XANDER RESOURCES INC. Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) For the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Xander Resources Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia, Canada on December 9, 2010. The Company’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). The head office, principal address and records office of the Company are located at Suite 804 – 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2T7. The principal business of the Company is the identification, evaluation and acquisition of mineral properties, as well as exploration of mineral properties once acquired.
These interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. The Company has no source of revenues and incurred losses since its inception and had an accumulated deficit of $2,916,215 at December 31, 2020, which has been funded primarily by issuance of shares and loans from related parties. This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These interim condensed financial statements have been prepared with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements were authorized for issue on February 11, 2021, by the directors of the Company.
Statement of compliance to International Financial Reporting Standards
These unaudited interim condensed financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
Basis of preparation
These unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies and methods of computation consistent with those applied in the Company’s March 31, 2020, annual financial statements.
Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.
Areas requiring a significant degree of estimation relate to the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax asset, and provisions for restoration and environmental obligations. Actual results may differ from current estimates.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
Significant accounting judgments
Information about critical judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the financial statement are discussed below:
1) Going Concern
The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves judgment regarding future funding availability for its exploration projects and working capital requirements.
Change in accounting policy
During the nine month period ended December 31, 2020, the Company retrospectively changed its accounting policy for mineral property and deferred exploration and evaluation expenditures. Previously, the Company capitalized acquisition costs and deferred exploration and evaluation expenditures of exploration and evaluation assets to the specific exploration and evaluation assets, net of recoveries received.
Under the new policy, exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred prior to the establishment of technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources and prior to a decision to proceed with mine development are charged to operations as incurred. As required by IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, the Company included the restated statement of financial position as at April 1, 2019 below. Management considers this accounting policy is more in line with the IFRS conceptual framework.
The Company re-evaluated the policy for accounting for such expenditures as a result of the current economic climate and difficult environment for capital funding in the junior mining industry. The Corporation has determined that such a voluntary change in accounting policy results in financial statements providing more reliable and more relevant information. The change in accounting policy is consistent with the accounting conceptual framework for the recognition of assets, and is an accepted and most widely used accounting policy choice and practice in the mining industry and this change will enhance the comparability of our financial statements to our peers and make our financial statements more relevant to the economic decision making needs of users. The Company concluded that, although the previous accounting treatment was within acceptable accounting standards, it is preferable to expense costs as incurred, given the subjectivity in determining the recoverable amount and technical feasibility and commercial viability, the expected economic life, and the associated depreciation methodology.
This change in accounting policy has been accounted for on a retrospective basis and applied to all of the Company’s exploration activities for all properties.

COVID-19
At the end of 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported in China. The COVID-19 outbreak has developed rapidly in 2020, with a significant number of infections around the world. On March 11, 2020, it was labelled a pandemic by the World Health Organization. During the first quarter of 2020, attempts at containment of COVID-19 have resulted in decreased economic activity, which has adversely affected the broader global economy. The rapid development and fluidity of the situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact of COVID-19; however, the Company seeks to obtain the best possible information to enable the assessment of the risks involved, and implement appropriate measures to respond. During the nine month period ended December 31, 2020, the Company has taken a number of measures to safeguard the health of its employees and the local communities where it operates.

6. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
On May 20, 2020, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of 10% unsecured convertible debentures for total gross proceeds of up to $75,000 at a price of $1,000 each. The Convertible Debentures bear interest at 10% per annum, from the date of issuance, payable in arrears annually until the earlier of the Maturity date, two years from the issuance date, or any conversion thereof. Each Convertible Debenture is convertible into one common share at a price of $0.05 per share, at any time prior to the maturity date. At the time of the interest payment, such interest may be paid, at the option of the Company, in cash or by the issuance of Shares at the price of Share equal to the market price.
The Company may prepay, in cash, any or all of the Convertible Debentures at any time prior to the Maturity Date upon not less than thirty business days prior written notice for an amount equal to the principle amount of the Convertible Debentures then outstanding plus any accrued but unpaid interest.
The liability component of these debentures was calculated, at the date of issuance, as the present value of the principal and interest, at a rate approximating the interest rate that would have been applicable to non-convertible debt at the date the note was issued. The liability component was recorded at amortized cost and is accreted to the principal amount over the term of the convertible note by charges to accretion expense using an effective interest rate of 15%.
During the nine month period ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued 1,333,443 common shares for conversion of $65,000 in debentures. The fair value of the conversion component of the debentures exercised was $5,854 resulting in a transfer of $5,854 from reserves to share capital.
The carrying value of the liability component was $9,173 as at December 31, 2020 (March 31, 2020 - $nil). The initial carrying value of the conversion option of $6,755 has been recorded as a separate component in total equity and amounts to $901 as at December 31, 2020. The Company recorded accretion expense in the amount of $5,928 (2019 - $nil) and interest expense of $1,910 (2019 - $nil) in relation to the convertible debentures.

c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages this risk by management of its working capital to ensure its expenditures will not exceed available resources. This risk is assessed as high.
