INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of Bold Capital Enterprises Ltd. ,
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of BOLD CAPITAL ENTERPRISES LTD. (Company), which comprise the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the statements of net income and comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years 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, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
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 of 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.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information is comprised of the information provided in the Management’s discussion and analysis report, excluding the financial statements and our auditor’s report on these statements.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not extend to the other information and we do not express any form of assurance on this information.
Regarding our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, to assess whether there is a significant inconsistency between this information and the financial statements, or the understanding we have acquired during the audit, or whether the other information appears to include any material misstatement, in any other way.
If, in the light of the work we have done, we conclude that there is a material misstatement in the other information, we have the obligation to report it. We have nothing to report in this regard.
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 International Financial Reporting Standards 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.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (continued)
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
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 judgment 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;
-
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.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and we communicate to them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and, where applicable, the related safeguards.
The partner responsible for the audit engagement, at the end of which the current auditor’s report is issued, is David Bélanger.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As at December 31, 2020 and 2019
1. STATUTES OF INCORPORATION AND NATURE OF ACTIVITIES
The Company was incorporated on May 16, 2018 under the Canada Business Corporations Act to become a Capital Pool Company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. (the “Exchange”), according to the provisions of Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange Corporate Finance Manual. The Company’s shares were admitted to trading on April 23, 2019 under the symbol BOLD.P.
The address of the Company's registered office is 70, Dalhousie Street, Suite 300, Québec, Canada.
The principal business of the Company is the identification and evaluation of assets or business with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction under policies of the Exchange. The Company must complete a Qualifying Transaction, which is subject to the approval of the Exchange. In the case of non-arm’s length Qualifying Transaction, defined by the Policy 2.4, the Company must also receive Majority of the Minority shareholders’ approval, in accordance with the Policy 2.4.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation and evaluation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The accounting policies described below have been applied on a uniform basis in the financial statements.
The financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on April 26, 2021
Basis of measurement
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the going concern assumption and on the historical cost basis.
Presentation and functional currency
The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the functional currency of the Company.
Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected.
Information related to critical judgments in applying accounting policies and estimates that have the most significant impact on the financial statements relates to deferred income taxes and fair value of stock options.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As at December 31, 2020 and 2019
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income taxes
The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on deductible or taxable temporary differences between the carrying value and tax values of assets and liabilities using enacted or substantively enacted income tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be absorbed. A deferred tax asset must be recognized for any deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is likely that a taxable income, to which these deductible temporary differences can be charged, will be available.
Financial instruments
Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument and they are measured initially at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, when applicable.
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognized when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expired.
Classification of financial assets
The classification is determined by both:
-
The entity’s business model for managing the financial assets;
-
The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if they meet the following conditions:
-
They are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect their contractual cash flows;
-
The contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company's cash falls into this category of financial assets.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Financial instruments
Classification and subsequent measurement of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The Company's accounts payable fall into this category of financial liabilities.
Share issuance costs
Costs directly identifiable with the issuance of shares are deferred as an asset until the issuance of the shares. At issuance, these costs are recorded as a reduction of share capital. In case of abandonment, these costs are recognized in net income.
Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments
The Company has a stock option plan under which directors, executives, employees and consultants can be granted stock options of the Company.
Each grant is treated separately with its proper vesting period and its own fair value at the grant date, determined by the Black & Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of each grant according to the number of options granted that should be vested, and any impact is immediately recognized. Any consideration paid by the employees on exercise or purchase of stock options is credited to share capital. The value attributed to stock options is transferred to share capital at the issuance of common shares or to contributed surplus when they expire.
In the normal course of business, the Company grants options in exchange for goods or services to parties other than directors, executives or employees. For these transactions, the Company evaluates the goods or services received and the increase in equity, which is the counterpart, directly to the fair value of goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be reliably estimated. In this case, the fair value is the value of the options issued on the market at the date the goods or services are received.
Costs relating to assets or businesses acquisition
All costs incurred to identify and evaluate assets or businesses that may be acquired are recognized as expenses at the time they are incurred.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid financial instruments, with an initial term of three months or less, when appropriate.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As at December 31, 2020 and 2019
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
New accounting standards applied
On January 1, 2020, the Company applied the following standards:
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting
On March 29, 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published a comprehensive revision of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. The IASB decided to revise the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting because significant issues were not addressed, and some guidance was outdated or unclear. The revised version includes, for example, a new section on evaluation, guidance on the presentation of financial performance and improved definitions of an asset and a liability and guidance to support those definitions. The conceptual framework assists entities in developing their accounting policies when no IFRS applies to a particular situation. This revision did not have any impact on the Company's financial statements.
IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
On October 31, 2018, the IASB published an amendment to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The amendment, entitled “Definitions of Material”, clarifies the definition of material in IAS 1 and the explanations accompanying that definition, and aligns the definitions used in the various IFRS standards. This amendment did not have any impact on the Company's financial statements.
New standards and interpretations not yet effective
The IASB and the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) have published new standards whose application will be mandatory for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2020 or subsequent years. Many of these new accounting policies do not apply to the Company, so they are not discussed below.
IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements
The IASB published an amendment to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements. The amendment concerns the classification of liabilities as current or non-current and only affects the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position, and not the amount or timing of recognition of any asset, liability income or expense, or the information that entities disclose about those items. The provisions of this amendment will apply retrospectively to financial statements beginning on or after January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted.
On July 15, 2020, the IASB published an amendment to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements that postpones the effective date to financial statements beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of this amendment on its financial statements.

4. SHARE CAPITAL (continued)
The Seed Shares (3,800,000 shares) are subject to an escrow agreement: 10% of the escrowed Seed Shares will be released from escrow on the acceptance by the Exchange of the Company’s Qualifying Transaction (the “Initial Release”). An additional 15% will be released on each of the dates that are 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 30 months and 36 months following the Initial Release. Any common shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options prior to completion of the Qualifying Transaction must be deposited in escrow and will be subject to escrow until the Initial Release is issued.
On April 16, 2019, the Company closed its Initial Public Offering (the "IPO") for the issuance of 3,464,500 common shares (the "Offering") of the Company at $0.10 per share for gross proceeds of $346,450. The Company paid the Agent a cash commission of $34,645 and issued to the Agents broker options to purchase 346,450 common shares at $0.10 per share until April 16, 2021.
5. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES
The Company includes the total of the equity in the capital definition. In terms of capital management, the Company’s objectives are to preserve its ability to continue its operation to ensure its sustainability, to complete a Qualifying Transaction and to provide an adequate return to its shareholders, and to ensure sufficient equity financing to find a Qualifying Transaction in a way that maximizes the shareholders’ return given the assumed risks of the operation. The Company may issue new shares following approval by the Board of Directors.
Under Exchange Policy 2.4 in effect until December 31, 2020, the Company is restricted in its use of proceeds raised from the issuance of common shares. The proceeds may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, with the exception that not more than the lesser of 30% of the gross proceeds from the issuance of shares or $210,000 may be used to cover prescribed costs of issuing the common shares or administrative and general expenses of the Company.
As at December 31, 2020, the Company incurred costs of issuing common shares or administrative or general expenses, the total of which exceeds the maximum permitted by Policy 2.4. However, the restriction that not more than 30% of the gross proceeds from the issuance of shares or $210,000 may be used, was withdrawn on January 1, 2021.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As at December 31, 2020 and 2019
6. POTENTIAL TAX BENEFITS
Non-capital losses that can be used to reduce future income taxes are of $349,700 at the federal and the provincial levels. The Company may take advantage of the tax benefit related to these losses for the following carry-over periods:
2037 - $ 20,600 2038 - $ 27,100 2039 - $ 62,000 2040 - $ 240,000
No deferred tax asset has been recognized with respect to these losses (Note 3).
7. STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company has adopted an incentive stock option plan which provides that the Board of Directors may from time to time, in its discretion, and in accordance with the Exchange requirements, grant to directors, officers and employees of the Company and its affiliates and to consultants and management company employees non-transferable options to purchase common shares for a period of up to ten years from the date of the grant, provided that the number of common shares reserved for issuance may not exceed 10% of the total issued and outstanding common shares after the completion of the contemplated initial public offering.
Pursuant to the stock option plan, the maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance in any 12-month period to any one optionee other than a consultant may not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares at the date of the grant. The maximum number of common shares reserved - for issuance in any 12 month period to any consultant may not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding common shares at the date of the grant.
On April 16, 2019, the Company granted stock options to directors and officers of the Company for the right to purchase 726,450 common shares at a price of $0.10 per share exercisable until April 16, 2024. The Company recorded a share-based payment of $54,000 on these stock options. The fair value of the options was determined using the Black & Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: Share price on grant date of $0.10; Risk-free interest rate of 1.58%; Dividend yield of Nil; Expected volatility of 100%; and Expected life of 5 years.
The value of these options has been recognized as stock-based compensation in net income.
During the year 2019, the Company issued to the Agents broker of its IPO options to purchase 346,450 common shares at $0.10 per share until April 16, 2021. The Company recorded a fair value of the Agent's options of $18,000 using the Black & Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: Share price on grant date of $0.10; Risk-free interest rate of 1.58%; Dividend yield of Nil; Expected volatility of 100%; and Expected life of 2 years.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As at December 31, 2020 and 2019
8. INCOME PER SHARE
The basic income per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (net loss) assumed by the common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The diluted net income (net loss) per share is calculated giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if the instruments to issue common shares were exercised at the later of the beginning of the year or the issuance date. The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of the instruments.
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the diluted net loss per share was the same as the basic net loss per share since the dilutive effect of stock options was not included in the calculation: otherwise the effect would have been antidilutive. The number of stock options not included in the calculation for the year ended December 31, 2020 is 1,072,900 stock options (2019 - 1,072,900). Accordingly, the diluted net loss per share was calculated using the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding.
9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related parties are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the Company's activities, including any of its directors. Key management personnel of the Company includes the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer and any director.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, no compensation was paid to the main executive. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the compensation paid, comprised of options, represented a stock-based compensation of $54,000 (Note 7).
10. FINANCIAL RISKS
Objectives and politics concerning financial risk management
The Company considers managing risk as being an integral part of its development and diversification strategies. It is exposed to various risks related to its financial instruments. The Company focusses on actively securing short to medium term cash flows by minimizing the exposures to financial markets. The Company does not enter into financial instrument agreements including derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Financial risks
The Company’s most significant financial risk exposure is as follows.
Credit risk
Credit risk relates to the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. As at December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company holds its cash in a trust account in a law firm.

Bold Capital Enterprises Ltd.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As at December 31, 2020 and 2019
10. FINANCIAL RISKS (continued)
Financial risks
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company is exposed to this risk primarily through its accounts payable. However, as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, it does not incur any liquidity risk due to its available cash.
