DIGATRADE FINANCIAL CORP.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

 

The Company was incorporated on December 28, 2000, under the Company Act of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. On February 19, 2015, the Company changed its name from Rainchief Energy Inc. to Bit-X Financial Corporation. On October 27, 2015, the Company changed its name from Bit-X Financial Corporation to Digatrade Financial Corp. The Company is focused on increasing scale, further development and branding a digital asset (decentralized blockchain based crypto-currency) exchange platform.

 

In March 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Mega Ideas Holdings Limited, dba ANX (“ANX”), a company incorporated and existing under the laws of Hong Kong. ANX owns and operates a technology platform and provides operational and technology support specializing in blockchain applications and crypto-currency exchange services. In addition, they provide transaction and settlement services, debit card solutions along with blockchain development services.

 

This services agreement is in line with the Company’s business model restructuring which is to focus on licensing, developing, and branding a digital exchange trading platform and peer-to-peer electronic payment processing network.

 

The head office, principal address, and records office of the Company are located at 1500 West Georgia Street, Suite 1300, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2Z6.

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards on the basis that the Company is a going concern and will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Several conditions as set out below cast uncertainties on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the financial support from its creditors, shareholders, and related parties, its ability to obtain financing for its development projects, and upon the attainment of future profitable operations.

 

The Company has not yet achieved profitable operations and has accumulated losses of $5,176,116 since inception and working capital deficiency of $782,107 as at December 31, 2017; accordingly, the Company will need to raise additional funds through future issuance of securities or debt financing. Although the Company has raised funds in the past, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to raise sufficient funds in the future, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations as they come due in the normal course of business. It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful or if the Company will attain a profitable level of operations.

 

The current cash resources are not adequate to pay the Company’s accounts payable and to meet its minimum commitments at the date of these consolidated financial statements, including planned corporate and administrative expenses, and other project implementation costs, accordingly, there is significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

a)Basis of Presentation

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments classified as available-for-sale that have been measured at fair value. Cost is the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for net assets.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

b)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”).

 

These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on April 27, 2018.

 

c)Basis of Consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The following companies have been consolidated within these consolidated financial statements:

 

Entity Country of Incorporation Holding Functional Currency
       
Digatrade Financial Corp. Canada Parent Company Canadian Dollar
Digatrade Limited Canada 100% Canadian Dollar
Digatrade (UK) Limited United Kingdom 100% Pounds Sterling
Digatrade Limited USA 100% US Dollar

 

The Company’s former subsidiaries, Jaydoc Capital Corp. and Rainchief Renewable-1 S.R.L., were de-registered during the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

d)Foreign Currency

 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the functional currency of the parent company. Each subsidiary determines its own functional currency (Note 2(c)) and items included in the financial statements of each subsidiary are measured using that functional currency.

 

i)Transactions and Balances in Foreign Currencies

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective entity using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the re-measurement of monetary items at year-end exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss.

 

Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and are not retranslated. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rate at the date when fair value was determined.

 

ii)Foreign Operations

 

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date and their revenues and expenses are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on the translation are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the currency translation reserve in equity. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in earnings and recognized as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

e)Financing and Finder’s Fees

 

Financing and finder’s fees relating to financial instruments with a term of one year or less are expensed in the period incurred. For financial instruments with a term of over one year, the fees are netted against the financial instruments and amortized over the term of the financial instruments.

 

f)Share Capital

 

The Company records proceeds from share issuances, net of commissions and issuance costs.  Shares issued for other than cash consideration are valued at the quoted price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board in the United States based on the earliest of: (i) the date the shares are issued, and (ii) the date the agreement to issue the shares is reached.

 

g)Share-Based Payments

 

The fair value method of accounting is used for share-based payment transactions. Under this method, the cost of stock options and other share-based payments is recorded based on the estimated fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model at the grant date and charged to profit over the vesting period. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of equity instruments expected to vest.

 

Upon the exercise of stock options and other share-based payments, consideration received on the exercise of these equity instruments is recorded as share capital and the related share-based payment reserve is transferred to share capital. The fair value of unexercised equity instruments are transferred from reserve to retained earnings upon expiry.

 

h)Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is comprised of consulting fees and commissions earned on trades executed on the digital currency trading platform. Consulting fee income is recognized as the consulting services are provided. Commission is considered earned when a trade is completed by the Company’s customers. As the platform is not yet fully live, commissions and consulting fees earned have been accounted for as a recovery of development costs incurred.

 

i)Loss per Share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share, as the issuance of shares on the exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants is anti-dilutive. The loss per share in prior periods has been adjusted to take into account the consolidation of the Company’s common stock on June 8, 2016 (Note 10(b)(i)).

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

j)Income Taxes

 

Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

 

i)Current Income Tax

 

Current income tax assets and liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

 

ii)Deferred Income Tax

 

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.

 

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilized against future taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a right and intention to offset current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority.

 

Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.

 

k)Financial Instruments

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities classified at fair value through profit or loss) are added to, or deducted from, the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities classified at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured subsequently as described below. The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments.

 

i)Financial Assets

 

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:

 

·Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;
·Loans and receivables;
·Held-to-maturity investments; and
·Available-for-sale financial assets.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

k)    Financial Instruments (Continued)

 

i)Financial Assets (Continued)

 

The category determines subsequent measurement and whether any resulting income and expense is recognized in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income.

 

All financial assets except for those at fair value through profit or loss are subject to review for impairment at least at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired when there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets, which are described below.

 

·Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss – Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets that are either classified as held for trading or that meet certain conditions and are designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition. All derivative financial instruments fall into this category, except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments. Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit or loss. The Company’s cash falls into this category of financial instruments.

·Loans and receivables – Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognition, these are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any provision for impairment. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company’s accounts receivable falls into this category of financial instruments.

 

·Held-to-maturity investments – Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity, other than loans and receivables. Investments are classified as held-to-maturity if the Company has the intention and ability to hold them until maturity. The Company currently does not hold financial assets in this category.

 

Held-to-maturity investments are measured subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method. If there is objective evidence that the investment is impaired as determined by reference to external credit ratings, then the financial asset is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows. Any changes to the carrying amount of the investment, including impairment losses, are recognized in profit or loss.

 

·Available-for-sale financial assets – Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated to this category or do not qualify for inclusion in any of the other categories of financial assets. The Company currently does not hold financial assets in this category. Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and reported within the available-for-sale reserve within equity, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange differences on monetary assets, which are recognized in profit or loss. When the asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from the equity reserve to profit or loss, and presented as a reclassification adjustment within other comprehensive income.

 

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, then the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

k)    Financial Instruments (Continued)

 

i)Financial Assets (Continued)

 

In respect of available-for-sale financial assets, impairment losses previously recognized in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the revaluation reserve.

 

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred.

 

ii) Financial Liabilities

 

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, or other financial liabilities upon initial recognition.

 

·Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss – Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities that are either classified as held for trading or that meet certain conditions and are designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition. Liabilities in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit or loss. The Company does not hold financial liabilities in this category.

 

·Other financial liabilities – Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the effective interest rate method amortization process. The Company’s trade and other payables, liabilities to customers, and promissory notes payable fall into this category of financial instruments.

 

A financial liability is derecognized when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expired.

 

 

NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

 

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies which are described in Note 2, management is required to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.

 

Significant judgments, estimates, and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are described below.

 

Deferred Tax Assets

 

Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unutilized tax losses, require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate sufficient taxable earnings in future periods in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. In addition, future changes in tax laws could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in future periods. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the net deferred tax assets recorded at the reporting date could be impacted.

NOTE 4 – ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

 

A number of new accounting standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations have been issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company intends to adopt the following standards, if applicable, when they become effective.

 

a)IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

 

IFRS 9 as issued reflects the first phase of the IASBs work on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets as defined in IAS 39. The standard was initially effective for annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2013, but amendments to IFRS 9 Mandatory Effective Date of IFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures, issued in December 2011, moved the mandatory effective date to January 1, 2018. The Company has determined that there is no material impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

b)IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

IFRS 15 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The standard is effective for annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2018 and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company has determined that there is no material impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

c)IFRS 16 Leases

 

IFRS 16 provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring the recognition of assets and liabilities for all leases, unless the least term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from IAS 17 and the distinction between operating and finance leases is retained. The standard is effective for annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

NOTE 15 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

 

The Company is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities by category are summarized in Note 2(k). The Company’s risk management is coordinated in close co-operation with the board of directors and focuses on actively securing the Company’s short to medium-term cash flows and raising finances for the Company’s capital expenditure program. The Company does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes.

 

The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed are as follows:

The Company has a working capital deficiency of $782,107 as at December 31, 2017. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

NOTE 15 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued)

 

b)Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

 

c)Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counter party’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company is in the development stage and has not yet commenced commercial production or sales. Therefore, the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk.

 

d)Foreign Exchange Risk

 

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk to the extent it incurs currency exchange platform service and development expenditures and operating costs in foreign currencies including the U.S. Dollar. The Company does not hedge its exposure to fluctuations in the related foreign exchange rates.

 

e)Fair Values

 

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining fair value measurements:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3: Techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

 

The level within which the financial asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant input to the fair value measurement. The Company’s financial instruments were measured at fair value use Level 1 valuation technique during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The carrying values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values.

 

 

NOTE 16 – CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

 

The Company’s objective for managing its capital structure is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to ensure it has the financial capacity, liquidity and flexibility to fund its ongoing operations and capital expenditures.

 

The Company manages its share capital as capital, which as at December 31, 2017, amounted to $4,106,207. At this time, the Company’s access to the debt market is limited and it relies on equity issuances and the support of shareholders to fund the development of its trading platform. The Company monitors capital to maintain a sufficient working capital position to fund annualized administrative expenses and capital investments.

 

As at December 31, 2017, the Company had working capital deficiency of $782,107. The Company will issue shares and may from time to time adjust its capital spending to maintain or adjust the capital structure. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain debt or equity capital in the case of operating cash deficits.

 

The Company’s share capital is not subject to external restrictions. The Company has not paid or declared any dividends since the date of incorporation, nor are any contemplated in the foreseeable future. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2017.
