2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

The financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation.

 

Principal of Consolidation

 

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. We consolidate variable interest entities (VIEs) when we have variable interests and are the primary beneficiary. The Company has no VIEs.

 

All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries:

Functional and Reporting Currency

 

The functional currency for each entity included in these consolidated financial statements is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“USD”). Currency conversion to USD is performed in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates reflected in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, accounting for share-based compensation, valuation of derivative liabilities, valuation of embedded conversion feature, going concern, business combination, impairment as well as depreciation method. Actual results could differ from these estimates and those differences could be material.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred substantial operating losses since its inception, expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future, and may never become profitable. As reflected in the financial statements, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $2.7 million, an accumulated deficit of approximately $60.8 million at December 31, 2024, a net loss of approximately $16.3 million, and approximately $5.3 million of net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can obtain marketing approval to sell, and then generate significant sales, of its technology that is currently in development. The Company will need to raise additional capital in order to fund its operations and to develop and commercialize its technology. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is seeking additional financing to support its growth plans. The sale of additional equity may dilute existing shareholders and newly issued shares may contain senior rights and preferences compared to currently outstanding common shares.

 

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On October 11, 2023, the Company executed a one-for-fifty reverse stock split of the Company’s common shares (the “2023 Reverse Split”). As a result of the 2023 Reverse Split, every 50 shares of the Company’s old common shares were converted into one share of the Company’s new common shares. Fractional shares resulting from the 2023 Reverse Split were rounded up to the nearest whole number. The 2023 Reverse Split automatically and proportionately adjusted all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common shares, as well as convertible debentures, convertible features, prefunded warrants, stock options and warrants outstanding at the time of the date of the 2023 Reverse Split. The exercise price on outstanding equity based-grants was proportionately increased, while the number of shares available under the Company’s equity-based plans was proportionately reduced. Share and per share data (except par value) for the periods presented reflect the effects of the 2023 Reverse Split. References to numbers of common shares and per share data in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto for periods ended prior to October 11, 2023 have been adjusted to reflect the 2023 Reverse Split on a retroactive basis.

 

On June 24, 2024, the Company received a Staff Listing Determination Letter from Nasdaq pursuant to which the Staff has determined that as of June 21, 2024, the Company’s common shares had a per share closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days (the Company’s bid price has closed at or below $0.10 per share from June 6, 2024, through June 21, 2024). Nasdaq has granted the Company an exception to comply with the bid price rule as follows:

 

1. On or before November 27, 2024, the Company shall obtain shareholders approval for a reverse stock split at a ratio that satisfies the minimum requirement in the Bid Price Rule;
2. On or before December 4, 2024, the Company shall effect a reverse stock split and, thereafter, maintain a $1 closing bid price for a minimum of ten consecutive business days;
3. On or before December 17, 2024, the Company shall have demonstrated compliance with the Bid Price Rule, by evidencing a closing bid price of $1 or more per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading sessions.

 

To meet these requirements, the Company is held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on November 25, 2024, at which the Company’s shareholders approved the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and was effective as of the commencement of trading on December 5, 2024.

 

The Company’s December 5, 2024, reverse stock split was executed as a one-for-one hundred reverse stock split of the Company’s common shares (the “2024 Reverse Split”). As a result of the 2024 Reverse Split, every 100 shares of the Company’s old common shares were converted into one share of the Company’s new common shares. Fractional shares resulting from the 2024 Reverse Split were sold at the then prevailing price on the open market, with the proceeds being distributed on a pro-rata basis to the impacted stock holders. The 2024 Reverse Split automatically and proportionately adjusted all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common shares, as well as convertible debentures, convertible features, prefunded warrants, stock options and warrants outstanding at the time of the date of the 2024 Reverse Split. The exercise price on outstanding equity based-grants was proportionately increased, while the number of shares available under the Company’s equity-based plans was proportionately reduced. Share and per share data (except par value) for the periods presented reflect the effects of the 2024 Reverse Split. References to numbers of common shares and per share data in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto for periods ended prior to December 5, 2024 have been adjusted to reflect the 2024 Reverse Split on a retroactive basis.
