Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2023

TrustBIX Inc.

1 Nature of operations and going concern

TrustBIX Inc.’s (the “Company” or “TrustBIX”) business operations consist of information solutions for the agrifood industry including:

  • the sale, installation and support of software and computer systems for auction markets and livestock dealers;

  • the sale, installation and support of software for livestock feedlots;

  • the sale, installation and support of data capture and carcass grading systems for pork plants;

  • internet based applications that provide animal tracking and management;

  • the sale, installation and support for Business InfoXchange (“BIX”); and

  • the sale of solutions to track, protect and identify the movement of high-value moveable equipment

The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ViewTrak Technologies Inc. (“ViewTrak”), Insight Global Technology Inc. (“Insight”) and BIX Operations Inc. (“BIX Operations”) are incorporated and domiciled in Canada. The Company and its subsidiaries’ principal office is located at 2[nd] Floor, 10607 – 82 Street, Edmonton, Alberta, T6A 3N2.

Going concern

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due.

As at June 30, 2023, the Company had a net working capital deficit of $1,465,096 (September 30, 2022 - $1,068,208). For the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $548,243 and $1,865,301, respectively (2022 – $1,285,689 and $2,934,362, respectively), and net cash used in operating activities of $1,647 and $668,928, respectively (2022 – $769,045 and $2,045,498, respectively). As at June 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $18,143,617 (September 30, 2022– $16,278,316). In addition, the Company also has lease commitments in the amount of $37,835 as disclosed in note 7.

Current operations have been financed primarily from the issue of promissory notes totaling $250,000 (note 9), convertible debentures (note 10) and non-brokered private placements (note 12(a)).

Management is actively pursuing new business opportunities related to the BIX and BIX Location Services (formerly Insight) platforms.

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2023

TrustBIX Inc.

1 Nature of operations and going concern (continued)

Going concern (continued)

Additionally, the Company continues to apply for provincial and/or federal government grant and funding programs. The Company also has a contribution agreement with Western Economic Diversification Canada (“WD”) for a repayable financial contribution under the Regional Relief and Recovery Fund (note 11).

The outcome of such efforts is dependent on a number of factors outside of the Company’s control. The nature of the technology sector, availability of government grants and current financial equity market conditions, including macroeconomic conditions, make the success of any future financing ventures and the other management strategies uncertain. There can be no assurance that management’s efforts will be successful. This uncertainty casts significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to going concern.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported revenues and expenses that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

2 Basis of presentation

Statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”). Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) have been omitted or condensed and accordingly, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended September 30, 2022.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August 22, 2023.

Basis of measurement

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ presentation and functional currency, and are prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value.

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2023

TrustBIX Inc.

2 Basis of presentation (continued)

Use of management critical judgment, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses recorded during the reporting period. In making estimates and judgments, management relies on external information and observable conditions where possible, supplemented by internal analysis as required. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

The critical accounting estimates and judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies were the same as those described in note 5 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 with the addition of the below.

i) Compound financial instruments

The fair value of a convertible debenture issued is allocated to each respective component on a relative fair value basis. The fair value of a convertible debenture is allocated between the liability and equity components with the fair value of the liability component determined first, based on a discounted cash flow approach using the interest rate estimated to be equal to the rate of interest of a similar debt instrument without a conversion feature, and with the residual value being assigned to the equity component.

3 Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied by the Company in its annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 with the addition of the below:

Compound Financial Instruments

Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise a convertible debenture that can be converted to common shares of the Company at the option of the holder, when the number of common shares to be issued is fixed and does not vary with changes in fair value.

The liability component of compound financial instruments is initially recognized at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is initially recognized at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured.

TrustBIX Inc.

3 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Compound Financial Instruments (continued)

Interest related to the financial liability is recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. On conversion at maturity, the financial liability is reclassified to equity and no gain or loss is recognized.

New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

The following IFRS standards have been recently issued by the IASB. Pronouncements that are irrelevant or not expected to have a significant impact have been excluded.

i) Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

The amendment clarifies the requirements relating to determining if a liability should be presented as current or non-current in the statement of financial position. Under the new requirement, the assessment of whether a liability is presented as current or non-current is based on the contractual arrangements in place as at the reporting date and does not impact the amount or timing of recognition. The amendment applies retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of these amendments on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4 Acquisition of Insight

On March 7, 2022, pursuant to the terms of the definitive agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Insight for up to 30,000,000 common shares of the Company priced at $0.18 per share (the “Consideration Shares”). The Insight shareholders received 10,000,000 Consideration Shares (subject to certain resale restrictions) on closing, and an additional amount of up to 20,000,000 Consideration Shares (subject to applicable escrow and resale restrictions) may have been issued by the Company based on the satisfaction of certain financial metrics over the twelve months after the closing of the transaction, as follows:

  • i) a further 5,000,000 Consideration Shares on Insight attaining Net Revenue of $500,000 and Target Profit of $150,000;

  • ii) a further 7,500,000 Consideration Shares on Insight attaining cumulative Net Revenue of $750,000 and cumulative Target Profit of $225,000; and

  • iii) a further 7,500,000 Consideration Shares on Insight attaining cumulative Net Revenue of $1,000,000, cumulative Target Profit of $300,000, and achieving a minimum of 50% recurring revenue (continuing subscriptions and rollover renewals of the Insight Solution).

TrustBIX Inc.

4 Acquisition of Insight (continued)

Net Revenue includes the sales of Insight products and related services, net of returns, discounts, shipping, taxes, duties and other such amounts. Target Profit is defined as Net Revenue, minus cost of goods sold, including installation and support, and direct operating expenses, including all sales and technical activities. Net Revenue and Target Profit are calculated in accordance with the Company’s accounting standards and corporate policies.

As of June 30, 2023, no Consideration Shares were released pursuant to the escrow agreement. The additional 20,000,000 Consideration Shares that were not released can be cancelled without recourse.

The Company applied the optional concentration test permitted under IFRS 3 Business combinations to the acquisition which resulted in the acquired assets being accounted for as an asset acquisition. The amounts recognized on the date of acquisition of the identifiable assets were as follows:

Assets acquired:
Inventory
Software
Assets acquired
Share consideration (30,000,000 common shares)
$
9,450
1,790,550
1,800,000
1,800,000

Software acquired is amortized over the useful life of three years on a straight-line basis (note 6).

10 Convertible debenture (continued)

On January 27, 2023, the Company issued a convertible debenture with a principal balance of $150,000 at an interest rate of 10% per annum, with the interest to be paid only in cash, for a term of one (1) year. The convertible debenture is convertible into units of the Company, composed of one (1) common share and one half (1/2) warrant exercisable at a price of $0.05 per common share for a term of one (1) year, at a price of $0.05 per unit. During the nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repaid $115,000 of the principal balance of the convertible debenture.

The liability component of the convertible debenture was initially recognized at the fair value of a similar liability that did not have an equity conversion option and using a discount rate of 18%. The equity component of the convertible debenture was recognized at the difference between the fair value of the convertible debenture as a whole and the fair value of the liability component.

11 Loan payable

On July 27, 2020, the Company entered into a contribution agreement with WD for a repayable financial contribution under the Regional Relief and Recovery Fund. Under the contribution agreement, WD supported the Company with an investment of $1,000,000 for general working capital requirements (the “Contribution”). Repayment of the Contribution was to commence on January 31, 2023 and continue in equal monthly instalments until the Contribution was fully repaid by December 31, 2025. The Contribution is unsecured and non-interest bearing, unless repayment is not made as scheduled. Interest is calculated at an average bank rate plus 3%, compounded monthly, on repayments not made as scheduled. The interest calculation ends when repayments are back on schedule.

The loan payable was initially recognized at a fair value of $506,300. The initial carrying value of the loan payable was calculated using the effective interest rate method, discounting estimated cash flows using the Company’s effective interest rate of 18%.

On December 29, 2022, the repayment terms were revised, changing the amount of the monthly installment payments and extending the final installment payment to December 31, 2027. The original Contribution was derecognized from the interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position and a new loan payable was recognized at a fair value of $563,649, resulting in a gain on refinancing of loan payable of $204,519 in other income in the interim condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

The short-term and long-term components of loan payable at June 30, 2023 are as follows:

On March 14, 2022, the Company issued warrants in connection with a private placement (note 12(a)(iii)). The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: stock price of $0.18, exercise price of $0.30, volatility of 99.1%, an expected life of eighteen (18) months, a dividend yield of nil% and a risk-free interest rate of 1.6%.

c) Stock options and compensation expense

The Company has adopted a twenty percent (20%) fixed stock option plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) for directors, officers, employees, management company employees and consultants. In accordance with the Stock Option Plan, the Company can reserve up to a total of 15,849,996 common shares for issuance. The Board of Directors determines the price per common share and the number of common shares which may be allocated to each director, officer, employee and consultant and all other terms and conditions of the options, subject to the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange. At the Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders on April 14, 2023, the number of common shares reserved for issuance was increased to 18,886,094.

On November 11, 2022, the Company issued 2,900,000 options to directors, officers, employees and non-employees, exercisable at $0.05 and vested 100% immediately, and expiring on April 30, 2023. The fair value of the options granted to non-employees was measured at the value of services the Company received.

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the options granted to directors, officers, employees. The Company considered historical volatility of its common shares as well as industry benchmarking in estimating its future stock price volatility. The risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the options was based on the yield available on government benchmark bonds with an approximate equivalent remaining term at the time of the grant. The expected life is based on the contractual term, taking into account expected director, employee and non-employee exercise and expected post-vesting employment termination behaviour. The following assumptions were used to estimate the Black-Scholes fair value of the options granted during the six months ended March 31, 2023:

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, potential shares issuable in exchange for warrants, stock options and the convertible debenture have been excluded in the diluted loss per share calculation as their effects would have been anti-dilutive. Consideration Shares (note 4) that have not been released from escrow have also been excluded.

14 Financial instruments

For accounting recognition and measurement purposes, cash, accounts receivable, share subscription receivable, bank overdraft, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, promissory notes, loan payable and convertible debenture are classified as amortized cost. The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, share subscription receivable, bank overdraft, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, promissory notes and convertible debenture approximates their fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The loan payable was measured using the estimated incremental borrowing rate and approximates fair value.

Financial instruments recognized on the interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position dates at fair value are classified in a hierarchy based on the significance of the estimates used in their measurement, as follows:

  • Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  • Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The non-marketable equity securities in Provision Analytics (note 8) are an investment in a privately held company without readily determinable market values and is classified as Level 3.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, there have been no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Financial risk management

The Company’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial and economic markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance. Risk management is carried out by financial management in conjunction with overall corporate governance.

a) Market risk

  • i) Currency risk

Some of the Company’s transactions, assets and liabilities are denominated in US dollars and Chinese RMB and thus the Company is exposed to risk arising from changes in exchange rates.

The following table presents the Company’s exposure in Canadian dollars to the US dollar and Chinese RMB as at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022:

Based on the Company’s foreign currency exposure noted above, varying the foreign exchange rates to reflect a 10% strengthening of the US dollar and Chinese RMB would have increased net loss by approximately $3,400 and $nil, respectively, as at June 30, 2023 (September 30, 2022 – decreased net loss by $nil and $2,000, respectively), assuming all other variables remained constant.

An assumed 10% weakening of the US dollar and China RMB would have had an equal but opposite effect to the amounts shown above, assuming all other variables remained constant.

ii) Market price risk

The Company is exposed to market price risk on its equity investment in Provision Analytics Inc. (note 8). Market price risk is the risk of loss arising from changes in the fair value of a financial instrument as a result of changes in market prices.

The sensitivity of the fair value of the investment to changes in market prices is monitored by the Company and it estimates that a 20% increase or decrease in the market price would result in an approximately $36,000 increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value of the investment.

iii) Interest rate risk

The Company does not have any variable rate financial liabilities and is therefore management does not believe it is exposed to significant interest rate risk as at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022.

Financial risk management (continued)

b) Credit risk

The Company, in the normal course of business, is exposed to credit risk from its customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts and past due receivables is reviewed by management at each consolidated statement of financial position reporting date. Accounts are considered past due when customers have failed to make the contractually required payment when due, which is generally within 60 days of the billing date.

The Company applied the simplified approach to provide for ECL prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of the lifetime ECL provision for trade receivables and contract assets without a significant financing component.

The following table presents a summary of the activity related to the allowance for doubtful accounts:

Management believes the risks associated with concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the nature of the customers and the generally short-term payment cycle. The Company has $21,528 in unsecured accounts receivable due from a customer in China and its ability to mitigate such risks may be limited.

The aging of the Company’s trade accounts receivable is as follows:

Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will encounter difficultly in meeting financial obligations as they come due. See note 1 for additional disclosure on the Company’s financial condition. The Company manages its liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage. It also monitors its cash position to its actual cash position and timing of payments to suppliers, ensuring that sufficient funds are available when payments come due. The Board of Directors reviews and approves any material transactions out of the ordinary course of business.
