1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Edgewater Exploration Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Edgewater” or the “Company”) are in the mineral property exploration and development business. Edgewater Exploration Ltd., the parent, is a public company that is listed on the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange (symbol: EDW.H). It is incorporated in Canada and its head office is located at Suite 413 – 595 Burrard Street, P.O. Box 49167, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7X 1J1.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting of International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Other than as stated below, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most recent audited consolidated financial statements of the Company.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Audit Committee on November 12, 2020.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

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 and liabilities and disclosures of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continually 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. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

4. SETTLEMENT OF ARBITRATION

On April 14, 2020, the Tribunal in the Corcoesto S.A. v. the Kingdom of Spain rendered its award. Corcoesto S.A., the Company’s Panamanian subsidiary, had commenced arbitration in 2016 under the Spain-Panama bilateral investment treaty and the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules (1976). The seat of the arbitration was Paris, France. Following a hearing in April 2018, the Tribunal rejected unanimously the first four of five jurisdictional objections raised by the Kingdom of Spain but upheld, by majority, the fifth jurisdictional objection, finding that Corcoesto S.A. was incorporated at a time when the dispute was foreseeable. The majority concluded on that basis that it had no jurisdiction to decide on the merits of the claims. The dissenting arbitrator opined that the majority’s decision erred in both law and fact and that the Tribunal did have jurisdiction and should have decided the merits of the claims. Accordingly, the claims were dismissed, and the Tribunal awarded costs of $2,088,643 to be paid by the Company’s Panamanian subsidiary, Corcoesto S.A., to the Kingdom of Spain. The costs awarded against Corcoesto S.A. were recorded in the audited 2019 annual consolidated financial statements. Management’s view is that this award of costs relates solely to Corcoesto S.A. and accordingly, the Kingdom of Spain has no recourse against Edgewater Exploration Ltd.

5.

IMPACT OF CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

Since March 2020, several measures have been implemented in Canada and the rest of the world in response to the increased impact from novel coronavirus (COVID-19). We continue to operate our business forward at this time. While the impact of COVID-19 is expected to be temporary, the current circumstances are dynamic and the impacts of COVID-19 on our business operations, including the duration and impact on our future plans, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time and we anticipate this could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in 2020.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities consist of cash, other receivables, short-term investments and trade and other payables.

(a) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company attempts to ensure there is sufficient access to funds to meet short-term business requirements. One of management’s goals is to maintain an optimal level of liquidity through the active management of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and cash flows. The Company prepares annual budgets which are approved by the Board of Directors and prepares cash flows and liquidity forecasts when appropriate. The Company’s cash is held as cash deposits or invested in GICs which are available on demand to fund the Company’s short-term financial obligations.

As at September 30, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,172,090 (December 31, 2019 - $1,153,374) as a result of the arbitration award costs in the Company’s Panamanian subsidiary (Note 4). Management considers that the Company has sufficient available cash and cash equivalents to be able to continue in operations for at least the next twelve months.

(b) Credit Risk

The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and GST and other receivables. The risk exposure is limited to their carrying values at the balance sheet date. Cash are held as cash deposits or invested in GICs with counterparties that carry investment grade ratings as assessed by external rating agencies. GST and other receivables consist mainly of refundable value added tax credits.

(c) Market Risks

The significant market risks to which the Company is exposed are currency risk and interest rate risk. The Company does not currently use derivative or hedging instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in such risks.

i) Currency Risk

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary is the Euro. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on cash and receivable balances and the settlement of purchases that are denominated in other than the functional currencies.

ii) Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s interest rate risk arises from the interest earned on its deposits and short-term investments. Deposits including its short-term investments are invested on a short-term basis to enable adequate liquidity for payment of operational expenditures. The Company’s other financial assets and liabilities are not subject to interest rate risk since they do not bear interest.
