CEYLON GRAPHITE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

  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 1100-1111 Melville Street, Vancouver, V6E 3V6.

At December 31, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,456,931 and had a deficit of $8,847,418 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. Tthe 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.

These condensed consolidated interim 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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 21, 2020.

b) Basis of presentation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the assets and operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Plumbago and Sarcon Development (PVT) Limited (“Sarcon”), C Y L Lanka (Private) Limited (“Lanka”) and JADS Enterprise (Private) Limited (“JADS”). 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. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The condensed consolidated interim 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.

  1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

  2. 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 December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company held cash only.

  • d) Exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred 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.

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 Sarcon, Lanka and JADS functional currency 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.

  1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

  2. 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.

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: Plant and machinery 8 years Furniture and fixtures 5 years Tools and equipment 4 years Motor vehicles 5 years

  1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim 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) the assessment of indications of impairment of exploration and evaluation properties and related determination of net realizable values and write-down of the properties where applicable;

  • iii) expected future tax rates used in the deferred income tax disclosures.

Critical accounting judgments

  • i) the determination of categories of financial assets and financial liabilities has been identified as an accounting policy which involves judgments or assessments made by management;

  • ii) the determination of whether it is likely that future taxable profits will be available to utilize against any deferred tax assets; and

  • iii) the determination of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

4. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Accounting policy adopted during the year

IFRS 16 - Leases (“IFRS 16”)

Leases specifies the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The adoption of IFRS 16 had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

CEYLON GRAPHITE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has made total payments of US$1,000,000.

The outstanding amounts due to the vendor have been shown as amounts payable on the consolidated statements of financial position. They are non-interest bearing and unsecured.

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 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 December 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 expense 457,161
Balance at December 31, 2019 1,848,961
Equity Component of Debentures
Equity component initially recognized 540,700
Deferredincome tax liabilitiesrecognized (145,989)
Balance at December 31, 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.

Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

  1. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK (continued)

Fair value

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their carrying value as at ‐ December 31, 2019 because of the demand nature or short term maturity of these instruments.

Financial risk management objectives and policies

The risks associated with the financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

(i) Currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, accounts payable, amounts payable, loan payable and due to related party that are denominated in the United States dollar and Rupees. Management does not hedge its exposure to foreign exchange risk and the Company’s net exposure to foreign currency as at each of the reporting periods is at below:

Based on the net Canadian dollar denominated asset and liability exposures as at December 31, 2019, a 10% fluctuation in the Canadian/US exchange rates would impact the Company’s earnings for the period ended December 31, 2019 by $130,743 (March 31, 2019 - $132,914). The exposure to fluctuations in the Rupee is minimal. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on the variable rate of interest earned on bank deposits. The fair value interest rate risk on bank deposits is insignificant as the deposits are short ‐ term.

The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations.

(iii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

The credit risk on cash is limited because the cash are composed of financial instruments issued by ‐ Canadian banks and companies with high credit ratings as assigned by international credit rating agencies. Therefore, the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk.
