Risk Factors
An investment in the Shares should be considered highly speculative due to the nature of the Company’s business and the present stage of its development and should only be considered by investors who can afford the total loss of their investment.
A prospective purchaser should be aware that there are various risks that could have a material adverse effect on, among other things, the property (including its software and any applicable intellectual property), business and condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company. These risk factors, together with all of the other information contained in this Prospectus, including information contained in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information”, should be carefully reviewed and considered before the decision to purchase any shares.
The Company has a limited operating history upon which to evaluate the Company. The Company has no history of earnings and the Company may need to raise additional capital in the future. The intended use of proceeds
described in this prospectus is an estimate only and is subject to change. The Company and its assets may become subject to uninsurable risks.
The Company competes with other companies with greater financial resources and technical facilities. The Company’s operations may involve the storage and transmission of customer or user data, including personally identifiable information, and security incidents could result in unauthorized access to, the loss of, or unauthorized disclosure of such information. The Company’s success will depend on its ability to attract users to its software and services. The Company’s success may be heavily dependent upon its intellectual property and software. Companies in the Internet, software and mobile app industries own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights.
13
The success of the Company’s products and services will depend largely on the development and maintenance of the Internet infrastructure. The Company’s ability to provide its products and services depends on the continuing operation of its software and marketplaces. The Company’s software and products could contain undetected errors or “bugs” that could adversely affect their performance. The Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make scheduled payments to its contractors, service providers and merchants will depend on future financial performance. The Company’s future growth and profitability will depend on the effectiveness and efficiency of advertising and promotional expenditures. Maintaining and promoting the Company’s brand will depend largely on its ability to continue to provide useful, reliable and innovative services. The Company’s future success will depend in part on its ability to modify or enhance its products to meet consumer needs, add functionality and address technological developments. The Company and its users are or may be subject to numerous regulations that affect the technology industry. The Company is currently largely dependent on the performance of its directors and management and there is no assurance that their services can be maintained. The Company has an unlimited number of common shares that may be issued by the board of directors without further action or approval of the Company’s shareholders. Income tax consequences in relation to the securities will vary according to the circumstances of each purchaser. Situations may arise where the interests of certain of the Company’s directors and officers could conflict with the interests of the Company. An economic slowdown or downturn of global capital markets may make the raising of capital by equity or debt financing more difficult. The Company has not declared or paid any dividends and does not currently have a policy on the payment of dividends. Preparation of its financial statements
requires the Company to use estimates and assumptions, and actual amounts could differ from those based on these estimates and assumptions. Legal, accounting and other expenses associated with public company reporting requirements have increased significantly in recent years.

TRADING INFORMATION

ESCROWED SECURITIES
Escrowed Securities
Under the applicable policies and notices of the Canadian Securities Administrators, securities held by Principals are required to be held in escrow in accordance with the national escrow regime applicable to initial public distributions. Equity securities, including Shares, owned or controlled by the Principals of the Company are subject to the escrow requirements. In connection with the proposed Listing, the Company expects to enter into the Escrow Agreement in accordance with NP 46-201 as described herein.
Each of the shareholders have entered into an agreement (the “ Escrow Agreement ”) with the Company and Integral Transfer
24
Agency (Canada) (the “ Trustee ”), whereby they have agreed to deposit in escrow their common shares (the “ Escrowed Shares ”).
Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement entered into among the Escrow Agent, the Company, and the Principals, 3,900,000 Shares (the “ Escrowed Securities ”) are held in escrow with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agreement provides that 10% of the Escrowed Securities will be released from escrow upon the Listing Date and that an additional 15% will be released therefrom every 6-month interval thereafter, over a period of 36 months.
The Company is an “emerging issuer” as defined in the applicable policies and notices of the Canadian Securities Administrators. If the Company achieves “established issuer” status during the term of the Escrow Agreement, it will “graduate” resulting in a catch-up release and an accelerated release of any securities remaining in escrow under the 18 month schedule applicable to established issuers as if the Company had originally been classified as an established issuer.
Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrowed Securities may not be transferred or otherwise dealt with during the term of the Escrow Agreement unless the transfers or dealings within the escrow are:
-
(a) transfers to continuing or, upon their appointment, incoming directors and senior officers of the Company or of a material operating subsidiary, with approval of the Board;
-
(b) transfers to an RRSP or similar trustee plan provided that the only beneficiaries are the transferor or the transferor’s spouse or children or parents;
-
(c) transfers upon bankruptcy to the trustee in bankruptcy;
-
(d) pledges to a financial institution as collateral for a loan, provided that upon a realization the securities remain subject to escrow; and
-
(e) tenders of Escrowed Securities to a take-over bid are permitted provided that, if the tenderer is a Principal of the successor corporation upon completion of the take-over bid, securities received in exchange for tendered Escrowed Securities are substituted in escrow on the basis of the successor corporation’s escrow classification.
The following table sets forth details of the Escrowed Securities that, as of the date of this Prospectus, will be subject to the Escrow Agreement:
| ent: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Designation of Class | Number of Securities to be held in Escrow |
Percentage of Class |
| Shares | 3,900,000 | 25.4% |
(1) Based on 15,373,400 Common Shares issued and outstanding following the exercise of all the Special Warrants.
A detailed breakdown of the Shares to be escrowed in connection with the Listing is shown in the following table:
| Name of Shareholder | Designation of Security |
Number of Securities to be held in Escrow |
Percentage of Class |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vladimir Vinogradov | Shares | 1,000,000 | 6.5% |
| George Kovalyov | Shares | 1,000,000 | 6.5% |
| Oleksandr Havrylov | Shares | 900,000 | 5.9% |
| Artem Baranets | Shares | 1,000,000 | 6.5% |
NP 46‐201 provides that all shares of a company owned or controlled by Principals will be escrowed at the time of the Company’s initial public offering, unless the shares held by the Principal or issuable to the Principal upon conversion of convertible securities held by the Principal collectively represent less than 1% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company after giving effect to the initial public offering.
An issuer will be classified for the purposes of escrow as either an “exempt issuer”, an “established issuer” or an “emerging issuer” as those terms are defined in NP 46‐201.
25
Uniform terms of automatic timed release escrow apply to Principals of exchange listed issuers, differing only according to the classification of the issuer. The Company anticipates that it will be classified by the CSE as an “emerging issuer”. As such, the Company anticipates that the following automatic timed releases will apply to the securities held by the Principals listed in the table above:
| Date of Automatic Timed Release | Amount of Escrowed Securities Released |
|---|---|
| On the Listing Date | 1/10 of the Escrowed Securities |
| 6 months after the Listing Date | 1/6 of the remaining Escrowed Securities |
| 12 months after the Listing Date | 1/5 of the remaining Escrowed Securities |
| 18 months after the Listing Date | 1/4 of the remaining Escrowed Securities |
| 24 months after the Listing Date | 1/3 of the remaining Escrowed Securities |

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
For the purposes of this section, “Named Executive Officers” means the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Oleksandr Havrylov has been the Chief Executive Officer of the Company since April 15, 2021, and George Kovalyov has been the Chief Financial Officer of the Company since April 15, 2021.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The Company does not have a formal compensation program for its directors or management. The Board of Directors relies on the experience of its members as current or former officers or directors of other junior companies to ensure that total compensation paid to the Company’s management is fair and reasonable.
The Board meets to discuss and determine management compensation, without reference to formal objectives, criteria or analysis. The general philosophy of the Company’s compensation strategy is to: (a) encourage management to achieve a high level of performance and results with a view to increasing long-term shareholder value; (b) align management’s interests with the long-term interest of shareholders; (c) provide a reasonable compensation package to attract and retain highly qualified executives and directors; and (d) ensure that total compensation paid takes into account the Company’s overall financial position.
The compensation to executive officers may comprised of salaries and, if and when granted, incentive stock options. In establishing levels of cash compensation and the granting of stock options, the executive’s performance, level of expertise and responsibilities are considered.
Incentive stock options are granted pursuant to the Plan, which is designed to encourage share ownership on the part of management, directors and employees. The Board believes that the Plan aligns the interests of the Company’s personnel with shareholders by linking compensation to the longer-term performance of the Company’s shares. The granting of incentive stock options is a significant component of executive compensation as it allows the Company to reward each executive officer’s efforts to increase shareholder value without requiring the use of the Company’s cash reserves.
Stock options may be granted with the approval of the Board at the time of the executive’s hiring or appointment and periodically thereafter. Previous grants of options are taken into account by the Board when it considers the granting of new stock options.
Incentive Plan Awards
There are currently no stock options issued and outstanding. The Company may grant options to its directors, officers, employees and consultants pursuant to the Plan following listing of the Company’s shares on the Exchange. See “Options to Purchase Securities”.

The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the Company’s financial reporting procedures, internal controls and the performance of the financial management and external auditors of the Company. The Audit Committee also reviews the annual and interim financial statements and makes recommendations to the Board.
The Audit Committee is comprised of Oleksandr Havrylov, Vladimir Vinogradov and Yuliia Baranets, all of whom are “financially literate” and two of whom are “independent”, as those terms are defined in NI 52-110. Oleksandr Havrylov is not independent. The
33
education and experience of each audit committee member that is relevant to the performance of his responsibilities as an audit committee member, and in particular the education or experience that provides each member with (i) an understanding of the accounting principles used by the Company to prepare its financial statements, (ii) the ability to assess the general application of such accounting principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and provisions, (iii) experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company’s financial statements, and (iv) an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, is as follows:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
On June 30, 2005, National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“ NI 58-101 ”) and National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “ Guidelines ”), came into force. The Guidelines address matters such as the constitution of and the functions to be performed by the Company’s board. NI 58-101 requires that the Company disclose its approach to corporate governance with reference to the Guidelines. The board of the Company is committed to ensuring that the Company has an effective corporate governance system, which adds value and assists the Company in achieving its objectives.
Board of Directors
Each of Vladimir Vinogradov and Yuliia Baranets is an “independent” Director, according to the definition set out in NI 52- 110. Each of Oleksandr Havrylov and George Kovalyov is not independent as he is currently an executive officer of the Company. The independent Directors believe that their knowledge of the Company’s business and their independence are sufficient to facilitate the functioning of the Board independently of management. To facilitate open and candid discussion among the Board’s independent Directors, the independent Directors have the discretion to meet in private in the absence of the other Directors whenever they
37
believe it is appropriate to do so. To date, the independent Directors have not held a meeting at which non-independent Directors and members of management were not in attendance.
Other Directorships
The directors of the Company are presently directors of other reporting issuers, as follows:
| Director | Other Issuers |
|---|---|
| Oleksandr Havrylov | None |
| Mairzyme, Inc. | |
| George Kovalyov | DGTL Holdings Inc. |
| Health Logic Interactive Inc. | |
| Vladimir Vinogradov | None |
| Yuliia Baranets | None |
Orientation and Continuing Education
Management will ensure that a new appointee to the Board receives the appropriate written materials to fully apprise him or her of the duties and responsibilities of a director pursuant to applicable law and policy. Each new director brings a different skill set and professional background, and with this information, the Board is able to determine what orientation to the nature and operations of the Company’s business will be necessary and relevant to each new director.
Ethical Business Conduct
The Board expects management to operate the business of the Company in a manner that enhances shareholder value and is consistent with the highest level of integrity. Management is expected to execute the Company’s business plan and to meet performance objectives and goals. In addition, the Board must comply with conflict of interest provisions in Canadian corporate law, including relevant securities regulatory instruments, in order to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or executive officer has a material interest.
Nomination of Directors
Given the Company’s current stage of development and size of the Board, the Board is presently of the view that it functions effectively as a committee of the whole with respect to the nomination of directors. The entire Board will assess potential nominees and take responsibility for selecting new directors. Any nominees are expected to be generally the result of recruitment efforts by the Board members, including both formal and informal discussions among Board members and the CEO of the Company.
The Company’s Articles include a provision requiring advance notice of the nomination of persons to act as directors of the Company. Under this provision, subject only to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at any annual meeting of shareholders, or at any special meeting of shareholders if one of the purposes for which the special meeting was called was the election of directors, (a) by or at the direction of the Board or an authorized officer of the Company, including pursuant to a notice of meeting, (b) by or at the direction or request of one or more shareholders pursuant to a proposal made in accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) or a requisition of the shareholders made in accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) or (c) by any person (a “ Nominating Shareholder ”) (i) who, at the close of business on the date of the giving of the notice of nomination and on the record date for notice of such meeting, is entered in the central securities register of the Company as a holder of one or more shares carrying the right to vote at such meeting or who beneficially owns shares that are entitled to be voted at such meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set out in the advance notice provision, including without limitation that such notice must be provided to the Company (A) in the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, not more than 65 days and not less than 30 days prior to the date of the annual meeting of shareholders (provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting of shareholders is called for a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made (the “ Notice Date ”), notice by the Nominating Shareholder may be made not later than the close of business on the 10th business day following the Notice Date); and (B) in the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes), not later than the close of business on the 15th business day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting of shareholders was made.
38
Compensation
The Company does not have a Compensation Committee. Compensation matters for the Company’s directors and officers are dealt with by the full Board. The Board meets to discuss and determine Director and management compensation without reference to formal objectives, criteria or analysis.
Other Board Committees
The only Board committee of the Company is the Audit Committee.
Assessments
The Board annually reviews its own performance and effectiveness. Neither the Company nor the Board has determined formal means or methods to regularly assess the Board, its committees or the individual directors with respect to their effectiveness and contributions. Effectiveness is subjectively measured by comparing actual corporate results with stated objectives. The contributions of an individual director are informally monitored by the other Board members, having in mind the business strengths of the individual and the purpose of originally nominating the individual to the Board.
The Board is of the view that the Company’s corporate governance practices are appropriate and effective for the Company, given its relatively small size and limited operations. The Company’s method of corporate governance allows for the Company to operate efficiently, with simple checks and balances that control and monitor management and corporate functions without excessive administrative burden.
LISTING APPLICATION
The Company has applied to list the Shares on the CSE. Listing on the CSE is subject to the Company fulfilling all of the listing requirements and conditions of the CSE. There is no guarantee that the Shares will be listed on the CSE or on any exchange.

39
RISK FACTORS
The following are certain factors relating to the business of the Company, which factors investors should carefully consider when making an investment decision concerning the Shares. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company, or that the Company currently deems immaterial, may also impair the operations of the Company. If any such risks actually occur, the financial condition, liquidity and results of operations of the Company could be materially adversely affected and the ability of the Company to implement its growth plans could be adversely affected.
An investor should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below. The risks and uncertainties described below are not an exhaustive list. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that are considered to be immaterial may also adversely affect the Company’s business. If any one or more of the following risks occur, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed. Further, if the Company fails to meet the expectations of the public market in any given period, the market price of the Shares could decline. An investment in the Shares should only be made by persons who can afford a significant or total loss of their investment.
The risks discussed below also include forward‐looking statements and actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward‐looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements” in this Prospectus.
COVID-19 Outbreak
In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged in Wuhan, China. Since then, it has spread to several other countries and infections have been reported around the world. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. In response to the outbreak, governmental authorities in Canada and internationally have introduced various recommendations and measures to try to limit the pandemic, including travel restrictions, border closures, non-essential business closures, quarantines, self-isolations, shelters-in-place and social distancing. The COVID-19 outbreak and the response of governmental authorities to try to limit it are having a significant impact on the private sector and individuals, including unprecedented business, employment and economic disruptions. The continued spread of COVID-19 nationally and globally could have an adverse impact on our business, operations and financial results. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has implemented precautionary measures at its corporate office, including limiting visits to essential personnel and ensuring proper protocols around sanitation and social distancing.
The outbreak of COVID-19 may cause disruptions to the Company’s business and operational plans. These disruptions may include disruptions resulting from (i) shortages of employees, (ii) unavailability of contractors and subcontractors, (iii) interruption of supplies from third parties upon which the Company relies, (iv) restrictions that governments impose to address the COVID-19 outbreak, and (v) restrictions that the Company and its contractors and subcontractors impose to ensure the safety of employees and others. Further, it is presently not possible to predict the extent or durations of these disruptions. These disruptions may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Such adverse effect could be rapid and unexpected. These disruptions may severely impact the Company’s ability to carry out its business plans for 2021 in accordance with the use of proceeds section above.
Dependence on Key Personnel and Qualified and Experienced Employees
Clara’s success depends on the efforts and abilities of certain senior officers and key employees. Certain of Clara’s employees have significant experience in the IT development industry. While the Company does not foresee any reason why such officers and key employees will not remain with the Company, if for any reason they do not, Clara could be adversely affected. Clara Capital Corp. has not purchased key man life insurance for any of these individuals. The Company’s success also depends on the availability of qualified and experienced employees to work in the Company’s operations and its ability to attract and retain such employees. In addition, the Company’s ability to keep essential operating staff in place may also be challenged as a result of potential COVID-19 outbreaks or quarantines.
Dilution
Shares, including rights, warrants, special warrants, subscription receipts and other securities to purchase, to convert into or to exchange into Shares, may be created, issued, sold and delivered on such terms and conditions and at such times as the Board may determine.
40
Limited Operating History
The Company is an early stage company. As such, the Company will be subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business enterprise, including under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders’ investment and the likelihood of its success must be considered in light of its early stage of operations.
Uncertain Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the period from incorporation to May 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $13,423. At May 31, 2023, the Company had working capital of $159,172. As of May 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $92,470. At May 31, 2023, the Company had working capital of $259,125. The Company may need to raise additional capital by way of an offering of equity securities, an offering of debt securities, or by obtaining financing through a bank or other entity. The Company has not established a limit as to the amount of debt it may incur nor has it adopted a ratio of its equity to debt allowance. If the Company needs to obtain additional financing, there is no assurance that financing will be available from any source, that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or that any future offering of securities will be successful. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, there may be a significant dilution in the value of the Company’s common shares. The Company could suffer adverse consequences if it is unable to obtain additional capital which would cast substantial doubt on its ability to continue its operations and growth.
Uninsurable Risks
The Company’s initial focus on Amazon software, is subject to certain risks, including those described in this Prospectus. It is not always possible to insure fully against such risks and the Company may decide not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or for other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business and operations and could reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company. The Company currently does not carry any insurance.
Lack of Operating Cash Flow
The Company currently has no source of operating cash flow and is expected to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The Company’s failure to achieve profitability and positive operating cash flows could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations. If the Company sustains losses over an extended period of time, it may be unable to continue our business. Further development of Clara’s software will require the commitment of substantial financial resources.
Risks Associated with Acquisitions
If appropriate opportunities present themselves, the Company may acquire other companies. The Company currently has no understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to any other material acquisition and no other material acquisition is currently being pursued. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify, negotiate or finance future acquisitions successfully, or to integrate such acquisitions with its current business. The process of integrating an acquired company may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures and may absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of the Company’s business. Future acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities and/or amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Executive Employee Recruitment and Retention
The success of the Company will be dependent upon the performance of its management and key employees. The loss of any key executive or manager of the Company may have an adverse effect on the future of the Company’s business.
As the Company’s business activity grows, it will require additional key personnel as well as additional operations staff. There is no assurance that it will be successful in attracting, training and retaining qualified personnel as competition for persons with these skill sets increases. If the Company is not successful in attracting, training and retaining qualified personnel, the efficiency of its operations could be impaired, which could have an adverse impact on its future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.
41
Adverse General Economic Conditions
The unprecedented events in global financial markets in the past several years have had a profound impact on the global economy. Many industries were impacted by these market conditions.
In recent years, the securities markets in Canada, as well as in other countries around the world, have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price that have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur. It may be anticipated that any quoted market for the Shares will be subject to market trends and conditions generally, notwithstanding any potential success of the Company in developing assets, creating revenues, cash flows or earnings. The value of securities will be affected by market volatility. An active public market for the Shares might not develop or be sustained. If an active public market for the Shares does not develop or continue, the liquidity of a shareholder’s investment may be limited and the price of the Shares may decline.
Claims and Legal Proceedings
The Company may be subject to claims or legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of business activities, including relating to former employees. These matters may give rise to legal uncertainties or have unfavorable results. The Company may carry liability insurance coverage and mitigate risks that can be reasonably estimated; however, there is a risk that insurance may not be adequate to cover all possible risks arising from the Company’s operations. In addition, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future that may result in litigation or unfavorable resolution which could materially adversely impact the Company’s financial position, cash flow, results of operations, and reputation, regardless of the specific outcome.
Force Majeure
The Company’s projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company, including prices on world markets, labor unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.
Uncertainty of Use of Proceeds
Although the Company has set out its intended use of proceeds in this Prospectus, these intended uses are estimates only and subject to change. While management does not contemplate any material variation, management does retain broad discretion in the application of such proceeds. The failure by the Company to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, including the Company’s ability to achieve its stated business objectives.
Competition
The development of Amazon software services is highly competitive. The level of competition has increased in recent years, and larger software providers have established a significant market share. Some of the Company’s competitors are large technology companies that have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources; may be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, sale and support of their products and services; may have more extensive customer bases and broader customer relationships; and, may have longer operating histories and more brand recognition. In some cases, these companies may choose to offer their services at lower prices or rates in response to new competitors entering the market. The Company’s competitors may develop or offer services that have price or other advantages over the services the Company provides or may provide in the future. In competing with such companies, the Company may be unable to establish demand for its services, which could adversely affect the establishment of its operations.
Security and Fraud
The Company’s operations may involve the storage and transmission of customer or user data, and security incidents could result in unauthorized access to, the loss of, or unauthorized disclosure of such information. Although the Company has what it deems to be sufficient security around its system to prevent unauthorized access, it must ensure that it continually enhances security and fraud protection, and if the Company is unable to do so, it may become subject to liability for privacy breaches or consequences that result from any unanticipated incident. As a result of advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments, a compromise or breach of the Company’s security precautions may occur.
The techniques used to obtain unauthorized, improper or illegal access to the Company’s systems, its data or its customers’ or users’
42
data and to sabotage its system are constantly evolving and may be difficult to detect quickly. An information breach in the Company’s system and loss of confidential information could have a longer and more significant impact on its business operations than a hardware failure. A compromise in its security system could severely harm its business by the loss of its customers’ or users’ confidence in the Company and thus the loss of their business. The Company may be required to spend significant funds and other resources to protect against the threat of security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by these breaches. However, protection may not be available at a reasonable price, or at all. Any failure to adequately comply with necessary protective measures could result in fees, penalties and/or litigation. Concerns regarding technology security and the privacy of users may also inhibit the growth of the Internet and business relying on the Internet, including the Company’s business. This may result in a reduction in revenues and increase the Company’s operating expenses, which would prevent it from achieving profitability.
Requirement to Attract and Retain Users
The Company’s success will depend on its ability to attract users to its software and services. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to procure a sufficient number of users to its software to reach profitability or continue offering its services.
Reliance on Development and Maintenance of the Internet Infrastructure
The success of the Company’s software and services will depend largely on the development and maintenance of the Internet infrastructure. This includes maintenance of a reliable network backbone with the necessary speed, data capacity, and security, as well as timely development of complementary products, for providing reliable Internet access and services. The Internet has experienced, and is likely to continue to experience, significant growth in the numbers of users and amount of traffic. The Internet infrastructure may be unable to support such demands. In addition, increasing numbers of users, increasing bandwidth requirements, or problems caused by “viruses,” “worms,” and similar programs may harm the performance of the Internet. The backbone computers of the Internet have been the targets of such programs. The Internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure, and it could face outages and delays in the future. These outages and delays could reduce the level of Internet usage generally as well as the level of usage of the Company’s services and reduce its revenues.
Risks Related to Potential Undetected Errors in the Company’s Software
The Company’s software could contain undetected errors or “bugs” that could adversely affect its performance. The occurrence of errors if any may cause the Company to lose market share, damage its reputation and brand name, and reduce its revenues.
Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations
The Company and its customers are or may be subject to numerous regulations that affect the technology industry. Regulation and proposed regulation of the technology industry has increased significantly in recent years, and failure to comply with such rules and regulations may have a negative adverse effect on the Company’s business and operations. The Company is or may be subject to regulations related to privacy, data use and security in the jurisdictions in which it does business, and consumer protection laws, among others. For example, in Canada, the Company is subject to the Canadian Personal Information Protections and Electronic Documents Act and in British Columbia, the Company is subject to the Canadian federal Personal Information Protection Act (“PIPA”). PIPA describes how all private sector organizations must handle the personal information of the public (the Company’s users). Under PIPA, businesses are made accountable for the personal information under their control. Businesses must, among other things, limit the collection of personal information to that which is necessary for their purposes, protect the privacy of any personal information under their control, designate a privacy officer for the company, establish procedures to handle privacy complaints or inquiries, obtain consent from an individual before the business collects, use or disclose his or her personal information, and only use or disclose personal information for reasonable purposes that are appropriate in the circumstances and for the purpose according to which the personal information was collected.
In recent years, there has been heightened legislative and regulatory focus on data security, including requiring consumer notification in the event of a data breach. Regulation of privacy, data use and security may materially increase the Company’s costs and its customers’ costs and may decrease the number of customers that use its services which could materially and adversely affect its profitability. The Company’s failure, or the failure of its customers, to comply with the privacy, data use and security laws and regulations, and any other regulations to which the Company is or becomes subject to, could result in fines, sanctions and damage to its reputation.
Offering Risks
Currently, there is no public market for the Shares and there can be no assurance that an active market for the Shares will develop or be sustained after the Listing Date. If an active public market for the Shares does not develop, the liquidity of an investor’s
43
investment may be limited and the share price may decline below the price paid for the Shares by such investor.
There is no market through which the Shares may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell their Shares. This may affect the pricing of the Shares in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Shares, and the extent of issuer regulation.
The market price of publicly traded shares is affected by many variables not directly related to the success of the Company. These variables include macroeconomic developments in North America and globally, market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries, changes in commodity prices, currency exchange fluctuation and the extent of analytical coverage available to investors concerning the business of the Company.
In recent years, the securities markets have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies, particularly those in the development stage, has experienced wide fluctuations which have not necessarily been related to operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that such fluctuations will not affect the price of the Company’s common shares.
Conflicts of Interest
Certain directors and officers of the Company are, and may continue to be, involved in the technology industry through their direct and indirect participation in corporations, partnerships or joint ventures which are potential competitors of the Company. In particular, the CEO and CFO of the Company will only be devoting 50% and 25% of their time, respectively, to the business and affairs of the Company. Situations may arise in connection with potential acquisitions or investments where the other interests of these directors and officers may conflict with the interests of the Company. Directors and officers of the Company with conflicts of interest will be subject to and will follow the procedures set out in applicable corporate and securities legislation, regulations, rules and policies.
Dividends
The Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its common shares and does not currently have a policy on the payment of dividends. For the foreseeable future, the Company anticipates that it will retain future earnings and other cash resources for the operation and developments of its business. The payment of any future dividends will depend upon earnings and the Company’s financial condition, current and anticipated cash needs and such other factors as the directors of the Company consider appropriate.
Litigation
The Company and/or its directors and officers may be subject to a variety of civil or other legal proceedings, with or without merit. From time to time in the ordinary course of its business, the Company may become involved in various legal proceedings, including commercial, employment and other litigation and claims, as well as governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. Such matters can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources and cause the Company to incur significant expenses. Furthermore, because litigation is inherently unpredictable, the results of any such actions may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The Company encourages each security holder to consult with its own tax or professional advisor to understand the tax considerations generally applicable with purchasing or owning the Company’s securities.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND REGULATORY ACTIONS
Legal Proceedings
The Company was not previously a party to, or the subject of, any legal proceeding nor is the Company currently party to any material legal proceeding or contemplating any legal proceedings which are material to its business. From time to time, however, the Company may be subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Management of the Company is not currently aware of any legal proceedings contemplated against the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Shareholders of Clara Capital Corp.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Clara Capital Corp. (the “Company”), which comprise the statement of financial position as at May 31, 2022 and 2021, and the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, statements of shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2022 and the period from April 15, 2021 (date of incorporation) to May 31, 2021, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at May 31, 2022 and 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2022 and the period from April 15, 2021 (date of incorporation) to May 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
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has no operating income, it has incurred a comprehensive loss of $13,389 and negative cash flow from continuing operating activities of $389 during the year ended May 31, 2022 and it had a deficit of $13,423. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters 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 the 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
- 2 -
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.
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 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with CAS, 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 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.

CLARA CAPITAL CORP. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (EXPRESSED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS)
For the Year ended May 31, 2022 and
Period from Incorporation on April15, 2021 to May 31, 2021
1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern
Clara Capital Corp. (“the Company”) was incorporated on April 15, 2021 pursuant to the Business Corporations Act under the name of Clara Capital Corp. The Company’s head office is located at 34 - 11551 Kingfisher Drive, Richmond BC V7E3N5, Canada.
The Company is a startup company providing the software platform through the Corporation’s website at https://zonpages.com/ for Amazon sellers to manage, launch and promote their products on their landing pages, to control their sales and purchases, to create and increase customer’s email lists, to bring traffic through Facebook.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. At present, the Company has no operating income. The Company had a deficit of $13,423 as of May 31, 2022. Without additional financing, the Company may not be able to fund its ongoing operations and complete development activities. The Company intends to finance its future requirements through a combination of debt and/or equity issuance. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financings or obtain them on favorable terms. These uncertainties may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will need to raise sufficient working capital to maintain operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.
COVID-19
The outbreak of the novel strain of the coronavirus, specifically identified as the COVID-19 pandemic, has caused governments worldwide to enact emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. At this time, it is not possible to reliably determine the impact this will have on the Company’s financial position and operating results.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August 31, 2022.
Basis of Measurement
These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments designated at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.
Functional and presentation currency
The Company records transactions using its functional currency, being the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the functional currency of the Company.
- 8 -
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Financial instruments
Financial assets
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive loss (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The determination of the classification of financial assets is made at initial recognition. Equity instruments that are held for trading (including all equity derivative instruments) are classified as FVTPL; for other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-byinstrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI.
The Company’s accounting policy for each of the categories is as follows:
Financial assets at FVTPL: Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets held at FVTPL are included in profit or loss.
Financial assets at FVTOCI: Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income in which they arise.
Derecognition
A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or the Company no longer retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company uses a simplified approach, as per IFRS 9, to assess impairment, which requires the expected lifetime loss to be recognized at the time of initial recognition of the financial assets. An impairment loss is reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the expected loss decreases and the decrease can be tied to an event occurring after the initial impairment was recognized.
Financial liabilities are designed as either: FVTPL or amortized costs. All financial liabilities are classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost except for financial liabilities at FVTPL. The classification determines the method by which the financial liabilities are carried on the statement of financial position subsequent to inception and how changes in value are recorded.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires with any gain or loss recognized in other income or expense in the statement of loss.
Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre‐tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:
Cash: FVTPL
Income Taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case the income tax is recognized in equity or other comprehensive income.
- 9 -
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted, or substantively enacted, at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are only offset if a legally enforceable right exists to offset the amounts, and the Company intends to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences arising from the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax is calculated using the tax rates expected to apply in the periods in which the assets will be realized or the liabilities settled, based on tax rates and laws enacted, or substantively enacted, by the reporting date. 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.
Finite-lived Intangible Assets
Certain costs incurred in connection with the acquisition and development of software are capitalized to intangible assets. Intangible assets are recorded at cost, which consists of directly attributable costs necessary to create such intangible assets, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The costs mainly include the salaries paid to the software developers and consulting fees. These costs are recognized as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
-
It is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use;
-
Management intends to complete the software product;
-
It can be demonstrated how the software product will generate future economic benefits;
-
Adequate technical, financial, and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software products are available; and
-
The expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.
Intangible assets include marketing related, technology based intangible assets acquired through acquisitions and internally generated intangibles. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives using straight-line amortization methods. The intangible assets are amortized over five years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the cash-generating unit, or "CGU"). The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is the higher of its fair value, less costs of disposal, and its value in use. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment charge is recognized immediately in consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lesser of the revised estimate of recoverable amount, and the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized previously.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Share Capital
Equity instruments are contracts that give a residual interest in the net assets of the Company. Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset.
The Company’s common shares and warrants, are classified as equity instruments. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from proceeds.
Warrants
Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between shares and warrants issued according to their relative fair value. The relative fair value of the share component is credited to share capital and the relative fair value of the warrant component is credited to warrant reserve. Upon exercise of the warrants, consideration paid by the warrant holder together with the amount previously recognized in the warrant reserve account is recorded as an increase to share capital. For those warrants that expire unexercised, the recorded fair value is transferred from warrant reserve to deficit.
Significant Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make judgement, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current future periods.
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make judgements regarding the going concern of the Company, as disclosed in Note 1.
The Company’s functional currency must be determined through an analysis of several indicators, in accordance with IFRS. Judgment is required in determining an entity’s functional currency based on individual facts and circumstances. Management considers the primary and secondary indicators as a hierarchy to determine the functional currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions.
Judgment is used to estimate each component of a tangible and intangible asset’s useful life and is based on an analysis of all pertinent factors including, but not limited to, the expected use of the asset and, in the case of an intangible asset, contractual life without substantial cost. If the estimated useful lives change, this could result in an increase or decrease in the annual amortization and depreciation expense, and future impairment charges
3. Share Capital
a) AUTHORIZED The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares.
b) ISSUED During the period ended May 31, 2021, the Company issued 3,900,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.01 per share for gross proceeds of $39,000. The Company did not incur share issue costs.
- 11 -
4. Warrants
The Company issued special warrants which entitle the holder to acquire, for no additional consideration, one common share unit from the date that the Company’s shares commence trading on a recognized stock exchange. The special warrant is exercisable by the recognized holder at any time after the closing date of this offering for no additional consideration and are deemed to be exercised on the day following the closing and the third business day after a receipt is issued for a prospectus by the security regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada where the special warrants are sold qualifying the common shares to be issued upon the exercise or deemed exercise of the special warrants.
Between June 2021 and August 2021, the Company issued 9,950,000 special warrants of the Company at a price of $0.02 per share for gross proceeds of $199,000.
Between August 2021 and October 2021, the Company issued 714,900 special warrants of the Company at a price of $0.05 per share for gross proceeds of $35,745.
Between October 2021 and May 2022, the Company issued 808,500 special warrants of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share for gross proceeds of $80,850

5. Financial Instruments
The Company classifies its financial instruments measured at fair value at one of three levels according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair value:
-
a. Level 1- quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
b. Level 2- 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); and
-
c. Level 3- inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
The Company’s cash is measured as level 1 input.
6. Financial Risk Management
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk.
Risk management is carried out by the Company's management team with guidance from the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provides regular guidance for overall risk management.
Credit Risk
Credit Risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fall to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s cash is held with reputable institution in Canada.
- 12 -
6. Financial Risk Management (continued)
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’s approach to managing liquidity risk to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company does not have significant liquidity risk.
Market Risks
The Company will be subject to normal market risks including fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. While the Company manages its operations in order to minimize exposure to these risks, the Company has not entered into any derivatives or contracts to hedge or otherwise mitigate this exposure. The Company is not exposed to any significant market risk.
Capital Management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital, defined as shareholders’ equity, are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (Note 1) to maintain a flexible capital structure that optimizes the cost of capital at an acceptable risk.
The Company manages the capital structure and adjusts in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue new debt, or acquire or dispose of assets.
In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. The Board of Directors has not yet established quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.
There have been no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
7. Intangible Asset
Intangible assets include capitalized costs incurred in connection with the acquisition and development of software.
The movements of the Company’s intangibles are summarized as follows:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Shareholders of Clara Capital Corp.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Clara Capital Corp. (the “Company”), which comprise the statements of financial position as at May 31, 2023 and 2022, and the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, statements of shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at May 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended May 31, 2023 and 2022 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
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has limited operating income, it has incurred a comprehensive loss of $79,047 and negative cash flow from continuing operating activities of $22,811 during the year ended May 31, 2023 and it had a deficit of $92,470. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters 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 the 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.
- 2 -
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 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with CAS, 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 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.

CLARA CAPITAL CORP. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (EXPRESSED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS) FOR THE YEARS ENDED MAY 31, 2023 AND 2022
1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern
Clara Capital Corp. (“the Company”) was incorporated on April 15, 2021 pursuant to the Business Corporations Act under the name of Clara Capital Corp. The Company’s head office is located at 34 - 11551 Kingfisher Drive, Richmond BC V7E3N5, Canada.
The Company is a startup company providing the software platform through the Corporation’s website at https://zonpages.com/ for Amazon sellers to manage, launch and promote their products on their landing pages, to control their sales and purchases, to create and increase customer’s email lists, to bring traffic through Facebook.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. At present, the Company has limited operating income. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $92,470 and $13,423 as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Without additional financing, the Company may not be able to fund its ongoing operations and complete development activities. The Company intends to finance its future requirements through a combination of debt and/or equity issuance. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financings or obtain them on favorable terms. These uncertainties may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will need to raise sufficient working capital to maintain operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").
These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on July 21, 2023.
Basis of Measurement
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
Functional and presentation currency
The Company records transactions using its functional currency, being the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the functional currency of the Company.
- 8 -
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Financial instruments
Financial assets
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive loss (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The determination of the classification of financial assets is made at initial recognition. Equity instruments that are held for trading (including all equity derivative instruments) are classified as FVTPL; for other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI.
The Company’s accounting policy for each of the categories is as follows:
Financial assets at FVTPL: Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets held at FVTPL are included in profit or loss.
Financial assets at FVTOCI: Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income in which they arise.
Derecognition
A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or the Company no longer retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company uses a simplified approach, as per IFRS 9, to assess impairment, which requires the expected lifetime loss to be recognized at the time of initial recognition of the financial assets. An impairment loss is reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the expected loss decreases and the decrease can be tied to an event occurring after the initial impairment was recognized.
Financial liabilities are designed as either: FVTPL or amortized costs. All financial liabilities are classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost except for financial liabilities at FVTPL. The classification determines the method by which the financial liabilities are carried on the statement of financial position subsequent to inception and how changes in value are recorded.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires with any gain or loss recognized in other income or expense in the statement of loss.
Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre‐tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:
Cash: FVTPL
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities; Due to Related Party, Loans from related parties: Amortized cost

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
The Company generates revenue through the sale of a monthly or yearly subscription fee for its Amazon store management software. Additionally, the Company offers consulting services to help Amazon sellers optimize their store using the software. These consulting services can be offered on a per-project or hourly basis.
The Company adopted IFRS 15, Revenues from contracts with Customers. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control over a product or service to a customer.
Clara Capital Corp. follows the five-step model in IFRS 15 to recognize revenues:
-
Identify the contract with customers
-
Identify the performance obligation in the contract
-
Determine the transaction price
-
Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
-
Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation
Subscription Arrangements:
Subscription revenue arrangements are derived through the Company's website. Subscription payment refers to revenue that a client pays in advance for a certain period of time.
Revenues associated with the sale of subscriptions are deferred until the subscription service is recognized ratably over the subscription period as the performance obligations are satisfied.
Consulting Services:
Revenues from consulting services are recognized when the services are provided.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case the income tax is recognized in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted, or substantively enacted, at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are only offset if a legally enforceable right exists to offset the amounts, and the Company intends to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences arising from the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax is calculated using the tax rates expected to apply in the periods in which the assets will be realized or the liabilities settled, based on tax rates and laws enacted, or substantively enacted, by the reporting date. 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.
- 10 -
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Finite-lived Intangible Assets
Certain costs incurred in connection with the acquisition and development of software are capitalized to intangible assets. Intangible assets are recorded at cost, which consists of directly attributable costs necessary to create such intangible assets, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The costs mainly include the salaries paid to the software developers and consulting fees. These costs are recognized as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
-
It is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use;
-
Management intends to complete the software product;
-
It can be demonstrated how the software product will generate future economic benefits;
-
Adequate technical, financial, and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software products are available; and
-
The expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.
Intangible assets include marketing related, technology based intangible assets acquired through acquisitions and internally generated intangibles. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives using straight-line amortization methods. The intangible assets are amortized over five years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the cash-generating unit, or "CGU"). The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is the higher of its fair value, less costs of disposal, and its value in use. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment charge is recognized immediately in consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lesser of the revised estimate of recoverable amount, and the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized previously.
Share Capital
Equity instruments are contracts that give a residual interest in the net assets of the Company. Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset.
The Company’s common shares and warrants, are classified as equity instruments. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from proceeds.
Warrants
Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between shares and warrants issued according to their relative fair value.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the reporting period and all additional common shares for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding for the reporting period, if dilutive. The treasury stock method is used for the assumed proceeds upon the exercise of stock options and warrants that are used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the reporting period.
Significant Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make judgement, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current future periods.
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make judgements regarding the going concern of the Company, as disclosed in Note 1.
The Company’s functional currency must be determined through an analysis of several indicators, in accordance with IFRS. Judgment is required in determining an entity’s functional currency based on individual facts and circumstances. Management considers the primary and secondary indicators as a hierarchy to determine the functional currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions.
Judgment is used to estimate each component of a tangible and intangible asset’s useful life and is based on an analysis of all pertinent factors including, but not limited to, the expected use of the asset and, in the case of an intangible asset, contractual life without substantial cost. If the estimated useful lives change, this could result in an increase or decrease in the annual amortization and depreciation expense, and future impairment charges

5. Financial Instruments
The Company’s non-derivative financial instruments include cash, accounts payables and accrued liabilities, dues to related party and loans from related parties. Non-derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value. As at May 31, 2023 and 2022, the carrying value of cash is recorded at fair value. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related party and loans from related parties approximate their fair value due to their shortterm nature.
The Company classifies its financial instruments measured at fair value at one of three levels according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair value:
-
d. Level 1- quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
e. Level 2- 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); and
-
f. Level 3- inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
The Company’s cash is measured as level 1 input.
6. Financial Risk Management
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk.
Risk management is carried out by the Company's management team with guidance from the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provides regular guidance for overall risk management.

In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. The Board of Directors has not yet established quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

CRITICAL JUDGMENTS AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Basis of Measurement
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified in accordance with measurement standards under IFRS. All dollar amounts presented are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified. These financial statements have been prepared using IFRS principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due.
Income Taxes
Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income of loss or directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss or equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period applicable to the period of expected realization or settlement. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and the group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Significant accounting judgments
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain
estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the year. Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amount, events or actions to form the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant accounts that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts include valuation of share‐based payments and recognition of deferred income tax amounts and provision for restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Set out below is a comparison, by category, of the carrying amounts and fair values of all of the Company’s financial instruments that are carried in the financial statements and how the fair value of financial instruments is measured.
- 6 -
Financial and Capital Risk Management
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below.
Level 1 ‐ unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 ‐ inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 ‐ inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The Company enters into financial instruments to finance its operations in the normal course of business.
The Company has no financial instruments carried at fair value. The Company’s cash, accounts receivable, accrued liabilities and loan payable are recorded at subsequently measured at amortized cost.
The Company is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes. The type of risk exposure and the way in way in which such exposure in managed is provided as follows:
Foreign exchange risk
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are
transacted in Canadian dollars. As a result, the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk s minimal.
Credit risk
The Company’s cash is largely held in large Canadian financial institutions. The Company does not have any asset‐backed commercial paper. The Company maintains cash deposits with Schedule A financial institution, which from time to time may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any significant credit losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Financial assets and liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company does not hold any financial liabilities with variable interest rates. The Company does maintain bank accounts which earn interest at variable rates, but it does not believe it is currently subject to any significant interest rate risk.
Liquidity risk
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to raise the required funding through future equity issuances and through short‐ term borrowing. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.
Price risk
The ability of the Company to expand its intended software and the future profitability of the Company are directly related to the market prices.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company's objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. 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 natural resource properties. The Company's objective is met by retaining adequate equity to guard against the possibility that cash flows from assets will not be sufficient to meet future cash flow requirements. The Company considers its capital structure to include cash and working capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may from time to time issue shares and adjust its capital spending to manage current and projected debt levels. To assess capital and operating efficiency and financial strength, the Company continually monitors its net cash and working capital.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has no off‐balance sheet arrangements.
