COMPANY OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK
ParcelPal Logistics Inc. is a Vancouver based company that specializes in last-mile delivery service and logistics solutions, providing businesses with a smart, reliable and affordable delivery
service powered by the Company’s licensed technology platform. The Company operates in major Canadian cities including Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto, and now in the western region of the United States.
ParcelPal’s business strategy started with hitting major urban centers. With success, the Company has decided to aim to launch in every major urban center in Canada while expanding regionally, in
parallel. ParcelPal initially operated in major urban centers in Vancouver, BC area and, subsequently, we have expanded throughout Canada. As a result of our marketing efforts, we have expanded across the entire lower mainland, offering same-day
delivery for select clients. In July, 2021, the Company opened its first warehouse in the Vancouver area. In September 2021, the Company expanded into the western United States with its first acquisition. The Company intends to continue to
diversify its client base and target large business to business clients as well as we further expand throughout the United States.
ParcelPal operates from its head office in Vancouver, British Columbia and our operations are currently managed from here. ParcelPal offers employment opportunities that support all functions of
technology and physical deliveries. ParcelPal currently has hundreds of employees, including the delivery team.
Forward Looking Growth and Business Strategies
ParcelPal plans to implement additional services for consideration of growing our client base and retaining existing customers. In addition to raising additional capital, we are also planning on
signing more small and medium enterprise clients for traditional courier services that are multi-city operational, and which are higher margin services that are also highly scalable. To execute this part of our strategy, we will need to open
additional dedicated warehouse facilities in which we can sort, ship and create more efficient delivery routes. This will also allow us to also be able to benefit from economies of scale as our operating costs will decrease significantly, leading
to better operating margins. With the recent capital raise that we have done, along with having an equity line of credit at our disposal, we have the resources and capital to execute on this plan This to both fund our operating expenses and the
concomitant warehousing and fleet costs associated with it.
The Company will increase monthly recurring revenue by continuously adding new merchants, delivery verticals and drivers to the platform. Monthly fees from merchants is part of ParcelPal’s plan
for additional revenue streams. In addition to ParcelPal’s current services, ParcelPal plans to implement additional services for consideration of growing the merchant’s business and retaining existing customers. ParcelPal has been working closely
with merchants to determine pricing strategies and service add-ons to further monetize the platform.
One of the Company’s priorities is to increase our footprint with Amazon and with other small and medium enterprise customers that have operations in major cities, in particular with respect to
last mile delivery services, which is our specialty. Other more profitable areas such as home-meal kit and large retail chain store deliveries are those which we will increasingly target. The Company has also moved into same and next day
prescription drug deliveries for nursing homes and expanding into the general population. We believe that these are the types of business services that are highly scalable and will strongly contribute to our profitability.
Revenue
The Company currently has one revenue stream which is through billable contracts such as Amazon.com Inc, FedEx Ground and other merchants.
GOING CONCERN
The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations in recent years. As a result of the foregoing, there is significant doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of
business for the foreseeable future. Whether and when the Company can attain profitability and positive cash flows is uncertain. The Company is working to expand its operations and it is expected that the Company’s liquidity will fluctuate as a
result of any expansion. The fee structure for the services offered by the Company is expected to remain constant for the foreseeable future.
The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon completing a short-term financing for sufficient working capital to maintain operations, reducing operating expenses,
increasing revenues and commencing profitable operations in the future. Risks that may materially affect the Company’s future performance include: the possibility of discontinuance of operations of the Company, the risk that the Company is unable
to find suitable investors for a financing, the risk that the Company will not be able to expand operations, and competition risks. The Company recognizes the threats posed by operating in an uncertain global economic environment. This uncertainty
may continue to impact the Company’s industry, resulting in a lower demand for some of its services and its partners’ products.
The Company is in its growth phase and it is expected that the Company will continue to incur losses until significant revenues are generated as management executes its business plan. The
Company began generating revenue in the period ending September 30, 2017;
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash balances and adjusting the operating budget and expenditures to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet
short-term and other specific obligations. The Company plans to control spending and prudently allocate financial resources to optimize value. The Company will seek additional financing through equity financings until the Company reaches
profitability. In order to increase sales, the Company intends to ensure that the service provided meets the needs of existing and potential customers and is competitively priced. The Company plans to continue to develop, innovate and continuously
improve current and new technologies in a timely and cost-effective manner. Management believes that the likelihood of completing these plans is high, and the Company has sufficient financial resources to meet its planned operations for the
foreseeable future.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The loss for the period ended September 30, 2021, was greater than comparative periods because the Company issued 13,000,000 common shares, fair valued at $1,430,000 in lieu of management fees.
Total assets at September 30, 2021 increased due to the acquisition of Trucking. Revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $270,242 higher than in the comparative period ended September 30, 2020, this is primarily because of an
increase in Amazon revenue, diversification of our customer base with the addition of numerous clients, and the Trucking acquisition ($117,979). Overall revenue decreased from the quarter ended December 31, 2020 but this was expected and is
consistent with past years as the year end quarters see increased Amazon demand. The Company continues to see year over year increases in total revenue and expects this to continue as it expands its non-Amazon client base.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company defines capital that it manages as its shareholders’ equity. When managing capital, the Company’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to
maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the development of a social
collaborative charting, news and communication platform for traders. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future
development of the business.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no changes to the
Company’s approach to capital management during the period ended June 30, 2023.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Classification of financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, loans receivable, accounts payable and lease obligations. The Company classifies cash, accounts receivable and loans
receivable as financial assets at amortized cost. Accounts payable and lease obligations are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost.
The Company 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. When material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.
Fair value
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of the three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair
values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
|
• |
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
|
|
• |
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
|
|
• |
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
|
The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost approximate their fair value due to their short term to maturity. Marketable securities are valued
using Level 2 inputs.
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves 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 financial loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s cash is held in large Canadian
financial institutions and is not exposed to significant credit risk.
Interest risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to limited
interest rate risk.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to
raise the required capital through future equity or debt issuances. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the directors are actively
involved in the review, planning, and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.
Foreign exchange risk
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian Dollar and major transactions are transacted in Canadian Dollars and US Dollars. The Company maintains a US Dollar bank account in Canada to
support the cash needs of its operations. Management believes that the foreign exchange risk related to currency conversion is minimal and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.
