INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT OF REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of Intelligent Content Enterprises Inc.
(Formerly Eagleford Energy Corp.)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Intelligent Content Enterprises Inc. (formerly: Eagleford Energy Corp.) (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at August 31, 2016 and 2015, the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing 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 over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Intelligent Content Enterprises Inc. (formerly: Eagleford Energy Corp.) as at August 31, 2016 and 2015, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 b) in the consolidated financial statements which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of $13,531,587 during the year ended August 31, 2016 and, as of that date had an accumulated deficit of $29,587,246. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1 b), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1 b). The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the comparative information presented as at and for the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014 have been restated.

Intelligent Content Enterprises Inc., (formerly: Eagleford Energy Corp.) was amalgamated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on November 30, 2009 (“ICE” or the “Company”). The Company filed articles of amendment effective February 1, 2016, and changed its name from Eagleford Energy Corp., to Intelligent Content Enterprises Inc., and consolidated its common shares on the basis of one (1) new share for every ten (10) old shares. Through the Company’s wholly owned Ontario subsidiary DoubleTap Daily Inc., (formerly: Digital Widget Factory Inc.) the Company is developing an online management and advertising platform that powers user and advertising engagement programs in real-time to desktop, mobile and portable devices (http://doubletap.co ). Effective January 20, 2017, DoubleTap disposed of its investment in the Acquired Assets of Digital Widget Factory Inc., a Belize company (Note 3).The Company’s registered office is located at 1 King Street West, Suite 1505, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 1A1. The Company’s common shares trade on the OTCQB under the symbol ICEIF and on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol ISP. The Company’s common shares are widely held.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ICE, the legal parent, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ice Studio Productions Inc., incorporated in the Province of Ontario on June 16, 2016 (“ICE Studio”) and DoubleTap Daily Inc. incorporated in the Province of Ontario on February 29, 2016, (“DoubleTap”).
Effective February 29, 2016, the Company disposed of its investment in 1354166 Alberta Ltd., a company operating in the province of Alberta (“1354166 Alberta”). The Company’s former subsidiaries, Eagleford Energy, Zavala Inc., a Nevada company (“Zavala Inc.”), and its’ wholly owned subsidiary EEZ Operating Inc., a Texas company (“EEZ Operating”) were disposed of effective August 31, 2015 and Dyami Energy LLC., a Texas company (“Dyami Energy”) was dissolved effective April 3, 2014 (Note 16).
| b) | Going Concern |
These consolidated financial statements (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business, as they come due for the foreseeable future. The Company is in the process of developing its advertising platform and has not yet realized profitable operations. Previously the Company was an Exploration and Evaluation company with interests in Alberta, Canada and Texas, USA. The Company requires additional financing for its working capital and for the costs of development, content creation and marketing of its platform.
Due to continuing operating losses, the Company’s continuance as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing and to reach profitable levels of operation. The Company will continue to seek additional forms of debt or equity financing, or other means of funding its operations, however, there is no assurance that it will be successful in doing so or that funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The ability of the Company to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business performance of the Company.
The Company has accumulated significant losses and negative cash flows from operations in recent years which raise doubt as to the validity of the going concern assumption. As at August 31, 2016, the Company has working capital deficiency of $690,649 (2015: working capital deficiency $3,233,160) and an accumulated deficit of $29,587,246 (2015: $16,055,659). These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Consolidated Financial Statements do not give effect to adjustments, if any that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts that may differ from those shown in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

| 2. | Basis of Preparation |
Statement of Compliance
These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (“IFRIC”). The policies applied in these Consolidated Financial Statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of January 1, 2016. The Board of Directors approved the Consolidated Financial Statements on March 13, 2017.
Basis of Measurement
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value.
Functional and Presentation Currency
The functional and presentation currency of the parent ICE and its wholly owned subsidiaries ICE Studio and DoubleTap is Canadian dollars. The functional currency of the Company’s former wholly-owned subsidiaries, Zavala Inc., EEZ Operating and Dyami Energy was United States dollars.
Use of Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS requires that management make estimates and assumptions and use judgment regarding the measured amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates.
The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements are:
Going Concern
The assessment of the Company’s ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements involves judgment. Estimates and assumptions 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. There is an uncertainty regarding the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern (see Note 1 b).
Fair value of financial instruments
The estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities, by their very nature, are subject to measurement uncertainty.
Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
The Company is exposed to risks related to changes in its share prices, foreign exchange rates, interest rate and volatility rates used to determine the estimated fair value of its derivative liabilities. In the determination of the fair value of these instruments, the Company utilizes certain independent values and, when not available, internal financial models which are based primarily on observable market data. Management’s judgment is required in the development of these models. This estimate also requires determining and making assumptions about the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life, volatility, discount rates and dividend yield.

Settlement of Debt with Equity Instruments
Equity instruments issued to a creditor to extinguish a financial liability are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the date the financial liability is extinguished. The Company estimates the fair value of warrants using the Binomial Lattice pricing model and further assumptions including the expected life, volatility, discount rates and dividend yield. The fair value of the units comprising shares and warrants issued in connection with the extinguishment of a financial liability are then prorated to the total market value of the common shares.
Fair Value of Stock Based Compensation and Warrants
In determining the fair value of share based payments the calculated amounts are not based on historical cost, but is derived based on assumptions (such as the expected volatility of the price of the underlying security, expected hold period before exercise, dividend yield and the risk-free rate of return) input into a pricing model. The model requires that management make forecasts as to future events, including estimates of: the average future hold period of issued stock options and compensation warrants before exercise, expiry or cancellation; future volatility of the Company’s share price in the expected hold period; dividend yield; and the appropriate risk-free rate of interest. The resulting value calculated is not necessarily the value that the holder of the option or warrant could receive in an arm’s length transaction, given that there is no market for the options or compensation warrants and they are not transferable. Similar calculations are made in estimating the fair value of the warrant component of an equity unit. The assumptions used in these calculations are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions could materially affect the related fair value estimates.
| 3. | Correction of Prior Period Errors |
a) Following a settlement entered into regarding an asset acquisition entered effective February 29, 2016, the Company then determined it was required to correct a prior period error for accounting purposes under IAS 8 as discussed below.
The Company negotiated an Asset Purchase Agreement to be effective February 29, 2016, with an expectation to acquire the net assets (the “Acquired Assets”) of Digital Widget Factory Inc., a Belize company (the “Vendor”), in an all-stock transaction by issuing 12,500,000 common shares and 5,750,000 Series A preferred shares of ICE to the Vendor (the “Transaction”). On this basis the proposed Series A preferred shares would be convertible into units of ICE with each unit comprised of 1 common share and 1 common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire an additional common share of ICE for $0.35 for up to 3 years (the common shares and the preference shares are hereafter referred to as the “Proposed Purchase Price Shares”).
The essential components of the proposed Acquired Assets are an intelligent content platform technology developed by Digital Widget Factory Inc. and a series of related websites under the url digiwdgy.com(the “DWF Technology”). The fair value of the Transaction was estimated at $9,530,250 and to be paid through the issuance by the Company of the Proposed Purchase Price Shares. The purchase price allocation to the fair value of the assets recorded as at February 29, 2016 was as follows:
| Consideration: | ||||
| Fair Value of Issuance of 12,500,000 common shares | $ | 5,071,125 | ||
| Fair Value of Issuance of 5,750,000 Series A preferred shares | 4,459,125 | |||
| Total consideration | $ | 9,530,250 | ||
| Allocated to: | ||||
| Intangible assets-technology | $ | 9,530,250 | ||

Subsequent to February 29, 2016, the Company management came to the conclusion that certain representations and warranties made by the Vendor pursuant to the DWF Agreement were conceivably deficient and would not survive the one year period of Indemnification. Management contends that if the Company had this information as at February 29, 2016, management would not have likely completed the transaction and the Proposed Purchase Price Shares would not have been issued. On November 24, 2016, the Company advanced a Notice of Claim to the Vendor under the DWF Agreement.
On December 22, 2016, it was agreed that all disputed matters contained in the DWF Agreement, be resolved in a Settlement Agreement whereby the Company agreed to return the Acquired Assets to the Vendor and the Vendor agreed to return the Proposed Purchase Price Shares paid back to the Company such that best efforts were made so that each party be in the same or similar position it was as at February 29, 2016 had the Transaction not occurred.
The Settlement Agreement closed effective January 20, 2017, when the Vendor returned to the Company the Proposed Purchase Price Shares comprised of 12,500,000 common shares and 5,750,000 Series A preferred shares previously issued to the Vendor and a full and final release in favor of the Company in respect of all obligations under the DWF Agreement. The Proposed Purchase Price Shares have been cancelled in the capital stock of the Company and the Company no longer has any interest in the DWF Technology and the series of digiwidgy.com websites.

The prior period error is described in detail as follows:
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 and 2015 17,092 warrants valued at $709,299 and 61,335 warrants valued at $1,258,206 expired and were accounted for incorrectly in equity as an increase to contributed surplus. Since these warrants were classified as derivative warrant liabilities on the Company’s statement of financial position at the initial date of the transaction, expiry would be considered an extinguishment of the liability in accordance with IAS39 and any gain or loss recognized in the statement of operations in the period the warrants expired. The Company has corrected these errors retrospectively by recognizing the gains on expiry of the warrant liability in the statement of operations in 2014 and 2015 as noted below. The impact of these changes on the financial statements are set out as follows:

| 4. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Consolidation
Control exists when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect these returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, the legal parent, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ice Studio and DoubleTap.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exits which is when a contract or sales order is signed by both parties, delivery has occurred, ownership has been transferred to the customer, price is fixed or determinable and ultimate collection is reasonably assured at the time of delivery.
Revenues from the production of oil and gas properties from 1354166 Alberta were recognized, on the basis of the Company’s working interest in those properties, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product is transferred to the buyer, which is usually when legal title passes to an external party.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities not denominated in the functional currency of an entity are recognized in profit or loss.
Assets and liabilities of entities with functional currencies other than Canadian dollars are translated at the year- end rates of exchange, and the results of their operations are translated at average rates of exchange for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in the foreign currency translation reserve under other comprehensive income.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The diluted earnings per share reflects the dilution that would occur if outstanding stock options and share purchase warrants were exercised or converted into common shares using the treasury stock method and are calculated by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shares by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.
The inclusion of the Company’s stock options and share purchase warrants in the computation of diluted loss per share would have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share and are therefore excluded from the computation.
Discontinued Operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations that has been disposed of or is held for sale, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. Effective August 31, 2015, the Company assigned all of its right, title and interest in Zavala Inc., as partial settlement of a secured convertible note payable and effective February 29, 2016, the Company disposed of its investment in 1354166 Alberta and accordingly their operations have been treated as discontinued operations.
Financial Instruments
Classification and Measurement
Financial instruments are measured at fair value on initial recognition of the instrument. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on whether the financial instrument has been classified as “fair value through profit and loss”, “loans and receivables”, “available-for-sale”, “held-to-maturity”, or “other financial liability” as defined by IAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”.
Financial assets and financial liabilities at “fair value through profit or loss” and are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. Transaction costs are expensed when incurred. The Company has classified cash and derivative liabilities as “fair value through profit and loss”.
Financial instruments classified as “loans and receivables”, “held-to-maturity”, or “financial liabilities” are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method of amortized cost. “Loans and receivables” are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. “Held-to-maturity” financial assets are non-derivative investments that an entity has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.

(Expressed In Canadian Dollars
“Other financial liabilities measured at amortized cost” are those financial liabilities that are not designated as “fair value through profit or loss”. The Company has classified trade and other payables, loans payable, provisions and shareholders’ loans as “other financial liabilities”.
Financial assets classified as “available-for-sale” are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company has classified its marketable securities as “available for sale”.
Cash
Cash in the statement of financial position comprise cash held in banking institutions.
Marketable Securities
At each financial reporting period, the Company estimates the fair value of investments which are available-for-sale, which could be based on quoted closing bid ask spread prices or other measures for unquoted instruments. Adjustments to the fair value of the marketable securities at the financial position date are recorded to other comprehensive income until re-classified to the statement of operations.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company’s derivative instruments consist of derivative liabilities in relation to its i) anti-dilution units issued; and ii) its previous secured convertible note payable; and iii) share purchase warrants with a US Dollar exercise price.
i) The Company has issued Units that contain an anti-dilution provision such that if within 18 months of the issue date, the Company issues additional common shares for a consideration per share or with an exercise or conversion price per share, less than issue price (the “Adjusted Price”) the Holder shall be entitled to receive (for no additional consideration) additional Units in an amount such that, when added to the number of Units acquired by Holder under the agreement will equal the number of Units that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive had the transaction occurred at the Adjusted Price. The anti-dilution provision is considered a derivative and requires fair value measurement at each reporting period. During the reporting periods August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 the Company determined that based on the market price being greater than the issue price per share, no additional common shares were required to be fair valued and recorded as a derivative liability.
ii) The Company had a secured convertible note payable that had a conversion feature which could convert any unpaid principal and accrued interest into conversion units. A conversion unit was comprised of one (1) common share and one (1) common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire a common share of the Company at a price equal to a 15% premium to the price of the common share acquired under the conversion unit. The price of the conversion unit was the lesser of a price equal to the 30-day rolling weighted average price of the Company’s common shares as of the date of conversion, less 20% or US$0.80 per share the (“Conversion Unit”). The terms and features of the conversion met the definition of an embedded derivative. Since both components of the Conversion Unit (the common share component and warrant component) contained a variable exercise/conversion price, the Conversion Unit met the definition of a financial liability under IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”. As a result, the Conversion Unit was a derivative liability that required fair value measurement each reporting period. The Company had selected the Binomial Lattice model to fair value the warrant component of the conversion unit and the Monte Carlo Simulations process for the common share component of the Conversion Unit.
iii) In prior years, the Company had issued share purchase warrants with an exercise price in US dollars, rather than Canadian dollars (the functional currency of the Company). Such share purchase warrants are derivative instruments and the Company was required to re-measure the fair value at each reporting date. The fair value of these share purchase warrants are re-measured at each reporting date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with changes recorded to the statement of operations.

Impairment
Financial Assets
A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. Remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. All impairment losses are recognized in the statement of operations. An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized. For financial assets measured at amortized cost the reversal is recognized in profit or loss.
Taxes
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations except to the extent it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current Income Tax
Current tax expense is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items that are not taxable or not deductible. Current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that were enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. Provisions are established where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future income tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and asset and they relate to the income taxes levied by the same authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities where these entities intend to settle current tax liabilities and asset on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized in respect of temporary differences that arise under the initial recognition exemption other than in a business combination.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company has a share-based compensation plan that grants stock options to employees and non-employees. This plan is an equity settled plan. The Company uses the fair value method for accounting for share-based awards to employees and non-employees.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed over the vesting period, based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. 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 contributed surplus.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
August 31, 2016 and 2015 and 2014
(Expressed In Canadian Dollars
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 Company obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.
Warrants
When the Company issues units comprising common shares and warrants, the Company follows the relative fair value method of accounting for warrants attached to and issued with common shares of the Company. Under this method, the fair value of the common shares is estimated and the fair value of the warrants issued is estimated using an option pricing model. The fair value is then prorated to the total of the net proceeds received on issuance of the common shares and the warrants.
| 5. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Recent Adopted Accounting Standards |
Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The following standards, amendments and interpretations, which may be relevant to the Company have been introduced or revised by the IASB:
(i) In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, and IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers, and SIC 31 Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive five-step framework for the timing and measurement of revenue recognition. The Company intends to adopt IFRS 15 effective September 1, 2018.
(ii) In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments which reflects all phases of the financial instruments project and replaces IAS 39, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early application permitted. Retrospective application is required, but comparative information is not compulsory. The Company does not intend to adopt the new standard prior to its effective date and has not yet determined the impact of this new standard on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(iii) On January 13, 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”) which will replace IAS 17, Leases. IFRS 16 will bring leases on-balance sheet for lessees under a single model, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Lessor accounting however, remains largely unchanged and the distinction between operating and finance leases is retained. IFRS 16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company is assessing the impact of this new standard on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(iv) Amendments to IFRS 2 - Classification and measurement of Share-based payment transactions (“IFRS 2”):
On June 20, 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2, clarifying how to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions. The amendments apply for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. As a practical simplification, the amendments can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or early application is permitted if information is available without the use of hindsight. The amendments provide requirements on the accounting for:
| - | The effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments; |
| - | Share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations; and |

| - | A modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. |
The Company intends to adopt the amendments to IFRS 2 in its Consolidated Financial Statements for the annual period beginning on September 1, 2018. The extent of the impact of adoption of the standard has not yet been determined.
(v) Amendments to IAS 7 – Disclosure initiative: On January 7, 2016 the IASB issued Disclosure Initiative (Amendments to IAS 7). The amendments apply prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments require disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flow and non-cash changes. One way to meet this new disclosure requirement is to provide a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances for liabilities from financing activities. The Company intends to adopt the amendments to IAS 7 in its Consolidated Financial Statements for the annual period beginning on September 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(vi) Amendments to IAS 12 – Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses: On January 19, 2016 the IASB issued Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses. The amendments apply retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments clarify that the existence of a deductible temporary difference depends solely on a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset and its tax base at the end of the reporting period, and is not affected by possible future changes in the carrying amount or expected manner of recovery of the asset. The amendments also clarify the methodology to determine the future taxable profits used for assessing the utilization of deductible temporary differences. The Company intends to adopt the amendments to IAS 12 in its Consolidated Financial Statements for the annual period beginning on September 1, 2017. The extent of the impact of adoption of the amendments has not yet been determined.
Recent Adopted Accounting Standards
The following standards, amendments and interpretations have been adopted by the Company as of September 1, 2016. There were no material impacts on the Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of the adoption of these standards, amendments and interpretations: (i) IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements, the annual improvement projects and IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative.

Secured Note Payable
As at August 31, 2014, the Company had a secured convertible promissory note payable to Benchmark Enterprises LLC. (“Benchmark”) with a face value of $1,322,347 (US$1,216,175) with an interest rate of 10% (the “Note”). The Note was being accreted up to its face value over the life of Note, based on an effective interest rate. For the year ended August 31, 2015, the Company recorded interest on the Note of $154,179. The Note was due on the earliest to occur of: (a) August 31, 2015; (b) the closing of any subsequent financing or series of financings by the Company that results in gross proceeds of an aggregate amount equal to or greater than US$4,400,000, excluding conversion of any existing debt into equity; (c) the date of a sale by the Company of all of the shares in the capital stock of Zavala Inc. held by the Company from time to time; (d) the closing of a merger, reorganization, take-over or other business combination which results in a change of control of the Company or Zavala Inc.; or (e) an event of default. The Note was secured by all of the assets of the Company and Zavala Inc. Benchmark had the option at any time while the Note was outstanding to convert any unpaid principal and accrued interest into conversion units.
In accordance with the terms of the Note and the General Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreements”) the Company had granted and conveyed to Benchmark a first priority security interest in the Company and Zavala Inc., prior and superior to the rights of all third parties existing on or arising after the date of such Loan Agreements, subject to the Permitted Liens.
At August 31, 2015, the Company was unable to pay the Note due in the amount CDN$1,608,149 plus interest of CDN$154,179, totaling CDN$1,762,328, which constituted an event of default pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreements. Benchmark, having made demand for payment of all amounts owed to it under the Note, gave notice to the Company that it intended to exercise its security on the Company’s assets. In an effort to avoid further costs, the Company and Benchmark entered into a Settlement and Exercise of Security Agreement effective August 31, 2015, with the following terms:
| 1. | Effective August 31, 2015, the Company assigns and conveys to Benchmark all of its rights, title and interest in and to Zavala Inc., including but not limited to all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Zavala Inc.; and |
| 2. | Issuance of 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. |
As a result the Company’s extinguishment of the Note, the Company’s investment in Zavala Inc. had been derecognized from the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as at August 31, 2015 (Note 16 a). The fair value of the common shares was determined to be equal to the fair value of the secured note settled The following table presents the effect of the extinguishment of the Note on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company:

The fair value of the Units ($2,516,505) was allocated to common shares $1,715,426 and warrants $801,079 based on their relative fair values and $1,335,935 was recorded as loss on settlement of debt. The terms of the August 30, 2014, conversion agreements contained an anti-dilution provision such that if within 18 months of this the effective date, the Company issues additional common shares for a consideration per share or with an exercise or conversion price per share, less than CDN$0.80 (the “Adjusted Price”) the Holder herein shall be entitled to receive from the Company (for no additional consideration) additional Units in an amount such that, when added to the number of Units acquired by Holder under this agreement will equal the number of Units that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive had this transaction occurred at the Adjusted Price. During the reporting periods August 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had determined that based on the market price of the Company’s common shares being greater than the Unit issue price per share, no additional common shares were required to be fair valued and recorded as a derivative liability.
Effective November 18, 2015, the Company issued a total of 10,329,983 Units in the capital of the Company pursuant to the Adjusted Price. The warrant component was valued using a Binomial Lattice model whereas the fair value of the common share component was based on the current market value of the company’s stock. The fair value of the units of $6,896,800 was allocated to the common shares in the amount of $5,034,157 and warrants in the amount of $1,862,643 based on their relative fair values and $6,896,800 was recognized as a loss on settlement of debt in the statement of operations. Significant assumptions utilized in the Binomial Lattice process for the warrant component of the conversion were as follows:

| 15. | Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risks |
Financial instruments are measured at fair value on initial recognition of the instrument. The types of risk exposure to the Company’s financial instruments and the ways in which such exposures are managed are as follows:
Credit Risk
Credit risk is primarily related to the Company’s receivables and cash and the risk of financial loss if a partner or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. At August 31, 2016, other receivables amounts are $Nil (August 31, 2015: $8,346).
Concentration risk exists in cash because significant balances are maintained with one financial institution. The risk is mitigated because the financial institution is an international bank and all amounts are due on demand.

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is as follows:
| August 31, 2016 ($) | August 31, 2015 ($) | |||||||
| Cash | 449,983 | 32,192 | ||||||
| Other receivables | - | 8,346 | ||||||
| Balance | 449,983 | 40,538 | ||||||
Liquidity Risk
The Company monitors its liquidity position regularly to assess whether it has the funds necessary to fulfill planned opportunities or that viable options are available to fund such opportunities from new equity issuances or alternative sources of financings. As a company without any revenue, there are inherent liquidity risks, including the possibility that additional financing may not be available to the Company, or that such financing terms may not be acceptable to the Company.
The following table illustrates the contractual maturities of financial liabilities:
| August 31, 2016 | Payments Due by Period $ | |||||||||||||||||||

Market Risk
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial market prices, including interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, and other relevant market or price risks. The Company does not use derivative instruments to mitigate this risk.
| (i) | Currency Risk |
The Company is exposed to the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in Canada and a portion of its expenses are incurred in US dollars. A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollar relative to US dollar could have an effect on the Company’s financial instruments. The Company does not hedge its foreign currency exposure.

| (ii) | Interest Rate Risk |
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The majority of the Company’s debt is short-term in nature with fixed rates.
| (iii) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The Company’s financial instruments included on the consolidated statements of financial position are comprised of cash, other receivables, trade and other payables, shareholders’ loans, loans payable, provisions and derivative liabilities. The Company classifies the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value according to the following hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instrument.
• Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
• Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1. Prices in Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace.
• Level 3 – Valuations in this level are those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Cash is stated at fair value (Level 1 measurement). The carrying value of other receivables, trade and other payables, loans payable, secured note payable, derivative liabilities and provisions approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments (Level 3 measurement). Shareholders’ loans are measured at Level 3.
Capital Management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure the Company will have sufficient financial capacity, liquidity and flexibility to fund its operations, growth and ongoing development opportunities. The Company’s capital requirements currently exceed its operational cash flow. As such, the Company is dependent upon future financings in order to maintain liquidity and will be required to issue equity or issue debt.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions, availability of capital and the risk characteristics of any underlying assets in order to meet current and upcoming obligations.
The board of directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management and favourable market conditions to sustain future development of the business. As at August 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company considered its capital structure to be comprised of shareholders’ deficiency.
