The continued operation of the Company in the future may depend on the Company’s ability to obtain additional financings. In the past years, the Company has relied on shareholder loans and cash generated from operations to meet its cash requirements. Future developments, in excess of funds on hand, will depend on the Company’s ability to obtain financing through equity financing, debt financing or other means. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in obtaining any such financing; failure to obtain such additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy according to the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgement and may affect placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The hierarchy is as follows:

  • Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

  • Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  • Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Company’s cash and marketable securities are measured at fair value. The Company considers that the carrying amount of its trade and other payables recognized at amortized cost in the financial statements approximates their fair value due to the demand nature of these instruments.

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties

and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

Financial Risk Factors

The Company’s risk exposure and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises from cash held with banks, cash on deposit with fiat to cryptocurrency exchanges and from outstanding trade receivables. The Company minimizes credit risk associated with its cash balance substantially by dealing with financial institutions deemed to be reliable due to their history of operations. The Company assessed its credit risk to be low.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company currently settles its financial obligations with cash. The ability to do this relies on the Company raising equity financing in a timely manner and by maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk, but has assessed liquidity risk to be low.

Foreign Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies, other than the functional currency of the Company, will fluctuate due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. The Company previously was exposed to foreign currency risk through cash in banks and cash on deposit with fiat to cryptocurrency exchanges which are denominated in United States dollars (USD).

Price Risk

The Company’s net income or loss, and financial condition were subject to price risk due to fluctuations of the following:

Equity Price Risk

The Company is exposed to equity price risk through its equity investments and unfavourable market conditions could result in dispositions of marketable securities at less than favourable prices, especially during periods of overall market instability. The Company manages its equity price risk by having a portfolio of equity investments not singularly exposed to any one issuer.

BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Additional information on risks and uncertainties relating to the Company’s business is provided in GAR’s Listing Statement dated February 28, 2018, under the heading “Risk Factors”.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The Company presently has no contractual obligations pursuant to which the Company has any payments owing in the next five years.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Company’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 at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income 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 may differ significantly from these estimates.

The following discusses the most significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions that the Company has made in the preparation of its financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Areas of judgment:

  • Going concern

Determining if the Company has the ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to achieve profitable operations. Certain judgments are made when determining if the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

• Deferred tax assets

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probably that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Management applies judgment in determining the likelihood of future taxable profits.

• Determination of fair values

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. In estimating fair value, the Company uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. In certain cases where Level 1 inputs are not available the Company estimates the fair value based on the criteria described under Note 4(iii) in the financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Significant judgement is required for the Company’s investment in non-public companies using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs.

  • Tax assets and liabilities

Provisions for income taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid or recovered based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of each reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by tax authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. Deferred tax assets and liabilities contain estimates about the nature and timing of future permanent and temporary differences as well as the future tax rates that will apply to those differences. Changes in tax laws and rate as well as changes to the expected timing of reversals may have a significant impact on the amounts recorded for deferred tax assets and liabilities. Management closely monitors current and potential changes to tax law and bases its estimates on the best available information at each reporting date.

• Share-based payments

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes”) to estimate the fair value of stock options granted to directors, officers and consultants. The use of Black-Scholes requires management to make various estimates and assumptions that impact the value assigned to the stock options including the forecast future volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and the expected life of the stock options. Any changes in these assumptions could have a material impact on the share-based compensation calculation value, however, the most significant estimate is the volatility.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s material accounting policies are summarized in Note 4 of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and Note 4 of the audited financial statements for the December 31, 2023 and 2022.
