Principal Technologies Inc. (Formerly Connaught Ventures Inc.) Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) (Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
The Company is domiciled in Canada and was incorporated on April 3, 2018 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. The address of the Company’s registered and records office is 25th Floor, 700 W Georgia St., Vancouver, B.C., V7Y 1B3.
On August 4, 2021, the Company completed a qualifying transaction (the “Qualifying Transaction”) pursuant to the policies of the TSX-V and commenced trading as a Tier 2 Life Sciences Issuer on TSXV on August 6, 2021 under the ticker symbol “PTEC” (Note 3). The Company is currently building a diverse portfolio of investments in healthcare technology companies with a focus on those with global distribution potential and have intellectual property capable of enhancing medical treatment quality and efficiency, cost efficiency, optimization of the patient pathway, and implementation of point of care technologies.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation. While the Company has positive working capital of $1,142,983 at October 31, 2021, it has a deficit of $835,238 on this date and has not generated any revenue, creating significant doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s capacity to identify additional sources of capital and to raise sufficient resources in order to fund on-going expenditures and the Company’s investment plan. Although management has been successful in the past, there is no assurance these initiatives will be successful in the future. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These conditions cast significant doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
COVID-19 uncertainty
To the date of this report, the spread of COVID-19 has severely impacted many local economies around the globe. In many countries, including Canada, businesses are being forced to cease or limit operations for long or indefinite periods of time. Measures taken to contain the spread of the virus, including travel bans, quarantines, social distancing, and closures of non-essential services have triggered significant disruptions to businesses worldwide, resulting in an economic slowdown. Global stock markets have also experienced great volatility. Governments and central banks have responded with monetary and fiscal interventions to stabilize economic conditions. These factors, among others, could have a significant impact on the Company’s operations.
The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the effectiveness of government and central bank responses, remains unclear at this time. It is not possible to reliably estimate the duration and severity of these consequences, as well as their impact on the financial position and results of the Company for future periods.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
(a) Statement of compliance
The Company prepares its annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and, except as described below, they follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company’s most recent annual financial statements. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual financial statements.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)
- (b) Basis of measurement
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value. In addition, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
- (c) Functional and presentation currency
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries, Principal Technologies Capital Management GmbH and E&E CRO Consulting GmbH is the Euro.
- (d) Basis of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries as follows:
| Incorporation | Functional currency | Percentage owned | |
|---|---|---|---|
| As at October 31, 2021 | |||
| Principal Technologies Capital | Austria | EURO | 100% |
| Management GmbH | |||
| E&E CRO Consulting GmbH | Austria | EURO | 80% |
Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Non-controlling interest in the net assets of the consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Company’s equity. The non-controlling interest consists of the non-controlling interest’s portion of net assets and profit or loss.
- (e) Significant accounting judgments and estimates
Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.
Critical judgment
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make judgments regarding the going concern of the Company as discussed in Note 1.
Classification of an acquisition as a business combination or an asset acquisition requires the Company to make judgement as discussed in Note 3.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)
- (e) Significant accounting judgments and estimates (Continued)
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be significant. Significant estimates made by management affecting the Company’s consolidated financial statements include:
Business combinations
In a business combination, all identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired are recorded at their fair values. One of the most significant estimates relates to the determination of the fair value of these assets and liabilities. For any intangible asset identified, depending on the type of intangible asset and the complexity of determining its fair value, an independent valuation expert or management develop the fair value, using approximate valuation techniques, which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future cash flows. The evaluations are linked closely to the assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of the assets concerned and the discount rate applied. Certain fair values may be estimated at the acquisition date pending confirmation or completion of the valuation process. When provisional values are used in accounting for a business combination, they may be adjusted retrospectively in subsequent periods. However, the measurement period will last for up to one year from the acquisition date.
Deferred tax assets & liabilities
The estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income prior to expiry of those deductions. Management assesses whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. To the extent that management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize future tax deductions changes, the Company would be required to recognize more or fewer deferred tax assets, and future income tax provisions or recoveries could be affected. The measurement of deferred income tax provision is subject to uncertainty associated with the timing of future events and changes in legislation, tax rates and interpretations by tax authorities.
(f) Recent accounting standards
Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the IASB or IFRIC. There are no new standards which the Company reasonably expects are applicable to the Company and will significantly impact the Company.

3. ACQUISITION OF E&E
On June 11, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with respect to the acquisition of an 80% interest (the “Investment”) in E&E CRO Consulting GmbH (“E&E”). E&E is a global contract research organization (“CRO”) based in Vienna, Austria, that specializes in tailored project management of international scale clinical studies primarily related to medical- device technologies.
On August 4, 2021, the Company completed the Investment. The Investment constitutes the Company’s Qualifying Transaction pursuant to the policies of the TSX-V. The Company commenced trading as a Tier 2 Life Sciences Issuer on TSXV on August 6, 2021 under the ticker symbol “PTEC”.
The Investment was structured as a share acquisition pursuant to which the Company will acquire 80% of the issued and outstanding securities of E&E in accordance with the Investment Agreement. As consideration for the Investment, the Company will pay the shareholder of E&E:
-
i. aggregate upfront consideration of Euro €100,000 ($147,880) (paid) (Note 6); plus
-
ii. 1,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company, (each, a “Common Share”) if E&E earns Euro €125,000 in profit before tax from the period from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022; plus
-
iii. 250,000 common shares if E&E earns Euro €250,000 in profit before tax from the period from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022; plus
-
iv. 250,000 common shares if E&E earns Euro €500,000 in profit before tax from the period from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023.
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the recognized amount of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed, all measured as of the acquisition date. Any excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the assumed consideration paid is recognized as a gain in the consolidated statements of net loss. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
Judgment is used in determining whether an acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition. Judgement is also required to assess whether the amounts paid on achievement of milestones represents contingent consideration or compensation for post-acquisition services. Judgment is also required to assess whether contingent consideration should be classified as equity or a liability. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as a liability is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in net income (loss).
In accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations, the Investment meets the definition of a business combination and, accordingly, the assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed have been recorded at their respective estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Non-controlling interests (“NCI”) are recognized at the NCI’s proportionate share of E&E’s net assets. The Company has significant influence on overall operations of E&E and hence the results of E&E are included in the consolidated statements of net loss.

7. LEASE LIABILITY
As at October 31, 2021, the lease liability consisted of a vehicle lease with a lease period ending April 2022.

Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from the potential for non-performance by counterparties of contractual financial obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk on cash and amounts receivable.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
Financial Instrument Risk Exposure
Liquidity Risk
At October 31, 2021, the Company had cash of $1,128,750 to settle current liabilities of $90,330, and had working capital of $1,142,983. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to raise the required capital through future equity issuances (Note 1). The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required by operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning, and approval of significant expenditures and commitments. Liquidity risk is assessed as high.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates and equity prices:
I. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk consists of two components:
-
(a) To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk.
-
(b) To the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rate in the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk.
Due to the short-term nature of the Company’s financial instruments fluctuations in market rates do not have a significant impact on estimated fair values as of October 31, 2021. Future cash flows from interest income on cash will be affected by interest rate fluctuations. The Company manages interest rate risk by maintaining an investment policy that focuses primarily on the preservation of capital and liquidity. Interest rate risk is assessed as low.
II. Equity Price Risk
Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. The Company closely monitors individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company. The Company is not exposed to price risk.
13. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company’s primary source of funds comes from the issuance of share capital. The Company does not use other sources of financing that require fixed payments of interest and principal as the Company does not generate cash flow from current operations. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
Although the Company has been successful at raising funds in the past through the issuance of share capital, it is uncertain whether it will be able to continue this financing due to uncertain economic conditions. The Company believes that it will be able to raise sufficient funds from share issuances to fund its working capital for the coming year. There have been no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the period.
