NOTE TO READER

In contrast to the usual certificate required for non-venture issuers under Regulation 52-109 respecting Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings (Regulation 52-109), namely, Form 52-109F2, this Form 52-109F2 – IPO/RTO does not include representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures (DC&P) and internal control over financial reporting (ICFR), as defined in Regulation 52-109. In particular, the certifying officers filing this certificate are not making any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of

 

  i) controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and

 

  ii) a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer’s GAAP.

The issuer’s certifying officers are responsible for ensuring that processes are in place to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support the representations they are making in this certificate.

Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of certifying officers of an issuer to design and implement on a cost effective basis DC&P and ICFR as defined in Regulation 52-109 in the first financial period following

 

  completion of the issuer’s initial public offering in the circumstances described in s. 5.3 of Regulation 52-109;

 

  completion of a reverse takeover in the circumstances described in s. 5.4 of Regulation 52-109; or

 

  the issuer becoming a non-venture issuer in the circumstances described in s. 5.5 of Regulation 52-109;

may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.
