LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

To date, the Company has funded its operations and capital requirements through a combination of loans from related parties and equity financings.

As at June 30, 2020, the Company had total assets of $1,663,273. As at June 30, 2020, the Company had a negative working capital of $ 1,271,161.

Cash utilized in operating activities during the year ended June 30, 2020, was $4,064,116 (June 30, 2019 – $3,720,378).

At June 30, 2020, the Company has not achieved profitable operations and has accumulated losses of $27,994,708 since inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. This material uncertainty may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to attain profitable operations to generate funds and/or its ability to raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet its current and future obligations. Although the Company has been successful in the past in raising funds to continue operations, there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future.

Equity financing

During the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company completed several private placements by issuing 25,213,807 common shares for net proceeds of $3,121,148. In addition, 3,325,000 warrants were exercised for proceeds of $332,500. The Company also issued 3,955,025 common shares for liabilities in the amount of $965,625.

Management believes that the Company will require additional working capital to meet its primary business objectives over the next 12 months. The Company plans to raise capital through equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient

6

funds from the sale of its common shares to fund its operations or planned business development activities. Even if the Company is successful in obtaining equity financing to expand operations and to fund its business development activities, there is no assurance that it will obtain the funding necessary to acquire any additional further technology product interests. If the Company is not able to obtain additional financing, it may be forced to amend its business plan.

Any amendments to the Company’s plans will be based on many factors, including the results of our new product acquisition plan, marketing plan and financing plan; negotiations with potential product suppliers and distribution partners; and the amount of available capital. Additionally, the extent to which the Company is able to carry out its business plan is dependent upon revenue from operations and the amount of financing obtained.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company considers capital to be the sole element of shareholders’ equity. The Company’s primary objectives in capital management are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain sufficient funds to finance the sale and distribution of its technology products. The Company manages its capital structure to maximize its financial flexibility making adjustments to it in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and business opportunities. The Company does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital and is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Critical accounting estimates

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in material adjustments are as follows:

Assumptions used in the calculation of the fair value assigned to share-based payments

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for valuation of share-based payments. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions, including expected price volatility, interest rate and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company's equity reserves.

Going concern

The assumption that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern is subject to critical judgments by management with respect to assumptions surrounding the short and long-term operating budget, expected profitability, investing and financing activities and management's strategic planning. Should those judgments prove to be inaccurate, management's continued use of the going concern assumption could be inappropriate.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3 of the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2019.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS

Cash is carried at fair value using a level 1 fair value measurement. The carrying value of accounts payable, loans payable and due to related parties approximate their fair value because of the shortterm nature of these instruments.

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at June 30, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $174,252 to settle current liabilities of $2,874,753.

There can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain required financing in the future on acceptable terms. The Company anticipates it will need additional capital in the future to finance ongoing developments of its technology, such capital to be derived from the completion of other equity financings. The Company has limited financial resource and has no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for future development of its technology, although the Company has been successful in the past in financing its activities through the previously mentioned financing activities. The ability of the Company to arrange additional financing in the future will depend, in part, on the prevailing capital market conditions and the success of its technology. In recent years, the securities markets have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur. Any quoted market for the common shares may be subject to market trends generally, notwithstanding any potential success of the Company in creating revenue, cash flows or earnings.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash. The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. Receivables consist of GST receivable from the Government of Canada.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices. The Company does not have a practice of trading derivatives.

a) Interest rate risk

  • The Company’s financial assets exposed to interest rate risk consist of cash. The Company’s current policy will be to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. As at June 30, 2020, the Company did not have any investments in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates.

  • b) Foreign currency risk

  • The Company is not exposed to any foreign currency risk fluctuations.

  • c) Price risk

  • The Company is currently not exposed to any price risk.

APPENDIX 1

Risk Factors

The Company is focused on more select market introduction and development. The failure to generate future sales in the Company’s main products could have a significant and adverse effect on the Company.

The Company success will depend in large measure on certain key personnel. The loss of the services of such key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company does not anticipate having key person insurance in effect for management. The contributions of these individuals to the immediate operations of the Company are of central importance. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to attract and retain all personnel necessary for the development and operation of its business.

The Company has incurred a net loss for the year ended June 30, 2020 of $5,251,021 and has a deficit of $27,994,708. Management is continuing efforts to attract additional equity and capital

investors and implement cost control measures to maintain adequate levels of working capital. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance provided with respect to the successful outcome of these ongoing actions. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing on reasonable terms, the Company may be required to curtail or reduce its operations to continue as a going concern.

In addition, the Company’s limited working capital could affect the Company’s ability to seize upon opportunities requiring investment, or to reinvest in its products in a timely manner.
