On October 18, 2021, the Company settled a lawsuit with the other shareholders of Waterproof whereby the Company transferred its 49% interest in Waterproof to the other shareholders for $666,683 (CAD$825,000) resulting in the Company recording a loss on disposal of investment of $3,438,560 (Note 29).
