METASPHERE LABS INC. (FORMERLY LOOKING GLASS LABS LTD.)

Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended July 31, 2024 and 2023 Expressed in Canadian Dollars

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Shareholders of:

METASPHERE LABS INC.

(Formerly Looking Glass Labs Ltd.)

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Metasphere Labs Inc. (formerly Looking Glass Labs Ltd.) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at July 31, 2024, and 2023 and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at July 31, 2024, and 2023 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended 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 Consolidated 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 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 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 indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of $14,345 during the year ended July 31, 2024, and as of that date, had accumulated losses since inception of $25,226,127. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, 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.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers and Deferred Revenue from NFT Sales Key Audit Matter Description

The total revenues of the Company for the year ended July 31, 2024, amount to $2,195,913. The Company recognizes revenue from service contracts with customers and deferred revenue recognized from sales of Non-Fungible Tokens (“NFT’s”) and related royalties in accordance with IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" as disclosed in Material Accounting Policies Note 2. This standard introduces a principles-based framework for recognizing revenue based on the transfer of control of promised goods or services. We considered this to be a key audit matter due to materiality and the judgments and estimates made by management in determining the timing of deferred revenue recognition.

Further disclosure regarding the Company’s revenue and deferred revenue is described in Notes 2 and 17 to the consolidated financial statements.

Audit Response

We responded to this matter by conducting a detailed assessment of the Company’s revenue recognition process. Our audit work in relation to this included, but was not restricted to, the following:

  • Understanding of Contracts and Revenue Streams: We obtained an understanding of the Company's contracts with customers, including the Terms of Service Agreement, the Company’s smart contract deployed on the blockchain related to prior year’s NFT sales, and performed analysis to identify all revenue streams to determine timing of revenue recognition.

  • Evaluation of Performance Obligations: We evaluated management's identification and separation of performance obligations in contracts, ensuring that obligations are appropriately accounted for.

  • We performed testing of revenue recognized per revenue stream and obtained evidence of the respective performance obligation being fulfilled.

  • Allocation of Transaction Price: We assessed the allocation of transaction price to performance obligations, including variable consideration and constraint assessment.

  • Our testing included agreeing amounts to customer contracts, invoices and cash receipts, and verifying the timing of revenue recognition.

  • We performed analytical review of deferred revenue recognized based on evidence obtained of performance obligations being fulfilled.

  • Review of Disclosures: We scrutinized the completeness and accuracy of revenue-related disclosures, ensuring they meet the requirements of IFRS 15.

Evaluation of Indicators of Impairment of Intangible Assets

Key Audit Matter Description

The carrying value of intangible assets of the Company was $Nil as of July 31, 2024. The carrying value of intangible assets is tested annually for impairment and is material to the financial position of the Company. The carrying value of intangible assets are considered a key audit matter due to the significance of the carrying values and management judgment involved in assessing the recoverable value during impairment testing under IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. As such, a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate audit evidence relating to the judgments made by management in their assessment of indicators of impairment was required.

Further disclosure regarding the Company’s intangible assets is described in Notes 2 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

Audit Response

We responded to this matter by assessing whether the Company should recognize any impairment to intangible assets, evaluating key assumptions in management’s models and methodologies applied. Our audit work in relation to this included, but was not restricted to, the following:

  • Obtained understanding of the accounting policy in respect of impairment assessment of intangible assets and cash flow projections and assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model and reading the report of management’s expert.

  • Assessed for presence of impairment indicators.

  • Confirmed the methodologies in models used were consistent with accepted valuation approaches.

  • Evaluated and challenged management’s key underlying assumptions and projections.

  • Reperformed calculations within the valuation models and evaluated the resulting estimates.

  • Scrutinized the appropriateness, accuracy and completeness of the disclosures ensuring that users of the consolidated financial statements are provided with reliable information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and will 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 identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained Management's Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. 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 Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, 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 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 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 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 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

4

  • 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 Company 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 Mike Kao.

METASPHERE LABS INC. (FORMERLY LOOKING GLASS LABS LTD.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended July 31, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. Nature and Continuance of Operations

Metasphere Labs Inc. (formerly Looking Glass Labs Ltd.) (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 19, 2015, under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada. On February 29, 2024, the Company changed its name from Looking Glass Labs Ltd. to Metasphere Labs Inc. The Company is focused on leveraging blockchain, metaverse, and AI technologies to drive innovation and sustainability. By doing so, the Company aims to push the boundaries of technology in the blockchain, metaverse, and AI spaces while promoting sustainability and user engagement. Further, the Company will continue to explore revenue generating activity with its developed Pocket Dimension Metaverse.

The head office, principal address, records office and registered address of the Company are located at 1890 – 1075 West Georgia Street, Vancouver BC, V6E 3C9.

Currently, based on its planned expenditures and expected cash flows, the Company will need to secure new sources of working capital to continue operations for the next twelve-month period. Management’s plan is to actively secure sources of funds, including possible equity and debt financing options, while at the same time focus on exercising careful cost control to sustain operations and, if necessary, the Company will curtail spending.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business in the foreseeable future. During the year ended July 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net comprehensive loss of $14,345 (2023 – $12,587,314), and had an accumulated deficit of $25,226,127 (2023 – $25,211,782) and a working capital deficiency of $336,224 as at July 31, 2024 (2023 – $2,448,345).

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and meet its corporate objectives may require additional financing through debt or equity issuances or other available means. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be available on terms advantageous to the Company. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue its existence.

2. Statement of Compliance and Material Accounting Policies

These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue on October 29, 2024 by the directors of the Company.

Statement of Compliance

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

The material accounting policies set out in Note 2 have been applied consistently to all periods presented.

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical cost, modified where applicable. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted, which is the Company’s functional currency.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled entities. Control occurs when the Company is exposed to, or has the right to, variable returns from its involvement with an investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Details of controlled entities are as follows:

Jurisdiction of Interest Interest Functional
Name Incorporation 2024 2023 Currency
Genzeroes Productions Inc. Canada 0% 100% Canadian Dollars
HOK Vietnam Company Limited Vietnam 0% 100% Vietnamese Dong
Web 3.0 Holdings Corp. (inactive) Canada 100% 100% Canadian Dollars
HOK Technologies Inc. Canada 100% 100% Canadian Dollars
HOK BVI TechnologiesInc. BritishVirgin Islands 100% 100% Canadian Dollars

All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statement presentation.

During the year ended July 31, 2023, the Company disposed of Genzeroes Productions Inc. (Note 4) and HOK Vietnam Company Limited.

Functional and Presentation Currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars. Each entity determines its own functional currency, and items included in the consolidated financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

Transactions and balances in foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective entity, using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary items at period-end exchange rates are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction and are not retranslated. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.

Foreign Operations

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars from their functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of loss and comprehensive loss are translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date transactions occurred. The exchange differences arising on the translation are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in earnings as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments and estimates in applying the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the following:

Going concern

The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to significant uncertainty involves significant judgment based on historical experience and other factors, including the expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Deferred tax assets

The ability of the Company to recognize deferred tax assets involves judgment of the probability that the Company will be able to generate taxable income in the future.

Digital assets

Digital assets are considered to be an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance. Management has determined that the digital assets are accounted for as intangible assets in accordance with IAS 38 Intangible Assets.

Digital currency valuation

Digital assets consist of cryptocurrency denominated assets (Note 5). Digital assets are carried at their fair market value determined by the spot rate from www.finance.yahoo.com. The digital currency market is still a new market and is highly volatile; historical prices are not necessarily indicative of future value; a significant change in the market prices for digital assets would have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings and financial position. In addition, management estimates that selling costs will be nominal. Digital currency prices are affected by various forces including global supply and demand, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation and global political and economic conditions. A decline in the market prices for digital assets could negatively impact the Company’s future operations. The Company has not hedged the conversion of any of its digital assets.

Stock-based compensation

The fair value of stock-based compensation requires estimates of assumptions that are used in the BlackScholes option pricing model. The Company also uses judgment to estimate probability of achieving vesting conditions of restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

Business combinations

Judgment is required to determine if the Company’s acquisition represented a business combination or an asset purchase. If estimates or judgments differed, this could result in a materially different allocation of net assets on the consolidated statement of financial position. In a business combination, substantially all identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. One of the most significant areas of judgment and estimation relates to the determination of the fair value of these assets and liabilities, including the fair value of contingent consideration, if applicable. If any intangible assets are identified, depending on the type of intangible asset and the complexity of determining its fair value, an independent external valuation expert may develop the fair value, using appropriate valuation techniques, which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future net cash flows. These valuations are linked closely to the assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of the assets concerned and any changes in the discount rate applied. In certain circumstances where estimates have been made, the Company may obtain third-party valuations of certain assets, which could result in further refinement of the fair-value allocation of certain purchase prices and accounting adjustments.

2. Statement of Compliance and Material Accounting Policies (continued)

Leases

Determining whether a lease contract contains an identified asset, whether the Company has the right to control the asset, and the lease term. The lease term is based on considering facts and circumstances, both qualitative and quantitative, that can create economic incentive to exercise renewal options.

Recoverability of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date and upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company assesses at each reporting date if the intangible asset has indicators of impairment. In determining whether the intangible asset is impaired, the Company assesses certain criteria including observable decreases in value, significant changes with adverse effect on the entity, a change in market interest rates, and evidence of technological obsolescence. The application of the Company’s accounting policy for intangible asset expenditures requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that the future economic benefits will flow to the Company, which are based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. Estimates and assumptions may change if new information becomes available. If, after expenditures are capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of expenditures is unlikely, the amount capitalized in excess of recoverable value is written off to profit or loss in the period the new information becomes available.

Estimated useful life of long-lived assets

Judgment is used to estimate each component of a long-lived asset’s useful life and is based on an analysis of all pertinent factors including, but not limited to, the expected use of the asset and in the case of an intangible asset, contractual provisions that enable renewal or extension of the asset’s legal or contractual life without substantial cost, and renewal history. If the estimated useful lives were incorrect, it could result in an increase or decrease in the annual amortization expense, and future impairment charges or recoveries.

Revenue recognition

Management has exercised significant judgment in determining appropriate accounting treatment for the recognition of income, including whether contracts meet the definition of a contract within the scope of IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”).

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances with banks and short-term deposits that are redeemable or with original maturities of three months or less.

Leases

Leases are initially measured at cost and subsequently depreciated. Initial measurement of costs is determined by the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, less any lease inducements receivable and any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently measured using a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability and is subsequently adjusted for interest and lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less, and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2. Statement of Compliance and Material Accounting Policies (continued)

Deferred Contract Costs

The Company defers contract costs that are direct and incremental to obtaining user contracts. Deferred contract costs consist of commissions paid for communication services provided in connection with the Company’s virtual land Non-Fungible Token (“NFT”) NFT sales. These fees for initial contracts are amortized over the estimated period of time the corresponding products are available to the user in proportion to the revenue recognized. The Company classifies deferred contract costs as short-term or long-term based on when the Company expects to recognize the expense. Short-term and long-term deferred contract costs are included on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position. Deferred contract costs are periodically reviewed for impairment.

Financial Instruments

Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost.

The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of a debt instrument is driven by the Company’s business model for managing its financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held-for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrumentby instrument basis) to designate them as FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or if the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.

Measurement

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost – Financial assets and liabilities classified as amortized cost include cash, accounts receivable, loan receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loan payable. Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL - Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise. Where management has opted to recognize a financial liability at FVTPL, any changes associated with the Company’s own credit risk will be recognized in other comprehensive loss.

Financial assets through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) - Financial assets that meet the following conditions are measured at FVTOCI:

  • 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 give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The Company does not currently hold any financial instruments designated as FVTOCI.

2. Statement of Compliance and Material Accounting Policies (continued)

Financial Instruments (continued)

Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in the statements of comprehensive loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.

Derecognition

Financial assets

The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled or expired. Generally, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Fair value hierarchy

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; and Level 3 - Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

Equipment

Equipment consists of computer equipment and furniture and fixtures and is recorded at cost and depreciated annually at rates calculated to depreciate the assets over their estimated useful lives. Computer equipment and furniture and fixtures are depreciated over a useful life of 3 years.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for the acquisition of an entity over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated to the cash generating unit (“CGU”) or group of CGUs which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Goodwill is not subject to amortization. The goodwill balance is assessed for impairment annually or when facts and circumstances indicate that it is impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at a CGU level by comparing the carrying value to the recoverable amount, which is determined as the greater of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Any excess of the carrying amount over the recoverable amount is the impaired amount. The recoverable amount estimates are categorized as Level 3 according to the fair value hierarchy. Impairment charges are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Goodwill is reported at cost less any accumulated impairment. Goodwill impairments are not reversed.

2. Statement of Compliance and Material Accounting Policies (continued)

Intangible Assets

The Company owns intangible assets consisting of an acquired NFT’s intellectual property, an internally generated film series, acquired digital platforms as described in Note 3, and internally generated platforms. Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Intangible assets acquired in connection with a business combination are initially recorded at fair value. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at initial carrying value less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

Acquired NFTs consist of NFTs purchased by the Company from third parties which allows the Company to use their intellectual property for development purposes and are carried at cost.

Investment in a film series includes the unamortized costs of producing a live-action NFT based series produced by the Company. Projects in development are written off at the earlier of the date they are determined not to be recoverable or when abandoned.

The cost of the acquired digital platforms comprises of the purchase price and any directly attributable costs of preparing the asset for its intended use.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the lower of contractual period or useful economic life and assessed for impairment at each reporting date or whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.

The amortization method and amortization period of an intangible asset with a finite life is reviewed at least quarterly. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straightline basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 1-7 years.

Research and Development Costs

Certain costs incurred in connection with the development of internally generated digital platforms are capitalized to intangible assets as development costs. Intangible assets are recorded at cost, which consists of directly attributable costs necessary to create such intangible assets, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The costs mainly include the compensation paid to the software developers.

Costs of producing a film series and costs to develop digital platforms are recognized as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:

  • it is technically feasible to complete the product so that it will be available for use;

  • management intends to complete the product;

  • it can be demonstrated how the product will generate future economic benefits;

  • adequate technical, financial, and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the products are available; and

  • the expenditure attributable to the product during its development can be reliably measured.

The costs of auxiliary items and accessories that are not sold are expensed as these items are not expected to generate future economic benefits. Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenditures are recognized in operations as incurred.

2. Statement of Compliance and Material Accounting Policies (continued)

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

For the purpose of testing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating unit, or “CGU”). An impairment loss is recognized for the amount, if any, by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less cost to sell and the value in use (being the present value of expected future cash flows of the asset or CGU). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lesser of the revised estimate of recoverable amount and the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been previously recognized, with the exception of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets.

Business Combination

A business combination is a transaction or event in which an acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses and is accounted for using the acquisition method. The total consideration paid for the acquisition is the fair value equity instruments issued in exchange for control of the acquiree at the acquisition date. The acquisition date is the date when the Company obtains control of the acquiree. The identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are recognized at their acquisition date fair values, except for deferred taxes and share-based payment awards where IFRS provides exceptions to recording the amounts at fair value. Goodwill represents the difference between total consideration paid and the fair value of the net-identifiable assets acquired. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Based on the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, management will perform a valuation analysis to allocate the purchase price based on the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. Management has one year from the acquisition date to confirm and finalize the facts and circumstances that support the finalized fair value analysis and related purchase price allocation. Until such time, these values are provisionally reported and are subject to change. Changes to fair values and allocations are retrospectively adjusted in subsequent periods.

In determining the fair value of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the most significant estimates generally relate to contingent consideration and intangible assets. Identified intangible assets are fair valued using appropriate valuation techniques which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future net cash flows of the acquiree. Valuations are highly dependent on the inputs used and assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of these assets and any changes in the discount rate applied.

Capital Stock

Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company's common shares are classified as equity instruments. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

2. Statement of Compliance and Material Accounting Policies (continued)

Capital Stock (continued)

Unit Offerings

The Company records proceeds from unit offerings consisting of common shares and equity classified share purchase warrants as share capital. 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 capital stock based on the fair value of the common shares at the time the units are priced and any residual value is allocated to the warrant reserve.

Share-based Payments

The Company grants stock options to acquire common shares of the Company to directors, officers, employees and consultants. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes or provides services similar to those performed by an employee.

The fair value of stock options granted to employees is measured on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is recognized over the vesting period. Consideration paid for the shares on the exercise of stock options is credited to share capital.

In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees, including finders’ warrants, share-based payments are measured at the fair value of goods or services received. If the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be reliably measured, the share-based payment is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

Income Tax

(i) Current Income Tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date, in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.

Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive loss or equity is recognized in other comprehensive loss or equity and not in profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

(ii) Deferred Income Tax

Deferred income tax is provided using the statement of financial position method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

2. Statement of Compliance and Material Accounting Policies (continued)

Loss per Share

Loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating diluted loss per share. Under this method, the dilutive effect on loss per share is calculated on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds of such exercise would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. However, the calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be antidilutive. 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.

Revenue Recognition

IFRS 15 provides revenue recognition requirements and established principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 specifies how and when revenue should be recognized based on a five-step model, which is applied to all contracts with customers. The Company’s accounting policy for revenue recognition under IFRS 15 is to follow a five-step model to determine the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized:

  1. Identifying the contract with a customer.

  2. Identifying the performance obligations within the contract.

  3. Determining the transaction price.

  4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations.

  5. Recognizing revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.

The Company’s revenue recognition policies for its four streams of revenue are as follows:

  1. For NFT sales, an assessment is made at the execution of each contract to determine whether: i) the performance obligations are satisfied over time, or ii) the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time.

For NFT sales for which the NFT represents the sole performance obligation, the Company recognizes its revenue at a point in time. The Company grants its NFT holders non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, nontransferrable, revocable, limited license to use its products. When performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, revenue is recognized when all of the aforementioned recognition criteria are met.

For NFT sales for which the NFT must be combined with additional promises to create a single performance obligation, the combined performance obligation is recognized over time as the Company transfers the benefits to the customer.

  1. Royalty revenue is accrued for royalty streams when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured based on relevant agreements and statements received from third party agents, and the underlying sales activity generating the royalty revenue has occurred.

  2. Revenue from design services is recognized over time as the Company fulfills all performance obligations related to the services provided.

  3. Revenue from services represents the planting of trees on behalf of customers. Revenue is recognized at a point in time, when the Company fulfills the performance obligation of planting the trees. Cost of sales for this revenue stream represents costs incurred to plant the trees.

Reclassifications

Certain items have been reclassified in the prior year financial statements to correct immaterial errors. A $25,000 loan facilitation fee has been reclassified from office expense to interest expense in the prior year consolidated statement of operations. The Company has also reclassified $100,000 from loans received and loans repaid to net against each other, and reclassified the facilitation fee from loans received to non-cash interest expense on the prior year consolidated statement of cash flows. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company's consolidated operating results, balance sheet or net cash flows.

New standards and interpretations adopted January 1, 2023

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 - Disclosure of Accounting Policies

In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, and IFRS Practice Statement 2. The amendments to IAS 1 require an entity to disclose its material accounting policies instead of its significant accounting policies. The amendments include clarification on how an entity can determine material accounting policies by applying the 'four-step materiality process' described in IFRS Practice Statement 2. The amendments to IAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company adopted the amendments effective August 1, 2023, with no material impact to the financial statements for 2023.

New Standards Adopted

Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Asset Acquisition

  • a) On August 9, 2022, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Web 3.0 Holdings Corp. (“Web 3.0”), a technology company that is addressing Business to Consumer and Business to Business infrastructure challenges within Web3 environments. Web 3.0 Holdings has aggregated a portfolio of retail-focused engagement and optimization assets, including crossover digital identity code scripts and digital distribution product frameworks (the “retail technology platform”). As consideration, the Company issued 184,363 common shares of the Company (each a "Consideration Share") on September 7, 2022, payable to the existing shareholders of Web 3.0 with a fair value of $1,935,815. The acquisition of Web 3.0 does not constitute a business combination because this entity does not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. As a result, the transaction has been measured at the fair value of equity consideration issued to acquire the entity.

The fair value of the consideration paid was determined based on the fair value of the assets received in accordance with IFRS 2 – Share Based Payments.

Purchase price: $

3. Asset Acquisition (continued)

  • b) On February 8, 2024, the Company acquired the Carbon.bot and Climate.bot digital platforms (the “Platforms”) from Bot Media Corp. in exchange for the issuance of 3,060,000 common shares of the Company (Note 12). Once launched, the Platforms are intended to serve as a unique real time news aggregator in the environmental sustainability sector, utilizing large language models such as ChatGPT to summarize and present articles from its network. The transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of assets as it does not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. The transaction was recorded at the fair value of the consideration transferred of $765,000 in accordance with IFRS 2 – Share Based Payments.

On July 31, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment of the Climate.bot and Carbon.bot platforms of $692,063 as described in Note 8.

4. Disposal of GenZeroes and Discontinued Operations

On March 30, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its subsidiary, GenZeroes Productions Inc. ("GenZeroes”), the GenX smart contract and all associated intellectual property (the “Related IP”) (collectively, the “Assets”), to GZU Entertainment Inc. (the “Purchaser”). The Company’s former Chief Product Officer Neil Stevenson-Moore was part of the Purchaser’s group and resigned from the Company following the completion of the sale.

As consideration for the Assets the Company received a promissory note (the “Note”) for $800,000 bearing an interest rate of prime rate plus 1% and a five-year term to maturity, with the option by the Purchaser to extend the term for an additional five years. The Company shall also retain a 50% royalty in perpetuity on all net proceeds from the content owned by the entity GenZeroes Productions Inc., which relates to the already completed first season of the GenZeroes series. The Note shall be secured against the shares of GenZeroes Productions Inc. and the Related IP. As a condition of closing the Transaction, the Purchaser has also granted to the Company a non-exclusive and royalty-free license (the "IP License") to use the GenX collection's intellectual property for its metaverse product branded as Pocket Dimension and video game branded as Overlords. The term of the IP License is for a period from the closing date until the Note is fully paid.

During the year ended July 31, 2023, the Company recorded a loss on the deconsolidation of GenZeroes of $428,307, which included $268 of cash held by GenZeroes.

The assets, liabilities and gain on loss of control of GenZeroes after deconsolidation are presented below:

5. Digital Assets

Digital assets are recorded at their fair value on the acquisition date or when they are received as revenues, and are revalued to their current market value at each reporting date. The fair value is determined using the spot rate quoted on www.finance.yahoo.com on the date the tokens are received or recorded as a receivable.

Digital assets consist of Ethereum, Tether and USD Coin (collectively “USD-T/C” or “cryptocurrencies”). Ethereum and USD-T/C transactions during the years ended July 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly from observable market data; and

Digital assets and risk management

Digital assets are measured using Level 2 fair values, determined by taking the rate from www.finance.yahoo.com.

Digital asset prices are affected by various forces including global supply and demand, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation and global political and economic conditions. A decline in the market prices for digital assets could negatively impact the Company’s future operations. The Company has not hedged the conversion of any of its sales of digital assets.

Digital assets have a limited history and the fair value historically has been relatively volatile. Historical performance of digital assets is not indicative of their future price performance. The Company’s digital assets currently consist solely of Ethereum. As of July 31, 2024, had the market price of Ethereum increased or decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, the corresponding digital assets value increase or decrease respectively would amount to $Nil (2023 - $2,195).

  • (b) Financial risk management:

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. The credit risk is considered low.
