1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN
Kermode Resources Ltd. ("Kermode" or the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta and was subsequently continued into BritishColumbia.
The Company is primarily engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring, and transacting in mineral exploration properties located in Canada and the USA. There has been no determination whether properties held contain economically recoverable mineralresources.
The Company's shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V"). The Company's registered and records office is 1 – 505 Fisgard Street, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred ongoing losses. A number of alternatives including, but not limited to completing a financing, are being evaluated with the objective of funding ongoing activities and obtaining additional working capital. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations as they become due. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared corona virus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or ability to raise funds.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating 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.

10. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets orliabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable marketdata.
The Company has made the following designations of its financialinstruments:
| • | Cash | Amortized cost |
|---|---|---|
| • | Receivables | Amortized cost |
| • | Advances payable | Amortized cost |
| • | Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost |
The fair value of the Company's advances payable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of theseinstruments.
The Company is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks:
Credit risk
The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to cash, and financial instruments included in amounts receivable isremote.
10. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT – continued
Liquidity risk
The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is addressed in Note 1. As at April 30, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $2,338 available to settle current liabilities of $322,495. All of the Company's financial liabilities are subject to normal tradeterms.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices. These fluctuations may be significant.
a) Interest rate risk
The Company has cash balances held with financial institutions. The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in short-term treasury bills issued by the Government of Canada and its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks.
b) Foreign currency risk
The Company does not have any balances denominated in a foreign currency and believes it has no significant foreign currency risk.
c) Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. Changes in commodity prices will impact the economics of development of the Company's mineral properties. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken.
Capital management
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business. The Company defines capital that it manages as shareholders' equity (deficiency).
The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Company has historically relied on the equity markets to fund its activities. Current financial markets are very difficult and there is no certainty with respect to the Company's ability to raise capital. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
The Company currently is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management.
11. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The Company operates in one segment, being the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties in Canada and the United States (Note 5).
