Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has financed the majority of its operations and work programs to date through equity issuances. There can be no assurance of continued access to sufficient equity funding. Management believes it will be able to raise equity capital as required in the long term but recognizes there will be risks involved that may be beyond their control. The Company has no outstanding debt facility upon which to draw. Cash is invested in business accounts with large financial institutions and is available on demand for the Company’s operations. During the period ended June 30, 2022, cash outflows from operations totaled $96,772. The Company did not complete any financings during 2022.

As at June 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,288,667, as a result of the accrual of the arbitration award costs in the Company’s Panamanian subsidiary. Management considers that the Company has sufficient available cash and cash equivalents to be able to continue in operations for at least the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Change in Accounting Policies including Initial Adoption

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 2 of the Company’s 2021 audited consolidated financial statements. Critical accounting estimates remain the same as disclosed in the 2021 audited annual consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments and Other Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, short-term investment, and trade and other payables. All of the financial instruments are measured at amortized cost. Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.

The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

The Company does not use derivative instruments or hedges to manage various risks because the Company’s exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risks (including interest rate risk and currency risk) is relatively low. Cash is held through large financial institutions. Additional disclosures relating to the Company’s financial instruments can be found in Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements.
