GATEKEEPER SYSTEMS INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2020
(expressed in Canadian dollars except where noted)
1. Description of Business and Nature of Operations
Gatekeeper Systems Inc. (the “Company” or “Gatekeeper”) was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on August 26, 2010 and completed its initial public offering as a Capital Pool Company on January 7, 2011. The Company specializes in design, manufacturing and marketing of video security solutions for mobile and extreme environments.
On March 1, 2018, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary called Gatekeeper Systems USA Inc. (the “Subsidiary”).
The head office and principal address is located at Suite 301, 31127 Wheel Avenue, Abbotsford, British Columbia, V2T 6H1. The Company’s registered and records office is located at 10th floor, 595 Howe Street Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2T5.
The subsidiary company, Gatekeeper Systems USA Inc., was formed as a corporation pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware on March 1, 2018 with a principal address located at 221 Valley Road, Wilmington, Delaware 19804. The Subsidiary’s registered and records office in the State of Delaware is 9E Loockerman Street, Suite 311, Dover, Delaware 19901, County of Kent.
The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at November 30, 2020 and August 31, 2020 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has a net income of $225,080 for the period ended November 30, 2020 (November 30, 2019 – net loss of $15,747 and has a working capital of $8,624,034 at November 30, 2020 (August 31, 2020 – $8,325,049).
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,729,239 at November 30, 2020 (August 31, 2020 – $1,029,324), but management cannot provide assurance that the Company will maintain profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. Management intends to continue to support the operations with financing initiatives primarily through, but not limited to, the issuance of equity. Alternative financing options may include obtaining bank credit facilities and short-term loans from third parties. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financings or obtain them on favorable terms. This uncertainty may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying value or presentation of assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be material.
The recent outbreak of the coronavirus, also known as "COVID-19", has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. Conditions surrounding the coronavirus continue to rapidly evolve and government authorities have implemented emergency measures to mitigate the spread of the virus. The outbreak and the related mitigation measures may have an adverse impact on global economic conditions as well as on the Company’s business activities. The extent to which the coronavirus may impact the Company’s business activities will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in Canada and other countries to contain and treat the disease. These events are highly uncertain and as such, the Company cannot determine their financial impact at this time. While certain restrictions are presently in the process of being relaxed, it is unclear when the world will return to the previous normal, if ever. This may adversely impact the expected implementation of the Company’s plans moving forward.

2. Basis of Preparation and Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of computation as compared with the most recent annual financial statements, being for the year ended August 31, 2020, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual financial statements. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on January 25, 2021.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost method, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value and are presented in Canadian dollars except where otherwise indicated.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its controlled, wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are consistent with those described in the audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2020.
4. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.
Areas requiring a significant degree of estimation and judgment include those that relate to the fair value measurements for financial instruments and share-based payments, the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities, inventory valuation and ability to continue as a going concern. Actual results may differ from those estimates and judgments.
Significant Estimates
(a) Allowances for Doubtful Accounts
The Company must make an assessment of whether trade receivables are collectible from customers. Accordingly, management establishes an allowance for estimated losses arising from non-payment, taking into consideration customer credit, current economic trends and past experience. If future collections differ from estimates, future earnings would be affected.

4. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates (continued)
Significant Estimates (continued)
(b) Inventory Valuation
The Company adjusts inventory values so that the carrying values do not exceed the net realizable value. The valuation of inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value requires the use of estimates with regards to the amount of current inventory that will be sold, the prices at which it will be sold, and an estimate of expected orders from customers. Additionally, the estimates reflect changes in products or changes in demand because of various factors, including the market for products, obsolescence, change in product offerings, technology changes and competition.
(c) Impairment of Financial Assets
At each reporting date the Company assesses financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events occurred during the period that negatively affected the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset.
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired can include significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor, default or the disappearance of an active market for a security. If the Company determines that a financial asset is impaired, judgment is required in assessing the available information in regard to the amount of impairment; however the final outcome may be materially different than the amount recorded as a financial asset.
(d) Warranty Provision
The Company estimates a provision for future warranty claims based on historical claims as well as recent trends at each reporting date. A provision is made for estimated warranty claims in respect of products sold which are still under warranty at the end of the reporting period. These claims are expected to be settled in the next financial year.
(e) Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment and Finite-Life Intangible Assets
The Company reviews estimates of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and finite-life intangible assets on an annual basis and adjusts depreciation or amortization on a prospective basis, if needed. Changes in technology or the intended use of assets, as well as changes in business prospects or economic and industry factors, may cause the estimated useful lives of these assets to change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and finite-life intangible assets are determined by internal asset life analysis, which takes into account actual and expected future usage, physical wear and tear, replacement history and assumptions about technology evolution. When factors indicate that assets’ useful lives are different from the prior assessment, the Company depreciates or amortizes the remaining carrying value prospectively over the adjusted estimated useful lives.
(f) Leases
The Company estimates the lease term by considering the facts and circumstances that can create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option by assessing relevant factors such as profitability and operations. Extension option (or options after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be included (or not terminated). The assessment of the lease term is reviewed if a significant event or significant change in circumstance occurs, which affects this assessment and that is within the control of the lessee. The Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate used to measure its lease liability for each lease contract. This includes estimation in determining the assetspecific security impact.

4. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates (continued)
Significant Estimates (continued)
(g) Share-Based Payments
Management assesses the fair value of stock options granted in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 3 of the August 31, 2020 audited financial statements. The fair value of stock options is measured using the Black-Scholes Option Valuation Model. The fair value of stock options granted using valuation models is only an estimate of their potential value and requires the use of estimates and assumptions.
The Company has adopted a relative fair value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. Under the relative fair value method, the value of the private placement units are proportionally allocated between the shares and warrants issued based on their relative fair value. Judgement is required in determining the fair value of the shares, determined based on the closing price on the date of the transaction, and the fair value of the warrants, determined based on a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
(h) Current and Deferred Income Taxes
Current and deferred income tax provisions and obligations are calculated for each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Actual amounts of income tax expense and obligations are not final until tax returns are filed and assessed by the relevant taxation authorities. This occurs subsequent to the issuance of the financial statements, and the final determination of actual amounts may not be completed for a number of years. Therefore, financial results in subsequent periods will be affected by the amount that estimates differ from the final tax return.
Significant Judgements
(a) Current and Deferred Income Taxes
Judgement is required in determining whether deferred tax assets are recognized on the statement of financial position and what tax rate is expected to be applied in the year when the related temporary differences revers, particularly in regard to the utilization of tax loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unutilized tax losses require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate taxable earnings in future periods, in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that the cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the net deferred tax assets recorded at the statement of financial position date, if any, could be impacted. Additionally, future changes in tax laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiary operate could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in future periods.
(b) Determination of Functional Currency
The functional currency of each of the Company’s subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Determination of functional currency may involve certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders the functional currency of its entities if there is a change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic environment.
(c) Going Concern
Management is required to determine whether or not the going concern assumption is appropriate for the Company at the end of each reporting period. Considerations taken into account include available information about the future including the availability of financing and revenue projection, as well as current working capital balance and future commitments of the Company.

9. Business Combination
Effective April 1, 2018 the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Gatekeeper Systems USA Inc., purchased certain operating assets and service contracts from Wilmington, Delaware-based Spector Logistics, Inc. In the agreement for Purchase and Sale of Business Assets (the “Agreement”), Spector Logistics, Inc. indemnified Gatekeeper Systems Inc. from all pre-existing liabilities relating to the purchase transaction. The assets and contracts acquired under the Agreement represented substantially all of the business of Spector Logistics, Inc. and therefore the transaction is being accounted for as a business combination.
The business assets of Spector Logistics, Inc. were acquired for a purchase price of US$300,000 with payment terms of US$100,000 due upon closing, US$50,000 due April 1, 2019, and US$150,000 payable in 12 monthly installments of US$12,500 commencing May 1, 2018. As at November 30, 2020, included in accrued and other liabilities is $87,314 (US$67,248) (August 31, 2020 - $87,684) related to the Agreement (notes 13 and 24).

The goodwill of $152,633 (US$114,225) is attributable to the marketing, sale and servicing of mobile video safety and security solutions in the United States. Goodwill, which is deductible for income tax purposes, is the excess of the cost of an acquired enterprise over the net amount assigned to individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment annually by comparing the fair value of the operating cash flows to the carrying value of the reporting unit.

20. Financial Instruments
Financial Assets and Liabilities
Information regarding the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as at November 30, 2020 and August 31, 2020 is summarized as follows:
| November 30, | August 31, |
|
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2020 |
|
| Financial Assets | ||
| Fair value through profit and loss, at fair value | ||
| Cash and cash equivalents (note 6) | $ 2,729,239 | $ 1,029,324 |
| Loans and receivable, at amortized cost | ||
| Trade receivables and other receivables(note 7) | 4,759,365 | 7,701,400 |
| Total Financial Assets | $7,488,604 | $8,730,724 |
| Financial Liabilities | ||

| Other liabilities, at amortized cost | ||
| Short-term loan (note 12) | - | - |
| Trade payables (note 13) | 1,046,949 | 1,537,094 |
| Bonus payable (note 23) | 1,400,000 | - |
| Finance lease obligation - current (note 14) | 140,316 | 134,837 |
| Long-term finance lease obligation (note 14) | 786,701 | 815,395 |
| Spector Logistics, Inc. purchase payable (notes 10 and 13) | 90,209 | 87,684 |
| Salaries and benefits payable (note 13) | 303,644 | 308,695 |
| Total Financial Liabilities | $ 3,767,819 | $ 4,295,674 |
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost is determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis or using prices from observable current market transactions. The Company considers that the carrying amount of its financial assets and financial liabilities, with a shortterm maturity and demand nature, and recognized at amortized cost in the financial statements approximates their fair value of these instruments.
The following table provides an analysis of the Company’s financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Level 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the inputs used to determine the fair value are observable.
-
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. As at November 30, 2020, the Company used level 2 inputs to determine the fair value of the finance lease obligation.
-
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based on observable market data. As at November 30, 2020, the Company does not have any Level 3 financial instruments.
==> picture [8 x 32] intentionally omitted <==
The fair value of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash is based on level 1 inputs.
Financial Instrument Risk Exposure
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk, currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions are undertaken to support the Company’s ability to continue. Risk management is carried out by management under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Management identifies and evaluates the financial risks in co-operation with the Company’s operating units. The Company’s overall risk management program seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance, in the context of its general capital management objectives (note 21).

(expressed in Canadian dollars except where noted)
20. Financial Instruments (continued)
a) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is in its cash accounts and accounts receivable. This risk related to cash is managed through the use of a major financial institution which has high credit quality as determined by the rating agencies. Accounts receivable mainly consists of receivables from its customers. In order to reduce its credit risk, the Company has adopted credit policies which include the analysis of the financial position of its customers and the regular review of their credit limits. In some cases, the Company requires bank letters of credit or subscribes to credit insurance.
At November 30, 2020, 19% of the Company’s trade accounts receivable balance is over 90 days past due (August 31, 2020 –26%). The carrying amount of trade and other receivables as at November 30, 2020 was $4,759,365 (August 31, 2020 - $7,720,780). The Company insures its non-government accounts receivable.
b) 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 its normal operating requirements.
The Company’s ongoing liquidity is impacted by various external events and conditions. The Company expects to repay its financial liabilities in the normal course of operations and to fund future operational and capital requirements through operating cash flows, as well as future equity and debt financing.
The Company coordinates this planning and budgeting process with its financing activities through the capital management process (note 21). The Company’s financial liabilities are comprised of its trade payables, short-term loan, finance lease obligation, Spector Logistics, Inc. purchase payable, and salaries and benefits payable, the contractual maturities of which at November 30, 2020 and August 31, 2020 are summarized as follows:
| November 30, | August 31, | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2020 | ||
| Payables with contractual maturities: | |||
| Within 90 days or less | $ 935,824 | $ |
1,793,149 |
| In later than 90 days,not later than oneyear | 982,665 | 2,002,323 | |
| $ 1,918,490 | $ |
3,795,472 |
c) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings in financial instruments.
Interest Rate Risk
==> picture [8 x 32] intentionally omitted <==
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rate. The Company has no significant exposure at November 30, 2020 to interest rate risk through its financial instruments.
Commodity Price Risk
Commodity price risk is the risk due to which business financial performance is adversely affected by fluctuations in the prices of commodities. The Company has no significant exposure at November 30, 2020 to commodity price risk through its financial instruments.

20. Financial Instruments (continued)
Financial Instrument Risk Exposure (continued)
c) Market Risk (continued)
Currency Risk
Currency risk is the risk that the Company will be subject to foreign currency fluctuations in satisfying obligations related to its foreign activities.
The Company’s objective in managing its foreign currency risk is to minimize its net exposures to foreign currency cash flows. The Company monitors and forecasts the values of net foreign currency cash flow and statement of financial position exposures and from time to time could authorize the use of derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge a portion of foreign currency fluctuations.
The following is an analysis of Canadian dollar equivalent of financial assets and liabilities that are denominated in United States dollars as of November 30, 2020 and August 31, 2020:
| November 30, | August 31, |
|
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2020 |
|
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ 2,282,014 | $ 538,191 |
| Trade and other receivables | 4,314,566 | 7,208,833 |
| Trade and other payables and accrued liabilities | 495,974 | (1,941,883) |
| Lease liabilities | (401,807) | (419,235) |
| $ 6,690,747 | $ 5,385,906 |
Based on the above net exposure at November 30, 2020, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar would result in an approximately $669,074 decrease or increase respectively in both net and comprehensive loss (August 31, 2020 – $538,591). The Company has not employed any currency hedging programs during the period ended November 30, 2020.
21. Management of Capital
The capital managed by the Company includes a Line of Credit (note 12) and the components of shareholders’ equity as described in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity. During the year, the Company was subject to financial covenants related to its Lines of Credit. During the period ended November 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with any required financial covenants.
The Company’s objectives of capital management are to create long-term value and economic returns for its shareholders. It does this by seeking to maximize the availability of finance to fund the growth and development of its operations, and to support the working capital required to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its assets, seeking to limit shareholder dilution and optimize its cost of capital while maintaining an acceptable level of risk. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company considers all sources of finance reasonably available to it, including but not limited to issuance of new capital, issuance of new debt and the sale of assets in whole or in part. The Company’s overall strategy with respect to management of capital at November 30, 2020 remains fundamentally unchanged from the year ended August 31, 2020.

24. Commitments and Contingencies
As of November 30, 2020, the Company’s contractual obligations and contingencies are as follows:
-
a) The Company has commitments to make payments related to the acquisition of certain operating assets and service contracts of Spector Logistics, Inc. (note 10).
-
b) The Company derives its revenue from the sale of products in various tax jurisdictions, which are subject to various Canadian and foreign federal and provincial laws and regulations governing taxes. These laws and regulations are continually changing. The Company believes its operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. There is no guarantee that the Company’s chosen tax position will not be challenged by tax authorities in these jurisdictions which could result in additional taxes, related non-income tax amounts, interest and penalties payable (note 19).
The Company regularly assesses its income tax and related non income tax amounts and obligations and the related filing obligations in the United States and Canada. It is management’s position that adequate provisions have been made in the financial statements related to such obligations. However, there exists uncertainty due to the fact that the Company could be assessed differently by tax and/or other regulatory authorities in a manner that is not consistent with management’s expectation. This situation would result in management being required to adjust its provision for income taxes and related non income tax amounts in the period that such a situation occurs and such adjustments could be material (note 19).
