12. Term loans (continued)

 

On December 23, 2019, the Company entered into a SR&ED tax credit loan of $247,500 bearing interest at a rate of 16.68% and fees totaling $22,375 paid at the issuance of the loan. The loan was discounted

 

using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate on the loan is 25.68%. The loan is secured by the 2019 investment tax credit receivable and is repayable on December 22, 2020.

 

The SR&ED tax credit loans are financing, in the form of loans, with respect to the Company’s scientific research and experimental development tax credits ("SR&ED Tax Credits"). The principal of the loans is subject to holdback to be disbursed upon reception of notice of assessment. The principal of the loans is subject to repayment at the earlier of (a) receipt of the SR&ED Tax Credits refund or (b) the maturity date.

 

The SR&ED Tax Credits loan agreement provides for automatic renewal of twelve months if loan is not paid at maturity. As at March 31, 2020, the amount available under the term loan financing agreement totals $247,500 (2019 – $461,500).

 

Pursuant to each financing, the Company granted the lender a security interest and movable hypothec on all of its assets excluding its intellectual property but including a first rank claim on the refundable portion of its SR&ED Tax Credits for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 of $434,474.

 

On May 1, 2019 the Company entered into loan agreements with unrelated individuals totaling $115,200 bearing interest at the annual rate of 8% payable at maturity, on May 1, 2020. The other term loans are unsecured and are convertible, at 10% discount, for a variable amount, of shares into any future private placement until maturity. The fair value of the debt instrument at inception was determined using the estimated cash flows discounted using a market rate of 20%. The residual amount of the non derivative liability of $12,800 associated with the conversion feature has been recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

 

The maturity of the other term loans was extended to July 13, 2020. An amount of $115,200 was paid to extinguish the other loan amounts.

13. Convertible debentures (continued)

 

The Convertible loan is a compound financial instrument and the total proceeds of the issuance was allocated between a liability for the loan and an equity component for the conversion feature. The fair value of the debt liability component at inception was determined using estimated future cash flows discounted using a market interest rate of 20%. The effective interest rate of the liability component is 21.55%. The residual amount representing the value of the conversion option equity component was classified in the shareholders’ (Deficiency) Equity.

 

At the issuance date, the Convertible loan was recorded as follows:

 

   $ 
Liability component   804,578 
Conversion option recognized in equity, net of transaction cost of $47,338   98,422 
Net proceeds   903,000

On April 2, 2018, the Company completed a $3,000,000 non-brokered private placement of 9.5% secured convertible debentures (the “2018 Convertible Debenture”). The 2018 convertible debentures bear interest at the rate of 9.5% per annum, with interest payable in cash on a quarterly basis, and mature on March 29, 2020. Each Debenture is convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.80 per common share. The 2018 convertible debentures may be redeemed before maturity, in whole at anytime or in part from time to time at the option of the Company. In the event the Company elects to redeem the debentures before the maturity date, the Company shall be required to pay all interest that otherwise would have accrued on the debentures up to the maturity date. The 2018 convertible debentures are secured by a hypothec on the universality of all of the property, rights and assets of the Company, present and future, movable and immovable, corporeal and incorporeal.

 

The 2018 Convertible Debenture is a compound financial instrument and the total proceeds of the issuance was allocated between a liability for the debenture and an equity component for the conversion feature. The fair value of the debt liability component at inception was determined using estimated future cash flows discounted using a market interest rate of 20%. The residual amount representing the value of the conversion option equity component was classified in the shareholders’ (Deficiency) Equity.

Convertible debenture

 

In connection with the convertible debenture, the Company paid finder fees in the amount of $180,000 to the agent. Total transaction costs amount to $315,702 and have been allocated between the liability and equity components. The effective interest rate of the liability component is 20.23%.

   $ 
Debt component, net of transactions cost of $268,364   2,282,538 
Conversion option recognized in equity, net of transaction cost of $47,338   401,760 
Net proceeds   2,684,298 

 

On March 30, 2020, the Company reached an agreement to extend the maturity date of its $3,000,000 convertible debenture to June 30, 2020, from the original maturity date of March 29, 2020. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company redeemed $300,000 (representing 10% of the principal amount), paid a onetime accommodation fee of $54,000, and is no longer subject to any prepayment penalties going forward. The conversion features have not changed. The gain in the amount of $59,037 resulting from the revised amortised cost of the convertible debenture was recognised in loss presented against the accretion expense.

20. Financial instruments

 

As part of its operations, the Company carries a number of financial instruments. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial

 

instruments except as otherwise disclosed. The Company's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of the financial market and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge these risks.

 

Foreign currency risk

 

The Company enters into transactions denominated in US dollars for which the related revenues, expenses, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities balances are subject to exchange rate fluctuations.

 

As at June 30, 2020 the following items are denominated in US dollars:

20. Financial instruments (continued)

 

Foreign currency 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.

 

Sensitivity analysis

 

At June 30, 2020, if the US Dollar changes by 10% against the Canadian dollar with all other variables held constant, the impact on pre-tax gain or loss for the year ended June 30, 2020 would have been $(75,000) (December 31, 2019 – $(29,000)).

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The maximum credit risk to which the Company is exposed as at June 30, 2020 represents the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and deposits.

 

Credit concentration

 

During the three and the six months ended June 30, 2020, two customers accounted for 62%, 30% and 63%, 22% respectively of revenues from operations.

 

   Three months ended June 30, 2020   Six months ended June 30, 2020 
   Revenues   % of total revenues   Revenues   % of total revenues 
    $    %    $    % 
Customer 1   1,319,904    62%   1,794,336    63%
Customer 2   638,887    30%   638,887    22%
Total   1,958,791    92%   2,433,223    85%

 

Four customers accounted for 74% (December 31, 2019 – three customers for 93%) of trade accounts receivable with amounts owing to the Company of $264,722 (2019 - $96,874), representing the Company's major credit risk exposure. Credit concentration is determined based on customers representing 10% or more of total revenues and/or total accounts receivable. The Company believes that there is no unusual exposure associated with the collection of these receivables. The Company manages its credit risk by performing credit assessments of its customers and provides allowances for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company does not generally require collateral or other security from customers on accounts receivable.

20. Financial instruments (continued)

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

Financial instruments are comprised of cash, accounts receivable, investments, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, term loans, long-term debt and convertible debentures. There are three levels of fair value that reflect the significance of inputs used in determining fair values of financial instruments:

 

  Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
  Level 3 — inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

 

Investments in HPQ shares are valued at quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1.

 

Investments in HPQ warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model and are classified as Level 3.

 

Investments in BGF shares are valued based on a valuation technique that estimates a business' value based on a recent round of financing and are classified as Level 1.

 

The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and term loans approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term maturities.

 

The fair value of the long-term debt and of the 2018 Convertible Debenture approximates their carrying amounts due to their recent issuance.

 

Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in interest rates. Changes in market interest rates may have an effect on the cash flows associated with some financial assets and liabilities, known as cash flow risk, and on the fair value of other financial assets or liabilities, known as price risk, and on the fair value of investments or liabilities, known as price risks. The Company is exposed to a risk of fair value on the term loans and convertible debentures as those financial instruments bear interest at fixed rates.

 

Price risk

 

Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market price (other than those arising from foreign currency risk and interest risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuers or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The most significant exposure to the price risk for the Company arises from its investments in shares of public companies quoted on the TSXV Exchange. If equity prices had increased or decreased by 15% as at June 30, 2019, with all other variables held constant, the Company’s investments would have increased or decreased respectively, by approximately $1,111,000 (December 31, 2019 - $241,000).

20. Financial instruments (continued)

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's ability to raise required funding through future equity and / or debt issuances and to generate positive cash flows from operations (see note 1 (b)). The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.

 

The following table summarizes the contractual maturities of financial liabilities as at June 30, 2020:

 

   Carrying value  

Total

Contractual amount

  

6 months

or less

   7 to 12 months   1 to 3 years 
   $   $   $   $     
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   4,116,398    4,116,398    4,116,398    -    - 
Term loans   332,137    362,700    362,700    -    - 
Convertible debentures   816,569    1,007,117    42,893    42,893    921,331 
    5,265,107    5,486,218    4,521,994    42,893    921,331 

 

21. Contingent liabilities

 

The Company is currently a party to various legal proceedings and a tax authorities’ review. If management believes that a loss arising from these matters is probable and can reasonably be estimated, that amount of the loss is recorded. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Based on currently available information, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters, individually and in aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or overall trends in results of operations.

 

The Company had received a government grant in prior years of approximately $800,000 to assist with the development of a new system of advanced waste treatment systems technology. The grant is potentially repayable at the rate of 3% of any consideration received as a result of the project, for which funding has been received, to a maximum of the actual grant received. This repayment provision will remain in effect until May 30, 2024. The Company abandoned the project in 2011 and accordingly, no amount is expected to be repaid.
