HELIOSX LITHIUM & TECHNOLOGIES CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2023 AND 2022 (Stated in Canadian Dollars) – (Unaudited Prepared by Management)
NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS
HeliosX Lithium & Technologies Corp. (the “Company”) is a junior mining company. The principal business of the Company is the identification, evaluation and acquisition of mineral properties, as well as exploration of mineral properties once acquired. The Company is an exploration stage company and is in the process of acquiring and exploring its mineral property interests. The Company’s shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol HX, and on the OTCQB Market under the symbol HXLTF. The Company is a Reporting Issuer in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta.
Dajin Lithium Corp. (“Dajin”) was incorporated under the British Columbia Company Act on August 5, 1987. On January 13, 2022, Dajin and HeliosX Technologies Corp. (“HX Tech”) completed a plan of arrangement under Division 5 of Part 9 of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (“BCBCA”) involving Dajin, HX Tech, HX Tech subsidiary Fox Creek Lithium Corp., ESG Technologies Inc. (“ESG”) and Helios Infrastructure Corp. (“Helios Infrastructure”) (the “Arrangement”). Dajin also received final approval of the Arrangement from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) and approval to list the common shares of the resulting issuer on the TSXV. Pursuant to the Arrangement, Dajin and HX Tech have amalgamated to form an amalgamated company now called HeliosX Lithium & Technologies Corp. and ESG and Helios Infrastructure were spun out as separate reporting issuers.
The address of the Company’s corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 202, 8661 – 201 Street, Langley, BC V2Y 0G9.
As at February 28, 2023, the Company’s principal mineral interests were located in Argentina, Canada and the United States and it has not yet been determined whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for the Company and resource property costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of the resource properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.
NOTE 2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
a) Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required to be included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2022.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 1, 2023.

NOTE 2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION – (cont’d)
b) Going Concern
These condensed interim consolidated 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. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate if the Company was not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. As at February 28, 2023, the Company had not advanced its resource properties to commercial production. At February 28, 2023, the Company has not achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $29,010,295 since inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon successful results from its exploration and evaluation activities, its ability to attain profitable operations to generate funds and/or its ability to raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet its current and future obligations. Although the Company has been successful in the past in raising funds to continue operations, there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future.
c) Basis of Measurement
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods. See Note 4 for use of estimates and judgments made by management in the application of IFRS.
NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with those used in the preparation of the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2022.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 4 to the annual financial statements and these condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2022.

HELIOSX LITHIUM & TECHNOLOGIES CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2023 AND 2022 (Stated in Canadian Dollars) – (Unaudited Prepared by Management)
NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (cont’d)
Accounting standards and amendments
The Company has reviewed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Company has not early adopted any of these standards and is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that these standards might have on its financial statements. Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 4 USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Information about critical judgments and estimates in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are as follows:
a) Resource property expenditures
The application of the Company’s accounting policy for resource property expenditures requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, which may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new information becomes available. If, after an expenditure is capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of the expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off in the statement of comprehensive loss in the period the new information becomes available.
b) Impairment
At each reporting period, assets, specifically resource property costs and investment in Dajin S.A., are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts exceed their recoverable amounts. The assessment of the carrying amount often requires estimates and assumptions such as discount rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements and future operating performance.
c) Going concern
The Company uses judgment in determining its ability to continue as a going concern in order to discharge its current liabilities via raising additional financing.

NOTE 4 USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS – (cont’d)
- d) Investment in Dajin Resources S.A.
The accounting for investments in other companies can vary depending on the degree of control and influence over those other companies. Management is required to assess at each reporting date the Company’s control and influence over these other companies. Management has used its judgment to determine which companies are controlled and require consolidation and those which are significantly influenced and require equity accounting. The Company has diluted its interest in its previously wholly-owned subsidiary Dajin Resources S.A. (“Dajin S.A.”) to less than 50%, therefore it does not have the current ability to control the key operating activities of the company. Pursuant to the Shareholders and Operating Agreements entered into by the companies, Lithium S Holding Corporation (“Lithium H”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of LSC Lithium Corporation (“LSC”), was appointed operator for the earn-in period and the board of directors of Dajin S.A. is comprised of two directors appointed by Lithium H and one director appointed by the Company. As at February 28, 2023, management has determined that the Company did have significant influence over Dajin S.A. Accordingly, the investment in Dajin S.A. was accounted for as an investment in associate (Note 5).
NOTE 5 INVESTMENT IN DAJIN RESOURCES S.A.
On October 25, 2016, the Company completed a share purchase agreement with Lithium H, whereby Lithium H acquired, and can maintain, its interest in Dajin S.A. by making a cash payment of $1,000,000 ($865,000 received by the Company net of applicable Argentine tax of 13.5% on the gross proceeds) and expending a total of $2,000,000 on concessions held by Dajin S.A.
On September 30, 2019, the Company, its subsidiary, Lithium H and LSC Lithium entered into an irrevocable offer of amendment to the share purchase and shareholder agreements (the “Agreements”) dated October 25, 2016, to amend the Agreements. Pursuant to the amendment agreement, the Agreements were modified as follows:
-
The original earn-in provisions were terminated on payment of US$600,000 ($794,520) to the Company. This payment constitutes full, sole and complete compensation for Lithium H failing to incur the funding amount of expenditures. Any and all similar earn-in provisions established and regulated within the shareholders agreement were revoked and terminated;
-
The terminated earn-in program was replaced by a new exploration program. The parties will make the necessary contributions to fund the exploration program in accordance with their proportionate interest and following the provisions set forth in the shareholder agreement;

HELIOSX LITHIUM & TECHNOLOGIES CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2023 AND 2022 (Stated in Canadian Dollars) – (Unaudited Prepared by Management)
NOTE 5 INVESTMENT IN DAJIN RESOURCES S.A. – (cont’d)
-
Lithium H applied the $135,000 in Argentine tax withheld by paying the applicable withholding tax plus interest ($81,244) and agreeing to credit the remaining amount ($53,756) on behalf of the Company as a capital contribution in Dajin S.A. when required by the Operator, under the operating agreement, to fund the relevant costs and investments associated with the new exploration program or any other activity to be made in relation with the project. This amount was applied to the operating cost contributions made by the Company during the year ended November 30, 2021 (see below);
-
The Dajin S.A. shares being held in escrow were released to Lithium H; and
-
Lithium H and LSC Lithium were fully released from any and all past obligations and liabilities regarding any kind of reporting and other related information duties which may exist under the Agreements and the operating agreement.
During the year ended November 30, 2020, management was not able to determine the fair value of its investment in Dajin S.A., defined as the price that the Company would receive by selling it in an orderly transaction, and therefore the carrying amount was written down to a nominal amount of $1.
During the year ended November 30, 2021, the Company contributed $272,662 towards its portion of operating costs of Dajin S.A. Of this amount, $53,756 was recorded as Prepaid capital contribution on the statement of financial position as at November 30, 2020. During the year ended November 30, 2022, the Company contributed or recorded as payable $229,982 in contributions towards its portion of operating costs of Dajin S.A. and also recognized $196,901 as its portion of Dajin S.A.’s net loss for the year ended November 30, 2022.
The carrying amount of the investment in Dajin S.A. is summarized as follows:
| $ | |
|---|---|
| Balance, November 30, 2020 | 1 |
| Contribution to Dajin S.A. | 272,662 |
| Balance, November 30, 2021 | 272,663 |

NOTE 6 RESOURCE PROPERTY COSTS
– Teels Marsh Project State of Nevada USA

NOTE 6 RESOURCE PROPERTY COSTS – (cont’d)
– Alkali Springs Valley Lithium Project State of Nevada, USA
At February 28, 2023, the Company held a 100% interest in 62 placer claims in the Alkali Springs Valley of Esmeralda County, Nevada. The Company’s 100% interest in these placer claims is held by Dajin US.
On October 9, 2020, the Company, through its subsidiary Dajin US, entered into an Earn-In Agreement (the “EIA”) with Lone Mountain Resources, LLC (“LMR”), a privately held lithium exploration and development company in Nevada. United States. Pursuant to the EIA, Dajin US granted LMC the right to acquire up to an undivided 75% interest in 62 unpatented placer mining claims owned by Dajin US and any properties in the Area of Mutual Interest (as defined) that become subject to the EIA, together with any water rights, water right applications, regulatory permits and land use entitlements initiated during the term of the EIA (collectively, the “Properties”). The grant was made in consideration of a one-time payment from LMR to Dajin US of US$25,000 ($33,581). LMR was also granted the authority and rights required to apply in its name for all permits, licenses, water rights and other approvals deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with the activities contemplated in the EIA.
During the year ended November 30, 2022, the Company received notification from LMR of LMR’s intention to terminate the EIA. Under the terms of the EIA, LMR has not earned any ownership in the Alkali Spring Valley Lithium exploration project. Accordingly, Dajin US maintains 100% ownership of the claims.
– Fox Creek Lithium Project Province of Alberta, CA
The Company, through FCLC, holds 581,461 acres of lithium brine rights comprising the Fox Creek Property in west-central Alberta, Canada. The Property consists of five separate Government of Alberta-issued permit blocks, with claims within these blocks expiring June 25, 2035 or October 17, 2036.
As at November 30, 2022, the Company made the determination that the carrying value of the Fox Creek Lithium Project was impaired relative to the value recorded in respect to its acquisition in January 2022. In the absence of evidence to support an alternative fair value for the property, the Company made the decision to write down the carrying value to $1. As a result, the Company recorded a write-down of resource property costs of $17,362,321 on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

NOTE 10 CEBA LOAN PAYABLE
On April 7, 2020, the Company received, through its bank, a $40,000 Canada Emergency Business Account (“CEBA”) loan (“Principal”). During the initial term expiring on December 31, 2023, the Company is not required to repay any portion of the loan and no interest will be paid. The loan can be repaid at any time without penalty. During the extended term starting January 1, 2024 and expiring on December 31, 2025, the Company will pay interest at the rate of 5% on a monthly basis.
NOTE 11 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The board of directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business.
The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage. As such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the period ended February 28, 2023. Neither the Company nor its subsidiary is subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
NOTE 12 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. The Company reduces its credit risk on cash and cash equivalents by placing it with institutions of high credit worthiness. As at February 28, 2023, the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

NOTE 13 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – (cont’d)
b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. At February 28, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $335,008 (November 30, 2022 - $742,546) and current liabilities of $886,823 (November 30, 2022 - $1,115,710). All of the Company's accounts payable ($741,823) have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.
c) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. When excess cash exists, the Company's current policy is to invest the excess cash in short-term deposits with its banking institutions. The Company monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of the financial institutions with which they are held.
d) Price risk
The ability of the Company to finance the exploration and development of its properties and the future profitability of the Company is directly related to the commodity prices of industrial minerals (Lithium, Boron and Potassium), and precious and base metals. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. Sensitivity to price risk relative to earnings is remote since the Company has not established any reserves or production. The Company is also exposed to the risk of equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company's earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. The Company monitors commodity prices of industrial minerals, precious and base metals, individual equity movements, and the stock market in general to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken.
e) Sensitivity analysis
Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes the following is "reasonably possible" during the upcoming financial year:
Commodity price risk could adversely affect the Company. In particular, the Company’s future profitability and viability of development depends upon the world market price of precious metals. Precious metal prices have fluctuated significantly in recent years. There is no assurance that, even as commercial quantities of industrial minerals and precious metals may be produced in the future, a profitable market will exist for them. As of February 28, 2023, the Company was not an industrial mineral or precious metal producer. As a result, commodity price risk largely affects the completion of future equity transactions such as equity offerings and the exercise of stock options and warrants. This may also affect the Company’s liquidity and its ability to meet its ongoing obligations.

NOTE 13 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – (cont’d)
f) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s operations are carried out in the Canada, United States and Argentina. As at February 28, 2023, the Company had accounts payable of $Nil (November 30, 2022: $8,295) denominated in US dollars. These factors expose the Company to foreign currency exchange rate risk, which could have an adverse effect on the profitability of the Company. The Company currently does not plan to enter into foreign currency future contracts to mitigate this risk.
