Nubeva Technologies Ltd. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. For the nine months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in United States Dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Nubeva Technologies Ltd. (“the Company” or “Nubeva”) was incorporated under the provisions of The Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on February 3, 2017. The Company was a Capital Pool Company and had no business operations prior to February 28, 2018. The Company’s shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”). The Company’s registered and records office are located at Suite 1080, 789 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 1H2.
Nubeva develops software solutions to enable enterprises to run cybersecurity in the cloud.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As at January 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of $1,430,615 (April 30, 2020 - $1,447,203) and incurred a net loss for the period ended January 31, 2021 of $226,431. Management estimates that its working capital position will provide the Company with sufficient financial resources to carry out planned operations through the six months following January 31, 2021. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material. The Company is dependent upon making sales or raising debt and equity financing to provide the funding necessary to meet its general operating expenses and will require additional financing to continue to develop and deploy its technology. The Company has incurred losses since inception and may incur further losses in the development of its business. These factors indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, the Company may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company.
Since January 31, 2020 several measures have been implemented in the United States, Canada and Australia in response to the increased impact from novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The Company continues to operate its United States office from remote work sites and is continuing software development and sales and marketing activities at this time. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the heightened economic uncertainty may have significant implications for the Company. Management is taking actions to ensure the Company has adequate financing to mitigate the impact on its business in the event that future economic conditions reduce its ability to secure financing in fiscal 2022.
2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
Basis of Preparation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (“IFRIC”). These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on March 26, 2021.
Basis of Consolidation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries:
Nubeva Pty Ltd. registered in New South Wales, Australia; Nubeva, Inc., registered in Delaware USA; and

Nubeva Technologies Ltd. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. For the nine months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in United States Dollars)
A subsidiary is an entity (including special purpose entities) controlled by the Company, where control is achieved by the Company having the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. The financial statements are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Company and are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Basis of Measurement
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis since inception, except for those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Additionally, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
3. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND AMENDMENTS ISSUED
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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

12. TERM LOANS PAYABLE
On April 21, 2020, the Company received funding from the Silicon Valley Bank in the amount of $307,885 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), a program formed under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) guaranteed by the U.S. government. The loan bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum and matures in 24 months. Commencing September 21, 2021, the Company shall be responsible for equal monthly payments of principal and interest until the maturity date. Under the terms of the PPP, an amount up to the principal amount of funding was to be forgiven if the Company maintained a consistent number of full-time employees for a prescribed period of time and the funds were used for certain prescribed expenses. During the nine months ended January 31, 2021, the Company used the funds for the purposes set out in the CARES Act and has recorded government assistance of $197,399 for the amount of the loan to be forgiven in the condensed consolidated interim statement of comprehensive loss in the current period.

(ii) RSUs
RSUs are equity settled only and may be granted to directors, consultants, officers and employees of the Company. Compensation expense is recognized based on the share price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date multiplied by the number of RSUs expected to vest and recognized ratably over the vesting period, with a corresponding credit to the share-based compensation reserve. Adjustments to the number of RSUs expected to vest are recognized in the current period. Share-based compensation of $24,189 was recorded for RSUs during the period ended January 31, 2021 (Period ended January 31, 2020 - $92,607).
The continuity of RSUs for the period ended January 31, 2021 is as follows:

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment
13
Nubeva Technologies Ltd. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. For the nine months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in United States Dollars)
policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The following provides information with respect to the Company’s exposure to certain financial risks:
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company attempts to manage liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash. Liquidity requirements are managed based on expected cash flows to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term obligations. As at January 31, 2021, the Company had cash and marketable securities of $1,153,543 (April 30, 2020 - $1,873,375) to settle current liabilities of $529,285 (April 30, 2020 - $837,773). The Company estimates it has adequate working capital to continue operations for six months from January 31, 2021. There is substantial uncertainty that the Company will be able to continue to meet its financial obligations as they come due if it cannot general sales or raise additional capital, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital or raise capital on terms advantageous to the Company.
The Company’s business is subject to the effects of general global and regional economic conditions. If global and/or regional economic and market conditions, or economic conditions in key markets, remain uncertain or deteriorate, the Company may experience material adverse impacts on its business. Unfavorable and/or uncertain economic and market conditions may result in lower capital spending or delayed spending by customers on cyber security and network monitoring, despite the higher incidence of cyber fraud, and may adversely impact revenue and increase credit risk.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company’s sales are in US Dollars and although the majority of its operating expenses are denominated in US Dollars, a portion of general and administrative costs are denominated in Canadian Dollars and a portion of Research and Development costs are denominated in Australian Dollars exposing the Company to foreign exchange risk. The Company monitors its exposure to foreign exchange risk and converts any surplus funds to US Dollars to provide a natural hedge.
As at January 31, 2021 and April 30, 2020, the Company was exposed to foreign currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign source currencies, converted to US Dollars at the prevailing rate at the end of each of the reporting periods:
| January 31, 2021 | January 31, 2021 | April 30, 2020 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Australian | Canadian | Australian Canadian |
||
| Dollars | Dollars | Dollars | Dollars | |
| Cash | $ 202,035 | $ 11,929 | $ 45,111 $ | 59,645 |
| Accounts receivable | 5,333 | 4,347 | 21,005 | 1,335 |
| Income tax receivable | 145,768 | - | 241,458 |
- |
| Accounts payable and accrued | ||||
| liabilities | (101,562) | (151,430) | (88,146) (128,358) | |
| Term loan | - | (16,239) | - | (28,756) |
| Total | $ 251,574 $ (151,393) | $ 219,428 $ | (96,134) |
Based on the above net exposures, as at January 31, 2021, a 10% change in the Canadian Dollar to the US Dollar exchange rate would impact the Company’s net gain or loss by $15,139 and a 10% change in the Australian Dollar to the US Dollar exchange rate would impact the Company’s net gain or loss by $25,157.
As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the Company has witnessed increased volatility in currencies, which may have a future impact on operating results. Although the Company’s functional currency is United States dollars the Company has operations in Canada and Australia. Increases in the Canadian and Australian dollars could result in foreign exchange losses and result in an adverse effect on operating results.

Credit risk and Credit Concentration
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 loss and 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.
To measure the expected credit losses, trade accounts receivable and contract assets have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The contract assets relate to unbilled license fees and support and maintenance fees and have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade accounts receivable for the same type of contracts. As at January 31, 2021 accounts receivable was comprised 77% of trade accounts receivable and 23% of contract assets. As at January 31, 2021, two customers comprised 21% and 59% of accounts receivable and contract assets respectively.
Capital Management
The Company’s objective in managing capital is to ensure sufficient liquidity to fund research and development, engage in sales and marketing activities, and undertake selective acquisitions, while at the same time taking a conservative approach toward financial leverage and management of financial risk. The Company’s capital is composed entirely of equity. The Company uses capital to finance its operating losses. There is substantial uncertainty that the Company will be able to continue to finance its operating losses. The Company currently funds these requirements from cash raised through the issuance of common shares. There is a risk that the Company will not be able to raise funds through the issuance of shares or on terms advantageous to the Company or its shareholders. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure that the Company will continue to have enough liquidity help build its portfolio of cloud-based security solutions from which it will obtain returns on investment.
The Company monitors its capital on the basis of the adequacy of its cash resources to fund its business plan. In order to maximize flexibility to finance growth, the Company does not currently pay a dividend to holders of its common shares. There is no external restriction on the Company’s capital. The Company did not institute any changes to its capital management strategy during the period.
Investment Risk
As at January 31, 2021 the Company’s cash and marketable securities were comprised of cash in the amount of $290,123 (April 30, 2020 - $605,901), and money market funds in the amount of $863,420 (April 30, 2020 - $1,267,474).
At January 31, 2021 money market funds were comprised as follows:
i) 42% of Blackrock BLF FedFund, AAA rated with investments in cash, U.S. Treasury bills, notes and other obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government; and ii) 58% Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds (MSILF) Government Portfolio, AAA rated, liquid, high-quality debt securities issued by the U.S. government.
Although certain money market fund investments may be guaranteed, the funds themselves are not insured or guaranteed and the Company could lose money. An investment in the funds is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The prices of fixed income securities respond to economic developments, including interest rate changes. Prices may be inversely affected by changes in interest rates. Accordingly, money market funds are subject to interest rate risk, and in a rising interest rate environment, portfolio shares can decline in value.

Alumina will provide the Company with up to CAD $8.0 million over a 24-month period to finance its working capital needs as well as accelerate its product development. Each tranche shall be a private placement of units, to be comprised of one common share and one half of a Common Share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each full Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share of the Company at a price of 25% over the Unit price and will have a term of three years. If the volume weighted average closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX-V is equal to or greater than 2 times the exercise price of the Warrants at any time during which they are eligible for exercise for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may at its option elect to accelerate the expiry of the Warrants by providing notice (by news release) within 10 calendar days following the end of such 20 consecutive trading day period, in which case the Warrants will expire on the date specified in such notice.
