19. 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.

19. 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 September 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 September 30, 2020 would have been $585,000 (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 September 30, 2020 represents the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and deposits.

 

Credit concentration

 

During the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2020, two customers accounted for 54%, 35% and 56%, 26% respectively of revenues from operations.

 Total   7,208,555    89%   9,066,913    82%

 

One customer accounted for 94% (December 31, 2019 – three customers for 93%) of trade accounts receivable with amounts owing to the Company of $4,726,967 (December 31, 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.

19. 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.

 

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 and the share purchase warrants. If the share prices of the investment in equity of quoted companies had increased or decreased by 15% as at September 30, 2020, with all other variables held constant, the Company’s investments would have increased or decreased respectively, by approximately $2,015,000 (December 31, 2019 - $241,000).

19. Financial instruments (continued)

 

Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques including Black-Scholes pricing model. Some inputs to this model are taken from observable markets, but a degree of judgment is required in establishing the fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as interest free risk and volatility. Should any of the inputs to these models or changes in assumptions about these factors occur, this could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. If the interest free risk and the volatility used in the calculation of the fair value of the investment in share purchase warrants increased or decreased by 15% as at September 30, 2020, with all other variables held constant, the Company’s investments would have increased or decreased respectively, by approximately $450,000 (December 31, 2019 - $Nil).

 

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. As at September 30, 2020, the accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $3,821,505 are payable within 6 months.

 

20. 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.

 

21. Capital management

 

The Company’s objectives in managing capital are:

 

a)To ensure sufficient liquidity to support its current operations and execute its business plan; and

 

b)To provide adequate return to the shareholders

 

The Company’s primary objectives when managing capital is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

 

The Company currently funds these requirements from cash flows from operations and with financing arrangements with third parties and shareholders. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

As at September 30, 2019, the Company’s working capital deficiency was $4,712,539, (December 31, 2019 – deficiency of $10,492,101).
