Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
| September 30, 2021 | March 31, 2021 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| Cash | 16,137 | 34,345 |
| Other current assets | 22,672 | 13,069 |
| Current liabilities | 1,705,894 | 1,496,674 |
| Current working capital (deficiency) | (1,667,085) | (1,449,260) |
Assets – The decrease in cash of $18,208 since March 31, 2021, primarily relates to the use of cash for operations.
The increase in other current assets since March 31, 2021, primarily relates to an increase in prepaid expenses.
Liabilities – The increase in current liabilities since March 31, 2021, primarily relates to an increase in due to related parties and accounts payable.
Working Capital – The increase in the current working capital deficiency is mainly due to the increase in accounts payable and due to related parties. The Company’s current working capital is not considered sufficient to support its expected general administrative and corporate operating requirements on an ongoing basis for the next twelve months without further financing.
Financing of Operations and Recent Financing – To date, Contagious has financed its operations through software development revenue, debt, equity and government assistance.
Liquidity Risk and Contractual Obligations – Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company is exposed to this risk mainly with respect to ensuring the sufficiency of funds for working capital and commitments. The Company monitors the maturity dates of existing accounts payables and accrued liabilities, loans payable and commitments to mitigate this risk.
Liquidity Outlook
The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maximize returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
The Company’s cash reserves of $16,137 and working capital deficiency of $1,667,085 as at September 30, 2021 are insufficient to meet anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures through the next twelve months, nor are they sufficient to see the current initiatives through to completion. To the extent that the Company does not believe it has sufficient liquidity to meet its current obligations, management considers securing additional funds, primarily through the issuance of equity securities of the Company, to be critical for its needs. The Company’s long-term liquidity depends on its ability to access the capital markets, which depends substantially on the success of the Company’s ongoing programs, as well as economic conditions relating to the state of the capital markets generally. Further, there can be no assurance that additional financing can be obtained in a timely manner, or at all especially in light of the potential impact of COVID-19 on capital markets.
Given the Company’s conclusion about the insufficiency of its cash reserves, significant doubt may be cast about the Company’s ability to continue operating as a going concern. The continuation of the Company as a going concern for the foreseeable future depends mainly on raising sufficient capital, and in the interim, reducing, where possible, operating expenses and potentially selling off assets.
This outlook is based on the Company’s current financial position and is subject to change.
