3. COMPANY OVERVIEW

ImagineAR Inc. (formerly Imagination Park Technologies Inc.) ("the Company") is a public company domiciled in Canada incorporated in British Columbia under the laws of the Business Corporation Act (BC, Canada) on October 11, 2011. On April 17, 2019, the Company was continued under the Canadian Business Corporations Act. The Company's head office is located at #510 – 580 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 3B6.

The Company's core business is to deliver engaging and interactive digital content to users through a cloudbased enterprise augmented reality ("AR") platform with a brand name of ImagineARTM.

Since March 1, 2019, the Company transitioned ImagineARTM software development from San Diego, California to Canada to reduce monthly expenditures and leverage a new development partner's mobile app expertise. ImagineARTM functionality, features, and architecture have been significantly improved with eight new mobile app version releases from March 1, 2019 – July 26, 2019. In calendar year 2019, the Company was focused on beta-tests and successful proof of concepts in key target marketplaces to develop a reference base of use cases and testimonials. As the Company has become fully commercialized starting September 2019, recurring client revenue is expected to increase in the second half of calendar year 2020 as the prospective sales funnel has continued to grow on a month-by-month basis as well as contracted clients are implementing new monthly AR Campaigns. Unfortunately, Covid-19 has negatively impacted the North American sports and live events marketplace and therefore reduced the Company revenue expectations in 2020. But with this new pandemic paradigm, the Company continues to receive requests for demonstrations from organizations in brands, sports, and the music marketplace.

About ImagineARTM Product Suite

ImagineAR.com - is an "AR-as-a-Service" platform for desktops that enables businesses of any size to create and implement their own AR campaigns with no programming or technology experience. Every organization, from professional sports franchises to small retailers, can develop interactive AR campaigns that blend the real and digital worlds using ImagineAR™. Customers simply point their mobile device at logos, signs, buildings, products, landmarks and more to instantly engage videos, information, advertisements, coupons, 3D holograms and any interactive content all hosted in the cloud and managed using a menu-driven portal. Integrated real-time analytics means that all customer interaction is tracked and measured in real-time.

ImagineARTM is the consumer AR mobile app that allows the user to visualize the AR content once it is activated through ImagineARTM Client Studio. The activated content can be in the form of an image, text or video. ImagineARTM can also deliver AR rewards, sweepstakes and create AR scavenger hunts. The mobile app is available for free in both the IOS and Android mobile app stores.

ImagineAR TM SDK/API - Companies can integrate the ImagineAR™ platform with their existing mobile app. Larger companies and brands, who have significantly invested in their mobile app, can instantly create AR immersive campaigns to further expand consumer usage, activation, and downloads.

ImagineARTM Cloud - Centralized content management system where the content is securely stored and managed.

The Company developed the ImagineAR.com self-service website which allows any organization or individual utilizing a credit card, to create and launch an augmented reality campaign in minutes without the need for a technical resource.

4. NATURE OF CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

The consolidated financial statements were prepared with the assumption that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. Continued operations of the Company are dependent on the Company's ability to receive financial support, complete additional debt or equity financing, or generate profitable operations in the future. The Company believes it will be able to raise the necessary funding to continue operations however, there is no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include the adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

At August 31, 2020, the Company had a net working capital of $4,221,228 (August 31, 2019 – $16,921).

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or ability to raise funds.

These events and conditions result in a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include the adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

5. OUTLOOK

The Company will continue to generate awareness for its platform by marketing its technology in various verticals including retail, sports and live entertainment, education, and fundraising. As announced, the Company has established a number of strategic partnerships and alliances and performed numerous demonstrations to chief marketing officers and chief decision makers.

As the Company cycles through the sales funnel, feedback has been encouraging and a robust pipeline of new prospective opportunities is emerging. Over the next twelve months, management expects to convert these potential opportunities into revenue growth and expects to realize revenue in the form of monthly recurring revenues from licensing fees and upfront professional services fees from gaming and custom content.

14. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS AND FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Effective September 1, 2019, the Company adopted the following accounting policies:

Leases

In the current year the company adopted and applied IFRS 16 Leases (as issued by the IASB in January 2016). IFRS 16 Leases replaces IAS 17, Leases and IFRIC 4, Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, the customer ("lessee") and the supplier ("lessor"). The standard brings most leases onto the statement of financial position for lessees under a single model, eliminating the previous classifications of operating and finance leases. The only exemption to this treatment is for low value leases or lease contracts with a duration of less than one year. This standard results in the recognition of a right of use asset and an accompanying lease liability in the statement of financial position.

The company has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.The details of accounting policies under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 are disclosed separately.

On initial application, for leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, the company has elected to record right of use assets based on the corresponding calculated lease liability at September 1, 2019 of $44,998. When measuring lease liabilities for those leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, the Company discounted future lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate as at September 1, 2019.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments

The Company recognizes a financial asset or financial liability on the consolidated statement of financial position when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value, and are derecognized either when the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or when cash flows expire. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and are derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.

A write-off of a financial asset (or a portion thereof) constitutes a derecognition event. Write-off occurs when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering the contractual cash flows on a financial asset.

Classification and measurement

The Company determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified according to the following measurement categories. Those to be measured subsequently at fair value, either through profit or loss ("FVTPL") or through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI"); or those to be measured subsequently at amortized cost.

The classification and measurement of financial assets after initial recognition at fair value depends on the business model for managing the financial asset and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding, are generally measured at amortized cost at each subsequent reporting period. All other financial assets are measured at their fair values at each subsequent reporting period, with any changes recorded through profit or loss or through other comprehensive income (which designation is made as an irrevocable election at the time of recognition).

The classification and measurement bases of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

New classification and
Financial Assets and Liabilities measurement IFRS 9
Cash Fair value through profit and loss
Receivables Amortized cost
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost
Convertible debentures –liability portion Amortized cost
Loans payable Amortized cost

The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.

Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of a financial asset or financial liability classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost of FVOCI are included in the fair value of the instrument on initial recognition. Transaction costs for financial assets and financial liabilities classified at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss.

Classification

The Company's financial assets consists of cash, which is classified and measured at FVTPL and accounts receivable which are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company's financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are classified and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is reported in profit or loss.

Impairment

The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with any financial assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition based on all information available, and reasonable and supportable forward-looking information.

Assets carried at amortized cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on assets carried at amortized cost has occurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is then reduced by the amount of the impairment. The amount of the loss is recognized in profit or loss.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases, and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

Fair value

The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments based on current interest rates, market value and pricing of financial instruments with comparable terms. Unless otherwise indicated, the carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair market value because of the near maturity of those instruments.

Financial statements measured at fair value on the statements of financial position are summarized in levels of fair value hierarchy as either "Level 1" Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; "Level 2" Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and, "Level 3" Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

Financial instruments measured at fair value on the statements of financial position are summarized in levels of fair value hierarchy as follows:

August31, 2020 August 31, 2019
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
AssetCash $4,659,437 $- $ -$439,721 $- $-

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 credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and receivables. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by placing its cash with a high credit quality financial institution in Canada. The receivables that are financial instruments consist of trade receivables. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instrument or future media related transactions. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure it has a planning and budgeting process in place to determine the funds required to support its ongoing operations and capital expenditures. The Company ensures that sufficient funds are raised from private placements to meet its operating requirements, after taking into account existing cash and expected exercise of share purchase warrants and options. Management believes that it will be successful in raising the necessary funds however, given the current market conditions, management believes that the raising of the required funds will take longer than is normal and will be at prices that may be less than desirable. There are no assurances that additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. As at August 31, 2020, the Company had $485,448 (2019 - $476,966) of accounts payable and accrued liabilities which are due on standard trade payable terms not exceeding 90 days.

Interest risk

Interest risk consists of two components: to the extent that payments made or received on the Company's monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk; and to the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rates on the Company's monetary assets and liabilities the Company is exposed to interest rate fair value risk. The Company has cash balances and no material interest-bearing debt, therefore, interest rate risk is minimal.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's functional and presentation currency is the Canadian dollar. Certain expenditures are transacted in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in these foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar. As at August 31, 2020, the Company has US$1,134,731 included in cash, US$21,795 included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. A 5% change in the exchange rate will result in a $55,647 change on profit or loss.

16. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company. 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. Management considers the Company's capital structure to primarily consist of the components of shareholders' equity.

The Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out future transactions and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess additions to its media business if it feels there is sufficient economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the period presented. The Company and its subsidiaries are not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

17. CONTINGENCIES

The Company is unaware of exposure to any contingent liabilities.

18. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company's financial condition, results of operations and business are subject to risks. The following are identified as the main risk factors:

Financing

The Company is reliant upon financing in order to continue its operations because it does not derive any income from its assets. There is no guarantee that future sources of funding will be available to the Company. If the Company is not able to raise additional funding in the future, it will be unable to carry out its operations.

Key Personnel

The future of the Company is dependent on the management of the Company. The departure of any of operations or management personnel or their inability to continue being functional could have an adverse impact on the Company's growth, business, financial position, and operating results.

Competition

The Company will compete with many larger companies and newcomers to the industry that will have greater financial and technical resources than the Company for the development of its applications as well as the recruitment and retention of qualified consultants and employees.
