The Company provides online eCommerce integrations (WooCommerce, Magento, Shopify), an iOS application, open web portal for B2B shipments and various API integration capabilities. The technology stack enables business to operate online and provide an end to end solution for last mile logistics. ParcelPal’s management have spent considerable amount of time developing and streamlining the ordering and fulfillment processes for their eCommerce channels which enable merchants or local businesses to easily integrate no matter the size.

The delivery platform functions to various aspects of all business requirements for B2B and B2C logistics and technology. ParcelPal has rapidly evolved to become a broader platform offering that can be customized to service multiple industries and verticals.
To successfully execute an aggressive growth strategy to fulfill the demand of merchants and consumers, ParcelPal has developed a remote launch kit whereby merchants will be able to set up and get started outside the Vancouver area. ParcelPal’s marketing team has additionally begun marketing in various cities across Canada to estimate demand and launch in that given city.
The Company will increase monthly recurring revenue by continuously adding new merchants, delivery verticals and drivers to the platform. Monthly fees from merchants is part of ParcelPal’s plan for additional revenue streams. In addition to ParcelPal’s current services, ParcelPal plans to implement additional services for consideration of growing the merchant’s business and retaining existing customers. ParcelPal has been working closely with merchants to determine pricing strategies and service add-ons to further monetize the platform.

Forward Looking Growth and Business Strategies
ParcelPal’s business strategy started with hitting major urban centers. With success, the Company has decided to aim to launch in every major urban center in Canada while expanding regionally, in parallel.

ParcelPal has been extensively building out technology that can easily integrate with SME and large scale logistics platforms. The Company has added a well experienced sales professional to build out the penetration strategy for existing and new cities. Since this addition, the Company has begun discussions with many large enterprises across Canada. ParcelPal’s strategy includes leveraging larger brands for both cheaper and easier customer acquisition, making penetration easier in existing and new markets.
To successfully execute an aggressive growth strategy to fulfill the demand of merchants and consumers, ParcelPal is developing a remote launch kit whereby merchants will be able to set up and get started outside the Vancouver area. ParcelPal’s marketing team has additionally begun marketing in various cities across Canada to estimate demand and launch in that given city namely aiming at Ontario.

Revenue
The Company currently has two revenue streams. One is through the application known as ParcelPal and the other through billable contracts such as Amazon.com Inc and other merchants.

PARCELPAL TECHNOLOGY INC. Amended and Restated Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) For the year ended December 31, 2019
In fiscal 2019, revenue consisted of orders through the ParcelPal application, which constitute a delivery fee and convenience fee. These orders come from either restaurant, B2B or liquor orders. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of the item(s). ParcelPal also bills Amazon.com Inc. on a weekly basis with terms of net 30 payment schedule. Additionally, the Company completes some deliveries for corporate customers not on the platform for a flat rate fee.
GOING CONCERN
The Company has financed its operations through equity issuances. The Company had a net loss of $4,610,512 for the year ended December 31, 2019 (2018 – $3,664,376) (2017 – $1,438,438) and has a deficit of $12,054,580 as at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 – $7,444,068) (December 31, 2017 - $3,779,692).
The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations in recent years. As a result of the foregoing, there is significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements were 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. Whether and when the Company can attain profitability and positive cash flows is uncertain. The Company is working to expand its operations and it is expected that the Company’s liquidity will fluctuate as a result of any expansion. The fee structure for the services offered by the Company is expected to remain constant for the foreseeable future.
The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon completing a short-term financing for sufficient working capital to maintain operations, reducing operating expenses, increasing revenues and commencing profitable operations in the future. Risks that may materially affect the Company’s future performance include: the possibility of discontinuance of operations of the Company, the risk that the Company is unable to find suitable investors for a financing, the risk that the Company will not be able to expand operations, the risk that the Company will not be successful due to general risks relating to the mobile application industry, the failure of the Company’s app to gain market acceptance, potential challenges to the intellectual property utilized in the Company’s app, and competition risks. The Company recognizes the threats posed by operating in an uncertain global economic environment. This uncertainty may continue to impact the Company’s industry, resulting in a lower demand for some of its services and its partners’ products.
The Company is in its growth phase and it is expected that the Company will continue to incur losses until significant revenues are generated as management executes its business plan. The Company began generating revenue in the period ending September 30, 2017; however, as at December 31, 2019, the Company had not achieved a positive cash flow from operations.
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash balances and adjusting the operating budget and expenditures to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term and other specific obligations. The Company plans to control spending and prudently allocate financial resources to optimize value. The Company will seek additional financing through equity financings until the Company reaches profitability. In order to increase sales, the Company intends to ensure that the service provided meets the needs of existing and potential customers and is competitively priced. The Company plans to continue to develop, innovate and continuously improve current and new technologies in a timely and cost-effective manner. Management believes that the likelihood of completing these plans is high, and the Company has sufficient financial resources to meet its planned operations for the foreseeable future.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company defines capital that it manages as its shareholders’ equity. When managing capital, the Company’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the development of a social collaborative charting, news and communication platform for traders. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2019.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Classification of financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, loans receivable, accounts payable and lease obligations. The Company classifies cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable as financial assets at amortized cost. Accounts payable and lease obligations are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost.
The Company examines the various financial instruments and risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks include foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. When material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.

There have been no changes in any risk management policies during the year ended December 31, 2019.
Fair value
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of the three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
-
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 or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost approximate their fair value due to their short term to maturity. Marketable securities are valued using Level 2 inputs.
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 policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s accounts receivable includes $728,967 due from one major customer. The customer is of low credit risk and none of the balance is past due. The Company’s cash is held in large Canadian financial institutions and is not exposed to significant credit risk.
Interest risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to limited interest rate risk.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to raise the required capital through future equity or debt issuances. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the directors are actively involved in the review, planning, and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.
Foreign exchange risk
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian Dollar and major transactions are transacted in Canadian Dollars and US Dollars. The Company maintains a US Dollar bank account in Canada to support the cash needs of its operations. Management believes that the foreign exchange risk related to currency conversion is minimal and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.
