IC Capitalight Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the six-months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020

1. Nature of Operations

IC Capitalight Corp. (the “Company”) is incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act and has a fiscal year-end of December 31. The Company’s registered office is at 2200 HSBC Building, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 3E8.

On October 2, 2019, the Company completed a change of business transaction whereby the Company changed its name from International Corona Capital Corp. to IC Capitalight Corp., acquired 100% of Capitalight Research Inc. (“Capitalight Research”) and a portfolio of fixed income debentures of Stone Investment Group Limited (“Stone Debentures”). Prior to the change of business transaction, the Company was focused only on the exploration and development of mineral projects.

The Company operates as a merchant bank that pursues value-based investment opportunities in accordance with its internal investment policies. The Company provides shareholders with long-term capital growth by investing in a portfolio of companies, securities and mineral properties. The securities portfolio consists primarily of Stone Debentures, which are generating positive cash flow on a quarterly basis. The Company’s portfolio consists of Capitalight Research Inc. (“Capitalight Research”), a wholly owned subsidiary, that operates a proprietary subscription research business that publishes reports focused on the gold and silver sectors, Canadian preferred shares, bonds and economics. Capitalight Research generates recurring revenues and is expected to generate positive operating cash flows as it achieves profitability. The mineral exploration portfolio consists of the Blue Lake Cu-Ni-Pt-Pd property near Schefferville, Quebec.

The Company does not pay dividends and is unlikely to do so in the immediate or foreseeable future.

These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on August 30, 2021.

2. Basis of presentation

Statement of compliance with IFRS

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance and comply with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) using accounting principles consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and the corresponding interim reporting period. Furthermore, the information on accounting standards effective in future periods and not yet adopted remains unchanged from that disclosed in the annual financial statements.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2020 annual audited consolidated financial statements, including the accounting policies and notes thereto, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the December 31, 2020 annual audited consolidated financial statements.

Basis of measurement

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below.

Going Concern Assumption

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $6,946,768 (December 31, 2020: deficit of $7,628,006) and although the Company incurred a net gain and comprehensive gain of $681,238 during the six-months ended June 30, 2021 (2020: net loss and comprehensive loss of $76,639) a significant factor was the one-time gain on the disposition of a mineral property and unrealized gains in the investment portfolio. As such, conditions exist that may cast significant doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management considers all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The Company's ability to continue operations is dependent on management's ability to manage its working capital and secure additional financing. Although management has been successful at securing additional financing in the past, there can be no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. These conditions may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore need to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These adjustments could be material.

IC Capitalight Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the six-months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020

2. Basis of presentation (continued)

Basis of consolidation

The Company owns 100% of Capitalight Research Inc., which was acquired on October 2, 2019. Capitalight Research was incorporated on January 31, 2017, pursuant to the laws of the Province of Ontario under the name Murenbeeld & Co. Inc. and was renamed as Capitalight Research Inc. on December 28, 2020.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operation and cash flows of the Company and Capitalight Research, its wholly owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses, profits and losses, including gains and losses relating to the subsidiary have been eliminated on consolidation.

3. Significant accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions

To prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS, the Company must make estimates, judgements and assumptions concerning the future that affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported values of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. By their nature, these are uncertain and actual outcomes could differ from the estimates, judgments and assumptions.

The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and also in future periods when the revision affects both current and future periods. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

The areas involving significant judgments, estimates and assumptions have been detailed in Note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Uncertainty due to the Covid-19 Pandemic

The impact of COVID-19 on the Company has been limited since did it does not have any active exploration programs and construction activities. Certain of our directors, officers, employees and consultants have been indirectly impacted by intermittent lockdowns that have been imposed in Canada.

The Company has tried to incorporate the impact COVID-19 outbreaks and intermittent lockdowns into its business operations. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of adverse impacts from further outbreaks and predict the effects on the Company’s business or results of operations.

The duration and full financial effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown at this time, as are the measures taken by governments, the Company or others related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Any estimate of the length and severity of these developments is therefore subject to significant uncertainty, and accordingly estimates of the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may materially and adversely affect the Company’s operations, financial results and condition in future periods are also subject to significant uncertainty.

Inputs and assumptions relate to, among other things, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, cost of capital, commodity prices, and the amount and timing of future cash flows, while accounting judgments take into consideration the business and economic uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the future response of governments, the Company and others to those uncertainties. In the current environment, the inputs and assumptions and judgements are subject to greater variability than normal, which could in the future significantly affect judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management as they relate to potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on various financial accounts and note disclosures and could lead to a material adjustment to the carrying value of the assets or liabilities affected. The impact of current uncertainty on judgments, estimates and assumptions includes the Company’s valuation of the long-term assets (including the assessment for impairment and impairment reversal), estimation of reclamation provisions, estimation of income and taxes. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

Within Level 3, the Company included private company investments and other investment instruments such as debentures and warrants which are not quoted on a recognized securities exchange. The key assumptions used in the valuation of these instruments include, but are not limited to, the value at which a recent financing was done by the investee, company-specific information, trends in general market conditions and the share performance of comparable publicly traded companies.

The following table presents the valuation techniques and the nature of significant inputs used to determine the fair values of the Level 3 investments as of June 30, 2021:

Within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, for those investments valued based on recent transactions, management has determined that there are no reasonably possible alternative assumptions that would change the fair value significantly as of June 30, 2021.

The sensitivity analysis is intended to reflect the uncertainty inherent in the valuation of these investments under current market conditions, and its results cannot be extrapolated due to non-linear effects that changes in valuation assumptions may have on the fair value of these investments. Furthermore, the analysis does not indicate a probability of such changes occurring and it does not necessarily represent the Company’s view of expected future changes in the fair value of these investments.

Debenture Interest Income

During the six-months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized debenture interest income of $96,927 (2020: $80,670) and as of June 30, 2021, had a debenture interest receivable balance of $96,927 (December 31, 2020: $48,731).

6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

On October 2, 2019, the Company recognized goodwill upon acquisition of Capitalight Research, which was determined using a valuein-use valuation model and is primarily related to personnel and future growth. None of the goodwill arising from the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is tested for impairment immediately on the acquisition date and subsequently at the end of each reporting period.

The key assumptions used in the value-in-use valuation model are those related to discount rates and revenue growth rates. The values of these assumptions reflect past experience. The after-tax weighted average cost of capital was determined to be 17% (pre-tax of 23%) and is based on a risk-free rate, an equity premium adjusted for betas of comparable publicly traded companies, an unsystematic risk premium, an after-tax cost of debt based on the capital structure of publicly traded companies. The value-in-use valuation model used revenue growth rates of 5% to 20%, with a long-term growth rate of 1.9%.

Blue Lake Property (Cu-Ni-Pt-Pd)

On June 30, 2008, the Company entered into an option agreement to earn a 100% interest in the Blue Lake (formerly known as the Retty Lake Property) copper-nickel-PGM exploration property, which is located northeast of Schefferville, Quebec.

On February 12, 2013, the Company completed the earn-in by issuing 1,800,000 common shares and by incurring exploration expenditures on the property totaling $1,855,000. This included a 2,377-line km VTEM and a 1,767-line km ProspecTEM airborne survey, which showed anomalous EM responses in the region of the historic Blue Lake mineral deposit (this historic deposit is hosted on claims not held by the Company). In 2014, the Company staked the Blue Lake South property, which is southeast of the historic Blue Lake mineral deposit . The Blue Lake South claims were staked after obtaining VTEM airborne and Pt-Pd sampling data from Anglo American Exploration (Canada).

The Blue Lake Property claims are subject to a 3% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) from the sale of mineral products from the Blue Lake Property following the commencement of commercial production less allowable deductions. The NSR is subject to a buy-back right of the Company to repurchase the NSR for $3,000,000 and in the event the holder intends to sell all or part of the NSR, the Company has the right to require the holder to sell all or part of the NSR to the Company (the “NSR ROFR”) on the terms and conditions set out in a notice which will be open for acceptance by the Company for a period of 30 days from receipt of the notice. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company elected to write-down the carried value of the property to $1 and most of the Blue Lake South claims were allowed to lapse.

On July 21, 2020, the Company announced it staked 194 high priority claims in the Blue Lake South area and renamed all of the claims as the Blue Lake Property.

As of June 30, 2021, the Blue Lake Property consisted of 263 claims covering 12,724 hectares. The Company controls a 35km long by 3 to 5km wide group of contiguous claims on one of the most under explored and prospective Pt-Pd-Cu-Ni belts in Canada. Based on a review of all of the survey data, the Company has identified more than 30 anomalous EM targets for follow-up. The Company will announce its plans for the property once they are finalized.

Schefferville Ashuanipi Gold Property (Au)

On June 15, 2011, the Company acquired a 55% interest in the Schefferville Ashuanipi Gold Property, which is located southwest of Schefferville, Quebec. Upon completing the terms off the earn-in, the Company and Western Troy Capital Resources Inc formed a joint venture. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had increased its interest in the joint venture to 64%. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company elected to write-down the carried value of the property to $1 and certain claims were allowed to lapse. On November 3, 2020, the Company announced it had acquired an undivided 100% interest in the Schefferville Ashuanipi Gold Property mineral claims by acquiring the remaining 36% of the joint venture.

On February 16, 2021, the Company announced the sale of its Schefferville Ashuanipi Gold Project and related exploration data to Ethos Gold Corp (“Ethos”). The Company received a total consideration of $460,000 consisting of $100,000 in cash, 2,000,000 shares of Ethos with a fair market value of $360,000, and a 2.0% net smelter royalty (“NSR”), which can be reduced to 1.0% for a further payment of $1.0 million in cash. No carrying value has been recognized for the NSR. Ethos has also committed to spending $500,000 over three years on the claims with any shortfall resulting in an additional cash payment to the Company of $100,000 to be prorated based on any shortfall in the spending commitment. If the commitment is fully satisfied, then no additional payment will be owed. The Company determined that performance conditions for the sale transaction were satisfied as of March 31, 2021, upon effecting the transfer of the mineral claims in the Quebec mineral claims database and the receipt of $50,000 in cash and the 2,000,000 Ethos share certificates.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures

During the six-months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred mineral claim management and renewal fees of $561 (2020: $28,390).

13. Long-term Incentive Plan (continued)

Restricted share units (RSUs)

The fair value of RSUs is based on the grant-day intrinsic value of the shares that are expected to vest by the vesting date. Each RSU entitles the holder to receive common share of the company prior to, or on, its expiration date subject to achieving the performance criterion (“milestone”) prior to, or on, its vesting date. The fair value is expensed over the vesting period and is subject to remeasurement at the end of each reporting period based on the probability of achieving the milestone and adjustments for potential forfeitures.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had 3,038,463 RSUs issued and outstanding (December 31, 2021: Nil) with a weighted average expiration of 2.15 years (December 31, 2020: nil) which entitle the holders to receive 3,038,463 common shares (December 31, 2020: nil) for no additional consideration subject to satisfying the vesting conditions.

Flow-Through Expenditure Commitments

The Company completed a flow-through (“F/T”) share financing that involved a commitment to incur Canadian exploration expenditures (“CEEs”) prior to the end of specific calendar years and to renounce the CEE tax deductions to the subscribers. Flowthrough shares and exploration expenditures qualifying as CEEs are defined in the Income Tax Act of Canada.

To help alleviate issues relating to COVID-19, the Department of Finance Canada announced a proposal in July 2020 that it would extend the timelines for incurring eligible expenses applicable to Issuers of flow-through shares renounced using the look-back rule in 2019 and 2020 by twelve months. The Company did not incur any flow-through eligible expenditures in 2020 and 2019.

17. Financial Instruments and Risks

The following disclosures are to enable users of the consolidated financial statements to evaluate the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments at the end of the reporting period:

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivables. The Company mitigates its credit risk on receivables through a review of the counterparties in which they do business.

The Company has credit risk arising from the potential from counterparty default on cash and cash equivalents, debentures, accounts receivable and amounts receivable, excluding HST. The Company manages this risk by ensuring that deposits are only held with large Canadian banks and financial institutions. The Company manages this risk by reviewing the credit worthiness of material new customers, monitors customer payment performance and, where appropriate, reviews the financial condition of existing customers.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. Liquidity risk arises from the Company’s financial obligations and in the management of its assets, liabilities and capital structure. The Company manages this risk by regularly evaluating its liquid financial resources to fund current and long-term obligations and to meet its capital commitments in a cost-effective manner.

The main factors that affect liquidity include working capital requirements, capital-expenditure requirements and equity capital market conditions. The Company’s liquidity requirements are met through a variety of sources, including cash and cash equivalents and equity capital markets.

As of June 31, 2021, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $168,288 (December 31, 2020: $76,176) to settle current liabilities of $693,051 (December 31, 2020: $909,373). Based on management’s assessment of its past ability to obtain required funding, the Company believes that it will be able to satisfy its current and long-term obligations as they come due.

Market risks

Market risk is the potential for financial loss from adverse changes in underlying market factors, including foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates.

  • Interest rate risk is the sensitivity of the fair value or of the future cash flows of a financial instrument to changes in interest rates. The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities that are subject to variable interest rates.

  • Commodity price risk is the sensitivity of the fair value of, or of the future cash flows, from mineral assets. The Company manages this risk by monitoring mineral prices and commodity price trends to determine the appropriate timing for funding the exploration or development of its mineral assets, or for the acquisition or disposition of mineral assets. The Company does not have any mineral assets at the development or production stage carried at historical cost. The Company has expensed the acquisition and exploration costs of its exploration stage mineral assets.

  • Currency risk is the sensitivity of amounts denominated in foreign currencies. The Company enters into certain transactions with customers and suppliers denominated in U.S. dollars for which the related revenues, expenses, cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable balances are subject to exchange rate fluctuations. The following items are denominated in U.S. dollars (expressed in CAD in the table below) as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020:

18. Capital Management

There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the six-months ended June 30, 2021.

In managing liquidity, the Company’s primary objective is to ensure the entity can continue as a going concern while raising additional funding to meet its obligations as they come due. The Company’s operations to date have been funded by issuing equity. The Company expects to improve the working capital position by securing additional financing.

The Company’s investment policy is to provide shareholders with long-term capital growth by investing in a portfolio of undervalued companies, assets, or equity investment vehicles in the subscription research, recurring revenue, mineral exploration and asset management sectors of the North American market, but may also include investments in certain other sectors, including technology, transportation, and restructuring. Financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, which may include currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.

The Company’s investments are not currently profitable, as such the Company remains dependent on external financing to fund its operations and administrative costs. Management mitigates the risk and uncertainty associated with raising additional capital in current economic conditions through cost control measures that minimizes discretionary disbursements and reduces exploration expenditures that are deemed of limited strategic value.

The Company manages the capital structure (consisting of shareholders’ equity) on an ongoing basis and adjusts in response to changes in economic conditions and risks characteristics of its underlying assets. Adjustments to the Company’s capital structure may involve the issuance of new shares, assumption of new debt, acquisition or disposition of assets, or adjustments to the amounts held in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements other than the flow-through spending commitment (note 15).

Working capital balance

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $444,087 (December 31, 2020: deficiency of $705,922)
