DARELLE ONLINE SOLUTIONS INC. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

As at August 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the years ended August 31, 2021 and 2020

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders of Darelle Online Solutions Inc.:

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Darelle Online Solutions Inc. and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at August 31, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits 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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audits of the consolidated 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

We draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company, as at August 31, 2021, had not achieved profitable operations and had a cumulative deficit and a working capital deficit. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, 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.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated 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.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audits and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audits.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Adriel Fernandes.

Darelle Online Solutions Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended August 31, 2021 and 2020

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Darelle Online Solutions Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Vancouver, British Columbia on February 11, 2005. The Company’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) under the symbol “DAR”. The primary office is located at 4610 Sheridan Ridge Road, Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada.

The Company provides an online raffle lottery system to charities. The online raffle program enables charitable and nonprofit organizations to create, sell, deliver, and manage their raffle ticket and 50/50 draws completely online.

The consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”) were reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issued on November 30 2021.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and upon obtaining additional financing. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.

As at August 31, 2021, the Company had not achieved profitable operations and has a cumulative deficit of $8,444,710 (2020 - $8,316,838) and a working capital deficit of 816,554 (2020 - $723,419). Management estimates that results from operation and working capital are not sufficient to meet the Company’s obligations and commitments and budgeted expenditures through August 31, 2021.There is a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.

Any funding shortfall may be met in the future in a number of ways including but not limited to, the issuance of new debt or debt financing. While management has been successful in securing financing in the past, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future or that these sources of funding or initiatives will be available to the Company or that they will be available on terms which are acceptable to the Company. If management is unable to obtain new funding, the Company may be unable to continue its operations, and amounts realized for assets might be less than amounts reflected in the Financial Statements.

Since March 2020, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which included the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruptions to business globally 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. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time. The impact of these factors on the Company is not yet determinable; however, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in future periods may be materially affected.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretation Committee (“IFRIC”). These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of IFRS standards that are effective for the Company’s reporting year ended August 31, 2021.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.

(a) Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, or services rendered, the sales price is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Revenue consists primarily of consideration from customers for “set-up fees” and “processing fees”. Set-up fees are non-refundable and are recorded upon the execution between the nonrelated parties of a service agreement. Processing fees included a flat fee per ticket which are sold during the course of a raffle. The Company recognizes processing fees once a raffle has been closed.

Revenue is measure based upon 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.

The Company follows a five-step model in the Standard to recognize revenues:

  1. Identify the contract with customer.

  2. Identify the performance obligation in the contract

  3. Determine the transaction price

  4. Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract

  5. Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation

(b) Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Darelle Online Solutions Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Darelle Media Inc. and 0639305 B.C. Ltd. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

(c) Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis and have been prepared in Canadian dollars, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(d) Cash

Cash includes cash on hand deposited at financial institutions.

(e) Intangible Assets

Acquired

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination are their fair values at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Software

Expected life of the software (5 years)

Intangible assets developed internally are capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product of process is technically, and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and has the ability to use or sell the asset. The expenditures capitalized includes cost of materials, direct labor, and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use.

Capitalized development expenditures are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. These intangible assets will be amortized straight-line over its useful life once the product is available for use. It has been determined by management that the useful life of these development costs as of a period of 5 years.

(f) Impairment of Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, including software acquired in conjunction with the acquisition of Darelle Media Inc. and internally generated development costs, are reviewed and tested for impairment when indicators of impairment are considered to exist. Impairment assessments are conducted at the level of cash-generating units (“CGU”) or at the individual asset level, whichever is the lowest level for which identifiable cash inflows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess of carrying amount of the CGU over its recoverable amount, which is the greater of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

Impairment losses are reversed if there is evidence the loss no longer exists or has decreased. This reversal is recognized in net income in the period the reversal occurs limited by the carrying value that would have been determined, net of any depreciation, had no impairment charge been recognized in prior years.

10

Darelle Online Solutions Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended August 31, 2021 and 2020

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(g) Share-based payments

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for all stock options awarded to employees, officers and directors based on the fair values of the stock options at the date of the grant. The fair values of the stock options at the date of grant are expensed over the vesting periods of the stock options with a corresponding increase to equity. The fair value of stock options granted to employees, officers, and directors is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with market related inputs as of the date of grant. The fair value of stock options granted to consultants is measured at the fair value of the services delivered unless fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case, fair value is determined using the BlackScholes option pricing model. Stock options with graded vesting schedules are accounted for as separate grants with different vesting periods and fair values. Forfeitures are accounted for using estimates based on historical actual forfeiture data.

Upon the exercise of the stock option, consideration received, and the related amount transferred from reserves are recorded as share capital.

(h) Income taxes

Income tax on the profit or loss for the years presented 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. 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 provided using the liability method, providing for 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 nor taxable profit; and, differences relating to investment 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 financial position reporting date.

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. Deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the substantive enactment date.

(i) Loss per share

The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is determined by adjusting the loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all warrants and options outstanding, if dilutive, that may add to the total number of common shares.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(j) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivatives, are recognized on the consolidated financial statements of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the financial instrument or derivative contract.

Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities in the following measurement categories: i) those to be measured subsequent at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”); ii) those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”); and iii) those to be measured at amortized cost. The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial liabilities are classified as those to be measured at amortized cost unless they are designated as those to be measured subsequently at FVTPL (irrevocable election at the time of recognition).

The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.

Amortized cost

This category includes financial assets that are held within a business model with the objective to hold the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that meet the solely principal and interest (“SPPI”) criterion. Financial assets classified in this category are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Fair value through profit or loss

This category includes derivative instruments as well as quoted equity instruments which the Company has not irrevocably elected, at initial recognition or transition, to classify at FVOCI. This category would also include debt instruments whose cash flow characteristics fail the SPPI criterion or are not held within a business model whose objective is either to collect contractual cash flows, or to both collect contractual cash flows and sell. Financial assets and liabilities in this category are recorded at fair value with changes recognized in consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Equity instruments that are not held-for-trading can be irrevocably designated to have their change in fair value recognized through other comprehensive income instead of through profit or loss. This election can be made on individual instruments and is not required to be made for the entire class of instruments. Attributable transaction costs are included in the carrying value of the instruments. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially measured at fair value and changes therein are recognized in other comprehensive income.

12

Darelle Online Solutions Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended August 31, 2021 and 2020

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Measurement

All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition, plus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at FVTPL, transaction costs are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at FVTPL are expensed in consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Financial assets and financial liabilities with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

Impairment

IFRS 9 includes an expected credit loss model for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. Expected credit losses are the present value of cash shortfalls over the remaining expected life of the financial asset using either 12-month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit loss.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized costs is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.

In assessing collective impairment, the Company uses historical trends of the probability of default, timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends.

Losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

(k) Government assistance

Amounts received or receivable resulting from government assistance programs, including grants under the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy program (“CEWS”) and the Canada Emergency Benefit Account (“CEBA”), are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the amount of government assistance will be received, and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the amount relates to an expense item, it is recognized in income on a systematic basis as a reduction to the costs that it is intended to compensate. When the amount relates to an asset, it reduces the carrying amount of the asset and is then recognized as income over the useful life of the depreciable asset by way of a reduced depreciation charge.

CEBA provides a loan (“CEBA Loan”) up to $60,000 to eligible businesses. The loan is interestfree until December 31, 2022 and will then become a interest-bearing loan at 5%. Pursuant to IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, the benefit of a government loan at below - market rate is treated as a government grant and measured in accordance with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments. The benefit of below - market rate shall be measured as the difference between the initial carrying value of the loan (being the present value of a similar loan at market rates) and the proceeds received. This benefit is then accreted over the life of the loan.

(l) Significant accounting estimates and critical judgments

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Significant accounting estimates

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to the following:

The calculation of share-based compensation requires estimates of volatility, forfeiture rates and market prices surrounding the issuance of share options. These estimates impact sharebased compensation expense and share-based payment reserve.

  • i) The Company makes estimates related to the amortization method and the estimated useful life of the intangible assets.

  • ii) Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in the year of acquisition. Using the fair value of the intangible assets, an impairment loss is recognized in profit and loss in an amount equal to the excess of carrying amount over the fair value of intangible assets.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Critical accounting judgements

Critical accounting judgements are accounting policies that have been identified as being complex or involving subjective judgements or assessments.

  • i) These consolidated 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 for the foreseeable future. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, then

  • adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of the assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the statement of financial position classifications used (note 1).

  • ii) Accounting for income taxes is a complex process requiring management to interpret frequently changing laws and regulations and make judgements relating to the application of tax law, the estimated timing of temporary difference reversals, and the estimated realization of tax assets. All tax fillings are subject to subsequent government audits and potential reassessment. These interpretations, judgements and changes related to them impact current and deferred tax provisions, deferred tax assets and liabilities and results of operations.

  • (m) Accounting standards issued but not yet effectives

A number of new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for the year ended August 31, 2021 and have not been early adopted in preparing these consolidated condensed financial statements. These new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial consolidated condensed financial statements. A summary of future IFRS amendments is as follows:

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS1)

On January 23, 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, to clarify the classification of liabilities as current or non-current. On July 15, 2020, the IAS issued an amendment to defer the effective date by one year. The amendments removed the requirement for a right to defer settlement or roll over of a liability for at least twelve months to be unconditional to classify such liability as a non-current liability. Instead, such a right must have substance and exist at the end of the reporting period.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Early adoption is permitted.

Property, Plant and Equipment – Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendment of IAS 16)

On May 14, 2020, the IASB issued Property, Plant and Equipment – proceeds before intended use (Amendment to IAS 16). The amendments clarify that proceeds from selling items before the related item of Property, Plant and Equipment is available for use should be recognized in the statements of comprehensive loss, together with the cost of producing those items.

6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

IFRS 13, Fair value measurement, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:

  • Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

  • Level 3: Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their varying amount due to their short-term nature. The carrying values of the CEBA loans have been fair valued at inception and will be accreted up to their face value over their expected term.

Financial assets valued at amortized cost are cash, accounts receivable and deposits. The Company has no financial assets valued at FVTPL or FVTOCI.

The Company’s financial liabilities measured at amortized costs are accounts payables and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, and the CEBA loans.

The Company has exposure to credit, foreign exchange, liquidity, and interest rate risk as follows:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of that a counterparty to a financial asset will default, resulting in the Company incurring a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and accounts receivable to a maximum of the varying value of the items at the reporting date.

The Company mitigates its exposure to credit risk by maintaining its bank accounts with major Canadian financial institutions with strong investment-grade ratings by a primary ratings agency.

Accounts receivable is comprised of the following:

August 31, August 31,
2021 2020
Trade receivables $ 99,052 $ 37,186
Allowance for doubtful debts - 1,838
Net trade receivables 99,052 35,348
Other receivables 5,378 (790)
$ 104,430 $ 34,558

The Company’s trade receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis for impairment.

Foreign exchange risk

The Company incurs certain operating expenses and capital expenditures in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollar can impact the Company’s reported results.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulties in meeting its financial obligations.

The Company’s monitors its ability to meet its short-term operating expenditures by raising additional funds through share issuances when required. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Company’s access to the capital market or other alternative forms of financing is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generated or related to matters specific to the Company.

7. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company defines its capital as follows:

  • shareholders’ equity, comprising of issued common shares, reserves and deficit;

  • long term debt, including any current portion; and

  • short term borrowing

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the funding of its marketing and operational plans and any joint venture and project commitments extending beyond one year. 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. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended August 31, 2021. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

21

10. LOAN PAYABLE

Due to the global COVID-19 outbreak, the federal government of Canada introduced the Canada Emergency Benefit Account ("CEBA"). CEBA provides an interest-free loan (“CEBA Loan”) of $40,000 to eligible businesses. The CEBA loan program was subsequently expanded to $60,000. The CEBA Loan has an initial term that expires on December 31, 2022, throughout which, the CEBA Loan remains interest free. Repayment of $40,000 by December 31, 2022, results in a $20,000 loan forgiveness. If the balance is not paid prior to December 31, 2022, the remaining balance will be converted to a 3-year term loan at 5% annual interest, paid monthly effective January 1, 2023. The full balance must be repaid by no later than December 31, 2025.

Since, the Company is expected to repay the loan before December 31, 2022, the $20,000 for the forgiveness of the loan was recognized as other income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

The remaining loan has an initial carrying value at $31,583 using a discount rate of 10.94%, which was the estimated rate for a similar loan without the interest free component. The CEBA Loans shall be accreted to the $40,000 face value over the term of the loan. The difference of $8,417 between the face value and the carrying value is recorded as government grant income.

During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company recorded $3,154 (2020 - $nil) of accretion expense on the CEBA loans payable.

11. PROPOSED TRANSACTION

On June 26, 2019, the Company announced it had entered into an arm’s length letter of intent (“LOI”) with North Star Holdings (“North Star”) in which the securityholders of North Star would acquire control of the Company (“Proposed Transaction”).

The reverse-takeover of the Company would result in North Star shareholders receiving 167,410,516 post-consolidation shares representing 98.8% of the outstanding shares of the Company once a consolidation is completed. The existing Company shareholders will continue to hold shares representing a 1.2% interest on a post-consolidation basis.

The transaction would involve the spin-out of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Darelle Media Inc. (“darelle”). The darelle business currently constitutes all or all substantially all of the business of the Company. Current shareholders of the Company will receive an interest in the spin-out entity equal to their existing equity interest based upon a record date to be determined.

On or before closing of the Proposed Transaction, North Star had agreed to make a cash payment of $250,000 to darelle in consideration of the issuance of such number of common shares as will constitute 17.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of darelle (on a fully diluted basis) on closing.

Immediately prior to closing of the Proposed Transaction, the Company shall have no outstanding indebtedness, liabilities or obligations, except for $150,000 owing to two companies owned by an officer of the Company and an officer of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which shall be settled on closing date of the Proposed Transaction through the issuance of shares of the resulting issuer at a price per share equal to the concurrent offering price of any financing completed on closing.

11. PROPOSED TRANSACTION (continued)

Upon execution of the LOI North Star was to make two (2) non-refundable payments of $25,000 to the Company. These payments have been made. In addition, North Star will pay the Company an amount equal to the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses including listing fees, expenses associated with shareholder meeting, reasonable fees of legal counsel, accountants and other advisors incurred by the Company in connection with the Proposed Transaction. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020, North Star paid the Company $17,679 as reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. Under the terms of the LOI, the Transaction was to be consummated on or before December 31, 2019. During the year the Company signed a number of extensions to the LOI with North Star and on April 28, 2021 the Company signed an agreement extending the terms of the LOI until June 15, 2021.

The Company has been unable to communicate with North Star to determine whether North Star intended to proceed with the Proposed Transaction and/or intended to terminate the Proposed Transaction. On July 16, 2021, the Company provided notice to North Star that unless North Star provided clear intent to proceed with the Proposed Transaction by August 6, 2021, the Proposed Transaction would be considered terminated by North Star. The Company received no firm commitment from North Star that it intended to proceed and considers the Proposed Transaction terminated by North Star.
