INTRODUCTION

The following MD&A of Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (formerly Tidal Royalty Corp.) (the “Company” or “RWB”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, which are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee.

 

This document is intended to assist the reader in better understanding operations and key financial results as of the date of this MD&A. The consolidated financial statements and this MD&A have been approved by its Board of Directors. This MD&A is dated September 17, 2020.  

 

All dollar amounts referred to in this MD&A are expressed in Canadian dollars except where indicated otherwise.

 

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company was incorporated on March 12, 1980 pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

The Company’s head office and registered office is located at Suite 810 – 789 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1H2.

On April 24, 2020, Tidal Royalty Corp. (“Tidal”) and a private Ontario company named MichiCann Medical Inc. (“MichiCann”) completed an amalgamation structured as a three-corned amalgamation whereby MichiCann was amalgamated with a newly incorporated subsidiary of Tidal, forming the Company.

Immediately prior to the amalgamation, Tidal completed a consolidation of the Tidal common shares on the basis of one post-consolidation Tidal share for every sixteen pre-consolidation Tidal common shares and changed its name from “Tidal Royalty Corp.” to “Red White & Bloom Brands Inc.”. The post-consolidation common shares of Tidal were exchanged for shares of MichiCann on a 2:1 basis. Due to the terms of the exchange ratio, the previous shareholders of MichiCann acquired a controlling interest in Tidal and as such, the amalgamation has been accounted for as a reverse takeover transaction with MichiCann being the resulting issuer for financial reporting purposes.

The amalgamation resulted in all the issued and outstanding shares of MichiCann being exchange for one common share and one convertible series II preferred share of the Company. Holders of MichiCann common share purchase warrants and MichiCann stock options received one replacement warrant or stock option, as applicable, with each exercisable for units consisting of one common share and one convertible series II preferred share.

All convertible series II preferred shares are convertible into common shares, on a one for one basis, at any time between seven months and twenty-four months after their initial issuance date.

An aggregate of 101,345,349 common shares, 101,345,349 convertible series II preferred shares, 595,430 share purchase warrants and 7,962,679 stock options were issued to the former holders of MichiCann common shares, MichiCann warrants and MichiCann stock options, respectively. Refer to Note 5 of the financial statements for further details on the amalgamation.

Certain shareholders have entered into voluntary escrow and/or escrow and leak out agreements totaling 36,844,823 common shares and the underlying shares for 3,000,000 options. The escrow agreements carry various release terms between 6 and 18 months.

As a result of the completion of this transaction, the former holders of MichiCann common shares now hold approximately 82.25% of the issued and outstanding common shares and former holders of Tidal shares now hold 17.75% of the common shares, in each case, on a non-diluted basis.  A new board and new management assumed control of the Company on June 5, 2020, the shares of the Company resumed trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the new trading symbol “RWB”.  

Prior to the amalgamation, Tidal’s primary business was investing in conventional equity, debt and other forms of investments in private and public companies in Canada and the United States.

RWB is an investment company with a focus on the United States cannabis industry. The Company’s current investments are primarily in the investment in PharmaCo Inc. (“PharmaCo”) which include the Debenture and its rights under the Put/Call Option Agreement (both described below) and the acquisition of Mid-American Growers Inc. (“MAG”), which completed on April 24, 2020 and is further described in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

The Company holds 8% senior secured convertible debenture (the “Debenture”) and a put/call option agreement (the “Put/Call Option”) to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of its Michigan based investee PharmaCo, a private company incorporated under the laws of the State of Michigan. The Put/Call Option is subject to the Company completing the licensing requirements to operate in the State of Michigan. The Debenture is secured by all real and personal property and interests in the real and personal property of PharmaCo, whether now owned or subsequently acquired. The Debenture has a maturity date of January 4, 2023 unless the Debenture becomes due earlier.

PharmaCo was granted a Step 1 prequalification by the Medical Marihuana Licensing Board of the State of Michigan in October of 2018, and has been awarded multiple municipal approvals for grower permits (cultivation), manufacturing (including extraction and derivative manufacturing) and provisioning centers (dispensaries).  

Since its prequalification was issued in October 2018, PharmaCo expanded its operations through the acquisition of multiple assets that cover cultivation, processing/manufacturing and provisioning centers throughout the state of Michigan.

PharmaCo has purchased three indoor cultivation facilities with a cumulative 110,000 square feet and 10 acres of outdoor cultivation. They control 2 locations for processing and currently operate 10 provisioning centers (dispensaries) as well as control an additional 8 dispensaries that have yet to be opened.

Plans are underway to roll out unified corporate branding to allow for even greater efficiency and scaling outside Michigan.

The Company closed the acquisition of MAG on April 24, 2020. MAG owns and operates a 3.6 million square foot facility in Granville, Illinois and holds both a hemp grower and hemp processing license with the state of Illinois.

Initial hemp crops are in the facility and the company intends to grow, process and sell various hemp and CBD products through this facility.

Lastly, the Company has a strategy of expanding to a limited number of additional states as the opportunity presents itself with the intent of only entering markets that allow for the operation at scale to try and maximize operational efficiencies generally only available to those businesses that operate at scale.

GOING CONCERN

As at June 30, 2020, the Company’s working capital was $47,893,519 (December 31, 2019 – working capital deficiency of $16,071,433) and has accumulated losses of $34,964,165 (December 31, 2019 - $14,677,625) since inception. The Company’s operations are mainly funded with debt and equity financing, which is dependent upon many external factors and may be difficult to raise when required. The Company may not have sufficient cash to fund the acquisition and development of assets therefore will require additional funding, which if not raised, may result in the delay, postponement or curtailment of some of its activities.

These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the statements of financial position classifications used. Such adjustments could be material.

COVID-19

Since December 31, 2019, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and physical distancing, have caused material disruption to business globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.

PROPOSED TRANSACTION

On July 25, 2019, the Company entered a LOI with Kings Garden Inc. (“Kings Garden”) pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Kings Garden.

During the period ended June 30, 2020, the Company determine it would no longer pursue the acquisition of Kings Garden. As such, the $1,853,059 deposit advanced to Kings Garden under the terms of this LOI has been written off and is recorded in net loss.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the six months period ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months period ended June 30, 2019.

As a result of MAG acquisition, the Company began generating revenue on April 24, 2020.  However, the Company still relies on external financings to generate capital.  As a result, the Company has continued to incur losses since the its inception including for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The Company’s ability to continue operations is dependent on management’s ability to secure financing. Management is actively pursuing such additional sources of financing, and there can be no assurance it will be able to secure additional financing required for its operations. Accordingly, these factors indicate material uncertainties that may cause significant doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company is considering various financing options to fund its operations.  

On August 19, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with PI Financial Corp. and Eight Capital to act as co-lead underwriters, on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters, pursuant to which the underwriters will purchase, on a bought-deal basis, an aggregate of 20 million units of RWB at a price of 75 cents per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $15-million.  On August 21, 2020, RWB and a syndicate of underwriters agreed to increase the size of the offering to 33.35 million units of RWB at a price of 75 cents per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $25 million.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss and comprehensive loss of $20,286,540 (2019 - $7,404,237).  The increase in net loss and comprehensive loss of $12,882,303 was mainly attributable to the net effect of:

·Increase of $1,512,050 in sales, from $Nil in 2019 to $1,512,050 in 2020.  The increase is related to hemp sales generated by MAG after the acquisition. 

·Increase of $272,745 in cost of sales from $Nil in 2019 to $272,745 in 2020.  The increase related to hemp sales generated by MAG after the acquisition. 

·Increase of $8,274,760 in fair value adjustment on biological assets from $Nil in 2019 to $8,274,760.  The increase in related to fair value adjustment on biological assets and harvested inventory. 

·Decrease of $383,826 in commission from $2,404,888 to $2,021,062 in 2020  The expense is related to the bridge financing transaction which was amended on January 10, 2020. 

·Increase of $4,042,577 in interest expense from $Nil in 2019 to $4,042,577 in 2020.  The expense is related to interest on the credit facility. 

·Decrease of $1,150,502 in share-based compensation from $2,425,730 to $1,275,228 in 2020.  The expense is related to stock options issued to executives, consultants, officers and employees of the Company.   

·Increase of $755,744 in consulting fees from $Nil in 2019 to $755,744 in 2020.  The increase was to support management in its effort to build infrastructure necessary for the Company’s growth. 

·Increase of $726,617 in marketing from $174,025 in 2019 to $900,652 in 2020.  The increase was to support increased marketing and investor relations activities.

·Increase of $830,144 in professional fees from $Nil in 2019 to $830,144 in 2020.  The increase in professional fees resulting from significant increase in legal and other professional work related to the amalgamation agreement, negotiations and the reverse takeover transactions. 

·Increase of $740,963 in salaries and wages from $Nil in 2019 to $740,963 in 2020  The increase was to support management in its effort to build infrastructure necessary for the Company’s growth.  Another cause of the increase is the increased number of employees as a result of MAG acquisition. 

·Decrease of $998,648 in general and administration from $1,637,946 in 2019 to $639,298 in 2020.   

·Increase of $1,322,246 in depreciation from $Nil in 2019 to $1,322,246 in 2020.  The increase is related to increased depreciable property as a result of MAG acquisition. 

·Increase of $6,122,121 in foreign exchange gain from loss of $1,741,600 in 2019 to gain of $4,380,521 in 2020 

·Increase of $480,143 in interest income from $1,864,340 in 2019 to $2,344,483 in 2020.  The income is related to accrued interest on the Debenture. 

·Increase of $316,931 in accretion of loans receivable from $1,124,015 in 2019 to $1,440,946 in 2020.  The income is related to accretion on the Debenture. 

·Increase of $425,610 in management fees from $Nil in 2019 to $425,610 in 2020.  The management fee is related to management fee charged to MAG. 

·Decrease of $588,402 in loss on revaluation of call option from $2,008,403 in 2019 to $1,420,001 in 2020.  The loss is related to revaluation of Put/Call option. 

·Increase of $149,947 in gain on disposal from $Nil in 2019 to $149,947 in 2020 

·Increase of $1,853,059 in write off of deposit from $Nil in 2019 to $1,853,059 in 2020.  The write off is related to Company’s decision not to pursue the acquisition of Kings Garden. 

·Increase of $91,143 in revaluation of investment from $Nil in 2019 to $91,143 in 2020 

·Increase of $22,832,281 in listing expense from $Nil in 2019 to $22,832,281 in 2020.  The expense is related to listing expense resulted from the reverse takeover transaction. 

 

The increase in overall expenses during the six months period ended June 30, 2020 is in line with management expectation.  

BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

The Company measures its biological assets at their fair value less costs to sell.  This is determined using a model which estimates the expected harvest yield in grams for plants currently being cultivated, and then adjusts that amount for the expected selling price per gram and also for any additional costs to be incurred, such as post-harvest costs.  

The following significant unobservable inputs, all of which are classified as level 3 on the fair value hierarchy, were used by management as part of this model:

·Estimated selling price – calculated as the weighted average historical selling price for all strains of hemp sold by the Company, which is expected to approximate future selling prices 

·Stage of growth – represents the weighted average number of weeks out of the 15 week growing cycle that biological assets have reached as of the measurement date 

·Yield by plant – represents the expected number of grams of finished hemp inventory which are expected to be obtained from each harvested hemp plant

·Wastage – represents the weighted average percentage of biological assets which are expected to fail to mature into hemp plants that can be harvested 

·Post-harvest costs – calculated as the cost per gram of harvested hemp to complete the sale of hemp plants post harvest, consisting of the cost of direct and indirect materials and labour related to labelling and packaging 

 

The following table quantifies each significant unobservable input, and also provides the impact a 10% increase/decrease in each input would have on the fair value of biological assets.

The Company accretes fair value on a straight line basis according to stage of growth.  As a result, a hemp plant that is 50% through its 15 week growing cycle would be ascribed approximately 50% of its harvest date expected fair value (subject to wastage adjustments).

 

The Company’s biological assets consist of approximately 670,000 plants as at June 30, 2020.  The continuity of biological assets is as follows:

The Company’s estimates, by their nature, are subject to changes that could result from volatility of market prices, unanticipated regulatory changes, harvest yields, loss of crops, changes in estimates and other uncontrollable factors that could significantly affect the future fair value of biological assets.

These estimates include the following assumptions:

(a)Selling prices are determined by estimating the Company’s expected average selling price and mix of product strains; 

(b)Cost incurred and remaining costs to complete were estimated by calculating the average production costs up to the point of harvest over the total production period; 

(c)The percentage of costs incurred for each stage of plant growth; 

(d)The stage of plant growth at which point of harvest is determined; 

(e)Costs to sell and other fulfillment costs were determined by estimating the Company’s average cost per pound; and 

(f)Expected yields of harvested plants are estimated and risk adjusted at each stage of growth.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company has a history of operating losses and of negative cash flow from operations.  The Company will remain reliant on capital markets for future funding to meet its ongoing obligations.

The Company’s ability to continue operations is dependent on management’s ability to secure additional financing.  Management is actively pursuing such additional sources of financing, and there can be no assurance it will be able to secure additional financing required for its operations.  Accordingly, these factors indicate material uncertainties that may cause significant doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As at June 30, 2020, the Company had working capital of $47,893,519 (2019 - working capital deficiency of $16,071,433), consisting of cash in the amount of $2,599,154 (2019 - $1,378,687), prepaid expenses of $447,755 (2019 - $124,140), accounts receivable of $2,196,476 (2019 - $1,463,388), biological assets of $8,635,812 (2019 - $Nil), inventory of $12,022,264 (2019 - $Nil), current portion of loans receivable of $44,852,544 (2019 - $36,504,397), net of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $6,803,649 (2019 - $1,334,370), contingent liabilities of $14,889,600 (2019 - $Nil), convertible debenture of $Nil (2019 - $17,597,600), lease liabilities of $71,531 (2019 - $Nil) and credit facility of $Nil (2019 - $36,610,075)

The Company believes that the current capital resources are not sufficient to pay overhead expenses for next twelve months and is currently seeking additional funding to fund its overhead expenses and its continuous search for other business opportunities.  The Company will continue to monitor the current economic and financial market conditions and evaluate their impact on the Company’s liquidity and future prospects.

As at June 30, 2020, the shareholders’ equity of $149,579,014 (2019 - $52,437,424) consisted of common shares of $104,174,967 (2019 - $61,366,160), convertible series I preferred shares of $3,664,799 (2019 - $Nil), convertible series II preferred shares of $63,399,626 (2019 - $Nil), contributed surplus of $11,380,862 (2019 - $5,748,889), cumulative translation adjustment of $1,922,925 (2019 - $Nil) and deficit of $34,964,165 (2019 - $14,677,625).

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

·Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities 

·Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, and 

·Level 3 – valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). 

On January 4, 2019, the Company entered a Put/Call Option Agreement with PharmaCo.  The call option is financial instrument measured at fair value through profit or loss.  As at June 30, 2020, the fair value of the call option was determined to be $19,828,224 (December 31, 2019 - $19,547,757).  During the period ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded revaluation of call option of $1,420,001 (2019 - $2,008,403).  

The fair values of other financial instruments, which include accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans receivable, approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

(a)Credit Risk 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and loans receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. Deposits held with these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company is exposed to significant credit risk on its loans receivable. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

(b)Foreign Exchange Rate 

The Company has cash and loans receivable denominated in US dollars and, as a consequence, the financial results of the Company’s operations as reported in Canadian dollars are subject to changes in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar. Therefore, exchange rate movements in the US dollar can have a significant impact on the Company’s operating results due to the translation of monetary assets.

At June, 2020, a 5% (2019 – 4%)  strengthening (weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would have increased (decreased) the Company’s net income/loss by approximately $368,000 (2019 - $2,064,000)

(c)Interest Rate Risk 

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. Interest earned on cash and cash equivalents is at nominal interest rates, and therefore the Company does not consider interest rate risk to be significant.

As at June 30, 2020, the interest rate on loans receivable and convertible debentures is fixed based on the contracts in place. As such, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent of these financial assets and liabilities.

(d)Liquidity Risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the six month period ended June 30, 2020

Amended and Restated


 

As at June 30, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $2,599,154 (December 31, 2019 - $1,378,687) available to apply against short-term business requirements and current liabilities of $22,860,486 (December 31, 2019 - $55,542,045). All of the liabilities presented as accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within 90 days of June 30, 2020.

CREDIT FACILITY

On January 10, 2020, the existing facility was amended (the “Amended Facility”) pursuant to an amended and restated agreement between the Lender, the Company (as guarantor) and PharmaCo, RWB Illinois, Inc. (“RWB”) and MAG (collectively as borrowers).

The Amended Facility increased the facility limit to USD $49,750,000 in the aggregate of which USD $27,000,000 was to refinance the existing facility and USD $22,750,000 was used to complete the MAG acquisition and for general corporate and operating purposes.

The obligations under the Amended Facility are due and payable on the earlier of:

a)the termination date (being July 10, 2021 subject to the right of the Borrowers to extend the termination date by paying a 1% fee for two additional six-month periods for a total of 30 months); and  

b)the acceleration date (being the earlier of the date of an insolvency event or that a demand notice is delivered pursuant to the terms of the Amended Facility).    

In respect of the advance made by the Lender to the Borrowers under the Facility, the Borrowers agreed to pay the Lender:

a)Interest at the prime rate plus 12% per annum calculated and compounded monthly, payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each month; and 

b)A work fee equal to $1,492,500 (the “Amended Work Fee”) (paid by the Company) 

LOAN PAYABLE

The Company’s loan payable consists of a loan with a commercial lender acquired with the acquisition of Mid-American Growers, Inc. The principal of USD $1,676,000 bears interest at 1% per annum. The Company is required to make monthly repayments of USD $89,335 until April 6, 2022 at which point the loan will be fully repaid. As of June 30, 2020 $1,095,706 of the loan is payable within 12 months and is classified as a current liability on the condensed interim statements of financial position. The remaining $1,441,118 payable is classified as a non-current liability.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following outlines use of estimates and judgements in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, and significant accounting policies of the Company which have not been included in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019:

Biological assets

While the Company’s biological assets are within the scope of IAS 41 Agriculture, the direct and indirect costs of biological assets are determined using an approach similar to the capitalization criteria outlined in IAS 2 Inventories.  They include the direct cost of seeds and growing materials as well as other direct costs such as utilities and supplies used in the growing process.  Indirect labour for individuals involved in the growing and quality control process is also included, as well as depreciation on production equipment and overhead costs.  Direct and indirect costs of biological assets are capitalized based on

Amended and Restated


standard costing as they are incurred and they are all subsequently recorded within the line item ‘cost of sales’ in profit or loss in the period that the related product is sold.  The variance between amount capitalized based on standard costing and actual costs is recorded within the line item ‘cost of sales’ in profit or loss in the period that related costs are incurred.  Unrealized fair value gains/losses on growth of biological assets are recorded in a separate line on the face of the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.  Biological assets are measured at their fair value less costs to sell on the consolidated statements of financial position.

Inventory

The direct and indirect costs of inventory initially include the fair value of the biological asset at the time of harvest.  They also include subsequent costs such as materials, labour and depreciation expense on equipment involved in packaging, labeling and inspection.  All direct and indirect costs related to inventory are capitalized as they are incurred and they are subsequently recorded within ‘cost of sales’ in profit or loss at the time hemp is sold, except for realized fair value amounts included in inventory sold which are recorded as a separate line on the face of the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.  Inventory is measured at lower of cost or net realizable value on the consolidated statements of financial position.

Revenue recognition

The Company follows the following steps for accounting for revenue from contracts with customers:

(1)Identify the contract with customer 

(2)Identify the performance obligation(s) 

(3)Determine the transaction price 

(4)Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) 

(5)Recognize revenue when/as performance obligations(s) are satisfied 

 

Revenue from the direct sale of hemp to customers for a fixed price is recognized when the Company transfers control of the goods to the customer at the point of sale and customer has paid for the goods.  

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the Company to select from possible alternative accounting principles, and to make estimates and assumptions that determine the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and reported costs and expenditures during the reporting period.  Estimates and assumptions may be revised as new information is obtained, and are subject to change.  The Company’s accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are considered appropriate in the circumstances, but are subject to judgments and uncertainties inherent in the financial reporting process. In preparing these MD&A, management has made significant assumptions regarding the circumstances and timing of the transactions contemplated therein, which could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities if changes to the assumptions are made.

 

The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are consistent with those disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

IFRS 16 Leases

The Company adopted IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”) effective January 1, 2019. This new standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both the lessee and the lessor. The new standard introduces a single lessee accounting model that requires the recognition of all assets and liabilities arising from a lease. The main features of the new standard are as follows:

·An entity identifies as a lease a contract that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. 

·A lessee recognizes an asset representing the right to use the leased asset, and a liability for its obligation to make lease payments. Exceptions are permitted for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.  

·A lease asset is initially measured at cost, and is then depreciated similarly to property, plant and equipment. A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments. 

·A lessee presents interest expense on a lease liability separately from depreciation of a lease asset in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

·A lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for them accordingly. 

·A lessor provides enhanced disclosures about its risk exposure, particularly exposure to residual-value risk. 

The new standard supersedes the requirements in IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

The Company reviewed its operations and noted no material impact on the adoption of IFRS 16.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The information provided in this report, including the consolidated financial statements, is the responsibility of Management.  In the preparation of these statements estimates are sometimes necessary to make a determination of future values for certain assets or liabilities.  Management believes such estimates have been based on careful judgments and have been properly reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Risks

The investment in the common shares must be regarded as highly speculative due to the proposed nature of the Company’s business and its present stage of operations.  

There can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Company’s common shares will develop and an investor may find it difficult to resell the common shares.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) are responsible for designing internal controls over financial reporting in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. The design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was assessed as of the date of this MD&A.

Based on this assessment, it was determined that certain weaknesses existed in internal controls over financial reporting. As indicative of many small companies, the lack of segregation of duties and effective risk assessment were identified as areas where weaknesses existed. The existence of these weaknesses is to be compensated for by senior management monitoring, which exists. The officers will continue to monitor very closely all financial activities of the Company and increase the level of supervision in key areas. It is important to note that this issue would also require the Company to hire additional staff in order to provide greater segregation of duties. Since the increased costs of such hiring could threaten the Company’s financial viability, management has chosen to disclose the potential risk in its filings and proceed with increased staffing only when the budgets and workload will enable the action. The Company has attempted to mitigate these weaknesses, through a combination of extensive and detailed review by the CEO of the financial reports.
