INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of PR Technology Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of PR Technology Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2022, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2022, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit 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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated 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.
Other Matter
The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2021, and for the year then ended were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on May 2, 2022.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements which describes matters and conditions that indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Except for the matters described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our auditor’s report.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
SHIM & Associates LLP Chartered Professional Accountants
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 Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company'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 Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 Company’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 Company’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 consolidated 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
SHIM & Associates LLP Chartered Professional Accountants
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
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 audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Dong H. Shim.

PR Technology Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021
(Express in Canadian dollars)
1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern
PR Technology Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on April 23, 2019, by Certificate of Incorporation issued pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). On May 27, 2021, the Company completed an asset transfer arrangement with a company under common control, whereby it acquired patents of wireless power transfer technology and obtained control over its wholly-owned subsidiary, PRT Korea Inc. As a result of this acquisition, the Company is in the business of research and development of wireless power transfer technology. The Company is listed on Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the ticker of “PRTI”.
The head office and registered office of the Company is located at 555-409 Granville St., Vancouver British Columbia, V6C 1T2.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,084,713 (2021 – working capital surplus of $330,194), and an accumulated deficit of $15,476,085 (2021 - $12,064,811). As such, there is a material uncertainty related to these events and conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity or other financing to meet obligations as they come due. The ability of the Company to be successful in obtaining financing cannot be predicted at the present time. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be material.
2. Basis of Preparation
Statement of compliance
These statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PRT Korea Co., Ltd., which operates its business in South Korea. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Directors on April 3, 2024.
Basis of measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of the Company is Canadian dollars, and all amounts are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. The functional currency of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, PRT Korea Inc., is the Korean Won (KRW).
Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates. Areas where estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

(Express in Canadian dollars)
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies set out below are considered to be significant and have been applied consistently by the Company to all years presented in these consolidated financial statements.
Asset transfer arrangement
The Company has accounted for the asset transfer arrangement as a business combination under common control, since the company receiving the assets, and the company transferring the assets, were owned by the same shareholders, and had the same management at the time of the transfer. As a result, no accounting acquirer can be identified under IFRS 3. The primary reason of the asset transfer was to create an entity that would use the transferred assets to generate business operations. The Company used the pooling of interest’s method to account for the combination, whereby the assets and liabilities acquired were recorded at book value. Share consideration is valued at the fair value of the shares issued with the difference from the book value applied to contributed surplus or charged to deficit.
Cash
Cash consists of cash held in bank accounts. Cash includes cash on deposit in Canadian and Korean National banks and are subject to negligible risk of changes in value.
Inventory
Inventory consists of wireless phone chargers. The amount is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs are assigned to inventory quantities on hand at the consolidated statement of financial position date using the weighted average cost method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of the business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated cost necessary to make the sale.
Provisions for severance liabilities
Provisions and severance liabilities are recognized by the Company when it has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of that obligation. Provisions and severance liabilities are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation. The obligation is not recorded and is disclosed as a contingent liability if it is not probable that an outflow will be required, if the amount cannot be estimated reliably or if the existence of the outflow can only be confirmed by the occurrence of a future event.
Leases
Pursuant to IFRS 16, and the Company recognizes a Right-of-use asset and Lease obligation at the start of most leases utilizing the present value of the lease payments over the appropriate term of the lease. This policy does not apply to leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application or for leases of low value. Lease payments related to these short-term or low-value leases are expensed over the lease term.
Under this policy, appropriate leases are capitalized at the present value of the fixed lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Payments made related to contractual lease obligations are allocated between related interest expense and the reduction of the lease obligations. The Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over the term of the related leases.
Tangible assets
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
Depreciation is recorded to recognize the cost of assets over their useful lives, using the straight-line method over five years.
When a property and equipment asset has significant components with different useful lives, each significant component is depreciated separately.
The estimated useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. Depreciation rates are as follows:
| Class | Useful life |
|---|---|
| Machinery | 5 years |
| Vehicles | 5 years |
| Office equipment | 5years |

(Express in Canadian dollars)
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Tangible assets (continued)
An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss.
Repairs and maintenance costs that do not improve or extend productive life are recognized in consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss in the period in which the costs are incurred.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization will be recognized on a basis and over an estimated useful life which approximates the life of the asset to the Company. The estimated useful life and amortization method will be reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
- Internally generated intangible assets Research and development expenditure
Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
An internally generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognized if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:
-
The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
-
The intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
-
The ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
-
How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
-
The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and,
-
The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
The amount initially recognized for internally generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above.
Where no internally generated intangible asset can be recognized, development expenditure is recognized in consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss in the period in which it is incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, internally generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.
Patents and software
It is the Company’s practice to seek patent protection on processes and products. The Company capitalizes the costs incurred for patent applications filed and pending approval. Patents are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization for patents and software is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 5 years.
The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
De-recognition of intangible assets
An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and are recognized in consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss when the asset is derecognized.

(Express in Canadian dollars)
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company records revenue in accordance with the five steps in IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as follows:
-
Identify the contract with a customer;
-
Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
-
Determine the transaction price, which is the amount the Company expects to be entitled to;
-
Allocate the transaction price among the performance obligations in the contract based on their relative stand-alone selling prices; and
-
Recognize revenue when or as the goods are transferred to the customer.
The Company’s principal sources of revenue are from the sales of wireless cell phone charges and the sales of its Wireless Power Transmission (“WPT”) products.
The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligation is satisfied. This is satisfied when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon delivery to the customer. When the Company receives payment before performance obligations are satisfied, these payments are initially recorded as advances from customers and recognized as revenue in the period when performance obligation is satisfied.
Revenue represents cash received from customers, net of sales taxes, rebates, and discounts and is presented net of an allowance for estimated returns, which is based on historical experience. Shipping fees billed to customers are recorded as revenue, and shipping costs incurred to deliver the goods to the customer from the Company’s warehouse are recognized within operating expenses in the same period the related revenue is recognized.
Taxation
Tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on 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 profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax for the period
Current and deferred tax are recognized inconsolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive loss or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive loss or directly in equity respectively.

Financial assets within the scope of IFRS 9 are classified upon initial recognition based on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets into one of the following categories: amortized cost, fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”) or fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”).
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value and, in the case of a financial asset not at FVTPL, the Company includes transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are recorded as an expense in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
A financial liability is initially classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as measured at FVTPL if it is held for-trading, a derivative, or designated as FVTPL on initial recognition. The classification of a financial liability is irrevocable.
Other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
The recognition of financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same counterparty with substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, it is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. When the terms of an existing financial liability are altered, but the changes are considered non-substantial, it is accounted for as a modification to the existing financial liability. Where a liability is substantially modified it is considered to be extinguished and a gain or loss is recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss based on the difference between the carrying amount of the liability derecognized and the fair value of the revised liability. Where a liability is modified in a non-substantial way, the amortized cost of the liability is remeasured based on the new cash flows and a gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses ("ECLs") on its financial assets measured at amortized cost. Due to the nature of its financial assets, the Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to expected lifetime ECLs. Lifetime ECLs are the anticipated ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial asset. ECLs are a probabilityweighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the related financial asset.
The Company does not have any financial assets that contain a financing component.
The Company has classified its financial instruments’ fair values based on the required three-level hierarchy:
-
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and 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, such as discounted cash flows methods.
The fair value hierarchy level at which a fair value measurement is categorized is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Impairment
Financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of the allowance or provision for impairment account. Such a provision is established when there is reasonable expectation that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due. When a receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss.
For financial assets measured at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
Non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual CGUs, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of CGUs for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. The company has only one CGU which is the wireless power transfer technology.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, limited such that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or CGU) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss.
Share capital
In situations where the Company issues units, the value of units is bifurcated and the value of warrants is included as a separate reserve for warrants of the Company’s equity. The consideration from the issuance of units are allocated between common shares and warrants on a pro-rated basis using the relative fair value method. The fair value of the common shares is determined using the fair value of the share price at the date of issuance of the units. The fair value of the warrants is determined using Black-Scholes.

Share-based compensation and other share-based payments
The Company’s share option plan allows the Company to grant options to its employees and consultants. The fair value of options granted is recognized as a share-based payment expense with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee.
The fair value for employee options is measured at grant date and each tranche is recognized on a graded-vesting basis over the period during which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that are expected to vest.
Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received. However, if the fair value cannot be estimated reliably, the share-based payment transaction is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the date the non-employee provides the goods or the services.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share represents the loss for the period, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share represents the loss for the period, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of dilutive shares resulting from the exercise of stock options or conversion of preferred shares where the inclusion of these would not be anti-dilutive.
Foreign currency transactions
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars. Under IFRS, the Canadian dollar (“CAD”) is the functional currency of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, PRT Korea Inc., the functional currency is Korean Won (“KRW”).
Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries with a functional currency in Korean Won are translated at the period-end exchange rates, and the results of its operations are translated at average exchange rates for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (income) in shareholders’ equity. Additionally, foreign exchange gains and losses related to certain intercompany loans that are permanent in nature are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets carried at amortized cost are assessed at each reporting date on whether they are credit impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
The Company applies expected credit loss approach in determining provisions for financial assets carried at amortized cost. The Company has elected to measure loss allowances for trade receivables and contract assets at an amount equal to lifetime Expected Credit Losses. The approach that the Company has taken for trade receivables is a provision matrix approach where by life time expected credit losses are recognized based on aging characterization and credit worthiness of the franchisee.
4. Accounting Estimates and Judgments
In the application of the Company's accounting policies management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses for the years presented. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant, the results of which form the basis of the valuation of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years.
Significant estimates
Critical accounting estimates are those that require management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate or assumption is made. Critical accounting estimates are also those that could potentially have a material impact on the Company’s financial results where a different estimate or assumption is used. The significant area of estimation uncertainty is:

4. Accounting Estimates and Judgments ( continued)
Useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment
The determination of the useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment requires managements estimate.
Impairment of non-financial assets
The determination of whether indicators of impairment exist is based on management’s judgment of whether there are internal and external factors that would indicate that a non-financial asset is impaired. The recoverable amounts used for impairment calculations require estimates of future net cash flows related to the assets or CGU’s, probability of successful contract proposals and estimates of discount rates applied to these cash flows.
Share-based payments
Compensation expense for share-based compensation granted is measured at the fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The critical assumptions used under the option valuation model at the grant date are: forfeiture rate; expected time to exercise in years; expected dividend yield, and volatility.
Provision for severance liabilities
The Company accrues severance benefits for employees of its Korean subsidiary. Pursuant to the Korean Labor Law, eligible employees with one or more years of service are entitled to severance payments upon the termination of their employment based on their length of service and pay rate.
The Company recognizes the defined severance benefits obligation in the consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding adjustment to operating expenses and “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”. The obligations are measured annually, or more frequently if there is a remeasurement event, based on the Company’s measurement date utilizing various assumptions and methodologies. The Company uses certain assumptions including, but not limited to, the selection of the: (i) discount rates; (ii) salary growth rates; and (iii) certain employee-related factors such as turnover, retirement age and mortality. The Company reviews its assumptions and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when appropriate.
Judgements
Judgements are used in situations when there is a choice and/or assessment required by management. The following are critical judgements apart from those involving estimations, that management has made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have a significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.
Going concern
Significant judgments used in the preparation of these financial statements relate to the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has applied judgments in the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern when preparing its financial statements. Management prepares the financial statements on a going concern basis unless management either intends to liquidate the entity or has no realistic alternative but to do so. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into 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. As a result of the assessment, management concluded the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate.
Contingencies
Management uses judgement to assess the existence of contingencies. By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Management also uses judgement to assess the likelihood of the occurrence of one or more future events.

5. Asset Transfer
On April 30, 2021, the Company entered an asset transfer agreement with Power Republic Corp. and PR Korea, LTD. Per the agreement, on closing date of May 27, 2021, the Company issued 10,720,000 common shares, and acquired cash, shares in PRT Korea Inc., and intangible assets (the “Asset Transfer”).
Upon closing of this transaction, the Company cancelled its 10 common shares that were outstanding.
The Company determined that Power Republic Corp. and PR Korea LTD were under common control at the time of the transfer. As a result, the assets transferred to the Company were recorded at book value. The shares issued for consideration, were valued at fair value.
The asset transfer was as follows:
| The asset transfer was as follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Shares issued for consideration(10,720,000 shares) | $ | 4,399,488 |
| $ | 4,399,488 | |

| Patents | 1,135,609 | |
| Capital stock of PRT Korea Inc. | 1,559,304 | |
| $ | 4,194,913 |
The value of the share consideration was based on the subscription offering to an arm’s length party.
As this was a transaction under common control, and the net assets acquired were less than the consideration paid, the difference between the share consideration and net assets acquired of $204,575 was charged to deficit within the statement of shareholders’ equity.

15. Financial Instruments and Risk Management
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, trade payables and accrued liabilities and provision for severance liabilities. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short period to maturity. The carrying amounts of the long-term liabilities approximate fair value as these liabilities were discounted using market rates.
IFRS establishes a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs relative to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair values of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 of the hierarchy are determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Fair value of assets and liabilities in Level 2 are determined using inputs other than quoted prices for which all significant outputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Fair value of assets and liabilities in Level 3 are determined based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The Company has categorized its financial instruments into one of three Classification of financial instruments per category:
| Financial Instrument | Classification and measurement |
|---|---|
| Cash | FVTPL |
| Receivables | Amortized Cost |
| Trade payables and accrued liabilities | Amortized Cost |
| Provision for severance liabilities | FVTPL |
Cash is recorded at fair value using level 1 inputs.
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. The Company is exposed to credit, liquidity, and market risk because of holding certain financial instruments. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance.
Risk Management is carried out by senior management.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises when one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge its obligation.
The maximum exposure of financial assets to credit risk relate to cash and receivables.
Receivables and other current assets are dispersed to various customers. Cash is held with major Canadian and Korean financial institutions and as a result management considers credit risk to be low.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company generally relies on funds generated from operations and credit facilities to provide sufficient liquidity to meet budgeted operating requirements and to supply capital to increase the development of its technology services.
The Company has sufficient working capital to meet obligations as they come due provided long-term debt holder does not demand repayment.
The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due.
