INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholders of U3O8 Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of U3O8 Corp. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in cash flows and equity (deficiency) for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of $3,581,365 during the year ended December 31, 2019 and, as of that date, the Company’s total deficit was $105,987,207. As stated in Note 2, these events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor's report includes Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Dylan Connelly.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2019 and 2018 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

U3O8 Corp.

1. Nature of operations

U3O8 Corp. (the “Company”) is a Canadian exploration company focused on exploration for uranium and related minerals in South America; on the definition of resources and advancing these deposits toward production. The Company was incorporated by articles of incorporation dated December 6, 2005 ("date of incorporation") under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The Company’s common shares are listed on the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol UWE.H, and on the OTC QB International under the symbol UWEFF. The Company maintains a registered and records office at 36 Toronto Street, Suite 1050, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 2C5, Canada.

2. Basis of presentation and going concern

The Company is in the exploration and evaluation stage and as is common with many exploration companies, it raises financing for its exploration and evaluation activities through the sale of equities. The Company has incurred a loss in the current and prior periods, with a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $3,581,365 (2018 - $1,403,857) and has an accumulated deficit of $105,987,207. In addition, the Company had a working capital deficit balance of $2,232,758 at December 31, 2019 (2018 - $1,645,966).

The Company has taken an impairment allowance against all exploration properties. Additional financings will be required to reinitiate pre-feasibility studies and further develop the properties and to continue operations. There is a significant risk that some, if not all, of the Company's current property holdings may lapse or title to those properties may become uncertain. While the Company's management and board will continue to search for financing, joint venture partners and new assets, there is no guarantee that they will be successful.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which contemplates that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The certainty of funding future exploration expenditures and availability of sources of additional financing cannot be assured at this time and accordingly, these uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to the carrying values of recorded liabilities and related expenses that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

3. Significant accounting policies

(a) Statement of Compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), effective for the Company’s reporting for the year ended December 31, 2019. The policies set out below are based on IFRS issued and effective as of May 15, 2020, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements.

(b) Basis of presentation

These audited annual consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the re-valuation of certain financial instruments. In addition, these audited annual consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

U3O8 Corp.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(b) Basis of presentation (continued)

In the preparation of these audited annual consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Of particular significance are the estimates and assumptions used in the recognition and measurement of items included in note 3(o).

(c) Basis of consolidation

The audited annual consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the periods presented are included in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. All intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated upon consolidation.

(i) Subsidiaries - The following companies have been consolidated within the audited annual consolidated financial statements:

(1) 100% owned by ultimate shareholder - U3O8 Corp.

(ii) Equity investment in South American Silica Corp. - Since April 2011, the Company has significant influence in South American Silica Corp., ("SAS") (formerly South American Rare Earth Corp.), but does not have control; this investment is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and the carrying value is adjusted thereafter, to reflect the Company's pro-rata share of post acquisition income or loss. The amount of adjustment is included in the determination of net income or loss of the Company, and the investment account of the Company is also increased or decreased to reflect the Company's share of capital transactions and changes in accounting policies. The carrying values of equity investments are regularly reviewed to ensure there is no impairment. When there is objective evidence of impairment, the investment is written down to recognize the loss (note 14).

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(d) Foreign currencies

The functional currency, as determined by management, of U3O8 Corp. and each of its subsidiaries is the Canadian Dollar. For the purpose of the audited annual consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position are expressed in Canadian Dollars.

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end exchange rates are recognized in the audited annual consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

(e) Financial instruments

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, ("IFRS 9") establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) and amortized cost. The basis for classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. For financial liabilities, the new standard retains most of the requirements of IAS 39, except that fair value changes due to changes in an entity’s own credit risk are recorded in other comprehensive income rather than in net earnings.

Classification

The Company determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Upon initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost, FVTPL, or FVOCI. The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. A financial liability is classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

  • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

An equity investment that is held for trading is measured at FVTPL. For other equity investments that are not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to designate them as FVOCI. This election is made on an investment-byinvestment basis.

(e) Financial instruments (continued)

Classification (continued)

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or the Company has elected to measure them at FVTPL.

Measurement

Initial measurement

On initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs except for financial assets and liabilities classified as FVTPL, in which case the transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Subsequent measurement

The following accounting policies apply to the subsequent measurement of financial instruments:

Financial assets at FVTPL

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

Financial assets at amortized cost

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVOCI

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Debt investments at FVOCI

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income is calculated using the effective interest rate method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

(e) Financial instruments (continued)

Impairment of financial instruments

IFRS 9 introduced a single expected credit loss impairment model, which is based on changes in credit quality since initial application. The adoption of the expected credit loss impairment model had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as the reporting date, with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition, based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward-looking information.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the 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);

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

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(f) Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets with finite lives to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. Where such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. For the purpose of measuring recoverable amounts, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units or "CGUs"). The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use (being the present value of the expected future cash flows of the relevant asset or CGU). An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

The Company has determined that a full allowance for impairment of the Argentina assets was appropriate for 2019.

(g) Exploration and evaluation expenditures

Exploration and evaluation expenditures include the costs of acquiring licenses and costs associated with exploration and evaluation activity. Exploration and evaluation expenditures are expensed as incurred except for expenditures associated with the acquisition of exploration and evaluation assets, which are recognized at the fair value at the acquisition date.

Once a project has been established as commercially viable and technically feasible, related development expenditure is capitalized. This includes costs incurred in preparing the site for mining operations. Capitalization ceases when the mine is capable of commercial production, with the exception of development costs which give rise to a future benefit.

(h) Equipment

Equipment is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of an item of equipment consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

Depreciation is recognized based on the cost of an item of equipment, less its estimated residual value, over its estimated useful life at the following rates:

Detail Percentage Method
Furniture and fixtures 20% to 30% Declining balance
Field equipment 20% Declining balance

An asset's residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, on an annual basis. An item of equipment is de-recognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(h) Equipment (continued)

Where an item of equipment consists of major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of equipment. Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of equipment that is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures, are capitalized.

(i) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand, and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are readily convertible into a known amount of cash. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested with major financial institutions in business accounts and guaranteed investment certificates which are available on demand by the Company for its programs. The Company had cash of $77,098 (December 31, 2018 - $94,578) and $nil cash equivalents as at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

(j) Provisions

A provision is recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. If the effect is material, 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, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract.

The Company has provided for all material provisions at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

(k) Share-based payment transactions

The fair value is measured at grant date and recognized over the period during which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that are expected to vest.

An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee, including directors of the Company.

In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are measured at fair value of the share-based payment. Otherwise, share-based payments are measured at the fair value of the goods and services received.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(l) Income taxes

Income tax on the profit or loss for the periods presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.

Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting or taxable profit; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the financial position reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, a deferred tax asset is not recognized.

(m) Restoration, rehabilitation and environmental obligations

A legal or constructive obligation to incur restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs may arise when environmental disturbance is caused by the exploration, development or ongoing production of a mineral property. Such costs arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work, discounted to their net present value, are provided for and capitalized at the start of each project to the carrying amount of the asset, as soon as the obligation to incur such costs arises. Discount rates using a pretax rate that reflect the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value. The related liability is adjusted for each period for the unwinding of the discount rate and for changes to the current market-based discount rate, amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation. Costs for restoration of subsequent site damage which is created on an ongoing basis during production are provided for at their net present values and charged against profits as extraction progresses.

The Company has no material restoration, rehabilitation and environmental obligations as the disturbance to date is minimal.

(n) Loss per share

The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is determined by adjusting the loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

  • (o) Significant accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of these audited annual consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These audited annual consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the audited annual consolidated financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates:

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the financial position reporting date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

  • the Company reviews its South American property interests for impairment based on results to date and when events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. IFRS 6 - Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources and IAS 36 – Impairment of assets requires the Company to make certain judgments in respect of such events and changes in circumstances, and in assessing their impact on the valuations of the affected assets;

  • the estimated useful lives of equipment. Each significant component of an item of equipment is depreciated over its estimated useful life. Estimated useful lives are determined based on current facts and past experience, and take into consideration the anticipated physical life of the asset, existing long-term sales agreements and contracts, current and forecasted demand, and the potential for technological obsolescence; and

  • Share-based payments expense. We measure our share-based payments expense by reference to the fair value of the stock options at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for granted stock options requires determining the most appropriate valuation model which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the option, volatility, dividend yield, and rate of forfeitures.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(o) Significant accounting judgments and estimates (continued)

Critical accounting judgments

  • management assessment of going concern and uncertainties of the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and/or obtain financing to advance the mineral properties (Note 2);

  • management applied judgment in determining the functional currency of the Company as Canadian Dollars and the functional currency of its subsidiaries, based on the facts and circumstances that existed during the period;

  • management determination of no material restoration, rehabilitation and environmental exposure, based on the facts and circumstances that existed during the period; and

  • the measurement of income taxes payable and deferred income tax assets and liabilities requires management to make judgments in the interpretation and application of the relevant tax laws. The actual amount of income taxes only become final upon filing and acceptance of the tax return by the relevant authorities, which occurs subsequent to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

(p) New standards adopted

On January 13, 2016, the IASB published a new standard, IFRS 16, Leases. The new standard brings most leases onbalance sheet for lessees under a single model, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Lessor accounting however remains largely unchanged and the distinction between operating and finance leases is retained. IFRS 16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the consolidated financial statements during the year ended December 31, 2019.

IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments – New standard to clarify the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes. The interpretation provides guidance and clarifies the application of the recognition and measurement criteria in IAS 12 “Income Taxes” when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the consolidated financial statements during the year ended December 31, 2019.

4. Capital risk management

The Company manages its capital with the following objectives:

  • to ensure sufficient financial flexibility to achieve the ongoing business objectives including funding of future growth opportunities, and pursuit of accretive acquisitions; and

  • to maximize shareholder return through enhancing the share value.

The Company monitors its capital structure and makes adjustments according to market conditions in an effort to meet its objectives given the current outlook of the business and industry in general. The Company may manage its capital structure by issuing new shares, repurchasing outstanding shares, adjusting capital spending, or disposing of assets. The capital structure is reviewed by management and the Board of Directors on an ongoing basis.

The Company considers its capital to be equity, comprising share capital, reserves and deficit, which at December 31, 2019, totalled $(2,408,758) (December 31, 2018 – $1,023,101).

5. Financial risk management

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate, foreign exchange rate, and uranium price risk).

Risk management is carried out by the Company's management team with guidance from the Audit Committee under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provides regular guidance for overall risk management.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and amounts receivable. The majority of the Company's cash is held with major Canadian chartered banks and financial institutions in South America, from which management believes the risk of loss to be minimal.

Financial instruments included in amounts receivable consist of sales tax receivable from government authorities in Canada. Management believes that the credit risk with respect to financial instruments included in amounts receivable is minimal.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Company’s access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or related to matters specific to the Company. The Company generates cash flow primarily from its financing activities. As at December 31, 2019, the Company had a cash balance of $77,098 (December 31, 2018 - $94,578) to settle current liabilities of $2,332,211 (December 31, 2018 - $1,790,776). All of the Company's current financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms, except loan payable (note 17). The Company regularly evaluates its cash position to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as maintenance of liquidity. The Company will need to secure additional financing to meet its ongoing obligations. However, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so (note 2).

5. Financial risk management (continued)

Market risk

(a) Interest rate risk

The Company has cash balances and fixed interest-bearing debt. The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in guaranteed investment certificates or interest-bearing accounts of major Canadian chartered banks. The Company regularly monitors compliance to its cash management policy.

(b) Price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse effect on the Company's earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market.

(c) Foreign currency risk

The Company's functional and reporting currency is the Canadian Dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian Dollars. As of December 31, 2019, the Company funds certain operations, exploration and administrative expenses in Colombia and Argentina on a cash call basis using US Dollar currency converted from its Canadian Dollar bank accounts held in Canada. The Company maintains US Dollar bank accounts in Canada, Barbados, and Colombian Peso accounts in Colombia and Argentina Peso accounts in Argentina. The Company is subject to gains and losses from fluctuations in the US Dollar and Colombian and Argentina Peso against the Canadian Dollar.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis shown in the notes below may differ materially from actual results. Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes the following movements are "reasonably possible" over a twelve month period:

(i) Cash is subject to floating interest rates. Sensitivity to a plus or minus 1% change in interest rates would have affected the reported loss and comprehensive loss by an immaterial amount.

(ii) The Company holds balances in foreign currencies which creates foreign exchange risk. Sensitivity to a plus or minus 10% change in the foreign exchange rates against the Canadian Dollar would have affected the reported loss and comprehensive loss by approximately $70,000.

6. Share capital

a) Authorized share capital

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the authorized share capital consisted of an unlimited number of common shares.

The common shares do not have a par value. All issued shares are fully paid.

U3O8 Corp.

10. Stock options

U3O8 Corp's stock option plan (the "Plan") was approved by the shareholders of the Company on June 30, 2009 and subsequent amendments approved on June 27, 2012 and July 29, 2015, for the purpose of attracting, retaining and motivating directors, officers, employees and other service providers by providing them with an opportunity, through share options, to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and benefit from its growth. The number of stock options which may be granted under the plan is limited to not more than 10% of the issued common shares of U3O8 Corp. at the time of the stock option grant. The exercise price of options granted under the Plan may not be lower than the market price of the common shares at the time the option is granted, as calculated based upon the prior trading day closing price of the common shares on any stock exchange on which the common shares are listed or dealing network where the common shares trade, where applicable. In the event that there is no such closing price or trade on the prior trading day, the market price shall be based upon the average of the daily high and low board lot trading prices of the common shares on any stock exchange on which the shares are listed or dealing network on which the common shares trade for the five immediately preceding trading days. Vesting terms are 25% immediately and 25% every 6 months thereafter, fully vested by 18 months or other period as the Board deems appropriate. The maximum term of the stock options is 10 years.

The Company records a charge to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss account using the Black-Scholes fair valuation option pricing model. The valuation is dependent on a number of estimates, including the risk free interest rate, the level of stock volatility, together with an estimate of the level of forfeiture. The level of stock volatility is calculated with reference to the historic traded daily closing share price at the date of issue. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company's share purchase options. The following table reflects the continuity of stock options for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:

Number of Weighted average

Balance, December 31, 2017 829,750 0.96

Expired (25,000) 3.20
Balance,December 31,2019 1,700,500 0.41

(a) On November 13, 2018, the Company granted 1,065,500 stock options to directors, officers and consultants of the Company pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan. Of the options granted, 1,065,500 remained outstanding at December 31, 2018. The stock options were issued at an exercise price of $0.28, vest in tranches of 25%, with 25% vesting immediately and the remaining tranches at six-month intervals with the final vesting date being May 13, 2020 and will expire on November 14, 2023. For the purposes of the 1,065,500 options, the fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 151% using the historical price history of the Company; risk free interest rate of 2.39%; and an expected average life of five years. The estimated value of $272,425 will be recorded as a cost to salaries and benefits with a corresponding increase to share-based payments reserve as the options vest. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the impact on expenses was $147,565 (2017 - $109,727) (cumulative to December 31, 2019 - $257,292).

The Company controls various exploration and mining concessions in Argentina. The various concessions have a carrying value of $nil (2018 - $2,807,660). The Company will consider resuming exploration in Argentina when it considers that associated value creation is likely to outweigh the dilution to existing shareholders brought about by issuing stock to fund exploration. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,807,660 in fiscal 2019. As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying value of the Berlin Project was $nil.

In Colombia, the Company holds five exploration concessions that constitute its Berlin Project. These concessions were valued at $7,666,992. The Company has undertaken a less than optimal level of exploration in the previous five years and has no immediate plans to resume exploration in Colombia until the share price recovers. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $7,666,992 in fiscal 2016. As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying value of the Berlin Project was $nil.

All exploration expenses in Guyana have been expensed to date. In fiscal 2018, the Company decided to discontinue its operations in Guyana and all claims were dropped.

20. Other payable

In fiscal 2011, the Company vended an exploration concession for a share interest in a new entity. The other payable of $176,000 represents an allowance for a potential tax exposure from this transaction.

21. Subsequent events

(a) Since December 31, 2019, 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 operating subsidiaries in future periods.

(b) The following warrants expired unexercised subsequent to December 31, 2019:

February 2, 2020 1.00 119,353
March 6, 2020 1.00 125,000
March 27, 2020 1.00 150,000

(c) On March 30, 2020, 272,500 options with an exercise price of $0.70 expired unexercised.

(d) Subsequent to the year end, Bambazonke advanced the Company a further $150,000 in accordance with the same terms disclosed in note 17.
