INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the shareholders of Benz Capital Corp.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Benz Capital Corp. (the "Company"), which comprise the statements of financial position as at March 31, 2022, and 2021, and the statements of comprehensive loss, cash flows, and changes in equity for the year ended March 31, 2022, and for the period from incorporation on February 8, 2021, to March 31, 2021, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2022, and 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2022, and for the period from February 8, 2021, to March 31, 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 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.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that as of March 31, 2022, the Company has no business operations, has not generated any revenues, and has incurred losses of $127,884 since inception. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, 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.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with 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 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 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 auditor's 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 these financial statements.
2 | Page
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 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 conditions may cause the Company 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.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 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.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Aaron D. Oye.

Notes to the Financial Statements
March 31, 2022
- NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Benz Capital Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on February 8, 2021. The Company is a Capital Pool Company ("CPC") as defined by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") Policy 2.4. The Company has not commenced commercial operations and has no significant assets. On October 4, 2021, the Company completed an initial public offering and is now listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "BCC.P". The Company's registered office is located at 927 Poirier Street, Coquitlam, British Columbia, V3J 6C3.
As a CPC, the Company's principal business is the identification, evaluation and acquisition of assets, properties or businesses or participation therein subject to, in certain cases, shareholder approval and acceptance by the Exchange. The proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, with the exception that up to $3,000 per month from its proceeds may be used for general administrative expenses. Where an acquisition or participation (the "Qualifying Transaction") is warranted, additional funding may be required. The ability of the Company to fund its potential future operations and commitments is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain additional financing. Such an acquisition will be subject to regulatory approval and, if required, shareholder approval.
As at March 31, 2022, the Company has no business operations and its only assets are cash and amounts receivable. The Company has not generated any revenues and has incurred losses of $127,884 since inception. There is no assurance that it will be able to identify or complete a Qualifying Transaction which casts significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon the injection of a successful project, achieving a profitable level of operations and also on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. The Company's ability to achieve these objectives cannot be determined at this time.
- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company prepares its annual financial statements (the "Financial Statements") in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). All financial information is reported in the Company's functional and presentation currency, being the Canadian dollar, unless otherwise noted. These Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
The Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors on July 28, 2022.
Significant accounting judgments and estimates
Estimates and judgements are continuously evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.

Critical Judgments
Going Concern
The preparation of these Financial Statements requires management to make judgments regarding the going concern assumption for the Company as discussed in Note 1.
Valuation of share-based payments
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for valuation of share-based payments. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company's earnings and equity reserves.
Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be significant. Significant estimates made by management affecting these Financial Statements include:
Deferred Tax Assets & Liabilities
The estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the Company's ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income prior to expiry of those deductions. Management assesses whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, which in turn is dependent upon the successful completion of a Qualifying Transactions and future profitable operations. To the extent that management's assessment of the Company's ability to utilize future tax deductions changes, the Company would be required to recognize more or fewer deferred tax assets, and future income tax provisions or recoveries could be affected. The measurement of deferred income tax provision is subject to uncertainty associated with the timing of future events and changes in legislation, tax rates and interpretations by tax authorities.
Share-based payments
Management is required to make certain estimates when determining the fair value of stock option awards, and the number of awards that are expected to vest. These estimates affect the amount recognized as share-based compensation in the statement of comprehensive loss.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes deposits held with banks that are available on demand.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified into three categories: Amortized Cost, Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income ("FVOCI") and Fair Value through Profit and Loss ("FVPL"). The classification of financial assets is determined by their context in the Company's business model and by the characteristics of the financial asset's contractual cash flows.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is typically the transaction price unless a financial instrument contains a significant financing component. Subsequent measurement is dependent on the financial instrument's classification.
The Company's amounts receivable, and trade and other payables are measured at amortized cost. The contractual cash flows received from the financial assets are solely payments of principal and interest and are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows. The financial assets and financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The Company's cash is classified as a financial asset measured at fair value through profit and loss.
The Company has no financial instruments measured at FVOCI
Impairment of financial assets is determined by measuring the assets' expected credit loss ("ECL"). Amounts are due within one year or less; therefore, these financial assets are not considered to have a significant financing component and a lifetime ECL is measured at the date of initial recognition of the amounts receivable.
Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, such as outstanding share options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, if dilutive. For this purpose, the "treasury stock method" is used which assumes proceeds upon the exercise of share options and warrants are used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Diluted loss per share does not adjust the loss attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted loss per share are the same for the periods presented.

Notes to the Financial Statements
March 31, 2022
Income Taxes
Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in net income or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income or loss. Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year-end date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill and temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred Financing Costs
Financing costs incurred related to the Company's financings are deferred. Deferred costs consist primarily of agent and professional fees. Costs will be charged to share capital upon the issuance of shares. In the event that the share issuance does not occur, the costs will be charged to income in the period.
Share Capital
The Company's common shares, and any future offerings of share warrants and options are classified as equity instruments. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity.
Related party transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
The new accounting standards and amendments to existing standards that have been issued and that the Company will be required to adopt in future years are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements

4. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Capital is comprised of the Company’s shareholders’ equity and any debt that it may issue. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial strength and to protect its ability to meet its on-going liabilities, to continue as a going concern, to maintain creditworthiness and to maximize returns for shareholders over the long term. Protecting the ability to pay current and future liabilities includes maintaining capital above minimum regulatory levels, current financial strength rating requirements and internally determined capital guidelines and calculated risk management levels.
The Company does not have any externally imposed capital requirements to which it is subject other than the restriction on the use of cash as referred to in Note 1.
Current capital will only be sufficient to identify and evaluate a limited number of assets and businesses for the purpose of identifying and completing a Qualifying Transaction. Additional funds may be required to finance the Company’s Qualifying Transaction.
5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, amounts receivable, and trade and other payables. The fair value of the financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted. The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
a) Credit risk
The Company’s credit risk is mainly attributable to its liquid financial assets: cash and amounts receivable. The Company deposits cash with high credit quality financial institutions and credit risk is considered to be minimal. Amounts receivable were received subsequent to the year ended March 31, 2022. The Companies maximum exposure to credit risk is $554,828, which is the carrying value of the Company’s cash and amounts receivable at March 31, 2022.
b) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The risk that the Company will realize a cash loss is limited as the Company’s liabilities are non-interest bearing. As at March 31, 2022, the Company is not exposed to any significant interest rate risk.
c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is not able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at March 31, 2022, the Company had a cash balance of $497,078 to settle current liabilities of $24,966. Additional funds will be required to identify and evaluate potential qualifying transactions.

However, other than in connection with a Qualifying Transaction, during the time that the Company is a CPC, the aggregate number of common shares issuable upon exercise of all options granted under the Option Plan shall not exceed 10% of the common shares of the Company issued and outstanding at the closing of the Company's initial public offering. Such options will be exercisable for a period of up to ten years from the date of grant.
The Board of Directors determines the exercise price per common shares, the number of options granted to individual directors, officers, employees and consultants and all other terms and conditions of the options. The Option Plan is subject to regulatory approval.
