Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Months Ended May 31, 2017 and 2016 |
(Expressed In Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited) |
Novicius Corp., (formerly: Intelligent Content Enterprises Inc.) was amalgamated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on November 30, 2009(“Novicius” or the “Company”).The Company filed articles of amendment effective May 26, 2017, and changed its name from Intelligent Content Enterprises Inc., to Novicius Corp., and consolidated its common shares on the basis of one (1) new share for every ten (10) old shares. 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, DoubleTapDaily Inc., (formerly: Digital Widget Factory Inc.) the Company has developed an online content management and advertising platform that powers user and advertising engagement programs in real-time to desktop, mobile and portable devices (http://doubletap.co).
The Company's registered office is located at 1 King Street West, Suite 1505, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 1A1.The Company’s common shares are widely held and trade on the OTCQB under the symbol ICEIF and on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol NVS.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Novicius, 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 DoubleTapDaily Inc.,incorporated in the Province of Ontario on February 29, 2016 (“DoubleTap”). Effective February 29, 2016, the Company disposed of its investment in1354166 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 15).
These unaudited interim condensed 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 has developed 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 May 31, 2017, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,387,536 (August 31, 2016: $690,649) and an accumulated deficit of $30,485,229 (August 31, 2016: $29,587,246). These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Subsequent to May 31, 2017, shareholders advanced the Company US$15,000. 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.
Statement of Compliance
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements required by IFRS as issued by the IASB and interpretations issued by IFRIC. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company were approved by the Board of Directors June 22, 2017.

The functional and presentation currency of the Company, ICE Studio and DoubleTap is Canadian dollars.The functional currency of the Company’s former 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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (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.

| 4. | 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.
Recent Adopted Accounting Standards
The following standards, amendments and interpretations have been adopted by the Company as of September 1, 2017. There were no material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of the adoption of these standards, amendments and interpretations: IAS 7 – Disclosure initiative and IAS 12 – Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses.

| 14. | 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
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:
| | May 31, 2017 ($) | | | August 31, 2016 ($) | |
Cash | | | 5,668 | | | | 449,983 | |
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:
May 31, 2017 | | Payments Due by Period $ | |
| | Total | | | Less than 1 year | | | 1-3 years | | | 4-5 years | | | After 5 years | |
Trade and others payables | | | 1,324,149 | | | | 1,324,149 | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | |

Total | | | 1,173,231 | | | | 1,173,231 | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | |
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.
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. The following assets and liabilities are denominated in US dollars as at the period set out:
| | May 31, 2017 ($) | | | May 31, 2016 ($) | |
Cash | | | 1,589 | | | | 1,560 | |

| 15 | % | | | (6,803 | ) | | | 6,803 | | | | (25,839 | ) | | | 25,839 | |
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, trade and 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.

Shareholder loans | | | 3 | | | | 176,625 | | | | 176,625 | | | | - | | | | - | |
Cash and derivative liabilities are stated at fair value (Level 1 measurement). The carrying value of other receivables, secured note receivable, 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 funds 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.

| 16. | Correction of Prior Period Errors and Adjustments |
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 1,250,000 common shares and 575,000 Series A preferred shares of the Company to the Vendor (the “Transaction”). On this basis the proposed Series A preferred shares would be convertible into units of the Company with each unit comprised of 1 common share and 1 common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire an additional common share of the Company for $3.50 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 were 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 was to be paid through the issuance 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 1,250,000 common shares | | $ | 5,071,125 | |
Fair Value of Issuance of 575,000 Series A preferred shares | | | 4,459,125 | |
Total consideration | | $ | 9,530,250 | |
Allocated to: | | | | |
Intangible assets-technology | | $ | 9,530,250 | |
Transaction Costs: | | | | |

(Expressed In Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited) |
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 1,250,000 common shares and 575,000 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 (Notes A, B, C.
b) During the year ended August 31, 2016, the Company corrected the accounting for prior period errors as noted below. As a result certain amounts have been re-stated from 2015 and 2014 to reflect these changes. The previously issued audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2015 and 2014 and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarters ending November 30, 2014, February 28, 2015 and May 31, 2015 (the “Affected Statements”) have not been restated. The Company has restated the opening statement of financial position at September 1, 2014 and the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2015. Readers of the Affected Statements are advised that they should be read in conjunction with audited consolidated financial statements. The prior period error is described as follows:
The Company had warrants with a US strike price that expired and the fair value was measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was previously recorded as an increase to contributed surplus. The expiry of the derivative liabilities should have been treated as an expiry of the liabilities in accordance with IAS39 and recognized as gain on expiry of the derivative liabilities on the consolidated statement of operations.
Adjustments
a) For the year ended August 31, 2016, the Company made adjustments to the fair value recorded for certain equity instruments used to settled debt and to satisfy anti-dilution provisions of certain debt conversion agreements.

Capital Management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure the Company will have sufficient financial capacity, liquidity and flexibility to funds 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 May 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016, the Company considered its capital structure to be comprised of shareholders’ deficiency.

Management of the Company recognizes that cash flow from operations is not sufficient to meet its working capital requirements or fund additional opportunities or ventures of merit. The Company has liquidity risk which necessitates the Company to obtain debt financing or raise additional equity. There is no assurance the Company will be able to obtain the necessary financing in a timely manner.
The Company’s past primary source of liquidity and capital resources has been proceeds from the issuance of share capital, shareholders’ loans and cash flow from oil and gas operations. If the Company issued additional common shares from treasury it would cause the current shareholders of the Company dilution.
Outlook and Capital Requirements
The Company anticipates further expenditures to expand its current business plan. Amounts expended on future opportunities and ventures of merit is dependent on the nature of the opportunities evaluated by the Company. Any expenditure which exceeds available cash will be required to be funded by additional share capital or debt issued by the Company, or by other means. The Company’s long-term profitability will depend upon its ability to successfully implement its business plan.

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.
Recent Adopted Accounting Standards
The following standards, amendments and interpretations have been adopted by the Company as of September 1, 2017.
