Transactions made with related parties are made in the normal course of business and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

Financial Instruments and Risk 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. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows from a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices or prevailing conditions. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk and are disclosed as follows:

  • 3 -

(a) Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company holds no financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollars. As at February 28, 2023 the Company was not exposed to currency risk.

(b) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s sensitivity to interest rates relative to its cash balances is currently immaterial. The Company also has no long-term debt with variable interest rates, so it has no negative exposure to changes in the market interest rate.

(c) Price Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Management closely monitors individual equity movements and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company. Given the Company’s limited market exposure at this time it has assessed there to be a low level of price rate risk.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash. The Company limits the exposure to credit risk by only investing its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. Management believes that the credit risk related to its cash is negligible.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. At November 30, 2022, the Company has no sources of revenue but has a cash balance of $395,626 (May 31, 2022 - $412,950) to settle current liabilities of $1,383 (May 31, 2022 - $21,113). As such, management feels the Company has sufficient cash to fund corporate overhead costs for the next year. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk is currently negligible.

Fair Value Measurements

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

  • 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 date.

As at February 28, 2023 the Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Cash is classified as FVTPL. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as amortized cost. The fair value of cash is based on Level 1 inputs. The fair value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate its carrying value because of its short-term nature.

Changes in Accounting Policies

There were no changes in accounting policies.
