Item 1. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Semiannual Report on Form 1-SA (this “Semiannual Report”) contains forward-looking statements that are based upon current expectations which involve risks and uncertainties associated with the Company’s business and the economic environment in which the business operates. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies, future acquisitions and the industry and business environment in which we operate. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements, which are often, but not always, identified by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “approximate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “budget,” “could,” “forecast,” “might,” “predict,” “shall” or “project,” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results or performance may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, changes in local, regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market (supply and demand) and regulatory conditions. Readers are cautioned that the above factors are not exhaustive.
We caution you therefore that you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements as statements of historical fact or as guarantees or assurances of our future performance. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Semiannual Report. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or other information contained herein. All the forward-looking information contained in this Semiannual Report is expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
The financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 1-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2021.
In this Semiannual Report, unless otherwise indicated by the context, “we,” “us,” “our,” “our company” and the “Company” refer to Juva Life Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “dollar” or “$” in this Semiannual Report refer to US dollars, the lawful currency of the United States.
Overview
Juva Life Inc. was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada on April 3, 2019. The principal business of the Company is to acquire, own, and operate various cannabis businesses in the State of California.
The Company operates in the medical and recreational cannabis sectors in the State of California. While some states in the United States, including California, have authorized the use and sale of marijuana, it remains illegal under U.S. federal law, and the approach to enforcement of U.S. federal laws against marijuana is subject to change. Because the Company engages in marijuana-related activities in the United States, it assumes certain risks relating to conflicting state and federal laws. The federal laws relating to marijuana could be enforced at any time and this would put the Company at risk of being prosecuted and having its assets seized.
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020
Sales, Cost of Goods Sold, and Gross Profit
| | For the six months ended June 30, 2021 | | | For the six months ended June 30, 2020 | |
| | | | | | |
Sales | | $ | 1,314,804 | | | $ | 229,215 | |
Cost of goods sold | | | 1,020,692 | | | | 130,731 | |
Gross profit | | | 294,112 | | | | 98,484 | |
Sales during the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased to $1,314,804 compared to $229,215 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Cost of goods sold and gross profit increased to $1,020,692 and $294,112, respectively, compared to $130,731 and $98,484, respectively, during the comparative period. These increases are a result of the Company continuing to grow its online delivery business and generating sales from its initial harvests.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $7,287,392 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $4,245,888 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Such increase in operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2021 is primarily due to the following:
| - | Marketing and promotion increased to $1,766,657 (2020 - $101,289) due to the execution of the Company’s marketing program; |
| - | Salaries and benefits increased to $1,252,564 (2020 - $826,044) as a result of new hires; |
| - | Professional fees increased to $736,199 (2020 - $459,531) due to costs associated with the Company’s special warrant financing as well as costs associated with other regulatory filings; and |
| - | Non-cash depreciation increased to $974,237 (2020 - $381,401) as the Company started taking deprecation on cultivation equipment and leasehold improvements now that facilities are ready for use. |

The Company also reported a gain on disposition of $687,130 pertaining to the sale of a subsidiary and a foreign exchange loss of $731,448 due to fluctuations between the Canadian and US. dollars during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Net Loss
As a result of all of the above, during the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company reported a net loss of $8,310,948 compared to a net loss of $4,822,396 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
COVID-19
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. The pandemic has not, to date, had any material adverse effects on the Company’s ability to execute its business plans and strategy. As the pandemic continues to develop, it is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the development of the pandemic and its future effects on the Company’s business or results of operations. As a result, many of the estimates and assumptions used in preparation of these interim financial statements require increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve with respect to the pandemic, the Company’s estimates may materially change in future periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Working Capital
The Company does not currently generate sufficient cash from operations to fund business activities. Our generation of cash from operations formally commenced in 2020 with the Company’s online retail delivery business. The Company has financed its activities to date by raising equity capital from private placements and the Regulation A, Tier 2 offering. The Company may encounter difficulty sourcing future financing.
The Company had cash of $6,941,850 as of June 30, 2021, as compared to $2,158,694 as of December 31, 2020, and working capital of $6,952,743 as of June 30, 2021, as compared to $68,311 as of December 31, 2020 (not including the warrant liability). The Company recognized warrant liability of $116,952 as of June 30, 2021, as compared to $4,771,841 as of December 31, 2020.
Private Placements and Regulation A Offering
On February 18, 2021, the Company closed a private placement by issuing 9,528,578 Special Warrants at CAD$1.05 per Special Warrant for gross proceeds of CAD$10,005,007. Each Special Warrant is automatically exercisable, for no additional consideration, into one unit of the Company (each, a “Unit”) on the date that is the earlier of: (i) as soon as reasonably practical, but in any event, no later than the date that is the third business days following the date on which the Company obtains a receipt from the applicable securities regulatory authorities for a (final) prospectus qualifying distribution of the Units, and (ii) the date that is four months and one day after the closing of the offering. Each Unit shall consist of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant (referred to as a “warrant”) is exercisable at CAD$1.35 and expires 24 months from the closing date. In connection with the private placement, the Company paid a cash commission of CAD$681,975, issued 666,999 broker warrants valued at CAD$637,985 using the black-scholes option pricing model, and incurred CAD$133,644 in transaction costs.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued 36,198,782 units at a price of $0.50 per unit for gross proceeds of $18,099,391 in connection with its Regulation A, Tier 2 offering. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of a common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable for a period of 18 months at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The Company terminated the Regulation A, Tier 2 offering effective May 31, 2020.
Other Capital Resources
The Company defines the capital that it manages as its shareholders’ equity.
The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain corporate and administrative functions necessary to support the Company’s operations and corporate functions, and to seek out and acquire new projects of merit. The Company manages its capital structure in a manner that provides sufficient funding for operational and capital expenditure activities. Funds are secured, when necessary, through debt funding or equity capital raised by means of private placements. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain debt or equity capital in the case of working capital deficits.
The Company does not pay dividends and has no long-term debt or bank credit facility. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
If additional funds are required, the Company plans to raise additional capital primarily through the private placement of its equity securities. Under such circumstances, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain further funds required for the Company’s continued working capital requirements.
Going Concern
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to raise additional capital as required. During the period from June 29, 2018 (inception of Juva Life, Inc.) through June 30, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $36,897,792. Currently, we intend to finance our operations through equity and debt financings and revenues from operations.
We have not generated significant sales to date. We have primarily funded operations with capital raised from private placements and a Tier 2 offering pursuant to the Regulation A exemption from registration under the Securities Act.
We continually evaluate our plan of operations to determine the manner in which we can most effectively utilize our limited cash resources. The timing of completion of any aspect of our plan of operations is highly dependent upon the availability of cash to implement that aspect of the plan and other factors beyond our control. There is no assurance that we will successfully obtain the required capital or revenues, or, if obtained, that the amounts will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations.
These circumstances raise substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
Capital Expenditures
The Company’s operating subsidiary, Juva Life, Inc., has contractual obligations for capital expenditures in the amount of $200,000 and projected capital expenditures of $5,000,000 to complete the construction of its facilities in California, and we expect to use the proceeds from our recent financings and the Regulation A, Tier 2 Offering and future private placements to fulfill such commitments.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has entered into the following agreements:
The commercial premises from which the Company carries out its operations are leased from multiple groups, some of which are related parties. These lease agreements are classified as operating leases since there is no transfer of risks and rewards inherent to ownership. The minimum rent payable under the leases as of June 30, 2021 are as follows:
| | Total | |
Within one year | | $ | 934,674 | |
Between two and five years | | | 842,384 | |
| | $ | 1,777,058 | |
| | | | |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Trend Information
Because we are still in the startup phase and have only a limited operating history, we are unable to identify any significant recent trends in revenues or expenses, and we are unable to identify any known trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events involving our business that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our revenues, income from operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause reported financial information to not be indicative of future operating results or financial condition. Furthermore, there can be no assurances the Company will receive the required state and local licensing as it expands its operations.
Item 2. Other Information

Juva Life Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Juva Life Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on April 3, 2019. The principal business of the Company is to acquire, own, and operate various cannabis business in the state of California. The Company’s registered office is 1055 West Georgia Street, 1500 Royal Centre, P.O. Box 11117, Vancouver, BC V6E 4N7. The Company’s common shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the trading symbol JUVA.
The Company operates in the medical and recreational cannabis sectors in California, USA. As at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company operates in one reportable segment, being the cannabis operations. All non-current assets of the Company are located in the USA. While some states in the United States have authorized the use and sale of marijuana, it remains illegal under federal law and the approach to enforcement of U.S. federal laws against marijuana is subject to change. Because the Company is engaged in marijuana-related activities in the US, it assumes certain risks due to conflicting state and federal laws. The federal law relating to marijuana could be enforced at any time and this would put the Company at risk of being prosecuted and having its assets seized.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results of operations at this time.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due. 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. The Company incurred a net loss of $8,310,948 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 (2020 - $4,822,396. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for a complete set of annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in US dollars and all financial amounts, other than per-share amounts, are rounded to the nearest dollar. The functional currency of the Company and all of its US subsidiaries is the US dollar. The functional currency of the Canadian subsidiary is the Canadian dollar. Transactions in currencies other than the US dollar are recorded at exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities of the Company that are denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the statement of financial position date, while non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date of the transaction. Exchange gains and losses arising on translation are included in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
The policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are based on IFRS issued and effective as of June 30, 2021.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the measurement basis specified by IFRS for each type of asset, liability, revenue and expense.
| 3.2. | Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions |
The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
Juva Life Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continually 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 results could differ from these estimates.
Critical adjustments exercised in applying accounting polices that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are as follows:
Determination of functional currency
The Company determines the functional currency through an analysis of several indicators such as expenses and cash flow, financing activities, retention of operating cash flows, and frequency of transactions within the reporting entity.
Going concern
The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments regarding the going concern of the Company as previously discussed in Note 2.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company performs impairment testing annually for long-lived assets as well as when circumstances indicate that there may be impairment for these assets. Management judgement is involved in determining if there are circumstances indicating that testing for impairment is required, and in identifying cash generating unit (“CGU”) for the purpose of impairment testing.
The Company assesses impairment by comparing the recoverable amount of a long-lived asset, CGU, or CGU group to its carrying value. The recoverable amount is defined as the higher of: (i) value in use; or (ii) fair value less cost to sell. The determination of the recoverable amount involves management judgement and estimation. These estimates and assumptions could affect the Company’s future results if the current estimates of future performance and fair values change.
Estimation Uncertainty
The following are key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:
Depreciation and amortization
The Company’s equipment and finite-life intangible assets are depreciated and amortized using a 10% declining-balance method, taking into account the estimated useful lives of the assets and residual values. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lease term. Changes to these estimates may affect the carrying value of these assets, net earnings, and comprehensive income (loss) in future periods.
Income taxes
Provisions for income taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by taxing authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were originally recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Valuation of share-based compensation
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for valuation of share-based compensation. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate, and forfeiture rate. Changes in input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s earnings and equity reserves.
Inventory
The Company reviews the net realizable value of, and demand for, its inventory regularly to provide assurance that recorded inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Factors that could impact estimated demand and selling prices include competitor actions, supplier prices and economic trends.
Biological assets and inventory
In calculating the value of the biological assets and inventory, management is required to make several estimates, including estimating the stage of growth of the cannabis up to the point of harvest, harvesting costs, average or expected selling prices and list prices, expected yields for the cannabis plants, and oil conversion factors. In calculating final inventory values, management compares the inventory costs to estimated realizable value.

| 3.3 | Basis of consolidation |
In addition to Juva Life, Inc., as mentioned previously, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its wholly controlled subsidiaries including Precision Apothecary Inc. (“Precision”), Juva RWC Inc., and Juva Stockton Inc., all of which were incorporated in the state of California and 1177988 B.C. Ltd., a company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Where the Company’s interest is less than 100%, the interest attributable to outside shareholders is reflected in non-controlling interest. Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Company’s equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling interests’ share of changes in equity since the date of the combination.
The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants. The Company capitalizes the direct and indirect costs incurred related to the biological transformation of the biological assets between the point of initial recognition and the point of harvest including labor related grow costs, grow consumables, materials, utilities, facilities costs, quality and testing costs, and production related depreciation. The Company then measures the biological assets at fair value less cost to sell up to the point of harvest, which becomes the basis for the cost after harvest. Costs to sell include post-harvest production, shipping, and fulfillment costs. The net unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in fair value less cost to sell during the year are included in the results of operations of the related year on the line “unrealized fair value gain (loss) on biological assets”.
Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. In estimating fair value, the Company uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. In certain cases where Level 1 inputs are not available the Company expects to engage with third party qualified valuers to perform the valuation when the assets are expected to be material. The significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the biological assets are as follows:
• Stage in the overall growth cycle;
• Estimated harvest yield by plant; and
• Average selling prices.
The Company’s estimates are, by their nature, subject to change. Changes in the anticipated yield or quality will be reflected in future changes in the gain or loss on biological assets.
On March 31, 2021, the Company sold its wholly-owned subsidiary, VG Enterprises LLC (“VG”). The sale transaction was effected pursuant to an Agreement for Purchase of LLC Interest dated March 31, 2021, by and between the Company and Baja Investment Partners, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Baja”), as buyer (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold its 100% limited liability company membership interest in VG to Baja for a purchase price of $1,100,000, which is included in other receivables. The Company realized a gain on sale of $695,380.
Upon the closing of the transaction under the Purchase Agreement, Baja delivered cash in the amount of $275,000 and an Equity Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $825,000 (the “Promissory Note”) to the Company as consideration. The Promissory Note will be due and payable in three equal installments of $275,000 each, with the first installment due within 90 days following the closing date, the second installment due within 180 days following the closing date, and the third installment due within 270 days following the closing statement. The entire balance of principal under the Promissory Note will be due and payable on or before the date that is 270 days following the closing date. Any amount payable under the Promissory Note that is not paid when due will accrue interest until paid in full at the rate of 10% per annum. Baja’s obligations under the Promissory Note are secured by a first-priority security interest in all the membership interest in VG owned by Baja, as set forth in a separate Security Agreement dated March 31, 2021 between the Company and Baja. Baja may prepay the amount due under the Promissory Note in whole or in part at any time without penalty.
In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a Finder’s Fee Agreement dated March 31, 2021 with Drivon Consulting, Inc., pursuant to which the Company paid to Drivon Consulting, Inc. a one-time finder’s fee in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the consideration received by the Company in connection with the transaction, or $33,000.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

While the Company’s biological assets are within the scope of IAS 41 Agriculture, the direct and indirect costs of biological assets are determined using an approach that is similar to the capitalization criteria outlined in IAS 2 Inventories. They include the direct cost of seeds and growing materials as well as other indirect costs such as utilities and supplies and labor used in the growing process.

Biological assets are measured at their fair value less costs to sell in the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position. The Company’s method of accounting for biological assets attributes value accretion on a straight-line basis throughout the life of the biological asset from initial cloning to the point of harvest. All direct and indirect costs of biological assets are capitalized as they are incurred, and they are all subsequently recorded within the line item “cost of finished cannabis inventory sold” on the condensed consolidated interim statement of loss and comprehensive loss in the period that the related product is sold. Unrealized fair value gains/losses on the growth of biological assets are recorded in a separate line in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
There was no transfer to inventory of the harvest in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. The Company values biological assets at the end of each reporting period at fair value less costs to sell (“FVLCS”). The determination of fair value less costs to sell is based on a valuation model that estimates the expected harvest yield per plant applied to the estimated wholesale price per gram, less estimated selling costs. The model also considers the stage of the biological asset in the aggregate plant life cycle. The table below shows the assumptions used in the biological assets model for the harvest in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.
Yield – grams | | | 19,437 | |
Yield per plant – grams | | | 31 | |

In connection with the private placements completed during the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued a total of 13,229,194 warrants exercisable at a price ranging from CAD$0.05 to CAD$0.60 per share. These warrants were assigned a fair value of $747,807 using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model.
In connection with the private placements completed during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued a total of 2,897,416 warrants exercisable at a price of CAD$0.60 per share. These warrants were assigned a fair value of $180,405 using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, 7,150,353 of these warrants were exercised. The warrants were revalued on the date of exercise. Upon exercise, the total value of $5,910,052 pertaining to these warrants was transferred from warrant liability to share capital, using the following weighted average assumptions:
| 2021 |
Risk-free interest rate | 0.44% |
Expected stock price volatility | 100% |
Expected dividend yield | 0.0% |
Expected warrant life in years | 0.68 |
Weighted average exercise price | CAD$0.44 |
Weighted average share price | CAD$1.61 |
The fair value allocated to the remaining warrants at June 30, 2021 was $116,952 (2020 - $4,771,841) and is recorded as a derivative financial liability as these warrants are exercisable in Canadian dollars, differing from the Company’s functional currency. The change in fair value resulted in a loss of $1,255,163 (2020 – 530,861) and is recognized in the condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
The Company used the following weighted average assumptions to estimate the fair value of the warrant liability as at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

The Company defines the capital that it manages as components within its shareholders’ equity.
The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain corporate and administrative functions necessary to support the Company’s operations and corporate functions; and to seek out and acquire new projects of merit.
The Company manages its capital structure in a manner that provides sufficient funding for operational and capital expenditure activities. Funds are secured, when necessary, through debt funding or equity capital raised by means of private placements. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain debt or equity capital in the case of working capital deficit.
The Company does not pay dividends and has no long-term debt or bank credit facility. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
13.1 Financial Risk Management
The Company may be exposed to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives. The main objectives of the Company’s risk management processes are to ensure that risks are properly identified and that the capital base is adequate in relation to those risks. The principal risks to which the Company is exposed are described below.
The Company manages its capital to ensure that there are adequate capital resources for the Company to maintain operations. The capital structure of the Company consists of items in shareholders’ equity.
Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will be unable to pay any amounts owed to the Company. Management’s assessment of the Company’s exposure to credit risk is low.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is not able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. As at June 30, 2021, the Company had working capital of $6,952,743 (excluding the warrant liability) (2020 – $68,311), and it does not have any long-term monetary liabilities. The Company may seek additional financing through debt or equity offerings, but there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Any equity offering will result in dilution to the ownership interests of the Company’s shareholders and may result in dilution to the value of such interests. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at June 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $6,941,850 (2020 – $2,158,694) and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $769,961 (2020 - $1,883,222).
Market risk incorporates a range of risks. Movements in risk factors, such as market price risk and currency risk, affect the fair values of financial assets and liabilities. Management’s assessment of the Company’s exposure to these risks is low.
13.2 Fair Values
The carrying values of cash, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term to maturity.
Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are not observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
The fair value of warrant liability is based on level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.
