CYPRESS DEVELOPMENT CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars) FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Cypress Development Corp. was incorporated pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Saskatchewan) on August 23, 1991. It is a publicly traded company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX.V”) under the symbol “CYP” and on the OTCQB market in the United States under the symbol “CYDVF”. The Company together with its subsidiary (collectively referred to as the “Company”) is principally engaged in the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of resource properties.
The head office and records office of the Company are located at Suite #1610 - 777 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The registered office is located at Suite #1710 - 1177 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The Company has not yet determined whether its properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The continued operations of the Company and the recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, and the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its properties and bring them to future profitable production. The Company does not generate cash flows from operations to fund its activities and therefore relies principally on the issuance of securities for financing. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to execute its business plan.
In the first quarter of 2021 the Company raised net proceeds of $18,067,154 through the issue of 15,640,000 equity units. The Company has working capital of $19,639,277 at September 30, 2021.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or ability to raise funds.
The Company intends to continue to rely upon the issuance of equity to finance its future activities but there can be no assurance that such financing will continue to be available on a timely basis at terms acceptable to the Company. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the “interim financial statements”) have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Although these interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the inability to secure future financing, such a situation would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards
These interim financial statements, which are presented in Canadian dollars, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB (“International Accounting Standards Board”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. They do not include all information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However selected notes are included to explain evens and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes and performance since the Company’s last annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont’d…)
(b) Basis of consolidation
These interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
(c) Accounting policies
The accounting policies, estimates and judgements, methods of computation and presentation followed in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual financial statements.
(d) Approval of financial statements
The Board of Directors approved these interim financial statements for issue on November 29, 2021.

5. INTANGIBLE ASSET
The Company entered into a share purchase and license agreement on July 5, 2021 for the acquisition of the equipment for its pilot plant and a license to use the Lionex direct lithium extraction (“DLE”) process to recover lithium from brines at the Company’s Clayton Valley, Nevada project. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired 100% ownership of a private company, 2845028 Ontario Inc., which owns certain pilot plant equipment (“Pilot Plant Equipment”) specific to the Lionex Process and a license to use the Lionex Process, for $350,000 and one million of the Company’s shares (“Consideration Shares”). The Company paid $350,000 to the vendors on receipt of the Pilot Plant Equipment and the Consideration Shares, following regulatory approval, were transferred into escrow. The purchase price grants full ownership of 2845028 Ontario Inc. to the Company with no further payment or royalty obligations for the use of the Lionex Process
The Company has twelve months following installation of the Pilot Plant Equipment to carry out performance tests to confirm the successful operation of the pilot plant and determine, in its absolute discretion, whether to release the Consideration Shares from escrow. In the event the Company determines not to release the Consideration Shares, 2845028 Ontario Inc. will revert to the sellers, the Consideration Shares will return to the Company and the $350,000 cash payment will be retained by the sellers.

Title to mineral properties
Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge; title to all of its properties is in good standing.
Claims

In 2016, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Glory Lithium Project in Clayton Valley, Nevada. To earn a 100% interest, the Company made US$162,500 in cash payments ($212,357) and issued 1,100,000 shares of the Company (issued at a fair value of $175,000).

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND 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 significance of inputs used in making fair value measurements are examined and classified according to a fair value hierarchy. Fair values of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are determined by reference to quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities in Level 2 include valuations using inputs other than quoted prices for which all significant outputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, and are based in valuation models and techniques where the inputs are derived from quoted indices. Level 3 valuations are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
Cash and marketable securities are carried at fair value using a Level 1 fair value measurement. The carrying value of receivables, due to/from related parties and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Financial risk factors
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counter-party’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and receivables. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in receivables is remote because these instruments are due primarily from government agencies. Approximately $19,350,000 of the Company’s cash and equivalents are held with the Bank of Montreal, a Canadian bank, which has an AA credit rating.
Liquidity risk
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when they come due. As at September 30, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $19,819,807 to settle current liabilities of $349,026 and had working capital of $19,639,277. All of the Company’s financial liabilities are subject to normal trade terms.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d…)
Financial risk factors (cont’d…)
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices. These fluctuations may be significant.
(a) Interest rate risk
The Company has cash balances held with financial institutions. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in guaranteed investment certificates issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. In addition to cash and interest-bearing deposits with banks of $18,117,587 (December 31, 2020 - $401,245) as of September 30, 2021, the Company has $1,700,000 (December 31, 2020 - $1,700,000) in interest-bearing investment-grade guaranteed investment certificates with accrued interest of $2,220 (December 31, 2020 - $309). A 1% change in interest rates would have an effect of $17,000 (December 31, 2020 - $17,000) on interest income.
(b) Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are denominated in United States Dollars. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. In addition to cash in US bank accounts of $13,969,164 as of September 30, 2021, the Company has $205,936 denominated in US dollars. A 1% change in foreign exchange rates would have an effect of $137,632 on foreign currency.
12. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. 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. The Company defines capital that it manages as shareholders’ equity.
The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Company has historically relied on the equity markets to fund its activities. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
