CEYLON GRAPHITE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 (Unaudited) (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 1100-1111 Melville Street Vancouver, BC V6E 3V6, 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 period ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,986,851 and had a deficit of $11,111,368, 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 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.

CEYLON GRAPHITE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

  1. 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 28, 2021

b) Basis of presentation

These condensed consolidated interim 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 intercompany 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.

c) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash in the statements of financial position is comprised of cash in banks and on hand, and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are readily convertible into a known amount of cash. As of December 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.

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 period, 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.

CEYLON GRAPHITE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

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, loans payable and convertible debentures.

  1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

  2. j) Financial Instruments (continued)

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 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) expected future tax rates used in the deferred income tax disclosures

CEYLON GRAPHITE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

  1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (continued)

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

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

4. COMMITMENT

In March 2018, Plumbago acquired 40% interest in Lanka by paying 2,849,925 Rupees. Subsequent to the acquisition of Lanka, Lanka entered into an acquisition agreement with the sole shareholder (“transferor”) of JADS whereby Lanka acquired all issued and outstanding shares of JADS by paying 2,296,536 Rupees. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the acquisition agreement, the transferor is entitled to 5% of net profits, which will be paid out in the form of the shares of Lanka or its nominee, for the first 5 years and 3% for the next 5 years. To date, no shares have been issued.

5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

During the period ending December 31, 2020, the Company purchased equipment in the amount of $56,423. Amortization of assets for the period ended December 31, 2020 was $47,573 (December 31, 2019 - $48,030). Net book value of property and equipment as of December 31, 2020 was $344,726 (December 31, 2019 - $279,849). Any change on property and equipment balance other than amortization was due to foreign exchange adjustments.

6. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

During the period ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred $108,997 and capitalized in exploration and evaluation costs. Balance as of December 31, 2020 was $3,066,225 (March 31, 2020 - $3,290,417). The remaining difference was due to the foreign exchange adjustment.

Sri Lanka

On September 12, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement (“Agreement”) to purchase 100% of the shares outstanding of Sarcon Development (PVT) Ltd. (“Sarcon”). At the time of the transaction, Sarcon had 1,000,000 shares outstanding.

7. 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 fullypaid 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:

Gross proceeds received 2,000,000

Equity Component of Debentures
Equity component initially recognized 540,700
Deferred income tax liabilities recognized (145,989)
Balance at December 31, 2020 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. During the period ended December 31, 2020, this modification was disallowed by the Security Commission. As such, the conversion inducement expense was reversed.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK

International Financial Reporting Standards 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures , establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable, amounts payable, loans payable and convertible debentures.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s statements of financial position are as follows:

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their carrying value as at ‐ December 31, 2020 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 and loans payable 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 ,2020, a 10% fluctuation in the Canadian/US exchange rates would impact the Company’s earnings for the period ended December 31, 2020 by $128,000 (March 31, 2020 - $143,000). A 10% fluctuation in the Canadian/Rupee exchange rates would impact the Company’s earnings for the period ended December 31, 2020 by $10,500 (March 31, 2020 - $15,000). The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.

  1. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK (continued)

(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.

(iv) Liquidity risk

In managing of liquidity risk, the Company maintains a balance between continuity of funding and the flexibility through the use of borrowings. Management closely monitors the liquidity position and expects to have adequate sources of funding to finance the Company’s projects and operations. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had a negative working capital of $321,758. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $3,013,759 to settle accounts payable, current portion of capital lease obligation, convertible debentures, amounts payable and loans payable of $3,764,145 which fall due for payment within twelve months of the financial position date.
