iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 Expressed in Canadian Dollars
1. Description of Business
iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. (“iSIGN” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Ontario on May 15, 2007. The Corporation's head office is located at 45A West Wilmot Street, Unit 3 in Richmond Hill, Ontario, L4B 2P2.
iSIGN is a data focused Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) company in the areas of location-based security alert messaging and proximity messaging utilizing Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi connectivity. Creators of the Smart Suite of products, a patented interactive proximity messaging technology, iSIGN enables the delivery of messages to mobile devices, with real-time reporting and analytics.
2. Going Concern
While these consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, certain material uncertainties and events cast significant doubt upon the validity of this assumption. As at the nine-month period ended January 31, 2021, the Company has incurred significant losses since its inception in the amount of $31,869,581 (April 30, 2020 - $31,168,637). As at the nine-month period ended January 31, 2021, the Company reported a working capital deficiency of $3,896,472 (April 30, 2020 - $4,146,400) and certain of its notes payable and convertible notes are past due.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will depend on management’s ability to successfully execute its business plan and to raise capital through equity or debt financing until such time as the Company can support its activities through its own cash flow. It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful or if the Company will attain profitable levels of operation.
If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported loss and comprehensive loss and the statement of financial position classifications used. The financial statement items most likely to be subject to adjustment would be property and equipment and intangible assets.
Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”)
The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of 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 ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that 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.
3. Basis of Preparation
Statement of Compliance
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). They do not include all the information and footnotes required by the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB for full annual financial statements and should be read in Conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019.

3. Basis of Preparation - continued
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical basis using the accrual basis of accounting except for available-for-sale financial assets. The policies applied in these condensed consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS and IFRIC policies issued and effective as of January 31 2021.
The accounting policies and methods adopted are consistent with those disclosed in Note 4 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the nine months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, were approved and authorized for issue by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors on March 31 2021.
Basis of Measurement
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical costs. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.
Functional and Presentation Currency
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, iSIGN Media Corp., iSIGN Media Network Corp. and Pinpoint Commerce Inc.
Subsidiaries consist of entities over which the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns as well as the ability to affect those returns through the power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date control is transferred to the Company and are de-consolidated from the date control ceases.
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses during the reporting periods. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates and these differences could be material.
Intangible assets – The Company has capitalized certain costs to internally generated intangible assets related to intellectual property development; for costs incurred for a US patent that the Company has been awarded, as well as for patents in other jurisdictions that the Company is pursuing; and to the cost of obtaining certain contracts through a deferred share-based payment. Judgment is required in identifying whether a particular project can be properly classified as being in the development phase or not. In addition, judgment is required in order to identify and reliably measure the expenditures attributable to these development initiatives.

3. Basis of Preparation – continued
Use of Estimates and Judgments – continued
Inventories – The Company carries inventory on its accounts at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Judgment is required to evaluate when a write-down of inventory might be necessary and is required in the evaluation of available data to determine net realizable value.
Accounts receivable – The Company carries trade accounts receivable at cost net of an allowance for expected credit losses which provides for any uncertainty of collection. Judgment is required on the evaluation of future probable events that might impact a customer’s ability or intention to make full payment of these accounts.
Provisions – Provisions necessarily involve extensive judgment about the impact that a past event may have on future outlays and what amount would be required to be recorded in the current period to adequately reflect the obligation at the end of the reporting period.
Depreciation - Depreciation is calculated to amortize the cost, less estimated residual value, of property and equipment on a declining balance or a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives. Estimates of residual value and useful lives are based on data and information from various sources including vendors, industry practice, and company-specific history (Note 4).
Amortization - Amortization is calculated to amortize the cost of intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives. Useful lives are based on data and information from industry practice and company-specific history (Note 5).
Impairment - The determination of whether indicators of impairment exist and the aggregation of assets into cash generating units ("CGUs") based on their ability to generate independent cash flows is subject to management’s judgment. The recoverable amounts used for impairment calculations require estimates of future cash flows related to the assets or CGUs and estimates of discount rates applied to these cash flows.
The Company reviews impairment based on the following:
Property and equipment (Note 4) - Whenever there are indicators of impairment Intangible assets (Note 5) - Whenever there are indicators of impairment
Share-based payments - Management is required to make certain estimates when determining the fair value of stock option awards, the number of awards that are expected to vest, and warrants related to deferred stock-based payments. These estimates affect the amount recognized as share-based payments in the consolidated statements of loss, and the amounts ascribed to warrants in the statements of financial position (Note 11).
Income, value added, withholding and other taxes – The Company is subject to income, value added, withholding and other taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provisions for taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. The determination of the Company’s income, valued added, withholding and other tax liabilities requires interpretation of complex laws and regulations. The Company’s interpretation of taxation law as applied to transactions and activities may not coincide with

the interpretation of the tax authorities. All tax related filings are subject to government audit and potential reassessment subsequent to the reporting period. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such difference will impact the tax related accruals and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Compound financial instruments – The Company has entered into convertible notes payable as described in Note 9. The fair value of the conversion option is estimated at the date of the transaction as the value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. Assumptions are made, and judgments are used in applying valuation techniques. Such judgement is inherently uncertain. Changes in the valuation assumptions could materially affect the fair value estimates of the liability and equity components of the convertible debentures.

10. Other Liabilities
During fiscal 2019, the Company transferred $302,337 of accounts payable and provisions (the “Statute-Barred Claims”) to non-current liabilities on the basis that any claims in respect of the Statute-Barred Claims were statute barred under the Limitations Act (Ontario). For accounting purposes under IFRS, a debt can only be removed from the Company’s Statement of Financial Position when it is extinguished, meaning only when the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The effect of the Limitations Act is to prevent a creditor from enforcing an obligation, but it does not formally extinguish the debt for accounting purposes. It is the position of the Company’s management that the Stature-Barred Claims cannot be enforced by the creditors, do not create any obligation for the Company to pay out any cash and do not affect the financial or working capital position of the Company. The Stature-Barred Claims are required to be reflected on the Company’s Statement of Financial Position as a result of the current interpretation of IFRS, but they are classified as long-term liabilities since the Company has no intention to pay these Stature-Barred Claims and the creditors cannot enforce their payment. While inclusion of these items is intended solely to comply with the IFRS requirements, the Company in no way acknowledges any of the Stature-Barred Claims.

15. Financial Instruments and Risk Management
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount of consideration that would be agreed upon in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties who are under no compulsion to act. When the independent prices are not available, fair values are determined using valuation techniques that refer to observable market data.
These techniques include comparisons with similar instruments where market observable prices exist, discounted cash flow analysis, and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants.
Fair value
The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
The carrying amounts of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, bank and government indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, convertible note payable and advances approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
The Company had no financial instruments to classify within the fair value hierarchy as at January 31, 2021 and 2020.
Interest rate risk
The Company has cash and restricted cash balances with rates that fluctuate with the prevailing market rate. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in cash accounts or short-term interest-bearing securities issued by Canadian chartered banks. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. The Company’s notes payable and convertible notes payable bear interest at fixed interest rates.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss associated with the counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of its contract with the Company. Credit risk arises from cash and deposits with banks as well as credit exposure to outstanding receivables.
The Company’s credit risk arises primarily from the Company’s trade receivable. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure to the Company. The Company’s exposure to trade credit risk as at January 31, 2021 was $Nil (April 30, 2020 - $1,800) net of allowances.
The Company may also have credit risk relating to cash and restricted cash, of $23,353 and $10,000 (April 30, 2020 - $14,390 and $10,000), respectively, which it manages by dealing with highly rated financial institutions.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will experience difficulty in meeting its obligations that are associated with financial liabilities. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet financial obligations when they fall due, from its funding sources, such as equity and debt issuances. The Company continues to actively pursue new equity financing to ensure that it will have funds available to meet liabilities when they fall due.

17. Commitments and Contingencies - continued
Contingencies and provisions
From time to time, the Company enters into software licensing agreements with a client/business partners whereby the Company has agreed to indemnify the counterparties for liabilities that may arise during the terms of the agreements. The maximum amount of any potential future payment cannot be reasonably estimated and it is not practicable to estimate the financial effects on its consolidated financial statements.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in legal claims and counter claims, as defendants or plaintiffs. The Company has evaluated its legal actions and has estimated potential settlements and legal costs based on the current information and have accrued a provision based on management's estimate of potential outcomes. It is management's opinion that any additional liability to the Company that may arise from these matters will not have a material effect upon the operating results, financial position, or cash flows of the Company.
18. Capital Management
The Company considers that its capital is synonymous with the value of convertible notes payable, bank indebtedness and shareholders’ (deficiency).
The total of these items was as follows:
| Convertible note payables Bank indebtedness Shareholders’ (deficiency) |
January 31, 2021 April 30. 2020 |
|---|---|
| $ 2,010,639 $ 2,010,639 - (21,700) (4,148,313) (4,365,959) |
|
| $ (2,137,674) $ (2,377,020) |
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of general economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and the Company’s working capital requirements. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, may issue longterm debt, convertible notes, issue shares or repurchase shares through a normal course issuer bid. The Board of Directors reviews and approves any material transactions not in the ordinary course of business which may include various acquisition proposals, as well as capital and operating budgets. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. There were no significant changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the nine-month period ended January 31, 2021 or the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020.
The Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a lending institution or regulatory body, other than of the TSX Venture (“TSX-V”) which requires adequate working capital or financial resources of the greater of (i) $50,000 and (ii) an amount required to maintain operations and cover general and administrative expenses for a period of six months. As of January 31 2021, the Company may not be compliant with the policies of the TSX-V. The impact of this violation is not known and is ultimately dependent on the discretion of the TSX-V.
