Independent Auditor's Report
To the Shareholders of Targeted Microwave Solutions Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Targeted Microwave Solutions Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 2 to the financial statements, which describes events or conditions that indicate a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters, that in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Except for the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.
==> picture [612 x 127] intentionally omitted <==
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 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.
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 to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Barry Hartley.

Targeted Microwave Solutions Inc. Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 Expressed in US dollars, except number of shares
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Targeted Microwave Solutions Inc. (the “Company” or “TMS”) was incorporated on April 10, 2015 under the British Columbia Business Corporation Act and is domiciled in Canada. The Company is a reporting issuer in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario. The Company's shares are listed for trading on the NEX board of the Toronto Stock Exchange, Venture (“TSX-V”) under the Tier 2 symbol "TMS.H". The Company's head office is located at Suite 2300 – 1066 West Hastings Street Vancouver, BC, V6E 3X2. The registered and records office is located at Suite 1000, 925 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 3L2.
The Company is an industrial clean technology company in the business of developing patented microwave-based application technologies to dry, decontaminate, physically upgrade and fully eliminate or reduce environment harming emissions. The technology has specific application to mass-scale use of industrial aggregates, energy producing biomass, low-rank coals and other materials for use by power utilities and industrial companies. The Company formerly completed the construction and commissioning of a commercial scale pilot plant facility (“King William Plant”) located in King William, Virginia, USA where it previously tested advances in research and development of its microwave-based technology. The Company disposed of the King William Plant in June of 2018. The Company had a research and development office in Gaithersburg, Maryland, which was closed in July of 2017.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on May 3, 2024.
(b) Basis of measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis since inception, except for those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Additionally, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
(c) Going concern
These consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to continue to raise financing and to set a viable path forward since the Company has terminated all employees, closed its US offices and disposed of the King William Plant and related assets.
The Company has incurred operating losses, working capital deficits, negative operating cash flows and an accumulated deficit as outlined in the table below. Since inception, the Company had no source of operating revenues and expects to incur further losses as it identifies a viable path forward. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Realization values may be substantially different from the carrying values shown. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material. The Company will have to raise funds to continue operations and, although it has been successful in doing so in the past, there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future.

Targeted Microwave Solutions Inc. Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 Expressed in US dollars, except number of shares
As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company reported the following:
| December 31, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | |
|---|---|---|
| Net loss for the year | $ (37,732) | $ (32,651) |
| Working capital deficit | $ (421,948) | $ (384,216) |
| Accumulated deficit | $ (16,334,047) | $ (16,296,315) |
(d) Functional currency and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“US dollars”), the Company’s presentation currency. The functional currency of the Company and all of its subsidiaries is the US dollar.
(e) Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The Company’s management makes judgements in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. In addition, the preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires that the Company's management makes assumptions and estimates of effects of uncertain future events on carrying amounts of the Company's assets and liabilities, as well as expenses at the end of the reporting period. Actual future outcomes could differ from present estimates and assumptions, potentially having material future effects on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting effects on the carrying amounts of the Company's assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively. The Company is also required to make critical judgements in applying certain of the Company's accounting policies.
The significant assumptions about the future or other major sources of estimation uncertainty or application of judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the Company's assets and liabilities are as follows:
i. Functional currency
The functional currency of each of the Company's subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The Company has determined the functional currency of each entity is the US dollar. Determination of the functional currency may involve certain judgements to determine the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders the functional currency of its entities if there is a change in events and/or conditions.
ii. Contingencies
Due to the nature of the Company’s operations, various legal matters can arise from time to time. In the event that management’s estimate of the future resolution of these matters changes, the Company will recognize the effects of the changes in its consolidated financial statements for the period in which such changes occur.
iii. Provisions
Management’s judgment is required to determine amounts to be recognized for liabilities of uncertain timing or amounts that have arisen as a result of past transactions. Provisions are the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
10
Targeted Microwave Solutions Inc. Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 Expressed in US dollars, except number of shares
iv. Going concern
Management has applied judgments in the assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern when preparing its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20213. Management prepares the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis unless management either intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. Management considered a wide range of factors relating to debt repayment schedules and potential sources of financing. As a result of the assessment, management concluded the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate based on cash flow forecasts and potential access to financing for the future twelve months.
v. Income taxes
Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes liabilities and contingencies for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’s current understanding of the tax law. For matters where it is probable that an adjustment will be made, the Company records its best estimate of the tax liability including the related interest and penalties in the current tax provision. Management believes they have adequately provided for the probable outcome of these matters; however, the final outcome may result in a materially different outcome than the amount included in the tax liabilities.
In addition, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward to the extent there are sufficient taxable temporary differences (deferred tax liabilities) relating to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity against which the unused tax losses can be utilized. However, utilization of the tax losses also depends on the ability of the taxable entity to satisfy certain tests at the time the losses are recouped.
3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
The Company adopted Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) from January 1, 2023. Although the amendments did not result in any changes to the accounting policies themselves, they impacted the accounting policy information disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. The amendments require the disclosure of “material”, rather than “significant”, accounting policies. The amendments also provide guidance on the application of materiality to disclosure of accounting policies, assisting entities to provide useful, entity-specific accounting policy information that users need to understand the financial statements.
The material accounting policy information used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are as follows:
(a) Basis of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has power over an investee, when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from the investee and when the Company has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
11
Targeted Microwave Solutions Inc. Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 Expressed in US dollars, except number of shares
Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposition or loss of control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The principal subsidiaries of the Company and geographic locations at December 31, 2023 were as follows:
| follows: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Country of | Ownership | Functional | |
| Incorporation | Interest | Currency | |
| Targeted Microwave Solutions USA Inc. | USA | 100% | US Dollars |
| TMS-MD, Inc. | USA | 100% | US Dollars |
| Targeted Microwave Solutions HongKongLimited | HongKong | 51% | US Dollars |
(b) Non-controlling interest
Non-controlling interest, presented as part of equity, represents the portion of a subsidiary's profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Company. The Company attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries between the shareholders of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests.
(c) Functional currency translation
The functional currency of the parent entity and its subsidiaries is the US dollar. The presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is the US dollar. Accordingly, in preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (“Foreign Currencies”) are initially translated at the spot rate at the date of transaction. At the end of each reporting period, Foreign Currency balances are translated as follows: (i) monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Foreign Currencies are translated using the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; (ii) non-monetary assets denominated in Foreign Currencies that are measured at other than fair value are translating using the rates of exchange at the transaction dates; (iii) non-monetary assets denominated in Foreign Currencies that are measured at fair value are translated using the rates of exchange at the dates those fair values are determined; and (iv) income statement items are translated using the average monthly exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses are recognized on a net basis in earnings or loss from operations.
(d) Income taxes
Income tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in net loss/income except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss/income.
Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the yearend date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill and temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting year, the Company reviews unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

(e) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one party and a financial liability or equity instrument of another party. Financial assets of the Company include cash. Financial liabilities of the Company include accounts payable and loan payable.
Classification
The following table outlines the classification of the Company’s financial instruments:
| Financial assets/liabilities | |
|---|---|
| Cash | FVTPL |
| Accounts payable | Amortized cost |
| Loan payable | Amortized cost |
Measurement
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.
Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL
Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise.
Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity.
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when the terms of the liability are modified such that the terms and / or cash flows of the modified instrument are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss.
(f) Share capital
The Company's common shares and share options are classified as equity instruments to the extent they do not meet the definition of a financial liability. Common shares issued in the Company's equity are recorded at the net proceeds received which is the fair value of the consideration received less costs incurred in connection with the issuance.
(g) Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date using Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
13
Targeted Microwave Solutions Inc. Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 Expressed in US dollars, except number of shares
The fair value is estimated at grant date and each tranche is recognized on a graded-vesting basis over the period the options vest. At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimated of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in comprehensive loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to contributed surplus.
Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.
(h) Basic and diluted earnings or loss per share
Basic earnings or loss per share represents the earnings or loss attributable to common shareholders for the year, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share represents the earning or loss for the year, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of dilutive shares resulting from the exercise of stock options, warrants and other similar instruments where the inclusion of these would not be anti-dilutive.
(i) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective
Accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued and have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
4. LOAN PAYABLE
| Total | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Loan payable at December | 31, | 2022 | and | 2023 | $ | 150,460 |

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and loan payable.
(a) Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying values of cash, accounts payable and loans payable approximate their fair values because of their current nature.
The categories of the fair value hierarchy that reflect the significance of inputs used in making fair value measurements are as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (supported by little or no market activity).
Cash is measured using Level 1 inputs.
9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED RISKS
The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks as a result of its financial instruments, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The overall risk management strategy seeks to reduce potential adverse effects on the financial performance. Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The risks associated with the financial instruments and the policies on how these risks are mitigated are set out below.
(a) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to raise the funds required through future equity financings, asset sales or sales from contracts, or a combination thereof. The Company has no regular cash flow from its operating activities. The Company manages its liquidity risk by preparing and reviewing forecasted expenditure and cash flow budgets. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of annual budgets and significant expenditures and commitments. Failure to realize additional funding, as required, could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of further development of the Company’s plans.

Targeted Microwave Solutions Inc. Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 Expressed in US dollars, except number of shares
The Company had a consolidated cash balance of $2,467 as at December 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $nil) with a working capital deficit of $421,948 (December 31, 2022 –$384,216). As such, the Company is exposed to liquidity risk. In order to address this liquidity risk, the Company is actively seeking additional financing in the form of debt or equity (or both). Should the Company be unsuccessful in raising funds, it may not be able to satisfy its existing financial obligations or fund future growth. Liquidity risk is assessed as high.
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that give rise to commitments for future minimum payments. The following table summarizes the remaining contractual maturities of the Company's financial obligations as at December 31, 2023:
| December | December | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Within 1year | 2 to 5years | Over 5years | 31, 2023 | 31, 2022 | |
| Accounts payable | $ 241,300 | $ - | $ - | $ 241,300 | $ 200,399 |
| Accrued liabilities | 32,795 | - | 32,795 | 37,350 | |
| Loanpayable | 150,460 | - | - |
150,460 | 150,460 |
| $424,555 | $- | $- | $424,555 | $388,209 |
(b) Capital management
The Company's objectives of capital management are to safeguard its ability to support the Company's normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and support any potential go-forward strategies for the Company. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments based on the funds available. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business.
The Company’s operations are currently not generating cash flow, and as such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out research and development, which is currently suspended, and fund administrative costs, the Company will use its existing working capital, and raise additional amounts as needed.
Companies in this stage typically rely upon equity and debt financing or joint venture partnerships to fund its operations. There is no certainty with respect to the Company’s ability to raise capital.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis. At December 31, 2023, the Company expects that it will be able to meet its obligations based on the Company’s ability to obtain funding from investors. At December 31, 2023, there was no externally imposed capital and requirements to which the Company is subject.
(c) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from the interest rate impact on cash because these are the only financial instruments that are impacted by interest, based on variable market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk due to the short-term maturity of its monetary assets and liabilities and amounts owing being non-interest bearing.
(d) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Cash is held in highly-rated financial institutions and risk of loss is considered to be low. At December 31, 2023, the maximum exposure to credit risk is $2,467 (December 31, 2022 - $nil).

(e) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency rates. Financial instruments are exposed to currency risk where those instruments are denominated in currencies that are not the same as the functional currency of the entity that holds them which results in exchange gains and losses which may impact net income or loss.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, sales tax receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are denominated in Canadian dollars. The following are the most significant areas of exposure to currency risk, shown in U.S. dollars.
| 2023 | 2022 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cash | $ 2,467 | $ - |
| Sales tax receivable | 140 | 3,993 |
| Accountspayable and accrued liabilities | (179,975) | (143,251) |
| $ (177,368) | $ (139,258) |
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized a foreign exchange loss of $5,467 (December 31, 2022 – gain of $9,589). Management does not hedge its exposure to foreign exchange risk. Management will continue to review its foreign denominated balances to determine the appropriate holdings to naturally hedge its Canadian dollar expenses.
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can impact marginally on the value of cash, sales tax receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. A 10% variation in the US Dollar would result in a fluctuation of approximately $17,700 in net loss.
