Condensed Interim Notes to the Financial Statements For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Pioneering Technology Corp. (“Pioneering” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of Ontario, Canada and is an energy smart technology and consumer products company focused on developing advanced thermo-based technology solutions for opportunities that exist to improve the safety and/or energy efficiency of some of the most common household products and appliances.
Pioneering is a public company listed on the Toronto Venture Stock Exchange (TSX-V: PTE). The Company’s principal place of business is located at 7-2400 Skymark Ave., Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, L4W 5K5. The Company`s website is www.pioneeringtech.com.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments, which are measured at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies set out in Note 3.
2.1 Statement of compliance
These financial statements, including comparative balances for the period ended June 30, 2020, have been prepared in accordance with and using policies in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The financial statements were approved and authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company on August 30, 2021.
2.2 Functional currency
The Company’s functional currency is U.S. dollars based on the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The Company’s presentation currency is Canadian dollars.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those for the year ended September 30, 2020 financial statements.
Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are outlined below. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The following are management’s key estimates and judgements:
- Inventory valuation – inventories are valued at the lower of cost, using FIFO, and net realizable value, which requires the Company to utilize estimates related to future sell-through of units and costs necessary to sell the inventory. The Company records a write-down to reflect management’s best estimate of the net realizable value of inventory based on the above factors;

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
-
Trade receivable valuation – expected credit losses associated with accounts receivable require management to assess certain forward looking and macroeconomic factors to determine whether there is a significant increase in credit risk as well as the expected provision on the balance outstanding as at June 30, 2021 (refer to note 6);
-
Functional currency – judgment is required in determining the Company’s functional currency based on the economic environment in which it primarily generates and expends cash;
-
Determination of variable consideration – judgment is exercised in estimating variable consideration which is determined having regard to past experience with respect to the product returned to the Company where the customer maintains a right of return pursuant to the customer contract or where the product has a variable component. Revenue will only be recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved;
-
Recovery of deferred income tax assets – assessing whether the realization of tax losses against future taxable income is probable (refer to note 14);
-
Discount rate of lease liability - the lease liability is measured at the present value of expected lease payments and discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, unless this is not readily determinable, in which case the Company’s incremental borrowing rate on commencement of the lease is used. The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate as the rate of interest it would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment;
-
Warranties – significant judgements and assumptions may be involved in the determination of future obligations associated with product sales recognized in the current year. Additionally, management has assessed that all warranties associated with products sold are “assurance-type” warranties, as defined within IFRS 15, and therefore, recognized and measured in accordance with IAS 37, Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets;
-
Useful lives of assets - significant estimates are involved in the determination of the useful lives of property and equipment and patents and intangible assets to determine their expected depreciation and amortization rates.
The Company has also assessed the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the estimates and judgments described above. Although the Company expects pandemic related disruptions to continue during the future quarters, the Company believes that the long-term estimates and assumptions do not require significant revisions. However, given the uncertainty of the pandemic at this time, revisions may be required in future reporting periods to the extent that the negative impacts on the Company’s operations arising from the pandemic continue or worsen. Any such revisions could result in a material impact on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

4. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company defines capital as total shareholders’ equity and long-term debt. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the growth and development of its operations and to bring new products to market. 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. The Company will continue to assess new opportunities and seek to acquire an interest in growth situations if it feels there is sufficient economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.
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 in the Company's approach to capital management during the period ended June 30, 2021.
5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments, by classification, comprise the following:
| Fair value hierarchy | June 30, 2021 | September 30, 2020 | September 30, 2020 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Financial assets | |||||
| Amortized cost | |||||

| Trade payables and accrued liabilities | 1,015,899 | 1,731,888 | |||
| Fair value through profit or loss | |||||
| Derivative liability | Level 2 | - | 1,236 |
A summary of the Company's risk exposures as it relates to financial instruments is reflected below:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily from trade receivable) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
Credit risk relates to cash and trade receivable and arises from the possibility that any counterparty to an instrument fails to perform. The Company has adopted a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Company’s standard payment terms and conditions are offered. The Company’s exposure to credit risk with its customers is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. All of the Company’s customers are located in either Canada or the United States. When available, the Company reviews credit bureau ratings, bank accounts and financial information for each new customer. As at June 30, 2021, the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk was the carrying value of cash and trade receivables.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT’D)
Trade and other receivables
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The company establishes a representative estimate of expected credit losses using the simplified approach.
The Company’s trade receivables are concentrated among customers in the distribution and retail industry. As at June 30, 2021, four (2020 - two) customers accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. In total, these customers accounted for 78% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance as at June 30, 2021 (2020 – 65%).
Financial instruments and cash deposits
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company's treasury function in accordance with the Company's policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counter party.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company cannot meet a demand for cash or fund its obligations as they become due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities as they become due. The Company is growing and in order to meet its short and longer-term working capital requirements, the Company will attempt, if necessary, to secure further financing to ensure that those obligations are properly discharged.
Operationally, the Company manages its liquidity by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual gross profit, expenses, and cash flows from operations.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and/or stock market movements (price risk). Market risks material to Pioneering include the following:
Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on its Canadian dollar (CAD) denominated transactions and balances.
At present the Company has no plans in place to hedge its foreign exchange exposures. As the Company has expenditures and sales in both USD and CAD, the Company realizes the benefit of a partial natural hedge against this risk. The Company’s CAD monetary balances consist of the following:
| June 30, 2021 | September 30, 2020 | September 30, 2020 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash | $ | 88,104 |
$ | 86,446 |
| Trade and other receivables | 144,663 | 167,239 | ||
| Tradepayables and accrued liabilities | 771,264 | 1,039,488 |
A sensitivity analysis is presented below on its exposure to foreign currency risk on the CAD.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT’D)
Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from fluctuations in the bank’s prime rate related to its bank indebtedness. With all other factors held constant, a 1% fluctuation in the bank’s prime rate would not have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings.
Sensitivity analysis – foreign exchange risk
Based on management’s knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes the following movements are reasonably possible over a one-year period. The Company's operating activities are substantially denominated in both Canadian and US dollars. The Company's funds are kept in CAD and USD with a major Canadian Financial Institution.
The table below summarizes the effects on foreign exchange gains and losses as a result of a 10% change in the value of the foreign currencies where the Company has significant exposure. The analysis assumes that other variables remain constant.

18. COVID-19 PANDEMIC & GOVERNMENT GRANTS
The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in worldwide emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, including significant restrictions on commercial activity, have caused massive disruption to businesses globally, resulting in a broad-based and global economic slowdown.
The Company has also introduced its own measures, procedures, and protocols to foster the health and safety of its employees, vendors, and customers. These measures are based on the Company’s health and safety policies as well as the recommendations from public health authorities. These enhanced protocols include travel restrictions, workplace hygiene practices, employee case tracking, additional personal protective equipment, limited access to facilities, and alternative work options for employees where possible.
The Pandemic has exposed the Company’s operations to various risks which include but are not limited to, delay in customer shipments, increase in operating costs, interruption of project work, credit risk associated with customer non-payment, access to financing and change in the timing of cash flows.
During the period ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s operations continued to be significantly impacted. The extent to which COVID-19 may further impact the Company’s operations, its financial position, and performance remains uncertain, and will depend on further developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, its impact on the Company’s customers, suppliers and employees and actions taken by governments. Management continues to closely monitor the situation in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
