INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders of Asia Green Biotechnology Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Asia Green Biotechnology Corp. (the "Company"), which comprise the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2022 and the statements of earnings, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audits of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to note 10 of the financials which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss during the year ended December 31, 2022 and, as of that date, the Company had an accumulated deficit. As the events or conditions along with other matters as set forth in note 2, indicate that the Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to attain profitable operations to generate funds and/or its ability to raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet its current and future obligations. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken based on these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audits and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audits.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Asia Green Biotechnology Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2022 (amounts in Canadian dollars)

1. Nature of organization and continuance of operations

Asia Cannabis Corp. was incorporated by Certificate of Incorporation pursuant to the provisions of Alberta, Canada on December 19, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Corporation initiated a process to become a publicly-listed entity on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”); on January 24, 2019, the Corporation successfully listed on the CSE under the symbol “ASIA”. The address of the registered office of the Corporation is Suite 1150, 707 – 7th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 3H6.

On April 16, 2020, the Corporation changed its name to Asia Green Biotechnology Corp. (“AGBC” or the “Corporation”) by Certificate of Amendment pursuant to the provisions of Alberta, Canada.

Asia Green Biotechnology Corp. is focused on hemp research and development. The Corporation is in the process of establishing and implementing research and development programs in Cambodia and Thailand and continues to evaluate the potential to expand its business operations to other countries in the region.

As an early-stage international agro-technology company, the Corporation is creating a business focused on the development, evaluation, testing, application and, ultimately, supply to the market of proprietary organic hybridization technology and certain products derived from that technology (the “Technology”). The core approach of the business is centered on the planting, growth and harvesting of new and valuable strains of hemp and related crops in commercial quantities under the terms of the licence agreement with InPlanta Biotechnology Inc. (“InPlanta”) and the evaluation and development of medicinal and related cannabinoidal extracts under the terms of licence agreements with Swysh Inc. (“Swysh”), and Pathway Rx Corp (“Pathway Rx”).

In March 2020, the Corporation entered into an agreement with Swysh an Alberta company controlled by a director of the Corporation, focused on the conduct of specific cannabinoid-based research and development activities and that owns proprietary technology and related intellectual property aimed at providing the basis for creation of topical treatments for a variety of external and internal conditions and ailments, including a number of anti-viral and preventative health-care applications. This agreement grants a license to AGBC to deploy the technology for the purpose of completing further research, development, testing and additional validation and establishment of practical applications with a view to commercialization of the technology in the greater region of Asia. The Swysh agreement allows AGBC to participate in research and development activities based on Swysh’s intellectual property and associated rights.

In August 2020, the Corporation entered into an agreement with Pathway Rx an Alberta company controlled by a director of the Corporation, pursuant to which the Corporation is granted an exclusive license to clinically develop and commercialize the Cannabis sativa varieties to which Pathway Rx owns the rights for prevention and for treatment of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. This agreement grants a license to the Corporation to deploy the technology for the purpose of completing further research, development, testing and additional validation and establishment of practical applications with a view to commercialization of the technology in the greater region of Asia.

In September 2020, the Corporation entered into an agreement with Pathway Rx and PNW Biosciences Inc. (“PNW”) in which the three companies have determined to act collaboratively to affect the clinical development and commercialization of the Cannabis sativa varieties for prevention and for treatment of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. PNW has also entered licensing agreements with Pathway Rx (covering all global territories) to fund and cooperate with Pathway Rx to deploy the technology for the purpose of completing further research, development, testing and additional validation and establishment of practical applications with a view to commercialization of the technology in those territories. The new agreement among all three parties establishes a plan to allow the joint development of that technology with a mutual level of participation in the potential rewards that these activities may create.

(a) Going concern

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Corporation incurred net losses of $198,315 (December 31, 2021 – $524,517), had accumulated a deficit of $2,964,424 (December 31, 2021 - $2,766,109) and no current sources of cash inflows. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Corporation’s continuing operations, as intended, will require additional funding. There is no assurance that the Corporation will be able to obtain the required future funding. Successful execution of the Corporation’s strategy is contingent, in part, upon compliance with regulatory requirements enacted by governmental authorities and obtaining all the requisite licenses, permits and other regulatory approvals (the "Regulatory Approvals"). Failure to receive the necessary Regulatory Approvals, comply with requirements of the Regulatory Approvals or maintain the Regulatory Approvals in good standing, will have a material adverse impact on the business, financial condition, and operating results of the Corporation. Although the Corporation believes it will be able to qualify for the Regulatory Approvals and meet requirements thereof, there can be no guarantee that the relevant regulators will accept the Corporation's applications for the Regulatory Approvals or, if they do, whether such regulators will continue to be satisfied with the Corporation's maintenance of the Regulatory Approvals.

The commercial hemp industry is an evolving industry, and the Corporation cannot predict the impact of the compliance regimes in Cambodia or elsewhere in Asia. Similarly, the Corporation cannot predict the time required to secure all appropriate Regulatory Approvals for its products, or the extent of testing and documentation that may be required by the relevant governmental and regulatory authorities. The impact of the applicable compliance regimes, and any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain, Regulatory Approvals, may significantly delay or impact the development of markets, products and sales initiatives, and could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and operating results of the Corporation.

The Corporation cannot predict the time required to secure all appropriate Regulatory Approvals for its products, or the extent of testing and documentation that may be required by governmental and regulatory authorities. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain, necessary Regulatory Approvals will significantly delay the development of markets and products, and could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation.

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 has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including the Corporation’s. It is not possible for the Corporation to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Corporation’s business or results of operations at this time.

The failure of the Corporation to achieve one or all of the above items may have a material adverse impact on the Corporation’s financial position, results of financial performance and cash flows. These factors indicate the existence of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Corporation to continue as a going concern is dependent upon successful execution of its plans noted above. The outcome of these initiatives cannot be predicted at this time. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Corporation be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

Asia Green Biotechnology Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2022 (amounts in Canadian dollars)

2. Basis of preparation

  • (a) Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) in effect at January 1, 2022.

These financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on April 6[th] , 2023.

(b) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value as explained in the accounting policies. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation adopted in the current year.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Corporation’s functional currency.

(d) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the actual results. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected.

The following discussion sets forth management’s most critical estimates, judgments and assumptions in preparation of the financial statements:

Going concern

The assessment of the Corporation’s ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital involves judgement. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance. There is a material uncertainty regarding the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Corporation’s principal source of cash is from private placements. The Corporation is dependent on raising funds in order to have sufficient capital to be able to identify, evaluate and then acquire an interest in assets or a business.

Taxes

The Corporation files corporate income tax, goods and service tax and other tax returns with various

  • 7 -

Asia Green Biotechnology Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2022 (amounts in Canadian dollars)

provincial and federal taxation authorities in Canada. There can be differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations. The resolution of any differing tax positions through negotiations or litigation with tax authorities can take several years to complete. The Corporation does not anticipate that there will be any material impact upon the results of its operations, financial position or liquidity.

Tax provisions are based on enacted or substantively enacted laws. Changes in those laws could affect amounts recognized in income or loss both in the period of change, which would include any impact on cumulative provisions, and in future periods.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent it is considered probable that those assets will be recoverable. This involves an assessment of when those deferred tax assets are likely to reverse and a judgment as to whether or not there will be sufficient taxable profits available to offset the tax assets when they do reverse. This requires assumptions regarding future profitability and is therefore inherently uncertain.

Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted funds from operations. During the year ended December 31, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021, the Corporation has not recorded any deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of future taxable profits.

Share options and warrants

The amounts recorded relating to the fair value of share options and warrants issued are based on estimates of the volatility using historical volatilities of peer companies that are publicly traded, market price of the Corporation's shares at the grant date, expected lives of the options and warrants, risk-free interest rate, forfeiture rate, expected dividends and other relevant assumptions.

Impairment of intellectual property

Impairment of assets not yet in use are assessed for impairment on an annual basis. This assessment takes into account factors such as economic and market conditions as well as any changes in the expected use of the asset.

3. Significant accounting policies

Current tax

Current tax expense is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items that are not taxable or not deductible. Current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that were enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. Provisions are established where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred tax

Deferred taxes are the taxes expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets on the statement of financial position and their corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and their corresponding tax basis. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets in a transaction

  • 8 -

Asia Green Biotechnology Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2022 (amounts in Canadian dollars)

that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Cash

Cash includes cash held at a financial institution on behalf of the Corporation under a Trust agreement (Note 8).

Financial instruments

Financial assets

Recognition and initial measurement

The Corporation recognizes financial assets when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are measured initially at their fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition. Transaction costs attributable to the acquisition of financial assets subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss when incurred.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets are classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost. Interest revenue is calculated using the effective interest method and gains or losses arising from impairment, foreign exchange and derecognition are recognized in profit or loss. Financial assets measured at amortized cost are comprised of cash and due from shareholder.

Reclassifications

The Corporation reclassifies debt instruments only when its business model for managing those financial assets has changed. Reclassifications are applied prospectively from the reclassification date and any previously recognized gains, losses or interest are not restated.

Impairment

The Corporation recognizes a loss allowance for the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets, other than debt instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss and equity investments. Expected credit losses are measured to reflect a probability weighted amount, the time value of money, and reasonable and supportable information regarding past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

Financial assets are written off when the Corporation has no reasonable expectations of recovering all or any portion thereof.

Refer to note 8 for additional information about the Corporation’s credit risk management process, credit risk exposure and the amounts arising from expected credit losses.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Corporation derecognizes a financial asset when its contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire.

  • 9 -

Asia Green Biotechnology Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2022 (amounts in Canadian dollars)

Financial liabilities

Recognition and initial measurement

The Corporation recognizes a financial liability when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. At initial recognition, the Corporation measures financial liabilities at their fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their issuance, with the exception of financial liabilities subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss for which transaction costs are immediately recorded in profit or loss.

Where an instrument contains both a liability and equity component, these components are recognized separately based on the substance of the instrument, with the liability component measured initially at fair value and the equity component assigned the residual amount. Transaction costs of equity transactions are treated as a deduction from equity.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest, gains and losses relating to a financial liability or a component classified as a financial liability are recognized in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Corporation derecognizes a financial liability only when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.

Impairment – non-financial assets

The Corporation assesses during each reporting period whether there have been any events or changes in circumstances that indicate that its intangible assets (intellectual property) may be impaired and an impairment review is carried out whenever such an assessment indicates that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such indicators include but are not limited to changes in the Corporation’s business plans, economic performance of the assets, an increase in the discount rate and evidence of physical damage. For the purposes of impairment testing, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows. Where impairment exists, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount, which is the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal (“FVLCD”) and its value in use (“VIU”). Impairments are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

In subsequent years, assessments are made at each reporting period date as to whether any indication exists that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If indication exists, the Corporation calculates the new recoverable amount. Reversal of impairment losses are limited so that the carrying amount of the non-financial asset does not exceed its recoverable amount or exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the non-financial asset in prior periods. Reversal of impairment losses are recognized, when incurred, in profit or loss.

Share-based payments

Share-based payments are comprised of share option awards granted to employees, directors and others which are equity-settled share-based payments. These equity-settled share-based payments are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments and are recognized as an employee expense with the offsetting credit as an increase to contributed surplus.

  • 10 -

Asia Green Biotechnology Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2022 (amounts in Canadian dollars)

Upon exercise of share options, the Corporation issues new shares. The associated fair value amount is reclassified from the contributed surplus to share capital. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital when the options are exercised. Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received. Where the fair value of goods or services received cannot be reliably measured, it is measured based on the fair value of the equity instrument granted.

The Corporation adopted a share option plan, which allows the Corporation to issue options to the directors and officers of the Corporation to purchase ordinary shares of the Corporation at a stipulated price. The option grants will not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Corporation. The Corporation measures these amounts at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to the shareholders of the Corporation by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is determined by adjusting the loss attributable to shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the effect of all potential shares, which is comprised of any outstanding warrants or options. Escrow shares, which are considered contingently issuable, are excluded from loss per share calculations. The calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effect of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be anti-dilutive.

Share capital

Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

The Corporation may incur various costs when issuing or acquiring its own equity instruments. Those costs might include registration and other regulatory fees, amounts paid to legal, accounting and other professional advisers, printing costs and stamp duties. The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity (net of any related income tax benefit) to the extent they are incremental costs directly attributable to the equity transaction that otherwise would have been avoided. Costs related to a planned equity offering not completed at the financial statement date are recorded as deferred financing costs until the offering is either completed or abandoned. The costs of an equity transaction that is abandoned are recognized as an expense.

Foreign currency

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into their Canadian dollar equivalents at exchange rates prevailing at transaction dates. Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities are subsequently adjusted to reflect the exchange rates in effect at the reporting date. Non-monetary items denominated in a foreign currency are translated into Canadian dollars at historical exchange rates. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net loss for the period.

Share purchase warrants

Share purchase warrants may be granted to third parties as partial compensation for services or issued to shareholders are part of unit financings. Share purchase warrants are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments and are recognized as share issue costs with an offsetting credit as an increase to warrants.

  • 11 -

Asia Green Biotechnology Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2022 (amounts in Canadian dollars)

Upon exercise of share purchase warrants, the Corporation issues new shares. The associated fair value amount is reclassified from warrants to share capital. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital when the share purchase warrants are exercised.

New Standards adopted during the year:

There are currently no new standards or amendments that impact the Corporation’s financial statements.

Expected life of each option granted 5 years
Estimated forfeiture rate 0%

Pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement dated April 25, 2018, a total of 14,953,933 common shares issued to the directors and officers of the Corporation will be held in escrow. Under the escrow agreement, 10% of the escrowed common shares will be released upon the listing date and an additional 15% will be released therefrom every 6-month interval thereafter, over a period of 36 months. These escrow shares, which are considered contingently issuable, are excluded from loss per share calculations. As at December 31, 2022, no common shares are held in escrow (December 31, 2021 – 2,243,090 common shares).

7. Capital management

The Corporation's capital consists of share capital. The Corporation's objectives when managing capital are:

  • (i) to maintain a flexible capital structure, which optimizes the cost of capital and acceptable risk; and,

  • (ii) to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence in order to sustain the future development of the business.

The Corporation sets the amount of capital in relation to risk and manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes to economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.

The Corporation is not subject to any externally or internally imposed capital requirements at year-end.

8. Financial instruments

The Corporation, as part of its operations, carries financial instruments consisting of cash held in trust and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. It is management's opinion that the Corporation is not exposed to significant credit, interest, or currency risks arising from these financial instruments, except as otherwise disclosed.

  • 14 -

Asia Green Biotechnology Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2022 (amounts in Canadian dollars)

In 2020, the bank account in which the Corporation’s cash was being held was closed and the full balance of the cash was transferred to the bank account under a numbered company owned 50-50 by the CEO and Director together with the CFO and Director. A trust deed has been declared that the numbered company is holding the funds in trust and will transact on behalf of Corporation.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with the counterparty's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. As at December 31, 2022, the Corporation’s cash was held with one financial institution, which is a Canadian Bank. Management believes that the risk of loss is minimal, but the Corporation is subject to concentration of credit risk.

Liquidity risk

The Corporation's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle its liabilities as and when they fall due. As at December 31, 2022, the Corporation had cash of $12,404 to settle obligations of $268,278. All of the Corporation's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of 30 days or are due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The Corporation is not exposed to interest rate risk.

  • (i) Foreign currency risk

As at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Corporation had USD of $Nil.

Fair value

Fair value represents the price at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in an orderly market, in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties who are under no compulsion to act. The Corporation classifies the fair value of the financial instruments according to the following hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instrument.

Level 1: Fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in the active market for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

Level 3: Fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The carrying amount of the Corporation’s financial instruments, consisting of cash, due from shareholder and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these items.
