COMPANY OVERVIEW

Bam Bam Resources Corp. (formerly KOPR Point Ventures Inc.) (“the Company”) was incorporated on March 10, 2017 under the laws of British Columbia. The address of the Company’s corporate office and its principal place of business is 2831 Wembley Drive, North Vancouver, BC.

The Company was listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “NP” subsequent to the completion of its Initial Public Offering on December 19, 2017.

The Company’s principal business activities include the acquisition and exploration of mineral property assets. As at March 31, 2020, the Company had not yet determined whether the Company’s mineral property assets contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amount shown for exploration and evaluation asset is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of and the future profitable production from the property or realizing proceeds from its disposition.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. As at March 31, 2020, the Company has not generated any revenues, has cash flow of $24,971 from operations, has a working capital deficit of $140,616, and has an accumulated deficit of $10,105,929. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows and/or obtain additional financing. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with cash on hand, loans from directors and companies controlled by directors, and/or private placements of common shares. There is a risk that additional financing will not be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

  • (a) Fair Values

Fair value measurements are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

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

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

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

As at March 31, 2020, the levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured and recognized in the statement of financial position at fair value are categorized are as follows:

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
$ $ $
Cash 39,097

6

The fair values of other financial instruments, which include GST receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loan payable, approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

(b) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is in its cash and GST receivable. The risk in cash is managed through the use of a major financial institution which has a high credit quality as determined by rating agencies. GST receivable consists of GST refunds due from the Government of Canada.

(c) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as it does not have any assets or liabilities that are affected by changes in interest rates.

(d) Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate in value as a result of movements in foreign exchange rates. A portion of the Company’s cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities is denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has not entered into foreign exchange rate contracts to mitigate this risk. As at March 31, 2020, the Company is not exposed to any significant foreign exchange rate risk.

(e) 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 requires funds to finance its business development activities. In addition, the Company needs to raise equity financing to carry out its exploration programs. There is no assurance that financing will be available or, if available, that such financing will be on terms acceptable to the Company.

(f) Price Risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration and development activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of commodities.
