INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of NexTech AR Solutions Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of NexTech AR Solutions Corp. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2019 and May 31, 2019, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the seven months ended December 31, 2019 and the year ended May 31, 2019, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2019 and May 31, 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the seven months ended December 31, 2019 and the year ended May 31, 2019 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements, which describes events or conditions that indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| ● | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
| ● | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. |
| ● | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. |
| ● | Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| ● | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
| ● | Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. |
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is David Goertz.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the seven month period ended December 31, 2019 and year ended May 31, 2019
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN |
NexTech AR Solutions Corp. (the “Company” or “NexTech”) was incorporated in the province of British Columbia on January 12, 2018. The Company’s principal business activities are the acquisition and development of augmented reality technology for purposes of generating revenue from multiple sources including a platform for omni channel solutions for augmented reality, eCommerce, analytics and advertising. The Company’s shares are traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the trading symbol “NTAR”, in the United States of America on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “NEXCF”. The Company’s registered office is located at 1200- 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 2T8.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to generate revenue to establish profitable operations and to obtain the necessary equity or debt financing to fund operations as required. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION |
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 25, 2020.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to enhance comparability with the current year’s financial statements. As a result, certain line items have been amended in the statement of comprehensive loss, and the related notes to the financial statements. Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Change in year-end
The company elected to change its financial year-end from May 31 to December 31. As a result of the change, the current period presented is seven months ending December 31, 2019. As a result of this change, the amounts presented are not entirely comparable to the prior period for the year ended May 31, 2019.
Basis of Measurement
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis and have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information. They are presented in Canadian dollars (“CAD”), which is also the Company’s functional currency.
Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the financial statement of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

For the seven month period ended December 31, 2019 and year ended May 31, 2019
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued) |
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company until the date on which control ceases. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries are NexTech AR Solutions USA LLC and AR Ecommerce LLC.
Foreign Currency Translation
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, except when otherwise indicated. The functional currency of each entity is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.
The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. The functional currency for NexTech AR Solutions USA LLC and AR Ecommerce LLC is the United States dollar.
For the Company, transactions in currencies other than the Canadian dollar are recorded at exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, the monetary assets and liabilities of the Company that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange at the reporting date while non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange gains and losses arising on translation are included in the statement of comprehensive loss. For the Company’s two US subsidiaries, all assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the reporting date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange gains or losses are included as other comprehensive income in the statement of comprehensive loss.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Intangible assets are recognized and measured at cost. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the useful life of the asset. The Company conducts an annual assessment of the residual balances, useful lives and amortization methods being used for intangible assets and any changes arising from the assessment are applied by the Company prospectively. The following table presents the Company’s assessment of the useful lives of intangible assets:
Website | 10 years |
Customer relationships | 5 years |
Supplier relationships | 10 years |
Trademarks | 4 years |
Goodwill represents the excess of the value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired. Goodwill is allocated to the cash generating unit to which it relates.

2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued) |
Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If indicators exist, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amounts of the following types of intangible assets are measured annually, whether or not there is any indication that it may be impaired:
| ● | an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life; |
| ● | an intangible asset not yet available for use; and |
| ● | goodwill recognized in a business combination. |
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (“CGU”) is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets.
If there is an indication that a corporate asset may be impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the corporate asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
In respect of assets other than goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed in a subsequent period when there has been an increase in the recoverable amount of a previously impaired asset or CGU. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
Financial Instruments
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; fair value in other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”); or fair value in profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics.
Financial liabilities, are recognized initially at fair value net of any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest and any transaction costs over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability or (where appropriate) to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Other financial liabilities are de-recognized when the obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. In cases where the fair value option is chosen for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change relating to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the income statement, unless this creates an accounting mismatch.
Derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard are never separated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification.

A single expected credit loss model is used for calculating impairment for financial assets, which is based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition.
Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in the consolidated statements of net (loss) income, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.
Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued plus any liabilities incurred to the former owner. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed (including assets and liabilities of the acquiree not previously recognized) in the business combination are measured initially at fair values at the date of acquisition, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the purchase consideration of the business combination over the Company’s share in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities. If the purchase consideration is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in profit or loss.
Convertible Debentures
The components of the compound financial instrument (convertible debenture) issued by the Company are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. The conversion option that will be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount in cash for a fixed number of equity instruments of the Company is classified as an equity instrument. At the issue date, the liability component is recognized at fair value, which is estimated using the effective interest rate on the market for similar nonconvertible instruments. Subsequently, the liability component is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate until it is extinguished on conversion or maturity.
The value of the conversion option classified as equity is determined at the issue date, by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This amount is recognized in equity, net of tax effects, and is not revised subsequently. When the conversion option is exercised, the equity component of the convertible debentures will be transferred to share capital. No profit or gain is recognized to the conversion or expiration of the conversion option.
Transaction costs related to the issuance of the convertible debentures are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the initial carrying amounts. Transaction costs related to the equity component are recognized directly in equity. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying value of the liability component and amortized over the estimated useful life of the debentures using the effective interest rate method.

Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost basis. The Company reviews inventory for obsolete, redundant and slow-moving goods and any such inventory are written down to net realizable value. Inventory consists solely of finished goods.
Equipment
Equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Equipment is amortized on a straight-line basis over five years.
Cost comprises the fair value of consideration given to acquire or construct an asset and includes the direct charges associated with bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for putting it into use, along with the future cost of dismantling and removing the asset. When parts of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of equipment. The cost of major overhauls of parts of equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Share Capital
Common shares issued for non-monetary consideration are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date and classified as equity. The measurement date is defined the date at which the counterparty’s services are rendered or the Company obtains the goods.
The Company has adopted the 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 more 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 private placements was determined to be the more easily measurable component and the shares were valued at the full unit value. No value was attributed to the warrants because the Company is newly incorporated, and its shares are not trading on any exchange. Transaction costs on the issuance of equity instruments for cash are recognized as a deduction from equity.
Share-Based Payment Transactions
The Company grants stock options to purchase common shares of the Company as well as equity instruments representing common shares to directors, officers, employees, and consultants. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes or provides services similar to those performed by an employee, including directors of the Company. The fair value of the stock options granted is measured at grant date and each tranche is recognized on a graded basis over the vesting period. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At the end of each reporting period, the amount recognized as an expense for unvested options is adjusted to reflect the number of the options that are expected to vest. If the options are forfeited subsequent to vesting or expire, the amount recorded to the reserves is transferred to deficit.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of products or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the products or services. The Company’s hosted software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) application, which allows customers to use hosted software over the contract period without taking possession of the software, is provided upon a subscription basis, and recognized rateably over the contract period, commencing on the date an executed contract exists and the customer has the right-to-use and access to the platform.

Revenue from services rendered for augmented reality is recognized as delivered to the customer.
The Company sells products through its retail store and has e-commerce sales through its website and other sales channels. Retail store sales are recognized at the point of sale, whereas e-commerce sales are recognized when the goods are shipped. Revenue excludes sales tax and is recorded net of discounts and an allowance for estimated returns unless the terms of the sale are final. A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes the cost of inventory sold during the year, as well as provisions for reserves related to product shrinkage, obsolete inventory and lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments when required. For the seven months ended December 31, 2019, $1,655,756 (year ended May 31, 2019 - $868,379) of inventory was recognized in cost of sales.
Loss per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the loss attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all potentially dilutive common shares. The calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense. Income tax expense is recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous periods.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for deferred 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 the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized, or the liability settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that substantive enactment occurs. A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, the deferred tax asset is reduced.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Critical accounting estimates are estimates and assumptions made by management that may result in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year and include, but are not limited to, the following:
Carrying value and recoverability intangible assets
The Company has determined that intangible assets that are capitalized may have future economic benefits and may be economically recoverable. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market condition and useful lives of assets. The Company utilized the relief from royalty method to test impairment on licenses which utilizes projections that are inherently judgemental and subjective and future results may not be consistent with the amounts used in the impairment test.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
The Company estimates the expected manner and timing of the realization or settlement of the carrying value of its assets and liabilities and applies the tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted on the estimated dates of realization or settlement. Any changes to the timing of the realization or settlement of these items could impact their value.
Share-based payments
Management is required to make a number of estimates when determining the fair value of the payments resulting from share-based transactions, including the forfeiture rate and expected life of the instruments.
Critical Accounting Judgments
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements include, but are not limited to:
Going concern
The Company may need to raise additional capital to continue as a going concern. Management believes that it can generate revenue from its technology assets and raise additional capital to fund its ongoing operations and accordingly these statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Business combinations
The determination of whether a set of assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business may require the Company to make certain judgments, taking into account all facts and circumstances. A business is presumed to be an integrated set of activities and assets capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return in the form of dividends, lower costs or economic benefits.

The Company considered the applicability of IFRS 3 – Business Combination (“IFRS 3”) with respect to the acquisitions (Note 3). IFRS 3 defines a business as having a system where inputs enter a process to produce outputs.
Research and development costs
Research costs are recognized as an expense when incurred but development costs may be capitalized as intangible assets if certain conditions are met as described in IAS 38, Intangible Assets. Management has determined that development costs do not meet the conditions for capitalization under IAS 38 and all research and development costs have been expensed.
Accounting pronouncements
On June 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 – Leases. This standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating or finance leases, for a lessee. Instead, all leases are treated in a similar way to finance leases applied in IAS 7. IFRS 16 does not require a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for short-term leases of twelve months or less and low value leases.
The Company applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, financial information will not be restated and will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company will recognize lease liabilities related to its lease commitments for its office leases. The lease liabilities will be measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate as at June 1, 2019, the date of initial application, resulting in no adjustment to the opening balance sheet. The associated right-of-use assets will be measured at the lease liabilities amount. The Company has implemented the following accounting policy as of June 1, 2019, under IFRS 16.
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company determines whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset during the term of the arrangement exists, and if the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative standalone prices.
As lessee, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which is comprised of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments before the commencement date, plus any decommissioning and restoration costs, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term, or the end of the useful life of the asset. In addition, the right-of-use asset may be reduced due to impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued) |
A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of:
| ● | Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable; |
| ● | Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; |
| ● | amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; |
| ● | exercise prices of purchase options if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option; and |
| ● | payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. |
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is measured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or if there is a change in the estimate or assessment of the expected amount payable under a residual value guarantee, purchase, extension or termination option. Variable lease payments not included in the initial measurement of the lease liability are charged directly to profit or loss.
The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low value assets. The lease payments associated with these leases are charged directly to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Acquisition of AR Ecommerce LLC
On January 7, 2019, the Company acquired a 100% interest of AR Ecommerce LLC from its CEO and COO who each held a 50% interest. NexTech issued 1,000,000 common shares to each officer with a total fair value of $1,620,000 (Note 10). On October 31, 2018, AR Ecommerce LLC purchased the assets of an internet-related business, Vacuum Cleaner Market. Vacuum Cleaner Market is a vacuum cleaner retailer focused on high-end residential vacuums, supplies, and parts through their retail location and online sales channels.

On December 3, 2018, the Company acquired a license for an on-line learning technology, edCetra, from its COO by issuing 300,000 common shares with a fair value of $114,000 (Note 10). edCetra is a part of the Company’s augmented reality platform. The transaction was an asset acquisition and the license has been recorded as an intangible asset.
On March 20, 2018, the Company issued 12,000,000 shares with a fair value of $1,150,000 to acquire a license for patented technology. The Company purchased the license to use it as a platform for generating revenue. The license was acquired from Future Farm Technologies Inc. (“Future Farm”). Future Farm is a related party as it has directors in common and as a part of this transaction became a major shareholder. Future Farm had originally acquired the license for $1,150,000. As no considerable work had been performed or events had occurred since the acquisition by Future Farm, the fair value was determined to approximate the original purchase price.

The Company estimated the recoverable amount based on the value-in-use method of the group of cash-generating units that both of the acquired businesses contribute to was higher than the carrying value at December 31, 2019.
The key assumptions used in the calculations of the recoverable amounts include sales growth per year, changes in cost of sales and capital expenditures based on internal forecasts.

11. | FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT |
Financial Risk Management
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, which include credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, and interest rate risk.
Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from cash as well as credit exposures to counterparties of outstanding receivables and committed transactions. There is no significant concentration of credit risk other than cash deposits and receivables. The Company’s cash deposits are primarily held with a Canadian chartered bank and receivables are due from the distributors of the company’s products and customers.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s main source of cash resources is through equity financings and from convertible debentures. The Company’s financial obligations are limited to its current liabilities which have contractual maturities of less than one year. The Company manages liquidity risk as part of its overall “Management of Capital” as described below.
Currency Risk
The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in Canada and a portion of the Company’s expenses are incurred in U.S. dollars (“USD”). A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollar relative to the USD could affect the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations. As at December 31, 2019, the Company is exposed to currency risk through cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable denominated in USD. A 10% change in exchange rate could increase/decrease the Company’s net loss by $1,978.
Interest Rate Risk
The interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rates. The company is not exposed to significant cash flow fluctuations due to interest rate changes. As such, fluctuations in the market interest rates during the seven months ended December 31, 2019 and the year ended May 31, 2019 had no significant impact on the Company’s financing expense.
Management of Capital
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern to pursue the development of its technologies. The Company relies mainly on equity issuances to raise new capital. In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of equity. The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in savings accounts or highly liquid short-term deposits with terms of one year or less and which can be liquidated after thirty days without penalty. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. Management believes that the Company may have to raise additional capital to sustain its operations for the next twelve months.

12. | FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) |
Fair Values
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value with subsequent measurement depending on classification as described below. Classification of financial instruments depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired or issued, their characteristics, and the Company’s designation of such instruments. As at December 31, 2019, the Company’s financial instruments were classified as at amortized at cost. The carrying values of cash, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
13. | SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE WITH RESPECT TO CASH FLOWS |
For the seven months ended December 31, 2019, incurred the following non-cash investing and financing transactions:
| ● | issued 100,000 shares (with a fair value of $66,630) as partial settlement of other payables (Note 10); and |
