Notes to Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Stated in Canadian Dollars) December 31, 2020
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 unaudited condensed interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting , employing all of the same accounting policies and methods of computation as disclosed in the annual financial statements as at June 30, 2020.
The notes to these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are intended to provide a description of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Company ’ s financial position and performance since June 30, 2020. Certain disclosures that appear in the annual financial statements have not been reproduced in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and, in this regard only, these unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not conform in all respects to the requirements of IFRS for annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should only be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements as at June 30, 2020.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on February 25, 2021.
Basis of presentation and going concern considerations
These unaudited condensed interim 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 unaudited condensed interim 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
| Basis of consolidation | Basis of consolidation | Basis of consolidation |
|---|---|---|
| These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company as | ||
| well as the following subsidiaries' assets and liabilities and the revenues and | expenses arising, subsequent to the | |
| date of acquisition: | ||
| Permatech Electronics Corporation (“PEC”) | - 100% | owned |
| Twenty49 Ltd | - 100% | owned (inactive) |
| Northern Cross Minerals Inc. | - 66.7% | owned (inactive) |
Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim 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 unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the unaudited condensed interim 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 Financial liabilities: Bank operating loan Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Customer deposits Lease liability Long-term debt |
Classification Amortized cost Amortized cost 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. The Company has assessed the assets of all its operating entities and has determined that there is no impairment of its non-financial assets.
Income (loss) per share
The Company presents basic and diluted income (loss) per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the income (loss) attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the financial reporting period. Diluted income (loss) per share is determined by adjusting the income (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 income (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. Inventories
The carrying value of inventory is comprised of:
| Dec. 31 2020 Raw materials and supplies(1) $ 616,625 Work in process 32,491 Finished goods 24,572 $ 673,688 |

5. Right of use asset
The Company occupies its operating facility under a lease that expires March 2021. The right-of-use asset associated with this lease was initially recorded at cost equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments, plus a refundable deposit paid at the inception of the lease. Subsequent to initial recording, the rightof-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 (note 12) . 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, made it infeasible for the Company to ascertain the value of Conversance Inc. as a going concern as at June 30, 2020. Accordingly, a provision for impairment was recognized to reduce the carrying value of the investment to $1. Should future circumstances warrant doing so, this provision may be reversed, but only to the extent that the carrying value of the investment at the time of reversal does not exceed the carrying value that would have resulted had the provision not been recorded.

(1) In September 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.
7. Bank operating loan
The Company has a line of credit, which was not drawn upon as at December 31, 2020 or June 30, 2020. It may be drawn to a maximum of $250,000, bears interest at the TD Bank prime lending rate plus 2.5%, is due upon demand, and is secured by a general security agreement covering the assets of PEC.

8. Lease liability
The Company occupies its operating facility under a lease that expires March 2021. A refundable deposit of $35,000 was paid at the inception of the lease. 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 5.7%. The lease liability has been subsequently reduced by the lease payments paid and interest, imputed at the discount rate, was added to the obligation as follows:
| Present value of lease payments remaining upon adoption of IFRS 16 Lease payments paid during period Interest imputed at 5.7% Balance at December 31, 2019 Lease payments paid during period Interest imputed at 5.7% Balance at June 30, 2020 Lease payments paid during period Interest imputed at 5.7% Balance at December 31, 2020 Less current portion |

13. Income Taxes
Deferred Tax
The following table summarizes the components of deferred tax:

Dec. 31 2019 |
|---|---|
| $ 5,864 (5,864) $ - |
Unrecognized Deferred Tax Assets
Deferred taxes are provided as a result of temporary differences that arise due to the differences between the income tax values and the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of the following deductible temporary differences:
| Dec. 31 2020 Inventory $ 25,693 Share issuance costs 41,876 Property, plant and equipment 39,548 Resource related expenditures 349,050 Scientific research and experimental development 1,050,618 Non-capital loss carry-forwards 2,189,106 Net capital loss carry-forwards 15,592,989 |

| $ 28,527 41,876 39,429 349,050 1,050,618 1,921,405 15,592,989 |
Share issue costs expire from 2021-2023 and non-capital loss carry-forwards expire from 2027-2040. The remaining deductible temporary differences may be carried forward indefinitely but net capital loss carryforwards can only be used to reduce capital gains. Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the group can utilize the benefits therefrom.
14. Capital disclosures
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.

15. 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 periods ended December 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019 .
Concentration of credit risk
Concentration of credit risk arises when one or more customers individually account for 10% or more of the Company ’ s revenues during a reporting period. The Company had 2 customers during the current period, representing 22% and 15% of revenues (Dec. 31, 2019 - 3 customers, 16%, 15% and 13% of revenues). Amounts due from these customers represented 35% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2020 (Dec. 31, 2019 - 50%). The loss of, or significant curtailment of purchases by, such a 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.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises through the excess of financial obligations over available financial assets due at any point in time. At December 31, 2020 the Company had current financial assets of $863,766 (June 30, 2020 - $732,471) available to settle current financial liabilities of $875,862 (June 30, 2020 - $1,002,533). The Company manages its liquidity risk through the management of its capital (note 14) 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 period – the Company reported a foreign exchange gain in the amount of $4,143 (Dec. 2019 loss of $3,149).
Sensitivity to market risks
At December 31, 2020, the Company had:
-
A bank operating loan that had not been drawn upon (June 30, 2020 - $Nil), 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, as at the financial reporting date, would result in no additional interest expense over the next 12 month period.
-
US$45,515 (June 30, 2020 – US$61,399) 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 $2,275 in future cash inflow.
-
US$86,242 (June 30, 2020 – US$114,337) 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 $4,312 in future cash outflow.
Based upon observations of recent market trends management believes that each of these outcomes is possible.

16. COVID-19
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 15. Although these potential effects cannot be quantified, the Company anticipates that COVID-19 could have an adverse impact on its future business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
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. During the period, the Company obtained CEBA benefits of $20,000 (note 9), CERS benefits of $6,077 which have been applied to reduce occupancy costs (note 12) , and CEWS benefit in the amount of $129,875 which has been applied to reduce labour costs (note 3) and Employee and consultant compensation (note 12) . The Company will continue to monitor all government subsidies and will make application wherever it satisfies the eligibility criteria.
