PLYMOUTH ROCK TECHNOLOGIES INC. (FORMERLY ALEXANDRA CAPITAL CORP.) |
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN
Plymouth Rock Technologies Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on October 17, 2011. The head office, principal address and registered and records office of the Company are located at 300 - 2015 Burrard Street, Vancouver, B.C., V6J 3H4.
On March 10, 2016, the Company's common shares commenced trading on the CSE. On January 8, 2019, the Company's common shares commenced trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in Germany under the Symbol: 4XA, WKN# - A2N8RH. Effective August 27, 2019, the Company's common shares commenced trading on the OTC Markets Group ("OTCQB") under the symbol: PLRTF.
The Company via its subsidiary, Plymouth Rock Technologies Inc. ("Plymouth Rock USA"), a private Delaware corporation, is developing sensor systems using microwave radar techniques for threat detection mounted on custom designed drones or UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems). The Company's principal business activity through its subsidiary, Plymouth Rock USA, is focused on developing technologies related to remotely detecting assault firearms and suicide bombs concealed on the person or a carry bag. The Company focuses on detection methods without the need for a checkpoint or the compliance of the suspect who is being screened. The Company's planned technologies encompass the very latest radar technologies for quickly detecting, locating, and identifying the presence of threats.
Going Concern
The Company incurred a net loss of $1,474,816 (May 31, 2019 - $1,020,736) for the six months ended
May 31, 2020. As at May 31, 2020, the Company had a history of losses and an accumulated deficit of $7,443,708 (November 30, 2019 - $5,968,892).
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on achieving profitable operations, commercializing its technologies, and obtaining the necessary financing in order to develop these technologies further. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. The Company will continue to review the prospects of raising additional debt and equity financing to support its operations until such time that its operations become self-sustaining, to fund its research and development activities and to ensure the realization of its assets and discharge of its liabilities. While the Company is expanding its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate sufficient funds for future operations. These factors indicate that a material uncertainty exists that casts significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is not expected to be profitable during the ensuing twelve months and therefore must rely on securing additional funds from either issuance of debt or equity financing for cash consideration. During the period ended May 31, 2020, the Company received net cash proceeds of $988,837 (2019 - $76,040) pursuant to financing activities. Management has been successful in raising capital through periodic private placements of the Company's common shares in the past, however there is no certainty that financing will be available in the future of that management's planned actions to address this situation will be successful.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future rather than a process of forced liquidation. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. Such adjustments could be material.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN (Continued)
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic known as COVID-19. The expected impacts on global commerce are expected to be far reaching. Material uncertainties may come into existence that could influence management's going concern assumption. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time and it is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company and its subsidiary, in future periods, such as:
- This will impact demand for the Company's products and services in the near term and will impact the Company's supply chains.
- It may also impact the availability of external funding sources during this period.
- the effect on labour availability due to the severity and the length of potential measures taken by governments to manage the spread of the disease.
Management is closely evaluating the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements ("Financial Statements") have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board ("IASB") and in accordance with International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using accounting policies that the Company expects to adopt in its annual consolidated financial statements for the period ended May 31, 2020. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2019, which are available on www.sedar.com.
These Financial Statements are authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on July 20, 2020.
These Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. In addition, these Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.
These Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company's functional currency. The functional currency of Plymouth Rock USA is U.S. Dollars. The assets and liabilities of Plymouth Rock USA are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising on the translation are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of these Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
PLYMOUTH ROCK TECHNOLOGIES INC. (FORMERLY ALEXANDRA CAPITAL CORP.) |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (continued)
Significant estimates used in preparing the Financial Statements include, but are not limited to the following:
(i) Deferred taxes
The calculation of deferred tax is based on the ability of the Company to generate future taxable income, the estimation of which is subject to significant uncertainty as to the amount and timing. The calculation of deferred tax is also based on assumptions, which are subject to uncertainty as to timing and which tax rates are expected to apply when temporary differences reverse. Deferred tax recorded is also subject to uncertainty regarding the magnitude on non-capital losses available for carry forward and of the balances in various tax pools as the corporate tax return have not been prepared as of the date of financial statement preparation.
(ii) Share-based payments
The fair value of stock options and finders' warrants issued are subject to the limitations of the Black-Scholes option pricing model that incorporates market data and involves uncertainty in estimates used by management in the assumptions. Because the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected lift, volatility of share prices, risk-free rate and dividend yield, changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.
(iii) Fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed
The estimates of fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination require management to make estimates about the price that could be received to sell the assets acquired or discharge the liabilities assumed. Management uses an appropriate methodology (e.g. market, income or cost approach) to estimate the fair values of identifiable intangible assets acquired.
(iv) Impairment of non-financial assets
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit ("CGU") exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm's length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model.
At November 30, 2019, the intangible assets acquired and the goodwill generated from the business acquisition determined to be impaired, therefore an impairment loss of $1,572,552 was charged for 2019 year end. Management was unable to project cash flows that can be generated from the CGUs, and consequently a full impairment loss has been recognized. No impairment loss was booked during the period ended May 31, 2020.
Significant judgments used in the preparation of these Financial Statements include, but are not limited to the following:
PLYMOUTH ROCK TECHNOLOGIES INC. (FORMERLY ALEXANDRA CAPITAL CORP.) |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (continued)
(i) Going concern
Management has applied judgements in the assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern when preparing its Financial Statements for the period ended May 31, 2020. Management prepares the Financial Statements on a going concern basis unless management either intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading or has no realistic alternative but to do so. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period.
(ii) Business combinations
Determination of whether a set of assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute the acquisition of a business or asset may require the Company to make certain judgments as to whether or not the assets acquired and liabilities assumed include the inputs, processes and outputs necessary to constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 - Business Combinations. Based on an assessment of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Company concluded that the acquisition disclosed in Note 13 met the criteria for accounting as a business combination.
(iii) Intangible assets
Intangible assets can be capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. To determine if the future economic benefit is probable depends on the successful commercialization of its technologies and that in turn depends on the management's judgement and knowledge. As at May 31, 2020, the development costs are not capitalized as management was unable to demonstrate the future economic benefits to be generated from the utilization of the associated expenditures.
Cash
Cash consists of amounts held in banks and cashable highly liquid investments with limited interest and credit risk.
Consolidation
The Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances, transactions and any unrealized gains and losses arising from intercompany transactions, have been eliminated. The Company's subsidiary is as follows:

PLYMOUTH ROCK TECHNOLOGIES INC. (FORMERLY ALEXANDRA CAPITAL CORP.) |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Intangible assets
Intangible assets that are reflected in the consolidated statements of financial position consist of assets acquired through business combinations. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized separately from goodwill and are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). An intangible asset is regarded as having an indefinite useful life when, based on all relevant factors, there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate net cash inflows. Accordingly, the Company does not amortize these intangible assets, but reviews them for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired.
Development costs for internally-generated intangible assets are capitalized when all of the following conditions are met:
- technical feasibility can be demonstrated;
- management has the intention to complete the intangible asset and use it;
- management can demonstrate the ability to use the intangible asset;
- it is probable that the intangible asset will generate future economic benefits;
- the Company can demonstrate the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use the intangible asset; and
- costs attributable to the asset can be measured reliably.
The amount initially recognized for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditures incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognized, development expenditures are charged to the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Equipment
Recognition and measurement
On initial recognition, equipment is valued at cost, being the purchase price and directly attributable cost of acquisition or construction required to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Company, including appropriate borrowing costs and the estimated present value of any future unavoidable costs of dismantling and removing the items. The corresponding liability is recognized within provisions.
Equipment is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, less any accumulated impairment losses.
When parts of an item of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of equipment.
Gains and losses
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount and are recognized net within other income in profit or loss.
PLYMOUTH ROCK TECHNOLOGIES INC. (FORMERLY ALEXANDRA CAPITAL CORP.) |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Equipment (Continued)
Depreciation
Half of the normal depreciation is taken in the year of acquisition for equipment with declining balance method. The depreciation rates applicable to each category of property and equipment are as follows:
Computer equipment | 55% declining balance |
Furniture | 20% declining balance |
Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values at the date of acquisition, of assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Company. The acquiree's identifiable assets and liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date. Acquisition related costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. The excess of the consideration over the fair value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recorded in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment.
Share capital
The Company records proceeds from the issuance of its common shares as equity. Proceeds received on the issuance of units, consisting of common shares and warrants are allocated between the common share and warrant component. The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the most easily measurable component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component.
The fair value of the common shares issued in the private placement was determined to be the more easily measurable component and were valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing quoted price on the issuance date. The remaining proceeds, if any, are allocated to the attached warrants. Any fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded as warrant reserve. Management does not expect to record a value to the warrant in most equity issuances as unit private placements are commonly priced at market or at a permitted discount to market. If the warrants are issued as share issuance costs, the fair value of agent's warrants are measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognized in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.
If the warrants are exercised, the related amount is reclassified as share capital. If the warrants expire unexercised, the related amount remains in warrant reserve.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new common shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Common shares issued for consideration other than cash are valued based on their market value at the date that shares are issued.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Share-based payment
The Company recognizes share-based payment expense for the estimated fair value of equity-based instruments granted to both employees and non-employees. Compensation expense is recognized when the options are granted with the same amount being recorded as contributed surplus. The expense is determined using an option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the current share price, the expected volatility of the underlying shares, the expected dividend yield, and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. If the options are exercised, contributed surplus will be reduced by the applicable amount. Share-based payment calculations have no effect in the Company's cash position.
Share purchase warrants
The Company bifurcates units consisting of common shares and share purchase warrants using the residual value approach whereby it first measures the common share component of the unit at fair value using market prices as input values and then allocates any residual amount to the warrant component of the unit. The residual value of the warrant component is credited to reserves. When warrants are exercised, the corresponding residual value is transferred from reserves to share capital. If the warrants are issued as share issuance costs, the fair value of agent's warrants are measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognized in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.
Earnings / loss per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated using the treasury stock method. This method assumes that common shares are issued for the exercise of options, warrants and convertible securities and that the assumed proceeds from the exercise of options, warrants and convertible securities are used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. The difference between the number of shares assumed issued and the number of shares assumed purchased is then added to the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding to determine the fully diluted number of common shares outstanding. No exercise or conversion is assumed during the periods in which a net loss is incurred as the effect is anti-dilutive.
Financial instruments
Financial assets
The Company recognizes financial assets when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument. Financial assets are measured initially at their fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition. Transaction costs attributable to the acquisition of financial assets subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss when incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets are classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost. Interest income is calculated using the effective interest method and gains or losses arising from impairment, foreign exchange and derecognition are recognized in profit or loss. Financial assets measured at amortized cost are comprised of cash, accounts receivable and due from related parties.
PLYMOUTH ROCK TECHNOLOGIES INC. (FORMERLY ALEXANDRA CAPITAL CORP.) |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Financial assets (Continued)
The Company reclassifies debt instruments only when its business model for managing those financial assets has changed. Reclassifications are applied prospectively from the reclassification date and any previously recognized gains, losses or interest are not restated.
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets. Expected credit losses are measured to reflect a probability-weighted amount, the time value of money, and reasonable and supportable information regarding past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
The Company applies the simplified approach for accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing component. Using the simplified approach, the Company records a loss allowance equal to the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the assets' contractual lifetime.
Financial assets are written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering all or any portion thereof.
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when its contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
Financial liabilities
The Company recognizes a financial liability when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. At initial recognition, the Company measures financial liabilities at their fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their issuance, with the exception of financial liabilities subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss for which transaction costs are immediately recorded in profit or loss.
Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest, gains and losses relating to a financial liability are recognized in profit or loss. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are comprised of accounts payable, due to related parties, and loan payable.
The Company derecognizes a financial liability only when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.
Interest
Interest income and expense are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
The 'effective interest rate' is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments over the expected life of the financial instrument to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or the amortized cost of the financial liability. The effective interest rate is calculated considering all contractual terms of the financial instruments, except for the expected credit losses of financial assets.
The 'amortized cost' of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at which the instrument is measured on initial recognition minus principal repayments, plus or minus any cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount and maturity amount and adjusted for any expected credit loss allowance. The 'gross carrying amount' of a financial asset is the amortized cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any expected credit losses.
PLYMOUTH ROCK TECHNOLOGIES INC. (FORMERLY ALEXANDRA CAPITAL CORP.) |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Interest (Continued)
Interest income and expense is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired) or the amortized cost of the financial liability.
Where a financial asset has become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated in subsequent periods by applying the effective interest method to the amortized cost of the financial asset. If the asset subsequently ceases to be credit-impaired, calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.
Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, with the net amount presented in the statement of financial position, when, and only when, the Company has a current and legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when permitted under IFRS, or when arising from a group of similar transactions if the resulting income and expenses are not material.
Goodwill
Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Separately recognized goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis or when there is an indication of impairment. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized by applying the five-step model under IFRS 15. The Company recognizes revenue when, or as the goods or services are transferred to the control of the customer and performance obligations are satisfied. The Company's revenue is comprised of sales of its radar systems, radar components and engineering design and development services. The Company's revenue is recognized when control of the goods has been transferred, being when the goods are delivered to customers and when all performance obligations have been fulfilled. The amounts recognized as revenue represent the fair values of the considerations received or receivable from third parties on the sales of goods to customers, net of goods and services taxes and less returns, and discounts, at which time there are no conditions for the payment to become due other than the passage of time. For its engineering design and development services, revenue is recognized when the service has been rendered.
Government Grants
Government grants are recognized at fair value once there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the grants and that the grants will be received. Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. A forgivable loan from government is treated as a government grant when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will meet the terms for forgiveness of the loan.
PLYMOUTH ROCK TECHNOLOGIES INC. (FORMERLY ALEXANDRA CAPITAL CORP.) |
Income taxes
Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to equity items, in which case it is recognized in equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.
Deferred tax is recorded using the liability method, providing for temporary differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences do not result in deferred tax assets or liabilities: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting profit (loss) nor taxable profit (loss); and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the financial position date.
A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Related party transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions.
Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control and related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
PLYMOUTH ROCK TECHNOLOGIES INC. (FORMERLY ALEXANDRA CAPITAL CORP.) |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Change in accounting policies
IFRS 16, Leases
IFRS 16, Leases is a new standard that sets out the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases including guidance for both parties to a contract, the lessee and the lessor. The new standard eliminates the classification of leases as either operating or finance leases as is required by IAS 17 and instead introduces a single lessee accounting model. IFRS 16 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The impact of this standard is immaterial for all periods presented.
Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet effective
Certain new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards have been issued by the IASB or the IFRIC during the year but are not yet effective. Some updates that are not applicable or are not consequential to the Company may have been excluded from the list below.
IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1") and IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors ("IAS 8") were amended in October 2018 to refine the definition of materiality and clarify its characteristics. The revised definition focuses on the idea that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general-purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of these amendments on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments - clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes. This Interpretation clarifies how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12 Income Taxes when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. In such a circumstance, an entity shall recognise and measure its current or deferred tax asset or liability applying the requirements in IAS 12 based on taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates determined applying this Interpretation.
These new and amended standards does not have a material impact on the Company's Financial Statements.

5. INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL (continued)
For impairment testing purpose, the Company identified that each intangible asset is a separate cash- generating unit ("CGU'). Management was unable to project cash flows that can be generated from each of the CGUs, and consequently a full impairment loss has been recognized. As of November 30, 2019, the intangible assets acquired from the business acquisition were determined to be fully impaired, and an impairment loss of
$1,315,678 was charged for the year ended November 30, 2019.
For impairment testing purposes, goodwill has been allocated to the CGUs, and the entire goodwill balance has been impaired as management was unable to project cash flows that can be generated from each of the CGUs.
During the year ended November 30, 2019, the development costs of $399,720 are expensed as management was unable to demonstrate the future economic benefits to be generated from the utilization of the assets.

8. DEFERRED INCOME LIABILITY
On May 4, 2020, the Company received a CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program Loan ("PPP Loan") of USD75,000. The PPP Loan bears interest at 1% per annum and is repayable monthly staring on December 4, 2020. The loan is forgivable if PRT USA meets the requirements outlined below.
i) The loan proceeds are used to cover payroll costs, and most mortgage interest, rent, and utility costs over the 24 week period after the loan is made; and
ii) Employee and compensation levels are maintained. Payroll costs are capped at $100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee
There is reasonable assurance that the Company will meet the term for forgiveness of the loan; therefore the PPP loan is treated as a government grant and is recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods during which the Company incurs the qualifying expenses.
During the period ended May 31, 2020, the Company incurred the following qualifying expenses
- Wages, salaries, and benefits of $23,084
- Rent of $4,083
These above amounts have been recognized as PPP loan amounts forgiven during the six-month period ending May 31, 2020 and have been recorded as deductions to the above-listed expenses on the Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Loss and Comprehensive Loss.
The deferred income liability balance of $75,835 as at May 31, 2020 represents the portion of the PPP Loan not yet applied to qualified expenses.
9. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company considers its capital structure to include net residual equity of all assets, less liabilities. The Company's objectives when managing capital are to (i) maintain financial flexibility in order to preserve its ability to meet financial obligations and continue as a going concern; (ii) maintain a capital structure that allows the Company to pursue the development of its projects and products; and (iii) optimize the use of its capital to provide an appropriate investment return to its shareholders commensurate with risk.
The Company's financial strategy is formulated and adapted according to market conditions in order to maintain a flexible capital structure that is consistent with its objectives and the risk characteristics of its underlying assets. The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares or acquire or dispose of assets.

11. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's financial assets consist of cash, and due from related parties. The estimated fair values of cash, subscription receivable, and due from related parties approximate their respective carrying values due to the short period to maturity.
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
a. Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
b. Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
c. Level 3 - inputs that are not based on observable market data.
For the periods ended May 31, 2020, November 30, 2019 and 2018, the fair value of the cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and due to and from related parties approximate the book value due to the short-term nature.

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of counterparty limits, controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations when they become due. The Company ensures, as far as reasonably possible, it will have sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations and the Company's holdings of cash. The Company believes that these sources will be sufficient to cover the likely short-term cash requirements.
The Company's cash is currently invested in business accounts which is available on demand by the Company for its operations.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Company has no significant interest rate risk due to the short-term nature of its interest generating assets.
PLYMOUTH ROCK TECHNOLOGIES INC. (FORMERLY ALEXANDRA CAPITAL CORP.) |
11. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of a loss when a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's exposure to credit risk is limited to its cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by holding its cash in deposits with high credit quality Canadian financial institutions.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, due from related parties and accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are denominated in US dollars. 10% fluctuations in the US dollar against the Canadian dollar have affected comprehensive loss for the six-month period by approximately
$1,291.
