8. ACQUISITION OF NETCOINS
On August 1, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Netcoins Inc., NTC Holdings Corp. and NTC Holdings USA Corp., (hereinafter referred to as “Netcoins”) through its wholly-owned subsidiary 1208810 B.C. Ltd. (the “Acquisition”) by issuing 37,500,000 common shares. The common shares were valued at the market price per common share on the close date of the Acquisition.
The Company has determined the Acquisition is a business combination as the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. The Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair value at the acquisition date.
The Company applied a cost approach, specifically a historical cost approach, for measuring the fair value of the Netcoins App. This valuation method used the historical costs of development related to the development and enhancement of the Netcoins App.
Details of the purchase consideration, the fair value of the net assets acquired and goodwill are as follows:
| Purchase consideration: 37,500,000 common shares issued at $0.075 per share Fair value of assets and liabilities acquired: Cash and cash equivalents Amounts receivable Digital currency inventory Prepaids Right-of-use-asset Equipment Intangible asset - Netcoins App Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Customer deposits Lease liability Identifiable net assets acquired Goodwill |

At September 30, 2021, the right-of-use asset is an office lease entered into by the Company commencing March 1, 2021, which terminates on February 29, 2024. The right-of-use asset is amortized over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
As at September 30, 2021, the Company’s financial instruments are comprised of cash and restricted cash, accounts payable, customer deposits and lease liability. The fair value of accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to their short-term maturity. Fair values of financial instruments are classified in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine fair values. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
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 (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
As at September 30, 2021, the fair value of cash and restricted cash held by the Company was based on Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Digital currency assets are measured using level two fair values, determined by taking the rate from www.coinmarketcap.com.
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. The Company has cash balances but no interest-bearing debt. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, cash on deposit with fiat to cryptocurrency exchanges, and restricted cash. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in variable interest investment-grade demand deposit certificates issued by financial institutions with which it keeps its bank accounts and management believes the risk to be remote. Credit risk associated with digital currencies proceeds collected by vendors on behalf of the Company is limited as transactions are usually settled within 1 to 15 days. The Company’s credit risk has not changed significantly from the prior year.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company manages liquidity risk by ensuring that it has sufficient cash and other financial resources available to meet its short-term obligations. The Company forecasts cash flows for a period of twelve months to identify financial requirements. These requirements are met by accessing financing through private placements.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’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, commodity prices and equity prices.
- i. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from changes in market rates of interest that could adversely affect the Company. The Company currently has no interest-bearing financial instruments other than cash, so its exposure to interest rate risk is insignificant.
ii. Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk arises from fluctuations in foreign currencies versus the Canadian dollar that could adversely affect reported balances and transactions denominated in those currencies. The Company currently has investment assets, some liabilities and revenue or expenses denominated in a foreign currency, so is exposed to foreign currency risk.
- iii. Commodity and equity price risk
Commodity and equity price risk arises from market fluctuations in commodity and equity prices that could adversely affect the Company’s operations. The Company’s current exposure to equity price risk is limited to declines in the values and volumes including those of its own equity shares, which could impede its ability to raise additional funds when required.
Digital currencies risk
Digital asset prices are affected by various forces including global supply and demand, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation and the global political and economic conditions. The profitability of the Company is directly related to the current and future market price of digital assets. In addition, the Company may not be able liquidate its digital currency inventory at its desired price if required. A decline in the market prices for digital assets could negatively impact the Company’s future operations. The Company has not hedged the conversion of any of its sales of digital assets. Digital assets have a limited history and the fair value historically has been very volatile. Historical performance of digital assets is not indicative of their future price performance.
15. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company includes all components of equity in the definition of capital. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its blockchain technology and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust capital structure, the Company may consider issuing new shares, and/or issue debt, acquire or dispose of assets, or adjust the amount of cash and investments on hand. The Company is not currently subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The Company has been dependent upon external financings to fund activities. Until such time as it begins to generate revenue, in order to carry out planned expenditures and pay for administrative costs the Company will spend its existing working capital and may seek to raise additional funds as needed.
In order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. The Company’s investment policy is to keep its cash on deposit in interest bearing Canadian chartered bank accounts.

16. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
During the period ended September 30, 2021, the Company had two legal claims filed against it by former employees:
-
a) Ms. Robin Martin (the “Complainant”) filed a complaint against the Company with the BC Human Rights Tribunal claiming discrimination contrary to the Human Rights Code: Employment (S.13): Physical Disability. Ms. Martin is seeking the following remedies: (a) a declaration that the Company’s is in contravention of the Human Rights Code; (b) an order for the reinstatement of Ms. Martin’s employment; (c) alternately, an order for damages in compensation for Ms. Martin’s lost wages and benefits, and injury to dignity; and (d) such other relief as may be advised by the Tribunal at the hearing. An early settlement meeting was held in August 2020; however, a resolution was not reached. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the Company and the Complainant reached an agreement, on a without prejudice basis, whereby the Company agreed to pay $36,000 to settle all claims made by the Complainant (see Note 18(c)).
-
b) On October 28, 2019, the Company received Notice of Civil Claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia by Mr. Marty Anstey, the Company’s former CTO, alleging constructive dismissal. The claimant has claimed $450,000 in damages. The claim is being contested by the Company. The Company believes the claim has no merit and will vigorously defend against the claim. No provision has been recognized in respect to this claim as there is no present obligation and the probability of settlement cannot be determined.
