Aumento Capital IX Corp. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 and For The Period from the Date of Incorporation (February 16, 2021) to September 30, 2021 (in Canadian Dollars)
1. INCORPORATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Aumento Capital IX Corp. (the "Corporation") was incorporated under the Ontario Business Corporations Act on February 16, 2021 and is a Capital Pool Company as defined in the Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) Corporate Finance Manual (the “Manual”). The principal business of the Corporation will be the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction ("QT"). The Corporation has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than cash held in trust. Given the nature of the activities, no separate segmented information is reported. The Corporation’s continuing operations, as intended, are dependent on its ability to secure equity financing with which it intends to identify and evaluate potential acquisitions of businesses, and once identified and evaluated, to negotiate an acquisition thereof or participation therein subject to receipt of regulatory and, if required, shareholders’ approval.
The proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, with the exception that up to $3,000 per month may be used for reasonable general and administrative expenses of the Corporation. These restrictions apply until completion of a QT by the Corporation as defined under the policies of the Exchange Policy 2.4.
The head office and the registered head office of the Corporation is located at 77 King Street West, Suite 700, Toronto, Ontario, M5K 1G8.
On November 25, 2021 the Board of Directors approved the unaudited condensed interim financial statements for the period from the Date of Incorporation (February 16, 2021) to September 30, 2021.
The global outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus) has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the Canadian, provincial and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Corporation as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place by Canada and other countries to fight the virus.

All shares of the Corporation acquired in the secondary market prior to the completion of a Qualifying Transaction by a Control Person, as defined in the Manual, are required to be deposited in escrow. Subject to certain permitted exemptions, all securities of the Corporation held by principals of the resulting issuer will also be subject to escrow.
1,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation have been held in escrow pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange.
(ii) Initial Public Offering
On June 3, 2021, the Corporation completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) for 1,000,000 common shares (“Common Shares”) at a purchase price of $0.5 per Common Share for gross proceeds of $500,000. Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the “Agent”) acted as the agent for the Offering, in connection with which it received a cash commission equal to 10% of gross proceeds and options to purchase up to 100,000 Common Shares at an exercise price of $0.50 per Common Share, exercisable within sixty months from the date of listing of the Common Shares on the Exchange. The Corporation also paid a corporate finance fee and reimbursed the Agent for legal fees and other reasonable expenses incurred pursuant to the IPO. Cash issuance costs of $80,500 were associated with these issuances and the value attributed to warrants granted to the Agent is $36,931.
Options
Options may be granted for a maximum term of ten years from the date of the grant. They are nontransferable and are exercisable as determined by the Board of Directors when the option is granted. Options expire within 12 months of termination of employment or holding office as director or officer of the Corporation (other than in connection with the completion of the QT – in which case 1 year) and, in the case of death, expire within a maximum period of one year after such death, subject to the expiry date of the option.
Any options granted, and any shares issued upon exercise of options, prior to the Corporation’s completion of a QT will be subject to escrow restrictions. In addition to the foregoing, any options with an exercise price less than the offering price per Common Share in the IPO will be subject to the same escrow release schedule as the Common Shares issued for a price less than the offering price per Common Share in the IPO.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
Capital Management
The Corporation's objective when managing capital is to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Corporation includes equity, comprised of share capital and accumulated deficit, in the definition of capital.
The Corporation's primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has sufficient cash resources to fund the identification and evaluation of potential acquisitions. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue these plans, the Corporation may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or by securing strategic partners.
The proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, with the exception that up to $3,000 per month may be used for reasonable general and administrative expenses of the Corporation. These restrictions apply until completion of a QT by the Corporation as defined under the policies of the Exchange Policy 2.4.

There were no other transactions with related parties and no remuneration was paid to key management personnel from the date of incorporation (February 16, 2021) to September 30, 2021.
6. QUALIFYING TRANSACTION
On July 26, 2021, the Corporation announced they have entered into a letter of intent dated July 20, 2021 with Pluribus Technologies, whereby the Corporation acquires all of the issued and outstanding securities of Pluribus, with such acquisition constituting a reverse take-over of the Corporation.
