3
registered office is located at 210, 2020-4 Street SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2S 1W3.
In the event that the Corporation is successful in raising funds from at least 150 individual Subscribers pursuant to this Offering Memorandum, with each such Subscriber purchasing 500 Shares under this Offering, the Corporation intends to make the Public Company Election with CRA using form T2073.
Upon the Corporation making the Public Company Election, the Corporation's Securities, which includes all classes of shares and debt-based securities of the Corporation, will be qualified investments for Registered Savings Plans. See Item 6 Income Tax Consequences and Registered Savings Plan Eligibility.
2.2 Our Business
The Corporation is in a start-up phase of development and has not carried out business prior to this Offering and has no development history. Since the date of incorporation, the Corporation has been engaged in the preparation for this Offering Memorandum, which has included, among other things, putting in place a management team, a board of directors, and retaining legal counsel.
Concurrent with this Offering, the management team intends to pursue a Business Opportunity that will utilize the Corporation's status as a Public Corporation. The management team intends to pursue an opportunity to purchase assets or shares of a company that is seeking a listing on a public stock exchange ("Go Public Transaction", as defined below). If management is successful and upon the closing of the Go Public Transaction by the Corporation, the Subscriber agrees to exchange 100 Class B Shares purchased under this Subscription Agreement for 1,000 Class A Common Voting Shares of the Corporation (the “Share Exchange”).
Go Public Transaction means (i) the listing of any securities of the Corporation on a stock exchange in North America; (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation for securities that are listed and posted for trading on a stock exchange in North America; or (iii) any transaction of a similar nature.
This Offering is a "blind pool" offering in that the management team of the Corporation has not yet finalized the new Business Opportunity.
The Corporation plans on paying dividends of at least $600 to the Class B shareholders as soon as cash flow allows unless management is successful in its efforts to secure a Go Public Transaction; if this occurs, the Corporation may redeem the remaining Class B Shares at some point after the Share Exchange.
2.3 Development of Business
The Corporation intends to close on the Minimum Offering amount and thereafter proceed to make the Public Company Election. Finalization of the Business Opportunity will occur once the Public Company Election has been filed with CRA.
2.4 Long Term Objectives
The Corporation's long-term objectives will consist of finalizing the Business Opportunity with the objective of making a profit therein.

(1) All costs to complete this Offering, estimated at $6,000, will be paid for directly by the shareholders or other sources of capital that the company may obtain.
2.6 Insufficient Funds and Cash Reserves
The funds raised pursuant to this Offering Memorandum will be sufficient to meet all of the Corporation's proposed short-term objectives. The management team may ultimately require additional financing to finalize the Business Opportunity and there is no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Corporation.

5.2 Subscription Procedure
a) Subscription Documents
Subscribers will be required to enter into a Subscription Agreement with the Corporation which will contain, among other things, representations, warranties and covenants by the Subscriber that it is duly authorized to purchase the Shares, that it is purchasing the Shares as principal and for investment and not with a view to resale and as to its corporate or other status to purchase the Shares and that the Corporation is relying on an exemption from the requirements to provide the Subscriber with a prospectus and, as a consequence of acquiring the securities pursuant to this exemption, certain protections, rights and remedies provided by applicable securities laws, including statutory rights of rescission or damages, will not be available to the Subscriber.
8
Reference is made to the Subscription Agreement attached as Schedule A to this Offering Memorandum for the terms of these representations, warranties and covenants.
In order to subscribe for the Class B Shares, a Subscriber must complete and execute (if received in electronic format) or complete, execute, and deliver the following documentation to the Corporation at 4905-36 Avenue, Building B Delta, BC, V4K 3N2;
-

b) Distribution
This Offering is subject to the exemptions from the prospectus requirements afforded by Section 2.9 of NI 45-106.
The exemption pursuant to Section 2.9 of NI 45-106 is available for distributions to investors purchasing as principals, who receive this Offering Memorandum prior to signing the Subscription Agreement and who sign Risk Acknowledgment Forms attached to the Subscription Agreement as Exhibit A and Exhibit B.

The exemptions from the registration requirements contained in the applicable securities laws of each of Provinces and Territories allow the Corporation to offer the Shares for sale directly to Subscribers.

ITEM 6 - INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES AND REGISTERED SAVINGS PLAN ELIGIBILITY
You should consult your own professional advisers to obtain advice on the income tax consequences that apply to you.
The following summary sets out the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations for holders of Shares resident in Canada. The income tax considerations will not be the same for all Subscriber of Shares but will vary depending on a number of factors, including the province in which the Subscriber resides or carries on business, whether the Shares acquired by the Subscriber will be characterized as capital property, whether the Subscriber is an individual, trust or partnership, the nature and amount of the Subscriber's income from other sources and whether the Subscriber holds the Shares in a Registered Savings Plan.
The following discussion of the income tax considerations of an investment in Shares is of a general nature only and is not intended to constitute an exhaustive analysis of such income tax considerations and should not be interpreted as legal or tax advice to any particular Subscriber. Each prospective Subscriber should obtain independent tax advice as to both the federal and provincial income tax consequences of a subscription for Class B Shares.
This summary is based upon the current understanding of the provisions of the Tax Act and outlines the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in Shares and is based on the following assumptions:
-
(1) the Subscriber is an individual resident in Canada;
-
(2) the Subscriber acquires Shares pursuant to the Offering Memorandum and holds the Shares as capital property for the purpose of earning a return on the investment; and
-
(3) the Subscriber deals at arm's length with the Corporation for purposes of the Tax Act.
The Tax Act and Regulations provide that a Canadian corporation may make an election to become a "public corporation" (as defined by the Tax Act) in circumstances where that corporation has no less than 150 shareholders of "equity shares" (as defined under the Tax Act), of a class that has been qualified for distribution to the public. None of the 150 shareholders may be "insiders" of the Corporation, each shareholder of the corporation must hold at least 100 shares of the corporation having an aggregate fair market value of not less than $500 and insiders of the corporation may not hold more than 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of that class.
If the above conditions have been met, the Corporation plans to elect to be deemed a "public corporation" for purposes of the Tax Act elect by filing form T2073 with CRA, including provisions governing qualified investments for Registered Savings Plans.
Upon the Corporation making the aforementioned election, the Corporation's Securities will become eligible to be held in Registered Savings Plans pursuant to the Tax Act and Regulations.
The Shares will not be qualified investments for a Registered Savings Plan prior to the Corporation making the Public Company Election. However, as long as the Corporation meets the conditions in Regulation 4800 as above and files form T2073 to elect to be a "public corporation", and it further so elects in its return of income on or before the filing-due date for its first taxation year, the Corporation will be deemed to have been a public corporation form the beginning of that taxation year and consequently its shares will be qualified investments for Registered Savings Plans from that time on.
10
ITEM 7 - COMPENSATION PAID TO SELLERS AND FINDERS
Where allowed by applicable securities legislation, the Corporation may retain any one of, or a combination of, the following parties: unrelated investment dealers, unrelated Exempt Market Dealers and/or their dealing representatives, parties related to the Corporation, employees and/or contractors of such parties, and the officers and directors of the Corporation to assist in the sale of the securities of the Corporation. When parties other than the officers and directors are retained, cash commissions of 5% may be paid from the proceeds of this Offering. It is the plan of the Corporation to have the officers and directors directly sell the Shares offered in this Offering Memorandum; however, if the Maximum Offering were all sold by parties to which a commission applied, the total commission would be $5,000.
ITEM 8 - RISK FACTORS
Purchase of Shares pursuant to this Offering should only be made after consulting with independent and qualified sources of investment and tax advice. An investment in the Shares at this time is highly speculative due to the stage of the Corporation's development and requirement to raise financing to carry out any longterm business plan of the Corporation.
An investment in Shares is appropriate only for investors who are prepared to invest money for a long period of time and who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment.
Subscribers must rely on the ability, expertise, judgement, discretion, integrity and good faith of the management of the Corporation. This Offering is suitable for investors who are willing to rely solely upon the management of the Corporation and who could afford a total loss of their investment.
In addition to the risks of purchasing the Shares in the Corporation found elsewhere within this Offering Memorandum are the following:
Investment Risk
-
Subscribers under this Offering will not have the benefit of a review of this Offering Memorandum by any regulatory authorities.
-
The Corporation's long-term objectives may not be achieved by the management team.
-
There is no assurance or guarantee that Subscribers pursuant to this Offering will earn a return on their investment.
-
The Corporation will have a limited amount of working capital.
-
There can be no assurance that any additional funding, if needed, will be available on terms attractive to the Corporation, or at all.
-
An investment in the Shares is an illiquid investment. There is currently no market through which the Shares may be sold. The Corporation is not a "reporting issuer" in any jurisdiction, and a prospectus has not qualified the issuance of the Shares. Accordingly, Subscribers will be unable to sell the Shares, subject to some limited exceptions. See Item 10 - Resale Restrictions.
-
The Shares offered pursuant to this Offering are not insured against loss through the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other insurance company or program.
-
The offering price of the Shares has been determined by the Corporation. The offering price is not an
11
indication of the value of the Shares or that any of the Shares could be sold for an amount equal to the offering price or for any amount.
-
Subject to the ABCA, holders of Shares will have no right to vote on any matters affecting the Corporation, other than with respect to those matters specified by the ABCA. Exclusive authority and responsibility for controlling and managing the Corporation rests with management of the Corporation and those persons, consultants and advisors retained by management on behalf of the Corporation. Accordingly, investors should appreciate that they will be relying on the good faith, experience, expertise and ability of director and officer of the Corporation and other parties for the success of the business of the Corporation.
-
The Corporation's future business objectives are expected to be financed in all or part by the issuance of additional securities by the Corporation and this may result in dilution to a Subscriber, which dilution may be significant.
-
The Corporation was only recently incorporated, has not commenced commercial operations and has no significant assets. It has no history of earnings.
-
The Subscribers to the Shares of the Corporation will not be entitled to notice of or to vote for or against the selection of new management of the Corporation.
-
This Offering is a "blind pool" offering in that management team of the Corporation has not yet finalized the long-term business of the Corporation.
Issuer Risk
The Corporation has no operational history and no history of earnings. Accordingly, there is a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of the Corporation and its business and prospects. The Corporation is in the early stages of its business and therefore is subject to the risks associated with early stage companies, including start-up losses, uncertainty of revenues, markets and profitability, the need to raise additional funding, the evolving and unpredictable nature of the Corporation's business and the ability to identify, attract and retain qualified personnel. The Corporation's business prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stage of development. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be successful in doing what it is required to do to overcome these risks. No assurance can be given that the Corporation's business activities will be successful.
ITEM 9 - REPORTING OBLIGATIONS AND SUBSEQUENT INFORMATION
As at the date of this Offering Memorandum, the Company is not a “reporting Issuer” as such term is defined in applicable securities legislation and accordingly is not subject to most of the continuous disclosure reporting obligations imposed on reporting Issuers by such securities legislation. However, the Corporation is required to make the audited annual financial statements of the Corporation reasonably available to the Class B Shareholders, as well as any other information that may be required by the continuous disclosure reporting obligations from time to time for each jurisdiction.

Rice & Company LLP Chartered Professional Accountants Suite 1422, 510 5th St SW Calgary, AB T2P 3S2 T (403) 457-1100
Independent Auditors' Report
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of BNSELLIT TECHNOLOGY INC. (the "Company").
Opinion
We have audited financial statements of BNSELLIT TECHNOLOGY INC. (the “Company”), which comprise the statement of financial position as at February 5, 2021, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the period ended February 5, 2021, 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 February 5, 2021, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year ended February 5, 2021 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
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.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 8.1 of the financial statements which outlines the offering that BNSELLIT TECHNOLOGY INC. is undertaking subsequent to period end which, if unsuccessful, could have a material effect on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
19
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.
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 Responsibility 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.
20
-
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 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.

2. Basis of presentation
- 2.1 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”).
The financial statements were authorized for issue by the Directors of the Company on February 22, 2021.
2.2 Basis of measurement
These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for items where an alternative basis is required by IFRS. Details on these items are included below in Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies.
- 2.3 Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
2.4 Use of estimates and judgements

26
BNSELLIT TECHNOLOGY INC.
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the period from incorporation on February 4, 2021 to February 5, 2021
- Significant accounting policies
As a new entity, the Company has adopted all IFRS issued and effective as of February 4, 2021. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.
- 3.1 Significant accounting policies
Cash comprises of cash on hand.
- 3.2 Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
3.2.1 Financial assets
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following three categories:
-
Assets carried at amortized cost (“Amortized Cost”)
-
Assets carried at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”)
-
Assets carried at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”)
The classification depends on both the Company's business model for managing the financial instrument and the contractual terms of the instrument itself.
A financial asset is classified as Amortized Cost if the objective of the business model is to hold the financial asset for the collection of the cash flows, and all contractual cash flows represent only principal and interest on that principal.
A financial asset is classified as FVOCI if the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and the contractual terms of the financial asset gives rise to cash flows on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
All financial assets that do not meet the criteria to be classified as Amortized Cost or FVOCI are classified as FVTPL, this includes all derivative financial assets. The Company may make an irrevocable election to designate a financial asset that would otherwise be classified in another category as FVTPL. If the election is made it is irrevocable, meaning that asset must remain categorized as FVTPL until that asset is derecognized.
27
BNSELLIT TECHNOLOGY INC. Notes to the Financial Statements For the period from incorporation on February 4, 2021 to February 5, 2021
Recognition and derecognition
Purchases and sale of financial assets are recognized on the settlement date, which is the date in which the asset is delivered to or by the Company. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or are transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
Measurement
Financial assets carried at Amortized Cost or FVOCI are initially measured at their fair value plus transaction costs. Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially measured at their value, with any associated transaction costs being immediately expensed through profit or loss.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on the category the asset has been assigned to.
Gains or losses on assets carried at Amortized Cost are recorded in profit or loss upon derecognition, or earlier if the asset is impaired.
Gains or losses on assets carried at FVOCI are recorded in other comprehensive income, except for impairment, interest, dividend and foreign exchange related gains and losses, which are recorded in profit or loss. Upon derecognition of an asset categorized as FVOCI, the net gains or losses related to the asset previously recorded in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
Gains or losses on assets carried at FVTPL are recorded in profit or loss in the period in which they occur.
Impairment
The Company addresses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset, other than those carried at FVTPL, or a group of financial assets, is impaired. When impairment has occurred, the carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly and the loss is recognized in profit and loss.
Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.
For financial assets carried at Amortized Cost, the amount of impairment loss recognized is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial assets' original effective interest rate. An
28
BNSELLIT TECHNOLOGY INC.
Notes to the Financial Statements For the period from incorporation on February 4, 2021 to February 5, 2021
impairment loss on financial assets carried at Amortized Cost can be reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized. In such cases, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount of the financial asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
When an asset carried at FVOCI is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive loss are reclassified to the profit or loss in the period. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.
3.2.2 Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost for liabilities that are not hedged, and fair value for liabilities that are hedged. Non-performance risk, including the Company’s own credit risk for financial liabilities, is considered when determining the fair value of financial liabilities.
Financial liabilities are removed from the statement of financial position when it is extinguished, for example, when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired or when the terms of an existing financial liability are substantially modified. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
3.2.3 Financial Instrument Classification summary
Based on the above policies, the Company has chosen to classify its financial instruments as follows:
| Financial Instrument | Measurement Category |
|---|---|
| Cash | Fair value |
3.3 Related party transactions
All related party transactions and balances must be disclosed in the financial statements. This includes descriptions and amounts of the transactions, the amount of any outstanding balances and associated terms, provisions for doubtful debts related to outstanding balances and the expense recognized during the period in respect of bad or doubtful debts from related parties.

-

3.5 Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions and contingent liabilities are recognized when there is a present legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and where a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions and contingent liabilities are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
4. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The estimates and assumptions are continuously assessed, considering historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. However, given the Company's current operations as of February 5, 2021, no critical estimates have been made.
5. Determination of fair values
Certain of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value for financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.
The significance of inputs used in making fair value measurements for assets and liabilities measured at fair value are examined and classified according to a fair value hierarchy:
30
BNSELLIT TECHNOLOGY INC. Notes to the Financial Statements
For the period from incorporation on February 4, 2021 to February 5, 2021
Level 1
Items that are classified at level 1 have their fair values determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2
Items that are classified at level 2 have their fair values determined using inputs other than quoted prices, for which all significant outputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, and are based on valuation models and techniques where the inputs are derived from quoted indices.
Level 3
Items that are classified at level 3 have their fair values determined using inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The designation of the Company's assets and liabilities which require the assessment of fair value are as follows:
-
Cash, Level 1
-
Financial risk management
-
6.1 Overview
The Company’s planned operations will expose it to a variety of financial risks that arise as a result of its operating and financing activities:
-
credit risk;
-
liquidity risk; and,
-
market risk.
This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risks, and the Company’s management of capital.
The Company employs risk management strategies and policies to ensure that any exposure to risk is in compliance with the Company’s business objectives and risk tolerance levels.

6.2 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at February 5, 2021 is as follows:
| Carrying value at February 5 | 2021 |
|---|---|
| Cash | $1 |
Cash consists of cash bank balances. The Company will manage the credit exposure related to cash by selecting financial institutions with high credit ratings. Given these credit ratings, management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.
6.3 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they are due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. The Company’s ongoing liquidity will be impacted by various external events and conditions.
The Company did not have any financial liabilities at February 5, 2021.
6.4 Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, will affect the Company’s net income or the value of financial instruments. The objective of the Company is to manage and mitigate market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. As the Company does not currently have any interest-bearing debt, the Company is not exposed to interest rate risk.
The Company had no interest rate swaps or financial contracts in place as at or during the period ended February 5, 2021.
6.5 Capital management
The Company’s capital management policy is to maintain a strong capital base that optimizes the Company’s ability to grow, maintain investor and creditor confidence and to provide a platform to create value for its unitholders. The Company intends to maintain a flexible capital structure to maximize its ability to pursue additional investment opportunities, which considers the

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may from time-to-time issue shares, seek debt financing and adjust its capital spending to manage its current and projected capital structure.
The Company currently has no debt outstanding and it monitors capital based on its current working capital, projected cash flow from operations and anticipated capital expenditures.
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
