FREEMAN GOLD CORP.
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Freeman Gold Corp. (formerly Lodge Resources Inc.) (the "Company") was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on October 24, 2018, under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia. The Company is in the business of exploring exploration and evaluation assets. The Company's registered office is Suite 1500 – 1055 W. Georgia Street, Vancouver BC V6E 4N7 and its business office is located at 1570 – 505 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC V7X 1M5. The Company’s shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “FMAN”.
On April 16, 2020, (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed a share exchange transaction (the “RTO”) with 1132144 B.C. Ltd. (“113BC”), the parent company of Lower 48 Resources Inc. (“Lower 48 BC”) and Lower 48 Resources (Idaho) LLC (“Lower 48”), whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of 113BC through the issuance of 33,740,000 common shares of the Company, subject to escrow terms (see Note 10) to 113BC’s shareholders. Additionally, the Company issued 3,500,000 common shares as finder fee shares to an arm’s length finder that facilitated the RTO. Prior to the Closing Date, 14,257,770 common shares of the Company were outstanding. Following the Closing Date, 51,497,770 common shares of the Company were outstanding, with 66% of the Company’s shares held by shareholders of 113BC.
Management determined that the RTO transaction constituted a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes whereby 113BC acquired the Company. For accounting purposes, 113BC is treated as the accounting acquirer (legal subsidiary), and the Company is treated as the accounting acquiree (legal parent) in these consolidated financial statements. As 113BC was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes, its assets, liabilities and operations since incorporation are included in these financial statements at their historical carrying values. The Company’s results of operations are included from the Closing Date. The comparative figures are those of 113BC prior to the reverse acquisition. See Note 4.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been 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 for the foreseeable future. As at August 31, 2020, the Company is not able to finance day to day activities through operations and has an accumulated deficit of $9,333,359. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to develop a viable business and to attain profitable operations and generate funds there from. This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to finance operating costs with loans from directors and companies controlled by directors and/or issuance of common shares. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts on its statement of financial position.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the global outbreak of a novel coronavirus identified as “COVID-19” a global pandemic. In order to combat the spread of COVID-19, governments worldwide have enacted emergency measures including travel bans, legally enforced or self-imposed quarantine periods, social distancing and business and organization closures. These measures have caused material disruptions to businesses, governments and other organizations resulting in an economic slowdown and increased volatility in national and global equity and commodity markets. Central banks and governments, including Canadian federal and provincial governments, 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 any 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.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS August 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) - Unaudited
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
a) Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on February 24, 2021.
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. As such, these interim financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended November 30, 2019 and 2018.
b) Basis of presentation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value, as specified by IFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expense as set out in the accounting policies below.
c) Functional and presentation currency
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, except as otherwise noted, which is the functional currency of the parent and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries Lodge Minerals Inc. (“Lodge”), 113BC, Lower 48 and Lower 48 BC.
d) Basis of consolidation
These interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including Lodge, 113BC, Lower 48 and Lower 48 BC (see Notes 1 and 4). Control exists where the parent entity has power over the investee and 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. Subsidiaries are included in the financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases. All inter-company balances, transactions, revenues and expenses have been eliminated on consolidation
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 2 to the audited annual financial statements of the Company with exception of the following:
Leases
Effective December 1, 2019, the Company adopted all of the requirements of IFRS 16. IFRS 16 specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with IFRS 16’s approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17. There was no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this new standard.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
a) Significant estimates and critical judgements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management continually evaluates these judgments, estimates and assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting effects on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively. Actual results may differ from these estimates and judgments which may cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year. The significant judgements and estimates applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in note 3 of the audited annual financial statements, except for the below:
- Assessment of transactions as asset acquisitions or business combinations Management has had to apply judgment relating to the reverse takeover transaction between 113BC and the Company with respect to whether the acquisition was a business combination or an asset acquisition. Management applied a three-element process to determine whether a business or an asset was purchased, considering inputs, processes and outputs of each acquisition in order to reach a conclusion.
b) Accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet adopted
The Company has reviewed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Company has not early adopted any of these standards and is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that these standards might have on its financial statements. Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.
4. REVERSE TAKEOVER TRANSACTION
Pursuant to the RTO transaction, on April 16, 2020, the Company issued 33,740,000 shares in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of 113BC, whereby 113BC and its subsidiaries Lower 48 BC and Lower 48 became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. For accounting purposes, the acquisition was considered a reverse takeover whereby the Company was deemed to be the acquiree and 113BC the acquirer. The Company did not meet the definition of a business, therefore the acquisition is outside of the scope of IFRS 3 Business Combinations , instead, the RTO was accounted for under IFRS 2 Share‐based Payments . Accordingly, no goodwill or intangible assets were recorded with respect to the RTO transaction.
Under this basis of accounting, the consolidated entity is considered to be a continuation of the Company, with the net identifiable assets of the Company deemed to have been acquired by 113BC at fair value as at April 16, 2020, and the assets, liabilities and operations of 113BC are included in the financial statements at their historical value and include the results of the Company for the period from Closing Date through August 31, 2020.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company thoroughly examines the various financial instrument risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks may include interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and currency risk and price risk. The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments approximates their fair value due to their short- term nature. Fair value measurements of financial instruments are required to be classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs in making the measurements. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The carrying value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities at August 31, 2020 and November 30, 2019 approximates their fair value due.
12. RESTATEMENT
At November 30, 2020, it was determined that the interim financial statements as at and for the period ended August 31, 2020 contained a number of misstatements consisting of overstatement of the fair value of options and warrants included as consideration for the RTO and resulting overstatement of listing expense, overstatement of professional fees in connection with the RTO, misstatement of cash, accounts payable and prepaid expenses resulting in misstatements of consulting, professional and regulatory expenses, misstatement of cash related to foreign currency transactions, understatement of share-based compensation and overstatement of the flow through share premium liability.
