Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders of Novicius Corp. (formerly Intelligent Content Enterprises Inc.):

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Novicius Corp. (formerly Intelligent Content Enterprises Inc.), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at August 31, 2017, and the consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders' deficiency, and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

 

Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditors’ Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements 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 entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Novicius Corp. (formerly Intelligent Content Enterprises Inc.), as at August 31, 2017 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

Emphasis of Matter

 

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements which highlights the existence of a material uncertainty relating to conditions that cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Other Matter

 

The consolidated financial statements of Novicius Corp. (formerly Intelligent Content Enterprises Inc.) as at August 31, 2016 and 2015, and for the years then ended, were audited by another auditor who expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements in their report dated March 13, 2017.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

August 31, 2017 and 2016 and 2015

(Expressed In Canadian Dollars)

 

1.a) Nature of Business

 

Novicius Corp., (formerly: Intelligent Content Enterprises Inc.) was amalgamated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on November 30, 2009 (“Novicius” or the “Company”). The Company filed articles of amendment effective May 26, 2017, and changed its name from Intelligent Content Enterprises Inc., to Novicius Corp., and consolidated its common shares on the basis of one (1) new share for every ten (10) old shares. The Company filed articles of amendment effective February 1, 2016, and changed its name from Eagleford Energy Corp., to Intelligent Content Enterprises Inc., and consolidated its common shares on the basis of one (1) new share for every ten (10) old shares. Through the Company’s wholly owned Ontario subsidiary, DoubleTap Daily Inc., (formerly: Digital Widget Factory Inc.) the Company has developed an online content management and advertising platform that powers user and advertising engagement programs in real-time to desktop, mobile and portable devices (http://doubletap.co).

 

The Company's registered office is located at 1 King Street West, Suite 1505, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 1A1. The Company’s common shares trade on the OTCQB under the symbol NVSIF and on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol NVS.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Novicius, the legal parent, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ice Studio Productions Inc. incorporated in the Province of Ontario on June 16, 2016 (“ICE Studio”) and DoubleTap Daily Inc. incorporated in the Province of Ontario on February 29, 2016, (“DoubleTap”).

 

Effective February 29, 2016, the Company disposed of its investment in 1354166 Alberta Ltd., a company operating in the province of Alberta (“1354166 Alberta”). The Company’s former subsidiaries, Eagleford Energy, Zavala Inc., a Nevada company (“Zavala Inc.”), and its’ wholly owned subsidiary EEZ Operating Inc., a Texas company (“EEZ Operating”) were disposed of effective August 31, 2015 (Note 15).

 

b)Going Concern

 

These consolidated financial statements (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business, as they come due for the foreseeable future. The Company is in the process of developing its advertising platform and has not yet realized profitable operations. The Company requires additional financing for its working capital and for the costs of development, content creation and marketing of its platform.

 

Due to continuing operating losses, the Company's continuance as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing and to reach profitable levels of operation. The Company will continue to seek additional forms of debt or equity financing, or other means of funding its operations, however, there is no assurance that it will be successful in doing so or that funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The ability of the Company to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business performance of the Company.

 

The Company has accumulated significant losses and negative cash flows from operations in recent years which raise doubt as to the validity of the going concern assumption. As at August 31, 2017, the Company has working capital deficiency of $487,776 (2016: working capital deficiency $690,649) and an accumulated deficit of $31,684,984, (2016: $29,587,246). These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Consolidated Financial Statements do not give effect to adjustments, if any that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts that may differ from those shown in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

2.Basis of Preparation

 

Statement of Compliance

These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (“IFRIC”). The policies applied in these Consolidated Financial Statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of January 1, 2017. The Board of Directors approved the Consolidated Financial Statements on December 28, 2017.

 

Basis of Measurement

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value.

 

Functional and Presentation Currency

The functional and presentation currency of the parent Novicius and its wholly owned subsidiaries ICE Studio and DoubleTap is Canadian dollars.

 

3.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Consolidation

Control exists when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect these returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, the legal parent, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ice Studio and DoubleTap.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists which is when a contract or sales order is signed by both parties, delivery has occurred, ownership has been transferred to the customer, price is fixed or determinable and ultimate collection is reasonably assured at the time of delivery.

 

Revenue from advertising revenue were recognized when services were provided.

 

Foreign Currency

Items included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of each of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities not denominated in the functional currency of an entity are recognized in profit or loss.

 

Assets and liabilities of entities with functional currencies other than Canadian dollars are translated at the year- end rates of exchange, and the results of their operations are translated at average rates of exchange for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in the foreign currency translation reserve under other comprehensive income.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS requires that management make estimates and assumptions and use judgment regarding the measured amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates.

 

The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements are:

 

Going Concern

The assessment of the Company’s ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements involves judgment. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There is an uncertainty regarding the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern (see Note 1 b).

 

Fair value of financial instruments

The estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities, by their very nature, are subject to measurement uncertainty.

 

Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

The Company is exposed to risks related to changes in its share prices, foreign exchange rates, interest rate and volatility rates used to determine the estimated fair value of its derivative liabilities. In the determination of the fair value of these instruments, the Company utilizes certain independent values and, when not available, internal financial models which are based primarily on observable market data. Management’s judgment is required in the development of these models. This estimate also requires determining and making assumptions about the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life, volatility, discount rates and dividend yield.

 

Settlement of Debt with Equity Instruments

Equity instruments issued to a creditor to extinguish a financial liability are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the date the financial liability is extinguished. The Company estimates the fair value of warrants using the Binomial Lattice pricing model and further assumptions including the expected life, volatility, discount rates and dividend yield. The fair value of the units comprising shares and warrants issued in connection with the extinguishment of a financial liability are then prorated to the total market value of the common shares.

 

Fair Value of Stock Based Compensation and Warrants

In determining the fair value of share based payments the calculated amounts are not based on historical cost, but is derived based on assumptions (such as the expected volatility of the price of the underlying security, expected hold period before exercise, dividend yield and the risk-free rate of return) input into a pricing model. The model requires that management make forecasts as to future events, including estimates of: the average future hold period of issued stock options and compensation warrants before exercise, expiry or cancellation; future volatility of the Company’s share price in the expected hold period; dividend yield; and the appropriate risk-free rate of interest. The resulting value calculated is not necessarily the value that the holder of the option or warrant could receive in an arm’s length transaction, given that there is no market for the options or compensation warrants and they are not transferable. Similar calculations are made in estimating the fair value of the warrant component of an equity unit. The assumptions used in these calculations are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions could materially affect the related fair value estimates.

Income Tax

Provisions for taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by taxing authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share

The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The diluted earnings per share reflects the dilution that would occur if outstanding stock options and share purchase warrants were exercised or converted into common shares using the treasury stock method.

 

The inclusion of the Company’s stock options and share purchase warrants in the computation of diluted loss per share would have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share and are therefore excluded from the computation.

 

Discontinued Operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the Company's business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations that has been disposed of or is held for sale, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. Effective August 31, 2015, the Company assigned all of its right, title and interest in Zavala Inc., as partial settlement of a secured convertible note payable and effective February 29, 2016, the Company disposed of its investment in 1354166 Alberta and accordingly their operations have been treated as discontinued operations.

 

Financial Instruments

Classification and Measurement

Financial instruments are measured at fair value on initial recognition of the instrument. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on whether the financial instrument has been classified as “fair value through profit and loss”, “loans and receivables”, “available-for-sale”, “held-to-maturity”, or “other financial liability” as defined by IAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”.

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities at “fair value through profit or loss” and are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. Transaction costs are expensed when incurred. The Company has classified cash and derivative liabilities as “fair value through profit and loss”.

 

Financial instruments classified as “loans and receivables”, “held-to-maturity”, or “financial liabilities” are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method of amortized cost. “Loans and receivables” are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. “Held-to-maturity” financial assets are non-derivative investments that an entity has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.

 

“Other financial liabilities measured at amortized cost” are those financial liabilities that are not designated as “fair value through profit or loss”. The Company has classified trade and other payables as “other financial liabilities”.

 

Financial assets classified as “available-for-sale” are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company has classified its marketable securities as “available for sale”.

 

Cash

Cash in the statement of financial position comprise cash held in banking institutions.

Marketable Securities

At each financial reporting period, the Company estimates the fair value of investments which are available-for-sale, which could be based on quoted closing bid ask spread prices or other measures for unquoted instruments. Adjustments to the fair value of the marketable securities at the financial position date are recorded to other comprehensive income until re-classified to the statement of operations.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company’s derivative instruments consist of derivative liabilities in relation to its i) anti-dilution units issued; and ii) its previous secured convertible note payable; and iii) share purchase warrants with a US Dollar exercise price.

 

i)             The Company has issued Units that contain an anti-dilution provision such that if within 18 months of the issue date, the Company issues additional common shares for a consideration per share or with an exercise or conversion price per share, less than issue price (the “Adjusted Price”) the Holder shall be entitled to receive (for no additional consideration) additional Units in an amount such that, when added to the number of Units acquired by Holder under the agreement will equal the number of Units that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive had the transaction occurred at the Adjusted Price. The anti-dilution provision is considered a derivative and requires fair value measurement at each reporting period. During the reporting periods August 31, 2016 and 2015 the Company determined that based on the market price being greater than the issue price per share, no additional common shares were required to be fair valued and recorded as a derivative liability.

 

ii)            The Company had a secured convertible note payable that had a conversion feature which could convert any unpaid principal and accrued interest into conversion units. A conversion unit was comprised of one (1) common share and one (1) common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire a common share of the Company at a price equal to a 15% premium to the price of the common share acquired under the conversion unit. The price of the conversion unit was the lesser of a price equal to the 30-day rolling weighted average price of the Company’s common shares as of the date of conversion, less 20% or US$0.80 per share the (“Conversion Unit”). The terms and features of the conversion met the definition of an embedded derivative. Since both components of the Conversion Unit (the common share component and warrant component) contained a variable exercise/conversion price, the Conversion Unit met the definition of a financial liability under IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”. As a result, the Conversion Unit was a derivative liability that required fair value measurement each reporting period. The Company had selected the Binomial Lattice model to fair value the warrant component of the conversion unit and the Monte Carlo Simulations process for the common share component of the Conversion Unit.

 

iii)           In prior years, the Company had issued share purchase warrants with an exercise price in US dollars, rather than Canadian dollars (the functional currency of the Company). Such share purchase warrants are derivative instruments and the Company was required to re-measure the fair value at each reporting date. The fair value of these share purchase warrants are re-measured at each reporting date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with changes recorded to the statement of operations.

 

Impairment

Financial Assets

A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. Remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. All impairment losses are recognized in the statement of operations. An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized. For financial assets measured at amortized cost the reversal is recognized in profit or loss.

Income tax

Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense. Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or 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.

 

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 net earnings and comprehensive 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 each reporting period end, 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.

 

Share-Based Compensation

The Company has a share-based compensation plan that grants stock options to employees and non-employees. This plan is an equity settled plan. The Company uses the fair value method for accounting for share-based awards to employees and non-employees.

 

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed over the vesting period, based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest.

 

The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to contributed surplus.

 

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the Company obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.

 

Warrants

When the Company issues units comprising common shares and warrants, the Company follows the relative fair value method of accounting for warrants attached to and issued with common shares of the Company. Under this method, the fair value of the common shares is estimated and the fair value of the warrants issued is estimated using an option pricing model. The fair value is then prorated to the total of the net proceeds received on issuance of the common shares and the warrants.

 

4.Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Recent Adopted Accounting Standards

 

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The following standards, amendments and interpretations, which may be relevant to the Company have been introduced or revised by the IASB:

(formerly: Intelligent Content Enterprises Inc.)

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

August 31, 2017 and 2016 and 2015

(Expressed In Canadian Dollars)

 

(i) In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, and IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers, and SIC 31 Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive five-step framework for the timing and measurement of revenue recognition. The Company intends to adopt IFRS 15 effective September 1, 2018, and is currently assessing the impact of this new standard on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

(ii) In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments which reflects all phases of the financial instruments project and replaces IAS 39, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early application permitted. Retrospective application is required, but comparative information is not compulsory. The Company does not intend to adopt the new standard prior to its effective date and has not yet determined the impact of this new standard on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

(iii) On January 13, 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases ("IFRS 16") which will replace IAS 17, Leases. IFRS 16 will bring leases on-balance sheet for lessees under a single model, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Lessor accounting however, remains largely unchanged and the distinction between operating and finance leases is retained. IFRS 16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company is assessing the impact of this new standard on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

(iv) Amendments to IFRS 2 - Classification and measurement of Share-based payment transactions ("IFRS 2"):

On June 20, 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2, clarifying how to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions. The amendments apply for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. As a practical simplification, the amendments can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or early application is permitted if information is available without the use of hindsight. The amendments provide requirements on the accounting for:

 

-The effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments;
-Share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations; and
-A modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled.

 

The Company intends to adopt the amendments to IFRS 2 in its Consolidated Financial Statements for the annual period beginning on September 1, 2018. The extent of the impact of adoption of the standard has not yet been determined.

 

IFRIC 22 – Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration: IFRIC was issued in December 2016 to provide guidance on accounting for transactions that include the receipt or payment of advance consideration in a foreign currency. The new interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the interpretation on its consolidated financial statements.

 

5.Segmented Information

 

The Company’s reportable and geographical segments are Canada and previously the United States. The accounting policies used for the reportable segments are the same as the Company’s accounting policies. For the purposes of monitoring segment performance and allocating resources between segments, the Company’s executive officer monitors the tangible, intangible and financial assets attributable to each segment. All assets are allocated to reportable segments. Effective August 31, 2015, the Company discontinued its reportable segment in the United States.

Secured Note Payable

As at August 31, 2014, the Company had a secured convertible promissory note payable to Benchmark Enterprises LLC. (“Benchmark”) with a face value of $1,322,347 (US$1,216,175) with an interest rate of 10% (the “Note”). The Note was being accreted up to its face value over the life of Note, based on an effective interest rate. For the year ended August 31, 2015, the Company recorded interest on the Note of $154,179. The Note was due on the earliest to occur of: (a) August 31, 2015; (b) the closing of any subsequent financing or series of financings by the Company that results in gross proceeds of an aggregate amount equal to or greater than US$4,400,000, excluding conversion of any existing debt into equity; (c) the date of a sale by the Company of all of the shares in the capital stock of Zavala Inc. held by the Company from time to time; (d) the closing of a merger, reorganization, take-over or other business combination which results in a change of control of the Company or Zavala Inc.; or (e) an event of default. The Note was secured by all of the assets of the Company and Zavala Inc. Benchmark had the option at any time while the Note was outstanding to convert any unpaid principal and accrued interest into conversion units.

 

In accordance with the terms of the Note and the General Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreements”) the Company had granted and conveyed to Benchmark a first priority security interest in the Company and Zavala Inc., prior and superior to the rights of all third parties existing on or arising after the date of such Loan Agreements, subject to the Permitted Liens.

 

At August 31, 2015, the Company was unable to pay the Note due in the amount $1,608,149 plus interest of $154,179, totaling $1,762,328, which constituted an event of default pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreements. Benchmark, having made demand for payment of all amounts owed to it under the Note, gave notice to the Company that it intended to exercise its security on the Company’s assets. In an effort to avoid further costs, the Company and Benchmark entered into a Settlement and Exercise of Security Agreement effective August 31, 2015, with the following terms:

 

1.Effective August 31, 2015, the Company assigns and conveys to Benchmark all of its rights, title and interest in and to Zavala Inc., including but not limited to all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Zavala Inc.; and
2.Issuance of 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

 

As a result the Company’s extinguishment of the Note, the Company’s investment in Zavala Inc. had been derecognized from the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as at August 31, 2015 (Note 16 a). The fair value of the common shares was determined to be equal to the fair value of the secured note settled The following table presents the effect of the extinguishment of the Note on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company:

 

   August 31, 2015 
Secured note payable settled  $1,608,149 
Interest payable settled   154,179

13.Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risks

 

Financial instruments are measured at fair value on initial recognition of the instrument. The types of risk exposure to the Company’s financial instruments and the ways in which such exposures are managed are as follows:

 

Credit Risk

Credit risk is primarily related to the Company’s receivables and cash and the risk of financial loss if a partner or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. At August 31, 2017, trade and other receivables amounts are $Nil (August 31, 2016: $Nil). At August 31, 2017, included in other receivables is HST due from the Government of Canada in the amount of $41,007 (August 31, 2016: $14,800).

 

Concentration risk exists in cash because cash balances are maintained with one financial institution. The risk is mitigated because the financial institution is an international bank and all amounts are due on demand.

 

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is as follows:

 

   August 31, 2017 ($)   August 31, 2016 ($) 
Cash   1,040    449,983 
Balance   1,040    449,983

Liquidity Risk

 

The Company monitors its liquidity position regularly to assess whether it has the funds necessary to fulfill planned opportunities or that viable options are available to fund such opportunities from new equity issuances or alternative sources of financings. As a company without significant revenue, there are inherent liquidity risks, including the possibility that additional financing may not be available to the Company, or that such financing terms may not be acceptable to the Company.

 

The following table illustrates the contractual maturities of financial liabilities:

Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial market prices, including interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, and other relevant market or price risks. The Company does not use derivative instruments to mitigate this risk.

 

(i)           Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in Canada and a portion of its expenses are incurred in US dollars. A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollar relative to US dollar could have an effect on the Company’s financial instruments. The Company does not hedge its foreign currency exposure.

 

The following assets and liabilities are denominated in US dollars as at the year-end set out below:

 

   August 31, 2017 ($)   August 31, 2016 ($) 
Cash   77    6,157 
Prepaid expenses and deposits   -    7,814 
Trade and other payables   (38,777)   (26,322)
Net assets (liabilities) denominated in US$   (38,700)   (12,351)
Net assets (liabilities) CDN dollar equivalent at period end (1)   (48,514)   (16,209)

 

(1)       Translated at the exchange rate in effect at August 31, 2017 $1.2536 (August 31, 2016 $1.3124)

 15%   (9,123)   9,123    (3,191)   3,191 

 

(ii)       Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The majority of the Company’s debt is short-term in nature with fixed rates.

 

(iii)       Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments included on the consolidated statements of financial position are comprised of cash, secured note receivable and trade and other payables. The Company classifies the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value according to the following hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instrument.

 

• Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

• Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1. Prices in Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace.

 

• Level 3 – Valuations in this level are those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Trade and other payables        529,823    529,823    1,173,231    1,173,231 

 

Cash is stated at fair value (Level 1 measurement). The carrying value of trade and other payables approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

 

Capital Management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure the Company will have sufficient financial capacity, liquidity and flexibility to fund its operations, growth and ongoing development opportunities. The Company’s capital requirements currently exceed its operational cash flow. As such, the Company is dependent upon future financings in order to maintain liquidity and will be required to issue equity or issue debt.

(Expressed In Canadian Dollars)

 

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions, availability of capital and the risk characteristics of any underlying assets in order to meet current and upcoming obligations.

 

The board of directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management and favourable market conditions to sustain future development of the business. As at August 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company considered its capital structure to be comprised of shareholders’ deficiency.

Subsequent to the year ended August 31, 2017, the Company received a non interest bearing due on demand loan of US $20,000.

 

Subsequent to the year ended August 31, 2017, the Company executed a non-binding Letter of Intent with Grown Rogue Unlimited, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (“Grown Rogue”) according to which it is contemplated that the Company will combine its business operations with Grown Rogue (the “Transaction”) resulting in a reverse take-over of the Company by Grown Rogue. The Transaction as currently contemplated will result in Grown Rogue becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company or otherwise combining its corporate existence with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. No representation is given that the Transaction will close however if closed as contemplated it is expected that: (a) the current holders of the Company securities will own, and have the right to acquire upon exercise of warrants and options, common shares representing 3.6% of fully diluted common shares of the Resulting Issuer; (b) 55,500,000 post consolidated common shares of the Company (“Nov Shares”), or as adjusted such that the owners of Grown Rogue will own at least 75.9% of the Resulting Issuer on the closing of the Transaction, will be issued to the owners of Grown Rogue in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding equity membership interests of Grown Rogue based on a valuation acceptable to the parties of at least $27,750,000 and Nov Shares being issued at $0.50 per share and (c) purchasers of Offered Securities issued in the Private Placement will own 20.5% of fully diluted common shares of the Resulting Issuer.

 

Prior to the closing of the Private Placement and the Transaction, if at all, it is intended that the Company will complete a consolidation (the “Consolidation”) of its common shares on the basis of two (2) pre-consolidated common shares for one (1) post-consolidated common share.
