FluroTech Ltd. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements March 31, 2020 (In Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
FluroTech Ltd. (the “Company” or “FluroTech”), incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), is a technology and marketing company whose core business is focused on the commercialization of new technologies related to the cannabis and hemp industries. The Company’s shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “TEST” and on the OTCQB under the symbol “FLURF”. It is headquartered at 7 - 3535 Research Rd NW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The Company resulted from the amalgamation of CannaTest Photonics Ltd. (“CannaTest”) and Snow Eagle Resources Ltd. (“Snow Eagle”) on May 24, 2018. CannaTest was the accounting entity prior to the amalgamation and was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), on January 26, 2017.
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to operate for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
At March 31, 2020, the Company had not achieved profitable operations since its inception and had an accumulated deficit of $11,855,154 (December 31, 2019 - $10,895,897) and recognized a cash flow deficiency from operations during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 of $984,678 (March 31, 2019 – $1,006,792). Whether and when the Company can attain profitability and positive cash flows from operations is uncertain. The lack of profitable operations and cash flow deficiency results in a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
At March 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of $1,884,321 (December 31, 2019 - $2,794,255).
Management’s view is that the success of the Company is dependent upon the successful development and commercialization of its test equipment, the related test kits and achieving profitable operations.
The condensed interim financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern basis was not appropriate. Consequently, adjustments would then be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses and their classifications. Such adjustments, if required, could be material.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Statement of compliance
These condensed interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
These condensed interim financial statements do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with FluroTech’s audited annual financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2019.
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies as outlined in Notes 2 of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
7
FluroTech Ltd. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements March 31, 2020 (In Canadian dollars)
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are consistent with those disclosed in Note 2 of the December 31, 2019 audited consolidated financial statements.
These condensed interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on May 27, 2020.
3. INVENTORY
As at March 31, 2020, finished goods were $420,280 and raw materials were $191,766 (December 31, 2019 - $446,350 and $212,425 respectively). Inventory of $24,079 was recognized in cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (2019 - $Nil).

5. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company’s objectives when managing its capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, to meet its capital expenditures for its continued operations, and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital within a framework of acceptable risk. The Company manages the capital structure and adjusts it considering changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust
8
FluroTech Ltd. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements March 31, 2020 (In Canadian dollars)
its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, issue new debt, or acquire or dispose of assets. As at March 31, 2020, the Company has not entered into any debt financing. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK FACTORS
At March 31, 2020, the Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.
Fair value hierarchy
Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
-
Level 1 - valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2 - valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
-
Level 3 - valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Cash is classified as level 1.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with the counterparty's inability to fulfil its payment obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist principally of cash. All the Company’s cash is held at a Canadian Chartered Bank. Management believes that the risk of loss is minimal, but the Company is subject to concentration of credit risk.
The Company has a GST receivable for $21,750 (2019 - $28,127) and trade receivables of $50,044 (2019 - $44,319), of which, $50,044 (2019 - $25,506) is past due. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company has collected the GST receivable and $31,650 of the trade receivables.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company currently settles its financial obligations with cash. As at March 31, 2020, the Company's financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company manages its liquidity risk by reviewing its capital requirements on an ongoing basis. There have been no changes in the Company's strategy with respect to credit/liquidity risk in the period.

FluroTech Ltd. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements March 31, 2020 (In Canadian dollars)
The timing of cash outflows relating to the financial liabilities is outlined in the table below:
| 1 year | 2-5 years | >5 years | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 412,422 | - | - | 412,422 |
| Balance March 31, 2020 | 412,422 | - | - | 412,422 |
Interest risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. From time to time, the Company holds its cash in fixed rate and variable rate GICs. The interest income on variable rate GICs may fluctuate due to changes in the prime rate, the Company doesn’t expect fluctuations to have a material impact on future cash flows. The Company is not exposed to any interest rate risk on its accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

However, several shareholders have not submitted their letters of transmittal which has resulted in their shares not being released from escrow.
