FIRST TELLURIUM CORP. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the nine months ended April 30, 2021

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

First Tellurium Corp. (“First Tellurium” or the “Company”) (formerly Deer Horn Capital Inc.) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Canada) and continued into British Columbia pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia, Canada). The Company’s head office and principal place of business is 381 – 1440 Garden Place, Delta, British Columbia, Canada. The Company is a reporting issuer in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, Canada and trades on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol “FTEL”. The Company owns interests in exploration and evaluation assets in British Columbia and Colorado, USA and its principal business is the exploration of those assets.

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business in the foreseeable future. Management believes that the Company’s working capital at April 30, 2021, is not sufficient to finance operations through the next twelve months. The Company has incurred ongoing losses and has a shareholders’ deficiency. The Company’s ability to continue on a going concern basis depends on its ability to successfully raise additional financing. While the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms acceptable to the Company. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements were authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company on June 29, 2021.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In fiscal 2018, the Company made the required interest payments under the loan agreements, however the Company has not received a waiver of the previous breach of terms, accordingly, the loans are presented as current.

FIRST TELLURIUM CORP. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the nine months ended April 30, 2021

NOTE 15 – CONTINGENCIES

Contingencies

The Company may be involved in legal proceedings from time to time, arising in the ordinary course of its business. Management of the Company is not currently aware of any claims or actions that would materially affect the Company’s reported financial position or results from operations.

In January 2021, the Issuer was provided with information relating to a potential previously undisclosed NSR on the property. Management is seeking further information and clarification and will issue a news release if and when it is determined this is a valid charge against the property.

NOTE 16 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Classification of financial instruments

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value (“FV”) hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1- quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2- inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (ie. as prices) or indirectly (ie. derived from prices); and

  • Level 3- inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company`s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, loan receivable, reclamation deposit, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans payable and due to related parties.

Fair values

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

The fair value of cash is measured at Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of receivables, loan receivable, reclamation deposit, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans payable and due to related parties approximate their fair value because of the short term nature of these instruments.

Financial instrument risk exposure and risk management

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Company considers the fluctuations of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on financial performance. The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board approves and monitors the risk management process.

NOTE 16 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligation. The Company’s exposure to credit risk includes cash, receivables and deposits. The Company reduces its credit risk by maintaining its bank accounts at large international financial institutions. The Company’s receivables consist primarily of tax receivables due from federal government agencies. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the fair value or carrying value of the financial assets.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to raise required funding through future equity issuances or debt financings. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk.

Interest rate risk

The Company has cash balances and debt. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in investment grade short-term demand deposit certificates issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit rating of its banks. The Company is marginally exposed to interest rate risk.

Foreign currency risk

The Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk.

Commodity price risk

The Company is nominally exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and 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. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

FIRST TELLURIUM CORP. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the nine months ended April 30, 2021

NOTE 17 – CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company manages common shares, stock options, and share purchase warrants as capital. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or dispose of assets, or adjust the amount of cash on hand.

In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions.

The Company does not pay out dividends at this time. The Company’s investment policy is to keep its cash treasury on deposit in an interest bearing Canadian chartered bank account. Cash consists of cash on hand, balances with banks and investments in highly liquid instruments, if any. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents as the fair value approximates carrying value. There have been no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the period ended April 30, 2021. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

NOTE 18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to April 30, 2021, the Company:

a) announced it had changed its name from “Deer Horn Capital Inc.” to “First Tellurium Corp.”.
