2. Going Concern

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months.

 

The Company incurred a net loss of $1,507,507 (2019-$2,211,900) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and as at that date had a working capital deficit of $9,452,773 (December 31, 2019-$8,203,742) and an accumulated deficit of $12,963,987 (December 31, 2019-$11,449,497) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business.

 

On March 31, 2020, Pace Savings & Credit Union Limited ("PACE") and the Company reached an agreement for the repayment of the outstanding amounts owing to PACE. One of the credit facilities, in the amount of $34,391 ($48,788 CAD), was repaid in full on April 3, 2020 and the remaining credit facilities and the corporate term loan were to be repaid on or before September 30, 2020. Subsequently, on November 12, 2020, PACE and the Company reached a new agreement to repay the remaining credit facilities and corporate term loan on or before January 29, 2021. As part of the agreement, the Company is to bring all the amounts owing to PACE current, and prepay to January 2021, the regular monthly principal and interest payments. Management continues discussions with a Canadian chartered bank to re-finance its remaining obligations to PACE and repay other creditors.

 

The Company has defaulted on the convertible promissory notes (see note 14). As a result, the advance (see note 11), the amounts owing to PACE (see note 12) and the obligations under capital lease (see note 13), are also in default.

 

These factors cast substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, which is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to further the development of its business, satisfy its obligations to PACE and its other creditors, whose debts are also in default, and upon achieving profitable operations. There is no assurance of funding being available or available on acceptable terms. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown.

 

Beginning in March 2020 the Governments of Canada and Ontario, as well as foreign governments, instituted emergency measures as a result of the novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19). The virus has had a major impact on Canadian and international securities and currency markets and consumer activity which may impact the Company's financial position, its results of operations and its cash flows significantly. The situation is constantly evolving, however, so the extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will impact businesses and the economy is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict the extent to which its financial position, results of operations and cash flows will be affected in the future.

 

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.
