminates its sponsorship.

In the event that the Common Shares of the Company are delisted by the Exchange, within 90 days from the date of such delisting, the Company shall wind up and shall make a pro rata distribution of its remaining assets to its shareholders, unless shareholders, pursuant to a majority vote exclusive of the votes of Non-Arm’s Length Parties to the Company, determine to deal with the Company or its remaining assets in some other manner.

Refusal of a Qualifying Transaction

The Exchange, in its sole discretion, may not accept a Qualifying Transaction where:

  • (a) the Resulting Issuer fails to satisfy the applicable minimum listing requirements of the Exchange;

  • (b) the Resulting Issuer will be a mutual fund, as defined in the securities legislation; or

  • (c) notwithstanding the definition of a Qualifying Transaction, there is any other reason for denying acceptance of the Qualifying Transaction.

Any holding company must sign an undertaking to the Exchange that, to the extent reasonably possible, it will not permit or authorize securities to be issued or transferred if it could reasonably result in a change of control of the holding company. In addition, the Exchange may require an undertaking from any Control Person of the holding company not to transfer the shares of that company.

Under the CPC Escrow Agreement:

  • (a) all CPC Stock Options granted prior to the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin and all Common Shares that were issued pursuant to the exercise of such CPC Stock Options prior to the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin will be released from escrow on the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin, other than CPC Stock Options that were granted prior to the Company’s IPO with an exercise price that is less than the issue price of the Common Shares under this Prospectus and any Common Shares that were issued pursuant to the exercise of such CPC Stock Options which will be released from escrow in accordance with (b);

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Except as set out below or otherwise disclosed in this Prospectus, prior to Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, no payment of any kind has been made, or will be made, directly to indirectly, by the Company to a Non-Arm’s Length Party to the Company or a Non-Arm’s Length Party to the Qualifying Transaction, or to any person engaged in investor relations activities in respect of the securities of the Company or any Resulting Issuer by any means, other than:

Further, no payment will be made by the Company, or by any party on behalf of the Company, after Completion of the Qualifying Transaction if the payment relates to services rendered or obligations incurred or in connection with the Qualifying Transaction.

PROMOTERS

Peter Gustavson may be considered a Promoter of the Company in that he took the initiative in founding and organizing the business of the Company. Mr. Gustavson, is the sole shareholder of Gustavson Capital Corporation which owns 4,668,000 Common Shares, representing approximately 46.7% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding as at the date of this Prospectus. Upon completion of the Offering, Gustavson Capital Corporation will own 4,668,000 Common Shares representing approximately 18.7% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding. See “ Directors and Officers ” above and “ Executive Compensation ” above for further information.

DILUTION

Purchasers of Common Shares under this Prospectus will suffer an immediate dilution of 20.0% or $0.02 per Common Share on the basis of there being 25,000,000 Common Shares of the Company issued and outstanding following completion of this Offering. Dilution has been computed on the basis of total gross proceeds to be raised by this Prospectus and from sales of securities prior to filing this Prospectus, without deduction of commissions or related expenses incurred by the Company.

RISK FACTORS

Investment in the Common Shares must be regarded as highly speculative due to the proposed nature of the Company’s business and its present stage of development. The following are risk factors associated with the Company:

  • (a) the Company was only recently incorporated, has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than cash. It has no history of earnings, and shall not generate earnings or pay dividends until at least after Completion of the Qualifying Transaction;

  • (b) investment in the Common Shares offered by the Prospectus is highly speculative given the proposed nature of the Company’s business and its present stage of development;

  • (c) the directors and officers of the Company will only devote a portion of their time to the business and affairs of the Company and some of them are or will be engaged in other projects or businesses such that conflicts of interest may arise from time to time;

  • (d) assuming completion of the Offering, an investor will suffer an immediate dilution to its investment of 20.0% or $0.02 per Common Share;

32

  • (e) there can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Company’s Common Shares will develop and an investor may find it difficult to resell its Common Shares;

  • (f) until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company is not permitted to carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of potential Qualifying Transactions;

  • (g) the Company has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate potential Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify a suitable Qualifying Transaction;

  • (h) even if a proposed Qualifying Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the transaction;

  • (i) Completion of the Qualifying Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including acceptance by the Exchange and in the case of a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction, Majority of the Minority Approval;

  • (j) unless the shareholder has the right to dissent and be paid fair value in accordance with applicable corporate or other law, a shareholder who votes against a proposed Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction for which Majority of the Minority Approval by shareholders has been given, will have no rights of dissent and no entitlement to payment by the Company of fair value for the Common Shares;

  • (k) upon public announcement of a proposed Qualifying Transaction, trading in the Common Shares of the Company will be halted and will remain halted for an indefinite period of time, typically until a Sponsor has been retained (if required) and certain preliminary reviews have been conducted. The Common Shares of the Company may be reinstated to trading before the Exchange has reviewed the transaction and before the Sponsor has completed its full review. Reinstatement to trading provides no assurance with respect to the merits of the transaction or the likelihood of the Company completing the proposed Qualifying Transaction;

  • (l) trading in the Common Shares of the Company may be halted at other times for other reasons, including for failure by the Company to submit documents to the Exchange in the time periods required;

  • (m) neither the Exchange nor any securities regulatory authority passes upon the merits of the proposed Qualifying Transaction;

  • (n) in the event that management of the Company resides outside of Canada or the Company identifies a foreign business as a proposed Qualifying Transaction, investors may find it difficult or impossible to effect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any management resident outside of Canada or upon the foreign business and may find it difficult or impossible to enforce against such persons, judgments obtained in Canadian courts;

  • (o) the Qualifying Transaction may be financed in all or part by the issuance of additional securities by the Company and this may result in further dilution to the investor, which dilution may be significant and which may also result in a change of control of the Company; and

  • (p) subject to prior Exchange acceptance, the Company may be permitted to loan or advance up to the greater of $250,000 and 20% of its working capital to a target business without shareholder approval and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to recover that loan.

As a result of these factors, this Offering is only suitable to investors who are willing to rely solely on management of the Company and who can afford to lose their entire investment. Those investors who are not prepared to do so should not invest in the Common Shares.

Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

The current outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) that was first reported from Wuhan, China in December 2019, and the spread of this virus could continue to have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions, which may adversely impact the Company’s business. The World Health Organization declared a global emergency on January 30, 2020 with respect to the outbreak and characterized it as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Cases of COVID-19 have been reported in 223 countries, areas or territories as of July 29, 2021, including China, the United States, Canada, and countries in the European Union. The extent to which the outbreak impacts the Company’s business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge and the actions to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among others. Moreover, the actual and threatened spread of the coronavirus globally could also have a material adverse effect on the regional economies in which the Company intends to operate, continue to negatively impact stock markets, adversely impact the Company’s ability to raise capital, and cause continued interest rate volatility. In particular, the outbreak in Canada, which has resulted in restrictions including quarantines, closures, cancellations and travel restrictions, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business including operating, manufacturing supply chain, research and development, regulatory submissions and project development delays and disruptions, labour shortages, travel and shipping disruption and shutdowns, interruptions in product supply or restrictions on the export or shipment of the Company’s products and reduced customer demand. The Company may incur expenses or delays relating to such events outside of the Company’s control, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. Any of these developments, and others, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

OTHER MATERIAL FACTS

To management’s knowledge, there are no other material facts relating to the securities to be offered which are not disclosed elsewhere in this Prospectus, or are necessary in order for the Prospectus to contain full, true and plain disclosure of all material facts relating to the securities to be offered.

ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT

In the opinion of Legacy Tax + Trust Lawyers, special tax counsel to the Company, based on the provisions of the Tax Act as of the date hereof and any proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof, the Common Shares, if issued on the date hereof, would be “qualified investments” under the Tax Act for a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan (“ RRSP ”), registered retirement income fund (“ RRIF ”), registered education savings plan (“ RESP ”), registered disability savings plan (“ RDSP ”), tax‐free savings account (“ TFSA ”) (collectively, “ Registered Plans ”) and a “deferred profit sharing plan” (“ DPSP ”), as those terms are defined in the Tax Act, provided that the Common Shares are listed on a “designated stock Exchange”, as defined in the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSXV), or the Company is otherwise a “public corporation”, as defined in the Tax Act.

The Common Shares are not currently listed on a “designated stock exchange” and the Company is not currently a “public corporation”, as those terms are defined in the Tax Act. The Company has received conditional acceptance from the TSXV to list the Common Shares on the TSXV as of the day before the Closing of the Offering, followed by an immediate halt in trading of the Common Shares in order to allow the Company to satisfy the conditions of the

35

TSXV and to have the Common Shares listed and posted for trading prior to the issuance of the Common Shares on the Closing of the Offering. The Company must rely on the TSXV to list the Common Shares on the TSXV and have them posted for trading prior to the issuance of the Common Shares on the Closing of the Offering and to otherwise proceed in such manner as may be required to result in the Common Shares being listed on the TSXV at the time of their issuance on Closing. If the Common Shares are not listed on the TSXV at the time of their issuance on the Closing of the Offering and the Company is not otherwise a “public corporation” at that time, the Common Shares will not be “qualified investments” for a Registered Plan or a DPSP at that time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder or subscriber of, or annuitant under, a Registered Plan (the “ Controlling Individual ”) will be subject to a penalty tax in respect of Common Shares held in the Registered Plan if such securities are a prohibited investment for the particular Registered Plan. A Common Share generally will be a “prohibited investment” for a Registered Plan if the Controlling Individual does not deal at arm's length with the Corporation for the purposes of the Tax Act or the Controlling Individual has a “significant interest” (as defined in subsection 207.01(4) the Tax Act) in the Corporation. However, a Common Share will not be a prohibited investment for a Registered Plan if such securities are “excluded property” (as defined in subsection 207.01(1) of the Tax Act) for such Registered Plan.

Persons who intend to hold Common Shares in a trust governed by a Registered Plan should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the application of these rules in their particular circumstances.

PURCHASERS’ STATUTORY RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION

Securities legislation in Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Manitoba provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within two Business Days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment. The securities legislation further provides a Purchaser with remedies for rescission or damages if the Prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the Purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the Purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the Purchaser’s province. The Purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the Purchaser’s province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors of Bastion Square Partners Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Bastion Square Partners Inc. (the Entity), which comprise:

  • the statement of financial position as at April 30, 2021

  • the statement of operations and other comprehensive loss for the period from the date of incorporation on February 24, 2021 to April 30, 2021

  • the statement of changes in equity for the period from the date of incorporation on February 24, 2021 to April 30, 2021

  • the statement of cash flows for the period from the date of incorporation on February 24, 2021 to April 30, 2021

  • and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies

(Hereinafter referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Entity as at April 30, 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the period from the date of incorporation on February 24, 2021 to April 30, 2021 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

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 “ Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements ” section of our auditors’ report.

We are independent of the Entity 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.

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

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

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Entity’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 Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Entity’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but 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 the financial statements.

As 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 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 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 Entity's internal control.

Bastion Square Partners Inc. Page 3

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

  • 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 Entity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • 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.

BASTION SQUARE PARTNERS INC.

(A Capital Pool Corporation)

Notes to Financial Statements

Period from date of incorporation on February 24, 2021 to April 30, 2021

1. Incorporation and nature of operations:

Bastion Square Partners Inc. (the “Corporation”), was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on February 24, 2021 (the “Date of Incorporation”) and is in the process of applying for status as a Capital Pool Corporation, as defined in the Policy 2.4 of the Corporate Finance Manual of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). The principal business of the Corporation will be the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction (“QT”). The Corporation has not commenced operations and has no assets other than cash. The Corporation’s continuing operations as intended are dependent upon its ability to identify, evaluate and negotiate an acquisition, or business, or an interest therein. Such an acquisition or business will be subject to the approval of the Exchange and in case of a non-arm’s length transaction, of the majority of the Corporation’s minority shareholders.

Once a QT has been identified, the Corporation’s ability to complete the transaction may be dependent on additional funding. There is no assurance that the Corporation will be successful in obtaining any additional funding.

The registered office of the Corporation is located at Suite 1200, 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC and its principal place of business is Suite 110, 517 Fort Street, Victoria, BC.

On July 29, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Corporation approved the financial statements for the period from the Date of Incorporation on February 24, 2021 to April 30, 2021.

2. Basis of presentation:

  • (a) Statement of compliance:

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

(b) Basis of preparation:

The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Corporation's functional and reporting currency.

The financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the entire period presented in these financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements

Period from date of incorporation on February 24, 2021 to April 30, 2021

2. Basis of presentation (continued):

  • (c) Use of estimates and judgements:

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

There have been no significant estimates or judgments made by management in the application of IFRS that have a significant effect on these financial statements.

3. Significant accounting policies:

  • (a) Share capital:

Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and stock options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

  • (b) Financial instruments:

  • ( i ) Recognition:

The Corporation recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities on the date the Corporation becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

  • ( ii ) Classification:

The Corporation classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities in the following measurement categories: i) those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss, and ii) those to be measured at amortized cost. The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial liabilities are classified as those to be measured at amortized cost unless they are designated as those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.

The Corporation reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.

Period from date of incorporation on February 24, 2021 to April 30, 2021

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):

  • (b) Financial instruments (continued):

( ii ) Classification (continued):

The Corporation has implemented the following classifications: Cash is measured at amortized cost and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

( iii ) Measurement:

All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition, plus, in case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs of financial assets and financial liabilities with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest. Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments or principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of the subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets including equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods, with any changes taken through profit and loss or other comprehensive income (irrevocable election at the time of recognition).

  • (c) Income tax:

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Notes to Financial Statements

Period from date of incorporation on February 24, 2021 to April 30, 2021

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):

(c) Income taxes (continued):

Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. As at April 30, 2021, tax losses have not been recognized as a deferred tax asset.

  • (d) Basic and diluted loss per share:

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the relevant period.

Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common shares by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive instruments were converted.

4. Share capital (continued):

(a) Escrowed shares:

During the period, the Corporation issued 10,000,000 common shares at $0.05 per share for total proceeds of $500,000.

The issued and outstanding common shares will be held in escrow pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange.

All common shares of the Corporation acquired in the secondary market prior to the completion of a QT by non-arm’s length parties, as defined in the policies of the Exchange, are required to be deposited in escrow. Subject to certain permitted exemptions, all securities of the Corporation held by principals of the resulting issuer will also be subject to escrow.

5. Financial risk management objectives and policies:

  • (a) Capital management:

The Corporation includes equity, comprised of issued common shares, in the definition of capital.

The Corporation’s primary objective, with respect to its capital management, is to ensure that it has sufficient cash resources to fund the identification and evaluation of potential acquisitions. To secure the additional capital necessary to purse this objective, the Corporation may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity and by securing strategic partners.

The Corporation’s current capital was received from the issuance of common shares. The net proceeds raised to date and those anticipated following the close of the initial public offering (“IPO”) (note 8) will only be sufficient to identify and evaluate a limited number of assets and businesses for the purpose of identifying and completing a QT.

The Corporation is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements other than the expenditure restrictions applicable under the Exchange’s Policy 2.4, which will apply following the completion of the IPO. Expenditures may include expenses relating to the IPO, reasonable expenses relating to a proposed QT, assurance and audit fees, escrow agent and transfer agent fees, regulatory filing fees, and a maximum of $3,000 per month for other general and administrative costs.

5. Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued):

  • (b) Fair values and risk disclosures:

  • ( i ) Fair value:

Fair value represents the price at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in an orderly market, in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties who are under no compulsion to act. Certain of the Corporation’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Corporation’s fair value measurements are classified as one of the following levels of the fair value hierarchy:

  • Level 1: Fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in the active market for identical assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2: Fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

  • Level 3: Fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The carrying value of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates its fair value.

( ii ) Credit risk:

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Corporation if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Corporation’s cash. To reduce credit risk, the Corporation’s cash is held with a highly rated financial institution. The carrying amount of cash represents the maximum credit exposure to the Corporation.

  • (c) Liquidity risk:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Corporation’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Corporation has accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $27,718 at April 30, 2021 and does not have significant exposure to liquidity risk.

  • (d) Market risk:

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices. The Corporation does not have significant exposure to these risks.

At April 30, 2021, the Company has an estimated non-capital loss for income tax purposes of $32,893 that may be carried forward to reduce taxable income earned in future years.

7. Related party transactions:

During the period from incorporation on February 24, 2021 to April 30, 2021, one of the Corporation’s shareholders, Gustavson Capital Corporation (”GCC”), paid for certain professional and application fees on behalf of the Corporation.

There were no other transactions with related parties and no remuneration paid to key management personnel.

8. Subsequent events:

(a) Initial public offering:

On April 29, 2021, the Corporation engaged Haywood Securities Inc. (“Haywood”) to act as its agent for an initial public offering (“IPO”). The Corporation will offer up to 15,000,000 of its common shares at a price of $0.10 per share for up to $1,500,000 in gross proceeds.

As compensation for agency services, Haywood will receive a cash commission (“Agent’s Commission”) equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds of the offering, excluding proceeds raised from President’s List Investors (which are estimated at $1,000,000), for which the Agent will receive 2.0%. Haywood will receive agent’s warrants (“Agent’s Warrants”) to purchase that number of common shares in the capital of the Corporation equal to 7.5% of the aggregate number of common shares sold under the offering excluding shares sold to President’s List Investors. No Agent’s Warrants will be issued for gross proceeds raised from President’s List Investors. On this basis, it is estimated that Haywood will receive approximately $57,500 as Agent’s Commission and between 375,000 and 1,125,000 Agent’s Warrants. Each Agent’s Warrant will be exercisable to purchase an additional common share in the Corporation at a price of $0.10 for a 36-month period following the completion of the IPO.

Upon completion of the IPO and reclassification of the Corporation as a CPC, the common shares will be transferred to escrow and will be released over a period up to 18 months following the completion of a QT.

(b) Stock options:

On May 20, 2021, the Corporation has adopted a common share stock option plan (“Option Plan”) in accordance with the policies of the TSX. Stock options may be granted for common shares for a maximum term of ten years from the date of the grant and are non-transferable.

Unless otherwise stated, stock options fully vest when granted. The common share exercise price of stock options must be in compliance with the policies of the Exchange at the date of grant.

Any shares issued upon exercise of the options prior to the Corporation entering into a QT will be subject to escrow restrictions.

No stock options have been granted or are outstanding as at the date of these financial statements.

SCHEDULE “B”

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

The primary function of the audit committee (the “ Audit Committee ”) is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its financial oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial reports and other financial information provided by the Company to regulatory authorities and shareholders, the Company’s systems of internal controls regarding finance and accounting, and the Company’s auditing, accounting and financial reporting processes. Consistent with this function, the Committee will encourage continuous improvement of, and should foster adherence to, the Company’s policies, procedures and practices at all levels.

The Committee’s primary duties and responsibilities are to:

  • serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the Company’s financial reporting and internal control systems and review the Company’s financial statements;

  • review and appraise the performance of the Company’s external auditors; and

  • provide an open avenue of communication among the Company’s auditors, financial and senior management and the Board of Directors.

Composition

The Audit Committee shall be comprised of three directors as determined by the Board of Directors, the majority of whom shall be free from any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would reasonably interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgement as a member of the Audit Committee. At least one member of the Audit Committee shall have accounting or related financial management expertise. All members of the Audit Committee that are not financially literate will work towards becoming financially literate to obtain a working familiarity with basic finance and accounting practices. For the purposes of this Audit Committee Charter, the definition of “financially literate” is the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can presumably be expected to be raised by the Company’s financial statements. The members of the Audit Committee shall be elected by the Board of Directors at its first meeting following the annual shareholder’s meeting.

Meetings

The Audit Committee shall meet at least four times annually, or more frequently as circumstances dictate. As part of its job to foster open communication, the Audit Committee will meet at least annually with the Chief Financial Officer and the external auditors in separate sessions.

  • (h) Review with management and the external auditors the audit plan for the year-end financial statements and intended template for such statements.

  • (i) Review and pre-approve all audit and audit-related services and the fees and other compensation related thereto, and any non-audit services, provided by the Company’s external auditors. The preapproval requirement is waived with respect to the provision of non-audit services if:

  • i. the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services provided to the Company constitutes not more than five percent of the total amount of fees paid by the Company to its external auditors during the fiscal year in which the non-audit services are provided;

  • ii. such services were not recognized by the Company at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and

  • iii. such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee by the Company and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee who are members of the Board of Directors to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee. Provided the pre-approval of the non-audit services is presented to the Audit Committee’s first scheduled meeting following such approval, such authority may be delegated by the Audit Committee to one more independent members of the Audit Committee.
