DUESENBERG TECHNOLOGIES INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JULY 31, 2021

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Nature of Operations

On November 1, 2019, Duesenberg Technologies Inc. (formerly, VGrab Communication Inc.) (the “Company”) incorporated Duesenberg Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Duesenberg Nevada”), with a purpose to undertake the development of Electric Vehicles (“EV”) using the Duesenberg brand and its VGrab Technology and applications based on the VGrab technology.

 

On May 21, 2021, the Company incorporated Duesenberg Heritage LLC, a Nevada corporation (the “Duesenberg Heritage”), with a purpose to reproduce very limited Duesenberg Heritage vehicles which were originally manufactured in the 1920s and 1930s; such as the Duesenberg Model J and Boat Tail series.

 

On December 23, 2020, the Company changed its name to Duesenberg Technologies Inc. (the “Name Change”). To effect the Name Change, the Company filed a Notice of Alteration with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies. On December 30, 2020, the Company’s common shares commenced trading on the OTC Markets under the new ticker symbol DUSYF.

 

As of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has the following subsidiaries:

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2020, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on January 29, 2021. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with those financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2020, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended July 31, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 2021.

 

Going Concern

The Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with GAAP which contemplate the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. To date the Company has generated a total of $48,358 in revenue from its operating activities and has accumulated losses of $9,106,307 since inception. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due and ultimately upon its ability to achieve profitable operations. To date the Company has funded its operations through the issuance of capital stock and debt. Management plans to continue raising additional funds through equity and/or debt financing. The outcome


F-5


of these efforts cannot be predicted with any certainty and raises substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Uncertainty due to Global Outbreak of Covid-19

In March of 2020, the World Health Organization declared an outbreak of COVID-19 Global pandemic. The COVID-19 has impacted vast array of businesses through the restrictions put in place by most governments internationally, including the federal, provincial, and municipal governments, regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company and its operations is unknown and will greatly depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place world-wide to fight the virus. While the extent of the impact is unknown, the COVID-19 outbreak may hinder the Company’s ability to raise financing for its research and development initiatives or operating costs due to uncertain capital markets, supply chain disruptions, increased government regulations and other unanticipated factors, all of which may also negatively impact the Company’s business and financial condition.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by Duesenberg Technologies Inc. contains forward-looking statements. These are statements regarding financial and operating performance and results and other statements that are not historical facts. Words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements.  Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

·our ability to execute prospective business plans; 

·inexperience in developing and mass-producing electric vehicles; 

·actions by government authorities, including changes in government regulation; 

·changes in the electric vehicle market; 

·dependency on certain key personnel and any inability to retain and attract qualified personnel; 

·developments in alternative technologies or improvements in the internal combustion engine; 

·disruption of supply or shortage of raw materials; 

·failure of our conceptual vehicles to perform as expected; 

·failure to manage future growth effectively; 

·future decisions by management in response to changing conditions; 

·inability to design, develop, market and sell electric vehicles and services that address additional market opportunities; 

·inability to keep up with advances in electric vehicle technology; 

·inability to reduce and adequately control operating costs; 

·inability to succeed in maintaining and strengthening the Duesenberg brand; 

·labor and employment risks; 

·misjudgments in the course of preparing forward-looking statements; 

·our ability to raise sufficient funds to carry out our proposed business plan; 

·the unavailability, reduction or elimination of government and economic incentives; 

·uncertainties associated with legal proceedings; 

·general economic conditions, because they may affect our ability to raise money; 

·our ability to raise enough money to continue our operations; 

·changes in regulatory requirements that adversely affect our business; and 

·other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. 

 

While we consider these assumptions as reasonable, based on information currently available to us, these assumptions may prove to be incorrect. Actual results may vary from such forward-looking information for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to risks and uncertainties disclosed in the section titled “Part II - Item 1A - Risk Factors.”

 

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. Except as required by applicable securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this quarterly report. You should refer to and carefully review the information in future documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place world-wide to fight the virus. While the extent of the impact is unknown, the COVID-19 outbreak may hinder the Company’s ability to raise financing for its research and development initiatives or operating costs due to uncertain capital markets, supply chain disruptions, increased government regulations and other unanticipated factors, all of which may also negatively impact the Company’s business and financial condition.

We were incorporated on August 4, 2010, under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name “SOS Link Corporation”.

On June 24, 2015, we formed a subsidiary, VGrab International Ltd., (“VGrab International”) under the Labuan Companies Act 1990 in Federal Territory of Labuan, Malaysia. The initial focus of the VGrab International was to continue development of the VGrab Application, which we acquired in our fiscal 2016 year and continue its market penetration in Southeast Asia.  The VGrab Application is a free mobile voucher application developed for smartphones using the Android and Apple iOS operating systems and allows users to redeem vouchers on their smartphones at a number of retailers and merchants. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, VGrab International is being wound down as all the business operations were moved to Duesenberg Malaysia Sdn Bhd., which we incorporated on May 17, 2018, under the Malaysia Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia (“Duesenberg Malaysia”). The main business objective of Duesenberg Malaysia is to facilitate online promotions, advertising and e-commerce.

 

Since its incorporation, Duesenberg Malaysia has been working on the development of its SMART System prototype. VGrab’s new SMART System will consist of several modules, including VGrab Memberships system, which will allow its users to sign up via internet or quick response code, also known as “QR Code”, VGrab Cloud Management System (“VCMS”), and VGrab Database Management System (“VDMS”). VCMS and VDMS will form the backbone of VGrab’s SMART System, integrating each future developed VGrab SMART System’s module into the platform. The Company is currently testing the development of the VGrab SMART System before deployment to potential clients.

 

On February 18, 2019, we formed another subsidiary, VGrab Asia Limited, which we renamed to Duesenberg Technologies Evolution Ltd (“Duesenberg Evolution”). The main business objective of Duesenberg Evolution is to facilitate online promotions, advertising and e-commerce to its potential customer base in P.R. China.

In March of 2020 we completed development of the prototype VGrab vending machine (the “Vending Machine”) and were attempting to organize the first test run before starting a large-scale production and commercialization of the Vending Machines. Prior to COVID-19 measures,  we were expecting to have the first prototype of the Vending Machine installed and operational at a local university by the end of April 2020 with further units to be placed across the university’s campus and other universities across Malaysia. However, due to COVID-19 measures, we were required to postpone the roll-out until the restrictions set to prevent the spread of the virus are lifted and businesses are allowed to resume their normal operations.

 

The newly developed Vending Machine is customizable to sell variety of consumer products ranging from traditional snacks, soft drinks, and coffee, to prepaid mobile cards and other goods, while simultaneously displaying advertisements and other various promotional content. Each Vending Machine is based on the  operating system developed by us, and is supplied with a credit card reader and a QR Code reader, which facilitate not only payments with credit cards, but also enables payments via eWallet and other membership-based payments.

 

On November 1, 2019, we incorporated Duesenberg Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Duesenberg NV”). The purpose of Duesenberg NV is to undertake the development of Electric Vehicle (“Duesenberg EV”) using the Duesenberg brand. We acquired the rights to use the Duesenberg name in 2018. We are planning to develop the Duesenberg EV in partnerships with leading developers and suppliers for various components into the vehicle, and also include our in-house developed VGrab SMART System as part of its operating system.

 

On January 8, 2021, Duesenberg NV signed an agreement with Rocket Supreme, the Barcelona, Spain automotive design house established by Christopher Reitz. The agreement is the first step towards creating a network of suppliers required to successfully complete the Duesenberg EV development project. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have received initial ergonomics exterior and interior data sheets and CAS IGES files as well as the initial drafts of the exterior and interior designs for the Duesenberg EV. We expect the final design of the first Duesenberg EV to be released in mid to late 2022. Based on the initial drafts, we commenced negotiations with various manufacturers required to continue the development and manufacturing of the required components for the Duesenberg’s EV.

 

On May 21, 2021, we formed Duesenberg Heritage LLC. under the laws of the State of Nevada (“DHL”). DHL’s operations will be focused on reproducing very limited Duesenberg Heritage vehicles which were originally manufactured in the 1920s and 1930s; such as the Duesenberg Model J and Boat Tail series. The Company expects that the manufacture of the vehicles from that era will be time consuming and would require highly specialized and skilled tradesman; the Company also anticipates DHL to start generating revenue independent of the core business of Duesenberg.

 

In order to support the development and future production of Duesenberg EV as well as Duesenberg Heritage vehicles, we will require significant financing. During the nine-month period ended July 31, 2021, we have closed two private placement financings (the “Financings”) by issuing a total of 833,333 shares of our common stock (the “Shares”) for gross proceeds of $673,000. The Shares were issued pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) to the persons who are not residents of the United States and are otherwise not “U.S. Persons” as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S of the Act. The funds we have raised in the above Financings are not sufficient to bring our Duesenberg EV and Duesenberg Heritage vehicle production plans to completion, and we will require additional funding. We cannot assure the reader that we will be successful in securing the further funding as required.

Our salaries and wages increased by $167,518 from $220,216 we incurred during the nine-month period ended July 31, 2020, to $387,734 we incurred during the nine-month period ended July 31, 2021, the increase was mainly associated with employment agreements for our new CSO and CTO.

Other Items

 

During the three months ended July 31, 2021, we recorded $1,720 (2020 - $3,407) in interest expense and $559 in realized foreign exchange loss (2020 - $71) associated with the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates between the US, Canadian, Malaysian, and Hong Kong currencies.

 

During the nine months ended July 31, 2021, we recorded $9,346 (2020 - $8,923) in interest expense, of which $5,435 (2020 - $6,047) was associated with the liabilities under the notes payable we issued to our major shareholder, and $3,800 (2020 - $2,876) was accrued on the third-party notes payable; we also recorded $110 in realized foreign exchange gain (2020 - $15 loss) associated with the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates between the US, Canadian, Malaysian, and Hong Kong currencies.

 

During the nine months ended July 31, 2020, we recognized a $22,801 impairment on deposit paid by our subsidiary, VGrab Asia, to a vendor, as underlying agreement to supply certain commodities the Company acquired for trading fell through. We did not have similar transactions during the current period ended July 31, 2021.

 

Translation to Reporting Currency

 

Changes in translation to reporting currency result from differences between our functional currencies, being the Canadian dollar for the parent Company, Malaysian Ringgit for Duesenberg Malaysia, and Hong Kong Dollar for Duesenberg Evolution, and our reporting currency, being the United States dollar. These differences are caused by fluctuation in foreign exchange rates between the four currencies as well as different accounting treatments between various financial instruments. During the three- and nine-month periods ended July 31, 2021, we recognized $9,237 and $35,915 loss on translation to reporting currency, as compared to $3,432 loss and $22,580 gain we recognized for the three- and nine-month periods ended July 31, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

GOING CONCERN

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that we will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. We started generating operating revenue in the third quarter of our fiscal 2020, however, this revenue is not sufficient to support our operating expenses, and/or to enable us to pay dividends, therefore, it is unlikely that we will be in position to generate significant earnings or to pay dividends to our shareholders in the immediate or foreseeable future. Our continuation as a going concern depends upon the continued financial support of our shareholders, our ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations.

 

Based on our current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. At July 31, 2021, we had a working capital deficit of $744,825 and accumulated losses of $9,106,307 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate significant revenues in the future. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Therefore, we may be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in our financial statements.

During the nine-month period ended July 31, 2021, our working capital deficit increased by $243,792, from $501,033 as at October 31, 2020, to $744,825 as at July 31, 2021. The increase in the working capital deficit was primarily related to an increase in our current liabilities of $372,717. This change was associated with a $519,097 increase in amounts payable to our vendors, mainly on account of amounts due for the design fees of our Duesenberg EV, and a $37,536 increase in notes payable we issued to our lenders. These increases were offset by a $179,945 decrease in the amounts due to our related parties associated with a conversion to Shares of $77,103 we owed to Mr. Lim on account of unpaid salary and reimbursable expenses, and a conversion to Shares of $410,076 we owed to Hampshire Avenue under the 4% notes payable. Our accrued liabilities decreased by $3,971. The increase in our current liabilities was partially offset by an increase in our current assets of $128,925 which resulted from cash we received on closing of two concurrent private placement financing whereby we issued a total of 833,333 shares for gross proceeds of $673,000, and an increase to a prepaid expense of $92,790, which was associated with advance payment of future wages and other reimbursable expenses we made to Mr. Joe Lim. In addition, our receivables increased by $19,850 and were in part associated with GST receivable on Canadian operations, and with the amounts to be collected from our customers.

During the nine-month period ended July 31, 2021, we received $95,152 under loan agreements with Hampshire Avenue. The loans bear interest at 4% per annum, are unsecured and payable on demand. In addition, we borrowed $29,000 from third-party-lenders under 4% demand notes payable. During the nine-month period ended July 31, 2021, we received $673,000 in proceeds from two separate private placement financings by issuing a total of 833,333 shares of our common stock. We paid $9,705 in share issuance costs associated with these private placements.

 

During the nine-month period ended July 31, 2020, we received net $125,875 under loan agreements with Hampshire Avenue. The loans bear interest at 4% per annum, are unsecured and payable on demand.

 

Capital Resources

 

Our ability to continue the development and marketing of the VGrab Applications, SMART Systems, VGrab WeChat Application, as well as commencement of the development of Duesenberg EV and Duesenberg Heritage vehicles, is subject to our ability to obtain necessary funding. We expect to raise funds through sales of our debt or equity securities. We have no committed sources of capital.  If we are unable to raise funds as and when we need them, we may be required to curtail, or even to cease, our operations.

 

As of July 31, 2021, we had cash on hand of $28,000 and working capital deficit of $744,825, which raises substantial doubt about our continuation as a going concern. During the nine-month period ended July 31, 2021, we closed two concurrent private placement financings for net proceeds of $663,295, however, these funds will not be sufficient to complete our current business plans, and we will require additional financing.

 

We plan to mitigate our losses in future years by controlling our operating expenses and actively seeking new distribution channels for our VGrab products, Duesenberg EV, and Duesenberg Heritage Vehicles. We cannot provide assurance that we will be successful in generating additional capital to support our development. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements and no non-consolidated, special-purpose entities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the United States generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2020. The following accounting policies have been determined by our management to be the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operation:

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. On consolidation, the Company eliminates all intercompany balances and transactions.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction

 

The Parent Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar, Duesenberg Malaysia’s functional currency is Malaysian Ringgit, and Duesenberg Evolution’s functional currency is Hong Kong dollar, the Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar. VGrab International’s, Duesenberg NV’s, and Duesenberg Heritage functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. The Company translates assets and liabilities to US dollars using reporting date exchange rates, and translates revenues and expenses using average exchange rates during the period. Gains and losses arising on translation to the reporting currency are included in the other comprehensive income.

 

Foreign exchange gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in foreign exchange expense. Except for translations of intercompany balances, all translations of monetary balances to the functional currency at the reporting date exchange rate are included in foreign exchange expense. The translations of intercompany balances to the functional currency at the reporting date exchange rate are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Our financial instruments include cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accruals as well as notes payable and amounts due to related parties. We believe the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, and amounts receivable.

 

At July 31, 2021, we had $12,369 in cash on deposit with a large chartered Canadian bank, $15,170 in cash on deposits with a bank in Malaysia, and $461 in cash on deposits with a bank in Hong Kong. As part of our cash management process, we perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions. We have not experienced any losses in cash balances and do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on our cash.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Not Applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. The evaluation was undertaken in consultation with our accounting personnel. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, due to our current size and lack of segregation of duties, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended July 31, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Creditor agrees, covenants, represents and warrants with and to the Company as follows, and acknowledges that the Company is relying upon such agreements, covenants, representations and warranties in connection with the sale of the Shares to such Creditor:

 

5.1The Creditor is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in NI 45-106 and the Creditor has completed, signed, and delivered with this Agreement, a copy of the Canadian Accredited Investor Certificate and Risk Acknowledgement Form attached as Schedules A and B to this Agreement. 

 

5.2The Creditor acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Company is an “OTC reporting issuer” as that term is defined in MI 51-105, (ii) the Offered Securities may not be traded in or from a jurisdiction in Canada unless the following conditions have been met, (iii) the Creditor will comply with such conditions in making any trade of the Offered Securities in or from a jurisdiction in Canada and (iv) the Company will refuse to register any transfer of the Offered Securities made in connection with a trade of the Offered Securities in or from a jurisdiction in Canada and not made in accordance with the provisions of MI 51-105: 

 

(a)A four month period has passed from the later of (i) the date that the Company distributed the Offered Securities, and (ii) the date the Offered Securities were distributed by a control person of the Company; 

 

(b)If the person trading the Offered Securities is a control person of the Company, such person has held the Offered Securities for at least 6 months; 

 

(c)The number of Offered Securities that the person proposes to trade, plus the number of securities of the same class that such person has traded in the preceding 12 months, does not exceed 5% of the Company’s outstanding securities of the same class; 

 

(d)The trade is made through an investment dealer registered in a jurisdiction in Canada; 

 

(e)The investment dealer executes the trade through any of the over-the-counter markets in the United States; 

 

(f)There has been no unusual effort made to prepare the market or create a demand for the Offered Securities; 

 

(g)No extraordinary commission or other consideration is paid to a person for the trade; 

 

(h)If the person trading the Offered Securities is an insider of the Company, the person reasonably believes that the Company is not in default of securities legislation; and 

 

(i)All certificates representing the Offered Securities bear the Canadian restrictive legend set out in Section 13(1) of MI 51-105. 

 

5.3The Creditor represents and warrants that it is a resident of the jurisdiction specified in the Creditor’s address as set out in the first page to this Agreement and that it does not presently intend to trade any of the Offered Securities in or from a jurisdiction in Canada.  If the Creditor does, in the future, intend to trade the Offered Securities in or from a jurisdiction in Canada, it will, in addition to complying with the provisions of Section 4.2, re-submit all certificates representing the Offered Securities to the Company for purposes of having the legend set out in Section 13(1) of MI 51-105 endorsed on such certificates. 

 

5.4The Creditor acknowledges that an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and involves a high degree of risk as the Company is in the early stages of developing its business, and may  


Page 4 of 10


require substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of this private placement, and that only creditors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company.  The Creditor is an investor in securities of businesses in the development stage and acknowledges that the Creditor is able to fend for himself/herself/itself, can bear the economic risk of the Creditor's investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters such that the Creditor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company’s securities as contemplated in this Agreement.

 

5.5If the Creditor is not an individual, was not organized for the purpose of acquiring the Offered Securities. 

 

5.6The Creditor has had full opportunity to review the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company’s filings on the Canadian System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR), including, but not limited to, the Company’s annual reports, quarterly reports, current reports and additional information regarding the business and financial condition of the Company.  The Creditor has had full opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding this information, and to review and discuss this information with the Creditor's legal and financial advisors.  The Creditor believes he/she/it has received all the information he/she/it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares and that the Creditor has had full opportunity to discuss this information with the Creditor’s legal and financial advisors prior to executing this Agreement. 

 

5.7The Creditor acknowledges that the offering of the Offered Securities by the Company has not been reviewed by the SEC or any other securities commission or regulatory body, and that the Offered Securities are being issued by the Company pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and an exemption from the prospectus requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws. 

 

5.8The Creditor understands that the Offered Securities will be characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under the Securities Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. The Creditor represents that the Creditor is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. 

 

5.9The Offered Securities will be acquired by the Creditor for investment for the Creditor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Creditor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.  The Creditor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Offered Securities. 

 

5.10The Creditor is not aware of any advertisement or general solicitation regarding the offer or sale of the Company’s securities. 

 

5.11This Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by the Creditor. 

 

5.12The Creditor acknowledges that this Agreement and the Schedules hereto require the Creditor to provide certain personal information to the Company.  Such information is being collected by the Company for the purposes of completing the Offering, which includes, without limitation, determining the Creditor's eligibility to purchase the Offered Securities and any other securities issuable hereunder under applicable securities laws, or preparing and registering certificates representing the Offered Securities to be issued to the Creditor, as the case may be, and completing filings required by any stock exchange or securities regulatory authority. The Creditor's personal information may be disclosed by the Company to stock exchanges or securities  


Page 5 of 10


or other regulatory authorities, and any of the other parties involved in the Offering, including the Company’s legal counsel, and may be included in record books in connection with the Offering. By executing this Agreement, the Creditor is deemed to be consenting to the foregoing collection, use and disclosure of the Creditor's personal information. The Creditor also consents to the filing of copies or originals of any of the Creditor's documents described herein as may be required to be filed with any stock exchange or securities or other regulatory authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

5.13The Creditor has satisfied himself/herself/itself as to the full observance of the laws of the Creditor's jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Offered Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within the Creditor's jurisdiction for the purchase of the Offered Securities; (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase; (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained; (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to an investment in the Offered Securities; and (v) any restrictions on transfer applicable to any disposition of the Offered Securities imposed by the jurisdiction in which the Creditor is resident.
