Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the 9 Months ended September 30, 2021
1) Operations
Delta CleanTech Inc. (“ Delta ” or “ Corporation ”) was incorporated on December 22, 2020, under the Business Corporations Act Alberta and is domiciled in Canada. The registered office of the Corporation is located at #2308 Palisade Dr. SW, Calgary, AB, T2V 3V1.
The principal activity of the Corporation consists of four main areas: 1) CO2 capture; 2) hydrogen production; 3) solvent and ethanol purification; and 4) carbon credit certification and trading (collectively the “ Business Sectors ”). These Business Sectors will be accomplished by capitalizing on the Corporation’s patented process design intellectual property (“ IP ”), as well as its CO2 capture and related solvent IP, whose focused mandate will be on positioning itself as a leading technology provider in the clean energy technology sector.
2) Significant event
On January 27, 2021, Delta completed the purchase of the clean energy business assets (the “ Clean Energy Assets ”) of HTC Purenergy Inc. (“ HTC ”) pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (“ Asset Purchase Agreement ”). The Clean Energy Assets consist of all of the IP and certain contractual agreements for the operation of HTC’s CO2 capture systems and reclaimer systems. The Asset Purchase Agreement reflects a deemed purchase price of $4,000,000 however as a result of the accounting treatment of the Delta common shares (“ Common Shares ”) issued, the financial statements reflect a value of $3,000,000 for the 20,000,000 Common Shares issued as consideration (“ Purchase Price ”). The fair value of the assets and Purchase Price has been measured provisionally in the interim financial statements and may be valued differently in the annual financial statements of the Corporation to be filed following the completion of the year ending December 31, 2021 (“ Asset Purchase ”).
The Purchase Price was paid by the Corporation by the issuance of 20,000,000 Common Shares (“ Consideration Shares ”) to HTC. The Consideration Shares are subject to a pooling arrangement with a release schedule over a period of 24 months whereby 10% of the Consideration Shares were released on August 19, 2021, when the Common Shares became listed on a recognized stock exchange in Canada (“ Liquidity Event ”), 10% of the Consideration Shares will be released every three months following the date of the Liquidity Event and the final 20% of the Consideration Shares will be released 24 months following the date of the Liquidity Event. The Asset Purchase was conditional upon, among other things, the closing of the Private Placement (as described below). No finder’s fees were payable in connection with the Asset Purchase.
On January 27, 2021, immediately following the closing of the Asset Purchase, the Corporation completed a non-brokered private placement financing (the “ Private Placement ”). The first tranche of the Private Placement comprised of 36,200,000 units of Delta (the “ Units ”) at a price of $0.20 per Unit for gross proceeds of $7,240,000. Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of a common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “ Warrant ”). Each Warrant is exercisable to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.50 for a period of 48 months after its issuance.
On January 29, 2021, the Corporation completed a second tranche of the Private Placement consisting of 2,150,000 Units at a price of $0.20 per Unit for gross proceeds of $430,000. The Corporation paid cash finders
8
fees of $280,050 and issued 1,398,750 finders’ warrants. Each finder warrant entitles the holder to purchase a common share at $0.20 for a period of 48 months after issuance.
On April 16, 2021, the Corporation completed a third tranche of the Private Placement consisting of 173,000 Units at a price of $0.20 per Unit for gross proceeds of $34,600. No finders’ fees were payable under this tranche.
On August 19, 2021, Delta’s Common Shares commenced trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“ CSE ”), under the ticker symbol “DELT”.
On September 23, 2021, Delta’s Common Shares commenced trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“ FSE ”), under the ticker symbol “66C”.
3) Basis of Presentation
a) Statement of Compliance
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 (the “ Financial Statements ”) have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“ IFRS ”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“ IASB ”) and with interpretation of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“ IFRIC ”). These Financial Statements meet the requirements of International Accounting Standard (“ IAS ”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting . No comparative figures have been presented for the comparative nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, because the Corporation was only incorporated on December 22, 2020.
These Financial Statements were authorized for issuance by the audit committee of the Board of Directors (“Board”) November 24 , 2021.
b) Functional Currency
The Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Corporation’s functional currency.
c) Principals of consolidation
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Corporation. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the Financial Statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions are eliminated in preparing the Financial Statements. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
The Financial Statements include the accounts of Delta, consolidated with those of its wholly owned subsidiary CO2 Technologies Pty. Ltd. (“ CO2 Technologies ”) incorporated February 9, 2005, in New South Wales. All inter-company transactions, balances, revenues, and expenses have been eliminated on consolidation.
9
d) Use of Estimates and Judgment
The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income (loss) in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only, or in the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both.
Preparation of the Corporation’s Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 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.
Key judgments and estimates made by management with respect to those areas noted previously have been disclosed in the notes to the Financial Statements (“ Notes ”), as appropriate.
Significant accounting judgements
Investment classifications
As part of the evaluation of whether the Corporation has significant influence over any investee, management must exercise judgment based on current information. Determination of whether or not an investment should be classified and accordingly accounted for as a subsidiary, significant influence or equity investment has a material impact on the financial statements. Management takes into account all facts and circumstances in concluding the classification of an investment.
Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair value of financial assets recorded in the Statement of Financial Position cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow method. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible.
Asset impairment
The carrying amounts of the Corporation’s non-financial assets, other than inventories which are reviewed regularly, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and compared to the carrying amount of the cash generating unit (“ CGU ”) to which the asset belongs. There was no impairment in the ninemonth period ended September 30, 2021 (the “ Period ”).
The Corporation’s most significant estimates and assumptions involve values associated with determining the recoverable amounts of product development costs, property, plant and equipment, patents and intangible assets. These estimates and assumptions include those with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, asset lives, and the determination of CGUs.
Management is required to use judgment in determining the grouping of assets to identify their CGU for the purposes of testing for impairment. CGUs are based on an assessment of the unit’s ability to generate independent cash inflows. The determination of these CGUs was based on management’s judgment in regard to several factors such as shared infrastructure, and exposure to market risk and materiality.
10
Estimated useful lives and amortization of property, plant and equipment, patents and intangibles Amortization of property, plant and equipment, product development, patents and intangibles are dependent upon estimates of useful lives which are determined through the exercise of judgment. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.
Development costs
Development costs are capitalized in accordance with the accounting policy described in Note 4. Initial capitalization of costs is based on management's judgment that technical and economic feasibility is confirmed, usually when a project has reached a defined milestone according to an established project management model.
Expected credit losses
Management determines expected credit losses by evaluating individual receivable balances and considering customers’ financial condition and current economic conditions. Accounts receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. All receivables are expected to be collected within one year of the consolidated statement of financial position date.
Income taxes
Income tax laws and regulations are subject to change. Deferred tax liabilities that arise from temporary differences between recorded amounts on the consolidated statement of financial position and their respective tax basis will be payable in future periods. Deferred tax assets that arise from temporary differences between recorded amounts on the consolidated statement of financial position and their respective tax basis are recognized to the extent that it is probably that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax losses can be utilized. The amount of a deferred tax asset/liability is subject to managements best estimate of when a temporary difference will reverse and expected changes in income tax rates. These estimates by nature involve significant measurement uncertainty.
The going concern assumption
The assessment of the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern and to raise sufficient funds to pay for its ongoing operating expenditures, meet its liabilities for the ensuing year, and to fund planned and contractual programs, involves significant judgment based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Leases
The Corporation applies judgment in determining whether the contract contains an identified asset, whether the Corporation has the right to control the asset, and the lease term. Lease term reflect the period over which the lease payments are reasonably certain including renewal options that the Corporation is reasonably certain to exercise. The determination of lease terms involves significant judgment with respect to assumptions of whether lease extensions will be utilized. Management makes assumptions about long-term industry outlook and store operating performances and growth which relate to future events and circumstances. Actual results could vary from these assumptions, and the differences could be material to the carrying value of the lease liabilities and right of use assets, for which the lease term is the basis for determining useful life.
11
Warrants
The Corporation utilizes the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the fair value of warrants issued as part of a unit. The Corporation uses judgment in the evaluation of the input variables in the Black-Scholes Calculation which includes: estimates of the future volatility of the Corporation’s share price, forfeiture rates, expected lives of the underlying security, expected dividends and other relevant assumptions.
Business combinations
For acquisition accounting purposes, all identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. Estimates are used to calculate the fair value of these assets and liabilities as at the date of acquisition. Contingent consideration resulting from business combinations is valued at fair value at the acquisition date as part of the business combination. Where the contingent consideration is recognized, it is subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting date. The determination of the fair value is based on discounted cash flows. The key assumptions take into consideration the probability of meeting each performance target and the discount factor.
4) Summary of significant accounting policies
a) Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Acquisition costs for business combinations are expensed and included in general and administrative expenses. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at fair values at the date of acquisition.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Corporation’s share in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities. Any negative difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of income. If the fair values of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities can only be calculated on a provisional basis, the business combination is recognized using provisional values. Any adjustments resulting from the completion of the measurement process are recognized within 12 months of the date of acquisition.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Corporation’s cash-generating units or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets and liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those CGUs. Where goodwill forms part of a CGU or group of CGUs and part of the operating unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of operation. If the Corporation reorganizes its reporting structure in a way that changes the composition of one or more CGUs or group of CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated, the goodwill is reallocated to the units affected. Goodwill disposed of or reallocated in these cases is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the CGU retained, or the relative fair value of the part of a CGU allocated to a new CGU compared to the part remaining in the old organizational structure.
12
b) Financial instruments
Classification and Measurement
The Corporation classifies and measures financial assets based on their contractual cash flow characteristics and the Corporation’s business model for the financial asset. All financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial position when the Corporation becomes party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument or non-financial derivative contract. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets must be classified and measured at either amortized cost, at fair value through profit or loss (“ FVTPL ”), or at fair value through other comprehensive income (“ FVTOCI ”).
The Corporation classifies its financial instruments as follows:
| Financial Instrument | Classification |
|---|---|
| Financial assets | |
| Cash | FVTPL |
| Investments | FVTPL |
| Accounts receivable | Amortized cost |
| Financial liabilities | |
| Accountspayable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost |
| Lease liability | Amortized cost |
Financial assets
Impairment of financial assets
The expected credit loss model requires entities to account for expected credit losses on financial assets, other than financial assets measured at FVTOCI, at the date of initial recognition, and to account for changes in expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk. Expected credit losses are measured to reflect a probability-weighted amount, the time value of money, and reasonable and supportable information regarding past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
The Corporation’s management reviewed and assessed its existing financial assets for impairment using reasonable and supportable information to determine the credit risk of the respective items at the date they were initially recognized and compared that to the credit risk as at September 30, 2021. The assessment of changes in credit risk resulted in an immaterial impact on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Corporation derecognizes a financial asset when its contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
13
Financial liabilities
Recognition and initial measurement
The Corporation recognizes a financial liability when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. At initial recognition, the Corporation measures financial liabilities at their fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their issuance, with the exception of financial liabilities subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss for which transaction costs are immediately recorded in profit or loss.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest, gains and losses relating to a financial liability are recognized in profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Corporation derecognizes a financial liability only when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.
c) Cash
Cash includes balances in banks and cash on hand.
d) Foreign Currency Translation
The Corporation translates monetary assets and liabilities using the rate of exchange at the Financial Statement date and non-monetary assets liabilities using the historical exchange rate at the transaction date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate in effect for the period or year.
e) Property, Plant and Equipment
The initial cost of an asset is comprised of its purchase price or construction cost, borrowing costs and any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into operation. The purchase price or construction cost is the amount paid and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset. Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Asset values are comprised of cost less accumulated amortization and impairment if required.
Assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives as follows:
| Equipment and vehicles | 30% decliningbalance |
|---|---|
| Leasehold improvements | 3years straight-line |
14
f) Impairment of Assets
Non-Financial and Intangible Assets
The carrying amounts of the Corporation’s property, plant and equipment, product development costs, patents and intangible assets having a finite useful life are assessed for impairment indicators at least on an annual basis to determine whether there is any indication that these assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or group of assets’ estimated fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable independent cash inflows (CGUs).
Where an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount but limited to 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 profit or loss.
Assets that have an indefinite useful life and goodwill are not subject to amortization and are tested for impairment at least on an annual basis or earlier when there is an indication of potential impairment.
g) Patents
Costs associated with registration of patents are accumulated at cost and when registration is complete, amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years.
h) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is its fair value 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 useful 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 method and amortization period of an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least annually. 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 the consolidated statements of income in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, which include brand names, are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the CGU level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.
15
Internally generated intangible assets are capitalized when the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Corporation has sufficient resources to complete development. The cost of an internally generated intangible asset comprises all directly attributable costs necessary to create, produce and prepare the asset to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Expenditures incurred to develop new demos and prototypes are recorded at cost as internally generated intangible assets. Amortization of the internally generated intangible assets begins when the development is complete and the asset is available for use and it is amortized over the period of expected future benefit. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment at least annually.
Finite-life intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives as follows:
| Carbon Rx™ Intellectual Property | 20years |
|---|---|
| CO2Technologies Intellectual Property | 10years |
| Delta Reclaimer®System | 10years |
| LCDesign®CCS | 10years |
| PDOengine® | 10years |
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the consolidated statements of income when the asset is derecognized.
i) Research and Development
Research costs are expensed as they are incurred in accordance with specific criteria set out under IFRS. Product development costs are expensed as incurred, except if the costs are related to the development and setup of new products, processes, and systems, and satisfy certain conditions for capitalization, including reasonable assurance that they will be recovered. All capitalized development costs are amortized when commercial production begins, based on the expected useful life of the completed product. The carrying value of capitalized development costs are examined for recoverability annually.
j) Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Corporation considers whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A lease is defined as ‘a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration’. To apply this definition, the Corporation assesses whether the contract meets three key evaluations which are whether:
-
the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified by being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Corporation;
-
the Corporation has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of the contract the Corporation has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use; and
-
the Corporation assess whether it has the right to direct ‘how and for what purpose’ the asset is used throughout the period of use.
Right-of-use assets are amortized over the term of the lease.
16
Recognition and measurement
At the lease commencement date, the Corporation recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the statement of financial position. The right of use asset is measured at cost, which is made up of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any initial direct costs incurred, estimated costs to dismantle or remove the asset at the end of the lease, and any lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date (net of any incentives received).
The Corporation depreciates the right-of-use asset on a straight-line basis to the earlier of the useful life of the asset, or the end of the lease term. The Corporation also assessed the right-of-use asset for impairment when indicators exist.
At the commencement date, the Corporation measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments unpaid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily available, or the Corporations incremental rate of borrowing.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability include fixed payments, variable payments based on an index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and payments arising from options reasonably certain to be exercised.
Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability is reduced for payments made and increased for interest.
k) Revenue Recognition
The Corporation’s revenues from contracts with customers are derived from engineering, processing, design and consulting services.
To determine whether to recognize revenue, the Corporation follows a 5-step process:
-
Identifying the contract with a customer.
-
Identifying the performance obligations.
-
Determining the transaction price.
-
Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations.
-
Recognizing revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.
The total transaction price for a contract is allocated amongst the various performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. The transaction price for a contract excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
Revenue is recognized either at a point in time or over time, when (or as) the Corporation satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to its customers. Revenue for engineering processing design and consulting services are recognized at a point in time when the service is completed.
Performance Obligations
Each promised good or service is accounted for separately as a performance obligation, if it is distinct.
Transaction Price
The Corporation allocates the transaction price in the contract to each performance obligation. Transaction price allocated to performance obligations may include variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price for each performance obligation when it is highly probable that a significant
17
reversal of the cumulative variable revenue will not occur. Variable consideration is assessed at each reporting period to determine whether the constraint is lifted. The consideration contained in some of the Corporation’s contracts with customers has a variable component, and may include both variability in quantity and pricing, such as: revenues can be dependent upon the quantity handled or the number of days any product is stored.
When multiple performance obligations are present in a contract, transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation in an amount that depicts the consideration the Corporation expects to be entitled to, in exchange for transferring the good or service. The Corporation estimates the amount of the transaction price, to allocate to individual performance obligations, based on their relative standalone selling prices.
Recognition
The nature, timing of recognition of satisfied performance obligations, and payment terms for the Corporation’s goods and services are described below:
Revenues from contracts for rendering of services are recognized at point in time when the control on those services is transferred to the customer, which is normally when the service is accepted by the customers and when the performance obligation is fulfilled.
The Corporation recognizes a contract asset or contract liability for contracts where either party has performed. A contract liability is recorded when the Corporation receives consideration before the performance obligations have been satisfied. A contract asset is recorded when the Corporation has rights to consideration for the completion of a performance obligation before it has invoiced the customer. The Corporation recognizes unconditional rights to consideration separately as a receivable. Contract assets and receivables are evaluated at each reporting period to determine whether there is any objective evidence that they are impaired.
The Corporation recognizes a significant financing component where the timing of payment from the customer differs from the Corporation’s performance under the contract and where that difference is the result of the Corporation financing the transfer of goods and services. No significant financing components were identified in the Corporation’s contracts.
l) Income taxes
Income tax expense comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The resulting changes in the net future tax asset or liability are included in income. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates, expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment. Future income tax assets are recognized to the extent it is probable that these will be realized in the future.
18
m) Earnings per share
The computation of earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted profit per share is computed in a similar way to basic profit per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares assuming the exercise of share options, share appreciation rights and convertible debt options, if dilutive.
Standards issued but not yet effective
Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements (" IAS 1 ")
In January 2020, amendments were issued to IAS 1, which provide requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. Specifically, the amendments clarify:
-
What is meant by a right to defer settlement.
-
That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period.
-
That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right.
-
That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument, would the terms of a liability not impact its classification.
The amendments must be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2023. The Corporation is currently assessing the impact, if any, of adoption of the amendment.
Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations - Reference to the Conceptual Framework
The amendments add an exception to the recognition principle of IFRS 3 to avoid the issue of potential ‘day 2’ gains or losses arising from liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be within the scope of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets or IFRIC 21 Levies, if incurred separately. The exception requires entities to apply the criteria in IAS 37 or IFRIC 21, respectively, instead of the Conceptual Framework, to determine whether a present obligation exists at the acquisition date. At the same time, the amendments add a new paragraph to IFRS 3 to clarify that contingent assets do not qualify for recognition at the acquisition date. The amendments to IFRS 3 apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The Corporation is currently assessing the impact of the amendments.
5) Business acquisitions
Clean Energy Asset purchase from HTC Purenergy Inc.
On January 27, 2021, Delta completed the Asset Purchase of the Clean Energy Assets of HTC. HTC is a related party due to common directors (see Note 21). The Clean Energy Assets consist of all the intellectual property and certain contractual agreements for the operation of HTC’s CO2 capture systems and reclaimer systems.
The purchase has been accounted for as a business acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting, with the results of the Clean Energy Assets included in the Corporation's net earnings from the date of acquisition.
19
The following table summarizes the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities as at the date of acquisition:
| Prepaid expenses Property plant and equipment Intangible assets Patents 100% shares of CO2Technologies Pty. Ltd. Investments in associates Goodwill Purchase consideration |
$ |
|---|---|
| 21,476 14,000 2,000,000 750,000 1 154,900 59,623 |
|
| $ 3,000,000 |
The intangible assets of $2,000,000 comprise the values associated with the LCDesign®, Delta Reclaimer® system, PDOengine®, Carbon Rx™ IP, and CO2 Technologies IP.
As part of the consideration under the Asset Purchase, Delta granted HTC two non-exclusive, royalty free licenses, to use certain extraction and carbon credit IP for limited purposes.
The goodwill of $59,623 comprises the value of the assembled workforce and other expected synergies arising from the acquisition.
Transaction costs related to the Clean Energy Assets acquisition during the Period were $27,539 and are included in general and administrative expenses.
The valuation techniques used for measuring the fair value of material assets acquired were as follows.
| Assets acquired | Valuation technique |
|---|---|
| Intangible assets | Historical cost method: This method requires an estimate of the |
| cost incurred to reproduce the intangible asset in its acquisition | |
| date condition and building in a developer premium to account for | |
| the returns expected if a market participant were to outsource the | |
| development of the Delta intangibles to a third-party. The margin | |
| a contract developer would require was estimated at 18% based | |
| on the benchmark data collected for guideline companies. Due to | |
| the fact that the technology has taken several years to complete | |
| there has also been a technology obsolescence factor (“TOF”) | |
| applied to the valuations. The TOF reflects the risk that a process, | |
| product, or technology used or produced by a company for profit | |
| will become obsolete, and thus no longer competitive in the | |
| marketplace. In assessing the timeframe of development, a | |
| discount to the replacement costs was used of between 50% and | |
| 95%. | |
| Patents | Historical cost method: This method requires an estimate of the |
| cost incurred to reproduce the patents in its acquisition date | |
| condition and building in a developer premium to account for the | |
| returns expected if a market participant were to outsource the | |
| development of the Delta patents to a third-party. The margin a |
20
contract developer would require was estimated at 18% based on the benchmark data collected for guideline companies. Due to the fact that the technology has taken several years to complete there has also been a TOF applied to the valuations. The TOF reflects the risk that a process, product, or technology used or produced by a company for profit will become obsolete, and thus no longer competitive in the marketplace. In assessing the timeframe of development, a 45% discount to the replacement costs was used.
Investments in associates have been recorded at their trading value on the date of acquisition.

13) Share capital
At September 30, 2021, the Corporation had authorized an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value, and an unlimited number of preferred shares. Common Shares are voting, participating and are not subject to restrictions. Preferred shares may be issued in series. At the end of the Period the Corporation had 58,523,100 Common Shares, and Nil preferred shares issued and outstanding.
On December 22, 2020 the Corporation issued 100 Common Shares at a weighted average value of $0.10 per share for net proceeds of $10.
On January 27, 2021 Delta completed the Asset Purchase acquiring the Clean Energy Assets of HTC. The Clean Energy Assets consist of all of the IP and certain contractual agreements for the operation of HTC’s CO2 capture systems and reclaimer systems. The Asset Purchase Agreement reflects a deemed purchase price of $4,000,000 however as a result of the accounting treatment of the Common Shares issued, the
24
financial statements reflect a value of $3,000,000 for the 20,000,000 Common Shares issued. The fair value of the assets and share consideration has been measured provisionally in the Financial Statements and may be valued differently in the annual financial statements of the Corporation to be filed following the completion of the year ending December 31, 2021. The Consideration Shares are subject to a pooling arrangement with a release schedule over a period of 24 months whereby 10% of the Consideration Shares were released upon the Liquidity Event, 10% of the Consideration Shares are released every three months following the date of the Liquidity Event and the final 20% of the Consideration Shares are released 24 months following the date of the Liquidity Event. The Asset Purchase was conditional upon, among other things, the closing of the Private placement (as described below). No finder’s fees were payable in connection with the Asset Purchase.
On January 27, 2021, immediately following the closing of the Asset Purchase, the Corporation completed the first tranche of a Private Placement. The first tranche of the Private Placement comprised of 36,200,000 Units of Delta at a price of $0.20 per Unit for gross proceeds of $7,240,000. Each Unit was comprised of one Common Share and one-half of a Common Share purchase warrant. Each whole Warrant is exercisable to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.50 for a period of 48 months after its issuance.
On January 29, 2021, the Corporation completed a second tranche of the Private Placement consisting of 2,150,000 Units at a price of $0.20 per Unit for gross proceeds of $430,000. Each Unit was comprised of one Common Share and one-half of a Common Share purchase warrant. Each whole Warrant is exercisable to purchase one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.50 for a period of 48 months after its issuance. Pursuant to the offering (including the first tranche), the Corporation paid a cash finders’ fees of $280,050 and issued 1,398,750 finders’ warrants. Finders’ warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.20 for a period of 4 years.
On April 16, 2021, the Corporation completed a third tranche of the Private Placement consisting of 173,000 Units at a price of $0.20 per Unit for gross proceeds of $34,600. Each Unit was comprised of one Common Share and one-half of a Common Share purchase warrant. Each whole Warrant is exercisable to purchase one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.50 for a period of 48 months after its issuance.

15) Option and RSU plan
On February 19, 2021, the Corporation approved a stock option plan (“ Option Plan ”) as well as a restricted stock unit plan (“ RSU Plan ”). 5,800,000 options were issued under the Option Plan, with an exercise price of $0.20 per share, a term of 4 years, and a vesting period of 1-year intervals over 3 years. Due to the vesting dates of the stock options only commencing after the Period, no amount has been recorded in the Financial Statements regarding the stock options to date. 5,800,000 restricted share units (“ RSU ”) were issued under the RSU Plan with an exercise price of $0.20 per share, a term of 4 years, of which 300,000 RSU’s vested immediately and 5,500,000 RSU’s vest over 6-month intervals over 2 years starting August 19, 2021. Vested RSU’s have been valued at the grant date on February 19, 2021. An amount of $335,000 has been recorded to stock compensation expense in the Financial Statements.

18) Financial Risk Management
Management’s risk management policies are typically performed as a part of the overall management of the Corporation’s operations. Management is aware of risks related to these objectives through direct personal involvement with employees and outside parties. In the normal course of its business, the Corporation is exposed to a number of risks that can affect its operating performance. Management’s close involvement in operations helps identify risks and variations from expectations. The Corporation has not designated transactions as hedging transactions to manage risk. As a part of the overall operation of the Corporation, management considers the avoidance of undue concentrations of risk. These risks and the actions taken to manage them include the following:
a) Credit risk
The risk of financial loss in the event of failure of a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument to meet its contractual obligation is defined as credit risk. The Corporation's principal exposure to credit risk is in respect to its accounts receivable. In order to reduce the risk on its accounts receivable, the Corporation has adopted credit policies which mandate performing an ongoing credit review of all its customers and establishing allowances for bad debts when the amounts are not collectible. The allowance for bad debt at September 30, 2021 was $Nil.
Due to the nature of the Corporation’s operations, Management considers accounts receivable outstanding for 90 days or less, to be current amounts. Over 90 days are also considered current, if extended terms exist and
27
security is provided, or amounts are subject to contract restrictions and performance markers. The aging of the Corporations accounts receivable at September 30, 2021 is as follows:
| Current | **Over 90 Days ** | Total | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aging of accounts receivable at September | 30, | 2021 | $ 4,280 | $ - | $ 4,280 |
b) Currency risk
The Corporation is exposed to currency risk as a certain portion of sales and expenses are incurred in US dollars resulting in US denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable. These balances are, therefore, subject to gains and losses due to fluctuations in that currency in relation to the Canadian dollar.
The Canadian dollar equivalent amounts of the balances denominated in US funds at September 30, 2021 are:
| $ | |
|---|---|
| Cash | 683 |
c) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Corporation’s only interest-bearing financial instrument is the GIC that it holds as at September 30, 2021 at a fixed rate of interest.
d) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation cannot meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities in full. The Corporation’s main sources of liquidity are its operations and equity financing. The funds are primarily used to finance working capital and capital expenditure requirements and are adequate to meet the Corporation’s financial obligations associated with financial liabilities.
The timing of cash outflows relating to the financial liabilities are outlined in the table below:
| September 30, 2021 | < 1 year | 1-2 years | 3-5 years | Thereafter | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accounts payable and | |||||
| accrued liabilities | $ 87,660 | $ - | $ - | $ - | $ 87,660 |
| Lease liability | 11,926 | 52,981 | - | - | 64,907 |
| Balance | $ 99,586 | $ 52,981 | $ - | $ - | $ 152,567 |
19) Financial Instruments
Fair Value
For all current assets and liabilities, the difference between cost and fair value is assumed to be negligible due to the short-term maturities of these items. The following table provides a summary, by class and level on the fair value hierarchy, of the financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, together with the carrying amounts included in the consolidated statements of financial position, as at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

| Level | Carrying amount | Fair value | ||
| Financial assets | ||||
| Fair value through profit and loss | ||||
| Cash | 1 | $10 | $10 |
The Corporation uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
-
(i) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
(ii) Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
-
(iii) Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Interest from financial instruments is recognized in finance costs.
20) Capital Disclosures
There are no restrictions on the Corporation’s capital. The Corporation’s capital is summarized as follows:
| September 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | |

The Corporation’s objectives when managing capital are to:
-
maintain financial flexibility in order to preserve its ability to meet financial obligations;
-
deploy capital to provide an appropriate investment return to its shareholders in the future; and
29
- maintain a capital structure that allows multiple financing options to the Corporation, should a financing need arise.
The Corporation’s financial strategy is designed and formulated to maintain a flexible capital structure consistent with the objectives stated above and to respond to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of underlying assets.

23) Subsequent Events
a) COVID-19
Subsequent to and during the Period, there was a continued global outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, which has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the Canadian, provincial and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak may have on Delta as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence.
These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place by Canada and other countries to fight the virus. While the extent of the impact is unknown, the Corporation anticipates this outbreak may cause reduced customer demand, supply chain disruptions, staff shortages, and increased government regulations, all of which may negatively impact the Corporation’s business and financial condition.
