Trenchant Capital Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

1. Nature and continuance of operations

Trenchant Capital Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on December 17, 2009.

The Company’s head office is located at Suite 1790, 1066 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 2X1. The Company has four subsidiaries: 0960128 B.C. Ltd., 1141864 B.C. Ltd., Trenchant Life Sciences Investments Corp and 1295277 B.C. Ltd.

These financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. The Company has incurred losses since its inception and had an accumulated deficit of $5,303,380 at June 30, 2021, which has been funded primarily by issuance of securities debentures and loans from related parties. This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

The global impact of COVID-19 has resulted in significant volatility in global stock markets and has fostered a great deal of uncertainty as to the health of the global economy over the next 12 to 18 months. As such, companies such as ours are subject to liquidity risks in instances where cash positions are unable to be maintained or appropriate financing is unavailable. These factors are likely to have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to raise equity and/or obtain loans and other credit facilities in the future on terms favourable to the Company and its management.

The Company was formed as a Capital Pool Company on the TSXV. In May 2011, the Company completed its qualifying transaction as a resource issuer and was engaged in the exploration and development of natural resource properties. In May 2016, the Company pursued a change of business to become a Investment Issuer on the TSXV (the “Change of Business”). In connection with the Change of Business, the Company changed its name to Trenchant Capital Corp. on May 16, 2017 and commenced trading on the TSXV under the symbol “TCC.H”. The Company’s secured convertible debentures commenced trading on the TSXV under the symbol “TCC.DB” and “TCC.DB.A”.

The CSE has approved the listing of the Company’s common shares, 9% Series A convertible debentures and 8% Series B convertible debentures (collectively, the “Securities”) on the CSE (the “CSE Listing”). The Securities commenced trading on the CSE at market open on August 28, 2020 under the symbols “TCC”, “TCC.DB” and “TCC.DB.A” respectively. In connection with the CSE Listing, the Company delisted the Securities from the TSXV at the close of market on August 27, 2020.

2. Significant accounting policies and basis of preparation

2. Significant accounting policies and basis of preparation (cont’d)

Statement of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in these financial statements are consistent with those used in the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021. There have been no changes from the accounting policies applied in the March 31, 2021 financial statements. The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the related amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. In management's opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the financial year. Annual results may differ from interim results. The significant judgments made by management applied in the preparation of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021. For a description of the critical accounting estimates and assumptions, please refer to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of property and equipment consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Where an item of property and equipment comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of property and equipment. Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of property and equipment that is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures, are capitalized. As at June 30, 2021, property and equipment consist of furniture and right of use assets which are amortized over their useful life estimated as follows.

Furniture and fixtures straight line method over 5 years Right of use assets term of the lease

The depreciation expense for each period is recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, modified where applicable. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of each entity is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is the Company and its subsidiaries’ functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items or on settlement of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognized in other comprehensive loss in the statement of comprehensive loss to the extent that gains and losses arising on those non-monetary items are also recognized in other comprehensive loss. Where the non-monetary gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss, the exchange component is also recognized in profit or loss.

Leases

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The right-of-use asset is measured based on the present value of the remaining lease payments at the initial application date, plus any initial direct costs incurred, and estimate of costs to dismantle and remove or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

2. Significant accounting policies and basis of preparation (cont’d)

Leases (cont’d)

The right-of-use assets are subsequently depreciated from the initial application date using the straightline method. The lease term includes consideration of an option to renew or to terminate if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the initial application date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising mainly from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, renewal or termination option due to a significant event or change in circumstances.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

Equity accounted investments

Equity accounted investments are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but does not have control over the financial and operating policies of the investees. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company holds between 20 percent and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity. Joint arrangement entities are those over which the Company has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic, financial and operating decisions. Joint ventures are joint arrangements whereby the parties have joint control of the arrangement and have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for by the equity method, whereby the original cost of the investment is adjusted for the Company's share of earnings or losses less dividends since significant influence was acquired. When net accumulated losses from an equity accounted investment exceed its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to $nil and additional losses are not provided for unless the Company is committed to provide other financial support to the investee. The Company resumes accounting for its portion of income (loss) of the investment when the entity subsequently reports net income and the Company's share of that net income exceeds the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended.

Profits or losses resulting from transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate. The Company determines at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that the investments in associates are impaired. The financial statements of associates are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. Where necessary adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies of associates in line with those of the Company.

As at June 30, 2021, the Company accounts for the following entity using the equity method as the Company does not have control over this entity:

11. Financial risk and capital management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:

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. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash held in a bank account. The cash is deposited in a bank account held with a major bank in Canada. As the Company’s cash is held by one bank there is a concentration of credit risk. This risk is managed by using a major bank that is a high credit quality financial institution as determined by rating agencies. Credit risk is assessed as low. Credit risk with respect to loan and interest receivables is assessed as moderate due to the risk of potential non-payments.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company ensures that there are sufficient funds to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash.

Historically, the Company's sole source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements. The Company’s access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding. Liquidity risk is assessed as high.

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company had no exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s cash on hand is subject to minimal interest rate risk and the debentures have fixed interest rates. Interest rate risk is assessed as low.

Capital Management

The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor and creditor confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The capital structure of the Company consists of equity, comprising share capital and working capital. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the period. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

  • Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

Financial instruments classified as level 1 – quoted prices in active markets include cash.
