INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Shareholders of:
Alchemist Mining Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Alchemist Mining Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the statement of financial position as at April 30, 2020, and the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, 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 April 30, 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit 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 audit 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 2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of $435,360 during the year ended April 30, 2020. As stated in Note 2, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Comparative Information
The financial statements of the Company for the year ended April 30, 2019 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on April 6, 2020.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
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 IFRSs, 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.
2
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 as a whole 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 on the basis of 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.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
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.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Robert G. Charlton, CPA, CA.

ALCHEMIST MINING INC. Notes to the Financial Statements Years Ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Alchemist Mining Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as NY85 Capital Inc. under the Business Corporations Act on October 22, 2010 in the province of British Columbia. On October 1, 2012, the shareholders of the Company approved the name change from NY85 Capital Inc. to Alchemist Mining Inc. at the Annual General and Special Meeting of the Company. On August 20, 2014, the Company de-listed from the TSX-V and commenced trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE"). The common shares of the Company are listed for trading on the CSE under the symbol AMS. The Company has been operating in a single business segment focusing on mineral exploration in Canada. The Company is transitioning to a technology developer and provider initially targeting the Cannabis sector and is waiting for approval of their change in business by the CSE.
2. GOING CONCERN
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes 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.
Several adverse conditions may cast significant doubt on the validity of this assumption. For the year ended April 30, 2020 the Company incurred a net loss of $435,360 (2019 - $990,277), and as at April 30, 2020, has an accumulated deficit of $4,069,102 (2019 - $3,754,370). At April 30, 2020, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $516,119 (2019 - $109,115). The Company has limited resources, no sources of operating cash flows and no assurances that sufficient funding will be available to continue operations for an extended period of time. The Company is in the development stage, and accordingly, has not yet commenced revenue-producing operations.
The application of the going concern concept is dependent upon the Company’s ability to satisfy its liabilities as they become due and to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of its technologies and the attainment of profitable operations. Management is actively engaged in seeking to raise the necessary capital to meet its funding requirements. There can be no assurance that management’s plan will be successful. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements then adjustments may be necessary in the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the statement of financial position classifications used. Such adjustments could be material.
On March 11, 2020, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, was declared by the World Health Organization as a global pandemic. This has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and physical distancing, have caused material disruption to business globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.
3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Approval of the financial statements
The financial statements of the Company for the year ended April 30, 2020 were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved and authorized for issue on October 16, 2020 by the Board of Directors of the Company.

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)
Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
Effective May 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”). The adoption of this standard did not have a material measurement or disclosure impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company’s functional currency. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses.
Significant accounting judgments
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the financial statements are discussed below:
The carrying value of the exploration and evaluation assets and the recoverability of the carrying value
The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditures requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company.
If, after exploration and evaluation expenditures are capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount the Company carries out an impairment test at the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) or group of CGUs level in the year the new information becomes available. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefit, including geologic and metallurgic information, economics assessment/studies, accessible facilities, existing permits and ability to continue development.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Significant accounting judgments (continued)
The carrying value of the deposit for the Green Rush asset and the recoverability of the carrying value
The application of the Company’s accounting policy for the deposit for the Green Rush asset requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, which may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. Estimates and assumptions may change if new information becomes available. If, after payments are capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of the payments are unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off in profit or loss in the period the new information becomes available. Management review estimates at least annually and are updated if expectations change as a result of technical obsolescence or legal and other limits to use.
Going concern
The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to raise sufficient funds to pay for its ongoing operating expenditures, meet its liabilities for the ensuing year, and to fund planned and contractual technology development programs, involves significant judgment based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances .
Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are provided below. Actual results may be substantially different.
Deferred income tax
The Company recognizes a deferred tax asset to extent recovery is probable. Assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets requires management to make significant estimates of future taxable profit against which deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. In addition, changes in tax laws could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in future periods.
Share-based payments
Estimating the fair value of granted stock options requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected rate of forfeitures, volatility and dividend yield, and making assumptions about them.
Equipment
Recognition and measurement
On initial recognition, equipment is valued at cost, being the purchase price and directly attributable costs of acquisition or construction required to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Company, including appropriate borrowing costs and the estimated present value of any future unavoidable costs of dismantling and removing items.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Equipment (continued)
Equipment is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization, less any accumulated impairment losses.
Amortization
The amortization rates applicable to each category of equipment are as follows:
==> picture [317 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Class of equipment Amortization rate
----- End of picture text -----
Computer equipment 55% declining-balance Furniture and fixtures 20% declining-balance
One-half the normal amortization is taken in the year of acquisition.
Exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditures
Exploration and evaluation activities involve the search for minerals, the determination of technical feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an identified resource.
Exploration and evaluation costs incurred prior to obtaining licenses are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Once a license to explore an area has been secured, expenditures on exploration and evaluation activities are capitalized, and classified. Such expenditures include, but are not limited to, exploration license expenditures, leasehold property acquisition costs, evaluation costs, including drilling costs directly attributable to a property, and directly attributable administrative costs. From time to time the Company may acquire or dispose of a mineral property pursuant to the terms of an option agreement. As the options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee, the amounts payable or receivable are not recorded. Option payments are recorded as property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment and transferred to “mines under construction”. No amortization is taken during the exploration and evaluation phase.
Decommissioning liabilities
An obligation to incur decommissioning and site rehabilitation costs occurs when environmental disturbance is caused by exploration, evaluation, development or ongoing production.
Decommissioning and site rehabilitation costs arising from the installation of plant and other site preparation work, discounted to their net present value, are provided when the obligation to incur such costs arises and are capitalized into the cost of the related asset. These costs are charged against operations through depreciation of the asset and unwinding of the discount on the provision.
Depreciation is included in operating costs while the unwinding of the discount is included as a financing cost. Changes in the measurement of a liability relating to the decommissioning or site rehabilitation of plant and other site preparation work are added to, or deducted from, the cost of the related asset. The costs for the restoration of site damage, which arises during production, are provided at their net present values and charged against operations as extraction progresses.

ALCHEMIST MINING INC. Notes to the Financial Statements Years Ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Exploration and evaluation assets (continued)
Changes in the measurement of a liability, which arises during production, are charged against operating profit. The discount rate used to measure the net present value of the obligations is the pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. To date, the Company does not have any decommissioning liabilities.
Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amount of the Company’s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine if there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual CGUs, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of CGUs for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses for its long-lived assets, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or CGU in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments are accounted for as follows:
| IAS 39 | IFRS 9 | |
|---|---|---|
| Financial Asset | ||
| Cash | Fair value through profit and | FVTPL |
| loss (“FVTPL”) | ||
| Financial Liabilities | ||
| Accounts payable and | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |
| accrued liabilities | ||
| Loans payable | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |
| Shareholder loans | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
Financial assets
- (i) Recognition and measurement of financial assets
The Company recognizes a financial asset when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
- (ii) Classification of financial assets
The Company classifies financial assets at initial recognition as financial assets: measured at amortized cost, measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost
A financial asset that meets both of the following conditions is classified as a financial asset measured at amortized cost:
-
The Company’s business model for the such financial assets, is to hold the assets in order to collect contractual cash flows.
-
The contractual terms of the financial asset gives rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the amount outstanding.
A financial asset measured at amortized cost is initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to the asset. After initial recognition, the carrying amount of the financial asset measured at amortized cost is determined using the effective interest method, net of impairment loss, if necessary.
Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”)
Elected investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognized initially at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to the asset. After initial recognition, the asset is measured at fair value with changes in fair value included as “financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income” in other comprehensive income.
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)
A financial asset measured at fair value through profit or loss is recognized initially at fair value with any associated transaction costs being recognized in profit or loss when incurred. Subsequently, the financial asset is re-measured at fair value, and a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss in the reporting period in which it arises.
- (iii) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset if the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. Any interests in transferred financial assets that are created or retained by the Company are recognized as a separate asset or liability. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. However, gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive loss.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. A financial liability is derecognized when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or when it expires. Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortized cost. All interest-related charges are reported in profit or loss within interest expense, if applicable. The Company’s financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities and classified as financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortized cost.
Income taxes
Income tax expense consisting of current and deferred tax expense is recognized in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates substantively enacted at year-end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regard to previous years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities and the related deferred income tax expense or recovery are recognized for deferred tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that substantive enactment occurs.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, the deferred tax asset is reduced. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Share-based payments
The Company grants stock options to acquire common shares of the Company to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The fair value of share-based payments to employees is measured at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is recognized over the vesting period. Fair value of share-based payments for non-employees is recognized and measured at the date the goods or services are received based on the fair value of the goods or services received. If it is determined that the fair value of goods and services received cannot be reliably measured, the share-based payment is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Where a grant of options is cancelled or settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and recognizes the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest, except to the extent the payment exceeds the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess is recognized as an expense.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Share-based payments (continued)
For both employees and non-employees, the fair value of share-based payments is recognized as either an expense or capitalized with a corresponding increase in share-based payment reserves. The amount recognized as expense is adjusted to reflect the number of share options that actually vest. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded in share capital and the related share-based payment reserves is transferred to share capital.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the deemed proceeds received from the exercise of share options, share purchase warrants and their equivalents would be used to repurchase common shares of the Company at the average market price during the year.
Existing share options and share purchase warrants have not been included in the computation of diluted loss per share as to do so would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per share is the same.
Shares held in escrow, other than where their release is subject to the passage of time, are not included in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Share capital
Proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants are recorded as share capital in the amount for which the option or warrant enabled the holder to purchase a share in the Company. Share capital issued for non-monetary consideration is valued at the closing market price at the date of issuance. The proceeds from the issuance of units are allocated between common shares and warrants based on the residual value method. Under this method, the proceeds are allocated first to share capital based on the fair value of the common shares at the time the units are priced and any residual value is allocated to the warrants reserve. Consideration received for the exercise of options or warrants is recorded in share capital and the related residual value is transferred to share capital. For those options and warrants that expire, the recorded value is transferred to deficit.
New accounting standards recently adopted
IFRS 16 Leases
This new standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both the lessee and the lessor. The new standard introduces a single lessee accounting model that requires the recognition of all assets and liabilities arising from a lease.
15
ALCHEMIST MINING INC. Notes to the Financial Statements Years Ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
New accounting standards recently adopted (continued)
The main features of the new standard are as follows:
-
An entity identifies as a lease a contract that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
-
A lessee recognizes an asset representing the right to use the leased asset, and a liability for its obligation to make lease payments. Exceptions are permitted for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.
-
A lease asset is initially measured at cost, and is then depreciated similarly to property, plant and equipment. A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments.
-
A lessee presents interest expense on a lease liability separately from depreciation of a lease asset in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income .
-
A lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for them accordingly.
-
A lessor provides enhanced disclosures about its risk exposure, particularly exposure to residual-value risk.
The new standard supersedes the requirements in IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.
Applicable to the Company’s annual period beginning May 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material measurement or disclosure impact on the Company’s financial statements.
5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial instruments are agreements between two parties that result in promises to pay or receive cash or equity instruments. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair values due to their short term to maturity.
Fair value measurements of financial instruments are required to be classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
-
Level 3: Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.
The Company’s financial instruments classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy are cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Their carrying values approximate the fair values due to short-term maturity of these instruments.
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
-
Credit risk;
-
Liquidity risk; and
-
Market risk.

5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company manages credit risk, in respect of cash, by placing cash at major Canadian financial institutions. The Company has minimal credit risk.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquid funds to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. The contractual financial liabilities of the Company as of April 30, 2020 equal $566,339 (2019 - $141,979). All of the liabilities presented as accounts payable are due within 90 days of April 30, 2020. The Company is seeking additional sources of capital through financing.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return on capital.
As at April 30, 2020, the Company is not exposed to significant market risk.

13. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment, development of technology, and all of its operations and assets are in Canada.
14. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company considers its capital to be comprised of shareholders’ equity.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares. Although the Company has been successful at raising funds in the past through the issuance of share capital, it is uncertain whether it will continue this method of financing due to the current difficult market conditions.
In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions.
Management reviews the capital structure on a regular basis to ensure that the above objectives are met. There have been no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended April 30, 2020. The Company is not subject to external restrictions on its capital.
