Market for Securities

THERE IS CURRENTLY NO MARKET THROUGH WHICH THESE SECURITIES MAY BE SOLD AND PURCHASERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RESELL SECURITIES PURCHASED UNDER THIS PROSPECTUS. THIS MAY AFFECT THE PRICING OF THE SECURITIES IN THE SECONDARY MARKET, THE TRANSPARENCY AND AVAILABILITY OF TRADING PRICES, THE LIQUIDITY OF THE SECURITIES, AND THE EXTENT OF ISSUER REGULATION. SEE “RISK FACTORS”.

As at the date of this prospectus, the Corporation does not have any of its securities listed or quoted, has not applied to list or quote any of its securities, and does not intend to apply to list or quote any of its securities, on the Toronto Stock Exchange, Neo Exchange Inc., a U.S. marketplace, or a marketplace outside Canada and the United States of America other than the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange or the PLUS markets operated by PLUS Markets Group plc.

The Corporation has applied to list the Common Shares on the Exchange. Listing will be subject to the Corporation fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the Exchange.

Other than the initial distribution of Common Shares pursuant to this prospectus, the grant of stock options to the officers and directors of the Corporation, the grant of the Agents' Warrant and the grant of CPC Stock Options to Eligible Charitable Organizations trading in all securities of the Corporation is prohibited during the period between the date a receipt for this preliminary prospectus is issued by the Applicable Securities Commissions (as defined herein) and the time the Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the Exchange except, subject to the prior acceptance of the Exchange, where appropriate registration and prospectus exemptions are available under securities legislation or where the applicable securities regulatory authorities grant a discretionary order.

Risk Factors

Investment in the Common Shares offered by this prospectus is highly speculative due to the nature of the Corporation’s business and its present stage of development. This offering is suitable only to those investors who are prepared to risk the loss of their entire investment. See “Risk Factors”.

00509720-15

00508509-1 ii

00465267-6

Assuming the Minimum Offering is subscribed for; an investor will suffer an immediate dilution on investment of approximately 25.00% or $0.050 per Common Share. Assuming the Maximum Offering is subscribed for, an investor will suffer an immediate dilution on investment of approximately 14.29% or $0.029 per Common Share. See “Capitalization” and “Dilution”.

The Corporation has neither a history of earnings nor has it paid any dividends and it is unlikely to generate earnings or pay dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future. The Corporation was only recently incorporated and does not own any ongoing business operations and has no assets other than cash, prepaid expenses and deferred financing costs and has not identified any potential asset or business for acquisition or participation. The Corporation has not entered into an Agreement in Principle. See “Risk Factors”, “Conflicts of Interest”, “Capitalization” and “Dilution”.

The Common Shares are highly speculative due to the proposed nature of the Corporation’s business and its present stage of development. There is no assurance that the Corporation will identify and successfully negotiate the acquisition of any corporations, properties, assets or businesses, or any interests therein. Moreover, additional funds may be required to successfully complete an acquisition, and the Corporation may not be able to obtain such financing. If the acquisition is financed by the issuance of shares from the Corporation’s treasury, control of the Corporation may change and shareholders may suffer additional dilution. The directors and officers of the Corporation will only be devoting a portion of their time on the affairs of the Corporation. Potential conflicts of interest may result from the ordinary course of business of the Corporation and of the directors and officers of the Corporation. The directors and officers currently own 31.00% of the issued and outstanding common shares and will own approximately 15.50% of the issued Common Shares of the Corporation upon completion of the Minimum Offering, and approximately 8.86% of the issued Common Shares of the Corporation upon completion of the Maximum Offering. Since the Corporation has not placed any geographical restrictions on the location of the Qualifying Transaction, such Qualifying Transaction may involve the acquisition of a business located outside of Canada. It may be difficult or impossible to affect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any directors, officers or experts located outside Canada. Even if service or notice is successfully affected, it may not be possible to enforce, against such persons or the Corporation, judgments obtained in Canadian courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of applicable securities laws in Canada.

Maximum Investment

Pursuant to the CPC Policy, 75% of the total number of Common Shares offered under this prospectus (being 7,500,000 Common Shares based on the Minimum Offering, or 18,750,000 Common Shares based on the Maximum Offering) are subject to the following limits:

  • (a) the maximum number of Common Shares that may be directly or indirectly purchased by any one purchaser pursuant to the Offering is 2% of the total number of Common Shares offered under this prospectus (being 200,000 Common Shares based on the Minimum Offering, or 500,000 Common Shares based on the Maximum Offering); and

  • (b) the maximum number of Common Shares that may be directly or indirectly purchased by any one purchaser, together with that purchaser’s Associates (as hereinafter defined) and Affiliates (as hereinafter defined, is 4% of Common Shares offered under this prospectus (being 400,000 Common Shares based on the Minimum Offering, or 1,000,000 Common Shares based on the Maximum Offering).

Receipt of Subscriptions

The Common Shares are conditionally offered for sale by the Agents on behalf of the Corporation on a best-efforts basis, subject to prior sale, if, as and when issued, and delivered in accordance with the conditions contained in the Agency Agreement referred to under “Plan of Distribution” and subject to the approval of certain legal matters by Chitiz Pathak LLP of Toronto, Ontario on behalf of the Corporation and DS Burstall LLP on behalf of the Agents. Subscriptions will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and the right to close the subscription books at any time without notice is reserved. It is expected that share certificates evidencing the Common Shares in definitive form will be available for delivery at the closing of this Offering, unless the Agents elect for delivery in electronic book entry form through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (“ CDS ”) or its nominee. If delivered in book entry form, purchasers of Common Shares will receive only a customer confirmation from the registered dealer that is a CDS participant and from or through which the Common Shares were purchased.

either under the Offering or otherwise prior to Completion of the Qualifying Transaction and all Common Shares acquired by members of the Aggregate Pro Group prior to this Offering will be placed in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, and will be released from escrow in stages over a period of 18 months from the date of the Final Exchange Bulletin. A total of 10,000,000 Common Shares, being all of the Common Shares issued and outstanding as of the date hereof, will be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. See “Escrowed Securities”.

RISK FACTORS:

Shall include, but not be limited to:

  • (a) Investment in the Common Shares must be regarded as highly speculative due to the proposed nature of the Corporation’s business and its present stage of development.

  • (b) The Corporation was only recently incorporated and has no active business or assets other than cash.

  • (c) The Corporation does not have a history of earnings, nor has it paid any dividends and will not generate earnings or pay dividends until at least after the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction. See “Dividend Policy”.

  • (d) The Offering is only suitable to investors who are prepared to rely entirely on the directors and management of the Corporation and can afford to risk the loss of their entire investment.

  • (e) The directors and officers of the Corporation will only devote part of their time and attention to the affairs of the Corporation and there are potential conflicts of interest to which some of the directors and officers of the Corporation will be subject in connection with the operations of the Corporation.

  • (f) Assuming the Minimum Offering is subscribed for, an investor will suffer an immediate dilution on investment of approximately 25.00% or $0.050 per Common Share. Assuming the Maximum Offering is subscribed for, an investor will suffer an immediate dilution on investment of approximately 14.29% or $0.029 per Common Share.

  • (g) There can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Common Shares will develop and an investor may find it difficult to resell the Common Shares.

  • (h) Until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction.

  • (i) The Corporation has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate possible Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance that the CPC will be able to identify or complete a suitable Qualifying Transaction.

  • (j) The Qualifying Transaction may involve the acquisition of a business or assets located outside of Canada. It may therefore be difficult or impossible to effect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any directors, officers and experts outside of Canada and it may not be possible to enforce against such persons or companies judgments obtained in Canadian courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions applicable to securities laws in Canada.

THE CORPORATION

Cuspis Capital III Ltd. was incorporated on September 3, 2019 under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The principal and registered office of the Corporation is located at 77 King Street West TD North Tower Suite 700, P.O. Box 118. Toronto, Ontario M5K 1G8.

BUSINESS OF THE CORPORATION

Preliminary Expenses

To date, the Corporation has not conducted material operations of any kind and does not own any assets, other than cash, and has not entered into an Agreement in Principle.

To date, the Corporation has incurred expenses of approximately $58,820 which consists of audit costs, filing fees, corporate finance fees, fees associated with an advance retainer to cover the Agents' out of pocket expenses and legal fees related to the Offering and the corporate work fee. Of the $58,820 in incurred expenses, approximately $22,500 has been incurred in respect of legal fees. Since the most recent audited Statement of Financial Position, the Corporation has expended approximately $17,500 in legal fees, $5,000 in filing fees, $NIL in audit costs, and provided the Agents with a $21,300 advance retainer to cover the Agents' out of pocket expenses and corporate work fee. The proceeds of the Offering will be utilized to satisfy the obligations of the Corporation related to this Offering, including the expenses of the Corporation’s auditors, legal counsel, and the Agents' legal counsel. See “Use of Proceeds”, “Remuneration of Directors and Senior Officers”, and “Relationship Between the Corporation and Professional Persons”.

Proposed Operations until Completion of a Qualifying Transaction

The Corporation proposes to identify and evaluate businesses and assets with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. Any proposed Qualifying Transaction must be accepted by the Exchange and in the case of a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction is also subject to Majority of the Minority Approval in accordance with the CPC Policy. The Corporation has not conducted commercial operations other than to enter into discussions for the purpose of identifying potential acquisitions or interests.

Until completion of a Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of businesses or assets with a view to completing a potential Qualifying Transaction. With the consent of the Exchange, this may include the raising of additional funds in order to finance an acquisition. Except as described under “Restrictions on Use of Proceeds”, and “Private Placement for Cash”, the funds raised pursuant to the Offering and any subsequent financing will be utilized only for the identification and evaluation of potential Qualifying Transactions and not for any deposit, loan or direct investment in a potential acquisition.

Although the Corporation has commenced the process of identifying potential acquisitions with a view to completing the Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation has not yet entered into an Agreement in Principle.

Process of Identification of Acquisition or Participation Opportunities

The Corporation proposes to identify acquisitions of interests in corporations, properties, assets or businesses through discussions with various contacts. Once a prospective acquisition target has been identified and evaluated, the Corporation will proceed to negotiate the terms upon which the Corporation may acquire an interest in the corporation, property, asset or business, with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction.

Method of Financing Qualifying Transaction

The Corporation may use cash, bank financing, issuance of treasury shares, private or public financing of debt or equity, or some combination thereof to finance its proposed Qualifying Transaction. If treasury shares are issued to finance the Qualifying Transaction, such issuance could result in a change in control of the Corporation and may cause the shareholders’ interest in the Corporation to be further diluted. See “Risk Factors”.

00509720-15

{

Criteria for Qualifying Transaction

All potential Qualifying Transactions will initially be screened by management of the Corporation so as to evaluate the business plan of each corporation or business, which evaluation will include an analysis of the assets, the line of services or products offered, the extent of the competition in the marketplace, the market potential of the product lines or services, the market plan, existing and remaining management, production plans, financial plans and cash-flow projections and capital requirements. Similar criteria will be employed in the evaluation of other assets.

Upon the favourable completion of management’s analysis, management will proceed to negotiate appropriate acquisition terms with those prospective corporations, businesses or the owners of other assets and thereafter will present the proposal to the board of directors for its consideration and approval.

The board of directors of the Corporation, in considering whether to approve the terms of the proposed acquisition, will be guided by the following criteria:

  • (a) the projected rate of return on the proposed investment having regard to the risk of loss;

  • (b) the prospects for growth, having regard to existing or potential market share;

  • (c) the skill of the management team, either as it exists or as it may be modified as a consequence of the acquisition; and

  • (d) basic financial considerations such as the ratio of debt to equity of the target business, the overall cost of the acquisition, and the prospects of obtaining the debt or equity financing necessary to effect the acquisition.

Any proposed Qualifying Transaction must be approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors. In exercising their powers and discharging their duties in relation to proposed Qualifying Transaction, the directors will act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation and will exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

Filings and Shareholder Approval of a Non Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction

Upon the Corporation reaching an Agreement in Principle, the Corporation must issue a comprehensive news release, at which time the Exchange generally will halt trading in the Common Shares until the filing requirements of the Exchange have been satisfied as set forth under “Trading Halts, Suspensions and Delisting”. Within 75 days after issuance of such news release, the Corporation shall be required to submit for review to the Exchange either an information circular that complies with applicable corporate and securities laws or a filing statement that complies with Exchange requirements. An information circular must be submitted where there is a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction. A filing statement must be submitted where the Qualifying Transaction is not a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction. The information circular or filing statement, as applicable, must contain prospectus level disclosure of the Target Company and the Corporation, assuming Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, and be prepared in accordance with the CPC Policy and Form 3B1/Form 3B2. Upon acceptance by the Exchange, the Corporation must then either:

  • (a) file the filing statement on SEDAR at least seven business days prior to closing of the Qualifying Transaction, and issue a news release which discloses the scheduled closing date for the Qualifying Transaction as well as the fact that the filing statement is available on SEDAR; or

  • (b) mail the information circular and related proxy material to its shareholders in order to obtain the Majority of the Minority Approval of the Qualifying Transaction or other requisite approval, at a meeting of shareholders.

Unless waived by the Exchange, the Corporation will also be required to retain a Sponsor, who must be a Member of the Exchange, and who will be required to submit to the Exchange a Sponsor Report prepared in accordance with the

00509720-15

{

Policies of the Exchange. The Corporation will no longer be considered to be a CPC upon the Exchange having issued the Final Exchange Bulletin. The Exchange will generally not issue the Final Exchange Bulletin until the Exchange has received:

  • (a) in the case of a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction, confirmation of Majority of Minority Approval of the Qualifying Transaction;

  • (b) confirmation of closing of the Qualifying Transaction; and

  • (c) all post-meeting or final documentation, as applicable, otherwise required to be filed with the Exchange pursuant to the CPC Policy.

Upon issuance of the Final Exchange Bulletin, the CPC Policy will generally cease to apply, with the exception of the escrow provisions of the CPC Policy and the restrictions in the CPC Policy precluding the Corporation from completing a reverse take-over for a period of one year from the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

Initial Listing Requirements

The Resulting Issuer must satisfy the Exchange’s initial listing requirements for the particular industry sector in either Tier 1 or Tier 2 as prescribed under the applicable policies of the Exchange.

Trading Halts, Suspension and Delisting

The Exchange will generally halt trading in the Common Shares from the date of the public announcement of an Agreement in Principle until all filing requirements of the Exchange have been satisfied, which include the submission of a Sponsorship Acknowledgement Form, where the Qualifying Transaction is subject to sponsorship. In addition, personal information forms or, if applicable, declarations for all individuals who may be directors, senior officers, promoters, or Insiders of the Resulting Issuer must be filed with the Exchange and any preliminary background searches that the Exchange considers necessary or advisable, must also be completed, before the trading halt will be lifted by the Exchange.

Even if all filing requirements have been satisfied and preliminary background checks completed, the Exchange may continue or reinstate a halt in trading of the Common Shares for public policy reasons including:

  • (a) the unacceptable nature of the business of the Resulting Issuer; or

  • (b) the number of conditions precedent to, or the nature and number of deficiencies required to be resolved prior to, Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, are so significant or numerous as to make it appear to the Exchange that the halt should be reinstated or continued.

A trading halt may also be imposed by the Exchange where the Corporation fails to file the supporting documents relating to the Qualifying Transaction within a period of 75 days after public announcement of the Agreement in Principle or if the Corporation fails to file post-meeting or final documents, as applicable, within the time required. A trading halt may also be imposed if a Sponsor terminates its sponsorship.

In the event that the Common Shares are delisted by the Exchange, within 90 days from the date of such delisting, the Corporation shall wind-up and shall make a pro rata distribution of its remaining assets to its shareholders, unless shareholders, pursuant to a majority vote exclusive of the votes of Non-Arm’s Length Parties to the Corporation, determine to deal with the Corporation or its assets in some other manner. See “Shareholder Approval of the Qualifying Transaction”.

Refusal of Qualifying Transaction

The Exchange, in its sole discretion, may not accept a Qualifying Transaction where:

00509720-15

{

  1. (a) the Resulting Issuer fails to satisfy the applicable initial listing requirements of the Exchange;

  2. (b) the aggregate number of securities of the Resulting Issuer owned, directly or indirectly, by:

  3. (i) a Member firm of the Exchange;

  4. (ii) registrants, unregistered corporate finance professionals, employee shareholders and partners of such Member firm; and

  5. (iii) associates of any such person, collectively, would exceed 20% of the issued and outstanding securities of the Resulting Issuer;

  6. (c) the Resulting Issuer will be a financial institution, finance company, finance issuer or mutual fund, as defined in applicable securities legislation;

  7. (d) the majority of the directors and senior officers of the Resulting Issuer are not residents of Canada or the United States or are individuals who have not demonstrated positive association as directors or officers with public Companies that are subject to a regulatory regime comparable to the Companies listed on a Canadian exchange; or

  8. (e) notwithstanding the definition of a Qualifying Transaction, there is any other reason for denying acceptance of the Qualifying Transaction.

Where Common Shares of the Corporation required to be placed in escrow are held by a non-individual (a “holding company”), during the currency of the Escrow Agreement, each holding company has agreed, or will be required to agree, that it will not carry out any transactions which would result in a change of control of the holding company without the consent of the Exchange. Any holding company must sign an undertaking to the Exchange that, to the extent reasonably possible, it will not permit or authorize any issuance of securities or transfer of securities which could reasonably result in a change of control of the holding company. In addition, the Exchange may require an undertaking from any control person of the holding company not to transfer the shares of that holding company.

Under the Escrow Agreement:

  • (a) all Options granted prior to the date of the Final Exchange Bulletin and all Common Shares that were issued pursuant to the exercise of such Options prior to the date of the Final Exchange Bulletin will be released from escrow on the date of the Final Exchange Bulletin, other than Options that were granted prior to the Offering with an exercise price that is less than the issue price of the Common Shares under this prospectus and any Common Shares that were issued pursuant to the exercise of such Options which will be released from escrow in accordance with (b);

If a Final Exchange Bulletin is not issued, the escrowed Common Shares will not be released. Under the Escrow Agreement, upon the issuance by the Exchange of a bulletin delisting the Corporation, the Transfer Agent is irrevocably authorized to:

  • (a) immediately cancel all of the escrowed Common Shares held by each Non-Arm’s Length Party to the Corporation that were issued at a price below the Offering price under this prospectus and all Options and common shares issued upon exercise of Share Options held by such persons; and

Corporate Cease Trade Orders or Bankruptcies

Other than as described below, no director, officer, Insider or promoter of the Corporation, or a shareholder of the Corporation holding a sufficient number of securities of the Corporation to affect materially the control of the Corporation is, or within 10 years before the date of this prospectus has been, a director, officer, Insider or Promoter of any other issuer that, while that person was acting in that capacity:

  • (a) was the subject of a cease trade or similar order or, an order that denied the other issuer access to any exemptions under applicable securities legislation for a period of more than 30 consecutive days; or

  • (b) became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.

Grant McCutcheon was a director and Fraser Elliott was an officer of Kure Technologies, Inc., formerly Unique Broadband Systems, Inc. (“ UBS ”) which in July, 2011, commenced a Court supervised claims process under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“ CCAA ”) to, among other things: (i) facilitate the determination and compromise or arrangement of creditor claims against UBS; (ii) permit UBS to propose a plan to realize value from UBS’ accumulated tax losses, public listing and other assets; (iii) avert an imminent liquidity crisis being caused by litigation-related expenses that will prevent UBS from continuing to carry on business for the benefit of its stakeholders and defending proceedings brought against the company by former officers and directors; (iv) stay all payables owing by UBS; and (v) provide a process to determine the claims being asserted against UBS in a more cost effective and expeditious manner. UBS successfully settled all of the claims made against it in the CCAA proceedings and on February 26, 2015, the Ontario Superior Court made an order to facilitate the Company’s’ orderly exit from the CCAA proceedings.

William Ollerhead became a director of BioExx Specialty Proteins Ltd. (“ BioExx ”) in June 2008, and resigned on July 30, 2013. More than two months after Mr. Ollerhead’s resignation, and following a change in management of BioExx, the company filed for and obtained an order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial Division) under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act on October 1, 2013.

Fraser Elliott is a director of Vital Retirement Living Inc. (“ VRL ”), VRL is a public company formerly listed on the TSXV, which is currently the subject of a temporary cease trade order issued by each of the British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario Securities Commissions for failure to file audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. VRL has not filed financial statements for any period subsequent to December 31, 2002 and is being wound up.

Penalties or Sanctions

No director, officer, Insider or promoter of the Corporation, or a shareholder of the Corporation holding a sufficient number of securities of the Corporation to affect materially the control of the Corporation, has been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has

entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority or has been subject to any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body or self-regulatory authority that would likely be considered important to a reasonable investor in making an investment decision.

Personal Bankruptcies

No director, officer, Insider or promoter of the Corporation, or a shareholder of the Corporation holding a sufficient number of securities of the Corporation to affect materially the control of the Corporation, or a personal holding company of any such person has, within 10 years before the date of this prospectus, as applicable, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or has been subject to or has instituted any proceedings, arrangements or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold such person’s assets.

Conflicts of Interest

There are potential conflicts of interest to which the directors, officers, insiders and promotors of the Corporation will be subject in connection with the operations of the Corporation. Some of the directors, officers, Insiders and promotors have been and will continue to be engaged in the identification and evaluation, with a view to potential acquisition of interests in businesses and corporations on their own behalf and on behalf of other corporations, and situations may arise where the directors, officers, Insiders and promotors will be in direct competition with the Corporation. Conflicts, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Except as set out below or otherwise disclosed in this prospectus, prior to Completion of a Qualifying Transaction, no payment of any kind has been made, or will be made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation to a Non-Arm’s Length Party to the Corporation or a Non-Arm’s Length Party to the Qualifying Transaction, or to any person engaged in investor relations activities in respect of the securities of the Corporation or any Resulting Issuer by any means, including:

  • (a) remuneration, which includes but is not limited to:

  • (i) salaries;

  • (ii) consulting fees;

  • (iii) management contract fees or directors’ fees;

  • (iv) finders fees;

  • (v) loans, advances, bonuses; and

  • (b) deposits and similar payments.

However, the Corporation may reimburse Non-Arm’s Length Parties for the Corporation’s reasonable allocation of rent, secretarial services and other general administrative expenses, at fair market value (“Permitted Reimbursement”), which reimbursements, since incorporation, have totaled $nil as of the date hereof. No reimbursement may be made for any payment made to lease or acquire a vehicle.

The directors and officers of the Corporation may also be granted stock options.

No payment other than the Permitted Reimbursements will be made by the Corporation or by any party on behalf of the Corporation, after Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, if the payment relates to services rendered or obligations incurred or in connection with the Qualifying Transaction.

Following the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, it is anticipated that the Corporation shall pay compensation to its directors and officers. However no payment other than Permitted Reimbursements will be made by the Corporation or by any party on behalf of the Corporation, after Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, if the payment relates to services rendered or obligations incurred or in connection with the Qualifying Transaction.

RISK FACTORS

Prior to making a decision to invest, prospective purchasers in the Offering should consider their own position, and all of the risks of investing in the Common Shares. The following are risk factors associated with the Corporation:

  • (a) the Corporation was only recently incorporated, has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than cash. It has no history of earnings, and shall not generate earnings or pay dividends until at least after Completion of the Qualifying Transaction;

  • (b) investment in the Common Shares offered by this prospectus is highly speculative given the proposed nature of the Corporation’s business and its present stage of development ;

  • (c) the directors and officers of the Corporation will only devote a portion of their time to the business and affairs of the Corporation and some of them are or will be engaged in other projects or businesses such that conflicts of interest may arise from time to time, see “Conflicts of Interest”;

  • (d) assuming the Minimum Offering is subscribed for, an investor will suffer an immediate dilution on investment of approximately 25.00% or $0.050 per Common Share. Assuming the Maximum Offering is subscribed for, an investor will suffer an immediate dilution on investment of approximately 14.29% or $0.029 per Common Share, see “Dilution”;

00509720-15

{

  1. (e) there can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Common Shares will develop and an investor may find it difficult to resell its Common Shares;

  2. (f) until Completion of a Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation is not permitted to carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of potential Qualifying Transactions;

  3. (g) the Corporation has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate potential Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to identify a suitable Qualifying Transaction;

  4. (h) even if a proposed Qualifying Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to successfully complete the transaction;

  5. (i) Completion of a Qualifying Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including acceptance by the Exchange and in the case of a Non Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction, Majority of the Minority Approval;

  6. (j) unless the shareholder has the right to dissent and be paid fair value in accordance with applicable corporate or other law, a shareholder who votes against a proposed Non Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction for which Majority of the Minority Approval by shareholders has been given, will have no rights of dissent and no entitlement to payment by the Corporation of fair value for the Common Shares;

  7. (k) upon public announcement of a proposed Qualifying Transaction, trading in the Common Shares of the Corporation will be halted and will remain halted for an indefinite period of time, typically until a Sponsor has been retained and certain preliminary reviews have been conducted. The Common Shares of the Corporation will be reinstated to trading before the Exchange has reviewed the transaction and before the Sponsor has completed its full review. Reinstatement to trading provides no assurance with respect to the merits of the transaction or the likelihood of the Corporation completing the proposed Qualifying Transaction;

  8. (l) trading in the Common Shares of the Corporation may be halted at other times for other reasons, including for failure by the Corporation to submit documents to the Exchange in the time periods required;

  9. (m) if the Corporation does not list the Common Shares on the Exchange prior to the time of closing and does not make an election to be a “public corporation” for purposes of the ITA in the manner contemplated under “Eligibility for Investment”, adverse tax consequences will arise with respect to any Common Shares held in Registered Plans or deferred profit sharing plans (each as defined hereafter under the heading “Eligibility for Investment”);

  10. (n) neither the Exchange nor any securities regulatory authority passes upon the merits of the proposed Qualifying Transaction;

  11. (o) in the event that management of the Corporation resides outside of Canada or the Corporation identifies a foreign business as a proposed Qualifying Transaction, investors may find it difficult or impossible to effect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any management resident outside of Canada or upon the foreign business and may find it difficult or impossible to enforce against such persons, judgments obtained in Canadian courts;

  12. (p) the Qualifying Transaction may be financed in all or part by the issuance of additional securities by the Corporation and this may result in further dilution to the investor, which dilution may be significant and which may also result in a change of control of the Corporation;

00509720-15

{

  1. (q) subject to prior Exchange acceptance, the Corporation may be permitted to loan or advance up to an aggregate of $250,000 of its proceeds to a target business without requiring shareholder approval and there can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to recover that loan;

  2. (r) the Corporation is relying solely on its past business success of its directors and officers to identify a Qualifying Transaction of merit. The success of the Corporation is dependent upon the efforts and abilities of its management team. The loss of any member of the management team could have a material adverse effect upon the business and prospects of the Corporation. In such event, the Corporation will seek satisfactory replacements but there can be no guarantee that appropriate personnel may be found; and

  3. (s) The transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have recently resulted in international, national and local border closings, travel restrictions, significant disruptions to business operations, supply chains and customer activity and demand, service cancellations, reductions and other changes, and quarantines, as well as considerable general concern and uncertainty. The impacts of the COVID-19 crisis that may have an effect on the Corporation and its ability to identify and complete a Qualifying Transaction are unknown at this time but could result in material adverse consequences to the Corporation, including delays in completing a Qualifying Transaction, which could in turn require the Corporation to obtain additional financing by issuing shares from treasury, creating dilution for existing shareholders.

As a result of these factors, this Offering is only suitable to investors who are willing to rely solely on management of the Corporation and who can afford to lose their entire investment. Those investors who are not prepared to do so should not invest in the Common Shares.

See “Business of the Corporation”, “Method of Financing Acquisition or Participation Opportunities” and “Directors and Officers”.

ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT

In the opinion of DLA Piper (Canada) LLP, tax counsel for the Corporation, based on the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ Tax Act ”), the regulations thereunder in force as of the date hereof (the “ Regulations ”), and all amendments to the Tax Act and Regulations publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) as of the date hereof, provided that the Common Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” (as defined in the Tax Act) (which currently includes the Exchange), the Common Shares will be qualified investments for trusts governed by registered retirement savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education savings plans, registered disability savings plans, tax-free savings accounts (each a “ Registered Plan ”), and deferred profit sharing plans.

The Common Shares are not currently listed on a designated stock exchange.

required to result in the Common Shares being listed on the Exchange at the time of their issuance on Closing.

Notwithstanding that the Common Shares may be a qualified investment for a trust governed by a Registered Plan, the holder, annuitant or subscriber of a Registered Plan (as applicable) will be subject to a penalty tax on the Common Shares held in the Registered Plan, if such shares are a “prohibited investment” for the purposes of the Tax Act. The Common Shares will not be prohibited investments for a Registered Plan provided the holder, annuitant or subscriber thereof (as applicable) deals at arm’s length with the Corporation for the purposes of the Tax Act, and does not have a “significant interest” (as defined in the Tax Act) in the Corporation. In addition, the Common Shares will not be a “prohibited investment” for a Registered Plan if the Common Shares are “excluded property” (as defined in the Tax Act). Holders should consult their own advisors as to whether the Common Shares will be a prohibited investment in their particular circumstances.

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. That right may be exercised within two business days after the receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment. In several of the provinces and territories, securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages where the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that such remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory.

Financial Statements of

CUSPIS CAPITAL III LTD.

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and from the date of incorporation (September 3, 2019) to December 31, 2019

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Shareholders of Cuspis Capital III Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Cuspis Capital III Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, statements of changes in shareholder’s equity and statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period from incorporation (September 3, 2019) to December 31, 2019, 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the periods then ended 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. 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.

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 cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Page 1

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgement 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 risks 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.

CUSPIS CAPITAL III LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Nature of operations and going concern

Cuspis Capital III Ltd. (the “Company” or “Cuspis II”) was incorporated September 3, 2019 pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).

The Company intends to carry on business as a Capital Pool Corporation (“CPC”), as such term is defined in TSX Venture Exchange Inc. (the “Exchange”) Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies (“CPC Policy 2.4”). As at December 31, 2020, the Company had no business operations and did not enter into any agreements to acquire an interest in businesses or assets. The Company’s principal purpose is the identification, evaluation and acquisition of assets, properties or businesses or participation therein subject, in certain cases, to shareholder approval and acceptance by the Exchange. The Company’s registered head office is located at 77 King Street West, Suite 700, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5K 1G8.

The Company intends to complete an initial public offering (the “Offering”) subsequent to December 31, 2020 (note 11). The gross proceeds raised from the Offering may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses and obtain shareholder approval for a proposed “Qualifying Transaction” as such term is defined in Exchange CPC Policy 2.4 (“Transaction Expenses”), with the exception that general and administrative expenses are capped at $3,000 per month, including for professional accounting, advisory, and legal services expenses, and are not time limited.

Where a Qualifying Transaction is warranted, additional funding may be required. The ability of the Company to fund its potential future operations and commitments is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain additional financing.

Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”)

The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a respiratory illness caused by COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the duration of the outbreak and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, the health crisis could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations and complete a future Qualifying Transaction.

CUSPIS CAPITAL III LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(In Canadian dollars) For the periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

1. Nature of operations and going concern (continued)

Going concern

These financial statements were prepared on a going-concern basis of accounting, which assumes that the Company will continue operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize the carrying value of its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company does not generate revenue from operations and incurred a net loss of $3,446 for the period ended December 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - $1,564). However, the Company believes that its working capital balance as at December 31, 2020, along with the private placement that closed subsequent to December 31, 2020 (note 11) will provide the Company with sufficient cash resources to meet its obligations for at least twelve months from the end of the reporting period. As the Company has no revenues, its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing and complete a Qualifying Transaction. These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate. These adjustments could be material.

2. Basis of presentation

Statement of compliance

These 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 IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

Basis of measurement

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis and on an accrual basis except for cash flow information. The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November ⚫, 2021.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of deposits with maturities of three months or less. Cash subject to restrictions that prevent its use for current purposes is included in restricted cash.

Deferred financing costs

Financing costs related to the Company’s proposed financing will be recorded as deferred financing costs. These costs will be deferred until the financing is completed, at which time the costs will be charged against the proceeds received. If the financing does not close, the costs will be charged to profit or loss.

Financial instruments

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Non-derivative financial assets within the scope of IFRS 9 are classified and measured as “financial assets at fair value”, as either fair value through profit or loss (“FVPL”) or fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), and “financial assets at amortized cost”, as appropriate. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at the time of initial recognition based on the Company’s business model and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not at FVPL, directly attributable transaction costs on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining their classification at FVPL or at amortized cost.

– Subsequent measurement financial assets at amortized cost

After initial recognition, financial assets measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at the end of each reporting period at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Rate (“EIR”) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in the statement of loss. The Company’s financial assets include funds held in trust which is measured at amortized cost.

Subsequent measurement – Financial assets at FVPL

Financial assets measured at FVPL include financial assets management intends to sell in the short term and any derivative financial instrument that is not designated as a hedging instrument in a hedge relationship. Financial assets measured at FVPL are carried at fair value in the statement of financial position with changes in fair value recognized in other income or expense in the statement of loss. The Company does not measure any financial assets at FVPL.

Subsequent measurement – Financial assets at FVOCI

Financial assets measured at FVOCI are non-derivative financial assets that are not held for trading and the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to measure the assets at FVOCI. The Company does not measure any financial assets at FVOCI.

After initial measurement, investments measured at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income or loss in the statement of comprehensive loss. When the investment is sold, the cumulative gain or loss remains in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss and is not reclassified to profit or loss.

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.

Financial instruments ( continued)

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVPL as is the case for held for trading or derivative instruments, or the Company has opted to measure the financial liability at FVPL. The Company’s financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are each measured at amortized cost. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and in the case of longterm debt, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

– Subsequent measurement financial liabilities at amortized cost

After initial recognition, financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at the end of each reporting period at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Rate (“EIR”) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance cost in the statement of loss.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires with any associated gain or loss recognized in other income or expense in the statement of loss.

Fair value hierarchy

IFRS 7 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the input to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly; Level 3 – Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

Income taxes

Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense. Income tax expense is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.

Deferred tax is recorded on temporary differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting or taxable loss; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. 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 reporting date.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Income taxes (continued)

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a future tax asset will be recovered, the tax asset is not recognized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Share capital

Common shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

Share-based payments

The Company has a stock option plan (the “Option Plan”) which is discussed in note 11. The Company uses the fair value-based method of accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The fair value of each option granted to directors, officers, consultants and employees is accounted for in operations over the vesting period of the option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the date of grant, with the related increase to contributed surplus. Upon exercise of the stock options, the consideration paid, together with the amount previously recognized in contributed surplus, is recorded as an increase in share capital. At each reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of stock options that are expected to vest.

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share assumes that any proceeds from the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period, with the incremental number of shares being included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation.

During the period from incorporation (September 3, 2019) to December 31, 2020, no options were issued or outstanding. Therefore, basic and diluted loss per share are the same for the periods presented.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Use of estimates, assumptions and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Company’s management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes to the financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results may differ from those estimates and these differences could be material.

The areas which will require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include, but are not limited to:

Share-based payments

Management determines costs for share-based payments using market-based valuation techniques. The fair value of the market-based and performance-based non-vested share awards are determined at the date of grant using generally accepted valuation techniques. Assumptions are made and judgment used in applying valuation techniques. These assumptions and judgments include estimating the future volatility of the stock price, expected dividend yield, future employee turnover rates and future employee stock option exercise behaviours and corporate performance. Such judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions could affect the fair value estimates.

Income, value added, withholding and other taxes

The Company is subject to income, value added, withholding and other taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provisions for taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. The determination of the Company’s income, value added, withholding and other tax liabilities requires interpretation of complex laws and regulations. The Company’s interpretation of taxation law as applied to transactions and activities may not coincide with the interpretation of the tax authorities. All tax related filings are subject to government audit and potential reassessment subsequent to the financial statement reporting period. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the tax related accruals and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

5. Deferred financing costs

The deferred financing costs as at December 31, 2020 totaling $5,408 (December 31, 2019 - $Nil) related mainly to expenses associated with the Offering (note 11).

6. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

7. Income taxes (continued)

Deferred income tax balances

Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Company can use the benefits.

The Company has approximately $5,000 of non-capital losses in Canada, which, under certain circumstances, can be used to reduce the taxable income of future years. These losses expire between 2039 and 2041.

8. Related party transactions

Related parties include the Board of Directors, close family members and enterprises which are controlled by these individuals as well as certain persons performing similar functions. Refer to Notes 4 and 11.

9. Management of capital

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and ensure sufficient liquidity in order to become a CPC and subsequently complete a Qualifying Transaction so that it can provide adequate returns for shareholders. The Board of Directors does not establish 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. The Company defines capital as total shareholder’s equity. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. There were no significant changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

10. Financial instruments and risk management

The Company's activities may expose it to a variety of financial risks: fair values, credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate risk). The Board of Directors provides regular guidance for overall risk management.

Fair values

As at December 31, 2020, the Company’s financial instruments consist of funds held in trust, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a number of risks arising from financial instruments. Management’s involvement in the operations allows for the identification of risks and variances from expectations. The Company does not participate in the use of financial instruments to mitigate these risks. The Board approves the risk management processes. The Board’s main objectives for managing risks are to ensure liquidity, the fulfillment of obligations, the completion of the Offering, the Company’s search for a Qualifying Transaction, and to limit exposure to credit and market risks.

10. Financial instruments and risk management (continued)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk through its cash balance which is held in trust at a legal firm. The Company believes its exposure to credit risk is not significant.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. None of the Company’s financial instruments bear interest. Therefore, management believes the Company has no significant exposure to interest rate risk through its financial instruments as at December 31, 2020.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place by which it anticipates and determines the funds required to support normal operation requirements. The Company coordinates this planning and budgeting process with its financing activities through the capital management process described in note 9, in normal circumstances.

11. Subsequent events

Seed share issuance

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,050,000 seed common shares to directors and officers of the Company, and an additional 6,900,000 seed common shares to other investors at a price of $0.10 per share for gross proceeds of $995,000.

Stock option plan

The Company has a stock option plan (“Option Plan”) which provides that the Board of Directors of the Company may from time to time, in its discretion and in accordance with the Exchange requirements, grant to directors, officers, consultants and employees of the Company, options to acquire a maximum number of common shares equal to 10% of the total issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, exercisable for a period of up to ten years from the date of grant.

The Option Plan was approved by the Board of Directors and adopted by the Company on November ⚫, 2021.

Initial Public Offering

The Company intends to file its prospectus in connection with the Offering and is proposing to issue a minimum of 10,000,000 common shares (“Minimum Offering”) and a maximum of 25,000,000 common shares (“Maximum Offering”) at a price of $0.20 per common share for total gross proceeds to the Company of between $2,000,000 and $5,000,000.

It is intended that the Agents will receive a cash commission equal to 10% of the gross proceeds of the Offering in addition to a corporate finance fee of $10,000 plus reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with the Offering. The Company has also agreed to grant to the Agents compensation warrants to purchase the number of common shares equal to 10% of the number of common shares issued in the Offering, at a price of $0.20 per common share, exercisable for a period of 60 months from the date the common shares are listed on the Exchange.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements (In Canadian dollars, Unaudited) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

CUSPIS CAPITAL III LTD.

1. Nature of operations and going concern

Cuspis Capital III Ltd. (the “Company” or “Cuspis III”) was incorporated September 3, 2019 pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).

The Company intends to carry on business as a Capital Pool Corporation (“CPC”), as such term is defined in TSX Venture Exchange Inc. (the “Exchange”) Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies (“CPC Policy 2.4”). As at September 30, 2021, the Company had no business operations. The Company’s principal purpose is the identification, evaluation and acquisition of assets, properties or businesses or participation therein subject, in certain cases, to shareholder approval and acceptance by the Exchange. The Company’s registered head office is located at 77 King Street West, Suite 700, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5K 1G8.

The Company intends to complete an initial public offering (the “Offering”) subsequent to September 30, 2021 (note 14). The gross proceeds raised from the Offering may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses and obtain shareholder approval for a proposed “Qualifying Transaction” as such term is defined in Exchange CPC Policy 2.4, with the exception that general and administrative expenses are capped at $3,000 per month, including for professional accounting, advisory, and legal services expenses, and are not time limited.

Where a Qualifying Transaction is warranted, additional funding may be required. The ability of the Company to fund its potential future operations and commitments is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain additional financing.

Going concern

These condensed interim financial statements were prepared on a going-concern basis of accounting, which assumes that the Company will continue operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize the carrying value of its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company does not generate revenue from operations and incurred a net loss of $8,462 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (September 30, 2020 - $Nil). However, the Company believes that its working capital as at September 30, 2021 of $985,359 will provide the Company with sufficient cash resources to meet its obligations for at least twelve months from the end of the reporting period. As the Company has no revenues, its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing and complete a Qualifying Transaction. These condensed interim financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate. These adjustments could be material.

Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”)

The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a respiratory illness caused by COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the duration of the outbreak and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, the health crisis could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations and complete a future Qualifying Transaction.

Deferred income tax balances

Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of the following deductible temporary differences:

September 30, September 30, December 31, December 31,
2021 2020
Non-capital loss carry-forwards 13,000 $ 4,000
Share issue costs 1,000 -
$ 14,000 $ 4,000

Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Company can use the benefits.

The Company has approximately $13,000 of non-capital losses in Canada, which, under certain circumstances, can be used to reduce the taxable income of future years. These losses expire between 2039 and 2041.

11. Related party transactions

Related parties include the Board of Directors, close family members and enterprises which are controlled by these individuals as well as certain persons performing similar functions. Refer to Notes 4 and 14.

12. Management of capital

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and ensure sufficient liquidity in order to become a CPC and subsequently complete a Qualifying Transaction so that it can provide adequate returns for shareholders. The Board of Directors does not establish 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. The Company defines capital as total shareholders’ equity. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. There were no significant changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the periods ended September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

13. Financial instruments and risk management

The Company's activities may expose it to a variety of financial risks: fair values, credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate risk). The Board of Directors provides regular guidance for overall risk management.

Fair values

As at September 30, 2021, the Company’s financial instruments consist of funds held in trust, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a number of risks arising from financial instruments. Management’s involvement in the operations allows for the identification of risks and variances from expectations. The Company does not participate in the use of financial instruments to mitigate these risks. The Board approves the risk management processes. The Board’s main objectives for managing risks are to ensure liquidity, the fulfillment of obligations, the completion of the Offering, the Company’s search for a Qualifying Transaction, and to limit exposure to credit and market risks.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk through its cash balance which is held in trust at a legal firm. The Company believes its exposure to credit risk is not significant.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. None of the Company’s financial instruments bear interest. Therefore, management believes the Company has no significant exposure to interest rate risk through its financial instruments as at September 30, 2021.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place by which it anticipates and determines the funds required to support normal operation requirements. The Company coordinates this planning and budgeting process with its financing activities through the capital management process described in note 12, in normal circumstances.
