Deferred tax assets and liabilities have been offset where they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company has the legal right and intent to offset.

As at October 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $104,425 of non-capital income tax losses carried forward, which will begin to expire starting in 2036. The Company also had approximately $2,900 of capital losses carried forward, which do not expire. Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of those losses for which there currently is no expectation of future loss utilization as they may not be used to offset taxable profits in the near future, as they have arisen in subsidiaries that have been loss-making for some time, and there are no other tax planning opportunities or other evidence of recoverability in the near future. If the consolidated financials were able to recognize all such unrecognized deferred tax assets, the profit after tax would increase in concurrence with the income tax recoverable in the future periods.
