World Evens - Impact on the Business

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to COVID-19. The current and expected impacts on global commerce are anticipated to be far reaching. To date there has been significant volatility in the stock market and in commodity and foreign exchange markets.

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while there has been no significant financial impact for the Company as at the approval date of these financial statements, it is not possible to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, on future periods.

In March 2022, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict proceeded to further disrupt the world, leading to additional volatility in commodity and foreign exchange markets. There is no known end to this conflict and a potential impact on future periods cannot be predicted.

Financial and Capital Risk Management

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

The carrying value of cash and equivalents, receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of short term investments and marketable securities was $3,079,469 at August 31, 2022 (2021 - $2,471,200), which are level 1 fair value measurements.

Financial Risk Factors

The Company's Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework.

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities, the carrying value totalling $3,508,142, represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments is remote because cash and equivalents and short-term investments are held with reputable Canadian financial institutions. Receivables consist mainly of GST and interest. The Company does not consider any of its current receivables past due. The Company believes any credit risk associated with its receivables is low due to the historical success of collecting receivables
