1. REPORTING ENTITY
Klimat X Developments Inc. (formerly Earl Resources Limited) and its subsidiaries (“Klimat X” or the “Company”) is a carbon exploration and development company with global reach into jurisdictions with production potential from forestry and marine carbon sequestration projects.
Klimat X was incorporated under the British Columbia Companies Act as a Specialty Limited Company on November 21, 1963. In July 1998, the Company continued to the Cayman Islands. In February 2018, the Company continued back to British Columbia. Prior to the COB (as defined below), the Company’s principal business activities historically included acquiring options to explore and develop mineral properties internationally. From a period beginning in 2003 and ending on closing date of the COB (as defined below), the Company was inactive with limited operations, and its common shares (“Common Shares”) were listed on the NEX board of the TSXV (“NEX”) under the symbol “ERL.H”.
The head office and principal address of the Company is located at Suite 390, 1050 Homer Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6B 2W9, Canada.
On June 29, 2022, the Company completed its "Change of Business" transaction (the "COB"), as such term as defined in Policy 5.2 ("Policy 5.2") of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), which included the following:
-
the closing of the Guyana Transaction (Note 4a);
-
the closing of the Sierra Leone Transaction (Note 4b);
-
the closing of the Yucatan Transaction (Note 4c);
-
the closing of the Bridge Financing (Note 11c);
-
the completion of the Concurrent Financing (Note 11c); and
-
the completion of the Shares for Services Agreement (Note 11c).
In connection with completion of the COB, the Company also changed its name from “Earl Resources Limited” to “Klimat X Developments Inc.” and reconstituted the Board of Directors and management team.
On July 19, 2022, the Company received approval from the TSXV for its listing to be "reactivated" under the Policies of the TSXV and transferred from the NEX Board of the TSXV ("NEX") to the TSXV, and its Common Shares resumed trading on July 20, 2022, under the symbol "KLX" (the "Reactivation").
Following the acquisition of Pomeroon Trading (Holdings) Limited on June 29, 2022 (Note 4), the Company has the following subsidiaries, incorporated and/or formed, and consolidated in these financial statements as of March 31, 2023:
| as of March 31, 2023: | |

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND GOING CONCERN
a) Basis of presentation and going concern
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee. These Financial Statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. These Financial Statements are condensed as they do not include all of the information required by IFRS for annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period.
The Company has not yet generated income or cashflow from operations. As at March 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,345,506 (2022 - $2,318,750), and working capital of $776, 681 (December 31, 2022 - $1,748,828) and an accumulated deficit of $9,849,022 (December 31, 2022 - $9,029,834). For the period ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $886,895 (March 31, 2022 - $325,522) and negative cashflows from operations of $727,900 (2022 – 263,671). The Company will require additional financing, through various means including but not limited to equity financing, to continue with its carbon streaming programs and to meet its future obligations and administrative expenses. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising the additional required funds.
The above noted conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, to the reported expenses and to the financial position classifications that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was inappropriate. These adjustments could be material.
b) Basis of measurement, functional and presentation currency
These Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except certain financial instruments which are recorded at fair value, and using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
These Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars, Klimat X’s functional currency, unless otherwise indicated.

| Name of subsidiary | Functional currency |
| Pomeroon Trading (Holdings) Limited | US Dollars |
| Pomeroon Trading Inc. | Guyanese dollar |
| Pomeroon Suriname N.V | Surinamese dollar |

Use of estimates, judgements and assumptions
The preparation of these Financial Statements 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. These estimates and judgments are based on management’s best understanding of current events and actions that Klimat X may undertake in the future. Actual results may differ from these estimates and judgments. Estimates and their underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which estimates are revised and for any future years affected.
Significant estimates, judgements or assumptions used in these Financial Statements are outlined below:
Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in asset acquisition
The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed through asset acquisition, including measuring the fair value of the consideration, is estimated based on information available at the date of the acquisition. Estimates are used to determine the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and include quoted market prices and widely accepted valuation techniques.
Fair value of equity-settled share-based payments
The Company uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of equity-settled sharebased payments. Inputs to the model are subject to various estimates relating to volatility, interest rates, dividend yields and expected life of the units issued. Fair value inputs are subject to market factors as well as internal estimates. The Company considers historic trends together with any new information to determine the best estimate of fair value at the date of grant.
Accounting for and valuation of carbon credit streaming agreements
The Company from time to time will acquire carbon credit agreements. Each carbon credit agreement has its own unique terms and significant judgment is required to assess the appropriate accounting treatment. Significant estimates and assumptions in the fair value assessment are included in note 7.
Fair value of common shares
The Company completed three transactions on June 29, 2022 (Note 4). The measurement of the Company’s shares was required to determine the amounts recorded in the transactions. As the Company was not trading on that date there is judgment in determining the fair value of the share price on that date. The Company has determined that the fair value of the net assets best represents the fair value of the Company’s value at that date.
Income taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Estimates of Klimat X’s future taxable income are considered in assessing the utilization of available tax losses. The calculation of income taxes involves many complex factors including the interpretation of relevant tax legislation and an analysis of the amount of future taxable income.
Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is considered probable that deductible temporary differences will be recovered in the foreseeable future. To the extent that future taxable income and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction differ significantly from Klimat X’s estimate, the ability of Klimat X to realize the deferred tax assets could be impacted.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized when there are taxable temporary differences that will reverse and result in a future outflow of funds to a taxation authority. Klimat X records a provision for the amount that is expected to be settled, which requires judgment as to the ultimate outcome. Deferred tax liabilities
Klimat X Developments Inc. 8
==> picture [95 x 20] intentionally omitted <==
could be impacted by changes in the Company’s judgment of the likelihood of a future outflow and estimates of the expected settlement amount, timing of reversals, and the tax laws in the jurisdictions in which Klimat X operates.
Functional currency
The designation of the functional currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries is a judgment using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that the entity operates in.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently by Klimat X for all periods presented in these Financial Statements.
a) Adoption of new/amended accounting standards
In May 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to International Accounting Standard 41, Agriculture, (“IAS 41”) as part of its Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018– 2020. The amendment removes the requirement for an entity to exclude taxation cash flows when calculating the fair value of its biological assets. An entity is permitted to use post-tax cash flows and a post-tax rate to discount those cash flows. The amendment was effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.
Klimat X adopted the amendments to IAS 41 with the acquisition of PTHL as at December 31, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company.
b) Recent accounting pronouncements and/or future accounting standards
Certain accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on these Financial Statements.
4. CHANGE OF BUSINESS - ACQUISITIONS
On June 29, 2022, in connection with the Reactivation of its TSXV listing, Klimat X completed its previously announced COB (Note 1), which included the following acquisitions:
a) Guyana Transaction
On June 29, 2022, Klimat X acquired approximately 74% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Pomeroon Trading (Holdings) Limited (the “Guyana Transaction”), a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands having its principal leased asset in Guyana, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pomeroon Trading Inc. (together “PTHL”), in exchange for 9,915,625 Common Shares issued for total fair value of $1,399,298 and cash consideration of $981,300, pursuant to an agreement entered into with PTHL and certain shareholders on February 25, 2022 (“Guyana COB Agreement”). PTHL’s primary asset is a long-term land lease.

The Guyana COB Agreement also provides that the Company shall execute a right of first offer agreement, valid for a period of 12 months following closing of the transactions pursuant to the Guyana COB Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will agree with PTHL that, subject to one or more qualifying carbon credit project(s) being initiated by PTHL (to the satisfaction of the Company), the Company will make an offer to all remaining shareholders of PTHL to acquire all of their PTHL common shares at a price to be agreed, but which price shall be subject to a minimum of US$8.00 per share and subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, accepting that the consideration to be paid pursuant to any such acquisition shall be settled through the issuance of additional Common Shares (at a price calculated as the 30 day volume-weighted average price of Common Shares) unless otherwise mutually agreed between the Company and a remaining PTHL shareholder. No value was recorded for the right of first offer as it is not probable.
b) Sierra Leone Transaction
On June 29, 2022, Klimat X acquired an assignment of a minimum of 51% of the carbon credits to be generated by the operations of Rewilding Maforki Ltd. (“RML”) in Sierra Leone, pursuant to agreements entered into by the Company on February 25, 2022, in consideration for 7,500,000 Common Shares issued at a fair value of $0.14 per share (“RML Consideration Shares”) for consideration in the amount of $1,050,000 (the “Sierra Leone COB Agreement”) and the prepayment agreement between Klimat X, RML and Aristeus Projects Limited, as amended on June 24, 2022, to effect the transaction (“Sierra Leone Transaction”) and provide for the Advance (“Sierra Leone Prepayment Agreement”)) to Aristeus Projects Limited.
RML, an entity incorporated under the laws of Sierra Leone on November 15, 2021 (owned by the Company’s Director of Operations), has engaged chiefdoms in Sierra Leone located at Malal, Rokon, Gbonkohyeni and Maforay communities (together referred to as the “Maforki Project”) and has entered
Klimat X Developments Inc. 10
==> picture [95 x 20] intentionally omitted <==
into related multi-stakeholder agreements with such chiefdoms for approximately 25,000 hectares of land. RML has also entered into agreements between RML and the applicable landowners in Malal, Rokon, Gbonkohyeni and Maforay communities in Sierra Leone located at the Maforki Project (“Individual Landowner Agreements”) for approximately 8,000 hectares of land in Sierra Leone located at the Maforki Project.
Pursuant to the Sierra Leone Prepayment Agreement and for further consideration of the assignment of the future carbon credits, Klimat X has also agreed to advance in one or more advances for aggregate funds of up to US$750,000, comprising the fully committed portion of the Advance (“Initial Advance”), to RML in order to assist RML in the initial setup works and costs associated with the Maforki Project together with funding Eco Securities baseline and project design document reports required in assessing project viability. Klimat X, in its discretion, may also make one or more advances for aggregate funds of up to US$350,000, comprising the portion of the Advance to be advanced at the discretion of Klimat X (“Subsequent Advance”) to RML to further the Maforki Project.
Acquiring these rights was subject to the Sierra Leone Prepayment Agreement. As such, Klimat X recognized the US$1,195,000 ($1,572,468) of advances as acquisition cost during the year ended December 31, 2022.
c) Yucatan Transaction
On June 29, 2022, Klimat X acquired an assignment from Compania Mexicana de Captacion de Carbon (“CMCC”) of all CMCC’s rights and interests to develop and market carbon credits under CMCC’s existing contract with the Government of the State of Yucatan in Mexico in exchange for aggregate consideration of $50,000 (“Yucatan COB Agreement”), of which $25,000 was paid as a non-refundable deposit upon execution of the agreement and $25,000 was paid additionally as at December 31, 2022, which became due upon completion of the relisting requirements of Klimat X on July 19, 2022. The total consideration was recorded as business development consulting fee as the transaction has not closed as at December 31, 2022. The current agreement that CMCC has in place with the Government of Yucatan expires in February 2024, there is currently ongoing discussions to extend the agreement.
The assignment of the Yucatan Contract to Klimat X remains conditional upon approval of the Government of the State of Yucatan, Mexico (“Government Consent”).
Pursuant to the Yucatan Contract, CMCC has the right to 5% of the net value of the carbon credits successfully sold (or the equivalent to the final transaction price) resulting from the determination, development, execution, structuring, marketing, and selling of such as provided in the Yucatan Contract (the “Original Commission”). On June 29, 2022, the Company acquired 33% of the Original Commission assigned and payable to Klimat X on a go-forward basis, in consideration for 7,250,000 Common Shares issued at a fair value to Canvas Impact Advisors Ltd. (“Canvas”), a consulting firm owned by Dr. James Tansey (Company’s Chief Executive Officer).
Pursuant to a share repurchase agreement with Dr. James Tansey and Canvas dated June 6, 2022 (the “Share Repurchase Agreement”), the Company has the option to repurchase these Common Shares from Canvas at $0.01 per Common Share if Government Consent has not been obtained 120 days from the date of the agreement (Note 11d). On October 27, 2022, the repurchase options lapsed and the fair value of $1,050,000 was recorded as share based compensation and share capital for the year ended December 31, 2022.

revenues generated through the sale of timber and other biological assets produced from, or in connection with the project. The cost of acquisition was $898,269 (US$655,912). Following the initial acquisition, the Company invested an additional $270,756 (US$200,000) into the FMPL project.
Infinitum Energy PTE. Ltd (“IEG”)
On September 9, 2022, the Company entered into a carbon credit development agreement with Infinitum Energy PTE Ltd. IEG is in the process of developing a 1,000 t/day waste-to-energy facility in the greater Western Area of Sierra Leone. IEG and the Company believe that within operations of the Project, it may be possible to generate carbon credits from avoided methane emissions associated with the breakdown of biological materials in the waste stream, which may then allow the Project to become an originator of accredited voluntary carbon credits. KLX has agreed and provided IEG US$250,000 ($338,463) to fund the development activities of the Project by IEG and to determine whether KLX can generate Carbon Credits.
Fair Value
As at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, management has assessed that the fair value of the carbon credit streaming agreements approximates the cash and equity payments disbursed to the projects. The Company has determined that there has been no change in the fair value from the acquisition dates made.

11. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company's strategy is to carry a capital base to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of any identified business opportunities and to maintain a flexible capital structure for the benefit of its stakeholders.
Klimat X considers its capital structure to include working capital, debt, lease liabilities and shareholders’ equity (deficit).
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in the economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, enter into joint venture arrangements, acquire or dispose of assets and adjust capital and operating expenditures to manage its current and projected available capital.
The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather promotes year over year sustainable growth. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There has been no change with respect to the overall capital risk management strategy during the period ended March 31, 2023.
12. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
a) Share-based incentive programs and payment plans
The Company has the following share-based compensation and payment plans:
Stock option plan (equity-settled)
The Company has established a stock option plan (the “2010 Rolling Option Plan”), approved by the shareholders on November 10, 2010, whereby the Company may grant stock options from time to time, subject to regulatory terms and approval, to employees, officers, directors and service providers of the Company to recognize the contributions made by individuals to the Company’s growth and furnish an incentive to the future success and prosperity of the Company.
Klimat X Developments Inc. 17
==> picture [95 x 20] intentionally omitted <==
The 2010 Rolling Option Plan is based on the maximum number of eligible shares equaling a rolling percentage of up to 10% of the Company's outstanding Common Shares, calculated from time to time. Pursuant to the 2010 Rolling Option Plan, if outstanding stock options are exercised, or expired, and/or the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company increases, then the options available to grant under the plan increase proportionately. The exercise price of each option is set by the Board of Directors at the time of grant but cannot be less than the discounted market price, as calculated pursuant to the policies of the TSXV, or such other minimum price as may be required by the TSXV.
Stock options can have a maximum term of ten (10) years and typically terminate 90 days following the termination of the holder’s employment or engagement, except in the case of retirement or death. Vesting of options is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and determined at the time the options are granted.
Common shares issued in exchange for goods received/services rendered (equity-settled)
The Company may issue Klimat X Common Shares from time to time to service providers, vendors or consultants in exchange for services rendered to the Company, as determined by the Board of Directors.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial instruments
Klimat X’s financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and carbon credit streaming agreements.
Klimat X’s financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and debt (Note 9).
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturities of those instruments.
The Company’s debt is recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Financial risk management
Klimat X’s activities expose it to certain financial risks, including market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and carbon market risk.
Klimat X Developments Inc. 18
==> picture [95 x 20] intentionally omitted <==
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market conditions, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates will affect Klimat X’s net loss or the value of financial instruments.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.
Klimat X may manage its interest expenses using a mix of fixed and variable interest rates on its debt. Changes in interest rates could result in an increase or decrease in the amount the Company pays to service variable interest rate debt.
The interest rates on PTHL’s debt loans payable are fixed and not subject to interest rate risk.
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that future cash flows or the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Company is primarily exposed to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar and Guyanese dollar in relation to its foreign operations.
As such, a 1% change in the value of the U.S. dollar and Guyanese dollar would have had no material impact on the net loss and comprehensive loss of Klimat X at March 31, 2023.
Commodity price risk
The Company may be exposed to commodity price risk through the sale of its agricultural produce and biological assets and inventories held.
At March 31, 2023, the Company does not hold significant biological assets or inventories nor has it recognized significant revenue related to the sale of its agricultural produce.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial asset will default, resulting in Klimat X incurring a financial loss.
The Company’s accounts receivables are predominantly for PTHL customers and other partners who are subject to normal industry credit risks in Guyana. The Company assesses the creditworthiness of its customers on an ongoing basis as well as monitoring the amount and age of balances outstanding. Accordingly, the Company views the credit risks on these amounts as normal for the industry. The carrying amount of accounts receivable represents the maximum credit exposure on this balance.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure ECL. The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
As at March 31, 2023, trade account receivable was $127,817 (December 31, 2022 - $75,303). Payment terms with customers vary by contract; however, standard payment terms are 30 days from the invoice date. Any credits risk related to the accounts receivable will have an immaterial impact to the Company.
Klimat X held cash and cash equivalents of $1,345,506 at March 31, 2023, which represents its maximum credit exposure on these assets (December 31, 2022 - $2,318,750). The cash is held with major, high credit-quality financial institution counterparties and management believes credit risk is minimal.
Klimat X Developments Inc. 19
==> picture [95 x 20] intentionally omitted <==
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that Klimat X will be unable to fulfill its obligations associated with financial liabilities on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. The Company’s objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient available resources to meet its liquidity requirements at any point.
The Company is exposed to this risk mainly in respect of its accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease obligations and long-term debt.
Klimat X mitigates this risk through efforts to maintain the support of its lenders and through the issuance of additional capital, if required.
The Company has the following payments (gross amount, undiscounted) due within the period noted below:

405,884 | 8,066,935 | 10,558,786 |
Carbon market risk
Carbon market risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate from changes in market forces including, but not limited to, interest rates, voluntary carbon credit prices, foreign exchange, and timing and number of anticipated carbon credit deliveries and sales. There has been no change in fair value in the year for the carbon credit assets acquired.
