16. Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company has classified cash and cash equivalents and short‐term investments as financial assets and measured at fair value through profit or loss. Trade and other receivables are classified as financial assets and measured at amortized cost. Trade payables and accrued liabilities are classified as financial liabilities and measured at amortized cost.

Risk Management

The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. The Company’s financial instruments comprise of cash and cash equivalents, short‐term investments, trade and other receivables, and trade payables and accrued liabilities. Disclosures relating to exposure to risks, in particular credit risk, foreign currency risk, concentration risk, market risk and liquidity risk are provided below.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, comprise primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk of these items is the carrying amount as reported on the financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at a major Canadian financial institution. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal risk. Credit risk on trade and other receivables is minimized as a result of the constant review and evaluation of the account balances. The Company also maintains an allowance for credit losses at an estimated amount, allocating sufficient protection against losses resulting from collecting less than full payments from its receivables. There is no indication, as at this date, that the debtors will not meet their obligations, except as has been provided for as bad debts during the reporting periods. The Company manages its credit risk relating to its trade receivables through credit approval and monitoring procedures, including senior management prior approval of all sales. Such approvals are based on trade information, payment history, credit rating and financial analysis, where possible.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company has operations in Canada and the U.S., therefore, has exposure to foreign currency risk. There is exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations on transactions between the Company’s entities and upon the consolidation of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the parent company’s consolidated functional currency. Each entity within the consolidated group determines its own functional currency.

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the year‐end rate and, therefore, have varying values from exchange rate fluctuations. The statements of comprehensive income (loss) of the foreign subsidiaries are translated into Canadian dollars using the year’s average exchange rate and, accordingly, exchange rate fluctuations impact the Company’s revenues and profit (loss), denominated in Canadian dollars.

The Company monitors its foreign exchange exposure and its hedging strategy on an ongoing basis. As at June 30, 2023 the Company did not have any foreign currency hedges in place.

Concentration Risk

P a g e 18 |

Volatus Aerospace Corp.

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

The Company is not exposed to customer concentration risk as the Company’s revenue are widely distributed across multiple customers and revenue streams. The Company will keep mitigating these risks and uncertainties by focusing its sales energies on securing additional customer contracts across wider revenue streams and channels.

Market Risk

The Company’s investments are exposed to market risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investments. The Company manages market risk through diversification and investing only in blue‐chip equities with a history of stable return listed on various public stock exchanges. Senior management reviews the equity portfolio on a regular basis.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is subject to the risks associated with debt financing, including the risk of interest rates on floating‐ rate debt rising before long‐term fixed rate debt is arranged and existing mortgages may not be able to be refinanced on terms similar or more favourable than those currently in place.

The Company’s objective of managing interest rate risk is to minimize the volatility of interest expense which impacts earnings.

The Company is also exposed to interest rate risk on its Credit Facility which fluctuates based on prime or floating bankers' acceptance rates. An increase (decrease) of 100 basis points in interest rates at December 31, 2022 for the Company’s variable‐rate financial instruments would have no material impact on net income and comprehensive income.

Liquidity Risk

The Company is exposed to liquidity risk to the extent that it is required to meet its financial obligations as these become due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient cash and other current financial assets to meet its obligations when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or damage to the Company’s reputation. Management forecasts cash flows to identify financing requirements. These requirements are then addressed through a combination of cash management and access to additional capital.

Sensitivity Analysis

Based on management’s knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that a 10% movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates that may reasonably be expected to occur over the next twelve‐month period will not have a significant impact on the Company.
