Item 3.D. Risk Factors

 

The Company and the Securities of the Company, should be considered a highly speculative investment. The following risk factors should be given special consideration when evaluating an investment in any of the Company's Securities:

 

1). RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

 

- Regulations: 37 Capital’s proposed mineral exploration programs, are subject to extensive federal, provincial and local laws and regulations governing such exploration, development and operation of mining activities as well as the protection of the environment, including laws and regulations relating to obtaining permits to mine, protection of air and water quality, hazardous waste management, mine reclamation and the protection of endangered or threatened species.

 

- Exploration and Development: The resource properties in which the Company has an interest are in the exploration stages only and do not have a known body of commercial ore. Exploration and development of natural resource properties involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing properties. Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling, to develop processes to extract the resources and, in the case of new properties, to develop the extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for extraction. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major deposit, no assurance can be given that resources will be discovered in sufficient quantities or grades to justify commercial operations or that the funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis.

 

- Operating Hazards and Risks: Exploration for natural resources involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Operations in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of resources, any of which could result in work stoppages, damages to persons or property and possible environmental damages. Although the Company may obtain liability insurance in an amount which it considers adequate, the nature of these risks is such that liabilities might exceed policy limits, the liabilities and hazards might not be insurable against, or the Company might not elect to insure itself against such liabilities due to high premium costs or other reasons, in which event the Company could incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition.

 

- Fluctuating Metal Prices: The prices of those commodities have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years, and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation or deflation, currency exchange rate fluctuations, interest rates fluctuations, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the prices of metals, and therefore the economic viability of the Company's interest in exploration projects, cannot be accurately predicted.

 

  5  

 

 

- Environmental Factors: Should the Company decide to conduct any mineral exploration works then all phases of the Company's mineral exploration works shall be subject to environmental regulations. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees.

 

- Competition: The resource industry is intensely competitive in all of its respective phases, and the Company competes with many companies possessing much greater financial resources and technical facilities than the Company. As such, competition is adversely affecting the Company's ability to acquire suitable mineral exploration properties at reasonable prices.

 

- Management: The Company is dependent on a relatively small number of key employees, the loss of any of whom could have an adverse effect on the Company.

 

- Dilution: There are a number of outstanding securities and agreements pursuant to which common shares of the Company may be issued in the future. This will result in further dilution to the Company's shareholders.

 

- Revenues and Dividends: The Company does not anticipate to generate any revenue in the future and has not recognized any revenue in fiscal 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. In the event that the Company generates any revenues in the future, then the Company intends to retain its earnings in order to finance growth. Furthermore, apart from the Arrangement Agreement, the Company has not paid any dividends in the past and does not expect to pay any dividends in the future.

 

- Requirement of New Capital: As a company without any revenues, the Company typically needs more capital than it has available to it or can expect to generate through the sale of its assets. In the past, the Company has had to raise, by way of debt and equity financings, considerable funds to meet its capital needs. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds needed for its business. Failure to raise the necessary funds in a timely fashion will limit the Company's growth or may jeopardize the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has outstanding debts, has working capital deficiency, has no revenues, has incurred operating losses, and has no assurances that sufficient funding will be available to the Company to continue its operations for an extended period of time.

 

- U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations: The Company is classified as a Passive Foreign Investment Company ("PFIC") for U.S. Federal Income Tax purposes. Classification as a PFIC will create U.S. Tax consequences to a U.S. shareholder of the Company that are unique to the PFIC provisions and that are not encountered in other investments. Prospective investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the common shares of the Company.

 

- Penny Stock: The Company's securities are deemed to be Penny Stocks and are therefore subject to Penny Stock rules as defined in Rule 3a(51)(1) of the 1934 Exchange Act. The Penny Stock disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity of the Company's securities in the secondary market. Penny Stocks are low-priced shares of small companies not traded on a U.S. national exchange or quoted on Nasdaq. The Company's securities were quoted for trading on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets Group (“OTCQB”) until June 1, 2020. Presently, the Company’s securities are quoted on the PINK Sheets on the OTC market. Penny Stocks, such as the Company's securities, can be very risky. Prices of Penny Stocks are often not available. Investors in Penny Stocks are often unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. Investors may lose all their investment in Penny Stocks. There is no guaranteed rate of return on Penny Stocks. Before an investor purchases any Penny Stock, U.S. Federal law requires a salesperson to tell the investor the "offer" and the "bid" on the Penny Stock, and the "compensation" the salesperson and the firm receive for the trade. The firm also must mail a confirmation of these prices to the investor after the trade. The Investor's Broker-dealer is required to obtain the investor's signature to show that the investor has received the statement titled "Important Information on Penny Stocks" before the investor first trades in a Penny Stock. This Statement is required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and contains important information on Penny Stocks. Furthermore, under penalty of Federal Law the Investor's brokerage firm must tell the investor at two different times - before the investor agrees to buy or sell a Penny Stock, and after the trade, by written confirmation the following: 1) the bid and offer price quotes for the Penny Stock, and the number of shares to which the quoted prices apply, 2) the brokerage firm's compensation for the trade, 3) the compensation received by the brokerage firm's salesperson for the trade. In addition, to these items listed above the investor's brokerage firm must send the investor monthly account statements and a written statement of the investor's financial situation and investment goals as required by the Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990.

 

  6  

 

 

- Disruption in Trading: Trading in the common shares of the Company may be halted or suspended or may be subject to cease trade order at any time for certain reasons, including, but not limited to, the failure by the Company to submit documents to the Regulatory Authorities within the required time periods.

 

- Market Price Volatility: The market price of the Company’s common shares has experienced considerable volatility and may continue to fluctuate in the future. Furthermore, there is a limited trading market for the Company’s common shares and as such, the ability of investors to sell their shares cannot be assured.

 

- Covid-19 Pandemic - In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the coronavirus known as COVID-19. The expected impacts on global commerce are anticipated to be far reaching. To date there have been significant wide-spread adverse financial impact globally, and the movement of people and goods has become restricted. As the Company has no material operating income or cash flows, it is reliant on additional financing to fund ongoing operations. An extended disruption may affect the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing. As such, the Company may not be able to raise the required funds and may not be able to conduct exploration works on its mineral property interests in a timely manner. The impact on the economy and the Company is not yet determinable; however, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in future periods may be materially affected. In particular, there may be heightened risk of asset impairment and liquidity thus creating further going concern uncertainty.

 

- Tax ConsiderationsPersons considering the purchase of the Company’s common shares should consult their tax advisors with regard to the application of Canadian, U.S. and other tax laws to their particular situation.

 

Investment in Mexican Gaming Company: The Company does not expect that it will recover its investment in the Mexican gaming company.

 

- The Company’s investment in its mineral exploration properties: Changing conditions in the financial markets, and Canadian Income Tax legislation may have a direct adverse impact on the Company’s ability to raise funds for its interests in mineral exploration properties. A drop in the availability of equity financings will likely impede spending on mineral properties. As a result of all these significant risks, it is quite possible that the Company may lose its investments in the Company’s interest in the Extra High Property and the Acacia Property.

Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company

 

The legal and commercial name of the company is 37 CAPITAL INC. (“37 Capital”).

On April 4, 1985, the Company's common shares were listed and posted for trading on the Vancouver Stock Exchange, on the Montreal Exchange on January 15, 1988 and, on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on May 11, 1988. On July 12, 1991, the Company voluntarily de-listed its common shares from the Montreal Exchange, and, on October 3, 1994, the Company's shares were delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Effective October 4, 1994, the Company's shares have been listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and were listed for trading on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets Group Inc. (“OTCQB) until June 1, 2020. Presently, the Company’s shares are listed for trading on the PINK Sheets on the OTC market. Effective November 29, 1999 the Vancouver Stock Exchange became known as the Canadian Venture Exchange (hereinafter referred to as the “CDNX”) as a result of the merger between the Vancouver Stock Exchange and the Alberta Stock Exchange. On July 5, 2001, the Company made a formal application to the CDNX requesting the voluntary delisting of the Company’s common shares from trading on the CDNX, as a result of which, the common shares of the Company were delisted from trading on the CDNX effective at the close of trading on July 31, 2001.

 

On July 30, 1986, the Company's share capital split on the basis of one-old-for-two-new common shares. On May 25, 1992, the Company's share capital was consolidated on the basis of ten-old-for-one-new common share. On April 25, 2000, the Company’s share capital was consolidated on the basis of fifteen-old-for-one-new common share. On May 2, 2002, the Company’s share capital was consolidated on the basis of five-old-for-one-new common share and its authorized share capital was subsequently increased to 200,000,000 common shares without par value. On January 17, 2005, the Company’s share capital was consolidated on the basis of thirty-five-old-for-one-new common share and its authorized share capital was increased to an unlimited number of common and preferred shares without par value. On March 19, 2007, the Company subdivided its capital stock on a 1 (old) share for 50 (new) shares basis. As a result, the shares of Bronx Ventures Inc. were de-listed from trading and the shares of Zab Resources Inc. (“Zab”) commenced trading on March 22, 2007 on the OTC Bulletin Board in the USA under the symbol “ZABRF”.

 

As of November 28, 2007, the common shares of the Company have been listed for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) (formerly known as the Canadian National Stock Exchange (CNSX)) under the trading symbol “ZABK”. On October 17, 2008, the Company’s trading symbol on the CSE was changed to “ZAB” pursuant to the CSE adopting a three character symbol format.

 

On April 16, 2009, the Company’s share capital was consolidated on the basis of 25 (old) shares for 1 (new) share and the Company changed its name to Kokomo Enterprises Inc. (“Kokomo”). As a result, the shares of Zab were de-listed from trading and the shares of Kokomo commenced trading in Canada on the CSE under the symbol “KKO”, and in the U.S.A. the shares of Kokomo commenced trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “KKOEF”.

 

On August 31, 2012, the Company’s share capital was consolidated on the basis of 15 (old) common shares for 1 (new) common share and the Company changed its name to High 5 Ventures Inc. (“High 5”). As a result, the shares of Kokomo were de-listed from trading and the shares of High 5 commenced trading in Canada on the CSE under the symbol “HHH”, and in the U.S.A. the shares of High 5 traded on the OTCQB under the symbol “HHHEF”. The Cusip number of the Company’s common shares is 42966V105.

On April 8, 2013, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a Mexican gaming company, whereby the Company agreed to purchase a royalty revenue stream of an amount the greater of 10% of the net profits or 5% of the gross revenues of the Mexican land-based casino for a purchase price of $800,000. As of December 31, 2013, the Company invested $800,000 and advanced $49,200 for working capital purposes. The Mexican gaming company repaid the $49,200 advanced and the Company recognized $4,157 in royalty revenue during the year ended December 31, 2014. As at December 31, 2014, the Company assessed the fair value of the investment and recorded impairment of $799,999 on the investment due to nominal royalty payments received.

 

On July 7, 2014, the Company’s share capital was consolidated on the basis of 6 (old) common shares for 1 (new) common share and the Company changed its name to 37 Capital Inc. (“37 Capital”). As a result, the shares of High 5 were de-listed from trading and the shares of 37 Capital commenced trading in Canada on the CSE under the symbol “JJJ”, and in the U.S.A. the shares of 37 Capital trade on the OTCQB under the symbol “HHHEF”. The Cusip number of the Company’s common shares is 88429G102.

 

On June 21, 2019 the CSE deemed that the Company is inactive pursuant to the policies of the CSE, as a result the CSE changed the Company’s trading symbol to “JJJ.X”. The Company's common shares traded on the OTCQB tier of the OTC markets under the trading symbol “HHHEF” until June 1, 2020. Presently, the Company’s common shares are listed for trading on the PINK Sheets on the OTC market under the same trading symbol “HHHEF”.

 

Since its incorporation, the Company has been engaged primarily in the identification, acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, the development of natural resource properties and, for a brief period of time from 1991 to 1994, the Company, through its formerly owned Ecuadorean subsidiary, Armenonic del Ecuador S.A. (“Armenonic”) operated the San Bartolome lead/zinc/silver mine in Ecuador.

 

37 Capital is a junior mineral exploration company. The Company has a 100% undivided interest in the Extra High Claims located in the Province of British Columbia, and the Company has a one-half percent (1/2%) gross receipts royalty interest in certain lithium mineral properties located in the Province of Ontario. Furthermore, the Company has entered into a Property Option Agreement in respect to the Acacia Property in British Columbia, Canada whereby the Company shall have the right and option to acquire a 60% interest in the subject property on certain terms and conditions (see Item 4.D II). The principal business of 37 Capital is in mineral exploration. The Company's ability to pursue its stated primary business and to meet its obligations as they come due is dependent upon the ability of management to obtain the necessary financings either through private placements or by means of public offerings of the Company's securities or through the exercise of incentive stock options or warrants or through debt financings or through the sale of its assets.

 

Arrangement Agreement

 

On February 26, 2015, the Company incorporated two wholly-owned subsidiaries, 27 Red Capital Inc. (“27 Red”) and 4 Touchdowns Capital Inc. (“4 Touchdowns”).

 

On April 30, 2015, the Company entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) (see Exhibit 12 – Incorporated by reference) with 27 Red (“Spinco1”) and 4 Touchdowns (“Spinco2”).

 

At the Company’s annual and special meeting which was held on June 4, 2015 (see Exhibit 12 - Incorporated by reference), the Company’s shareholders passed all the resolutions presented including the re-election of the board of directors, re-appointment of the Company’s auditor, approval of the Company’s stock option plan, and the proposed Plan of Arrangement with 27 Red and 4 Touchdowns.

 

In respect to the plan of arrangement, the Company applied for an Interim Order which was granted on May 6, 2015 by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, and on June 12, 2015 the Company received the final court approval for the Plan of Arrangement.

 

  9  

 

 

The Company completed the Plan of Arrangement with 27 Red (Spinco 1) and 4 Touchdowns (Spinco 2). The effective date of the Arrangement was on February 12, 2016 (the “Effective Date”).

Item 4.D. Property, Plants and Equipment

 

I. Extra High Claims, Kamloops Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada

 

On March 26, 2004, the Company entered into an Option Agreement (Exhibit 10.5 – Incorporated by reference) with an arm’s length party (the “Arm’s Length Party”) in respect to certain mineral claims, which are situated in the Kamloops Mining Division in British Columbia (the “Extra High Claims”). Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement as amended on March 8, 2005, the Company obtained the right to acquire a 100% undivided interest in the Extra High Claims, subject to a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty (the “Arm’s Length Royalty”), by making staged cash payments totalling $150,000 and incurring exploration expenditures on the Extra High Claims totalling $500,000 over a period of three years. Upon the Company earning a 100% undivided interest in the Extra High Claims, the Company obtained the right to purchase at any time 50% of the Arm’s Length Royalty by paying to the Arm’s Length Party the sum of $500,000 leaving the Arm’s Length Party with a 0.75% NSR royalty.

 

In the spring of 2004, the Company commissioned an independent review of the Extra High Mineral Property by Erik Ostensoe, P. Geo., who prepared a report, dated the 22nd day of April, 2004 titled “National Policy 43-101 Report, Extra High Mineral Property, Kamloops Mining Division, British Columbia”. The report recommended exploration work programs be carried out on the Extra High Mineral Property in order to evaluate the mineral potential of the Extra High Mineral Property. This report has been filed on www.Sedar.com by the Company.

 

From May, 2005 up to December, 2005, the Company conducted its exploration program on the Extra High Claims. The exploration program consisted of soil sampling, geological mapping, trenching and diamond drilling. A total of 1,874.3 metres of NQ diamond drilling and 455 lineal metres of trenching were completed while 194 soil samples were collected over 4 areas on the Extra High Mineral Property. The exploration work program was conducted by, and was under the direct supervision of, J.W. Murton, P. Eng, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. At the time, Mr. J.W. Murton was a director of the Company. Mr. J. W. Murton has recommended a two phase exploration program on the Extra High Mineral Property due to the positive results obtained from the 2005 exploration program. Mr. J. W. Murton has prepared for the Company a Technical Report (NI 43-101) on the Extra High Claims (2005 Exploration Program) dated February 28, 2006 which has been filed by the Company on www.Sedar.com, and on the Company’s corporate website, www.37capitalinc.com. For further particulars about the Extra High Mineral Property and the 2005 Exploration Program, please visit either www.sedar.com or www.37capitalinc.com. Mr. J.W. Murton is no longer a director of the Company.

On September 8, 2006, the Company entered into an Option Agreement (Exhibit 10.11 – Incorporated by reference) with Colt Resources Inc. (“Colt”), a company formerly related by certain directors and officers, whereby Colt obtained the right to acquire a 50% undivided interest, subject to the Arm’s Length Royalty, in the Extra High Claims by incurring exploration expenditures of $240,000 on the Extra High Claims by no later than February 28, 2007 and by making cash payments to the Company totalling $133,770 by no later than March 26, 2007.

 

On September 12, 2006, the Company and the Arm’s Length Party amended the Option Agreement (Exhibit 10.5.1 – Incorporated by reference) by entering into an Amending Agreement whereby the Company was granted an extension period until June 26, 2007 to make the balance of cash payments to the Arm’s Length Party and incur the remaining exploration expenditures on the Extra High Claims.

 

On October 31, 2006, the Company and Colt entered into an Amending Agreement (Exhibit 10.11.2 – Incorporated by reference) whereby Colt was granted an extension period until June 26, 2007 to incur exploration expenditures on the Extra High Claims and to make the cash payments to the Company.

 

On April 16, 2007, the Company and the Arm’s Length Party amended the Option Agreement (Exhibit 10.5.2 – Incorporated by reference) by entering into an Amending Agreement whereby the Company was released of the requirement to incur the remaining exploration expenditures but instead was required to make a cash payment of $60,000 (paid) to the Arm’s Length Party.

 

On June 14, 2007, the Company amended its Option Agreement with Colt whereby Colt would have the right to acquire a 34% interest in the Extra High Claims by making cash payments to the Company totalling $193,770 by no later than June 26, 2007. The Amending Agreement released Colt of the requirement to incur $240,000 in exploration expenditures on the Extra High Claims.

 

On June 26, 2007, the Company made its final payment to the Arm’s Length Party thereby earning a 100% undivided interest in the Extra High Claims subject only to the Arm’s Length Royalty. Colt made its final payment to the Company and earned its 34% interest in the Extra High Claims, thus reducing the Company’s interest to 66%.

 

During 2007, the Company and its joint venture partner Colt conducted a diamond drilling program on the Extra High Claims. A total of 1,293.59 metres were drilled in 8 NQ diamond drill holes. The diamond drilling program was targeted at expanding the previously indicated mineralization in the K7 lens and was successful in revealing the potential for larger zones of lower grade mineralization lying adjacent to the massive sulphide mineralization indicated in earlier work. The diamond drilling program was conducted by and was under the direct supervision of J. W. Murton, P. Eng., a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. At the time, Mr. J. W. Murton was a director of the Company. For further particulars about the diamond drilling program please see the report on the 2007 Diamond Drilling Program dated February 28, 2008 that was prepared for the Company and Colt by J. W. Murton, P. Eng. which has been filed by the Company on its corporate website www.37capitalinc.com. As of December 10, 2009, J.W. Murton resigned as a director of the Company.

 

At December 31, 2007, the Company held a 66% interest in the Extra High Claims. 

 

  13  

 

 

On January 21, 2008, the Company entered into an Option Agreement (the “2008 Option Agreement”) (Exhibit 10.11.3 - Incorporated by reference) with Colt whereby Colt was granted the right and option to acquire, in two separate equal tranches, the Company’s 66% undivided interest in the Extra High Claims. Pursuant to the 2008 Option Agreement, Colt exercised the first tranche of the option by making a cash payment of $250,000 to the Company thus acquiring from the Company a 33% undivided interest in the Extra High Claims. As a result of Colt exercising the first tranche of the option, Colt increased its undivided interest in the Extra High Claims to 67% and Colt became the operator of the Extra High Claims.

 

In order to exercise the second tranche of the option, Colt was required to make a cash payment of $250,000 to the Company on or before December 31, 2008. Colt did not exercise the second tranche of the option. Consequently, Colt held a 67% undivided interest in the Extra High Claims and the Company held a 33% undivided interest in the Extra High Claims. Pursuant to the Joint Venture which the Company and Colt had formed, each party were required to contribute its proportionate share of property related expenditures. If any party fails to contribute its share of future property related expenditures, then its interest will be diluted on a straight-line basis. If any party’s interest is diluted to less than 10%, then that party’s interest in the Extra High Claims will be converted into a 0.5% net smelter returns royalty.

 

Neither the Company nor the operator of the Extra High Claims had incurred any meaningful exploration or evaluation expenditures in recent years with respect to the Extra High Claims. Accordingly, during the fiscal year-ended 2011 the Company recognized an impairment provision of $151,339 to reduce the carrying amount to $1. If there is an indication in the future that the impairment loss recognized no longer exists or has decreased, the recoverable amount will be estimated and the carrying value of the property will be increased to its recoverable amount. The Company did not incur any expenditures on the Extra High Claims during the years 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, however during 2016 the Company transferred from its PAC account with the Mineral Titles Office of the Province of British Columbia credits totalling $4,096 to Colt’s PAC account to enable Colt to use the credits towards assessment filing on the Extra High Claims.

 

Pursuant to the March 30, 2016 Amending Agreement (Exhibit 10.11.4 – Incorporated by reference), Colt and the Company agreed to reduce the size of the Extra High Claims from 1,077 hectares to 650 hectares by abandoning certain claims.

 

On March 31, 2016, the Company together with Colt have extended to December 25, 2019 the expiry date of certain mineral claims totalling 650 hectares which comprise the Extra High Claims. During 2016, the Company together with Colt have abandoned a total of 427 hectares of mineral claims which were previously part of the Extra High Claims. A 2016 Assessment Report on Preliminary Metallurgical Testing on the Extra High Claims was prepared by J.W. Murton on May 20, 2016 on behalf of Colt.

 

As at December 31, 2018, the Company held a 33% undivided interest in the Extra High Claims.

 

On October 31, 2019, as amended on November 4, 2019, the Company entered into a Property Purchase Agreement with Colt whereby the Company has purchased Colt’s 67% right, interest and title in and to the Extra High Property for a cash consideration of $100,000 of which $25,000 was paid on the closing date of the Property Purchase Agreement and the balance i.e. $75,000 is payable after eighteen months from the closing date. Additionally, the Company is obligated to pay Colt a 0.5% NSR from commercial production which may be purchased by the Company at any time by making a payment of $500,000 (see Exhibit 10.11.5 – Incorporated by reference). As at December 31, 2019, the Company owns a 100% undivided right, interest and title in and to the Extra High Property which covers an area of 650 hectares.

 

The Company withdrew from its PAC account with the Mineral Titles Office of the Province of British Columbia credits totalling $ 51,920.64 to extend the expiry date of the Extra High Property until December 25, 2021.

 

In addition to the 0.5% NSR Royalty payable to Colt, the Extra High Property is subject to a 1.5% Net Smelter Returns Royalty (“NSR”) payable to a third party, 50% of which, or 0.75%, can be purchased by the Company at any time by paying $500,000.

 

As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company holds a 100% undivided interest in the Extra High Claims.

 

The Extra High Claims are located on Samatosum Mountain, immediately south of the formerly producing Samatosum Mine, 60 km northeast of Kamloops, British Columbia.

During November 2019, the Company issued 100,000 common shares in the capital of the Company to Eagle Plains at the deemed price of $0.075 per share.

 

On October 15, 2020 the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement to the Acacia Property Option Agreement with Eagle Plains whereby the Company a) shall issue to Eagle Plains 50,000 common shares in lieu of not having incurred the required $100,000 in property related expenditures during the 1st Anniversary of the Acacia Property Option Agreement, b) shall issue to Eagle Plains an additional 50,000 common shares in order to continue with the 2nd Period of the Acacia Property Option Agreement and c) has made a firm commitment to incur a total amount of $200,000 in property related expenditures during the 2nd Period of the Acacia Property Option Agreement (see Exhibit 10.19.1* Attached).

On February 26, 2015, the Company incorporated two wholly-owned private British Columbia subsidiaries, 27 Red Capital Inc. (“27 Red”) and 4 Touchdowns Capital Inc. (“4 Touchdowns”). On April 30, 2015, the Company entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with 27 Red and 4 Touchdowns. A copy of the Arrangement Agreement is available on SEDAR.

 

In respect to the Plan of Arrangement, the Company applied for an Interim Order which was granted on May 6, 2015 by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, and on June 12, 2015 the Company received the final court approval for the Plan of Arrangement.

 

At the Company’s annual and special meeting which was held on June 4, 2015, the Company’s shareholders passed all the resolutions presented including the re-election of the board of directors, re-appointment of the Company’s auditor, approval of the Company’s stock option plan, and the proposed Plan of Arrangement with 27 Red and 4 Touchdowns.

 

The Company completed the Plan of Arrangement with 27 Red (Spinco 1) and 4 Touchdowns (Spinco 2). The effective date of the Arrangement was on February 12, 2016 (the “Effective Date”). Shareholders of record on the Effective Date received one new common share, one Class 1 Reorganization Share and one Class 2 Reorganization Share of the Company. On the Effective Date, and pursuant to the Arrangement, all of the Class 1 Reorganization Shares were automatically transferred by Shareholders to Spinco1 in exchange for 2,067,724 common shares of Spinco1 and issued to Shareholders on a pro rata basis (resulting in one common share of Spinco1 being issued for every one Class 1 Reorganization Share).

Furthermore on the Effective Date, all of the Class 2 Reorganization Shares were automatically transferred by Shareholders to Spinco2 in exchange for 2,067,724 common shares of Spinco2 and issued to Shareholders on a pro rata basis (resulting in one common share of Spinco2 being issued for every one Class 2 Reorganization Share). Immediately following this, the Company redeemed all of the Class 2 Reorganization Shares by the transfer to Spinco2 of $20,677 and a promissory note in the principal amount of $20,677. The promissory note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.

Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement as amended on March 8, 2005, the Company obtained the right to acquire a 100% undivided interest in the Extra High Claims, subject to a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty (the “Arm’s Length Royalty”), by making staged cash payments totalling $150,000 and incurring exploration expenditures on the Extra High Claims totalling $500,000 over a period of three years. Upon the Company earning a 100% undivided interest in the Extra High Claims, the Company obtained the right to purchase at any time 50% of the Arm’s Length Royalty by paying to the Arm’s Length Party the sum of $500,000 leaving the Arm’s Length Party with a 0.75% NSR royalty.

 

On September 8, 2006, the Company entered into an Option Agreement (Exhibit 10.11 – Incorporated by reference) with Colt Resources Inc. (“Colt”) whereby Colt obtained the right to acquire a 50% undivided interest, subject to the Arm’s Length Royalty, in the Extra High Claims by incurring exploration expenditures of $240,000 on the Extra High Claims by no later than February 28, 2007 and by making cash payments to the Company totaling $133,770 by no later than March 26, 2007. On September 12, 2006, the Company and the Arm’s Length Party amended the Option Agreement (Exhibit 10.5.1 – Incorporated by reference) by entering into an Amending Agreement whereby the Company was granted an extension period until June 26, 2007 to make the balance of cash payments to the Arm’s Length Party and incur the remaining exploration expenditures on the Extra High Claims.

Upon Colt earning its 50% undivided interest in the Extra High Claims, the Company and Colt would thereafter equally contribute to all future exploration costs. If any party would fail to contribute its share of future exploration costs, then its respective interest would be diluted on a straight-line basis. If any party’s interest would be diluted to less than a 10% interest, then that party’s interest in the Extra High Claims would be converted into a 0.5% NSR royalty. On April 16, 2007, the Company and the Arm’s Length Party amended the Option Agreement (Exhibit 10.5.2 – Incorporated by reference) by entering into an Amending Agreement whereby the Company was released of the requirement to incur the remaining exploration expenditures but instead was required to make a cash payment of $60,000 (paid) to the Arm’s Length Party.

The Amending Agreement released Colt of the requirement to incur $240,000 in exploration expenditures on the Extra High Claims. On June 26, 2007, the Company made its final payment to the Arm’s Length Party thereby earning a 100% undivided interest in the Extra High Claims subject only to the Arm’s Length Royalty. Colt made its final payment to the Company and earned its 34% interest in the Extra High Claims, thus reducing the Company’s interest to 66%.

Pursuant to the 2008 Option Agreement, Colt exercised the first tranche of the option by making a cash payment of $250,000 to the Company thus acquiring from the Company a 33% undivided interest in the Extra High Claims. Colt did not exercise the second tranche of the option. As a result of exercising the first tranche of the option, Colt held a 67% undivided interest in the Extra High Claims and became the operator of the Extra High Claims, and the Company held a 33% undivided interest in the Extra High Claims.

Item 10.E. Taxation

 

General

 

The following comments summarize the material Canadian and U.S. Federal Income Tax consequences for a shareholder of the Registrant who is a non-resident of Canada and who is a resident of the United States subject to taxation under the laws of the United States.

 

  40  

 

 

The following is based upon the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”) and regulations thereunder, the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) and regulations thereunder, the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, 1980 (the “Convention”), the current administrative policies and practices published by Canada Revenue Agency or by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and regulations thereunder that have been publicly announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof, and judicial decisions, all of which are subject to change. The following does not take into account the tax laws of the various provinces or territories of Canada or the tax laws of the various state and local jurisdictions of the United States or foreign jurisdictions.

 

The following is intended to be a general description of the Canadian and U.S. Federal income tax considerations material to a purchase of the common shares and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any prospective holders. The following does not address consequences peculiar to any holder subject to special provision of Canadian or U.S. income tax law. Therefore, prospective holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the common shares of 37 Capital Inc.

 

CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

Dividends on Common Stock

 

Under the Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is subject to withholding tax at the rate of 25% on dividends from a corporation resident in Canada. The Convention reduces this rate to 15% for a shareholder resident in the United States. Withholding tax is further reduced to 5% if the United States resident shareholder is a corporation that beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the corporation paying the dividend.

 

Exemptions from Withholding Tax

 

The Convention provides exemption from Canadian income tax on dividends paid to religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organizations or to an organization constituted and operated exclusively to administer or provide benefits under one or more pension, retirement or employee benefit funds or plans. To qualify for exemption such organizations must be resident in the United States and be exempt from income tax under the laws of the United States.

 

Dispositions of Common Stock

 

The following comments apply only to a shareholder whose Common stock constitutes capital property to him/her for purposes of the Income Tax Act.

 

Common stock will generally constitute capital property unless the holder is a trader or dealer in securities or is engaged in a venture in the nature of trade in respect of Common Stock.

 

Common stock of a resident public corporation will constitute taxable Canadian property of a shareholder at a particular time if at any time in the preceding five (5) years, 25% or more of the issued shares of any class of the capital stock of the Registrant belonged to the non-resident shareholder, persons with whom the non-resident did not deal at arm’s length, or to the non-resident shareholder and persons with whom the non-resident shareholder did not deal at arm’s length.

 

Under the Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is subject to Canadian tax on taxable capital gains from dispositions of taxable Canadian property and may deduct allowable capital losses from dispositions of taxable Canadian property. If the shares are considered taxable Canadian property, the vendor may be required to withhold tax pursuant to section 116 of the Tax Act.

 

Upon disposal of capital property the amount, if any, by which a taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition exceed or are exceeded by the adjusted cost base of the capital property (including expenses of disposition) represent the capital gain (or loss) on disposition of the capital property. One half of the gain (the “taxable capital gain”) is brought into income and taxed at normal rates. One half of the loss (the “allowable capital loss”) can be deducted from taxable capital gains realized in the same year. Pursuant to the Federal Budget which was announced on February 28, 2000, the taxable capital gain and allowable capital loss inclusion rate was reduced from three-fourths to two-thirds for dispositions after February 27, 2000. On October 18, 2000, the Federal Budget further reduced the inclusion rate from two-thirds to one-half for dispositions after October 17, 2000. For dispositions of taxable Canadian property any excess of allowable capital losses over taxable capital gains becomes a “net capital loss” which can be carried to other years to reduce taxable capital gains from the disposition of such property.

 

  41  

 

 

The Convention gives protection to United States residents from Canadian tax on certain gains derived from the alienation of property. There is no protection for a gain on a disposition of shares the value of which is derived principally from real property in Canada. Protection under the Convention will be available as long as the Registrant remains a Canadian public corporation or its shares continue to be listed on a prescribed stock exchange.

 

Canada Revenue Agency has indicated that it considers the protection of the Convention with respect to capital gains extend to a “deemed disposition” under the Tax Act, including the “deemed disposition” arising upon the death of a taxpayer.

 

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

37 CAPITAL INC. (“37 Capital”) is classified as a Passive Foreign Investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes since the following conditions have applied for at least one taxable year since 1986:

 

1) 75% or more of its gross income has been passive;

2) The average percentage of its assets producing passive income is at least 50%.

 

The following is intended to be a general description of the U.S. Federal income tax considerations material to a purchase of the common shares and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any prospective holders. Prospective holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the common shares of 37 Capital.

 

Since 37 Capital has satisfied the PFIC criteria for at least one taxable year since 1986, while a shareholder holds shares in 37 Capital, it remains a PFIC as to that shareholder even if it no longer meets the income or asset test. Classification as a PFIC will create U.S. tax consequences to a U.S. Shareholder that are unique to the PFIC provisions and that are not encountered in other investments.

 

Generally, a U.S. shareholder will realize ordinary income on the receipt of cash dividends or property distributions from an investment in the shares of a foreign corporation to the extent such dividends are paid out of the foreign company’s current accumulated earnings and profits. To the extent of any withholding taxes, both individual and corporate investors must include such taxes in income and, in turn, claim a foreign tax credit. Certain corporate investors are also entitled to gross up the underlying foreign corporate income taxes and claim a foreign tax credit.

 

Thus, under the general rule, no U.S. federal income tax consequences occur until an actual dividend is paid. Although this general rule can apply in a PFIC investment, there are significant deviations from this general rule and many elections available to a U.S. shareholder that can alter the U.S. federal income tax consequences. Such consequences will be unique to each U.S. shareholder.

 

In the absence of any PFIC elections, a U.S. shareholder of a PFIC, will be taxed under the excess distribution method. Under this method, where a current year dividend exceeds 125% of the average of dividends during the preceding three taxable years, the excess must be allocated rateably to each day in the taxpayer’s holding period.

 

  42  

 

 

The amount of the excess allocated to the current year and to years when the corporation was not a PFIC is included in the shareholder’s gross income for the year of the distribution. The remainder of the excess is not included in gross income, but the U.S. shareholder must pay a deferred tax amount by allocating the remaining excess to all PFIC years, re-computing the tax for each PFIC year and computing and paying the resultant interest on the recomputed tax for each PFIC year. As indicated above, foreign tax credit relief is available for withholding taxes for both individual and corporate investors. Relief for underlying corporate tax is only available for certain corporate investors.

 

Under the excess distribution method, gain on the disposition of PFIC shares results in the same allocation process; gross income inclusion; tax re-computation; and interest charges as an excess distribution.

 

In lieu of the excess distribution method, a U.S. shareholder may elect to treat a PFIC as a Qualified Electing Fund (“QEF”) and be taxed under the QEF method. If that election is made, the U.S. shareholder will be taxed currently on its pro-rata share of the earnings of the QEF. The current income inclusion eliminates the interest charge under the excess distribution method. Thus, unlike the excess distribution method that requires the receipt of cash from an actual dividend or sale, the QEF method invokes taxation without the receipt of cash.

 

Shareholders, who make a QEF election may, or may not, remain subject to tax under the excess distribution method. If the U.S. shareholder makes the QEF election for the foreign corporation’s first tax year as a PFIC that is included in the shareholder’s holding period, the excess distribution will not apply to the shareholder. Thus, this type of shareholder will include its pro-rata share of PFIC earnings as a dividend, claim the appropriate foreign tax credit, and not face any interest charge.

 

If the shareholder makes the QEF election at a later time, in the absence of any other PFIC election, current taxation under the QEF method will apply prospectively. However, the excess distribution method continues to apply prior to the effective date of the QEF election.

 

If the shareholder makes the QEF election at a later time, the shareholder has an additional option to make a purging election. If a purging election is made, the PFIC stock would be treated as if it were sold and the gain treated as an excess distribution requiring: a gross income inclusion; allocation to PFIC years in the shareholder’s holding period, a tax re-computation for PFIC years in the shareholder’s holding period; and an interest charge payment. As a result of the purging election, thereafter the excess distribution method would not apply to that shareholder.

 

Under the QEF method, the U.S. shareholder has another option. In lieu of paying the tax on its pro-rata share of PFIC earnings, the U.S. shareholder in a QEF on the last day of the QEF’s tax year may elect to extend the time for payment of any of its undistributed PFIC earnings tax liability for the tax year. If the election is made, the election is treated as an extension of time to pay tax and, thus, the U.S. shareholder is liable for interest.

 

In lieu of any of the above-described methods, since 37 Capital is regularly traded on a national securities exchange, U.S. shareholders may wish to make an election to mark to market.

 

A U.S. shareholder of a PFIC may make a mark to market election for marketable PFIC stock. If the election is made, the shareholder includes in income each year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the PFIC stock as of the close of the tax year over the shareholder’s adjusted basis in the stock. Decreases in market value are allowed as deductions, within certain prescribed limits.

 

  43  

 

 

Generally, under the mark to market election, the general PFIC rules under the excess distribution method and QEF method do not apply. However, if the mark to market election is made after a U.S. shareholder has maintained its investment, there are provisions that ensure that the interest charge on amounts attributable to periods before the election is not avoided.

Item 10. I Subsidiary Information

 

On February 26, 2015, the Company incorporated two wholly-owned subsidiaries, 27 Red Capital Inc. (“27 Red”) and 4 Touchdowns Capital Inc. (“4 Touchdowns”).

 

On April 30, 2015, the Company entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) (see Exhibit 12 – Incorporated by reference) with 27 Red (“Spinco1”) and 4 Touchdowns (“Spinco2”).

 

At the Company’s annual and special meeting which was held on June 4, 2015 (see Exhibit 12 - Incorporated by reference), the Company’s shareholders passed all the resolutions presented including the re-election of the board of directors, re-appointment of the Company’s auditor, approval of the Company’s stock option plan, and the proposed Plan of Arrangement with 27 Red and 4 Touchdowns.

 

In respect to the Plan of Arrangement, the Company applied for an Interim Order which was granted on May 6, 2015 by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, and on June 12, 2015 the Company received the final court approval for the Plan of Arrangement.

 

  44  

 

 

The Company completed the Plan of Arrangement with 27 Red (Spinco 1) and 4 Touchdowns (Spinco 2). The effective date of the Arrangement was on February 12, 2016 (the “Effective Date”). Shareholders of record on the Effective Date received one new common share, one Class 1 Reorganization Share and one Class 2 Reorganization Share of the Company. On the Effective Date, and pursuant to the Arrangement, all of the Class 1 Reorganization Shares were automatically transferred by Shareholders to Spinco1 in exchange for 2,067,724 common shares of Spinco1 and issued to Shareholders on a pro rata basis (resulting in one common share of Spinco1 being issued for every one Class 1 Reorganization Share). Immediately following this, the Company redeemed all of the Class 1 Reorganization Shares by the transfer to Spinco1 of $20,677 and a promissory note in the principal amount of $20,677. The promissory note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand. The redemption of shares was distributed to the shareholders’ of 27 Red as a capital distribution and recorded as a dividend.

 

Furthermore on the Effective Date, all of the Class 2 Reorganization Shares were automatically transferred by Shareholders to Spinco2 in exchange for 2,067,724 common shares of Spinco2 and issued to Shareholders on a pro rata basis (resulting in one common share of Spinco2 being issued for every one Class 2 Reorganization Share). Immediately following this, the Company redeemed all of the Class 2 Reorganization Shares by the transfer to Spinco2 of $20,677 and a promissory note in the principal amount of $20,677. The promissory note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand. The redemption of shares was distributed to the shareholders’ of 4 Touchdowns as a capital distribution and recorded as a dividend.

 

A copy of the Arrangement Agreement is available on www.SEDAR.com.

 

As a result of the completion of the Arrangement, 27 Red and 4 Touchdowns are independent entities and are no longer subsidiaries of the Company.

 

On September 12, 2017, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with 27 Red whereby the Company provided certain consultancy and advisory services to 27 Red for a three month period (the “Term of the Agreement”). The fee paid by 27 Red to the Company was $18,188.65 for the Term of the Agreement (see Exhibit 10.16 – Incorporated by reference).

 

On October 12, 2017, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with 4 Touchdowns whereby the Company provided certain consultancy and advisory services to 4 Touchdowns for a three month period (the “Term of the Agreement”). The fee paid by 4 Touchdowns to the Company was $18,188.65 for the Term of the Agreement (see Exhibit 10.17 – Incorporated by reference).

 

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

 

  (a) Risk management overview

 

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of the above risks, the Company's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company's management of capital. The Company employs risk management strategies and policies to ensure that any exposure to risk is in compliance with the Company's business objectives and risk tolerance levels. While the Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the Company's risk management framework, the Company's management has the responsibility to administer and monitor these risks.

 

  45  

 

 

  (b) Fair value of financial instruments

 

The fair values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, refundable subscription, loan payable and convertible debentures approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

IFRS establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

 

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).

 

  (c) Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist of cash. The Company mitigates its exposure to credit loss associated with cash by placing its cash with a major financial institution.

 

  (d) Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they are due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due.

 

At December 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $9 (2019 - $38) available to apply against short-term business requirements and current liabilities of $1,337,235 (2019 - $1,203,963). All of the current liabilities, are due within 90 days. Amounts due to related parties are due on demand. As of December 31, 2020, three convertible debentures are in default, and the loan payable and the refundable subscription are due on demand. Liquidity risk is assessed as high.

 

  (e) Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates, will affect the Company's net earnings or the value of financial instruments. As at December 31, 2020, the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk, currency risk or other price risk on its financial assets and liabilities due to the short-term maturity of its financial liabilities and fixed interest rate on the convertible debentures.

 

ITEM 12. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES

 

As at the date of this Annual Report, the Company has three Convertible Debentures totalling the principal amount of $300,000 plus accrued interest which have matured and are payable on demand, and one Convertible Debenture in the amount of $50,000 which has been extended indefinitely (see Exhibits 10.14 & 10.15 – Incorporated by reference). Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2020, the amount of $50,000 was settled pursuant to a shares for debt agreement (see Exhibit 10.20*-Attached).

 

ITEM 13. DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES

 

Except for outstanding loans, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and three convertible debentures totalling the principal amount of $300,000 plus accrued interest which have matured and are payable on demand, and one Convertible Debenture in the amount of $50,000 which has been extended indefinitely, the Company is not in default in the payment of principal, interest, sinking fund instalment or any other default with respect to any other indebtedness of the Company. Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2020, the convertible debenture in the amount of $50,000 was settled pursuant to a shares for debt agreement (see Exhibit 10.20*-Attached).

 

  46  

 

 

ITEM 14. MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

There have been no changes in the constituent instruments defining the rights of holders of common stock and no issuance of any other securities that has modified the rights of holders of common stock.

 

Use of Proceeds from Offering

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures [(as defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d -15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)] as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20-F. Based on such evaluation, they have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms.

 

b) MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING. Our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, they used the criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective may not prevent or detect misstatements and can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

 

c) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS. There were no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could affect these controls subsequent to the date of evaluation by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the shareholders and the board of directors of -37 Capital Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of 37 Capital Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the statements of comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated revenues since inception, has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matter

 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

 

Critical Audit Matter How the Matter was Addressed in the Audit

Assessment of Mineral property interests for potential impairment indicators

 

As described in Note 4 to the financial statements, management reviews and evaluates the net carrying value of mineral property interests for impairment upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If deemed necessary based on this review and evaluation, management performs a test for impairment.

 

In its review and evaluation, management determined that there were no indicators that the carrying amount of mineral property interests, which has a carrying value of $40,001 as of December 31, 2020, may not be recoverable.

We identified the assessment of unproved mineral properties for potential impairment indicators as a critical audit matter due to the materiality of the balance, the high degree of auditor judgment and an increased level of effort when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s assumptions in determining whether indicators of impairment are present.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

 

• Evaluation of the Company’s identification of significant events or changes in circumstances.

 

• Discussion with management of future business plans for the mineral property interests.

 

• Ensuring key assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

37 Capital Inc. (“37 Capital” or the “Company”) was incorporated on August 24, 1984 in British Columbia, Canada. The principal business of the Company is the acquisition and exploration of exploration and evaluation assets.

 

The shares of the Company trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “Exchange”) under the symbol “JJJ.X”, and trade on the OTC Pink tier of the OTC markets in the United States of America under the symbol “HHHEF”. The Company’s office is located at 400 – 570 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 3P1 and its registered office is located at 3200-650 West Georgia Street, Vancouver BC V6B 4P7.

 


On March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the coronavirus known as COVID-19. The expected impacts on global commerce are anticipated to be far reaching. To date there have been significant wide-spread adverse financial impact globally, and the movement of people and goods has become restricted. As the Company has no material operating income or cash flows, it is reliant on additional financing to fund ongoing operations. An extended disruption may affect the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing. As such, the Company may not be able to raise the required funds and may not be able to conduct exploration works on its mineral property interests in a timely manner. The impact on the economy and the Company is not yet determinable; however, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in future periods may be materially affected. In particular, there may be heightened risk of asset impairment and liquidity thus creating further going concern uncertainty.

 

2. GOING CONCERN

 

These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a "going concern", which assumes 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 operations.

 

Several adverse conditions cast substantial doubt on the validity of this assumption. The Company has incurred significant losses over the past three fiscal years. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $27,195,318 a working capital deficiency of $1,336,664 and is in default of its convertible debentures. As the Company has limited resources and no sources of operating cash flow, there can be no assurances whatsoever that sufficient funding will be available for the Company to continue operations for an extended period of time.

 

The application of the going concern concept is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise sufficient funding to pay creditors and to satisfy its liabilities as they become due. Management is actively engaged in the review and due diligence on opportunities of merit and is seeking to raise the necessary capital to meet its funding requirements. There can be no assurance whatsoever that management’s plan will be successful.

 

If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements then adjustments may be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used. Such adjustments could be material.

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

  (a) Statement of compliance

 

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (“IFRIC”).

 

  (b) Basis of presentation

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value.

 

In addition, these financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis, except for cash flow information. These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

 

  (c) Approval of the financial statements

 

These financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on April 30, 2021.

 

  (d) Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts in these financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no net effect on the results of operations or financial position for any period presented.

 

  (e) Use of estimates and judgments

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the actual results. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

 

The key area of judgment applied in the preparation of the financial statements that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities is as follows:

 

  assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that give rise to significant uncertainty;

 

  classification/allocation of expenses as exploration and evaluation expenditures or operating expenses; and

 

  determination whether there have been any events or changes in circumstances that indicate the impairment of its exploration and evaluations assets.

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

 

The key estimates applied in the preparation of the financial statements that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are as follows:

 

  The recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets;

 

  The provision for income taxes and recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities; and

 

  The inputs in determining the liability and equity components of the convertible debentures.

 

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The significant accounting policies of the Company include the following:

 

  (a) Financial instruments

 

  (i) Recognition and classification

 

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories:

  At fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”): cash

 

  At fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”)

 

  Amortized cost: accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, refundable subscription, loan payable and convertible debentures

 

The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or if the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.

 

  (ii) Measurement

 

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.

 

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL

Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statements of comprehensive loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the statements of comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Debt investments at FVTOCI

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive loss (“OCI”). On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

 

Equity investments at FVTOCI

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

 

  (iii) Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost

 

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in the statements of comprehensive loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.

 

  (iv) Derecognition

 

Financial assets

The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity.

 

Financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when the terms of the liability are modified such that the terms and / or cash flows of the modified instrument are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

 

Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss.

 

  (b) Mineral property interests

 

Costs directly related to the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of resource properties are capitalized once the legal rights to explore the resource properties are acquired.

 

If it is determined that capitalized acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs are not recoverable, or the property is abandoned or management has determined impairment in value, the property is written down to its recoverable amount.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

From time to time, the Company acquires or disposes of properties pursuant to the terms of option agreements. Options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee, and accordingly, are recorded as mineral property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received. After costs are recovered, the balance of the payments received is recorded as a gain on option or disposition of mineral property.

 

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources are demonstrable, mineral property interests attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining property and development assets within property and equipment. To date, none of the Company’s mineral property interests has demonstrated technical feasibility and commercial viability. The recoverability of the carrying amount of any mineral property interests is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation or, alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.

 

  (c) Impairment

 

At the end of each reporting period, the Company’s assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets may be impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

 

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

  (d) Decommissioning liabilities

 

An obligation to incur decommissioning and site rehabilitation costs occurs when environmental disturbance is caused by exploration, evaluation, development or ongoing production.

 

Decommissioning and site rehabilitation costs arising from the installation of plant and other site preparation work, discounted to their net present value, are provided when the obligation to incur such costs arises and are capitalized into the cost of the related asset. These costs are charged against operations through depreciation of the asset and unwinding of the discount on the provision.

 

Depreciation is included in operating costs while the unwinding of the discount is included as a financing cost. Changes in the measurement of a liability relating to the decommissioning or site rehabilitation of plant and other site preparation work are added to, or deducted from, the cost of the related asset. The costs for the restoration of site damage, which arises during production, are provided at their net present values and charged against operations as extraction progresses.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Changes in the measurement of a liability, which arise during production, are charged against operating profit. The discount rate used to measure the net present value of the obligations is the pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. To date the Company does not have any decommissioning liabilities.

 

  (e) Income taxes

 

Income tax expense consisting of current and deferred tax expense is recognized to profit or loss. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period-end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regard to previous years.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities and the related deferred income tax expense or recovery are recognized for deferred tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that substantive enactment occurs.

 

A deferred tax asset is recognized 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.

 

  (f) Share-based payments

 

The Company grants stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The fair value of share-based payments to employees is measured at grant date, using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, and is recognized over the vesting period using the graded method. Fair value of share-based payments for non-employees is recognized and measured at the date the goods or services are received based on the fair value of the goods or services received. If it is determined that the fair value of goods and services received cannot be reliably measured, the share-based payment is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

 

For both employees and non-employees, the fair value of share-based payments is recognized as either an expense or as mineral property interests with a corresponding increase in option reserves. The amount to be recognized as expense is adjusted to reflect the number of share options expected to vest. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded in capital stock and the related share-based payment is transferred from the stock option reserve to capital stock. For unexercised options that expire, the recorded value is transferred to deficit.

 

  (g) Convertible debentures

 

The liability component of convertible debentures is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have a conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially, as the difference between the fair value of the convertible debenture as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Transaction costs are allocated to

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of the convertible debenture is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition.

 

  (h) Loss per share

 

Loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common shares of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating diluted loss per share. Under this method, the dilutive effect on earnings per share is calculated on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds of such exercise would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. However, the calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be anti-dilutive.

 

  (i) Capital stock

 

Proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants are recorded as capital stock. The proceeds from the issuance of units of the Company are allocated between common shares and warrants based on the residual value method. Under this method, the proceeds are allocated first to capital stock based on the fair value of the common shares at the time the units are issued and any residual value is allocated to the warrants. When the warrants are exercised, the related value is transferred from the warrant reserve to capital stock. For unexercised warrants that expire, the recorded value is transferred from the warrant reserves to deficit.

 

  (j) Foreign currency translation

 

Amounts recorded in foreign currency are translated into Canadian dollars as follows:

 

  (i) Monetary assets and liabilities, at the rate of exchange in effect as at the balance sheet date;

 

  (ii) Non-monetary assets and liabilities, at the exchange rates prevailing at the time of the acquisition of the assets or assumption of the liabilities; and

 

  (iii) Revenues and expenses (excluding amortization, which is translated at the same rate as the related asset), at the rate of exchange on the transaction date.

 

Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss in the period which they arise.

 

  (k) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective

 

At the date of the approval of the financial statements, a number of standards and interpretations were issued but not effective. The Company considers that these new standards and interpretations are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded interest expense of $30,000 (2019 - $30,000). As of December 31, 2020, $250,000 of the convertible debentures are outstanding and are past due plus accrued interest of $179,589 (2019 - $149,589). These convertible debentures are in default.

 

Convertible Debentures Financing 2013

 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued several convertible debentures for a total amount of $975,000. The convertible debentures have a maturity date of 18 months from the date of closing, and bear interest at the rate of 15% per annum payable on a quarterly basis. The convertible debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $1.50 per share. The liability component of the convertible debenture was recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability with no equity conversion option, which was calculated based on the application of a market interest rate of 20%. The difference between the $975,000 face value of the debentures and the fair value of the liability component was recognized in equity. On the initial recognition of the convertible debentures, the amount of $913,072 has been recorded under convertible debentures and the amount of $61,928 has been recorded under the equity portion of convertible debentures.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded interest expense of $15,000 (2019 - $15,000).

In respect to the Office Lease Agreement, effective as of May 1, 2018, Jackpot and the Company entered into an amending agreement whereby the Company shall have no further responsibilities, obligations or commitments in respect to the Office Lease Agreement. Under the amending agreement, the Company is required to pay a monthly rent of $1,000 plus applicable taxes to Jackpot, and either Jackpot or the Company may terminate this agreement by giving each other a three months’ notice in writing.

15. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

 

The Company considers its capital to be comprised of stockholders’ deficiency and convertible debenture.

 

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain adequate levels of funding to support the acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, the development of mineral properties, to invest in non-mining related projects and to maintain the necessary corporate and administrative functions to facilitate these activities. This is done primarily through equity and debt financing. Future financings are dependent on market conditions and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise funds in the future. There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

 

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

 

  (a) Risk management overview

 

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of the above risks, the Company's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company's management of capital. The Company employs risk management strategies and policies to ensure that any exposure to risk is in compliance with the Company's business objectives and risk tolerance levels. While the Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the Company's risk management framework, the Company's management has the responsibility to administer and monitor these risks.

 

  (b) Fair value of financial instruments

 

The fair values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, refundable subscription, loan payable and convertible debentures approximate their

carrying values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

IFRS establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

 

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).

 

  (c) Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist of cash. The Company mitigates its exposure to credit loss associated with cash by placing its cash with a major financial institution.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

 

  (d) Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they are due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due.

 

At December 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $9 (2019 - $38) available to apply against short-term business requirements and current liabilities of $1,337,235 (2019 - $1,203,963). All of the current liabilities, are due within 90 days. Amounts due to related parties are due on demand. As of December 31, 2020, three convertible debentures are in default, and the loan payable and the refundable subscription are due on demand. Liquidity risk is assessed as high.

 

  (e) Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates, will affect the Company's net earnings or the value of financial instruments. As at December 31, 2020, the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk, currency risk or other price risk on its financial assets and liabilities due to the short-term maturity of its financial liabilities and fixed interest rate on the convertible debentures.

 

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

  (a) On January 4, 2021, a total of 500,000 share purchase warrants exercisable at $0.135 per share expired unexercised (Note 11).

 

  (b) On January 15, 2021, Company issued 400,000 flow-through units for proceed of $200,000. Each flow-through unit consists of one flow-through common share of the Company and one non-flow-through share purchase warrant to acquire one non-flow-through common share of the Company at a price of $0.10 for a period of two years.

 

  (c) On January 25, 2021, the Company issued 14,787,030 common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.05 per common share in settlement of debts totaling the amount of $739,351.50 to certain creditors, including to a related party and a director and officer of the Company.

Risks related to our Business

 

The Company, and the securities of the Company, should be considered a highly speculative investment. The following risk factors should be given special consideration when evaluating an investment in any of the Company's securities:

 

  • The Company does not anticipate to generate any revenue in the foreseeable future. In the event that the Company generates any revenues in the future, then the Company intends to retain its earnings in order to finance growth.
  • There are a number of outstanding securities and agreements pursuant to which common shares of the Company may be issued in the future. This will result in further dilution to the Company's shareholders.
  • Governmental regulations, including those regulations governing the protection of the environment, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, mine safety and other matters, could have an adverse impact on the Company.
  • Trading in the common shares of the Company may be halted or suspended or may be subject to cease trade orders at any time and for any reason, including, but not limited to, the failure by the Company to submit documents to the Regulatory Authorities within the required time periods.
  • The exploration of mineral properties involves significant risks which even experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to avoid. The prices of metals have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years as it is affected by numerous factors which are beyond the Company’s control including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation or deflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rate fluctuations, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction methods. The effect of these factors on the price of metals, and therefore the economic viability of the Company’s interests in mineral exploration properties cannot be accurately predicted. Furthermore, changing conditions in the financial markets, and Canadian Income Tax legislation may have a direct adverse impact on the Company’s ability to raise funds for its interests in mineral exploration properties. A drop in the availability of equity financings will likely impede spending on mineral properties. As a result of all these significant risks, it is quite possible that the Company may lose its investments in the Company’s interest in the Extra High Property and the Acacia Property.
  • Due to the current difficult market conditions for junior mineral exploration companies, the Company may not be able to raise sufficient funds to meet its ongoing obligations.
  • The Company has outstanding debts, has working capital deficiency, has no revenues, has incurred operating losses, and has no assurances whatsoever that sufficient funding can be available for the Company to continue its operations uninterruptedly.
  • In respect to the Company’s investment in the Mexican gaming company, there are no assurances whatsoever that in the future the Company can recover its investment or that the Company can receive any royalty revenues.
  • The market price of the Company’s common shares has experienced considerable volatility and may continue to fluctuate in the future. Furthermore, there is a limited trading market for the Company’s common shares and as such, the ability of investors to sell their shares cannot be assured.
  • In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the coronavirus known as COVID-19. The expected impacts on global commerce are anticipated to be far reaching. To date there have been significant wide-spread adverse financial impact globally, and the movement of people and goods has become restricted. As the Company has no material operating income or cash flows, it is reliant on additional financing to fund ongoing operations. An extended disruption may affect the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing. As such, the Company may not be able to raise the required funds and may not be able to conduct exploration works on its mineral property interests in a timely manner. The impact on the economy and the Company is not yet determinable; however, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in future periods may be materially affected. In particular, there may be heightened risk of asset impairment and liquidity thus creating further going concern uncertainty.

In the past, the Company has been successful in securing equity and debt financings in order to conduct its operations uninterruptedly. While the Company does not give any assurances whatsoever that in the future it will continue being successful in securing equity and/or debt financings in order to conduct its operations uninterruptedly, it is the Company’s intention to pursue these methods for future funding of the Company.

The convertible debentures matured on January 6, 2016, and bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum payable on a quarterly basis. The convertible debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.30 per share. The liability component of the convertible debentures was recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability with no equity conversion option, which was calculated based on the application of a market interest rate of 20%. On the initial recognition of the convertible debentures, the amount of $222,006 was recorded under convertible debentures and the amount of $27,994 has been recorded under the equity portion of convertible debenture reserve.

The convertible debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $1.50 per share. The liability component of the convertible debenture was recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability with no equity conversion option, which was calculated based on the application of a market interest rate of 20%.

On the initial recognition of the convertible debentures, the amount of $913,072 has been recorded under convertible debentures and the amount of $61,928 has been recorded under the equity portion of convertible debentures.

 

Pursuant to the financing, the Company made cash payments of $48,000 and issued 2,000 common shares of the Company and 3,333 agent warrants of the Company with fair value of $8,115 as finders’ fees.

The amount of transaction costs directly attributable to the financing of $56,115 were allocated to the liability and equity components of the debenture proportionately at $52,551 and $3,564, respectively. The discount on the debentures is being accreted such that the liability component will equal the face value of the debentures at maturity plus accrued interest.

Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Annual Audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (“IFRIC”).

 

  81  

 

 

The Significant Accounting Policies are detailed in Note 4 of the Company’s Annual Audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 which supersedes IAS 17 Leases (“IAS 17”). The Company has applied the new standard using the modified retrospective approach with no restatement of comparative periods. There were no adjustments to retained earnings as a result of adoption. The Company has elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the Company relied on its previous assessment made under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease. The definition of a lease under IFRS 16 was applied only to contracts entered into or modified on or after January 1, 2019.

 

On transition to IFRS 16, the Company did not recognize any lease assets or liabilities as its operating leases had a remaining term of less than 12 months from the date of initial application.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Trends

 

During the last several years commodity prices have fluctuated significantly, and should this trend continue or should commodity prices remain at current levels, then companies such as 37 Capital will have difficulty in raising funds and/or acquiring mineral properties of merit at reasonable prices.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

The Company shares office space and certain employees with Jackpot, a company related by certain common key management personnel.

 

During April 2017, the Company together with Jackpot, a related company with common directors, entered into an office lease agreement with an arm’s length party (the “Office Lease Agreement”). The Office Lease Agreement had a three-year term with a commencement date of August 1, 2017. The Company’s share of the office basic rent and operating costs was $28,800 plus applicable taxes per annum. In respect to the Office Lease Agreement, effective as of May 1, 2018, Jackpot and the Company entered into an amending agreement whereby the Company shall have no further responsibilities, obligations or commitments in respect to the Office Lease Agreement. Under the amending agreement, the Company is required to pay a monthly rent of $1,000 plus applicable taxes to Jackpot, and either Jackpot or the Company may terminate this agreement by giving each other a three months’ notice in writing.

 

As at December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the amounts due to related parties are unsecured, payable on demand which consist of the following:

The convertible debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.30 per share.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of the above risks, the Company's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company's management of capital. The Company employs risk management strategies and policies to ensure that any exposure to risk is in compliance with the Company's business objectives and risk tolerance levels. While the Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the Company's risk management framework, the Company's management has the responsibility to administer and monitor these risks.

The fair values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

  (c) Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

 

The financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist of cash. The Company mitigates its exposure to credit loss associated with cash by placing its cash with a major financial institution.

 

  (d) Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they are due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due.
