NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cameroon Mining Corporation SARL is limited by shares, was formed on 23 April 2017 and is domiciled in Cameroon. Its registered office and principal place of business is Akwa BP 122209, Douala, Cameroon.
The financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2020 were approved and authorised for issue by the Director at the date of the Director's report.
These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards Board ("IASBs") (including International interpretations) adopted by the International Accounting Standard Board ("IASB").
The financial statements and notes of the Company comply with International Accounting Standards, which include International equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Compliance with IFRS ensures that the financial statements and notes comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The following specific accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation of the financial statements:
a) Basis of preparation of the financial report
Historical Cost Convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. Monetary amounts are expressed in Australian Dollars ("AUD").
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 1(j).
b) Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Statement of Financial Position shows that the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of \$nil and a net current liability position of \$51,000 as at 31 December 2020.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In arriving at this position the Director has had regard to the fact that based on the matters noted below the Company has, or in the Director's opinion, will have access to, sufficient cash to fund administrative and other committed expenditure for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing this financial report. In forming this view the Director has taken into consideration the following:
The Company was acquired by Cameroon Cobalt Pty Ltd (the "Parent Company") during the year ended 31 December 2020 and as announced on the ASX platform on the 2 March 2021, the Parent Company is in the final stages of completing a transaction (Messok East Agreement) with Ookami Limited ("Ookami") to sell 100% of the issued share capital of the Company for 2.5 million fully paid ordinary shares in Ookami. As part of the Messok East Agreement, Ookami is required to complete a capital raise of approximately \$5,700,000 (the "Capital Raise"). The Company has received confirmation from Ookami that should the transaction with Ookami be completed and the Capital Raise be successful, Ookami will fund the Company's administrative and other committed expenditure for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing this financial report. It should be noted that should the Capital Raise be unsuccessful, Ookami is currently unable to fund the Group's administrative and other committed expenditure for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing this consolidated financial report.
In addition, subsequent to period ended 31 December 2018, the Parent Company successfully raised approximately \$70,000 in Cameroon Cobalt to various sophisticated and professional investors.
Should the Company not achieve the matters set out above there is a material uncertainty whether the Company will continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.
Cameroon Mining Corporation SARL - Financial Report 31 December 2020
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Adoption of New and Amended Accounting Standards $c)$
The Company has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretation issued by the IASB that are mandatory for the reporting period.
Any new, revised, or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
d) Revenue and Other Income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Interest revenue is brought to account on an accruals basis using the effective interest rate method and, if not received at the end of the reporting period, is reflected in the Statement of Financial Position as a receivable.
e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits available on demand with banks with original maturity of three months or less.
f) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Recognition and measurement
Exploration and evaluation expenditure, including costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Cost incurred before the Company obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in profit and loss.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure are recognised as an asset if the right of the area of interest are current and either:
- The expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the areas of $\bullet$ interest: or
- Activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
Subsequent measurement
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if:
- Sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability; and
- Facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
For the purpose of the impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash-generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from exploration and evaluation assets to mine properties within property, plant and equipment.
The value of the Company's interest in exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent upon:
- The continuance of the Company's right to tenure of the areas of interest;
- The result of future exploration; and
- The recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by
g) Equity
Share capital represents the fair value of shares that have been issued. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share capital, net of any related income tax benefits. The option reserve records the value of share-based payments.
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
h) Foreign currency translations and balances
Functional and presentation of currency
The functional currency of the Company is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which entity operates. The financial statements presentation currency is in AUD.
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Foreign currency translations are translated into presentation currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when the fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial instruments $i)$
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified as fair value through profit or loss, in which case transaction costs are immediately recognised as expenses in profit or loss.
Classification of financial assets
Financial assets recognised by the Company are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value. The Company currently has no financial assets other than cash and cash equivalents.
Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities classified as held for trading, contingent consideration payable by the Company for the acquisition of a business, and financial liabilities designated at Fair value through profit or loss, are subsequently measured at fair value.
All other financial liabilities recognised by the Company are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables and borrowings.
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
j) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The Director evaluates estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company.
Key Judgement
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Key judgements are applied in considering exploration and evaluation expenditure to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the Company based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Company operates. There were no significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may have impact the Company unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

NOTE 6: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Risk Management Policies
The Company's financial instruments consist of trade payables.
Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risk the Company is exposed to through its financial instruments is liquidity risk.
(a) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Company might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities based on the actual rates at the reporting date excluding interest payments :
