DIOS EXPLORATION INC. Notes to Interim Financial Statements For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 (unaudited)
(Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND CORPORATE INFORMATION
Dios Exploration Inc. (the “Company”) is an exploration company with activities in Canada.
2. GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTION
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the going concern assumption, meaning the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
Given that the Company has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain mineral deposits that are economically recoverable, the Company has not yet generated income nor cash flows from its operations. As at March 31, 2020, the Company has a negative cumulated retained deficit of $20,450,185 ($20,386,886 as at December 31, 2019). These material uncertainties cast significant doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional financing to further explore its mineral properties. Even if the Company has been successful in the past in doing so, there is no assurance that it will manage to obtain additional financing in the future.
The carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses presented in the financial statements and the classification used in the statement of financial position have not been adjusted as would be required if the going concern assumption was not appropriate.
3. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis presentation
These interim financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) under International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. These interim financial statements were prepared using the same basis of presentation, accounting policies and methods of computations outlined in Note 4, SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES as described in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The interim financial statements do not include all of the notes required in annual financial statements.
4. JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
When preparing the financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgments, estimations and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results are likely to differ from the judgments, estimations and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results. Information about the significant judgments, estimations and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are discussed below.
Significant management judgements
The following are significant management judgments in applying the accounting policies of the Company that have the most significant effect on the financial statements.
Recognition of deferred income tax assets and measurement of income tax expense
Management continually evaluates the likehood that its deferred tax assets could be realized. This requires management to assess whether it is probable that sufficient taxable income will exit in the future to utilize these losses within the carry-forward period. By its nature, this assessment requires significant judgment. To date, management has not recognized any deferred tax assets in excess of existing taxable temporary differences expected to reverse within the carry-forward period.
Going concern
The assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to raise sufficient funds to pay for its ongoing operating expenditures, meets its liabilities for the ensuing year and to fund planned and contractual exploration programs, involves judgments based on historical experience and other factors including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. See Note 2 for more information.

4. JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (continued)
Estimation uncertainty
Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is provided below. Actual results may be substantially different.
Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets
Determining if there are any facts and circumstances indicating impairment loss or reversal of impairment losses is a subjective process involving judgment and a number of estimates and interpretations in many cases.
When an indication of impairment loss or a reversal of an impairment loss exists, the recoverable amount of the individual asset or the cash-generating units must be estimated. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs must be determined.
In assessing impairment, the Company must make some estimates and assumptions regarding future circumstances, in particular, whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established, the probability that the expenses will be recover from either future exploitation or sale when the activities have not reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves, the Compan'ys capacity to obtain financial resources necessary to complete the evaluation and development and to renew permits. Estimates and assumptions may change if new information becomes available. If, after expenditure is capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off in profit or loss in the period when the new information becomes available
There were no write-off of exploration and evaluation asset for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. No reversal of impairment losses has been recognized for the reporting periods.
Share-based payments
The estimation of share-based payment costs requires the selection of an appropriate valuation model and consideration as to the inputs necessary for the valuation model chosen. The Company has made estimates as to the volatility of its own share, the probable life of share options granted and the time of exercise of those share options. The model used by the Company is the Black-Scholes valuation model.
Tax credits receivable
The calculation of the Company's refundable tax credit on qualified exploration expenditure incurred and refundable tax credit involves a degree of estimation and judgment in respect of certain items whose tax treatment cannot be finally determined until a notice of assessment has been issued by the relevant taxation authority and payment has been received. Difference arising between the actual results following final resolution of some of these items and the assumptions made could necessitate adjustments to the refundable tax credit and refundable tax credit, exploration and evaluation assets, and income tax expense in future periods.

5. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION (continued)
On February 11, 2020, the Company signed an agreement with Sirios Resources Inc. ("Sirios") allowing the latter to acquire an interest in the Solo property (extreme southeast section of the K2 property). Sirios can get a 51% interest in this property over a period of three years with payments of $125,000 and exploration work totaling $600,000. Once the 51% participation is obtained, Sirios will have the option of continuing exploration in joint venture with the Company on a 51/49 basis or else starting a second phase allowing it to increase its participation to 90% with payments of $150,000 and drilling totaling 20,000 meters over a three-year period

9. LOSS PER SHARE
The calculation of basic loss per share is based on the loss for the period divided by the weighted average number of shares in circulation during the period. In calculating the diluted loss per share, potential ordinary shares such as share options and warrants have not been included as they would have the effect of decreasing the loss per share. Decreasing the loss per share would be antidilutive. Details of share options and warrants issued that could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future are given in Notes 6.2 and 7.2.

(Canadian dollars)
12. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s capital management objectives are:
-
to ensure the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern;
-
to increase the value of the assets of the business; and
-
to provide an adequate return to the shareholders.
These objectives will be achieved by identifying the right exploration projects, adding value to these projects and ultimately taking them through to production or sale and cash flow, either with partners or by the Company’s own means.
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity. The Company is not exposed to any externally imposed capital requirements except when the Company issues flow-through shares for which an amount should be used for exploration work. See all the details in Note 6 and the Statements of Changes in Equity.
The Company finances its exploration and evaluation activities principally by raising additional capital either through private placements or public offerings. When financing conditions are not optimal, the Company may enter into option agreements or other solutions to continue its activities or may slow its activities until conditions improve.
13. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
The Company is partially financed through the issuance of flow-through shares and, according to tax rules regarding this type of financing, the Company is engaged in realizing mining exploration work.
These tax rules also set deadlines for carrying out the exploration work, which must be performed no later than the earlier of the following dates:
-
Two years following the flow-through placements;
-

Refusal of certain expenses by the tax authorities would have a negative tax impact for investors.
