1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY

Plank Ventures Ltd. (“Plank” or the “Company”) was incorporated on May 1, 2013, under the Business Corporations Act. The Company’s registered and records office is located at 750 West Pender Street, Suite 401, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2T7. Plank is a public company whose shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “PLNK”. The Company invests in business opportunities in the technology arena. The target investments are early-stage start-ups that already have developed a customer and revenue base and are seeking funding for expansion.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the going concern assumption, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at April 30, 2022, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $8,044,176.

The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to develop profitable operations in the future and to raise adequate financing, if necessary. As of April 30, 2022, the Company had a cash balance of $2,395,963 to settle current liabilities of $6,698,808, out of which $3,192,862 are due to related party loans set to mature on December 31, 2022 (Note 13). As of April 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,830,345. Management is of the opinion that the Company has access to available financial capital resources to either raise additional capital or renegotiate maturity of its liabilities to sustain its operations for the foreseeable future and that the going concern assumption is appropriate.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving profitability or maintaining a necessary cash balance to finance operations. These conditions indicate existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, and such adjustments may be material.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue on June 24, 2022 by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Statement of Compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These condensed consolidated interim financial Statements do not include all of the information required for full annual audited consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated audited financial statements of the Company for the years ended July 31, 2021, and 2020.

prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The most significant judgement applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements relate to the carrying value of the Company’s investments (Note 9) and the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets (Note 8). The Company invests in start-up technology companies whose products and services are under development. The successful development and commercialization of these products and services is subject to a high degree of risk. Judgement is applied in the consideration of the fair value of investments at each reporting period.

Management has applied judgments in the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern when preparing its condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended April 30, 2022. Management prepares the condensed consolidated interim financial statements on a going concern basis unless management either intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading or has no realistic alternative but to do so. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into the account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. Management considered a wide range of factors relating to current and expected profitability, current working capital levels, and potential sources of replacement financing.

As a result of the assessment and, as described in Note 1, management concluded the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate based on its cash flow forecast and expectations with respect to access to financing for the next twelve months. Other significant estimates and assumptions were used with respect to the determination of whether a business combination or an asset acquisition took place in the year, the expected life of intangible assets, and the impairment of goodwill.

Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

On October 29, 2020, the Company purchased an additional 777,777 Series B Shares at US$0.90 per Series B Share, or US$699,999 in aggregate. The Company is the only holder of Series B Shares. The holders of Series B Shares have certain protective provisions whereby Votigo must obtain the consent from a majority of the holders of Series B Shares prior to entering into certain transactions. In addition, the Company entered into a voting agreement which gives the Company the right to appoint the majority of the directors of Votigo.

As the Company is the sole owner of Series B shares that have certain protective provisions including the ability to elect the majority of the directors, in accordance with IFRS 10, the Company has control over Votigo.

The investment in Votigo was accounted for as a business combination. In accordance with IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”, the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are measured at their fair value at the acquisition date and the excess value of the consideration above the fair value of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill.

The shares were recorded at fair value of $345,101 based on the market price at the time. As a result, the Company recognized $407,349 as a recovery during the year ended July 31, 2021.

As at April 30, 2022, the Company held 167,409 shares of ESGG, of which 74,050 are unrestricted. The fair value of the unrestricted shares is determined by taking the number of unrestricted shares and multiplying by price per share prevailing on the market at the date closest to date of the financial statements. The fair value of the restricted shares is based on the number of restricted shares multiplied by the price per share prevailing on the market at the date closest to date of the financial statements with a discount applied for lack of marketability (“DLOM”). The DLOM reflects the impact of the restriction period on the fair value of the shares due to the time value of money, the risk of trading price fluctuation, and the opportunity cost of not being permitted to liquidate the restricted shares and use the proceeds in an alternative investment.

During the year ended July 31, 2021, the Company recognized a fair value gain of $115,033 (July 31, 2020 - $Nil) due to change in share price of ESGG and recognized a fair value loss of $173,891 (July 31, 2020 - $Nil) due to the DLOM discount.

The loan was recognized at fair value using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 20% per annum. The difference between the initial carrying amount and proceeds received of $151,866 is the value of the grant. During the period ended April 30, 2022, additional expenses were incurred for which the grant was intended to compensate; as a result, $27,351 was recognized as income (April 30, 2021 - $68,193).

19. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company defines capital as an aggregate of its equity. The Company manages its capital structure to ensure it has sufficient capital to meet its obligations as they come due. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, investments, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, loan receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, related party loans, lease liability and loans payable. As at April 30, 2022, there were no significant differences between the carrying amounts of cash, investments, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, lease liability and loans payable and their estimated fair values. The carrying value of these items approximates their fair values.

Loans payable and lease liability are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate

method.

Fair Value

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the degree to which the inputs used to determine the fair value are observable.

• 25 -

PLANK VENTURES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars) Three and nine months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT’D)

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

• Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; and

• Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

• Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

As of April 30, 2022, the Company classified cash as Level 1 and investments as Level 3. The fair value of investments is determined using various valuation techniques which include comparable company metrics, Black-Scholes Option Pricing Models, and discounted cash flow analysis.

The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes. The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

• Interest rate risk

• Credit risk

• Liquidity risk

• Market risk

• Currency risk

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. All of the Company’s loans payable and investments have a fixed interest rate therefore the Company is not currently exposed to interest rate risk.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s receivable consists of trade receivables, loan receivable and government sales tax receivable. Based on the evaluation of receivables at April 30, 2022, the Company believes that its receivables are collectable and management has determined that the credit risk is moderate.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash to enable settlement of transactions on the due date. Management monitors the Company’s contractual obligations and other expenses to ensure adequate liquidity is maintained.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that investments in shares of publicly traded companies will decline in value as a result of a decline in prices quoted in open markets. The Company is exposed to market risk as it owns shares in ESGG.

Currency Risk

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 is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk as it has sales and contracts denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Company’s reporting currency is the Canadian dollar and as such the Company is exposed to

foreign currency fluctuations on its US dollar denominated financial instruments.

As at April 30, 2022, a 10% change in exchange rates between US dollars and Canadian dollars would impact the Company’s net income by approximately $205,258 (July 31, 2021 – $159,879).

21. SEGMENT INFORMATION
