Lido Minerals Ltd. (formerly Commonwealth Cannabis Corp.) Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited – Prepared by Management) For the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019
1. Nature and Continuance of Operations
Lido Minerals Ltd. (formerly Commonwealth Cannabis Corp.) was incorporated as 1093684 B.C. Ltd. ( the "Company" or “Lido”) on October 19, 2016 under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. On February 11, 2020 the Company changed its name to Lido Minerals Ltd. The Company’s head office and registered office is located at 600 – 1090 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 3V7.
The Company is a publicly reporting issuer in the Provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. The Company formerly operated in the cannabis sector. In January of 2020, the Company changed its business to exploration and evaluation of mineral properties and intends to file a prospectus with the Canadian Securities Exchange as a resource issuer.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation. The Company’s continuing operations, as intended, and its financial success may be dependent upon the extent to which it can successfully develop its business.
The development of the Company’s business may take many years to be successful and the amount of resulting income, if any, is difficult to determine with any certainty. For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded net income of $1,601,769 (2019: net loss of $193,577) and expects to incur losses in the development of its business, all of which casts material uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes its working capital will be sufficient to support operations for the next twelve months.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and has adversely affected global workforces, financial markets, and the general economy. It is not possible for the Company to determine the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of COVID-19 nor its effects on the Company’s business or operations. The Company anticipates this could have an adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in 2020.
In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon raising the necessary funds through the selling of investments and issuance of equity or debt sufficient to meet current and future obligations. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events and conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as described above, and accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

2. Basis of Presentation
Statement of Compliance
The financial statements for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 with comparative figures for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 were prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and interpretations of the International Financing Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
Basis of consolidation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. The financial statements of the subsidiary is included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All inter-company balances, transactions, income and expenses have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company possesses power over an investee, has exposure to variable returns from the investee and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by the Company.
The principal subsidiary of the Company as of June 30, 2020 is as follows:
| Ownership | Ownership | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interest | Interest | |||
| Place of | June 30, | September 30, | ||
| Name of subsidiary | Principal activity | Incorporation | 2020 | 2019 |
| Pacific West Exploration Services Inc. |
Mineral exploration | Canada | 100% | - |
3. Significant Accounting Policies
New accounting standards adopted
IFRS 16 Leases:
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS16 – Leases which replaces IAS 17 – Leases and its associated interpretative guidance. IFRS 16 applies a control model to the identification of leases, distinguishing between a lease and a service contract on the basis of whether the customer controls the asset being leased. For those assets determined to meet the definition of a lease, IFRS 16 introduces significant changes to the accounting by lessees, introducing a single, on-balance sheet accounting model that is similar to current finance lease accounting, with limited exceptions for short-term leases or leases of low value assets. Lessor accounting remains similar to current accounting practice. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company adopted this new standard on October 1, 2019. This new standard did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements because the Company does not have any leases.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Exploration and evaluation assets
Pre-exploration costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. All costs related to the acquisition, and exploration of mineral properties are capitalized by property until the commencement of commercial production. As the options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee, the amounts payable or receivable are not recorded. Option payments are recorded as property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received.
Management reviews the capitalized costs on its exploration and evaluation assets at least annually to consider if there is an impairment value to take into consideration from current exploration results and management’s assessment of the future probability of profitable operations from the property, or likely gains from the disposition or option of the property. If a property is abandoned, or considered to have no future economic potential, the acquisition and accumulated exploration and evaluation costs are written off to profit or loss. If the carrying value of a project exceeds its estimated value, an impairment provision is recorded.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined, the mineral property is considered to be a mine under development and is classified as “Mining Assets”. Exploration and evaluation expenditures accumulated are also tested for impairment before the property costs are transferred to mining asset.
Comparative figures
Certain figures have been reclassified to conform with prior period classifications.
4. Investment
On August 8, 2019, the Company subscribed to 1,000,000 units of Champignon Brands Inc. (“Champignon”), a publicly traded company (CSE: SHRM), for cash consideration of $100,000. Each unit consisted of one common share and one half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant was exercisable into one common share at $0.15 per share for a period of three years.
During the period ended June 30, 2020, the Company exercised 500,000 share purchase warrants to purchase 500,000 common shares of Champignon for $75,000.
During the period ended June 30,2020, the Company sold all shares of Champignon for total proceeds of $2,030,594 (2019: $Nil) in the open market and realized gains of $1,830,594 (2019: $Nil).
At June 30, 2020, the Company had Nil shares and Nil warrants (September 30, 2019 – 1,000,000 shares and 500,000 warrants) of Champignon with a fair value of $Nil (September 30, 2019 - $125,000).

5. Acquisition of Pacific West Exploration Services Inc.
On February 20, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement, pursuant to which the Company has acquired all the outstanding common shares of Pacific West, an arm’s length party (the “Acquisition”). Pacific West is a privately held mineral exploration company that holds an option to earn up to a 100% interest in the Nimpkish Property (Note 6). In consideration for the outstanding common shares of Pacific West, the Company issued 2,000,000 common shares with a fair value of $200,000 (Note 7).
Pacific West does not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3; therefore the Acquisition was treated as an acquisition of assets.
The fair value of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed as at the date of acquisition were as follows:
| Net assets acquired | ||
|---|---|---|
| Exploration and evaluation assets | $ | 200,000 |
| Consideration | ||
| Fair value of 2,000,000 common shares issued (Note 7) | $ | 200,000 |
6. Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Nimpkish Property
On February 20, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of Pacific West. Pacific West, as optionee, is party to an option agreement dated as of May 2, 2019 (the “Option Agreement”) with respect to the Nimpkish Property (the “Property”), under which Pacific West has the exclusive and irrevocable right to acquire a 100% interest in the Property from the registered owners of the Property (collectively, the “Optionor”).
