Item 1. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Company Overview
Naqi Logix Inc. ("Naqi" or "the Company") was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on August 4, 2020. The Company corporate office is located at 200 Granville St. #2820 c/o Fehr & Associates, Vancouver, BC V6C 1S4, Canada.
The Company engages in the business of (i) developing the Naqi Earbuds, smart earbuds that will enable users to control their Internet of Things ("IoT") environment without looking at, speaking to or touching the devices being controlled, and the Naqi Framework, which enables original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") of wearable devices to create user interfaces that are capable of discreet and inconspicuous user input and navigation; (ii) commercializing the Naqi Earbuds and Naqi Framework; (iii) developing and licensing Naqi Earbud and Naqi Framework integrations into common information systems, such as residential and commercial IoT systems and potentially leading gaming systems; and (iv) developing and licensing Naqi Operator Vigilance and Naqi Wheelchair Control applications.
During the six months ended December 31, 2023 the Company prequalified for a CAD$1.1 million grant by Innovative Solutions Canada (ISC). Through this ISC contract, the Company will receive up to CAD $1.1 million to test and validate its neural earbuds and support early development for commercialization. ISC has matched the Company with Shared Services Canada (SSC) to evaluate the technology's compatibility with federal government IT services, including accessibility features for employees. As at December 31, 2023 the Company has received Can$384,987 (US$285,175).
Results from Operations for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
| | Six months ended December 31, | |
| | 2023 | | | 2022 | |
| | | | | | |
Consulting fees and salaries | | 558,979 | | | 417,643 | |
Research and development ("R&D") expenses | | 443,551 | | | 330,318 | |
Share-based compensation | | 112,582 | | | 127,401 | |
Professional fees | | 200,813 | | | 20,611 | |
Other loss | | 172,590 | | | 144,715 | |
Net loss | | 1,488,515 | | | 1,040,688 | |
Since inception, we have not generated any revenues from planned operations.
For the six month period ended December 31, 2023, we reported a net loss of $1,488,515 ($0.03 loss per share) compared to a net loss of $1,040,688 ($0.04 loss per share) for the six month period ended December 31, 2022.
Consulting fees and salaries
Consulting fees and salaries for the six month period ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $558,979 and $417,643 respectively. The increase was due to additional external business development consultants that were engaged.
R&D expenses
R&D expenses of $443,551 were incurred during the six month period ended December 31, 2023, compared with $330,318 incurred during the six month period ended December 31, 2022. The increase in R&D expenses in the current period is due to the company increasing its R&D efforts in order to advance its project and commence different applications. The 2023 amount is net of a total of $285,175 received under the ISC program.
Share-based compensation
Share-based compensation for the six month periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $112,582 compared to $127,401, respectively. The decrease in share based compensation is due to the immediate vesting clause for Board of Directors options, which were granted in December 2021.
Professional fees
Professional fees of $200,813 were incurred during the six month period ended December 31, 2023, compared with $20,611 incurred during the six month period ended December 31, 2022. The increase in professional fees in the current period is primarily attributable to audit fees as the company went through its first audit as well as due to legal fees as the company continues to obtain patents for its product.
Other expenses
Other expenses incurred during the six month period ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $172,590 and $144,715, respectively. The increase is primarily related to marketing expenditures, including travel and conferences related to market its technology.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at December 31, 2023, the Company had $892,124 in cash, as well as $25,257 in restricted cash. Currently, the Company's working capital requirements are approximately $230,000 per month. To date, in order to fund its ongoing operations, the Company has completed the following issuances of Common Shares:
- On June 30, 2023 and December 30, 2023, the Company issued 2,077,069 Common Shares pursuant to a private placement at an offering price of $2.00 per share. The aggregate gross proceeds were approximately $4,154,155.
The Company's total capital as at December 31, 2023, which reflects the above transactions, is set forth in the table below.
| As at December 31, 2023 |
| ($) |
Cash | 892,124 |
Net cash | 892,124 |
Total accumulated deficit | (8,690,211) |
Total accumulated deficit | (8,690,211) |
On October 29, 2021, the Company commenced a non-brokered private placement of up to $1,500,000 principal amount of convertible notes (the "Notes"). The Company has issued $1,060,050 of convertible notes as of December 31, 2022. Simple interest will accrue on the principal amount of the Notes at 8% per annum. The Notes, plus any accrued interest payable, shall automatically be converted into units ("Units") of the Company.
Each Unit consists of one Common Share and one warrant, exercisable into an additional Common Share (the "Warrants"). Conversion of the Units will occur at such time as the Company completes a subsequent equity offering involving an issuance of Common Shares ("Subsequent Financing"). This Offering would constitute a Subsequent Financing. The conversion price for the Common Share component of the Note will be at a 20% discount to the Subsequent Financing price, which under this Offering is $2.00, thereby resulting in a conversion price of $1.60 per Common Share.
Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase an additional Common Share at a price that is at a 20% premium ("Warrant Exercise Price") to the Subsequent Financing price for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance of the Warrants, which shall be the closing date of the Subsequent Financing. Based on the terms of this Offering, the Warrants would be priced at $2.40 per Warrant. In the event the Company completes a going public transaction and the Common Shares trade at a 75% premium to the Warrant Exercise price (reflecting a share price of $4.20) for a period of 30 trading days, then the Warrants will automatically be exercised into Common Shares.
On June 30, 2023 the Company converted the notes in to units issuing a total of 728,579 units as it completed an offering of over $1,000,000.
On June 30, 2023 the Company completed the first closing of the Regulation A+ financing, and issued 1,451,452 shares at a price of $2.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $2,792,214 and issuance costs of 206,299, including the issuance of shares to settle certain invoices $110,690.
On December 30, 2023, the Company completed the second closing of thre Regulation A+ financing, and issued 625,617 shares at a price $2.00 per share for gross proceeds of $1,251,234 and issuance cost of $62,157.
Since the Company has not commenced revenue generating operations, we may require additional capital for the development of its business operations and commercialization of the products it is currently developing or may develop in the future. The Company may not have adequate capital to fund our business and may need substantial additional funding to continue operations. The Company may not be able to raise capital when needed, if at all, which would force it to delay, reduce or eliminate its product development programs or commercialization efforts and could cause its business to fail."
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures. Since inception, the Company has devoted its resources to funding R&D programs, including securing intellectual property rights and licenses, conducting research and development, and providing administrative support to R&D activities, which has resulted in an accumulated deficit of $8.7 million as of December 31, 2023.
The Company is a development stage company and does not earn any revenues. Accordingly, it is dependent on the external sources of capital as its sole source of operating working capital. The continuation of research and development activities is dependent upon its ability to successfully raise additional capital through debt, equity, or other sources of financing. Such financings may not be possible on terms acceptable to the company, or at all.
Cash Position
As at December 31, 2023, we had a cash balance of $892,124, compared to $1,284,424 at June 30, 2023 and working capital deficit was $367,726 at December 31, 2023, compared to working capital deficit of $52,407 at June 30, 2023.
As we continue to develop and have not begun generating revenue from the sale of our products and services, we have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since incorporation, and we expect such losses and negative cash flows to continue in the foreseeable future. As at December 31, 2022, the Company had negative working capital of $367,726 and a cumulative loss since inception of $8,690,211. As a result, our continuance as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate financing and to reach profitable levels of operation upon commercialization of our products and services. It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful or if we will attain profitable levels of operations. Management believes it will be successful in raising the necessary funding to continue operations in the normal course of operations, however, there is no assurance that funds will continue to be available on acceptable terms or at all. Our financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should we be unable to continue operations and such adjustments could be material
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Going Concern
These condensed interim financial statements of the Company for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 ("financial statements") have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business.
As at December 31, 2023, the Company has not generated any revenue, has an accumulated deficit and expects to incur further losses in the development of the business. These factors indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As a result, the Company may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain necessary financing to meet its corporate expenditures and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Although the Company was successful in obtaining financing during prior periods, there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous or acceptable to the Company.
Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, asset realization values may be substantially different from their carrying values. These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to carrying values, and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed interim consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB') and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"), including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 1-K for the year ended June 30, 2023.
Subsequent events
Subsequent to December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 2,490,587 shares for $2.49. The shares were returned to treasury and cancelled.
Trend Information
We are currently developing the Naqi Earbuds and Naqi Framework and have not commenced revenue-generating operations. Accordingly, we are unable to identify any significant recent trends in production, sales and inventory, costs, and selling prices, and, except as set forth below, we are unable to identify any known trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our future net sales or revenues, income from continuing operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause reported financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.
Our financial success will be dependent upon our ability to continue the research and development of the Naqi Earbuds and the Naqi Framework, which ability is, in turn, dependent on our liquidity and capital resources that will be available to fund such development and continuous research. Our liquidity and capital resources may vary substantially from period to period depending on a number of factors, including, without limitation, the number of research and development programs being undertaken at any one time, the stage of the development programs, and the availability of funding.

1. Nature of operations and going concern

Going concern uncertainty
These condensed interim financial statements of the Company for the six months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 ("financial statements") have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.
As at December 31, 2023, the Company has not generated any revenue, has an accumulated deficit and expects to incur further losses in the development of the business. These factors indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As a result, the Company may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain necessary financing to meet its corporate expenditures and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Although the Company was successful in obtaining financing during prior periods, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous or acceptable to the Company.
Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, asset realization values may be substantially different from their carrying values. These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to carrying values, and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.
The Company's corporate office is located at 200 Granville St. #2820 c/o Fehr & Associates, Vancouver, BC V6C 1S4, Canada.

10. Financial instruments
Classification of financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. These financial instruments are classified as financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost and are reported at amortized cost. The fair values of financial assets and liabilities approximate the carrying values due to their relatively short-term nature.
Financial and capital risk management
The Company thoroughly examines the various financial instruments and risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks include foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the determination of the Company's risk management objectives and policies. The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Company's competitiveness and flexibility.
Discussions of risks associated with financial assets and liabilities are detailed below:
a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The risk that the Company will realize a cash loss is limited as the Company's liabilities are either non-interest bearing or have fixed interest rates. The Company considers this risk to be low.
b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The Company considers credit risk with respect to its cash to be low as cash is held through large Canadian financial institutions.
c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is not able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows, as well as anticipated investing and financing activities. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities have contractual maturities of 30 days or are due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company has a working capital deficit of $367,726 as at December 31, 2023. Liquidity risk is assessed as high.
11. Grants
During the six months ended December 31, 2023 the Company prequalified for a CAD$1.1 million grant by Innovative Solutions Canada (ISC). Through this ISC contract, the Company will receive up to CAD $1.1 million to test and validate its neural earbuds and support early development for commercialization. ISC has matched the Company with Shared Services Canada (SSC) to evaluate the technology's compatibility with federal government IT services, including accessibility features for employees. As at December 31, 2023 the Company has received Can$384,987 (US$285,175). This amount has been recorded as a reduction of the research and development expenses.
12. Subsequent events
Subsequent to December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 2,490,587 shares for $2.49. The shares were returned to treasury and cancelled.
