INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS IN THE UNITED STATES

The Amalgamation involves the distribution of Resulting Issuer Common Shares to Partner Jet Shareholders and Volatus Shareholders in exchange for their Partner Jet Shares and Volatus Common Shares, respectively. The Amalgamation also involves the distribution of Replacement Options to holders of Partner Jet Options and holders of Volatus Options in exchange for their outstanding and unexercised Partner Jet Options and Volatus Options, respectively, the distribution of Replacement Compensation Warrants to holders of outstanding Volatus Compensation Warrants, the distribution of Replacement Warrants to holders of outstanding Bridge Financing Warrants and Volatus SR Warrants, and the distribution of Resulting Issuer Preferred Shares to Volatus Shareholders in exchange for their Volatus Class A Preferred Shares. Partner Jet is incorporated and existing under the provincial laws of Ontario. Volatus is incorporated under the laws of Canada and, prior to the completion of the Amalgamation, will be required to continue under the provincial laws of Ontario. The Resulting Issuer Common Shares, Replacement Options, Replacement Compensation Warrants, Replacement Warrants, and Resulting Issuer Preferred Shares (collectively, the "Resulting Issuer Securities") are securities of a foreign company. The Amalgamation is subject to the disclosure requirements of a foreign jurisdiction, which are different from those of the United States. Financial statements included in this Circular have been prepared in accordance with international accounting standards that may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States companies.

The Resulting Issuer Securities to be issued to Partner Jet Shareholders in the United States pursuant to the Amalgamation have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States and are being issued in the United States in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Rule 802 thereof ("Rule 802") and exemptions provided under the securities laws of each applicable state of the United States. Rule 802 provides an exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act for offers and sales of securities issued in exchange for securities of a foreign subject company where:

  • the subject company is a "foreign private issuer" as defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act;

  • the holders of Resulting Issuer Securities in the United States will hold no more than 10 percent (10%) of the securities of the Resulting Issuer as measured immediately after the Amalgamation;

  • Partner Jet Shareholders and Volatus Shareholders in the United States participate in the Amalgamation on terms at least as favourable as those offered to any other holder of the subject securities;

  • an informational document in connection with the Amalgamation is published or disseminated to shareholders in the United States, complying with the disclosure requirements set forth in Rule 802, on a comparable basis to that provided to holders of the subject securities in the foreign subject company's home jurisdiction; and

  • the informational document, including any amendments thereto, is furnished to the United States Securities and Exchange Common (the "SEC") on Form CB together with a Form F-X to appoint an agent for service of process in the United States.

The exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 802 does not exempt the issuance of securities upon the exercise of any of the Resulting Issuer Securities that were previously issued pursuant to Rule 802 or were issued pursuant to another exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act. Therefore, the Resulting Issuer Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of any of the Resulting Issuer Securities may not be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided by Rule 802 and the Resulting Issuer Securities may only be exercised pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable securities laws of each applicable state of the United States. Prior to the issuance of Resulting Issuer Common Shares pursuant to any such exercise, the Resulting Issuer may require evidence (which may include an opinion of counsel) reasonably satisfactory to the Resulting Issuer to the effect that the issuance of such Resulting Issuer Common Shares does not require registration under the U.S. Securities Act or applicable securities laws of each applicable state of the United States.


This Circular will be filed with the SEC on Form CB.

The Resulting Issuer Common Shares will not be listed for trading on any United States stock exchange. Accordingly, the solicitations and transactions contemplated in this Circular are made in the United States for securities of a foreign issuer in accordance with foreign corporate and securities laws, and this Circular has been prepared solely in accordance with disclosure requirements applicable in such foreign jurisdiction. Partner Jet Shareholders in the United States should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States applicable to registration statements under the U.S. Securities Act.

Partner Jet Shareholders in the United States who furnish a duly executed Letter of Transmittal and establish to the satisfaction of the Resulting Issuer that the exchange of Partner Jet Shares and Partner Jet Options for Resulting Issuer Common Shares and Replacement Options will be exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act, will be allowed to exchange their Partner Jet Shares and Partner Jet Options for Resulting Issuer Common Shares and Replacement Options.

The solicitation of proxies for the Partner Jet Meeting is not subject to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act. Accordingly, the solicitations and transactions contemplated in this Circular are made in the United States for securities of a Canadian issuer in accordance with Canadian corporate and securities laws, and this Circular has been prepared solely in accordance with disclosure requirements applicable in Canada. Partner Jet Shareholders in the United States should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States applicable to registration statements under the U.S. Securities Act and proxy statements under the U.S. Exchange Act.

Specifically, information concerning the operations of Partner Jet and Volatus contained herein has been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards, which are not comparable in all respects to United States disclosure standards. The unaudited pro forma financial statements and the unaudited and audited historical financial statements of Partner Jet and Volatus included in this Circular have been presented in Canadian dollars. All financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and are subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards, which differ from United States GAAP and auditing and auditor independence standards in certain material respects, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies. Likewise, information concerning assets and operations of Partner Jet and Volatus contained herein has been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards and is not comparable in all respects to similar information for United States companies.

Partner Jet Shareholders should be aware that the Amalgamation and ownership of Resulting Issuer Securities may have material tax consequences in the United States, including, without limitation, the possibility that the Amalgamation is a taxable transaction, in whole or in part, for United States federal income tax purposes. Tax considerations applicable to Partner Jet Shareholders subject to United States federal income tax have not been included in this Circular. Partner Jet Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them of the Amalgamation.


Enforcement by Partner Jet Shareholders in the United States of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Resulting Issuer is located in and organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, that some or all of its officers and directors are residents of countries other than the United States, that the experts named in this Circular are residents of countries other than the United States, and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Resulting Issuer and such persons are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for Partner Jet Shareholders in the United States to enforce their rights and any claims they may have arising under the federal securities laws of the United States and effect service of process within the United States upon the Resulting Issuer, its officers, directors and trustee or the experts named herein, or to realize, against them, upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities laws of the United States or "blue sky" laws of any state within the United States. In addition, Partner Jet Shareholders in the United States may not be able to sue a foreign company or its officers or directors in a foreign court for violations of the federal securities laws of the United States. It may be difficult to compel a foreign company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a United States court's judgment. Furthermore, Partner Jet Shareholders in the United States should not assume that the courts of Canada: (a) would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities laws of the United States or "blue sky" laws of any state within the United States; or (b) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities laws of the United States or "blue sky" laws of any state within the United States.

The Resulting Issuer Securities issued to Partner Jet Shareholders will be restricted securities under Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act. Consequently, any resale of the Resulting Issuer Securities is subject to the registration requirement of the U.S. Securities Act unless they are resold under an exemption or exclusion from the U.S. Securities Act. Subject to certain limitations, holders of Resulting Issuer Securities may resell their Resulting Issuer Securities outside the United States without registration under the U.S. Securities Act under Regulation S. Additionally, the U.S. Securities Act imposes restrictions on Resulting Issuer Securities held by "affiliates" of the Resulting Issuer after the Amalgamation or who have been "affiliates" of the Resulting Issuer within 90 days prior to the Amalgamation. Persons who may be deemed to be "affiliates" of an issuer include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, the issuer, and generally include executive officers and directors of the issuer as well as principal shareholders of the issuer. Such affiliates (and former affiliates) may also resell Resulting Issuer Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, if available. However, unless certain conditions are satisfied, Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities of issuers that have had: (i) no or nominal operations; and (ii) no or nominal assets other than cash and cash equivalents.

Additionally, no broker, dealer, salesperson or other person has been authorized to give any information or make any representation other than those contained in this Circular and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Resulting Issuer or Partner Jet.

In accordance with Rule 802, the issuance of securities is not required to be extended to security holders in those states that require registration or qualification.

The foregoing discussion is only a general overview of certain requirements of United States securities laws applicable to the Resulting Issuer Securities. All holders of such securities are urged to consult with legal counsel to ensure that the resale of their securities complies with applicable securities legislation


THE RESULTING ISSUER SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, NOR HAS THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES PASSED ON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

The Transaction

On June 30, 2021, Partner Jet and Volatus entered into the Amalgamation Agreement pursuant to which they will complete the Transaction and Partner Jet and Volatus will amalgamate under the OBCA to form the Resulting Issuer, and the business of the Resulting Issuer will primarily be Volatus' business.

Volatus

Volatus is a private corporation incorporated under the federal laws of Canada. Volatus was formed in 2019 by aviation veterans to become a drone solution provider in North America. Volatus soon identified that the current industry is highly fragmented with no dominant player. Volatus expanded its operations across Canada. Due to the experience of management, Volatus also become a subject matter expert to industry partners and smaller drone companies and soon expanded into the US by building its pilot network that enables it to serve all the segments of the market. 

Principal Steps

The Amalgamation Agreement provides, among other things, that Volatus and Partner Jet shall amalgamate and continue as one corporation and shall cease to exist as entities separate from the Resulting Issuer and that:

(i) each one (1) Volatus Common Share, including the Volatus Common Shares issuable on exchange of the Subscription Receipts and the Volatus Common Shares issuable on conversion of the Bridge Financing Debentures, but excluding Volatus Common Shares held by holders that have validly exercised their dissent rights, shall be exchanged for one (1) Resulting Issuer Common Share;   

(ii) each one (1) Volatus Class A Preferred Share, but excluding Volatus Class A Preferred Shares held by holders that have validly exercised their dissent rights, shall be exchanged for one (1) Resulting Issuer Preferred Share;

(iii) each Partner Jet Share, but excluding Partner Jet Shares held by Volatus or by holders that have validly exercised their dissent rights, shall be exchanged for Resulting Issuer Common Shares at the Exchange Ratio;

(iv) each outstanding Partner Jet Share held by Volatus shall be cancelled without any repayment;

(v) each outstanding Volatus Option that remains outstanding and unexercised as of the time of the Amalgamation, if any, whether or not vested, shall be exchanged for a Replacement Option to purchase one Resulting Issuer Common Share, on the same terms as those contained in the Volatus Option immediately prior to the Amalgamation, including the exercise price, and each such Volatus Option shall be cancelled;


(vi) pursuant to the terms of the Partner Jet Option Plan, each outstanding Partner Jet Option shall be deemed to become a Replacement Option to purchase the corresponding number of Resulting Issuer Common Shares based on the Exchange Ratio, on the same terms, including exercise price, as those contained in the Partner Jet Option immediately prior to the Amalgamation and each such Partner Jet Option shall be cancelled. The exercise price for each Resulting Issuer Common Share underlying each such Replacement Option will be equal to the exercise price per Partner Jet Share under the Partner Jet Option in effect immediately prior to the Amalgamation multiplied by the Exchange Ratio;

(vii) each outstanding Volatus Compensation Warrant shall be exchanged for a Replacement Compensation Warrant to purchase an equal number of Resulting Issuer Common Shares, on the same terms as those contained in the Volatus Compensation Warrant immediately prior to the Amalgamation, including the exercise price, and each such Volatus Compensation Warrant shall be cancelled; and

(viii) each outstanding Bridge Financing Warrant and Volatus SR Warrant shall be exchanged for a Replacement Warrant entitling the holder to purchase an equal number of Resulting Issuer Common Shares, on the same terms as those contained in the applicable Bridge Financing Warrant or Volatus SR Warrant, as applicable, immediately prior to the Amalgamation, including the exercise price, and each such Bridge Financing Warrant and Volatus SR Warrant shall be cancelled.

The current Partner Jet Shareholders (excluding Volatus) are expected to own approximately 1.35% of the Resulting Issuer Common Shares and the Volatus Shareholders, including holders of Volatus Shares issued on conversion of the Subscription Receipts and the Bridge Financing Debentures, will own approximately 88.70% of the Resulting Issuer Common Shares and 100% of the Resulting Issuer Preferred Shares on a fully diluted basis including the full 10% pool under the Resulting Issuer Option Plan. The Transaction constitutes a "reverse takeover" under the policies of the TSXV since the Volatus Shareholders will own a substantial majority of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares.

Completion of the Amalgamation is conditional upon, among other things, receipt of all required regulatory approvals and Partner Jet Shareholder approval of the Acquisition Resolution, the New Option Plan Resolution and the RSU Plan Resolution.

Conditions to the Transaction

The Amalgamation Agreement contains conditions precedent of the parties to the completion of the Transaction. Please see "Matters to be Acted On - Approval of the Amalgamation Agreement - The Amalgamation Agreement - Conditions to the Transaction" for further particulars of the conditions to close the Transaction.

Background to the Transaction

Pursuant to a share exchange agreement dated September 3, 2020, Aligned Two Inc. (formerly FSS Financial Services Inc.) exchanged its beneficial ownership of all of its Partner Jet Shares (being 4,123,760 Partner Jet Shares) for 412,376 Volatus Class A Preferred Shares. Through a written agreement between Volatus and Aligned Two Inc., Ian McDougall retained the voting rights of the Partner Jet Shares held by Volatus.

Various informal discussions were held between Volatus and Partner Jet in early 2021 exploring the potential opportunities and benefits of combining the activities of the two companies. Following these discussions Volatus proposed to initiate a reverse takeover of Partner Jet in accordance with terms to be mutually agreed. A draft letter of intent was circulated and negotiated between the parties and on February 26, 2021, Partner Jet and Volatus entered into a non-binding letter of intent in respect of the Transaction.


Following entering into the non-binding letter of intent in respect of the Transaction, the Partner Jet Board established the Partner Jet Special Committee.

Subsequently, Partner Jet and Volatus negotiated the Exchange Ratio to be incorporated into the Amalgamation Agreement. Using internal valuations prepared by both Partner Jet and Volatus as well as input from Echelon Wealth Partners Inc., Partner Jet and Volatus agreed upon the Exchange Ratio which valued each Partner Jet Share at $0.22. The Partner Jet Special Committee, with the assistance of Kalex Valuations Inc. determined that the Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Partner Jet Shareholders.

Partner Jet Special Committee

Due to the conflict of interest with share ownership and conflicting duties of certain management personnel, the Partner Jet Board established the Partner Jet Special Committee on March 11, 2021, comprising of three independent directors of Partner Jet, being Sam Ingram, Derek Sifton and Richard Gage. The Partner Jet Special Committee was formed to, among other things, review and evaluate the Transaction, oversee and supervise the process carried out by Partner Jet in negotiating and entering into the Amalgamation Agreement, determine an enterprise value of Partner Jet, and to make recommendations to the Partner Jet Board regarding the Amalgamation.

On March 18, 2021, the Partner Jet Special Committee formally retained Kalex Valuations Inc. to provide valuation assistance to the Partner Jet Special Committee in relation to the valuation of Partner Jet. Management was directed to provide Kalex and the Partner Jet Special Committee with access to financial statements, internal revenue projections and models, tax returns, management and material contracts.

The Partner Jet Special Committee met several times, jointly and separately, with Kalex and members of management to discuss current operations, possible new business opportunities, challenges facing Partner Jet and the status of operations and the merits of a business combination with Volatus.

At a meeting of the Partner Jet Board on April 21, 2021, the Partner Jet Special Committee, after consultation with Kalex, advised that it was able to report that it had received an indication of a fair and reasonable value, on a fully diluted basis, of $0.22 per Partner Jet Share. This valuation was based on the asset/book valuation method. The combination of the loss of one managed aircraft contract in Q1 2021 and the loss of an additional managed aircraft contract to take effect in Q2 2021 will significantly affect Partner Jet's operations on a go-forward basis, ultimately reducing aircraft management and charter revenue in the near future which will result in a lower per share value.

The Partner Jet Special Committee accepted this per share value valuation and recommended that the Partner Jet Board accept this value per share noting that the Partner Jet Special Committee was of the opinion that the Transaction should be pursued. The recommendation of the Partner Jet Special Committee was accepted and approved by the Partner Jet Board.

The Partner Jet Special Committee continued in May to review internal business plans and models prepared by Volatus. Subsequently, the Partner Jet Special Committee advised Kalex on May 5, 2021 regarding the potential need for a fairness opinion. Kalex was formally retained to undertake the Fairness Opinion with an engagement letter sent to the Partner Jet Special Committee on June 22, 2021 and executed on June 29, 2021. 


A draft fairness opinion dated June 24, 2021, was reviewed by the Partner Jet Special Committee at its June 27, 2021 meeting along with the drafts of the Transaction Documents.

Kalex prepared and delivered the final Fairness Opinion dated July 2, 2021 to the Partner Jet Special Committee, stating that, in the opinion of Kalex, as of February 28, 2021, the Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Partner Jet Shareholders. The Chair of the Partner Jet Special Committee then finalized the opinion with Kalex once the Transaction Documents were executed.

The Partner Jet Special Committee, having reviewed the terms and provisions of the Amalgamation Agreement, having examined the business plans and projections of the Resulting Issuer, having recognized the difficulties facing Partner Jet in obtaining the required financing to attempt to recover from its downturn in its business revenue in part due to the consequences of Covid 19 pandemic, and having recognized the very competitive nature of the aircraft management and charter business, is of the opinion that it is in the best interests of Partner Jet and its shareholders to have Partner Jet agree to the terms presented by Volatus in the Amalgamation Agreement. A successfully combined company of Partner Jet and Volatus has an opportunity to participate in an exciting and growing segment of the economy thereby giving Partner Jet shareholders the best opportunity to realize a value gain on their common shares. The Fairness Opinion lends support that the Transaction is fair to Partner Jet Shareholders from a financial point of view.

After careful consideration, including a thorough review of, among other things, the factors described under the section titled "Particulars of Matters to be Acted On - Approval of the Amalgamation - Reasons for the Partner Jet Board Recommendation" in this Circular, and having consulted with its legal and financial advisors, the Partner Jet Partner Jet Special Committee unanimously determined that the Transaction is fair to Partner Jet Shareholders, from a financial point of view, and is in the best interests of Partner Jet. 

The Partner Jet Partner Jet Special Committee unanimously recommended that the Partner Jet Board approve the Amalgamation and enter into the Amalgamation Agreement and that the Partner Jet Board recommend that Partner Jet Shareholders vote in favour of the Amalgamation Resolution.

Board Recommendation

The Partner Jet Board, on the recommendation of the Partner Jet Partner Jet Special Committee, has unanimously determined, with Ian A. McDougall abstaining, that the Transaction set forth herein is fair to the Partner Jet Shareholders, from a financial point of view, and in the best interests of Partner Jet. The Partner Jet Board recommends that Partner Jet Shareholders vote in favor of the Amalgamation Resolution, the Proposed Transaction Price Resolution, the New Option Plan Resolution and the RSU Plan Resolution. Please see "Information Concerning the Transaction - Recommendations of the Partner Jet Special Committee and Boards".

Reasons for the Partner Jet Board and Partner Jet Special Committee Recommendation

In evaluating and approving the Amalgamation and in making its determinations and recommendations, the Partner Jet Special Committee and the Partner Jet Board gave careful consideration to the expected future position of the business of Partner Jet and all of the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement. The Partner Jet Special Committee and the Partner Jet Board considered a number of factors including, without limitation:

 Uncertain Future Competitive Position. Partner Jet has been operating in an extremely competitive environment in the Greater Toronto Area, competing against nine other business aircraft operators in a mature market. The situation has been further impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic with aircraft owners and charter flying activity significantly reduced. As the industry slowly recovers from the pandemic, Partner Jet's ability to return to pre-pandemic flight levels will be strained with current working capital levels. The 2021 financial year end results are forecast to remain negative. As a result, the ability of Partner Jet to deliver value to Partner Jet Shareholders would be subject to significant uncertainties affecting Partner Jet's business and risks, including operational, financing, market and general economic risks.             


 Participation by Partner Jet Shareholders in Future Growth of the Combined Company. Partner Jet Shareholders will receive Resulting Issuer Common Shares under the Amalgamation and will have the opportunity to participate in any future increase in value of the Resulting Issuer. The Partner Jet Special Committee and Partner Jet Board anticipate that future growth in drone services will provide greater growth potential compared to Partner Jet's traditional business activities in business aircraft aviation. 

 Evaluation and Analysis. The Partner Jet Special Committee and the Partner Jet Board has given consideration to the business, operations, assets and prospects for the Resulting Issuer. Given the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the highly competitive environment in the GTA for managed aircraft and charter services, Partner Jet's ability to maintain its current business base, let alone future growth, will be very challenging without a significant financial investment. The financial performance of Partner Jet during the last fiscal year and year-to-date is expected to continue on a downward trend. 

 Fairness Opinion: The Partner Jet Special Committee received the Fairness Opinion from Kalex to the effect that as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the limitations, qualifications, assumptions and other matters set out therein, the Exchange Ratio pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Partner Jet Shareholders. See "Information Concerning the Transaction -Fairness Opinion" and Schedule "1" to this Circular.

 Shareholders' Approval. The required Partner Jet Shareholders' approvals are protective of the rights of Partner Jet Shareholders. The Amalgamation Resolution must be approved by at least 66⅔% of the votes cast by Partner Jet Shareholders at the Partner Jet Meeting and by at least a majority of the votes cast on the Amalgamation Resolution by the Minority Partner Jet Shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Partner Jet Meeting (excluding the votes cast in respect to Partner Jet Shares held by Volatus and any other interested party, related party or joint actor of Partner Jet in accordance with the minority approval requirements of MI 61-101)

 Dissent Rights. Registered Partner Jet Shareholders who do not vote in favour of the Amalgamation will have the right to require a judicial appraisal of their Partner Jet Shares and obtain "fair value" pursuant to the proper exercise of the Dissent Rights.

The reasons of the Partner Jet Special Committee and the Partner Jet Board for recommending the Amalgamation include certain assumptions relating to forward-looking information, and such information and assumptions are subject to various risks. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information" and "Risk Factors" in this Circular.

Fairness Opinion

In deciding to approve the Amalgamation Agreement and the terms of the Transaction, the Partner Jet Board considered, among other things, the Fairness Opinion. The Fairness Opinion concludes that, as of February 28, 2021 and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set out therein, the Exchange Ratio is fair to the Partner Jet Shareholders from a financial point of view. The complete text of the Fairness Opinion, which sets forth certain assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached to this Circular as Schedule "1". The Fairness Opinion is not and should not be construed as a valuation of Partner Jet or Volatus or their respective assets or securities. Partner Jet Shareholders are urged to read the Fairness Opinion in its entirety. See "Information Concerning the Transaction - Fairness Opinion" for further information.


Related Party Transaction

The Transaction constitutes a Related Party Transaction for Partner Jet within the meaning of MI 61-101. Pursuant to MI 61-101, if a transaction is a Related Party Transaction, a formal valuation and Minority Approval of the Transaction may be required. The Partner Jet Special Committee was formed on March 11, 2021 for the purposes of reviewing the Transaction and Amalgamation Agreement and making recommendations to the Partner Jet Board, and also to consider the application of MI 61-101.

As Partner Jet is listed on the TSXV and no other stock exchange outside of Canada and the United States, MI 61-101 provides an exemption to the general requirement to obtain a valuation for a transaction that is a Related Party Transaction. However, the Partner Jet Board has been obtained the Fairness Opinion by Kalex dated July 3, 2021. The complete text of the Fairness Opinion, which sets forth certain assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached to this Circular as Schedule "1".

Partner Jet has not received bona fide offers from other parties during the 24 months prior to the LOI.

MI 61-101 and the policies of the TSXV require that Partner Jet obtain Minority Approval for the Amalgamation from holders of every class of affected securities, in each case voting separately. The only outstanding classes of affected securities of Partner Jet are the Partner Jet Shares. As a result, at the Partner Jet Meeting, Partner Jet shall seek the approval to the Amalgamation Resolution from a majority of the votes cast by the Minority Partner Jet Shareholders.

In determining what constitutes Minority Approval for a Related Party Transaction, Partner Jet must exclude the votes attached to affected securities, that to the knowledge of Partner Jet or its directors and officers, after reasonable inquiry, are beneficially owned or over which control or direction is exercised by (a) Partner Jet, (b) an Interested Party (c) a Related Party of an Interested Party or (d) a joint actor with a person referred to in (b) or (c) above. Partner Jet must also exclude the votes attached to Partner Jet Shares held by any directors or officers of Partner Jet or any other Related Parties receiving a Collateral Benefit (as defined in MI 61-101) as a result of the Transaction.

Partner Jet has determined that the votes attached to 4,123,760 Partner Jet Shares held by Volatus must be excluded from voting on the Amalgamation Resolution, which must be approved by a majority of the Minority Shareholders voting in person or by proxy at the Meeting. Please "Information Concerning the Transaction - Application of MI 61-101".

The Transaction is not subject to MI 61-101 for Volatus as it is not a reporting issuer.

Dissent Rights

The OBCA provides that each Registered Partner Jet Shareholder will have Dissent Rights with respect to the Amalgamation and, if the Amalgamation becomes effective, to have such holder's Dissenting Shares cancelled in exchange for cash payment from the Resulting Issuer equal to the fair value of such holder's Dissenting Shares as of the day of the Meeting. Registered Partner Jet Shareholders who wish to exercise their Dissent Rights must: (a) deliver a written notice of dissent to the Amalgamation Resolution to Partner Jet, by mail to: Partner Jet Corp., Attention: Luc Masse, President & Chief Executive Officer, 2450  Derry  Road  East,  Hangar  #9,  Mississauga, Ontario L5S 1B2, or by email to lmasse@partnerjet.com , in either case by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on December 10, 2021, or the Business Day immediately preceding any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting; (b) not have voted in favour of the Amalgamation Resolution; and (c) otherwise have complied with the provisions of Section 185 of the OBCA. In addition to any other restrictions under Section 185 of the OBCA, Non-Registered Partner Jet Shareholders and holders of securities convertible for Partner Jet Shares (including Partner Jet Options) are not entitled to exercise Dissent Rights.


A registered Partner Jet Shareholder's failure to strictly comply with the procedures set forth in Section 185 of the OBCA will result in the loss of such Registered Partner Jet Shareholder's Dissent Rights. It is very important that you strictly comply with these requirements if you wish to dissent.

It is a condition of the Transaction that holders of not more than 5% of the Partner Jet Shares shall have exercised their Dissent Rights. See "Particulars of Matters to be Acted On - Approval of the Amalgamation - Dissent Rights".

Volatus Financing

On June 30, 2021, Volatus issued 14,051,932 Subscription Receipts at a price of $0.65 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of $9,133,755.80.  Each Subscription Receipt will automatically convert, for no additional consideration, into one unit of Volatus (a "Unit") upon the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, including, among others, the completion or waiver of all conditions precedent to the completion of the Amalgamation and the receipt of shareholder and regulatory approvals required for the completion of the Amalgamation (the "Escrow Release Conditions").

The Resulting Issuer intends to spend the available funds for the principal purposes as indicated above. Revenues and accounts receivable received in the months following completion of the Transaction may also provide the Resulting Issuer with additional cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there may also be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be necessary for the Resulting Issuer to achieve these objectives. The Resulting Issuer may require additional funds in order to fulfill all of the Resulting Issuer's expenditure requirements to meet its objectives, in which case the Resulting Issuer expects to either issue additional shares or incur indebtedness. See also "Risk Factors". There is no assurance that additional funding required by the Resulting Issuer would be available if required. However, it is anticipated that the available funds will be sufficient to satisfy the Resulting Issuer's objectives over the next 12 months and that during this period of time, adequate cash flow will be generated to assist the Resulting Issuer in pursuing its objectives.


Dividend Record and Policy

The Resulting Issuer does not currently intend to pay any cash dividends or distributions on the Resulting Issuer Shares in the foreseeable future and therefore holders of Resulting Issuer Shares may not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. The Resulting Issuer's policy will be to retain earnings to reinvest in the Resulting Issuer.

The Resulting Issuer's dividend policy will be reviewed from time to time by the Resulting Issuer Board in the context of its earnings, financial condition and other relevant factors. Until the Resulting Issuer pays dividends on the Resulting Issuer Shares, which it may never do, its shareholders will not be able to receive a return on the Resulting Issuer Shares unless they sell them.

Date, Time and Place of the Meeting

This Circular and the accompanying form of proxy are furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by management of the Corporation for use at the Meeting to be held at 60 Airport Road, Oro Medonte, ON L0L 2E0, Canada on December 14, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time), and at any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Solicitation of Proxies

This Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation by or on behalf of management of Partner Jet of proxies to be used at the Meeting and at any adjournment thereof for the purposes set forth in the enclosed Notice of Meeting. Proxies will be solicited primarily by mail, solicited personally solicited by a third-party, by telephone or by any form of electronic communication by directors, officers or the regular employees of Partner Jet at nominal or no cost. The costs of solicitation by management or by a third-party will be borne by Partner Jet.

This Notice of Meeting and the accompanying Circular and form of proxy (collectively the "Meeting Materials") are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of Partner Jet Shares in accordance with National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issues ("NI 54-101") and arrangements have been made with clearing agencies, brokerage houses and other financial intermediaries to deliver proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the Partner Jet Shares. Partner Jet may pay the reasonable costs incurred by such persons in connection with such delivery. The Meeting Materials are also available under Partner Jet's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

If you are a non-registered holder of Partner Jet Shares, and Partner Jet or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of Partner Jet Shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities laws from the Intermediary (as defined below) holding the Partner Jet Shares on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, Partner Jet (and not the Intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for: (i) delivering these materials to you; and (ii) executing proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions or form of proxy delivered to you.

Shareholders Entitled to Vote

Registered Partner Jet Shareholders as at the close of business on the Record Date, or the person or persons they appoint as their proxies, are entitled to attend and vote on all matters that may properly come before the Meeting in respect of which their vote is required. Registered Partner Jet Shareholders are entitled to vote at the Meeting either in person or by proxy. Voting by proxy means that you are giving the person or persons named on your proxy form (your proxyholder) the authority to vote your Partner Jet Shares for you at the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.

Each Partner Jet Shareholder of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote for each Partner Jet Share held with respect to all matters proposed to come before the Meeting and requiring a vote by Partner Jet Shareholders.


Appointment of Proxyholders and Revocation of Proxies

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will represent management of Partner Jet at the Meeting. A shareholder has the right to appoint a person or company (who need not be a Partner Jet Shareholder), other than the persons designated in the accompanying form of proxy, to represent the shareholder at the Meeting. Such right may be exercised by inserting the name of such person or company in the blank space provided in the proxy or by completing another proper form of proxy. A shareholder wishing to be represented by proxy at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof must, in all cases, deposit the completed proxy with TSX Trust Company (301-100 Adelaide Street W, Toronto, Ontario M5H 1S3) (the "Transfer Agent") by 10:00 a.m. (Toronto Time) on December 10, 2021 or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, at least 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, prior to any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting at which the proxy is to be used. A proxy should be executed by the shareholder or its attorney duly authorized in writing or, if the shareholder is a corporation, by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized. Failure to properly complete or deposit a proxy may result in its invalidation.

A registered shareholder who has submitted a proxy may revoke it at any time prior to the exercise thereof. If a registered shareholder who has given a proxy attends the Meeting in person at which such proxy is to be voted, such person may revoke the proxy and vote in person. In addition to any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked before it is exercised by an instrument in writing executed in the same manner as a proxy and deposited to the attention of the secretary of Partner Jet at the registered office of Partner Jet at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, at which the proxy is to be used or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of such Meeting or any adjournment thereof and thereupon the proxy is revoked.

A shareholder attending the Meeting has the right to vote in person and, if he or she does so, his or her proxy is nullified with respect to the matters such person votes upon and any subsequent matters thereafter to be voted upon at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

If you are a Beneficial Shareholder (as defined below), please contact your Intermediary for instructions on how to revoke your voting instructions.

Exercise of Discretion

Partner Jet Shares represented by proxies in favour of management nominees will be voted in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and, if a shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting, the shares represented by proxy shall be voted accordingly. Where no choice is specified, the proxy will confer discretionary authority and will be voted FOR all matters proposed by management at the Meeting. The enclosed form of proxy also confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein to vote with respect to any amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice and with respect to any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting in such manner as the nominee in his judgment may determine. At the date hereof, management of Partner Jet knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

Advice to Beneficial Shareholders of Partner Jet Shares

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Partner Jet Shareholders as a substantial number of Partner Jet Shareholders do not hold their Partner Jet Shares in their own name and thus are considered non-registered Partner Jet Shareholders. Partner Jet Shareholders who do not hold their Partner Jet Shares in their own name ("Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only proxies deposited by Partner Jet Shareholders whose names appear on the records of Partner Jet as the registered holders of Partner Jet Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Partner Jet Shares are listed in an account statement provided to Partner Jet Shareholders by a broker then, in almost all cases, those shares will not be registered in the shareholder's name on the records of Partner Jet. Such Partner Jet Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker or another similar entity (an "Intermediary"). Partner Jet Shares held by an Intermediary can only be voted by the Intermediary (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, Intermediaries are prohibited from voting shares.


Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Partner Jet Shares are communicated in a timely manner and in accordance with the instructions provided by their Intermediary. Applicable regulatory rules require Intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of the Meeting. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which instructions should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Partner Jet Shares are voted at the Meeting.

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purpose of voting Partner Jet Shares registered in the name of their Intermediary, a Beneficial Shareholder may attend at the Meeting as proxyholder for the Intermediary and vote the Partner Jet Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Partner Jet Shares as a proxyholder, should enter their own names in the blank space on the form of proxy provided to them by their Intermediary and return the same to their Intermediary in accordance with the instructions provided by their Intermediary well in advance of the Meeting.

Record Date

The date fixed by the Partner Jet Board for determining registered Partner Jet Shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting is November 15, 2021 (the "Record Date").

Quorum

The presence of two or more Partner Jet Shareholders or proxyholders entitled to cast votes at the Meeting will constitute a quorum. Partner Jet's list of shareholders as of the Record Date has been used to deliver to shareholders the Notice of Meeting and this Circular as well as to determine who is eligible to vote.

Voting Securities and Principal Holders of Voting Securities

The authorized share capital of Partner Jet consists of an unlimited number of Partner Jet Shares without par value. As at the Record Date and the date hereof, 9,078,774 Partner Jet Shares are issued and outstanding, each of which carries the right to one vote on all matters that may come before the Meeting.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED ON

TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF PARTNER JET'S DIRECTORS, THE ONLY MATTERS TO BE PLACED BEFORE THE MEETING ARE THOSE REFERRED TO IN THE NOTICE OF MEETING ACCOMPANYING THIS INFORMATION CIRCULAR. HOWEVER, SHOULD ANY OTHER MATTERS PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE MEETING, THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXY SOLICITED HEREBY WILL BE VOTED ON SUCH MATTERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BEST JUDGMENT OF THE PERSONS VOTING THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXY

1. Approval of the Amalgamation

Partner Jet and Volatus have entered into the Amalgamation Agreement providing for the completion of the Transaction. At the Meeting, in accordance with the requirements of the policies of the TSXV, Partner Jet Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if thought fit, to pass with or without variation, as a special resolution of Partner Jet Shareholders, the Amalgamation Resolution set forth in Appendix "A" hereto, authorizing, confirming and approving the Amalgamation. The Amalgamation Resolution must also receive Minority Approval.

Overview of the Amalgamation

The parties to the Transaction are Partner Jet and Volatus. The Transaction is a Non-Arm's Length Transaction for the purposes of the policies of the TSXV and a Related Party Transaction for the purposes of MI 61-101 as Volatus holds 45.42% of the issued and outstanding Partner Jet Shares on a non-diluted basis. The Transaction will result in reverse takeover of Partner Jet by Volatus under the policies of the TSXV, since Volatus Shareholders will own a substantial majority of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares. Upon completion of the Transaction and after taking into account the Volatus Financing, of the total issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Common Shares, current Partner Jet Shareholders (excluding Volatus) are expected to own approximately 1.35% of the Resulting Issuer Common Shares, and the Volatus Shareholders, including holders of Volatus Common Shares issued on conversion of the Subscription Receipts and the Bridge Financing Debentures, will own approximately 88.65% of the Resulting Issuer Common Shares and 100% of the Resulting Issuer Preferred Shares, on a fully diluted basis including the full 10% pool under the Resulting Issuer Option Plan.

Principal Steps of the Transaction

The Amalgamation Agreement provides, among other things, that Volatus and Partner Jet shall amalgamate and continue as one corporation and shall cease to exist as entities separate from the Resulting Issuer and that:

(a) each one (1) Volatus Common Share, including the Volatus Common Shares issuable on exchange of the Subscription Receipts and the Volatus Common Shares issuable on conversion of the Bridge Financing Debentures, but excluding Volatus Common Shares held by holders that have validly exercised their dissent rights, shall be exchanged for one (1) Resulting Issuer Common Share; 

(b) each one (1) Volatus Class A Preferred Share, but excluding Volatus Class A Preferred Shares held by holders that have validly exercised their dissent rights, shall be exchanged for one (1) Resulting Issuer Preferred Share;


(c) each Partner Jet Share, but excluding Partner Jet Shares held by Volatus or by holders that have validly exercised their dissent rights, shall be exchanged for Resulting Issuer Common Shares at the Exchange Ratio;

(d) each outstanding Partner Jet Share held by Volatus shall be cancelled without any repayment;

(e) each outstanding Volatus Option that remains outstanding and unexercised as of the time of the Amalgamation, if any, shall be exchanged for a Replacement Option to purchase one Resulting Issuer Common Share, on the same terms as those contained in the Volatus Option immediately prior to the Amalgamation, including the exercise price, and each such Volatus Option shall be cancelled;

(f) pursuant to the terms of the Partner Jet Option Plan, each outstanding Partner Jet Option shall be deemed to become a Replacement Option to purchase the corresponding number of Resulting Issuer Common Shares based on the Exchange Ratio, on the same terms, including exercise price, as those contained in the Partner Jet Option immediately prior to the Amalgamation and each such Partner Jet Option shall be cancelled.  The exercise price for each Resulting Issuer Common Share underlying each such Replacement Option will be equal to the exercise price per Partner Jet Share under the Partner Jet Option in effect immediately prior to the Amalgamation multiplied by the Exchange Ratio;

(g) each outstanding Volatus Compensation Warrant shall be exchanged for a Replacement Compensation Warrant to purchase an equal number of Resulting Issuer Common Shares, on the same terms as those contained in the Volatus Compensation Warrant immediately prior to the Amalgamation, including the exercise price, and each such Volatus Compensation Warrant shall be cancelled; and

(h) each outstanding Bridge Financing Warrant and Volatus SR Warrant shall be exchanged for a Replacement Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase an equal number of Resulting Issuer Common Shares, on the same terms as those contained in the applicable Bridge Financing Warrant or Volatus SR Warrant immediately prior to the Amalgamation, including the exercise price, and each such Bridge Financing Warrant and Volatus SR Warrant shall be cancelled.

Prior to the completion of the Amalgamation, Volatus will complete the Volatus Continuance.

The Amalgamation Agreement

The Transaction will be effected in accordance with the Amalgamation Agreement, a copy of which has been filed under Partner Jet's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com as a material document and a copy of which is attached as Appendix "A" to this Circular. The description of the Amalgamation Agreement, both below and elsewhere in this Circular is a summary only, is not exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Representations and Warranties

The Amalgamation Agreement contains representations and warranties made by each of Partner Jet and Volatus. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are solely for the purposes of the Amalgamation Agreement and may be subject to important qualifications, limitations and exceptions agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating its terms and as set out in the disclosure letters delivered in connection with the Amalgamation Agreement. Certain representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date because they are qualified by certain disclosure provided by the Parties or are subject to a standard of materiality or are qualified by a reference to the concept of a "Material Adverse Event" (which concept is defined in the Amalgamation Agreement and in some respects are different from the materiality standards generally applicable under securities laws).

Background of the Amalgamation 

Pursuant to a share exchange agreement dated September 3, 2020, Aligned Two Inc. (formerly FSS Financial Services Inc.) exchanged its beneficial ownership of all of its Partner Jet Shares (being 4,123,760 Partner Jet Shares) for 412,376 Volatus Class A Preferred Shares. Through a written agreement between Volatus and Aligned Two Inc., Ian McDougall retained the voting rights of the Partner Jet Shares held by Volatus.

Various informal discussions were held between Volatus and Partner Jet in early 2021 exploring the potential opportunities and benefits of combining the activities of the two companies. Following these discussions Volatus proposed to initiate a reverse takeover of Partner Jet in accordance with terms to be mutually agreed upon between the parties. A draft letter of intent was circulated and negotiated between the parties and on February 26, 2021, Partner Jet and Volatus entered into a non-binding letter of intent in respect of the Transaction.

The Exchange Ratio to be incorporated in the Amalgamation Agreement was negotiated utilizing internal valuations prepared by both Partner Jet and Volatus as well as input from Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. Partner Jet and Volatus agreed upon the Exchange Ratio which valued each Partner Jet Share at $0.22. The Partner Jet Special Committee, with the help of Kalex Valuations Inc., examined the transaction and concluded that the valuation was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Partner Jet Shareholders.

Partner Jet Special Committee

Due to the conflict of interest with share ownership and conflicting duties of certain management personnel, the Partner Jet Board established the Partner Jet Special Committee on March 11, 2021, made up of three independent directors of Partner Jet, being Samuel Ingram, Derek Sifton and Richard Gage. The Partner Jet Special Committee was formed to, among other things, review and evaluate the Transaction, oversee and supervise the process carried out by Partner Jet in negotiating and entering into the Amalgamation Agreement, determine an enterprise value of Partner Jet, and to make recommendations to the Partner Jet Board regarding the Amalgamation.

On March 18, 2021, the Partner Jet Special Committee formally retained Kalex Valuations Inc. ("Kalex") to provide valuation assistance to the Partner Jet Special Committee in relation to the valuation of Partner Jet. Management was directed to provide Kalex and the Partner Jet Special Committee with access to financial statements, internal revenue projections and models, tax returns, management and material contracts.

The Special Committee met several times with Kalex and members of management to discuss current operations, possible new business opportunities, challenges facing Partner Jet and the status of operations and the merits of a business combination with Volatus.

At a meeting of the Partner Jet Board on April 21, 2021, the Partner Jet Special Committee, after consultation with Kalex, advised that it was able to report that it had received an indication of a fair and reasonable value, on a fully diluted basis, of $0.22 per Partner Jet Share. This valuation was based on the asset/book valuation method. The combination of the loss of one managed aircraft contract in Q1 2021 and the loss of an additional managed aircraft contract to take effect in Q2 2021 will significantly affect Partner Jet's operations on a go-forward basis, ultimately reducing aircraft management and charter revenue in the near future which will result in a lower per share value.

The Partner Jet Special Committee accepted this per share value valuation and recommended that the Partner Jet Board accept this value per share noting that the Partner Jet Special Committee was of the opinion that the Transaction should be pursued. The report of the Partner Jet Special Committee was accepted and approved by the Partner Jet Board.


In May 2021, the Partner Jet Special Committee continued to review internal business plans and models prepared by Volatus. Subsequently, the Partner Jet Special Committee asked Kalex on May 5, 2021 to prepare a fairness opinion for the proposed transaction with Volatus. Kalex was formally retained to undertake the Fairness Opinion with an engagement letter sent to the Partner Jet Special Committee on June 22, 2021 and executed on June 29, 2021.

A draft fairness opinion dated June 24, 2021, was reviewed by the Partner Jet Special Committee at it's June 27, 2021 meeting along with drafts of the Transaction Documents.

The Partner Jet Special Committee approved the draft Fairness Opinion and authorized the Chair of the Partner Jet Special Committee to finalize the opinion with Kalex once the Transaction Documents were executed.

The Partner Jet Special Committee, having reviewed the terms and provisions of the Amalgamation Agreement, having examined the business plans and projections of the Resulting Issuer, having recognized the difficulties facing Partner Jet in obtaining the required financing to attempt to recover from its downturn in its business revenue in part due to the consequences of COVID-19 pandemic, and having recognized the very competitive nature of the aircraft management and charter business, is of the opinion that it is in the best interests of Partner Jet and its shareholders to have Partner Jet agree to the terms set out in the Amalgamation Agreement. A successfully combined company of Partner Jet and Volatus has an opportunity to participate in an exciting and growing segment of the economy thereby giving Partner Jet shareholders the best opportunity to enhance the value gain on their common shares. The Kalex fairness opinion also concluded that the Transaction is fair to Partner Jet Shareholders from a financial point of view.

After careful consideration, including a thorough review of, among other things, the factors described under the section titled "Particulars of Matters to be Acted On - Approval of the Amalgamation - Reasons for the Partner Jet Board Recommendation" in this Circular, and having consulted with its legal and financial advisors, the Partner Jet Special Committee unanimously determined that the Transaction is fair to Partner

Jet Shareholders, from a financial point of view, and is in the best interests of Partner Jet.

The Partner Jet Special Committee unanimously recommended that the Partner Jet Board approve the Amalgamation and enter into the Amalgamation Agreement and that the Partner Jet Board recommend that Partner Jet Shareholders vote in favour of the Amalgamation Resolution.

Fairness Opinion

In deciding to approve the Amalgamation Agreement and the terms of the Transaction, the Partner Jet Board considered, among other things, the Fairness Opinion. The Fairness Opinion concludes that, subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set out therein, the Exchange Ratio proposed under the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Partner Jet Shareholders. The complete text of the Fairness Opinion, which sets forth certain assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached to this Circular as Schedule "1". The Fairness Opinion is not and should not be construed as a valuation of Partner Jet or Volatus or their respective assets or securities. Partner Jet Shareholders are urged to read the Fairness Opinion in its entirety. See "Information Concerning the Transaction - Fairness Opinion" for further information.


Recommendation of the Partner Jet Special Committee

The Partner Jet Special Committee was formed to review and evaluate the Amalgamation, oversee and supervise the process carried out by Partner Jet in negotiating and entering into the Amalgamation Agreement and to make recommendations to the Partner Jet Board regarding the Amalgamation.

After careful consideration, including a thorough review of, among other things, the factors described below in the section titled "Reasons for the Partner Jet Board Recommendation", and having consulted with its legal and financial advisors, the Partner Jet Special Committee unanimously determined that the Amalgamation is fair to Partner Jet Shareholders, from a financial point of view, and is in the best interests of Partner Jet.

The Partner Jet Special Committee unanimously recommended that the Partner Jet Board approve the Amalgamation and the Amalgamation Agreement and that the Partner Jet Board recommend that Partner Jet Shareholders vote in favour of the Amalgamation Resolution.

Recommendation of the Partner Jet Board

Acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Partner Jet Special Committee, and after considering, among other things, the factors described in the below section titled "Reasons for the Partner Jet Board Recommendation", the Partner Jet Board has unanimously determined that the Amalgamation is fair to Partner Jet Shareholders, from a financial point of view, and is in the best interests of Partner Jet.

Accordingly, the Partner Jet Board has approved the transactions contemplated by the Amalgamation Agreement and unanimously recommends with Ian A. McDougal abstaining, that Partner Jet Shareholders vote FOR the Amalgamation Resolution.

Reasons for Partner Jet Board and Partner Jet Special Committee Recommendation

In evaluating and approving the Amalgamation and in making its determinations and recommendations, the Partner Jet Special Committee and the Partner Jet Board gave careful consideration to the expected future position of the business of Partner Jet and all of the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement. The Partner Jet Special Committee and the Partner Jet Board considered a number of factors including, without limitation: the Partner Jet Special Committee and Partner Jet Board anticipate that future growth in drone services will provide greater growth potential compared to Partner Jet's traditional business activities in business aircraft aviation.

The Partner Jet Board, on the recommendation of the Partner Jet Special Committee, has unanimously determined, with Ian A. McDougall abstaining, that the Transactions set forth herein are fair to the Partner Jet Shareholders and in the best interests of the Partner Jet Shareholders. The Partner Jet Board recommends that Partner Jet Shareholders vote in favor of the Amalgamation Resolution and the adoption of each of the New Option Plan and the RSU Plan. Please see "Information Concerning the Transaction - Recommendations of the Partner Jet Special Committee and Boards".

Reasons for the Partner Jet Board and Partner Jet Special Committee Recommendation

In evaluating and approving the Amalgamation and in making its determinations and recommendations, the Partner Jet Special Committee and the Partner Jet Board gave careful consideration to the expected future position of the business of Partner Jet and all of the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement. The Partner Jet Special Committee and the Partner Jet Board considered a number of factors including, without limitation:


 Uncertain Future Competitive Position. Partner Jet has been operating in an extremely competitive environment in the Greater Toronto Area, competing against nine other business aircraft operators in a mature market. The situation has been further impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic with aircraft owners and charter flying activity significantly reduced. As the industry slowly recovers from the pandemic, Partner Jet's ability to return to pre-pandemic flight levels will be strained with current working capital levels. The 2021 financial year end results are forecast to remain negative. As a result, the ability of Partner Jet to deliver value to Partner Jet Shareholders comparable to the alternative under the Amalgamation through the ongoing development of the business would be subject to significant uncertainties affecting Partner Jet's business and risks, including operational, financing, market and general economic risks.             

 Participation by Partner Jet Shareholders in Future Growth of the Combined Company. Partner Jet Shareholders will receive Resulting Issuer Common Shares under the Amalgamation and will have the opportunity to participate in any future increase in value of the Resulting Issuer. The Partner Jet Special Committee and Partner Jet Board anticipate that future growth in drone services will provide greater growth potential compared to Partner Jet's traditional business activities in business aircraft aviation. 

 Evaluation and Analysis. The Partner Jet Special Committee and the Partner Jet Board has given consideration to the business, operations, assets and prospects for the Resulting Issuer. Given the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the highly competitive environment in the GTA for managed aircraft and charter services, Partner Jet's ability to maintain its current business base, let alone future growth, will be very challenging without a significant financial investment. The financial performance of Partner Jet during the last fiscal year and year-to-date is expected to continue on a downward trend. 

 Fairness Opinion. The Partner Jet Special Committee received the Fairness Opinion from Kalex to the effect that as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the limitations, qualifications, assumptions and other matters set out therein, the Exchange Ratio pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Partner Jet Shareholders. See "Information Concerning the Transaction -Fairness Opinion" and Schedule "1" to this Circular.

Shareholders' Approval. The required Partner Jet Shareholders' approvals are protective of the rights of Partner Jet Shareholders. The Amalgamation Resolution must be approved by at least 66⅔% of the votes cast by Partner Jet Shareholders at the Partner Jet Meeting and by at least a majority of the votes cast on the Amalgamation Resolution by the Minority Partner Jet Shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Partner Jet Meeting (excluding the votes cast in respect to Partner Jet Shares held by Volatus and any other interested party, related party or joint actor of Partner Jet in accordance with the minority approval requirements of MI 61-101)

 Dissent Rights. Registered Partner Jet Shareholders who do not vote in favour of the Amalgamation will have the right to require a judicial appraisal of their Partner Jet Shares and obtain "fair value" pursuant to the proper exercise of the Dissent Rights.

The reasons of the Partner Jet Special Committee and the Partner Jet Board for recommending the Amalgamation include certain assumptions relating to forward-looking information, and such information and assumptions are subject to various risks. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information" and "Risk Factors" in this Circular.


Application of MI 61-101

Partner Jet is subject to the requirements of MI 61-101, which regulates transactions which raise the potential for conflicts of interest, including issuer bids, insider bids, related party transactions and business combinations. MI 61-101 is intended to ensure the protection and fair treatment of minority shareholders. MI 61-101 regulates certain transactions to ensure equality of treatment among securityholders, generally requiring enhanced disclosure, approval by a majority of securityholders excluding interested parties or related parties, independent valuations and, in certain instances, approval and oversight of the transaction by a special committee of independent directors. The protections of MI 61-101 generally apply to transactions that terminate the interests of securityholders without their consent. MI 61-101 provides that, in certain circumstances, where a "related party" of an issuer (as defined in MI 61-101 and including directors, executive officers and shareholders holding over 10% of outstanding voting shares of the issuer) is entitled to receive a "collateral benefit" (as defined in MI 61-101) in connection with an arrangement (such as the Amalgamation), such transaction may be considered a "business combination" for the purposes of MI 61-101 and be subject to requirements that the issuer obtain minority approval of the transaction and provide a formal valuation, subject to the availability of exemptions in certain circumstances.

The Transaction constitutes a Related Party Transaction for Partner Jet within the meaning of MI 61-101. Pursuant to MI 61-101, if a transaction is a Related Party Transaction, a formal valuation and Minority Approval of the Transaction may be required. The Partner Jet Special Committee was formed on March 11, 2021 for the purposes of reviewing the Transaction and Amalgamation Agreement and making recommendations to the Partner Jet Board, and also to consider the application of MI 61-101.

As Partner Jet is listed on the TSXV and no other stock exchange outside of Canada and the United States, MI 61-101 provides an exemption to the general requirement to obtain a valuation for a transaction that is a Related Party Transaction. Kalex has provided the Special Committee with a Fairness Opinion dated July 2, 2021. The complete text of the Fairness Opinion, which sets forth certain assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached to this Circular as Schedule "1".

Partner Jet has not received bona fide offers from other parties during the 24 months prior to the LOI.

MI 61-101 and the policies of the TSXV require that Partner Jet obtain Minority Approval for the Amalgamation from holders of every class of affected securities, in each case voting separately. The only outstanding classes of affected securities of Partner Jet are the Partner Jet Shares. As a result, at the Partner Jet Meeting, Partner Jet shall seek the approval to the Amalgamation Resolution from a majority of the votes cast by the Minority Partner Jet Shareholders.

In determining what constitutes Minority Approval for a Related Party Transaction, Partner Jet must exclude the votes attached to affected securities, that to the knowledge of Partner Jet or its directors and officers, after reasonable inquiry, are beneficially owned or over which control or direction is exercised by (a) Partner Jet, (b) an Interested Party (c) a Related Party of an Interested Party or (d) a joint actor with a person referred to in (b) or (c) above.

Partner Jet must also exclude the votes attached to Partner Jet Shares held by any directors or officers of Partner Jet or any other Related Parties receiving a Collateral Benefit (as defined in MI 61-101) as a result of the Transaction. A Collateral Benefit (as defined in MI 61-101) includes any benefit that a related party of Partner Jet is entitled to receive, directly or indirectly, as a consequence of the Amalgamation, including without limitation, an increase in salary, a lump sum payment, a payment for surrendering securities, or other enhancement in benefits related to services as an employee, director or consultant of Partner Jet. MI 61-101 excludes from the meaning of Collateral Benefit a payment per security that is identical in amount and form to the entitlement of the general body of holders in Canada of securities of the same class, as well as certain benefits to a related party received solely in connection with the related party's services as an employee or director of an issuer, of an affiliated entity of such issuer or of a successor to the business of such issuer where (a) the benefit is not conferred for the purpose, in whole or in part, of increasing the value of the consideration paid to the related party for securities relinquished under the transaction; (b) the conferring of the benefit is not, by its terms, conditional on the related party supporting the transaction in any manner; (c) full particulars of the benefit are disclosed in the disclosure document for the transaction; and (d) either (i) at the time of the transaction the related party and his or her associated entities beneficially own, or exercise control or direction over, less than one percent of the outstanding securities of each class of equity securities of the issuer, or (ii) the related party discloses to an independent committee of the issuer the amount of consideration that he or she expects to be beneficially entitled to receive, under the terms of the transaction, in exchange for the equity securities he or she beneficially owns and the independent committee acting in good faith determines that the value of the benefit, net of any offsetting costs to the related party, is less than five percent of the value of the consideration the related party will receive pursuant to the terms of the transaction for the equity securities it beneficially owns, and the independent committee's determination is disclosed in the disclosure document for the transaction.


The directors and officers of Partner Jet may have interests in the Amalgamation that are, or may be, different from, or in addition to, the interests of other Partner Jet securityholders. These interests include those described below. The Partner Jet Special Committee and the Partner Jet Board are aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, when recommending approval of the Amalgamation by Partner Jet Shareholders

Partner Jet has determined that the votes attached to 4,123,760 Partner Jet Shares held by Volatus must be excluded from voting on the Amalgamation Resolution, which must be approved by a majority of the Minority Shareholders voting in person or by proxy at the Meeting. Please "Information Concerning the Transaction - Application of MI 61-101".

The Transaction is not subject to MI 61-101 for Volatus as it is not a reporting issuer.

Minority Approval

The minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 apply in connection with the Amalgamation and in addition to obtaining approval of the Amalgamation Resolution by at least two-thirds of the votes cast on the Amalgamation Resolution at the Meeting by the Partner Jet Shareholders, present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, approval will also be sought from a simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by the Partner Jet Shareholders present or represented by proxy at the Meeting, excluding the votes of the interested parties whose votes may not be included in determining minority approval of a business combination under MI 61-101. The table below sets forth the votes of interested parties (or related parties of interested parties) excluded for purposes of determining minority approval in accordance with MI 61-101:

Dissent Rights

If you are a Registered Partner Jet Shareholder, you are entitled to dissent from the Amalgamation Resolution, in the manner provided in Section 185 of the OBCA, provided that, notwithstanding Subsection 185(6) of the OBCA, the written objection to the Amalgamation Resolution referred to in Subsection 185(6) of the OBCA must be received by Partner Jet not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of the Meeting (as it may be adjourned or postponed from time to time).


In addition to any other restrictions under Section 185 of the OBCA, Non-Registered Partner Jet Shareholders and holders of securities convertible for Partner Jet Shares (including Partner Jet Options and Partner Jet Warrants) are not entitled to exercise Dissent Rights.

The following brief summary of the rights of Registered Partner Jet Shareholders to dissent from the Amalgamation Resolution is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a Dissenting Shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of their Partner Jet Shares. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of Section 185 of the OBCA, the full text of which is set forth in Schedule "9" to this Circular.

A Registered Partner Jet Shareholder's failure to follow exactly the procedures set forth in Section 185 of the OBCA, will result in the loss of such Registered Partner Jet Shareholder's Dissent Rights. Any Partner Jet Shareholder that wishes to dissent in respect of the Amalgamation Resolution should obtain their own legal advice and carefully read the Amalgamation Agreement (see Schedule "2") and the provisions of Section 185 of the OBCA (see Schedule "9"). In addition to any other restrictions under Section 185 of the OBCA, holders of securities exercisable for, or convertible into, Partner Jet Shares, such as the Partner Jet Options and the Partner Jet Warrants, are not entitled to exercise Dissent Rights, nor are Partner Jet Shareholders who vote or have instructed (without revocation) a proxyholder to vote such Partner Jet Shares in favour of the Amalgamation Resolution (but only in respect of such Partner Jet Shares).

Dissenting Shareholders who duly exercise their Dissent Rights shall be deemed to have transferred the Partner Jet Shares held by them and in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised to Partner Jet free and clear of all encumbrances and if they:

  • ultimately are entitled to be paid fair value for such Partner Jet Shares, then such Dissenting Shareholders shall be paid the fair value of such Partner Jet Shares by Partner Jet, which shall be the fair value of such Partner Jet Shares as of the close of business on the day before the Amalgamation Resolution is adopted by Partner Jet Shareholders, and such Dissenting Shareholders shall not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment that would be payable under the Amalgamation had such holders not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of such Partner Jet Shares; or

  • ultimately are not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for such Partner Jet Shares, then such Dissenting Shareholders shall be deemed to have participated in the Amalgamation on the same basis as a non-dissenting holder of Partner Jet Shares.

In no circumstances shall Partner Jet or any other person be required to recognize a person exercising Dissent Rights unless such person is the registered holder of those Partner Jet Shares in respect of which such Dissent Rights are sought to be exercised. For greater certainty, Partner Jet and any other person shall not be required to recognize Dissenting Shareholders as Partner Jet Shareholders in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised after the completion of the transfer of such Partner Jet Shares in accordance with the Amalgamation Agreement at the Effective Time, and the names of such Dissenting Shareholders shall be removed from the securities register of Partner Jet, as applicable, in respect of the Partner Jet Shares for which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised at the same time as the completion of such transfer at the Effective Time. There can be no assurance that a Dissenting Shareholder will receive consideration for its Partner Jet Shares of equal or greater value to the consideration that such Dissenting Shareholder would have received under the Amalgamation.


The exercise of Dissent Rights does not deprive a Registered Partner Jet Shareholder of the right to vote at the Partner Jet Meeting. However, a Partner Jet Shareholder is not entitled to exercise Dissent Rights in respect of the Amalgamation Resolution if such holder votes any of the Partner Jet Shares beneficially held by such holder in favour of the Amalgamation Resolution.

A Dissenting Shareholder is required to send a written objection to the Amalgamation Resolution to Partner Jet prior to the Partner Jet Meeting. The execution or exercise of a proxy against the Amalgamation Resolution or not voting on the Amalgamation Resolution does not constitute a written objection for purposes of the right to dissent under Section 185 of the OBCA.

Partner Jet shall, within 10 days after the Amalgamation Resolution is approved by the Partner Jet Shareholders, send to each applicable Dissenting Shareholder a notice that the Amalgamation Resolution has been adopted, stating that Partner Jet intends to act, or has acted, on the authority of the Amalgamation Resolution and advise the Dissenting Shareholder of the manner in which dissent is to be completed under Section 185 of the OBCA.

If the Amalgamation Resolution is approved by the Partner Jet Shareholders as required at the Partner Jet Meeting, and if Partner Jet notifies the Dissenting Shareholders of its intention to act upon the Amalgamation Resolution, pursuant to Section 185 of the OBCA, the Dissenting Shareholder is then required, within 20 days after receipt of such notice, to send to Partner Jet a signed written notice setting out the Dissenting Shareholder's name and address, the number and class of Partner Jet Shares in respect of which the Dissenting Shareholder dissents and that the Dissent Right is being exercised in respect of all of the Dissenting Shareholder's Partner Jet Shares. The written notice shall also include demand for payment of the fair value of such Partner Jet Shares. Within 30 days after sending such written notice, the Dissenting Shareholder must send to Partner Jet or the Partner Jet Transfer Agent the share certificate or certificates, if any, representing the Partner Jet Shares in respect of which the Dissenting Shareholder has exercised Dissent Rights.

A Dissenting Shareholder who does not send to Partner Jet or the Partner Jet Transfer Agent, as applicable, within the required period of time, the required notices or the certificates representing the Partner Jet Shares in respect of which the Dissenting Shareholder has dissented may forfeit its Dissent Rights. Upon delivery of these documents, the Dissenting Shareholder ceases to have any rights as a shareholder other than the right to be paid the fair value of the shares, except where the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws the notice referred to above before Partner Jet makes an offer, Partner Jet fails to make an offer and the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws notice, or the directors revoke the Amalgamation Resolution, in which case the Dissenting Shareholder's rights are reinstated as of the date the Dissenting Shareholder sent the notice referred to above.

If the matters provided for in the Amalgamation Resolution become effective, then Partner Jet will be required to send, not later than the 7th day after the later of the Effective Date and the day the demand for payment is received, to each Dissenting Shareholder whose demand for payment has been received, a written offer to pay for the Partner Jet Shares of such Dissenting Shareholder for such amount as the Partner Jet Board considers to be fair value accompanied by a statement showing how the fair value was determined, unless there are reasonable grounds for believing that Partner Jet is, or after the payment would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due or the realizable value of Partner Jet's assets, as applicable, would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities.

Partner Jet must pay for the Partner Jet Shares of a Dissenting Shareholder within 10 days after an offer made as described above has been accepted by a Dissenting Shareholder, but any such offer lapses if Partner Jet does not receive an acceptance thereof within 30 days after such offer has been made. Every offer made by Partner Jet for Partner Jet Shares shall be on the same terms.


If such offer is not made or accepted within 50 days after the Effective Date, Partner Jet may apply to the Court to fix the fair value of such Partner Jet Shares. There is no obligation of Partner Jet to apply to the Court. If Partner Jet fails to make such an application, a Dissenting Shareholder has the right to so apply within a further 20 days.

Addresses for Notice

All notices to Partner Jet of dissent to the Amalgamation Resolution pursuant to Section 185 of the OBCA should be addressed to the attention of the individual set out below and be received not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of the Meeting, or any date to which the Meeting may be postponed or adjourned to:

Partner Jet Corp.
2450 Derry Rd E, Hanger #9

Mississauga, ON L5S 1B2

Attention:  Luc Masse, President & C.E.O.
Email:  lmasse@partnerjet.com

Under the Amalgamation Agreement, it is a condition of the Amalgamation that Partner Jet Shareholders holding no more than 5% of the outstanding Partner Jet Shares shall have validly exercised Dissent Rights (and not withdrawn such exercise).

2. Approval of the Proposed Transaction Prices

If the Amalgamation Resolution is passed at the Meeting, Partner Jet Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought appropriate, to pass an ordinary resolution of Disinterested Shareholders to ratify and approve the Proposed Transaction Price Resolution set forth in Appendix "B" hereto, authorizing, confirming and approving the adjusted price of the Transaction.

The approval of the Proposed Transaction Price Resolution will require approval of a majority of the votes cast by Disinterested Shareholders at the Meeting.

In connection with the announcement of the Transaction, the Partner Jet Shares were halted at a price of $0.40 on a pre-Exchange Ratio basis and $1.18 on a post-Exchange Ratio basis. Pursuant to the Transaction, the deemed value assigned to the Partner Jet Shares is equal to $0.22 per Partner Jet Share on a pre-Exchange Ratio basis and $0.65 per Partner Jet Share on a post-Exchange Ratio basis. Pursuant to the Volatus Financing, each Subscription Receipt was issued at $0.65 per Subscription Receipt. The Volatus SR Warrants issued in connection with the Volatus Financing have, and will have upon completion of the Transaction, an exercise price of $0.75 per Volatus SR Warrant.

Pursuant to the application of the market price rules of the TSXV Exchange Policies (the "TSXV Minimum Prices"): (i) each Subscription Receipt issued under the Volatus Financing must be issued at a price not less than $0.30 per Subscription Receipt on a pre-Exchange Ratio basis ($0.89 on a post-Exchange Ratio basis), which is above the proposed price of $0.65 per Subscription Receipt on a post-Exchange Ratio basis, (ii) each Partner Jet Share issued by Partner Jet in connection with the Transaction must be issued at a price not less than $0.30 per security on a pre-Exchange Ratio basis ($0.89 on a post-Exchange Ratio basis), which is above the proposed price of $0.22 per Partner Jet Share ($0.65 on a post-Exchange Ratio basis), and (iii) the exercise price for each convertible security issued under or in connection with the Transaction must be not less than $1.18 per security on a post-Exchange Ratio basis, which is above the proposed exercise price of the Volatus SR Warrants, the Bridge Financing Warrants and the Volatus Compensation Warrants.


When used herein, "Proposed Transaction Prices" means the price per Partner Jet Share of $0.22 (on a pre-Exchange Ratio basis) pursuant to the Transaction, Subscription Receipt purchase price of $0.65, the Volatus SR Warrant exercise price of $0.75, the Bridge Financing Warrant price of $0.65 and the Volatus Compensation Warrant exercise price of $0.65. The deemed value of the Partner Jet Shares issued pursuant to the Transaction and the Proposed Transaction Prices are below the discounted market price rules of the TSXV Minimum Prices.

The TSXV has advised the Corporation that it will grant a waiver of the TSXV Minimum Prices and will allow the Proposed Transaction Prices, conditional upon the Proposed Transaction Prices being approved by Disinterested Shareholders.

Recommendation of the Directors

The approval of the Proposed Transaction Price Resolution by the Disinterested Shareholders is a condition of final TSXV acceptance of the Amalgamation. The Partner Jet Board believes that approval of the Proposed Transaction Prices is in best interests of Partner Jet, notwithstanding the TSXV Minimum Prices, and unanimously recommends that the Partner Jet Shareholders vote in favour of the Proposed Transaction Price Resolution.

In order to pass the above Proposed Transaction Prices Resolution, a simple majority of the votes cast by Disinterested Shareholders, present in person or by proxy at the Meeting, is required. The Adjusted Price Resolution must receive approval by a majority of the votes cast by Disinterested Shareholders.

Unless the Disinterested Shareholder has specified in the enclosed form of proxy that the Partner Jet Shares represented by such proxy are to be voted against the Proposed Transaction Price Resolution, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote FOR the Proposed Transaction Price Resolution.

Approval of the New Option Plan

If the Amalgamation Resolution is passed at the Meeting, Partner Jet Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought appropriate, to pass an ordinary resolution of Partner Jet Shareholders to ratify and approve the New Option Plan Resolution set forth in Appendix "C" hereto, authorizing, confirming and approving the New Option Plan for use by the Resulting Issuer.

The following is a summary of the material terms of the New Option Plan. The full text of the New Option Plan is attached hereto as Schedule "3". Partner Jet Shareholder are encouraged to read the full text of the New Option Pan.

Summary of New Option Plan

The purpose of the New Option Plan is to assist the Resulting Issuer in attracting, retaining and motivating directors, officers, employees, consultants and contractors of the Resulting Issuer and of its affiliates and to closely align the personal interests of such service providers with the interests of the Resulting Issuer and its shareholders.

The New Option Plan provides that the aggregate number of securities reserved for issuance, together with the aggregate number of securities reserved for issuance under the RSU Plan, will be 10% of the number of Resulting Issuer Common Shares issued and outstanding from time to time.

The New Option Plan will be administered by the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer, which has full and final authority with respect to the granting of all options thereunder.

Options may be granted under the new Option Plan to such eligible employees, directors and consultants of the Resulting Issuer and its affiliates, if any, as the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer may from time to time designate.  The exercise prices will be determined by the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer, but will, in no event, be less than the Discounted Market Price (as such term is defined in the policies of the TSXV) of the Resulting Issuer Common Shares.  All options granted under the New Option Plan will expire not later than the date that is five years from the date that such options are granted.  Options granted under the New Option Plan are not transferable or assignable other than by testamentary instrument or pursuant to the laws of succession.

Pursuant to the policies of the TSXV and the terms of the New Option Plan:


(a) no individual may be granted options to purchase Resulting Issuer Common Shares representing more than 5% of the Outstanding Issue (as defined in the New Option Plan) in any 12 month period;

(b) no consultant may be granted options to purchase Resulting Issuer Common Shares representing more than 2% of the Outstanding Issue in any 12 month period;

(c) the aggregate number of options granted to all persons conducting Investor Relations Activities (as defined in the New Option Plan) must not exceed 2% of the Outstanding Issue in any 12 month period, calculated at the date an option is granted to any such person;

(d) options granted to consultants performing Investor Relations Activities must vest in stages over 12 months with no more than ¼ of the option vesting in any 3 month period;

(e) the number of Resulting Issuer Common Shares reserved for issuance under options granted to Insiders (as defined in the New Option Plan) may not exceed 10% of the Outstanding Issue; and

(f) Insiders may not be granted, within a 12-month period, options to purchase Resulting Issuer Common Shares representing more than 10% of the Outstanding Issue.

In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Resulting Issuer or in the event of any transaction that results in the acquisition of a majority of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Common Shares by a single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert, or in the event of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Resulting Issuer's assets (all of the foregoing being referred to as an "Acquisition Event"), the board of the Resulting Issuer may, in its sole discretion, deal with the options issued under the New Option Plan in the manner it deems fair and reasonable in light of the circumstances of the Acquisition Event. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with an Acquisition Event, the board of directors may, without any action or consent required on the part of any holder of options, (i) accelerate the vesting of some or all options outstanding; (ii) deem any or all options (vested or unvested) under the New Option Plan to have been exercised and the Resulting Issuer Common Shares issuable on such exercise to have been tendered to the Acquisition Event; (iii) apply a portion of the holder's proceeds from the closing of the Acquisition Event to the exercise price payable by that holder for the exercise of his or her options; (iv) cancel the options and pay to a holder the amount that the holder would have received, after deducting the exercise price of the options, had the options been exercised; (v) exchange options that remain unvested and/or unexercised at the closing of the Acquisition Event, or any portion of them, for options to purchase shares in the capital of the acquiror or any  corporation which results from an amalgamation, merger or similar transaction involving the Resulting Issuer made in connection with the Acquisition Event; (vi) deem any options that are unexercised as of the date of closing of the Acquisition Event to have expired or; (vii) take such other actions, and combinations of the foregoing actions, as it deems fair and reasonable under the circumstances.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the board may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of any or all outstanding options to provide that, notwithstanding the terms of New Option Plan or any option agreement, such outstanding options shall be fully vested and conditionally exercisable upon (or prior to) the completion of the Acquisition Event and require that if any such accelerated options are not exercised prior to completion of the Acquisition Event such unexercised options shall terminate and expire. 

The New Option Plan will terminate on the date upon which no further Resulting Issuer Common Shares remain available for issuance pursuant to options which may be granted under the New Option Plan and no options remain outstanding.  The board may, without notice, at any time or from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate the New Option Plan or any provisions hereof in such respects as it, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate.  No such amendment, suspension or termination of the New Option Plan, without the consent of any optionee or the representatives of his or her estate, as applicable, alters or impairs any rights or obligations arising from any option previously granted to an optionee under the New Option Plan. Disinterested shareholder approval (as such term is used in the TSXV policies) is required for any reduction in the exercise price of any option if the optionee is an Insider of the Resulting Issuer at the time of the proposed amendment.


Recommendation of the Directors

Pursuant to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, the approval of the New Option Plan by the Partner Jet Shareholders is a condition precedent to closing of the Amalgamation. The Partner Jet Board believes that approval of the New Option Plan is in best interests of Partner Jet and unanimously recommends that the Partner Jet Shareholders vote in favour of the New Option Plan Resolution.

In order to pass the above New Option Plan Resolution, a simple majority of the votes cast by Partner Jet Shareholders, present in person or by proxy at the Meeting, is required.

Unless the Partner Jet Shareholder has specified in the enclosed form of proxy that the Partner Jet Shares represented by such proxy are to be voted against the New Option Plan Resolution, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote FOR the New Option Plan Resolution.

Approval of the RSU Plan

If the Amalgamation Resolution is passed at the Meeting, Partner Jet Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought appropriate, to pass an ordinary resolution of Partner Jet Shareholders to ratify and approve the RSU Plan Resolution set forth in Appendix "D" hereto, authorizing, confirming and approving the RSU Plan for use by the Resulting Issuer.

The following is a summary of the material terms of the RSU Plan. The full text of the RSU Plan is attached hereto as Schedule "4". Partner Jet Shareholder are encouraged to read the full text of the RSU Pan

Summary of RSU Plan

All directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Resulting Issuer and its affiliates (each an "RSU Eligible Person") are eligible to participate in the RSU Plan (as "RSU Participants"), though the Resulting Issuer reserves the right to restrict eligibility or otherwise limit the number of persons eligible for participation in the RSU Plan at any time. Eligibility to participate in the RSU Plan does not confer upon any person a right to receive an award of restricted stock units ("RSUs").

Subject to adjustment as may be permitted under the RSU Plan, the maximum number of Resulting Issuer Common Shares which may be reserved for issuance under the RSU Plan will be 101,835 Resulting Issuer Common Shares.

Subject to certain restrictions, the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer, or a committee thereof, can, from time to time, award RSUs in its discretion to any RSU Eligible Persons. RSUs will be credited to an account maintained for each RSU Participant on the books of the Resulting Issuer as of the award date.  The board shall determine, in its discretion (i) the number of RSUs to be credited to each RSU Participant's account; (ii) the grant date of the RSU; (ii) the vesting date or dates applicable to the RSUs; (iii) performance criteria (if any); (iv) the Settlement Period and Expiry Date (as such terms are defined in the RSU Plan) applicable to an RSU; (v) the nature and duration of the restrictions, if any, to be imposed upon the sale or other disposition of Resulting Issuer Common Shares acquired upon settlement of the RSU; and (vi) such other terms, conditions and limitations permitted by and not inconsistent with the RSU Plan as the board may determine.


The RSUs shall have a term, which shall be determined by the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer, or a committee thereof, on the date of award of the RSUs, which term shall not exceed December 1st of the third year after the Service Year (as defined in the RSU Plan), subject to any extensions pursuant to the RSU Plan. 

Each award of RSUs vests on the date(s) and/or the satisfaction of the Performance Criteria (as defined in the RSU Plan) specified by the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer, or a committee thereof, on the award date.

RSUs will be settled by the Resulting Issuer through the delivery by the Resulting Issuer of such number of Resulting Issuer Common Shares equal to the number of RSUs then being settled or, at the Resulting Issuer's election, an amount in cash, in each case net of applicable taxes and contributions to government sponsored plans, equal to the Market Price at the Settlement Date (as such terms are defined in the RSU Plan) of one Resulting Issuer Common Share for each RSU then being settled.

In the event of an actual or potential Change of Control Event (as defined in the RSU Plan), the board of the Resulting Issuer may, in its discretion, without the necessity or requirement for the agreement or consent of any RSU Participant: (i) accelerate, conditionally or otherwise, on such terms as it sees fit, the vesting date of any RSU; (ii) permit the conditional settlement of any RSU, on such terms as it sees fit; (iii) otherwise amend or modify the terms of the RSU, including for greater certainty permitting RSU Participants to settle any RSU, to assist the RSU Participants to tender the underlying Resulting Issuer Common Shares to, or participate in, the actual or potential Change of Control Event or to obtain the advantage of holding the underlying Resulting Issuer Common Shares during such Change of Control Event; and (iv) terminate, following the successful completion of such Change of Control Event, on such terms as it sees fit, the RSUs not settled prior to the successful completion of such Change of Control Event, including, without limitation, for no payment or other compensation.

The board of the Resulting Issuer may amend, suspend or terminate the RSU Plan or any portion thereof at any time in accordance with applicable law, and subject to any required regulatory approval.  No such amendment, suspension or termination shall alter or impair any RSUs or any rights pursuant thereto granted previously to any RSU Participant without the consent of such RSU Participant.  With the consent of the affected RSU Participant, the board may amend or modify any outstanding RSU in any manner to the extent that the board would have had the authority to initially grant such award as so modified or amended, including without limitation, to change the date or dates as of which the RSU becomes exercisable, subject to the prior approval of the TSXV where necessary.

Recommendation of the Directors

Pursuant to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, the approval of the RSU Plan by the Partner Jet Shareholders is a condition precedent to closing of the Amalgamation. The Partner Jet Board believes that approval of the RSU Plan is in best interests of Partner Jet and unanimously recommends that the Partner Jet Shareholders vote in favour of the RSU Plan Resolution.

In order to pass the above RSU Plan Resolution, a simple majority of the votes cast by Partner Jet Shareholders, present in person or by proxy at the Meeting, is required.  Pursuant to the policies of the TSXV, the RSU Plan Resolution must receive approval by a majority of the votes cast by all Partner Jet Shareholders excluding votes attaching to shares beneficially owned by Insiders of Partner Jet to whom RSUs may be granted under the RSU Plan and their Associates.

Unless the Partner Jet Shareholder has specified in the enclosed form of proxy that the Partner Jet Shares represented by such proxy are to be voted against the RSU Plan Resolution, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote FOR the RSU Plan Resolution.

General Development of the Business

History

Since 1997, Partner Jet, through its subsidiary Partner Jet Inc., has been carrying on the business of a full service flight management and private aircraft charter sales and flight support services capable of operating a wide range of corporate aircraft. Partner Jet's revenue is generated through operating contracts, which cover the piloting and operation of aircraft owned by independent corporations, through charter and sub-charter activities, and through aircraft maintenance contracts.

Essential to the management contracts are the CAR Part 604, 703 and 704 private and commercial licenses granted by Transport Canada to Partner Jet Inc. These licenses permit Partner Jet Inc. to operate private flights on behalf of aircraft owners and commercial flights under a domestic and international air taxi service authority utilizing small turboprop and jet aircraft. This service is offered for transportation within Canada and to international destinations. Partner Jet has maintained its base of operation at Pearson International Airport since its inception and has witnessed and experienced both periods of growth and retrenchment. The operating activities of UYJ Aviation Inc., a corporation wholly owned by Ian McDougall, was merged with those of Partner Jet in June 2010 and, at that time, Ian McDougall acquired 45.6% of outstanding Partner Jet Shares as consideration for such transaction. The operating activities and financial performance of Partner Jet have declined over the past five years mainly due to a combination of economic conditions and increased competition at Pearson International Airport. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the financial performance of Partner Jet and continues as of the date of this Circular.

Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

For the purposes of this Circular, a named executive officer ("NEO") of Partner Jet means each of the following Individuals:

(a) a chief executive officer ("CEO") of the Partner Jet;

(b) a chief financial officer ("CFO") of the Partner Jet;

(c) each of Partner Jet's three most highly compensated executive officers, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity, other than the CEO and CFO, at the end of the most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000, as determined in accordance with subsection 1.3(6) of Form 51-102F6, for that financial year; and

(d) each individual who would be an NEO under paragraph (c) above but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of Partner Jet, nor acting in a similar capacity, at the end of that financial year.

Partner Jet currently has the following NEOs: Ian A. McDougall, Executive Vice-Chairman, Luc Masse, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Jingchen Fan, Chief Financial Officer.

When determining the compensation of the NEOs, the Partner Jet Board considers the limited resources of Partner Jet and the objectives of: (i) recruiting and retaining the executives critical to the success of Partner Jet and the enhancement of shareholder value; (ii) providing fair and competitive compensation; (iii) balancing the interests of management and shareholders of Partner Jet; and (iv) rewarding performance, both on an individual basis and with respect to the business in general. In order to achieve these objectives, the compensation paid to the NEOs consists of the following two components:

(a) base fee or salary; and

(b) long-term incentive in the form of stock options.

Base Fee or Salary

The base fee or salary of each particular NEO is determined by an assessment by the Partner Jet Board of such executive's performance, a consideration of competitive compensation levels in companies similar to Partner Jet and a review of the performance of Partner Jet as a whole and the role such executive officer played in such corporate performance.


Long-Term Incentive

Partner Jet provides a long-term incentive by granting options to executive officers under the Option Plan.

The objective of granting options is to encourage executives to acquire an ownership interest in Partner Jet over a period of time, which acts as a financial incentive for such executive to consider the long-term interests of Partner Jet and its shareholders.

Option-Based Rewards

The Partner Jet Board reviews the performance of Partner Jet's management and advisors from time to time, and recommends option-based awards and other compensation awards or adjustments. These decisions take into consideration corporate and individual performance and industry standards. Previous grants of option-based awards are also taken into consideration in making this determination. The experience of the Partner Jet Board members who are also involved as management of, or Partner Jet Board members or advisors to, other companies also informs decisions concerning compensation. Summary Compensation Table

The following table (presented in accordance with National Instrument Form 51-102F6 - Statement of Executive Compensation ("Form 51-102F6") sets forth all annual and long term compensation for services in all capacities to Partner Jet for the three most recently completed fiscal years ended November 30, 2020, 2019  and 2018, regarding compensation earned by NEOs.

(2) Pursuant to a Services Agreement between Flight Solutions & Services Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "FSS"), and Partner Jet dated June 8, 2010, FSS provides a range of services including administrative, technical, regulatory, systems and support services to the Partner Jet. Services provided by FSS and affiliated companies, including MX Aerospace Services ("MX"), were provided on a competitive basis with the costs being agreed to by each end user. FSS and MX are each 100% owned and controlled by Mr. McDougall, and consequently, are related parties. The company has generated cost-savings over a wide range of items as a result of these relationships and the ensuing benefits have been passed to Partner Jet's customers. Please refer to note 7 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2019. MX ceased to provide aircraft maintenance services to Partner Jet effective September 23, 2019, therefore it no longer provides any related party services to Partner Jet.

Indebtedness of Directors and Executive Officers

No individual who is, or at any time during the most recently completed financial year of Partner Jet was, a director or executive officer of Partner Jet, no proposed nominee for election as a director, and no associate of any director, executive officer or proposed nominee is, or at any time since the beginning of the most recently completed financial year of Partner Jet has been, indebted to Partner Jet. No such person has indebtedness to another entity which indebtedness is, or at any time since the beginning of the most recently completed financial year of Partner Jet has been, the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar Amalgamation or understanding provided by Partner Jet.

Non-Arm's Length Party Transactions

Pursuant to the agreement with Delta-Mike Inc. dated March 19, 2020, Partner Jet purchased a 1998 Cessna Citation X business jet ("Citation X") for an aggregate consideration of $3,912,650. The purchase price was satisfied by applying a credit against receivables owing to Partner Jet by Delta-Mike Inc. and a promissory note (the "Note") issued by Partner Jet in the amount of $2,412,650 bearing interest at the rate of 5% per annum, repayable over four years. The transaction was reviewed and approved by Partner Jet's Audit Committee, which is only comprised of independent directors, and the Partner Jet Board. The transaction received final approval of the Exchange.

Since at the time of the acquisition. Delta-Mike Inc. beneficially owned and controlled more than 10% of the Partner Jet Shares, the transaction constituted a "related party transaction" under MI 61- 101. MI 61-101 provides that, unless exempted, a related party transaction must be approved by at least a simple majority of the votes cast by "minority shareholders" of each class of affected securities. The Partner Jet Board had determined that, in light of the business and market conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Corporation is exempt from this requirement pursuant to the "financial hardship" exemption under Section 5.7(1)(e) of MI 61-101. MI 61-101 which also provides that if an issuer proposes to complete a related party transaction less than 21 days following the filing of a material change report in respect of the transaction, it must explain why the shorter period is reasonable or necessary in the circumstances. Partner Jet concluded that such shorter period is reasonable in order to complete the transaction in an expeditious manner so that the Corporation can utilize the Citation X for charter flights as soon as possible.


Please also refer to (i) note 10 of the unaudited interim financial statements of Partner Jet for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021; and (ii) note 9 of the audited annual financial statements of Partner Jet for year ended November 30, 2020 for details of the amount of any material interest, direct or indirect, of any informed person of Partner Jet in any transaction since the commencement of Partner Jet’s most recently completed financial year or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or would materially affect Partner Jet or any of its subsidiaries.

Description of the Business

General Description of the Business

Volatus was formed in 2019 by aviation veterans to become a drone solution provider in North America. Volatus soon identified that the current industry is highly fragmented with no dominant player. Volatus expanded its operations across Canada. Due to the experience of the management, Volatus also became a subject matter expert to industry partners and smaller drone companies and soon expanded into the US by building its pilot network that enables it to serve all the segments of the market. 

Volatus, through its two principal subsidiaries, VUS and VFS, has acquired six Canadian companies, namely, M3 Drone Training Zone Inc., Skygate Videography Inc., M3 Drone Services, UAViation Aerial Solutions Limited, OmniView Tech Corp., and Canadian UAV Solutions Inc. to provide pilot training, equipment sales, aerial inspection and survey services to industry sectors including telecommunications, energy, agriculture, and defence. VFS acquired the IP and equipment assets of Brican Flight Systems Inc. The main subject of the IP is an unmanned fixed wing aircraft that has been developed and is now ready to be commercialized in beyond visual line of sight ("BVLOS") applications for both civil and military.  See Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information.

Through its U.S. subsidiary, Volatus US, Volatus has expanded its presence in the U.S. market initially offering the sale of drone equipment. The acquisition of ConnexiCore, a drone service company with a network of over 1,100 pilots will further expand Volatus' services offering across the United States.  See Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information.

Through its planned Indigenous Aerospace subsidiary, Volatus intends support the development of drone services in First Nations communities across Canada and the USA. Services are expected to include training, equipment sales, inspection and imaging, search and rescue, and drone delivery. See Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information.

In addition to Volatus' organic growth objectives, Volatus will maintain its overall growth strategy of selective accretive acquisitions to further consolidate its position as the leading drone equipment supplier and services company. Part of our strategy is to close the gap between manned and unmanned aviation as the regulatory environment evolves.  See Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information.

None of the acquisitions made by Volatus have constituted "significant acquisitions" as defined in National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations. 

Principal Products and Services


Volatus currently generates revenue from three different segments:

a) Commercial Distribution/Equipment Sales;

b) Drones-as-a-Services; and

c) Drone Training.

In 2020, 100% of revenue was generated from Equipment sales.

In 2021, Volatus is expected to generate revenue from the additional segment: Drone Manufacturing. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information".

Commercial Distribution/Equipment Sales: Under this segment, Volatus and its subsidiaries resell drones, sensors, and other ancillary equipment and parts in Canada and the US. Volatus, along with its subsidiaries, has distribution rights from numerous drone manufacturers, including Da-Jiang Innovations (known as "DJI"). These products cater to two segments of the market: Consumer and Commercial. Revenues from the consumer market is generated through a physical store located at 2045 Dundas St E Unit 1, Mississauga, ON L4X 1M2 and the web platform. Revenue from the commercial segment is generated from the web platform, a sales outreach team, Volatus' subsidiaries, and Volatus' business development team. The equipment sales segment is highly diversified in terms of product offerings and services numerous customers (both on the retail and commercial side).

Drones-as-a-Services: Under this segment, Volatus and its subsidiaries generate revenue by providing services to multiple sectors and industries. Drone services include, but are not limited to, the following activities:

  • infrastructure inspections and surveys (e.g., roadways, bridges, rail, towers);

  • surveillance applications for first responders, public safety & security;

  • construction site surveys, volumetrics and monitoring;

  • energy inspections and surveys (e.g., pipeline, power line, wind turbines); and

  • precision agriculture mapping, surveying and monitoring.

The services are provided by a network of Transport Canada licensed pilots employed by and under contract to Volatus and its subsidiaries. A core team of in-house pilots are highly experienced with sector specific training and skills spread across seven locations in Canada and two locations in the USA. Pilots are strategically located across Canada. If completed, the planned acquisition of ConnexiCore will add a group of over 1,100 similarly qualified and FAA approved pilots located throughout the United States. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information".

Volatus has an eight-member business development team in addition to the sales outreach team. This team is supported by in-house business analysts that help in identifying emerging industry trends and market requirements. Volatus serves both private and public sector entities. Transport Canada has recently awarded to Volatus a Special Flight Operating Certificate ("SFOC") allowing BVLOS remotely piloted aerial inspections across the country. BVLOS operations provide for maximum efficiency, allowing survey, imaging, and mapping missions to collect more data in fewer deployments by enabling a drone to cover far greater distances than missions restricted to visual line of sight requirements.

Drone Training: Under this segment, Volatus and its subsidiaries generate revenue by providing drone training programs both in classroom and online. Programs cover preparation for the Transport Canada basic and advanced pilot licensing exams and sector and platform specific training. Volatus has been selected by the US Federal Aerial Administration ("FAA") to administer Unmanned Aircraft System ("UAV") safety tests. Whether it is initial education to pass the basic pilot exam or specialized flight skills. Volatus intends to establish Canada's first BVLOS Training Centre of Excellence in Prince Edward Island. If established, this Centre will significantly enhance Volatus' ability to provide BVLOS training to pilots across North America.  See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information".


Drone Manufacturing: In June of 2020, Volatus through its subsidiary Volatus Flight Systems, acquired the intellectual property and assets of Brican Flight Systems. More specifically, VFS acquired a family of long range, high endurance fixed wing drones developed over a 10-year period with approximately $7.5M of funding and engagement from several Canadian universities as well as the National Research Council. These aircraft represent a significant commercial opportunity as the regulations enabling flight BVLOS are expected to come into effect this year.  Volatus has several aircraft for demonstration and testing. Assuming the Amalgamation is completed, manufacturing is expected to commence at the Volatus Aerospace Center of Excellence at Lake Simcoe Regional Airport (the "Center of Excellence") late in the third quarter of 2021. The facility activities will include assembly, integration and test requirements for all drone products. Detailed parts and components manufacturing will be subcontracted to qualified and approved suppliers. Volatus' research and development and manufacturing operation is expected to generate revenue through three lines of activities:

a) continued development and manufacturing of Volatus' own aircraft - Velos and Vedette;

b) commercialization of late-stage third party technologies; and

c) providing a scalable manufacturing solution for Volatus and other partners such as FIXAR global.

Volatus' Velos aircraft is an electric powdered fixed-wing drone capable of delivering real time information with 20 pounds payload with 2.5 hours endurance and a cruise speed of 83km/h.

Volatus' Vedette aircraft is a multi fuel gas-powered fixed-wing drone capable of delivering real time information with 20 pounds payload with an endurance of up to 12 hours and a cruise speed of 83km/h.

In addition to the above, this Center of Excellence will serve as a bridge between manned and unmanned aircraft.

See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information".

Production and Services

For products that are resold by Volatus and its subsidiaries, Volatus acquires such products from their manufacturers. These products and components are readily available from multiple sources and Volatus has distribution rights of numerous drone manufacturers, including DJI. 

For products that Volatus plans to manufacture itself, assembly and integration is intended to take place at Volatus' Center of Excellence. Parts will be acquired from approved suppliers and manufactured composite and metal parts will be procured through approved manufacturers subcontracted to manufacture on our behalf using Volatus owned designs, tooling and processes. All final assembly and pre-delivery testing will be performed by Volatus at our Lake Simcoe facility. These products and components are readily available from multiple sources on commercial terms.  See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information"


The Volatus Center of Excellence is located at Lake Simcoe Regional Airport in a 33,000 sq. Ft. facility currently under a 64-month lease executed on 9 March 2021. Volatus has an option, at its sole discretion, to extend the lease for a further 24 months. The lease rate is $24,750, fixed for the initial term a payment commencing on 1 August 2021. The lease is in good standing.

Drone services and drone training services provided by Volatus are provided by in-house pilots or by leveraging the existing Volatus pilot network in Canada and the US. The widely distributed pilot network enables Volatus to serve any segment of the market and even in the remote most location of Canada.

Specialized Skill and Knowledge

Operating in the drone industry requires specialized knowledge and skills. Volatus has acquired these skills by hiring skilled employees and contractors, by acquiring regional companies and by continuing skills and knowledge development through ongoing training. To date, Volatus has retained 100% of the management of companies acquired, and this adds to specialized skill sets. 

Competitive Conditions

The current drone industry consists of numerous small and regional players. Volatus has found a niche by vertically integrating its business and serving all segments of the market. Volatus hopes to succeed by becoming a one-stop drone solution provider across Canada and the USA through its wider pilot network and inhouse expertise. Volatus competitive presence can be divided into two segments:

  • Commercial Distribution and Drones-as-a-Service: the current market is highly scattered and consists of multiple smaller players. The industry is dominated by regional players with limited geographic presence and limited expertise to perform all types of services. Volatus in its early stage identified the gap and addressed the opportunity by expanding across Canada and building an extensive pilot network that enables it to serve every segment of the market with coast-to-coast presence. There are players that compete on regional scale such as RMUS, Indro Robotics, Skymount, Aerium Analytics, and Canadian UAV.

  • Drone Technology: the aerospace industry is long dominated by established larger players like Boeing, Textron, and Schiebel. However, all these players have focused on military application of their UAVs/drones. There is second category of players who have focused on commercial application but for low range and with limited payload such as Wingtra, SenseFly, and UAV Factory. Volatus identified a niche at the intersection of military and commercial application. Velos and Vedette, fixed-wing drone of Volatus are capable of flying BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) with high endurance and payload capacity. This differentiates Volatus from other competitors when it comes to performance and application of drones.

New Products

Volatus, as part of its research and development initiatives, is progressing on the development of a vertical take-off and landing ("VTOL") version of its Velos and Vedette unmanned aircraft.  This derivative is being designed to offer a greater application of the Volatus owned intellectual property and widen the potential market for the product family. This version is planned to be available for sale in late 2022. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information."

Volatus has entered into a Letter of Intent dated 8 April 2021 pursuant to which it expects to enter into definitive agreements providing it with the rights to manufacture and distribute the FIXAR 007 drone on behalf of Fixar-Aero, a Latvian based drone design and production company.  Recently approved for flight by Transport Canada, this hybrid UAV can transition between vertical and forward flight, taking advantage of the lifting power of an airfoil to fly forward with greater efficiency than a quadcopter or fixed-wing drone. Definitive distribution and licensed manufacturing agreements are expected to be executed between Volatus and Fixar during the 3rd quarter of 2021.  See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information."


Volatus is negotiating and plans to negotiate agreements with manufacturers of cargo and delivery drones that, if such negotiations result in definitive agreements, will enable Volatus to create a complete delivery solution in the unmanned segment. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information."

Components

To date, the supply chain for Volatus products has been stable both for supply and pricing. Components, parts, accessories, and finished products supplied under distribution or dealership agreements have been readily available on commercial terms.

Intangible Properties

Given the nature of the business of Volatus and its industry, Volatus relies heavily on trade secrets and confidentiality agreements to protect its intellectual property. Identifiable intangible properties such as brand names, licences, software and unregistered trademarks are of significant importance and Volatus expects that their importance will continue.

Volatus has identified two major intangibles namely customer relationships and website brand value. These intangibles were identified as per IFRS 13 based on income approach, specifically multi-period excess earnings method and relief from royalty method. These intangibles will further diversify the Volatus customer base and brand value in consumer and commercial space.

See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information."

Cycles

The business of Volatus as a whole is not cyclical or seasonal but certain segments are impacted by seasons.  The level of drone service activities in Canada is impacted during harsh winter conditions. This is expected to be offset with the closing of the ConnexiCore acquisition that will open up the entire US market.  However, other business segments like training and equipment sales compensates for such impact. Also, the company's presence in the US and western Canada is diversifying the geographic distribution and reducing any cyclical or seasonal impacts. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information"

Economic Dependence

Volatus' business activities are derived from a number of service offerings catering to numerous business sectors.  Volatus does not depend on any one segment, nor does it depend on one substantial contract or customer. DJI is a crucial supplier for Volatus because 70% of drone market is captured by DJI. Volatus has developed strong relationship with DJI and other dealers to mitigate any risks of supply delays.

Employees

As of the financial year ended December 31, 2020, Volatus employed 14 full-time employees and engaged 3 contractors or consultants. In addition, Volatus maintains a network of 112 Transport Canada licensed drone pilots that are contracted on a project-by-project basis. Pilots are selected based on a match of the mission requirements to their profile, experience, and drones supplied.

Foreign Operations

Volatus operates primarily in Canada to date but has recently expanded in the United States of America by retaining office space in Albany, New York and is proposing to acquire ConnexiCore as discussed above. This will diversify the market and service offerings. Volatus views the United States of America as a stable political and economic country and does not foresee any specific risk associated with operating in that country. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information"


Social or Environmental Policies

Volatus is very focused on its environmental, social, and corporate governance ("ESG") obligations and contribution. All internal policies and process are designed to ensure ESG compliance. As part of its social responsibility, Volatus has also entered into an arrangement with Orijinative Holding to establish Indigenous Aerospace Corp as described above, to develop the full potential of UAV activities throughout First Nations communities in Canada. This partnership aims to create sustainable growth, gainful employment and a national appreciation of what Indigenous-owned and operated businesses and employees can contribute to the economy. Many First Nations communities are remote and operate under challenging environmental conditions. Those challenges translate to significant opportunities for Indigenous Aerospace. Corp. Drones can operate safely within the current regulatory framework - providing security to sacred lands, performing search and rescue activity, remote survey and mapping, and drone package delivery services.  See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information"

The holders of Volatus Common Shares are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Volatus Board. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Volatus, holders of Volatus Common Shares will be entitled to share equally share for share, in the distribution of the assets of the Corporation.


Class A Preferred Shares

Each holder of Volatus Class A Preferred Shares is entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors of Volatus. The Volatus Class A Preferred Shares are non-voting shares. The board of directors of Volatus may, in its absolute discretion, declare dividends on any of the Volatus Class A Preferred Shares in priority to or after dividends on the Volatus Common Shares. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Volatus, holders of Volatus Class A Preferred Shares will be entitled, in preference and priority to the holders of Volatus Common Shares and any preferred shares, issuable in series (as described below), to payment in respect of each Volatus Class A Preferred Share of an amount equal to $1.00, together with all dividends declared thereon and unpaid.

The board of directors of Volatus is authorized to fix the number of shares constituting each series of Volatus Preferred Shares, and to determine the designation and any rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the shares of each such series. No rights, privileges, restrictions or conditions attached to any series of Volatus Preferred Shares shall confer on the shares of such series a priority in respect of dividends, distribution of assets or return of capital in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Volatus over any other series of shares of the same class. The Volatus Preferred Shares of each series shall be entitled to a preference and priority over the Volatus Common Shares but not in priority over the Volatus Class A Preferred Shares, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets or return of capital if there is a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution of winding-up of Volatus. 

No Volatus Preferred Shares are outstanding.

Volatus has adopted the Volatus Stock Option Plan as described below under Executive Compensation.  The objective of the Volatus Stock Option Plan is to provide an incentive to attract, retain and reward employees and directors of Volatus by motivating such persons to contribute to the growth and profitability of Volatus.

There are currently 884,615 Volatus Options outstanding pursuant to the Volatus Stock Option Plan with an exercise price of $0.001 per Volatus Common Share. All Volatus Options will vest and are expected to be exercised prior to the closing of the Amalgamation and will be exchanged for an equal number of common shares of the Resulting Issuer on closing of the Amalgamation.

Bridge Financing Debentures

Between April 9, 2021 and May 11, 2021, Volatus issued the Bridge Financing Debentures, being unsecured convertible debentures, in the principal amount of $4,183,000.  The Bridge Financing Debentures bear interest at a simple non compounding rate of ten percent (10%) per annum until such unpaid principal amount shall be repaid or converted.

If the Bridge Financing Debentures have not been converted or accelerated pursuant to their terms, payment of principal, interest and all other obligations due under the Bridge Financing Debentures shall become due and payable in immediately available funds within thirty (30) days following written demand from the holder of the Bridge Financing Debenture delivered to Volatus on or after the earlier of: (i) the second anniversary of the date of issuance of the Bridge Financing Debenture, provided that Volatus may elect in its discretion to extend such maturity date by an additional six months (a "Maturity Extension"), or (ii) a Sale of the Company (as defined in the Bridge Financing Debenture) (the earlier of the two being the "Maturity Date"). In the event Volatus elects for a Maturity Extension, the rate of interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Bridge Financing Debenture during the period of such extension shall be a simple non-compounding rate of twelve (12%) per annum.


Immediately prior to the closing of a Liquidity Event (as defined in the Bridge Financing Debenture) but conditional upon such Liquidity Event actually closing, the principal and interest of the Bridge Financing Debentures shall automatically convert into Volatus Common Shares at a price equal to the lesser of:

(A) (i) in the event that the Liquidity Event occurs on or prior to the date that is twelve months following the date of the Bridge Financing Debenture, $0.52; and (ii) in the event that the Liquidity Event occurs after the date that is 12 months following the date of the Bridge Financing Debenture but prior to the Maturity Date, $0.455; and

(B) a price per common share equal to C$40,000,000 divided by the sum, as of immediately prior to the Liquidity Event, of all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Volatus (on an as-converted basis), assuming exercise or conversion of all outstanding vested and unvested options, warrants and other convertible securities, but excluding (A) the Bridge Financing Debentures, Bridge Financing Warrants and Bridge Broker Warrants,  (B) the Subscription Receipts and Subscription Receipt Broker Warrants; and (C) all Volatus Common Shares reserved and available for future grant under any equity incentive or similar plan of Volatus, and/or any equity incentive or similar plan to be created or increased in connection with the Liquidity Event.

Volatus has the option of determining which portion of the outstanding interest on the Bridge Financing Debentures will be converted into Volatus Common Shares ("Converting Interest") and which will be payable in cash at the time of the conversion.  Volatus intends to convert all interest accruing up to August 15, 2021 and to pay any interest accruing after that date in cash following Closing.

The Amalgamation will constitute a Liquidity Event for the purposes of the Bridge Financing Debentures.  Based on the above formula, Volatus has determined that the principal and convertible interest pursuant to the Bridge Financing Debentures will convert at a price of $0.52 per share.  It is anticipated that the principal and Converting Interest under the Bridge Financing Debentures will convert into 8,298,001 Volatus Common Shares immediately prior to closing of the Amalgamation.

On closing of the Amalgamation, the Volatus Common Shares issued to the holders of Bridge Financing Debentures will be automatically exchanged for an equal number of common shares of the Resulting Issuer. 

Bridge Financing Warrants

Each Bridge Financing Warrant entitles the holder to, at any time after the closing of a Liquidity Event (as defined in the Debentures) and prior to 5:00 p.m. in Toronto, Ontario on the date that is two years following the closing of the Liquidity Event, to purchase, at $0.65, one Volatus Common Share for each Bridge Financing Warrant. The Amalgamation will be a Liquidity Event for the purposes of the Bridge Financing Warrants.

On closing of the Amalgamation, the Bridge Financing Warrants will be exchanged for warrants of the Resulting Issuer entitling the holder to purchase an equal number of Resulting Issuer Common Shares on the same terms.


If the closing price of the Resulting Issuer's Common Shares listed on a Canadian stock exchange remains 150% higher than $0.65 for ten (10) consecutive trading days (the tenth such trading day being referred to as the "Acceleration Trigger Date"), the expiry of the Bridge Financing Warrants may be accelerated to 5:00 p.m. in Toronto, Ontario, on the thirtieth (30th) trading day after the Acceleration Trigger Date at the option of the Resulting Issuer by the Resulting Issuer issuing a news release announcing such acceleration within five trading days after the Acceleration Trigger Date.

No fractional shares will be issuable on exercise of a Bridge Financing Warrant. Where a fractional Resulting Issuer Common Share would otherwise be issuable upon exercise of a Bridge Financing Warrant, in lieu thereof, there shall be paid to the holder an amount equal (rounded to the nearest $0.01) to the product obtained by multiplying such fractional share interest by the market price of a Resulting Issuer Common Share (calculated in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Financing Warrants) at the date of due exercise of the Bridge Financing Warrants.

The Bridge Financing Warrants contain terms adjusting the number of shares issuable on exercise of such warrants and the exercise price of such warrants in the event of reorganizations of the Resulting Issuer Common Shares, including consolidations or splits of the Resulting Issuer Common Shares, rights offerings, stock dividends and the like.

Bridge Broker Warrants

The Bridge Broker Warrants were issued to the Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. in connection with the Bridge Financing. The Bridge Broker Warrants are on the same terms as the Bridge Financing Warrants except that the number of Volatus Common Shares that may be purchased by the holder of the Bridge Broker Warrants is equal to 7.0% of the number of Volatus Common Shares issued to the holders of Bridge Financing Debentures issued to investors referred by the holder of the Bridge Broker Warrants, rounded to the nearest whole warrant. 

Based on the investors referred to Volatus by the holder of Bridge Broker Warrants and assuming the conversion of the Bridge Financing Debentures on the terms defined above, Volatus expects that the Bridge Broker Warrants will be exercisable into 307,328 Volatus Common Shares.

On closing of the Amalgamation, the Bridge Broker Warrants will be exchanged for an equal number of warrants of the Resulting Issuer on the same terms. 

Subscription Receipts

On June 30, 2021, Volatus issued 14,051,932 Subscription Receipts at a price of $0.65 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of $9,133,755.80. 

Each Subscription Receipt will automatically convert, for no additional consideration, into one unit of Volatus (a "Unit") upon the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, including, among others, the completion or waiver of all conditions precedent to the completion of the Amalgamation and the receipt of shareholder and regulatory approvals required for the completion of the Amalgamation (the "Escrow Release Conditions"). Each Unit will be comprised of one Volatus Common Share and one-half of one Volatus Common Share purchase warrant.

In the event that the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied on or prior to the date that is 120 days after June 30, 2021 (which may be further extended, in the discretion of Echelon Wealth Partners Inc., by a period of up to 60 days), the escrowed subscription funds, together with all interest accrued thereon, will be returned to subscribers in accordance with the terms of the subscription receipt agreement governing the Subscription Receipts.


The Subscription Receipts were issued pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

The Volatus SR Warrants will be issued pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Indenture. Each whole Volatus SR Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional Volatus Common Share at an exercise price of $0.75 at any time prior to the date that is 24 months from the closing of the Amalgamation. On closing of the Amalgamation, the Volatus Common Shares and Volatus SR Warrants issued to the holders of Subscription Receipts will be automatically exchanged for an equal number of common shares and warrants of the Resulting Issuer. 

No fractional shares will be issuable on exercise of a Volatus SR Warrant.

Executive Compensation

Introduction

This compensation discussion and analysis describes and explains the policies and practices of Volatus with respect to the compensation of each of Glen Lynch, Chief Executive Officer, Abhinav Singhvi, Chief Financial Officer and Luc Masse, Executive Vice President and Secretary (collectively, the "Volatus NEOs").

Volatus' executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain, motivate and reward the executive officers for their performance and contribution to Volatus' long-term success. The objective of the program is to focus Volatus' executive officers on the key business factors that affect shareholder value and to align their compensation with 'Volatus' Business and financial objectives and the long-term interests of Volatus' shareholders.

Historically, the board of directors of Volatus has approved the compensation of the Volatus NEOs based on recommendations of management. In anticipation of the completion of the Amalgamation and the listing of the Resulting Issuer Common Shares, the board of directors of Volatus has approved amended employment agreements for the Volatus NEOs, to be entered into with the Resulting Issuer, effective upon the completion of the Amalgamation. Details of such arrangements are provided in the section of this Circular about the Resulting Issuer.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

As of the date of this Circular, Volatus' executive compensation program consists mainly of base salary and variable bonus. Volatus has also adopted the Volatus Stock Option Plan as described below. 

Volatus has not presently adopted any other equity-based incentive plans, but may do so in the future, subject to all necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals.

Base salaries for the Volatus NEOs are established based on the scope of their responsibilities, competencies and their prior relevant experience, taking into account compensation paid in the market for similar positions. Base salary is not contingent on short-term variation in operating performance, and therefore sustains individual performance and competency development.

As of the date of this Circular, Volatus does not have any bonus plan in place as part of its executive compensation program.

Volatus has in place an employee benefits program with the Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada. This program is available to all employees  including the Volatus NEOs. The benefits program provides life, accidental death & dismemberment, long-term disability and extended health care coverage under terms common within the industry.

Volatus Stock Option Plan

The Volatus Stock Option Plan was implemented for the benefit of certain employees and directors of Volatus or the Volatus Subsidiaries as specified therein. The Volatus Stock Option Plan was established to provide additional incentives to attract, retain and motivate such persons to contribute to the growth and profitability of Volatus.

Volatus Options granted under the Volatus Stock Option Plan are non-transferable and generally vest over a four-year period and may be exercised in whole or in part as follows: (a) 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date, and (b) the remaining unvested 75% in equal quarterly instalments over a period of three (3) years commencing from the first anniversary of the grant date. Notwithstanding the foregoing and unless otherwise determined by the board of directors of Volatus, all options granted under the Volatus Stock Option Plan shall fully accelerate in the event of a change of control or liquidity event.

If a participant under the Volatus Stock Option Plan is an employee, and his or her employment is terminated for any reason whatsoever (other than a termination for cause or abandonment of services by such employee), including by resignation by such employee, any vested options granted to such participant shall remain exercisable during the exercise period, as is determined pursuant to the terms of the Volatus Stock Option Plan (subject to the terms of such participant's stock option agreement or the Volatus Stock Option Plan, as applicable). In the event an employee's employment is terminated due to death or permanent disability, unvested options that would have otherwise vested within the one (1) year period following such death or permanent disability are accelerated and deemed vested, with such options being exercisable within the exercise period, as is determined pursuant to the terms of the Volatus Stock Option Plan (subject to the terms of such participant's stock option agreement or the Volatus Stock Option Plan, as applicable).


The Volatus Stock Option Plan is administered by the board of directors of Volatus, which has authority and discretion, subject to the express provisions of the Volatus Stock Option Plan, to interpret and amend the plan and make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Volatus Stock Option Plan. The board of directors of Volatus shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to amend, suspend or terminate the Volatus Stock Option Plan or any portion thereof at any time, in accordance with applicable legislation, and subject to obtaining the approval of shareholders.

There are 884,615 Volatus Options outstanding pursuant to the Volatus Stock Option Plan with an exercise price of $0.001 per share. Of these, 307,692 Volatus Options are held by Abhinav Singhvi, a Volatus NEO.

In connection with the Amalgamation, all Volatus Options outstanding pursuant to the Volatus Stock Option Plan shall vest and are expected to be exercised for Volatus Common Shares prior to Closing. Subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals, each holder of a Volatus Option outstanding immediately before the Effective Date which are not exercised shall exchange each such Volatus Option for an equal number of Replacement Options with such Replacement Options having the same terms as the Volatus Options being exchanged. The exercise price for each Replacement Option will be equal to the exercise price under the Volatus Option in effect immediately prior to the Amalgamation. See "Particulars of Matters to be Acted On - Approval of the New Option Plan" for further particulars

Outstanding share-based awards and option-based awards

No Volatus NEOs held or received share or option-based awards in most recently completed financial year.  307,692 Volatus Options were granted to Abhinav Singhvi, a Volatus NEO, subsequent to the end of the most recently completed financial year.

Director Compensation

However, it is anticipated that the Available Funds will be sufficient to satisfy the Resulting Issuer's objectives over the next 12 months and that during this period of time, adequate cash flow will be generated to assist the Resulting Issuer in pursuing its objectives.

Proposed Committees of the Resulting Issuer Board

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee will be comprised of Sam Ingram, Ian McDougall and Gordon Silverman, of which Sam Ingram and Gordon Silverman meet the requirements for independence under NI 58-101.  Ian McDougall is not considered independent due to the anticipated size of his shareholdings in the Resulting Issuer as outlined elsewhere in this Circular.  Subject to certain exceptions, a director is "independent" within the meaning of NI 52-110 if he has no direct or indirect material relationship with the issuer. A "material relationship" is a relationship that could, in the view of the Resulting Issuer Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgment.

Sam Ingram will be the Chair of the Audit Committee. For the education and experience of each member of the Audit Committee relevant to the performance of his duties as a member of the Audit Committee, see "Biographies of Directors and Executive Officers" above.

Each of the proposed members of the Audit Committee is financially literate within the meaning of NI 52-110. A director is "financially literate" within the meaning of NI 52-110 if he has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Resulting Issuer's financial statements.

The Audit Committee shall be responsible for overseeing the accounting and financial reporting practices of the Resulting Issuer and audits of the Resulting Issuer's financial statements. The Audit Committee's responsibilities also include the selection, recommendation and oversight of Resulting Issuer's independent auditors, as well as the oversight of its internal audit process and system of internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure. The Audit Committee shall also be responsible for the pre-approval of all non-audit services to be provided to the Resulting Issuer by its independent auditors. The Audit Committee shall review and confirm the independence of the independent auditors by obtaining statements from the independent auditors describing all relationships with the Resulting Issuer, including with respect to any non-audit services.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee will be comprised of Sam Ingram, Ian McDougall and Gordon Silverman.  Sam Ingram will be the Chair of the Compensation Committee. For the skills and experience of each proposed member of the Compensation Committee relevant to the performance of his duties as a member of the Compensation Committee, see "Biographies of Directors and Executive Officers" above.

The Compensation Committee shall, amongst other things:

  • oversee and recommend for approval by the Resulting Issuer Board the executive compensation principles, policies, programs, grants of equity-based incentives and processes and specifically consider and recommend annually or as required;

  • review the compensation discussion and analysis and related executive compensation disclosure for inclusion in the Resulting Issuer's public disclosure documents, in accordance with applicable rules and regulations; and

  • review, monitor, report and where appropriate, provide recommendations to the Resulting Issuer Board on the Resulting Issuer's exposure to risks related to executive compensation policies and practices, if any, and identify compensation policies and practices that mitigate any such risk.


Conflicts of Interest   

There may be potential conflicts of interest to which the proposed directors, officers, insiders and promoters of the Resulting Issuer will be subject in connection with the operations of Resulting Issuer. Each of the directors and officers of Resulting Issuer may become or already is associated with other reporting issuers or other entities which may give rise to conflicts of interest. Certain of the directors have either other employment or other business or time restrictions placed on them and accordingly, these directors will only be able to devote part of their time to the affairs of Resulting Issuer. Some of the directors, officers, Insiders and promoters have been and will continue to be engaged in the identification and evaluation of new opportunities, with a view to potential acquisition of interests in businesses and corporations on their own behalf and on behalf of other corporations.

Conflicts, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies prescribed by the OBCA, the TSXV and applicable securities law, regulations and policies.

Corporate Cease Trade Orders or Bankruptcies

No proposed director or officer of the Resulting Issuer is, or within the ten years prior to the date of this Circular has been, a director, officer, or promoter of any person or company that, while that person was acting in that capacity, (a) was the subject of a cease trade order or similar order, or an order that denied the other issuer access to any exemptions under applicable securities law, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, or (b) became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets. Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Circular, no proposed director or officer of the Resulting Issuer, nor securityholder anticipated to hold a sufficient number of securities of the Resulting Issuer to affect materially the control of the Resulting Issuer, nor a personal holding company of any such person has, within the 10 years before the date of the Circular, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or been subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of such proposed director or officer, or personal holding company of any such person.


Penalties and Sanctions

No proposed director or officer of the Resulting Issuer, nor securityholder anticipated to hold a sufficient number of securities of the Resulting Issuer to affect materially the control of the Resulting Issuer, has (a) been subject to any penalties or  sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority; or (b) been subject to any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body, including a self-regulatory body, that would be likely to be considered important to a reasonable securityholder making a decision concerning the Amalgamation.

Proposed Executive Compensation

The description below sets out the proposed compensation philosophy of the Resulting Issuer. Notwithstanding the following discussion, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, Resulting Issuer Board determines that another compensation strategy is in the best interests of the Resulting Issuer.

It is expected that the Resulting Issuer will have the following named executive officers during the 12 month period following closing of the Transaction (the "Proposed Named Executive Officers"): Glen Lynch, Abhinav Singhvi, Luc Masse and Robert Walker.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This compensation discussion and analysis describes and explains the proposed policies and practices of the Resulting Issuer with respect to the compensation of each of the Proposed Named Executive Officers.

The Resulting Issuer's executive compensation program will be designed to attract, retain, motivate and reward the executive officers for their performance and contribution to the Resulting Issuer's long-term success. The objective of the program is to focus the Resulting Issuer's executive officers on the key business factors that affect shareholder value and to align their compensation with the Resulting Issuer's business and financial objectives and the long-term interests of the Resulting Issuer's shareholders.Upon completion of the Amalgamation, it is expected that the Resulting Issuer board will adopt a written charter for the Compensation Committee that will establish, inter alia, the committee's purpose and responsibilities. See "Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer - Proposed Committees of the Resulting Issuer Board - Compensation Committee".

The Compensation Committee will, in its discretion, recommend to the Resulting Issuer board of directors the approval of annual and long-term performance goals and objectives for the CEO, CFO and the other senior executive officers. The Compensation Committee shall seek the input and recommendation of the CEO and the CFO with respect to the compensation and performance goals and objectives of the other senior executive officers, and may also engage outside consultants with respect to any executive compensation matters as it sees fit.


The Compensation Committee may take into account executive compensation paid by companies comparable to the Resulting Issuer, although no specific benchmarking policy is in place for determining compensation or any element of compensation.

The Resulting Issuer's executive compensation program is expected to consist of a combination of equity based incentives, base salary and variable bonus.

Base Salary

Base salaries for the Proposed Named Executive Officers will be established based on the scope of their responsibilities, competencies and their prior relevant experience, taking into account compensation paid in the market for similar positions. Base salary is not contingent on short-term variation in operating performance, and therefore sustains individual performance and competency development.

Upon completion of the Amalgamation, base salaries will be reviewed on an annual basis by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee will assess if adjustments are required considering market changes, individual performance, corporate performance, change in role or responsibilities and other considerations deemed relevant, and subsequently make recommendations to the Resulting Issuer board of directors who will subsequently approve recommended changes to base salary.

Bonus Plan

Upon completion of the Amalgamation, it is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer will implement a compensation bonus plan to provide for variable compensation based on the achievement of objectives set out by the Compensation Committee.

Benefits

Volatus has in place an employee benefits program with the Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada. It is expected that this plan will continue in place for the Resulting Issuer. This program is available to all employees including the Proposed Named Executive Officers. The benefits program provides life, accidental death & dismemberment, long-term disability and extended health care coverage under terms common within the industry)

Equity Based Incentives

The New Option Plan and RSU Plan will form the basis of the equity-based incentives for the Proposed Named Executive Officers.  See "Particulars of Matters to be Acted on - Approval of the New Option Plan" and "Particulars of Matters to be Acted on - Approval of the RSU Plan" for details of such plans.

The Compensation Committee shall make recommendations to the Resulting Issuer board of directors with respect to the New Option Plan, RSU Plan and any future equity-based incentive plans.

Compensation Risk

It is expected that the Compensation Committee and Resulting Issuer board as a whole will consider and assess, as necessary, the implications of risks associated with the Resulting Issuer's compensation policies and practices and devotes such time and resources as it believes are appropriate given the Resulting Issuer's size and straightforward method of executive compensation.

Termination and Change of Control Benefits

Glen Lynch - Under the proposed employment agreement to be entered into between Mr. Lynch and the Resulting Issuer, Mr. Lynch will be entitled to receive a payment equal to 18 months of his then current salary at the time of a termination of Mr. Lynch's employment by the Resulting Issuer without cause. In the case of a change of control of the Resulting Issuer, Mr. Lynch will have the option of terminating his employment at any time within 90 days following such change of control and he shall be entitled to receive a payment equal to 18 months of his then current salary at the time.  Mr. Lynch is also entitled to a continuation of employee benefits during that period to the extent permitted under the applicable benefit plan.  Based on the anticipated base salary of $350,000 per annum to be in effect following Closing, an 18 month payment would equal $525,000. 


Abhinav Singhvi - Under the proposed employment agreement to be entered into between Mr. Singhvi and the Resulting Issuer, Mr. Singhvi will be entitled to receive a payment equal to 12 months of his then current salary at the time of a termination of Mr. Singhvi's employment by the Resulting Issuer without cause.  In the case of a change of control of the Resulting Issuer, Mr. Singhvi will have the option of terminating his employment at any time within 90 days following such change of control and he shall be entitled to receive a payment equal to 12 months of his then current salary at the time. Mr. Singhvi is also entitled to a continuation of employee benefits during that period to the extent permitted under the applicable benefit plan.  Based on the anticipated base salary of $180,000 per annum to be in effect following Closing, a 12 month payment would equal $180,000. 

Luc Masse - Under the proposed employment agreement to be entered into between Mr. Masse and the Resulting Issuer, Mr. Masse will be entitled to receive the minimum amounts required by employment standards in the event Mr. Masse's employment is terminated by the Resulting Issuer without cause.  Based on the anticipated base salary of $160,000 per annum to be in effect following Closing, the minimum required payment would be approximately $6,153. 

Robert Walker - Under the proposed employment agreement to be entered into between Mr. Walker and the Resulting Issuer, Mr. Walker will be entitled to receive the minimum amounts required by employment standards in the event of Mr. Walker's employment is terminated by the Resulting Issuer without cause.  Based on the anticipated base salary of $150,000 per annum to be in effect following Closing, the minimum required payment would be approximately $5,769.

Director Compensation

Upon completion of the Amalgamation, it is expected that the Resulting Issuer board of directors, upon recommendation from the Compensation Committee, will implement a director compensation program designed to attract and retain qualified individuals who possess the relevant experience and align the compensation of the directors with the interests of the Resulting Issuer's shareholders through equity-based compensation.

The following table outlines the anticipated compensation of the directors of the Resulting Issuer who will not also be an executive officer of the Resulting Issuer upon completion of the Amalgamation:

Directors will be entitled to be reimbursed for reasonable travel and other expenses incurred by them in carrying out their duties as directors.

Indebtedness of Directors and Officers

Following the completion of the Amalgamation, no director, executive officer or senior officer, and no individual nominated by management for election as a director of the Resulting Issuer or any associate thereof, is expected to be indebted to the Resulting Issuer, or has been so indebted at any time during the preceding financial year.

Escrowed Securities

Terms of the Escrow for the Surplus Escrowed Securities

In accordance with TSXV Policy 5.4 Escrow, Vendor Consideration and Resale Restrictions (the "Escrow Policy"), securities of the Resulting Issuer held by Principals (as such term is defined in TSXV policies) will be required to be deposited into escrow under the terms of a surplus securities escrow agreement on TSXV Form 5D (the "Surplus Securities Escrow Agreement").  The following table sets out, as of the date hereof and to the knowledge of Volatus and Partner Jet, the name and municipality of residence of the Principals of the Resulting Issuer whose securities will be placed in escrow upon the completion of the Amalgamation:

A further 412,376 Resulting Issuer Preferred Shares will be issued and outstanding after Closing. Those shares are not convertible into Resulting Issuer Common Shares.

4. Ms. Jain is the spouse of Mr. Singhvi and accordingly, her securities will be subject to the Surplus Securities Escrow Agreement. 

Under the Surplus Securities Escrow Agreement, the escrowed securities set out in the table above will be released from escrow as follows:

% of Resulting Issuer Shares Released from Escrow Release Date
5% The date upon which the TSXV issues its final bulletin following the closing of the Amalgamation (in this section, the "Exchange Bulletin")
5% 6 months from Exchange Bulletin
10% 12 months from Exchange Bulletin
10% 18 months from Exchange Bulletin
15% 24 months from Exchange Bulletin
15% 30 months from Exchange Bulletin
40% 36 months from Exchange Bulletin

Further, the provisions of the Surplus Securities Escrow Agreement provide that the automatic release of the securities from escrow will terminate if the asset, business or property (or interest) for which such securities were issued as consideration is lost or abandoned or the operations or development on the asset, business or property are discontinued.

Terms of Certain Seed Share Resale Restrictions

Pursuant to the Escrow Policy, certain non-principal shareholders of Resulting Issuer Shares will be subject to seed share resale restrictions ("SSRRs"). SSRRs are TSXV hold periods of various lengths which apply where seed shares are issued to non-Principals by private companies at a price below the Transaction Price (as defined in the Escrow Policy). The terms of the SSRRs are based on the length of time such seed shares in the private company have been held and the price at which such shares were originally issued. Any such Resulting Issuer Shares will be subject to a resale restriction in accordance with the matrix set out in Section 10.9 of the Escrow Policy. It is expected that, pursuant to the Escrow Policy, 115,385 Resulting Issuer Shares (the "SSRR Shares") will be required to be deposited under the terms of a value securities escrow agreement on TSXV Form 5D (the "Value Securities Escrow Agreement"). It is expected that the Resulting Issuer, the Transfer Agent (as escrow agent for the SSRR Shares) and the holder(s) of the SSRR Shares will enter into the Value Securities Escrow Agreement.

Under the Value Securities Escrow Agreement, the escrowed SSRR Shares will be released from escrow as follows:

Except as specifically provided for in the Surplus Securities Escrow Agreement or the Value Securities Escrow Agreement, the TSXV's prior written consent must be obtained for a transfer within escrow of escrowed securities. Generally, the TSXV will only permit a transfer within escrow to be made to existing or incoming Principals. Where securities which are required to be held in escrow are held by a non-individual (a "holding company"), each holding company pursuant to the applicable escrow agreement, has agreed, or will agree, not to carry out any transactions during the currency of the escrow agreement which would result in a change of control of the holding company, without the consent of the TSXV. Any holding company must sign an undertaking to the TSXV that, to the extent reasonably possible, it will not permit or authorize any issuance of securities or transfer of securities could reasonably result in a change of control of the holding company. In addition, the TSXV may require an undertaking from any control person of the holding company not to transfer the shares of that company.

The escrow agreements described above provide, inter alia, that all voting rights attached to escrowed securities shall be exercised by the registered holder of such securities.

Auditor, Transfer Agent and Registrar

It is anticipated that the current auditors of Volatus, being S&W LLP located at 91 Skyway Avenue Suite 105, Toronto, Ontario M9W 6R5, will be appointed auditor of the Resulting Issuer upon completion of the Transaction.

The registrar and transfer agent for the Resulting Issuer Common Shares will be 3-1-100 Adelaide St W, Toronto, ON M5H 4H1 at its offices in □, Ontario.

RISK FACTORS

The Resulting Issuer's securities should be considered highly speculative due to the nature of the Resulting Issuer's business. An investor should consider carefully the risk factors set out below. In addition, investors should carefully review and consider all other information contained in this Circular (including all Schedules and Appendices hereto) before making an investment decision. An investment in securities of the Resulting Issuer should only be made by persons who can afford a significant or total loss of their investment.

An investment in the Resulting Issuer Shares should be considered highly speculative, not only due to the nature of each of Partner Jet's and Volatus' existing and proposed business and operations, but also because of the uncertainty related to completion of the Transaction and the business of the Resulting Issuer if the Transaction is completed. In addition to the other information in this Circular (including all Schedules and Appendices hereto), an investor should carefully consider each of, and the cumulative effect of, the following factors, which assume the completion of the Transaction.

Risk Factors Associated with the Transaction

No Certainty That All Conditions Precedent Will Be Satisfied

The completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions precedent set out in the Amalgamation Agreement, some of which are outside the control of Partner Jet and Volatus, including receipt of the applicable shareholder approval or TSXV approval. There can be no certainty, nor can Partner Jet or Volatus provide any assurance, that these conditions will be satisfied or, if satisfied, when they will be satisfied. The requirement to take certain actions or to agree to certain conditions to satisfy such requirements or obtain any such approvals may have a Material Adverse Effect on the business and affairs of Partner Jet, Volatus or the Resulting Issuer or the trading price of the Partner Jet Shares.

If the Transaction is not completed, the market price of the Partner Jet Shares may decline to the extent that the market price reflects a market assumption that the Transaction will be completed. Additionally, if the Transaction is not completed and either Partner Jet or Volatus decides to seek another merger or amalgamation, there can be no assurance that it will be able to find a party willing to pay an equivalent or more attractive price than the consideration to be received by the Partner Jet Shareholders pursuant to the

Transaction.

Anticipated Benefits of the Transaction May Not Be Realized

Partner Jet and Volatus are proposing to complete the Transaction to strengthen the position of the Resulting Issuer and to create the opportunity to realize certain benefits including, among other things, those set forth in this Circular. Achieving the benefits of the Transaction depends in part on the ability of the Resulting Issuer to effectively capitalize on its assets, to realize the anticipated capital and operating synergies, to profitably sequence the growth prospects of its asset base and to maximize the potential of its improved growth opportunities and capital funding opportunities as a result of the Transaction. A variety of factors, including those risk factors set forth in this Circular and the Schedules and Appendices attached hereto, may adversely affect the ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Transaction.

Failure to Obtain All Regulatory Requirements

Completion of the Transaction is subject to, among other things, the final acceptance of the TSXV and the approval of each of the Partner Jet Shareholders and the Volatus Shareholders. As of the date of this Circular, Partner Jet has received conditional acceptance of the Exchange. There can be no certainty, nor can either party provide any assurance, that these conditions will be satisfied or, if satisfied, when they will be satisfied.


Termination of Acquisition Agreements or Amalgamation Agreement

Each of Partner Jet and Volatus has the right to terminate the Amalgamation Agreement in certain circumstances. Accordingly, there is no certainty, nor can either party provide any assurance, that the Amalgamation Agreement will not be terminated before the completion of the Transaction.

Acquisitions Generally

While each of Partner Jet and Volatus conducted due diligence in connection with the Transaction, there are risks inherent in any acquisition. Specifically, there could be unknown or undisclosed risks or liabilities of a Party for which the other Party is not sufficiently indemnified pursuant to the provisions of the Amalgamation Agreement. Any such unknown or undisclosed risks or liabilities could materially and adversely affect the Resulting Issuer's financial performance and results of operations. The Resulting Issuer could encounter additional transaction and integration related costs or other factors such as the failure to realize all of the benefits anticipated in the Transaction. All of these factors could cause a delay of the anticipated accretive effect of Transaction and cause a decrease in the market price of the Resulting Issuer Common Shares.

Dilution

Following completion of the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer may issue equity securities to finance its activities, including acquisitions. If the Resulting Issuer were to issue common shares, existing holders of such shares may experience dilution in the Resulting Issuer. Moreover, when the Resulting Issuer's intention to issue additional equity securities becomes publicly known, the Resulting Issuer's share price may be materially adversely affected.

Risk Associated with the Capital Markets

Market for Securities and Volatility of Share Price

There can be no assurance that an active trading market in the Resulting Issuer's securities will be established or sustained. The market price for the Resulting Issuer's securities could be subject to wide fluctuations. Factors such as government regulation, interest rates, share price movements of peer companies and competitors, announcements of quarterly variations in operating results, revenues and costs, and sentiments toward stocks as well as overall market movements, may have a significant adverse impact on the market price of the securities of the Resulting Issuer. The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of a particular company.

Speculative Nature of Investment Risk

An investment in the securities of the Resulting Issuer carries a high degree of risk and should be considered as a speculative investment. Each of Partner Jet, Volatus and the Resulting Issuer has no history of earnings, limited cash reserves, a limited operating history, has not paid dividends, and is unlikely to pay dividends in the immediate or near future.


Liquidity and Future Financing Risk

The Resulting Issuer has limited financial resources, has no source of operating income and has no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further exploration and development of its projects. Although Partner Jet and Volatus have been successful in the past in financing activities through the sale of equity securities, there can be no assurance that it or the Resulting Issuer will be able to obtain additional financing in the future to execute its business plan. Further, current global financial conditions have been subject to increased volatility and access to public financing has been negatively impacted. This may impact the ability of the Resulting Issuer to obtain equity or debt financing in the future and, if obtained, on terms favorable to the Resulting Issuer. The Resulting Issuer will likely operate at a loss for the foreseeable future and it may require additional financing in order to fund future operations and expansion plans. The Resulting Issuer's ability to secure any required financing to sustain operations and expansion plans will depend in part upon prevailing capital market conditions and business success. There can be no assurance that the Resulting Issuer will be successful in its efforts to secure any additional financing or additional financing on terms satisfactory to management. Moreover, future activities may require the Resulting Issuer to alter its capitalization significantly and, if additional financing is raised by issuance of additional shares of the Resulting Issuer from treasury, control may change and shareholders may suffer dilution. The inability of the Resulting Issuer to access sufficient capital for its operations could have a Material Adverse Effect on the Resulting Issuer's financial condition and results of operations.

Additional Financing

The development of the Resulting Issuer's business will require substantial additional capital. When such additional capital is required, the Resulting Issuer will need to pursue various financing transactions or arrangements, including joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means. Additional financing may not be available when needed or, if available, the terms of such financing might not be favourable to the Resulting Issuer and might involve substantial dilution to existing shareholders. The Resulting Issuer may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all. A failure to raise capital when needed would have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer's business, financial condition and results of operations. Any future issuance of securities to raise required capital will likely be dilutive to existing shareholders. In addition, debt and other debt financing may involve a pledge of assets and may be senior to interests of equity holders. The Resulting Issuer may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital requirements, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. The ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets, the Resulting Issuer's status as a new enterprise with a limited history, the price of commodities and/or the loss of key management personnel. Failure to obtain sufficient financing will result in a delay or indefinite postponement of development or production at the Resulting Issuer's projects. The Resulting Issuer will require additional financing to fund its operations until positive cash flow is achieved.

Ability of Resulting Issuer to Continue as a Going Concern

The Resulting Issuer is in the development stage and is currently seeking additional capital to develop its business and operations. The Resulting Issuer's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability in the future to achieve profitable operations and, in the meantime, to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities when they become due. External financing, predominantly by the issuance of equity and debt, will be sought to finance the operations of the Resulting Issuer; however, there can be no certainty that such funds will be available at terms acceptable to the Resulting Issuer. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Resulting Issuer ability to continue as a going concern.


Negative Cash Flow from Operations

During the period ended August 31, 2021, Partner Jet had negative cash flows from operating activities. Volatus had negative operating cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021. If the Resulting Issuer has negative operating cash flows into the future, the Resulting Issuer's finances may need to be allocated to funding this negative operating cash flow. As such, the Resulting Issuer may require additional financing to fund its operations to the point where it is generating positive operating cash flows. Continued negative operating cash flows may restrict the Resulting Issuer's ability to pursue its business objectives. In particular, a continued negative cash flow may have the following consequences:

  • increasing the Resulting Issuer's vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
  • limiting the Resulting Issuer's ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, operating costs and other general corporate requirements; and
  • limiting the Resulting Issuer's flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and the industry.

Dividends

The Resulting Issuer does not anticipate paying any dividends on the Resulting Issuer Shares in the foreseeable future. Dividends paid by the Resulting Issuer would be subject to tax and, potentially, withholdings. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the Resulting Issuer's board of directors and will depend on, among other things, financial results, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Resulting Issuer's board of directors may deem relevant.

Control by Majority Shareholders

Upon the completion of the Acquisition, 30.53% and 30.53% of the Resulting Issuer's Common Shares on a fully diluted basis will be held or controlled by Glen Lynch  and Ian McDougall, respectively. The concentrated control of the Resulting Issuer may affect its governance and operations. For so long as these majority shareholders maintain their concentrated interest in the Resulting Issuer, they will collectively have significant influence on the approval of matters submitted to a majority vote of the Resulting Issuer shareholders, including, among other things, the election of the Board of Directors of the Resulting Issuer. In addition, such majority shareholders may be able to exercise significant influence over the business and affairs of the Resulting Issuer, the selection of senior management, the acquisition or disposition of the Resulting Issuer's assets, access to capital markets, the payment of dividends and any change of control of the Resulting Issuer, such as a merger or take-over. The effect of this control may be to limit the price that investors are willing to pay for the Resulting Issuer's Common Shares. In addition, a sale of Resulting Issuer's Common Shares by such majority shareholders, or the perception of the market that a sale may occur, may adversely affect the market price of the Resulting Issuer's Common Shares.

Global Financial Conditions

Global financial conditions have always been subject to volatility. This volatility may impact the ability of the Resulting Issuer to obtain equity or debt financing in the future and, if obtained, on terms favourable to the Resulting Issuer. Increased levels of volatility and market turmoil can adversely impact the Resulting Issuer's operations and the value and the price of the Resulting Issuer's Common Shares could be adversely affected.


Foreign Exchange

As the Resulting Issuer's operations expand outside of Canada and with the Resulting Issuer's suppliers being largely outside of Canada, it is expected that it may be necessary to transact sales in foreign currencies other than Canadian dollars, thus exposing the Resulting Issuer to foreign currency risk. A portion of the revenues of the Resulting Issuer are expected to be collected in US dollars and the fluctuation of value of the US dollar could impact the success of the business of the Resulting Issuer and its financial results.

Limited Public Company Experience

The individuals who will constitute the Resulting Issuer's management teams have limited experience managing a publicly traded company and limited experience complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. The Resulting Issuer's management teams may not successfully or efficiently manage a public company that is subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations.

Future Sales of Resulting Issuer Common Shares by Existing Shareholders

Sales of a substantial number of Resulting Issuer's Common Shares in the public market could occur at any time following the completion of the Acquisition. These sales, or the market perception that the holders of a large number of Resulting Issuer's Common Shares intend to sell the Resulting Issuer's Common Shares, could reduce the market price of the Resulting Issuer's Common Shares.

In addition to the escrow conditions imposed on the Resulting Issuer Common Shares held by certain shareholders of the Resulting Issuer as set forth in this prospectus, certain additional contractual restrictions and conditions will also apply to certain shareholders.

Dilution of Shareholders of the Resulting Issuer

The Resulting Issuer will be authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares for the consideration and on those terms and conditions as shall be established by the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer without shareholder approval. The Resulting Issuer will not be restricted from issuing additional Common Shares, including securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, Common Shares. Because the Resulting Issuer's decisions to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond the Resulting Issuer's control, they cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of any future offerings, or the prices at which such offerings may be affected. Additional equity offerings may dilute the holdings of its existing shareholders or reduce the market price of their common stock, or both. Holders of the Resulting Issuer's Common Shares are not entitled to pre-emptive rights or other protections against dilution. New investors also may have rights, preferences, and privileges that are senior to, and that adversely affect the Resulting Issuer's then-current holders of Common Shares. Additionally, if the Resulting Issuer raise additional capital by making offerings of debt or preference shares, upon liquidation of the Resulting Issuer, holders of the debt securities and preference shares, and lenders with respect to other borrowings, may receive distributions of their available assets before the holders of the Resulting Issuer's Common Shares.

Risks Related to the Business of Partner Jet, Volatus and the Resulting Issuer

Competition

Partner Jet operates in an extremely competitive environment in the Greater Toronto Area, competing against nine other business aircraft operators in a mature market. The situation has been further impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic with aircraft owners and charter flying activity significantly reduced. As the industry slowly recovers from the pandemic, Partner Jet's ability to return to pre-pandemic flight levels it is uncertain whether how Partner Jet will continue to perform relative to the other business aircraft operators in the market.


The industry in which Volatus operates, and in which the Resulting Issuer will operate, is very competitive. Numerous factors could affect the Resulting Issuer's competitive position.

The Resulting Issuer may face intense competition from other companies, some of which can be expected to have longer operating histories and more financial resources and marketing experience than the Resulting Issuer. Increased competition by larger and better financed competitors could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Resulting Issuer. Several of these companies may have greater name recognition and well-established relationships with some of the Resulting Issuer's target customers. Furthermore, these potential competitors may be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies and offer more attractive terms to customers than the Resulting Issuer are able to offer. As such, the Resulting Issuer may face increasing price pressure from competitors and customers. In addition, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships amongst themselves or with third parties to compete more effectively. Existing and potential competitors may also develop enhancements to, or future generations of, competitive products and services that will have better performance features than the Resulting Issuer's products and services.

As a result of the early stage of the industry in which Volatus operates, and in which the Resulting Issuer will operate, the Resulting Issuer can expect to face additional competition from new entrants. To remain competitive, the Resulting Issuer will require a continued high level of investment in marketing, sales and customer support.  The Resulting Issuer may not have sufficient resources to maintain marketing, sales and customer support efforts on a competitive basis which could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Resulting Issuer.

Partner Jet's Business Operations depend on Licenses

Essential to Partner Jet's operations is the 704 commercial license granted by Transport Canada to Partner Jet Inc. This licencing permits Partner Jet Inc. to operate a domestic and International air taxi service utilizing small jet aircraft and to transport passengers on a charter basis between Canada and other countries.

Ability to Generate Positive Cash Flows

FY2021 yearend results are forecasted to remain negative. There can be no assurance that Partner Jet's business and operations will enable the Company to become profitable in future periods.

Liquidity Risk

Partner Jet is exposed to liquidity risk to the extent that it is required to meet its financial obligations as these become due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient cash and other current financial assets to meet its obligations when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or damage to the Company's reputation. There can be no assurance that Partner Jet's will be able to meet its future financial obligations as these become due.

Controlling Customer Costs

Sustained cost control remains critical to attracting and retaining management customers on a go-forward basis. There can be no assurance that Partner Jet's will be able to sustain cost controls at current values.


High Concentration of Customer Contracts

Partner Jet is exposed to customer concentration risk as the Company's ability to continue its operations depends heavily on the retention of the existing contracts with independent corporations for the care, custody and control of their aircraft.

Industry Risk and Economic Sensitivity

The Canadian economy continues to be affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and significant uncertainties remain. Air travel both with commercial scheduled and private aviation service has severely been impacted. This uncertainty in the economy has and will continue to pose a major challenge to the ongoing operations of all travel related companies. The Company cannot fully anticipate all the impacts of COVID-19 on its operations and results, or precisely when the situation will improve. The Company has implemented a series of operational, commercial and financial measures, including cost reduction, aimed at preserving its cash. The volatile effect of this COVID19 pandemic on the economy and the Company is not currently determinable but will pose a major business risk on a go forward basis.

Fluctuations in Fuel Prices

Partner Jet requires significant quantities of fuel for its aircraft. Partner Jet is therefore exposed to commodity price risk associated with variations in the market price for petroleum products. The price of fuel is sensitive to, among other things, the price of crude oil, which has increased dramatically over the past few years, refining costs, and the cost of delivering the fuel. An extremely high fuel cost could adversely affect customer volumes as other cheaper modes of transportation are sought.

Government Regulations

Partner Jet's operations are subject to complex aviation, transportation, environmental, labour, employment and other laws, treaties and regulations. These laws and regulations generally require the Company to maintain and comply with a wide variety of certificates, permits, licenses and other approvals.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk as certain of its operating activities are transacted in US dollars, resulting in the holding of related financial instruments in US dollars. Management has not deemed it necessary to use derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Severe Weather Patterns

Partner Jet may experience an increase in costs or inability to operate its business as a result of severe weather conditions or natural or manmade disasters, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations or financial condition. In the event that Partner Jet is still able to provide services to its customers during a period of severe weather, particularly during any protracted period of time, there may be forced flight cancellations, or Partner Jet may not be able to offer flights in a timely manner.

Volatus has a Limited Operating History in Evolving Industry

Volatus has a limited operating history in an evolving industry that may not develop as expected. Volatus began carrying on business in 2019 and is subject to many of the risks common to early-stage enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial, and other resources and lack of significant revenues.  There is no assurance that Volatus or the Resulting Issuer will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders' investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of the early stage of operations.


Volatus could incur substantial product liability claims relating to its products.

As a manufacturer and service provider in the unmanned aerial vehicle sector, and with aircraft and aviation sector companies under increased scrutiny, claims could be brought against the Resulting Issuer if use or misuse of one of its products causes, or merely appears to have caused, personal injury or death. In addition, defects in the Resulting Issuer's products may lead to other potential life, health and property risks. Any claims against the Resulting Issuer, regardless of their merit, could severely harm the financial condition of the Resulting Issuer and strain management and other resources.  Volatus is unable to predict if the Resulting Issuer will be able to obtain or maintain product liability insurance for any products that may be approved for marketing.

Ownership and Protection of Intellectual Property

The intellectual property used by Volatus in its business is not protected by patents or registered design rights, which means that Volatus cannot preclude or inhibit competitors from entering the same market if they develop the same or similar technology independently. Volatus is particularly reliant, therefore, on copyright, trade secret protection and confidentiality and license agreements with its employees, suppliers, consultants and others to protect its intellectual property rights. Although Volatus has taken steps it believes to be consistent with industry practice to reduce these risks, such steps may be inadequate. If the Resulting Issuer fails to register, renew or enforce intellectual property rights, or there is any unauthorised use or significant impairment of the Resulting Issuer's intellectual property rights, the value of its products and services could be diminished, the Resulting Issuer's competitive position could be adversely affected and its business may suffer. In addition, third parties may independently discover the Resulting Issuer's trade secrets or access proprietary information or systems and, in such cases, the Resulting Issuer may not be able to rely on any intellectual property rights to prevent the use of such trade secrets, information or systems by such parties.

In order to protect its intellectual property, the Resulting Issuer may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect its rights. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to determine and enforce the scope of the Resulting Issuer's proprietary rights and the outcome of such litigation could not be guaranteed. Further, any efforts by the Resulting Issuer to enforce its intellectual property rights may be met with defences, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of its intellectual property rights. Failure to prevent the use of such secrets, information or systems by such third parties could materially adversely affect the business.

Exposure to risks relating to non-performing strategic suppliers and reseller contracts and agreements, including delays

Volatus' ability to serve its customers in a timely manner depends on the ability of its strategic suppliers and resellers to perform their obligations and deliver their products and/or services in a timely manner and in accordance with contractual requirements. Volatus relies, and the Resulting Issuer will rely, to a substantial extent on supplier and reseller contracts and agreements. Any delay in delivery of parts and materials by original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") will entail a hindrance in the Resulting Issuer's ability to fulfil its contractual obligations. In addition, changes in pricing, incentives or other terms or non-performance of strategic suppliers and resellers could materially adversely affect the Resulting Issuer's ability to perform and subject the Resulting Issuer to additional liabilities. Any non-performance by OEMs, suppliers or resellers, could have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer's business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.


Supplier risk

Volatus acquires most of the products it sells and the components for the manufacture of its products from suppliers and subcontractors.  Supply of certain products and components is highly concentrated with a small number of suppliers.  Such suppliers and subcontractors may not be committed or obligated to sell products to Volatus or the Resulting Issuer. Suppliers of some of the components may require the Resulting Issuer to place orders with significant lead-times to assure supply in accordance with its manufacturing requirements.  Any lack of working capital on the part of the Resulting Issuer may cause it to delay the placement of such orders and may result in delays in supply. Delays in supply may significantly hurt the Resulting Issuer's ability to fulfill our contractual obligations and may significantly hurt its business and result of operations. In addition, the Resulting Issuer may not be able to continue to obtain such components from these suppliers on satisfactory commercial terms. Disruptions of its manufacturing operations would ensue if the Resulting Issuer was required to obtain components from alternative sources, which would have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Emerging Industry

Volatus' products and services are in new and rapidly evolving markets. The commercial drone market is in early stages of customer adoption. Accordingly, the Resulting Issuer's business and future prospects may be difficult to evaluate. The Resulting Issuer cannot accurately predict the extent to which demand for its products and services will develop and/or increase, if at all. The challenges, risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in rapidly evolving markets could impact the Resulting Issuer's ability to do the following:

  • generate sufficient revenue to obtain and/or maintain profitability;
  • acquire and maintain market share;
  • achieve or manage growth in operations;
  • develop and renew contracts;
  • attract and retain additional engineers and other highly-qualified personnel;
  • successfully develop and commercially market products and services;
  • adapt to new or changing policies and spending priorities of governments and government agencies; and
  • access additional capital when required or on reasonable terms.

If the Resulting Issuer fails to address these and other challenges, risks and uncertainties successfully, its business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially harmed.

Difficulty to Forecast

Volatus, and in the future the Resulting Issuer, must rely largely on its own market research to forecast sales, as detailed forecasts are not generally obtainable from other sources at this preliminary stage of the industry. A failure in the demand for its products or services to materialize as a result of competition, technological change or other factors could have a material adverse effect on the businesses, results of operations and financial condition of the Resulting Issuer.

Industry Growth

There can be no assurance that Volatus' or the Resulting Issuer's targeted vertical and geographic markets will grow, or that they will be successful in establishing new vertical and geographic markets. If the various markets in which the Resulting Issuer's products and services compete fail to grow, or grow more slowly than anticipated, or if they are unable to establish themselves in new markets, their growth plans could be materially adversely affected.


Rapid Technology Developments

The industries within which Volatus operates and the Resulting Issuer will operate are characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions and short product life cycles. To keep pace with the technological developments, achieve product acceptance and remain relevant to users and therefore attractive to customers and infrastructure providers, the Resulting Issuer will need to continue developing new and upgraded functionality of its offerings and adapt to new business environments and competing technologies and offerings developed by its competitors. The process of developing new technology is complex and uncertain. To the extent the Resulting Issuer is not able to adapt to new technologies and/or standards, experiences delays in implementing adaptive measures or fails to accurately predict emerging technological trends and the changing needs of end-users, this could have a Material Adverse Effect on the Resulting Issuer's prospects, business, financial condition or results of operations.

Volatus has developed and is continuing to develop a number of offerings incorporating advanced technologies and the Resulting Issuer will pursue those offerings that it expects to have the best chance for success based on its expectations of future market demand. The development and application of new technologies involve time, substantial costs and risks. There can be no certainty that the Resulting Issuer will be able to develop new offerings and technologies to keep up-to-date with developments in the industries within which it operates and, in particular, to launch such offerings or technologies in a timely manner or at all. There can be no certainty that such offerings will be popular with end-users or that such offerings or new technologies will be reliable, robust and not susceptible to failure. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer's prospects, business, financial condition or results of operations.

Defects in Offerings

Volatus' product and service offerings are highly complex and sophisticated and may contain design defects or errors that are difficult to detect and correct. Errors or defects may be found in new or existing offerings and, even if discovered, the Resulting Issuer may not be able to successfully correct such errors or defects in a timely manner or at all. The occurrence of errors and failures in the Resulting Issuer's offerings could result in loss of or delay in end user acceptance of its offerings and may harm the reputation of the Resulting Issuer. Correcting such errors and failures in its offerings could require significant expenditures by the Resulting Issuer, involving cost or time and effort of personnel. The consequences of such errors, failures and claims could have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer's prospects, business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risk of Accidents

An accident involving a drone or UAV provided by Volatus, the Resulting Issuer or another manufacturer could cause regulatory agencies around the world to tighten restrictions on the use of drones and UAVs, particularly over populated areas, and could cause the public to lose confidence in the Resulting Issuer's products. There are risks associated with unmanned systems and services, flight control, communications and/or other advanced technologies, and there may be accidents associated with these technologies, including crashes with or without personal injury. The safety of certain cutting-edge technologies depends in part on user interaction, and users may not be accustomed to using such technologies. The Resulting Issuer could face unfavorable and tightened regulatory control and intervention on the use of UAVs and other advanced technologies and be subject to liability and government scrutiny to the extent accidents associated with the Resulting Issuer's systems occur. Should a high-profile accident occur resulting in substantial casualty or damages, either involving the Resulting Issuer's products or products offered by other companies, public and political confidence in and regulatory attitudes toward UAVs could deteriorate. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect the Resulting Issuer's reputation, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow, and/or future prospects.


Variable Revenues and Earnings

The revenues and earnings of the Resulting Issuer may fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which could affect the market price of the Resulting Issuer's Common Shares. Revenues and earnings may vary quarter to quarter as a result of a number of factors, including the timing of releases of new products or services, activities of the Resulting Issuer's competitors, cyclical fluctuations, concentration in the Resulting Issuer's customer bases, transition periods associated with the migration to new technologies, impairment of goodwill or intangible assets which may result in a significant change to earnings in the period in which an impairment is determined, and operating expenses that are generally fixed in the short-term and therefore difficult to rapidly adjust to different levels of business. Any of the factors listed above could cause significant variations to the Resulting Issuer's revenues, gross margins and earnings in any given quarter.

Internal Controls

Internal controls over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS. However, internal controls over financial reporting are not guaranteed to provide absolute assurance with regard to the reliability of financial reporting and financial statements.

Regulatory Risks

There is currently a limited legislation/regulatory framework in place specific to the beyond visual line-of-sight operations of commercial drones in Canada or in the United States. All such operations are approved on a case by case basis, with company experience and safety record being the major factors in gaining such approvals. Volatus has secured the services of Canadian and United States drone regulatory experts in assessing the regulatory regimes of each county and who work with the applicable regulators to secure flight approvals.  No significant concerns have arisen, however there can be no assurance that such jurisdictions have enacted or will enact legislation or that, if enacted, the Resulting Issuer will be permitted or qualified to operate under such legislation. The Resulting Issuer's business plan assumes a legislative regime that allows such plans to be realized. If the Resulting Issuer cannot expand its operations in Canada, the United States or other international jurisdictions through local partners or otherwise or cannot fulfill its international business plan within the timeframes established by the Resulting Issuer, it could have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Regulatory approvals

Transport Canada is responsible for establishing, managing, and developing safety and security standards and regulations for civil aviation in Canada, and includes unmanned civil aviation (drones). Civil operations include law enforcement, scientific research, or use by private sector companies for commercial purposes. The Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) govern civil aviation safety and security in Canada, and by extension govern operation of drones in Canada to an acceptable level of safety. While Transport Canada has been a leader in the development of regulations for the commercial use of remotely piloted aircraft systems ("RPAS"), and continues to move forward rapidly with its regulatory development, it has acknowledged the challenge of regulations keeping pace with the rapid development in technology and the growing demand for commercial RPAS use, particularly in the beyond visual line-of-sight environment. In 2012, the Canadian Aviation Regulation Advisory Council UAS working group released its Phase 2 report which outlined a proposed set of revision to the CARs to permit Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations. This report was the basis for the recently released NPA on lower risk beyond visual line-of-sight. Failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals from Transport Canada or other governmental agencies, including the granting of certain SFOCs, or limitations put on the use of RPAS in response to public safety concerns, may prevent the Resulting Issuer from testing or operating its aircraft and/or expanding its sales which could have an adverse impact on the Resulting Issuer's business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.


Geographical Expansion

Volatus faces challenges in expanding into new geographic regions. Volatus currently operates in Canada and the United States, but the Resulting Issuer may in the future seek to expand its presence in new geographic regions. Any international expansion of the Resulting Issuer's technologies, products and services will expose the Resulting Issuer to risks relating to staffing and managing cross-border operations; increased costs and difficulty protecting intellectual property and sensitive data; tariffs and other trade barriers; differing and potentially adverse tax consequences; increased and conflicting regulatory compliance requirements, including with respect to data privacy and security; lack of acceptance of the Resulting Issuer's technologies, products and services; challenges caused by distance, language, and cultural differences; exchange rate risk; and political instability. Accordingly, any efforts by the Resulting Issuer to expand its operations may not be successful, which could limit the Resulting Issuer's ability to grow its business.

Foreign Political and Legal Risk

Volatus believes that a significant amount of its business opportunities lie outside of Canada, particularly in the United States. Many of the third party products sold by Volatus and a majority of the components needed to build the products that Volatus expects to manufacture are made and purchased from countries outside of Canada, particularly in Asia.  Operating in foreign countries and relying on suppliers in foreign countries exposes the Resulting Issuer to political risks, country risks and currency risks in many forms. In addition, in jurisdictions outside of Canada, there can be no assurance that any market for the Resulting Issuer's products will develop. The Resulting Issuer may face new or unexpected risks or significantly increase its exposure to one or more existing risk factors, including economic instability, changes in laws and regulations, and the effects of competition. These factors may limit the Resulting Issuer's ability to successfully expand its operations into such jurisdictions, may interfere with its supply chains and may have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer's business, financial condition and results of operations. 

Inherent risks with conducting foreign operations include, but are not limited to: high rates of inflation; extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates, military repression; war or civil war; social and labour unrest; organized crime; hostage taking; terrorism; violent crime; expropriation and nationalization; renegotiation or nullification of existing licenses, approvals, permits and contracts; changes in taxation policies; restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation; and changing political norms, currency controls and governmental regulations that favour or require the Resulting Issuer to award contracts in, employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, the jurisdiction.

Governments in certain foreign jurisdictions intervene in their economies, sometimes frequently, and occasionally make significant changes in policies and regulations. Changes, if any, in investment policies or shifts in political attitude in the countries in which the Resulting Issuer will operate or purchase products from may adversely affect the Resulting Issuer's operations or profitability. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, currency remittance, importation of product and supplies, income and other taxes, royalties, the repatriation of profits, expropriation of property, foreign investment, maintenance of concessions, licenses, approvals and permits, environmental matters, land use, land claims of local people, water use and workplace safety. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of licenses, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests.


Factors which may Prevent Realization of Growth Targets

Volatus is currently in the early development stage and expects that, in the future, even if revenues continue to increase, its revenue growth may not continue at the same pace or may decline in the future. There are risks associated with Volatus' growth strategy, and such strategies may not succeed, as they can be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including some that are discussed elsewhere in these risk factors, as well as the following:

  • non-performance by third party contractors;
  • increases in materials or labour costs;
  • breakdown, aging or failure of equipment or processes;
  • contractor or operator errors;
  • labour disputes, disruptions or declines in productivity; and
  • inability to attract sufficient numbers of qualified workers.

As a result, there is a risk that the Resulting Issuer may not have the capacity to meet customer demand or to meet future demand when it arises. In addition, the Resulting Issuer, expects to continue to expend substantial financial and other resources on:

  • personnel, including significant increases to the total compensation as the Resulting Issuer pays its employees as it grows employee headcount;
  • marketing, including expenses relating to increased direct marketing efforts;
  • office and facility costs, as the Resulting Issuer increases the space it needs for its growing employee base; and
  • general administration, including legal, accounting and other compliance expenses related to being a public company.

If the Resulting Issuer cannot manage growth effectively it could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Resulting Issuer.

Brand Development

The brand identities that Volatus has developed and that the Resulting Issuer will continue to develop has and will significantly contribute to the success of the Resulting Issuer's business. Maintaining and enhancing Volatus' current brand is critical to expanding the Resulting Issuer's customer base. Volatus believes that the importance of brand recognition will continue to increase due to the relatively low barrier to entry in the industry. The Resulting Issuer's brand may be negatively impacted by a number of factors, including product malfunctions and data privacy and security issues. If the Resulting Issuer fails to maintain and enhance its brand, or incurs excessive expenses in this effort, it could have a Material Adverse Effect on the Resulting Issuer's prospects, businesses, financial condition or results of operations. Maintaining and enhancing the Resulting Issuer brand will depend largely on the Resulting Issuer's ability to continue to provide high-quality products and services, which the Resulting Issuer may not continue to do successfully.


Privacy Laws Compliance

Volatus collects and stores personal information about its users and partners and is responsible for protecting that information from privacy breaches. A privacy breach may occur through procedural or process failure, information technology malfunction, or deliberate unauthorized intrusions. Theft of data for competitive purposes, particularly user and partner lists, is an ongoing risk whether perpetrated via employee collusion or negligence or through deliberate cyber-attack. Any such theft or privacy breach could have a Material Adverse Effect on the Resulting Issuer's businesses, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, there are a number of federal and provincial laws protecting the confidentiality of personal information and restricting the use and disclosure of that protected information. In particular, the privacy rules under the Personal Information Protection and Electronics Documents Act (Canada) ("PIPEDA"), protect personal information by limiting their use and disclosure of personal information. If the Resulting Issuer was found to be in violation of the privacy or security rules under PIPEDA or other laws protecting the confidentiality of personal information, they could be subject to sanctions and civil or criminal penalties, which could increase its liabilities, harm its reputation and have a Material Adverse Effect on the businesses, financial condition or results of operations of the Resulting Issuer.

Cyber-threats

Volatus and its customers are subject to cyber-attacks from cybercriminals. Rapid changes in attack vectors makes it difficult to stop attacks and adapt to new threats and the increased social hacking creates a cyber-threat risk for the Resulting Issuer. Information technology security breaches could lead to shutdowns or disruptions of the Resulting Issuer's systems and potential unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or data, including personal data. The Resulting Issuer may be required to expend significant capital or other resources to protect against the threat of security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches. The theft or unauthorized use or publication of confidential information or other proprietary business information, or privacy-related obligations or third parties, or any compromise of security that results in an unauthorized release, transfer of use of personally identifiable information or other customer data as a result of an information technology security incident, could adversely affect the Resulting Issuer's competitive position and reputation, and reduce marketplace acceptance of the Resulting Issuer's products, services and solutions. If the Resulting Issuer is unable to protect its products and services from cyberthreats, this could have a Material Adverse Effect on the Resulting Issuer's business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Reputational Risk

The nature of the Resulting Issuer's operations and national and international operations entails that the Resulting Issuer is exposed to the risk of allegations which, whether they are true or not, could damage the Resulting Issuer's trust, standing and reputation towards its shareholders, partners, new investors, suppliers, customers and/or other business relations. For example, negative publicity may ensue if the Resulting Issuer is accused of non-compliance with regulatory requirements, involvement in bribery, unsafe products etc. The Resulting Issuer's standing and reputation may also be negatively affected by the non-compliance of its suppliers, customers and resellers. Negative publicity or a bad reputation may also affect the Resulting Issuer's contacts with regulators, causing regulatory authorities to have a negative attitude towards the Resulting Issuer. If the Resulting Issuer's standing and reputation is harmed, then it could have a Material Adverse Effect on the Resulting Issuer's business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.


Future Capital Requirements

The Resulting Issuer may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings in order to: (i) fund ongoing operations; (ii) take advantage of opportunities, including more rapid expansion of the Resulting Issuer's business or the acquisition of complementary businesses; or (iii) respond to competitive pressures. Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity may dilute the Resulting Issuer's shareholders' ownership. Capital raised through debt financing would require the Resulting Issuer to make periodic interest payments and may impose restrictive covenants on the conduct of the Resulting Issuer's business. Furthermore, additional financings may not be available on terms favourable to the Resulting Issuer, or at all. A failure to obtain additional funding could prevent the Resulting Issuer from making expenditures that may be required to implement the Resulting Issuer's growth strategy and grow or maintain the Resulting Issuer's operations.

Operating Risk and Insurance Coverage

Volatus has liability insurance coverage for its products and business operations. However, Volatus and the Resulting Issuer may not be able to secure additional product liability insurance coverage on acceptable terms or at reasonable costs when needed. A successful liability claim against the Resulting Issuer due to injuries or damages suffered by customers could materially and adversely affect the Resulting Issuer's financial conditions, results of operations, cash flow, reputation and/or prospects. Even if unsuccessful, such a claim could cause the Resulting Issuer adverse publicity, require substantial costs to defend, and divert the time and attention of management. Furthermore, any jurisdiction relevant to the Resulting Issuer's business may impose requirements for maintaining certain minimum liability or other insurance relating to the operation of drones or UAVs. Such insurance policies could be costly, which would reduce the demand for the Resulting Issuer's products and services. Alternatively, certain insurance products that would be desirable to drone and UAV operators may not be commercially available, which would increase the risks of operating the Resulting Issuer's products and also reduce the demand for them. Further, changes in market conditions may increase insurance premiums, which could adversely affect the Resulting Issuer's financial conditions, results of operations, cash flow and/or prospects.

Dependence on Key Employees

Due to the technical nature of its business and the dynamic market in which Volatus competes, the Resulting Issuer's success will depend in part on its ability to attract and retain highly skilled manufacturing, design, managerial, marketing, sales and technical personnel. In particular, the Resulting Issuer's future success will depend in part on the continued services of each of their proposed executive officers and other key employees. Competition for qualified personnel in the industry in which the Resulting Issuer will operate is intense. The loss of one or more key personnel may have a significant adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer's sales, operations and profits.

Litigation

The Resulting Issuer may become party to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business which could adversely affect its business.  Should any litigation in which the Resulting Issuer becomes involved be determined against it, such a decision could adversely affect the Resulting Issuer's ability to continue operating and the market price for the Resulting Issuer's Common Shares and could use significant resources.  Even if the Resulting Issuer is involved in litigation and wins, litigation can redirect significant company resources.


Future Acquisitions

As part of the Resulting Issuer's business strategy, they may attempt to acquire businesses that it believes are a strategic fit with its businesses. The Resulting Issuer may not be able to complete such acquisitions on favourable terms, if at all. Any future acquisitions may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures, and may absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of its businesses. Since the Resulting Issuer may not be able to accurately predict these difficulties and expenditures, these costs may outweigh the value they realize from a future acquisition, and any acquisition the Resulting Issuer completes could be viewed negatively by its customers. Future acquisitions could result in issuances of securities that would dilute shareholders' ownership interest, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, amortization of expenses related to other intangible assets, and the incurrence of large, immediate write-offs.

Catastrophic Events

Events beyond the control of the Resulting Issuer may damage its ability to accept customers' orders, maintain its production and sales or perform its services. In addition, these catastrophic events may negatively affect customers' demand for the Resulting Issuer's products and services. Such events include, but are not limited to, fires, earthquakes, terrorist attacks, outbreak of disease or pandemics and natural disasters. Despite any precautions the Resulting Issuer may take, system interruptions and delays could occur if there is a natural disaster, and such disruptions could harm the Resulting Issuer's ability to run its business and cause lengthy delays which could harm business, results of operations and financial condition of the Resulting Issuer.

The Resulting Issuer's business, operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic or the outbreak of other epidemics, pandemics or other health crises. Such impacts could include, with respect to its operations, its suppliers' operations and its customers' operations, forced closures, mandated social distancing, isolation and/or quarantines, impacts of declared states of emergency, public health emergency and similar declarations and could include other increased government regulations, a material reduction in demand for the Resulting Issuer's products and services, reduced sales, higher costs for new capital, licencing delays, increased operating expenses, delayed performance of contractual obligations, product shipping delays, and potential supply and staff shortages, all of which would be expected to negatively impact the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Resulting Issuer and its ability to satisfy its obligations.  The risks to the Resulting Issuer of such public health crises also include risks to employee health and safety and a slowdown or temporary suspension of operations in the Resulting Issuer's facilities or a supplier's facilities. Should a customer, employee or visitor in any of the Resulting Issuer's facilities or a supplier's facilities become infected with a serious illness that has the potential to spread rapidly, this could place the Resulting Issuer's customers and workforce at risk.

Att'n: Sam Ingram, Chair

Dear Mr. Ingram:

Re: Fairness Opinion Regarding the Proposed Amalgamation Between of Partner Jet Corp. and Volatus Aerospace Corporation.

INTRODUCTION

1. We have been advised that pursuant to a non-binding letter of intent ("LOI") dated February 25, 2021, Partner Jet Corp. ("PJET" of the "Company") and Volatus Aerospace Corporation ("Volatus") propose to enter into a business combination (the "Proposed Amalgamation") between PJET and Volatus on June 30, 2021 (the "Effective Date") subject to approval of the shareholders (the "Shareholders' Approval") of PJET and Volatus to form Amalco ("Amalco"). The terms of the Proposed Amalgamation are outlined in the amalgamation agreement1 between PJET and Volatus dated June 30, 2021 (the "Amalgamation Agreement") which will be consummated at a later date subject to the provisions of the Proposed Amalgamation, filings, submissions and approvals from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV").

2. Prior to completing the Proposed Amalgamation, the Special Committee of the Board of

Directors of PJET ("Special Committee of the Board of Directors") has requested that we, as independent valuators and accountants, provide an opinion concluding whether or not the Proposed Amalgamation is fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of PJET. Accordingly, the Board of Directors requested that Kalex Valuations Inc. provide it with such Fairness Opinion (the "Fairness Opinion").

3. In preparing the Fairness Opinion, we have prepared a comprehensive report of the fair market value of 100% of the equity of PJET as at February 28, 2021 (the "Valuation Date").

The Valuation Date was selected as it coincides with the latest interim financial results of PJET.

4. We have not been engaged or requested to provide an independent valuation of Volatus or Amalco for the purposes of the Fairness Opinion. Instead, we are relying on the $50,000,000 pricing of Amalco that was determined by Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. (the "Lead Agent") in the course of the proposed private placement offering for the shares of Amalco (as discussed later in this report).

5. All figures referenced in this report are in Canadian dollars unless indicated otherwise.

6. The opinions expressed herein are solely the opinions of Kalex Valuations Inc. In preparing the Fairness Opinion, Kalex Valuations Inc. has complied with the standards outlined by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators, including Practice Standards No. 510, 520 and 530 and Practice Standards No. 110, 120 and 130 and Appendix A to Standard No. 110.

7. The last date on which we collected information and documentation relating to this engagement was June 30, 2021.

PURPOSE

8. We have been advised that our Fairness Opinion will be used by the Special Committee of the Board of Directors in determining whether to recommend to the PJET Shareholders to vote to accept the Proposed Amalgamation.

9. Kalex Valuations Inc. was formally retained on March 18, 2021 to provide valuation assistance to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors in relation to the valuation of PJET.

10. Subsequently, the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of PJET contacted Kalex Valuations Inc. regarding the potential need for a fairness opinion on May 5, 2021. Kalex Valuations Inc. was formally retained to undertake the Fairness Opinion and an engagement letter was sent on June 22, 2021 and signed on June 29, 2021.

11. Kalex Valuations Inc. understands that the Fairness Opinion (or excerpts thereof) may be included in the materials to be distributed to the shareholders of PJET.

2


12. Kalex Valuations Inc. has neither been asked to formally comment upon the value of Volatus nor the fairness of the Proposed Amalgamation to the shareholders of Volatus, nor does the firm have any responsibility to the shareholders or management, or directors of Volatus.

CREDENTIALS OF KALEX VALUATIONS INC.

13. Kalex Valuations Inc. is a firm of professionals with experience in business valuations, litigation support, corporate finance and forensic investigation.

14. Melanie Russell, CPA, CA, CBV, CIM, CFE, CFF, ABV was in charge of this Fairness Opinion. Please see Appendix B for her Curriculum Vitae.

STATEMENT OF INDEPENDENCE AND DISINTERESTEDNESS

15. No member of our firm has any stake, directly or indirectly, in the results of our Fairness Opinion. Our fee for this assignment is based solely on hours spent, and is in no way contingent upon the results of this engagement or the use of this report for the stated purpose. Accordingly, we confirm our independence and objectivity in this matter.

16. Kalex Valuations Inc. has had no role in developing the terms of the Proposed Amalgamation and its entitlement to fees is not in any way contingent upon its conclusions of the Fairness Opinion or the completion of the Proposed Amalgamation. It has not acted as an auditor to PJET, or any of their respective affiliates or associates, and has not entered into any specific arrangements or understandings regarding any future business dealings with such entities.

17. Accordingly, Kalex Valuations Inc. should be considered to be independent of the parties to the Proposed Amalgamation.

DEFINITIONS

Fair Market Value

18. For our purposes, fair market value is defined as the highest price available in an open and unrestricted market between informed, prudent parties acting at arm's length and under no compulsion to act, expressed in terms of money or money's worth, represented by Canadian dollars.

3


19. It is important to note that while fair market value anticipates the "highest price", an intrinsic value is generally calculated unless there is evidence available as to the existence of special purchasers who will pay some amount in excess of intrinsic value. Intrinsic values are notional values based upon rates of return required by a potential purchaser, given economic and business conditions existing at the Valuation Date, without consideration of possible synergistic benefits, or economies of scale, that might accrue in differing degrees to arm's length purchasers.

20. We have not exposed PJET, Volatus or Amalco, their assets or any of their equity interests to the market in order to determine whether or not there are any special purchasers who would achieve synergies or economic value-added from acquiring these assets.

En bloc value

21. En bloc value is the value of the ownership interests of a business viewed as a whole.

Tangible asset backing

22. Tangible asset backing is an amount equal to the aggregate value of all tangible and identifiable intangible assets, where the latter have values that can be separately determined, and where the value of both tangible and identifiable intangible assets has been determined under a going concern assumption (i.e., on the basis of 'value in use' as one component of going concern value, as opposed to market value or 'value in exchange' for those same assets sold on a piecemeal basis for alternate use), minus all liabilities.

Redundant assets

23. Redundant assets are assets which are excess to (and which therefore do not influence) the going concern value of the operating assets of a business. These assets can be withdrawn by a vendor before closing of a sale transaction, or by a purchaser after closing, without negatively impacting the value of the entity's business operations.

Enterprise value

24. The enterprise value is the total value of a business including both its structural debt and equity components.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

25. Kalex Valuations Inc. has carried out such review, research and analysis as it considered necessary in preparing the Fairness Opinion. The Engagement Agreement imposed no limitations on the scope of review undertaken by Kalex Valuations Inc.

26. In preparing the Fairness Opinion, Kalex Valuations Inc. has, among other things, reviewed, considered, analyzed and relied upon:

27. In addition, we have held discussions with the Board of Directors of PJET, Volatus management, and representatives of Echelon Wealth Partners Inc., who acted as the lead syndicate agent for the proposed private placement of Amalco (as discussed later in this report).

PARTNER JET CORP.

28. PJET, through its subsidiary Partner Jet Inc., provides full-service aircraft management, private aircraft charter sales and flight support services capable of operating a wide range of corporate aircraft. PJET's revenue is generated through aircraft management contracts, charter and sub-charter activities, and aircraft maintenance contracts.

29. PJET is incorporated under the laws of Ontario and its shares currently trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (PJT:TSX-V). As such, it has access to liquidity and capital that would otherwise not be available to Volatus shareholders.

Services

30. PJET's revenues are derived primarily from three sources:

(a) Aircraft management services, which have historically accounted for approximately 50% of total revenues;

(b) Charter activities, which have historically accounted for approximately 30% of total revenues; and,

(c) Aircraft maintenance services, which have historically accounted for approximately 20% of total revenues.

Historical Financial Results

31. PJET's historical income statements and balance sheets, as reported, have been summarized on Schedules 5 and 6.

7


32. From fiscal 2017 to 2020, PJET's sales have declined from approximately $13,900,000 in 2017 to approximately $6,700,000 in fiscal 2020. We understand that this decrease was the result of a decline in demand for aircraft management services and a decline in air travel resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

33. Based on our research, we understand the following to be true regarding the nature of PJET's industry2.

34. PJET operates under the NAICS code 48819 "Aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul in Canada". This industry services, repairs, overhauls and maintains aircraft, except on a

factory basis, while also providing ancillary support services for air transportation operations including inspections and testing, among other activities2.

35. The total revenue in this industry in 2020 in Canada was 6.6 billion2.

36. Industry performance is directly tethered to air traffic patterns, which increases wear and tear on existing aircraft and foments investment into new fleet and aircraft. Since all aircraft require regular maintenance, an increase in the number of flight hours per aircraft facilitates an increase in demand for aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul ("MRO") services. Prior to the coronavirus outbreak, a slowdown in investment in 2016 dampened growth for two years, as geopolitical tensions delayed activity that would have otherwise driven higher growth. Furthermore, the coronavirus pandemic is expected to disrupt the airline industry in 2020. As a result, IBISWorld projects industry revenue to decrease at an annualized rate of 4.7% to $6.6 billion over the five years to 2020, with an expected 20.5% decline in 2020 alone2.

37. During the five years to 2025, the industry is expected to recover. An increasingly interconnected world catalyzes demand for air transportation in both consumer and business markets. Furthermore, with the world price of crude oil expected to remain low, this may entice the surge of new travellers, as ticket prices will be low, increasing demand from the crucial consumer market. Moreover, rising travellers are expected to bolster air traffic to key locations, which can instigate demand for MRO services at these air transportation hubs. Consequently, IBISWorld projects industry revenue to increase at an annualized rate of 5.7% to $8.7 billion over the five years to 20252.

PROPOSED AMALGAMATION

41. Pursuant to the LOI dated February 26, 2021 between PJET and Volatus, PJET and Volatus will enter into the Amalgamation Agreement1 to amalgamate and form Amalco ("Amalco"), which will be called Volatus Aerospace Corp.

42. According to the Amalgamation Agreement1, subject to receipt of all regulatory approvals, the proposed amalgamation between PJET and Volatus will involve the principal steps as follows:

_____________________________
3 These are pre-tax rates of return.

10


a) each Volatus common share outstanding immediately prior to the Proposed Amalgamation, including the Volatus common shares issuable on conversion of the Volatus subscription receipts and the Volatus common shares issuable upon conversion of the bridge financing debentures, but excluding Volatus common shares held by holders that have validly exercised their dissent rights in connection with the Shareholders' Approval, shall be exchanged for one fully paid and non-assessable Amalco common share;

b) each Volatus Class A preferred share outstanding immediately prior to the Proposed Amalgamation, but excluding Volatus Class A preferred shares held by holders that have validly exercised their dissent rights in connection with the Shareholders' Approval, shall be exchanged for one fully paid and non-assessable Amalco preferred share;

c) each Partner Jet common share outstanding immediately prior to the Proposed Amalgamation, but excluding Partner Jet common shares held by Volatus and by holders that have validly exercised their dissent rights in connection with the Shareholders' Approval, shall be exchanged for fully paid and non-assessable Amalco common shares at an exchange ratio ("Exchange Ratio") of 2.95454 shares of PJET to 1.0 share of Amalco;

d) each Volatus option that remains outstanding and unexercised, whether or not vested, immediately prior to the Proposed Amalgamation, if any, shall be exchanged for a replacement option to purchase one Amalco common share, on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Volatus option immediately prior to the Proposed Amalgamation, including the exercise price, and each such Volatus option shall be cancelled;

e) pursuant to the terms of the Partner Jet Option Plan, each Partner Jet Option that remains outstanding and unexercised, whether or not vested, immediately prior to the Proposed Amalgamation, if any, shall be exchanged for a replacement option to purchase the corresponding number of Amalco common shares based on the Exchange Ratio, on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such PJET option immediately prior to the Proposed Amalgamation and each such PJET option shall be cancelled. The exercise price for each Amalco share underlying each such replacement option will be equal to the exercise price per PJET common share under the PJET option in effect immediately prior to the Proposed Amalgamation multiplied by the Exchange Ratio;

f) each outstanding Volatus compensation warrant immediately prior to the Proposed Amalgamation shall be exchanged for a replacement compensation warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase an equal number of Amalco common shares, on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Volatus compensation warrant immediately prior to the Proposed Amalgamation under the agreement or certificate evidencing such grant, including the exercise price, and each such Volatus compensation warrant shall be cancelled; and,

11


g) each outstanding bridge financing warrant and each Volatus subscription receipt warrant immediately prior to the Proposed Amalgamation shall be exchanged for a replacement warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase an equal number of Amalco shares, on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such bridge financing warrant or Volatus subscription receipt warrant, as applicable, immediately prior to the Proposed Amalgamation under the agreement or certificate evidencing such grant, including the exercise price, and each such bridge financing warrant and Volatus subscription receipt warrant shall be cancelled.

43. PJET shareholders will not have a restriction period for holding their equity ownership in Amalco.4

Brokered Private Placement

44. Volatus has engaged a syndicate of agents led by the Lead Agent, and Cormark Securities

Inc. (the "Syndicate Agent"), (collectively, the "Agents"), with respect to a "commercially reasonable efforts" private placement offering of up to 11,538,500 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.65 per Subscription Receipt (the "Issue Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to approximately $7,500,000 (the "Offering"). The Offering was announced publicly on May 25, 2021.

45. Each Subscription Receipt will be exchanged for one (1) common share of Volatus and one-half (1/2) of one (1) common share purchase warrant.

46. Subsequent to the Offering, the private placement was revised. Upon closing of the Offering, it is expected that 14,051,932 Subscription Receipts will be sold at a price of $0.65 per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of up to approximately $9,200,0005.

47. The Lead Agent did not conduct a valuation of PJET or Volatus.

AMALCO PRICING ANALYSIS BY THE LEAD AGENT

48. We have been advised that the Lead Agent applied the following approaches in determining the offering price of Amalco, which we have used as a proxy for the value of Volatus at the Valuation Date in our fairness analysis (discussed later in this report).

Public Comparable Approach

49. A market approach to determine the price of Amalco was initially utilized, which is a general way of determining a value of a business (assets or shares) that compares the subject asset to similar businesses, business ownership interests and securities that have been sold. Examples of market approach methods include a guideline company method. Under this method, an estimate is made, using public data, of the price that would be paid for the common shares of a closely-held company, assuming that it was traded in an active market or on an exchange. This is done by analyzing the share prices of reasonably comparable publicly-traded companies that operate in the same industry as the company being valued (i.e., guideline companies), as their share prices most adequately reflect investors' expectations of the return on an investment of similar risk vis-à-vis the subject company.

50. The Lead Agent conducted a comparable public company analysis for industries similar to those in which Volatus operates (i.e., drone-based technology). An enterprise value to 2021 revenue multiple of 4.0x was determined by the Lead Agent to be an average multiple of comparable public companies that operate in similar industries as Volatus.

51. Volatus management provided the Lead Agent five-year financial projections (the "Volatus Projections") of Volatus from December 31, 2021 to 2025. The Volatus Projections contained three different scenarios (best, base and worst). Volatus management has advised us that they believe that the base case scenario is the most likely outcome generating projected 2021 revenues of approximately $17.8 million (pre-amalgamation and including only Volatus revenues). Financial projections beyond fiscal 2021 were not relied upon by the Lead Agent in their analysis.

52. The Lead Agent applied the comparable public company enterprise to revenue multiple of 4.0x to the projected 2021 Volatus revenues of $17.8 million to generate an enterprise value of Amalco of approximately $70.0 million, which we have been advised by the Lead Agent they believed to represent the highest price for Amalco.

53. As Volatus is a private company, the Lead Agent believed a discount should be applied to the price of Amalco to account for several factors including:

a) private company discount for lack of liquidity in the open market;

b) lack of historical and proven financial results;

c) new entrant to the industry; and,

d) business plan risk.

13


54. Ultimately, as discussed below, the Lead Agent did not utilize the public company comparable approach to generate a price for Amalco and instead relied upon the open market to determine the pricing of Amalco (discussed in the following section).

Open Market Approach

55. The Lead Agent approached a number of private and institutional investors in the marketplace to generate demand for the private offering of Volatus.

56. Interest in the public market for an equity interest in Amalco deemed the price of 100% of the equity of Amalco to be no higher than $50,000,000. This post-amalgamation indicated an equity value which formed the basis for the Issue Price of $0.65, calculated as follows: $50,000,000 divided by the pre-amalgamation number of outstanding common shares of Volatus of 76,923,333.

57. Volatus management arbitrarily allocated the $50,000,000 pricing of Amalco as follows: $47,942,170 to Volatus and $2,057,830 to PJET. We requested, but were not provided with, the details of the allocation.

58. Volatus will engage in a reverse stock split prior to forming Amalco, pursuant to which each common share of Volatus will be consolidated on a 1.0 to 3.84616667 ratio. As a result, the 76,923,333 common shares outstanding of Volatus will become 20,000,000 common shares of Volatus prior to forming Amalco. Accordingly, the per price of Volatus after the reverse stock split will be $2.50 per share, calculated as the total price of Amalco of $50,000,000 divided by 20,000,000 common shares of Volatus. The $2.50 per share price of Amalco prior to the reverse stock split of 1.0 to 3.84616667 generates a pre-conversion per share price of Amalco of $0.65 per share, which is equal to the Issue Price as part of the Offering.

59. There were 9,078,7746 common shares outstanding of PJET as at February 28, 2021.

60. For the purposes of determining the share Exchange Ratio for the proposed Amalgamation, Volatus management valued PJET at a price of $0.227 per share ("PJET shares"), calculated as Volatus' calculated value of PJET of $2,057,830 divided by 9,078,7746 common shares outstanding of PJET as at February 28, 2021.

________________________________
6 Per note 6 of the interim financial statements of Partner Jet Corp as at February 28, 2021.

14


61. As at the Valuation Date, there are 575,000 PJET stock options outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $0.10125 which is below the price per share of $0.227 PJET shares as calculated by Volatus. If we assume that the 570,000 PJET stock options are converted prior to the Proposed Amalgamation, the calculated price per share of PJET shares per Volatus would be $0.219 per share, calculated as follows7: $2,116,049 divided by 9,653,774 fully diluted shares.

62. Prior to the Proposed Amalgamation, Volatus owns 4,123,760 common shares of PJET. The 5,230,0148 common shares of PJET not already owned by Volatus will be exchanged for shares in Amalco based on the Exchange Ratio of 2.95454 shares of PJET for 1.0 share of Amalco. The ratio was calculated utilizing the Issue Price of $0.65 calculated in the Private Placement divided by the per share value of PJET common shares of $0.22.

63. The 5,230,0148 common shares of PJET not already owned by Volatus will be exchanged for 1,770,164 common shares of Amalco as per the terms of the Proposed Amalgamation.

64. Volatus shares will be exchanged for shares in Amalco based on a ratio of 1.0 share of Volatus for 1.0 share of Amalco as per the terms of the Proposed Amalgamation.

VALUATION OF PARTNER JET

Valuation Methodology - General

65. In valuing a business (shares or assets), there is no single, standard or specific mathematical formula. The particular approach, and the factors to consider, will vary in each case. There are three generally accepted bases that are employed: (a) the assets method, (b) the earnings method, or variations thereof, such as capitalized cash flow or discounted cash flow, and (c) the market or sales comparison approach.

66. The assets method is used to determine the value of shares either where: (a) asset values constitute the prime determinant of corporate worth, depending on the nature of the operations (e.g., a real estate holding company or an investment holding company); or, (b) liquidation is contemplated because the business is not viable as an ongoing operation.

67. Where it is determined that the assets method is appropriate, a company's shares can generally be valued on one of the following bases:

7 Per note 6 of the interim financial statements of Partner Jet Corp as at February 28, 2021, there are 575,000 options outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $0.10125. If the 575,000 stock options were exercised, it would generate additional proceeds of $58,219 to generate a value of PJET of $2,116,049 calculated as follows: ($58,291 + $2,057,830 = $2,116,049). The number of outstanding common shares of PJET used to determine the value per share of PJET on a dilutive basis is as follows: (9,078,774 common shares + 575,000 options exercised= 9,653,774).

8 Volatus management has calculated the common shares that it does not own of Partner Jet Corp as follows: Total outstanding shares of Partner Jet Corp of 9,078,774 less shares owned by Volatus of 4,123,760, plus 275,000 stock options exercised = 5,230,014 common shares of Partner Jet Corp. There are 575,000 stock options outstanding, however, Volatus management assumes only 275,000 will be converted prior to the proposed amalgamation.

68. Adjusted book value or adjusted shareholders' equity which is the equity that results when goodwill is eliminated from an unadjusted balance sheet and all other assets are restated to fair market value. Each asset and liability is adjusted to its current or fair market value at the Valuation Date, on a going concern basis (as opposed to realizable liquidation values). An appropriate amount for income taxes arising as a result of the above adjustments may be deducted, depending on the circumstances.

69. Liquidation value which is the net amount of money, if any, available to equity owners following a voluntary, orderly liquidation or a forced sale. Under this scenario, a going concern is not assumed.

70. The values determined under the foregoing approaches may differ significantly. The appropriate application of any of the above approaches depends on the particular facts and circumstances relative to the asset being valued.

71. The earnings method is used where the business (shares or assets) being valued is earning a fair return on its capital employed and the hypothetical purchaser wishes to acquire the future indicated earnings generated by the enterprise. That is, the earnings value of a going- concern is based upon the yield to an investor, at the desired rate of return on his investment, having regard to a number of factors.

72. The earning power of a going concern entity is often greater than the value of the individual assets owned by it. This is because the value of assets can be realized only if the business is liquidated and the process of liquidation may often reduce asset values substantially. The earnings method therefore suggests the continuation of the business operations, and is based upon the purchaser's desire to acquire, or to share in, the earning power or the future profits of the enterprise.

73. In order to determine the value of a business on this basis, the reported earnings, usually for the last three to five years that should generally serve as a guide to the future, are adjusted for:

a) extraordinary and non-recurring items that would otherwise distort the estimate of future profits;

b) non-arm's length expenses that are of an uneconomic nature; and,

c) consistency with the operating conditions expected to prevail in the future.

16


74. Where there is a definite trend in the sales patterns and operating results, the normalized or adjusted maintainable earnings are generally weighted (in order to give more emphasis to the most recent years) to arrive at a likely trend of annual, future indicated earnings. In situations of a significantly rising trend or recently changed circumstances, it may be appropriate to consider only the latest figures available immediately prior to the valuation date. These adjusted results are then multiplied by a certain factor (price/earnings multiple, which is the inverse of the rate of return required by the purchaser on his investment in the business) to arrive at a capitalized earnings value, or going-concern value. The fair market realizable value of any assets owned by the enterprise not employed in its day-to-day operations (i.e., excess or redundant assets) is added (net of applicable taxes) to the going- concern value, since these redundant assets can either be removed by the vendor prior to sale, or by the purchaser following the acquisition of the issued shares. The aggregate so arrived at represents the value of the entity as a whole, i.e., corporate worth.

75. If historic operating results are not indicative of the future expected earnings/cash flows of the business, one common earnings method is known as the discounted cash flow method ("DCF"). The DCF method involves forecasting the cash flow stream attributable to a business over an appropriate forecast period and discounting these cash flows to a present value at an appropriate risk adjusted discount rate. The discount rate should reflect the risks attributable to generating the cash flows of the business.

76. The market approach to valuation is a general way of determining a value indication of a business (assets or shares) using one or more methods that compare the subject to similar businesses, business ownership interests and securities that have been sold. Examples of methods applied under this approach include (a) the guideline company/asset method, and

(b) analyses of prior transactions in the ownership of the relevant company.

77. The guideline company method relies upon actual market transactions to provide objective, empirical data for use in business valuation. Under this method, an estimate is made, using public data, of the price that would be paid for the common shares of a closely-held company, assuming that it was traded in an active market or on an exchange. This is done by analyzing the share prices of reasonably comparable publicly-traded companies that operate in the same industry as the company being valued (i.e., guideline companies), as their share prices most adequately reflect investors' expectations of the return on an investment of similar risk vis-à-vis the subject company. Financial and operating data of the guideline companies are also utilized, and are adjusted in order to reflect dissimilarities with respect to accounting policies, minority or controlling interests and marketability. To the extent that the risk of an investment in the relevant company's common shares is different from that of the guideline companies, the valuator will make subjective adjustments to the market ratios of the guideline companies to reflect such differences.

78. In applying the guideline method, public data regarding purchase/sale and similar transactions relating to comparable entities are reviewed, and any inconsistencies between the entity being valued and the entities involved in these transactions are adjusted as appropriate.

17


Valuation Method Adopted

79. To arrive at our comprehensive determination of the fair market value of 100% of the equity of PJET, we have reviewed its historical operating results and financial positions to the Valuation Date (Schedules 5 and 6). We have been advised by PJET management that historical financial performance is not reflective of expected future performance due to the

effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, Volatus management prepared financial projections (the "PJET Projections") of PJET for the years ending November 30, 2021 to 2025 (see Schedule 2). The PJET Projections contained three different scenarios (best, base and worst).

80. Volatus management believed the "worst" case scenario is the most likely outcome which will be used as the basis for our valuation analysis, and contained the following key assumptions:

a) Charter revenue would remain flat for the years 2021 to 2023 and increase 2.5% for 2024 and 2025;

b) Aircraft management revenue would decline 75% in 2021, remain flat for 2022 and 2023 and increase 2.5% in 2024 and 2025;

c) Aircraft maintenance revenue would remain flat for the years 2021 to 2023, and increase 2.5% for 2024 and 2025;

d) Charter revenue gross margins would be 9.0% from 2021 to 2025;

e) Aircraft management revenue gross margins would be 14.0% from 2021 to 2025;

f) Aircraft maintenance revenue gross margins would be 2.0% from 2021 to 2025;

g) Operating expenses would be approximately $821,000 in 2021, and increase by 1.5% in 2022 and 2023, and 2.5% in 2024 and 2025.

81. In relation to the Volatus-prepared PJET Projections, we completed the following procedures:

a) Recalculation of the PJET Projections under the three different scenarios (best, base and worst);

b) Analysis and review of the revenue growth rates used to develop the PJET Projections;

18


c) Analysis and review of the gross margins used to develop the PJET Projections;

d) Analysis and review of the operating expenses used to develop the PJET Projections; and,

e) Discussions with PJET and Volatus management regarding the reasonability of assumptions used in the PJET Projections.

82. Based on our review, we believe that PJET is appropriately considered to be a going concern entity and should be valued on this basis.

83. Specifically, we have selected the discounted cash flow ("DCF") method to value PJET (Schedule 1) utilizing the "worst case" scenario of the PJET Projections. Based on our review and analysis, we believe that PJET will not realize sufficient earnings in the future to provide an economic/market rate of return on invested capital at the Valuation Date (Schedule 1). Accordingly, we believe that a potential purchaser of the equity of PJET at the Valuation Date would not pay an amount in excess of the fair market value of its net tangible assets

84. Therefore, we have selected an assets-based valuation approach; in particular, the adjusted book value method at the Valuation Date. Under this method, we have revalued the reported book values of PJET's underlying assets and liabilities to their fair market values on a going concern basis.

85. Under the adjusted book value method, we have revalued the book values of PJET's assets and liabilities to their estimated fair market values.

86. We have commenced with the net book value of PJET's shareholder's equity at

February 28, 2021 of $1,958,618 and made the following adjustments (Schedule 4):

a) We have deducted the present value of the lost tax shield of the capital assets that will not be available to a potential purchaser, which arises because a purchaser of shares would not be able to realize the tax benefit of the undepreciated capital cost ("UCC") that is below the fair market value of these assets of approximately $115,000;

b) We added the value of non-capital tax loss carryforwards. The fair market value of the non-capital losses was determined to be approximately $118,000;

c) We have adjusted the value of the right of use asset, as it relates to leased office space which will not be extended beyond September 2022, therefore we have adjusted its fair market value to approximately $75,000;

19


d) We have adjusted the net book value of PJET's unearned revenues to reflect the true cost to PJET to service the liability which is lower than the amount of unearned revenue given that unearned revenue would typically include a profit margin. The fair market value of the unearned revenues for PJET was determined to be approximately $284,000;

e) PJET has borrowed $120,000 from the Government of Canada through the Canadian

Emergency Business Account ("CEBA") to provide cash flow relief due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have calculated the present value of the CEBA loan and determined that the fair market value to be approximately $74,000;

f) The lease liability pertains to the right of use asset which will no longer be extended beyond September 2022, therefore the lease liability is overstated and current portion and long-term lease liability were adjusted to reflect the fact that the liability will no longer be incurred beyond September 2022. As such, we have determined that the fair market value of the current lease liability and long-term lease liability to be approximately $49,000 and $32,000 respectively;

g) The promissory note does include a portion of accrued interest, therefore we have adjusted the promissory note to reflect the additional accrued interest that will become payable at the end of the term of the promissory note. The fair market value of the promissory note was determined to be approximately $2,232,000.

87. We have been advised that PJET has not received bona fide offers from other parties during the 24 months prior to the LOI.

88. We have been advised that no formal valuations of PJET or Volatus have been made in the last 24 months, to the knowledge of PJET or Volatus.

Valuation Conclusion - PJET

89. Based on the above, and the scope of our review and analysis and our experience, and subject to the restrictions, qualifications and assumptions set out herein (including the attached schedules), we have determined that the fair market value of 100% of the equity of PJET as at the Valuation Date to be approximately $2,022,000 (Schedule 4).

Analysis of the Proposed Amalgamation

90. In considering the fairness of the Proposed Amalgamation to the common shareholders of PJET, we have considered the following factors:

20


91. The graph below illustrates the historical trading price and volume for PJET's shares.

a) On February 26, 2021, the share price of PJET was $0.30 and trading volume was 27,2009.

b) As at the close of trading on March 1, 2021, the share price of PJET was $0.40 and trading volume was 155,0009. The trading price of PJET shares increased 33.3% from February 26, 2021 and March 1, 2021 after news of the announcement of the Proposed Amalgamation.

c) Prior to the opening of trading on March 2, 2021, trading of PJET's shares was halted10 due to the pending transaction between PJET and Volatus, and has not resumed trading as of the date of this Fairness Opinion.

d) From the chart above, we note that the market for PJET's shares has been relatively illiquid. Between July 2020 and February 2021, the stock only traded on approximately 12.0% of all trading days. The total volume of shares traded during the 12 months prior to February 28, 2021 was approximately 398,300 shares. From June 30, 2020 to February 28, 2021, the average daily volume was 1,460 with the minimum daily trading volume of 400 shares and the maximum daily trading volume of 155,000.

Value of PJET Shares

93. Based on the determination of the fair market value of 100% of the equity of PJET of $2,022,000, the per share value of PJET as at the Valuation Date is $0.2211 (Schedule 4).

94. As at the Valuation Date, PJET had 575,000 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $0.1012512. Given that these options are in-the-money, the fully diluted per share value of PJET as at the Valuation Date is $0.2213 (Schedule 4).

95. The difference between our concluded per share value of $0.22 as at the Valuation Date and the closing share price of PJET of $0.40 as at March 1, 2021 may be due to several factors including the following:

a) the shares are significantly thinly-traded on the market with an average daily volume of approximately 1,500;

b) the stock price has traded with high volatility ranging from $0.10 to $0.4014; and,

c) the price of $0.40 as at March 1, 2021 may have increased significantly from the previous trading day due to speculation of the upcoming news regarding the Proposed Amalgamation.

96. Our value conclusions did not factor any distinctive material benefit15 that might accrue to a potential purchaser including potential synergies and the accelerated use of PJET's available tax losses.

Comparable Transaction Analysis

97. Based on our review of the trading multiples16 for companies under SIC code 4522 and 458117, we have identified public companies that are somewhat comparable to PJET. These companies were considered comparable based on the following characteristics: providing aviation support services in the United States and Canada including charter operations and aircraft maintenance. The comparable public companies were larger in size than PJET and their revenues ranged from a low of approximately $500 million to $4.0 billion. The multiples derived from this data set generated implied Enterprise Value / EBITDA multiples of 12.0x. Due to the public companies' larger size compared to PJET, we did not rely on the public company market analysis in determining a value for the PJET Shares.

98. We also reviewed public company transactions involving companies that are somewhat comparable to PJET that operating under SIC code 4522 and 4581. However, due to the size of the public company targets which ranged from implied enterprise values of $210 million to $2.7 billion, we chose not to rely on the comparable transaction method in determining the fair price for the PJET Shares.

MAJOR ASSUMPTIONS

99. In preparing our conclusions as outlined herein, we have assumed, in addition to the assumptions noted throughout this Fairness Opinion, that:

a) We have not audited, reviewed or otherwise attempted to verify the financial information provided, or the representations made, to us by management of PJET or Volatus. Instead, we have assumed that such information was fairly presented.

b) We have assumed that the PJET Projections prepared by Volatus management are reasonable and the "worst" case scenario represents the best estimate for future results.

c) We have not been engaged or have conducted a valuation of Volatus. Instead, we have relied upon the $50.0 million pricing of Amalco as established by the Lead Agent.

d) The fair market values of PJET's assets and liabilities at the Valuation Date are equal to their net book values at February 28, 2021 except as noted herein.

e) There were no contracts, agreements, commitments, undisclosed assets or liabilities, or contingent assets or liabilities at the Valuation Date that would

Conclusion:

Based on our review and analysis, we believe that Partner Jet Corp. has not realized and is not expected to realize, sufficient earnings to provide an economic/market rate of return on invested capital. In other words, we believe that a potential purchaser of the equity of Partner Jet Corp. would not pay an amount in excess of the fair market value of net tangible assets. Therefore, we have selected an assets-based valuation approach, in particular the adjusted book value method. Under this method, we have revalued the book values of the Company's underlying assets and liabilities to their fair market values on a going concern basis (see Schedule 4).

(1) Represents the benchmark yield on long-term Government of Canada bond as at February 28, 2021 March 31, 2021 (source: Bank of Canada).

(2) Calculated using the average size premium between 1) the CRSP Deciles Size Study 'CAPM + Size Premium' and 2) the Risk Premium Report Study 'Build-up 2' as set out in the Duff & Phelps Cost of Capital Navigator. The size premium based on the CRSP Deciles Size Study for decile 10z is 11.29%, which includes companies with a market capitalization in the range of $2.19 million to $46.89 million USD (around the Valuation Date Partner Jet Corp.'s market capitalization was $2,888,000 USD). The size premium based on the Risk Premium Report Study is 6.23% which is based on revenues of $6,922,000 USD (i.e., average projected revenues of PartnerJet Corp. during 2021 to 2023 converted using the CAD/USD exchange rate at the Valuation Date.

(3) The long-term historical equity risk premium as set out in the Duff & Phelps Cost of Capital Navigator. We have added back the spot risk-free rate at the Valuation Date as set out in the Duff & Phelps Cost of Capital Navigator, which is implicit in the long-term historical equity risk premium and deducted the long-term bond yield detailed in Note 1.

(4) Calculated using the industry beta for GICS code 203020 ("Airlines") as set out in the Duff & Phelps Cost of Capital Navigator on the low-end of the range and the industry beta for public companies operating globally in similar industries as PartnerJet Corp as calculated by Capital IQ.

(5) Selected based on our understanding of the nature of the Company's business.

Positive factors:

+ Experienced management.

Negative factors:

- Small player in a large, fragmented market.

- Limited service offering compared to main competitors.

- Difficulty retaining clients.

- Historic decrease in working capital.

- Low brand recognition.

- Declining business operations.

ADJUSTED BOOK VALUE AND TANGIBLE ASSET BACKING

AS AT FEBRUARY 28, 2021

NOTES TO SCHEDULE 4

(6) Source: corporate income tax return of Partner Jet Inc. for the year ended November 30, 2020. Per Luc Masse, Partner Jet Corp. is the holding company and does not contain any capital assets. Partner Jet Inc. is the operating company which holds the capital assets of the business.

(7) Per management, the Company did not invest in any further capital assets in 2020 or 2021.

(8) Reflects income taxes enacted around the Valuation Date (source: "Tax Facts and Figures Canada 2020" as published by PricewaterhouseCoopers).

(9) Using the following formula and inputs:

existing tax shield =  (UCC × income tax rate × CCA rate)

(rate of return + CCA rate)


Income tax rate:

26.50%

(Note 8)

After-tax rate of return (low):

17.03%

(Schedule 3)

After-tax rate of return (high):

18.54%

(Schedule 3)

We have assumed that a purchaser would be able to utilize the tax deduction from CCA immediately.

(10) Right of use asset pertains to the right to use leased office space which expires on September 23, 2022 with a renewal option of an additional two year period. As the Company has shifted to a work from home model and will not be exercising the renewal option, we have written down the fair market value of the right to use asset for its use to expire in September 2022.

(11) Unearned revenue is related to deposits for future managed flight services and chartered flights (pre bookings). It is our understanding the majority of unearned revenue becomes earned (services become rendered) within a one to two month time frame. We have applied the gross margins associated with the unearned revenue and calculated the after tax income associated with these services. Calculated as follows based on e-mail from Luc Masse dated April 20, 2021:

    Unearned     Direct Profit     Direct  
    Revenue     Margin     Profit  
Powerone $ 36,682     10.0%   $ 3,668  
Nevada Capital   7,560     10.0%     756  
Dream Unlimited   185,743     13.0%     24,147  
Frank Moneau   14,476     5.0%     724  
IWZ fit   42,050     14.0%     5,887  
IWZ fit   28,979     1.0%     290  
  $ 315,490         $ 35,472  
Less: Income taxes at 12.2%         (Note 8)     (4,328 )

ADJUSTED BOOK VALUE AND TANGIBLE ASSET BACKING

AS AT FEBRUARY 28, 2021

NOTES TO SCHEDULE 4

(12) The lease liability pertains to the right of use asset and associated leased office space. The office lease expires September 23, 2022 with a renewal option of an additional two year period. As the Company has adopted to a work from home model, we have assumed that the two year option period will not be exercised and the lease obligations will terminate on September 2022. Therefore, the fair market value of the lease liability and associated lease payments were adjusted to reflect the revised payment schedule and terms to conclude in September 2022.

(13) The promissory note has waived interest payments for approximately 5 months, which will be deferred and payable when the liability becomes due at December 1, 2025, as such, the promissory note is understated by accrued waived interest. Accordingly, we have included the accrued interest and adjusted the fair market value of the promissory note as follows:

           
Accrued waived interest (5 months)     $ 49,740  
Discount period (years) (Note 13.1)     4.76  
Discount factor (Note 13.2) 17.79%   0.46  
Discounted value of waived interest free payments   $ 22,823  
         
Total discounted value of waived interest free payments (rounded)   $ 23,000  

(13.1)  The waived interest on the promissory note will become payable at December 1, 2025 when the promissory note becomes due.
(13.2)  We have used the mid-period discount factor using the WACC midpoint (Schedule 3).

(14) We have assumed that the fair market value of all assets and liabilities at February 28, 2021 are equal to their net book values at that date, unless otherwise adjusted.

(15) We have assumed that only $80,000 of Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA) will be repaid by December 31, 2022. We have discounted the CEBA amount to reflect that it is non-interest bearing until December 31, 2022. In addition, we have deducted the fair value of the CEBA from enterprise value (see Schedule 2).

(16) The value of non-capital losses was calculated as follows:

2020 opening non-capital loss carry-forwards (Schedule 1, Note 5)       $ 125,926  
2021 fiscal non-capital losses for 9 months (Schedule 1, Note 2) $ 582,901        
2021 non-capital loss (3 months)     0.33     194,300  
Total non-capital loss carryforwards         $ 320,226  
Income tax rate: (Note 8)   26.50%     (84,860 )
Value of non-capital loss tax carryforwards         $ 235,366  
Discounted at 50% (Note 16.1)         50%  
Value of on-capital loss tax carryforwards.         $ 117,683  

(16.1) The non-capital tax losses were discounted at 50% to account for the uncertainty of use and timing etc.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may, from time to time, delegate to a committee (the "Committee") of the Board all or any of the powers conferred on the Board under the Plan.  In such event, the Committee will exercise the powers delegated to it by the Board in the manner and on the terms authorized by the Board.  Any decision made or action taken by the Committee arising out of or in connection with the administration or interpretation of this Plan in this context is final and conclusive.

3.3 Eligibility

All Eligible Persons are eligible to participate in the Plan. Eligibility to participate does not confer upon any Eligible Person any right to be granted Options pursuant to the Plan. The extent to which any Eligible Person is entitled to be granted Options pursuant to the Plan will be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board, provided, however, that the following restrictions shall also apply to this Plan as well as all other plans or stock option agreements to which the Company may be a party:

(a) no individual may be granted Options to purchase Common Shares representing more than 5% of the Outstanding Issue in any 12 month period;

(f) Insiders may not be granted, within a 12-month period, Options to purchase Common Shares representing more than 10% of the Outstanding Issue.

3.4 Total Common Shares Subject to Options

(a) The aggregate number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issue pursuant to the exercise of Options under this Plan, together with the aggregate number of securities reserved for issuance under the Company's Restricted Share Unit Plan, shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company at the time of grant of any Option. 

(b) If, an Option terminates for any reason prior to its exercise in full or is cancelled, the Common Shares issuable pursuant to such Option shall be added back to the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and such Common Shares will again become available for grant under this Plan.

3.5 Option Agreements

All grants of Options under Section 4.1 hereof shall be evidenced by Option Agreements.  Any one proper officer of the Company is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, for and on behalf of the Company, an Option Agreement to each Optionee.

3.6 Non-transferability

Subject to Section 4.6 hereof, Options granted under this Plan may only be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee by such Optionee personally.  No assignment or transfer of Options, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, vests any interest or right in such Options whatsoever in any assignee or transferee and immediately upon any assignment or transfer, or any attempt to make the same, such Options will terminate and be of no further force or effect. 

ARTICLE 4
GRANT OF OPTIONS

4.1 Grant of Options

The Board may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of this Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe, grant Options to any Eligible Person.

4.2 Exercise Price

The purchase price of Common Shares purchasable under any Option shall be as determined by the Board but in any event shall not be less than the Discounted Market Price of the Common Shares.  A minimum exercise price cannot be established unless the options are allocated to particular Eligible Persons

4.3 Term of Options

Subject to any accelerated termination as set forth in this Plan, each Option, unless otherwise specified by the Board, expires on the fifth anniversary of the Date of Grant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to any accelerated termination as set forth in this Plan, if the date on which an Option expires occurs during a Blackout Period, or within ten business days after the end of a Blackout Period, the date of the expiry of such Option will become the tenth business day following the end of the Blackout Period.  In no event shall the expiry of an Option be extended where the Optionee or Company is subject to a cease trade order (or similar order under applicable securities laws) in respect of the Common Shares.

4.4 Exercise Period

Unless otherwise specified by the Board at the time of granting an Option and except as otherwise provided in this Plan, each Option will vest and be exercisable as to one quarter of the Common Shares issuable pursuant to such Option on each of the first four anniversaries of the Date of Grant thereof, such that the entire Option shall have vested and become exercisable on the 4th anniversary of the Date of Grant.

Once a portion of an Option vests and becomes exercisable, it shall remain exercisable until expiration or termination of such Option, unless otherwise specified by the Board in connection with the grant of such Option.  Each Option or portion thereof may be exercised at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, for up to the total number of Common Shares with respect to which it is then exercisable.  Subject to the applicable regulatory approval, the Board may accelerate the date upon which any instalment of any Option becomes exercisable.


6

Subject to the provisions of this Plan and any Option Agreement, Options may be exercised by means of a fully completed Exercise Notice delivered to the Company together with payment therefor.

4.5 Payment of Exercise Price

An Exercise Notice must be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price for the Common Shares to be purchased thereby.  Such Exercise Price must be fully paid in cash, or by certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable to the Company.  No Common Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of any Option until full payment therefor has been received by the Company.  Subject to Section 4.10 hereof, as soon as practicable after receipt of any Exercise Notice and full payment, the Company will deliver to the Optionee a certificate or certificates representing the acquired Common Shares.

4.6 Death of Optionee

If an Optionee dies while holding Options, then the executor, administrator or other legal representative of the Optionee's estate, may exercise any Options of the Optionee to the extent that such Options were exercisable at the date of such death and the  right to so exercise such Options shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the date that is one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of the Optionee's death, and (ii) the date on which the Exercise Period of the particular Option expires.  Any Options held by the Optionee that were not exercisable at the date of death shall immediately expire and be cancelled on such date.

4.7 Termination of Employment or Services

(a) Where an Optionee's employment or term of office with the Company or an Affiliated Company ceases by reason of the Optionee's death then the provisions of Section 4.6 hereof shall apply.

(b) Where an Optionee's employment or term of office terminates by reason of (i) termination by the Company or an Affiliated Company without cause (whether such termination occurs with or without any or adequate reasonable notice, or with or without any or adequate compensation in lieu of such reasonable notice) or (ii) voluntary resignation by such Optionee, then any Options held by such Optionee that are exercisable at the Termination Date shall continue to be exercisable by such Optionee until the earlier of (A) the date that is thirty (30) days following the Termination Date and (B) the date on which the Exercise Period of the particular Option expires.  Any Options held by such Optionee that are not exercisable at the Termination Date shall immediately expire and be cancelled on the Termination Date.

(c) Where an Optionee's employment or term of office is terminated by the Company or an Affiliated Company for cause, then any Options held by such Optionee, whether or not exercisable at the Termination Date, shall  expire and be cancelled upon the Termination Date.

(d) Unless the Board, in its discretion, otherwise determines, at any time and from time to time, Options shall not be affected by any change of employment within or among the Company or an Affiliated Company for so long as an Optionee continues to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliated Company.

4.8 Discretion to Permit Exercise


7

Subject to the Exchange Policies, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.6 and 4.7 hereof, the Board may, in its discretion, at any time prior to or following the events contemplated in such sections, permit the exercise of any or all Options held by an Optionee in the manner and on the terms authorized by the Board, provided that the Board shall not, in any case, authorize the exercise of an Option pursuant to this Section 4.8 beyond the expiration of the Exercise Period of the particular Option.

4.9 Conditions of Exercise

Each Optionee shall, when requested by the Company, sign and deliver all such documents relating to the granting or exercise of Options which the Company deems necessary or desirable.

4.10 Exchange Matters

(a) All Options which are required by the Exchange Policies to be subject to the Exchange Hold Period (as defined in Exchange Policies) shall be subject to such hold period and the Option Agreements evidencing such Options shall include such legends as may be required by the Exchange Policies.

(b)  Where required by Exchange Policies the Company shall issue a press release disclosing the grant of Options. 

ARTICLE 5
SHARE CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS

5.1 General

The existence of any Options shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its shareholders to make, authorize or determine any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or any other change in the Company's capital structure or its business, or any amalgamation, combination, merger or consolidation involving the Company, to create or issue any bonds, debentures, Common Shares or other securities of the Company or to determine the rights and conditions attaching thereto, to effect the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or to effect any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a  similar character or otherwise, whether or not any such action referred to in this Section 5.1 would have an adverse effect on this Plan or any Option granted hereunder.

5.2 Reorganization of Company's Capital

Should the Company effect a subdivision or consolidation of Common Shares or any similar capital reorganization or a payment of a stock dividend (other than a stock dividend that is in lieu of a cash dividend), or should any other change be made in the capitalization of the Company that, in the opinion of the Board, would warrant the replacement of any existing Options in order to adjust (a) the number of Common Shares that may be acquired on the exercise of any outstanding Options and/or (b) the Exercise Price of any outstanding Options in order to preserve proportionately the rights and obligations of the Optionees, the Board shall authorize such steps to be taken as may be equitable and appropriate thereto.

5.3 Change of Control

In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company or in the event of any transaction that results in the acquisition of a majority of the Company's outstanding Common Shares by a single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert, or in the event of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company's assets (all of the foregoing being referred to as an "Acquisition Event"), the Board may, in its sole discretion, deal with the Options issued under the Plan in the manner it deems fair and reasonable in light of the circumstances of the Acquisition Event.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with an Acquisition Event, the Board of Directors may, without any action or consent required on the part of any Participant, (i) accelerate the vesting of some or all Options outstanding; (ii) deem any or all Options (vested or unvested) under the Plan to have been exercised and the Common Shares issuable on such exercise to have been tendered to the Acquisition Event, (iii) apply a portion of the Participant's proceeds from the closing of the Acquisition Event to the exercise price payable by that Participant for the exercise of his or her Options, (iv) cancel the Options and pay to a Participant the amount that the Participant would have received, after deducting the exercise price of the Options, had the Options been exercised, (v) exchange Options that remain unvested and/or unexercised at the closing of the Acquisition Event, or any portion of them, for options to purchase shares in the capital of the acquiror or any  corporation which results from an amalgamation, merger or similar transaction involving the Company made in connection with the Acquisition Event; (vi) deem any options that are unexercised as of the date of closing of the Acquisition Event to have expired or (vii) take such other actions, and combinations of the foregoing actions, as it deems fair and reasonable under the circumstances.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of any or all outstanding Options to provide that, notwithstanding the terms of this Plan or any Option Agreement, such outstanding Options shall be fully vested and conditionally exercisable upon (or prior to) the completion of the Acquisition Event and require that if any such accelerated Options are not exercised prior to completion of the Acquisition Event such unexercised Options shall terminate and expire.  If, for any reason, the Acquisition Event does not occur within the contemplated time period, any action taken by the Board above shall be retracted and the Option terms shall revert.


8

5.4 Other Events Affecting the Company

In the event of an amalgamation, combination, merger or other reorganization involving the Company (other than  an Acquisition Event) by exchange of Common Shares, by sale or lease of assets or otherwise, that, in the opinion of the Board, warrants the replacement of any existing Options in order to adjust (a)  the number of Common Shares that may be acquired on the exercise of any outstanding Options or (b) the Exercise Price of any outstanding Options in order to preserve proportionately the rights and obligations of the Optionees, the Board shall authorize such steps to be taken as may be equitable and appropriate thereto.

5.5 Immediate Exercise of Options

Where the Board determines that the steps provided in Sections 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 hereof would not preserve proportionately the rights and obligations of the Optionees in the circumstances or otherwise determines that it is appropriate, the Board may permit the immediate exercise of any outstanding Options that are not otherwise exercisable.

5.6 Issue by Company of Additional Common Shares

Except as expressly provided in this Article 5, neither the issue by the Company of shares of any class or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any class, nor the conversion or exchange of such shares or securities, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to (a) the number of Common Shares that may be acquired on the exercise of any outstanding Options or (b) the Exercise Price of any outstanding Options.

5.7 Fractions

No fractional Common Shares will be issued on the exercise of an Option.  Accordingly, if, as a result of any adjustment hereunder, an Optionee would become entitled to a fractional Common Share, such Optionee shall have the right to acquire only the adjusted number of full Common Shares and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional Common Shares so disregarded.


9

5.8 Conditions of Exercise

The Plan and each Option are subject to the requirement that if at any time the Board determines that the listing, registration or qualification of the Common Shares subject to such Option upon any stock exchange or under any provincial, state or federal law, or that the consent or approval of any governmental body, stock exchange or of the holders of the Common Shares generally, is necessary or desirable, as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Option or the issue or purchase of Common Shares thereunder, no such Option may be granted or exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board.  The Optionees shall, to the extent applicable, cooperate with the Company in relation to such registration, qualification or other approval and shall have no claim or cause of action against the Company or any of its officers or directors as a result of any failure by the Company to obtain or to take any steps to obtain any such registration, qualification or approval.

ARTICLE 6
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

6.1 Legal Requirement

The Company is not obligated to grant any Options, issue any Common Shares or other securities, make any payments or take any other action if, in the opinion of the Board, in its sole discretion, such action would constitute a violation by an Optionee or the Company of any provision of any applicable statutory or regulatory enactment of any government or government agency.

6.2 Optionee's Entitlement

Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, Options previously granted under this Plan, whether or not then exercisable, are not affected by any change in the relationship between, or ownership of, the Company and an Affiliated Company.  For greater certainty, all Options remain valid and exercisable in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Plan and are not affected by reason only that, at any time, an Affiliated Company ceases to be an Affiliated Company. 

6.3 Withholding Taxes

The exercise of each Option granted under this Plan is subject to the condition that if at any time the Company determines, in its discretion, that the satisfaction of withholding tax or other withholding liabilities is necessary or desirable in respect of such exercise, such exercise is not effective unless such withholding has been effected to the satisfaction of the Company.  In such circumstances, the Company may require that an Optionee pay to the Company, in addition to and in the same manner as the Exercise Price for the Common Shares, such amount as the Company is obliged to remit to the relevant taxing authority in respect of the exercise of the Option.  Any such additional payment is due no later than the date as of which any amount with respect to the Option exercised first becomes includable in the gross income of the Optionee for tax purposes.

6.4 Rights of Eligible Person/Optionee

No Eligible Person has any claim or right to be granted an Option (including, without limitation, an Option granted in substitution for any Option that has expired pursuant to the terms of this Plan), and the granting of any Option is not to be construed as giving an Optionee a right to remain in the employ of the Company or an Affiliated Company.  No Optionee has any rights as a shareholder of the Company in respect of Common Shares issuable on the exercise of rights to acquire Common Shares under any Option until the allotment and issuance to the Optionee of certificates representing such Common Shares.


10

6.5 Compliance with Stock Exchange

The Board may make changes to the terms of the Options or the Plan to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with any rules, regulations or policies of the Exchange, provided that the value of previously granted Options and the rights of Optionees are not materially adversely affected by any such changes.

6.6 Termination; Amendment

(a) The Plan will terminate on the date upon which no further Common Shares remain available for issuance pursuant to Options which may be granted under the Plan and no Options remain outstanding.

(b) The Board may, without notice, at any time or from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate this Plan or any provisions hereof in such respects as it, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate.  No such amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan, without the consent of any Optionee or the representatives of his or her estate, as applicable, alters or impairs any rights or obligations arising from any Option previously granted to an Optionee under this Plan.

(c) Disinterested shareholder approval (as such term is used in the Exchange Policies) is required for any reduction in the Exercise Price of any Option if the Optionee is an Insider of the Company at the time of the proposed amendment.

6.7 Participation in the Plan

The participation of any Eligible Person in the Plan is entirely voluntary and not obligatory and shall not be interpreted as conferring upon such Eligible Person any rights or privileges other than those rights and privileges expressly provided in the Plan. In particular, participation in the Plan does not constitute a condition of employment nor a commitment on the part of the Corporation to ensure the continued employment of such Eligible Person. The Plan does not provide any guarantee against any loss which may result from fluctuations in the market value of the Common Shares. The Company does not assume responsibility for the income or other tax consequences for the Eligible Persons and they are advised to consult with their own tax advisors.

6.8 Effective Date

This Plan becomes effective on a date to be determined by the Board.

6.9 Governing Law

This Plan is created under and is to be governed, construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

Section 4.2 Dividends

Where, prior to the Expiry Date, a Participant fails to elect to settle an RSU, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to settle such RSUs on the day immediately preceding the Expiry Date.

(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company elects to issue Common Shares in settlement of RSUs:

(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan:

(a) no RSU shall be capable of settlement after the Expiry Date, provided, however, that if the Expiry Date in respect of an RSU falls on a date upon which such Participant is prohibited from exercising such RSU due to a Black-Out Period or other trading restriction imposed by the Company or under Applicable Securities Law, then the Expiry Date of such RSU shall be automatically extended to the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date the relevant Black-Out Period or other trading restriction imposed by the Company or Applicable Securities Law is lifted, terminated or removed but in no event shall the Expiry Date be extended beyond December 31st of the third year after the Service Year. The foregoing extension applies to all RSUs regardless of the Grant Date and shall not be considered an extension of the term thereof as otherwise referred to in the Plan. In addition, the Participant acknowledges that such an extension may result in less favourable tax consequences to the Participant than if the RSUs had been settled on the original Expiry Date;


- 12 -

(b) the Settlement Period shall be automatically reduced in accordance with Section 4.4 upon the occurrence of any of the events referred to therein; and

(c) no RSU in respect of which Shareholder approval is required under the rules of the Stock Exchange shall be settled until such time as such RSU has been so approved.

Section 4.4 Termination of Service

Where, prior to the 90th day following such termination of service (or, if earlier, the Termination Date) the Participant fails to elect to settle a vested RSU, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to settle such RSU on such 90th day (or, if earlier, the Termination Date) and to receive Common Shares in respect thereof;

(c) in the case of a termination of the Participant's services by reason of (A) voluntary resignation, or (B) death or Disability, only the Participant's unvested RSUs shall terminate automatically as of such date, and any time during the ninety (90) day period commencing on the date of such termination of service (or, if earlier, the Termination Date), the Participant will be eligible to request that the Company settle their vested RSUs. Where, prior to the 90th day following such termination of service (or, if earlier, the Termination Date) the Participant fails to elect to settle a vested RSU, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to settle such RSU on such 90th day (or, if earlier, the Termination Date) and to receive Common Shares in respect thereof;

(d) for greater certainty, where a Participant's employment, term of office or other engagement with the Company terminates by reason of termination by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for Cause then any RSUs held by the Participant (whether unvested or vested) at the Termination Date, immediately terminate and are cancelled on the Termination Date or at a time as may be determined by the Board, in its discretion;

(e) a Participant's eligibility to receive further grants of RSUs under this Plan ceases as of the earliest of the date the Participant resigns from or terminates its engagement with the Company or any subsidiary of the Company and the date that the Company or any subsidiary of the Company provides the Participant with written notification that the Participant's employment, term of office or engagement, as the case may be, is terminated, notwithstanding that such date may be prior to the Termination Date; and


- 13 -

(f) for the purposes of the Plan, a Participant shall not be deemed to have terminated service or engagement where: (i) the Participant remains in employment or office within or among the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or (ii) the Participant is on a leave of absence approved by the Board.

Section 4.5 Non-transferability of RSUs

(1) RSUs shall not be transferable or assignable by the Participant otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of a Participant only by the Participant and after death only by the Participant's legal representative.

TERMINATION, AMENDMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS

Section 5.1 Amendment and Termination

(1) The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time in accordance with applicable law, and subject to any required regulatory approval.

(3) If the Plan is terminated, the provisions of the Plan and any administrative guidelines, and other rules and regulations adopted by the Board and in force at the time of the Plan termination shall continue in effect during such time as an RSU or any rights pursuant thereto remain outstanding.

Section 5.2 Change of Control

(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, in the event of an actual or potential Change of Control Event, the Board may, in its discretion, without the necessity or requirement for the agreement or consent of any Participant: (i) accelerate, conditionally or otherwise, on such terms as it sees fit, the vesting date of any RSU; (ii) permit the conditional settlement of any RSU, on such terms as it sees fit; (iii) otherwise amend or modify the terms of the RSU, including for greater certainty permitting Participants to settle any RSU, to assist the Participants to tender the underlying Common Shares to, or participate in, the actual or potential Change of Control Event or to obtain the advantage of holding the underlying Common Shares during such Change of Control Event; and (iv) terminate, following the successful completion of such Change of Control Event, on such terms as it sees fit, the RSUs not settled prior to the successful completion of such Change of Control Event, including, without limitation, for no payment or other compensation.

(2) The determination of the Board in respect of any such Change of Control Event shall for the purposes of this Plan be final, conclusive and binding.

- 14 -

(a) the number or kind of Common Shares or other securities reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan, and

(b) the number and kind of Common Shares or other securities subject to unsettled and outstanding RSUs granted pursuant to the Plan;

provided, however, that no substitution or adjustment shall obligate the Company to issue fractional RSUs or shares. If the Company is reorganized, amalgamated with another company or consolidated, the Board shall make such provisions for the protection of the rights of Participants as the Board in its discretion deems appropriate.

(2) For greater certainty, no amount will be paid to, or in respect of, a Participant under the Plan or pursuant to any other arrangement, and no additional RSUs, Common Shares or other securities of the Company will be granted to a Participant to compensate the Participant for any downward fluctuations in the Market Price of a Common Share nor will any other form of benefit, cash or otherwise, be conferred upon, or in respect of, a Participant for such a purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

 

To the Shareholders of

Partner Jet Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Partner Jet Corp. (the Company), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at November 30, 2020 and November 30, 2019, and the consolidated statements of (loss) and comprehensive (loss), consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at November 30, 2020 and November 30, 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards (Canadian GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:

 Management's Discussion and Analysis

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained the Management's Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor's report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor's report. We have nothing to report in this regard.

1


Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian GAAS, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.

 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

 Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

2


We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Howard Wolle.

3. Summary of Accounting Policies

a. Basis of preparation

These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments measured at fair value through profit and loss or amortized cost. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

These financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the financial statements from the date the control commences until the date control ceases.

All intra-company balances and transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Partner Jet Inc.

b. Revenue recognition

The Company earns the majority of its revenue from aircraft management, aircraft maintenance and charter revenue from charter of third party aircraft, as well as the Company's owned aircraft.

Revenue is recognized as follows:

i) Revenue from aircraft operating contracts and aircraft management fees is recognized on a monthly basis in accordance with the client operating contracts.

ii) Revenue from aircraft maintenance is recognized monthly based on the work performed to date.

iii) Revenue from aircraft charter is recognized at the completion of each charter flight.

iv) Unearned revenue arises from fees for aircraft management, charters and aircraft maintenance billed in advance of the period in which the service is provided.

Revenue is only recognized to the extent that evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is reasonably certain, the sales price is fixed or determinable and title and risk have passed to the customer and the cost of sales is readily determinable.

IFRS 15 applies a single model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. This standard applies to all contracts with customers, with only some exceptions, including certain contracts accounted for under other IFRSs. The standard requires revenue to be recognized in a manner that depicts the completion of services to a customer and at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring those services. This is achieved by applying the following five steps: i) identify the contract with a customer; ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; iii) determine the transaction price; iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

c. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term guaranteed investment certificates, which are carried at the lower of cost and fair value. Cash equivalents are highly liquid and mature within a 90-day period from the date of purchase.

d. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition and bringing the asset to the location and condition for its intended use. Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives using the following methods and annual rates:

Vehicles

30% declining balance basis

Leasehold improvements

Straight line basis over the lesser of useful life or lease term

Aircraft

Cost less than residual value on straight line basis over the useful life

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis. An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

Property and equipment are grouped into cash generating units (CGU) and reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the CGU may not be recoverable.

e. Income taxes

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized using the liability method, with respect to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Any such reduction will be reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable income will be provided.

f. Foreign currency translation

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, 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. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Management has determined that the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar.

g. Share-based payment arrangements

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions was determined using the Black-Scholes Model.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity (equity-settled employee benefits reserve). At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve.

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.

h. Impairment of tangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

3. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

h. Impairment of tangible assets (continued)

If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit and loss.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash- generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount. However, the increased carrying amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

i. Equity

The Company's equity comprises the proceeds received for its issued common shares less any costs of issuance, contributed surplus arising from the fair value of the stock options granted and its net and comprehensive profit/loss since incorporation.

j. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value plus transaction costs, except for financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value through net income or loss, which are measured initially at fair value.

Financial Assets:

Financial assets are categorized for subsequent measurement as follows:

Amortized cost

Financial assets that are held in a business model with the objective of collecting contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest ("SPPI") are measured at amortized cost ("AC"). The Company's trade and other receivables are measured at amortized cost. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income when the trade and other receivables are derecognized or impaired.

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

Financial assets that are held for trading and derivative assets are required to be measured at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). Financial assets that meet certain conditions may be designated at fair value through profit and loss upon initial recognition. Upon initial recognition, attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit and loss as incurred.

j. Financial instruments (continued)

Financial Assets (continued):

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (continued)

Assets in this category are subsequently measured at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit and loss. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based on changes in observable prices in active markets or by a valuation technique where no market exists.

The company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are designed as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss.

Fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets that are held to both collect contractual cash flows and for sale are required to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"). Other financial assets, provided they are not held for trading and have not been designated as at fair value through profit and loss, can be designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition.

Gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the available for sale reserve within equity, except for the accretion in value based on the effective interest method, impairment losses and foreign exchange differences on monetary assets, which are recognized in profit and loss. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income for which fair value cannot be estimated reliably, are measured at cost and any impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss. Upon initial recognition, attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit and loss as incurred. When the asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit and loss and presented as a reclassification adjustment within other comprehensive income.

Financial Liabilities:

Financial liabilities are categorized as follows for subsequent measurement:

Amortized cost

Financial liabilities that are not otherwise measured as at fair value through profit and loss or designated at fair value are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Any host contract in a hybrid instrument is also measured at amortized cost. Gains and losses are recognized in profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognized. Transaction costs incurred in connection with the issuance of loans and borrowings are capitalized and recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the related financial liabilities and amortized using the effective interest method.

The Company's financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include trade payables, accrued liabilities, lease liability, promissory note payable and CEBA loan.

j. Financial instruments (continued)

Financial Liabilities (continued):

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss

Financial liabilities that are held for trading and stand-alone derivative liabilities are required to be measured at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). When certain conditions are satisfied, embedded derivatives are required to be separately recognized and measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in profit and loss. A designation can be made at initial recognition for financial liabilities that include one or more embedded derivatives, provided the host contract is not a financial asset, to measure the entire hybrid instrument at fair value. Where certain criteria are met, for example measurement at amortized cost would create measurement inconsistencies, the financial liability can also be designated at fair value. For such designated financial liabilities, the amount of the change in fair value that relates to changes in the entity's own credit risk is recognized in other comprehensive income and the remaining amount of the change in fair value is recognized in profit and loss. All contingent consideration payable is also included in this category.

The Company has not designated any financial instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.

The fair values of financial liabilities are based on changes in observable prices in active markets or by a valuation technique where no market exists. Transaction costs attributable to the issuance of financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are recognized in profit and loss as incurred.

Classification:

All financial instruments measured at fair value and for which fair value is disclosed are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities:

(i) Level 1 Inputs - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date;

(ii) Level 2 Inputs - 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); and

(iii) Level 3 Inputs - techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Financial Liabilities (continued):

De-recognition:

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.

 

Measurement category under IFRS 9

Cash and cash equivalents

Financial assets at FVTPL

Short-term investments

Financial assets at FVTPL

Trade and other receivables

Financial assets at amortized cost

Trade payables, accrued liabilities,
lease liability, promissory note payable
and CEBA loan

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

k. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Onerous Contracts: A provision for onerous contracts would be recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision would be measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company would recognize any impairment loss on the assets associated with the contract.

3. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

l. Accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.

Estimates are based on a number of factors, including historical experience, current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty. Key areas of estimation, where management has made subjective judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain, are the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of deferred income taxes, useful lives and amortization of depreciable assets, measurement of share- based compensation plan and provisions. Significant changes in assumptions could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses.

m. Earnings per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings or loss per share (EPS) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for its own shares held. Diluted EPS is determined by the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares adjusted for its own shares held.

n. Application of new International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")

The following standards have been adopted on December 1, 2019:

IFRS 16 Leases ("IFRS 16"): This standard replaces IAS 17 Leases ("IAS 17"). This standard introduces a single lease accounting model for lessees that will result in the recognition of a right-of- use asset, as well as a lease liability reflecting the present value of future lease payments. Depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset and interest expense on the lease liability will replace the operating lease expenses that were recognized under IAS 17. This new pronouncement is effective for the period on or after January 1, 2019.

IFRS 16 Leases ("IFRS 16"): This standard replaces IAS 17 Leases ("IAS 17"). This standard introduces a single lease accounting model for lessees that will result in the recognition of a right-of- use asset, as well as a lease liability reflecting the present value of future lease payments. Depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset and interest expense on the lease liability will replace the operating lease expenses that were recognized under IAS 17. This new pronouncement is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

3. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

n. Application of new International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") (continued)

The Company adopted this standard effective December 1, 2019. Upon lease commencement, a right of use asset and lease liability is recognized. The right of use asset is initially measured at the amount of lease liability plus any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee. After lease commencement, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost less accumulated amortization. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. Subsequently, the lease liability is measured on an amortized cost basis using an effective interest method.

4. Capital Structure

The capital structure of the Company consists principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and shareholders' equity comprised of retained earnings and share capital. The Company's strategy is to minimize the use of debt financing to fund growth and manage its capital structure in light of economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company's primary uses of capital are to finance non-cash working capital requirements and capital expenditures, which are currently funded from its internally generated cash flows. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital. The Company's objectives in managing capital are to ensure sufficient liquidity to pursue its strategy of growth and to deploy capital to provide an appropriate return on investment to its shareholders. There are no changes from the prior year in the Company's capital structure.

Relevant factors impacting the Company's capital structure are as follows:

    November 30     November 30  
    2020     2019  
             
Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,283,035   $ 1,889,330  
Share capital $ 1,102,694   $ 1,102,694  
Contributed surplus $ 164,314   $ 135,060  
Retained earnings $ 491,636   $ 1,455,421  
Total equity $ 1,758,644   $ 2,693,175  

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments in light of economic conditions and the risk characteristics of underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may purchase shares for cancellation, issue new shares, issue new debt or issue new debt to replace existing debt with different characteristics.

During the year ended November 30, 2020, the Company entered into an aircraft purchase agreement with a related party, whereby it purchased a Cessna C-750 Citation X Aircraft for a total consideration of $3,912,650. The purchase price is to be paid as follows:

(i) The initial payment of $1,500,000 is in the form of a credit issued by the Company to the seller against outstanding accounts between the buyer and the seller.

(ii) The balance is a promissory note of $2,412,650 with interest payable on the unpaid principal at the rate of 5.00 percent per annum, calculated annually. This promissory note will be repaid in consecutive monthly installments of $20,000 for 48 months with the balance then owing under this note being paid at that time.

The Company has an incentive stock option plan in place for its directors, officers, employees and consultants. Options may be granted for a period not exceeding five years at an option price not less than the market price of the shares at the time the option is granted subject to a minimum price of $0.10. The maximum number of common shares which may be set aside for issuance under the plan is 907,877. From time to time, such number may be increased subject to approval of the shareholders of the Company. The maximum number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance to any one person under the plan is 5% (2% with respect to consultants) of the common shares outstanding at the time of the grant, less the number of shares reserved for issuance to such person.

On October 08, 2020, the Company granted 125,000 options to a total of five directors to purchase common shares exercisable at a price of $0.10125 per common share with an expiry date of October 08, 2025. These stock options vest immediately upon issuance. In addition, the Company granted 450,000 options to its President and CEO to purchase common shares exercisable at a price of $0.10125 per common share with an expiry date of October 08, 2025. The stock options shall vest in three tranches of 150,000 each, with the first tranche vested immediately and the two subsequent tranches to be vested on July 01, 2021 and July 01, 2022 respectively. The total fair value of $29,254 was estimated for 275,000 options vested immediately, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming, a risk-free interest rate of 0.37%, an expected volatility of 103.25% and an expected life of 5 years. The granting of these options resulted in a stock-based compensation expense of $29,254 being recorded during the year ended November 30, 2020.

There were no options granted in the year ended November 30, 2019.

13. Financial Instruments and Risk Factors (Continued)

Risk Management (continued)

a) Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, comprise primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk of these items is the carrying amount as reported on the financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at a major Canadian financial institution. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal risk. Credit risk on trade and other receivables is minimized as a result of the constant review and evaluation of the account balances. The Company also maintains an allowance for credit losses at an estimated amount, allocating sufficient protection against losses resulting from collecting less than full payments from its receivables. There is no indication, as at this date, that the debtors will not meet their obligations, except as has been provided for as bad debts during the reporting periods. The Company manages its credit risk relating to its trade receivables through credit approval and monitoring procedures, including senior management prior approval of all sales. Such approvals are based on trade information, payment history, credit rating and financial analysis, where possible.

b) Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk as certain operating activities which are transacted in US dollars, resulting in the holding of related financial instruments in US dollars. At the statement date, the Company had financial instruments denominated in US currency as shown below. Management has not deemed it necessary to use derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk.

In US dollars   November 30     November 30  
    2020     2019  
             
Cash $ 31,764   $ 184,838  
Trade and other receivables   -     -  
Trade payable and accrued liabilities   (317,521 )   (134,433 )
             
Net US dollar assets (liabilities)   ($285,757 ) $ 50,405  

The amounts were translated at the US dollar / Canadian dollar exchange rate of 1.2965 as at November 30, 2020 (1.3289 as at November 30, 2019).

13. Financial Instruments and Risk Factors (Continued)

Risk Management (continued)

c) Concentration Risk

The Company is exposed to customer concentration risk as the Company's ability to continue its operations depends heavily on the retention of the existing contracts with independent corporations for the care, custody and control of their aircraft. The Company mitigates these risks and uncertainties by focusing its sales energies on securing additional customer contracts and exploring for new related revenue streams.

d) Market Risk

The Company's investments are exposed to market risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investments. The Company manages market risk through diversification and investing only in blue-chip equities with a history of stable return listed on various public stock exchanges. Senior management reviews the equity portfolio on a regular basis.

e) Liquidity Risk

The Company is exposed to liquidity risk to the extent that it is required to meet its financial obligations as these become due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient cash and other current financial assets to meet its obligations when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or damage to the Company's reputation. Management forecasts cash flows to identify financing requirements. These requirements are then addressed through a combination of cash management and access to additional capital.

f) Sensitivity Analysis

Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that a 10% movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates that may reasonably be expected to occur over the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on the Company.

14. Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy

For the year ended November 30, 2020, the Company recognized a $373,943 other income related to the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) program. The government is proposing to further extend the wage subsidy program until June 2021 and implement other enhancements to the program to better respond to the evolving economic and health situation. These proposed changes will make the program more flexible and more generous, and ensure that the program provides continued support to employers. The Company continues to review its revenue relative to historic levels on a period-over-period basis to determine if the Company can apply and receive future funding under the CEWS program.

15. Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy

For the year ended November 30, 2020, the Company recognized a $12,457 other income related to the new Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy (CERS) program. The new CERS, which would provide simple and easy-to-access rent and mortgage support until June 2021 for qualifying organizations affected by COVID-19. The rent subsidy would be provided directly to tenants, while also providing support to property owners. The new CERS would support businesses, charities, and non-profits that have suffered a revenue drop, by subsidizing a percentage of their expenses, on a sliding scale, up to a maximum of 65 per cent of eligible expenses until December 19, 2020. The Company has claimed for the periods from September 27, 2020 to November 21, 2020. The Company continues to review its revenue relative to historic levels on a period- over-period basis to determine if the Company can apply and receive future funding under the CERS program.

16. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes differs from that which would be expected by applying the combined federal and provincial statutory rates. A reconciliation of the difference is as follows:

    November 30     November 30  
    2020     2019  
(Loss) before (recovery) $ (986,333 ) $ (87,061 )
Income tax rate   26.50%     26.50%  
Expected income tax (recovery)   (261,378 )   (23,071 )
Add (Deduct):            
Permanent Tax Differences   -     -  
Temporary Tax Differences   (22,548 )   1,841  
Tax (recovery) $ (283,926 ) $ (21,230 )
             
Current income tax (recovery)   (283,926 )   (21,230 )
Future income tax expense   -     -  
  $ (283,926 ) $ (21,230 )

The components of future income taxes are calculated using an expected tax rate of 26.50% (2019 - 26.50%) as follows:

    November 30     November 30  
    2020     2019  
Future income tax asset (liability)            
Net Operating Losses Carryforward $ -   $ -  
Property, plant and equipment   (91,922 )   -  
Valuation Allowances   91,922     -  
Total future income tax asset (liability) $ -   $ -  

The Company has no non-capital losses available to offset future income, for tax purposes.

17. Reclassifications

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Net income and shareholders' equity were not affected by these reclassifications.

18. Subsequent Events

The Canadian economy continues to be affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and significant uncertainties remain. Air travel both with commercial scheduled and private aviation service has severely been impacted. This uncertainty in the economy has and will continue to pose a major challenge to the ongoing operations of all travel related companies. The Company cannot fully anticipate all the impacts of COVID-19 on it operations and results, or precisely when the situation will improve. The Company has implemented a series of operational, commercial and financial measures, including cost reduction, aimed at preserving its cash. The volatile effect of this COVID19 pandemic on the economy and the Company is not currently determinable but will pose a major business risk on a go forward basis.

1. Nature of Business

Partner Jet Corp. (the "Company") through its subsidiary carries on the business of a full service aircraft management, private aircraft charter sales and flight support services capable of operating a wide range of corporate aircraft. The Company's revenue is generated through aircraft management contracts, charter and sub-charter activities, and aircraft maintenance contracts. The Company was incorporated under the laws of Ontario on December 17, 1987 and the registered address of the Company is 2450 Derry Road East, Hangar 9, Mississauga, ON L5S 1B2. Its shares are currently listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) under the symbol "PJT".

2. Statement of Compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company, approved by the Board of Directors on October 15, 2021, have been prepared consistently in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are based on IFRS effective or issued as at October 15, 2021.

The notes present in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements include only significant event and transactions and do not include all matters normally disclosed in the Company's annual audited financial statements and are therefore referred to as condensed.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2020.

3. Summary of Accounting Policies

a. Basis of preparation

These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments measured at fair value through profit and loss or amortized cost. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

These financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the financial statements from the date the control commences until the date control ceases.

All intra-company balances and transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Partner Jet Inc.

3. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

b. Revenue recognition

The Company earns the majority of its revenue from aircraft management, aircraft maintenance and charter revenue from charter of third party aircraft, as well as the Company's owned aircraft.

Revenue is recognized as follows:

i) Revenue from aircraft operating contracts and aircraft management fees is recognized on a monthly basis in accordance with the client operating contracts.

ii) Revenue from aircraft maintenance is recognized monthly based on the work performed to date.

iii) Revenue from aircraft charter is recognized at the completion of each charter flight.

iv) Unearned revenue arises from fees for aircraft management, charters and aircraft maintenance billed in advance of the period in which the service is provided.

Revenue is only recognized to the extent that evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is reasonably certain, the sales price is fixed or determinable and title and risk have passed to the customer and the cost of sales is readily determinable.

IFRS 15 applies a single model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. This standard applies to all contracts with customers, with only some exceptions, including certain contracts accounted for under other IFRSs. The standard requires revenue to be recognized in a manner that depicts the completion of services to a customer and at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring those services. This is achieved by applying the following five steps: i) identify the contract with a customer; ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; iii) determine the transaction price; iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

c. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term guaranteed investment certificates, which are carried at the lower of cost and fair value. Cash equivalents are highly liquid and mature within a 90-day period from the date of purchase.

d. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition and bringing the asset to the location and condition for its intended use. Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives using the following methods and annual rates:

Aircraft

Cost less than residual value on straight line basis over the useful life

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis. An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

Property and equipment are grouped into cash generating units (CGU) and reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the CGU may not be recoverable.

e. Income taxes

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized using the liability method, with respect to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Any such reduction will be reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable income will be provided.

3. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

f. Foreign currency translation

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, 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. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Management has determined that the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar.

g. Share-based payment arrangements

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions was determined using the Black-Scholes Model.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity (equity-settled employee benefits reserve). At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve.

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.

h. Impairment of tangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

3. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

h. Impairment of tangible assets (continued)

If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit and loss.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash- generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount. However, the increased carrying amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

i. Equity

The Company's equity comprises the proceeds received for its issued common shares less any costs of issuance, contributed surplus arising from the fair value of the stock options granted and its net and comprehensive profit/loss since incorporation.

j. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value plus transaction costs, except for financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value through net income or loss, which are measured initially at fair value.

Financial Assets:

Financial assets are categorized for subsequent measurement as follows:

Amortized cost

Financial assets that are held in a business model with the objective of collecting contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest ("SPPI") are measured at amortized cost ("AC"). The Company's trade and other receivables are measured at amortized cost. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income when the trade and other receivables are derecognized or impaired.

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

Financial assets that are held for trading and derivative assets are required to be measured at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). Financial assets that meet certain conditions may be designated at fair value through profit and loss upon initial recognition. Upon initial recognition, attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit and loss as incurred.

3. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

j. Financial instruments (continued) Financial Assets (continued):

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (continued)

Assets in this category are subsequently measured at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit and loss. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based on changes in observable prices in active markets or by a valuation technique where no market exists.

The company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are designed as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss.

Fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets that are held to both collect contractual cash flows and for sale are required to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"). Other financial assets, provided they are not held for trading and have not been designated as at fair value through profit and loss, can be designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition.

Gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the available for sale reserve within equity, except for the accretion in value based on the effective interest method, impairment losses and foreign exchange differences on monetary assets, which are recognized in profit and loss. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income for which fair value cannot be estimated reliably, are measured at cost and any impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss. Upon initial recognition, attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit and loss as incurred. When the asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit and loss and presented as a reclassification adjustment within other comprehensive income.

Financial Liabilities:

Financial liabilities are categorized as follows for subsequent measurement:

Amortized cost

Financial liabilities that are not otherwise measured as at fair value through profit and loss or designated at fair value are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Any host contract in a hybrid instrument is also measured at amortized cost. Gains and losses are recognized in profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognized. Transaction costs incurred in connection with the issuance of loans and borrowings are capitalized and recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the related financial liabilities and amortized using the effective interest method.

The Company's financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include trade payables, accrued liabilities, lease liability, promissory note payable and CEBA loan.

3. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

j. Financial instruments (continued)

Financial Liabilities (continued):

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss

Financial liabilities that are held for trading and stand-alone derivative liabilities are required to be measured at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). When certain conditions are satisfied, embedded derivatives are required to be separately recognized and measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in profit and loss. A designation can be made at initial recognition for financial liabilities that include one or more embedded derivatives, provided the host contract is not a financial asset, to measure the entire hybrid instrument at fair value. Where certain criteria are met, for example measurement at amortized cost would create measurement inconsistencies, the financial liability can also be designated at fair value. For such designated financial liabilities, the amount of the change in fair value that relates to changes in the entity's own credit risk is recognized in other comprehensive income and the remaining amount of the change in fair value is recognized in profit and loss. All contingent consideration payable is also included in this category.

The Company has not designated any financial instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.

The fair values of financial liabilities are based on changes in observable prices in active markets or by a valuation technique where no market exists. Transaction costs attributable to the issuance of financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are recognized in profit and loss as incurred.

Classification:

All financial instruments measured at fair value and for which fair value is disclosed are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities:

(i) Level 1 Inputs - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date;

(ii) Level 2 Inputs - 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); and

(iii) Level 3 Inputs - techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

3. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

j. Financial instruments (continued) Financial Liabilities (continued):

De-recognition:

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.

 

Measurement category under IFRS 9

Cash and cash equivalents

Financial assets at FVTPL

Short-term investments

Financial assets at FVTPL

Trade and other receivables

Financial assets at amortized cost

Trade payables, accrued liabilities, lease liability, promissory note payable and CEBA loan

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

k. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Onerous Contracts: A provision for onerous contracts would be recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision would be measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company would recognize any impairment loss on the assets associated with the contract.

l. Accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.

3. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

l. Accounting judgments and estimates (continued)

Estimates are based on a number of factors, including historical experience, current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty. Key areas of estimation, where management has made subjective judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain, are the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of deferred income taxes, useful lives and amortization of depreciable assets, measurement of share- based compensation plan and provisions. Significant changes in assumptions could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses.

m. Earnings per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings or loss per share (EPS) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for its own shares held. Diluted EPS is determined by the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares adjusted for its own shares held.

4. Capital Structure

The capital structure of the Company consists principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and shareholders' equity comprised of retained earnings and share capital. The Company's strategy is to minimize the use of debt financing to fund growth and manage its capital structure in light of economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company's primary uses of capital are to finance non-cash working capital requirements and capital expenditures, which are currently funded from its internally generated cash flows. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital. The Company's objectives in managing capital are to ensure sufficient liquidity to pursue its strategy of growth and to deploy capital to provide an appropriate return on investment to its shareholders.

Relevant factors impacting the Company's capital structure are as follows:

    August 31     November 30  
    2021     2020  
Cash and cash equivalents $ 498,093   $ 1,283,035  
Share capital $ 1,102,694   $ 1,102,694  
Contributed surplus $ 164,314   $ 164,314  
Retained earnings   ($132,053 ) $ 753,014  
Total equity $ 1,134,955   $ 2,020,022  

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments in light of economic conditions and the risk characteristics of underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may purchase shares for cancellation, issue new shares, issue new debt or issue new debt to replace existing debt with different characteristics.

12. Financial Instruments and Risk Factors (Continued)

Risk Management

The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. The Company's financial instruments comprise of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, and trade payables and accrued liabilities. Disclosures relating to exposure to risks, in particular credit risk, foreign currency risk, concentration risk, market risk and liquidity risk are provided below.

a) Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, comprise primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk of these items is the carrying amount as reported on the financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at a major Canadian financial institution. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal risk. Credit risk on trade and other receivables is minimized as a result of the constant review and evaluation of the account balances. The Company also maintains an allowance for credit losses at an estimated amount, allocating sufficient protection against losses resulting from collecting less than full payments from its receivables. There is no indication, as at this dates, that the debtors will not meet their obligations, except as has been provided for as bad debts during the reporting periods. The Company manages its credit risk relating to its trade receivables through credit approval and monitoring procedures, including senior management prior approval of all sales. Such approvals are based on trade information, payment history, credit rating and financial analysis, where possible.

b) Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk as certain of its operating activities are transacted in US dollars, resulting in the holding of related financial instruments in US dollars. At the statement date, the Company had financial instruments denominated in US currency as shown below. Management has not deemed it necessary to use derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk.

In US dollars   August 31     November 30  
    2021     2020  
             
Cash $ 668   $ 31,764  
Trade and other receivables   2,400     -  
Trade payable and accrued liabilities   (68,198 )   (317,521 )
             
Net US dollar (liabilities)   ($65,130 )   ($285,757 )

The amounts were translated at the US dollar / Canadian dollar exchange rate of 1.2617 as at August 31, 2021 (1.2965 as at November 30, 2020).

12. Financial Instruments and Risk Factors (Continued)

Risk Management (continued)

c) Concentration Risk

The Company is exposed to customer concentration risk as the Company's ability to continue its operations depends heavily on the retention of the existing contracts with independent corporations for the care, custody and control of their aircraft. The Company mitigates these risks and uncertainties by focusing its sales energies on securing additional customer contracts and exploring for new related revenue streams.

d) Market Risk

The Company's investments are exposed to market risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investments. The Company manages market risk through diversification and investing only in blue-chip equities with a history of stable return listed on various public stock exchanges. Senior management reviews the equity portfolio on a regular basis.

e) Liquidity Risk

The Company is exposed to liquidity risk to the extent that it is required to meet its financial obligations as these become due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient cash and other current financial assets to meet its obligations when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or damage to the Company's reputation. Management forecasts cash flows to identify financing requirements. These requirements are then addressed through a combination of cash management and access to additional capital.

f) Sensitivity Analysis

Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that a 10% movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates that may reasonably be expected to occur over the next twelve months period will not have a significant impact on the Company.

13. Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy

For the three months ended August 31, 2021, the Company recognized a $114,279 other income related to the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) program. With the Wage Subsidy has been extended to October 23, 2021, in order to bridge businesses and workers through to a strong recovery. The Company continues to review its revenue relative to historic levels on a period-over-period basis to determine if the Company can apply and receive future funding under the CEWS program.

14. Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy

For the three months ended August 31, 2021, the Company recognized a $31,799 other income related to the Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy (CERS) program. With the Rent Subsidy has been extended to October 23, 2021, in order to bridge businesses and workers through to a strong recovery. The Company continues to review its revenue relative to historic levels on a period-over-period basis to determine if the Company can apply and receive future funding under the CERS program.

15. Reclassifications

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Net income and shareholders' equity were not affected by these reclassifications.

16. Subsequent Events

Partner Jet and Volatus Aerospace Corp. executed a definitive amalgamation agreement dated June 30, 2021 (the "Definitive Agreement") which outlines the terms and conditions pursuant to which Volatus and Partner Jet will complete the Reverse Take-Over. As detailed in a Press Release dated 30 June 2021, Under the terms of the Definitive Agreement, it is proposed that Partner Jet and Volatus will amalgamate pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) to form a new corporation called Volatus Aerospace Corp. which will carry on the business of Volatus as its primary business while continuing to carry on the current business of Partner Jet as well.

Partner Jet shareholders will receive an Information Circular providing comprehensive details about the Reverse Take-over and the business of Volatus prior to a Partner Jet shareholder meeting that will be scheduled to consider the approval of the amalgamation. The draft Information Circular was submitted to the TSX-V Exchange on July 30, 2021 for their review and approval. TSX-V approval is pending as of the date of this Management's Discussion and Analysis document.

The Canadian economy continues to be affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and significant uncertainties remain. Air travel both with commercial scheduled and private aviation service continues to be severely impacted. This uncertainty in the economy has and will continue to pose a major challenge to the ongoing operations of all travel related companies. The Company cannot fully anticipate all the impacts of COVID-19 on its operations and results, or precisely when the situation will improve. The Company has implemented a series of operational, commercial and financial measures, including cost reduction, aimed at preserving its cash. The volatile effect of this COVID19 pandemic on the economy and the Company is not currently determinable but will pose a major business risk on a go forward basis.

The consolidated financial statements ("financial statement") have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and all amounts, unless otherwise indicated, are expressed in Canadian dollars. The audited consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the year ended November 30, 2020 were reviewed and approved by the Company's Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. This discussion covers the last completed fiscal year and the subsequent period up to the date of the filing of this MD&A. This MD&A is dated February 05, 2021.

Additional information on the Company can be found on the Company's website at www.partnerjet.com and through the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com.

2. Forward Looking Statements

This management's discussion and analysis contains statements about expected future events and financial and operating results of Partner Jet Corp. that are forward looking. By their nature, forward looking statements require the Company to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. These forward looking statements are based on the current estimates and opinions of management. There is substantial risk that forward looking statements will not prove to be accurate. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Company's forward looking statements as a number of factors including economic conditions, the effect of the ongoing COVID- 19 pandemic, industry change, technological change, regulatory change, and competitive factors, could cause actual future results, conditions, actions or events to differ materially from targets, expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in the forward looking statements; many of which are beyond the Company's control. A significant risk factor identified by the Company which could cause actual results to differ materially from the current expectations is the retention of the existing contracts with independent corporations for the care, custody and control of their aircraft. The Company mitigates these risks and uncertainties by focusing its sales energies on securing additional customer contracts and exploring for new related revenue streams. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.

3. Overview

Partner Jet Corp. is incorporated under the laws of Ontario and its shares are currently posted for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (PJT:TSX-V). The Company, through its subsidiary Partner Jet Inc., carries on the business of a full service aircraft management, private aircraft charter sales and flight support services capable of operating a wide range of corporate aircraft.

2450 Derry Road East, Hangar 9, Mississauga, ON, L5S 1B2 Tel: 905-676-0092 Fax: 905-676-0192 www.partnerjet.com


3. Overview (Continued)

Essential to the management contracts are the CAR Part 604, 703 and 704 private and commercial licenses granted by Transport Canada to Partner Jet Inc. These licenses permit Partner Jet Inc. to operate private flights on behalf of aircraft owners, and commercial flights under a domestic and international air taxi service authority utilizing small turboprop and jet aircraft. This service is offered for transportation within Canada and to international destinations.

Partner Jet Corp. and its subsidiary are located at one centralized location at 2450 Derry Road East, Hangar #9, Mississauga, Ontario. These facilities house activities that include: sales, reservations, dispatch, maintenance, administration and accounting.

The Company's overall financial performance for the year ended November 30, 2020 declined from the previous fiscal year. The result of this performance was a net loss after income taxes for the year ended November 30, 2020 of ($963,785), compared to the year ended November 30, 2019 net loss after income taxes of ($65,831). The loss per share for the fiscal 2020 was ($0.1062) compared to the fiscal 2019 loss per share of ($0.0073).

The Company's working capital of $527,579 as at November 30, 2020 decreased by $2,148,258 from the November 30, 2019 amount of $2,675,837. This decrease is due to the purchase of an aircraft for revenue generating charter activities and loss from operations, offset by appropriate cash management, monitoring of accounts receivables, and control over prepaid expenses, accounts payables and accrued liabilities. Correspondingly, while the Company has a long-term debt relating to the acquisition of the aircraft, it is able to fund all capital requirements and all operations with internally generated cash flow and working capital.

The Company's intention is to continue to grow by marketing its product mix throughout the Canadian marketplace while exploring for possible opportunities for expansion into related product offerings.

4. Discussions of Operations

The Company's operations consist of revenues generated from the management, chartering of excess capacity, and maintenance of aircraft owned by independent corporations. The results of operations for the three and twelve months ended November 30, 2020 and November 30, 2019 are as follows:

Aircraft Management   Revenue     Expense     Margin     Margin  
    $     $     $     %  
                         
Fiscal 2020 4th Quarter   567,866     464,097     103,769     18.3%  
Fiscal 2019 4th Quarter   1,135,208     925,490     209,718     18.5%  
                         
Fiscal 2020   3,222,186     2,742,365     479,821     14.9%  
Fiscal 2019   4,586,876     3,905,563     681,313     14.9%  

Aircraft management revenue for the quarter ended November 30, 2020 was $567,866, a decrease of $567,342 (a decrease of 49.97%) from the same period in fiscal 2019. The decreased volume was primarily due to the decreased aircraft flying activity directly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The aircraft operating cost for the quarter ended November 30, 2020 was $464,097, a decrease of $461,393 (a decrease of 49.85%) from the same period in fiscal 2019. This decrease in aircraft operating cost was due to the proportionate decrease in aircraft flying activities as noted above.

4. Discussions of Operations (Continued)

The net result of these changes was a positive fourth quarter margin contribution from aircraft management services of $103,769.

Aircraft management revenue for the twelve months ended November 30, 2020 was $3,222,186, a decrease of $1,364,690 (a decrease of 29.75%) from the same period in fiscal 2019. The decreased revenue was primarily due to the decreased aircraft flying activities due to the COVID19 pandemic.

The aircraft operating cost for the twelve months ended November 30, 2020 was $2,742,365, a decrease of $1,163,198 (a decrease of 29.78%) from the same period in fiscal 2019. This proportionate decrease in aircraft operating cost was due to the decrease in aircraft flying activities as noted above.

The net result of these changes was a positive fiscal 2020 margin contribution from aircraft management services of $479,821.

Charter Activities   Revenue     Expense     Margin     Margin  
    $     $     $     %  
                         
Fiscal 2020 4th Quarter   658,887     798,666     (139,779 )   (21.2%)  
Fiscal 2019 4th Quarter   619,487     544,880     74,607     12.0%  
                         
Fiscal 2020   1,924,730     2,454,730     (530,000 )   (27.5%)  
Fiscal 2019   2,276,144     2,075,541     200,603     8.8%  

The charter rates per hour charged by the Company for each of the aircraft managed by the Company remain unchanged for fiscal 2020, fixed by the long-term contracts with the aircraft owners.

The revenue from charter activities for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $658,887, an increase of $39,400 (an increase of 6.36%) from the same period in fiscal 2019. The increase was attributed to the increased flight volumes from our charter customers.

The cost from charter activities for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $798,666, an increase of $253,786 (an increase of 46.58%) from the same period in fiscal 2019. This proportionate increase was due to non-recurring start-up costs associated with the introduction of the newly acquired Citation X aircraft into dedicated charter service and the increase in flight volumes as noted above.

The charter activities made a ($139,779) negative contribution to the operating margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to $74,607 for the same period in fiscal 2019.

The revenue from charter activities for the twelve months ended November 30, 2020 was $1,924,730, a decrease of $351,414 (a decrease of 15.44%) from the same period in fiscal 2019. The decrease was attributable to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The overall private aircraft charter market was significantly affected during the period March to October 2020. Partner Jet's charter flight volumes temporarily halted during this period and started to recover only in November 2020.

The cost from charter activities for the twelve months ended November 30, 2020 was $2,454,730, an increase of $379,189 (an increase of 18.27%) from the same period in fiscal 2019. This proportionate increase was due to non-recurring start-up costs associated with the introduction of a Citation X aircraft into dedicated charter service offset by the decrease in flight volumes as noted above.

Controlling customer costs are basic to the Company's fleet growth. Scaled maintenance support has been subcontracted to established aircraft maintenance organizations (AMO) licensed to support all aircraft types operated by the Company and able to supply services on demand. This has significantly reduced costs while improving dispatch performance, work quality and customer satisfaction. Sustained cost control remains critical to attracting and retaining management customers. Aircraft maintenance revenue for the quarter ended November 30, 2020 was $94,302, a decrease of $216,734 (a decrease of 69.68%) from the same period in fiscal 2019. The decrease in maintenance revenue was related to the lower levels of scheduled maintenance as a result of reduced flying activity. As noted above this was the result of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Aircraft maintenance cost for the quarter ended November 30, 2020 was $92,280, a decrease of $216,273 (a decrease of 70.09%) from the same period in fiscal 2019. The decrease was directly related to the low levels of scheduled maintenance as noted above.

The Company has an incentive stock option plan in place for its directors, officers, employees and consultants. Options may be granted for a period not exceeding five years at an option price not less than the market price of the shares at the time the option is granted subject to a minimum price of $0.10. The maximum number of common shares which may be set aside for issuance under the plan is 907,877. From time to time, such number may be increased subject to approval of the shareholders of the Company. The maximum number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance to any one person under the plan is 5% (2% with respect to consultants) of the common shares outstanding at the time of the grant, less the number of shares reserved for issuance to such person.

On October 08, 2020, the Company granted 125,000 options to a total of five directors to purchase common shares exercisable at a price of $0.10125 per common share with an expiry date of October 08, 2025. These stock options vest immediately upon issuance. In addition, the Company granted 450,000 options to its President and CEO to purchase common shares exercisable at a price of $0.10125 per common share with an expiry date of October 08, 2025. The stock options shall vest in three tranches of 150,000 each, with the first tranche vested immediately and the two subsequent tranches to be vested on July 01, 2021 and July 01, 2022 respectively. The total fair value of $29,254 was estimated for 275,000 options vested immediately, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming, a risk-free interest rate of 0.37%, an expected volatility of 103.25% and an expected life of 5 years. The granting of these options resulted in a stock-based compensation expense of $29,254 being recorded during the year ended November 30, 2020.

There were no options granted in the year ended November 30, 2019.

9. Related Party Transactions (Continued)

Effective cost control remains crucial to preserving customer loyalty and sustaining growth. Through these arrangements, the Company is able to leverage the Related Companies' existing commercial arrangements to obtain labour, fuel and insurance at a discount to prevailing market prices. In particular, FSS provides operational services and fuel supplies. The Related Companies have supplied overload staff and administrative services to the Company from time to time as required on a scalable basis to permit the Company to limit fixed staff commitments. In each case, the Services provided are services that are required for the Company to operate its business. The purpose of obtaining the Services from the Related Companies is that the Company is able to obtain these services on terms superior to those that would otherwise be available to the Company if the Services were contracted from a third party.

During fiscal 2019, the Company maintained an arrangement with MX Aerospace Inc., an aircraft maintenance service provider 100% owned and controlled by Ian McDougall as reported in prior Management Discussion and Analysis Reports. Such services have been provided by a third-party maintenance provider throughout fiscal year 2020 and have not been the subject of a Related Party transaction.

The related party transactions are reviewed by the Audit Committee which is made up exclusively of independent directors. Material includes competitive standards and quotes and identifiable gain for Partner Jet in terms of costs and revenues.

10. Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.

Reported amounts which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions include allowance for doubtful accounts, share based payments, property, plant and equipment, and deferred taxes. These items are discussed below.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The Company reviews the age of accounts receivables, the credit history of the customers, and the financial strength of the customers to evaluate the collectability of the accounts receivables and provide for an allowance for doubtful accounts, if necessary, based on management's best estimates.

10


10. Critical Accounting Estimates

Share based payments

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 6.

Property, plant and equipment

Certain costs incurred are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The carrying value of the assets depends on the estimated useful life, which is the period over which the assets are written off. If the estimated useful lives of these assets were materially incorrect, the Company would experience increased or decreased changes to amortization charges in the future, which in turn would result in material changes to the net income.

Deferred taxes

Deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable income against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. The Company reviews the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period which is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

11. Accounting Policy Developments

Application of new International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")

The following standards have been adopted on December 1, 2019:

IFRS 16 Leases ("IFRS 16"): This standard replaces IAS 17 Leases ("IAS 17"). This standard introduces a single lease accounting model for lessees that will result in the recognition of a right- of-use asset, as well as a lease liability reflecting the present value of future lease payments. Depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset and interest expense on the lease liability will replace the operating lease expenses that were recognized under IAS 17. This new pronouncement is effective for the period on or after January 1, 2019.

The Company adopted this standard effective December 1, 2019. Upon lease commencement, a right of use asset and lease liability is recognized. The right of use asset is initially measured at the amount of lease liability plus any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee. After lease commencement, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost less accumulated amortization. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. Subsequently, the lease liability is measured on an amortized cost basis using an effective interest method.

12. Financial Instruments and Risk Factors

Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company has classified cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as financial assets, and measured at fair value through profit or loss. Trade and other receivables are classified as financial assets, and measured at amortized cost. Trade payables and accrued liabilities are classified as financial liabilities, and measured at amortized cost.

11


12. Financial Instruments and Risk Factors (Continued)

Financial Assets and Liabilities (continued)

The carrying values and fair values of financial assets and liabilities as at November 30, 2020 and November 30, 2019 are summarized as follows:

Fair Values

The carrying values of the Company's financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, and trade payables and accrued liabilities approximate the fair value due to their short-term maturity.

Risk Management

The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, and trade payable and accrued liabilities. Disclosures relating to exposure to risks, in particular credit risk, foreign currency risk, concentration risk, market risk and liquidity risk are provided below.

a) Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and trade and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk of these items is the carrying amount as reported on the financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at a major financial institution. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal risk. Credit risk on trade and other receivables are minimized as a result of the constant review and evaluation of the account balances. The Company also maintains an allowance for credit losses at an estimated amount, allocating sufficient protection against losses resulting from collecting less than full payments from its receivables. There is no indication, as at this date, that the debtors will not meet their obligations, except as has been provided for as bad debts during the reporting periods. The Company manages its credit risk relating to its trade receivables through credit approval and monitoring procedures, including senior management prior approval of all sales. Such approvals are based on trade information, payment history, credit rating and financial analysis, where possible.

b) Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk due to certain operating activities which are transacted in US dollars, resulting in the holding of related financial instruments in US dollars. At the statement date, the Company had financial instruments denominated in US currency as shown below. The Company has not deemed it necessary to use derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk.

In US Dollars   November 30, 2020     November 30, 2019  
Cash and cash equivalents $ 31,764   $ 184,838  
Trade payables and accrued liabilities   (317,521 )   (134,433 )
Net US Dollar (liabilities) assets   ($285,757 ) $ 50,405  

The amounts were translated at the US Dollar / Canadian Dollar exchange rate of 1.2965 as at November 30, 2020 (1.3289 as at November 30, 2019).

12


12. Financial Instruments and Risk Factors (Continued)

Risk Management (continued)

c) Concentration Risk

The Company is exposed to customer concentration risk as the Company's ability to continue its operations depends heavily on the retention of the existing contracts with independent corporations for the care, custody and control of their aircraft. The Company mitigates these risks and uncertainties by focusing its sales energies on securing additional customer contracts and exploring new related revenue streams.

d) Market Risk

The Company's investments are exposed to market risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investments. The Company manages the market risk through diversification and investing only in blue-chip equities with a history of stable return listed on various public stock exchanges. Senior management reviews the equity portfolio on a regular basis.

e) Liquidity Risk

The Company is exposed to liquidity risk to the extent that it is required to meet its financial obligations as these become due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient cash and other current financial assets to meet its obligations when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or damage to the Company's reputation. Management forecasts cash flows to identify financing requirements. These requirements are then addressed through a combination of cash management and access to additional capital.

f) Sensitivity Analysis

Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that a 10% movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates that may reasonably be expected to occur over the next twelve months period will not have a significant impact on the Company.

13. Reclassifications

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Net income and shareholders' equity were not affected by these reclassifications.

14. Subsequent Events

The Canadian economy continues to be affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and significant uncertainties remain. Air travel both with commercial scheduled and private aviation service has severely been impacted. This uncertainty in the economy has and will continue to pose a major challenge to the ongoing operations of all travel related companies. The Company cannot fully anticipate all the impacts of COVID-19 on it operations and results, or precisely when the situation will improve. The Company has implemented a series of operational, commercial and financial measures, including cost reduction, aimed at preserving its cash. The volatile effect of this COVID19 pandemic on the economy and the Company is not currently determinable but will pose a major business risk on a go forward basis.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the three and nine month periods ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020 were reviewed by the Company's Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. This discussion covers the last completed fiscal period and the subsequent period up to the date of the filing of this MD&A. This MD&A is dated October 15, 2021.

Additional information on the Company can be found on the Company's website at www.partnerjet.com and through the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com.

2. Forward Looking Statements

This management's discussion and analysis contains statements about expected future events and financial and operating results of Partner Jet Corp. that are forward looking. By their nature, forward looking statements require the Company to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based on the current estimates and opinions of management. There is substantial risk that forward looking statements will not prove to be accurate. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Company's forward looking statements as a number of factors including economic conditions, the effect of the ongoing COVID- 19 pandemic, industry change, technological change, regulatory change, and competitive factors, could cause actual future results, conditions, actions or events to differ materially from targets, expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in the forward looking statements; many of which are beyond the Company's control. A significant risk factor identified by the Company which could cause actual results to differ materially from the current expectations is the retention of the existing contracts with independent corporations for the care, custody and control of their aircraft. The Company mitigates these risks and uncertainties by focusing its sales energies on securing additional customer contracts and exploring for new related revenue streams such as growing third party charter activities. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.

3. Overview (Continued)

Essential to the management contracts are the CAR Part 604, 703 and 704 private and commercial licenses granted by Transport Canada to Partner Jet Inc. These licenses permit Partner Jet Inc. to operate private flights on behalf of aircraft owners, and commercial flights under a domestic and international air taxi service authority utilizing small turboprop and jet aircraft. This service is offered transportation within Canada and to international destinations.

Partner Jet Corp. continues to have its registered office at Pearson International Airport and its subsidiary, Partner Jet Inc., re-located its operations at one centralized location at 60 Airport Road, Oro-Medonte, Ontario. These facilities house activities that include sales, reservations, dispatch, maintenance, administration and accounting.

The Company's overall financial performance for the nine months ended August 31, 2021 declined from that of the same period in the previous fiscal year. The result of this performance was a net loss after income taxes for the nine months ended August 31, 2021 of ($885,067), compared to the same period ended August 31, 2020 of net loss after income taxes of ($562,952).

The Company's working capital of ($100,316) as at August 31, 2021 decreased by $627,895 from the November 30, 2020 amount of $527,579. This decrease is due to loss from operations, offset by appropriate cash management, monitoring of accounts receivables, and control over prepaid expenses, accounts payables and accrued liabilities.

The Company's intention is to continue to seek additional aircraft management contracts and grow its third party charter activities throughout the Canadian marketplace while exploring possible opportunities for expansion into related product offerings.

4. Discussions of Operations

The Company's operations consist of revenues generated from the management, chartering of excess capacity, and maintenance of aircraft owned by independent corporations and charter activities on Company owned aircraft. The results of operations for the nine months ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020 are as follows:

Aircraft Management   Revenue     Expense     Margin     Margin  
    $     $     $     %  
                         
Fiscal 2021 3rd Quarter   89,409     92,758     -3,349     -3.7%  
Fiscal 2020 3rd Quarter   910,256     738,916     171,340     18.8%  
                         
Fiscal 2021 1st Nine Months   942,382     763,484     178,898     19.0%  
Fiscal 2020 1st Nine Months   2,654,320     2,293,267     361,053     13.6%  

Aircraft management revenue for the quarter ended August 31, 2021 was $89,409, a decrease of $820,847 (a decrease of 90.18%) from the same period in fiscal 2020. The decreased volume reflects reduced customer flight activity within the Company's managed aircraft fleet attributable primarily to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated border travel restrictions and the loss of two management contracts. The general inactivity within the entire Toronto-based corporate aircraft fleet continues to have a major impact upon the competitive landscape. Fuel and time-based maintenance earnings have fallen substantially and the demand for hangar space and stationary management has risen dramatically. Intensified competition for these limited revenues has favored the two dominant Airport management companies which control the bulk of available hangar and FBO facilities at Toronto's airport. Like most mid-sized management providers the Company has relied on sub-leased hangars and office space, often supplied by our biggest competitors. The Company has experienced customer losses through the pandemic.

4. Discussions of Operations (Continued)

The aircraft operating cost for the quarter ended August 31, 2021 was $92,758, a decrease of $646,158 (a decrease of 87.45%) from the same period in fiscal 2020. This proportionate decrease in aircraft operating cost was due to the decreased managed aircraft activities noted above.

The net result of these changes was a negative third quarter margin contribution from aircraft management services of ($3,349).

Aircraft management revenue for the nine months ended August 31, 2021 was $942,382, a decrease of $1,711,938 (a decrease of 64.50%) from the same period in fiscal 2020. The decreased volume reflects reduced customer flight activity within the Company's managed aircraft fleet attributable primarily to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated border travel restrictions. The Company has experienced customer losses through the pandemic.

The aircraft operating cost for the nine months ended August 31, 2021 was $763,484, a decrease of $1,529,783 (a decrease of 66.71%) from the same period in fiscal 2020. This proportionate decrease in aircraft operating cost was due to the decreased managed aircraft activities noted above.

The net result of these changes was a positive first nine month's margin contribution from aircraft management services of $178,898.

Charter Activities   Revenue     Expense     Margin     Margin  
    $     $     $     %  
                         
Fiscal 2021 3rd Quarter   523,332     532,518     -9,186     -1.8%  
Fiscal 2020 3rd Quarter   453,730     665,372     -211,642     -46.6%  
                         
Fiscal 2021 1st Nine months   2,976,288     2,916,399     59,889     2.0%  
Fiscal 2020 1st Nine months   1,265,843     1,656,064     -390,221     -30.8%  

The charter rates per hour charged by Partner Jet for each of the aircraft managed by the Company remain unchanged for the first six months of fiscal 2021, fixed by the long-term contracts with the aircraft owners.

The revenue from charter activities for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $523,332, an increase of $69,602 (an increase of 15.34%) from the same period in fiscal 2020. The change reflects increased demand for charter services and being able to supply a wholly-owned and company- controlled aircraft which has been positioned as required to capture a large amount of charter opportunities through the period. This partially offset the reduced flight hours of aircraft owners over the quarter.

The cost from charter activities for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $532,518, a decrease of $132,854 (a decrease of 19.97%) from the same period in fiscal 2020. This proportionate decrease was due to incurred non-recurring start-up costs associated with the introduction of

a Citation X aircraft into dedicated charter service in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 offset the increase in flight volumes as noted above in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

The charter activities made a ($9,186) negative contribution to the operating margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to ($211,642) for the same period in fiscal 2020.

The revenue from charter activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was $2,976,288, an increase of $1,710,445 (an increase of 135.12%) from the same period in fiscal 2020. The change reflects increased demand for charter services and the Company's ability to supply a wholly-owned and dedicated charter aircraft which has been positioned as required to capture a large amount of charter opportunities through the period. This partially offset the reduced flight hours of aircraft owners over the first nine month of fiscal 2021.

The cost from charter activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was $2,916,399, an increase of $1,260,335 (an increase of 76.10%) from the same period in fiscal 2020. This proportionate increase was due to the increase in flight volumes as noted above in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 offset to incurred non-recurring start-up costs associated with the introduction of

a Citation X aircraft into dedicated charter service in the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

The charter activities made a $59,889 contribution to the operating margin in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 as compared to ($390,221) for the same period in fiscal 2020.

Aircraft Maintenance   Revenue     Expense     Margin     Margin  
    $     $     $     %  
                         
Fiscal 2021 3rd Quarter   14,574     13,692     882     6.1%  
Fiscal 2020 3rd Quarter   250,644     244,340     6,304     2.5%  
                         
Fiscal 2021 1st Nine months   208,101     200,991     7,110     3.4%  
Fiscal 2020 1st Nine months   1,488,912     1,444,196     44,716     3.0%  

Controlling customer costs are basic to the Company's fleet growth. Scaled maintenance support has been subcontracted to established aircraft maintenance organizations (AMO) licensed to support all aircraft types operated by the Company and able to supply services on demand. This has significantly reduced costs while improving dispatch performance, work quality and customer satisfaction. Sustained cost control remains critical to attracting and retaining management customers which is reflected by the increased revenues and minimal maintenance margins. Aircraft maintenance revenue for the quarter ended August 31, 2021 was $14,574, a decrease of $236,070 (a decrease of 94.19%) from the same period in fiscal 2020. The decrease in maintenance revenue was related to the decreased number of aircraft managed and the lower levels of scheduled maintenance.

Aircraft maintenance cost for the quarter ended August 31, 2021 was $13,692, a decrease of $230,648 (a decrease of 94.40%) from the same period in fiscal 2020. The decrease was directly related to the decreased number of aircraft managed and the low levels of scheduled maintenance as noted above.

The maintenance activities made a $882 contribution to the operating margin in the quarter ended August 31, 2021 as compared to $6,304 for the same period in fiscal 2020.

Aircraft maintenance revenue for the nine months ended August 31, 2021 was $208,101, a decrease of $1,280,811 (a decrease of 86.02%) from the same period in fiscal 2020. The decrease in maintenance revenue was related to the decreased number of aircraft managed and the lower levels of scheduled maintenance in the first nine months of fiscal 2021.

Aircraft maintenance cost for the nine months ended August 31, 2021 was $200,991, a decrease of $1,243,205 (a decrease of 86.08%) from the same period in fiscal 2020. The decrease was directly related the decreased number of aircraft managed and the lower levels of scheduled maintenance as noted above.

Fiscal 2020 3rd Quarter   343,644  
       
Fiscal 2021 1st Nine months   1,398,059  
Fiscal 2020 1st Nine months   908,623  

The expense from general operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $470,380, an increase of $126,736 (an increase of 36.88%) from the same period in fiscal 2020. This increase in expense from general operations was related to the increased amortization expenses, sales expenses, auditing fee, consulting fees and director fees in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

The expense from general operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was $1,398,059, an increase of $489,436 (an increase of 53.87%) from the same period in fiscal 2020. This increase in expense from general operations was related to the increased amortization expenses, sales expenses, auditing fee, consulting fees and director fees in the first nine months of fiscal 2021.

Overall Performance

The first nine months of fiscal 2021 incurred a net loss after income taxes of (885,067) compared to a net loss after income taxes of ($562,952) in the same period of fiscal 2020, which reflects the decreased profitability due to the factors discussed above, including the decreased management aircraft activities, the decreased maintenance activities and the increased expenses from general operations, which was partially offset by the increase in flight hours attributable to our charter sales efforts.

Through these arrangements, the Company is able to leverage the Related Companies' existing commercial arrangements to obtain labour, fuel and insurance at a discount to prevailing market prices. In particular, FSS provides operational services and fuel supplies. The Related Companies have supplied overload staff and administrative services to the Company from time to time as required on a scalable basis to permit the Company to limit fixed staff commitments. In each case, the Services provided are services that are required for the Company to operate its business. The purpose of obtaining the Services from the Related Companies is that the Company is able to obtain these services on terms superior to those that would otherwise be available to the Company if the Services were contracted from a third party.

During fiscal 2019, the Company maintained an arrangement with MX Aerospace Inc., an aircraft maintenance service provider 100% owned and controlled by Ian McDougall as reported in prior Management Discussion and Analysis Reports. Such services are now provided by a third-party maintenance provider and are no longer the subject of a Related Party transaction.

The remuneration of the key management personnel during the periods were as follows:

    Three months ended     Nine months ended  
    Aug 31, 2021     Aug 31, 2020     Aug 31, 2021     Aug 31, 2020  
                         
Short-term benefits $ 62,500   $ 59,500   $ 187,500   $ 182,250  
Total remuneration $ 62,500   $ 59,500   $ 187,500   $ 182,250

These transactions were in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties. The costs of these transactions are market competitive. Through these transactions, the Company has generated cost-savings over a wide range of items as a result and the benefits of these reductions have been passed to the Company's customers.

The related party transactions are reviewed by the Audit Committee which is made up exclusively of independent directors. Material includes competitive standards and quotes and identifiable gain for the Company in terms of costs and revenues.

9. Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.

Reported amounts which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions include allowance for doubtful accounts, property, plant and equipment, deferred taxes. These items are discussed below.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The Company reviews the age of accounts receivables, the credit history of the customers, and the financial strength of the customers to evaluate the collectability of the accounts receivables and provide for an allowance for doubtful accounts, if necessary, based on management's best estimates.

Share based payments

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 6.

Property, plant and equipment

Certain costs incurred are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The carrying value of the assets depends on the estimated useful life, which is the period over which the assets are written off. If the estimated useful lives of these assets were materially incorrect, the Company would experience increased or decreased changes to amortization charges in the future, which in turn would result in material changes to the net income.

Deferred taxes

Deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable income against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. The Company reviews the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period which is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

There have been no material changes in critical accounting estimates during the first nine months of fiscal 2021.

10. Financial Instruments and Risk Management Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company has classified cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as financial assets, and measured at fair value through profit or loss. Trade and other receivables are classified as financial assets, and measured at amortized cost. Trade payables and accrued liabilities are classified as financial liabilities, and measured at amortized cost.

The carrying values and fair values of financial assets and liabilities as at August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020 are summarized as follows:

Fair Values

The carrying values of the Company's financial instruments comprising of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, and trade payables and accrued liabilities approximate the fair value due to their short-term maturity.

Risk Management

The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. The Company's financial instruments comprise of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, and trade payables and accrued liabilities. Disclosures relating to exposure to risks, in particular credit risk, foreign currency risk, concentration risk, market risk and liquidity risk are provided below.

a) Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, comprise primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk of these items is the carrying amount as reported on the financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at a major Canadian financial institution. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal risk. Credit risk on trade and other receivables is minimized as a result of the constant review and evaluation of the account balances. The Company also maintains an allowance for credit losses at an estimated amount, allocating sufficient protection against losses resulting from collecting less than full payments from its receivables. There is no indication, as at this dates, that the debtors will not meet their obligations, except as has been provided for as bad debts during the reporting periods. The Company manages its credit risk relating to its trade receivables through credit approval and monitoring procedures, including senior management prior approval of all sales. Such approvals are based on trade information, payment history, credit rating and financial analysis, where possible.

b) Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk as certain of its operating activities are transacted in US dollars, resulting in the holding of related financial instruments in US dollars. At the statement date, the Company had financial instruments denominated in US currency as shown below. Management has not deemed it necessary to use derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk.

b) Foreign Currency Risk (continued)

In US dollars   August 31     November 30  
    2021     2020  
             
Cash $ 668   $ 31,764  
Trade and other receivables   2,400     -  
Trade payable and accrued liabilities   (68,198 )   (317,521 )
             
Net US dollar (liabilities)   ($65,130 )   ($285,757 )

The amounts were translated at the US dollar / Canadian dollar exchange rate of 1.2617 as at August 31, 2021 (1.2965 as at November 30, 2020).

c) Concentration Risk

The Company is exposed to customer concentration risk as the Company's ability to continue its operations depends heavily on the retention of the existing contracts with independent corporations for the care, custody and control of their aircraft. The Company mitigates these risks and uncertainties by focusing its sales energies on securing additional customer contracts and exploring for new related revenue streams.

d) Market Risk

The Company's investments are exposed to market risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investments. The Company manages market risk through diversification and investing only in blue-chip equities with a history of stable return listed on various public stock exchanges. Senior management reviews the equity portfolio on a regular basis.

e) Liquidity Risk

The Company is exposed to liquidity risk to the extent that it is required to meet its financial obligations as these become due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient cash and other current financial assets to meet its obligations when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or damage to the Company's reputation. Management forecasts cash flows to identify financing requirements. These requirements are then addressed through a combination of cash management and access to additional capital.

f) Sensitivity Analysis

Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that a 10% movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates that may reasonably be expected to occur over the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on the Company.

12


11. Reclassifications

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Net income and shareholders' equity were not affected by these reclassifications.

12. Subsequent Events

Partner Jet and Volatus Aerospace Corp. executed a definitive amalgamation agreement dated June 30, 2021 (the "Definitive Agreement") which outlines the terms and conditions pursuant to which Volatus and Partner Jet will complete the Reverse Take-Over. As detailed in a Press Release dated 30 June 2021, Under the terms of the Definitive Agreement, it is proposed that Partner Jet and Volatus will amalgamate pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) to form a new corporation called Volatus Aerospace Corp. which will carry on the business of Volatus as its primary business while continuing to carry on the current business of Partner Jet as well.

Partner Jet shareholders will receive an Information Circular providing comprehensive details about the Reverse Take-over and the business of Volatus prior to a Partner Jet shareholder meeting that will be scheduled to consider the approval of the amalgamation. The draft Information Circular was submitted to the TSX-V Exchange on July 30, 2021 for their review and approval. TSX-V approval is pending as of the date of this Management's Discussion and Analysis document.

The Canadian economy continues to be affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and significant uncertainties remain. Air travel both with commercial scheduled and private aviation service continues to be severely impacted. This uncertainty in the economy has and will continue to pose a major challenge to the ongoing operations of all travel related companies. The Company cannot fully anticipate all the impacts of COVID-19 on its operations and results, or precisely when the situation will improve. The Company has implemented a series of operational, commercial and financial measures, including cost reduction, aimed at preserving its cash. The volatile effect of this COVID19 pandemic on the economy and the Company is not currently determinable but will pose a major business risk on a go forward basis.

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise noted.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders of

Volatus Aerospace

Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Volatus Aerospace Corporation (the Company), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards (Canadian GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other Matter

The company previously released separate consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The audit report for the year ended December 31, 2020 was dated March 2, 2021, and the audit report for the year ended December 31, 2019 was dated June 30, 2021.

The company has now combined both of these fiscal years into one set of financial statements. Our audit report on these combined set of financial statements comprising of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is reported herein.

There are no changes to any of the consolidated financial information presented herein to the previously released separate consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 as initially reported in our audit reports dated March 2, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.


Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian GAAS, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

1. Nature of Operations & Going Concern

Volatus Aerospace Corporation (the "Company") is a Canadian Controlled Private Company domiciled in Canada. Its registered office is in 6500 TransCanada Hwy, Suite 400, Pointe-Claire QC H9R 0A5, Canada. Volatus Aerospace Corporation, and entities it controls are together referred to in these consolidated financial statements as the "Company" or "VAC" or "Volatus". Refer to Note 9 for the Company's major subsidiaries.

2. Statement of Compliance

The policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS effective or issued as of June 30, 2021.

3. Basis of Preparation

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments measured at fair value through profit and loss or amortized cost. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

For the Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

3. Basis of Preparation (Continued)

Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires Management to make judgments and estimates that affect:

  • the application of accounting policies;
  • the reported amounts of assets and liabilities;
  • disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities; and
  • the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.

Actual results may differ from estimates made in these consolidated financial statements.

Judgments are made in the selection and assessment of the Company's accounting policies. Estimates are used mainly in determining the measurement of recognized transactions and balances. Estimates are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Judgments and estimates are often interrelated. The Company's judgments and estimates are continually re-evaluated to ensure they remain appropriate. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in future periods affected.

Following are the accounting policies that are subject to judgments and estimates that the Company believes could have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in these consolidated financial statements.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements except as noted below and have been applied consistently throughout the Company.

a) Revenue recognition

The company earns its revenue from the sale or products, services, and training programs.

Revenue is recognized a follow:

Equipment Sales includes sale of drones, batteries, drone sets, and related accessories.  This revenue is recognized when the goods leave the port of shipment or warehouse as significant risks and rewards are transferred immediately, and company has no control over the goods. Revenue from equipment sales is measured at the fair value of the consideration received less an appropriate deduction for actual and expected returns, discounts, net of sales taxes.             

Sale of Services includes drone services provided by professional drone operators relating to inspection, imaging, and data processing to enterprises and other customers.  These services are provided across multiple sectors and industries across Canada.

Sale of Training includes drone pilot training programs in digital, virtual, and onsite formats to various levels of drone pilots as defined by Transport Canada.

For the Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

a) Revenue recognition (Continued)

Revenue is only recognized to the extent that evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is reasonably certain, the sales price is fixed or determinable and title and risk have passed to the customer and the cost of sales is readily determinable.

IFRS 15 applies a single model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. This standard applies to all contracts with customers, with only some exceptions, including certain contracts accounted for under other IFRSs. The standard requires revenue to be recognized in a manner that depicts the completion of services to a customer and at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring those services. This is achieved by applying the following five steps: i) identify the contract with a customer; ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; iii) determine the transaction price; iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

b) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term guaranteed investment certificates, which are carried at the lower of cost and fair value. Cash equivalents are highly liquid and mature within a 90-day period from the date of purchase.

c) Property, plant, and equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition and bringing the asset to the location and condition for its intended use. Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives using straight line method:

Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Category

Useful Life

Drones

4 years

Drone Accessories

4 years

Computer & Equipment

3 years

Furniture & Fixtures/
Leasehold Improvements

5 years

Cameras

4 years

Batteries

1 Year

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis. An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

c) Property, plant, and equipment (Continued)

Property, plant and equipment are grouped into cash generating units (CGU) and reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the CGU may not be recoverable.

d) Income taxes

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized using the liability method, with respect to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Any such reduction will be reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable income will be provided.

e) Foreign currency translation

In preparing the consolidated financial statements of each individual group entity, 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. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Management has determined that the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar.

f) Share-based payment arrangements

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions was determined using the Black-Scholes Model.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity (equity-settled employee benefits reserve).

At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve.

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.

g) Purchase

Purchase is recognized when all risks and rewards associated with the purchase are transferred to the Company, when goods are received and in control of the Company.

h) Impairment of assets

The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets with (infinite useful lives) are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there are any indicators of impairment. Indicators of impairment may include a significant decline in asset market value, material adverse changes in the external operating environment which affect the manner in which the asset is used or is expected to be used, obsolescence, physical damage of the asset, or expected permanent closing of the store related to a property lease. If any such indicators exist, then the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually or whenever there is an indicator that the asset may be impaired.             

Determining the Recoverable Amount

An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of its fair value less cost to sell (FVLCS) and its Value in Use (VIU). In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value. Cash flows are discounted using a discount rate that includes a risk premium specific to each line of business. The Company estimates cash flows before taxes based on the most recent actual results or budgets. Cash flows are then extrapolated over a period of up to five years, taking into account a terminal value calculated by discounting the final year in perpetuity. The growth rate applied to the terminal values is based on the Bank of Canada's target inflation rate or a growth rate specific to the individual item being tested based on Management's estimate.

h) Impairment of assets (continued)

Recording Impairments and Reversals of Impairments

Impairments and reversals of impairments are recognized in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Any impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated and then Impairments of goodwill cannot be reversed. Impairments of other assets recognized in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period to determine if the indicators of impairment have reversed or no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the estimated recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount. The increased carrying amount of an asset attributable to a reversal of impairment may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment been recognized in prior periods.             

i) Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value (note 6). Cost comprises of direct materials, direct labour, and appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventory during the normal course of business less estimated selling expenses.

Cash consideration received from vendors is recognized as a reduction to the cost of related inventory, unless the cash consideration received is either a reimbursement of incremental costs incurred by the Company or a payment for assets or services delivered to the vendor.

The cost of inventories includes costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.             

All inventories are finished goods and includes drones, accessories, and batteries.

j) Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Company's share of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment and is not amortized.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost and is calculated as the excess of the purchase price for an acquired business over the fair value of acquired net identifiable assets and liabilities and is allocated to the cash-generating units ("CGU") to which it relates. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment against the carrying amount of the CGU annually or more often if events or circumstances indicate that there may be an impairment. The carrying amount of a CGU includes the carrying amount of assets, liabilities and goodwill allocated to the CGU. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value, the impairment loss is first allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other nonfinancial assets of the CGU proportionately based on the carrying amount of each asset. Any impairment loss is charged to income in the period in which the impairment is identified. Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent reversals of goodwill impairment are prohibited.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

j) Intangible Assets (Continued)

Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently when there are indicators that impairment may have occurred, by comparing the carrying value to its recoverable amount. Management uses judgment in estimating the recoverable amounts of the Company's CGUs and uses internally developed models that consider various factors and assumptions including forecasted cash earnings, growth rates and discount rates. The use of different assumptions and estimates could influence the determination of the existence of impairment and the valuation of goodwill.

Indefinite Life Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are comprised of the acquired drone technologies and intellectual properties.             

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are measured at cost, less any accumulated impairment and are not amortized. Expenditures on research activities are expensed as incurred.             

k) Equity

The Company's equity comprises the proceeds received for its issued common shares less any costs of issuance, contributed surplus arising from the fair value of the stock options granted and its net and comprehensive profit/loss since incorporation.

Repurchased shares are removed from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in net income on the purchase, sale, issue, or cancellation of the Company's shares.

l) Financial instruments

Financial Assets:

Financial assets are categorized for subsequent measurement as follows:

Amortized cost

Financial assets that are held in a business model with the objective of collecting contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest ("SPPI") are measured at amortized cost ("AC"). The Company's trade and other receivables are measured at amortized cost. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income when the trade and other receivables are derecognized or impaired.

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

Financial assets that are held for trading and derivative assets are required to be measured at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). Financial assets that meet certain conditions may be designated at fair value through profit and loss upon initial recognition. Upon initial recognition, attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit and loss as incurred.

Assets in this category are subsequently measured at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit and loss. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based on changes in observable prices in active markets or by a valuation technique where no market exists.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

l) Financial instruments (continued)

Financial Assets (continued)

The company's cash and cash equivalents are designed as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss.

Fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets that are held to both collect contractual cash flows and for sale are required to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"). Other financial assets, provided they are not held for trading and have not been designated as at fair value through profit and loss, can be designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition.

Gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the available for sale reserve within equity, except for the accretion in value based on the effective interest method, impairment losses and foreign exchange differences on monetary assets, which are recognized in profit and loss. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income for which fair value cannot be estimated reliably, are measured at cost and any impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss. Upon initial recognition, attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit and loss as incurred. When the asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit and loss and presented as a reclassification adjustment within other comprehensive income.

Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the loss allowance for the financial asset is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured for the financial asset at an amount equal to twelve month expected credit losses. For trade receivables the Company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses, which allows the use of a lifetime expected loss provision. Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized.

Financial Liabilities:

Financial liabilities are categorized as follows for subsequent measurement:

Amortized cost

Financial liabilities that are not otherwise measured as at fair value through profit and loss or designated at fair value are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Any host contract in a hybrid instrument is also measured at amortized cost. Gains and losses are recognized in profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognized. Transaction costs incurred in connection with the issuance of loans and borrowings are capitalized and recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the related financial liabilities and amortized using the effective interest method.

l) Financial instruments (continued)

Financial Liabilities (continued)

The Company's financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include trade payables and accrued liabilities, Other short-term liabilities, long-term borrowing, CEBA loan, and contingent consideration.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss

Financial liabilities that are held for trading and stand-alone derivative liabilities are required to be measured at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). When certain conditions are satisfied, embedded derivatives are required to be separately recognized and measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in profit and loss. A designation can be made at initial recognition for financial liabilities that include one or more embedded derivatives, provided the host contract is not a financial asset, to measure the entire hybrid instrument at fair value. Where certain criteria are met, for example measurement at amortized cost would create measurement inconsistencies, the financial liability can also be designated at

fair value. For such designated financial liabilities, the amount of the change in fair value that relates to changes in the entity's own credit risk is recognized in other comprehensive income and the remaining amount of the change in fair value is recognized in profit and loss. All contingent consideration payable is also included in this category.

The Company has not designated any financial instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.

The fair values of financial liabilities are based on changes in observable prices in active markets or by a valuation technique where no market exists. Transaction costs attributable to the issuance of financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are recognized in profit and loss as incurred.

Classification:

All financial instruments measured at fair value and for which fair value is disclosed are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities:

(i) Level 1 Inputs - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

(ii) Level 2 Inputs - 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); and

(iii) Level 3 Inputs - techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

De-recognition:

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.

m) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received, and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

n) Provisions

Onerous Contracts: A provision for onerous contracts would be recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision would be measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company would recognize any impairment loss on the assets associated with the contract.

o) Accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.

Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are dependent upon estimates of useful lives, which are determined through the exercise of judgment. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

o) Accounting judgments and estimates (Continued)

Estimates are based on a number of factors, including historical experience, current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty. Key areas of estimation, where management has made subjective judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain, are the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of deferred income taxes, useful lives and amortization of depreciable assets, measurement of share-based compensation plan and provisions. Significant changes in assumptions could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses.

p) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a qualifying asset are capitalized. Qualifying assets are those that require a minimum of three months to prepare for their intended use. All other borrowing costs are recognized in cost of producing revenue or in net finance costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income in the period in which they are incurred.

q) Debt

Debt is classified as current when the Company expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle, it holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading, the liability is due to be settled within 12 months after the date of the Statement of Financial Position, or it does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the date of the Statement of Financial Position.             

r) Business Combinations

The Company applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations.

The Company measures goodwill as the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the recognized amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the net recognized amount (fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured as at the acquisition date.             

Consideration transferred includes the fair value of the assets transferred (including cash), liabilities incurred by the Company on behalf of the acquiree, the fair value of any contingent consideration and equity interests issued by the Company.             

Where a business combination is achieved in stages, previously held interests in the acquired entity are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date, which is the date control is obtained and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in net income.                           

The fair values of property and equipment recognized as a result of a business combination is based on either the cost approach or market approach, as applicable. The market value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties each act

r) Business Combinations (Continued)

knowledgeably and willingly. For the cost approach, the current replacement cost or reproduction cost for each major asset is calculated.                           

The fair values of inventories acquired in a business combination is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of sale and a reasonable profit margin based on the effort required to complete and sell the inventories. Transaction costs that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed immediately.             

The company has not disclosed the proforma revenue and profit or loss of combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the reporting period as required by IFRS 3.B64(q) because of differential accounting practices adopted by acquirees and inadequate daily accounting practises adopted in periods before acquisition.

s) Income per share

Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. To compute diluted income per share, adjustments are made to common shares outstanding, if applicable. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to include the number of additional common shares that would be outstanding if, at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, all options and warrants were exercised. The proceeds from exercise are assumed to be used to purchase the Company's common shares at their average market price during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period.

The common shares outstanding used for computation of income earnings per share reflect the share split described in Note 21. This presentation is consistent with the principles in IAS 33.64, which requires calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented to be adjusted retrospectively if changes occur to the capital structure after the reporting period but before the financial statements are authorized for issue.

t) Application of new International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")

The following standards have been adopted on January 1, 2020:

IFRS 16 Leases ("IFRS 16"): This standard replaces IAS 17 Leases ("IAS 17"). This standard introduces a single lease accounting model for lessees that will result in the recognition of a right-of-use asset, as well as a lease liability reflecting the present value of future lease payments. Depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset and interest expense on the lease liability will replace the operating lease expenses that were recognized under IAS 17. This new pronouncement is effective for the period on or after January 1, 2019.

The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020. Upon lease commencement, a right of use asset and lease liability is recognized. The right of use asset is initially measured at the amount of lease liability plus any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee. After lease commencement, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost less accumulated amortization. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. Subsequently, the lease liability is measured on an amortized cost basis using an effective interest method.

The adoption of this standard has not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

u) Investment in Associates

Associates are entities over which the Company has significant influence and that are neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint arrangement. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of an entity but is not control or joint control over those policies. Associates are accounted for using the equity method. The Company's share of its associates' post-acquisition profit or loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Company's interest in the associates; unrealized losses are also eliminated unless there is evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred.

7. Investment in Marketable Securities

Investment in marketable securities are investments held for sale and the Company does not have control or significant influence. The shares in the public company are classified as FVTPL and are recorded at fair value using the quoted market price as at December 31, 2020 and are therefore classified as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

During the year ended December 30, 2020, the Company recognized $494,851 in the fair value of its investment in the shares of a public company. (2019 - $Nil).

10. Subsidiaries

18. Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company has classified cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as financial assets and measured at fair value through profit or loss. Trade and other receivables are classified as financial assets and measured at amortized cost. Trade payables and accrued liabilities are classified as financial liabilities and measured at amortized cost.

Risk Management

The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. The Company's financial instruments comprise of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, and trade payables and accrued liabilities. Disclosures relating to exposure to risks, in particular credit risk, foreign currency risk, concentration risk, market risk and liquidity risk are provided below.

a) Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, comprise primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk of these items is the carrying amount as reported on the financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at a major Canadian financial institution. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal risk. Credit risk on trade and other receivables is minimized as a result of the constant review and evaluation of the account balances. The Company also maintains an allowance for credit losses at an estimated amount, allocating sufficient protection against losses resulting from collecting less than full payments from its receivables. There is no indication, as at this date, that the debtors will not meet their obligations, except as has been provided for as bad debts during the reporting periods.  The Company manages its credit risk relating to its trade receivables through credit approval and monitoring procedures, including senior management prior approval of all sales.  Such approvals are based on trade information, payment history, credit rating and financial analysis, where possible. 

b) Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk as certain operating activities aka purchase of goods are transacted in US dollars. Company however does not hold any currency in US dollars. Management has not deemed it necessary to use derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

18. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (Continued)

c) Concentration Risk

The Company is not exposed to customer concentration risk as the Company's revenue are widely distributed across multiple customers and revenue streams. The Company will keep mitigating these risks and uncertainties by focusing its sales energies on securing additional customer contracts across wider revenue streams and channels.

d) Market Risk

The Company's investments are exposed to market risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investments. The Company manages market risk through diversification and investing only in blue-chip equities with a history of stable return listed on various public stock exchanges. Senior management reviews the equity portfolio on a regular basis. 

e) Liquidity Risk

The Company is exposed to liquidity risk to the extent that it is required to meet its financial obligations as these become due.  The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient cash and other current financial assets to meet its obligations when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or damage to the Company's reputation.  Management forecasts cash flows to identify financing requirements.  These requirements are then addressed through a combination of cash management and access to additional capital. 

f) Sensitivity Analysis

Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that a 10% movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates that may reasonably be expected to occur over the next twelve-month period will not have a significant impact on the Company. 

19. Income Taxes

The Company has $156,597 (2019 - Nil) of non-capital losses available to offset future income for tax purposes. The non-capital losses will expire as follows:

2040 - $156,597

The deferred tax liability and asset calculated using a tax rate expected to be recovered or settled of 26.50% (2019 - 26.50%) is as follows:

  • the reported amounts of assets and liabilities;
  • disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities; and
  • the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.

Actual results may differ from estimates made in these consolidated financial statements.

Judgments are made in the selection and assessment of the Company's accounting policies. Estimates are used mainly in determining the measurement of recognized transactions and balances. Estimates are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Judgments and estimates are often interrelated. The Company's judgments and estimates are continually re-evaluated to ensure they remain appropriate. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in future periods affected.

Following are the accounting policies that are subject to judgments and estimates that the Company believes could have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in these consolidated financial statements.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements except as noted below and have been applied consistently throughout the Company.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

a) Revenue recognition

The company earns its revenue from the sale of products, services, and training programs.

Revenue is recognized as follows:

Equipment Sales includes sale of drones, batteries, drone sets, and related accessories.  This revenue is recognized when the goods leave the port of shipment or warehouse as significant risks and rewards are transferred immediately, and company has no control over the goods. Revenue from equipment sales is measured at the fair value of the consideration received less an appropriate deduction for actual and expected returns, discounts, net of sales taxes.             

Sale of Services includes drone services provided by professional drone operators relating to inspection, imaging, and data processing to enterprises and other customers.  These services are provided across multiple sectors and industries across Canada.

Sale of Training includes drone pilot training programs in digital, virtual, and onsite formats to various levels of drone pilots as defined by Transport Canada and platform or sector specific training programs.

Revenue is only recognized to the extent that evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is reasonably certain, the sales price is fixed or determinable and title and risk have passed to the customer and the cost of sales is readily determinable.

IFRS 15 applies a single model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. This standard applies to all contracts with customers, with only some exceptions, including certain contracts accounted for under other IFRSs. The standard requires revenue to be recognized in a manner that depicts the completion of services to a customer and at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring those services. This is achieved by applying the following five steps: i) identify the contract with a customer; ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; iii) determine the transaction price; iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

b) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term guaranteed investment certificates, which are carried at the lower of cost and fair value. Cash equivalents are highly liquid and mature within a 90-day period from the date of purchase.

c) Property, plant, and equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition and bringing the asset to the location and condition for its intended use. Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives using the straight-line method:

Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Category

Useful Life

Drones

4 years

Drone Accessories

4 years

Computer & Equipment

4 years

Furniture & Fixtures

5 years

Leasehold Improvements

10 years

Vehicles

5 years

Cameras

4 years

Batteries

1 year

Management has, effective January 1, 2021, revised the useful life estimate of computer and equipment from 3 years to 4 years and leasehold improvements from 5 years to 10 years. In 2020, the company did not have any leasehold improvements. This change in estimate will not have any effect on the prior period reported profits.

The estimated useful live, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis. An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

Property, plant and equipment are grouped into cash generating units (CGU) and reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the CGU may not be recoverable.

d) Income taxes

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

d) Income taxes (continued)

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized using the liability method, with respect to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Any such reduction will be reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable income will be provided.

e) Foreign currency translation

In preparing the consolidated financial statements of each individual group entity, 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. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Management has determined that the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar.

f) Share-based payment arrangements

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions was determined using the Black-Scholes Model.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity (equity-settled employee benefits reserve). At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve.

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

g) Purchase

Purchase is recognized when all risks and rewards associated with the purchase are transferred to the Company, when goods are received and in control of the Company.

h) Impairment of assets

The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, investments in associates, and intangible assets with (infinite useful lives) are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there are any indicators of impairment. Indicators of impairment may include a significant decline in asset market value, material adverse changes in the external operating environment which affect the manner in which the asset is used or is expected to be used, obsolescence, physical damage of the asset, or expected permanent closing of the store related to a property lease. If any such indicators exist, then the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually or whenever there is an indicator that the asset may be impaired.             

Determining the Recoverable Amount

An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of its fair value less cost to sell (FVLCS) and its Value in Use (VIU). In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value. Cash flows are discounted using a discount rate that includes a risk premium specific to each line of business. The Company estimates cash flows before taxes based on the most recent actual results or budgets. Cash flows are then extrapolated over a period of up to five years, taking into account a terminal value calculated by discounting the final year in perpetuity. The growth rate applied to the terminal values is based on the Bank of Canada's target inflation rate or a growth rate specific to the individual item being tested based on Management's estimate.             

Recording Impairments and Reversals of Impairments

Impairments and reversals of impairments are recognized in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Any impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated and then Impairments of goodwill cannot be reversed. Impairments of other assets recognized in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period to determine if the indicators of impairment have reversed or no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the estimated recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount. The increased carrying amount of an asset attributable to a reversal of impairment may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment been recognized in prior periods.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

i) Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises of direct materials, direct labour, and appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventory during the normal course of business less estimated selling expenses.

Cash consideration received from vendors is recognized as a reduction to the cost of related inventory, unless the cash consideration received is either a reimbursement of incremental costs incurred by the Company or a payment for assets or services delivered to the vendor.

The cost of inventories includes costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.             

All inventories are finished goods and includes drones, accessories, and batteries.

j) Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Company's share of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment and is not amortized.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost and is calculated as the excess of the purchase price for an acquired business over the fair value of acquired net identifiable assets and liabilities and is allocated to the cash-generating units ("CGU") to which it relates. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment against the carrying amount of the CGU annually or more often if events or circumstances indicate that there may be an impairment. The carrying amount of a CGU includes the carrying amount of assets, liabilities and goodwill allocated to the CGU. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value, the impairment loss is first allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other nonfinancial assets of the CGU proportionately based on the carrying amount of each asset. Any impairment loss is charged to income in the period in which the impairment is identified. Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent reversals of goodwill impairment are prohibited.

Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently when there are indicators that impairment may have occurred, by comparing the carrying value to its recoverable amount. Management uses judgment in estimating the recoverable amounts of the Company's CGUs and uses internally developed models that consider various factors and assumptions including forecasted cash earnings, growth rates and discount rates. The use of different assumptions and estimates could influence the determination of the existence of impairment and the valuation of goodwill.

j) Intangible Assets (continued)

Indefinite Life Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are comprised of the acquired drone technologies and intellectual properties.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are measured at cost, less any accumulated impairment and are not amortized. Expenditures on research activities are expensed as incurred.             

k) Equity

The Company's equity comprises the proceeds received for its issued common shares less any costs of issuance, contributed surplus arising from the fair value of the stock options granted and its net and comprehensive profit or loss since incorporation.

Repurchased shares are removed from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in net income on the purchase, sale, issue, or cancellation of the Company's shares.

l) Financial instruments

Financial Assets:

Financial assets are categorized for subsequent measurement as follows:

Amortized cost

Financial assets that are held in a business model with the objective of collecting contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest ("SPPI") are measured at amortized cost ("AC"). The Company's trade and other receivables are measured at amortized cost. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income when the trade and other receivables are derecognized or impaired.

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

Financial assets that are held for trading and derivative assets are required to be measured at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). Financial assets that meet certain conditions may be designated at fair value through profit and loss upon initial recognition. Upon initial recognition, attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit and loss as incurred.

Assets in this category are subsequently measured at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit and loss. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based on changes in observable prices in active markets or by a valuation technique where no market exists.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

l) Financial instruments (continued)

Financial Assets (continued)

The company's cash and cash equivalents are designed as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss.

Fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets that are held to both collect contractual cash flows and for sale are required to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"). Other financial assets, provided they are not held for trading and have not been designated as at fair value through profit and loss, can be designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition.

Gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the available for sale reserve within equity, except for the accretion in value based on the effective interest method, impairment losses and foreign exchange differences on monetary assets, which are recognized in profit and loss. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income for which fair value cannot be estimated reliably, are measured at cost and any impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss. Upon initial recognition, attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit and loss as incurred. When the asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit and loss and presented as a reclassification adjustment within other comprehensive income.

Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the loss allowance for the financial asset is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured for the financial asset at an amount equal to twelve month expected credit losses. For trade receivables the Company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses, which allows the use of a lifetime expected loss provision. Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized.

Financial Liabilities:

Financial liabilities are categorized as follows for subsequent measurement:

Amortized cost

Financial liabilities that are not otherwise measured as at fair value through profit and loss or designated at fair value are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Any host contract in a hybrid instrument is also measured at amortized cost. Gains and losses are recognized in profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognized. Transaction costs incurred in connection with the issuance of loans and borrowings are capitalized and recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the related financial liabilities and amortized using the effective interest method.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

l) Financial instruments (continued)

Financial Liabilities (continued)

The Company's financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include trade payables and accrued liabilities, Other short-term liabilities, long-term borrowing, CEBA loan, and contingent consideration.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss

Financial liabilities that are held for trading and stand-alone derivative liabilities are required to be measured at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). When certain conditions are satisfied, embedded derivatives are required to be separately recognized and measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in profit and loss. A designation can be made at initial recognition for financial liabilities that include one or more embedded derivatives, provided the host contract is not a financial asset, to measure the entire hybrid instrument at fair value. Where certain criteria are met, for example measurement at amortized cost would create measurement inconsistencies, the financial liability can also be designated at fair value.

For such designated financial liabilities, the amount of the change in fair value that relates to changes in the entity's own credit risk is recognized in other comprehensive income and the remaining amount of the change in fair value is recognized in profit and loss. All contingent consideration payable is also included in this category.

The Company has not designated any financial instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.

The fair values of financial liabilities are based on changes in observable prices in active markets or by a valuation technique where no market exists. Transaction costs attributable to the issuance of financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are recognized in profit and loss as incurred.

Classification:

All financial instruments measured at fair value and for which fair value is disclosed are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities:

(i) Level 1 Inputs - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

(ii) Level 2 Inputs - 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); and

(iii) Level 3 Inputs - techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

De-recognition:

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.

n) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.  When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received, and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Onerous Contracts: A provision for onerous contracts would be recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision would be measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company would recognize any impairment loss on the assets associated with the contract.

n) Accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.

Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are dependent upon estimates of useful lives, which are determined through the exercise of judgment. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

o) Accounting judgments and estimates (continued)

Estimates are based on a number of factors, including historical experience, current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty. Key areas of estimation, where management has made subjective judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain, are the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of deferred income taxes, useful lives and amortization of depreciable assets, measurement of share-based compensation plan and provisions. Significant changes in assumptions could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses.

p) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a qualifying asset are capitalized. Qualifying assets are those that require a minimum of three months to prepare for their intended use. All other borrowing costs are recognized in cost of producing revenue or in net finance costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income in the period in which they are incurred.

q) Debt

Debt is classified as current when the Company expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle, it holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading, the liability is due to be settled within 12 months after the date of the Statement of Financial Position, or it does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the date of the Statement of Financial Position.             

r) Business Combinations

The Company applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations.

The Company measures goodwill as the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the recognized amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the net recognized amount (fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured as at the acquisition date.             

Consideration transferred includes the fair value of the assets transferred (including cash), liabilities incurred by the Company on behalf of the acquiree, the fair value of any contingent consideration and equity interests issued by the Company.             

Where a business combination is achieved in stages, previously held interests in the acquired entity are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date, which is the date control is obtained and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in net income.                           

The fair values of property and equipment recognized as a result of a business combination is based on either the cost approach or market approach, as applicable. The market value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties each act knowledgeably and willingly. For the cost approach, the current replacement cost or reproduction cost for each major asset is calculated.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

r) Business combinations (continued)

The fair values of inventories acquired in a business combination is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of sale and a reasonable profit margin based on the effort required to complete and sell the inventories. Transaction costs that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed immediately.             

The company has not disclosed the proforma revenue and profit or loss of combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the reporting period as required by IFRS 3.B64(q) because of differential accounting practices adopted by acquirees and inadequate daily accounting practises adopted in periods before acquisition.

s) Loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. To compute diluted loss per share, adjustments are made to common shares outstanding, if applicable. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to include the number of additional common shares that would be outstanding if, at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, all options and warrants were exercised. The proceeds from exercise are assumed to be used to purchase the Company's common shares at their average market price during the period. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period

The common shares outstanding used for computation of loss per share reflect the share split described in Note 16. This presentation is consistent with the principles in IAS 33.64, which requires calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for all periods presented to be adjusted retrospectively if changes occur to the capital structure after the reporting period but before the financial statements are authorized for issue.

t) Compound financial instruments

Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise convertible debentures that can be converted to share capital at the option of the holder, and the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value.

The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition except on conversion or expiry.

u) Application of new International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")

The following standards have been adopted on January 1, 2020:

IFRS 16 Leases ("IFRS 16"): This standard replaces IAS 17 Leases ("IAS 17"). This standard introduces a single lease accounting model for lessees that will result in the recognition of a right-of-use asset, as well as a lease liability reflecting the present value of future lease payments. Depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset and interest expense on the lease liability will replace the operating lease expenses that were recognized under IAS 17. This new pronouncement is effective for the period on or after January 1, 2019.

The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020. Upon lease commencement, a right of use asset and lease liability is recognized. The right of use asset is initially measured at the amount of lease liability plus any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee. After lease commencement, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost less accumulated amortization. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. Subsequently, the lease liability is measured on an amortized cost basis using an effective interest method.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The lease payments associated with these leases are charged directly to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The adoption of this standard has not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

v) Investment in Associates

Associates are entities over which the Company has significant influence and that are neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint arrangement. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of an entity but is not control or joint control over those policies. Associates are accounted for using the equity method. The Company's share of its associates' post-acquisition profit or loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Company's interest in the associates; unrealized losses are also eliminated unless there is evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred.

17. Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company has classified cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as financial assets and measured at fair value through profit or loss. Trade and other receivables are classified as financial assets and measured at amortized cost. Trade payables and accrued liabilities are classified as financial liabilities and measured at amortized cost.

Risk Management

The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. The Company's financial instruments comprise of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, and trade payables and accrued liabilities. Disclosures relating to exposure to risks, in particular credit risk, foreign currency risk, concentration risk, market risk and liquidity risk are provided below.

a) Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, comprise primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk of these items is the carrying amount as reported on the financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at a major Canadian financial institution. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal risk. Credit risk on trade and other receivables is minimized as a result of the constant review and evaluation of the account balances. The Company also maintains an allowance for credit losses at an estimated amount, allocating sufficient protection against losses resulting from collecting less than full payments from its receivables. There is no indication, as at this date, that the debtors will not meet their obligations, except as has been provided for as bad debts during the reporting periods.  The Company manages its credit risk relating to its trade receivables through credit approval and monitoring procedures, including senior management prior approval of all sales.  Such approvals are based on trade information, payment history, credit rating and financial analysis, where possible. 

b) Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk as certain operating activities aka purchase of goods are transacted in US dollars. Company however does not hold any currency in US dollars. Management has not deemed it necessary to use derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk.

17. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (Continued)

c) Concentration Risk

The Company is not exposed to customer concentration risk as the Company's revenue are widely distributed across multiple customers and revenue streams. The Company will keep mitigating these risks and uncertainties by focusing its sales energies on securing additional customer contracts across wider revenue streams and channels.

d) Market Risk


Volatus Aerospace Corp.
 

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020

The Company's investments are exposed to market risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investments. The Company manages market risk through diversification and investing only in blue-chip equities with a history of stable return listed on various public stock exchanges. Senior management reviews the equity portfolio on a regular basis. 

e) Liquidity Risk

The Company is exposed to liquidity risk to the extent that it is required to meet its financial obligations as these become due.  The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient cash and other current financial assets to meet its obligations when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or damage to the Company's reputation.  Management forecasts cash flows to identify financing requirements.  These requirements are then addressed through a combination of cash management and access to additional capital. 

f) Sensitivity Analysis

Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that a 10% movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates that may reasonably be expected to occur over the next twelve-month period will not have a significant impact on the Company. 

18. Commitments

As part of the UAViation Aerial Solutions Limited's acquisition, the Company has recognized a contingent consideration of $10,000 that arises because of an earn-out commitment.

The Company had previously recognized short-term and long-term contingent consideration of $20,000 and $30,000, respectively, because of associate investment in Canadian UAV Solutions Inc. On March 31, 2021, the company acquired 100% of Canadian UAV Solutions and thus has no such contingent consideration remains outstanding.

As part of OmniView Tech Corp. acquisition, the company has committed to issuing additional 50 shares of Volatus Unmanned Services as an earn-out commitment upon meeting defined targets.

The Debentures, including accrued and unpaid interest owing, automatically convert into Units at the Liquidity Conversion Price upon a Liquidity Event (as hereinafter defined) or on Maturity at the Holders' Conversion Price. The Warrants shall be exercisable for a period of 24 months from the completion of the Liquidity Event.

For the purposes of the Debentures, a "Liquidity Event" means (i) the listing of the Common Shares on a recognized

exchange; (ii) the amalgamation, merger, arrangement, reverse takeover or any other corporate transaction involving the Company with or into another entity pursuant to which the common shares of the resulting issuer from such transaction are listed on a stock exchange; or (iii) a major equity financing concurrently with or which results in the Company or the resulting issuer, as applicable, obtaining new common equity capital for a minimum aggregate gross proceeds of C$5,000,000.

20. Convertible Debentures (Continued)

Each convertible debt is forced converted into equity at a 20% discount to the go-public valuation if the Company goes public within 12 months from the date of issuance of debt. After which, the discount is increased to 30%.

As a result of the variability in the number of shares issuable under the convertible debentures, the cash received under each of the convertible debentures has been allocated between the fair value of the loan conversion feature, which is considered an embedded derivative liability, and the value of the loan liability. The value ascribed to the loan conversion feature of $1,472,015 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as at the loan date, and the residual amount has been allocated to the loan liability. The fair value of embedded derivative component of the convertible debt was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with weighted average assumptions as follows: share price of $0.65, risk-free interest rate of 0.22%, expected life of 2 years, expected volatility of 100% and expected dividends of Nil.

The Company's mission is to be a leading, fully integrated unmanned technologies and services business and be at the forefront of melding unmanned applications with traditional aviation service offerings. In addition, one of our goals is to increase the sustainability and helps people do more for the planet. We're reducing the environmental impact of our operations and working to empower people everywhere to live more sustainably.

The Company has acquired a number of established UAV technology and services businesses to consolidate its position as a national player with operations from coast to coast. It has a physical presence in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Prince Edward Island. In addition, a network of over 110 Transport Canada qualified UAV pilots is available to the Company to support service delivery in every province and territory of Canada.

The Company's subsidiary, Volatus Flight Systems Inc., represents the technology arm of the Company.

UAVs are playing a significant role in the defense and commercial sectors progressively replacing traditional modes of inspection, surveillance, survey and transportation due to their inherent cost, safety and efficiency effectiveness. Numerous market studies have predicted significant growth in the use of UAV in all sectors the Company is targeting.

YEAR 2020 HIGHLIGHTS

2020 was the first year of operations of Volatus, and 97% of the revenue generated is attributable to equipment sales and remaining towards services and training. As the Company was in the initial phase of the business, the gross margins were 7%, significantly lower than industry margins. The focus of the Company was to quickly scale across Canada by making acquisitions and having a coast-to-coast presence.


Our growth strategy is to integrate regional entrepreneurial businesses and expertise and accelerate revenues through coordinated sales initiatives and an umbrella branding/marketing strategy. For 2021, we remain committed to making acquisitions, joint ventures and investments as these are essential elements of our overall corporate strategy and use of capital.

The Company has accelerated its effort to raise funding from investors. We are confident to raise sufficient capital that will fuel the growth of the Company In the coming years.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

    31-Dec-20     31-Dec-19  
             
Total Assets   6,033,534     214,980  
             
Total Long‐Term Liabilities   390,514      
             
Revenues   61,230      
             
Net and Comprehensive Profit (Loss)   435,641      
             
Net Profit (Loss) per Share $ 0.006        

As at December 31, 2021, Volatus held a total assets of $6,033,534, long-term liabilities of $390,514, generated a revenue of $51,230, and incurred net and comprehensive income of $435,641.

The increase in total assets over the last six months was mainly due to all the business acquisitions and asset purchase of Brican Flight Systems.

The increase in long-term liabilities is primarily driven by various shareholders loan and asset financing that were acquired as part of various acquisitions.

The following table provides selected financial information from the audited Consolidated Statements of Loss and Comprehensive Income. No comparative numbers are available as the Company had no operations in 2019. 


The above numbers exclude contribution from SkyGate Videography Inc., M3 Drone Training Zone Inc., M3 Drone Services inc. and UAViation Aerial Solutions Limited because the acquisition and change of control for these new subsidiaries was effective December 31, 2020, and same cannot be consolidated as per the IFRS standards. The Company's operations consist mainly of revenues generated from the sale of equipment, providing drone services and training. The results of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 totaled $61,230 in sales, $56,913 in costs of revenue, and a resulting margin of 7%.

General and administrative expenses totaled $63,527 for the year resulting in negative earnings before taxes, depreciation and amortization of $59,210, which reflects the start-up nature of the Company.

The profits attributable to owners of Volatus on per share basis for FY 2020 is $0.006. The total outstanding shares on Dec 31, 2020 were 76,923,334 after considering two stock splits of 1:100,000 effective March 9, 2021 and 1:3.846166667 effective May 19, 2021. On Jan 2, 2021, the Company granted 884,615 additional options (after splits) at an exercise price of $0.001 to be vested over three years. Same has impacted weighted average outstanding shares for the purpose of calculating diluted earning per share.

The Company's earnings are affected by seasonality in certain operating segments. Earnings in the second and third quarters are positively impacted by the seasonal mission, which is part of the services segment. This causes revenue to be at the lowest levels in the first and fourth quarters. The Company is expecting stronger revenue in second and third quarters.

The Company continues to build its pipeline of potential acquisitions to accelerate growth and scale with a focus on companies with a proven track record of high growth and profitability. 


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following is a summary of Volatus working capital as at December 31, 2020 and 2019

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company has classified cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as financial assets and measured at fair value through profit or loss. Trade and other receivables are classified as financial assets and measured at amortized cost. Trade payables and accrued liabilities are classified as financial liabilities and measured at amortized cost.

Risk Management

The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. The Company's financial instruments comprise of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, and trade payables and accrued liabilities. Disclosures relating to exposure to risks, in particular credit risk, foreign currency risk, concentration risk, market risk and liquidity risk are provided below.

a) Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, comprise primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk of these items is the carrying amount as reported on the financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at a major Canadian financial institution. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal risk. Credit risk on trade and other receivables is minimized as a result of the constant review and evaluation of the account balances. The Company also maintains an allowance for credit losses at an estimated amount, allocating sufficient protection against losses resulting from collecting less than full payments from its receivables. There is no indication, as at this date, that the debtors will not meet their obligations, except as has been provided for as bad debts during the reporting periods.  The Company manages its credit risk relating to its trade receivables through credit approval and monitoring procedures, including senior management prior approval of all sales.  Such approvals are based on trade information, payment history, credit rating and financial analysis, where possible.  


b) Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk as certain operating activities aka purchase of goods are transacted in US dollars. Company however does not hold any currency in US dollars. Management has not deemed it necessary to use derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk.

c) Concentration Risk

The Company is not exposed to customer concentration risk as the Company's revenue are widely distributed across multiple customers and revenue streams. The Company will keep mitigating these risks and uncertainties by focusing its sales energies on securing additional customer contracts across wider revenue streams and channels.

d) Market Risk

The Company's investments are exposed to market risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investments. The Company manages market risk through diversification and investing only in blue-chip equities with a history of stable return listed on various public stock exchanges. Senior management reviews the equity portfolio on a regular basis. 

e) Liquidity Risk

The Company is exposed to liquidity risk to the extent that it is required to meet its financial obligations as these become due.  The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient cash and other current financial assets to meet its obligations when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or damage to the Company's reputation.  Management forecasts cash flows to identify financing requirements.  These requirements are then addressed through a combination of cash management and access to additional capital. 

f) Sensitivity Analysis

Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that a 10% movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates that may reasonably be expected to occur over the next twelve-month period will not have a significant impact on the Company. 

OFF BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENT

The Company has no material undisclosed off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our results of operations, financial condition, revenues or expenses, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. 


ACCOUNTING MATTERS

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Management uses historical experience, general economic conditions and trends, as well as assumptions regarding probable future outcome as the basis for determining estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances available at the time estimates are made.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future period affected. There have been no changes in the significant judgements and estimates made by the management. The more significant estimates that have an impact on our financial condition and the results of our operations are disclosed in note 4 of our audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Accounting Changes

During the year ended December 31, 2020, there were no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies, nor any new accounting policies adopted.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all material information related to Volatus, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting ("ICOFR")

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision of the CEO and CFO, our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:

 


  • pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Volatus;
  • provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS and that our receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with authorization of management and our directors; and
  • provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the annual or interim financial statements.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and the Design of ICOFR:

Our management, including the CEO and CFO, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and ICFR will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the control system objectives will be met. The likelihood of achievement is affected by limitations inherent in all internal control systems. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments or decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented in numerous ways including collusion, overrides and deception. In addition to the inherent limitations, the design of a control system must reflect that there are resource constraints, and the expected benefit of controls must be considered relative to the expected costs. Due to inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within a company will be detected.

Net Profit (Loss) per Share $ (0.002 ) $ 0.008   $ 0.006

The increase in total assets over the last six months was mainly due to acquisition of OmniView Tech Corp. and Canadian UAV Solutions on March 31, 2021, and increase in cash, which is driven from the issuance of convertible debentures in Q2 2021.

The increase in total long-term liabilities over the last six months was mainly driven by lease liability of $1,201,337 that was attributable towards acquisition of OmniView Tech Corp. on March 31, 2021.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, Volatus generated revenue of $3,695,866 from its product sales, services, and training. The increase in revenue compared to previous year was directly attributable towards scale in sales and service activities and acquisition of OmniView tech Corp.

The increase in Net and Comprehensive loss during the six months ended June 30, 2021, is mainly attributable to increase in personnel cost, share based payments, and interest on convertible debt.

SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS

The following table sets forth unaudited selected financial information for each of the last two quarters:

    30-Jun-21     31-Mar-21  
             
Gross Revenue $ 3,396,003   $ 299,863  
             
Gross Margin (%)   28%     54%  
             
Net and Comprehensive Income (Loss) $ (842,571 ) $ 616,219  
             
Net Profit (Loss) per Share $ (0.011 ) $ 0.008  

During the second quarter ending June 30, 2021, Volatus generated a revenue of $3,396,003 compared to $299,863 in the first quarter ending March 31, 2021. The jump in the quarter-on-quarter revenue was attributable to increase in service revenue and product sales driven by OmniView Tech Corp., entity acquired on March 31, 2021.

The gross margin for Q2 2021 was at 28% compared to 54% in Q1 2021. This decline is because of scale in product sales and more diversified revenue. Gross Margins from service revenue and training revenue are higher compared to product sales.

The operating expenses for Q2 2021 was $960,668 compared to $283,898 in Q1 2021. The increased cost is because of increased personnel expenses, external partner cost, depreciation expense, and shared based payments. This increase is attributable because of addition of two new entities: OmniView Tech Corp and Canadian UAV Solutions, allocation of stock options to management, and new hires within the Volatus group.

Volatus incurred a net loss of ($842,571) for three-month ended June 30, 2021 and net profit for three-month ended March 31, 2021. The significant difference is attributable towards changes in income and expense as discussed above and recognition of unrealized gain of $742,277 on Partner Jet investments in three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and its reversal in the three-month period ended June 30, 2021.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the modest current business and financial size of the Company, is reasonable.

Volatus Aerospace Corp. 
Management's Discussion & Analysis
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021
 

The Company estimated the fair value as follows:

- Customer relationships based on an income approach, specifically multi-period excess earnings method, by identifying key customers, applying attribution rate of 20% per annum and discount rate of 17.20% per annum; and

- Website based on an income approach, specifically relief from royalty methodology, using a reasonable royalty rate of 0.5% and discount rate of 16.48% per annum.

The goodwill recognized on acquisition is attributable mainly to the expected future growth potential from the diversified operations and assembled workforce. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company did not incur any acquisition-related costs.

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

The Company conducted its annual goodwill impairment analysis as at December 31, 2020. The impairment analysis involved comparing the carrying amount of each CGU's assets and liabilities to their respective recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount was determined using the value in use approach measured by discounting the future expected cash flows of the CGUs.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial Assets and Liabilities  

The Company has classified cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as financial assets and measured at fair value through profit or loss. Trade and other receivables are classified as financial assets and measured at amortized cost. Trade payables and accrued liabilities are classified as financial liabilities and measured at amortized cost.

Risk Management

The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. The Company’s financial instruments comprise of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, and trade payables and accrued liabilities. Disclosures relating to exposure to risks, in particular credit risk, foreign currency risk, concentration risk, market risk and liquidity risk are provided below.

a) Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, comprise primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk of these items is the carrying amount as reported on the financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at a major Canadian financial institution. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal risk. Credit risk on trade and other receivables is minimized as a result of the constant review and evaluation of the account balances. The Company also maintains an allowance for credit losses at an estimated amount, allocating sufficient protection against losses resulting from collecting less than full payments from its receivables. There is no indication, as at this date, that the debtors will not meet their obligations, except as has been provided for as bad debts during the reporting periods.  The Company manages its credit risk relating to its trade receivables through credit approval and monitoring procedures, including senior management prior approval of all sales.  Such approvals are based on trade information, payment history, credit rating and financial analysis, where possible. 

b) Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk as certain operating activities aka purchase of goods are transacted in US dollars. Company however does not hold any currency in US dollars. Management has not deemed it necessary to use derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk.

c) Concentration Risk

The Company is not exposed to customer concentration risk as the Company’s revenue are widely distributed across multiple customers and revenue streams. The Company will keep mitigating these risks and uncertainties by focusing its sales energies on securing additional customer contracts across wider revenue streams and channels.


 
Volatus Aerospace Corp. 
Management's Discussion & Analysis
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021
 

d) Market Risk

The Company’s investments are exposed to market risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investments. The Company manages market risk through diversification and investing only in blue-chip equities with a history of stable return listed on various public stock exchanges. Senior management reviews the equity portfolio on a regular basis. 

e) Liquidity Risk

The Company is exposed to liquidity risk to the extent that it is required to meet its financial obligations as these become due.  The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient cash and other current financial assets to meet its obligations when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or damage to the Company’s reputation.  Management forecasts cash flows to identify financing requirements.  These requirements are then addressed through a combination of cash management and access to additional capital.  

f) Sensitivity Analysis

Based on management’s knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that a 10% movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates that may reasonably be expected to occur over the next twelve-month period will not have a significant impact on the Company.  

OFF BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has no material undisclosed off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our results of operations, financial condition, revenues or expenses, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

ACCOUNTING MATTERS

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Management uses historical experience, general economic conditions and trends, as well as assumptions regarding probable future outcome as the basis for determining estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances available at the time estimates are made.


 
Volatus Aerospace Corp. 
Management's Discussion & Analysis
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021
 

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future period affected. There have been no changes in the significant judgements and estimates made by the management. The more significant estimates that have an impact on our financial condition and the results of our operations are disclosed in note 4 of our reviewed Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended June 30, 2021.

Accounting Changes

During the period ended June 30, 2021, there were no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies, nor any new accounting policies adopted.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all material information related to Volatus, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting ("ICOFR")

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision of the CEO and CFO, our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:

  • pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Volatus;

  • provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS and that our receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with authorization of management and our directors; and

  • provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the annual or interim financial statements.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and the Design of ICOFR:


 
Volatus Aerospace Corp. 
Management's Discussion & Analysis
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021
 

Our management, including the CEO and CFO, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and ICFR will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the control system objectives will be met. The likelihood of achievement is affected by limitations inherent in all internal control systems. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments or decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented in numerous ways including collusion, overrides and deception. In addition to the inherent limitations, the design of a control system must reflect that there are resource constraints, and the expected benefit of controls must be considered relative to the expected costs. Due to inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within a company will be detected.

SCHEDULE "7" - PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

See attached.


PARTNER JET CORP.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS AT AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2021 AND THE YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2020

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at November 30, 2020, and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended November 30, 2020, and for nine months ended August 31, 2021, of Partner Jet Corp. ("Partner Jet") have been prepared to reflect the reverse takeover of Partner Jet by Volatus Aerospace Corp. ("Volatus").

The financial year-ends of Partner Jet, Volatus, and OmniView are non-coterminous. Given that the financial year-end of Partner Jet differs from Volatus and OmniView by less than 93 days, adjustments for the difference in year-ends are not required in these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations of Partner Jet are comprised of information derived from:

 the audited consolidated financial statements of Volatus as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020;

 the audited financial statements of Partner Jet as at and for the year ended November 30, 2020;

 the audited financial statements of OmniView Tech as at and for the period ended Aug 31, 2020

 the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Volatus as at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021;

 the unaudited condensed interim financial statements of OmniView Tech as at and for the seven months ended March 31, 2021; and

 the unaudited condensed interim financial statements of Partner Jet as at and for the nine months ended August 31, 2021.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been compiled using accounting policies consistent with those adopted by Partner Jet, OmniView and Volatus in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), but do not include all of the disclosures required by IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements listed above. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are consistent with those described in the audited consolidated financial statements of Volatus for the year ended December 31, 2020, and for the period from inception November 8, 2019, to December 31, 2019.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the Transaction (as defined below) been affected on the dates indicated, nor are the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements indicative of the results of operation of future periods. Actual amounts recorded upon consummation of the Transaction will differ from such unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. Since the pro forma consolidated financial statements have been developed to retroactively show the effect of the Proposed Transaction, which are expected to occur at a later date (even though this was accomplished by following generally accepted practice and using reasonable assumptions), there are limitations inherent in the very nature of such pro forma data.

The pro forma adjustments to historical results of Partner Jet, Volatus, and OmniView are made to give effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on August 31, 2021.

2. PRO FORMA TRANSACTION AND ASSUMPTIONS

On June 30, 2021, Partner Jet and Volatus entered into definitive transaction agreement (the 'Definitive Agreement") pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Partner Jet (the "Transaction"), which will be structured as a reverse takeover. The comparative figures that will be presented in the consolidated financial statements after the RTO will be those of Volatus.

The acquisition of Volatus was treated as a business combination as Partner Jet constitute a business at the time of acquisition. The acquisition method of accounting has been used and it has been accounted for as per acquisition accounting as per IFRS 3. In accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combination, the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in excess of the fair value of the common shares was recognized immediately in profit as a gain from a bargain purchase. The fair value of Partner Jet shares issued used below was determined by reference to the agreed upon price per share of $0.22.

The acquisition was recorded as follows:      
       
Fair value of consideration      
Common shares issued and outstanding   9,078,774  
Price per share $ 0.22  
  $ 1,997,330  
Less: Investment held by Volatus $ (907,227 )
  $ 1,090,102  
       
Net assets acquired $ 1,134,955  
       
Bargain purchase (gain) $ (44,853 )

The above amounts are estimates which have been made by management for the acquisition based on information available and may be subject to amendment as estimates are finalized and to account for final balances at the time of closing.

After giving effect to the Financing (as defined below), Volatus being the acquirer for accounting purposes as the Volatus shareholders will hold an aggregate of 100,157,882 shares representing approximately 98.40% of the outstanding shares of the combined entity on a non-diluted basis and the management and Board of Directors of the Resulting Issuer will consist of the executive management group and the Board of Directors nominated by Volatus. Existing shareholders of Partner Jet will hold an aggregate of 1,677,082 share representing approximately 1.60% of the outstanding shares of the combined entity on a non-diluted basis. As a result of the share ownership, the change in management and the composition of the Board of Directors, the acquisition is accounted for as a reverse acquisition of Partner Jet by Volatus, whereby Volatus is considered to be the acquiror for accounting purposes. As such, Volatus will be the continuing entity for accounting purposes.

The assets and liabilities of Partner Jet are included in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position and are presented at their fair value, which is deemed to be equal to their carrying value; the pre-acquisition equity of Partner Jet will be eliminated upon consolidation.

The completion of the Transaction contemplated by the definitive agreement is subject to certain conditions, including but not limited to (a) obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals, including Exchange approval of the Transaction; and (b) the approval by the Partner Jet Shareholders of the Transaction. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will close or close as described.

Volatus acquired OmniView Tech on March 31, 2021. Assets and liabilities of OmniView Tech are already part of consolidated financial statements of Volatus. For period prior to acquisition, income statement of OmniView Tech


has been added to pro forma income statement to represent consolidated pro forma Income statement post giving effect to the RTO.

These unaudited pro forma consolidated statements includes the following pro forma adjustments:

a) On June 30, 2021, the Company completed private placement of subscription receipt financing and raised $9,133,756 by issuing 14,051,932 subscription receipts at a price of $0.65 per subscription receipt.

b) Volatus' convertible debentures will be converted into equity upon the occurrence of liquidation event. This Transaction qualifies as a liquidation event. The conversion price will be $0.52 per common share and 2,668,608 shares issued pursuant to the conversion of convertible debenture. This conversion has been reflected in a reduction to convertible debenture of $2,503,249 and an increase to share capital of $2,503,249.

c) Investment by Volatus in Partner Jet of $412,376 has been eliminated along with an unrealized gain of $494,851 from retained earnings that was recognized in 2020.

d) In connection with the private placement, each unit consists of one common share and one-half warrant. Total fair value allocated to warrants is $3,772,133, which includes the following:

7,025,966 warrants will be issued and included in these units have been allocated a fair value of $3,302,204. The fair value has been estimated at the date of issue using the Black-Scholes warrant pricing model with the following assumptions: (I) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 100%; (iii) risk-free interest rate of 1.30%; (iv) expected life of 5 years; (v) exercise price of $0.75; forfeiture rate of nil.

979,019 of Broker Warrants will be issued and included in these units have been allocated a fair value of $469,929. The fair value has been estimated at the date of issue using the Black-Scholes warrant pricing model with the following assumptions: (I) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 100%; (iii) risk-free interest rate of 1.30%; (iv) expected life of 5 years; (v) exercise price of $0.65; forfeiture rate of nil. Volatility was estimated based on historical of comparable companies. The fair value of Broker Warrants has been deducted from share capital and allocated to reserve for options.

e) In connection with the private placement, Volatus has agreed to pay a finder's fee of 7% of the gross proceeds in cash of the offering to Echelon and a 7% finders' fee in warrants to eligible brokers. Total of $1,230,960 will be paid to the agent for commission, legal fees, and expenses upon completion of the Proposed Transaction.

Legal and Professional Expenses $ 594,597  
Finders Fees $ 636,363  
Total acquisition cost $ 1,230,960  

f) The Acquisition constitutes a reverse asset acquisition as Partner Jet does meet the definition of a business, as defined in IFRS 3, Business Combinations. Accordingly, as a result of the transaction, the pro forma financial position has been adjusted for the elimination of Partner Jet's share capital of $1,102,694, contributed surplus of $164,314 and accumulated deficit of $132,053.

As a result of this reverse asset acquisition, a gain from bargain purchase of $44,853 has been recorded to reflect the difference between cost of acquisition less the net fair value of the assets acquired.

The fair value of Volatus ($0.65 per share) has been determined using the concurrent financing valuation - subscription receipt financing of $9,133,756. Partner Jet shares issued used above was determined by


 

reference to the agreed upon price per share of $0.22 and as recommended by independent consultant in their fair price value report.

g) On July 31, 2021, the Company has completed the acquisition of ConnexiCore LLC, Pennsylvania based on- demand nationwide commercial drone services and solutions provider that specializes in aerial data collection, image and video analysis, aerial mapping, and 3D photogrammetry for industrial clients for an equity value of US$175,000, assuming all debt of ConnexiCore, and issuing 10% equity of Volatus Aerospace USA Corp. (formerly known as TradeCo One LLC). Volatus Aerospace USA Corp. Volatus paid cash of US$ 459,229 to acquire 100% outstanding shares of ConnexiCore (US$175,000) and retire long-term debt (US$284,229). Intangible assets of $646,423 have been generated from the acquisition which includes value of customer relationships and brand. Purchase Price allocation has been shown below (in C$).

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders of
OmniView Tech Corp.

Qualified Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of OmniView Tech Corp. (the Company), which comprise the statements of financial position as at August 31, 2020, and the statements of income and comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at August 31, 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Basis for Qualified Opinion

We were not appointed as auditors of the company until after August 31, 2020, and thus did not observe the counting of the physical inventories at the beginning and the end of the year, however we did perform alternate audit procedures related to the inventory. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards (Canadian GAAS), except for attendance at the inventory count. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.


Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian GAAS, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Howard Wolle.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the year ended August 31, 2020 and 2019

1. Nature of Operations & Going Concern

OmniView Tech Corp. (the "Company") is a Canadian Controlled Private Company domiciled in Canada. Its registered office is 2045 Dundas Street, Mississauga, Ontario, L4X 1M2, Canada. The Company operates under one business segment.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

2. Statement of Compliance

These financial statements of the Company, approved by the Board of Directors on October 20, 2021, have been prepared consistently in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and their interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The policies applied in these financial statements are based on IFRS effective or issued as of January 1, 2021.

3. Basis of Preparation

These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments measured at fair value through profit and loss or amortized cost. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Functional and Presentation Currency

These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars ("C$"), the Company's functional and presentation currency.

Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires Management to make judgments and estimates that affect:

  • the application of accounting policies;
  • the reported amounts of assets and liabilities;
  • disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities; and
  • the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.

Actual results may differ from estimates made in these financial statements.

Judgments are made in the selection and assessment of the Company's accounting policies. Estimates are used mainly in determining the measurement of recognized transactions and balances. Estimates are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Judgments and estimates are often interrelated. The Company's judgments and estimates are continually re-evaluated to ensure they remain appropriate. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in future periods affected.

Following are the accounting policies that are subject to judgments and estimates that the Company believes could have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in these financial statements.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements except as noted below and have been applied consistently throughout the Company.

a) Revenue recognition

The company earns its revenue from the sale of products, services, and training programs.

Revenue is recognized as follows:

Equipment Sales includes sale of drones, batteries, drone sets, and related accessories.  This revenue is recognized when the goods leave the port of shipment or warehouse as significant risks and rewards are transferred immediately, and company has no control over the goods. Revenue from equipment sales is measured at the fair value of the consideration received less an appropriate deduction for actual and expected returns, discounts, net of sales taxes.             

Sale of Services includes drone repair services provided by professional drone specialist at authorised repair centre.

Revenue is only recognized to the extent that evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is reasonably certain, the sales price is fixed or determinable and title and risk have passed to the customer and the cost of sales is readily determinable.

IFRS 15 applies a single model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. This standard applies to all contracts with customers, with only some exceptions, including certain contracts accounted for under other IFRSs. The standard requires revenue to be recognized in a manner that depicts the completion of services to a customer and at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring those services. This is achieved by applying the following five steps: i) identify the contract with a customer; ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; iii) determine the transaction price; iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

b) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term guaranteed investment certificates, which are carried at the lower of cost and fair value. Cash equivalents are highly liquid and mature within a 90-day period from the date of purchase.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

c) Property, plant, and equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition and bringing the asset to the location and condition for its intended use. Depreciation is generally calculated on a declining balance method to write off the cost of the assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation for leasehold improvements is fully expensed over the expected term of the lease. The depreciation rates applicable to each category of equipment are as follows:

Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Category

Useful Life

Computer & Equipment

55%

Leasehold Improvements

5 years

Office Equipment

20%

The estimated useful live, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis. An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

Property, plant and equipment are grouped into cash generating units (CGU) and reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the CGU may not be recoverable.

d) Income taxes

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statements of income and comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

d) Income taxes (continued)

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized using the liability method, with respect to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Any such reduction will be reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable income will be provided.

e) Foreign currency translation

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. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Management has determined that the functional currency of the Company is the Canadian Dollar.

f) Purchase

Purchase is recognized when all risks and rewards associated with the purchase are transferred to the Company, when goods are received and in control of the Company.

g) Impairment of assets

The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment, investment property, right-of-use assets and intangible assets with (finite and infinite useful lives) are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there are any indicators of impairment. Indicators of impairment may include a significant decline in asset market value, material adverse changes in the external operating environment which affect the manner in which the asset is used or is expected to be used, obsolescence, physical damage of the asset, or expected permanent closing of the store related to a property lease. If any such indicators exist, then the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually or whenever there is an indicator that the asset may be impaired.

4.  Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

g) Impairment of assets (continued)

Determining the Recoverable Amount

An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of its fair value less cost to sell (FVLCS) and its Value in Use (VIU). In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value. Cash flows are discounted using a discount rate that includes a risk premium specific to each line of business. The Company estimates cash flows before taxes based on the most recent actual results or budgets. Cash flows are then extrapolated over a period of up to five years, taking into account a terminal value calculated by discounting the final year in perpetuity. The growth rate applied to the terminal values is based on the Bank of Canada's target inflation rate or a growth rate specific to the individual item being tested based on Management's estimate.             

Recording Impairments and Reversals of Impairments

Impairments and reversals of impairments are recognized in other income in the Statements of Income. Any impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated and then Impairments of goodwill cannot be reversed. Impairments of other assets recognized in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period to determine if the indicators of impairment have reversed or no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the estimated recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount. The increased carrying amount of an asset attributable to a reversal of impairment may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment been recognized in prior periods.             

h) Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises of direct materials, direct labour, and appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventory during the normal course of business less estimated selling expenses.

Cash consideration received from vendors is recognized as a reduction to the cost of related inventory, unless the cash consideration received is either a reimbursement of incremental costs incurred by the Company or a payment for assets or services delivered to the vendor.

The cost of inventories includes costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

i) Financial instruments

Financial Assets:

Financial assets are categorized for subsequent measurement as follows:

Amortized cost

Financial assets that are held in a business model with the objective of collecting contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest ("SPPI") are measured at amortized cost ("AC"). The Company's trade and other receivables are measured at amortized cost. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income when the trade and other receivables are derecognized or impaired.

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

Financial assets that are held for trading and derivative assets are required to be measured at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). Financial assets that meet certain conditions may be designated at fair value through profit and loss upon initial recognition. Upon initial recognition, attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit and loss as incurred.

Assets in this category are subsequently measured at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit and loss. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based on changes in observable prices in active markets or by a valuation technique where no market exists.

Financial Assets

The company's cash and cash equivalents and investment property are designed as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss.

Fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets that are held to both collect contractual cash flows and for sale are required to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"). Other financial assets, provided they are not held for trading and have not been designated as at fair value through profit and loss, can be designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition.

Gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the available for sale reserve within equity, except for the accretion in value based on the effective interest method, impairment losses and foreign exchange differences on monetary assets, which are recognized in profit and loss. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income for which fair value cannot be estimated reliably, are measured at cost and any impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss. Upon initial recognition, attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit and loss as incurred. When the asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit and loss and presented as a reclassification adjustment within other comprehensive income.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

i) Financial instruments (continued)

Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the loss allowance for the financial asset is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured for the financial asset at an amount equal to twelve month expected credit losses. For trade receivables the Company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses, which allows the use of a lifetime expected loss provision. Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized.

Financial Liabilities:

Financial liabilities are categorized as follows for subsequent measurement:

Amortized cost

Financial liabilities that are not otherwise measured as at fair value through profit and loss or designated at fair value are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Any host contract in a hybrid instrument is also measured at amortized cost. Gains and losses are recognized in profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognized. Transaction costs incurred in connection with the issuance of loans and borrowings are capitalized and recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the related financial liabilities and amortized using the effective interest method.

The Company's financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include trade payables and accrued liabilities, Other short-term liabilities, long-term borrowing, CEBA loan, and contingent consideration.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss

Financial liabilities that are held for trading and stand-alone derivative liabilities are required to be measured at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). When certain conditions are satisfied, embedded derivatives are required to be separately recognized and measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in profit and loss. A designation can be made at initial recognition for financial liabilities that include one or more embedded derivatives, provided the host contract is not a financial asset, to measure the entire hybrid instrument at fair value. Where certain criteria are met, for example measurement at amortized cost would create measurement inconsistencies, the financial liability can also be designated at fair value.

For such designated financial liabilities, the amount of the change in fair value that relates to changes in the entity's own credit risk is recognized in other comprehensive income and the remaining amount of the change in fair value is recognized in profit and loss. All contingent consideration payable is also included in this category.

The Company has not designated any financial instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

i) Financial instruments (continued)

The fair values of financial liabilities are based on changes in observable prices in active markets or by a valuation technique where no market exists. Transaction costs attributable to the issuance of financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are recognized in profit and loss as incurred.

Classification:

All financial instruments measured at fair value and for which fair value is disclosed are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities:

(i) Level 1 Inputs - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

(ii) Level 2 Inputs - 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); and

(iii) Level 3 Inputs - techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

De-recognition:

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.

 

Measurement category under IFRS 9

Cash and cash equivalents, Investment property

Financial assets at FVTPL

Trade and other receivables

Financial assets at amortized cost

Trade payables and accrued liabilities, Other short-term liabilities, long-term borrowings, and CEBA loan

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

j) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received, and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Onerous Contracts: A provision for onerous contracts would be recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision would be measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company would recognize any impairment loss on the assets associated with the contract.

k) Accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.

Estimates are based on a number of factors, including historical experience, current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty. Key areas of estimation, where management has made subjective judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain, are the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of deferred income taxes, useful lives and amortization of depreciable assets, measurement of share-based compensation plan and provisions. Significant changes in assumptions could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses.

l) Debt

Debt is classified as current when the Company expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle, it holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading, the liability is due to be settled within 12 months after the date of the Statement of Financial Position, or it does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the date of the Statement of Financial Position.

m) Income per share

Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to include the number of additional common shares that would be outstanding if, at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, all options and warrants were exercised. The proceeds from exercise are assumed to be used to purchase the Company's common shares at their average market price during the period.

n) Application of new International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")

The following standards have been adopted on January 1, 2020:

IFRS 16 Leases ("IFRS 16"): This standard replaces IAS 17 Leases ("IAS 17"). This standard introduces a single lease accounting model for lessees that will result in the recognition of a right-of-use asset, as well as a lease liability reflecting the present value of future lease payments. Depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset and interest expense on the lease liability will replace the operating lease expenses that were recognized under IAS 17. This new pronouncement is effective for the period on or after January 1, 2019.

The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020. Upon lease commencement, a right of use asset and lease liability is recognized. The right of use asset is initially measured at the amount of lease liability plus any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee. After lease commencement, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost less accumulated amortization. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. Subsequently, the lease liability is measured on an amortized cost basis using an effective interest method.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The lease payments associated with these leases are charged directly to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The adoption of this standard has not had a material impact on the financial statements.

The Company has classified cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as financial assets and measured at fair value through profit or loss. Trade and other receivables are classified as financial assets and measured at amortized cost. Trade payables and accrued liabilities are classified as financial liabilities and measured at amortized cost.

Risk Management

The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. The Company's financial instruments comprise of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, and trade payables and accrued liabilities. Disclosures relating to exposure to risks, in particular credit risk, foreign currency risk, concentration risk, market risk and liquidity risk are provided below.

a) Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, comprise primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk of these items is the carrying amount as reported on the financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at a major Canadian financial institution. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal risk. Credit risk on trade and other receivables is minimized as a result of the constant review and evaluation of the account balances. The Company also maintains an allowance for credit losses at an estimated amount, allocating sufficient protection against losses resulting from collecting less than full payments from its receivables. There is no indication, as at this date, that the debtors will not meet their obligations, except as has been provided for as bad debts during the reporting periods.  The Company manages its credit risk relating to its trade receivables through credit approval and monitoring procedures, including senior management prior approval of all sales. Such approvals are based on trade information, payment history, credit rating and financial analysis, where possible. 

b) Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk as certain operating activities aka purchase of goods are transacted in US dollars. Management has not deemed it necessary to use derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk.

15. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (Continued)

c) Concentration Risk

The Company is not exposed to customer concentration risk as the Company's revenue are widely distributed across multiple customers and revenue streams. The Company will keep mitigating these risks and uncertainties by focusing its sales energies on securing additional customer contracts across wider revenue streams and channels.

d) Market Risk

The Company's investments are exposed to market risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investments. The Company manages market risk through diversification and investing only in blue-chip equities with a history of stable return listed on various public stock exchanges. Senior management reviews the equity portfolio on a regular basis. 

e) Liquidity Risk

The Company is exposed to liquidity risk to the extent that it is required to meet its financial obligations as these become due.  The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient cash and other current financial assets to meet its obligations when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or damage to the Company's reputation.  Management forecasts cash flows to identify financing requirements.  These requirements are then addressed through a combination of cash management and access to additional capital. 

f) Sensitivity Analysis

Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that a 10% movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates that may reasonably be expected to occur over the next twelve-month period will not have a significant impact on the Company. 

16. Income Taxes

The Company has Nil (2019 - Nil) of non-capital losses available to offset future income for tax purposes. The non-capital losses will expire as follows: NA

The deferred tax liability and asset calculated using a tax rate expected to be recovered or settled of 26.50% (2019 - 26.50%) is as follows:

    2020     2019  
             
Deferred tax Liability   (2,148 )   -  
             
Undeducted non-capital losses   -     -  
valuation allowance   2,148     -  
             
Net deferred tax liability   -     -  

The Company's effective tax rate which differs from the combined federal and provincial statutory rate of 26.50% (2019 - 26.50%), is reconciled as follows:

19. Subsequent Events

On March 31, 2021, Omniview Tech closed and completed the sale of the Company, pursuant to the terms of the Business Purchase Agreement (the "Business Purchase Agreement"), dated March 15, 2021. This Business Purchase Agreement contemplates a transaction in which Buyer will purchase all of the Company's stock.

In March 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. The situation is dynamic and the ultimate duration and magnitude of the impact on the economy, capital markets and the Company's financial position cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company is monitoring developments and will adapt its business plans accordingly. The actual and threatened spread of COVID-19 globally could adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out its plans and raise capital.

These financial statements are presented in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise noted.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders of

OmniView Tech Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of OmniView Tech Corp. (the Company), which comprise the statements of financial position as at March 31, 2021, and the statements of income and comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for the 7 months then ended March 31, 2021, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2021, its financial performance and its cash flows for the 7 months then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards (Canadian GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other Matter

A disclaimer of opinion was provided for the comparative numbers for the year ended August 31, 2020. We were not appointed as auditors of the Company until after August 31, 2020, and thus did not verify the existence of the physical inventories at August 31, 2020.

The financial statements of the Company for the 7 months period ended March 31, 2020 are unaudited.


Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian GAAS, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.

 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

 Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 


We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the 7 months ended March 31, 2021, and year ended 31 August 2020

1. Nature of Operations & Going Concern

OmniView Tech Corp. (the "Company") is a Canadian Controlled Private Company domiciled in Canada. Its registered office is 2045 Dundas Street, Mississauga, Ontario, L4X 1M2, Canada. The Company operates under one business segment.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

2. Statement of Compliance

These financial statements of the Company, approved by the Board of Directors on November 2, 2021, have been prepared consistently in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and their interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The policies applied in these financial statements are based on IFRS effective or issued as of September 1, 2020.

3. Basis of Preparation

These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments measured at fair value through profit and loss or amortized cost. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

These financial statements are prepared for 7 months period ended March 31, 2021, because the Company was acquired by Volatus Aerospace Corp. as of said date.

Functional and Presentation Currency

These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars ("C$"), the Company's functional and presentation currency.

Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires Management to make judgments and estimates that affect:

  • the application of accounting policies;
  • the reported amounts of assets and liabilities;
  • disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities; and
  • the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.

Actual results may differ from estimates made in these financial statements.

Judgments are made in the selection and assessment of the Company's accounting policies. Estimates are used mainly in determining the measurement of recognized transactions and balances. Estimates are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Judgments and estimates are often interrelated. The Company's judgments and estimates are continually re-evaluated to ensure they remain appropriate. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in future periods affected.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the 7 months ended March 31, 2021, and year ended 31 August 2020

Following are the accounting policies that are subject to judgments and estimates that the Company believes could have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in these financial statements.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements except as noted below and have been applied consistently throughout the Company.

a) Revenue recognition

The company earns its revenue from the sale of products, services, and training programs.

Revenue is recognized as follows:

Equipment Sales includes sale of drones, batteries, drone sets, and related accessories.  This revenue is recognized when the goods leave the port of shipment or warehouse as significant risks and rewards are transferred immediately, and company has no control over the goods. Revenue from equipment sales is measured at the fair value of the consideration received less an appropriate deduction for actual and expected returns, discounts, net of sales taxes.             

Sale of Services includes drone repair services provided by professional drone specialist at authorized repair centre.

Revenue is only recognized to the extent that evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is reasonably certain, the sales price is fixed or determinable and title and risk have passed to the customer and the cost of sales is readily determinable.

IFRS 15 applies a single model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. This standard applies to all contracts with customers, with only some exceptions, including certain contracts accounted for under other IFRSs. The standard requires revenue to be recognized in a manner that depicts the completion of services to a customer and at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring those services. This is achieved by applying the following five steps: i) identify the contract with a customer; ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; iii) determine the transaction price; iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

b) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term guaranteed investment certificates, which are carried at the lower of cost and fair value. Cash equivalents are highly liquid and mature within a 90-day period from the date of purchase.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

c) Property, plant, and equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition and bringing the asset to the location and condition for its intended use. Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives using the straight-line method:

Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Category

Useful Life

Computer & Equipment

4 years

Leasehold Improvements

10 years

Office Equipment

5 years

The estimated useful live, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis. An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

Property, plant and equipment are grouped into cash generating units (CGU) and reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the CGU may not be recoverable.

d) Income taxes

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statements of income and comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

d) Income taxes (continued)

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized using the liability method, with respect to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Any such reduction will be reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable income will be provided.

e) Foreign currency translation

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. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Management has determined that the functional currency of the Company is the Canadian

f) Purchase

Purchase is recognized when all risks and rewards associated with the purchase are transferred to the Company, when goods are received and in control of the Company.

g) Impairment of assets

The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment, investment property, right-of-use assets and intangible assets with (finite and infinite useful lives) are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there are any indicators of impairment. Indicators of impairment may include a significant decline in asset market value, material adverse changes in the external operating environment which affect the manner in which the asset is used or is expected to be used, obsolescence, physical damage of the asset, or expected permanent closing of the store related to a property lease. If any such indicators exist, then the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually or whenever there is an indicator that the asset may be impaired.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

g) Impairment of assets (continued)

Determining the Recoverable Amount

An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of its fair value less cost to sell (FVLCS) and its Value in Use (VIU). In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value. Cash flows are discounted using a discount rate that includes a risk premium specific to each line of business. The Company estimates cash flows before taxes based on the most recent actual results or budgets. Cash flows are then extrapolated over a period of up to five years, taking into account a terminal value calculated by discounting the final year in perpetuity. The growth rate applied to the terminal values is based on the Bank of Canada's target inflation rate or a growth rate specific to the individual item being tested based on Management's estimate.             

Recording Impairments and Reversals of Impairments

Impairments and reversals of impairments are recognized in other income in the Statements of Income. Any impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated and then Impairments of goodwill cannot be reversed. Impairments of other assets recognized in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period to determine if the indicators of impairment have reversed or no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the estimated recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount. The increased carrying amount of an asset attributable to a reversal of impairment may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment been recognized in prior periods.             

h) Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises of direct materials, direct labour, and appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventory during the normal course of business less estimated selling expenses.

Cash consideration received from vendors is recognized as a reduction to the cost of related inventory, unless the cash consideration received is either a reimbursement of incremental costs incurred by the Company or a payment for assets or services delivered to the vendor.

The cost of inventories includes costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

i) Financial instruments

Financial Assets:

Financial assets are categorized for subsequent measurement as follows:

Amortized cost

Financial assets that are held in a business model with the objective of collecting contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest ("SPPI") are measured at amortized cost ("AC"). The Company's trade and other receivables are measured at amortized cost. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income when the trade and other receivables are derecognized or impaired.

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

Financial assets that are held for trading and derivative assets are required to be measured at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). Financial assets that meet certain conditions may be designated at fair value through profit and loss upon initial recognition. Upon initial recognition, attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit and loss as incurred.

Assets in this category are subsequently measured at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit and loss. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based on changes in observable prices in active markets or by a valuation technique where no market exists.

Financial Assets

The company's cash and cash equivalents and investment property are designed as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss.

Fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets that are held to both collect contractual cash flows and for sale are required to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"). Other financial assets, provided they are not held for trading and have not been designated as at fair value through profit and loss, can be designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition.

Gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the available for sale reserve within equity, except for the accretion in value based on the effective interest method, impairment losses and foreign exchange differences on monetary assets, which are recognized in profit and loss. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income for which fair value cannot be estimated reliably, are measured at cost and any impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss. Upon initial recognition, attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit and loss as incurred. When the asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit and loss and presented as a reclassification adjustment within other comprehensive income.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

i) Financial instruments (continued)

Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the loss allowance for the financial asset is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured for the financial asset at an amount equal to twelve month expected credit losses. For trade receivables the Company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses, which allows the use of a lifetime expected loss provision. Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized.

Financial Liabilities:

Financial liabilities are categorized as follows for subsequent measurement:

Amortized cost

Financial liabilities that are not otherwise measured as at fair value through profit and loss or designated at fair value are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Any host contract in a hybrid instrument is also measured at amortized cost. Gains and losses are recognized in profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognized. Transaction costs incurred in connection with the issuance of loans and borrowings are capitalized and recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the related financial liabilities and amortized using the effective interest method.

The Company's financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include trade payables and accrued liabilities, Other short-term liabilities, long-term borrowing, and CEBA loan.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss

Financial liabilities that are held for trading and stand-alone derivative liabilities are required to be measured at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). When certain conditions are satisfied, embedded derivatives are required to be separately recognized and measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in profit and loss. A designation can be made at initial recognition for financial liabilities that include one or more embedded derivatives, provided the host contract is not a financial asset, to measure the entire hybrid instrument at fair value. Where certain criteria are met, for example measurement at amortized cost would create measurement inconsistencies, the financial liability can also be designated at fair value.

For such designated financial liabilities, the amount of the change in fair value that relates to changes in the entity's own credit risk is recognized in other comprehensive income and the remaining amount of the change in fair value is recognized in profit and loss. All contingent consideration payable is also included in this category.

The Company has not designated any financial instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.

The fair values of financial liabilities are based on changes in observable prices in active markets or by a valuation technique where no market exists. Transaction costs attributable to the issuance of financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are recognized in profit and loss as incurred.

Classification:

All financial instruments measured at fair value and for which fair value is disclosed are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities:

(i) Level 1 Inputs - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

(ii) Level 2 Inputs - 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); and

(iii) Level 3 Inputs - techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

De-recognition:

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.

 

Measurement category under IFRS 9

Cash and cash equivalents, Investment property

Financial assets at FVTPL

Trade and other receivables

Financial assets at amortized cost

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

j) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received, and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Onerous Contracts: A provision for onerous contracts would be recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision would be measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company would recognize any impairment loss on the assets associated with the contract.

k) Accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.

Estimates are based on a number of factors, including historical experience, current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty. Key areas of estimation, where management has made subjective judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain, are the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of deferred income taxes, useful lives and amortization of depreciable assets, measurement of share-based compensation plan and provisions. Significant changes in assumptions could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses.

l) Debt

Debt is classified as current when the Company expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle, it holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading, the liability is due to be settled within 12 months after the date of the Statement of Financial Position, or it does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the date of the Statement of Financial Position.

4. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

m) Income per share

Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to include the number of additional common shares that would be outstanding if, at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, all options and warrants were exercised. The proceeds from exercise are assumed to be used to purchase the Company's common shares at their average market price during the period.

n) Application of new International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")

The following standards have been adopted on January 1, 2020:

IFRS 16 Leases ("IFRS 16"): This standard replaces IAS 17 Leases ("IAS 17"). This standard introduces a single lease accounting model for lessees that will result in the recognition of a right-of-use asset, as well as a lease liability reflecting the present value of future lease payments. Depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset and interest expense on the lease liability will replace the operating lease expenses that were recognized under IAS 17. This new pronouncement is effective for the period on or after January 1, 2019.

The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020. Upon lease commencement, a right of use asset and lease liability is recognized. The right of use asset is initially measured at the amount of lease liability plus any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee. After lease commencement, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost less accumulated amortization. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. Subsequently, the lease liability is measured on an amortized cost basis using an effective interest method.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The lease payments associated with these leases are charged directly to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The adoption of this standard has not had a material impact on the financial statements.

15. Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company has classified cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as financial assets and measured at fair value through profit or loss. Trade and other receivables are classified as financial assets and measured at amortized cost. Trade payables and accrued liabilities are classified as financial liabilities and measured at amortized cost.

Risk Management

The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. The Company's financial instruments comprise of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, and trade payables and accrued liabilities. Disclosures relating to exposure to risks, in particular credit risk, foreign currency risk, concentration risk, market risk and liquidity risk are provided below.

a) Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, comprise primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk of these items is the carrying amount as reported on the financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at a major Canadian financial institution. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal risk. Credit risk on trade and other receivables is minimized as a result of the constant review and evaluation of the account balances. The Company also maintains an allowance for credit losses at an estimated amount, allocating sufficient protection against losses resulting from collecting less than full payments from its receivables. There is no indication, as at this date, that the debtors will not meet their obligations, except as has been provided for as bad debts during the reporting periods.  The Company manages its credit risk relating to its trade receivables through credit approval and monitoring procedures, including senior management prior approval of all sales.  Such approvals are based on trade information, payment history, credit rating and financial analysis, where possible. 

b) Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk as certain operating activities aka purchase of goods are transacted in US dollars. Company however does not hold any currency in US dollars. Management has not deemed it necessary to use derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk.

15. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (Continued)

c) Concentration Risk

The Company is not exposed to customer concentration risk as the Company's revenue are widely distributed across multiple customers and revenue streams. The Company will keep mitigating these risks and uncertainties by focusing its sales energies on securing additional customer contracts across wider revenue streams and channels.

d) Market Risk

The Company's investments are exposed to market risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the equities with a history of stable return listed on various public stock exchanges. Senior management reviews the equity portfolio on a regular basis. 

e) Liquidity Risk

The Company is exposed to liquidity risk to the extent that it is required to meet its financial obligations as these become due.  The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient cash and other current financial assets to meet its obligations when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or damage to the Company's reputation.  Management forecasts cash flows to identify financing requirements.  These requirements are then addressed through a combination of cash management and access to additional capital. 

f) Sensitivity Analysis

Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that a 10% movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates that may reasonably be expected to occur over the next twelve-month period will not have a significant impact on the Company. 

16. Income Taxes

The Company has Nil (seven months ended 2020 - Nil) of non-capital losses available to offset future income for tax purposes. The non-capital losses will expire as follows: NA

The deferred tax liability and asset calculated using a tax rate expected to be recovered or settled of 26.50% (seven months ended 2020 – 26.50%) is as follows:

    7-months 2021     7-months 2020  
Deferred tax Liability   (2,148 )   -  
             
Undeducted non-capital losses   -     -

On March 31, 20201, OmniView Tech closed and completed the sale of the Company, pursuant to the terms of the Business Purchase Agreement (the "Business Purchase Agreement"), dated March 15, 2021. This Business Purchase Agreement contemplates a transaction in which Buyer (Volatus Aerospace Corp.) will purchase all of the Company's stock.

In March 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. The situation is dynamic and the ultimate duration and magnitude of the impact on the economy, capital markets and the Company's financial position cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company is monitoring developments and will adapt its business plans accordingly. The actual and threatened spread of COVID-19 globally could adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out its plans and raise capital.

OmniView Tech Corp.
Management's Discussion & Analysis

For the Year ended August 31, 2020

The increase in total long-term liabilities for the year ended August 31, 2020 was mainly driven by lease liability of $218,670 and CEBA loan of $40,000.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, OmniView generated revenue of $5,622,630 from its product sales, and repair services. The increase in revenue compared to previous year was directly attributable towards scale in sales and service activities.

The increase in Net and Comprehensive Income for the year ended August 31, 2020, is mainly attributable to scale in business and increase in Gross margin from 13% in 2019 to 18% in 2020.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

The following table sets forth unaudited selected financial information for each of the years:

          (unaudited)  
    31-Aug-20     31-Aug-19  
             
Gross Revenue $ 5,622,630   $ 3,587,333  
             
Gross Margin (%)   18%     13%  
             
Net and Comprehensive Income (Loss) $ 391,916   $ 9,983  
             
Net Profit (Loss) per Share $ 1,959.580   $ 49.913  

During the year ending August 31, 2020, OmniView generated a revenue of $5,622,630 compared to $3,587,333 in previous year ending August 31, 2019. The jump in the revenue was attributable to scale in business and expansion of OmniView's online channel business across Canada.

The gross margin for year ending Aug 31, 2020 was at 18% compared to 13 % previous year ending Aug 31, 2019. This increase is because of diversified product portfolio leading to high margin products and contribution of repair segment. Gross Margins from repair revenue are higher compared to product sales.

The operating expenses for 2020 was $526,611 compared to $420,808 in 2019. The increased cost is because of increased personnel and depreciation expense. This increase is attributable because of expansion of the business, majorly sales and service team and establishment of office.

ACCOUNTING MATTERS

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Management uses historical experience, general economic conditions and trends, as well as assumptions regarding probable future outcome as the basis for determining estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances available at the time estimates are made.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future period affected. There have been no changes in the significant judgements and estimates made by the management. The more significant estimates that have an impact on our financial condition and the results of our operations are disclosed in note 4 of our audited Financial Statements for the period ended August 31, 2020.

Accounting Changes

During the year ended August 31, 2020, there were no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies, nor any new accounting policies adopted.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company has classified cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as financial assets and measured at fair value through profit or loss. Trade and other receivables are classified as financial assets and measured at amortized cost. Trade payables and accrued liabilities are classified as financial liabilities and measured at amortized cost.

Risk Management

The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. The Company's financial instruments comprise of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, and trade payables and accrued liabilities. Disclosures relating to exposure to risks, in particular credit risk, foreign currency risk, concentration risk, market risk and liquidity risk are provided below.

a) Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, comprise primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk of these items is the carrying amount as reported on the financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at a major Canadian financial institution. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal risk. Credit risk on trade and other receivables is minimized as a result of the constant review and evaluation of the account balances. The Company also maintains an allowance for credit losses at an estimated amount, allocating sufficient protection against losses resulting from collecting less than full payments from its receivables. There is no indication, as at this date, that the debtors will not meet their obligations, except as has been provided for as bad debts during the reporting periods.  The Company manages its credit risk relating to its trade receivables through credit approval and monitoring procedures, including senior management prior approval of all sales. Such approvals are based on trade information, payment history, credit rating and financial analysis, where possible.

Management's Discussion & Analysis

For the Year ended August 31, 2020

b) Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk as certain operating activities aka purchase of goods are transacted in US dollars. Management has not deemed it necessary to use derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk.

c) Concentration Risk

The Company is not exposed to customer concentration risk as the Company's revenue are widely distributed across multiple customers and revenue streams. The Company will keep mitigating these risks and uncertainties by focusing its sales energies on securing additional customer contracts across wider revenue streams and channels.

d) Market Risk

The Company's investments are exposed to market risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investments. The Company manages market risk through diversification and investing only in blue-chip equities with a history of stable return listed on various public stock exchanges. Senior management reviews the equity portfolio on a regular basis. 

e) Liquidity Risk

The Company is exposed to liquidity risk to the extent that it is required to meet its financial obligations as these become due.  The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient cash and other current financial assets to meet its obligations when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or damage to the Company's reputation.  Management forecasts cash flows to identify financing requirements.  These requirements are then addressed through a combination of cash management and access to additional capital. 

f) Sensitivity Analysis

Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that a 10% movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates that may reasonably be expected to occur over the next twelve-month period will not have a significant impact on the Company.
