This Offering Memorandum contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or the future performance of the Corporation and SCF (as that term is defined in the "Glossary of Terms" herein). All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "may", "will", "should", "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict", "potential", "targeting", "intend", "could", "might", "continue", or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. In addition, this Offering Memorandum may contain forward-looking statements attributed to third party industry sources. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are based will occur. By its nature, forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not occur and may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Offering Memorandum are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. The Corporation is not under any duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Offering Memorandum to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in the Corporation's expectations except as otherwise required by applicable legislation.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC

In order to combat the Covid-19 outbreak (the "Covid-19 pandemic"), governments worldwide, including those countries in which the entity operates, have enacted emergency measures including travel bans, legally enforced or self-imposed quarantine periods, social distancing and business and organization closures. These measures have caused material disruptions to businesses, governments and other organizations resulting in an economic slowdown and increased volatility. Governments and central banks have responded with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. This rapidly evolving event, including health and safety conditions, economic environment and resulting government measures, creates a high level of uncertainty and risk that may have a significant impact on the Corporation's activities, results of operations and financial condition.

SCF was founded in 2013 and is based in Kingston, Ontario.

SCF carries on an on-line lending business in Canada in all provinces except Nova Scotia and Quebec. SCF is servicing approximately 6,000 current SCF Borrowers (as that term is defined in the heading below). In 2022, SCF was named a finalist for the Consumer Lender of the Year in the Leaders in Lending awards presented by the Canadian Lenders Association (https://www.canadianlenders.org/2022-award-finalists/).

Source: https://skycapfinancial.com/

Consumer Credit in Canada

The big five Canadian banks dominate the consumer lending space in Canada, however, these banks have high credit thresholds for unsecured loans, lines of credit and credit cards, which leaves a large part of the Canadian population unable to access bank credit as a result of the bank's low risk tolerance procedures. SCF has implemented a process to offer unsecured loans (each an "SCF Loan") to qualified borrowers (each an "SCF Borrower") who may not be able to meet the rigorous qualifications of a bank. SCF does not restrict what an SCF Borrower can use an SCF Loan for. SCF leverages its technology and business practices to accurately and efficiently originate, underwrite and manage its SCF Loan portfolio.

Common reasons for an SCF Borrower seeking an SCF Loan are to cover bill payments, unexpected expenses, vehicle repair, home repair, debt consolidation, or financing a retail purchase. In order for an SCF Borrower to qualify for an SCF Loan, applications are reviewed by SCF which may involve review of the length of time an SCF Borrower has worked for their current employer (confirmed through an employment check), credit history review, minimum length of time a client has lived at their residential address and reviewing certain financial ratios.

SCF Loans currently range between $500 to $10,000 and range between 9 to 36 months. Payments of principal and interest are set-up on a weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly basis, with an annual percentage rate from 19.99% to 39.99%. SCF creates a payment schedule, whereby, automatic payments will be set up with an SCF Borrower to ensure that SCF Loans are repaid on a regular schedule. SCF is continually reviewing its competitiveness in the marketplace and may periodically makes changes to its loan terms including but not limited to the principal amount of loans, length of term and loan underwriting criteria.

SCF Loan Portfolio

SCF's Loan portfolio can be split into two (2) portfolios: (1) product finance loans which are unsecured loans provided to a client where funds are used to finance the purchase of products or services from a third-party vendor ("SCF Product Finance Loans" or "Product Finance Loans"); and (2) personal loans ("SCF Personal Loans" or "Personal Loans") which are unsecured loans, the proceeds of which are used by SCF Borrowers at their discretion. As the market dynamics in the lending landscape in Canada shifts, SCF may, in the future, offer consumer loans to SCF Borrowers with respect to the purchase of vehicles, secured loans with respect to additional personal property related assets, fund secondary mortgages, provide credit cards, provide lines of credit and other related debt products. SCF may also in the future offer other ancillary products to SCF Borrowers such as credit monitoring.

SCF Product Finance Loans

SCF Product Finance Loans are unsecured loans which are advanced to an SCF Borrower to finance the purchase of products or services by an SCF Borrower from a third-party vendor ("Vendor"). SCF Borrowers use funds from SCF Product Finance Loans for the purpose of financing purchases (for example, furniture purchases). SCF has a profit share arrangement with the Vendor which includes a "vendor hold back" that mitigates credit risk to SCF. Where a purchase by an SCF Borrower involves a vendor hold back, SCF only advances a portion of the total purchase price of the product to the Vendor, and the remainder is held as contingent based on performance which minimizes the SCF Borrower default risk to SCF. For example, if the purchase price is $1,000 then as little as $400 may be advanced to the Vendor and $600 may be held back and would be advanced over time to limit potential losses to SCF as the Vendor assumes a majority of the credit risk. The amount and timing of the hold back may vary over time.

Previously, SCF offered Product Finance Loans for the purpose of helping an SCF Borrower establish or re-establish their credit through a third-party vendor. SCF exited the credit building business line in 2020 to focus on SCF Product Finance Loans and SCF Personal Loans.

SCF Personal Loans

SCF Personal Loans are unsecured loans used by a potential SCF Borrower at their discretion.

SCF Borrowers to whom SCF Personal Loans are advanced on average have the following personal characteristics:

  • 50% Male & 50% Female
  • Average Age 40 years old
  • Average Annual Income $57,100
  • Average Under 50% Debt to Income Ratio
  • 26% are Homeowners
  • 21% have a "payday loan"

SCF Personal Loan Underwriting

SCF uses standard underwriting procedures employed for each SCF Personal Loan application it considers. Some of the risk management policies followed by SCF in these procedures include:

  • SCF uses an automated decision tool (the "Decision Tool"). Commencing in 2022, SCF began using the Decision Tool Modellica Pro, offered by GDS Link (1). It utilizes the credit data provided by a major Canadian credit bureau and allows SCF to review SCF Personal Loan applications. Decision Tool allows SCF to upload its underwriting criteria parameters into the platform along with third party data sources including credit and banking data whereby the software automates a credit adjudication giving a potential SCF Borrower a real time decision if their application will be approved or denied. This process allows SCF to scale by automating a significant part of the underwriting process while maintaining its own underwriting criteria.
  • Each new SCF Personal Loan application is screened using the Decision Tool, which can screen dozens of metrics instantly, such as credit score, high risk fraud flags, types of trade lines, payment history on trade lines, derogatory items, judgments, collections, credit utilization, frequency of credit applications, and the average age of accounts. The Decision Tool also evaluates data and metrics besides credit bureau information like aggregated banking data from an applicant as well as a shared industry "good/bad list" called Lenders API facilitated through the Canadian Lenders Association in which SCF is a member.
  • SCF underwriters focus on manual reviews of the applications that pass the thresholds of SCF's credit model.
  • A benefit to SCF using the Decision Tool to assist in its SCF Personal Loan underwriting process is that the underwriter's role is that of a manual reviewer providing human validation to the model inputs and outputs.

Creditor Insurance

As an additional revenue stream, SCF also cross sells optional creditor insurance ("SCF Creditor Insurance") on its approved SCF Personal Loan applications, whereby SCF is the beneficiary of the policy. These policies offer protection to SCF Borrowers in the event of death, critical illness or involuntary job loss. Under SCF Creditor Insurance, in the event of death or critical illness of an SCF Borrower, the outstanding loan balance would be covered by SCF Creditor Insurance. The SCF Creditor Insurance coverage includes arrears, if any, and interest. In the event of job loss, injury, or sickness, SCF Creditor Insurance covers regular interest and principal payments, plus a small principal prepayment for six (6) months. If after six (6) months, the SCF Borrower is still unemployed, injured, or sick, the SCF Creditor Insurance can pay out a lump sum up to the remaining balance within the policy limits. Since 2017, when SCF first introduced SCF Creditor Insurance, the majority of SCF's Personal Loan SCF Borrowers chose to take advantage of the SCF Creditor Insurance. As an alternative, an SCF Borrower may obtain loan protection insurance from alternative insurance providers as well.

SCF is the beneficiary of the SCF Creditor Insurance policies and earns a sales commission from the SCF Creditor Insurance insurer, reducing risk on the portfolio and assists with returns. SCF currently only sells creditor insurance on SCF Personal Loans although SCF may expand this going forward to include SCF Product Finance Loans as well.

For example, SCF agrees to advance a SCF Personal Loan in the amount of $3,000 loan over a three (3) year period at an annual rate of 39.99% interest. After the SCF Borrower has been approved, an option to purchase SCF Creditor Insurance is offered to the SCF Borrower. If the SCF Borrower accepts, they are sent a loan agreement and documentation about the coverage for execution.

Based on the above example amount, the SCF Borrower would pay monthly payments of $144.31 (which is principal and interest on the SCF Personal Loan) plus $101.31 in monthly SCF Credit Insurance premium (the "Premium") plus any applicable taxes on the Premium. The Premium is collected over time by SCF. SCF retains 50% of the Premium as the sales commission and remits monthly, the other 50% plus the sales taxes to the SCF Creditor Insurance Insurer ("Insurer"). Depending on performance of the portfolio with respect to cancellations and claims under the SCF Creditor Insurance policies which it has placed, the Insurer may pay a bonus (an "Creditor Insurance Bonus") to SCF out of the 50% Premium that the Insurer was originally paid by SCF. The Creditor Insurance Bonus could be as much as 52% of the Premium paid to the Insurer.

Home and Auto Benefits Plan

In May 2020, SCF began offering a Home and Auto Benefits Plan (the "Home & Auto Plan" or "Plan") offered through FIMC Partners Canada ULC (FIMC) as a cross selling opportunity for SCF Personal Loan applications. The Home & Auto Plan provides SCF Borrowers with dozens of different benefits through the Plan. These range from automobile related benefits like towing, roadside assistance, and reimbursement of insurance deductibles to home related benefits like locksmith service reimbursement, home insurance deductible reimbursement, prescription discounts, legal fee reimbursement for drafting wills and ambulance/paramedic expense reimbursement. The Home & Auto Plan also provides many different travel related discounts and reimbursements to its members. The Plan costs $310.25 plus applicable retail sales tax for an individual one-year Plan or $406.55 plus applicable retail sales tax for a one-year family Plan. The Home & Auto Plan is another revenue stream as SCF earns a sales commission of 25% of the Plan cost before tax as a sales commission. In 2020, approximately 67% of the SCF Personal Loan Borrowers purchased a Home & Auto Plan when offered and in 2021, approximately 53% of such Borrowers purchased the plan.

SCF Loan History and Current Loan Portfolio

In 2021, SCF originated and serviced 1,982 SCF Product Finance Loans having an aggregate principal loan amount of $7,130,649 and originated 1,900 SCF Personal Loans having an aggregate principal loan amount of $5,659,947. With respect to the above SCF Personal Loans, 67% of these SCF Borrowers initially accepted SCF Creditor Insurance and as of December 31, 2021, 84% of those SCF Loans remain insured. Note, the figures above represent the contracted loan balances from new loan originations. As part of its business model, SCF routinely rewards performing SCF Borrowers with upsell and increase offers for larger loan amounts. In this case, when loans are refinanced into larger loans, the total new balance is included in the contract originated amount (numbers above) and isn't split between the "refinanced amount" and the "new money". In addition, these figures do not take into account any regular amortization nor any early repayments.

In March 2022, SCF initiated the inclusion of an administration fee in SCF Personal Loans that is capitalized into the SCF Personal Loan balance at origination. The overall annual percentage rate of a SCF Personal Loan is unchanged for SCF Borrowers and the addition of the administration fee results in a drop in the interest rate. The administration fee is variable based on the amount of the SCF Personal Loan.

Since inception to March 31, 2022, SCF has loaned approximately $12,167,576 in SCF Personal Loans. In its history, SCF has had 869 SCF Personal Loans in which an SCF Borrower has defaulted with respect to its payment obligations with respect to a SCF Personal Loan. These defaults totaled approximately $1,274,345 net of recoveries of $110,522, representing 10.5% of SCF's total dollar volume of SCF Personal Loans that it has facilitated.

Of its current loan portfolio, the SCF Personal Loan product line represents approximately 55% of the portfolio in dollar terms where the SCF Product Finance Loans represent approximately 45% of the portfolio. Due to the higher margins, management has been growing the SCF Personal Loan product line in 2021 and is intending on continuing this growth.

SCF Liquidity

In an effort to enhance SCF's availability of funds to facilitate further growth, SCF entered in an agreement with an institutional investor to periodically sell a portion of its Product Finance Loans to that investor. SCF retains the client servicing and the relationship while earning a servicing fee contingent on portfolio performance. In 2021, SCF originated and sold an additional 95 Product Finance Loans representing $302,585 in principal balance to an institutional investor. In the first quarter of 2021, SCF ceased to offer further loans to the institutional investor.

SCF Registration

SCF is required to be licensed in connection with the sale of SCF Creditor Insurance. SCF, or its principal, is licensed as a "Restricted Sales Agent" under The Insurance Act (Manitoba), The Insurance Act (Alberta) and The Insurance Act (Saskatchewan) in Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan. SCF is restricted to selling SCF Creditor Insurance through its insurance partner, Canadian Premier Life Insurance. No other provinces where SCF offers SCF Personal Loans require a license to sell SCF Creditor Insurance.

SCF operates in compliance with consumer protection legislation in the provinces in which it operates and is licensed under applicable lending legislation in Saskatchewan. There is no lending legislation applicable to SCF in the other provinces in which it carries on business that is currently applicable to SCF.

Bad Debts and SCF Loan Defaults

When an SCF Borrower halts or delays payment, SCF attempts to resolves these matters through a number of different stages. The first stage is SCF's internal customer service team following up on missed payments. As the SCF Loan ages, it is transferred to SCF's internal collections team. Depending on the specifics of the SCF Loan, the internal collections team may recommend litigation through small claims court seeking a judgment and wage garnishment. Otherwise, the file is sent to an external collection agency for recovery.

SCF keeps track of a bad debt provision on its personal loan books which is an annualized figure calculated for a given time period and expressed as a percentage of average gross loans receivable. SCF's internally targeted bad debt provision is set at 12% - 14%. The actual annualized bad debt provision for the calendar year ended December 31, 2018 was 13.7%, in 2019 it was 12.7%, in 2020 it was 13.2% and for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 11.7%. For the period November 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022, SCF had an annualized bad debt provision of 15.4% and for the period April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022 was 14%. Due to the seasonality involved in borrower repayments, shorter periods annualized to an annual equivalent may introduce some volatility which may not exist when looking at a full year period. Due to the contractual risk mitigating offsets, the bad debt for the SCF Product Finance Loans is not able to be calculated in the same manor. Under SCF's accounting policies, personal loans are classified as "impaired" when in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to the collectability, either in whole or in part, of the principal amount or when the file is 180 days in arrears. SCF's management evaluates impairment monthly on a loan by loan basis.

Between March 2020 and March 2022, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, SCF saw an increase in the occurrence of non-sufficient funds ("NSF") events at times by SCF Borrowers of approximately 23% in comparison to the period prior to March 1, 2020 which contributed in SCF writing off $1,111,350 in defaulted loan principal over the two-year period. These NSF levels have fluctuated throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and fluctuated region to region based on government lock-downs and stay-at-home orders from various jurisdictions. There is a risk that elevated levels will result in future defaults under SCF Loans. Since April of 2021, NSF events have returned to pre-Covid-19 levels and time impact of these NSF events have now flowed through to the charge offs. See Item 8 - Risk Factors.

SCF is actively monitoring all of its missed payments and working on solutions to help SCF Borrowers. SCF has made arrangements in terms of payment deferrals, reduced payments and alternate payment dates which are all options employed by SCF as part of SCF Borrower management that SCF engages in on a regular basis. As of the date of this Offering Memorandum, SCF has made arrangements to assist less than 5% of its Borrowers specifically as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Limited Regulation

Subscribers should note that the consumer loan industry is not subject to the same level of regulation as the banking industry. In particular, consumer lenders such as SCF are not subject to minimum capital, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure requirements. Funds from this Offering will be used by SCF to fund SCF Loans. Accordingly, an investment in the Corporation's Bonds carries more risk than would an investment in debt securities issued by a bank or other regulated financial institution.

Distribution of Interest Income by the Corporation

Pursuant to the terms of the SCF Loan Agreement, SCF will pay interest to the Corporation on funds loaned by the Corporation to SCF at a rate of 15% per annum compounded quarterly (the "Interest Income") on each Loan amount. The Interest Income will be paid gross and without any deduction whatsoever. SCF will pay all Interest Income to the Corporation, plus principal of the Loan in accordance with a repayment schedule set up between SCF and the Corporation. The Corporation will then distribute the Interest Income as follows: (i) to pay the Bondholders their interest; and (ii) all remaining interest may then be dividended to the Class B, Class C and Class D Shareholders or retained by the Corporation for use in its lending business.

2.2.2 Offering Structure

The purpose of this Offering is to allow Subscribers to participate, indirectly through acquiring Bonds in the Corporation, in the financing of unsecured loans made by SCF.

A Holder may waive notice of a meeting either before or after the meeting.

Chairman

Some Person, who need not be a Holder, nominated in writing by the Indenture Trustee shall be chairman of the meeting and if no Person is so nominated, or if the Person so nominated is not present within 15 minutes from the time fixed for the holding of the meeting, a majority of the Holder s present in Person or by proxy shall choose some Person present to be chairman.

At any meeting of Holders where no poll is required or requested, a declaration made by the chairman that a resolution has been carried, or carried by any particular majority, or lost, will be conclusive evidence thereof.

The result of a poll will be deemed to be the decision of the meeting at which the poll was demanded and will be binding on all Holders of Bonds.

Proxies

A Holder may be present and vote at any meeting of Holders by an authorized representative. The Corporation (in case it convenes the meeting) or the Indenture Trustee (in any other case) for the purpose of enabling the Holders to be present and vote at any meeting without producing their Bonds, and of enabling them to be present and vote at any such meeting by proxy and of depositing instruments appointing such proxies at some place other than the place where the meeting is to be held, may from time to time make and vary such regulations as it shall think fit providing for and governing any or all of the following matters:

Powers Cumulative

Any one or more of the powers in the Indenture stated to be exercisable by the Holders by Extraordinary Resolution or otherwise may be exercised from time to time and the exercise of any one or more of such powers from time to time shall not be deemed to exhaust the rights of the Holders to exercise the same or any other such power or powers thereafter from time to time.

Nevertheless, upon the written request of the successor Indenture Trustee or of the Corporation, the Indenture Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument assigning and transferring to such successor Indenture Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the Indenture Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all property and money held by such Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee so appointed in its place. Should any deed, conveyance or instrument in writing from the Corporation be required by any new Indenture Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to it such estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts, then any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments in writing shall on request of said new Indenture Trustee, be made, executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Corporation.

The Face Value Amount of a Series E Bond or a Series H Bond will be due and payable on the Maturity Date of a Series E Bond or a Series H Bond.

Maturity: Subject to the right of early redemption with respect to the Corporation as set out below:

The Series C and Series E Bonds shall mature on the 15th day of either March, June, September, or December based on the first of these dates that arises after the third anniversary of the date of issue of a Series C Bond or Series E Bond. For example, Series C Bonds issued on June 1, 2022 will have a maturity date of June 15, 2025.

The Series G and Series H Bonds shall mature on the 15th day of either March, June, September, or December based on the first of these date that arises after the fifth anniversary of the date of issue of a Series G Bond or Series H Bond. For example, Series G Bonds issued on June 1, 2022 will have a maturity date of June 15, 2027.

Corporation's Right of Early Redemption: The Corporation shall have the right to redeem up to 100% of a Bondholder's Bonds by providing the Bondholder with 30 days written notice of its intention to do so, through the payment of:

  • (i) With respect to Series C Bonds and Series G Bonds, the Principal Amount of the redeemed Bonds and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption, plus three (3) months of additional interest; and

T: means time in days between Issuance Date and the Calculation Date

Issuance Date: means the issuance date on the Bond certificate of the Series E Bond or Series G Bond being redeemed

Face Value Amount = $100 * [ (1 + (R/4))((T/365)*4) ]

Example: With respect to a Series G Bond with a calculation date of 1,278 days after the Issuance Date of that Bond: R = 10.5%

T = 1,278 days

Accrued Face Value Amount = $100 * [ (1 + (0.105/4))((1278/365)*4) ]

Accrued Face Value Amount = $143.75

Corporation's Debt Obligations Secured: The Corporation's debt obligations represented by the Bonds (the "Debt Obligations") are secured obligations pursuant to the terms of the Trust Indenture. Olympia Trust as Indenture Trustee will coordinate enforcement of the security (a security interest in all of the Corporation's present and after acquired personal property) granted by the Corporation in favour of Olympia Trust in the event of a default by the Corporation in payment of its Debt Obligations under the Bonds. See Item 2.7.2 - Trust Indenture with Olympia Trust Company.

ITEM 6 - INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES AND DEFERRED PLAN ELIGIBILITY

You should consult your own professional adviser to obtain advice on the income tax consequences that apply to you.

6.1 Summary of Principal Federal Income Tax Consequences

Generally speaking, Canadian-resident holders of Bonds must include in the calculation of their taxable income the appropriate amount of interest on the Bonds they hold, calculated in accordance with the Tax Act and the Regulations. Holders of Bonds that are non-residents of Canada may or may not be subject to withholding tax under the Tax Act.

6.2 Deferred Plan Eligibility of the Bonds TO BE REVIEWED BY TAX ADVISOR

The Tax Act and the Regulations provide generally that a Bond or similar obligation of a "public corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) will constitute a "qualified investment" for a Deferred Plan.

The Tax Act provides that a Canadian corporation may make an election to become a "public corporation" (as defined by the Tax Act) in circumstances where that corporation has no less than 150 shareholders of "equity shares" (as defined under the Tax Act) of a class that has been qualified for distribution to the public. None of the 150 shareholders may be "insiders" of the corporation, each shareholder of the corporation must hold at least 100 shares of the corporation having an aggregate fair market value of not less than $500 and insiders of the corporation may not hold more than 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of that class.

As result of the Class D Share Offering, the above conditions were met in May of 2022 and the Corporation filed form T2073, Election to be a Public Corporation with CRA on May 27, 2022, to be deemed to be a "public corporation" for purposes of the Tax Act, including provisions governing qualified investments for Deferred Plans.

As the Corporation has made the aforementioned election, the Corporation's securities, inclusive of the Bonds, are eligible to be held in Deferred Plans pursuant to the Tax Act and Regulations.

There are additional requirements for a TFSA, RESP, RRSP or RRIF in order for the Bonds not to be a "prohibited investment" which would be subject to a special tax. The Bonds will be a "prohibited investment" if the account holder does not deal at "arm's length" with the Corporation or the account holder is a "specified shareholder" of the Corporation as defined in the Tax Act, generally a person who has a 10% or greater interest in the Corporation together with nonarm's length persons. Assuming the account holder meets the above requirements, the Bonds will not be a "prohibited investment".

There can also be additional special taxes for a TFSA, RESP, RRSP or RRIF on certain tax "advantages" that unduly exploit the attributes of a TFSA, RESP, RRSP or RRIF, including "advantages" on "prohibited investments" and on "non-qualified investments". The rules in the Tax Act that constitute an "advantage" are quite broad, therefore, subscribers should seek independent professional advice as to the applicability of these rules to their particular circumstances.

The income tax information contained in this Item 6 was provided by Buchanan Barry LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, and it is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act, the Regulations and published administrative practices of the CRA. The comments offered do not address the possibility of any challenge to the structure by the CRA under the specific and/or general anti-avoidance rules.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be legal, tax or business advice to any particular prospective purchaser of Bonds. Consequently, Subscribers should seek independent professional advice regarding the income tax consequences of investing in the Bonds, based upon their own particular circumstances.

ITEM 7 - COMPENSATION PAID TO SELLERS AND FINDERS

The Corporation reserves the right to retain agents to, and/or pay persons ("Selling Agents") who, effect sales of the Bonds, in which case, subject to applicable securities legislation, such Selling Agents may receive the following selling commissions:

  • I. Series C Bonds and Series E Bonds: the Corporation may pay up to six percent (6%) of the Gross Proceeds realized from the sale of Series C and Series E Bonds sold directly by Selling Agents; and
  • II. Series G Bonds and Series H Bonds: the Corporation may pay up to ten percent (10%) of the Gross Proceeds realized from the sale of Series G and Series H Bonds sold directly by Selling Agents.

The Corporation may also pay Exempt Market Dealers up to one percent (1%) of the Gross Proceeds realized from the sale of the Bonds as a dealer administration fee.

The officer and directors of the Corporation may also sell Bonds to Subscribers in accordance with applicable securities laws. No commissions will be paid with respect to any sales of Bonds made by the officer and directors.

Rethink and Diversify Securities Inc. ("Rethink"), an Exempt Market Dealer registered in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Prince Edward Island and Ontario, has been engaged to act as a Selling Agent of the Bonds. Mr. Marshall may be paid a referral fee by Rethink of up to five percent (5%) of the Gross Proceeds realized from the sale of Bonds under this Offering to Subscribers referred to Rethink by Mr. Marshall.

Related and Connected Issuer Matters

Certain officers and directors of Rethink are related to the Corporation as follows:

  • Firebird Business Ventures Ltd. ("FBV"), holds Class B shares of the Corporation. Certain officers, directors and shareholders of FBV are also officers, directors and/or shareholders of Rethink and FBV is also a shareholder of Rethink.
  • Jason Park is an officer and shareholder of FBV and is also an officer, director and shareholder of Rethink. Mr. Park is also a dealing representative and shareholder of Rethink. Mr. Park is also a shareholder of 102 Sask.
  • Roger Grona is the CEO and a shareholder of FBV and is a shareholder of 102 Sask.
  • Wendy Rabbie holds Class B shares of the Corporation. Ms. Rabbie's spouse is a dealing representative of Rethink.
  • Michael Del Bel holds Class B shares of the Corporation through 2752367 Ontario Inc. ("275 ON"). Mr. Del Bel is an officer, director and controlling shareholder of 275 ON and is a dealing representative of Rethink and is also a shareholder of Rethink through 275 ON.
  • Mark Majkowski holds Class B shares of the Corporation. Mr. Majkowski is a dealing representative of Rethink.
  • Graz Wealth Management Inc. ("Graz") holds Class B shares of the Corporation. An officer, director and controlling shareholder of Graz is also a dealing representative of Rethink.
  • Monic Financial Ltd. ("Monic") holds Class B shares of the Corporation. Jaclyn Wu is an officer, director and controlling shareholder of Monic and is a dealing representative and shareholder of Rethink. Her spouse is also a dealing representative of Rethink.
  • 102127992 Saskatchewan Inc. ("102 Sask") holds Class C shares of the Corporation. Certain officers, directors and shareholders of 102 Sask are also officers, directors and/or shareholders of Rethink.

Based on the above, Rethink and the Corporation are considered to be "related" and "connected" in accordance with Applicable Laws and as a consequence the relationship between the Corporation and Rethink may lead a reasonable prospective purchaser of the Bonds to question the independence of such parties for purposes of the distribution of the Bonds under this Offering.

Canadian provincial and territorial securities laws require securities registered firms such as Rethink and its dealing representatives, when they trade in or advise with respect to securities of certain issuers to which they, or certain other parties related to them, are related or connected, such as in this case the Corporation, to do so only in accordance with particular disclosure.

Further, these rules require dealers such as Rethink, prior to trading with or advising their clients, to inform clients of the relevant relationships and connections with the issuer of the securities, which in the case of this Offering is the Corporation.

Subscribers should refer to the applicable provisions of the relevant securities laws for the particulars of these rules or consult with a legal advisor.

Payment of Selling Commissions

SCF will pay all Selling Commissions and fees incurred by the Corporation with respect to this Offering pursuant to the terms of the SCF Loan Agreement.

ITEM 8 - RISK FACTORS

The purchase of Bonds pursuant to this Offering should only be made after consulting with independent and qualified sources of investment and tax advice. Investment in the Bonds at this time is highly speculative. The Corporation's business involves a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Purchasers of Bonds must rely on the ability, expertise, judgement, discretion, integrity and good faith of the management of the Corporation. This Offering is suitable for investors who are willing to rely solely upon the management of the Corporation and who could afford a total loss of their investment.

In addition to factors set forth elsewhere in this Offering Memorandum, Subscribers should carefully consider the following factors, many of which are inherent to the ownership of the Bonds. The following is a summary only of some of the risk factors involved in an investment in the Bonds. Subscribers should review these risks with their legal and financial advisors.

Investment and Issuer Risk

    1. Covid-19 pandemic: The Covid-19 pandemic is having an unprecedented material effect on nearly every aspect of the Canadian economy. The continuation or worsening of the Covid-19 pandemic may have the following adverse effects on the business of the Corporation and SCF: (i) a significant number of SCF Borrowers may become unable to make their payments under their SCF Loans on a regular basis or at all; (ii) SCF may not be able to collect the balance of defaulted SCF Loans from SCF Borrowers; (iii) the SCF Creditor Insurance insurer may not be able to cover any or all losses SCF incurs with respect to defaults under SCF Personal Loans; (iv) the SCF Creditor Insurance insurer may cease underwriting new SCF Personal Loans or alter its policy terms making SCF Creditor Insurance impractical to obtain for SCF; (v) SCF may not be able to replace its current insurer thereby resulting in future SCF Personal Loans not having the benefit of SCF Creditor Insurance; (vi) SCF may not be able to lend money to SCF Borrowers at interest rates in excess of the interest rates payable under the Bonds; (vii) SCF may have to alter its lending parameters in order to deploy loan capital in a manner that heightens the risk of default of future SCF Loans; (vii) SCF may not be able to find suitable SCF Borrowers that meet SCF's underwriting criteria due to lack of employment by SCF Borrowers**;** (viii) disruption of supply chains may result in the reduced availability of consumer products for purchase thereby reducing the number of Product Finance Loans that may be written by SCF; (ix) there may be a decreased demand for consumer discretionary products resulting in SCF writing fewer new Product Finance Loans;(x) current and future government stimulus programs, and governmental monetary and fiscal policies may cause high levels of inflation in Canada thereby increasing cost of living resulting in reduced ability for SCF Borrowers to repay loans; and/or (ix) increasing debt loads of existing SCF Borrowers will increases the risk of default by SCF Borrowers under SCF Loans. The occurrence of any one or more of the above events may cause the Corporation to be unable to meet some or all of this payment obligations under the Bonds issued pursuant to this Offering and/or the Bonds issued under the Previous Offerings.
    1. No Review by Regulator: Subscribers under this Offering will not have the benefit of a review of this Offering Memorandum by any securities regulatory authority or regulator.
    1. No Deposit Insurance: The Bonds offered pursuant to this Offering Memorandum are not insured against loss through the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other insurance company or program.
    1. Limited Working Capital: The Corporation will have a limited amount of working capital as the Available Funds of this Offering will be loaned to SCF.
    1. Redemption Risk: There can be no assurance that if additional funding is required by the Corporation to redeem any or all of the Bonds, that such financing will be available on terms satisfactory to the Corporation, or at all. If the Corporation does not have sufficient funds on hand to redeem any or all of the Bonds and cannot secure financing, it will not be able to redeem any or all of the Bonds.
    1. Tax Risk: The tax consequences associated with an investment in Bonds may be subject to changes in federal and provincial tax laws. There can be no assurance that the tax laws will not be changed in a manner that will fundamentally alter the income tax consequences to investors holding or disposing of Bonds. In the event that Corporation ceases to be a public company for the purposes of the Tax Act, there may be adverse tax consequences to a subscriber for Bonds. Upon such an event occurring, the Bonds will cease to constitute qualified investments for Deferred Plan purposes unless corporation resident in Canada whose shares are listed on a designated Canadian stock exchange or make other suitable investment arrangements to maintain Deferred Plan eligibility for the Bonds. If the Bonds cease to be eligible Deferred Plan investments, an annuitant under a Deferred Plan which acquires or holds Bonds may be required to include in his or her income the fair market value of the Bonds acquired by the Deferred Plan, may incur penalties, and may have the registration of the Deferred Plan revoked. There is also a risk that CRA may reassess the returns of Subscribers relating to their investments in the Bonds. See Item 6 - Income Tax Consequences and Deferred Plan Eligibility.
    1. Changes to the Tax Act: No assurance can be given that changes in the Tax Act or future court decisions or the implementation of new taxes will not adversely affect the Corporation or fundamentally alter the income tax consequences to holders of Bonds with respect to acquiring, holding or disposing of Bonds. Investors are strongly encouraged to consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Bonds purchased pursuant to the Offering.
    1. No Advance Tax Ruling: No advance income tax ruling has been applied for or received with respect to the income tax consequences described in the Offering Memorandum. See Item 6 - Income Tax Consequences and Deferred Plan Eligibility.
    1. Conflict of Interest: There are potential conflicts of interest to which the directors and officers of the Corporation may be subject in connection with the operations of the Corporation. Mr. Wilson is an officer, director and through his control of Limestone Asset Management Inc., is a shareholder of SCF. In the event of a default by SCF under the Loan, Mr. Wilson will be in a conflict of interest with respect to such a circumstance. Situations may arise where the directors and officers will be in direct competition with the Corporation. Conflicts, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies under the BCA.
    1. Loan to SCF: The Loan is secured by a general security agreement against the present and after acquired personal property of SCF. The Corporation's security under the Loan may be subordinated to security of granted to Institutional Lenders from whom SCF obtains financing. In the event that SCF defaults in its obligations under the Loan, the Corporation will have to enforce its security registered against SCF. There may be intervening encumbrances or other interests of other third parties, such as Institutional Lenders, that may stand in priority to the Corporation's security. The existence of any intervening encumbrances may prevent the Corporation from realizing on or enforcing some or all of its security against the assets of SCF. There may be principals at law or at equity that may prevent the Corporation from enforcing some or all of it security against SCF and/or its assets. The assets of SCF may not have a sufficient value to satisfy any outstanding debt obligations to the Corporation. If the Corporation's security under the Loan is subordinated and the collateral is realized upon, lenders with security interests in priority to the Corporation's will take priority over the disposition of any of SCF's assets, with the result that there may be insufficient assets to repay the indebtedness under the Loan.
    1. Trust Indenture: The assets of Corporation, which are comprised of the Loan and the Corporation's security under the Loan, are secured in favour of Olympia Trust to the benefit of the Bondholders. This circumstance does not ensure that there will be adequate funds to satisfy the Corporation's obligations of principal and interest under the Bonds in the event of default by the Corporation or a default by SCF under the Loan. All of the risks disclosed in this Item 8 and elsewhere in the OM with respect to the above matter continue to apply notwithstanding the security granted to Olympia Trust pursuant to the Indenture. Further, Bondholders should note that Olympia Trust is the only party that may commence an action against the Corporation in the event of default by the Corporation under the Bonds or against SCF in the event of a default by SCF under the Loan. Bondholders should review the terms of the Indenture with their legal counsel to understand the rights of the Bondholders under the Indenture and in particular, in the event of default by the Corporation of its payment obligations under the Bonds.
    1. No Management Rights: The directors and officers of the Corporation and not Bondholders, will make decisions regarding the management of the Corporation's affairs. Subject to the BCA, Bondholders will have no rights to attend meetings of shareholders or vote in any manner. Subscribers must carefully evaluate the personal experience and business performance of the directors and officers of the Corporation. In very limited circumstances, such as an insolvency proceeding, Bondholders may have a right to vote on such proceeding, but such vote would be limited in scope and at that time, a return on the investment in Bonds would likely be compromised.
    1. Management Ability: The success of the Corporation's business strategy depends to a great extent, on the efforts and abilities of its management and on external factors such as, among other things, the general political and economic conditions that may prevail from time to time, which factors are out of the control of the Corporation. A return on investment for a purchaser of Bonds depends upon SCF and its ability to meet its payment obligations under the SCF Loan. As a result, there is no guarantee that Bondholders will earn a return on their investment in the Bonds. Also, the directors and officer of the Corporation will not be devoting all of their time to the affairs of the Corporation, but will be devoting such time as required to effectively manage the Corporation. The directors and officer of the Corporation are engaged and will continue to be engaged in the search for business prospects on their own behalf and on behalf of others.
    1. Less than Full Offering: There can be no assurance that the Maximum Offering will be sold. If less than $50,000,000 worth of Bonds are sold pursuant to this Offering and the Previous Offerings, then less than the maximum proceeds will be available to the Corporation. Consequently, the Corporation's business development plans and prospects could be adversely affected, since fewer Loans will be advanced by SCF.
    1. Key Person Risk: The success of the Corporation is dependent upon, among other things, the services of key personnel. The loss of any of these individuals, for any reason, could have a material adverse effect on the prospects of the Corporation. Failure to retain or to attract additional key employees with necessary skills could have a material adverse impact upon the Corporation's growth and profitability. The contributions of these individuals to the immediate future operations of the Corporation is likely to be of central importance and the loss of any one of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on the business of the Corporation.
    1. Bonds: The Bonds do not provide for payment of interest to Bondholders other than on the dates set forth in Item 5.1 herein, except at the discretion of the Corporation. Bondholder's will not know if the Corporation will have the financial means to pay interest and/or redeem all or any part of the Bonds until the dates referred to in Item 5.1 herein.
    1. Debt Securities: The Bonds offered by the Corporation are not a direct investment in the SCF Loans but an investment in secured debt securities of the Corporation.
    1. Independent Counsel: No independent counsel was retained on behalf of the Subscribers with respect to this Offering. There has been no review by independent counsel on behalf of the Subscribers of the Offering Memorandum, or any other documentation in relation to the Offering. No due diligence has been conducted on behalf of Subscribers by counsel.
    1. No History: There is limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of the Corporation and its business and prospects. The Corporation is subject to all risks associated with early stage companies, including: start-up losses, uncertainty of revenues, markets and profitability, the need to raise additional funding, the evolving and unpredictable nature of the Corporation's business. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be successful in doing what it is required to do to overcome these risks. No assurance can be given that the Corporation's business activities will be successful.
    1. Illiquidity of Investment: An investment in the Bonds of the Corporation is an illiquid investment. There is currently no market through which the Bonds of the Corporation may be sold. The Corporation is not a "reporting issuer" in any jurisdiction, and a prospectus has not qualified the issuance of the Bonds. The Bonds are subject to a number of restrictions respecting transferability and resale, including a restriction on trading imposed by applicable securities laws. Until the restriction on trading expires, you will not be able to trade the Bonds unless you comply with an exemption from the prospectus and registration requirements under securities legislation. See Item 10 - Resale Restrictions.
    1. Interest Rate Risk: The interest rate return for each Bond series are fixed for the Bond term and are not subject to increase in the event of a general rise in domestic interest rates for other investments.

SCF's Operational and Industry Risk

  1. Credit Risk: Whilst SCF manages exposure to SCF Borrower default through its underwriting process, SCF Borrowers default under SCF Personal Loans is excess of 10% of SCF Personal Loans made. There is no guarantee that SCF will recover any or all of the principal amount of a SCF Loan in the event of default by an SCF Borrower. SCF Loans are unsecured and as a result SCF has no direct collateral to seize in the event of default by a SCF Borrower. SCF is an unsecured creditor with respect to SCF Borrowers and as such its rights as a creditor of an SCF Borrower are subordinate to the rights of secured creditors and may be subordinate to additional creditors under common law and provincial and federal legislation.
    1. Ongoing Deployment of Funds: Despite a business plan developed by SCF to grow its business, there is no guarantee that SCF will have the capacity to continuously deploy all of the proceeds of the Loan advanced by the Corporation. The Corporation's ability to meets it obligations of principal and interest under the Bonds is wholly dependent upon SCF deploying the Loan proceeds and earning interest on SCF Loans in sufficient amounts to make payments to the Corporation under the terms of the Loan.
    1. Reliance on Management: Decisions regarding the management of the affairs of the Corporation and SCF will be made exclusively by their respective officers and directors. Accordingly, investors must carefully evaluate the personal experience and business performance of the officer and directors of the Corporation and the officers and directors of SCF. SCF and the Corporation may retain independent contractors to provide services to them. These contractors will have no fiduciary duty to SCF or the Corporation.
    1. Competitive Industry: SCF will be competing for lending opportunities with a significant number of other entities offering unsecured consumer or personal loans. As a result of this competition, there can be no assurance that SCF will be able to identify suitable lending opportunities or achieve its targeted rate of return or fully invest its available funds.
    1. An SCF Borrower's fraud could cause SCF to suffer losses: The failure of an SCF Borrower to accurately report its financial position could result in the loss of some or all of the principal amount of an SCF Loan including amounts SCF may not have advanced had it possessed complete and accurate information.
    1. SCF's reliance on external products and services: SCF relies on software, products, and services offered by many companies from payroll services, to credit bureau services, decisioning services, bank account verification services, support on loan systems etc. A disruption of any of these services could result in SCF not able to effectively carry on business as expected.
    1. Media Risk: The risk of negative media coverage of SCF, other non-prime lenders similar to SCF, or the nonprime lending industry as a whole may make it more difficult to attract SCF Borrowers.
    1. Technology Risk: SCF uses third party services and systems and high-level security protocols however, security breaches, the risk of data loss, the risk of malware or ransomware, or privacy breaches could cause significant negative impact to SCF.
    1. Changes in Legislation: There can be no assurance that legislation with respect to lenders of unsecured consumer or personal loans, or any administrative practice or interpretation thereof will not be changed in a manner, which adversely affects the business of SCF.

Statutory Rights of Action for Subscribers in the Province of Saskatchewan

In the event that this Offering Memorandum and any amendment thereto or advertising or sales literature used in connection therewith delivered to a purchaser of the securities resident in Saskatchewan contains an untrue statement of a fact that significantly affects, or would reasonably be expected to have a significant effect on, the market price or value of the securities (herein called a "material fact") or omits to state a material fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made (herein called a "misrepresentation"), a purchaser will be deemed to have relied upon that misrepresentation and will have a right of action for damages against the Corporation, the promoters and "directors" (as defined in The Securities Act, 1988 (Saskatchewan)) of the Corporation, every person or company whose consent has been filed with this Offering Memorandum or amendment thereto but only with respect to reports, opinions or statements that have been made by them, every person who signed this Offering Memorandum or any amendment thereto, and every person who or company that sells the securities on behalf of the Corporation under this Offering Memorandum or amendment thereto.

Alternatively, where the purchaser purchased the securities from the Corporation, the purchaser may elect to exercise a right of rescission against the Corporation.

In addition, where an individual makes a verbal statement to a prospective purchaser that contains a misrepresentation relating to the securities and the verbal statement is made either before or contemporaneously with the purchase of the securities, the purchaser has a right of action for damages against the individual who made the verbal statement.

No persons or company is liable, nor does a right of rescission exist, where the persons or company proves that the purchaser purchased the securities with knowledge of the misrepresentation.

    1. with respect to any part of this Offering Memorandum not purporting to be made on an expert's authority, or not purporting to be a copy of, or an extract from an Expert Opinion, unless the Director or Signatory
    • (i) did not conduct an investigation sufficient to provide reasonable grounds for a belief that there had been no misrepresentation, or
    • (ii) believed there had been a misrepresentation.

In an action for damages, the Corporation, the Directors and Signatories will not be liable for all or any part of the damages that they prove do not represent the depreciation in value of the Bonds as a result of the misrepresentation relied upon. The amount recoverable under the right of action shall not exceed the price at which the Bonds were offered for sale.

Statutory Rights of Action of Purchasers in Ontario

Section 6.2 of Ontario Securities Commission Rule 45-501 ("Rule 45-501") provides that when an offering memorandum is delivered to a prospective purchaser resident in the Province of Ontario to whom securities are sold in reliance upon the prospectus exemption contained in section 2.3 [accredited investor] of National Instrument 45- 106, the right of action referred to in Section 130.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario) (the "Act") shall be described in the offering memorandum.

Section 130.1 of the Act and Rule 45-501 provide that in the event that this Offering Memorandum, together with any amendments hereto, is delivered to a prospective purchaser in the Province of Ontario and contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made, a purchaser in Ontario who purchases securities offered by this Offering Memorandum (other than a purchaser purchasing under the accredited investor exemption that is a Canadian financial institution or a Schedule III Bank, the Business Development Bank of Canada incorporated under the Business Development Bank of Canada Act (Canada) or a subsidiary of any such entity if the such entity owns all of the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by the directors of that subsidiary) will have a right of action against the Corporation for damages or rescission as follows:

  • (a) the right of action for rescission or damages will be exercisable by an investor resident in Ontario, only if the investor gives written notice to the Corporation, not later than 180 days after the date on which payment was made for the securities (or after the initial payment was made for the securities, where payments subsequent to the initial payment are made pursuant to a contractual commitment assumed prior to or concurrently with the initial payment), that the investor is exercising this right, or alternatively, in an action for damages, the right of action will be exercisable by an investor only if the investor gives notice to the Corporation not later than the earlier of:
    • (i) 180 days after the investor had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the course of action; or
    • (ii) three years after the date of the transaction giving rise to the cause of action;

Statutory Rights of Action of Purchasers in Newfoundland & Labrador

In addition to any other right or remedy available to you at law, if there is a misrepresentation in this Offering Memorandum, you have a contractual right to sue:

  • (a) to cancel your agreement to buy these Bonds; or
  • (b) for damages.

This contractual right to sue is available to you whether or not you relied on the misrepresentation. If you choose to rescind your purchase, you cannot then sue for damages. In addition, in an action for damages, the defendant will not be liable for all or any portion of damages that it proves do not represent the depreciation in value of your Bonds as a result of the misrepresentation. Furthermore, the amount recoverable in an action for damages will not exceed the price at which the Bonds were offered. There are various defences available to the Corporation should you exercise a right to sue. For example, it has a defence if you knew of the misrepresentation when you purchased the Bonds.

Time limitations

If you intend to rely on the rights described above, you must do so within strict time limitations.

In Newfoundland and Labrador, you must commence your action to rescind your agreement to purchase Bonds within 180 days after you signed the agreement to purchase the Bonds or commence your action for damages within the earlier of:

    1. 180 days after learning of the misrepresentation, or
    1. three years after the transaction.

Statutory Rights of Action for Subscribers in the Province of New Brunswick

If this Offering Memorandum or any information relating to the offering provided to the Subscriber of the securities thereto or any advertising or sales literature used in connection therewith contains a misrepresentation, every Subscriber of Bonds resident in New Brunswick purchasing Bonds pursuant to this Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to have relied on the representation, if it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase, and will have a right of action, in addition to any other rights they may have at law, for damages against the Corporation. Alternatively, where the Subscriber purchased the Bonds from the Corporation, the Subscriber may elect to exercise a right of rescission against the Corporation, in which case the Subscriber shall have no right of action for damages against the Corporation.

In addition, if advertising or sales literature is relied upon by a Subscriber in connection with a purchase of Bonds, the Subscriber shall also have a right of action for damages or rescission against every promoter of the Corporation.

In addition, where an individual makes a verbal statement to a prospective Subscriber that contains a misrepresentation relating to the Bonds and the verbal statement is made either before or contemporaneously with the purchase of the Bonds, the Subscriber has a right of action for damages against the individual who made the verbal statement.

No such individual will be liable if:

  • (a) that individual can establish that he or she cannot reasonably be expected to have known that his or her statement contained a misrepresentation; or
  • (b) no individual is liable if, prior to the purchase of the securities by the Subscriber, that individual notified the Subscriber that the individual's statement contained a misrepresentation.

Neither the Corporation nor any promoter, person or company referred to above will be liable, whether for misrepresentations in the Offering Memorandum, any advertising or sales literature or in a verbal statement:

  • (a) if the Corporation or such promoter, person or company proves that the Subscriber purchased the Bonds with knowledge of the misrepresentation;
  • (b) in an action for damages, for all or any portion of the damages that the Corporation or such promoter, person or company proves do not represent the depreciation in value of the Bonds as a result of the misrepresentation relied on.

No person, other than the Corporation, is liable for misrepresentations in any advertising or sales literature if the person proves:

  • (a) that the advertising or sales literature was disseminated without the person's knowledge or consent and that, on becoming aware of its dissemination, the person gave reasonable general notice that it was so disseminated,
  • (b) that, after the dissemination of the advertising or sales literature and before the purchase of the securities by the Subscriber, on becoming aware of any misrepresentation in the advertising or sales literature the person withdrew the person's consent to it and gave reasonable general notice of the withdrawal and the reason for the withdrawal, or
  • (c) that, with respect to a false statement purporting to be a statement made by an official person or contained in what purports to be a copy of, or an extract from, a public official document, it was a correct and fair representation of the statement or copy of, or extract from, the document, and the person had reasonable grounds to believe and did believe that the statement was true.

No person, other than the Corporation, is liable with respect to any part of the advertising or sales literature not purporting to be made on the authority of an expert and not purporting to be a copy of or, an extract from, a report, opinion or statement of an expert unless the person:

  • (a) failed to conduct such reasonable investigation as to provide reasonable grounds for a belief that there had been no misrepresentation, or
  • (b) believed there had been a misrepresentation.

Any person who at the time the advertising or sales literature was disseminated, sells securities on behalf of the Corporation with respect to which the advertising or sales literature was disseminated is not liable if that person can establish that the person cannot reasonably be expected to have had knowledge that the advertising or sales literature was disseminated or contained a misrepresentation.

In no case will the amount recoverable by a Subscriber exceed the price at which Bonds were sold to the Subscriber.

In New Brunswick, no action may be commenced to enforce such right of action unless the right is exercised:

  • (a) in the case of an action for rescission, 180 days after the date the Subscriber purchased the Bonds; and
  • (b) in the case of any action, other than an action for rescission, the earlier of
    • (i) one (1) year after the Subscriber first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action, or
    • (ii) six (6) years after the date the Subscriber purchased the Bonds.

If this Offering Memorandum or any amendment thereto or any advertising or sales literature (as defined in the Securities Act (Nova Scotia)) used in connection therewith contains a misrepresentation, every Subscriber resident in Nova Scotia of Bonds in reliance on an exemption under the Securities Act (Nova Scotia), the regulations thereunder or a decision of the Nova Scotia Securities Commission pursuant to this Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to have relied on the representation, if it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase, and has a right of action, in addition to any other rights they may have at law, for damages against the Corporation, every director of the Corporation at the date of the Offering Memorandum, and every person who signed this Offering Memorandum, but may elect (while still the owner of any of the Bonds that they purchased) to exercise a right of rescission against the Corporation, in which case he or she shall have no right of action for damages, provided that:

  • (a) neither the Corporation, its directors nor anyone signing this Offering Memorandum will be liable if the Corporation or such person or company proves that the Subscriber purchased the Bonds with knowledge of the misrepresentation;
  • (b) no person or company signing this Offering Memorandum will be liable with respect to any part of the Offering Memorandum not purporting to be made on the authority of an expert and not purporting to be a copy of, or an extract from, a report, opinion or statement of an expert, unless such person or company
    • (i) did not conduct an investigation sufficient to provide reasonable grounds for a belief that there had been no misrepresentation, or
    • (ii) believed there had been a misrepresentation;
  • (c) in an action for damages, neither the Corporation, its directors nor anyone signing this Offering Memorandum will be liable for all or any portion of the damages that it proves do not represent the depreciation in value of the Bonds as a result of the misrepresentation relied upon;
  • (d) in no case shall the amount recoverable under the right of action described herein exceed the price at which the Bonds were sold to the Subscriber.

No action shall be commenced to enforce these rights more than 180 days after the date on which payment was made for the Bonds.

  • (a) neither the Corporation, its directors nor anyone signing this Offering Memorandum will be liable if the Corporation or such person or company proves that the Subscriber purchased the Bonds with knowledge of the misrepresentation;
  • (b) in an action for damages, neither the Corporation, its directors nor anyone signing this Offering Memorandum will be liable for all or any portion of such damages if the Corporation or such person or company proves that they do not represent the depreciation in value of the Bonds as a result of the misrepresentation relied on; and
  • (c) the amount recoverable under this right of action must not exceed the price at which the Bonds purchased by the Subscriber were offered.

In Prince Edward Island, no action may be commenced to enforce such right of action described above unless the right is exercised:

  • (b) in the case of any action, other than an action for rescission, not later than the earlier of:
    • (i) 180 days from the day that the Subscriber first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action, or

Statutory Rights of Action for Subscribers in the Northwest Territories

If an Offering Memorandum contains a misrepresentation, a Subscriber who purchases a security offered by the Offering Memorandum during the period of distribution has, without regard to whether the Subscriber relied on the misrepresentation, a right of action for damages against the Corporation, the selling holder of a Bond on whose behalf the distribution is made, every director of the Corporation at the date of the Offering Memorandum, and every person who signed the Offering Memorandum. If an Offering Memorandum contains a misrepresentation, a Subscriber who purchases a security offered by the Offering Memorandum during the period of distribution has a right of action for rescission against the Corporation or the selling security holder on whose behalf the distribution is made. If the Subscriber elects to exercise a right of action for rescission, the Subscriber shall have no right of action for damages.

A defendant is not liable if he or she proves that the Subscriber purchased the securities with knowledge of the misrepresentation. A person, other than the Corporation and selling security holder, is not liable if he or she proves that:

  • (a) the Offering Memorandum was sent to the Subscriber without the person's knowledge or consent and that, on becoming aware of its being sent, the person had promptly given reasonable notice to the issuer that it had been sent without the knowledge and consent of the person;
  • (b) the person, on becoming aware of the misrepresentation in the Offering Memorandum, had withdrawn their consent to the Offering Memorandum and given reasonable notice to the Corporation of the withdrawal and the reason for it;
  • (c) with respect to any part of the Offering Memorandum purporting to be made on the authority of an expert or purporting to be a copy of, or an extract from, a report, statement or opinion of an expert, the person had no reasonable grounds to believe and did not believe that:
    • (i) there had been a misrepresentation, or
    • (ii) the relevant part of the Offering Memorandum:
      • (1) there had been a misrepresentation, or
      • (2) the relevant part of the offering memorandum did not fairly represent the report, statement or opinion of the expert, or was not a fair copy of, or an extract from, the report, statement or opinion of the expert.

A defendant, other than the Corporation and selling holder of a Bond, is not liable with respect to any part of an Offering Memorandum not purporting to be made on the authority of an expert and not purporting to be a copy of, or an extract from, a report, statement or opinion of an expert, unless the person:

  • A. failed to conduct a reasonable investigation to provide reasonable grounds for a belief that there had been no misrepresentation; or
  • B. believed that there had been a misrepresentation.

A defendant is not liable with respect to a misrepresentation in forward-looking information if the offering memorandum containing the forward-looking information also contains, proximate to the forward-looking information,

  • (a) reasonable cautionary language identifying the forward-looking information as such forecast or projection in the forward-looking information; and
  • (b) a statement of the material factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection set out in the forward-looking information; and
  • (c) reasonable cautionary language identifying the forward-looking information as such forecast or projection in the forward-looking information; and
  • (d) a statement of the material factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection set out in the forward-looking information; and
  • (e) the person had a reasonable basis for drawing the conclusions or making the forecasts or projections set out in the forward-looking information.

In an action for damages, the defendant is not liable for any damages that the defendant proves do not represent the depreciation in value of the Bonds resulting from the misrepresentation. The amount recoverable by a plaintiff must not exceed the price at which the Bonds purchased by the plaintiff were offered. The right of action for rescission or damages is in addition to and without derogation from any other right the Subscriber may have at law. If a misrepresentation is contained in a record incorporated by reference in, or deemed to be incorporated into, an Offering Memorandum, the misrepresentation is deemed to be contained in the Offering Memorandum.

Statutory Rights of Action for Subscribers in the Yukon Territory

In addition to any other right or remedy available to you at law, if there is a misrepresentation in this Offering Memorandum, then you have a statutory right to sue in Yukon:

  • (a) for the Corporation to cancel your agreement to buy these securities; or
  • (b) for damages against the Corporation, every person who was a director of the Corporation at the date of this Offering Memorandum and any other person who signed this Offering Memorandum.

This statutory right to sue is available to you whether or not you relied on the misrepresentation. If you choose to rescind your purchase, you cannot then sue for damages. In addition, in an action for damages, the defendant will not be liable for all or any portion of damages that it proves do not represent the depreciation in value of your securities as a result of the misrepresentation. Furthermore, the amount recoverable in an action for damages will not exceed the price at which the securities were offered. There are various defences available to the persons or companies that you have a right to sue. For example, they have a defence if you knew of the misrepresentation when you purchased the securities.

The defendant will not be liable for a misrepresentation in forward-looking information if the Corporation proves that:

  • (a) this Offering Memorandum contains reasonable cautionary language identifying the forward-looking information as such, and identifying material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from a conclusion, forecast or projection in the forward-looking information, and a statement of material factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection set out in the forward-looking information;and
  • (b) the Corporation has a reasonable basis for drawing the conclusion or making the forecasts and projections set out in the forward-looking information.

However, in Yukon, the above defence does not relieve a person of liability respecting forward-looking information in a financial statement required to be filed under Yukon securities laws.

If you intend to rely on the statutory right to sue described above, you must do so within strict time limitations.

In Yukon, you must commence your action to cancel the agreement within 180 days after the transaction or commence your action for damages within the earlier of:

  • (i) 180 days after learning of the misrepresentation, or
  • (ii) three years after the transaction.

Statutory Rights for Failure to Deliver the Offering Memorandum in Yukon

If you reside in Yukon and you did not receive a copy of this Offering Memorandum before you signed your Subscription Agreement, you have a right to sue for damages, or if you still own your securities, you can choose to cancel your agreement instead of suing for damages.

Statutory Rights of Action for Subscribers in the Nunavut Territory

In addition to any other right or remedy available to you at law, if there is a misrepresentation in this Offering Memorandum, you have a statutory right to sue in Nunavut:

  • (a) the Corporation to cancel your agreement to buy the Bonds; or
  • (b) for damages against the Corporation, any selling security holder on whose behalf the distribution is made, any director of the Corporation (who was a director at the date of this Offering Memorandum), and any person who signed this Offering Memorandum.

This statutory right to sue is available to you whether or not you relied on the misrepresentation. If you choose to rescind your purchase, you cannot then sue for damages. In addition, in an action for damages, the defendant will not be liable for all or any portion of damages that it proves do not represent the depreciation in value of your securities as a result of the misrepresentation. Furthermore, the amount recoverable in an action for damages will not exceed the price at which the securities were offered. There are various defences available to the persons or companies that you have a right to sue. For example, they have a defence if they prove that you knew of the misrepresentation when you purchased the securities.

The defendant will not be liable for a misrepresentation in forward-looking information if the Corporation proves that:

  • (a) this Offering Memorandum contained, proximate to the forward-looking information, reasonable cautionary language identifying the forward-looking information as such, and identifying material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from a conclusion, forecast or projection in the forward-looking information, and a statement of material factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection set out in the forward-looking information; and
  • (b) the Corporation has a reasonable basis for drawing the conclusion or making the forecasts and projections set out in the forward-looking information.

If you intend to rely on the statutory rights to sue described above, you must do so within strict time limitations.

In Nunavut, you must commence your action to cancel the agreement to purchase securities within 180 days after the transaction or commence your action for damages within the earlier of:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders of Limestone Loan Capital Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Limestone Loan Capital Corporation (the "Company") which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2021 and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in shareholders' equity (deficiency) and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section on our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Independent Auditor's Report Page 2

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • · Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • · Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
  • · Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • · Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

Independent Auditor's Report Page 3

· Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this auditor's report is John Cleveland-Iliffe CPA, CA.

Financial instruments

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments – Classification and Measurement ("IFRS 9") requires financial assets to be classified as amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), or fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") based on the entity's business model for managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of these assets. Assessment of the business model approach in use is an accounting judgment. Fair value changes for financial liabilities at FVTPL, which are attributable to changes in the entity's own credit risk, are to be presented in other comprehensive income unless they affect amounts recorded in income. Financial assets and liabilities are recognized in the financial statements when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. The Company has designated its cash as financial assets at FVTPL, which is measured at fair value.

Financial instruments (Continued...)

Financial Assets

The Company only measures debt instruments at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:

  • The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows;
  • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest ("SPPI") on the principal amount outstanding.

Business model assessment:

The Company determines its business model at the level that best reflects how it manages groups of financial assets to achieve its business objective. The business model is not assessed on an instrument-byinstrument basis, but at a higher level of aggregated portfolios and is based on observable factors such as:

  • How the performance of the business model and the financial assets held within that business model are evaluated and reported to the entity's key management personnel;
  • The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and, in particular, the way those risks are managed;
  • How managers of the business are compensated (for example, whether the compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or on the contractual cash flows collected); and
  • The expected frequency, value and timing of sales.

The SPPI test:

As a second step of its classification process, the Company assesses the contractual terms of financial instruments to identify whether they meet the SPPI test.

"Principal" for the purpose of this test is defined as the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition and may change over the life of the financial asset (for example, if there are repayments of principal or amortization of the premium/discount).

In contrast, contractual terms that introduce more than a minimal exposure to risks or volatility in the contractual cash flows that are unrelated to a basic lending arrangement do not give rise to contractual cash flows that are SPPI on the principal amount outstanding. In such cases, the financial asset is required to be measured at FVTPL.

Financial instruments (Continued...)

The SPPI test (Continued...)

The Company has performed the business model assessment and SPPI test and concluded that the interest and lenders fees receivable and loans receivable are financial assets carried at amortized cost.

IFRS 9 requires that an entity recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are measured at amortized costs or FVOCI. Financial assets held by the Company which are measured at FVTPL are not subject to the impairment requirements.

The Company applies an expected credit loss ("ECL") model, where credit losses that are expected to transpire in future years irrespective of whether a loss event has occurred or not as at the statement of financial position date, are provided for. The Company assesses and segments its loan portfolio into performing (Stage 1), under-performing (Stage 2) and non-performing (Stage 3) categories as at each statement of financial position date. Loans are categorized as under-performing if there has been a significant increase in credit risk. The Company utilizes internal risk rating changes, delinquency and other identifiable risk factors to determine when there has been a significant increase or decrease in the credit risk of a loan. Indicators of a significant increase in credit risk include a recent degradation in internal Company risk rating based on the non-sufficient fund ("NSF") transactions on quarterly interest payments, custom delinquency, and inability to repay principal balance at maturity as per loan's terms. Under-performing loans are recategorized to performing only if there is deemed to be a substantial decrease in credit risk. Loans are categorized as non-performing if there is objective evidence that such loans will likely charge-off in the future which the Company has determined to be when loans are delinquent for greater than 30 days. For performing loans, the Company is required to record an allowance for loan losses equal to the expected losses on that group of loans over the ensuing twelve months. For under-performing and non-performing loans, the Company is required to record an allowance for loan losses equal to the expected losses on those groups of loans over their remaining life.

The Company does not provide any additional credit to borrowers who are delinquent. In order for additional credit to be advanced to a borrower, they must be current on their pre-existing loan and meet the Company's credit and underwriting requirements.

The SPPI test (Continued...)

The key inputs in the measurement of ECL allowances are as follows:

  • The probability of default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon;
  • The exposure at default is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date;
  • The loss given default is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time; and
  • Forward-looking indicators ("FLIs").

Ultimately, the ECL is calculated based on the probability weighted expected cash collected shortfall against the carrying value of the loan and considers reasonable and supportable information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future events and economic conditions that may impact the credit profile of the loans. Forward-looking information is considered when determining significant increase in credit risk and measuring expected credit losses. Forward-looking macroeconomic factors are incorporated in the risk parameters as relevant. From an analysis of historical data, the Company has identified and reflected in its ECL allowance those relevant FLIs variables that contribute to credit risk and losses within the Company's loan portfolio. Within the Company's loan portfolio, the most highly correlated variables are general economic conditions including but not limited to, unemployment rates, individual bankruptcy and insolvency rates, consumer debt-to-income indicators, mortgage and other key lending rates, and the rates of inflation.

With respect to financial statements items classified as loans and receivable, the Company considers both historical analysis and forward-looking information in determining expected credit losses. As at the year end date, all loans and receivables are due to be settled at their maturity. The Company considers the probability of default and the capacity of counterparties to meet their contractual obligation in the near term.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"). A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

The Company classifies accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related party, amounts from prebond closing, and long-term debt as measured at amortized cost.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2021

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued...)

Financial instruments (Continued...)

Derecognition of financial instruments

A financial asset is derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the Company has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset. The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired, the impairment provision is based upon the expected loss.

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position if there is currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Quantitative information on the impact on the Company's statement of financial position if all amounts were set off is required.

Cash

Cash consists of cash on deposit. Amounts are carried at fair value.

Share Capital

Common shares

Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

Preferred shares

Preferred shares are classified as equity if they are non-redeemable, or redeemable only at the Company's option, and any dividends are discretionary. Dividends thereon are recognized as distributions within the statement of equity.

Preferred shares are classified as liabilities if they are redeemable on a specific date or at the option of the shareholders, or if dividend payments are not discretionary. Dividends thereon are recognized as interest expenses in profit or loss as accrued.

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 taxes payable with regards to previous years.

Deferred tax is recorded using the statement of financial position liability method, providing 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 statement of financial position 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. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a future tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against that excess.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates and other sales tax or duty.

Interest from loans receivable is recognized in the period in which it is earned if it is probable the Company will collect the interest.

The Company recognizes lender fees income in accordance with contractual agreements, as the fees are earned and when collection is reasonably assured. Refer to note 8.

Provisions

The Company recognizes a provision, if as a result of a prior event, the Company has a current obligation requiring the outflow of resources to settle. Provisions are recorded at the Company's best estimates of the most probable outcome of any future settlement.

Critical judgements and estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The following discusses the most significant accounting judgments and estimates that the Company has made in preparing the financial statements:

Allowance for credit losses

Expected credit losses method is applied in determining the allowance for credit losses on loans receivable. The key inputs in the measurement of ECL allowances, all of which are subject to accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions are discussed in note 2.

Changes in accounting policies

Upcoming changes in accounting policies

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1").

On January 23, 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, providing a more general approach to the classification of liabilities based on the contractual agreements in place at the reporting date. The amendments apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Earlier adoption is permitted.

The amendments to IAS 1 affect only the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and seek to clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should be based on the rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period. Further, the amendments make clear that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability and that the settlement of a liability refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of new standard on its financial statements.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Fair value

IFRS 7 requires that the Company disclose information about the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities. Fair value estimates are made at the statement of financial position date based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Company's statement of financial position are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.

Hierarchical levels, defined by IFRS 7 and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with inputs to fair valuation of these financial assets and liabilities, are as follows:

  • Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
  • 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) (Level 2); and
  • Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2021 in valuing the Company's financial assets carried at fair values as discussed in note 2:

The Company determined that cash amounting to $334,403 (2020 - $199,775) is the only financial asset carried at fair value and is classified as Level 1.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2021

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued...)

Fair value (Continued...)

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, interest and lender fees receivable, loans receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related party, amounts from pre-bond closings, and longterm debt. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant market, credit, concentration, interest, currency and liquidity risks arising from these financial instruments except as noted below. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value unless otherwise noted.

Risk management

i) Market price risk

Market price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting similar financial instruments traded in the market.

The Company is not currently exposed to market price risk as at December 31, 2021.

ii) 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.

Financial assets which potentially expose the Company to credit risk consist principally of loans receivable and interest and lender fee receivable. The Company seeks to mitigate its exposure to credit risk by performing credit reviews on borrowers on a regular basis.

As at December 31, 2021, the Company had $12,484,212 (2020 - $4,420,615) representing 94.8% (2020 - 93.2%) of the Company's total assets in loans receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2021, 100% (2020 - 100%) of the revenues earned and 100% (2020 - 100%) of the loans receivable, and interest and lender fee receivable, were from SCF. The Company has applied the expected credit loss model as described in note 2 - financial instruments and has concluded that the loans receivable are classified under performing (stage 1) with no interest delinquency issues and principal and interest are due within 12 months. Therefore, $Nil (2020 - $Nil) has been provided for allowance for expected credit losses.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2021

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued...)

Risk Management (Continued...)

iii) Concentration risk

Concentration risk arises as a result of the concentration of exposures within the same category, whether it is product type, industry sector or counterparty type. As at December 31, 2021, $12,484,212 (2020 - $4,420,615) representing 94.8% (2020 - 93.2%) of the Company's total assets have been placed in loans receivable.

iv) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or fair values of financial instruments. The Company has deposits in financial institutions and fixed interest loans receivable and payable with long term maturities; therefore the interest rate risk for the Company is considered minimal.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued...)

Risk Management (Continued...)

v) Currency risk

The Company may hold assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar - its functional currency. Consequently, the Company is exposed to risks that the exchange rate of its currency relative to other currencies may change in a manner that has an adverse effect on the value of the portion of the Company's assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars, absent any changes in market price or investment specific events.

The Company has no material exposure to currency risk as at December 31, 2021.

vi) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to fair value. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual and projected cash flows to ensure that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. Loans receivable and long-term debt have matching maturities; therefore, the liquidity risk for the Company is considered minimal.

vii) Cash flow risk

Cash flow risk is the risk that future cash flows associated with a monetary financial instrument will fluctuate in amount. In the case of a floating rate debt instrument, such fluctuations will result from a change in the effective interest rate of the financial instrument, usually without a corresponding change in its fair value.

11. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The capital of the Company consists of shareholders' equity. The Company's objectives when managing its capital are to create growth in shareholders' equity, to safeguard the Company's ability to continue its operations as a going concern, to allow the Company to respond to changes in economic and/or marketplace conditions and to maintain a flexible capital structure that optimizes the cost of capital at an acceptable risk.

To reach its objectives, the Company will balance its overall capital structure through the issuance of debt and share capital, the payment of dividends and by undertaking other activities as deemed appropriate under specific circumstances.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. The Company expects that its current capital resources will be sufficient to discharge its liabilities and continue its operations as at December 31, 2021.
