Independent Auditor's Report
==> picture [104 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
To the Shareholders of POCML 7 Inc.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of POCML 7 Inc. (the "Corporation"), which comprise the statements of financial position as at September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 and the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2023 and the period from the date of incorporation (December 31, 2021) to September 30, 2022, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as at September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2023 and for the period from the date of incorporation (December 31, 2021) to September 30, 2022 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Corporation in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audits of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audits of the financial statements of the current period. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audits of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Corporation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Corporation’s financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audits and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audits.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audits resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Brock Stroud.

1. INCORPORATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
POCML 7 Inc. (the “Corporation”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on December 31, 2021 and is a Capital Pool Corporation as defined in the Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). 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"), as defined under the policies of the Exchange. The Corporation has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than cash and cash equivalents and interest receivable. 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.
The head office and the registered head office of the Corporation is located at 130 King Street West, Suite 2210, Toronto, Ontario M5X 1E4.
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on January 29, 2024.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of Compliance
The financial statements, including comparatives, 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 Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss (“FVPTL”), which are stated at their fair value. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the entire period presented in these financial statements.
Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (“CAD”), which is the Corporation’s functional and presentation currency.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from those estimates used financial statements. A key source of measurement uncertainty is stock-based compensation. Determining the fair value of equity-settled stock-based compensation awards at the grant date requires estimating the expected term of stock options, the expected volatility of the Corporation’s stock, the expected dividends and the number of stock-based awards that are expected to be forfeited.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Corporation considers all highly liquid instruments which are either cashable or mature within three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
Share Capital
Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of shares are recognized as a deduction from equity.
Financial Instruments
Recognition
The Corporation recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities on the date the Corporation becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Classification
The Corporation classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities in the following measurement categories: i) those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss, and ii) those to be measured at amortized cost. The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial liabilities are classified as those to be measured at amortized cost unless they are designated as those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.
The Corporation reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.
The Corporation has implemented the following classifications: Cash and Cash Equivalents are classified as assets at fair value and any period change in fair value is recorded in profit or loss and interest receivable is classified as amortized cost.
Measurement
All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition, plus, in case of a financial asset tor financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments or principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of the subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets including equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods, with any changes taken through profit or loss and other comprehensive income (irrevocable election at the time of recognition).
Additional fair value measurement disclosure includes classification of financial instrument fair values in a fair value hierarchy comprising three levels reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements which are as follows:
Level 1: Valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Valuations based on directly or indirectly observable inputs in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted interest or currency exchange rates; and
Level 3: Valuations based on significant inputs that are not derived from observable market data, such as discounted cash flow methodologies based on internal cash flow forecasts.
Cash and Cash Equivalents are a level 1 financial instrument measured at fair value on the statements of financial position.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income Taxes
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense. Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is recognized and measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or payable to the taxation authorities based on the income tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and includes any adjustment to taxes payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognized on any temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable earnings. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized and the liability is settled.
The effect of a change in the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates is recognized in net earnings and comprehensive income or in equity depending on the item to which the adjustment relates.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent future recovery is probable. At each reporting period end, deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable earnings will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Share-based Payments
The Corporation uses a fair value-based method of accounting for stock options and warrants granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model on the date of grant, with assumptions for risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected forfeiture and life of the options or warrants. The cost is measured at the date of grant and each tranche is recognized on a graded-vesting basis over the applicable vesting period as an increase in sharebased payments expense and the contributed surplus reserves account. On the exercise of the stock options and warrants, the proceeds received by the Company, together with the respective amount from the contributed surplus reserves, are credited to share capital.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed similarly to basic loss per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common stock at the average market price during the reporting periods. For the periods presented, this calculation proved to be antidilutive.

Contributed Surplus
The Corporation has established a stock option plan for its directors, officers and consultants under which the Corporation may grant options from time to time to acquire a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares. The exercise price of each option granted under the plan shall be determined by the Board of Directors.
Options may be granted for a maximum term of ten years from the date of the grant. They are nontransferable and expire within 90 days of termination of employment or holding office as director or officer of the Corporation and, in the case of death, expire one year thereafter.

The value attributed to these warrants is $9,450.
On November 16, 2022, prior to listing, the Corporation granted 1,100,000 options to directors and officers, which are exercisable within five years from the date of grant at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, vesting immediately.

5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE 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 issued common shares, 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.

A reconciliation of combined federal and provincial corporate income taxes of statutory rates of 26.5% and the Corporation’s effective income tax expense is as follows:
| 2023 | 2022 | |

At September 30, 2023, the Corporation has non–capital losses for income tax purposes of approximately $70,982 which can be carried forward to be applied against future taxable income. These losses expire to the extent unutilized against future taxable income in 2043. The Corporation has not recorded deferred tax assets related to these unused carry forward losses as it is not probable that future taxable profits will be available against which these can be deducted.
