FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

 

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

Effective January 16, 2019, Zenyatta Ventures Ltd. obtained TSX Venture Exchange approval to change its name to ZEN Graphene Solutions Ltd. (the "Company"). The Company was incorporated on July 29, 2008 under the laws of the province of Ontario, Canada. The principal business of the Company is to develop opportunities in the graphene and related nano-materials industry based on its unique Albany graphite. The address of the Company's executive office is 210 - 1205 Amber Drive, Thunder Bay, Ontario, P7B 6M4, Canada.

The Company is an emerging high-tech nanographite and graphene materials company based in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. The Company is currently developing an igneous-hosted, fluid-derived graphite deposit contained in two large breccia pipes. The Company's strategic focus is on graphene nanomaterials which can be converted from the Company's highly crystalline Albany graphite deposit. Graphene is a new material used for enhancing applications in various industries due to its unique combination of mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. The recovery of the amounts shown for the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration, and upon future profitable production.

The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of the carrying value of exploration properties and the Company's continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company's ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Changes in future conditions could require material write downs of the carrying values.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements, social licensing requirements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements. The Company's assets may also be subject to increases in taxes and royalties, renegotiation of contracts, and political uncertainty.

These condensed interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had continuing losses for the nine month period ended December 31, 2019. As at December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $16,378,531 (March 31, 2019 - $16,311,674) and working capital of $1,153,426 (March 31, 2019 - $819,872). The appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, future profitable operations, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing, and the ability of the Company to identify, evaluate, and negotiate an acquisition of, a participation in or an interest in properties, assets, or businesses. Management feels that additional working capital will be required from public share offerings and stock option exercises to meet the Company's liabilities and commitments as they come due. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed interim unaudited financial statements do not reflect any adjustments to amounts that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate. Such adjustments could be material.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These condensed interim financial statements 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 accounting policies followed in these condensed interim financial statements were applied on a consistent basis as those applied in the Company's audited annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019, except as noted below.

The condensed interim financial statements do not contain all disclosures required under IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited annual financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2019.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.

Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant accounts that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts include exploration and evaluation assets, share-based payments, allocation of financing proceeds and income taxes. Differences may be material.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations Adopted

IFRS 16 - Leases ("IFRS 16") was issued in January 2016 and replaces IAS 17 - Leases as well as some lease related interpretations. With certain exceptions for leases under twelve months in length or for assets of low value, IFRS 16 states that upon lease commencement a lessee recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at the amount of the liability plus any initial direct costs. After lease commencement, the lessee shall measure the right-of-use asset at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. A lessee shall either apply IFRS 16 with full retrospective effect or alternatively not restate comparative information but recognise the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 as an adjustment to opening equity at the date of initial application. IFRS 16 requires that lessors classify each lease as an operating lease or a finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Otherwise it is an operating lease. As at April 1, 2019, the Company retrospectively adopted this pronouncement and there was no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet Adopted

Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2020 or later periods. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded. The following have not yet been adopted and are being evaluated to determine their impact on the Company.

IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1") and IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors ("IAS 8") were amended in October 2018 to refine the definition of materiality and clarify its characteristics. The revised definition focuses on the idea that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020.

4. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

During the year ended March 31, 2010, the Company signed an option agreement which was subsequently superseded and replaced effective November 2, 2010 (the "Albany Agreement"), to earn an interest in the Albany Property located in Northern Ontario. Under the terms of the Albany Agreement, the Company can acquire, upon exercise of the first option, a 25% interest in the Albany Property, and upon exercise of the second option, an additional 55% interest in the Albany Property. The first option was exercised after completion of a helicopter-borne geophysical survey on the property during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and issuance of 1,000,000 units to the optionor during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, each unit being comprised of one common share and one warrant to purchase one additional common share at a price of $1.50 any time before December 23, 2015.

The second option was exercised after making certain payments totaling $140,000 and incurring aggregate expenses on the property in excess of $10,000,000.

On November 21, 2012, the Company reached an agreement with the optionor to amend the Albany Agreement and acquired the remaining 20% interest in the Albany Property (claim block 4F) bringing the Company's total interest in the property to 100%. Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, the Company and the optionor agreed to the following with respect to this agreement:

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED RISKS

The Company's operations include the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Canada. The Company examines the various financial risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of occurrence. These risks may include credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and other risks. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors. There have been no significant changes in the risks, objectives, policies and procedures for managing risks during the nine month period ended December 31, 2019.

a) Credit Risk

Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the financial benefits of contracts with a specific counterparty will be lost if a counterparty defaults on its obligations under the contract. This includes any cash amounts owed to the Company by those counterparties, less any amounts owed to the counterparty by the Company where a legal right of set-off exists and also includes the fair values of contracts with individual counterparties which are recorded in the financial statements.

i) Trade Credit Risk

The Company is in the exploration stage and has not yet commenced commercial production or sales. Therefore, the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk and overall the Company's credit risk has not changed significantly from the prior period.

b) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within the current operating period.

c) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The risk that the Company will realize a significant loss as a result of a decline in the fair market value of investments or items held within cash and cash equivalents is limited given that the majority have a relatively short maturity. The Company manages its interest rate risk with investments by investing the majority of funds in short-term investments and therefore is not exposed to significant fluctuations in interest rates. The Company believes that its interest rate risk is minimal.

d) Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. The Company is involved with a small number of foreign vendors in the United States of America. Changes in the currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar could have an effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations as the exposure has been deemed to be minimal.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED RISKS (continued)

e) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

IFRS 7 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the input to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

As at December 31, 2019, the Company does not have any financial instruments recorded at fair value and that require classification within the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values of all of the Company's financial instruments approximate their carrying values, given their short-term nature.

10. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL

The Company's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. In the management of capital, the Company monitors its adjusted capital which comprises all components of shareholders' equity. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business. The Company's capital management objectives, policies and processes have remained unchanged during the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and the year ended March 31, 2019.

The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue common shares through private placements.

The Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a lending institution or regulatory body, other than Policy 2.5 of the TSX Venture Exchange which requires adequate working capital or financial resources of the greater of (i) $50,000 and (ii) an amount required in order to maintain operations and cover general and administrative expenses for a period of 6 months.

The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

d) Other commitments

The Company has a service agreement in place with a third party service provider which has a minimum commitment due to termination clause of $36,000.

As part of previous flow-through share issuances, the Company is committed to incurring approximately $1,210,000 in qualifying exploration and evaluation expenditures on or before December 31, 2020.

e) Contingent liabilities

In September 2018, the Company received a statement of claim from a former employee. The Company is in the process of reviewing the claim and preparing its defence, but views the claim as unmeritorious.

12. LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share figures are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2019 is 77,767,687 (2018: 66,355,921). The weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 is 75,689,710 (2018: 64,997,204). Diluted loss per share figures are calculated after taking into account all warrants and stock options granted. Exercise of the outstanding warrants and stock options would be anti-dilutive with respect to loss per share calculations, and therefore diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share. The number of potentially dilutive common shares resulting from the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options that were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share was 8,418,976 (December 31, 2018: 8,242,600).
