1. Nature of operations and going concern

 

Routemaster Capital Inc. (the “Company” or “Routemaster”), is a publicly listed company incorporated in the Province of British Columbia and continued under the laws of the Province of Ontario. The Company’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”). The Company sold its sole subsidiary on December 29, 2015 and completed a change of business (“COB”) to a tier 2 investment issuer under the rules of the TSXV on September 16, 2016. The Company’s head office is located at 65 Queen Street West, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5H 2M5.

 

These condensed interim financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis of presentation, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities as they become due in the normal course of operations for the next fiscal year. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred a net (loss) of $(115,812) and as at June 30, 2020, reported an accumulated deficit of $24,782,985 and working capital deficiency of $688,765, including $40,174 in cash. The Company’s current source of operating cash flow is dependent on the marketability of its investments, and there can be no assurances that sufficient funding, including adequate financing, will be available to cover the general and administrative expenses necessary for the maintenance of a public company. The Company’s status as a going concern is contingent upon raising the necessary funds through the selling of investments and issuance of equity or debt. Management believes its working capital will be sufficient to support activities for the next twelve months and expects to raise additional funds when required and available. There can be no assurance that funds will be available to the Company with acceptable terms or at all. These matters constitute material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.


Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”)

 

The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations.

 

2. Significant accounting policies

 

(a) Statement of compliance

 

These condensed interim financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, which was prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

 

These condensed interim financial statements of the Company were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on July 31, 2020.

 

(b) Basis of preparation

 

The Company’s functional and presentation currency is the Canadian dollar (“$”). Transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Gains and losses are included in operations.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

(c) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of these condensed interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed interim financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the condensed interim financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, and the revision affects both current and future periods.

 

Information about critical judgments and estimates in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the condensed interim financial statements are as follows:

 

(i) Fair value of financial derivatives

 

Investments in options and warrants which are not traded on a recognized securities exchange do not have a readily available market value. When there are sufficient and reliable observable market inputs, a valuation technique is used; if no such market inputs are available, the warrants and options are valued at intrinsic value. Refer to Notes 3 and 9 for further details.

 

(ii) Fair value of investment in securities not quoted in an active market or private company investments

 

Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data are not available, judgment is required to establish fair values. Refer to Notes 3 and 9 for further details.

 

(iii) Share-based payments

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to fair value options in order to calculate share-based compensation expense. The Black-Scholes model involves six key inputs to determine the fair value of an option: risk- free interest rate, exercise price, market price of the Company’s shares at date of issue, expected dividend yield, expected life, and expected volatility. Certain of the inputs are estimates which involve considerable judgment and are, or could be, affected by significant factors that are out of the Company’s control. The Company is also required to estimate the future forfeiture rate of options based on historical information in its calculation of share-based compensation expense.

 

(iv) Investment entity

 

Management has determined that the Company qualifies for the exemption from consolidation given that the Company has the following typical characteristics of an investment entity:

 

(a) obtains funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing those investor(s) with investment management services;
     
(b) commits to its investor(s) that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income, or both; and
     
(c) measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis.

 

(v) Contingencies (See Note 12 for details)

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

(d) New accounting change

 

Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2020. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded. The following have not yet been adopted and are being evaluated to determine their impact on the Company.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company adopted IAS 1. The adoption of this new standard did not have any material impact on the Company’s condensed interim financial statements.

 

3. Investments, at fair value through profit and loss

 

At June 30, 2020, the Company’s investment portfolio consisted of three publicly traded investments for a total fair value of $697,448.

        Number of Common Shares     Amount
Balance, December 31, 2017 to 2019         41,513,631     $18,820,850
Private placement financing         20,000,000     600,000
Warrants issued         -     (109,953)
Share issuance costs allocated to shares         -     (7,299)
Balance, June 30, 2020         61,513,631     $19,303,598

 

On June 26, 2020, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement financing and issued 20,000,000 units for gross proceeds of $600,000. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one half common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 for a period of 24 months from issuance. In connection with the closing of the Offering, the Company has paid finder’s fees of $3,150 in cash and 105,000 finder’s warrants to certain finders. Each Finder Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share at a price of $0.05 for a period of 24 months from the date of the closing of the Offering. The issue date fair value of the warrants and broker warrants was estimated at $109,953 and $1,548 using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility based on the Company’s historical volatility of 118.1%; risk-free interest rate of 0.29% and an expected life of 2 years. The Company also paid additional share and warrant issue costs of $4,238.

 

Of the total subscriptions, 7,771,940 units were acquired by companies controlled by an insider of the Company, a company controlled by a director and officer of the Company and by a director and officer of the Company. Each such placement to those persons constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) adopted in the Policy. The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of related party participation in the placements as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved the related parties, exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101). Further details will be included in a material change report to be filed by the Company.

Routemaster’s operations involve the purchase and sale of securities. Accordingly, the majority of the Company’s assets are currently comprised of financial instruments which can expose it to several risks, including market, liquidity, credit and currency risks. There have been no significant changes in the risks, objectives, policies and procedures from the previous year. A discussion of the Company’s use of financial instruments and their associated risks is provided below:

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk arises from the non-performance by counterparties of contractual financial obligations. The Company’s primary counterparty related to its cash carries an investment grade rating as assessed by external rating agencies. The Company maintains all or substantially all of its cash with a major financial institution domiciled in Canada. Deposits held with this institution may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Financial instruments included in receivables consist of interest and amounts receivable of $Nil at June 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - $nil).

9. Financial instruments (continued)

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Company’s access to the capital markets is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or related to matters specific to the Company, or if the value of the Company’s investments declines, resulting in losses upon disposition. In addition, some of the investments the Company holds are lightly traded public corporations or not publicly traded and may not be easily liquidated. The Company generates cash flow from proceeds from the disposition of its investments. There can be no assurances that sufficient funding, including adequate financing, will be available to cover the general and administrative expenses necessary for the maintenance of a public company. All of the Company’s assets, liabilities and obligations are due within one to three years.

 

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash balances. The Company continuously monitors and reviews both actual and forecasted cash flows, and also matches the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities. As at June 30, 2020, the Company had assets of $740,725 (December 31, 2019 - $636,459) to settle current liabilities of

$1,429,490 (December 31, 2019 - $1,802,024).

 

The following table shows the Company’s source of liquidity by assets as at June 30, 2020.

 

June 30, 2020
    Total     Less than 1 year     1-3 years  
Cash   $ 40,174     $ 40,174     $ -  
Public investments     697,448       697,448       -  
Prepaid expenses     3,103       3,103       -  
Total assets - June 30, 2020   $ 740,725     $ 740,725     $ -  

 

Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company’s financial instruments will significantly fluctuate because of changes in market prices.

 

(a) Price and concentration risk

 

The Company is exposed to market risk in trading its investments and unfavourable market conditions could result in dispositions of investments at less than favorable prices. In addition, most of the Company’s investments are in the resource sector. At June 30, 2020, one investment made up approximately 80% (December 31, 2019 – 64%) of the total assets of the Company.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, a 10% decrease in the closing price of this concentrated position would result in an estimated increase in net loss of $0.06 million, or $0.001 per share.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, a 10% decrease (increase) in the closing prices of its portfolio investments would result in an estimated increase (decrease) in net loss of $0.07 million, or $0.002 per share. This estimated impact on the statement of loss includes the estimated value of the non-traded warrants held, as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

9. Financial instruments (continued)

 

Market risk (continued)

 

(b) Interest rate risk

 

The Company’s cash is subject to interest rate cash flow risk as it carries variable rates of interest. The Company’s interest rate risk management policy is to purchase highly liquid investments with a term to maturity of one year or less on the date of purchase. Based on cash balances on hand at June 30, 2020, a 1% change in interest rates could result in a corresponding nominal change in net loss.

 

(c) Currency risk

 

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s operations are exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations, which could have a significant adverse effect on its results of operations from time to time. The Company’s foreign currency risk arises primarily with respect to United States dollar and British Pound. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between this currency and the Canadian dollar could have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company does not engage in any hedging activity to mitigate this risk. The Company reduces its currency risk by maintaining minimal cash balances held in foreign currency.

 

As at June 30, 2020, the Company had the following financial assets and liabilities, (amounts posted in Canadian dollars) denominated in foreign currencies:

 

June 30, 2020
    United States
Dollars
    British
Pound
 
Cash   $ 135     $ -  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities     (61,326 )     (74,444 )
Net assets (liabilities)   $ (61,191 )   $ (74,444 )

 

A 10% increase (decrease) in the value of the Canadian dollar against all foreign currencies in which the Company held financial instruments as of June 30, 2020 would result in an estimated increase (decrease) of approximately ($13,600). (December 31, 2019 - $(13,400)).

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company has determined the carrying values of its financial instruments as follows:

 

i. The carrying values of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
ii. Public and private investments are carried at amounts in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies as set out in Note 2 of the Company audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
iii. Prior to maturity, the outstanding loans receivable are carried at their discounted value. Following their maturity, loans receivables are carried at their estimated realizable value.

The Company does not have Level 2 and Level 3 investments as at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

10. Capital management

 

The Company considers its capital to consist of share capital, share based payments reserves and deficit. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are:

 

a) to allow the Company to respond to changes in economic and/or marketplace conditions by maintaining the Company’s ability to purchase new investments;
b) to give shareholders sustained growth in value by increasing shareholders’ equity; while
c) taking a conservative approach towards financial leverage and management of financial risks.

 

The Company’s management reviews its capital structure on an on-going basis and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its underlying investments. The Company’s current capital is composed of its shareholders’ equity and, to-date, has adjusted or maintained its level of capital by:

 

a) raising capital through equity financings; and
b) realizing proceeds from the disposition of its investments

 

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements other than of the TSXV which has certain working capital and financial resource requirements to be available to maintain operations and cover general and administration expenses. TSXV will consider, among other things, the listed issuer’s ability to meet its obligations as they come due, as well as its working capital position, quick asset position, total assets, capitalization, cash flow and earnings in the condensed interim financial statements regarding the listed issuer’s ability to continue as a going concern. There were no changes to the Company’s capital management during the six months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the Company may not be compliant with the policies of the TSXV. The impact of any such violation is not known and is ultimately dependent on the discretion of the TSXV.
