PURE EXTRACTION CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 – Page 1 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Note 1 Nature of Operations
The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on June 20, 2007. The Company is in the development stage and was classified and listed as a Capital Pool Company as defined by Policy 2.4 (the "CPC Policy”) of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) on June 13, 2008. The Company is in the business of engineering, research & development, manufacturing and selling equipment.
On June 12, 2020, the Company changed its name to Pure Extraction Corp. The Company’s trading symbol is “PURX” trading on the TSX Venture Exchange.
The address of the Company’s corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 440 – 755 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6Z 1X6.
Going Concern
While the Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due, certain conditions and events cast significant doubt on the validity of this assumption. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company reported a net loss of $1,737,820 (2020 - $66,856 ) and as at that date had an accumulated deficit of $5,538,785 (March 31, 2021 - $3,800,965). As of June 30, 2021, the Company has net working capital of $5,234,627 (March 31, 2020 - $1,129,565). The Company expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due.
These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption deemed to be inappropriate. These adjustments could be material. The directors of the Company have approved these consolidated financial statements.
Since March 31, 2020, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID- 19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company and its operations in future periods.
Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue on August 27, 2021 by the directors of the Company.
PURE EXTRACTION CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 – Page 2 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)
(b) Basis of Measurement and Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis using the accrual basis accounting, except for cash flow information.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts the Company and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries, First Hydrogen Corp., First Hydrogen Limited, Pure Extraction Inc. and Pure Extraction Ltd. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The consolidated financial statements of the subsidiaries are including the consolidated financial statements from the date of the control commences until the date that control ceases.
Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed during the period are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Company gains control until the date the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
Intercompany balances and transactions, and unrealized gains arising from intercompany transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
(c) Critical Accounting Estimates, Judgments and Uncertainties
The Company makes estimates about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
Critical accounting estimates are estimates and assumptions made by management that may result in material adjustments to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Critical Accounting Judgments
Critical accounting judgments are accounting policies that have been identified as being complex or involving subjective judgments or assessments.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Judgment is required in determining whether deferred tax assets are recognized in the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unutilized tax losses, require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate taxable earnings in future periods, in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecast cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the net deferred tax assets recorded at the date of the statement of financial position could be impacted.
Additionally, future changes in tax laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in future periods. The Company has not recorded any deferred tax assets.

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)
(d) Functional and Presentation Currency
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian Dollar (“CAD”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in CAD which is the Company’s presentation currency, unless otherwise noted.
All amounts in these consolidated financial statements are rounded to the nearest dollar.
(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that is readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of change in value.
(f) Revenue Recognition
FRS 15 – Revenues from contracts with customers
IFRS 15 was issued with the intent of significantly enhancing consistency and comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and industries. IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretation. The new standard establishes a single, principlesbased five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers and introduces new and enhanced disclosure requirements. Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 15 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or the reported amounts of revenues.
The Company’s revenue is comprised of equipment sales. Revenue is recognized when the equipment has been commissioned as operational, systems control has been transferred to the purchaser and collectability is reasonably assured. This is generally when commissioning has been completed, which is also when the performance obligations have been fulfilled under the terms of the related sales contract. Revenues are recorded net of discounts and incentives but inclusive of freight in the sale of goods.
Customer deposits (i.e. contract liabilities) represents deposits received from customers on uncompleted contracts.
(g) Inventory
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first- in first-out principle. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes materials and labor based on normal operating capacity.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. In establishing any impairment of inventory, management estimates the likelihood that inventory carrying values will be affected by changes in market demand, technology and design, which would impair the value of inventory on hand.
(h) Income Taxes
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit and
PURE EXTRACTION CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 – Page 4 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)
loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
(i) Property and Equipment
Equipment is stated at cost and is amortized on a straight-line basis over management’s estimate of the useful life and residual value:
| useful life and residual value: | |
|---|---|
| Right of use asset | determined by lease term |
| Machinery and equipment | 5-10 years |
| Computer equipment and software | 3 years |
(j) Financial Instruments
The Company has adopted IFRS 9, Financial Instruments. A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets
Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
-
Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”), or through profit or loss), and
-
Those to be measured after initial recognition at amortized cost.
The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains or losses are recorded in profit or loss or OCI. The Company has classified its cash at fair value through profit or loss. The company’s advances and receivables are held at amortized cost.
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest. Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification. There are the measurement categories under which the Company classifies its debt instruments:
PURE EXTRACTION CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 – Page 5 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)
-
Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortized cost is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.
-
Fair value through OCI (“FVOCI”): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains and losses, interest revenue, and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognized in other gains (losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included as finance income using the effective interest rate method.
-
Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. A gain or loss on an investment that is subsequently measured at FVTPL is recognized in profit or loss and presented net as revenue in the Statement of Loss and Comprehensive Loss in the period which it arises.
Impairment of Financial Assets at amortized cost
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in the statements of income (loss), as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.
Financial Liabilities
The Company classifies its financial liabilities into the following categories: financial liabilities at FVTPL and amortized cost.
A financial liability is classified as FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Directly attributable transaction costs are recognized costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. The fair value changes to financial liabilities at FVTPL are presented as follows: the amount of change in fair value that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of the liability is presented in OCI; and the remaining amount of the change in the fair value is presented in profit or loss. The Company does not designate any financial liabilities at FVTPL.
Other non-derivative financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The Company classifies its accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans payable and due to related parties are classified as financial liabilities held at amortized cost.
The adoption of IFRS 9 did not impact the carrying value of any financial asset or financial liability on the transition date. The table below illustrates the change in classification of the Company's financial instruments under IAS 39 and IFRS 9.
PURE EXTRACTION CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 – Page 6 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)
| Line Item | IFRS9 | IAS 39 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Classification |
Original Classification | Measurement Model |
|
| Cash | FVTPL | FVTPL | FVTPL |
| Other receivables | Amortized | Loans and receivables | Amortized cost |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities |
Amortized cost | Other liabilities | Amortized cost |
(k) Leases
IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases, except when the term is 12 months or less or when the underlying asset has a low value. The Company will apply the standard retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings or deficit at that date, subject to permitted practical expedients. Therefore, the Company will not restate comparative information.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for its leases with lease terms greater than one year. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost and depreciated over its estimated useful life. At the commencement date, the lease liability is measured as the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or if that rate cannot readily be determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. If the lease terms are subsequently changed, the present value of the lease liability is remeasured using the revised lease terms and applying the appropriate discount rate to the remaining lease payments. The Company recognizes the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. However, of the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognizes any remaining amount of the remeasurement in profit or loss. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 and has been adopted without material effect to these consolidated financial statements.
(l) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company tests long-lived assets for recoverability when events or changes in circumstance indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset, significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
(m) Government grants
Loans received from government are recognized initially at fair value, with the difference between the fair value of the loan based on prevailing market interest rates and the amount received, being recorded as government grant gain in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
PURE EXTRACTION CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 – Page 7 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)
(n) Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Corporation has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as a finance expense.
(o) Share Capital
Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company’s common shares and share purchase warrants are classified as equity instruments. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or warrants are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
The Company engages in equity financing transactions to obtain the funds necessary to continue operations. These equity financing transactions may involve issuance of common shares or units. Each unit comprises a certain number of common shares and a certain number of warrants. Depending on the terms and conditions of each equity financing transaction, the warrants are exercisable into additional common shares at a price prior to expiry as stipulated by the transaction.
The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable
component. The fair value of the common shares issued in the private placements was determined to be the more easily measurable component and were valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing price on the measurement date. The balance, if any, was allocated to the attached warrants. Any fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded in contributed surplus.
(p) Share-based Payments
The cost of incentive share options and other equity-settled share-based compensation and payment arrangements with employees, directors, officers and consultants are recorded based on the estimated fair-value at the grant date and charged to earnings over the vesting period. Where incentive share options are subject to vesting, each vesting tranche is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. The fair value of each tranche is measured at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized over the tranche’s vesting period by a charge to earnings, with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus based on the number of awards expected to vest. The number of awards expected to vest is reviewed at least annually, with any impact being recognized immediately.
(q) Earnings/Loss per Share
Basic earnings/loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the relevant period. Diluted earnings/loss per share is computed by adjusting the net income or loss attributable to common shareholders dividing by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding, if potentially dilutive instruments such as warrants and options were exercised.
(r) SR &ED Investment Tax Credits
The Company is eligible to claim federal and provincial (British Columbia) investment tax credits as a result of incurring scientific research and experimental development (“SR&ED”) expenditures. Federal and provincial SR&ED investment tax credits are recognized when the related expenditures are incurred

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)
and there is reasonable assurance of their realization. Federal and provincial SR&ED investment tax credits are accounted for as a reduction of research and development expense on the statement of comprehensive loss. Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions in determining the expenditures eligible for the federal and provincial SR&ED investment tax credit claim. It is possible that the allowed amount of the federal and provincial SR&ED investment tax credit claim could be materially different from the recorded amount upon assessment by the Canada Revenue Agency .
(t) Convertible debentures
Compound financial instruments issued by the Company are comprised of convertible debt that can be converted to share capital at the option of the holder.
The convertible debenture is considered as a compound financial instrument with a debt component and an equity component. Upon initial recognition, the debt component was accounted for at amortized cost, and the carrying amount of the equity component was measured at residual value. Subsequent to initial recognition, the debt component is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate through periodic charges to accretion expense over the term of the note. The equity component is recognized initially as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value liability component. The Equity component of a compound financial instrument is not measured subsequent to the initial recognition.

a) Capital Risk
The Company manages its capital to ensure that there are adequate capital resources for the Company to identify, evaluate and negotiate the acquisition of an interest in properties, assets or a business which is considered a Qualifying Transaction. The capital structure of the Company consists primarily of cash and share capital.
b) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company’s cash is exposed to credit risk.

The Company may seek additional financing through equity offerings, but there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.
d) Market Risk
Market risk incorporates a range of risks. Movements in risk factors, such as market price risk and currency risk, affect the fair values of financial assets and liabilities. It is the responsibility of the

iii) Price Risk
The Company is not exposed to price risk with respect to commodity pricing.
The Company provides information about financial instruments that are measured at fair value, grouped into Level 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the inputs used to determine the fair value are observable.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data
The following table presents the financial instruments recorded at fair value in the statement of financial position, classified using the fair value hierarchy:
