On November 1, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with First Bitcoin Capital Corp. (“FBCC”), a global developer of blockchain-based applications, to design and develop a blockchain-powered supply chain management platform for the oil and gas industry to be marketed to oil and gas producers and operators. On January 8, 2018, the Company paid the first instalment of $100,000 which had been applied to operating costs incurred by Petrobloq, LLC related to an office lease beginning March 1, 2018 and research costs related to payments to the development team consisting of four employees. During the year ended August 31, 2019, the Company incurred a further $152,500 in costs related to the agreement and on September 6, 2019, the Company issued 250,000 common shares, valued at $75,000 to FBCC as a final settlement of the agreement.


Due to the cash constraints facing First Bitcoin Capital and management’s assessment of its future viability, the full value of the investment was impaired at May 31, 2020.
