a)On October 5, 2021, the Company issued C$10.3 million in unsecured debentures with a maturity 12 months from the date of issue. On June 15, 2022, the maturity date of the debentures was extended to October 4, 2023, with the extension being treated as a modification of the original debt with the classification changing from current to long-term liabilities.

In connection with the extension, the Company cancelled 412,000 warrants from the previous agreement. On extension the Company issued 1,000,000 warrants to purchase common shares at an exercise price of C$2.25 per share. The value of these warrants was incorporated in the $803 gain on modification of debt. The warrants expire on the debt maturity date of October 4, 2023.

 

The unsecured debentures include 8% annual interest paid at maturity with $449 being recorded as borrowing costs on June 15, 2022, and an effective interest rate of 24%.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred $452 in interest expense (March 31, 2022 - $449) on this loan, $915 is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as at March 31, 2023.

8.CONVERTIBLE DEBT

 

On March 24, 2023, the Corporation announced that it had completed a private placement of unsecured convertible debentures for gross proceeds of C$4 million. The convertible debentures are issued in denominations of C$1 thousand, bear interest at 15% per annum, and mature 18 months from the closing date. Interest payments on the convertible debentures are due on the twelve-month anniversary and/or the maturity date of September 23, 2024.

 

Each convertible debenture is convertible at the holder’s option into Units at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price of C$1.45 per Unit. Upon conversion, each Unit will consist of one Common Share and 0.2 of a Warrant. Each Warrant is exercisable into a Warrant Share at an exercise price of C$1.45 for a period of thirty-six months following the initial debenture closing date.

 

The unsecured convertible debentures represent financial instruments that include host debentures accounted for at amortized cost and conversion option and warrant option derivatives, which are separated from the convertible debentures and accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the statement of loss. The conversion option and warrant option derivative fair values are combined in the conversion derivative column in the table below.

 

    Convertible debentures   Conversion derivative   Total
    $   $   $
As at January 1, 2023                  
Convertible debt principal     2,208       747       2,955  
Transactions costs     (159 )           (159 )
As at March 24, 2023     2,049       747       2,796

Interest accretion     4             4  
As at March 31, 2023     2,053       655       2,708  

 

 The fair value of the derivatives was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions as at March 31, 2023:

 

   Conversion derivative  Warrant derivative
       
Risk-free interest rate   4.38%   3.77%
Expected life of options   1.5 years    3 years 
Annual dividend rate   0%   0%
Annualized volatility   68%   94%
Forfeiture rate   0%   0%

  

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the change in fair value resulted in a gain of $92 recognized in the statement of loss. The Company incurred $9 in interest expense on the convertible debentures, $5 is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as at March 31, 2023.

9.4 Deferred Share Units

 

Pursuant to the Company’s Deferred Share Unit (“DSU”) Incentive Plan approved by the board of directors of the Company on July 8, 2018, deferred stock units to acquire common shares of the Company may be granted to specified board members of the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of the plan.

 

Each DSU entitles the participant to receive one common share upon vesting. DSUs vest into common shares on the board members’ separation date from the board of directors. DSUs track the value of the underlying common shares, but do not entitle the recipient to the underlying common shares until such DSUs vest, nor do they entitle a holder to exercise voting rights or any other rights attached to ownership or control of the common shares, until the DSU vests and the DSU participant receives common shares.

 

A summary of the Company’s DSUs are as follows:

 

   Number of DSUs
    
 Outstanding, December 31, 2021    170,791 
 Issued    452,910 
 Outstanding, December 31, 2022    623,701 
 Issued    180,378 
 Outstanding, March 31, 2023    804,079 

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company issued 180,378 DSUs (March 31, 2022 – 59,375) to board members of the Company that vest upon the board members separation date from the Board of Directors.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded $140 (March 31, 2022 - $142) as stock-based compensation for the fair value of the DSUs issued.

11.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Fair values

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, accounts payable, the credit facility, short-term loans, deferred consideration, convertible debt, and lease obligations. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of their fair values based on their current nature and current market rates for similar financial instruments. Lease obligations are classified as level 2 within the hierarchy. The conversion features and warrants attached to the convertible debt are the only instruments measured at fair value through profit and loss in accordance with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments.

 

The following table summarizes the carrying values and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments:

 

    March 31, 2023   December 31, 2022
    $   $
Assets:        
Measured at amortized cost (i)     5,337       4,277  
Liabilities:                
Amortized cost (ii)     14,854       14,108  
Fair value through P&L (iii)     2,708        

 

(i)   Cash, restricted cash and trade and other receivables

11.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

 

The Company classifies its fair value measurements in accordance with the three-level fair value hierarchy. The measurement is classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

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 (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices), and

 

Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data

 

The carrying value amount of the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at amortized cost approximates fair value due to their short-term nature and market conditions. The Company valued the derivatives associated with the convertible debt (iii) as a level 2 instrument. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of the conversion features attributed to the convertible debt (Note 8).
