HUNTER TECHNOLOGY CORP.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (All amounts expressed in US dollars unless indicated) For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

1. Nature of Operations

Hunter Technology Corp., (the “Company”) is incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s primary operations is technology development of its Hunter Marketplace Solutions, which presently consists of two primary platforms (“Platforms”) focused on and targeted at the physical oil market. The Company’s registered address is Suite 1800 – 510 West Georgia St., Vancouver, BC, V6B 0M3, Canada.

The Company’s common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “HOC”, quoted on the OTC Markets Group (“OTCQB”) under the symbol “HOILF”, and quoted on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “RWP”. The Company’s CUSIP number is 445737307 and its new ISIN is CA4457373070.

On May 4[th] , 2022 the Company completed a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of one (1) postconsolidation common share for every ten (10) pre-consolidation shares. All common shares and per share amounts have been restated to give retroactive effect to the share consolidation. (Note 8).

On, November 8[th] , 2022 the Company completed a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of one (1) postconsolidation common share for every two (2) pre-consolidation shares. All common shares and per share amounts have been restated to give retroactive effect to the share consolidation. (Note 8).

2. Going Concern

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate as 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 for the twelve-month period following the date of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. The Company has negative working capital of $762,8 14 as at September 30, 2022.

The proposed business of the Company involves a high degree of risk and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate positive cashflows from operations. Additional funds may be required to enable the Company to successfully deploy its Platforms and the Company may be unable to obtain such financing on terms which are satisfactory to it. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the business will be profitable. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption deemed to be inappropriate. These adjustments could be material.

3. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  • a) Statement of Compliance - These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim condensed financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting.” The Company has consistently applied the same accounting policies as those set out in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. Certain disclosures included in the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed in the following note disclosures or have been disclosed on an annual basis only. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The accounting policies applied in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of November 28, 2022, the date the Company’s Board of Directors approved the statements.

b) Basis of Presentation

  • i. Basis of Measurement – These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, modified where applicable. In addition, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

  • ii. Functional and Presentation Currency – These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated. Items included in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The functional currency is the United States dollar.

  • c) Basis of Measurement and Estimation Uncertainty – The timely preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, and the amount of revenues and expenses. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates. See Note 4 for areas of estimation and judgement that management considers most significant.

(the “Parent Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. The following table lists the Company’s principal operating subsidiaries, their jurisdiction of incorporation and its percentage ownership as of the date of this report:

(4) Entities formally dissolved during the year ended December 31, 2021.

4. Acquisition

On December 31, 2020, the Company acquired all the outstanding and issued shares of FinFabrik Limited (“Finfabrik”), a financial technology development company based in Hong Kong. The total consideration was paid by the issuance of 605,510 common shares of the Company, and $250,000 in cash.

At the time of the acquisition, the Company determined that Finfabrik constituted a business, as defined under IFRS 3, Business Combinations, and accounted for it as such. The Company recognized the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values on the acquisition date. (See Note 5)

The value of the common shares was estimated using a commonly used option model that estimates the discount related to the lack of marketability of the shares from the contractual restrictions. The goodwill recognized on the acquisition is primarily attributed to the assembled workforce and the synergies which will contribute to operational efficiencies with the Company.

Goodwill & Impairment Testing

The Company performs an impairment test annually on December 31 and whenever there is an indication of impairment. Irrespective of whether an indication of impairment existed, management is also required to perform its annual goodwill impairment test as goodwill is not subject to amortization. Management completed its annual impairment test of both its intangible assets and goodwill relating to the Finfabrik CGU to which it relates.

The Company recognized an impairment charge to goodwill of $5,271,274 for the period ending December 31, 2021. This represented the remaining balance of goodwill acquired from the Finfabrik acquisition.

9. Stock Options

The Company records stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements for stock options granted using the fair value method. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

11. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, using available information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and often cannot be determined with precision. The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

  • Level 1 – Values are based on unadjusted quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

  • Level 2 – Values are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace. Prices in level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

  • Level 3 – Values are based on prices or valuation techniques that are not based on observable market data.

The Company has determined that the carrying value of its short-term financial assets and liabilities (cash, restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities) approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

12. Risk Management

The technology development industry is highly competitive and, in addition, exposes the Company to a number of risks. Technological development involves a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. It is also highly capital intensive and the ability to complete a development project may be dependent on the Company's ability to raise additional capital and attracting suitable yet affordable human capital. In certain cases, this may be achieved only through joint ventures or other relationships, which would reduce the Company's ownership interest in the project. There is no assurance that development operations will prove successful.

Risks Associated with Financial Assets and Liabilities – The Company is exposed to financial risks arising from its financial assets and liabilities. Financial risks include market risks (such as commodity prices, foreign exchange and interest rates), credit risk and liquidity risk. The future cash flows of financial assets or liabilities may fluctuate due to movements in market prices and the exposure to credit and liquidity risks. Disclosures relating to exposure risk are provided in detail as follows:

Credit Risk - Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's financial instruments exposed to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, and accounts receivable. The Company has little exposure to credit risk as all of its deposits and related receivable are with major financial institutions or government related receivables.

12. Risk Management (cont’d)

Liquidity Risk - Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due, and it is one of the most significant risks for the Company. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. At September 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $17,953, excluding restricted cash of $27,591, and the Company also had negative working capital of $762,814. The Company is heavily dependent on raising funds by borrowings, equity issues, or asset sales to finance its ongoing operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions. The contractual maturity of the majority of accounts payable is within three months or less. The Company has historically financed its expenditures and working capital requirements through the sale of common stock or, on occasion, through the issuance of shortterm debt; there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms acceptable to the Company.

Foreign Exchange Risk - Substantially all of the Company’s assets and expenditures are either denominated in or made with US dollars or Hong Kong Dollars. Considering this and the current US Hong Kong dollar currency peg, the Company has very limited exposure to foreign exchange risk in relation to existing commitments or assets denominated in a foreign currency. The Company also incurs administrative expenses in Canadian dollars, but has chosen not to enter into any foreign exchange contracts since its Canadian dollar working capital balances are not significant to the consolidated entity.
