INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Shareholders and Directors of Ceylon Graphite Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Ceylon Graphite Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in equity for the years then ended, and the related notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter - Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, which describes matters and conditions that indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information, which comprises the information included in the Company’s Management Discussion & Analysis to be filed with the relevant Canadian securities commissions.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report is Fernando J. Costa.

CEYLON GRAPHITE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Ceylon Graphite Corp. (the “Company or Ceylon”) was incorporated on April 3, 1986 under the Canada Business Corporations Act. On December 30, 2016 the Company acquired Plumbago Refining Corp. B.V. (“Plumbago”) through a reverse acquisition transaction. Plumbago was a private limited liability company organized under the laws of Curacao.
The address of the Company’s corporate office is Suite 600 – 535 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada and its principal place of business is Landhuis Joonchi, Kaya Richard J. Beaujon z/n Willemstad, Curacao.
On July 13, 2019, the Company incorporated a subsidiary B P A Lanka (Private) Limited (“BPA”) in Sri Lanka and retained 49% interest. As Plumbago is the sole decision maker in the operations of BPA, for accounting purposes, Plumbago has control over BPA and thus the operating results of BPA have been consolidated.
During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,267,364 and had a deficit of $9,657,850, which has been funded by the issuance of equity. The Company’s ability to continue its operations and to realize its assets at their carrying values is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and generating sufficient revenues to cover its operating costs. The Company had not yet determined whether its property contains graphite reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the resource property. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and the uncertainties cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. To date, there have been a large number of temporary business closures, quarantines and a general reduction in consumer activity in Canada. The outbreak has caused companies and various governmental bodies to impose travel, gathering and other public health restrictions. While these effects are expected to be temporary, the duration of the various disruptions to businesses locally and internationally and the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Similarly, the Company cannot estimate whether or to what extent this outbreak and the potential financial impact may extend. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 will or may impact the Company is uncertain and these factors are beyond the Company’s control; however, it is possible that COVID-19 may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Company has been able to fund operations and mineral property exploration through equity financings. The continued uncertainty in the financial equity markets may make it difficult to raise capital through the private placement of shares. The junior mining industry is considered speculative in nature which could make it more difficult to fund. While the Company is using its best efforts to achieve its business plans by examining various financing alternatives, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful with its financing ventures.
These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in these consolidated financial statements.

CEYLON GRAPHITE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are described below.
The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution from the Board of Directors on September 14, 2020.
b) Basis of presentation
These consolidated financial statements include the assets and operations of the Company and entities it controls, Plumbago and Sarcon Development (PVT) Limited (“Sarcon”), C Y L Lanka (Private) Limited (“Lanka”) and JADS Enterprise (Private) Limited (“JADS”) and BPA. Sarcon was incorporated in Sri Lanka under the Companies Act, No. 07 of 2007. Lanka was incorporated in Sri Lanka having a registration number PV 129449 with the local registration office No.47. JADS was incorporated in Sri Lanka having a registration number PV99839 with the local registration office No.165/2. BPA was incorporated in Sri Lanka having a registration number PV00214055 with the local registration office No.47. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, with the exception of financial instruments which are measured at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies set out below. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
c) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash in the statements of financial position is comprised of cash in banks and on hand, and shortterm deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are readily convertible into a known amount of cash. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company held cash only.
d) Exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration expenditures and direct costs of exploration and evaluation assets, such as property acquisition costs and leases, are capitalized. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Development costs incurred on a mineral property are deferred once management has determined, based on a feasibility study, that, a property is capable of economical commercial production as a result of having established proven and probable reserves. Development costs are carried at cost less accumulated depletion and accumulated impairment charges. Exploration expenditures incurred prior to determining that a property has economically recoverable resources are expensed as incurred.
The Company reviews the carrying values of mineral properties and development costs regularly with a view to assessing whether there has been any impairment in value, or whenever events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. In the event the estimated discounted cash flows expected from its use or eventual disposition is determined to be insufficient to recover the carrying value of the property, the carrying value is written down to the estimated recoverable amount. Once a mine has achieved commercial production, mineral properties and development costs are depleted on a units-of-production basis over the life of the mine.

CEYLON GRAPHITE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
e) Foreign currency
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars. The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar, Plumbago’s functional currency is the US dollar and the functional currency for Sarcon, Lanka, JADS and BPA is the Sri Lankan Rupee.
Transactions and balances in currencies other than the Canadian dollar, the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (“the functional currency”), are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at exchange prevailing on the statement of financial position date are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each financial position reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date of the statement of financial position. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not re-translated.
f) Provisions
Provisions are recorded when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the consolidated statement of financial position date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
At each financial position reporting date presented, the Company has not incurred any decommissioning costs related to the exploration and evaluation of its mineral properties and accordingly no provision has been recorded for such site reclamation or abandonment.
g) Loss per share
The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share does not adjust the loss attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti-dilutive.
h) Income taxes
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date, and includes any adjustments to tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years.
Deferred income taxes are recorded using the liability method whereby deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
- h) Income taxes (continued)
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. Deferred tax is not recognized for temporary differences which arise on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting, nor taxable profit or loss.
A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
i) Equipment
Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated amortization, less any accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is taken on a straight line basis at the following rates:
Machinery 8 years Furniture and fixtures 5 years Tools and equipment 4 years Motor vehicles 5 years
- j) Financial Instruments
Financial instruments are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement”. A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another equity.
Classification
The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.
Measurement
Financial assets at FVTOCI - Elected investments in equity investments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive loss. The Company has no financial assets designated as FVTOCI.
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost - Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. The Company financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost include accounts receivable, accounts payable, amounts payable, other, loans payable and convertible debentures.

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL - Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs expensed in the consolidated statements of net loss. Realized and unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the consolidated statements of net loss. The Company has classified cash as FVTPL.
Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost
The Company recognized a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost.
At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve months expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in the consolidated statements of net loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in future periods affected.
Significant accounts that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts include recognition of deferred income tax assets, assessment of decommissioning provision, valuation of share-based payments and assessment of impairment of exploration and evaluation assets.
Critical accounting estimates
-
i) the inputs used in accounting for share based payment expense and for the convertible debentures;
-
ii) expected future tax rates used in the deferred income tax disclosures.

8. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
On May 23, 2018, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement offering of units, at a purchase price $1.00 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,000,000. Each Unit is comprised of $1.00 in principal amount of convertible debentures and two common share purchase warrants. The principal amount of the convertible debentures will be convertible at the holder’s option into fully-paid common shares in the capital of the Company at any time prior to Maturity in three years, at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. Each whole warrant will be exercisable into one Common Share on or before Maturity at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. Interest on the Debentures shall be paid upon maturity, at an annual rate of interest of 6% per annum. The Company paid $67,500 finders’ fees related to the convertible debentures.
The following table summarizes accounting for the convertible debentures and the amounts recognized in the liability and equity during the period:
| $ | |
|---|---|
| Principal | |
| Issued duringtheyear ended March 31,2019 | 2,000,000 |
| Liability | |
| Gross proceeds received | 2,000,000 |
| Issue costs | (67,500) |
| Equitycomponent less issue costs allocated | (540,700) |
| Liability component initially recognized | 1,391,800 |
| Accretion and interest expense | 221,285 |
| Balance at March 31,2019 | 1,613,085 |
| Accretion and interest expense | 322,559 |
| Balance at March 31, 2020 | 1,935,644 |
| Equity Component of Debentures | |
| Equity component initially recognized | 540,700 |
| Deferred income tax liabilities recognized | (145,989) |
| Balance at March 31, 2020 and 2019 | 394,711 |
For accounting purposes, the convertible debentures are separated into their liability and equity components using the residual method. The fair value of the liability component at the time of issue was determined based on an estimated interest rate of 17% for convertible debentures without the conversion feature. The fair value of the equity component was determined as the difference between the face value of the convertible debentures and the fair value of the liability component. After initial recognition the fair value of the liability component of $1,391,800 is carried on an amortized cost basis and will be accreted to its face value over the term to maturity of the convertible debenture at an effective interest rate of approximately 18.6% per annum.
During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company modified the conversion price of $0.25 to $0.15 and as a result the Company recognized a conversion inducement expense with a corresponding increase in equity of $533,333 using the share price at the date of modification.
