Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended April 30, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Comet Industries Ltd. ("Comet" or the "Company") was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia and is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. The address of the Company's corporate office and its principal place of business is 1177 West Hastings Street, Suite 1610, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 2K3.
The Company is in the business of developing properties currently Iron Mask, and holding and managing real properties, all in British Columbia ("BC"). The Company owns unimproved land in Green Bay on Nelson Island, BC on a freehold basis. It holds various resource properties related to its Kamloops land and it has previously explored these resource claims for copper, gold, silver, and other mineralization. It has not yet been determined whether these properties contain reserves that are economically feasible.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
a) Statement of compliance and basis of measurement
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 – Interim Financial Reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most recent annual consolidated financial statements of the Company. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all of the information required for full annual financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's January 31, 2025, annual consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
These financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value as explained in the accounting policies set out in Note 3. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.
b) Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of these interim condensed 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.
Information about critical judgments and estimates in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect of amounts recognized in the financial statements is as follows:

- BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
Significant judgments
Going concern
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumptions applicable to a going concern. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the financial position classifications used and such adjustments could be material. Management applies its judgement in the Company's going concern assessment at the end of each reporting period.
- CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
New Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Effective
Certain new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards have been issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for future accounting periods. The Company has not identified any new standards, interpretations or amendments to existing standards that are expected to have an impact on the Company's financial statements other than enhanced presentation and disclosures which the Company is assessing in relation to IFRS.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. This standard aims to improve the consistency and clarity of financial statement presentation and disclosures by providing updated guidance on the structure and content of financial statements. Key changes include enhanced requirements for the presentation of financial performance, financial position, and cash flows, as well as additional disclosures to improve transparency and comparability. IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027.
- RELATED PARTY BALANCES AND TRANSACTIONS AND KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL COMPENSATION
Key management personnel
Key management personnel include those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling the activities of the Company as a whole. The Company has determined that the key management personnel consist of executive and non-executive members of the Company's Board of Directors and corporate officers. Total key management compensation is $67,500 (2024 - $40,630) and further details are described below.
During the period, the Company paid management fees of $24,375 (2024 - $Nil) to the Company's President and CEO. Salary of $13,125 (2024 - $49,630) was also paid to the President and CEO.

9. Investment Properties Under Development
The Company presents its investment properties under development separately. As at April 30, 2025 the Company has capitalized costs related to assets under development totaling $4,133,122 (Fiscal 2025: $3,950,970).
The Company began to capitalize development costs for the Iron Mask project during the fiscal 2025 year end when management determined that it would proceed with the land development based on its judgment that the Company would be successful in its efforts to obtain zoning as light industrial land after improvements were made to redevelop the properties.
Properties under development represent expenditures incurred on the development of the Company's Iron Mask project located in Kamloops British Columbia. These expenditures relate to the development of Iron Mask as a light industrial commercial real-estate project. Properties under development are recorded at cost in accordance with IAS 40 – Investment Property.

12. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern to maintain the rental business and to pursue the sourcing and exploration of mineral properties. The Company does not have any externally imposed capital requirements to which it is subject.
As at April 30, 2025, the Company considers capital to consist of all components of shareholders’ equity, long-term debt, and loans payable. The Company manages the capital structure and adjusts it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue common shares or dispose of assets.
13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK
Fair Values and Classification of Financial Instruments
As at April 30, 2025, the Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, advances to related entities (including advance balances recorded in long-term investments), accounts payable (excluding GST payable), loan payable and long-term debt. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values because of their current nature except for long-term debt carried at amortized cost and long-term investments, which are accounted under the equity method as described in Note 3(c).
The Company classifies its fair value measurements in accordance with the three level fair value hierarchies as follows:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of April 30, 2025, are as follows:
| Fair Value Measurements Using | Balance, April 30, 2025 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Level 1) | (Level 2) | (Level 3) | ||
| Assets: | $ | $ | $ | $ |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 259,328 | - | - | 259,328 |

| Total assets measured at fair value | 3,586,323 | - | - | 3,586,323 |
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company's financial instruments include cash, advances to related entities, accounts payable, loan payable and long-term debt. The risks associated with these financial instruments and 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. The cash and cash equivalents consist of redeemable Guaranteed Investments Certificates totaling $3,326,995 maturing on November 25, 2025.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and advances to related entities. To minimize its credit risk the Company deposits its cash with financial institutions.
The Company's amounts receivable primarily consists of cost recoveries owing from tenants who rent the Company's investment property and are less than 30 days, which is not considered as past due. Credit risk from amounts receivable encompasses the default risk of its tenants. The Company manages its exposure to credit risk by only working with reputable tenants. In addition, on an ongoing basis, management monitors the level of amounts receivable attributable to each tenant and the length of time taken for amounts to be settled and where necessary, takes appropriate action to follow up on those balances considered overdue.
Management does not believe that there is significant credit risk arising from any of the Company's tenants. However, should one of the Company's main tenants be unable to settle amounts the maximum exposure to loss arising from amounts receivable is equal to their total carrying amounts.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage as outlined in Note 11.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities as at April 30, 2025
| Carrying Amount | Contractual Cash Flows | Within 1 year | Within 2 years | Within 3 + years | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | |
| Accounts payable & Accrued Liability | 97,750 | 97,750 | 97,750 | - | - |
| Deposit | 750 | (750) | - | - | - |
| Lease Payable | 40,505 | 40,505 | 7,924 | 22,015 | 10,566 |
| Total | 139,005 | 137,505 | 201,080 | 22,015 | 10,566 |
The Company monitors its ability to meet its short-term exploration and administrative expenditures by raising additional funds through share issuance when required. Most of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of 30 days or are due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company's financial instruments will significantly fluctuate due to changes in market prices. The sale of the financial instruments can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity prices. The Company is exposed to market risk and unfavourable market conditions could result in dispositions of investments at less than favourable prices. The Company's investments are accounted for at estimated fair values and are sensitive to changes in market prices, such that changes in market prices result in a proportionate change in the carrying value of the Company's investments. The Company's ability to raise capital to fund mineral resource exploration is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in mineral resource prices. Management closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
Market risk
a. Currency Risk
The Company does not have significant foreign exchange risk as all of its transactions and financial instruments are denominated in Canadian dollars.
b. Interest Rate Risk
The Company is not subject to interest rate risk on its long-term debt which is at fixed rates of interest.
