Independent Auditors' Report
To the Shareholders of ZTEST Electronics Inc.:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of ZTEST Electronics Inc. (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated statements of changes in equity, comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at June 30, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits 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 consolidated 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.
Other information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Our opinion on the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated 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 consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated 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.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors' report is Kevin Ramsay.

ZTEST Electronics Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Stated in Canadian Dollars) June 30, 2020 and 2019
1. Business of the Company
ZTEST Electronics Inc. (“the Company”) amalgamated under the laws of Ontario and carries on business at 523 McNicoll Avenue, Toronto, Ontario designing, developing, and assembling printed circuit boards and other electronic equipment. The Company's shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol "ZTE".
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Statement of compliance
The Company has prepared these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on October 26, 2020.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
Basis of presentation and going concern considerations
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information, and in accordance with IFRS applicable to a “going concern”. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the statement of financial position classifications used.
Basis of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company as well as the following subsidiaries' assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses, arising subsequent to the date of acquisition:
| Permatech Electronics Corporation (“PEC”) | - 100% | owned |
|---|---|---|
| Twenty49 Ltd | - 100% | owned |
| Northern Cross Minerals Inc. | - 66.7% | owned (inactive) |
Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and also in future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions, and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Significant estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to, the assessment of the Company as a going concern, recoverability of inventory, the inputs used in applying the Black-Scholes valuation model, and the recognition and valuation of deferred tax amounts.
Financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments are comprised of the following:
| Financial assets: Cash Accounts receivable |
Classification Amortized cost Amortized cost |

2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
| Financial instruments - continued Financial liabilities: Bank operating loan Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Customer deposits Lease liability Long-term debt |
Classification Amortized cost Amortized cost Amortized cost Amortized cost Amortized cost |
|---|---|
Amortized cost – The amount at which a financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount and, for financial assets, adjusted for any expected credit losses.
The effective interest method - The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or liability and of allocating interest and any transaction costs over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial asset or liability to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets with finite lives to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss.
Where such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell or its value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in the income for the period.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in income for the period.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. Net realizable value is the amount, net of the estimated costs to complete assemblies and sell them, which the Company expects to realize from the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business. An assessment of net realizable value is completed at the end of each reporting period and any resulting writedowns, or recovery of previous write-downs, are reflected in income for the period. Current assessments have determined that net realizable values equal or exceed the corresponding costs and accordingly all inventories are currently carried at cost.
Investments
Non-controlling interests, which are not financial instruments, and are less than a 20% ownership interest, are initially recorded at the cost of acquisition plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to the acquisition date the investment is carried at amortized value, representing the initial carrying value net of any impairment provisions. An investment of this type is considered impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Non-controlling interests, which are not financial instruments, and are equal to or exceeding a 20% ownership interest (an equity instrument), are initially recorded at the cost of acquisition plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to the acquisition date the investment is adjusted for the post-acquisition change in the investor’s share of the investee’s net assets and for any impairment provisions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Investments - continued
An equity instrument is considered impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occur after the initial recognition of the asset (a 'loss event') and that loss event, or events, has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the non-controlling interest that can be reliably estimated. Losses expected as a result of future events, no matter how likely, are not recognized.
Some items that may be taken into consideration in determining whether a loss event has occurred include significant financial difficulty of the investee, a breach of contract such as a default or delinquency in payments by the investee, it becomes probable that the investee will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, or significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in the technological, market, economic or legal environment in which the investee operates, and such changes indicate that the cost of the equity instrument may not be recovered.
Equipment
Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided over the related assets' estimated useful lives using the following methods and annual rates:
following methods and annual rates: |
|||
|---|---|---|---|
| Computer equipment | - | 30 % | declining balance |
| Office equipment | - | 20 % | declining balance |
| Manufacturing equipment | - | 20 % | declining balance |
| Leasehold improvements | - | 10 yrs | straight-line |
The Company reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method at the end of each reporting period, accounting for the effect of any changes in estimate on a prospective basis.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, and the ability to collect is reasonably assured, which typically arises when the product is delivered.
Share based payment transactions
The fair value of share options granted to employees is recognized as an expense over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee, including directors of the Company.
The fair value is measured at grant date and recognized over the period during which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black Scholes option pricing model, after considering the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At the end of each financial reporting period, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that are expected to vest.
Foreign exchange
As at the transaction date all asset, liability, revenue, and expense amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars using the exchange rate in effect as at that date. At the end of each financial reporting period all monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars using the exchange rate in effect as at that date. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are included in income for the period.
Income taxes
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense. Income tax expense is recognized in profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is recognized and measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or payable to the taxation authorities based on the income tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and includes any adjustment to taxes payable in respect of previous years.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income taxes - continued
Deferred tax is recognized on any temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable earnings. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized and the liability is settled. The effect of a change in the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates is recognized in profit and loss and comprehensive (loss) income or in equity depending on the item to which the adjustment relates.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent future recovery is probable. At the end of each financial reporting period, deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable earnings will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Loss per share
The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the financial reporting period. Diluted loss per share is determined by adjusting the loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.
Stock options and warrants outstanding are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share if their inclusion would increase the income per share, or decrease the loss per share, or if their exercise price exceeds the average market price of the Company’s shares for the financial reporting period.
Segment disclosure
The Company has a single location and operating segment accordingly, all revenues are generated in Canada and all assets are located in Canada.
3. Changes in Accounting Policies
The Company’s accounting policies typically change only when there is a change in IFRS. Effective July 1, 2019 the Company adopted IFRS 16, Leases which eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases and provides a single lessee accounting model, specifying how leases are recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed.
The Company occupies its operating facility under a lease that, requires monthly lease payments of $8,979 until expiry March 2021. A refundable deposit of $35,000 was paid at the inception of the lease. This lease was previously classified as an operating lease in accordance with IAS 17, with the lease deposit reported as an asset, lease payments charged to net income as occupancy costs, and disclosure of the remaining lease payments as a commitment. The Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach where comparative amounts are not restated.
Upon adoption of IFRS 16, the Company recognized a lease liability and a right-of-use asset. The lease liability was initially recorded at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate which was determined to be prime plus 1.75% or 5.7%. The lease liability was subsequently reduced by the lease payments paid and interest, imputed at the discount rate, was added to the obligation. The right-of-use asset was initially recorded at cost, determined to be equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments plus the deposit paid at the inception of the lease. Subsequent to initial recording, the right-of-use asset is measured using the cost model where cost is reduced by any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses and is adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease and charged to net income as an element of occupancy costs. There have been no impairment losses and no remeasurement of the lease liability.

6. Investments
The Company holds a non-controlling interest in Conversance Inc., a private Canadian technology company. The shares of Conversance Inc. are subject to a hold period and, unless permitted under securities legislation, the shares may not be traded before the date that is four months and a day after the issuer becomes a reporting issuer in any province or territory.
Conversance Inc. is engaged in the development of its proprietary technology and has not yet produced any revenues. The timing of such revenues, if any, is not currently determinable. The absence of cash flows, or the ability to predict when any may arise, makes if infeasible for the Company to ascertain the value of Conversance Inc. as a going concern as at June 30, 2020. Accordingly, the carrying value of the investment has been reduced to $1.

Subsequent to June 30, 2020, ZTEST entered into an agreement with the founder and majority shareholder of Conversance Inc. whereby ZTEST issued 1,250,000 Convertible First Preferred Shares Series 1 to that majority shareholder in exchange for 25,000 Class A common shares of Conversance Inc. The ZTEST Series 1 shares will be automatically converted to common shares of ZTEST if, and only if, Conversance completes an arm’s length financing through which it issues at least 130,139 Class A common shares from treasury, at a price of at least $10.00 per Class A common share, by June 30, 2021. If such a financing is not completed then the ZTEST Series 1 shares will be redeemed for an aggregate price of $1 and the 25,000 Class A common shares of Conversance Inc. will be returned to the majority shareholder. If such a financing does proceed then ZTEST retains its right to maintain its 25.29% interests by subscribing for the requisite number of Class A common shares of Conversance, at the same price and payment terms applicable to the financing. As an additional element of this transaction, ZTEST was granted an option by Conversance Inc., to acquire 75,000 Class A common shares from treasury, in exchange for a cash payment of $1,000,000, until December 31, 2022.

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to ensure its ability to meet operating commitments as they become due and to provide return for shareholders. This is achieved by continuously monitoring actual and projected cash flows and making adjustments to capital as necessary. Except for the repayment terms associated with long-term debt instruments, there are no externally imposed capital requirements.

14. Financial risk factors
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to the following financial instrument related risks:
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 in its accounts receivable. In an effort to mitigate this risk, management actively manages and monitors its receivables and obtains prepayments where warranted. It has been determined that no allowance is required, as all amounts outstanding are considered collectible. The Company incurred no bad debts during the years ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 .
Concentration of credit risk
Concentration of credit risk arises when one or more customers, defined as a major customer, individually account for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues during a reporting period. During the current year the Company had two major customers which represented 20% and 19% of total revenues. In the prior year two major customers accounted for 14% and 12% of total revenues. Amounts due from major customers represented 17% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2020 (2019 - 9%). The loss of a major customer, or significant curtailment of purchases by such customer, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. The Company monitors the relationship with all customers closely and ensures that every customer is subject to the same risk management criteria.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
14. Financial risk factors - continued
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises through the excess of financial obligations over available financial assets due at any point in time. At June 30, 2020 the Company had current financial assets of $732,471 (2019 - $591,575) available to settle current financial liabilities of $1,002,533 (2019 - $943,985). The Company manages its liquidity risk through the management of its capital (note 13) which incorporates the continuous monitoring of actual and projected cash flows to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity to meet its operating commitments without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
Market risks
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk due a bank operating loan that has a floating interest rate as well as currency risk related to accounts receivable, accounts payable, customer deposits, and nominal amounts of cash, prepaid expenses, and customer deposits denominated in US dollars. Market risks give rise to the potential for future cash flows to fluctuate because of changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates. Market risks are closely monitored and attempts are made to match foreign cash inflows and outflows. During the current fiscal year, the Company has reported a foreign exchange loss of $13,486 (2019 – loss of $4,749).
Sensitivity to market risks
At June 30, 2020 the Company had:
-
A bank operating loan that had not been drawn upon (June 30, 2019 - $150,000) which bears interest predicated upon the TD Bank prime lending rate. Based upon the current amount due on the operating loan, a 1% increase in the TD Bank prime lending rate would have no impact upon interest expense – other over the next 12 month period.
-
US$61,399 (June 30, 2019 – US$63,433) included in accounts receivable. A 5% increase in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar would result in a reduction of $3,070 in future cash inflow.
-
US$114,337 (June 30, 2019 –US$155,987) included in accounts payable. A 5% decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar would result in an increase of $5,717 in future cash outflow.
Based upon observations of recent market trends management believes that each of these outcomes is possible.
15. COVID-19 and related subsequent events
On January 30, 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global health emergency and on March 11, 2020 they declared it a pandemic. These WHO declarations were soon followed by announcements of numerous restrictions by domestic and international governments affecting the way people could interact and how business was conducted. Many of these restrictions remain in place as of the financial reporting date.
As a contract manufacturer, the Company met the Ontario definition of an essential business thus allowing it to continue operations. The Company encouraged certain personnel to work from home and took steps to facilitate physical distancing and other safety measures for those for whom working from home was not feasible. To the date of the approval of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company, including its subsidiaries and investee company, have operated free of positive tests positive for COVID-19.
The health and safety of our personnel is our top priority however continuing to operate free of COVID-19 infections does not ensure that there will be no related implications to the business. The present and future economic effects of COVID-19 cannot be accurately predicted at this time. This includes the potential impact the pandemic may have on the Company’s suppliers and customers as well as the market risks described in note 14. Although these potential effects cannot be quantified, the Company anticipates that COVID-19 could have an adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in 2021.
To help mitigate the uncertainty created by COVID-19, the Company has availed itself of subsidies made available to it by the Canadian Federal government. The Company obtained subsidy under the Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA) and the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS). The Company obtained CEBA benefit in the form of a $40,000 loan (note 7) which is interest free, and requires no repayment prior to December 31, 2022. The Company also obtained CEWS benefit during the year in the amount of $164,535 which has been applied to reduce labour costs (note 4) and Employee and consultant compensation (note 11) . The Company will continue to monitor all government subsidies and will make application wherever it satisfies the eligibility criteria.
