INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the shareholders of Magna Mining (Canada) Corp. (formerly Magna Mining Corp.):

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Magna Mining (Canada) Corp. (formerly Magna Mining Corp.), and its subsidiary (together the "entity"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of changes in equity (deficiency) and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the entity as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated 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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the entity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audits of the consolidated 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 in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements, which describes the events and conditions indicating that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed with the relevant Canadian securities commissions.

Our opinion on the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit and remain alert for indications that the other information 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 in this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this regard.

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

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

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the entity’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 entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the entity’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 entity’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 entity’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 consolidated 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 entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated 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 entity to express an opinion on the consolidated 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 John C. Sinclair.

Magna Mining (Canada) Corp. (formerly Magna Mining Corp.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (expressed in Canadian dollars) Year Ended December 31, 2020

1. Reporting entity

Magna Mining (Canada) Corp. (formerly Magna Mining Corp.) ("Magna" or the "Company") was incorporated on December 2, 2016 under the Ontario Business Corporations Act. Its principal business activity is the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties, with a primary focus on base-metal properties in Canada.

On May 4, 2021, the Company completed a reverse takeover of CT Developers Ltd. and thereafter began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (note 22).

The Company's registered office is located at 45 Oak Street, Dowling, ON P0M 1R0. The principal place of business is 1300 Kelly Lake Road, Sudbury, ON P3E 5P4.

Going concern

The nature of the Company’s operations results in significant expenditures for the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The eventual generation of revenue is dependent upon a number of factors including the existence of recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain financing to maintain the properties in good standing and to continue exploration and development and the discovery of economically recoverable reserves. To date, the Company has not generated any revenue from mining or other operations, and it is considered to be in the exploration stage.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern, which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of business. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company reported a net loss of $1,091,074 (2019 - $814,005), and as at that date had working capital of $1,176,454 (2019 working capital deficit of - $511,265) and an accumulated deficit of $4,270,725 (2019 - $3,179,651)

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional funding from loans or equity financings provided by the Company’s existing shareholders and/or new shareholders or through other arrangements. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in this regard. These events and conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and statement of financial position classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption deemed to be inappropriate. These adjustments could be material.

1. Reporting entity (continued)

COVID - 19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The potential economic effects within the Company's environment and markets, possible disruption in supply chains, and measures being introduced at various levels of government to curtail the spread of the virus (such as travel restrictions, closures of non-essential municipal and private operations, imposition of quarantines and social distancing) could have a material impact on the Company's operations and the ability to finance its operations. The extent of the impact of this outbreak and related containment measures on the Company's operations cannot be reliably estimated at this time. Additionally, it is possible that estimates in the Company’s consolidated financial statements will change in the near term as a result of COVID-19. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business.

2. Basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (''IFRS'') and its interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (''IASB'').

The Board of Directors authorized these consolidated financial statements for issuance on May 25, 2021.

(b) Basis of consolidation

These financial statements include the accounts of Magna Mining Corp. and its 100% owned subsidiary Ursa Major Minerals Inc.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

A subsidiary is an entity which Magna controls. The Company has control over an entity when it is exposed to or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

A subsidiary is consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Company and is deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

(c) Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis, except for cash flow information.

Magna Mining (Canada) Corp. (formerly Magna Mining Corp.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (expressed in Canadian dollars) Year Ended December 31, 2020

2. Basis of preparation (continued)

(d) Functional and presentation currency

In concluding the functional currencies of the parent and subsidiary, management considered the currency that mainly influences the cost of providing goods and services in each jurisdiction in which the Company operates. The Company also considered secondary indicators including the currency in which funds from financing activities are denominated and the currency in which funds are retained.

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of Magna Mining (Canada) Corp. (formerly Magna Mining Corp.), and its subsidiary .

(e) Significant estimates and critical judgments

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of judgment and estimates that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. These judgments and estimates are based on management’s knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances, having regard to previous experience, but actual results may differ materially from the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements. Information about such judgments and estimation is contained in the accounting policies and notes to the consolidated financial statements, and the key areas are summarized below.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the review affects both current and future periods. The most significant estimates as at December 31, 2020 relate to the asset retirement obligation and fair valuation of options and warrants granted.

Critical accounting judgments

In the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgments, aside from those that involve estimates, in the process of applying accounting policies. The judgments which may have an effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements include the following:

  • The assessment of the going concern assumption;

  • The recognition of deferred tax assets

Magna Mining (Canada) Corp. (formerly Magna Mining Corp.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (expressed in Canadian dollars) Year Ended December 31, 2020

3. Significant accounting policies

Foreign currency translation

Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the year-end date. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss.

Cash

Cash consists of cash on deposit with banks and is subject to insignificant risk of changes in fair value.

Equipment

Recognition and measurement

Items of equipment are initially measured at cost. Items of equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Equipment is classified by significant components, which are individually amortized over the useful life of the component.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. When parts of an item of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of equipment.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided at the following rates:

Computer equipment 30% declining balance
Motor vehicles 3 years straight-line
Equipment 3 years straight-line
Fencing 20 years straight-line

Depreciation is calculated on the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.

Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of equipment, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Magna Mining (Canada) Corp. (formerly Magna Mining Corp.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (expressed in Canadian dollars) Year Ended December 31, 2020

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Equipment (continued)

Equipment is tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If an indicator is identified, the asset’s recoverable amount is calculated and compared to the carrying amount. For the purpose of measuring recoverable amounts, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units or “CGUs”). The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use (being the present value of the expected future cash flows of the relevant asset or CGU). An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

The Company evaluates impairment losses for potential reversals when events or circumstances warrant such consideration. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Mineral properties and exploration and development expenditures

Acquisition costs for exploration and evaluation assets and exploration expenditures, net of recoveries, are charged to profit or loss as incurred. Acquisition costs may include cash consideration, the fair value of common shares issued, and the fair value of share purchase warrants and options issued based on amounts determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, for mineral property interests pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

After a property is determined by management to be technically feasible and commercially viable (Bankable Feasibility Study), development expenditures on the property are capitalized.

The costs related to a property from which there is production, together with the costs of production equipment, will be depleted and amortized using the unit-of-production method.

Exploration and evaluation assets acquired under an option agreement where payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company are charged to profit or loss at the time of payment. Property interests granted under an option agreement where payments to be made to the Company are at the sole discretion of the optionee, are recorded as recoveries at the time of receipt. Where recoveries exceed costs, such amounts are recognized in profit or loss.

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized depending on whether the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a Feasibility Study or the Company’s commitment to a plan of action based on the then known facts.

Magna Mining (Canada) Corp. (formerly Magna Mining Corp.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (expressed in Canadian dollars) Year Ended December 31, 2020

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Asset retirement obligation

An obligation to incur restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs arises when environmental disturbance is caused by the exploration, development or ongoing production of a mineral interest by or on behalf of the Company. Costs for restoration of site damage incurred on an ongoing basis during exploration and evaluation are provided for at their net present values and charged to profit or loss in the period such exploration and evaluation occurs. Net present value is calculated using the pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The liability is adjusted each period for the unwinding of the discount and for changes to the current market-based discount rate, amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation.

Impairment of mineral properties

When mineral properties have been capitalized, they are assessed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Assessment of impairment indicators involves the application of a number of significant judgments over internal and external factors including reserve and resource estimation, future precious metal prices, estimated costs of future production, changes in government legislation and regulations, estimated deferred taxes and the availability of financing and various other operational factors. If any such indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount is undertaken. If the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

Title to mineral properties

Although the Company takes steps to verify title to exploration and evaluation assets in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity in which case, the income tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current tax

The current income tax expense or recovery is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date. Management establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Magna Mining (Canada) Corp. (formerly Magna Mining Corp.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (expressed in Canadian dollars) Year Ended December 31, 2020

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Income taxes (continued)

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

Share capital

Common shares, stock options and warrants issued by the Company are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares, share purchase warrants and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax effects.

Resource expenditure deductions for income tax purposes may be renounced to investors in accordance with income tax legislation for flow-through share arrangements. On issuance of flowthrough common shares, the Company bifurcates the flow-through share proceeds into: (i) share capital, for the fair value of common shares without a flow-through feature (based on the most recent selling price), and (ii) a flow-through share premium liability, for the amount investors pay for the flow-through feature (in excess of the most recent selling price of the common shares). As resource expenditures are incurred, the Company derecognizes the liability and recognizes other income.

Proceeds from the issuance of flow-through shares are restricted, to be used only for Canadian resource expenditures, and must be incurred within a two-year period before a 10% penalty tax applies on any unspent amount that has been renounced.

Options, warrants, contributed surplus and stock-based compensation

The estimation of the fair value of options and warrants at the date of grant requires the selection of an appropriate valuation model and consideration as to the inputs necessary for the valuation model chosen. The fair value of each option or warrant is calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company has made estimates as to the volatility, the expected life of options or warrants, the expected dividend rate, the risk-free interest rate for the life of the option or warrant, and where applicable, expected forfeiture rates. The expected life of the option or warrant is based on the contractual life and historical data. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of comparable companies, over the period of the expected life of the stock option or warrant. These estimates may not necessarily be indicative of future actual patterns.

Employees (including directors and senior executives) of the Company may receive a portion of their remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (“equity-settled transactions”). The value of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date on which they are granted. The Company is also required to estimate the expected future forfeiture rate of options in its calculation of share-based payments.

In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees for goods or services, the transaction is measured at the fair value of the goods or services received by the Company. When the value of the goods or services cannot be reliably estimated, they are measured at the fair value of the share-based payment.

The costs of equity-settled transactions are recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant option holder become fully entitled to the award (“vesting date”). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The profit or loss charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and the corresponding amount is recorded in contributed surplus.

No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market condition is satisfied provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

Where the terms of an equity-settled transaction are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified. An additional amount is recognized on the same basis as the amount of the original award for any modification which increases the total fair value of the equity-settled transactions or is otherwise beneficial to the option holder as measured at the date of modification.

Contributed surplus consists of stock-based compensation expense relating to options vesting, net of exercises and forfeitures. In addition, all cancellations and forfeitures related to warrants are transferred from warrants reserve to contributed surplus.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted loss per share assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on loss per share. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants and their equivalents is reflected in diluted loss per share by the treasury stock method. In a loss period, potentially dilutive stock options and warrants are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect is anti-dilutive.

Financial instruments

The following table summarizes the classification and measurement of the Company's financial

instruments:

Criteria for classification

The Company classifies financial instruments at amortized cost, FVOCI or FVTPL . The classification is driven by the following criteria:

Classification Criteria Criteria
Receivables
Amortized cost Held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in
order to collect contractual cash flows; and
Contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates
to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on
the principal amount outstanding.

Measurement

After classification as amortized cost, FVTPL or FVOCI, the Company uses the following policy for initial measurement and subsequent measurement at each reporting period.

Classification Initial Subsequent Changes in value
measurement measurement
Financial assets Fair value less Amortized cost using the Reported in profit or loss
measured at expected credit effective interest method when realized or impaired.
amortized cost loss
Financial liabilities Fair value Amortized cost using the Reported in profit or loss when
measured at effective interest method. liability is extinguished.
amortized cost

Impairment of financial asset s

The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss associated with its financial assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset at the reporting date with the risk of default at the date of initial recognition based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward-looking information. Evidence of increased credit risk may include indications that the counterparty debtor or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Receivables are reviewed qualitatively on a case-by-case basis to determine whether they need to be written off.

Expected credit losses are measured as the difference in the present value of the contractual cash flows that are due to the Company under the contract, and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive. The Company assesses all information available, including past due status, credit ratings, the existence of third-party insurance, and forward-looking macroeconomic factors in the measurement of the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortized cost. The Company measures expected credit loss by considering the risk of default over the contract period and incorporates forward-looking information into its measurement.

Revenue recognition

Revenue represents the amount the Company expects to receive for goods and services in its contracts with customers, net of discounts and sales taxes.

The Company recognizes consultancy revenue under IFRS 15 which provides a single, principles based five - step model for revenue recognition to be applied to all customer contracts and requires enhanced disclosures.

Consultancy revenue is recognized when there is a contract with the customer, a performance obligation exists, the transaction price has been determined and the price is allocated to the performance obligations in the contract. Revenue is recognized over time as the performance obligations are satisfied.

4. Recent accounting pronouncements

New standards and interpretations

IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements & IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

In October 2018, the IASB issued “Definition of Material”, an amendment to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, to clarify the definition of material and to align the definition used in the Conceptual Framework and the standards themselves. Materiality is defined as “information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.” This amendment is effective for the annual period beginning January 1, 2020. The Company has adopted IAS 1 and IAS 8 as of January 1, 2020, with no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

New standards not yet adopted

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current

In January 2020, the IASB issued Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (“Amendments to IAS 1”). The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non-current. The amendments include clarifying the classification requirements for debt a company might settle by converting it into equity. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with earlier application permitted.

Amendments to IAS 37: Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract

In May 2020, the IASB issued Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (“Amendments to IAS 37”) amending the standard regarding costs a company should include as the cost of fulfilling a contract when assessing whether a contract is onerous. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

The Company does not expect these new standards not yet adopted to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the period of initial application.

Subsequent to year end, the terms of the warrants were modified (note 22).

21. Financial instruments

Fair value

The Company’s financial instruments comprise cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, due to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and term loan.

Financial instruments recognized at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position are classified in fair value hierarchy levels as follows:

  • Level 1: Valuation based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • Level 2: Valuation techniques based on inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices)

  • Level 3: Valuation techniques with unobservable market inputs (involves assumptions and estimates by management).

Fair value

The carrying values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities do not materially differ from their fair values given their short-term period to maturity.

Non-current financial instruments include restricted cash and term loan. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value based on the related interest rate and term of the instruments.

Financial risk factors

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including foreign exchange risk, credit risk and interest rate risk.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due.

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of economic loss arising from a counterparty’s failure to repay or service debt according to the contractual terms. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash, accounts receivable and restricted cash. The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets recorded in the consolidated financial statements represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company manages credit risk by placing cash with major Canadian financial institutions. Accounts receivable includes receivables from customers and related parties who have no history of default and management believes the credit risk is low.

21. Financial instruments (continued)

Foreign exchange risk

The Company operates in Canada and therefore, currently, has limited exposure to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Other than Canadian dollar balances, the Company holds balances in cash and has royalties payable that are denominated in US$ as outlined below. Accordingly, the Company is subject to foreign exchange risk relating to such balances in connection with fluctuations against the Canadian dollar. The Company has no program in place for hedging foreign currency risk.

The Company held the following foreign currency denominated balances as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Cash (US $)
Due to related parties (US$)
Accrued liabilities (US $)
Total (US $)

Based on the balances held as at December 31, 2020, a 10% decrease in the US dollar exchange rate would have resulted in a increase in the net loss for the year then ended of approximately $44,000 (2019 - $64,500) .

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that cash flows will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s financial assets are generally not exposed to significant interest rate risk because of their short-term nature. The Company's restricted cash is interest bearing, however, the Company has assessed that changes in interest rates will not have a material impact on interest income realized on such assets.

The Company did not have any interest-bearing liabilities outstanding as at December 31, 2020.
