AUSTPRO ENERGY CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2021

 

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

Lack of Dividend Policy

 

The Company does not presently intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, as any earnings are expected to be retained for use in developing and expanding its business. However, the actual amount of dividends from the Company will remain subject to the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will depend on results of operations, cash requirements and future prospects of the Company and other factors.

 

Possible Dilution to Present and Prospective Shareholders

 

The Company’s plan of operation, in part, contemplates the accomplishment of business negotiations by the issuance of cash, securities of the Company, or a combination of the two, and possibly, incurring debt. Any transaction involving the issuance of previously authorized but unissued common shares would result in dilution, possibly substantial, to present and prospective holders of common shares.

 

Dependence of Key Personnel

 

The Company strongly depends on the business and technical expertise of its management and key personnel. There is little possibility that this dependence will decrease in the near term. As the Company’s operations expand, additional general management resources will be required. These personnel will be central to the Company’s ability to locate and develop business opportunities.

 

Lack of Trading

 

The lack of trading volume of the Company’s shares reduces the liquidity of an investment in the Company’s shares.

 

Volatility of Share Price

 

Market prices for shares of companies on the NEO Exchange are often volatile. Factors such as announcements of financial results, and other factors could have a significant effect on the price of the Company’s shares.

 

PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE

 

During the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company borrowed $93,000 from The Emprise Special Opportunities Fund (2017) Limited Partnership (“Emprise LP 2017”), a significant shareholder, to fund working capital requirements through the issuance of five promissory notes (the “Notes”) (Related Party Transactions section). The Notes accrue interest at a simple rate of 12% per annum and are due on demand. The Notes are unsecured. During the year ended June 30, 2021, $41,524 in principal and accrued interest was repaid, and the Company incurred $2,284 in interest expense which was recorded within finance expense.

 

As of June 30, 2021, the total principal balance of the Notes with accrued interest is $53,760 (June 30, 2020 - $nil).

AUSTPRO ENERGY CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2021

 

The Company manages its capital structure to maximize its financial flexibility making adjustments to it in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and business opportunities. The Company does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain the future development of the business. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. As at June 30, 2021, the Company does not have any long-term debt outstanding and is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements or debt covenants. There was no change to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended June 30, 2021.

 

Prior to the Acquisition, the Company had no assets of merit and no material sources of revenue; consequently, the Company remained dependent upon the financial support of its shareholders. The Company has a history of losses and has a shareholders’ deficiency. The future success of the Company is dependent on the success of its business operation together with the ability to finance the necessary funding, at agreeable terms, to support its business. As at June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $4,430,906 (June 30, 2020 - $4,193,253).

 

The Company’s objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient liquidity in order to meet operational and investing requirements at any point in time. Prior to the Acquisition, the Company had no material revenue producing assets; consequently, the Company historically financed its operations and met its capital requirements primarily through related party debt, and the sale of share capital by way of private placements.

 

For the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company had an opening cash position of $13,864 (2020 - $102,402). During the year ended June 30, 2021, operating activities expended $192,041 of the Company’s cash as compared to $88,538 in the previous year. During the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company borrowed $93,000 from Emprise LP 2017, a significant shareholder of the Company, to fund working capital requirements through the issuance of the Notes. The Notes accrue interest at a simple rate of 12% per annum and is due on demand. The Notes are unsecured. During the year ended June 30, 2021, $41,524 in principle and accrued interest was repaid. As of June 30, 2021, the total principal balance of the Notes with accrued interest is $53,760 (June 30, 2020 - $nil).

 

In October 2020, the Company completed the Placement and issued 126,046 Units of the Company. The capital raised was used to pay down debt of the Company.

 

As a result of the above cash flow activities, at June 30, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $5,299 (June 30, 2020: $13,864).

 

Despite the influx of capital subsequent to June 30, 2021 (Description of Company section), management believes additional funds will need to be raised in order to fund the Company for the next 12 months and to fund any identified business acquisition. Consequently, the Company is currently exposed to a significant level of liquidity risk as at June 30, 2021.

AUSTPRO ENERGY CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2021

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than a process of forced liquidation. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

As at October 26, 2021, the Company had: 74,791,163 outstanding common shares; 2,794,720 stock options outstanding; 8,770,904 share purchase warrants outstanding; and 1,667,500 RSUs outstanding. In addition, the Company has granted the underwriters of the October 26, 2021 financing an option to purchase an additional 2,565,000 units of the Company at a price of $1.95 per unit, exercisable for a period of seven days from October 26, 2021.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, GST receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and promissory notes payable. Cash and GST receivable are classified as amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and promissory notes payable are classified as amortized cost. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values because of their short- term nature.

 

Financial Risk Factors

 

The Company’s risk exposure and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

 

I.Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations. 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 a cash balance of $5,299 (June 30, 2020 - $13,864) to settle current liabilities of $194,887 (June 30, 2020 - $86,735). All the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. As at June 30, 2021, the Company has no sources of revenue to fund its operating expenditures or fund any identified business acquisition and as such will likely require additional financing to accomplish the Company’s long-term strategic objectives. Future funding may be obtained by means of issuing share capital, or debt financing. If the Company is unable to continue to finance itself through these means, it is possible that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern as disclosed in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section.

 

However, despite the influx of capital subsequent to June 30, 2021 (Description of the Company section), management believes additional funds will need to be raised in order to fund the Company for the next 12 months and to fund any identified business acquisition. Consequently, the Company is currently exposed to a significant level of liquidity risk as at June 30, 2021.

II.Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will not fulfill some or all of its obligations, thereby causing the Company to sustain a financial loss. As at June 30, 2021, the Company had $27,419 (June 30, 2020 - $16,355) in GST receivable due from the Government of Canada and as such the Company considers its credit risk to be low.

 

III.Market risks

 

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity prices.

 

i.Interest rate risk

 

The Company considers it to have minimal exposure to interest rate risk as it has no interest-bearing investments, or debt with variable interest rates.

 

ii.Currency risk

 

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. As at June 30, 2021, the Company holds no financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollars. As at June 30, 2021, the Company is not exposed to currency risk.

 

iii.Price risk

 

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. The Company closely monitors individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGMENTS

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected. Uncertainty about these estimates, assumptions and judgments could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities in future years. Information about critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments are detailed in Note 3(a) of the Financial Statements.
