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 $5,091,895 (2021-$1,215,227) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 and as at that date had a working capital deficit of $17,084,363 (December 31, 2021-$13,651,619) and an accumulated deficit of $23,426,544 (December 31, 2021-$18,334,649) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business.

On February 18, 2021, PACE Savings and Credit Union Limited ("PACE") and the Company reached a new agreement to repay all amounts owing to PACE on or before July 30, 2021. Management was not able to meet the July 30, 2021 deadline. On August 13, 2021, PACE agreed to allow the Company until August 31, 2021 to bring the arrears current and continue to September 2022, the original maturity date. Management was not able to meet the August 31, 2021 deadline. On November 15, 2021, the Company paid all arrears to PACE and PACE agreed to allow the Company to continue payments to the end of the terms of each obligation, September 2022. Similarly, the Company paid all arrears to PACE on March 15, 2022 and PACE has allowed the Company to continue payments to the end of the terms of each obligation, September 2022. Management continues discussions with equity investors and with PACE to re-finance its remaining obligations to PACE, and repay other creditors and has had discussions with the appropriate party to extend the repayment date on the 1st mortgage which currently matures September 1, 2022. One of the Company's significant customer contracts expired at the end of December 31, 2020 and one customer contract was terminated by the Company in September of 2021. The Company is also anticipating a successful underwritten offering in connection with its filed registration statement although there can be no assurance that the underwritten offering will be completed.

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, and upon achieving profitable operations through revenue growth. 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 full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and the various responses to it might impact the Company’s business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that are not subject to accurate prediction and that are beyond The Company’s control. 

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.
