3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management's discussion and analysis of operating results and financial condition are made with reference to the Company's unaudited condensed interim financial statements and notes thereto for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, which have also been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Company's significant accounting policies are summarized in detail in note 3 of the Company's financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, which are available under the Company's profile on www.SEDAR.com.
4. OVERVIEW
The Company
Stormcrow Capital Corp. was incorporated November 6, 2019 pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The Company's corporate and tax year-end is December 31.
Strategy
The Company is carrying 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"). The Company's shares are listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "CROW.P". Refer also to the section entitled "Share capital – Initial public offering".
As at June 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.
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. Under the Exchange CPC Policy 2.4, the Company must identify and complete a Qualifying Transaction within 24 months from September 23, 2020, the date the Company's shares were listed for trading on the Exchange. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Qualifying Transaction within 24 months of being listed or that it will be able to secure the necessary financing to complete a Qualifying Transaction. The Exchange may suspend or delist the Company's shares from trading should it not meet these requirements.
Deductible costs of this issue include listing and filing fees, the Agent's expenses and legal fees, the Agent's corporate work fee and the Company's legal fees, audit fees and expenses.
Qualifying Transaction and share trading halt
On December 11, 2020, the Company entered into a letter of intent (the "LOI") with Highmark Innovations Inc. ("Highmark"), a software developer for medical diagnostics doing business as Highmark Interactive (the "Transaction"). The LOI outlines the principal terms and conditions for the Transaction, which will result in a reverse takeover of Stormcrow by Highmark and its shareholders.
In connection with the announcement of the LOI, which is deemed an Agreement in Principle for the Qualifying Transaction, trading in the common shares of the Company was halted pursuant to the policies of the Exchange. Trading will remain halted until, among other things, the Company completes certain regulatory filings in connection with the Qualifying Transaction with the Exchange and the Exchange has completed certain matters it considers necessary or advisable. The Transaction is subject to satisfactory due diligence and the completion of a formal agreement which will be subject to a number of conditions precedent. Should the Qualifying Transaction not be completed as a result of a breach of the LOI by the Company, the Company will be required to pay a penalty of $250,000.
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 Qualifying Transaction.
5. CASH RESTRICTION
There is a restriction on the use of proceeds realized from the sale of all securities issued by the Company as a CPC. The gross proceeds raised from the Company's Initial Public Offering (the "Offering") may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses and obtain shareholder approval for the proposed "Qualifying Transaction" as such term is defined in Exchange CPC Policy 2.4 ("Transaction Expenses") with the exception that the lesser of 30% of the gross proceeds and $210,000 may be used for purposes other than those included in the Transaction Expenses.

The remaining 50% may only be sold after completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

Filing fees

9. 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.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Chitiz Pathak LLP, a law firm of which an officer of the Company is a Partner, provided legal services estimated at $34,567 and $44,699 respectively of which $30,951 and $40,899 respectively was allocated to Qualifying Transaction costs and the balance of $3,616 and $3,800 respectively was expensed to professional and filing fees.

See also the section entitled "Share capital".
10. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital
As at June 30, 2021, the Company had no debt and working capital totaled $1,839,850 (December 31, 2020 – $1,926,785).
The Company funds its activities through equity financing. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had raised approximately $155,000 in seed financing in addition to $150,000 which was originally raised in the period ended December 31, 2019, and $2,000,000 by way of the Offering, all through the issuance of common shares, to fund its operations.
The current cash on hand is expected to be sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity requirements until a Qualifying Transaction is completed. However, upon completion of a Qualifying Transaction, additional capital may be necessary.
The Company does not generate revenue from operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the company's losses totaled $86,935 (June 30, 2020 - $14,358). However, the Company believes that its working capital 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 obtaining additional financing and completing a Qualifying Transaction.
11. INVESTOR RELATIONS
Until completion of a Qualifying Transaction, neither the Company nor any party on behalf of the Company will engage the services of any person to provide investor relation activities or market making services.
12. PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has entered into a LOI with Highmark (refer to the section entitled "Overview - Qualifying Transaction and share trading halt" for more details).
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, an effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.
13. OPERATING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
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 remain a CPC and 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 other than the disclosure contained in the section entitled "Cash restriction". There were no significant changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the periods ended June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
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 June 30, 2021, the Company's financial instruments consist of cash, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the relatively shortterm 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 Company's completion of 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 at a Canadian financial institution. 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 had no significant exposure to interest rate risk through its financial instruments as at June 30, 2021 and 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 the section entitled "Operating risks and uncertainties – Management of capital", in normal circumstances. The Company's accounts payable and accrued liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and have normal trade terms.
Risks and uncertainties
The Company does not have a history of operations. There is no assurance that it will produce revenue, operate profitably or provide a return on investment in the future.
The Company's continued operation will be dependent upon its ability to complete the proposed Qualifying Transaction and to generate operating revenues and to procure additional financing. To date, the Company has done so through equity financing.
The Company has no active business or assets other than cash. It does not have a history of earnings, nor has it paid any dividends. It will not generate earnings or pay dividends until at least after the completion of the Qualifying Transaction.
The directors and officers of the Company will only devote a small portion of their time to the business and affairs of the Company. Some of them are or will be engaged in other projects or businesses such that conflicts of interest may arise from time to time.
The Company is relying solely on the past business success of its directors and officers to identify a Qualifying Transaction of merit. The success of the Company 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 Company. In such event, the Company will seek satisfactory replacements but there can be no guarantee that appropriate personnel may be found.
The Company has only limited funds with which to complete the proposed Qualifying Transaction. The Qualifying Transaction may be financed in whole, or in part, by the issuance of additional securities by the Company. This may result in further dilution to investors, which dilution may be significant and which may also result in a change of control of the Company. Subject to prior Exchange approval, the Company may be permitted to loan or advance up to an aggregate of $250,000 of its proceeds as a refundable deposit to a target business under certain conditions noted in the CPC Policy. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to recover that loan.
Completion of any 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 minority approval.
The Exchange will generally suspend trading of the common shares or delist the Company in the event that the Exchange has not issued a Final Exchange Bulletin within 24 months from the date of listing.
Potential Dilution
The Company may issue options and warrants or additional common shares from time to time in the future. If it does so, the ownership interest of the Company's then current shareholders could be diluted.
