In connection with the Concurrent Financing, the Company paid finder's fees in the amount of $249,150, which represents a 7% cash fee on certain of the gross proceeds raised from subscriptions introduced by arm's length parties.

On June 28, 2021, the Company announced the addition of two strategic advisors: Joost Jager, a Lightning Infrastructure Engineer with a M.Sc. in CS and specialization in artificial intelligence; and Roy Sheinfeld, co-founder and CEO of Breez Technology Inc., a privately held company that combines an LSP, point-of-sale app for merchants, and non-custodial end-user app.

On July 27, 2021, the Company announced that it filed a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus. The base shelf prospectus (the “Shelf Prospectus”) has not yet become final for the purpose of the sale of any Securities (as defined herein). When final, the Shelf Prospectus will allow LQwD to offer and issue up to $50 million of common shares, warrants, subscription receipts, units, debt securities, or any combination of such securities (collectively, the “Securities”) during the 25-month period that the Shelf Prospectus is effective. The Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale, which will be set forth in a prospectus supplement to be filed.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support future business opportunities. The Company defines its capital as shareholders’ equity, loans and advances payable. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

COMPETITION

Competitors for acquisition opportunities include well-capitalized companies, independent companies and other companies having financial and other resources far greater than those of LQwD, thus a degree of competition exists between those engaged in acquiring attractive assets.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Management is required to make decisions with respect to estimates and assumptions for certain accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These accounting policies are discussed below and are included to highlight the critical accounting policies and practices used by the Company. Note the use of different policies and practices could create different results being reported. The Company's management reviews these estimates regularly. New information and changes in circumstance may result in changes to estimated amounts that differ materially from current estimates.

The following assessment of significant accounting policies and associated estimates is not meant to be exhaustive. In the future, the Company might realize different results from the application of new accounting standards issued by regulatory bodies.

To recognize the share-based payment expense, the Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using assumptions related to interest rates, expected life of the option, volatility of the underlying security and expected dividend yields. These assumptions may vary over time.

The accrual method of accounting requires management to incorporate certain estimates of costs as at a specific reporting date.

PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS

The Company has no proposed transactions that have not been disclosed.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISK

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to the following risks:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if counterparties do not fulfill their contractual obligations.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash bank balances and short-term deposits. The Company’s short-term investments are held with a Canadian chartered bank and are monitored to ensure a stable return. The Company’s short-term investments currently consist of term deposits as it is not the Company’s policy to utilize complex, higherrisk investment vehicles.

The carrying amount of accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents represents the maximum credit exposure. The Company does not have an allowance for doubtful accounts. As of May 31, 2021, there were no significant amounts past due or impaired.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Company’s cash flows, net income and comprehensive income. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its purchases and capital commitments, and other financial obligations as they are due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, to the extent possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the Company’s reputation.

The Company’s liquidity is dependent upon maintaining its current working capital balances, operating cash flows and ability to raise funds. To forecast and monitor liquidity, the Company prepares operating and capital expenditure budgets which are monitored and updated as considered necessary. Considering these circumstances and the Company’s cash balance liquidity risk is assessed as low.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash and cash equivalents. The majority of these deposits have been in discounted instruments with pre-determined fixed yields. Interest rate movements will affect the fair value of these instruments, so the Company manages maturity dates of these instruments to match cash flow needs, enabling realization at no loss in almost all cases.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities approximates the carrying amount. Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

  • Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value classification of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

May31,2021 February28,2021
Fair
Value Fair value through Fair value through
Level profit or loss profit or loss
$ $
Financial assets:
Cash and cash equivalents 1 461,111 1,836,827
461,111 1,836,827

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are classified as level 1. During the three month period ended May 31, 2021 and year ended February 28, 2021, there were no transfers between level 1, level 2, and level 3.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist of short-term investments; cheques issued in excess of funds on deposit, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Terms of the financial instruments, where relevant, are fully disclosed in the Company’s financial statements. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant currency, or credit risks but is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk arising from its financial instruments and that their fair values approximate their carrying values unless otherwise noted.

RISKS

The Company is a technology business and has adequate cash for its current obligations but may not have sufficient cash to sustain operations indefinitely. With limited financial resources and limited revenue, there is no assurance that future funding will be available to the Company to pursue future endeavours. There is a risk that the Company could be forced to cease operations and become insolvent.

There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to attract interest to participate in an acquisition or another business opportunity. The Company’s common shares are now trading on the TSX-V under the symbol “LQWD” and on the OTCQB market under the symbol “LQWDF”. There can be no assurance that the Company’s current activity and the liquid market for the Company's securities will develop and shareholders may find it difficult to resell the securities of the Company.

The factors identified above are not intended to represent a complete list of the risks faced by LQwD. LQwD’s management believes that the foregoing risks and uncertainties are a fair indication of the risks and uncertainties material to LQwD’s business; however, additional risks and uncertainties, including those currently unknown to LQwD or not considered to be material by LQwD, may also adversely affect the business of LQwD.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The foregoing information contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of securities laws. Forwardlooking statements are statements that are not historical fact and often, but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “estimates”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases, or states that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking information by its nature requires assumptions and involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of LQwD to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking information.

Forward-looking statements in this MD&A include, but are not limited to, LQwD’s overall strategic plan for assessing acquisition opportunities. In making the forward-looking statements in this MD&A, LQwD has applied certain factors and assumptions that are based on information currently available to LQwD as well as LQwD’s current beliefs and assumptions made by LQwD, including that LQwD will maintain its business plan for the near and mid-term range. Although LQwD considers these beliefs and assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect, and the forward-looking statements in this release are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause future results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Such risk factors include, among others, that LQwD will be unable to fulfill or will experience delays in fulfilling a strategic plan for the near and mid-term range. Additional risk factors are noted under the heading “Risks”. The factors identified above and in the “Risks” section of this MD&A are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect LQwD. Although LQwD has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.

Because forward-looking information addresses future events and conditions, it involves risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking information. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to access to capital, commodity price volatility, well performance and marketability of production, transportation and refining availability and costs.

There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. LQwD does not undertake to update any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
