(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

==> picture [130 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders of Neptune Digital Assets Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Neptune Digital Assets Corp. (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at August 31, 2021 and the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at August 31, 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

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.

Other Matter

The consolidated financial statements of Company for the year ended August 31, 2020, were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial statements on December 22, 2020.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained the 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 ini this auditor's report. We have nothing to report in this regard.

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

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

==> picture [507 x 64] intentionally omitted <==

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.

  • 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.

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 Curtis Dorfman.

Neptune Digital Assets Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year ended August 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Neptune Digital Assets Corp. (the “Company” or “Neptune”) (formerly Neptune Dash Technologies Corp.) was incorporated on October 31, 2017 under the laws of the province of British Columbia. On December 17, 2020, the Company changed its name to Neptune Digital Assets Corp. The Company’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) under the symbol NDA. The head office, registered office and records office of the Company are located in 2800 – 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC.

Neptune is engaged in the business that builds, owns and operates digital currency infrastructure assets. Its core assets are digital currencies and its primary business model is to mine Bitcoin. The Company’s ancillary activities include staking and lending various digital currencies with the goal of earning interest and staking rewards. Digital currency staking is the process of actively participating in transaction validation on a blockchain.

On February 16, 2018 the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Neptune Stake Technologies Corp. (“Neptune Stake”) which holds no assets or liabilities as at August 31, 2021.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s ability to raise funds in the future, however the Company has not been significantly impacted by the outbreak and its effects.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRS IC”). These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on December 29, 2021.

Basis of presentation

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

These consolidated financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss and digital currencies (including those related to lending activities) that are measured at revalued amounts. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information. The functional currency of the Company is Canadian dollars.

Going concern

The directors have, at the time of approving the consolidated financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the consolidated financial statements, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities.

5

Neptune Digital Assets Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year ended August 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Neptune Stake Technologies Corp. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary.

All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

Significant accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.

Significant judgments

Critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements include the following:

  • (i) Income taxes - Management exercises judgment to determine the extent to which deferred tax assets are recoverable and can therefore be recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position and income and comprehensive income.

  • (ii) Functional currency - The functional currency of the Company has been assessed by management based on consideration of the currency and economic factors that mainly influence the Company’s digital currencies, production and operating costs, financing and related transactions. Specifically, the Company considers the currencies in which digital currencies are most commonly denominated and expenses are settled by each entity as well as the currency in which each entity receives or raises financing. Changes to these factors may have an impact on the judgment applied in the determination of the Company’s functional currency.

  • (iii) Digital currency transactions and balances - Digital currencies are considered to be an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance. Management has determined that the digital currencies are treated as intangible assets in accordance with IAS 38 Intangible Assets (“IAS 38”).

The Company adopts the revaluation model in accounting for its digital currencies. In determining fair values, management needs to apply judgments to identify the relevant available markets, and to consider accessibility to and activity within those markets in order to identify the principal digital asset markets for the Company.

Digital currencies related to lending activities representing digital currencies loaned out to third parties are accounted for as intangible assets and are presented separately on the consolidated statement of financial position. Management determined that digital currencies loaned out to third parties do not meet the derecognition criteria of IAS 38.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(continued)

Significant accounting judgments and estimates (continued)

Significant judgments (continued)

  • (iii) (continued)

In June 2019, the IFRS IC published its agenda decision on ‘Holdings of Cryptocurrencies,’ and management exercises significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment for matters with no current definitive and uniform answers. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the IASB, the Company may be required to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results from operations.

Management exercises judgment to determine whether a digital currency meets the definition of a financial asset under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”). Management has determined that USD Coin represents a contractual right to receive cash from the USD Coin issuer and, therefore, meets the definition of a financial asset.

(iv) Short-term investments - The fair value of investments in investment funds which are not quoted in an active market is determined by using net asset value as determined by the investee fund’s administrator. Management deems the net asset value to be the fair value after considering key factors such as the liquidity of the investee fund or its underlying investments, any restrictions on redemptions and basis of accounting.

Included in short-term investments is a 34.42% investment in an investment fund. Management accounted for such investment at fair value to profit or loss under IFRS 9, because the Company does not exercise significant influence over the investee. The Company does not have any contractual right to appoint any representative to the investee’s board of directors. In addition, the Company does not have any participation in policy-making processes and does not have any material transactions with the investee.

Significant estimates

  • (i) Digital currency valuation Digital currencies consist of cryptocurrency denominated assets (Note 3). Digital currencies are revalued to their fair value determined based on volume weighted average price from www.cryptocompare.com at 7:00 am UTC. 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 currencies would have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings and financial position. In addition, management estimates that selling costs will be nominal.

  • (ii) Share based compensation - The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes”) to estimate the fair value of stock options granted to directors, employees, and consultants. The use of Black-Scholes requires management to make various estimates and assumptions that impact the value assigned to the stock options including the forecast future volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and the expected life of the stock options. Any changes in these assumptions could have a material impact on the share-based compensation calculation value, however the most significant estimate is the volatility. Expected future volatility can be difficult to estimate as the Company has had limited history and is in a unique industry, and historical volatility is not necessarily indicative of future volatility.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue recognition

Revenue from Bitcoin mining

The Company has executed a contract with a mining pool operator to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contract is terminable at any time by either party and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, the Company is entitled to a fractional share of the fixed digital currency award the mining pool operator is expected to receive (less digital asset transaction fees to the mining pool operator), for successfully adding a block to the blockchain. The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm.

Providing computing power in digital asset transaction verification services is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contract with mining pool operator. The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is noncash consideration, which the Company measures at fair value on the date received, which is not materially different than the fair value at contract inception or the time the Company has earned the award from the pools. The consideration is all variable. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions. Fair value of the cryptocurrency award received is determined using the quoted price of the related cryptocurrency at the time of receipt.

Other income from staking

The Company recognizes other income from the provision of masternode server operations within digital currency networks, commonly termed “masternode hosting”. As consideration for these services, the Company receives digital currency from each specific network in which it participates (“Dash”, “Fantom” or “ATOM”). Other income is measured based on the fair value of the Dash, Fantom or ATOM received. The fair value is determined using the hourly volume weighted average price from www.cryptocompare.com of Dash, Fantom or ATOM on the date of receipt. A Dash, Fantom or ATOM is considered earned on the completion and addition of a block to the blockchain, at which time the economic benefit is received and can be reliably measured.

Other income from staking is presented as part of other income as management deems this as part of its ancillary operations.

Interest income from digital currencies related to lending activities and from digital currency balances held in an exchange and lending platform

From time to time, the Company loans out digital currencies to earn interest on these digital currencies prior to them being used to purchase mining machines or funding other asset acquisitions. The loans are in both open and closed terms at varying interest rates. Interest rates are based on a percentage of the digital currencies loaned and are denominated in the related digital currencies.

The Company also earns interest income from digital currency balances held in an exchange and lending platform based on contractual interest rates.

Interest income from digital currencies loaned is presented as part of other income as management deems this as part of its ancillary operations.

Digital currencies

Digital currencies that are expected to be realized within 12 months of the reporting period are recorded as current assets on the consolidated statement of financial position. All other digital currencies are classified as non-current.

Management of the Company views each digital currency as an intangible asset as it is an identifiable nonmonetary asset without physical substance and accordingly the Company uses the revaluation model, as permitted under IAS 38 to measure its digital currencies. Initially, the digital currencies are measured at cost. For purposes of revaluation, fair value is determined by reference to the volume weighted average price from www.cryptocompare.com at 7:00 am UTC.

If the carrying amount of a digital currency is increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of accumulated other comprehensive income. However, the increase is recognized in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized in profit or loss.

If the carrying amount of a digital currency is decreased as a result of a revaluation, the decrease is recognized in profit or loss. However, the decrease is recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent of any credit balance in the other comprehensive income in respect to that digital currency.

The Company does not transfer the cumulative revaluation surplus included in equity directly to retained earnings when the surplus is realized. The whole surplus may be realized on the disposal of the asset.

The Company has assessed that the digital currencies have an indefinite useful life because there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the assets are expected to generated cash inflows for the Company.

Purchases of digital currencies by the Company are included within investing activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows, while digital currencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities are included within operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. The sales of digital currencies are included within investing activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows and any realized gains or losses from such sales are included as an item under other items on the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.

Digital currencies that are used in lending activities do not meet the derecognition criteria under IAS 38 and are presented as digital currencies related to lending activities on the consolidated statement of financial position. When a digital currency is transferred to digital currencies related to lending activities, both the revalued amount and the corresponding cost of the digital currency are transferred to that category.

The Company’s realized gain or loss on digital currencies is calculated as the proceeds received from the sale of digital currencies less their cost, which is determined on a First-in, First-out basis.

Shared-based payments

Share-based payments include option and stock grants granted to directors, employees and consultants. The Company accounts for share-based compensation using a fair value-based method with respect to all sharebased payments measured and recognized, to directors, employees and consultants. For directors and employees, the fair value of the options and stock grants is measured at the date of grant. For consultants, the fair value of the options and stock are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. For directors, employees and consultants, the fair value of the options and stock grants is accrued and charged to operations, with the offsetting credit to share based payment reserve for options, and commitment to issue shares for stock grants over the vesting period. If and when the stock options are exercised, the applicable amounts are transferred from share-based payment reserve to share capital. When the stock grants are issued, the applicable fair value is transferred from commitment to issue shares to share capital. Option based compensation awards are calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model while stock grants are valued at the fair value on the date of grant.

The Company has granted certain directors and consultants restricted share units (“RSUs”) to be settled in shares of the Company. The fair value of the estimated number of RSUs that will eventually vest, determined at the date of grant, is recognized as share-based compensation expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding amount recorded as equity. The fair value of the RSUs is estimated using the market value of the underlying shares as well as assumptions related to the market and non-market conditions at the grant date.

Income taxes

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current taxation is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries the Company and its subsidiary operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for deferred income tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that substantive enactment occurs. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred income tax asset will be recovered, the deferred income tax asset is not recognized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to offset current tax assets against liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency are translated into its functional currency 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 translation at the year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss.

Provisions

Provisions are recorded when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the weighted average share outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common stock at the average market price during the reporting periods.

Financial instruments

(i) Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, amortized cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

Fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) - financial assets are classified as fair value through profit or loss if they do not meet the criteria of amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. Changes in fair value are recognized in profit and loss.

Amortized cost – financial assets are classified as measured at amortized cost if both of the following criteria are met and the financial assets are not designated as FVTPL: 1) The objective of the Company’s business model for these financial assets is to collect their contractual cash flows; and 2) the assets contractual cash flow represents solely payments of principal and interest.

Subsequent measurement – financial assets at amortized cost

After initial recognition, financial assets measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at the end of each reporting period at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Rate (“EIR”) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR.

Financial instruments (continued)

Derecognition

A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or the Company no longer retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Financial assets are classified as follows:

Classification IFRS 9
Cash Amortized cost
USD Coin Amortized cost
Short-term investments FVTPL

(ii) Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

The Company classifies its financial liabilities into one of two categories, depending on the purpose for which the liability was incurred. The Company's accounting policy for each category is as follows:

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL, as is the case with derivative instruments, or the Company has opted to measure the financial liability at FVTPL. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value, and where applicable net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent measurement – financial liabilities at amortized cost

After initial recognition, financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at the end of each reporting period at amortized cost using the EIR method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled, or expires with any associated gain or loss recognized in other income or expense in the statement for profit or loss.

Financial liabilities consist only of accounts payable and accrued liabilities which are measured at amortized cost.

Impairment

(i) Non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than deferred income tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the assets’ recoverable amount is estimated. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or group of assets (the “cash-generating unit”).

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of a cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cost flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the assets. Impairment losses are recognized in net income (loss).

Impairment losses recognized in prior years are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss has been recognized.

The Company’s accounting policy for impairment on digital currencies is discussed within the digital currencies significant accounting policy.

(ii) Financial assets

The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses (“ECL”) associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as the reporting date, with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition, based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward-looking information.

The Company recognizes lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. However, if the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL.

Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

Equipment

Equipment is recorded at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. The Company provides for depreciation using the declining balance at 50% per year for all mining equipment.

Unit share issuances

For unit share issuances consisting of common shares and warrants, the Company uses the fair value of common shares as the more reliably measurable instrument. The proceeds from the issuance of units are first allocated to the share capital and the residual amount, being the difference between the proceeds from issuance and the fair value of the common shares, is allocated to warrants.

Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income is the change in the Company’s net assets that results from transactions, events and circumstances from sources other than the Company’s shareholders and includes items that are not included in net profit. Other comprehensive income consists of changes to unrealized gains and losses on digital currencies that are measured at revalued amounts during the period. Comprehensive income measures net earnings for the period plus other comprehensive income. Amounts reported as other comprehensive income are accumulated in a separate component of shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income.

New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted

There were no new standards, interpretations, or amendments adopted for the year ended August 31, 2021.

Accounting standards and amendments issued but not yet adopted

There are no new standards or amendments issued but not yet adopted that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Tether and USD Coin related to lending activities

During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company entered into a series of loans whereby it loaned an aggregate of 27,500,000 Tether with the following interest rates and maturities:

  • a) 20,000,000 Tether, valued at $25,212,709, bearing 11% interest, maturing May 21, 2021; b) 7,500,000 Tether, valued at $9,454,766, bearing 11.25% interest, maturing October 22, 2021; and c) 10,000,000 Tether, valued at $12,589,647, bearing 10% interest, maturing September 28, 2021.

Interest on above loans is payable in Tether. Subsequent to maturity, the 20,000,000 was rolled into two new loans bearing 11% and maturing on June 21, 2021. 10,000,000 of the loans were rolled into USD Coin, and the remaining 10,000,000 remained as Tether. As Tether and USD Coin had the same value, the Company did not recognize any gain or loss on the loan roll forwards. The two loans were repaid during the year ended August 31, 2021.

7. SHARE CAPITAL (continued)

Share-based compensation

The Company has a stock option plan under which it is authorized to grant options to directors, employees and consultants to acquire up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common stock. The exercise price of each option is based on the market price of the Company's stock for a period preceding the date of grant. The options can be granted for a maximum term of 10 years and vest as determined by the board of directors.

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year ended August 31, 2021 was $0.54 (2020 - $nil). Total share-based compensation recognized in the statement of shareholders’ equity for the year ended August 31, 2021, was $5,589,958 (2020 - $nil) for stock options granted and vested and was recognized in profit or loss. The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model using the following weighted average assumptions:

August 31, August 31,
2021 2020
Weighted average share price $0.54 N/A
Risk-free interest rate 1.14% N/A
Expected life of option 10 years N/A
Expected annualized volatility 159.89% N/A
Expected dividend rate Nil N/A

Restricted share units

The Company has a long-term restricted share unit plan (“RSU’s”). The RSU’s entitle directors, officers or employees to common shares of the Company upon vesting, based on vesting terms determined by the Company’s Board of Directors at the time of grant.

During the year ended August 31, 2018, the Company granted 1,580,000 RSU’s which vest over the course of three years, such that 33.33% vest every 12 months. During the year ended August 31, 2019, 30,000 RSU’s were forfeited. During the year ended August 31, 2020 of the remaining unvested 1,033,333 RSU’s, 533,333 RSU’s held by former officers and directors were cancelled. In connection with the cancellation, the Company recognized a recovery to share-based compensation of $113,039. During the year ended August 31, 2020, the second tranche of RSU’s vested and the Company issued 250,000 common shares. For the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company recognized $16,204 in share-based compensation related to the remaining RSU’s. During the year ended August 31, 2021, the final tranche of RSU’s vested and the Company issued 250,000 common shares.

During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company granted 280,001 RSU’s to certain consultants, officers, and directors. The RSU’s vested immediately and shares were issued concurrent with the tranche of vested RSU’s as discussed above. The new RSU’s were valued at $0.145 per RSU and $40,600 was recognized directly to share-based compensation. The aggregate impact of the cancelled RSU’s and the new issuance resulted in the recognition of a recovery of $72,439 to share-based compensation on the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for the year ended August 31, 2020.

During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company granted 307,199 RSU’s to certain consultants, officers, and directors. The RSU’s vested immediately and shares were issued concurrent with the final tranche of vested RSU’s as discussed above. The new RSU’s were valued at $0.325 per RSU and $99,840 was recognized directly to share-based compensation.

9. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES

The Company’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Company considers the items included in shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company’s primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has sufficient cash resources to acquire more cryptocurrencies and fund the operations and investments of the Company. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue these plans, the Company intends to raise additional funds through the equity or debt financing. The Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a regulator.

10. INCOME TAXES

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 that one party to a financial instrument will cause a loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Financial instruments which are potentially subject to credit risk for the Company consist of primarily cash and USD Coin. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Company has gross credit exposure at August 31, 2021, related to cash of $154,803 and USD Coin of $10,965,496. All cash is held at Canadian chartered banks, which minimizes credit risk. USD Coin risk is mitigated by the fact that it is fully backed by cash and equivalents and short-duration U.S. Treasuries. The reserve account backing the USD Coin includes cash balances that exceed the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance limit of $250,000 USD per institution.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial risk management (continued)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company manages Company-wide cash projections centrally and regularly updates projections for changes in business and fluctuations caused in digital currency prices and exchange rates.

Interest risk

Interest risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market risk. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is limited and only relates to its ability to earn interest income on cash balances and USD Coin at variable rates. Changes in short term interest rates will not have a significant effect on the fair value of the Company’s cash account and USD Coin.

Price risk

Price risk is the risk that the value of a security or investment will decrease. The Company is exposed to price risk on its holdings in USD Coin. As USD Coin is tied to the US Dollar, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may impact the valuation of the Company’s assets. A 10% fluctuation in the price of USD Coin would result in a change to profit or loss of approximately $1.1 million.

Foreign currency risk

Currency risk relates to the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Exchange rate fluctuations may affect the costs that the Company incurs in the future in its operations as well as the currency in which the Company has historically raised capital. Other than currency risk exposure of USD Coin, the Company is not currently exposed to significant currency risk as the Company’s presentation currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases and financings to date have been transacted in Canadian dollars.

27

Neptune Digital Assets Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year ended August 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company classifies its fair value measurements in accordance with an established hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs in valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

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

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

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

The following table sets forth the Company’s assets measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy as at August 31, 2021.

August 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Digital currencies $ - $ 14,968,205 $ -
Digital currencies related to lending activities - 22,248,793 -
Short-term investments - 3,327,316 -

Digital currencies related to lending activities - 765,638 -
Short-term investments - 392,088 -
Total $ - $ 3,603,452 $ -

The fair values of digital currencies, including those related to lending activities, are based on volume weighted average price from www.cryptocompare.com at 7:00 am UTC. The fair values of the short-term investments are remeasured based on monthly valuation reports provided to the Company by the investee fund administrator.

There were no transfers between any levels during the year.

Neptune Digital Assets Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year ended August 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

13. DIGITAL CURRENCY RISKS

Price risk related to digital currencies

Digital asset prices are volatile and affected by various factors including global supply and demand, interest rates, exchanges rates, inflation or deflation and the political and economic conditions. Supply and demand for such assets rapidly change from time to time affecting by regulations and general economic trends. A decline in the market prices of digital assets could impact the Company’s future operations. The management of the Company constantly monitors the exposure in response to the market conditions.

Digital assets that the Company deals within its operating and investing activities are various digital currencies which can be traded in a number of public exchanges or through over-the-counter market. The Company’s exposure to price risk arises from digital currencies which are measured at revalued amounts.

At August 31, 2021, if the prices of digital currencies (except stablecoins) held by the Company had decreased by 15% (being a reasonably expected change determined based on average monthly price movements) in the principal markets with other variables held constant, the impact on accumulated other comprehensive income arising from changes in fair value of digital currencies (including digital currencies related to lending activities) would have been $2,132,697 lower.

If the prices of digital assets (except stablecoins) had been 15% higher and all other variables were held constant, other comprehensive income would increase by $2,132,697.

Credit risk

The Company’s digital currencies related to lending activities are exposed to credit risk. The Company limits its credit risk for digital currencies related to lending activities by placing these digital assets with high quality counterparties that are believed to have sufficient capital to meet their obligations as they come due and on which the Company has performed due diligence procedures. The Company’s due diligence procedures may include review of the financial position of the borrower, liquidity levels of the borrower in applicable assets, review of the borrower’s management, review of certain internal control procedures of the borrower, review of market information, and monitoring the Company’s risk exposure thresholds. As at August 31, 2021, and subsequently, the Company does not expect a material loss on any of its digital currencies related to lending activities.

The Company also limits its credit risk by placing its cryptocurrencies with crypto trading exchanges on which the Company has performed internal due diligence procedures.

The Company deems these procedures necessary as some trading exchanges are unregulated and not subject to regulatory oversight. Furthermore, trading exchanges may engage in the practice of commingling client assets in exchange wallets. When cryptocurrencies are commingled, individual transactions and balances are not recorded on the applicable blockchain ledger but are only recorded by the exchange. Therefore, there is a risk around the occurrence of transactions or the existence of period end balances represented by exchanges.

Loss of access risk

The loss of access to the private keys associated with the Company’s digital asset holdings may be irreversible and could adversely affect the future operation. Digital assets are controllable only by an individual that possesses both the unique public key and private key or keys relating to the “digital wallet” in which the digital asset is held. To the extent a private key is lost, destroyed or otherwise compromised and no backup is accessible the Company may be unable to access the digital assets. It is the policy of the Company to conduct due diligence surrounding private key management performed by custodians as part of the onboarding process in order to mitigate this risk.

29

Neptune Digital Assets Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year ended August 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

13. DIGITAL CURRENCY RISKS (continued)

Irrevocability of transactions

Digital asset transactions are irrevocable and if stolen or incorrectly transferred digital assets may be irretrievable. Once a transaction has been verified and recorded in a block that is added to the blockchain, an incorrect transfer or theft generally will not be reversible, and the Company may not be capable of seeking compensation. The Company seeks to mitigate risk by establishing policies and procedures to require a careful review of each transaction before execution.

Hard fork and air drop risks

When a proposed modification to the digital currency network is not accepted by the vast majority of miners and users but is nonetheless accepted by a substantial population of participants in the network, a “fork” in the blockchain occurs, resulting in two separate digital currency networks. A “hard fork” is a software upgrade that introduces a new rule to the network that is not compatible with the older software, while a “soft fork” is any change that is backward compatible. Holders of digital currency on the original digital currency network, at the time the block is mined and the fork occurs, can then also typically receive an identical amount of new tokens on the new network. Hard forks could affect the value and harm the sustainability of the affected digital currencies.

Air drops occur when the promoters of a new digital asset send amounts of the new digital asset to holders of another digital asset that they will be able to claim a certain amount of the new digital asset for free. The Company may not be able to realize the economic benefit of a hard fork or air drop, either immediately or ever, for various reasons. For instance, the Company may not have any systems in place to monitor or participate in hard forks or airdrops. Therefore, the Company may not receive any new digital assets created as a result of a hard fork or airdrop, thus losing any potential value from such digital assets.

For the years ended August 31, 2021 and 2020, there was no loss relating to a hard fork or airdrop.

Regulatory oversight risk

Regulatory changes or actions may restrict the use of digital assets or the operation of digital asset networks or exchanges in a manner that adversely affects investments held by the Company. The Company consistently engages with external legal counsels or regulatory advisors to understand any updates on the regulatory landscape which might have impacts on its businesses.

Cybersecurity risk

While the Company’s security technology is designed to prevent, detect, and mitigate inappropriate access to its systems, it is possible that hackers, employees or service providers acting contrary to its policies, or others could circumvent these safeguards to improperly access its systems or documents, or the systems or documents of its business partners, agents, or service providers, and improperly access, obtain, misuse its digital currencies and USD Coin held in hot wallets.

As at August 31, 2021, digital currencies held in hot and cold wallets amounted to $8,866,721 and $6,101,484 (2020 - $1,175,511 and $1,270,215), respectively. As at August 31, 2021, USD Coin held in hot wallets amounted to $10,965,496 (2020 - $nil).

Neptune Digital Assets Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year ended August 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

13. DIGITAL CURRENCY RISKS (continued)

Staking risk

Digital currency prices are volatile and can drop quickly. If any of the Company’s staked assets suffer a large price drop, that could outweigh any staking income earned on them. Staking can require the Company to lock up its digital currencies for a minimum amount of time. Staking also exposes the Company to slashing. Slashing is a penalty enforced at the protocol level associated with malicious attack against the network by a validator.

14. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company’s sole operation is in Canada. Accordingly, the chief decision makers consider the Company to currently have one segment and, therefore, segmented information is not presented.

15. CONTINGENCY

The Company has filed a claim against a company located in Alberta (the “Defendant”) arising out of the breach of Master Service Agreement entered into between the Company and the Defendant on February 27, 2021. Under the Master Service Agreement, the Defendant agreed to procure and operate 300 Bitcoin mining rigs at its facility in Alberta. The Defendant’s facility was subsequently shut down due to failure to have appropriate consents, licenses and approvals from the Alberta Utilities Commission. The Company sought from the Defendant for (a) damages for losses sustained between May 1, 2021 and August 27, 2021, (b) future lost profits, (c) damages for bad faith and (d) punitive damages. The Company also sought for the return of the mining rigs. In the opinion of management and legal counsel, the Company has a valid claim and is entitled to a certain payment. Because the amount is indeterminable, the claim has not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
