PLYMOUTH ROCK TECHNOLOGIES INC.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As at and for the period ended February 28, 2023
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

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 700 - 1199 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, B.C., V6E 3T5.

The Company's common shares are listed on the CSE and on Frankfurt Stock Exchange in Germany under the Symbol: PRT and 4XA, respectively, WKN# - A2N8RH. The Company's common shares are also on the OTC Markets Group ("OTCQB") under the symbol: PLRTF.

The Company's principal business activity through its subsidiary, Plymouth Rock USA ("PRT USA"), 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 with and without the need for a checkpoint of the suspect who is being screened. The Company's planned products encompass the very latest radar, imaging, and Unmanned Aerial System ("UAS") technologies for quickly detecting, locating and identifying the presence of threats and for search and rescue missions for law enforcement.

On March 26, 2021, the Company incorporated a subsidiary in United Kingdom, Plymouth Rock Technologies UK Limited ("PRT UK"). The purpose of PRT UK is to augment the Company's existing research and development of its drone technologies for the US and EMEA markets.

On June 4, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of Tetra Drones Limited ("Tetra") (Note 3). The acquisition of Tetra provides the Company with drones production line in the United Kingdom.

Going Concern

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates 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 business.  At present, the Company's operations do not generate cash flows from operations. The Company has incurred losses since inception and has a comprehensive loss of $70,596 for the period ended February 28, 2023 (2022 - $725,060; 2021 - $1,283,400) and had an accumulated deficit of $16,638,589 (2022 - $16,535,760).  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 and uncertainty casts significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. 

The Company is not expected to be profitable during the ensuing 12 months, and therefore, must rely on securing additional funds from either issuance of debt or equity financing for cash consideration. During the period ended February 28, 2023, the Company received net cash proceeds of $594 (2022 - spent $11,586; 2020 - received $2,141,685) 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, or certainty that management's planned actions to address this situation will be successful.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As at and for the period ended February 28, 2023
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN (continued)

Going Concern (continued)

These interim condensed 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 interim condensed 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.

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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended February 28, 2023. 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, 2022, which are available on www.sedar.com.

These Financial Statements are authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on April 24, 2023.

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 PRT USA is U.S. Dollars and the functional currency of PRT UK and Tetra is British Pound Sterling ("£"). The assets and liabilities of PRT USA, PRT UK and Tetra 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.

Significant estimates used in preparing the Financial Statements include, but are not limited to the following:

a. 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 returns have not been prepared as of the date of financial statement preparation.

As at and for the period ended February 28, 2023
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (continued)

b. Stock-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.

c. 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.

d. Leases

Management uses estimation in determining the incremental borrowing rate used to measure the lease liability, specific to the asset, underlying currency and geographic location.

Significant judgments used in the preparation of these Financial Statements include, but are not limited to the following:

(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 year ended November 30, 2022. 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 accounts for 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 3 met the criteria for accounting as a business combination.

Cash

Cash consists of amounts held in banks and highly liquid investments with limited interest and credit risk.

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.

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

Vehicles                              30% declining balance

Furniture                      20% declining balance

Leasehold improvements   30% declining balance

Demo equipment         20% declining balance

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Inventories

The Company values inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes the costs of purchases net of vendor allowances plus other costs, such as transportation, that are directly incurred to bring the inventories to their present location and condition.

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 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.

Stock-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 accounts for 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, the contributed surplus will be reduced by the applicable amount. Share-based payment calculations have no effect in the Company's cash position.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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, and accounts receivable.

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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Financial liabilities (continued)

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, lease liability, and due to related parties.

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.

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.   

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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Deferred revenue

The Company recognizes a deferred revenue when the customers pay in advance for the goods or services to be delivered in future periods. Revenue will be recognized in the future period when the goods and services are provided and in accordance with IFRS 15.

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 recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes 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.

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.

Leases

The Company adopted IFRS 16 effective December 1, 2019. The Company chose to adopt the modified retrospective approach on transition to IFRS 16 and has chosen not to restate comparative information in accordance with the transitional provisions in IFRS 16. As a result, the comparative information continues to be presented in accordance with the Company's previous accounting policies. The adoption of IFRS 16 resulted in the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability measured at the present value of the future lease payments on the interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position. An amortization expense on the right-of-use asset and an interest expense on the lease liability has replaced the operating lease expense. IFRS 16 has changed the presentation of cash flows relating to leases in the Company's interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, however, it does not cause a difference in the amount of cash transferred between the parties of the lease.

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 period 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") - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Noncurrent were amended to clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on rights that are in

existence at the end of the reporting period, specify that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability, explain that rights are in existence if covenants are complied with at the end of the reporting period, and introduce a definition of 'settlement' to make clear that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Earlier adoption is permitted.

IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment - Proceeds before Intended Use - The amendments prohibit deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced before that asset is available for use, i.e. proceeds while bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Consequently, an entity recognizes such sales proceeds and related costs in profit or loss. The entity measures the cost of those items in accordance with IAS 2 Inventories. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. Earlier adoption is permitted.

These new and amended standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Financial Statements

3. ACQUISITION

On June 4, 2021, the Company acquired the 100% issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Tetra from two arm's length parties for £350,000.  Tetra was a privately held UK-based company which develops custom-made, Unmanned Aircraft Systems ("UAS").  The consideration of £350,000 ($579,682) is payable as follows:

1) An amount of £35,000 ($60,021) within 7 days after the execution and delivery of the definitive agreement by all parties, paid on June 12, 2021;

2) An amount of £35,000 ($60,479) (paid) within 21 days of the initial payment as described in instalment 1 above, paid on July 9, 2021;

3) An amount of £140,000 ($236,411) (paid) within 120 days of the second instalment as described above, paid on November 8, 2021 ("the third payment"); and

4) The remaining balance of £140,000 ($222,771) within 120 days of the third payment, forgiven in return of the full release of the leased vehicle and allowing the former sole shareholder of Tetra to continue working within the industry.

The Company applied the optional concentration test permitted under IFRS 3 to the acquisition which resulted in the acquired assets being accounted for as an asset acquisition. As such the purchase price was allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities based on their fair values at the date of acquisition.

For the period ended February 28, 2023, the current loan payable of $139,373 consisted of: a loan payable on demand with a principal amount of $75,000 plus 12% interest rate per annum totaling $6,238; a loan with a principal amount of $30,000 plus 10% interest rate per annum and a $3,000 interest as they are considered in default totaling $18,000; and loans with a term of 1 year with principal amounts totaling $10,000 plus 10% interest rate per annum totaling $135.

Upon acquisition of Tetra Drones (Note 3), the Company assumed the latter's outstanding loan of £13,253 ($21,461) as of November 30, 2022. The collateral of this loan is a vehicle. On October 25, 2022, the loan and the vehicle were released to former shareholder of Tetra Drones in exchange of forgoing the remaining acquisition cost of £140,000 ($222,771).

13. 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 February 28, 2023 and November 30, 2022, the fair value of the cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and due from related parties approximate the book value due to the short-term nature.

13. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

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 are 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.

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, leases, due from related parties and accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are denominated in US dollars. 10% fluctuations in the US dollar and UK Sterling Pound against the Canadian dollar have affected comprehensive loss for the period by approximately $143,262 (2022 - $7,464 and 2021 - $26,633).

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
700 - 1199 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, B.C., V6E 3T5. 

The Company's common shares are listed on the CSE under the symbol "PRT", on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the Symbol: 4XA, WKN# - A2N8RH and on the OTC Markets Group ("OTCQB") under the symbol: PLRTF.

The Company's principal business activity through its subsidiary, Plymouth Rock USA ("PRT USA") is 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 with and without the need for a checkpoint of the suspect who is being screened. The Company's planned products encompass the very latest radar, imaging, and Unmanned Aerial System ("UAS") technologies for quickly detecting, locating and identifying the presence of threats and for search and rescue missions for law enforcement.

On January 28, 2021, the Company supplied its first Unmanned Aerial Vehicle ("UAV") to the United Nations ("UN") as part of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia ("UNSOM") under the United Nations Environment Program ("UNEP") for a tree-reseeding mission (See DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGIES).

On February 10, 2021, during UNSOM, a PRT drone broke the existing beyond visual line of sight ("BVLOS") drone delivery record, and also is believed to have set an additional new record for complete 'round trip' autonomous delivery capability. UN observers and aviation officials that monitor scheduled UN flights have agreed to supply the recorded flight data and witness statements required for the official recognition by adjudicators of Guinness World Records. To date the Company had not received this recognition.

On March 26, 2021, the Company incorporated a subsidiary in United Kingdom, Plymouth Rock Technologies UK Limited ("PRT UK"). The purpose of PRT UK is to augment the Company's existing research and development ("R&D") of the X-1 and X-V for the US and EMEA markets. Many of the UK consultants of the Company have since become direct employees as the Company expands its operations globally.


Effective February 1, 2021, Dr. Gianluca De Novi was appointed to VP of Engineering. Dr. De Novi is a Harvard Faculty member, Director of the Medical Device and Simulation Laboratory at the Imaging Department of the Massachusetts General Brigham Hospital and CEO at X-Surgical Robotics.

On February 9, 2022, the Company secured a contract for Large, Long-range Unmanned Aircraft Systems to be used for BVLOS operations. The end use for the aircraft is for long range natural resource monitoring. Initial deliveries took place in April 2022. The UAS were based on the PRT XV-L platform, with several 'client-specified' modifications. These large all-environment UAS were designed to be deployed for land and maritime operations at BVLOS distances, capable of operating for up to 7 hours. These were installed with the latest SATCOM (Satellite Communication) technologies, alongside enhanced military grade COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing) communications technologies for secure, high-quality data feeds for sub sixty-mile communication scenarios. The total value for this order was £175,454.58 ($301,430.97) with an additional 20% in VAT, bringing the total to £ 210,545.50 ($361,717.17). Final payment for the order was received on April 12, 2022.

On February 16, 2022, Plymouth Rock received an order for an UAS for BVLOS operations. The purpose of this was to acquire a UAS for assessment in conjunction with The UK National Police Air Service (NPAS), which provides air support to 46 police forces, who are leading the Home Office funded research to "better understand the capabilities that Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drones may provide to police aviation in the future". The total value for this order was £49,500.00 ($85,269), with an additional 20% in VAT, bringing the total to £59,400.00 ($102,322). Full payment for the order was received by the company on April 4, 2022. The XV-H remains a PRT asset and remains at the Company's Norfolk facility, of which Norfolk Constabulary have access to in order to perform assessments as and when required.

On February 22, 2022 Plymouth was awarded a cooperative research and development agreement ("CRADA") for its SS1 Shoe Scanner system by the US department of homeland security. A CRADA is a written agreement that facilitates R&D collaboration between one or more federal laboratories and one or more non-federal entities.

On March 8, 2022, Plymouth joined the Naval Aviation Systems Consortium ("NASC").

MiRIAD -Millimeter Remote Imaging from Airborne Drone Updates

MiRIAD is a prototype compact sensor package that is specifically designed for use on UAS. The sensor is being designed to support a variety of functions, from the primary function of detecting assault weapons and person-borne improvised explosive devices, alongside a whole spectrum of other uses, such as detecting breaks in power cables, solar farm efficiencies, structure degradation and external corrosion. The sensor uses completely passive techniques, which means there are no emissions and therefore no regulatory issues.


MiRIAD uses a unique ultra-lightweight antenna to capture radar images of target subjects within a wide field of view. The captured radar image data, along with high resolution video is then backhauled wirelessly over a high-capacity data link to a central processing center for data analysis. Using algorithm based digital signal processing techniques the radar signature is analyzed and overlaid onto the video imagery to display a real time image of the video capture that includes an indication of any concealed threat item. The technology uses both artificial intelligence and augmented reality techniques to positively identify a threat and its exact location on subjects within its field of view. Multiple MiRIAD equipped UAVs can be supported by a single data processing facility to cover large areas.

MiRIAD's primary intended applications are outdoor public event crowd screening, special police and security service operations, and forward operating base protection. Other planned applications include remote infrastructure inspection and analysis; oil and gas pipeline inspection, and search and rescue (land and sea).

On August 31, 2020, the Company announced that it had produced definitive images of infrastructure corrosion utilizing its prototype MiRIAD Sensor system. This will provide a new and more importantly, low-cost capability for detecting civil and military aircraft fatigue, tanker and naval vessel corrosion, pipeline safety for oil and gas installations and infrastructure/bridge fatigue.  The Company also believes that safe, passive detection will ultimately be applied to medical skin analysis for burns and next generation walk through.

In Q1 2021 the Company updated the design of the MiRIAD sensors with digital signal processors to process the image data received from the sensors.

Due to funding issues from late 2021 until the current period ended February 28, 2023 the MiRIAD sensor development was put on hold. Management believes there is value to complete the product development when funding becomes available.

Wi-Ti Updates

Wi-Ti is a wall or portal mounted sensor system that will detect concealed threat items over an extended coverage area. It is ideal for covertly screening unstructured crowds to widen the security perimeter in public places.

The past four years have seen significant advances in the monitoring of Wi-Fi radio wave analysis. This includes Wi-Fi used to track and trace the movements of people in real time through walls. Similar techniques have used Wi-Fi radio waves to detect subtle changes in breathing and heart rates. The Company's Wi-Ti technology advances that analysis to concealed threat detection. Unlike other emerging screening technologies, Wi-Ti can be used in airport concourse areas, stadiums, and open spaces at stand-off distances. Our unique radar imaging and signal processing technology allows for non-intrusive screening of crowds in real time. Further, with Wi-Ti, there are no radio emissions, so this method of detection can be freely used in any Wi-Fi enabled environment without special license or regulatory approval.

On February 19, 2019, the Company signed a memorandum of understanding with Abicom International, a Qualcomm authorized design partner, to assist in the continued development of the Wi-Ti system and prototype. Abicom International has worked with many prominent security and technology companies, including Bosch Security, Siemens Transportation, QinetiQ, Harris Systems and Northern Light Technologies. Abicom International's status as a Qualcomm design center is an assurance of excellence that is granted to less than eleven companies globally". The partnership between Plymouth Rock and Abicom International is about the drive to continuously expand the realm of possibilities for Wi-Fi based technologies.


During December 2020, the Company prepared and filed a trademark application for the mark Wi-Ti Class 009 - System for detecting threats, such as concealed weaponry, within a Wi-Fi enabled environment and electronic filing of the same with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office).

Due to other priorities, the Wi-Ti R&D has been put on hold until funding is available.

Shoe Scanner - SS1 Footwear Imaging Radar Technology

The SS1 is a floor-mounted 3D imaging system that uses harmless millimeter-wave imaging techniques to inspect footwear to determine if it has been altered or is being used to transport concealed items, such as weaponry, substances, compounds or electronic items. The SS1 can be used at security and identification checkpoints to eliminate the need for footwear removal, streamlining the security screening process and reducing bottle necks.

The Shoe Scanner allows for the rapid screening of footwear without necessitating removal of shoes. With a screening time of 30 persons per minute the Millimeter Wave Shoe Scanner is ideal for airport terminals, prisons/correctional facilities, public events and other high throughput, screening applications.

On March 12, 2019, Manchester Metropolitan University assigned the Millimeter Wave Shoe Scanning technology IP to the Company for the consideration of $30,000. The Millimeter Wave Shoe Scanner is a floor-mounted 3D imaging system that uses harmless millimeter-wave imaging techniques to inspect footwear. The scanner is then able to identify if the footwear has been altered or is being used to transport concealed items, such as weaponry, substances, compounds, or electronic items. As of October 8, 2019, the IP and patent transfer for this technology was completed.

On October 29, 2020 the Company received a "Notice of Allowance" by the US Patent and Trademark Office of patent application No. 16/560,480 for the "Method and System for Determining Dielectric Properties of an Object". The invention uses millimeter wave ("MMW") shoe-scanning technologies for fast, contactless screening of passengers' footwear in highly secure environments such as airports, prisons, border points of entry and government buildings On February 16, 2021 the Company was granted US Patent No.: 10,921,428 B1.

On February 22, 2022 Plymouth been awarded a CRADA for its SS1 Shoe Scanner system by the US department of homeland security. A CRADA is a written agreement that facilitates R&D collaboration between one or more federal laboratories and one or more non-federal entities.

Due to other priorities, the Shoe Scanner has been put on hold until funding is available.

Mobile Reconfigurable Distributed Aperture Systems and Methods for Remote Sensing

On February 24, 2022 the Company began the process of applying for a patent. (Application No.: 17174637). This patent application relates to synthetic aperture radars and distributed aperture systems referred to as DAS. These DAS can be mounted on UAS. A DAS or DDAS (Drone Distributed Aperture Systems) may be utilized to create a synthetic aperture for transmission or reception of any or both electromagnetic and acoustic waves by reconfigurable formation of an array of transceivers. For example, a DDAS may include individual transceivers or small arrays of transceivers being mounted onto individual drones.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022

During the period ended February 28, 2023, the Company had a comprehensive loss of $70,596 compared to a comprehensive loss of $725,060 for the period ended February 28, 2022. The decrease in comprehensive losses were primarily driven by the following:

  • Sales during the period ended February 28, 2023 amounted to $245,094 (February 28, 2022 - $164,248) with gross profit of $230,075 (February 28, 2022 - $140,604) resulting in a gross margin of 94% (November 30, 2021 - 86%). The Company's sales for the period include waveguide components and sale of services for drone builds. The increase in gross margin resulted from lower cost of sales relating to improving product yields by creating new process control documentation and by the higher gross margins of the newly acquired subsidiary stemming from efficient processes and economies of scale.
  • Accounting and audit fees of $42,271 (February 28, 2022 - $52,558). The amount decreased in the current period due to a lower cost charged by new auditors for in 2022 year end financial audit which spilled over through the first two quarters of the year.
  • Amortization in the amount of $8,905 (February 28, 2022 - $66,626) decreased due to the impairment of customer relationship acquired from Tetra Drones, and termination of right-of-use asset due to the cancellation of Company's leased premises. 
  • Selling expenses of $1,033 (February 28, 2022 - $85,713) decreased due to less or not much business development initiatives for the period ended February 28, 2023.
  • Consulting fees of $95,672 (February 28, 2022 - $80,131) increased during the period due to timing recognizing and recording of consultant fees incurred in 2022. Moreover, UK subsidiary has additional consultancy expenses incurred for the design and build of aircraft for the current period.
  • Consulting fees related to research and development of $205 (February 28, 2022 - $148,403) decreased mainly due to general administrative this period.
  • General office expenses of $27,973 (February 28, 2022 - $44,390) were slightly lower as a result of fewer activities during this period.

  • Legal fees of $4,689 (February 28, 2022 - $30,316) decreased as in previous period due to the decline in legal fees relating to the acquisition of Tetra Drones, the absence of the set-up fees for the new subsidiary in the UK partially offset by fees relating to the MCTO and other legal consultations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's approach to managing its liquidity is to ensure that it has sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they come due and have sufficient working capital to fund operations for the ensuing fiscal year. Financing of operations has been achieved solely by equity financing. The Company anticipates that it will require significant funds from either equity or debt financing for the development of its technologies and to support general administrative expenses.


As at February 28, 2023, the Company had $69,182 in current assets (November 30, 2022 - $62,202) and $2,128,262 in current liabilities (November 30, 2022 - $2,087,875) for a working capital deficit of $2,059,080 compared to a working updated deficit of $2,025,673 as at November 30, 2022. The increase in working capital deficit is mostly driven by the operating cash outflows and the increase in accounts payable and amounts due to related parties.

As at February 28, 2023, the Company had a share capital balance of $11,851,771 (November 30, 2022 - $11,851,771) and an accumulated deficit of $16,638,589 (November 30, 2022 - $16,535,760).  There wasn't any movement in share capital during the quarter.

Financing of operations has been achieved solely by sales loans and equity financing. However, the Company expects to generate profitable revenue in the coming years with adequate investment to support adding experienced manufacturing personnel and capital equipment. Currently the Company is primarily reliant upon the sale of equity securities, loans and some product sales in order to fund future operations. Since inception, the Company has funded limited operations through the issuance of equity securities on a private placement basis.  The Company's ability to raise funds through the issuance of equity will depend on economic, market and commodity prices at the time of financing. 


The Company expects to generate similar losses quarter over quarter for the next fiscal year in relation to the Company's development, administration and promotion of its technologies.  As of report date, management anticipates that the funds raised to date will be sufficient to sustain operations and the development of the Companies technologies for the next fiscal year.

Cash balances increased by a total of $10,918 during the period ended February 28, 2023 (February 28, 2022- decreased by $322,029).  This period, the cash increased due mainly to the upward movement of sale.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

All significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates are fully disclosed in Note 2 of the Financial Statements for the period ended February 28, 2023 that are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

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 for the period ended February 28, 2023, and November 30, 2022, the fair value of the cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and due 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.  As at February 28, 2023, the Company has cash balance of $22,673 (November 30, 2022 - $ 13,127) to settle current liabilities of $2,128,262 (November 30, 2022 - $2,087,875).  The Company's future financial success will be dependent upon the ability to monetize its technologies or obtain necessary financing to meet its contractual obligations.

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.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a loss to a counterparty to a financial instrument when it 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 period by approximately $143,262 (2022 - $7,464 and 2021 - $26,633).

CAPITAL STOCK

The authorized capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value. As at February 28, 2023 and report date, the following table summarizes the outstanding share capital, stock options, and share purchase warrants of the Company:

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

The Company believes that the following risks and uncertainties may materially affect its success.

Limited Operating History

The Company has only started generating revenues in the prior year.  The Company was incorporated on October 17, 2011 and has yet to generate a profit from its activities.  The Company is subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business enterprise, including the risk that it will not achieve its growth objective.  The Company anticipates that it may take several years to achieve positive cash flow from operations.

Substantial Capital Requirements and Liquidity

Substantial additional funds for the establishment of the Company's current and planned operations will be required.  No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to raise the additional funding that may be required for such activities, should such funding not be fully generated from operations. Revenues, taxes, transportation costs, capital expenditures, operating expenses and development costs are all factors which will have an impact on the amount of additional capital that may be required.  To meet such funding requirements, the Company may be required to undertake additional equity financing, which would be dilutive to shareholders.  Debt financing, if available, may also involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.  There is no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.  If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations or anticipated expansion and pursue only those development plans that can be funded through cash flows generated from its existing operations.

Regulatory Requirements

The current or future operations of the Company require permits from various governmental authorities, and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing development, production, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, site safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that all permits which the Company may require for the facilities and conduct of operations will be obtainable on reasonable terms or that such laws and regulation would not have an adverse effect on any development project which the Company might undertake.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions.  Parties engaged in operations may be required to compensate those suffering losses or damages and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed upon them for violation of applicable laws or regulations. Amendments to current laws, regulation and permits governing operations and activities of companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures or development costs or require abandonment or delays in the development of new projects.


Financing Risks and Dilution to Shareholders

The Company will have limited financial resources, no operations and hardly have revenues. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be available on favorable terms or at all.  It is likely such additional capital will be raised through the issuance of additional equity, which will result in dilution to the Company's shareholders.

Competition

There is competition within the security screening and threat detection market. The Company will compete with other companies, many of which have greater financial, technical and other resources than the Company, as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and other personnel.

Intellectual Property

The Company has developed security screening technologies that are adequate to counter various threats. The Company may be unable to prevent competitors from independently developing or selling products similar to or duplicate of the Company, and there can be no assurance that the resources invested by the Company to protect the Intellectual Property will be sufficient. The Company may be unable to secure or retain ownership or rights. In addition, the Company may be the target of aggressive and opportunistic enforcement of patents by third parties, including non-practicing entities. Regardless of the merit of such claims, responding to infringement claims can be expensive and time-consuming. If the Company is found to infringe any third-party rights, it could be required to pay substantial damages, or it could be enjoined from offering some of products and services. Also, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain or renew from third parties the licenses it needs in the future, and there is no assurance that such licenses can be obtained on reasonable terms.

Reliance on Management and Dependence on Key Personnel

The success of the Company will be largely dependent upon the performance of the directors and officers and the ability to attract and retain key personnel.  The loss of the services of these persons may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and prospects.  The Company will compete with numerous other companies for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and contractors. There is no assurance that the Company can maintain the service of its directors and officers, or other qualified personnel required to operate its business.  Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its prospects.

Governmental Regulations and Processing Licenses and Permits

The activities of the Company are subject to various government approvals, various laws governing prospecting, development, land resumptions, production taxes, labor standards and occupational health, toxic substances, and other matters.  Although the Company believes that its activities are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, no assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner, which could limit or curtail production or development. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the business, operations and financial performance of the Company. Further, the licenses and permits issued in respect of its projects may be subject to conditions that, if not satisfied, may lead to the revocation of such licenses.


Conflicts of Interest

Certain of the directors and officers of the Company will be engaged in, and will continue to engage in, other business activities on their own behalf and on behalf of other companies and, as a result of these and other activities, such directors and officers of the Company may become subject to conflicts of interest. The British Columbia Business Corporations Act ("BCBCA") provides that in the event that a director has a material interest in a contract or proposed contract or agreement that is material to the issuer, the director must disclose his interest in such contract or agreement and refrain from voting on any matter in respect of such contract or agreement, subject to and in accordance with the BCBCA.  To the extent that conflicts of interest arise, such conflicts will be resolved in accordance with the provisions of the BCBCA.

Litigation

The Company and/or its directors may be subject to a variety of civil or other legal proceedings, with or without merit.

Public Health Crisis

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. This will impact demand for the Company's products and services and its ability to continue developing and testing their technologies in the near term and will impact the Company's supply chains. It may also impact expected credit losses on the Company's receivables. 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. The management is closely evaluating the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business.

As certain of the Company's officers have other outside business activities and, thus, may not be in a position to devote all of their professional time to the Company, the Company's operations may be sporadic, which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This MD&A may include certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities legislation. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this MD&A that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as future business strategies competitive strengths, goals, expansion and growth of the Company's businesses, operations, plans and other such matters are forward-looking statements. When used in this MD&A, the words "estimate", "plan", "anticipate", "expect", ''intend'', "believe" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, risks that actual results of current exploration activities will differ, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, unavailability of financing, fluctuations in precious and/or base metals prices and other factors, as outlined in the Company's preliminary long form prospectus filed on SEDAR. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.


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 makes adjustments to 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.

DIRECTORS

Certain directors of the Company are also directors, officers and/or shareholders of other companies that may be engaged in the similar business of developing technologies. Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. The directors of the Company are required to act in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and to disclose any interest they may have in any project opportunity of the Company. If a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the board of directors, any director in a conflict will disclose his/her interest and abstain from voting in the matter(s). In determining whether or not the Company will participate in any project or opportunity, the directors will primarily consider the degree of risk to which the Company may be exposed and its financial position at the time.

OUTLOOK

The Company's objective is to maximize the value of the Company for our shareholders, and our strategy to obtain this result is to focus on project evaluations and project generation. To proceed with this strategy, additional financings may be required during the current fiscal year.

The company is currently at the inflection point of moving from design/development of prototypes to Low-Rate-Initial-Production (LRIP). Commercializing the products is a major step in the companies' strategic growth. With the pandemic being on the downturn, this will allow the company to spend appreciably more of its resources to meet with customers directly and start to attend trade shows in person. The marketing spend will also increase to accommodate this growth and sales strategy.

The company believes that an increase in revenue will occur in the next 6-12 months due to the forecasted sales pipeline and successful demonstration of the various products.
