1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
ImagineAR Inc. ("the Company") is a public company domiciled in Canada incorporated in British Columbia under the laws of the Business Corporation Act (BC, Canada) on October 11, 2011. On April 17, 2019, the Company was continued under the Canadian Business Corporations Act. The Company's head office is located at #510 – 580 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 3B6.
The Company's core business is to deliver engaging and interactive content to users through a cloud-based augmented reality platform. The Company's shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") under the ticker symbol "IP".
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as at, and for the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Company" and individually as "Company entities").
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. Continued operations of the Company are dependent on the Company's ability to receive financial support, complete additional equity financing, and generate profitable operations in the future. Management believes it will be successful in raising the necessary funding to continue operations however; there is no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or ability to raise funds.
These events and conditions create a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include the adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.
2. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT AND PRESENTATION
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, approved by the Board of Directors on January 27, 2021 have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). and in accordance with International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The policies applied in these consolidated statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of November 30, 2020. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending August 31, 2021 could result in restatements of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. None of these standards are expected to have a significant effect on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements
2. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT AND PRESENTATION (continued)
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments measured at fair value. In addition, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. The functional and presentation currency of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Basis of consolidation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, which is controlled by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial information of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries listed in the following table:
| Name ofSubsidiary | Country ofIncorporation | Ownership Interestat November 30,2020 | Ownership Interestat August 31,2020 | Principal Activity |

| Holdings Inc. | Canada | 66.67% | 66.67% | Movie production |
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise stated.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Services income is recognized when the services have been provided and control of the deliverable has been transferred to the customer. Revenue collected prior to it being earned is recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as the related services are provided. Management estimates the pace of revenue recognition based on contract milestones and determination of when it considers the revenue to be earned. The Company's arrangements with customers are evidenced by contracts with customers and/or purchase orders.
Subscription and licensing income are recognized straight-line over the term of the contracts.
Financial instruments
The Company recognizes a financial asset or financial liability on the consolidated statement of financial position when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value, and are derecognized either when the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or when cash flows expire. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and are derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.
A write-off of a financial asset (or a portion thereof) constitutes a derecognition event. Write-off occurs when the Company has no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows on a financial asset.
Classification and measurement
The Company determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified according to the following measurement categories. Those to be measured subsequently at fair value, either through profit or loss ("FVTPL") or through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI"); or those to be measured subsequently at amortized cost.
The classification and measurement of financial assets after initial recognition at fair value depends on the business model for managing the financial asset and the contractual terms of the cash flows. 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 of principal and interest on the principal outstanding, are generally measured at amortized cost at each subsequent reporting period. All other financial assets are measured at their fair values at each subsequent reporting period, with any changes recorded through profit or loss or through other comprehensive income (which designation is made as an irrevocable election at the time of recognition).
| Classification and measurement | |
|---|---|
| Financial Assets and Liabilities | IFRS 9 |
| Cash | Fair value through profit and loss |
| Receivables | Amortized cost |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost |
| Subscriptions received in advance | Amortized cost |
| Loan payable | Amortized cost |
| Convertible debentures –liability component | Amortized cost |
The classification and measurement bases of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:
The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of a financial asset or financial liability classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost of FVOCI are included in the fair value of the instrument on initial recognition. Transaction costs for financial assets and financial liabilities classified at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial instruments (continued)
Classification
The Company's financial assets consists of cash, which is classified and measured at FVTPL and receivables which are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company's financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loan payable, which are classified and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is reported in profit or loss.
Impairment
The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with any financial assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition based on all information available, and reasonable and supportable forward-looking information.
Assets carried at amortized cost
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on assets carried at amortized cost has occurred, the amount of the loss is measured as 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 asset is then reduced by the amount of the impairment. The amount of the loss is recognized in profit or loss.
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 to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the cost of acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses and is not subject to amortization. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Goodwill is allocated to a cash generating unit ("CGU"), or group of CGUs, which is the lowest level within an entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, which is not higher than an operating segment. Impairment is tested by comparing the recoverable amount of goodwill assigned to a CGU or group of CGUs to its carrying value.
Intangible assets
Identifiable intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is valued at fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in profit or loss.
Intangible assets with indefinite life are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. These intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if there are indicators that intangible assets may be impaired as described below.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At each consolidated statement of financial position date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its nonfinancial assets to determine whether there is an indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Convertible debentures
The host debt liability, equity conversion feature and other (when applicable) components of convertible debentures are presented separately on the consolidated statement of financial position, starting from initial recognition. The Company determines the carrying amount of the financial liability by discounting the stream of future payments at the prevailing market rate for a similar liability of comparable credit status and providing substantially the same cash flows. The liability component is then increased by accretion of the discounted amounts to reach the face value of the convertible notes at maturity which is recorded in profit or loss as accretion expense.
The carrying amount of other components (when applicable), such as warrants, is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The carrying amount of the equity component is calculated by deducting the carrying amount of the financial liability and the carrying amounts of any other components (when applicable) from the amount of the convertible debentures, and is presented in equity as an equity component of convertible debentures. The equity component is not remeasured subsequent to initial recognition, except on conversion or expiry.
The transaction costs are allocated between liability, equity and other (when applicable) components, on a prorata basis according to their carrying amounts.
Foreign currency translation
The Canadian dollar is the functional and reporting currency of the Company. All foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange at the consolidated statement of financial position date and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates, unless such items are measured at fair value, in which case they are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured. Income and expenses are translated at the rates approximating those at the transaction dates. Gains and losses arising from translation of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.
Provisions
Provisions are recorded when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the consolidated statement of financial position date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract.
The Company had no material provisions as at November 30, 2020 and 2019.
Valuation of equity units issued in private placements
The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first attributes value to the shares based on their quoted trading price at issuance, and the residual amount, if any, is attributed to the value of the warrants. Any fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded within the warrant reserve.
Share-based payment transactions
In situations where equity instruments are issued to non‐employees and the fair value of some or all of the goods or services received by the Company as consideration cannot be reliably estimated, they are measured at fair value of the share‐based payment. Otherwise, share‐based payments are measured at the fair value of goods or services received.
The fair value of stock options granted to employees is recognized as an expense over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in the equity settled share-based payments reserve account. 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, including directors of the Company. The fair value includes a forfeiture estimate, which is revised for actual forfeitures in subsequent periods.
The fair value is measured at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each consolidated statement of financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of stock options that are expected to vest.
Share-based payment transactions (continued)
All share options and warrants are included in reserves, a component of shareholders' equity, until exercised. Upon exercise, the consideration received plus the amounts in reserves attributable to the options and/or warrants being exercised are credited to share capital.
Where the terms of an equity‐settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized for any modification which increases the total fair value of the share‐based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.
Share consideration
The fair value of shares issued as purchase consideration is based upon the trading price of those shares on the CSE on the date of grant to issue shares as determined by the Board of Directors. Other equity instruments issued as purchase consideration in non-cash transactions are recorded at fair value determined by management using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Income taxes
Income tax on the profit or loss for the period presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.
Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.
Deferred tax provides for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated statements of financial position reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and to the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, it is not recognized.
Loss per share
The basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, unless they have an anti-dilutive effect, such as outstanding stock options and share purchase warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The "treasury stock method" is used for the assumed proceeds upon the exercise of the options and warrants that are used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. During the year ended August 31, 2020, the outstanding stock options and warrants were anti-dilutive.
Right of use asset
The Company recognizes a right of use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right of use assets are subsequently amortized from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right of use asset or the end of the lease term using the straight line method.
Lease liability
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following payments during the lease term: fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), and the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising mainly if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, renewal or termination option, or if there is a revised in substance fixed lease payment.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right of use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right of use asset has been reduced to zero.
Estimates and judgments
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Company's management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results may differ from those estimates and these differences could be material.
i) Carrying values for assets and impairment charges
In the determination of carrying values and impairment charges, management looks at the higher of value in use or fair value less costs to sell in the case of non-financial assets and at objective evidence, significant or prolonged decline of fair value on financial assets indicating impairment. These determinations and their individual assumptions require that management make a decision based on the best available information at each reporting period.
ii) Income taxes and recoverability of potential deferred tax assets
In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets recognized, management makes judgements related to expectations of future taxable income, applicable tax planning opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear or subject to ongoing varying interpretations, it is reasonably possible that changes in these estimates can occur that materially affect the amounts of income tax assets recognized. Also, future changes in tax laws could limit the Company from realizing the tax benefits from the deferred tax assets. The Company reassesses unrecognized income tax assets at each reporting period.
iii) Share-based payments
Management determines costs for share-based payments using market-based valuation techniques. The fair value of the market-based and performance-based share awards are determined at the date of grant using generally accepted valuation techniques. Assumptions are made and judgment used in applying valuation techniques. These assumptions and judgments include estimating the future volatility of the stock price, expected dividend yield, future employee turnover rates and future employee stock option exercise behaviors and corporate performance. Such judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions affect the fair value estimates.
iv) Going-concern assumption
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability in the future to achieve profitable operations and in the meantime, obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities when they come due. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values and these consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
New accounting standards and interpretations
Effective September 1, 2019, the Company adopted the following accounting policies:
Leases
In the current year the Company adopted and applied IFRS 16 Leases (as issued by the IASB in January 2016). IFRS 16 Leases replaces IAS 17, Leases and IFRIC 4, Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, the customer ("lessee") and the supplier ("lessor"). The standard brings most leases onto the statement of financial position for lessees under a single model, eliminating the previous classifications of operating and finance leases. The only exemption to this treatment is for low value leases or lease contracts with a duration of less than one year. This standard results in the recognition of a right of use asset and an accompanying lease liability in the statement of financial position.
The Company has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.The details of accounting policies under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 are disclosed separately.
On initial application, for leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, the Company has elected to record right of use assets based on the corresponding calculated lease liability at September 1, 2019 of $44,998. When measuring lease liabilities for those leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, the Company discounted future lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate as at September 1, 2019.
4. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business. Management considers the Company's capital structure to primarily consist of the components of shareholders' equity.
The Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out future transactions and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess additions to its media business if it feels there is sufficient economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the period presented. The Company and its subsidiaries are not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
5. RECEIVABLES
The receivables balance is comprised of the following items:
| November 30,2020 | August 31,2020 | ||

8. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
On December 1, 2018, intangible assets, comprising a mobile software platform and applications for augmented reality content, were commercially viable and available for use. The mobile software platform and applications are being depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of 2 years.
In addition, the Company acquired a patent portfolio relating to the augmented reality industry in consideration for $50,000 in cash and 5,000,000 shares valued at $425,000 (Note 14). The patent portfolio is being depreciated using the straight-line method over a period of 13 years, its expected useful life.
The Company performs a goodwill impairment test annually on August 31 and whenever there is an indication of impairment. The recoverable amount is measured as its value in use, estimated using discounted cash flows. Management's past experience and future expectations of the business' performance are used to make a best estimate of the expected revenues, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and operating cash flows covering a three year forecast period, and a terminal value using an exit multiple which assumes a potential sale of the Company.
The key assumptions used in performing the impairment test are as follows:
Discount rate:
Management applied a discount rate of 20% in calculating the recoverable amount. This is a pre-tax rate which reflects the time value of money and risk associated with the business. Management has determined its discount rate to reflect the risk of an emerging technology company.
Revenue probability weighting:
Management applied a probability weighting to the expected forecast revenues which reflects the risk of success or failure. Management has determined the probability weighting based on market research.
During the year ended August 31, 2020, the management completed its annual impairment testing for both its finite and indefinite life intangible assets. The recoverable amounts for all tests were based on expected forecast revenues to determine the risk of success or failure. As a result of not meeting forecasted revenue in the current year, management has revised the revenue probability weighting to reflect the uncertainty about the success and future economic benefits of the goodwill and intangible assets, which resulted in a write-down of $5,541,485. There were no tax impacts as a result of the impairment.
9. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES
The payables balance is comprised of the following items:
| November 30,2020 | August 31,2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| Trade payablesRelated parties (Notes17 and 18)Accrued liabilities | $285,913162,95315,820 | $262,648163,09059,710 |
| Total | $464,686 | $485,448 |
During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company:
- i) settled $18,080 of payables in consideration of 361,600 common shares valued at $41,584, which resulted in a loss of $23,504 (Note 17).
- ii) settled $67,800 of payables for $56,500, which resulted in a gain of $11,300.
- iii) settled $71,986 of payables for $52,376, which resulted in a gain of $19,610.
10. DEFERRED REVENUE
During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company entered into a five year $300,000USD licensing agreement to provide its Augmented Reality Platform for the launch of their new line of interactive products featuring social media leaders, athletes and celebrities. During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company has received $45,000USD ($58,923) towards the contract.
During the period ended November 30, 2020, the Company recorded $58,923 as service revenue as it successfully met one of the agreement's key milestone, and discontinued with the agreement.
11. RIGHT OF USE ASSET AND LEASE LIABILITIES
On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company recognized lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as operating leases under IAS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments excluding renewal options as they are not expected to be exercised, discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate as of September 1, 2019. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on September 1, 2019 was 15%
11. RIGHT OF USE ASSET AND LEASE LIABILITIES (continued)
The following is a reconciliation of operating lease commitments to lease obligation in accordance with IFRS 16:
| Total current lease liabilities recognized under IFRS 16 at September1, 2019 | $51,137 |
|---|---|
| Discounted using incremental borrowing rate | (6,139) |
| Total lease liabilities recognized under IFRS 16 at August31, 2020 | $44,998 |
The recognized right of use asset relates to the lease on the Canadian facilities. The change in accounting policy affected the following items in the statement of financial position on September 1, 2019:
- Right of use assets increased by $44,998
- Lease liabilities increased by $44,998
In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the Company used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
- reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous
- elected to account for the payments for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term
- the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
For the three month period ending November 30, 2020, the depreciation of the right of use assets was $6,750. The right of use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
| Right of use asset, September1, 2019 | $44,998 |
|---|---|
| Depreciation of right of use assets | (26,999) |
| Right of use asset, August31, 2020 | 17,999 |
| Depreciation of right of use assets | (6,750) |
| Right of use asset, November 30, 2020 | $11,249 |
As of November 30, 2020, the Company has one agreement that was a lease as defined under IFRS 16. In analyzing the identified agreement, the Company applied the lessee accounting model pursuant to IFRS 16, and considered all of the facts and circumstances surrounding the inception of the contract. Lease liabilities were calculated with a discount rate of 15%.
| Lease Type | Date of Maturity |

16. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS
The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below. There have been no changes to the Company's approach to mitigating risk exposures during the period ended November 30, 2020.
Fair value
The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments based on current interest rates, market value and pricing of financial instruments with comparable terms. Unless otherwise indicated, the carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair market value because of the near maturity of those instruments.
Financial statements measured at fair value on the statements of financial position are summarized in levels of fair value hierarchy as either "Level 1" Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or 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.
Financial instruments measured at fair value on the statements of financial position are summarized in levels of fair value hierarchy as follows:
| November 30, 2020 | August 31, 2020 | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||||||
| AssetCash | $ | 4,232,861 | $ | - | $ | - | $4,659,437 | $ | - | $ | - |
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and receivables. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by placing its cash with a high credit quality financial institution in Canada. The receivables that are financial instruments consist of trade receivables. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure it has a planning and budgeting process in place to determine the funds required to support its ongoing operations and capital expenditures. The Company ensures that sufficient funds are raised from private placements to meet its working capital requirements, after taking into account existing cash and expected exercise of share purchase warrants and options. Management believes that it will be successful in raising the necessary funds however, given the current market conditions, management believes that the raising of the required funds will take longer than is normal and will be at prices that may be less than desirable. There are no assurances that additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. As at November 30, 2020, the Company had $464,686 (August 31, 2020 - $485,448) of accounts payable and accrued liabilities due on standard trade payable terms not exceeding 90 days.
16. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS (continued)
Interest risk
Interest risk consists of two components: to the extent that payments made or received on the Company's financial instruments are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk; and to the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rates on the Company's financial instruments the Company is exposed to interest rate fair value risk. The Company has cash balances and no material interest-bearing debt, therefore, interest rate risk is minimal.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's functional and presentation currency is the Canadian dollar. Certain expenditures are transacted in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in these foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar. As at November 30, 2020, the Company has US$1,008,909 included in cash, US$37,749 included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. A 5% change in the exchange rate would result in a $48,558 change on profit or loss.
17. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE WITH RESPECT TO CASH FLOWS
Significant non-cash investing and financing transactions for the period ended November 30, 2020 consisted of:
- i) transfer of fair value of $22,003 from contributed surplus to capital stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options.
- ii) transfer of fair value of $19,161 from contributed surplus to capital stock pursuant to the exercise of warrants.
- iii) transfer of $46,574 from the liability portion and $6,158 from the equity portion of the convertible debenture to capital stock pursuant to the conversion of units (Note 16).
